It rained for almost two days.

It had rained heavily, and the rain had already flooded all the rivers and drains inside and outside the city, and there was plenty of moisture in the soil.

Now that it continues to rain, the embankment of the Surabaya River is dug up, and the river water is pouring in, and the drainage system in the city is unable to drain the flood water at all, and even the soil cannot absorb it.

Even if Lu Bu was as tall as a person, after walking out of the house, the water was almost up to his knees.

Wang Kai and Xu Yan, who were following him, were soaked in stagnant water to their thighs, and the water level was still rising, and the people in the city were awakened one after another, and they packed up their things and went to high places to take refuge on the roof.

Seeing the embarrassment in the city and the scene of being flooded, Lu Bu's eyes were red, and he couldn't suppress his anger.

The rain turned light again, and their lanterns and torches were not extinguished by the raindrops for a while, but under the firelight, the whole city could be seen everywhere sparkling.

"Damn Cao Cao!"

Lu Bu was furious, and he had the urge to kill.

Immediately, they went to the castle tower.

Looking to the west, where Surabaya had been dug through, they could not see in the dark, but they could still tell where the water was coming from based on the sound of the rushing water.

Lu Bu didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

"Wen Hou."

Zhang Liao walked over, lifted the hat on his head, and said, "Cao Cao is doing this to kill us all, he doesn't want us to live!" ”

"Then I won't let him live!"

Lu Bu roared angrily, immediately looked at the people around him, and asked in a loud voice: "Is there any way you can help me defend the city and help me go out to kill Cao Cao?" ”

Wang Kai and Xu Yan were silent.

If they had a way, they would have taken it out a long time ago, and they would not be so passive, but it was far inferior to Chen Gong.

Zhang Liao sighed, looked at the ocean below, and even some soldiers took out the boat, they also didn't know what to do, and now even the surrender was not accepted by Cao Cao, and the city must be broken.

"Wen Hou, there's no way!"

Zhang Liao finally said: "It won't be long before the people in our city can't stand it first, and the soldiers will follow, and when the time comes, the emotions of opening the city gate to welcome Cao Jun will erupt, causing public indignation, which is not something we can control." If Mr. Gongtai was here, maybe there would be a way, but now we ......."

He couldn't say the rest of the story.

Now it is despair, and we are going to go to a dead end.

Cao Cao refused to let them go at all.

"Waste, all waste!"

Lu Bu said angrily: "If the public platform is still there, we must have a way, the public platform ...... Cao Cao! ”

If Cao Cao hadn't used a trick to capture Chen Gong, this would definitely not have happened.

Lu Bu now hates Cao Cao very much.

But it's just hate, and beyond that, there's nothing to be done.

He shouted Cao Cao's name several times in anger before he reluctantly returned to the mansion.

At such a point, Lu Bu understood that everything was gone, and Xiapi was also gone, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only go home and drink stuffy, as if he was lying flat, and the guards continued to defend the city, and he could support it for as long as he could.

Zhang Liao shook his head.

Xu Yan and Wang Kai were also shaking their heads.

Inside the city.

Chen Qun and Lu Zhu sat on a high place, looking at the stagnant water below.

"The water is flooded."

Chen Qun admired: "It turns out that Cao Sikong and they have not attacked the city, what they are waiting for is the arrival of the rainy season in Xuzhou, and they will flood with water!" They can let go of the battle situation in Huainan and have been waiting for the rainy season outside Xiapi City, and no one can compare to this patience. Even if the main force is placed in Xiapi, the battle situation on the Huainan side, it must be Cao Sikong who has the upper hand, otherwise he would not dare to wait here all the time, it seems that the city is about to be broken, and Xuzhou will soon change hands. ”

He admired the person who could give advice to Cao Cao and let Cao Cao wait patiently at this moment.

Must be a resourceful and capable person.

"It's amazing!"

Lu Zhu said: "The analysis of the long article is very correct, and we should surrender even more. ”

Chen Qun said, "Is Zizhong ready?" ”

"It's all set."

"Then wait for Cao Sikong, when the city is attacked."

Chen Qun said confidently: "Once Cao Sikong attacks the city, we will go and open the gate in the north of the city." ”

"Good!"

Elk Zhu nodded.

The only thing they can do is this, they must surrender, hug Cao Cao's thigh, and there is no hope in Lu Bu.

——

The water flooded Pi, and three days passed quickly.

It was soaked for three days.

During this period, Cao Cao really no longer pursued the matter of Chen Gong.

However, Guo Jia had already told Cao Cao about his and Chen Zhou's conjectures, but Cao Cao still did not act, first, there was really no evidence, and second, to bring Liu Bei back to Xudu, Chen Zhou said that there was a way to kill Liu Bei.

A dying person, don't care too much for the time being.

When you want to kill someone in the future, you can find out the inside story of the Chen Palace incident through Liu Bei.

After three days of soaking, resistance has emerged in the city.

Standing outside the city, Chen Zhou could see the top of the city tower and the flags were messy, so he could judge that the army was discouraged.

At this time, the water in the city soaked to the waist, but to this extent, the flood water that poured into the city could not be retained and was drained away.

"When does Watari think it's time to storm the city?"

Cao Cao asked.

Chen Zhou looked into the city and said: "Soak it for two more days to see the situation, and when you get to the city, you won't even have dry firewood for cooking, and you can almost move, but most of the grain in the city is soaked, which is a pity." ”

Cao Cao said: "We are not short of food, there is nothing to pity, come here, arrange it, let me keep an eye on the number and situation of the cooking smoke rising in the city, and once the cooking smoke decreases, report it immediately." ”

There is also a mountain near Xiapi.

Standing on the mountain forest and looking down, although you can't see the whole picture of Xiapi, it is still no problem to analyze the situation of the cooking smoke.

Dozens of scouts received orders to go to work immediately.

"Isn't this a bit cruel?"

Liu Bei wanted to show his benevolence again.

Flooding a city can bring a lot of trouble.

For example, soaking food makes it impossible to eat, flooding pollutes, breeding bacteria and germs, and may lead to death.

"Ci is not in charge of the army."

Chen Zhou retorted: "Xuande's benevolence and righteousness should not be used on the battlefield, if the people in the city don't want to continue to be trapped, they can turn against Lu Bu and open the city gate desperately to let us enter the city, we have long said that we will not slaughter the city, let alone hurt the people in the slightest." ”

Liu Bei: "......"

In these respects, he admits that he can't debate Chen Zhou.

Then keep flooding!

This went on for another two days.

"Lord!"

Xu Chu walked into the main tent and said excitedly: "The scout came back and said that the cooking smoke in the city was almost gone. ”

That is to say, the people in the city can't even use dry firewood, and they can't even make a fire for cooking, so the soldiers defending the city will inevitably starve, and their opportunity to attack the city will come.

A group of hungry Xiapi guards can't hold the huge city.

"Immediately invite Watari and Bonghyaka over."

Cao Cao said loudly: "And Liu Bei!" ”

is about to break the city, of course, it is indispensable to discuss with Liu Bei how to attack the city.

After waiting for a while, Chen Zhou and the others came.

Hearing that there was almost no smoke from the cooking, they went out of the city again to look at the city wall, but saw that the flag on the city wall was gone, and it had not rained for the last day, and the flag was probably dried and used to make a fire for cooking.

Everything in the city is almost at its limit.
