When Cao Cao quietly led his troops to retreat, the Han army carried out two rounds of fierce attacks, after these two rounds of fierce attacks, the large heavenly maiden scattered flowers brought by Ao Lie in the army have all been used up, coupled with the effect of a large number of red-clothed crossbows, the city head of Wei City has been a little overwhelmed, and the city walls in some sections have collapsed, revealing the internal scene of the city head.

Pang Tong immediately found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Ao Lie: "King Yan, the situation is not right. Tongguan is full of banners on the head of the city, but the actual number of people walking around is not much, and they all think that it is not that our army's onslaught has completely suppressed Cao's army, but that Cao Cao is ready to escape, and the people who remain in the city are just some outcasts! ”

Listening to Pang Tong's words, Ao Lie gradually sobered up from the furious killing, his reddened eyes gradually returned to their former clarity, and he looked carefully at the city for a while, and said with some remorse: "The prime minister is right, Cao Cao must have slipped away." It's hateful, so many heavenly maidens scattered flowers have been wasted in vain. Command the whole army, launch a strong attack, within half an hour, you must take Wei County! ”

In response, under Ao Lie's death order, all units of the Han army marched forward bravely and cooperated with each other to launch a strong attack on Wei City, wave after wave of offensives, like a tide of continuous impact on the walls of Wei City, making Liu Ye, who stayed at the head of the city, feel very difficult. Originally, as a broken army, Liu Ye did not have many people in his hands, at best there were only more than 3,000 people, originally he wanted to consume two more rounds of ammunition of the Han army, then led the troops to retreat, I didn't expect Pang Tong to see through his intentions so quickly, Ao Lie commanded the Han army to launch a strong attack, if Liu Ye retreats now, it will completely lose the meaning of the broken queen, it is estimated that the main force led by Cao Cao has not even completely walked out of the city gate on the other side.

In order for Cao Cao to retreat smoothly, Liu Ye had to grit his teeth and stay. With just more than 3,000 soldiers in his hands, he fought to the death with the Han army, trying to buy Cao Cao more time. However, Liu Ye is not a military general after all, although he is an extremely good strategist, but the on-the-spot command is still a little lacking, not to mention that he is still facing a wolf and a tiger Han elite soldiers!

After a period of desperate resistance led by Liu Ye, Wei City was finally lost, and more than 3,000 Cao troops under Liu Ye were all killed by the Han army who climbed the ladder to the top of the city, and Liu Ye himself was only spared. But his right leg was also slashed heavily, and a wound more than a foot long and deep to the bone made Liu Ye temporarily lose the ability to stand, fell in a pool of blood, and reluctantly became a prisoner of the Han army.

When Ao Lie stepped to the head of Weicheng City, only three quarters of an hour had passed since he ordered the storming of Weicheng, and the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty had taken Weicheng a quarter of an hour earlier than expected.

Ao Lie stepped on the corpses and blood flowing everywhere in front of Liu Ye, stretched out his hand and pulled out the Chixiao Divine Sword, and put it on Liu Ye's neck. He asked in a cold voice, "Where did Cao Cao go?" ”

Liu Ye raised his head and glanced at Ao Lie, and said with a smile: "King Wei is now in a safe place, and King Yan doesn't have to bother looking for it, it's too late." And Ye won't tell King Yan. ”

"Do you think that if you don't say it, this king won't be able to find Cao Cao's whereabouts? Don't forget, the shadows under the command of this king are pervasive. There is nothing in heaven and earth that they do not know! Since you won't say it, then go to Hades. This king is only afraid that when you go to the Nine Springs, you will have no shame to see your ancestors! Ao Lie said coldly, while slowly raising the Chixiao Divine Sword, there was a possibility that a sword would be cut down at any time, and Liu Ye would be killed on the spot.

Behind Ao Lie, Guan Yu suddenly came out of the crowd, came to Ao Lie's side and said: "King Qiyan, Zi Yang had a relationship with Guan before, Guan knew that although Zi Yang was committed to Cao Ying, he was not really working for Cao Cao, he just missaw Cao Cao at the beginning. Please ask King Yan for permission and let Guan persuade Ziyang, if Ziyang insists on refusing to tell Cao Cao's whereabouts, it will not be too late to kill. ”

Hearing this, Ao Lie's murderous aura on his body was temporarily retracted, his right hand was raised, the Chixiao Divine Sword was returned to the sheath, and he whispered: "Twenty breaths, start the timer now." ”

Guan Yu clasped his fists at Ao Lie and said, "Thank you King Yan." Then, Guan Yu walked quickly to Liu Ye's side, squatted down, tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, and helped Liu Ye bandage the injury on his right leg, while gently persuading: "Ziyang, in the past, you once said to Guan Mou that you and I were not the master at that time, but now that you say that Guan Mou has been transferred to the regent, it can be seen how far-reaching your knowledge is, in this case, why should Ziyang know that Cao Cao is not the person who can achieve your heart's desire, but still serve him?" ”

Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said in a low voice: "In the past, Ye thought that King Wei was a monarch who really considered the people of the Han Dynasty, so he would not avoid infamy and serve him, but later he gradually found that King Wei's ambition had exceeded the limit of the convention, Ye realized that Ye had seen the wrong person, although he had the intention to leave Great Wei, but he also felt that although King Wei was suspicious of Ye, but after all, he was not thin on Ye, so he never left Great Wei, that's all, it was not that Ye couldn't see King Wei's heart. As for today's Ye regardless of the sword and axe, it is just to repay the kindness of King Wei. Alas, the matter has come to this, Ye has already repaid the kindness of the King of Wei, can no longer be obsessed, let the people of the Han Dynasty suffer miserably, King Yan, King Wei He has withdrawn to Yangping Pass under the advice of Sima Yi, and on the way to retreat, dig the Yellow River, ready to flood the counties south of Jizhou into an ocean, please make preparations for King Yan as soon as possible. ”

Liu Ye's last sentence made a series of gasps appear among the people behind Ao Lie! Digging up the Yellow River and diverting water to flood Jizhou is to lose all conscience and put the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jizhou people in disregard! Even if the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Wei are two hostile forces, ordinary people are innocent, and in a war, why bother to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people as accessories?

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. This old saying, which has been passed down through the ages, reappeared in Ao Lie's mind. Lowering his head and taking a deep look at Liu Ye, Ao Lie opened his mouth and said: "Gu will spare your life today, not because you have an old relationship with Yun Chang, but because of your words, you saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Han people." From now on, you should do what you want, and don't let down the glory and responsibility that your family name brings you. ”

After speaking, Ao Lie no longer paid attention to Liu Ye, but turned to Pang Tong and said: "Prime Minister, you immediately assign people, while rectifying the order in the city, evacuating the masses to prevent accidents, and digging scattered canals outside the city, you must ensure that the water of the Yellow River will not cause waterlogging to the counties and counties of Jizhou, and you must personally go to find Cao Cao's whereabouts, find their water storage place, and destroy their earth-shattering conspiracy!" Otherwise, a certain shameless father who will say goodbye to my big man! ”

After the explanation, Ao Lie walked quickly to the city, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun followed, and the rest of the Wenchen generals stayed by Pang Tong's side, waiting for Pang Tong to assign specific matters. Just when Ao Lie's figure was about to disappear into the city, with the support of Guan Yu, Liu Ye, who was barely standing up, suddenly said to Ao Lie's back: "King Yan! Ye has lived in Wei County for a long time, and is quite familiar with the terrain in Wei County, so he asked King Yan for permission, so that Ye can also do his part for the people of the Han Dynasty, and allow Ye to participate in the ranks of digging scattered canals. ”

Ao Lie's footsteps paused, and after only two blinks, he resumed his previous movement, and said without looking back: "This is your duty, it is the duty of every Han person, and there is no reason to refuse." ”

When Ao Lie and the three of them walked down the city, Guan Yu smiled and Liu Ye said: "Ziyang, King Yan has already regarded you as his own person, only in front of his own people, he will call himself so-and-so, not call himself a prince." Stretching out his hand and patting Liu Ye's shoulder hard, Guan Yu continued to smile: "Ziyang, welcome to join the Northern Han Dynasty, we will be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the future." ”

Being slapped by Guan Yu's slap, Liu Ye grinned and smiled bitterly: "Yun Chang, do you dare to work harder?" Shoot Ye to death, who will tell you where it is suitable to dig a loose drain? ”

Pang Tong walked up with a smile and said to Guan Yu and Liu Ye: "Welcome Ziyang to join." But now is not the time for idle talk, the top priority is that we still have to dig up enough scattered canals as soon as possible, and there will be Lao Ziyang in this matter. ”

Not to mention that Ao Lie took Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to find out where Sima Yi was going to dig the Yellow River, just that Pang Tong and others, under the guidance of Liu Ye, dispersed into dozens of teams of men and horses, and began to dig scattered canals in Wei County. Excavation of this kind of work, sounds very simple, but really operated, but it is by no means an easy task, Jiuqu Yellow River Wanlisha, flowing through Wei County, or flowing through the Yellow River section of Jizhou, is like twists and turns, each turning point after being excavated, will form a different flow direction, causing waterlogging disasters in different places in Jizhou, once the waterlogging disaster really occurs, in this era of underdeveloped medical conditions, it is likely to leave a series of sequelae, such as plague, etc., It is not just the superficial loss of fertile land and houses that have been washed away and people's lives and safety threatened, but a series of sequelae, and even the possibility that the place that has been affected by the flood disaster will become a ruin that is difficult to find people and animals in a decade or more.

Therefore, when digging the scattered canal, Pang Tong and others were particularly careful, and the excavation of each scattered canal had to be carefully calculated to ensure that the water of the Yellow River flowing in different directions could be incorporated into the scattered canal and led to uninhabited places or other rivers. And just in case, Pang Tong also sent a flying pigeon to Yanjing in the name of the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, asking one of the two people, Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing, to come to Wei County as soon as possible, once the flood disaster really happened, it would be good to control the plague, so as not to let the plague walk to the hinterland of Jizhou.

In short, in the next three days, Pang Tong and others were very busy, every Han army soldier, did not want to see the land flooded, the tragedy of compatriots being drowned in front of them, under the unity of the city, three days later, fifty-six wide scattered canals were dug out, at sunset on the third day, Pang Tong ordered to abandon Wei City, all the residents who had not yet evacuated, along with the Han army soldiers, came to a high mountain near Wei City, everyone silently waited for the coming peace or bad luck.
