Zhou Tai glanced at the battle situation, according to this trend, the Jiangdong Army will not take the city in a few hours, at the latest tomorrow morning, and Zhou Tai knows Zhou Yu's temper, he can capture it tonight, he will never wait until tomorrow morning.

"Master Huang, what are you still thinking?" Zhou Tai asked.

Huang Yueying sighed at the sky and said with a sad face: "Zhou Tai, do you know? I'm going to win. ”

"It's not funny at all." Zhou Tai walked to Huang Yueying and stood beside him, silent for a long time, and finally said: "Miss Huang, everything you do, I Zhou Tai has seen it in my eyes, I think that you are benevolent and righteous to Liu Zhang or Liu Xun, and you have done your best."

Even if Yizhou can give you 10,000 reinforcements, Jiangling will not be lost, and the fall of Jiangling is not your fault, why should you be martyred for the Liu family? You are worthy of your lord, and this is the time when you should think about your future. ”

After Zhou Tai finished speaking, he sighed, and said: "Okay, I'll take a step back, Miss Huang wants to make a contribution, as long as Miss Huang can serve Jiangdong, I, Zhou Tai, will fight my head, and let Wu Hou appoint you as a powerful official and give you the opportunity to fight, how about it?" ”

Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai looked earnest, even pleading, Huang Yueying smiled strangely: "General Zhou, what are you doing here?" As long as Zhou Yu defeats me, you will be free, I, Huang Yueying, will not break my word, why do you persuade me to surrender? ”

"I ......" Zhou Tai was speechless for a while, was silent for a while, clenched his fists, and suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Huang Yueying." I advise you to surrender because I don't want you to die, because ...... Because I like you, I want you to be my wife, and I swear that in this life, I will only be good to you. All things are obedient to you, and if I change my mind, I am willing to be killed by you. ”

Zhou Tai gasped for breath after speaking. looked at Huang Yueying nervously, her face was flushed, the general who was not afraid of death, but at this time he used all his courage.

Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Tai in a daze, and put her palm on the first half centimeter of Zhou Tai's forehead, "You're okay, right?" I'm so ugly, you like me? ”

Zhou Tai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm serious, although you don't look good, but your good others can't see it." I, Zhou Tai, have been following you for almost a year. No one knows you better than I do.

As a military advisor, you are wise and decisive, which I admire.

As an ordinary person, you have a lot of whimsical ideas and excellent martial arts.

Most importantly, as a woman, you are virtuous, tender, kind, and compassionate, and your smile always brings warmth to others, and all your pain is hidden in your heart. You are the best woman in the world, some people only look at your appearance, it is they who are blind. ”

"Kindness and compassion?" Huang Yueying suddenly smiled bitterly, after Zhou Tai finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to Huang Yueying's hand, Huang Yueying took it away at once, and said coldly: "Zhou Tai, you heard clearly, the reason why I tried my best to recruit you is because you are loyal and brave, there is no other reason, and. ”

Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Tai: "You said that I, Huang Yueying, am dedicated to fame and fame, but I am not you, you are loyal to Wu Hou to make contributions to yourself, and Wu Hou uses you to achieve hegemony."

Let me tell you, my great cause of fame can only be completed under Shu Hou, because I have the same ambition with Shu Hou, even if I Huang Yueying die, I will not serve anyone else, this is not a matter of loyalty, it is a matter of my value.

So don't persuade me to take refuge in Wu Hou, and before you say something, remember your own identity, you are a prisoner of your own army. ”

After Huang Yueying finished speaking, Zhou Tai's face turned pale, "Remember your own identity", Zhou Tai only felt weak, and leaned softly against the stone wall.

Huang Yueying turned her back to Zhou Tai and left: "Zhou Tai, it's useless to think too much, long pain is better than short pain." In my heart, I thought of the person who judged people by their appearance, and he was really blind when he couldn't see so many benefits.

"It's just that soon, you won't be lonely down there, and many people will come down to accompany you, many people." Huang Yueying said faintly, and at the same time clenched her pink fists, as if she had made a lot of determination, and as if she had strengthened her belief again.

"Report, the clan rebellion in the city, more than a dozen rebels, ranging from dozens to hundreds, are killing the county government."

"Report, Dongcheng has been breached by Lu Meng, and General Ma is making the last resistance."

After repeated urgent reports, Dongcheng was finally broken by the Jiangdong Army, Huang Yueying's expression twisted, and he said in a deep voice: "Order Jiang Wan to retreat immediately from the county government, order Ma Xiaozhong to retreat immediately, and after the whole army repels the last attack of the Jiangdong Army, prepare to retreat to Xicheng." ”

"Won't the food and money be moved?" Ma Dazhong said.

"Do you want money or death?"

