However, as soon as the flood came, there were frequent accidents, especially on the issue of whether to save the people of Gangneung, and there were serious differences.

Those Jiangling children who rebelled and soldiers who did not obey orders to save people accounted for the majority, and the Jingzhou army had no intention of fighting at all.

They themselves are already in a mess, and military orders do not work at all.

Seeing this, Liu Bei and Pang Tong had nothing to do, coupled with the great flood, and the navy of the Central Army appeared in Jiangling City again, they didn't care about the final result.

As soon as the flood overflowed the city wall, he urged his men to row a small boat and fled to the east of Jiangling, where Pang Tong had already made contact with the Eastern Wu naval army, and Zhou Yu would lead the army to meet them near Huarong.

There is a connection to Yun Mengze, and when you arrive in Huarong, you will be safe.

Natural and man-made disasters are staged inside Gangneung Fortress, and floods are also raging outside Gangneung Fortress.

Although Lu Bu issued a military order to move in advance, the flood came too quickly, and there were still many officers and men of the Central Army who encountered the flood before they had time to move to a higher place.

Fortunately, before preparing to attack Jingzhou, Lu Bu made it necessary for the soldiers of the whole army to learn to swim, and many soldiers did not understand it at that time, but they were just enforced.

Until the moment of the disaster, the soldiers of the whole army admired Lu Bu's foresight, which also saved many lives.

After receiving Lu Bu's 100,000 urgent military orders, all the ships of the Yangtze River immediately lifted anchor, stayed away from the river bank, and concentrated in the center of the river.

Li Meng was very experienced, he had the boats lined up on the side near the upstream, and the dinghy and Meng Chong were tied to the back of the big boat with ropes.

In accordance with Pang Tong's military order, the Jingzhou army used explosives to blow up the embankment in the upper reaches of Jiangling when the rain was at its heaviest and the water level of the Yangtze River was soaring.

The flood water went straight to Gangneung City from west to east, and the water level downstream immediately dropped a lot, but fortunately, Li Meng had the foresight to keep the deepest draft in the middle of the river and were not affected.

When Lu Bu ordered someone to blow the rallying call, Li Meng understood that Lu Bu was calling himself to save people.

He immediately led all the warships to Jiangling City, the big ships stayed in the waterways of the Yangtze River, the shallow fighting ships and Meng Chong went to the camp outside the city to rescue people, and the small boats such as boats entered Jiangling City to rescue people.

However, after the flood raged, the water level in the city rose, and the building ship had sailed to the edge of Gangneung City, just in time to rescue the soldiers of the Central Army trapped on the city wall.

All the warships of the Central Navy were used to save people, and Liu Bei did not care about the lives of the people of Jiangling City, but the Central Army had strict military discipline and long-term consistent ideological education, and the concept of loving the people like sons was deeply rooted in the hearts of every soldier.

Therefore, the warships of the Central Army saved many people in Gangneung who were still alive, and of course, many soldiers of the Central Army.

Those Jiangling children of the rebellious Jingzhou Army laid down their arms and surrendered one after another, saving people was important, the Central Army did not restrict them, but let them help save people together.

Therefore, the Central Army left an excellent impression in the minds of the people of Jiangling, and also made Jiangling the most friendly area to the Central Army and the most loyal to Lü Bu in the Jiangnan region.

Gangneung has also become one of the most proactive sources of conscription for the Central Army, especially for the Central Navy.

Many of the Central Army soldiers, who were forced to learn to swim, clung to a log or plank, and were able to hold on until the navy's rescue arrived.

When the warships of the Central Navy encountered the boats or rafts of the Jingzhou Army that did not surrender voluntarily on this battlefield, they had no time to take care of them, so it was important to save people, let them fend for themselves.

Many Jingzhou troops are also interested in being far away, and there are really those stubborn Jingzhou troops who dare to take advantage of the water to rob, and the officers and men of the navy are not merciless.

A volley of bullets will always knock down a few, or ram them with your own ship and sink them.

Many people in the Jingzhou Army are landlubbers, and they live on rafts prepared in advance, and if they really fall into the water, they are not as good as ordinary soldiers of the Central Army who can swim!

Zhou Yu did not take advantage of the chaos to attack Jiangling, but patiently waited for the arrival of Liu Bei and Pang Tong in Huarong.

When he saw that Huarong's water level was gradually rising, he knew that Pang Tong had really done that thing!

Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh to the generals of Eastern Wu around him: "The world says that Lu Bu's number one military advisor Jia Xu is a poisoner in a chaotic country, but what Pang Tong has done in the past few years is better than Jia Poison, I think he Pang Shiyuan is more suitable for the title of poisoner." ”

After waiting for a long time, sure enough, some small boats and rafts floated down the river from the direction of Jiangling, and Zhou Yu ordered the boat to meet them.

Sure enough, it was Liu Bei and others, and the main generals of the Jingzhou Army were all together, only Yan Yan was missing.

Zhou Yu invited Liu Bei and the others onto his boat and ordered someone to bring them dry clothes to change.

After Liu Bei and the others finished changing, they sat down together in the cabin.

Zhou Yu admired Pang Tong from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Shiyuan, your plan to flood Jiangling is really unpredictable, you can rescue Xuande Gong and Jingzhou soldiers from the mortal situation, and you have made great contributions!" ”

Pang Tong heard Zhou Yu's praise, but he was colorless, "Brother Gongjin, I'm ashamed of my little brother." As a military advisor in Jingzhou, I could not defeat Lu Bu's army as soon as possible, and put the lord and the whole army in this dangerous situation. ”

"Although I was lucky enough to succeed today, but I fell into the disaster of the people of Jiangling, I feel guilty, the crime is great, what is the merit?"

Although Liu Bei was not satisfied with Pang Tong's poisonous plan, he also knew that there was no other way, he was the best at being a man, but he praised him: "The military advisor does not have to blame himself, it is not easy to escape most of the whole army from a desperate situation, and he can greatly defeat the central army, so why bother yourself!" ”

Zhou Yu didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, what Pang Tong did today hurt Tianhe, and he would be retributed in the future, but it was not his own business, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"You don't have to worry, I have already sent the warship of my Dongwu Navy to Jiangling Zuo to rescue and meet the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army and the people of Jiangling, I think there will be something to gain!"

"This time, Lu Bu's army was suddenly flooded, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties, and I think that this battle of Jingzhou will probably end here."

"Xuande Gong has only lost a county, the foundation is still there, wait for me to show my lord, ask my lord and Cao Gong to lend a helping hand to help Xuande Duke regroup and make a comeback!"

Liu Bei didn't know how much of Zhou Yu's words were true or how much was false, but he just listened to them and expressed his gratitude.

Not to mention how Liu Bei and others celebrated their escape and how they collected the remnants.

However, it was said that outside the flood-stricken Jiangling City, Lu Bu and others, who had moved to a high place, summoned the navy's fighting ships through the sound of trumpets and signal flares, and everyone boarded the boat, which officially declared the escape.

Lu Bu lamented the vicious tactics of Liu Bei, Pang Tong and others, flooding Jiangling, and the Central Army was afraid that it would suffer huge losses this time.

Lu Bu ordered the navy's large and small warships to hurry up and save people, and ignore the boats and rafts of the Jingzhou army who were bent on escaping.
