Obviously, the current Xiapi City has no value in defending.

Xiahou Yuan kept beating the city wall, and he felt sorry for Cao Cao and the soldiers who were flooded. If he had been less proud and had been able to perceive the enemy's intentions in advance, none of this would have happened.

"Miaocai, let's retreat." After Cao Hong calmed down, he immediately said to Xiahou Yuan.

"Withdraw!" Xiahou Yuan knew that he couldn't continue like this, and he still had to preside over the overall situation.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong hurriedly ordered Cao Jun to rescue the soldiers who had fallen into the water, so that they would not drown. It's a pity that there are too many Cao Jun who fell into the water, and they can't save so much at all. Some Cao Jun, who understands water, is a little better, constantly patting the water to prevent himself from sinking, and the fate of the landlubber is tragic, if you are lucky, you can only sink to the bottom of the water.

Cao Jun is like this, the people are even more miserable, they used to stay in their houses to escape the war, but now that the flood has come, they don't even have a chance to escape, and many people living in low-lying places are drowned.

The flood doesn't care if you're rich or poor.

When Cao Jun was saving his colleagues, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun led their troops to kill them on a makeshift raft, and they would not wait for the flood waters to recede before starting the attack.

The number of Liu Jun was small, but it became a straw that broke the camel's back, and the hearts of many Cao soldiers collapsed. Some began to flee aimlessly, while others simply threw down their weapons and were not ready to resist.

Cao Jun's morale was already in chaos.

Xiahou Yuan would not let Guan Yu and Zhao Yun be arrogant, he was ready to fight Guan Yu and Zhao Yun to the death. Cao Hong stopped him. Just kidding, Cao Hong still has a great life to continue, if Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu and Zhao Yun fight to the end, then he Cao Hong will not be able to leave here. There is no hope of victory, and there is only a dead end to stay, and this is not a good deal. Cao Hong's good words made Xiahou Yuan accept his suggestion and lead the remnants to move in the direction of Xiaopei or Yanzhou.

It was really a remnant, and the elite tiger and leopard riders brought by Xiahou Yuan were all killed and wounded. Xiahou Yuan didn't know how to explain to Cao Cao.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong stood on the few rafts and looked sadly at the flooded Xiapi City.

After Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong left Xiapi, the left Cao Jun were all like ashes, and they all threw down their weapons and did not resist.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun accepted it when they saw it, and began to rescue Cao Jun who was soaked in the water. The people are also the targets of Liu Jun's rescue, anyway, the task of the entire Liu Army now is to rescue.

The heavy rain slowly stopped, and the clear sky had already appeared blue, but there were countless corpses floating in Xiapi City, which made people feel a chill.

Although Liu Jun tried his best to rescue, they could not save too much, and many Cao soldiers and civilians struggled in the water and finally sank into the water.

Guan Yu looked at this scene and said bitterly: "I, Guan Yu, am ashamed of the people of Xiapi. ”

Guo Tu hurriedly persuaded: "General Guan, the plan of water attack is helpless. The key is that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong are too stubborn, otherwise our army would not have used such a vicious strategy. ”

Having said that, Guan Yu still blamed himself.

Hou Cheng has re-plugged the embankment he had dug earlier, and the water level has slowly dropped. It took one day for the flood waters in Xiapi City to recede completely.

All the corpses floating in the water fell to the ground, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun immediately arranged for people to clean up the corpses, in case the corpses decomposed, it would cause a huge plague, and more people would die at that time.

The surrendered Cao army and the surviving civilians were Liu Jun's best coolies, and Guo Tu asked them to help clean up the corpses and move them all to the outside of the city for burning and burial.

The surrendered Cao army and the surviving people did not have a trace of resistance, under the steel knife of the other party, all resistance was in vain, it was better to save their lives and go back to see their families.

Many Cao Jun experienced this battle and saw through it, what battlefield soldiers, meritorious achievements, as long as a big flood, no matter how strong the people will be crushed, they decided to take off their armor and go home to farm, that kind of day is better than the battlefield to fight peacefully.

The clean-up work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Guan Yu and several other generals of the Liu Army were patrolling Xiapi City. At this time, a scout reported that Sun Ce had led the army to a place fifty miles away from Xiapi City.

"This Sun Ce really knows how to choose the time, and he will come after we are all done!" Hou Cheng said resentfully.

