"Huh? Mr. Jeongnam thinks something is wrong? ”

Yuan Shang smiled and looked at the trial mate and asked.

"Since Cao Jun failed to attack the city, how could he use such a boring method?"

The judge voiced the question in his heart.

Yuan Shang glanced at Feng Ji and the others, and they all laughed.

"This proves that Cao Ah is incompetent and furious!"

Everyone laughed for a while, and seeing that the judge's expression was still serious, Yuan Shang said with a straight face,

"Mr. Jeongnam, don't worry, I will make people more vigilant."

"That's great!"

The judge nodded.

In the following period of time, Cao Jun did not attack the city again, but kept sending people to the front of the battle to scold.

Counting from Yuan Shang, including Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao, and even Yuan Shao's father Yuan Feng, the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Yuan family was almost scolded by Cao Jun.

However, Yuan Shang didn't care, he just ordered people to close the city gate tightly and couldn't defend it.

For a time, inside and outside the city, it was safe and sound.

On the other hand, Cao Cao, according to Yang Ling's suggestion, not only blocked the water inlet near Huanshui and built a dam to prepare to store rainwater, but also ordered a large army to start digging a waterway to divert the water of the Yellow River.

Yuan Shang in the city still didn't know anything about this, just spent every day drinking, drunk and dreamed of death.

Nearly half a month passed in this way, and soon the peak flood season in Hebei came.

For more than ten days, it was pouring rain, and the amount of water flowing up rapidly increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Cao Cao and the others were immediately overjoyed!

……

Yecheng City Head.

In accordance with the usual practice, inspections are conducted on duty in the army.

"Mr. Zhengnan, don't worry, I'm watching here, nothing will happen."

Governor General Ma Yan smiled and groaned.

After reviewing and making sure everything is as usual, he smiled slightly,

"Then we're going to have to trouble General Governor."

"Sir is polite, he also works for the lord, so what's the trouble!"

The judge nodded, and said nothing more.

But when his gaze looked at the enemy troops outside the city, he froze slightly.

I saw a large number of Cao troops coming out of the camp in a steady stream and rushing towards the hillside not far away.

"General Governor, what's going on?"

The judge frowned and asked.

Ma Yan glanced at it and smiled disappreciatively,

"It's supposed to be a transfer camp, right?"

"Shift camp? Why don't you report such an important matter to the lord and tell us? ”

The judge's face sank.

"Don't get excited, sir."

Mayan hurriedly explained,

"Isn't the lord drinking and having fun all the time, and I can't bother him."

"Besides, it didn't rain a few days ago, and the situation outside the city was low-lying, so it was reasonable for Cao Jun to move the camp!"

"That's why I didn't report it."

The judge didn't speak, his eyes just stared at Cao Jun outside the city.

If it was really to avoid the torrential rain, then Cao Jun should have moved the camp as early as when it rained.

Why do you move camp when the storm is calm?

There's a weirdness in that.

At this moment, the judge's eyes fell on a small river not far from the city.

This small river is a tributary of Huanshui, and when there is no war in peacetime, most of the people of Yecheng get water from here, and people often boat on the river.

However, at this time, the water level of the river actually dropped, and in some places even the river beach was exposed.

The unattended boat was also stranded by the river.

The judge couldn't help but be shocked!

You know, it has been raining heavily some time ago, how can the water level of the river not rise but fall?

There's only one possibility, someone upstream is accumulating the river!

"You bastard!"

The judge pointed at Ma Yan and scolded, and hurriedly ran towards the city.

Ma Yan was scolded, and suddenly he was a little inexplicable,

"What did I do?"

After the trial was in the city, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and he rushed all the way towards Yuan Shang's mansion.

In the lobby of the Yuan Mansion, a group of singers are dancing to the music of the musicians.

Yuan Shanggao sat in the hall, drinking Moutai wine while enjoying the song and dance in front of him.

When he saw Xingnong, he clapped his hands and laughed,

"Good performance, everyone who comes, there is a reward!"

At this moment, the judge rushed into the lobby, panting,

"Lord...... Lord! ”

"Mr. Jeongnam? You've come just in time, come on, sit down and drink with me. ”

Yuan Shang stood up drunkenly and was about to sit down with the judge.

The trial was in a hurry, shook off Yuan Shang, and said in a hurry,

"Lord, something is wrong!"

"The big thing at the moment is to drink with me!"

Yuan Shang said a little unhappily.

Fortunately, Feng Jishang on the side was a little sober, and hurriedly called Yuan Shang,

"Lord, you might as well ask Mr. Zhengnan, what's the big deal?"

"It's good! Matching, what the hell is going on? ”

Yuan Shang said impatiently.

The judge didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the two of them what he had discovered.

"Harm, I thought what was the matter, wasn't it just to store water?"

Yuan Shang smiled disappretently,

"Even the water in the river outside the city cannot flood the gates."

"You can't say that, my lord!"

The judge said solemnly,

"The river outside the city is a tributary of Huanshui, and since it has no water, it means that Cao Jun began to intercept the flow in the upper reaches of Huanshui."

"Coupled with the heavy rain some time ago, I'm afraid that Yecheng will be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shang gasped, and most of his wine strength woke up!

As the judge said, Huanshui is a big river!

If the water is brought over, it is really possible that Yecheng will be flooded!

"This ...... What should I do? ”

Yuan Shang panicked.

The judge and Feng Ji glanced at each other, and their faces were full of wry smiles.

No matter how smart they are, they are still a little powerless in the face of the forces of nature.

"There are only two ways to go."

Feng Ji thought about it and said,

"One is to rush before the Cao army's water attack, and build more ships!"

"Okay, do it right away!"

Yuan Shang nodded hurriedly,

"What about the second way?"

"Pray that the water accumulated by Cao Jun is not big enough!"

Feng Ji sighed helplessly.

Yuan Shang was stunned.

……

"Rumble ......"

The sound of galloping horses' hooves came from the wilderness, but it was a troop of horsemen galloping from afar.

When they came to the edge of the water, they took hold of the reins and stood where they were.

"Prime Minister, after patrolling this circle, I feel that the amount of water is enough. And the ships in the army are enough."

Yang Ling stepped forward and smiled at Cao Cao.

During this time, Cao's army was divided into two parts.

Part of it is responsible for storing water and digging waterways along with the Yellow River.

The other part retreated to higher ground and began to build boats.

Just now they followed Cao Cao, and the situation among the generals was carefully checked.

"Yes, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's start the siege in the afternoon!"

Cao Cao bowed slightly.

With Cao Cao's order, Cao Jun quickly took action.

On the edge of the Yellow River.

Yang Ling nodded slightly towards Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang stepped forward knowingly, raised the torch in his hand, and lit the fuse of the black powder!
