The big waves come and go fast, now after all, it is the dry period, the flow of the Yangtze River is still relatively gentle, if it is summer, it will not work, the upstream flood is rushing down, if there is a loophole, I am afraid that most of the entire Runzhou will be flooded, but even so, after the flood recedes, the original powerful Xu army camp can no longer find a trace.

There were only a few of the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Xu Army, and these people were all sitting on the side at this time, looking at the scene after the flood with blank faces.

"Lang Jun, this ...... This, what is going on, why the Yangtze River suddenly has big waves, or at the most critical time. ”

The arrival of the flood can be regarded as a complete relief from the plight of Duan Jian and others, Xu Jun suffered a great disaster, not to mention continuing to look for them at this time, just the remaining people, I am afraid that Duan Jian will take the opportunity to attack them, not that this flood has annihilated more than 100,000 Xu troops, but this flood has completely disrupted the establishment of the Xu army.

The reason why the army is different from the bandits is that the army is a disciplined force, while the bandits are extremely scattered, without discipline and establishment, which means that they are a rabble, compared with the regular army, no matter how many rabbles are not the opponent of the regular army, which is why in history the peasant uprisings are often more than 100,000, hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, but they are defeated by thousands or even tens of thousands of troops.

"How would I know, maybe God can't bear to let us suffer, so he arranged such a natural disaster to let us survive in a desperate situation." Hearing the inquiry, Duan Jian shook his head and said, but the glimmer of essence that flashed in his eyes invisibly revealed his heart, proving that he was definitely not as ignorant of this matter as he said.

Similarly, with the same expression as Duan Jian, Zhou Xing beside him, this cool official in history, although this life has changed a lot because of Duan Jian, but the cold character that emanates from the bottom of his heart makes him different.

Fortunately, although the moon in the sky was relatively bright, it was night after all, and everyone didn't pay too much attention to Duan Jian and Zhou Xing's expressions because of the scene in front of them.

"It is indeed the favor of God, otherwise, why don't you make waves in the morning, and don't make waves in the evening, but when the soldiers of the Xu Army were about to discover us, a big wave rose, which not only saved our lives, but also severely damaged the Xu Army, it seems that God wants to destroy Xu Jingye These traitors!" Wen Yurong and the others on the side also sighed after hearing this.

"Okay, don't sigh here, now that the Xu army's military formation has been washed away by the waves, it is the time for us to pursue the victory, now order all the soldiers to go all out to pursue the Xu army's soldiers, especially Xu Jingye and others, if they encounter him, they must not let him go."

Duan Jian gave an order, and everyone happily took the order, although this battle is thanks to the will of heaven, but this is also a victory, and the court will definitely reward them at that time, and at this time, if they catch enough Xu Jun soldiers, and even if Xu Jingye is also caught, their contribution will be even greater.

After watching everyone around him dodge and leave, Duan Jian suddenly said thoughtlessly, "How about it, have the follow-up work been done, and is there any future trouble?" ”

If it were someone else, he would definitely be extremely confused when he heard Duan Jian's inexplicable words, but Zhou Xing replied very simply, "Back to Langjun, the follow-up work has been completed, and one of his subordinates is from a river worker, and he will definitely not be discovered if he handles the aftermath, even if it is an experienced craftsman who conducts an investigation, he will only think that there is a hole in the embankment, so that there will be a flood outflow." ”

Hearing Zhou Xing's answer, Duan Jian nodded and said, "That's good, although this matter is to annihilate the enemy's so-called, even if the court knows, it won't say anything, but there are too many enemies of so-and-so, after they know, they will inevitably be used by them as a handle for so-and-so, and frame so-and-so, in that case, so-and-so's reputation will be completely stinky, and at that time, even if a certain establishes more merits, the court will not be reused for a certain one." ”

Listening to Duan Jian's words that seemed to be an explanation, and like a self-whitening words, Zhou Xing had no expression, but in his heart he still thought that Duan Jian was a little excessive, of course, it was not that he was dissatisfied with Duan Jian, to be honest, if at the beginning, he was a little forced to submit to Duan Jian, with this period of contact, he felt more and more that following Duan Jian was the most correct thing.

