The yellow tide of white light struck the sky, Sun Qian was shocked, and immediately thought that Liu Bei was still in the closed city lord's mansion, and shouted to the soldiers: "You guys, go and get the lord from the city lord's mansion to the open area!" The guards in the city panicked when they saw the flood coming from afar, and when they heard what Sun Qianyi said, they suddenly had a direction and went to protect Liu Bei conscientiously.

The flood covered the entire Jianghuai land, Shouchun City is located in a depression, the flood directly crossed the city wall, rushed into the city, in the panic and screams of various people, the first city in Huainan was submerged in the flood, only four corner towers stood in the turbid flood, hanging each other. At this time, a figure climbed up the corner tower from underwater, it was Sun Qian. Sun Qian stood on the corner tower panting, looking at the endless vast water surface in front of him, thousands of miles of uninhabited, only the same sky and the turbid earth-colored water surface in his field of vision, the regret of losing the lord, the frustration of being flooded, and the loneliness, all surged into his heart, in this empty space, the sound of sobbing floated on the water surface full of all kinds of debris.

Not long after, a person floated up to the water with a few wooden planks, looking lucky to breathe in the fresh air, and saw Sun Gan: "Eh, General Sun, you have come up!" ”

Sun Qian stopped sobbing and nodded happily in response.

Next, many people floated onto the water, and the water suddenly became lively, and the sound of happiness, chat, and laughter spread. Sun Qian greeted the people who had survived the catastrophe, telling them all to go upstairs and not soak in the water. Sun Qian was stunned and blurted out: "Lord! ”

Then people, regardless of whether Liu Bei was dead or alive, floated on the rippling water and placed Liu Bei on the corner tower.

On the high ground southwest of Shouchun, Tai Shi Ci looked at Shouchun City submerged in the water from afar, and Sun Gan, who was standing on the corner tower, saw it at once. Tai Shi Ci glanced at the endless flood again, shook his head and sighed a few times: "Youping's trick is really good, and he took Shouchun City without much effort. Alas, it's a pity for the innocent people on the land of Jianghuai! After saying that, he turned around and said to the soldiers who were full of battle spirit and only waited for him to give an order:

"Go make food now, the whole army will rest and recuperate for a few days, and we will send troops after the flood recedes!"

The soldiers were stunned, but in accordance with Tai Shici's order, they all helped the food soldiers to cook.

Huang Gai stepped forward and said, "Ziyi, Liu Bei was attacked by water, and our soldiers are full of morale, why don't you attack now?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Not every battle on the battlefield will be as simple as this time, these soldiers beat Liu Bei to the point of collapse outside Caisang City, and it is also the same outside Lujiang City, like this time, they will easily take Shouchun, right?" ”

"Yes, isn't this because our Jiangdong disciples are brave?"

"But this is just the right time and place and the strategy of the main general, but not because of how strong the real combat effectiveness of the soldiers is. What I hope is that the soldiers will grow up as we expand the territory of Koto. Otherwise, when he went to the Central Plains to fight a tough battle with Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, and there was no way to use the strategy, it was this group of children who had not fought many battles who suffered. I am not in a hurry to send troops, first, to wait for the flood to cease, so that the soldiers will not die in the waves; Second, there are very few ships I have made in a hurry, and I can only attack with a small number of men and horses, and it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and the soldiers who remain will also complain; The third is to exercise the patience of the soldiers. Tai Shi Ci said abruptly.

"It seems that I am really old," Huang Gai said heroically, "but with Ziyi and Gongjin here, why worry that my Jiangdong Army will not sweep the world!" ”

But it was said that Liu Bei was placed on the corner tower by everyone after he floated, and he breathed evenly, and Sun Qian and the others were also relieved. Liu Bei, Sun Qian, and the floating soldiers, and the people waited for the flood water to recede on the submerged Shouchun City, and waited for a day and a night.

Liu Bei lay on the corner tower, and in the dark night, there were only stars in the sky, like a dream. Xi Xi spring breeze with damp water vapor on Liu Bei's clothes, Liu Bei gradually woke up, opened his eyes and quietly looked at the stars in the sky, like a chessboard, Liu Bei recalled his life, at the beginning there was nothing, weaving shoes and selling seats, and now there is a group of people who follow him desperately, not bad! Liu Bei's spirit suddenly became full, his eyes were shining, but when he wanted to move his arm, there was an irresistible feeling of powerlessness, and he was helpless and continued to lie down.

"Lord, you're awake." Sun Qian, who couldn't sleep, said. Trapped here by the flood, waiting to die, the whistling spring breeze is wet and cold, and the snoring of the sleeping people around is constant, worrying about where the way out is, Sun Qian can sleep like this!

"Hmm."

"Look at the lord, you are full of energy, you must have recovered physically!" Sun Qian said in surprise.

Liu Bei shook his head and said lightly: "I wanted Tao Xuzhou to recommend you to me at the beginning, and I also wanted you to achieve something, but seeing you follow me for a few years, fleeing everywhere, wandering around, and a good life has not passed for a few days, I am really ashamed of Tao Xuzhou and you!" After saying that, he began to sob, and then tears went into his trachea, and he coughed constantly.

"My lord, being appreciated by you is my greatest achievement, why not. Lord, pay attention to your body! Sun Qian stepped forward to help Liu Bei up and beat Liu Bei's back.

Liu Bei gradually calmed down and said: "If we can get away with it this time, I don't want to fight anymore, Runan still has some property, and the second and third brothers who followed me are no longer alive," he cried again as he spoke, and said in a choked voice, "You go to marry a wife and have children in a part!" ”

"My lord." Sun Qian also cried. Monarchs and ministers wept at each other.

Gradually, some people floating on the water were woken up by their cries, and asked the reason, Sun Gan said a lot, and he didn't understand, but he just felt that Liu Bei, a good lord, didn't want them anymore, and he also cried. Gradually, more and more people were woken up, and they all cried inexplicably. The bright moon rose, and on the lonely mountain not far away, a blue wolf looked at the moon and howled, "Woo Woo" melodious and tactful, especially poignant, however, it was Liu Bei and a group of people crying on the water The scene was more shocking.

Soon, someone felt that he had knelt on the stone, and he was not surprised, could it be that he had been soaking for a long time and had an illusion? Looking down, looking around again, he suddenly shouted, "The water has receded!" The water is receding!"

Everyone stopped sobbing and looked around, the water had receded to the height of the city wall, the railing of the city wall was exposed outside the water, and everyone stood up from kneeling on the city wall, looking at Sun Qian and Liu Bei, who were looking down on everyone from the high corner tower.
