Chapter 920 The family has a daughter who is just growing up
The torrential water failed to submerge even an inch of the Chu army?
Sima Yi was stunned, Wang Ling was stunned, Jia Kui was also stunned, and the kings and ministers of Jin were all stunned. Literature Museum
"How is it possible? The Chu army has more than 100,000 troops. Even if the cavalry escapes, how can the infantry escape?" Sima Yi jumped up and asked in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army only has more than 10,000 light cavalry. It was only because they held many flags and made false claims that the scouts made mistakes in their reconnaissance."
A sudden realization.
Wang Ling and other Jin ministers all looked at each other, dumbfounded and amazed.
Sima Yi also looked shocked. It was only then that he understood the cause of the matter.
It turns out that Yan Liang had already seen through his so-called trick to lure the enemy, and they were already on guard against your tricks, so he was smart enough to send Qingqi here.
In this way, even if you, Sima Yi, have any tricks, the Chu army's light cavalry can quickly leave the battlefield, making your tricks useless.
Ugh~~
Frightened and furious, Sima Yi angrily drew his sword and chopped off a corner of the table in front of him.
Wang Ling and other Jin ministers were shaken, their faces showed fear, and they were all dejected and did not dare to say a word.
"This Yan thief is so cunning. I really underestimated him. How shameful..." Sima Yi gritted his teeth and resented Yan Liang extremely.
At this time, Jia Kui said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although my plan to break the dike failed to severely injure the Chu thieves, the flood can at least stop the Chu thieves from going north. This can be considered a small gain."
As a confidant, Jia Kui naturally had to stand up and build a ladder for Sima Yi.
The angry fire had burned out, and Sima Yi gradually regained his composure. A coldness soon appeared in his wolf-like eyes.
"Hmph, Thief Yan is lucky. Let's let him be proud for a while. The water is surging. Let's see if he still has the courage to continue heading north."
Sima Yi immediately issued an order, ordering the army to move northward. While returning north, he broke open the Fenshui River embankment along the way, constantly expanding the area of the flood.
Within a few days, the Jin army dug out more than ten miles of river embankments, causing the area from Yong'an to Jiexiu to be flooded by the Fen River for dozens of miles.
Although the water potential of the Fen River is far inferior to that of the southern river system, the water level in the flooded areas is as high as the knees and as low as the feet.
However, the mud caused by the flood made it difficult for carriages and horses to move. Especially the roads along the Fen River were completely flooded, making it impossible to travel at all.
The road north of Yong'an is cut off.
…
Thirty miles south of Yong'an.
The scouts sent by Zhao Yun reported the Jin army's digging of Fen River to Yan Liang immediately.
When Yan Liang learned about this, he couldn't help but secretly take a deep breath.
"Fortunately, I was more foresight and did not march north easily. Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of infantry troops would have been flooded, and the consequences would have been disastrous..." Yan Liang said with emotion.
Xu Shu nodded: "Our army escaped a disaster. It can be regarded as a blessing from your majesty. However, the Fenhe River is flooding and the road to the north is muddy and difficult to navigate. I am afraid that the battle to wipe out the Jin Kingdom will have to be postponed."
The road to Bingzhou was already difficult to navigate, and now it was muddy. Even if the soldiers and horses could pass through, the convoys transporting grain could not pass through the flooded area smoothly.
In the case of unfavorable supplies, Yan Liang would certainly not risk his 200,000 troops to head north rashly.
However, Yan Liang did not have many regrets. He just snorted coldly and said with a wave of his whip: "According to my decree, the entire army will return to the capital. After winter comes, we will wipe out the Jin thieves."
After winter, the weather becomes cold, and the Fen River will also freeze. Then the flood will naturally recede without treatment, and after a period of time, there will be no obstacle.
More than 200,000 troops gradually retreated southward and returned to the eastern capital of Luoyang.
Before the retreat, Yan Liang ordered Zhang Liao to lead an army of 30,000 men and station them in Pingyang County to monitor the Jin army's movements.
When the army under the command of Yan Liang returned to Luoyang City, the entire city was filled with tens of thousands of people, crawling on both sides of the royal road to welcome the triumph of their great king.
In this battle, Yan Liang conquered the Han Kingdom, wiped out Wuhuan, and expelled Liu Bei from Han. He fled to Goguryeo. These huge achievements have reached ancient times.
In the eyes of the enemy prisoners who were brutally treated by Yan Liang, Yan Liang was the greatest tyrant in the world, but in the eyes of the people of Chu, Yan Liang was a truly wise king.
The land equalization system allowed people to have fields to cultivate, and the imperial examination system gave ordinary people the power to serve as officials. It valued science and allowed the status of skilled craftsmen to rise...
Yan Liang's various national policies have enabled those who originally belonged to the lowest class of society to obtain things that they never dared to dream of in the past.
