In the two days after meeting Huang Zhong, Cao Cao's Jingzhou naval army was dispatched from all directions to explore places where the river could be crossed.

The drought has caused the water level of the Yangtze River to drop severely, and the river has shrunk a lot. Originally, in Jiangxia, the widest position of the river was more than ten miles, and the narrowest place was five or six miles wide.

This makes the Jingzhou Navy stay on the river for a short time when crossing the river, plus the need to transport troops back and forth, and then the Yangzhou Navy will have enough time to reflect.

But it was still a dry season, and Cao Cao didn't need so much time when he crossed the river. Fortunately, there are advantages and disadvantages, the water level drops, and when the boat crosses the river and docks, it will run aground in a relatively distant position, and the soldiers need to advance on the soft, dry and cracked tidal flats after disembarking.

In some places, after the water level dropped, there were even cliff-like slopes, which made Cao Cao have fewer options to cross the river.

In the past two days, there have been many frictions between the Jingzhou Navy and the Yangzhou Navy led by Gan Ning on the Yangtze River, and there have been hundreds of battles large and small, but it is Gan Ning who has the upper hand.

The Jingzhou Navy has been supporting the elderly for too long, and Gan Ning, who was born as a water thief, is best at small-scale water battles, so there is no problem at all to deal with the Jingzhou Navy Army.

"Sure enough, it came." On this day, tens of thousands of bamboo tubes were thrown in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and inside were Cao Cao's war letters to persuade him to surrender. In history, Cao Cao also played this trick, and directly scared the civil and military officials of Wu into two factions.

At that time, Sun Quan had not long taken over from Sun Ce, and most of the civil and military forces in Yangzhou were from families, so they would only consider their own interests, so they kept dragging Sun Quan back.

However, this move will not work on the current [Lingyun Palace], of course the generals under Jiang Zhuo's command like to fight, where can the military merits come from without war?

And Wenchen? If Chen Gong was willing to surrender to Cao Cao, in history and in his previous life, he would not have been beheaded by Cao Cao for refusing to surrender. Lu Su is the main battle faction in history and in the game.

However, Zhang Zhao, the historical surrender faction, was alone, even if he had any thoughts in his heart, he didn't talk to Jiang Zhuo. Coupled with the fact that his loyalty is full value, Jiang Zhuo is certainly not worried about anything else.

That kind of ultra-rare props that can control NPCs, such as the [Heart Control Gu] used by Jiang Zhuo, can only take effect if they are not loyal to NPCs. If it is data-based, NPCs with more than 75 loyalty points to the lord will be immune to such items.

Zang Ba had just defected to Cao Cao, and it was forced by the situation, he was sent to attack the city just after he surrendered, and it is conceivable how high his loyalty can be.

"Don't bother..."Jiang Zhuo was about to say domineeringly that he didn't need to care, but suddenly paused. Now after his territory has expanded to Lujiang County and Danyang County, there are also two families of Jiang and Zhu in the land. Although they are only separated, the family always only cares about the interests of the family, maybe they will want to do something to make meritorious contributions to the court?

The Lu family doesn't have to care, after being hit by Sun Ce and Hua Xin repeatedly, the strength of the Lu family is basically only connections.

The Zhu family is different, their land, business, and fame are all over Yangzhou. Jiang Zhuo had felt it when he was still a county guard, and many times he gave an order, which was not as useful as a word from the local Haoqiang.

After all, NPC farmers are illiterate settings, and they can't read announcements. And the scholars are in the hands of local heroes. Those powerful people felt that Jiang Zhuo's orders were hindering their interests, so they would misinterpret the meaning of the proclamation documents, or simply incite NPC residents to rebel against the government.

Those pride has been rooted in the local area for decades or even centuries, and some of the intelligent and rebellious residents have either been forced to die, or have been incorporated into private soldiers or tenants. There are only some foolish people left, and every day they listen to the landlord's family building another well for everyone, and sending grain and oil to a family that is about to starve to death, they feel that Haoqiang is a good person.

Obviously, sometimes Jiang Zhuo's orders are for the benefit of NPC residents, but they stand on Haoqiang's side and come against Jiang Zhuo, which makes people very helpless.

"Pay attention to the movements of our powerful underground families, as well as Sun Ce. Our side is not moved, but Sun Ce's side may not. He is already being driven to a dead end by us, and if Cao Cao is defeated this time, our next target will definitely be Sun Ce..."

Jiang Zhuo was explaining to Ye Xiaowen and Xiao Yuan in the study, but there was a sudden crackling sound outside.

This is the Hou Mansion, Jiang Zhuo immediately thought that someone had invaded, and if he could invade a place where he could hear the sound, it must have been very close.

"What are mosquitoes doing..."Jiang Zhuo stood up with some anger, he wasn't worried about his safety, but the Hou Mansion was the headquarters of the [Lingyun Palace]. If this place is attacked, where will the face of the [Lingyun Palace] be placed?

But before he could finish muttering, his face was filled with surprise.

The noise was not the sound of battle, but the sound of raindrops falling on the roof tiles with marbles, crisp and loud!

Rain, here!

The east wind that Jiang Zhuo was waiting for has also arrived!

"Quick, order Gan Ning to withdraw his troops immediately, and he must take all the ships back to the water village and tie them up tightly!

Summons officials everywhere, flood control, flood prevention!

Ordered all the troops, soldiers and horses to return to the camp, protect all the food and materials, and never be flooded, and the violators will be beheaded for public display! Jiang Zhuo gave the order excitedly, and Ye Xiaowen and Xiao Yuan were a little confused.

Even if a torrential rain is followed by a drought, it may not last long, right? What if Cao Cao raided when their soldiers and horses returned to the camp and the ships returned to the village?

This matter is very important, Ye Xiaowen conveyed the order to the cabinet through the air, and asked his own questions.

"Hehe... If Cao Cao dares to attack at this time, I will be very happy. Jiang Zhuo looked at the changing wind and clouds, and the sky became black and oppressive in the blink of an eye, and his heart was indescribably comfortable.

The plot or other things may be affected by his rebirth. But this historical drought and the floods that followed the drought could never have been affected by him.

Moreover, it is also very common for a major drought to be followed by a major flood, and Jiang Zhuo has made some preventive measures for this, and no one can say anything. At most, Jiang Zhuo was nervous and overly nervous, and then when the flood disaster really happened, they would only type "666" on the keyboard.

The rainstorm is finally coming, and this rainstorm will definitely make Cao Cao delay the pace of the attack. And the northern army he brought with him will be like the Battle of Chibi in history, because they stayed in the south for too long, so they were not adapted, and finally even derived into a plague.

In the Battle of Chibi, there were many reasons for Lao Cao's defeat, but the plague was definitely the main reason. It was because of the plague that Lao Cao couldn't wait any longer, so he launched a decisive battle in advance.

At this time, someone suddenly sent a plan of iron and wire, which was in line with his idea, and of course he immediately adopted it. Then the army of 800,000 was burned with a single fire.
