The Wu army successfully dug the river embankment and withdrew to the west, and along the way heard the turbulent waves like thunder, sweeping towards Shouchun, and the soldiers were all happy, all talking about drowning Shouchun's Cao army, telling them to reap the consequences.

Lu Fan was worried along the way, he didn't expect Sun Quan to send people again, obviously he no longer trusted himself, and inexplicably had a sense of crisis.

Since Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, although he appeased Sun Ce's old department, he did not reuse it, except for Zhou Yu, most of them suffered accidents or died of illness, and some people rumored that this was deliberately done by Sun Quan.

Lu Fan and Sun Ce got acquainted as early as Shouchun, followed the left and right to make many meritorious contributions, and was quite valued by Sun Ce.

Sun Quan was in charge of Jiangdong at the beginning, but he could also be virtuous and capable, but as he grew up, in recent years, he acted arbitrarily and deliberately suppressed Sun Ce's old department, and Lu Fan was also trembling, but fortunately he has always been poor and self-controlled, never befriended outsiders, and was quite reused.

After this incident, Lu Fan was a little unsettled, since the death of Mrs. Tai, Dongwu suddenly spread all kinds of rumors, and even talked about Sun Ce was killed by Sun Quan's conspiracy, and people's hearts were shaken for a while.

Sun Quan was furious about this, and ordered Han Dang to personally supervise the troublesome army, thoroughly investigate all parts of the government and the opposition, and arrest and interrogate those who spread rumors, causing a storm in the city and panicking people.

This time, Sun Quan personally marched north, not only to expand the territory, but also to disperse the contradictions, to prepare for war with all the civil and military forces, and no longer idle and suspicious every day.

Lu Fan was thinking about how to protect himself when he went back this time, when the soldiers came to report that the fields in front of him had been flooded and could not pass, so he could only continue to detour westward.

……

In the big tent of the Wu army, the lights were bright, Sun Quan was sitting in the handsome position, looking around at the civil and military officers with doubts on his face, and a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Regardless of Lu Su's wisdom, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and still can't guess his strategy, he finally outperformed these old ministers in terms of strategy.

Huang Gai hugged his fists and said: "Shouchun City is damaged in many places, you can take the opportunity to build more catapults, rushing cars, just wait for the sunny weather, you can break the city in one go, at this time to retreat, isn't it a waste of previous efforts?" ”

Han Dang and other generals also asked for orders, unwilling to withdraw from the army, and were ready to avenge their dead comrades.

Lu Su also wondered in his heart, Sun Quan had to attack Shouchun before, and made a bold promise that he would never retreat if he did not break the city, why did he suddenly retreat overnight?

Although he didn't know what he meant, he knew that Lu Meng had infiltrated Xuzhou, and he couldn't retreat at this time, so he persuaded: "We are waiting for the troops to be stationed here, just to contain Cao Ren, and hope that the lord will think twice." ”

"Hahaha, I have a clever plan...... Sun Quan stroked his beard and laughed, and was about to talk about it, when suddenly the defenders hurriedly reported forward.

"Newspaper - there is a flood spreading to the camp."

"Huh?" Sun Quan frowned slightly, waved his hand and said: "It has rained for several days, and it is inevitable that the river will overflow, so don't panic, dig the soil to block it first." ”

The defenders retreated, and Sun Quan was about to order the generals to return to the camp and prepare to set off the camp, when he saw a flood pouring in from the corner of the tent, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the feet of everyone.

Han Dang was the first to notice and exclaimed, "Where is the flood? ”

Lu Su and the others all stood up, the first thing to do when they set up camp was to guard against water and fire, there were ditches and canals all around, and the camp could also be drained, how could there be such a big amount of water flooding in?

"Report - the big thing is not good, Dongying is flooded!"

"Report - Xiying is flooded!"

When everyone was panicking, an urgent report came from each battalion, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others were shocked, and in the blink of an eye, the flood filled the camp tent and had already reached the surface of their feet.

