Chapter 2036: The Water is Flooding
The Wei army opened aqueducts from both sides of the Jialing River and introduced the moat.
The moat of Langzhong City is connected to the sewers of the city.
The river poured water into the city, and although it was slow, the soldiers and civilians in the city could not discharge it.
The Jialing River has an endless source of water, and due to the diversion of the river, the river level in the lower reaches has been lowered a lot, and the city of Langzhong has become a swamp country.
Looking at Langzhong who was flooded, Fa Zheng didn't have any expression on his face.
Yang Xiu and the others beside him all frowned.
The river poured into Langzhong, and I don't know how many civilians would die in the flood, and once the news reached Cao Shuo, it was not known how he would react.
Fa Zheng was flooded, and Cao Shuo, who was in Hanzhong, of course, quickly got the news.
Knowing that Langzhong was flooded, Cao Shuo didn't speak for a long time.
Pang Tong and Lu Xun, who were standing behind him, glanced at each other.
Pang Tong greeted softly: "The lord ......"
"The water from the Jialing River poured into Langzhong, and I don't know how many people will die in the flood." After a long time, Cao Shuo came up with a sentence.
"Fa Xiaozhi did this, it was indeed ......" Lu Xun sighed: "I knew I should have ...... it"
"He did it out of desperation." Cao Shuo replied: "Actually, I have long known that he will choose some extreme methods, this time our army is on the expedition, and there will not be a few people who will die in Yizhou because of this." ”
"The killing is too heavy, isn't it against the original intention of the lord?" Pang Tong also said on the side: "Why don't you ...... Replace Fa Xiaozhi first, and I or Boyan will go up ......"
"No!" Cao Shuo said: "There is always killing in all conquests, if Liu Xuande is allowed to live, there will be continuous battles in the future, and I don't know how many people will die in the war." It's better to give up a place in Langzhong and just ask Liu Xuande to die! ”
He said to Lu Xun: "Send someone to Langzhong and tell Fa Xiaozhi, and I know everything he did there." Let him do it without any concerns. ”
"I see." Lu Xun responded, and then instructed the guards: "Send someone to Langzhong and pass the words of the lord to Fa Xiaozhi." ”
The Jialing River pours into Langzhong, and the city is a country.
The Wei troops stationed outside the city could even hear the desolate cries coming from the city.
"Fa Gong, is it ...... to do this" It has been a few days in the flood, and Yang Xiu also feels that it is time to stop: "If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will ......"
"As long as Liu Xuande is alive, the lord will not be stable at any time." Fa Gong said: "The lord must also hope that Liu Xuande can die!" ”
"We all know that the lord hopes that Liu Xuande can die,......" Yang Xiu also wanted to defend: "But ......"
He was about to say the words "but" when he rode a fast horse from a distance.
"General Fa is here? The Lord has an order! The knight shouted loudly as he galloped his horse.
Yang Xiu greeted him: "What is the lord's order?" ”
"Yang Gong!" Seeing Yang Xiu, the knight reined in his horse: "The lord said that he already knows everything General Fa is doing here." As long as Liu Xuande can be killed, the world will be peaceful from now on, and he doesn't care about one city or one place. Please do what General Fa intended! ”
Cao Shuo has already moved Fa Zheng several times in succession, and this time he actually braved the world's disapproval to send this order.
Fa Zheng walked over to the knight quickly, bowed down and said, "Please tell the lord that Fa Zheng is here to thank you!" ”
"The order has been delivered, I will take my leave!" The knight dropped his horse and turned to leave.
Cao Shuo's order reached the army, and everyone who was still suspicious of Fa Zheng also let go of the burden in their hearts.
The water of the Jialing River is still pouring into Langzhong City.
A stream was formed through the water in Langzhong, and Langzhong became a city submerged in the river.
The water at the head of the city was also more than half a person's height, although Liu Bei let the people go to the roof, but the water flow was too strong, and the houses in the city were completely submerged.
The people had to go up to the top of the city and soak in the water.
During the day it was better, but at night, when people were tired, they had to sleep standing on the battlements.
If it was only a day or two, it would have been easy to pass, the flood lasted for nearly a month, and a serious epidemic occurred in Langzhong City.
The sick soldiers and civilians had nowhere to stay, and either fell into the water and drowned alive, or were carried out of the city by their companions......
At the head of the city, most of his body was soaked in water, Liu Bei looked at the Wei army in the distance and slowly closed his eyes.
He felt hopeless!
Lang Zhong has become like this, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua have not yet moved......
Liu Bei had a bad premonition.
He had a hunch that something had happened to Jiang Wei and Liao Hua, otherwise how could he have not seen half of the reinforcements until now?
Liao Hua did have an accident, he had already been captured by Ma Chao, and he was locked in a prisoner car at this time, watching Wei Jun walk around with annoyance every day.
Looking at Langzhong, which was flooded in the distance, Liao Hua had no expression on his face.
Fa Zheng once sent people to persuade him to surrender, but he never let go.
has been an official in Shuzhong for several years, although his ability is not very great, he can't do anything about turning his back on the old master......
Just looking into the distance, Liao Hua heard a voice from the side: "There must have been a lot of deaths in the Great Water in Langzhong, if Liu Xuande really cared about the life and death of the people, he should have surrendered to our army a long time ago, so as not to lose his life." ”
Turning his head to look, Liao Hua saw that Fa Zheng and two guards were standing next to him not far away.
"Seeing the scene in front of him, General Liao has nothing to say?" Fa Zheng also looked at Liao Hua.
Liao Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was Fa Gong who disconnected the Jialing River and poured water into Langzhong, but now he is putting on a compassionate posture, who is it for?" ”
"General Liao thinks I want to be in the middle of the water?" Fa Zheng said: "It's only Liu Bei who we want to kill, and the soldiers and civilians in Langzhong are nothing more than suffering for him." As long as Liu Bei is willing to open the city gate and surrender, I can immediately give an order to let the soldiers dredge the river and divert the river in Langzhong. He refuses to die for the soldiers and civilians of Langzhong, what can I do? ”
"So, it makes sense for Fagong to divert water into Langzhong?" Liao Hua couldn't say that Fa was correct, so he could only reply with a non-lethal sentence.
"Of course." Fa Zheng said: "There will always be killing in all conquests, if Liu Xuande lives, the world will still not be peaceful." Sooner or later, there will be a second, a third, or even ten, a hundred. Could it be that General Liao would like to see that scene? ”
Liao Hua was stunned when asked, and he didn't know what to say.
"King Wei has been fighting for many years, and he finally wants to unify the world." Fa Zheng said: "The sooner you rule the world, the sooner the people can live a stable life." The general is loyal to Liu Bei alone, but he will offend the whole world, is this also loyalty? ”
After Fa Zheng finished saying this, he turned around and left.
Liao Hua looked stunned, and after he turned around and walked a few steps, he shouted: "Fa Gong stays!" ”
Turning around, Fa Zheng looked at Liao Hua and didn't ask a word. 2k reading web
