Fifteen days passed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For fifteen days, nearly 20,000 people gathered in the south of Pingyuan County. These people are old and weak, and some are young and strong, but without exception, almost all of them have brought their families with them. There are many old and weak, but with the cooperation of the family, some people are responsible for digging the soil, and some people are responsible for transporting, and the division of labor is clear, but it is also easy.

Outside the city of Plains, mountains were hollowed out.

All the sand and dirt were carried out of the southern city.

An unprecedented levee was built. The bottom of this embankment has been continuously widened, and finally it reaches 20 zhang, and the width of the top reaches 6 zhang, and the length is 9 li.

I have to say that there will be brave men under the heavy reward.

In just fifteen days, it was completed.

But Liu Xuan consumed 5 billion yuan in money and nearly 70,000 stone in grain.

That's a huge amount, but the effect is clear.

After the embankment was built, Liu Xuan built a sentry tower on the embankment, placed a defensive offensive, and deployed troops to ensure the safety of the embankment. At night, torches are lit on the embankment, and the entire embankment is illuminated to ensure that the embankment is not invaded.

On this day, the weather was extremely hot.

The sun exudes scorching heat, but there is no trace of autumn wind, which makes people panic.

After dark, the weather is still muggy.

Liu Xuan's camp.

Guo Jia stood in the open air, looking up at the dark starry sky, with a bright smile on his face.

Heavy rain is coming.

Liu Xuan walked out and said with a smile: "Brother, the weather is so hot, it's going to rain soon." ”

Guo Jia said: "Since we entered the Plains Country, there has been no rain. Until now, once this rain falls, it will be a sea of water. ”

Liu Xuan's eyes were excited, and he said, "Everything is ready, only the heavy rain is owed." ”

"Click!"

Suddenly, a flash of lightning swept across the sky, and a blinding light lit up the starry sky.

"Whew!"

The wind was blowing, and the banners planted in the camp were hunting.

"Tick!"

A drop of rain fell from the sky and splashed on the ground.

"Tick! Tick! ”

The rain became more and more intensive, and after a while, the county was connected.

"Whoa!"

The bean-sized rain turned into a torrential rain.

The rain splashed on the ground, kicking up dust everywhere.

Liu Xuan was splashed by the heavy rain, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Brother, it's coming, this rain is finally coming." ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said, "Second brother, congratulations." ”

Liu Xuan laughed, he had paid so much, and he finally waited.

Shi A came with the soldiers, and one of the soldiers handed over the coat and hat to Guo Jia, and Shi A personally put on the coat and hat for Liu Xuan, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, go back to the camp first." ”

"Good!"

Liu Xuan, Guo Jia, and Shi A returned to the tent.

As soon as they came back, Jia Xu, Tai Shici, and Xu Huang had already entered the camp.

The three of them also had smiles on their faces.

The host and guest are seated.

Jia Xu's wrinkled face was full of smiles, and he said, "Your Highness, the embankment has just been built, and the heavy rain is coming. All this came at a better time. Rain irrigation, after tonight, you can see the effect tomorrow. ”

Liu Xuan said: "This is all the credit of Jia Junshi. ”

Jia Xu said: "I don't dare to take credit for my humble position. ”

Liu Xuan's eyes turned, fell on Tai Shici and Xu Huang, and said in a deep voice: "The stakes are very high, tonight, hard work Ziyi and Gongming." You personally went to the embankment and led the soldiers to garrison to prevent Liu Bei from going out of the city to attack. After the levee was filled with water, as the water level rose and the river flooded into the city, it was impossible for Liu Bei to reverse the situation. ”

"Yes!"

When Tai Shici and Xu Huang heard this, they nodded in response.

The two of them wore robes and hats, and hurried to the embankment to garrison.

Irrigated by heavy rains, the ground quickly became muddy, and finally pools of water gathered in patches. The topography of Pingyuan Castle is high in the north and low in the south, and the rainwater collects and flows towards the southern city, causing more and more water to collect in the embankment.

On the city tower, Liu Bei looked at everything outside the city, with a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

It's raining!

It still rained after all.

In Liu Bei's heart, although he arranged for soldiers to prepare rafts and boats, he always expected that it would be dry and not raining. As long as there is no rain, the embankment built by Liu Xuan is useless, and Liu Xuan can only retreat if he cannot break the city.

It's raining now, and it's still pouring rain.

Liu Bei looked at Tian Feng on the side, his eyes flickering.

After a long time, Liu Bei said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, since it is raining, the last battle is about to begin. At this point, it is useless for Mr. Yuan Hao to stay. Tonight, I asked the soldiers to take him out of town. Mr. went out of the city and hid for the time being, and after Liu Xuan and I went to war, Mr. took advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to leave. Thank you sir for your help during this time. ”

After hearing this, Tian Feng's eyes were surprised.

He didn't expect that Liu Bei would offer to let him leave.

In fact, Tian Feng had already made plans to stay with Liu Bei.

Tian Feng shook his head and chuckled, "There's no need." "Tian Feng was stationed in Pingyuan City on Yuan Shao's order, if Liu Bei didn't leave, Tian Feng couldn't leave, otherwise he would be disobeying Yuan Shao's order.

Liu Bei said: "There is no need for Mr. to stay and fight to the death with me. ”

Tian Feng said: "I didn't die with you, I just sought his own government in his position." The lord asked me to stay in Plains City to help you, and I should do my best and will not leave my post without permission. ”

Liu Bei propped his hands on the women's wall and said, "Sir, you don't have to. ”

Tian Feng said: "Don't persuade again! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he stopped persuading. He persuaded Tian Feng that he had fulfilled his obligations. Even in Liu Bei's heart, Tian Feng stayed to assist him, which was more conducive to the defense of the county.

Zhang Fei stood beside Liu Bei and said, "Brother, it's already raining, I'll go out of the city to attack." ”

Liu Bei said: "The water level is not high, there is no need to attack." ”

Zhang Fei looked outside the city, saw the torches burning on the embankment, and the soldiers on patrol, his eyes flashed with high fighting spirit and strong killing intent.

Liu Xuan should be killed!

Liu Xuan's people should also be killed!

Zhang Fei's expression was solemn, like a sculpture standing beside Liu Bei.

Tian Feng glanced at the layout outside the city and said, "There is really no need to go out of the city now, the water level rises after dawn, and then use small boats and rafts to destroy the embankment." ”

Although there is a water pool outside the city, the road is muddy, and people go to the bottom of the embankment, facing the embankment more than ten zhang wide, which is of no use at all, not only difficult to attack, but also become a target for arrows.

Liu Bei said: "Mr. Yuan Hao, you go down and have a good rest." ”

"Good!"

Tian Feng gave up his hand and turned to leave.

Liu Bei ordered the generals to guard the city tower and left with Zhang Fei.

That night, there was no fighting between the two sides.

However, the water level is rising. The heavy rain caused water to accumulate everywhere inside and outside the city, and the embankment lay outside the city, so that the river water that gathered seeped into the city along the city gate, and continued to flow, making the river water rise sharply in the city. Rao is Liu Bei has already moved all the hoarding grain, but the water level is more than knee-high, and the city has already been flooded.
