Time flies by quickly, from nine years of resurgence to ten years of resurgence in the blink of an eye.%&*
The ninth year of Zhongxing was a good year for the whole world. The weather was good and the grain was plentiful.
But there are differences between the people under the rule of the Han Dynasty and the people under the rule of Cao Wei and Sun Wu.
Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, they had elite soldiers and simple generals, and a population of more than 10 million. They only needed to supply 200,000 to 300,000 troops. And with rich places like Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Guanzhong, it could be said to be more than enough.
The people are prosperous and merchants are everywhere, giving it a prosperous appearance.[
And what about Cao Wei and Sun Wu?
Cao "Cao" and Sun Ce were both considered heroes, but they could not reach the point where the people were filled with complaints and resentment boiled over. However, having many soldiers and generals would result in the difficulty of providing supplies to the people.
The overall environment is not enough to starve people to death, but it is not enough to feed people.
Most of the people have disheveled faces and thin bodies.
Only this elite soldier was fed to be very fat.
But even with countless elite soldiers, Cao Cao's life was not too easy. Not only was it difficult, but he was also frightened.
Because as time went by, the waterway dug by Liu Feng near the Yellow River became longer and longer. Before his eyes, he could reach the vicinity of Jiyin City.
Flooding a city is the simplest and most destructive method.
Facing such a natural disaster, how could Cao Cao not be frightened?
In recent days, Cao Cao's mood has become increasingly restless.
On this day, the red sun hangs in the sky, illuminating everything.
In Jiyin City, there are many armored soldiers, either guarding the city head or patrolling the streets. They are all in an orderly manner, with a murderous aura rising straight into the sky, and a cold and cold feeling sweeping across all directions.
The governor's mansion in the center of the city is even more important. The soldiers are all wearing armor, holding spears, and crossbows. Their eyes are open and they are observing all directions.i^
It is heavily guarded.
However, Cao Cao was still restless.
In the hall, Cao Cao, Dong Zhao, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun were having a banquet, not seeking pleasure, but hoping that the wine would warm their bodies and prevent them from feeling cold.
Dong Zhao, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun all knew that Cao Cao was in a bad mood and were willing to accompany him. However, after eating and drinking for a long time, Dong Zhao couldn't help it anymore and said: "Your Majesty, the Han army is now
The water channel is almost healed. I have been hungover all day and am really depressed. We should discuss how to deal with it in order to find a way to survive."
"I know this, but I have already coerced the people of Cao Wei and bet that Liu Feng would not dare to dig water. Now, Liu Feng has done it. I really have no choice."
Cao Cao smiled bitterly upon hearing this.[
At this moment, Cao Cao's cheeks were flushed, but his eyes were clear. It was obvious that he was not intoxicated by alcohol. It would be difficult for such a peerless hero to get hungover.
"Then we can't sit back and wait for death. We should send troops to fight and ruin Liu Feng's good deeds." Dong Zhao said.
"I'm afraid I'm going to lose our troops and generals." Cao Cao said with a bitter smile.
It was precisely because he did not dare to fight to the death with Liu Feng that he sat guarding the city in order to defend the Han army, preserve the foundation of Yan, Qing, and Xuzhou, and wait for the opportunity to attack the Han Dynasty again.
Now, if he is asked to go out of the city to fight, he naturally has no confidence.
"If you haven't tried it, how can you know 3f? Besides, even if you lose your troops and generals, it's just defeat. Waiting for the city to be flooded is also defeat. Why not go out of the city and fight for a way out?"
Dong Zhao said again.
Cao Cao looked even more miserable when he heard this. He knew the truth, but it was extremely difficult to do things.
"Let me think about it."
Cao Cao took several breaths, but still couldn't make a decision. He finally shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, alas."
Dong Zhao lamented.
"Your Majesty." At this moment, Xu Chu suddenly raised his fist and bowed.
Xu Chu was a hero of the time. His physique was different from ordinary people, and his courage was even greater than that of a whale. At this moment, he just raised his fist and bowed, but Cao Cao felt a heroic demeanor.
"Zhong Kang, please tell me." Cao Cao said.
"I would rather die in battle." Xu Chu said in shock. As soon as he said these three words, Xu Chu suddenly burst out with a shocking aura. This aura was the tragic aura of a fight to the death.
I would rather be a beheaded general than wait to die.
Suddenly, Cao Cao was shocked. He remembered the time when he first met Xu Chu. Xu Chu was young and full of courage.
Today, although Xu Chu is older, he is more energetic.
But he gradually became timid.
When did Cao Mengde dare not compete with Shuzi for supremacy?
Thinking about it, Cao Cao's eyes gradually changed. The decadence and depression gradually left, and his sharp energy appeared again.[
"Then order Guo Jia, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to prepare 60,000 elite troops to fight at any time. The tiger and leopard cavalry are also ready to fight the Han cavalry."
Not long after, Cao Cao took a deep breath and said.
Dong Zhao, Xu Chu, and Xiahou Dun were shocked when they heard the words, and they all showed happy expressions. Immediately, they agreed with a bang: "Promise."
"opportunity?"
Immediately afterwards, Dong Zhao asked.
He recalled that Cao Cao's order just now was to prepare, not to send troops.
"Yes. When Liu Feng digs the water channel and prepares to block the Yellow River, one more sentence of sabotage will be the bottom line." Cao Cao had completely cheered up and nodded.
"promise."
Seeing that Cao Cao became decisive in killing, Dong Zhao's face became even more happy and he agreed again.
At this moment, not far from Jiyin City, a small waterway leading directly to the Yellow River is being continued to be lengthened.
"Humph."
"Ding ding ding."
Countless Han soldiers were sweating profusely, digging hard with hoes, shovels, and poles. The scene was dusty and filled with the stench of sweat.
Among them, Liu Feng led many generals and walked past step by step, watching.
The look on his face showed no joy or anger.
"General, the waterway is about to be completed. After a while, the Yellow River will be blocked and the city will be flooded. At that time, Cao Cao will not sit still and wait for death. There will be a bloody battle."
Zhao Yun said.
"It's inevitable." Liu Feng nodded and looked north. Here, it's not very far from the Yellow River. Liu Feng's eyes seemed to have crossed the mountains and reached the rushing Yellow River.
"Order to send out all the spies to closely monitor the movements of the Wei army in Jiyin and Liangcheng. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, report it immediately."
Immediately, Liu Feng shouted.
"promise."
Zhao Yun, Dong Cheng, Dong Gai, Deng Ai and other generals all made a promise.
Liu Feng's water channel is about to be completed. If the water channel is completed, the country will be flooded and the defenses established by Cao Cao in Jiyin will be seriously threatened.
Both the enemy and ourselves understand this.
Therefore, Cao Cao made up his mind to fight to the death. But what about Liu Feng? He also issued an order to be on guard.
The situation is getting more and more tense.
Cao Mengde, I must be the winner this time.
The belief in Liu Feng's heart was extremely firm.
