readx;

The judge woke up from the nightmare, turned over and sat up, drenched in cold sweat, his thin and bony chest rose and fell violently, his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't breathe in the air, his face turned purple, and his throat made a "ho-ho" sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The judge Rong who was accompanying him opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the judge looked like he was about to die, he was so frightened that he was drowsy, and he quickly got up and stroked the back of the trial hard, and after a while, the trial slowly quieted down, his body was wet and cold, and he couldn't feel any temperature.

"Ho-ho-ho-" The judge dragged a long voice, laboriously got down from the marching couch, and moved towards the tent door, and Xun Rong hurriedly asked, "Uncle, are you going to leave the account?" ”

The judge gasped and nodded. He nodded, and even his entire upper body was shaking, which made Xianrong very worried that he would fall to the ground all of a sudden and never wake up again. He carefully supported him: "Then you wait, I'll get you a dress, it's raining outside, it's a little cold." ”

As he spoke, Xianrong tentatively let go of the trial, but before he could completely let go, he only felt a tightness in his wrist, which hurt his heart and lungs. He turned his head in surprise, looked at the hand at his wrist that was as thin and powerful as two eagle claws, raised his head happily, and was just about to congratulate the judge on his improved health, and he had strength in his hand, but he saw the eyes of the judge staring like two copper bells.

"Next...... Rain? The voice of the trial seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth, revealing an indescribable chill, which made the trial Rong shiver, and suddenly he was enveloped by an ominous feeling. He stood there blankly, nodding. stammered: "Yes, I just got down, and it was quite big." Ground...... It's all water. ”

"Oh my God—" The judge's voice sounded like it came from hell, and his face was contorted as if he was about to laugh. It's like crying, it's very weird, it's also very ridiculous. But Xian Rong couldn't laugh, he looked at the trial in a daze, and the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger. He knew that the judge would only have such an expression when he was frightened, and the thing that could make the judge frightened was by no means an existence that could be resisted by manpower.

"Lord...... What about the father-in-law? The judge turned around. He staggered out, and as soon as he came out of the tent, he was drenched in the torrential rain. Xian Rong was startled, no wonder he didn't think about it anymore, he rushed out with an arrow, snatched two hats from the head of the guard at the door of the tent, and put one on the head of the judge. One is worn on one's head.

The judge ignored him, rushed forward two steps, his legs weakened, and he fell to his knees, his knees hitting the ground and splashing the water on the ground everywhere. Fortunately, the rain soaked the soil. It didn't hurt very much, but he didn't feel any pain at all now, he grabbed Shen Rong's arm and pointed in the direction of the Chinese army: "Quick!" Fast! Host...... Lord! ”

Xianrong understood this time, and without saying a word, he bent down and picked up the trial, and flew away in the direction of the Chinese army.

Yuan Shao, wearing a hat and a robe, was directing his soldiers to move his Chinese army's tent to the high ground. He was lying on the marching couch, thinking about tomorrow's war, thinking that the military rations were about to run out, but he couldn't see any hope when he met Tian Feng, and he regretted that he didn't listen to Tian Fenghe's suggestion in the first place, and he was worried that he would be hit by Tian Feng after seeing Tian Feng, and he was full of sorrow, and the more he thought about it, the more annoying he became. Tian Feng is not a judge, he will say anything without scruples, as soon as he thinks of returning defeated, he may be humiliated by Tian Feng in front of the generals, Yuan Shao's face is red, and he can't wait to find a crack to get into. Then he thought that tomorrow the soldiers would have to fight with Cao Cāo with hunger, and his heart was even more chaotic, and he sighed for a long time, and couldn't sleep for a long time.

Just as he was tossing and turning, it rained heavily, and the pouring rain instantly poured out the sultry air, bringing a rare coolness. Yuan Shao's mood was clear, and his troubles were gone. Unfortunately, the rain was so heavy that the tent quickly flooded, and he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he remembered to move it.

was moving, Xianrong came with the trial on his back, and the trial Rong walked very fast, splashing all the way, and the trial thought he was walking slowly, and kept patting the back of the trial. When Yuan Shao saw it, he hurriedly greeted him, and just as he was about to speak, the judge grabbed his hand and said breathlessly: "Lord...... Lord, big ...... Big things are not good......"

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows, his face had not had time to change, and the sentence that he had been holding back for a long time made him almost lose his soul.

"The Flood...... Lord, beware of the flood...... On the high ground on the opposite bank, Cao Cāo was dressed in a single suit, with his arms open, and his bare hands, running like a child in the heavy rain. He raised his hands and shouted frantically: "Go down, go down, go down a little bigger, go down a little bigger!" ”

Dong Zhao and Chen Gong stood in the rain, laughing loudly regardless of their image. They stretched out their hands, and let the rain hit their palms, but their hearts were about to fly.

