Chapter 112: Guilt

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what's too late?" Next to him, Zhang Wei asked.

"Zhang Wei, go get the rope immediately, and then use the rope to connect everyone together." Adou said.

"The last will obey."

"I'm all tied up stronger, and if I see what boulders and trees are around, I'll quickly connect them with ropes. In addition, everyone gave me a strong order to tie the rattan armor on my body, and the flood will come in a while. ”

"Big water?" Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what caused the rumbling sound in the distance, Zhang Wei's face suddenly changed greatly, and then ran to give orders.

Looking at the rattan armor soldiers under his command panicking and tying ropes, Adou also felt a trace of apprehension in his heart. Although the rattan armor worn by the rattan armor soldier is extremely buoyant, Adou still feels that there will be great danger to the upcoming flood peak. There is a way that water and fire are ruthless, and in the face of the power of nature, even a person like Adou who is a martial artist is also very small.

The soldiers quickly tied everyone together with ropes, and all their weapons were tied up to join the crowd. The trucks carrying the baggage were all in front, while the soldiers kept the cats behind the trucks to avoid the direct impact of the flood water on the people and squeeze them unconscious.

The land of Yongzhou is loess, the soil is loose, and it is difficult to find some boulders to fix, but the trees are still easy to find, and the rattan armor soldiers use long ropes to connect the human group with some huge trees.

And when the Shu army finished all this, the flood had clearly appeared in everyone's sight.

Hong Feng roared forward, and in the face of the huge waves, his personal abilities seemed so pale and weak.

The surging flood probed the claws of the devil to the Shu army, and at this time, the Shu army was also ready for battle, the soldiers were close together, holding each other's arms, to meet the impact of the flood, some people had closed their eyes and began to pray silently for hunger, while some people opened their eyes wide and looked at the surging water that filled their field of vision in horror.

At this moment, no one flinched, and when faced with danger, human beings instinctively felt that it was safer in a crowded place, and besides, everyone was tied together, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't run.

The water was the first to impact on the baggage carts in the front row, and these baggage carts were also connected by ropes, but they were still washed up by the wave peak, and then, the flood peak several feet high crossed the baggage carts in the front row and swallowed up these vine armor soldiers.

This flood was caused by Zhuge Liang's breaking of the Weishui, when Zhuge Liang broke the embankment, the river water that had accumulated for several days was all rushed out at this moment, so the most powerful flood was this flood peak. Once this flood peak passes, this sharp energy is vented, and the damage caused by the remaining subsequent floods will be limited.

After the flood peak rolled over half a quarter, the strong buoyancy of the rattan armor was finally reflected. A human head suddenly emerged from the water, followed by a second and third human heads, and then the rattan armor soldiers slowly floated up.

This group of vine armor soldiers are all barbarians, and nine out of ten are proficient in water "sex", so this huge flood peak did not cause harm to the vine armor soldiers, and for these men who are proficient in water "sex", it is not very difficult to hold their breath underwater. But there are still a few people who have been heavily poured with water when the flood peak arrives.

Wen Chin is one of them.

Wen Qin is a northerner, and the water is average, so when Hong Feng arrived, he was filled with a stomach of water and almost fainted, but fortunately, everyone was tied together, so after the others floated up, Wen Qin also floated up.

"Wow" Wen Qin squirted out a mouthful of water, and then fell on top of a soldier next to him, and began to cough incessantly. From time to time, there is also water left in the nostrils.

"Wen Qin, it's okay!" Adou asked.

"It's okay, just a few sips of water! Ahem......" Wen Qin said, coughing again.

"Everyone else is alright!" Adou then shouted.

"Someone fainted!" A shout rang out from behind.

"Help!" Adou said, untied the rope tied to his body, jumped on the person next to him with a slight vertical, and then stepped on the person's body and ran towards the sound.

"Smack!" Adou slapped a palm on the back of the fainting soldier, and then, the soldier squirted out a mouthful of water, and gradually turned "sex".

These fainted people were filled with a stomach of water and were temporarily in shock, so Adou only needed to use internal strength to shake out the water in the trachea and let people breathe again, and it would be fine.

This man-made flood comes and goes as fast as it comes. The south bank of Weishui is blocked by the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and the water recedes more slowly, but the north bank of Weishui is a plain, and there is no mountain to block it, so the water will slowly roll northward, and the further east, the smaller the water potential will be, and the speed of the water receding on the north bank of Weishui is also very fast. Although it was still raining heavily, the water began to recede rapidly, and after an hour, the water was back to the waist. The soldiers were able to stand firmly on the ground on their feet.

