Chapter 429 Flooding the Seventh Army ([-])

In May, the weather changed suddenly.

In this era, there is no Gregorian calendar, no Greenwich Mean Time, and no division of months for later generations.People calculate according to the 24 solar terms, and most of them use the time of the lunar calendar as the time basis.

Therefore, at this time in May, it is already midsummer.

Earlier, the weather was still very hot.In one night, the whole Jingzhao changed suddenly, with dark clouds covering the sun.

The pattering rain, the pouring rain...

Unknowingly, the north has entered the rainy season, and the continuous rain has caused the water potential of the Yishui and Luoshui to skyrocket.

Standing on the tower of Xuanyuan Pass, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded secretly as he watched the rain all over the sky.

Thinking that he has also been in the army for many years, he naturally knows that a general is proficient in astronomy and geography, and is good at taking advantage of the situation.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was so amazing at such a young age.

Looking at his subordinates, there are indeed not many generals who can be compared with Zhou Yu. No wonder Sun Ce won him and was able to occupy Jiangdong.Cao Cao met Zhou Yu when he was a child, and he was very impressed with Zhou Yu.It's a pity that Zhou Yi was demoted back to Lujiang because of the change in Yongqiu.Cao Cao has never seen or heard of Zhou Yu since then.

Lu Su is superior to Zhou Yu in the overall situation, but in the details, he is inferior to Zhou Yu's ingenuity.

It is true that no one is perfect!

Cao Cao glanced at Lu Su beside him, and said softly, "Zijing, have you ever talked with that Zhou Gongjin in private?"

Lu Su smiled wryly after hearing this, "Gong Jin is eloquent, I just opened my mouth, and he blocked everything!"

Feeling a little regretful, Cao Cao sighed, "Why can't such a character be used by me? What a pity!"

Lu Su also sighed softly.

In fact, why didn't he intend to persuade Zhou Yu?In Cao Cao's camp, it is basically divided into two groups.One is the Yingchuan aristocratic group represented by Xun Yu and others, and the other is the official group headed by the Cao family and Xiahou family.Lu Su, and many others, are between these two groups, let's call it the humble group.

Lu Su came from a wealthy family, although he was not from a humble family, he certainly wasn't from a powerful family.

He is now relying on Cao Cao's trust to gain a firm foothold, but this is still far from strong enough for him.

He needs to have a team that belongs to him.

If Zhou Yu can be brought over, relying on the means of the two of them, they will definitely be able to compete with the other two teams.

What a pity, what a pity...

Thinking of this, Lu Su couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

"Zijing, has everything been arranged?"

Lu Su woke up from his contemplation, nodded quickly and said: "My lord, don't worry, everything has been properly arranged according to the plan. Liu Bei is hiding in the new city, and Sun Quan leads the army in ambush in Beiman Mountain. As long as Gongsun Kang digs the embankment, Gongjin will Launch an attack. At that time, even if Xia Houlan escapes from Yanshi, she will never return to Chang'an alive. Unfortunately, it is not Dong Pi."

The meaning of Lu Su's words is a bit regretful.

Just a Jahoran...

Wouldn't it be great if Dong Bi was the leader?After the first battle is successful, when the time comes, the army will go straight to Chang'an, and they will definitely be able to occupy Guanzhong.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "If it was Dong Manzi, I might not dare to use this kind of method. Zijing, you have never confronted Dong Xiping, so you don't know his skills. At first glance, that guy looks like a reckless person, but in fact, he is a fool." Be very cautious. If he is in charge this time, I will retreat to the three barriers and hand over all Jingzhao to him, and then wear down his spirit.

In a head-on confrontation, there are few people who can be his opponents! "

The so-called three passes refer to Yique Pass, Dagu Pass and Xuanyuan Pass.These three passes can be called Yuzhou barriers.

Hearing this, Lu Su was quite unconvinced.

"My lord, I don't believe that Dong Bi is really so powerful?"

Before the words were finished, a sound like the roar of an old cow suddenly came from the far north, followed by the sound of the sky falling and the earth cracking. Standing on the Xuanyuan Pass, one could clearly feel it.

Lu Su's expression changed, "Yishui, you broke your mouth!"

******
The surging flood is roaring.

Like a group of hungry beasts, they went straight to Yanshi.

Xia Houlan is watching the sky in Yanshi Commander's Mansion.A faint roar was heard, followed by someone screaming outside the commander's mansion: "It's bad, the river dam burst, the river dam burst, run quickly, it's coming soon... "

Xia Houlan couldn't help trembling in her heart, and ran out quickly.

His handsome mansion is located on a high place in Yanshi, and it's nothing to stand in the courtyard.But the entire Yanshi has been immersed in the ocean.

The flood broke down the city wall of Yanshi, and the water as high as a person rushed over, carrying a lot of earth, rocks, bricks and tiles.

There is no trace of the military camp stationed outside Yanshi City.

The surviving soldiers shouted, calling for the rescue of their companions.The dead bodies floated and sank with the turbid waves, and the horses neighed and struggled in the water.

In an instant, Xia Houlan suddenly realized!
Got it, got it...

"Quick rescue, quick rescue!"

Xia Houlan commanded the troops to salvage the survivors, but the [-] army was almost wiped out.

After the flood, Yanshi became a lake of water.If the war horse runs two steps, it will sink into the mud and it will be difficult to move.

At dawn, Xia Houlan summoned the remaining soldiers.

There are only thousands of people left, and a lonely city whose walls have collapsed.

At this time, Xia Houlan remembered Dong Bi's letter to him: When confronting Cao Cao, you must control the overall situation, and if you make a mistake, you will be captured by Cao Cao.After occupying Luoyang, it is best not to attack easily.

