On the third day after the Han River burst, Guan Yu stood at the bow of the boat, frowning at the heavy rain that was still falling, and the plain on the north bank of the Han River, which had been almost completely submerged.

Zhang Xi was hiding in the cabin at this time, wondering if he should find an opportunity to say goodbye to the second master. This is really the reincarnation of a heavenly immortal, otherwise this matter would not be justified.

Obviously, it should be a big flood that will only occur in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, why did it appear in the twenty-second year of Jian'an?!

Or is it that as long as the second master hits Xiangfan, when will Xiangfan be flooded? !

For a while, Zhang Xi thought of "fatalism".If everything is predestined, then what's the point of crossing over and tossing around?!

Zhang Xi suddenly felt a little depressed, feeling as if his life had lost its meaning.

But the second master didn't give Zhang Xi this kind of sad time.

After waiting for three days and the heavy rain still did not stop, Guan Yu decided to send troops.

"Yuan Chang and Ping'er led all the way to the north, and when they encountered the remnants of the Cao army, those who were willing to surrender were surrendered, and those who did not surrender were killed." Guan Yu began to arrange his troops and said, "The old man personally led all the way to the east to collect and surrender the remnants of the Cao army. Fancheng, don't worry about it for the time being. ”

The boss gives the order, then do as ordered.

And Guan Yu did this, Zhang Xi could probably guess why.

It has been three days since the Hanshui burst the embankment, and the heavy rain still does not stop, and the Cao army that was trapped in the highlands by the water did not have much supply itself, and it was drenched in torrential rain for another three days, and it was already the time when the combat effectiveness was extremely low.

And Guan Yu sent troops at this time, on the one hand, he didn't have to worry about encountering stubborn resistance, and on the other hand, probably Guan Yu didn't want to watch these Cao soldiers die of illness and starvation, thinking about saving their lives.

To put it mildly, everyone is human, and before becoming a soldier, they were all ordinary people, this world is chaotic enough, and it is also a benevolent thing to help everyone survive.

To put it mildly, these soldiers are all strong laborers, and there is a shortage of people everywhere these days, and these Cao army prisoners are the best Dingkou.

Therefore, seeing that the heavy rain still did not stop, Guan Yu was unwilling to wait any longer, and ordered the large army to divide into two routes and take a boat to collect and surrender the defeated troops of Cao's army.

Now, Guan Yu's naval warships can go to land without loading wheels, and the entire north bank of the Han River is flooded, and the water depth is at least seven or eight zhang, and even if it continues to rain like this, even Fancheng will have to be flooded.

Zhang Xi and Guan Ping led an army together, and Guan Yu took into account that Zhang Xi had no experience in leading a naval army, so Guan Ping was transferred to help command. Guan Ping helped Guan Yu form a navy all year round, and his understanding of the navy army was not under Guan Yu.

The two people led the fleet all the way to the north, passing through some high grounds, and they did not need to be persuaded by two people to surrender, and the Cao soldiers on the high ground took the initiative to greet the naval army led by Zhang Xi and others, asking for surrender.

If you don't surrender, you can't do it, the little food you put together has already been eaten, and everything you can eat in the woods is almost gone, and if there is no one to save them, there may be an unexpected human tragedy.

After all, people are such a thing, and it's really hard to say what they will do when they are faced with a desperate situation.

Zhang Xi asked these Cao soldiers to throw all the ordnance on their bodies into the water, and then asked Guan Ping to send a small boat to pick up these surrendered soldiers on the boat and give them food.

Then, part of the fleet turned around and escorted the captives back to the highland camp, while the other part continued to collect Cao's army.

Along the way, all the way down, Zhang Xi gradually pondered that it was not possible to go on like this.

Along the way to the north, Cao's army suffered more and more defeats, and even thousands of people gathered on some high grounds.

Even if all these thousands of people surrendered sincerely, once they were all sent back to the camp and fed them, it would be difficult for them to make trouble, and it would not be easy for the soldiers who remained in the camp to be completely controlled, and it would be a risk in the end.

Therefore, Zhang Xi discussed with Guan Ping a little, no longer collecting and transporting the defeated troops of Cao's army back, but letting these soldiers stay on the boat, most of these soldiers are northerners, they can't swim, and even if they can swim, in the case of this kind of flood, if they leave the warship, they will die.

On the ship, it is probably possible to guarantee that these surrendered Cao troops will not dare to make trouble.

It's just that in this way, the ships are a bit insufficient.

When Guan Yu divided his troops and surrendered, he didn't know which direction had more defeated troops, so he divided the fleet into two, Zhang Xi Guan Ping led more than 100 ships, and Guan Yu himself led more than 100 ships.

But now, Zhang Xi found that Cao Cao in the north was obviously more defeated, so he hurriedly sent a clipper to inform Guan Yu and asked Guan Yu to send some ships to assist in the rescue.

Not long after the clipper departed, Zhang Xi found a small mountain bag with a big flag erected on it.

This is the handsome flag, the handsome flag of Yu Ban.

It's really not that Yu Ban has to put on this pomp and circumstance to this extent, it's really because these three days are too difficult.

When Yu Ban led the army to retreat north, he brought some grain and grass with him, after all, Yu Ban's original intention was to go to the northern highlands to re-establish the village, and he couldn't do it without grain and grass.

