Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 451 The sword is too cold

Yu Jin and his seven armies were only ten miles away from Fancheng, and the distance between them was only a few kilometers in later generations. The distance between the two could not be said to be far.

When the raging waves of five or six feet rushed over the river embankment, bypassed Fancheng, and poured into the plains of northern Han Dynasty, as the distance lengthened and obstacles blocked the way, the turbulent Han River gradually calmed down, unlike before. So terrifying.

However, even so, the turbulent Han River also brought a large amount of water, with a wave height of more than three feet, which was beyond the capabilities of ordinary human power. But fortunately, such high waves are not the waves of the Hanshui River in its early stages, but the waves of the Hanshui River in its peak period.

After the Han River broke through the embankment and rushed through Fancheng, the scouts hurriedly told Yu Jin the news. At that time, Yu Jin experienced initial anxiety due to years of fighting, and then quickly stabilized his mind.

Then, Yu Jin climbed high to observe the water situation in the north and south. Without waiting for the generals to be summoned, the Wei army officers and soldiers with lower orders in Yu Jin moved to higher places to avoid the water on their own, taking care not to be injured by the rain.

Yu Jin issued dispatch orders quickly, and within a short time, the general orders were delivered to various ministries. Under the leadership of Yan Xing, Hao Zhou, Pei Jing and other Wei generals, they brought their weapons and equipment, abandoned their camps, and went to higher ground to avoid the flood.

Although the situation was critical, the victory was that the ban was issued in a timely manner. Although not all lives were saved, at least everyone managed to escape to higher ground before the peak of the Han River reached its peak. More than 30,000 people in the Seventh Army were distributed in more than a dozen locations, such as hills, hills, embankments and other places.

From the high point of the hillock, Yu Jin watched the Han River, which was more than five feet high, break through the embankment and rush toward his home. He felt very scared, fearing that the hillside where he was sitting would be submerged.

Fortunately, the river embankment, Fancheng and the distance of more than ten miles have consumed a lot of the impact of the Han River. When the wave rushed in front of Yu Jin, its height was only two or three feet high. When it hit the hillside, it was not enough to cause harm.

Qin Lu hesitated for a while and said: "However, Guan Yu's troops commanding Zhouge may take the opportunity to advance and attack the enemy at the foot of the slope. How can we fight at that time?"

"General, wait until the flood recedes!"

Yu Jin sighed loudly and said: "You have been in Xiangfan for ten years, and you don't know the terrain of the Han River. You have presumed to be a general. It is your fault that the seven armies and horses have been reduced to this day!"

The morale of the army is scattered and the armor is incomplete. Faced with Guan Yu's encirclement with boats and boats, what can they do to stop them?

Guan Yu is not a fool. If he raises his troops to attack, he will slowly encroach on each tribe. From easy to difficult, he will pull out more than ten tribes bit by bit, and then eat them all.

"General, our army is trapped among the hills by the Han River. What should we do?" General Qin Lu asked.

Yu Jin raised his head and looked around at the current situation with a troubled expression.

Although Cao Ren felt guilty about his mistake in site selection, which resulted in Yu Jin's Seventh Army being flooded, he managed to resolve himself. After all, the Han River is normal every year, and he chose the site based on his usual experience. Who would have expected that the Han River would rise so violently? It is beyond ordinary people's expectations.

Yu Jin's expression was dull for a moment, and he looked around at the officers and soldiers of the seven armies who were separated by the Han River on various high places, and then remained silent.

Listening to the chaotic sounds on the hillside, and looking at the Han River like a wild horse, Yu Jin felt bitter and unspeakable, and he was already cursing Cao Ren in his heart.

"Cao Ren!"

If Cao Ren hadn't forced him to station troops ten miles away from Fancheng, how could there have been the current disaster. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the soldiers of the Seventh Army would have been at least half submerged by the Han River.

Of course, Yu Jin and the soldiers on the left and right didn't know what Cao Ren was thinking. If they knew what Cao Ren was thinking, they would probably be willing to stab Cao Ren to death with a sword.

Now, coupled with the surging Han River, they were trapped on high places, like a trapped bird unable to fly. They had to wait for the Han River to recede before taking the next step.

"The Han River is raging now, and there is nowhere to go. Let's wait until the flood recedes!" Yu Jin sighed.

When the generals on the left and right heard this, they felt angry. The reason why he ended up like this now was not because the enemy was too strong, but because his teammates made mistakes. How to prevent them from being angry.

Heavy rains have fallen continuously for more than ten days. Not only the Han River has surged, but all the major rivers in northern Han Dynasty have also risen. A large number of ponds along the river have overflowed due to rainwater problems. Many low-lying areas have been accumulated by rainwater and are gradually overflowing. Rise up and wreak havoc in the Hanbei Plain.

