"Father, your spirit in heaven must protect Wang Can from drowning. Even if Wang Can cannot be drowned, he must drown his soldiers, let Wang Can be killed by Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and let Wang Can die without a burial place.
"
Guan Ping stood there and roared loudly.
Zhang Bao stood on the bank of the river, looking at the surging river with a blank expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps, Zhang Bao was also constantly cursing Wang Can in his heart, hoping that Wang Can would be in trouble.
The surrounding soldiers watched the river water several feet high rushing down quickly. They felt a chill in their bones and couldn't help but shiver. If they were washed away by such a fast river water, they would definitely have a narrow escape. However, when the river water entered the moat,
The momentum has already slowed down and it won't be so turbulent anymore.
Zhuge Liang was in a very depressed mood and could not lift his spirits.
Even though the Tangbai River's water flow weakened after rushing down, the river water swelled and rushed into the moat. It would definitely rush into Xiangyang City and turn Xiangyang City into a vast ocean.
The water weakened and could not drown anyone when it poured into Xiangyang City, but the terrible thing was that the river water accumulated in the city.
It's summer now and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
The water in the moat surged and rushed into the city. After being exposed to the sun, the people and soldiers in the city had unclean drinking water, and their food was affected by dampness, making them prone to illness. Zhuge Liang did not want to see such a huge disaster, but the hatred of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei,
And Zhuge Liang wanted to appease Guan Ping, Zhang Bao and others, so he finally chose vicious methods.
Water cannot kill people, but it can kill them.
After a long time, Guan Ping's mood stabilized and he asked: "Military advisor, what should we do next?"
Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao attacked Runan and captured Yuzhou and Yangzhou. We definitely can't go. As a result, only the Sun family in Jiangdong is left, and my brother Zhuge Jin is also an official in Jiangdong. We will go to Jiangdong to take refuge.
Stay under Sun Jian's tent, use Sun Jian's strength to attack Wang Can, avenge the lord, the second general, and the third general, and continue the lord's bloodline."
Guan Ping said: "The military advisor is right. Let's go to Jiangdong."
Zhang Bao also nodded and agreed with Zhuge Liang's decision.
In this way, Zhuge Liang took Guan Ping, Zhang Bao and Liu Bei's wife to leave Jingzhou quietly and ran towards Jiangdong. However, Zhuge Liang and his party did not go to the front line to join Sun Jian, but ran towards Sun Jian's hinterland Wujun.
The situation was unclear, so Zhuge Liang chose to avoid the war.
…
Xiangyang City, the urn outside the city was damaged and needs to be repaired.
After the weather cleared up, Wang Can organized soldiers to repair the city wall and prepare to defend Xiangyang.
When the soldiers were repairing the city wall, there was a sudden sound of rushing water from the upper reaches of the moat. Looking around, I saw that the water in the moat was rising continuously. In the blink of an eye, it had overflowed the dam, and it was still rising. Logically speaking, the Tangbai River
The moat close to Xiangyang City is surrounded by numerous tributaries that release floods, which has reduced the danger of the moat.
When necessary, the river section can be blocked to prevent the Tangbai River from flowing into the moat and avoid Xiangyang City from being affected. But all this was planned by Zhuge Liang. When the river water intercepted from the upper reaches surged in, all of it poured into the moat, immediately raising the level of the city.
The water level of the moat increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to flow into the city.
"The flood is coming, the flood is coming!"
"No, my feet are submerged. The water seems to be getting bigger and bigger."
…
Several soldiers shouted loudly, looking very surprised. Because when there was heavy rain a few days ago, there was no flooding, and now it suddenly appeared, making the soldiers dumbfounded.
What is going on with all this?
All the soldiers were dumbfounded.
One of the captains discovered the situation and immediately ordered: "Don't panic, hold on tight and I'll report it." After saying that, the captain found a horse and ran quickly towards the city to report the matter.
Go up.
By this time, the river had flowed into the city and flooded the streets.
