Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 96: Offering a plan to flood Cao’s soldiers, but Zhuge Qiao was beaten with a rod (1925)

The atmosphere in the handsome tent was very depressing.

Guan Yu has kept a straight face since he returned to camp, and his red phoenix eyes are also cold and cold, as if they are about to explode and hurt someone at any time.

After defeating Hu Xiu, besieging Xiangyang, beheading Pang De, besieging Fancheng, and defeating Fu Fang, Guan Yu's army was victorious in consecutive battles. The morale of Guan Yu's army was strong.

At this time, we should take advantage of the situation and destroy Yu Jin again, leaving Cao Ren in Fancheng completely desperate.

But I never thought that God was not kind and heavy rain was coming!
  When the local guide, after careful speculation, said that the heavy rain might last for more than a day, Guan Yu almost fell off his horse.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more depressing, Zhuge Qiao collected his thoughts and went out to report: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the king, deputy general Liu Feng, and the Sima Feishi of Yizhou's front department have gone to Nanxia City."

"Now that Fu Fang is defeated and returns to Pinglu City, Nanxiang City is empty. Liu Feng and Fei Shi can easily capture Nanxiang City."

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't seem to hear it, Zhuge Qiao said again: "When the Han River was separated, Fei Shi once said that there will be heavy rain in the near future, and it may not last more than one day."

Guan Yu was shocked in his heart, and his red phoenix eyes became extremely sharp, staring at Zhuge Qiao closely.

All the generals and commanders were also shocked.

Guan Ping, who has always been calm, couldn't help but exclaimed: "Heavy rain? More than one day? How is this possible?"

All the generals and commanders reacted one after another, and finally understood why Guan Yu had a straight face after returning to the camp.

Although Fu Fang was defeated, Yu Jin was about to come.

The generals are in high spirits, preparing to use the ban to gain military exploits.

Is it going to rain heavily?

This is like a bucket of cold water falling, extinguishing the enthusiasm of all the generals and commanders.

"Father?" Guan Ping looked back at Guan Yu with a question in his tone.

a long time.

The fierceness in Guan Yu's eyes disappeared, replaced by helplessness: "Guan asked the guide carefully today. This heavy rain is very likely to last for more than ten days."

Ten days!
  The generals were even more shocked.

The heavy rain for more than ten days was a sure blow to the attackers.

this means.

Cao Ren in Fancheng is very likely to win because of this heavy rain!

"After more than ten days of heavy rain, is God helping Cao Ren?" Fan You was indignant.

Originally, Fan You was a little unhappy when Deng Zhi replaced him as the governor of Yidu.

Later, due to Guan Yu's consecutive victories, Fan You also made many military exploits, but this displeasure disappeared long ago.

Now Fan You just wants to continue to perform meritorious service, and from now on he will no longer be the temporary governor of Yidu, but a serious governor!

As a result, heavy rain is coming for days now!

Any hope of meritorious service will be dashed!

The other generals also became angry and cursed.

I have been waiting in Jingzhou for many years, hoping that this battle will lead to military merit and a title. If I retreat and return to Jiangling, I don't know how many years it will take for me to have the opportunity to fight this battle.

Suddenly, the morale of the generals in the commander's tent gradually declined with the news of the heavy rain for days.

Hearing the angry scoldings of the generals, Zhuge Qiao felt even more ashamed.

He could have responded in advance, but he deliberately did not remind Guan Yu because he believed too much in the plan of the Flooded Seventh Army.

So much so that the alternative is now considered the only solution.

What a break!

This is gambling with the lives and future of Jingzhou's 50,000 soldiers!
  a long time.

Zhuge Qiao took a deep breath and offered his advice: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may enable him to be captured alive."

The generals were shocked.

At this time, you still want to be captured alive?
  Thinking of Zhuge Qiao's performance during this period, no one said anything sarcastic. They just looked at Zhuge Qiao with disbelief in their eyes.

After more than ten days of heavy rain, morale was gone, and the fighter planes waiting for work were gone. Let alone being captured alive, a small victory would be pretty good.

Guan Yu's eyes were slightly sharp: "Ah Qiao, since you have a good idea, just speak out."

