At night, the water level in the river gradually rose, and Sun Sheng heard a report from his subordinates that the camp tents built in the lowlands on the river were flooded, and the soldiers had nowhere to rest. At this time, he realized that things were not good, and he didn't care that he hadn't rested for two days and one night, so he dragged his tired body and rushed to the front line along the river to inspect again.

At this time, the area of Jiangzhongzhou has been reduced by more than half, the camp tent and baggage have been washed away by the water, and the mudflats that have been softened by the water are as difficult to walk as swamps. A large number of sleepy-eyed Soochow soldiers had to support each other before they could barely stand in knee-high water, looking at their commander blankly and helplessly. Fortunately, the weather and river water at the end of September were not cold, otherwise these people would have been lucky not to get sick if they stood in the water for a while longer, and how could they still have combat effectiveness.

Sun Sheng hurriedly asked the lieutenant to settle the soldiers, and he himself boarded the boat to inspect the dock on the water. The dock on the island was more than a meter above the water, but by the time he arrived, it was already level with the river, and it was crumbling under the impact of the river, and if more people walked on it, I was afraid that it would collapse immediately.

Sun Sheng already understood at this time that what Zhang He relied on was the surging river, and because his side was not prepared in advance, he was quite passive at this time, and he could only be led by Cao Jun by the nose when he saw the move.

The water village on the Jiangzhong continent of the Eastern Wu army is facing north, facing the direction of Jiangling City, so it is here that Sun Sheng inspected for the first time, the gate of the dock is still intact, but it has been flooded by half of the river, and only the top of less than half a meter is still on the water. Obviously, during the period when Sun Sheng came over, the water level of the Yangtze River rose a lot, and the dock gradually lost its effectiveness.

Sun Sheng frowned and looked at the river in front of him, Zhang He's army had stopped attacking and disappeared without a trace, this abnormal phenomenon made him even more uneasy.

At this time, there was a sound of rushing water in the upstream direction, and it seemed that a large number of boats were going down the river, Sun Sheng was shocked, and immediately understood where the missing Cao Jun had gone. Realizing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered everyone to set up a defense in the direction of the upper west, but after all, it was a step too late, and only to hear the sound of the rushing boats suddenly turn into a series of dull crashing sounds, even if they didn't have to see it with their own eyes, everyone knew what was happening.

A moment later, just as Sun Sheng was directing the fleet to the west of Jiangzhongzhou, a dozen huge log stakes floated upstream, sharpened their heads, and plunged into the ships in the dock. At that moment, there were a few unlucky boats, and the waterline of the belly of the ship was knocked out of a large hole, and the river water was frantically poured in, and it was expected that it would sink in a short time.

At the same time, a large number of fragments of wood drifted behind the stakes, and on closer inspection, they were fragments of the dock fence to the west. Sun Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and the loss of a few ships was small, but if the dock was broken through, then the west of Jiangzhongzhou would probably be Cao Jun's beach-grabbing point.

At this moment, regardless of the loss of the ships, Sun Sheng ordered the fleet to speed up its sailing upstream, and be sure to rush to the aid before Zhang He's large army landed. However, the speed of sailing against the current was not comparable to the other party's downstream, so when they rushed upstream, the Western Front defense of the Eastern Wu Army had completely collapsed, and even if reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult to recover the decline.

What Sun Sheng has to do now is to drag Zhang He regardless of losses, at least until Zhuge Jin's reinforcements arrive. He immediately asked all the men and horses on Xiaozhou to move closer to the upper west direction, so as to resist Cao's army and not let them take a single step.

At this time, Zhang He was supervising the battle on a ship that had been anchored, and he admired the group of people led by the counselor Shixin. Needless to say, Shixin and that Ma Qiang are full of intrigues, and many novel ideas are probably nothing more than Guo Fengxiao's next life.

In terms of leading the army, the morale is very affinity, not only among the colleagues, but also has a personal charm that others do not have, and often a few words can make the morale of the surrounding soldiers high. Such a person leads his troops, and if he fights under the same conditions, he must first prevail over others.

And although that Ma Qiang looks rough, he knows astronomy and geography, not only the sand table made is comparable to handicrafts, but even the ancestor Cao Ying can't put it down, and the eyesight of the sky is even more vicious, one is accurate. These two points are necessary knowledge for marching and fighting, but not every general has them, but all of them have this quality and are famous generals and good generals.

Although no one is perfect, the two of them are slightly lacking in martial arts and tactical details, but with that person Wei, these three people together are an immortal handsome talent. As long as this combination does not disperse and there is a well-trained army in their hands, how many things in the world can be difficult to defeat them.

In addition, there is also a healing saint named Zisha in this team, and that kung fu is even more amazing, it actually cured all the hidden dangers that Zhang He had fallen from years of battle, and even made his body and bones much tougher, and it would not be a problem to continue his career as a horse for another decade or two.

Zhang He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, although he had untied the knot in his heart because of Huang Zhi, he still sighed for the withering of veterans of his generation.

Lejin went the earliest, when it was still the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218); Needless to say, the old boss Xiahou Yuan died in Dingjun Mountain in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an; Yu Ban also passed away last year, his later years were the most unfortunate, Jian'an 24 years unfortunately encountered a flood and fell in Guan Yu, ended up in a late festival, and finally died depressed after returning to China with humiliation.

The great Sima Cao Ren and the former general Zhang Liao are still alive, although they are both in their early fifties, but because of the accumulation of many injuries in the body after years of war, their health is not very good. Zhang He also pondered waiting until after the war to introduce Zisha to treat the two of them, but he didn't want to wait until after the war to introduce Zisha to treat the stubborn diseases of the two, but he didn't want to think that in just a few months, Cao Pi's southern expedition to the Eastern Wu finally caused two famous veterans of Cao Ying to die of illness on the frontline battlefield, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

After this battle, Cao Ying's older generation of good generals left only Zhang He and Xu Huang, the only two of them remained, and after they returned to the west, Cao Wei's military power fell into the control of Sima Yi, and most of the good generals of the new generation were his protégés, and the generals of the Cao family and Xiahou clan, who were in high positions by virtue of nepotism, were all mediocre, and their influence in the army was far less than that of the first-line generals.

After Cao Ren's death, the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan still had a veteran who could fight well, and that was Cao Hong. How could he have a grudge with Cao Pi in his early years, not only was he not used by Emperor Wei Wen, but he was even imprisoned.

It can be said that if Cao Ying's descendants have his strength and can employ people regardless of their previous suspicions, the Sima clan will have no loopholes to exploit. The cronyistic Cao family finally declined step by step, and finally handed over the great cause created by Cao Ying to the Sima family.