Zhao Yun asked Guo Tu, "Strategist, what do you think Sun Ce means this time?" ”

Guo Tu sneered: "What else can it mean." Don't you just want to pick peaches! ”

Sun Ce was going to pick peaches, and Guan Yu and the others were very angry. Guan Yu snorted coldly: "The whole army is on alert, let's go out of the city and meet that little overlord for a while!" ”

The entire Liu army, led by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, was murderously arrayed outside Xiapi City and waited for Sun Ce's troops.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were originally active in the southern part of Xuzhou, constantly suppressing the resistance forces in the territory they occupied. They believed that Cao Jun and Liu Jun would definitely fight each other in Xiapi City, and Liu Jun would spend huge manpower and material resources to break through Xiapi City.

Zhou Yu, as Sun Ce's military division, made a bold calculation and waited for General Cao Liu to be defeated and wounded, when Sun Ce's army suddenly attacked and took Xuzhou in one fell swoop by reversing the bead curtain.

Such a bold plan was agreed to by Sun Ce, who was equally bold.

It's just that when Liu Jun dug up the embankment of the Surabaya River and diverted water to irrigate Picheng, when the news reached the ears of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, both of them were shocked.

The two of them couldn't wait to lead their troops to Xiapi. But their troops were scattered, and it was not so easy to concentrate. But if they don't march immediately, then everything in Xiapi City belongs to Liu Jun, and they won't get a dime.

In the end, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could only lead a few thousand soldiers and horses.

Zhou Yu thought that his side had sent troops to Pi a few times before, and he would be able to pick out something from Liu Jun's hands.

When Sun Ce's troops were about to come to Xiapi City, they saw Guan Yu and Zhao Yun waiting outside the city in a murderous manner.

Zhou Yu thought to himself that this time might not be so optimistic.

"Stop!" Guan Yu exuded a monstrous murderous aura and shouted loudly.

Sun Ce's troops were frightened by this murderous aura and all stopped advancing.

Sun Ce was also suppressed by Guan Yu's murderous aura, how many people do you have to kill to have such a murderous aura.

Sun Ce was secretly furious, his troops were actually suppressed by Guan Yu's murderous aura.

Zhou Yu was not like Sun Ce, he forcibly calmed the fear in his heart, and said to Guan Yu and the others with a smile: "General Guan is polite to all the generals. ”

The other party was a literati, and Guo Tu, as a literati, also stood up and said with a smile: "I don't know why General Sun and Zhou Dudu are bringing troops here at this moment?" ”

"My lord General Sun came to fulfill the promise of a joint attack on Xiapi this time, but I didn't expect that the generals have already taken Xiapi, which is really gratifying." Zhou Yu said casually.

"General Sun is benevolent and righteous, and I admire it. It's just that Picheng has been captured now, so I don't bother General Sun to mobilize the people. General Sun and Zhou Dudu, please go back. Guo Tu sneered in his heart, and only now did he remember the promise of the union, why did he go earlier.

"Guo Junshi, our army is tired from afar, can you let our soldiers enter Xiapi to rest for two days." Zhou Yu didn't seem to hear Guo Tu's words.

Of course, Guo Tu knew what Zhou Yu's thoughts were, and he didn't enter Xiapi City just to get a piece of the pie, he couldn't agree to this kind of thing.

"Oops, I'm sorry. The city of Xiapi had just experienced a flood, and there were a large number of dead bodies in the city, and they were filthy and messy, and the slightest carelessness could cause a plague. For the sake of the well-being of your soldiers, General Sun and Zhou Dudu should go back first. Guo Tu directly refused.

Sun Ce said angrily: "Doesn't Guo Junshi understand the trust between allies? ”

"Trust?! What a trust! I don't know which person said it in advance, but he didn't say anything. When the matter is over, there are brazen people who come to pick peaches. Hou Cheng said sarcastically.

After not being sarcastically ridiculed by others, I will feel comfortable. Sun Ce was a short-tempered guy, and he was furious on the spot, shouting: "You dare! ”

"How are you doing?" Hou Cheng pulled out his weapon.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun kept staring at Sun Ce, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of Liu Jun were clenched, and they started fighting if they disagreed.

Seeing that there was friction, Zhou Yu walked up to Sun Ce and said to Guan Yu and the others: "Since you don't need my lord's help, my lord will naturally understand. I hope you will know the sincerity of my Lord. ”

The other party was convinced, and Guo Tu smiled. Just a few thousand soldiers and horses dare to come, and in the entire history of China, only the overlord Xiang Yu has this ability, and you, Sun Ce, are just a "little overlord".

