In the northwest of the Zhanghe River, the night is thick. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There was still a hot day along the Zhanghe River, because he was ordered by Liu Bei to continue digging the breach of the embankment, Fang Shao had to fight at the embankment construction site, directing his soldiers to work at night and night.

His large camp of 20,000 people was located on a high place in the upper reaches of the Zhanghe River, about five miles away, and Fang Shao divided the 20,000 men into four teams, each with 5,000 people, and took turns to work at four times.

At this moment, the east side of the embankment has been dug for nearly 30 zhang of the breach, and under the excavation of the soldiers, the gap is constantly extending and expanding to the north.

"Sir, the spring rain has stopped these days, and the water level of the Zhanghe River is declining, even if the gap is doubled, in my opinion, it will not be able to achieve better results." Deng Ai, who is in charge of the team's operations, said.

Fang Shao shook his head and sighed: "How can I not know this, but Your Majesty is eager to win, and Fa Xiaozhi is instigated from the side, if we continue to dig the embankment, dig it, and then I will see how Xiaozhi ends up." ”

The king's fate is difficult to disobey, and Deng Ai can't say anything more.

Just when the river embankment was tossing and scorching, he suddenly saw several boats with Han army flags in the southeast looking at this side, and he didn't understand this night, Fang Shao was afraid that the Wei army stolen from Yecheng would come to destroy the construction site, so he hurriedly ordered Deng Ai to suspend the work of digging the embankment, and led the soldiers to look at the waterside to prepare to meet the enemy.

Under the strict waiting of the Han army, several ships docked one by one, and from the boats were hundreds of embarrassed and emaciated Han soldiers, who were indeed their own brothers.

These people were obviously from the direction of the imperial camp, Fang Shao wondered in his heart, and was about to summon a few people to come to inquire, but he saw the crowd rushing out, coming towards him step by step, and by the light of the fire, that person was Huang Quan.

"Fang Sima, it's not good, it's not good...... Huang Quan, who was frightened, ran to the front, screaming in fear, his feet were weak, and he was almost about to fall.

Fang Shao took a step forward, hurriedly held it up, and asked in surprise, "Gongheng, what happened?" Aren't you with Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come here and still look like this? ”

Huang Quan was frightened and briefly said the time when the imperial camp happened, and the soldiers around him all changed color when they heard it.

Fang Shao realized at this time that this must have been the annihilation plan of the Wei State. Obviously, people have already estimated that you are going to move to the northeast highlands, so they can unknowingly hollow out the highlands in advance, just waiting for you to fight back when you release the water.

Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng, you are smart but you are mistaken by cleverness!

"Your Majesty, where is Your Majesty?" Fang Shao asked anxiously.

Huang Quan said in a trembling voice: "The change happened too fast, it was collapsing everywhere, and we couldn't see it in the dark, we didn't know where Your Majesty was, so we had to look at the firelight here." Zhongzheng, without further ado, send someone to rescue Your Majesty. ”

Listening to Huang Quan's description, when they fled by boat, the high ground where the imperial camp was located had collapsed into small islands, even if Liu Bei did not die in the collapse, he was lucky enough to escape to the island, but the island was also sinking, and it was really hard to say whether he was still alive at this time.

Fang Shao realized the seriousness of the situation, although he was not very interested in Fa Zheng's plan to flood Yecheng, but he did not expect the other party to come up with such a strange plan, if Liu Bei died in the shocking changes in the imperial camp tonight, this would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Great Han Kingdom.

"Quickly send orders to the battalions to the south, and order them to guard against a sneak attack by the enemy. Go to the camp to inform Jiang Wei, Guan Xing and others, and order them to quickly get up and come to the shore to meet them. Shizai, you will come with me by boat to rescue Your Majesty. ”

Fang Shao quickly calmed down and gave all the orders in an orderly manner, if Liu Bei and Fa Zheng were unfortunately killed, then in the 100,000 army in Yecheng, he, the right great Sima, would become the supreme commander of the whole army, and at such a special moment, he needed to keep a cool head.

One command after another took place, and everyone acted on their own initiative. Fang Shao led Deng Ai and more than 5,000 other people, riding dozens of warships on the Zhanghe River, sailing from the Zhanghe River into the flooded area, and galloped away in the direction of the imperial camp.

………… Liu Bei, who is on an isolated island, is facing an unprecedented crisis in his life.

When Xuzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, although the nest was attacked, the two legs were on his feet, and it was up to him to decide whether to slip or fight.

When he was working under Yuan Shao, he saw that Yuan Shao was not angry, and whether he stayed or left, he also had the final say.

Further back, when Cao Ying's army went south, although he was forced to abandon Fancheng and flee south to Xiakou, there was still a way to escape after all.

But now, trapped on this isolated island, watching the floods continue to swallow up the isolated island, and there are fewer and fewer places to stand under his feet, a feeling of waiting for death enveloped Liu Bei's body and mind, making him deeply realize the horror of no escape.

