Chapter 159: Flooding of Pi
Xun You hinted at me that I didn't want to dump the pot, probably considering that I had just violated the lockdown order. Lao Cao doesn't seem to have the intention of pursuing it now, but if he doesn't know how to settle accounts in the future, if I come to offer advice, it can be regarded as atonement in disguise.
"Lao Cao—" I opened my mouth to break the awkward silence, "There is a plan..." Lao Cao turned around and stared at me. "Break the embankment of Yishui and Surabaya, and the water will flood the Pi. As these words came out of my mouth, I heard a real demonic roar in my ears.
Cao Cao is quite smart, and he can fully understand what I mean when I say this. Although the city of Xiapi is strong, it can block people but can't stop the water, and the terrain of Xiapi is low, and there are many surrounding waters, so it is a good strategy to attack the city with water, and it is also a desperate policy.
Because when the icy river water poured into the city, it was not only Lu Bu's army that was crushed, but also tens of thousands of people in Xiapi!
"Okay..."Lao Cao thought quietly for a while and then said, "Guo Jia, Xun You, I will give you ten thousand people, and I will solve this matter as soon as possible." "Old... My lord," I changed my tone, "is this matter decided a little hastily?
"Needless to say..."Lao Cao stroked his forehead, obviously the headache had flared up again. "I don't have time! Yuan Shao returned to Ye after a great victory, and the army was very powerful, but we were pinned down in Xuzhou by Lu Bu, so Xuchang was empty, and the rear of our army was very dangerous! Moreover, the lives of the people are fate, and the lives of our soldiers are also fate! If we want to storm it, how many families in the Central Plains will want white-haired people to send black-haired people!"
"Besides, don't put pressure on you, I gave the order, and all the sins are on me. He raised his head, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "Just let the world scold me as much as they want!
The next day, the entire Cao camp seemed to change in an instant, with strict military discipline and each performing its own duties. Lao Cao is indeed a successful leader, he will give his subordinates time to indulge, but he can also pull everything back on track at any time.
Although it is not easy to break ground in winter, with the unremitting efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers, we dug the ditch in only three days, and when the embankment is broken, Xiapicheng will take a cold shower, and at this time Lu Bujun did not know at all, thinking that Cao Cao's army was about to run out of food and had to withdraw, but he did not know that the catastrophe was coming.
It was night, Lao Cao's order had been delivered, and everyone was waiting for me to speak, open the embankment and release the water. I raised my hand, ready to give the order, but for some reason, I just couldn't say a word. "It must have been so cold that it froze my mouth. I thought with a wry smile.
"Think clearly, how many innocent people will struggle in this icy river when you give the order. A cold voice sounded, and I realized that it was not the voice in my head, and immediately turned around and met Ke Jue's eyes.
"Ke Jue..."I want to say something, but Guo Jia, who has always been able to speak well, is dumb. "You have betrayed my trust. I could see the struggle in her eyes, although her face was full of coldness, "You and Cao Cao are the same dog, the life and death of the people of Li are not in your layout, what you want is your own hegemony!"
My raised hand froze in mid-air with some embarrassment. I wanted to refute Kejue's words, but even if I could convince her, I wouldn't be able to convince myself. What is I doing all this for? Is this really my original intention?
I think back to the days when I used to drink and talk nonsense with Xiyun and Xun Yu, at that time I was looking forward to the feeling of being admired by thousands of people now, but now I just want to escape back to the past.
Unfortunately, I can't go back.
"Guo Jia, you don't fucking point fingers here, I'm a military advisor, I'm your superior! You take care of your daughter-in-law for me, and then get out!" Xun You roared, "All departments listen to my orders and open the gates!" Although Xun You's tone was vicious, I could understand that he was helping me. If I don't give an order, I will delay the military plane, Lao Cao... No... Cao Cao won't let me go, but if I give the order, I'll probably lose Kejue forever. Changsha
"You..." Ke Jue was furious, and pulled out the Qingyu sword he was carrying, and wanted to slash at Xun You in front of everyone. "No," I hugged her, "You can't change it, none of us can change it...", as if sensing my weakness, her body gradually softened, no longer like a stretched bowstring.