Huang Yueying personally raised her sword to kill the enemy, blocked a wave of ferocious attacks of the Jiangdong Army, and led the whole army to retreat to Xicheng around the county capital, and joined Ma Xiaozhong on the way.

"You go first, give me a sword, and I'll come to the back of the palace." Zhou Tai said loudly.

Huang Yueying threw his sword to Zhou Tai with a flick of his hand, but he didn't order him to break it, and signaled to the soldiers around him, the soldiers of the Sichuan army had already been instructed, and shouted loudly: "The grain and the letter are all in Beicheng, first come, first served." ”

The rebels from all walks of life were immediately in chaos, and they turned their spearheads and rushed towards the northern city, disrupting Lü Meng's army, and Lü Meng brought not many soldiers and horses in order to control the city defense, and was immediately overwhelmed by the rebels and could no longer pursue.

Huang Yueying led less than 10,000 people to escape from the city in embarrassment.

The Jiangdong army won a big victory, Zhou Yu entered the city, and first there was a war with the Shi army, and the Shi clan miscellaneous soldiers who came to grab the money were crushed at the touch of a button, and almost all surrendered, but the chaos in the city had risen, Zhou Yu did not dare to pursue without authorization, so he could only settle the city defense first, anyway, Huang Yueying was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and Jiangling was the top priority.

Jiangdong will enter the Nanjun County Palace, and Zhou Yu will arrange the city defense.

Zhou Yu said loudly: "What we have to do now is to win over the clans in the city, consolidate the city defense, five days later, the troops will send to Xiangyang, take advantage of Zhang Liao and Yan Yan to confront Nanyang, Jingbei clan rebellion, take Xiangfan, the entire Jingzhou, is my lord's territory." ”

"Governor Shenwu." The generals said in unison.

Lu Meng snorted: "These clans. It's really hateful, if it weren't for the chaos in the city that they caused, I would raise my own troops to pursue it, and I would have beheaded Huang Yueying, and I would be ashamed of Xue Huarong. ”

Zhou Yu raised his hand and said: "Don't regret it, how can the eldest husband be blinded by a momentary humiliation, and Liu Zhang will die." Liu Xunru is in power, and internal troubles are indispensable, waiting for us to settle in Jingzhou. Take Yizhou directly, and when the time comes, it will compete with Cao Cao in the north and south, and the world will be my Jiangdong, not to mention a Huang Yueying. ”

Pan Zhang said: "The governor is invincible, I originally thought that Huang Yueying could hold out for a few days, but I didn't expect to be defeated so soon, with the governor here, what is Huang Yueying, I will definitely be able to seize the world for the lord." Achieve hegemony. ”

"Hahaha." The generals laughed.

Zhou Yu was also smiling. But he suddenly frowned: "The governor didn't expect Huang Yueying to be defeated so quickly, it stands to reason that the Sichuan army still has the will of the people in the Jiangling area, and it can mobilize the people to defend the city, why when we attack the city, there are only soldiers and no people?" ”

"I heard that Huang Yueying sent those people to spy on the Shi clan, and the Sichuan army has a rule that anyone who denounces the rebellion of the Shi clan. can get land money rewards, which is really ridiculous and generous, and coaxes those foolish people to really believe it. A civil official laughed, with a smile on his face and an unfathomable and profound posture.

"That's not right." Zhou Yu's expression twisted: "When we entered the city, the clan had already rebelled, and there was no conflict with those young people, which means that when we broke through the city, what we encountered in the city was all, Jiangling has a large population, and this number should definitely not be a normal number...... Not good. ”

Zhou Yu was suddenly startled, and all the generals became solemn, Zhou Yu said: "Come on, go and check the flow of the river immediately, and report it quickly." ”

"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.

Lu Mengyu said: "The Metropolitan Governor is too worried, the Metropolitan Governor has taught me that you must know the time and geography of the war, and now it is the shower season, and Jiangling is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the terrain is low and on the plain, so it is indeed possible to suffer from water attacks."

But when I was in Dongcheng, I had already investigated the water level of the Yangtze River, and there was nothing abnormal, although there were many lakes in this vicinity, none of them had enough water to flood into Jiangling, not to mention. Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangling City now, Huang Yueying is crazy. ”

"Lu Meng has made great progress, and what he said is good." Zhou Yu nodded, but he still felt that it was wrong, why didn't Huang Yueying defend the city with all her might?

Two hours later, the soldier came and reported: "Governor, we have checked the water level of the river, and we have gone up the river in the dark, and we have not found anything unusual. ”

"What about Huang Yueying's troops?"

"The people who migrated from Jiangling entered Zigui one after another, and the Sichuan army deployed defenses in the steep places around Yiling Xiling."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was indeed too worried.