Whether it is Duan Jian's knowledge or Duan Jian's way of doing things, he feels admired from the bottom of his heart, and he has learned a lot of things, the only thing that makes him a little dissatisfied with Duan Jian is that Duan Jian is extremely clever in terms of ability and means, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, he cherishes his reputation very much, and he will not do anything that damages his reputation.

Just like this battle, before the war, in order to ensure the foolproofness of this battle, Duan Jian secretly summoned him over and asked him to send people to prepare in advance next to the Yangtze River embankment, and dug half of the dam, as long as it was needed, the Yangtze River dam could be dug up in a very short time, so that the Yangtze River flooded.

Originally, there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, after all, in the war, in order to achieve the goal, all kinds of means were used to the extreme, this kind of thing of releasing water to attack the enemy, too many generals have done it throughout the ages, but Duan Jian let him do things secretly for the sake of his reputation, and let him do the aftermath afterwards.

Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Zhou Xing still followed Duan Jian's instructions and did everything very cleanly, which also made Duan Jian extremely satisfied with him.

................................

Sitting on the boat, looking at the crowds on the other side, an extremely lively scene, Xu Jingye and some other high-level Xu Jun officials, their faces were full of chagrin and sadness.

From a month ago, after Xu Jingye officially pulled the flag and rebelled in Yangzhou, the Xu army can be described as smooth sailing and rapid development, but since the southward dispatch, Xu Jun's good luck seems to have run out, first in Runzhou City one after another suffered big losses, although there was no loss of many soldiers, but the morale of the soldiers was extremely low.

In addition to the Tang army's pressure on the territory, Yangzhou City is not in danger, the pessimism of the Xu army is extremely serious, this extermination of Duan Jian, but also Xu Jingye to improve the morale of the Xu army, they think very well, if this time successfully exterminate Duan Jian, you can raise the morale of the Xu army, in this way, after crossing the river to the north, they can also have the strength to fight in the face of the Tang army.

But now, no one thought about it, and they were about to catch Duan Jian and the others, but God suddenly came to a big flood, not only did they lose their efforts to arrest Duan Jian, but they also lost more than 100,000 Xu troops, and at this moment, the soldiers of the Xu Army who could be on the boat were probably only more than 10,000 people, compared with the previous more than 100,000 people, not even one-tenth.

Except for those who were swallowed up by the flood and died when the flood came, most of the rest were scattered, and the lively scene on the other side was the scene where Duan Jian and others searched for the soldiers of the Xu army with torches.

"Ah, no, no, Grand Duke, our army is like this now, you must not have an accident, or we may only have a dead end."

Just as everyone was looking at the scene on the other side of the river, a roar sounded from behind the boat.

Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and saw that Luo Bingwang was struggling to hug Xu Jingye, who was constantly struggling to jump into the river, shouting loudly.

It turned out that when the big wave came, Xu Jingye was like a fool, motionless and stunned, and then he was taken to the high ground by the guards, avoiding the flood, and then when the flood receded, the guards took him on the ferry, in the middle, he was motionless, just now, I don't know how, he suddenly sobered up, and when everyone was not paying attention, he wanted to jump into the surging Yangtze River, fortunately, Luo Bingwang, who was sitting next to him, was quick to see Xu Jingye's appearance, hurriedly hugged him, so as to avoid his move of jumping into the river.

"Let go, let go of so-and-so, so far, what face does so-and-so have to face the Jiangdong fathers, you all trust Yu so much, and want to let so-and-so take you to expel the demon woman and return to the Son of Heaven, but so-and-so has been defeated repeatedly, and now more than 100,000 troops will be destroyed in one day, so, what face does so-and-so have to live in the world, you still let so-and-so die, if you die, it will be a hundred." Xu Jingye, who was hugged by King Luo Bin, shouted with tears streaming down his face.

Now Xu Jingye is bent on death, he has been a family since he was a child, he has always been a superior existence, when he grows up, he is not like other gentlemen, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, but working hard, learning the art of war, and going to the border army for actual combat.