Zhuge Qiao said in a cold voice: "In the past, Cao Cao flooded Taishou and defeated Yuan Shu, flooded Xia Pi and defeated Lu Bu, and flooded Ye City and defeated Hebei."

"We can also take advantage of the overflow of the Han River caused by heavy rain for days and flood Cao's soldiers!"

When Guan Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up and shouted: "Zhuge Qiao, how can you propose such a poisonous plan?"

"Do you know how many villages and houses along the way will be flooded if the water floods Cao's army? How many innocent soldiers and civilians will die?"

"If this tactic is used, everyone in the world will think that my brother is as ruthless as Cao Cao, who only cares about victory or defeat on the battlefield, and has no regard for the soldiers and the people!"

"If we use this tactic, my brother and the military advisor will be infamy for thousands of years!"

"You are the eldest son of the military advisor. The military advisor is such a handsome and elegant person. How could he teach such a ruthless and vicious son like you?"

"Come here, drag Zhuge Qiao out and punish him with fifty sticks!"

Zhuge Qiao was stunned on the spot, and all the generals were also stunned.

Seeing this, Guan Ping hurried forward to admonish: "Father, Aqiao is just giving advice. There is no stipulation in military regulations, and giving advice will also result in fifty canes!"

Guan Yu's voice was stern: "The military regulations were set by Guan. They didn't exist before, so let's add one now."

"Anyone who tries to ruin his brother's reputation by malicious means will be killed immediately! Zhuge Qiao's first offense will only be punished with fifty sticks."

Guan Ping also froze on the spot, looking at Guan Yu with eyes full of questions.

Seeing that Guan Xing wanted to speak, Guan Yu glanced at Guan Xing with his sharp eyes: "Anyone who dares to persuade him again will be guilty of the same crime as Zhuge Qiao."

Zhuge Qiao did not resist, nor did he beg for mercy or excuse, and allowed the school swordsman to drag him out of the tent.

As the two walking staffs rose and fell one after another, red marks appeared on Zhuge Qiao's back.

Guan Yu heard the low sound of the torture stick and shouted sternly: "Anyone who dares to show favoritism will be punished with the same crime!"

As soon as the military order was issued, Zhuge Qiao's back was immediately bruised and bruised, making all the generals and commanders feel chilled.

Seeing this, Guan Ping ignored the punishment and knelt down and said: "Father, Aqiao is still young and has never been hit with a stick. He cannot bear the fifty punishment stick at all."

"My child is willing to be punished for Aqiao!"

Seeing this, Guan Xing quickly knelt down and said, "Father, you just said that Aqiao will only be punished with fifty sticks for his first offense."

"But fifty sticks will cost Aqiao his life. Father, please be patient. My child is willing to be punished for Aqiao!"

All the generals also knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the chief secretary gave me advice. My original intention was to defeat the thief, and there was no ill intention."

When Guan Yu saw the generals begging for mercy, he snorted: "There is no such thing as punishment in the army. I have the right to record the number of sticks that have not been punished."

"If you dare to ruin my brother's reputation again, even if he is Guan's future son-in-law, he will be killed!"

Guan Ping and Guan Xing quickly stood up and rushed out of the commander's tent, fearing that he would run too slow and let the executioner's swordsman give him an extra blow.

Seeing that the skin on Zhuge Qiao's back was already torn, Guan Ping quickly took out the stick sore medicine he carried with him and applied it to Zhuge Qiao.

Guan Xing quickly carried Zhuge Qiao back to the camp.

soon.

The news that Zhuge Qiao, the former general's chief clerk, was beaten with a stick by Guan Yu for offering water to flood the army with poison spread throughout the military camp.

Both the lieutenants, generals and soldiers were all horrified.

in camp.

Guan Xing was still angry with himself: "I can't understand that Aqiao was punished so severely by his father because he just offered his advice!"

"Brother, you understand my father's thoughts best. Why does my father do this?"

Guan Ping shook his head gently.

It was so sudden just now. Even if Guan Ping understood Guan Yu's thoughts best, he still didn't understand why Guan Yu wanted to torture Zhuge Qiao.