"General Sun's sincerity has been experienced by us. Please also ask General Sun to go back. Guo Tu smiled.

"Farewell!" Zhou Yu pulled Sun Ce and left.

"No more!" Guo Tu, Guan Yu and others said in unison.

Sun Ce was angry, and this time he was embarrassed.

After returning to the place he occupied, Sun Ce said angrily to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, Guan Yu and others are too deceitful! ”

Zhou Yu comforted softly: "Bo Fu, this world is all about strength. At the moment, our strength is not enough, and when we absorb the essence of southern Xuzhou, even Liu Yu will have to let me wait for three points. ”

Sun Ce's anger slowly subsided, and he said unwillingly: "It's a pity that Gongjin, your plan fell through like this. ”

"There will definitely be change, but we have already achieved our set goals, so the next thing is to change. Liu Yu's house will not let us live a stable life in Xuzhou. Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce nodded, he didn't believe that Liu Yu would be so generous to give him such a big piece of fat in southern Xuzhou.

"Command the whole army to keep an eye on the dynamics in the north." Sun Ce's immediate order.

Of course, Liu Yu will not be so generous, he ceded the southern part of Xuzhou to Sun Ce, because the fact that Sun Ce led the army into Xuzhou could not be changed, and at the same time, Liu Yu's main enemy was the Cao army entrenched in Xiapi, in order to avoid fighting on both sides, Liu Yu would choose to give up the southern part of Xuzhou to Sun Ce.

Liu Yu knew about raising tigers and had already made preparations. The elite of the "Shadow Department" has entered Sun Ce's occupation and has begun to arrange all kinds of secret hands to ensure that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will fall into the mud.

At this moment, a "dark department" team has lurked in Guangling County.

Their target is Zhao Yu, who is under house arrest in Guangling County, not to save him, but to kill him.

How can you make the people in the territory occupied by Sun Ce angry, then there is only one way, and that is to make Zhao Yu, who has won the hearts of the people, think that the world is dead in the hands of Sun Ce.

Liu Yu knew that Zhao Yu's reputation and ability were good, and it was a pity to kill him. But now that Zhao Yu has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, Sun Ce did not kill him, but also to avoid civil unrest in the occupied area, and at the same time, it also had the effect of winning people's hearts.

In this case, Emperor Shenwu Liu Yu could only endure the pain and sacrifice Zhao Yu, a rare good official.

Before the overall situation of dominating the world, any talent can be sacrificed, and it is a big deal to be kind to his descendants in the future. At least that's what Liu Yu thought.

Zhao Yu didn't know that his end had come, and at this moment he was lamenting the country and the people in the residence arranged by Sun Ce.

Several "shadow" spies disguised themselves as Sun Ce's soldiers rushed into the residence with a swagger, and the guards tried to stop them, but these spies crackled and slapped the guards a few times, and then took out the forged Sun Ce's warrant.

These soldiers were stunned, and when they saw Sun Ce's warrant, they didn't dare to stop them anymore.

So these "shadow" spies successfully entered the residence of Zhao Yu under house arrest, dragged Zhao Yu, who was still lamenting, out and threw him on the street.

The people on the street all knew Zhao Yu, and when they saw such a situation, they all watched, and they faintly guessed what was going on, and they were worried about Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu guessed that Sun Ce might want to do something to himself, and scolded Sun Ce with a righteous attitude.

Several "shadow" spies admired Zhao Yu in their hearts, but their task was to kill him, so no matter how much they admired, the steel knife in this hand could not help but cut down.

With the knife in hand, Zhao Yu was killed on the street.

The people were indignant, Zhao Yu was such a benevolent and virtuous official was killed, but they were all favored by Zhao Yu, and they caused a riot on the spot.

Sun Ce's troops were also alarmed and hurried over to maintain order.

And the spies of the "dark department" took advantage of the chaos to leave the scene and disappeared without a trace.

It didn't take long for the rioters to be suppressed, and many people died at the hands of Sun Ce's soldiers.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rushed over when they heard the news, Zhao Yu was already too dead to die anymore.

Zhao Yu had a huge effect on Sun Ce, and Sun Ce hurriedly asked what was going on. The soldiers in charge of guarding Zhao Yu said that it was Sun Ce's own intention, and they saw Sun Ce's warrant before they let the people sent by Sun Ce enter the residence.

Sun Ce was shocked, he didn't issue any warrant about this matter, it seemed that someone else had forged it.

Zhou Yu secretly said that it was not good, this must have been done by Liu Yu.