At this time, the soldiers who stayed here were the personal soldiers of Xun You and me, and the dead soldiers trained by the Guo family and the Xun family respectively. They are very discerning, and they don't care about what happens between us big people, they just work quietly. After a while, a murky stream of water splashed out of the dirt gap, gradually scouring out larger holes. Finally, the pouring flood roared past us, and in a short time we heard the mourning of the city of Xiapi.
I closed my eyes and whispered in Ke Jue's ear: "This is the first time I have poisoned him, and it must be the last..."
"What I want to hear is that you won't give that tyrant any more advice..."
As soon as my arms were loosened, I hurriedly opened my eyes, only to find that Kejue in my arms had disappeared. "Huh?" I was a little confused. "Su Ling, don't be in a daze!" I heard Ke Hui's roar, "I can't stand it!
I blinked, and my eyes were clear again. In front of me was a wooden embankment that blocked the boiling river. The surrounding people were fighting, there were Cao Cao's army, there was Lu Bu's army, and the most striking thing was that Ke Hui was fighting with Zhang Liao, and he was already at a disadvantage.
"It's... Where?" I asked, "I was... Didn't you fall asleep on the Arrow Tower?How did you get here?""Are you catching a dream?" Liu Wei rushed behind me first, leaving an afterimage, and on his left hand was wearing a soldier of the Lu Bu Army, who was about to sneak attack me from behind just now. "If we don't open the water gate again, we will be wiped out!" Ling Xiyue also roared.
I don't know exactly what happened, but I think they have a point. I grabbed the lever and was about to push, but a human wail sounded in my ears.
I froze for a moment, then shook my head and threw the mess out of my head. "What the hell am I struggling with. I muttered while pushing the lever. The floodgates were raised, and the waves roared towards Xiapi, which was in a low-lying area. "It's just a trial, and if you think about it so much, you're going to become a. ”
I summoned out the Taiping Technique and went to sweep the formation. "Damn!" Zhang Liao saw that he could no longer prevent Xiapi from being flooded, and after scolding, he slapped his horse and retreated, and our pressure was suddenly much lighter. "Did I behave strangely just now?" I asked Kehui in a whisper. "Is it strange that you have been studying the principle of a lever for two minutes?" said Ke Hui sarcastically, the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
"No, I mean before that. "I'm very serious," I seem, as if I had lost the memory of the time I had just gone. Or rather, I didn't do those actions myself..."
Ke Hui was stunned for a moment and said, "Indeed, the feeling you gave me just now is really not quite like yourself." You don't have such a romantic and confident personality in your daily life, you just now, it's like, 'In this world, who else can I be'. ”
I fell silent, and used my dark energy to push away the soldiers of the Lu Bu Army who rushed over, a question I can't answer right now. "After this trial, we have to talk. Ke Hui's attitude was unprecedentedly serious, "I haven't told you anything about it." ”
"What's wrong, I'm going to be a daddy?" I grinned a smile, "stop talking nonsense. Ke Hui rolled his eyes and pinched me hard, "Seriously." ”
After repelling Zhang Liao, who came to harass him, we took a short rest at the Water Gate, and I learned that during the time of my fugue, the plot had pushed Xiahou to pull out the arrows and capture the Water Gate, and these processes had entered the final stage, and the water was flooded. In this situation, Cao's army was about to launch a general offensive to completely eliminate the forces of Lü Bu entrenched in the city.
After we finished resting, we followed Cao Cao's army to the city wall by pontoon boat. Under the action of the icy river, Lü Bufang was overwhelmed, and Cao Cao's side captured the city wall without much effort. The moment we climbed the city wall, we received another side quest.