In his mind, even if he is not the top general of the Tang Dynasty, he is also one of the few generals, but this time, he has repeatedly lost at the hands of Duan Jian, a little-known boy, and more importantly, this kid is still a much younger boy than him, such a huge gap, how can he bear it in his heart, he has a strong sense of self-esteem, he would rather die than hear the world's ridicule of him.

"The Metropolitan Governor is calm, calm, the so-called staying in the green mountains is not worrying about no firewood, since ancient times, those who have become great things, all of them have gone through a lot of hardships to succeed, the Metropolitan Governor only has occasional defeats, what is this, as long as we can return to Yangzhou, all this will be fine, when the time comes, when we repel the Tang army and go south again, a mere Duan Jian is not captured, why do you have to do this?"

Xue Zhongzhang also anxiously persuaded.

"Yes, don't do this, this time is a natural disaster, otherwise, that Jian Xiao'er would have been your caged bird a long time ago, you must not take it to heart."

"Yes, yes........"

In order to appease Xu Jingye, everyone on the ship also opened their mouths to persuade them.

Although some of these people are not satisfied with what Xu Jingye has done during this time, but at this moment, as long as they are not fools, they know that in the face of much stronger foreign enemies, they can only get through the difficulties if they are united, and if they want to unite, Xu Jingye, the leader, is an indispensable person, if Xu Jingye dies at this time, there is no second person in the entire Xu army who has such prestige to stand up for the main thing, and when the time comes, the fate of Xu Jun is conceivable, so, whether it is for Xu Jun or for himself, Everyone wants Xu Jingye to stop looking for death at this moment.

No matter whether Xu Jingye has changed his mind or not, under the gaze of everyone, it is impossible for him to seek death.

.............................

"It's a pity, such a fat meat that came to his mouth still made him run, you said that this Xu Jingye is indeed fast enough, during such a period of time, he actually ran to the boat, and he was about to reach the other side."

Standing on the bank of the Yangtze River embankment, looking at the shimmering Yangtze River, Yan Ming sighed with some pity.

"Hahahaha, Yan Langjun's appetite is not small, the nearly 100,000 captives here are not enough for you to eat, and you still want to eat that piece of fat, I really admire, admire!" Hearing Yan Ming's exclamation, Wen Yurong couldn't help but laugh and tease.

"Hmph, what do you know, can it be the same, Xu Jingye is a fat and greasy piece of big fat meat, how can these bones be compared, no matter how many bones there are, they are not as delicious as fatty meat." Yan Ming snorted coldly.

Hearing the words of Yan Ming and Wen Yurong, Duan Jian smiled and said, "Okay, just run away, it's not a bad thing, if you lose your horse, you don't know what is good or bad, it's good that we can save our lives this time, and there are so many prisoners, this is also a big victory, what is there not to be satisfied with." ”

"What Lang Jun said is very true, and his subordinates also feel that this Xu Jingye escaped, but it is much better than dying here, you think about it, this time the imperial court sent Li Xiaoyi as the general manager, leading 300,000 elite troops to the south to quell the rebellion, but now they have just taken Huaiyin City, and they haven't even seen the face of Yangzhou City, if we just kill Xu Jingye in this Xijin Gudu, what will the court think of us, and how will those generals who lead the troops look at us, so let's leave some benefits for others, Xu Jingye handed over the army sent by the imperial court to deal with, anyway, we have more than 100,000 prisoners, and it is impossible for the imperial court to forget our achievements. Zhou Xing said lightly.

For Zhou Xing's explanation, Duan Jian was extremely satisfied, Duan Jian's words just hit his mind, and the others also nodded in agreement, they are all smart people, and they all understand that there is a trick to making meritorious contributions, you complete the task properly, that is called meritorious service, but you have completed the task that no one else can complete, that is not called meritorious service, that is called showmanship, you will be jealous, if you make too much credit, it will even become the source of trouble, after all, the matter of high merit covers the master, that is a common thing in history, and for this kind of person, There is often only one end, and they are unjustly killed because they are feared.