As the island sank, the ground under his feet had shrunk to no more than three or four feet, and dozens of people were crowded into such a narrow place, pushing and shoving each other, and from time to time people were already squeezed into the water.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi dragged Liu Bei to the center of the island, pulled out his knife and danced in all directions, clearing an open space for him, and shouted at the frightened soldiers: "Your Majesty is here, let Lao Tzu get away, whoever dares to come will take his life." ”

The soldiers were intimidated by the blade, and at first instinctively retreated outward, but as the water level rose and the island continued to shrink, they could only risk the threat of being cut down, and move towards the center step by step.

Chen Zhi knew that every time these people squeezed in, then the space for the Son of Heaven to live would be compressed. Even if there is only an inch of land left under his feet, it must be left to the Son of Heaven, because if you hold on a little more, the rescue people and horses can arrive in time, and maybe you can rescue the Son of Heaven from the predicament.

So, in the face of the soldiers who were constantly approaching, Chen Zhi once again warned sharply: "I repeat, whoever dares to take another step inside, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Venture inside, or there is a glimmer of life, if you dare not move because of fear, there is only a dead end, how to choose at this time, in fact, it is very clear.

The soldiers who were forced by the flood could only ignore Chen Zhi's threat and continue to move in.

The cold light flashed, a stream of blood splashed down, and a human head flew into the air, and then fell into the rolling torrent. Then, a headless corpse was plunged into the water.

"Uncle Zhi, why are you doing this!" Seeing that Chen Zhi actually made a move on his subordinates, Liu Bei couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Zhi didn't pay attention to Liu Bei, and only said in a deep voice: "The minister knows that His Majesty can't bear it, but His Majesty is a ninety-five body, and he is responsible for the safety of the world, and the minister must not let His Majesty lose, and when necessary, any sacrifice is okay."

Before Chen Zhi spoke, a few more soldiers squeezed in, and Chen Zhi didn't say a word, and when he raised his knife and fell, he killed those soldiers who didn't know what to do.

At such a point, what else can Liu Bei say, in all dynasties, no monarch is willing to vacate his living space to soldiers at such a special moment, and Liu Bei is no exception.

So, Liu Bei could only sigh, close his eyes and choose to turn a blind eye.

The speed of the flood surge increased suddenly, and the remaining dozen or so soldiers tore off the disguise of fear of the emperor and rushed towards the center desperately.

"I'm sorry, brothers!" Chen Zhi roared, and a treasure knife danced like an iron curtain, enveloping Liu Bei on all sides, and those soldiers who dared to bump into it were all cut to pieces.

The island has not yet sunk, but the blood has stained the ground that is only a few feet wide of the land red.

In a moment, the remaining soldiers were also killed by Chen Zhi, and only Chen Zhi and Liu Bei were left in the lonely reef.

Chen Zhi put the treasure knife into the sheath and said silently: "Now there is no one to grab a place with Your Majesty, please hold on for a while, maybe the rescue ship will arrive soon." ”

"Hope such as—"

Before the words fell, suddenly there was a shake under his feet, and the only remaining foothold collapsed instantly, and Chen Zhi and Liu Bei fell into the icy water together.

Fortunately, Liu Bei has lived in Jingzhou for many years, and he has also practiced a good water surname, although he fell into the water, he will not drown for the time being, and Chen has followed Liu Bei since Jingzhou, and the water surname is not weak. Unfortunately, most of the soldiers, most of these soldiers from the north, basically do not know the water surname, once they fall into the water, it is a dead end.

However, although Liu Bei knows how to water, after all, he is old, and when he soaks in the cold water like this, the whole person is immediately cramped with cold, but fortunately, Chen Zhi found him in time and dragged him to the surface.

The two struggled in the water for a while, and luckily found a wooden pillar, Chen Zhi helped Liu Bei to put his hands on the wooden pillar, and with the buoyancy of the wooden pillar, he barely floated in the turbulent current.

At this time, although the spring flowers are blooming, but when the weather in the north reaches the night, there will still be a little chill, and this flood is even more cold and biting, Chen is in the prime of life, the body is strong, so it is not tight to soak for a while, but Liu Bei is sixty years old, plus he is already weak and sick, so immersed in this ice water, after a while, the whole person will be so cold and white, and he will tremble all over.

"Your Majesty, if you hold on a little longer, the rescue ship will be almost here!" Chen Zhi encouraged Liu Bei beside him.

At this time, Liu Bei's mind gradually blurred, his body gradually numb, he realized that he couldn't last long, so he trembled and said: "Uncle Zhi, I can't do it, you don't have to worry about me, find a way to escape by yourself." ”

Chen Zhi roared: "How can the minister be like this, Your Majesty, you must hold on, hold on for a moment." ”

Liu Bei didn't respond to Chen Dao, his eyes were already blurred, his mind was becoming more and more confused, and a strong sense of lethargy surged all over his body, how much he wanted to fall asleep.

Chen Zhi saw that he looked drowsy, so he shook him and shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't sleep, you can't wake up after sleeping, you can't sleep." ”

"Uncle Zhi, I'm so tired, I really want to ......sleep," Liu Bei muttered to himself, his upper and lower eyelids getting closer and closer.