……

Next night.

Huang Yueying took Ma Dazhong, Ma Xiaozhong and Zhou Tai to the outside of Xicheng City, Huang Yueying immediately ordered the soldiers to divide into two roads, and Ma Xiaozhong took 7,000 people into Yiling Road. With a thousand elite soldiers, he secretly turned to the northeast of Gangneung.

On the way, Huang Yueying said to Zhou Tai: "I have already been defeated, why are you still following me, I gave you that sword, just to set you free, you should leave." ”

"It's because you're defeated that I can't go." Zhou Tai said a word, and there was no intention of looking back.

Ma Dazhong said: "Strategist, where are we going?" Do you want to go back to Xiangyang? But just now, the way back to Xiangyang has passed. ”

"The battle is not over yet, what is Xiangyang?"

The generals were stunned, and they didn't know what Huang Yueying meant.

Huang Yueying took people and went up a mountain bag in the dark, the front was full of dense forests, between the mountain bags and the dense forests, there were patches of paddy fields, but no crops were planted, everything was silent in the dark, only the waves of the paddy fields were faintly visible.

"What is this place?" Ma Dazhong asked.

The generals didn't know what Huang Yueying was doing here overnight, if she was discovered by the Jiangdong Army, it would be very troublesome.

Huang Yueying looked at those fields and said, "General Ma, do you remember the Wuxi barbarians a few months ago?" ”

"Of course I remember, I escorted them from Wuling to Jiangling."

"These fields are the ones they owned."

Ma Dazhong looked at Huang Yueying sullenly, every time he listened to Huang Yueying speak, he felt that there was no match, the woman was really illogical, I didn't know what she wanted to express. Do you want to take a final look at these hard-earned Yamadas?

"What a place." Huang Yueying looked at this place with emotion, although it was very dark, but she was used to the darkness, she could still see things on summer nights, the mountains and rivers here had a strong sense of hierarchy, and the air was fresh, which was indeed good.

"You know what?" Huang Yueying said: "The Classic of Mountains and Seas says that a long, long time ago, this was a sea, and then the terrain changed and slowly became a lake, which is Yunmengze. ”

"Yun Mengze? Isn't it south of the river? Zhou Tai wondered.

"That's just a part of the pre-Qin Yunmengze, the original Yunmengze, south of Changsha, north of Hanshui, east into the public security, west of the Sanjiang estuary, Huarong Chuyang Wulin, all deposited at the bottom of the lake, Yun Mengze through the north and south of the river, thousands of miles long, today's Yunmengze has long been no eight hundred miles, we are talking about eight hundred miles of Yunmeng, is the original Yunmengze."

The generals took a breath of cold air, never expecting that the land under their feet turned out to be a former lake, and it was hard to imagine that there was such a large body of water located inland.

Huang Yueying continued: "When I opened the country of the Han Dynasty, this area gradually uplifted, and Yun Mengze's first mate shrank, until today's appearance, Yun Mengze south of the river has become the last big lake, and north of the river, countless lakes and swamps have been formed. ”

Huang Yueying said that eight or nine are not far from ten, here in ancient times, it is indeed a vast ocean, and in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Yunmengze Lake with history was gradually formed, in fact, the formation of the Jianghan Plain is the shrinkage of the ancient sea, after the ancient sea became Yunmengze, Jiangling City inherited the fertile land, and gradually developed.

After that, the three rivers continued to scour, and a large amount of sediment was deposited, making the Jianghan Plain higher and higher, and Yunmengze continued to shrink, and a large area of land appeared in Jiangbei during the Qin and Han dynasties.

Cao Cao defeated Chibi, and Huarong Road could already set foot through, but the road was muddy, and there were depressions everywhere, which meant that this place had been unearthed, and Yunmengze moved to the southeast.

After the Three Kingdoms, Yunmengze continued to degrade, and in modern times, there are not many lakes, Dongting Lake, Honghu Lake, Changhu Lake and other large lakes in Hunan and Hubei, almost all of which are Yunmengze relics.

After listening to Huang Yueying's explanation of Yun Mengze's history, Ma Dazhong still didn't know what Huang Yueying was going to talk about, after a bloody day and running such a long way, now he just wanted to sleep for a while.

Ma Dazhong found a stone and slept against it, Huang Yueying saw it, and said to the soldiers: "Let's sleep first, and after two hours, prepare for battle." ”

"Huh?" Ma Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "Military Division, the city is occupied by the Jiangdong Army, what else are we fighting, you won't want us to die, right?" ”

The generals also looked at Huang Yueying, there are only a thousand people here, even if everyone is one as ten, they are not the opponent of Zhou Yu's 30,000 army, not to mention that Zhou Yu has also surrendered so many troops. (To be continued.) )