It's a pity that Xia Houlan didn't listen to it at the time, and it was impossible for him to listen to it.

After occupying Luoyang, Xia Houlan's confidence swelled beyond control.Don't say that Dong Bi is his enemy, even if Dong Bi is his friend, even if the person who said that was Zhao Yun whom he trusts, it is useless.

"General, what should we do?"

Xia Houlan gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Return to Luoyang immediately, as long as we can return to Luoyang, we still have a chance!"

As a result, the Guanzhong Army, which had less than [-] people, was hastily organized.

Fortunately, the journey from Yanshi to Luoyang is only a day or two away. Once you arrive in Luoyang, everything will be easy.

Abandoned war horses, abandoned food and grass...

At this time, Xia Houlan was no longer as majestic as when she first set off for the expedition.Looking embarrassed, panicked like a bereaved dog.

After leaving Yanshi, Xia Houlan led the soldiers and horses and marched rapidly towards Luoyang.

When passing through Gou's, the soldiers and horses were extremely distressed.Xia Houlan had no choice but to stop temporarily and ordered people to bury the pot to cook.

"General, eat some!"

The soldiers brought the crude rations, but Xia Houlan still had an appetite.

"Eat yourselves, we have to hurry when we are full... I just hope Luo Yang will not have any more troubles now."

Before the words fell, there was a sudden shout of killing in the distance.

Gongsun Kang led the troops from the headquarters and came over from a distance. The soldiers shouted: "Don't leave Xiahoulan!"

The hungry Guanzhong Army does not belong to the Han'an Army.

To be precise, the camps of the Guanzhong Army are the foundation of the Han'an Army, but not every soldier who enters the camp can enter the Han'an Army.You must go through rigorous training and then be selected from among them. Only after you pass can you join the Han'an Army.

Most of the soldiers who were eliminated were stationed on the spot.

Such a team, first escaped from death, has already lost the slightest fighting spirit.Now that something happened, he immediately panicked.

Xia Houlan saddled on the horse and shouted loudly with a gun.

But who will listen to him?The whole thing was in a mess, and was killed by Gongsun Kang's men and fled in despair, throwing away their helmets and armors.

Xia Houlan led the army to kill a bloody road and ran towards Luoyang.

Seeing that there is Beiman Mountain in front of him, as long as he goes around, he will not be far from Luoyang.At this time, it was already dark, and there were only two to three thousand people around Xia Houlan, each of them was exhausted, and it was obvious that they had reached the point where they could not run.

Xia Houlan's mount is a Dawan horse from the Western Regions, and it is still panting now.

"The whole army will stay temporarily and take a rest. We will walk through Beiman Mountain overnight and arrive at Luoyang."

It sounds like there is no difference between going around Beiman Mountain and passing through Beiman Mountain, but in fact, the journey is different.

Walking through Beiman Mountain, it goes straight to Dongze in the suburb of Luoyang.

And if you go around Beiman Mountain, the distance will increase by half.Moreover, on the official road, there might be an ambush?
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Xia Houlan's words.

They sat on the ground one by one, panting without listening.Fortunately, this is May, if it is winter, I am afraid that half of them will freeze to death.Xia Houlan also jumped off the horse and let the horse look for food by itself. He held a spear and sat down against a tree.

All around, very quiet...

Looking at the few soldiers left, Xia Houlan secretly regretted it.

Putting aside prejudices, Dong Bi is actually very good, at least he helped Emperor Han ascend the throne, and he also made great efforts for Emperor Han.

He never intervenes in the affairs of the court.

Apart from grasping the military power, it seems that Dong Bi didn't do anything too much.

Since when did you dislike Dong Bi?Maybe it started with the crusade against the princes of the Kanto region ten years ago.

The fledgling Xia Houlan was like a blank sheet of paper at that time.

He believes what other people say.Later, he was captured, and even though he surrendered to Liu Bian, he still had a level of hostility towards Dong Bi.And this hostility came very inexplicably. Is it because he can't see Dong Pi, or because he lost to Lu Bu and was captured when he first entered the battle, and he held his breath in his heart?Ha, I really can't tell.

At the beginning, Xia Houlan tried to recruit Zhao Yun Tianyu for Emperor Han, but failed.

Wasn't Xiahou Lansheng angry at that time?To be honest, he was really annoyed, but now that he thinks about it carefully, Zhao Yun grew up with him, why is he unwilling to agree to his request?Tian Yu was also a talent for a while, but why did he give up Emperor Han and follow Dong Bi?Being forced into a hurry, I would rather lead my troops to that barren land than...

Maybe, I was wrong from the beginning!

Scenes from the past emerged in Xia Houlan's mind.

From the beginning with Liu Bian, to later Liu Bian in Anding, in Shuofang...

No matter Liu Bian or Empress Dowager He, Yu Dongpi got along very well.It's just people like myself who are trying their best.

Her head was dizzy, and Xia Houlan felt a little sleepy!
Suddenly, there was a sound of shouting and killing from Beiman Mountain, "Don't let Dong Zejun go, don't let Xiahoulan go!"

A group of people rushed out from the mountain. The leader, with blue eyes and purple beard, was none other than Sun Quan holding a sword.

"Xia Houlan, Sun has been waiting here for a long time!"

At this moment, after a short rest, Xia Houlan's team not only failed to recover, but became even more depressed.Even Xia Houlan herself felt sore all over after sitting there to rest for a while.

He gritted his teeth and got up, but the war horse ran to nowhere.

Seeing Sun Quan leading the troops to kill, Xia Houlan couldn't help closing her eyes, and shouted to herself: "Today, my life is over!"
