Chapter 351: The city of Yecheng wants to fall

was judged to be yelled at like this, and Xianrong didn't dare to say more, and the trial also needed Xianrong to help defend the city, so he couldn't be forced too much, so he had to comfort: "Rong'er, you don't know Liu Jiyu's policy, if he is allowed to master Jizhou, how can we, the big families, have a place to stand!" Who knows, many families in Jizhou have moved to Xuchang under the pressure of Liu Zhang! ”
"How can these people be short-sighted and on a par with my generation?" Xian Rong pursed his lips with disdain, in his mind, after Liu Zhang became the overlord of the north, he would definitely clean up Cao Ying, and there was no difference between implementing Liu Zhang's policy early and executing it later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, he thought so in his heart, but his mouth said vaguely: "What my uncle said is very true! ”
"Alas!" The judge understood that the judge was unconvinced, and he sighed. In fact, even the trial Rong can see it, how can the trial match not see it, it's just that he can't pull down his face and surrender to Liu Zhang! There is another reason, he is valued by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang, and he can't bear to betray the old master, and he doesn't want others to say that he is disloyal, so he is ready to sacrifice his life to gain fame!
was interrupted by Jurong like this, and Juan didn't want to send troops out to stop Liu Zhang's army from breaking the embankment. Of course, even if you send troops, you can't stop it, but you just die in vain. Pretending to be on the embankment of the Zhanghe River for a long time, seeing that Yecheng was not moving, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun really excavated under the command of Jia Xu! As for Guan Yu and the others, who were ambushing under Yecheng and preparing to take the opportunity to attack the city, they naturally withdrew back and moved their troops to a high place, so as not to harm the pond fish!
"Boom... "It may be difficult to build a levee, but it is easy to dig a levee." More than 10,000 people worked together, and it didn't take much effort to dig up the embankment of the Zhanghe River. Although it is not the flood season, the water of the Zhanghe River has always been abundant. As soon as the embankment broke, the river poured out of the breach, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a flood, and the breach became bigger and bigger under the flood.
What does a flood look like? Maybe not many people have seen it! But if you're lucky, it's best not to see you for the rest of your life! The flood was pushed to nearly ten meters at the highest point, and a wave hit, as if there was a gluttony devouring everything. Fire and water are ruthless, the power of nature is unstoppable!
"Uncle, look!" In order to prevent Liu Zhang from bursting the embankment, he had already ordered people to prepare countless sacks and straw bales to block the four gates of Yecheng. But when the flood came, Xianrong couldn't help but panic!
Following Xianrong's fingers, I only saw a white line appear in the sky, this white line became thicker and thicker, and gradually turned into a wall of water, pushing towards Yecheng. The wall of water crashed into the wall of Yecheng, shattered, and turned into waves, splashing everywhere. What's more, it was sprinkled on the face of the judge!
The weather in September and October, the heat gradually subsides, can be exposed to the sun for a long time, and the temperature on the head of Yecheng City, in the middle and afternoon, is nearly 30 degrees. The splash of water actually cooled the city, but this coolness will be fatal! Along the crack of the city gate, the water gradually flows into Yecheng, although there are sacks and other things to block, but the water is pervasive.
The vicinity of Yecheng has become a Ze country. Standing at the head of the city, watching the water level below the city getting higher and higher, his heart was anxious, while Liu Zhang stood on a high post, frowning, watching the flood below.
"Gan Ning!" Liu Zhang suddenly screamed.
"The last general!" was named by Liu Zhang, Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Fei hurriedly poked him out with his fingers.
Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "I asked you to collect ships, how many did you collect?" The water is your world, I not only want you to defeat the enemy, but also want you to save people! ”
"Enlighten the lord!" Gan Ning hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are near the Zhanghe River, and they have only collected more than 200 fishing boats, which is not enough at all!" However, I ordered my soldiers to build a few hundred rafts, which should be enough! ”
"Good!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "But you have to be careful, don't let my sergeant get injured because of saving others!" ”
"Don't worry, my lord!" Gan Ning said: "What is this bit of water? Even if I threw the bunnies under my command into it when the Yangtze River was flooding, I might not be able to drown one! ”
"That's great!" Liu Zhang smiled: "It's just not enough! In the future, not only the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but also the sea! When we sweep the north away, we will build a seaport in the Bohai Sea! When you can gallop in the sea, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River will be no problem! ”
"Yes!" Gan Ning said: "My subordinates have also seen the sea, but unfortunately the ship is too small, and before it enters the sea, it is almost subverted!" It is estimated that only the building ship in Jiangdong can sail in the sea! ”
"What is a building boat!" Liu Zhang said: "In the future, our ship will be several times larger than the Lou ship, and we will attack Jiangdong directly by sea." I heard that the Sun clan relied on the Jiangdong Navy to cross the Yangtze River, so I let him cross the Yangtze River, and I led the army directly into the sea! I want to see how the Jiangdong Navy defends the coastline that stretches for thousands of miles! ”
"The lord is a hero!" Gan Ning was fascinated by what Liu Zhang said, and couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "When the time comes, please don't forget me!" ”
"That's nature!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Now you immediately lead the troops to inspect to see if there are any soldiers and people drowning." If so, save it to a high place, and it will take a few days for the water to recede! ”
"Subordinates understood!" Gan Ning clenched his hands into fists and turned away. After a while, the sampans and rafts sailed into Zeguo, and all the soldiers under Gan Ning's command took off their heavy armor, wearing only leather armor and floating in the flood with water, like dragons!