Qin Lu's words are very realistic. They were trapped by the Han River. The Seventh Army had more than 30,000 people and was cut into more than a dozen units by the Han River. The situation of each unit was not as optimistic as they had less armor or fewer bows and crossbows. Not only were they unable to compete with Guan Yu's troops contend. And being surrounded by the Han River, their military spirit was already frightened.

"Let's appease the sergeants of our headquarters first, and we can discuss Guan Yu's matter later." Yu Jin said in a muffled voice.

"promise!"

On that day, the Han River rose, the waves were surging, and the wind and waves were quite strong. The heavy rain that lasted for half a month gradually turned into drizzle.

The Han navy that Yu Jin was worried about did not lead its troops out because of the huge flood, but stayed in the water stronghold. The hillside where Yu Jin Yu Jin was located was where his old central army was, and there were more than five thousand soldiers gathered around it. Because the Han River flooded the camp, only a thousand people's tents were preserved, and more than 3,000 people had no tents to use.

Under the coordination of Yu Jin, 5,000 people crowded into the tents of more than 1,000 people to sleep. Although the crowds were crowded together, they were not infringed by wind and rain. However, due to the shortage of food and grass, it was difficult to light fires for warmth, and the morale of the Wei army's officers and soldiers was often low due to hunger and cold.

It was night, and he was sleepless. Not only was his tent occupied by soldiers, but he was also anxious about the future.

Yu Jin stood on the edge of the hill, listening to the powerful sound of the Han River lapping the shore in the night. He was lost in thought and did not react at all.

Now that the water is like this, what else can he do?

When he was young, he thought about various ways to die in defeat, and even thought about fighting to death for Duke Cao. However, those were all based on fighting on the battlefield. Now that he was tricked by his teammates and trapped in the vast white waters of Han River, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Maybe it's not that he doesn't know how to deal with it, but that he's afraid of something.

When he was holding the sword hilt and wanted to draw the sword to kill himself, he was unable to draw the sword out of fear of death.

"surrender?"

"Chengren?"

The choice between the two left Yu Jin wondering how to choose.

He surrendered because of the situation, and he felt that he was sorry for His Majesty's kindness.

However, because he committed suicide to serve his country, he lacked the courage to draw the sword at his old age.

Seeing that Yu Jin was in a daze, the attendant lowered his voice and said: "General, why not temporarily bundle some rafts, and at dawn, I will escort the general on the rafts to see if we can break through to the north. The general has served your majesty for thirty years. Although he is now blocked by the Han River, And if the army is defeated, I hope your majesty will remember the old friendship and will be tolerant."

Yu Jin looked at the formidable Han River at night and sighed: "There are flash floods and the Han River is turbulent. How can a mere raft withstand the wind and waves? The only person who can withstand the wind and waves is a big boat."

If he could escape on a raft, Yu Jin wouldn't be so worried.

At this time, Cao Jun's navy was burned by Wenpin at Dengsai. Apart from Guan Yu's navy, Cao Jun no longer had any large ships available in the Han River basin.

"never mind!"

Still feeling lucky, Yu said: "Put on the raft tonight and see how the water will be tomorrow. If the water drops, take the raft north."

"What if the raft can't move and water thieves invade again?" the attendant asked.

Yu Jin looked at the stars in the sky and was silent again.

Seeing that Yu couldn't answer, the attendants sneaked into the night and tied up the raft.

After the attendant left, Yu Jin mustered up his courage, drew out his sword, and put his fingers on the blade. For some reason, the sword's edge was particularly cold today, causing the courage he had finally mustered up to dissipate immediately.

"Why is the sword so cold?" Yu Jin sighed quietly.

However, I don't know how long it took, Yu Jin comforted himself and thought to himself: "Guan Yu was defeated in Xuzhou and surrendered to your majesty. Now I am unfortunately trapped on the hill due to Cao Ren's loss and the power of the Han River. Why not follow Guan Yu's old story and keep it useful?" I surrender my body to Liu Bei so that I can return to my country in the future and repay His Majesty's kindness."

"As for Xuchang's wife and children, I expect that based on my old achievements and the surrender of the Seventh Army. This means that the law does not blame everyone, and your majesty will not embarrass Xuchang's wife and children. When I return to Liu Bei, I will definitely be with him because of my old relationship. You can be treated with courtesy by the water thieves and ministers, and you won't be made any trouble."

"If the army is defeated because of me, I will fight hard. It is not my fault that the army is defeated because of the power of heaven and earth!"

"Ants still live in vain, let alone humans!" Yu Jin sighed silently in his heart.