Soaking in the water is not pleasant at all, not to mention that the water is full of sediment and all kinds of waste. However, the Shu army did not suffer much loss because of this flood, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were injured, there were no casualties.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the water is slowly receding."

"Well, I think the Hu people should be washed away now, give the order, wait until the water recedes and rest for a day, and then immediately cross the Weishui to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Hu people."

After Weishui passes through Xianyang, it will join the Jing River, and after Chang'an, it will join the Yellow River near Tongguan. Because of the addition of the Jing River, the Weishui River near Chang'an is very wide. Chang'an is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, so Weishui near Chang'an is the best. After all, if the Weishui in the Chang'an section is not well managed, it will directly flood the emperor. Coupled with the existence of the Zhengguo Canal, when the flood peak came, most of the flood eventually entered the Weishui River near Chang'an. Chang'an City was not affected too much.

Chang'an City.

The howling cry sounded outside the Yang Palace, waking Liu Bei up from his sleep.

Liu Bei, who was lying on the sickbed, opened his eyes slightly, called his personal attendant, and asked, "Who is crying outside?" ”

"Your Majesty, I'll go and investigate." The chamberlain said and walked outside. After a while, the chamberlain walked in again and said, "Back to Your Majesty, more than a hundred Confucians have gathered at the gate of the palace, and they are crying loudly. ”

"Confucian?" Liu Bei was slightly stunned, and then said, "Help me up." ”

"Your Majesty, your body ......"

"I'm fine, my body is much better." Liu Bei said, helping him to stand up. The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Bei and walked outside.

In front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, more than 100 Confucians were gathering at the gate of the palace, crying and crying.

"Gentlemen, get up first, don't cry here!" Chen Zhi walked back and forth among the Confucian crowd, constantly persuading the Confucians to leave as soon as possible, but none of these Confucians in Chang'an City left.

"Mr. Chen, get up first!"

"Mr. Ma, don't cry......" Chen Zhi's voice kept ringing, but it had no effect.

These Confucians are all famous and status people in Chang'an City, Chen Zhi can't beat and scold, and he doesn't dare to use force to drive away, so he can only persuade with a smile, Chen Zhi is not good at eloquence, and when facing these Confucians, there is no way at all, but the Confucians have nothing to say.

"Chen Dao, what's going on?" Liu Bei's voice came, and Chen Zhi hurriedly walked up to Liu Bei. opened his mouth to report: "Back to Your Majesty, these Confucians want to see you, but Your Majesty, you are sick, so I didn't let these Confucians in, so these Confucians cried here." ”

Liu Bei nodded, then stepped forward and said to Da Ru, "Gentlemen, please be quiet, I have already come." ”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here! ”

"It's really Your Majesty!" A group of big Confucians immediately rushed up and knelt in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is very good at buying people's hearts, and after all, the Han Dynasty has been inherited for four hundred years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so with Liu Bei's means, he was quickly recognized by most people in Chang'an City, and these great Confucians have long recognized Liu Bei's status as the son of heaven.

"Gentlemen, please get up quickly, if you have something to say, speak slowly...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Liu Bei said and coughed again.

"Your Majesty, you want to save the people of Yongzhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please, save our people in Yongzhou."

"Your Majesty, we in Yongzhou have encountered this great disaster......

A group of big Confucians said gossipingly, the scene was "chaotic", and Liu Bei listened to it for a long time and didn't hear a reason.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Liu Bei waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Gentlemen, don't be in a hurry, take your time, and say them one by one." ”

Confucians, look at me, let me look at you, and finally a long-faced Confucian who was over fifty years old stood up, and Liu Bei saw that this person's name was Mada.

The identity of this motor is extraordinary, he is the descendant of the Eastern Han Dynasty Confucian Ma Rong, Ma Rong lived in Chang'an, students all over the world, even the famous master Zheng Xuan worship under Ma Rong's door. Among these great Confucians present, the knowledge of the motor may not be the best, but because there is a powerful ancestor, the identity of the motor is the most respected.

"Mr. Ma, please." Liu Bei said.