Sun Quan's face also changed greatly, he got up suddenly, and shouted: "Withdraw quickly!" ”

Jia Hua hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun Quan, and Lu Su also found that the water was extremely powerful, realized that something was wrong, and asked urgently, "Does the lord know?" ”

Sun Quan walked out quickly, the water was almost knee-high, and shouted: "Prepare the horse quickly, it's too late to explain." ”

When I got out of the camp, I saw that the four fields were black and oppressive, and there were waves everywhere, mixed with the screams of soldiers, and I couldn't see how big the flood was in the middle of the night.

When the soldiers found the torch and lit it, as far as the eye could see, there was a muddy river all around, Sun Quan was soaked, and the wound began to itch again, and he scolded in a low voice: "Lu Fan mistook me!" ”

The Wu army screamed for a long time, each competing for their mounts to retreat south, most of the soldiers were trapped in the water, although most of the Wu people knew how to water, but in this torrent, they could only struggle helplessly.

When the sky was light, the generals escorted Sun Quan to Hefei, and when he looked back, he saw that the soldiers were covered with mud and incomplete armor, and only more than 2,000 people followed.

Han Dangwu was shocked and puzzled: "Such a big flood, unless the Huai River bursts its embankment......"

"This must be Cao Jun digging the river embankment again!" Huang Gai suddenly woke up and scolded: "The Cao thief is so vicious, he will definitely cut off his children and grandchildren, and he will not die well." ”

"Cao Ren old thief, I am the ancestor of his day!"

"If I don't take revenge, I swear not to be a man!"

……

For a time, everyone in the army cursed, gritted their teeth, and all kinds of foul language were endless, as if another flood had erupted, and the momentum was amazing.

Sun Quan's face was pale, and he trembled with anger, he didn't expect Lu Fan to act so decisively, and he released water to flood his own soldiers and horses.

Lu Su comforted on the side: "Cao Ren uses this clumsy plan, Shouchun must be difficult to keep, the lord first fattened to rest, and after the flood recedes, it is not difficult to take Shouchun." ”

"This count...... Poor? Sun Quan stared blankly at the gloomy sky, his voice hoarse.

Lu Su said: "Self-use is to defeat the enemy, how can there be any reason to hurt yourself?" Cao Ren was self-defeating, trapped in the city, as long as Ziming took Donghai County, he could send a large army from Guangling to the north to support, then Xuzhou could be obtained. ”

Sun Quan nodded silently, turned his horse first, thinking about where to transfer troops, and the soldiers of Eastern Wu scolded all the way and retreated to Hefei.

Shouchun City was surrounded by floods, and the water did not exceed half of the city gate, like an isolated island, but Cao Jun waved weapons and cheered on the city.

Outside the city was a mess, with a layer of tent clothing floating on the muddy water, and many corpses with hideous faces, Wu Jun was like a dead fish in a pond, floating in patches, countless of them.

Niu Jin gritted his teeth and scolded: "Jiangdong boasts that the water army is strong, and no one is invincible in the water war. ”

Cao Ren looked at the boundless flood, but sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "After all, this move hurts the heavens and the peace, and the two floods will make me afraid that there will be no one in Shouchun for a few years!" ”

Niu Jin said: "The governor doesn't have to be merciful, the dead are all Wu Jun, this time Jiangdong is exhausted, most of the loss of Shouchun, compared to Zhang Wenyuan's battle of Yaojin, Sun Quan will not be able to go north in a few years." ”

Cao Ren's eyes were deep, and he also broke the 100,000 soldiers of Eastern Wu, and he didn't even fight, but he didn't feel worthy of comparing with Zhang Liao.

Jiang Jiyan said: "I hope that the flood will recede early, so that the metropolitan governor can divide his troops to support Xuzhou in time and repel the Wu army, so as to prevent future troubles forever." ”

Cao Ren pressed his hand on the city wall and sighed lightly: "Zhou Yu has taken the two counties of Beihai and Donglai, and he has enough money and food to buy people's hearts, which is enough to compare with the princes of one side, and his trouble is even worse than Sun Quan's." ”

Although Sun Quan retreated, another team sneaked into Xuzhou, Zhou Yu gained a firm foothold in Qingzhou, and Xiahoudun played several unfavorable battles, and the overall situation was still not optimistic.
