Tens of thousands of Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers were separated by the floods on "isolated islands". From yesterday to now, they have not eaten a grain of rice and have been exposed to rain. They are really hungry, cold and exhausted.
The new camp does have shelter from the rain and plenty of food. However, the mountain floods are so severe now that even a small boat is in danger of capsizing, let alone relying on human power to cross the flood. The only thing they can do is to wait for the rain to stop.
Retreating, however, is the same as waiting to die.
Therefore, when Liu Jingshui's fleet appeared, everyone in the Jingzhou army, whether they planned to fight to the end or were ready to bow their heads and tie their necks, breathed a sigh of relief. Waiting without hope is the most tortured thing.
Throughout the ages, every person in power hopes that "the men of the three armies under their command will regard death as a return home", but this is not realistic. If given the chance to live, not many people can die calmly.
Hundreds of ships from Liu Jingshui's army were approaching. Most of the Jingzhou army's officers and men knelt down and asked to surrender. Only a handful of Jingzhou army generals used their personal prestige and even killing methods to force their soldiers to follow him and resist.
In this regard, Liu Jingshui's army did not say anything, and the ships surrounded them on all sides, with bows and crossbows like rain. After killing the enemy, they finally launched a landing operation. The Jingzhou soldiers were forced to have no choice but lacked fighting spirit, and they collapsed in an instant.
Although Liu Jing did not listen to the advice of Liu Zong and others and insisted on coming by boat, it had only been a few days since Kuai Yue had learned from his mistakes. How could he not be more careful? Therefore, he had been quietly staying in the Chinese army and never approached the frontline battlefield.
.
Liu Jing continued to receive news from the front: a certain commander of a certain department led his troops to surrender, and a certain school captain led his troops to surrender...
These tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops are an elite army that Liu Biao spent ten years of hard work and gathered talents from all over the state to build up. And Jingzhou is Liu Bei's "starting place", and there are many famous Shu Han figures among them, especially Liu Jinghui.
I heard the name of Wei Yan, the Sima of another department.
It's just that the situation is still unclear now, and Liu Jing has no intention of meeting them for the time being, but he will not be able to disappear next to this person.
Lai Gong was personally escorted to Liu Jing's ship by Liu Zhu. Liu Zhu had gone to Xiangyang several times before and had met Lai Gong several times. He knew that Lai Gong and Liu Jing had a special relationship, so he did not dare to tie him with a rope.
, but for Liu Jing’s safety, Liu Zong still searched him from inside to outside.
"Lai Jun..." After hearing the news, Liu Jing immediately came to the deck to greet Lai Gong.
Lai Gong's eyes looked at Liu Jing for a long time, and then he sighed: "Oh! Zhongda, I never thought that the day you and I get together again, we will be in this situation."
Liu Jing smiled and said, "I won't hide it from Mr. Lai. This situation and situation were all within my expectations."
Seeing Liu Jing using his words, Lai Gong couldn't help but retorted: "Our army's defeat was due to natural disasters and was not a crime of war. Without this flood, the outcome is still uncertain." Originally, Lai Gong finally wanted to say that Liu Jing would definitely lose.
, but when the words came to his mouth, he finally changed his words.
It was not that he was afraid of offending Liu Jing. He had always been kind to Liu Jing, and the two of them had a half-teacher friendship. Even if he went too far, Liu Jing could do nothing to him. But although he was Liu Biao's minister, his relationship with Liu Jing
It is also unusual. There is no need to defend one party or embarrass the other party.
Liu Jing shook his head and said: "Lai Jun is wrong. The Northern Army was not defeated by natural disasters. Otherwise, why did our army not suffer any damage in the face of this flood, and even took advantage of the situation and won a complete victory?"
Liu Jing's words immediately silenced Lai Gong. He had just heard from Liu Zhu that Liu Jing's navy had two victories in two battles, and almost all of the Jingzhou navy was wiped out. Cai Mao fled in panic with only dozens of ships.
In the same situation, why was Liu Jingshui's army not affected by the flood? There is no doubt that Liu Jingfang had made complete preparations in advance, but the Jingzhou army had no idea that the victory or defeat in this battle had been decided long before the flood broke out.
"Lai Jun, this is not the place to talk. Please follow me into the cabin for a while." Liu Jing said as he took Lai Gong's arm, led him into the cabin of the building, and carefully asked him to fetch it. Hu biscuits, snacks, and fine wine.
Lai Gong's heart couldn't help but feel warm. He was indeed so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. He immediately stopped being polite to Liu Jing, picked up the biscuits and ate some snacks. During this period, he also drank wine non-stop in order to expel the evil spirits from his body. Damp and cold air.
At the same time, Wang Qiang led his fleet and surrounded a hill where thousands of Jingzhou Army soldiers gathered. In the wind and rain, Wang Qiang asked his soldiers to shout in unison at the hill: "Liu Jun has ordered, surrender." If you don’t kill me, if you don’t surrender now, when will we wait?”
When the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army heard this, there was a commotion, and they all looked at the foot of a big tree.
Kuai Yue was seriously injured, and he was severely tortured by the flood last night. His body collapsed immediately, and he fell into a coma at dawn. It has been several hours now, and the disciples and close relatives are afraid that he will not wake up.
However, with Liu Jingjun's shouts, Kuai Yue miraculously woke up, and all the guests and confidants were ecstatic, "Master..."
Kuai Yue twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't expect that he could actually wake up again, but he knew his body best. If nothing else happened, today would be his death day.
After hearing a brief summary of the current situation from his disciples, Kuai Yue sighed: "I was trusted by the general and was able to command the three armies. However, due to underestimating the enemy's reckless advance, lack of careful thinking, and a disaster from heaven, the entire army was wiped out. I am responsible for the general's trust." , I have betrayed the expectations of our officers and men, and now I am in danger of dying. It is all my own fault. Please take my head and surrender."
"Why did the master say this?" All the disciples and confidants said, "If the master dies, we will not live alone. We are willing to die with the master."
Kuai Yue was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly. He was helped up by his disciples and close relatives, and said to the soldiers who came around: "The fault of this battle is mine alone, and it has nothing to do with you. I am deeply favored by the general, and I should kill myself." To apologize, after my death, all of you can surrender."
Having said that, Kuai Yue took the long sword that came from the disciple's confidant and placed it across his neck. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was known to be ambitious, resourceful and strategic. However, he and his ancestor Kuai Yue All the same, I failed to meet the Ming Lord.
In the past, Han Xin did not accept Kuai Tong's plan to divide the world into three parts, and finally ended up being cooked by his lackeys. Although Liu Biao treated him virtuously and used him wisely, he could not fully trust him. If Liu Biao had listened to him to recharge his batteries and hold off for a while, Why did the idea of going south come to this day?
Kuai Yue let out a last breath, and swiped the long sword in his hand hard. Blood spurted out instantly, and the eight-foot-long body fell with a crash.
The disciples and his followers carried him back to the couch, then looked at each other, and then they all committed suicide.
When the Jingzhou soldiers surrounding him saw this, they all sighed.