"Your Majesty, the flood is coming! What a lot of water! The flood rushed to the Chang'an city wall. ”

"Big water? But the flood? Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the flood! The water came from the west, and I think it was probably the Weishui breach. The river near Chang'an City is wide, but the water still rushed to the front of Chang'an City, so it is calculated that the upper reaches of Weishui may have become a Ze country! The motor spoke.

"How so?" Liu Bei also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.

"Why didn't Shi Yuan tell me about such an important matter, and why didn't the second and third brothers tell me? Chen, hurry! Call Shi Yuan! ”

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong were all called by Liu Bei to Weiyang Palace.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the lead and walked into Weiyang Palace, but Pang Tong stopped in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, and then looked at the group of Confucians gathered in front of the door, secretly called Chen Dao, and asked: "General Chen, what happened here, why are these gentlemen here?" ”

Chen Zhi whispered: "Master Taifu, just now these gentlemen wanted to find Your Majesty, but I stopped them, and as a result, these gentlemen cried here, and finally alarmed Your Majesty." ”

"Then why are they crying?" Pang Tong then asked.

"They said that there was a flood outside, and most of Yongzhou became a flood. Taifu, is this true? ”

"Not good! Your Majesty is going to come to us for this matter. Pang Tong was shocked.

At the earliest, the plan to flood Yongzhou was only known to Pang Tongyi personally, and it was not until it started to rain that Pang Tong told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei about it. And Liu Bei has been on the hospital bed, so Pang Tong did not tell Liu Bei about it. Moreover, Liu Bei is the most kind to the people, if Liu Bei knows about the flooding of Yongzhou, Liu Bei's condition may be aggravated several times.

Thinking of this, Pang Tong immediately rushed to the Weiyang Palace, hoping to confess to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and fool Liu Bei.

But Pang Tong hurried and hurried to catch up, but it was still a step too late. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are more than nine feet tall and one is more than eight feet tall, and they are military generals, so they can walk much faster than Pang Tong. So when Pang Tong arrived, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already told the whole story of the flooding of Yongzhou.

"Second brother, do you mean that you know about the flooding of the Hu people?" Liu Bei's face had turned an iron blue.

"Big brother, if this is not the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve the 300,000 Hu army." Guan Yu replied.

"Oh, second brother, let me say something! The third brother doesn't understand, why don't you understand! If you decide Weishui, you can kill the 300,000 Hu army, but what about the people of Yongzhou? Both sides of the Weishui River in Yongzhou will become a Ze country, which will be destroyed in one fell swoop! cough, cough, cough, cough, cough ......," Liu Bei said excitedly, coughing violently.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu really didn't think about the people's affairs, Guan Yu's eyes are above the top, and he has always regarded human life as a mustard, and water attack is also what Guan Yu is good at. Therefore, Guan Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with using water attack.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, the dragon body is important!" At this time, Pang Tong rushed in from the outside.

"Shiyuan, why don't you stop it?" Liu Bei saw Pang Tong come in and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that after this battle, the vitality of the Hu people will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to make a comeback, and this plan can solve the Hu people's great trouble once and for all." Pang Tong said.

Suddenly, Liu Bei Fa realized something, and then asked, "Shi Yuan, let me ask you, who is the author of this plan?" ”

Pang Tong was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that Liu Bei was likely to notice some problems.

Everyone has their own style, such as Zhuge Liang's stability is as stable as Mount Tai to take precautions, and Pang Tong likes to win surprisingly and interlocking. Since Adou rode into Jingzhou alone, every time he used a strategy, he basically did not leave the slightest way for the enemy to live, and many times even his own retreat was cut off. Basically, as long as Adou's plan fails, there is no way to make a move, but once it succeeds, the results are indeed very brilliant. This is completely different from the style of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. And when Adou was "chaotic" in Runan, he didn't take into account the life and death of the people in Runan, so Liu Bei vaguely guessed that this plan to flood Yongzhou was made by Adou.

"Could it be that Your Majesty guessed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up with this plan? No, you must not let Your Majesty know that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came up with this plan, if you settle accounts after the autumn, it will be troublesome! ”

Thinking of this, Pang Tong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and there is no way for the minister to use this plan, and the minister deserves death!" ”

Pang Tong knelt down as he spoke, taking the matter on himself.

"Is it really your plan?" Liu Bei asked with a glare.

"It's a minister, and the minister deserves death!" Pang Tong immediately admitted.

"Hey, it's good that it's not Adou, it's good that it's not Adou! In this world, I handed it over to him, and I was relieved......" Liu Bei said here, and suddenly fell.