After Lu Meng learned the news, he quickly went to the palace to pay homage to Wang Can.
In the main hall, Wang Can summoned all the officials, including civil servants and military generals.
The civil servants and military generals stood solemnly, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Xiangyang City was suddenly flooded by a flood. It was obviously man-made and could not be a natural disaster. Pound stood up, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I think this is Zhuge Liang's poisonous plan. It must be Zhuge Liang who had people cut off the water flow upstream and downstream.
Then the tributaries around the river were blocked, causing the river water to pour into the moat and then flow into the city."
Zhang Xiu said eagerly: "My lord, I will lead the troops to the upper reaches of the river to capture Zhuge Liang." He looked at Wang Can expectantly, wanting to capture Zhuge Liang and perform meritorious deeds.
Lu Meng shook his head and said: "It must be too late to go now, Zhuge Liang must have escaped."
Wang Can raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Zhuge Liang must have escaped after the water flooded Xiangyang. He couldn't catch up, so there is no need to pay attention to Zhuge Liang. Lu Meng, you and Zhang Xiu will lead two thousand soldiers out of the city and go to the upper and lower reaches of the moat.
Dredge the river, slow down the water flow, and implement it immediately."
"promise!"
Lu Meng agreed, turned around and left the palace with Zhang Xiu.
After Lu Meng left, Wang Can turned his eyes and ordered: "Shi A, you sent someone to inquire about the movements of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and find out how long it will take for them to arrive in Xiangyang?"
"As you command!"
Shi A answered and turned to leave.
Wang Can continued to give instructions: "Pang De, Zhang Ren, you are responsible for the stability of Xiangyang, leading the soldiers to maintain order, and not allowing chaos to occur in the city. Please implement it immediately."
"The general will obey your orders!"
The two of them clasped their fists in response and turned to leave.
Wang Can stretched out his hand and knocked on the desk gently, thinking about the things that needed to be dealt with next.
After a moment, Wang Can looked up at Kuai Liang and said: "Zirou, when the river rushes into the city, it will definitely leave residues and stains, and it will also cause disasters to the people. These need to be handled by you personally, which is also the most critical place. You call all the people
People from the big family, ask them to help you deal with the matter, clean up the sewage in the city as soon as possible, and alleviate the situation, without killing people or causing disaster to the people."
Kuai Liang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Liang will definitely appease the people and protect Xiangyang City."
After a pause, Kuai Liang said: "Lord, when the river enters the city, the city is already a vast ocean. I am afraid that the food in many people's homes will definitely be affected by dampness, and the water sources will also be affected..."
Wang Can waved his hand and interrupted Kuai Liang's words, and said in a deep voice: "You are the governor of Jingzhou. Although there is only one place in Xiangyang at present, you still directly manage Xiangyang. If you need food, you can directly draw it from the granary. If the drinking water is not clean, you can directly manage it.
Let the people collect water uniformly. There is no need for you to report any political matters involving Xiangyang, just handle them with your full authority."
"promise!"
Kuai Liang glanced at Wang Can gratefully and immediately carried out the order.
After a while, there were very few people left in the hall, only Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
Guo Jia said: "My lord, Xiangyang City has been flooded and the city has not been repaired. I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on. Especially since Cao Cao and Sun Jian are coming with a fierce attack, we must prepare early."
Xu Shu said: "Our army defeated Liu Bei, but we cannot relax in the next battle with Cao Cao and Sun Jian."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Cao Cao and Sun Jian are coming fiercely, but they are not confident enough to last long. I have already sent an order to Fazheng and Huang Zhong in Chang'an, asking them to launch an attack on Yanzhou, the hinterland of Cao Cao. At the same time, Jia Xu and Gan in the south
Ning Hui will launch an attack and go straight to Jiangdong. These two armies attack together, and Sun Jian and Cao Cao can only retreat."
After hearing this, Guo Jia and Xu Shu were both moved and smiled.