Chen Gong put his hand on his eyebrows, squinted at Cao Cāo who was running in the rain, and asked loudly: "Gongren, this rain is falling well, according to your experience, how long can it rain?" ”

The sound of rain was loud, even if it was close at hand, Chen Gong's voice was very loud, but Dong Zhao couldn't hear it. However, as soon as he saw the smile on Chen Gong's face, he could also guess what Chen Gong was asking. He also replied with a roar: "It doesn't take too much, as long as it can go down like this until tomorrow morning, at most half a day's work, the water level will definitely rise sharply." He pointed to the camps of the Yuan army, which had already begun to move, "Unless they have wings, he will definitely not be able to fly back." ”

"yes, yes." Chen Gong was overjoyed and nodded again and again. Because they expected that there might be heavy rain, when moving the position, Cao Jun was fully prepared, they dug a deep trench outside the camp, and before they could cut the wooden stakes, they planted a lot of spears and halberds in the trench. It will not be so easy for the Yuan army to attack to avoid the flood, and they will pay a heavy price. Even if they were willing to fill the trench with corpses, they would not be able to do so, and with such a large amount of water, the corpses would float on the surface of the water and could not sink to the bottom of the trench. It is even more difficult to get back to the south bank, as the pontoon bridge will be washed away as soon as the water level rises, and no matter how good your swimming skills are, you can't guarantee a safe swim back to the south bank.

A rainstorm, with a power of more than 100,000 troops, could destroy Yuan Shao's army overnight, and wash away all Cao Cāo's troubles and worries. Next, the only thing he had to worry about was that once Yuan Shao died in the water, it would not be easy to find him. There are not enough boats, in this case, they can only wait for the water to recede before acting, and by that time, Yuan Shao may have been washed out for dozens or hundreds of miles.

Chen Gong tried his best to keep his eyes open, looking through the dense rain curtain at the panicked Yuan army camp. Yuan's army camped on both sides of the Jishui River, and although the flood had not yet arrived, the torrential rain that had only been half an hour had left them standing in the water. In the face of this sudden situation, the soldiers of Yuan Jun, whose morale had been low, became even more confused, and the frightened shouts could be heard from so far away.

The rain grew denser and more rapid, whipping the earth like a whip. Dazzling lightning swept across the sky, and a muffled thunder came from far and near, rumbling like thousands of horses galloping, carrying the power and might that made people frightened, so that everyone did not dare to have any resistance in front of his power.

The rain fell on the ground, washing the ground under his feet, and the earth that had been torn apart by the scorching sun and trampled by the horses' hooves, and the dusty land, which had been trampled by countless feet, was now muddy, turning into streams of muddy water, and flowing down to the lower places. Most of the weeds have been trampled into mud, adding a bit of green to the dull yellow sè.

Some of the soldiers of the Cao army were wearing robes, some were wearing clothes, and some simply put their shields on their heads, stood on a high place, and looked at the Yuan army camp in the distance with schadenfreude. They knew that after this rain, there was basically no need to fight this battle, even if the Yuan army could still have the courage to charge, in this weather, they would not be able to organize a strict offensive, they just stood in the camp, watched those Yuan troops stumble and rush in front of them, and then easily kill them.

The bloody battle of less than two days made each of them feel the cruelty of the battle and the fragility of life. No one wants to die in battle, no one wants to fight with Yuan Jun who wants to escape from the road, no one is willing to give their lives for that meager pension, but they add a lot of credit to the generals' book.

"The sky has eyes—" I don't know which soldier suddenly roared loudly. His cry was soon echoed by many soldiers, and the cry of "the sky has eyes" soon resounded throughout the land, and even the sound of rain and thunder could not hide it.

Cao Cāo crossed his waist with one hand and wiped the rain from his face with the other, listening to the shouts of the whole camp, and suddenly fell silent. He listened for a moment, then suddenly turned back to Chen Gong and Dong Zhao and said, "You see, Cangtian has abandoned the Yuan family, completely abandoned the Yuan family. ”

Chen Gong smiled and didn't speak yet. Dong Zhao had already bowed down and responded: "General, the people take food as the sky. If he has burned the crops of the people, he is acting against the heavens, and how can the heavens tolerate him? ”

The corners of Cao Cāo's mouth twitched, he didn't believe much in the words of heaven's will, just like Yuan Shao used the sentence "Zhan Wu to stop, in whose house" as a proof of the Yuan family's providence, he didn't believe Dong Zhao's current words. If you really have an eye, why didn't it rain when you first tried to set fire? Now that Yuan Kui has surrendered, Yuan Shao is at the end of his rope, even if it doesn't rain, Yuan Shao has no way out, could it be that God also sees the wind and steers the rudder, and when he sees that the Yuan family's strength is not good, he begins to abandon the Yuan family?

However, he also knew that just because he could not believe it did not mean that others did not believe it. On the contrary, there are many people who believe in the Mandate of Heaven, whether he is a Confucian or a white man, whether he is poor or rich, whether he is wise or stupid, the people who believe in the Mandate of Heaven are always the vast majority.

"Gongren, Gongtai, you say, where is the providence?" Cao Cāo returned to the tent, and Dong Zhao hurriedly handed over a hat of his own. Cao Cāo took it, put it on his head, and while squeezing the water on his clothes, he asked seemingly casually: "Providence, is it in Luoyang, or in Jiangling?" ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while, but Dong Zhao replied: "General, the will of heaven is the will of the people, the will of the people is in Luoyang, and the will of heaven is in Luoyang." Public opinion is in Gangneung, and the will of heaven is in Gangneung. ”

Cao Cāo took a breath, and after a moment, slowly spit it out, nodded, and stepped into the tent. rq