"Jinfan Gan Xingba, it's really extraordinary!" Xu Shu stroked his short beard under his chin and said: "With this general of the navy, the chances of winning are much better in the future!" ”
"What is Koto!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Yuan Zhi, do you know what the weather is like at the end of the sea?" ”
"This..."Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Little brother doesn't know!" ”
"If I tell you that heaven and earth are a big ball, starting from Bohai Bay, driving around the big ball, you can still return to the Bohai Sea, do you believe it?" Liu Zhang's eyes burned, and Xu Shu was a little uneasy.
"The ancients said: The sky is round and the earth is round. Why does the lord say that heaven and earth are a big ball? Xu Shu smiled and asked: "Even if heaven and earth are really a big ball, how can the lord know about it?" ”
"Born to know!" Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Yuan Zhi must not believe it in his heart, wait for us to unify the Han Dynasty, and then slowly study these things!" ”
"Little brother wait and see!" Xu Shu smiled and bowed, if others told him so, he would probably slap him. However, since it was Liu Zhang's words, although he didn't believe it a little, he didn't dare to disbelieve it completely!
The flood continued to flood, and Gan Ning patrolled the water a few times and saved many people. After a few days, Liu Zhang refused to let him go again. At this time, even if there were still people, they were all drowned. He who did not drown starved to death. Of course, in order to avoid plague and disease, Liu Zhang ordered his subordinates to drink boiled water.
Although it was a bit troublesome to make a fire and get firewood due to the heavy water, it was fortunate that Liu Zhang found an open-pit coal mine, which also met the supply of the army. As for the problem that coal and stone are difficult to ignite, how can it be difficult for Liu Zhang. I remember in my previous life, as soon as winter came, Liu Zhang's house would have a coal stove. It's not the kind that burns honeycomb coal, but an iron stove that burns coal directly.
Liu Zhang's army was in the highlands, and Gan Ning led his troops to transport supplies, so he said that he was doing well. But Yuan Jun in Yecheng was in trouble. Although there is still a lot of grain and grass in Yecheng, but there is no firewood, how can it be eaten? In the past, even if there was a battle, the Yuan army could take advantage of the night to collect some firewood, but now that the city is besieged by large waters, it is simply a luxury to go out of the city. Even if you can get out of the city, where can you go to get firewood? Outside the city is a land of Ze.
Without firewood, you can only eat food raw, and water can only be drunk without boiling. Eating raw food is not a big problem, but drinking raw water will make the problem serious! If the flood does not know what it has been soaked in, how can it drink indiscriminately? Even the wells in the city have floodwaters, which is also a big problem. Sergeant Yuan had a stroke, and many people began to run and have diarrhea, like a plague!
In Yecheng, there are only some military attendants, and it is a problem for them to do some bandaging, not to mention the disease of the inner house. Seeing that the symptoms of the soldiers were similar, and they could not diagnose and treat them, they had to tell the judge that these people had contracted the plague. In desperation, the judge had to isolate the infected people, but more and more people got sick!
Half a month later, the flood gradually receded, and Liu Zhang's army came to the city again. Today's trial has long been less elegant than it was at the beginning, his pale cheeks and forehead are like an old man in his sixties and seventies, full of vicissitudes, but he is only in his forties! Seeing the tragic scene of the trial, Liu Zhang didn't want to fall into the well, so he sent someone to persuade him to surrender! But judging this stubborn donkey, he didn't leave, he fought backwards, Yecheng had no power to resist, and he even had to fight to the death!
Liu Zhang had no choice but to prepare to attack the city. Just when Liu Zhang's army was about to attack, the city wall of Yecheng, which had been flooded for half a month, expanded and contracted under the sun, and collapsed with a bang. Seeing this, the judge closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down his cheeks. The nephew of the trial Rong couldn't stand it anymore, so he took advantage of the fact that the trial didn't pay attention and quietly walked down the city.
"Lord!" Seeing that the city wall had collapsed, Liu Zhang was about to give the order to attack the city, but Xin Bi came to his horse and knelt down!
"George, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Xin Bi perform this great gift, Liu Zhang frowned.
"I want to intercede for someone!" Simbi was half-kneeling on the ground, his face full of pleading.
"You mean Honor?" Liu Zhang smiled: "It's a trial, if he surrenders, I won't kill him!" ”
"The lord is generous, but I'm worried that Xingrong will kill himself!" Xin Bi smiled bitterly: "Xianrong is young and sluggish, only this uncle is the best for him!" If the city is broken, the trial will die, I am afraid..."
"I see!" Liu Zhang nodded, he knew that Xin Bi had guessed correctly.
In history, Xianrong was dissatisfied with the trial and killed the whole family of Xinbi, and couldn't bear to let the lives of Yecheng be ruined, so he surrendered to Cao Ying, and when he opened the city, he also committed suicide and died! It's just that at that time, Simbi was in the grief of the death of his family, and he didn't have time to save Xianrong. Now, Xin Bi's family is fine, and he naturally thinks of his friend Xianrong.