But the problem is that Yu Ban didn't expect the flood to come so quickly, so when he allowed the soldiers to go up the mountain to avoid the flood, he could no longer take care of the problem of food and grass.

There are smart soldiers who may flee to the high ground with some of this grain and grass, but most of them have no extra food at all except for the day's rations they carry with them.

In those years, the mountains were covered with trees and the soldiers had armaments in their hands, so it was possible to create some temporary shelter from the rain.

But the food problem is a problem that cannot be solved after all.

On the first day, it was fine, and most of the soldiers had food.

The next day can be generally controlled, in the face of such a flood, as long as the brain is not stupid, will control the consumption of food on their bodies, although there will inevitably be infighting and contradictions, but it is generally controllable.

By the third day. Things got a little out of hand.

The hill where Yu Ban is located is small, and Yu Ban controls the distribution of grain and grass for the first time, so everyone can barely have something to eat.

But in some other highlands, where there were no reliable people to sit in, the battle for food began completely.

Yu Ban can't help it, under this kind of flood, Yu Ban can't stop these battles at all, the only thing he can do is to unfurl his handsome flag and tell some soldiers on the nearby highlands that he is still there, hoping to use his prestige in the army to deter some people and suppress some battles.

This is no way, Yu Ban also knows that the effect of doing this is limited, but if he doesn't do it, he will feel that his conscience is uneasy.

In the end, he was incompetent, but if he had been able to detect the hydrological situation of Hanshui one day earlier, he would not have brought these soldiers to this point.

Yu Ban was really a little desperate now, so when he saw the Jingzhou Army's warship approaching, he didn't know what kind of reaction to make for a while.

However, his personal guards were still loyal to their duties, and they picked up their weapons as soon as possible, and the guards were around the ban.

And Zhang Xi is wondering whether this is a rebellion.

After all, Guan Yu's military order said that if you encounter someone who is willing to surrender, you will surrender, and if you encounter someone who is unwilling to surrender, don't be soft-hearted and eliminate them directly.

Seriously, if it weren't for the big flag erected by Yu Ban, even if Zhang Ximing knew that the person in front of him was Yu Ban, he would probably have ordered a random arrow and would have been killed.

It's not that Zhang Xi has any opinions about the ban, in fact, Zhang Xi is really sympathetic to Yu Ban, thinking of some of the encounters after Yu Ban, it is really better to let him die in Fancheng.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, after Yu Ban surrendered to Guan Yu, he didn't do anything to be sorry for Cao Wei, and later Jiangdong attacked Jingzhou, and Yu Ban didn't say anything about helping Guan Yu defend the city.

Thinking at worst, that is, Yu Ban is afraid of death when he is old, and he only wants to save his life. In the event of such a great flood, what can you do if you let Yu Ban do it?!

But Cao Pi did it, that's a human matter?!

Cao Cao sighed that Yu Ban was not as good as Pang De, but Cao Pi directly painted "Yu Ban Surrender Map" on the outer wall of the Taimiao, and deliberately let Yu Ban go to sacrifice Cao Cao, which is simply murderous.

Go back and see how Liu Bei treated Huang Quan?!

Huang Quan had no choice but to surrender to Wei, Liu Bei said that he was sorry for Huang Quan, and treated Huang Quan's family in Yizhou well, and when Zhuge Liang Bingzheng, this did not change, and Huang Chong, the son of Huang Quan, later came out of Shu Han.

And after Liu Bei died of illness, the entire Cao Wei was cheering, and only Huang Quan was crying, which made the monarch and the minister get along!!

Sometimes, it's really hard to say what happens to people.

Although Zhang Xi also agrees with Cao Cao's sentence "I know that the ban has been banned for 30 years, why do you mean to be in danger and chaos, but it is better than Pang Dexie?" But Cao Cao is qualified to say that you Cao Pi is a thing that guards the country, and you dare to humiliate the ban?!

It's better to let Yu Ban die in Fancheng, at least there will be no less mourning after death, and children and grandchildren will not be bullied.

Zhang Xi's original intention was to fulfill the name of the forbidden world, but Guan Ping didn't let it.

First, Yu Ban is a general of Cao Wei, and if he can persuade Yu Ban to surrender, he will have a great exemplary role in Cao Wei's conquest in the future.

Second, Yu Ban is the commander of the first army in the end, if even Yu Ban is killed, what will the other Cao army think if they are defeated, this will inevitably have an impact on the subsequent surrender action.

It's better to try to persuade him to surrender first, if Yu Ban doesn't surrender, then killing him again can be regarded as fulfilling the battlefield obligations of both sides, which can reduce Cao Jun's resistance to the Jingzhou army.

Therefore, Guan Ping dissuaded Zhang Xi, and personally walked to the bow of the boat, asking for a description of the prohibition of junior salutes.

Of course, Yu Ban knew what Guan Ping wanted to do, he pondered for a long time, put aside the guards who were guarding beside him, and took the initiative to move forward and talk to Guan Ping.

"Those who forbid sinners should have died to thank the world." Yu Ban said to Guan Ping, "It's just that now, the soldier is burdened by something, hungry and poor, Yu Ban deserves to die, but the soldier is innocent." I hope to ask the major general to rescue one or two, and after the incident, Yu Ban will be at the disposal of the major general! ”

Guan Ping heard it and promised it.
