Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 636 Why did you send a stupid pig?

In Wancheng, Hou Yin and Wei Kai didn't know why they were so confused, they were deceived by Nanyang Gong Cao Zongziqing, and released the prefect Dong Ligun.That day Zong Ziqing fled by jumping into the city in the middle of the night, and joined forces with Dong Ligun to recruit militiamen to besiege Hou Yin and send someone to report to Cao Ren.

Hearing the news, Cao Ren led the army to hurry over from Fancheng. Hearing that Cao Ren had arrived in person, Hou Yin and Wei Kai's men immediately dispersed half of them. How could they be Cao Ren's opponents? Beheaded, the rebellion failed.Cao Ren reassigned Li Ji and Zong Ziqing to guard Wancheng, the prefect Dongli Gun went to assist Zhu Ling, and led the army back to Fancheng.

As soon as Dong Ligun arrived at Zhu Ling's camp, he was startled: "Why did the general camp here? The terrain here is low and flat, isn't the general afraid of stagnant water?"

Zhu Ling pretended to be mysterious and said: "This is my plan, and I can't break him without this plan."

"Forgive me for being stupid, please tell the general clearly."

"Guan Yu is brave enough to win the three armies. I will fight against him in the rain. No matter how brave Guan Yu is, he will be useless!"

Having lived in Nanyang for a long time, Dongli Gun had a deep understanding of geography. He was terrified when he heard Zhu Ling's words: "The general made a mistake. This place is close to the Han River and the Xiang River, and it is also the place where the old Han River flows. It has been raining heavily recently. The river is bound to rise sharply, and once the water overflows the embankment, it will invade the old road, and our army will be in danger!"

"That's not the case." Zhu Ling asked doubtfully.Zhu Ling was originally from Jizhou, and he had always fought in the north. He also fought in Xuzhou and the northwest, but he never felt the severity of the flood in the south. "Since the county guard said so, tomorrow I will move all the troops to higher places."

The unlucky Zhu Ling was doomed to die like this.When the heavy rain poured down that night, the Han River finally couldn't bear such a large amount of water. The flood flowed along the low-lying area of ​​the Han River's old river bed in three ways to the area of ​​Lukouchuan, Jizhangang, Yujiagang and Tuanshanpu. Tanghe, The water from flash floods in the Baihe River, Xiaoqing River, Putuogou, Huanglonggou, Heilonggou and other places in the northwest made the horizontal land in the areas of Lukouchuan, Jizhangang, Yujiagang and Tuanshanpu five or six feet deep. Poor Zhu Ling's seven armies were all submerged in the flood.

Fortunately, for the convenience of command, Zhu Ling built his Chinese military tent at a high place, and Dong Ligun moved to the highest point that night.

In the face of natural disasters, any struggle is futile. The raging flood swept away everything. There were only a few sporadic Cao troops gathered on a few high grounds. A dumbass.

Zhu Ling and Dong Ligun were standing on different hills, but their faces were equally pale. The [-] army and countless luggage disappeared like this?The corpses that were not washed away were floating on the water, and Cao Jun, who survived hugging the tree, was shouting for help. Zhu Ling couldn't believe his eyes.

He suddenly looked forward to it again, hoping that Guan Yu would be flooded by the flood just like himself, or even worse than himself.

Too many lives were taken away, God seemed to be moved with compassion, maybe it felt that it had been raining for too long, the next day the rain began to decrease, and the two of them just stood there for a day and two nights, forgetting their hunger and thirst , There was a blank in my mind.

On August 26, the rain finally stopped.Cao Jun, who was still alive after the catastrophe, was not grateful that he escaped the catastrophe. Guan Yu dispatched the warships he had prepared long ago, and sailed from all directions to surround the small highlands. Cao Jun who tried to resist was shot and killed, and Zhu Ling and Dong Ligun were captured. .The two met each other tightly, and looked at each other. There was no more words, only dejected.Zhu Ling didn't think about why he didn't listen to Dong Ligun's advice, and Dong Ligun didn't complain about Zhu Ling. Both of them were wondering how Guan Yu would deal with him, would he kill him?Dongli Gun made up his mind that he would never surrender, while Zhu Ling thought that if Guan Yu treated him like a guest, he could consider surrendering.

Guan Yu and Zhu Ling had deep grievances. Guan Yu was squeezed out by Zhu Ling when he entered Cao Ying. Only Zhang Liao, who was in the same situation as him, could say a few words, so he never saw Zhu Ling at all. Dagon was escorted back to Xiangyang and handed over to Ma Liang for detention.Guan Yu, who was careless, missed the opportunity to inquire about the news of Wancheng. He still mistakenly thought that Nanyang was in chaos.

Guan Yunchang became famous for flooding the Seventh Army, and Jingzhou was shaken.And Guan Yu even thought that now his subordinates were as powerful as a rainbow, Cao Jun was frightened, Nanyang was in chaos, Fancheng was flooded and damaged, and it was time to take revenge on Cao Ren, so he ordered his troops to surround Fancheng!

Cao Ren also had a hard life in Fancheng. He originally had nearly [-] men, but thousands were lost when he went to Xiangyang, and thousands were left for Li Ji to guard Wancheng, leaving only [-] men.A flood almost submerged Fancheng, and the Cao army in the city was not spared. Thousands were drowned, thousands were sick, and there were only ten thousand people who could fight.

He sent people out by boat to inquire about Zhu Ling's situation. When he learned that the Seventh Army was gone and Zhu Ling was captured, he scolded Zhu Ling for being stupid. "Brother, brother, even if you can't send me a general, you should pick a dog. Why did you send a stupid pig?"

Man Chong sighed softly, no matter how Zhu Ling is also a general under Cao Cao, it is not good to evaluate Zhu Ling like this, and Cao Cao's face is not good. "General Zhu Ling was taken by Guan Yu accidentally because he didn't know geography."

"General, the city was flooded and the city was damaged, and there were countless casualties. What should we do?" Li Xu asked.

"I expect Guan Yu will come to attack the city. Fancheng is no longer defendable. It is better to abandon Fancheng and defend Wancheng." Cao Ren sighed helplessly.

"Absolutely not!" Man Chong strongly objected. "Guan Yu's morale is high. Fancheng is the fortress of Xudu. Abandoning Fancheng is not good for our army. Only by defending Fancheng can Xudu be stabilized. The king of Wei entrusted this important place to the general, how can he give up?"

"Defend? How to defend?" Cao Ren said angrily.

"It is true that the city was flooded, but it is difficult for Guan Yu to enter the city. He can only attack the city by boat. How can he break the city? The general loves the people like his son, and the soldiers are willing to fight to the death. Why are you afraid of Guan Yu? The rainy season is coming. The flood will also withdraw, the general can send someone to ask the king of Wei for help, choose a general to join me inside and outside, and we can defeat Guan Yu!"

After Cao Ren heard this, his confidence doubled.Niu Jin and Li Xuqi cupped their hands and said, "We are willing to obey the general's order and fight Guan Yu to the death, and live and die with Fancheng!"

Cao Ren was overjoyed and sent someone to ask Cao Cao for help immediately.

"Bo Ning, you immediately collect food and grass in the city, and supply according to the amount every day, and appease the hearts of the soldiers and civilians, and treat the sick!"

"Li Xu, you lead people to demolish the houses in the city, repair the city walls, and block the city gates. There must be no omissions!" Sealing the city gates and leaving no gaps in the city walls, how can warships attack the city?Ladders on warships?joke!

"Niu Jin, you collect arrows and weapons, recruit young men to defend the city, and make daily patrols without any mistakes! Also collect fire starters, as warships approach, and burn them with fire." Without ladders, Guan Yu might have used ropes, Cutting with a knife and burning with fire is enough to defend.