As for those so-called wealthy families, in the years of war, they were either destroyed by Yan Liang because of their stance, or they suffered huge trauma during the war and their power gradually declined.
Although the war destroyed a lot, the huge sacrifices opened up a bright path for great progress.
Yan Liang, who returned to the Eastern Capital, continued to use his absolute authority as a "tyrant" to implement various thunderous strategies to strengthen the country and enrich the people.
The golden autumn is passing and the weather is getting colder.
Yan Liang on Jinque Terrace spent most of the autumn in the gentle countryside.
At dusk that day, Yan Liang was enjoying fine wine on the Jinque Terrace. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, dressed in light gauze and thin clothes with charming charm, were waiting beside them.
When he was enjoying his drink, the maid outside the palace came to report that it was Princess Gaoyang who was seeking an audience outside the palace.
"Yu'er is here." Xiao Qiao's expression changed and he looked at Yan Liang.
"Send her in." Yan Liang waved his hand and ordered.
Not long after, I saw a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl in gorgeous clothes, walking lightly into the palace.
"Daughter, please pay your respects to your father." The girl was full of joy and her voice was very sweet.
Yan Liang laughed, waved his hand and said: "Yu'er, don't look at me, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Father." The girl straightened her slender waist and looked up at Yan Liang's lovely little face, with a sweet and intoxicating smile.
The girl in front of me is Zhou Yu, the surviving daughter of Zhou Yu.
When Yan Liang conquered Jiangdong, mother and daughter Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu were abandoned by Zhou Yu, and they all became prisoners of Yan Liang. Zhou Yu was only seven or eight years old at that time.
Yan Liang took Xiao Qiao as his concubine. Seeing that Zhou Yu was handsome and lovely, he recognized her as his adopted daughter and took care of her with great wealth.
Later, Yan Liang became king and emperor, and Zhou Yu's status also rose. Until a few years ago, after Yan Liang moved the capital to Luoyang, he made her the princess of Gaoyang.
Although Zhou Yu is Yan Liang's adopted daughter, the adopted daughter is not her biological daughter after all. Yan Liang does not make her a princess, but makes her a princess, which is considered an extra honor.
Over the years, Yan Liang has been fighting abroad and has not seen Zhou Yu for almost a few years since he moved the capital to Luoyang.
People say that women undergo a major transformation, but it has not been seen in the past few years that Zhou Yu turned out to be gentle and charming, with a look that would have the power to overwhelm a country or a city.
It's no wonder that Zhou Yu is known as Jiangdong Meizhou Lang. Xiao Qiao has the beauty of a fish and a wild goose, and Zhou Yu has the embryo of a beauty in her body. It's not surprising that she has grown into such a stunning appearance.
"I haven't seen you for several years, Yu'er, you look more and more like your mother." Yan Liang looked at Zhou Yu and praised with a smile.
Zhou Yu's shallow dimples suddenly showed a blush. She said in an embarrassed low voice: "My father made fun of my daughter. How dare my daughter compare to her mother."
Zhou Yu's delicate and silky voice was like being wrapped in honey, which made Yan Liang's head tingle. It was so comfortable that he couldn't help but laugh again.
Zhou Yu had another blessing at this time, and sent greetings to his mother Xiao Qiao and his aunt Da Qiao.
The faces of Big and Little Qiao turned slightly red, and a bit of embarrassment flashed in their eyes.
The two of them obviously did not expect that Zhou Yu would come to pay respects at this time. At this moment, in order to please Yan Liang, the two of them were only wearing light gauze and thin clothes. They were nothing in front of Yan Liang, but in front of Zhou Yu, a junior, they looked a little bit.
Not very decent.
Da Qiao was embarrassed, so he said goodbye to Yan Liang and left, while Xiao Qiao also excused himself to go back to the inner room to change and borrow some clothes.
It was rare for her mother and daughter to meet each other. Yan Liang was in a good mood, so he didn't embarrass them and nodded in approval.
Da Qiao lowered his eyebrows shyly and covered his chest with his arms, while Xiao Qiao retreated to the inner room to change into some decent clothes.
After Er Qiao retreated, Yan Liang waved to Zhou Yu: "Yu'er, come closer and let me take a closer look at you."
Zhou Yu then stepped up the steps and came to Yan Liang with light steps.
A faint girly body fragrance hit her nostrils, instantly making Yan Liang feel relaxed and happy.
Looking at Zhou Yu again, she has indeed inherited her mother's beautiful heritage. Her skin is like snow, her figure is slim and graceful, her peaks are tall and proud, and the deep ravine between the peaks adds a thrilling beauty.
"As expected, like mother, like daughter..." Yan Liang sighed with emotion, his eyes wandering wantonly on Zhou Yu's face.
Zhou Yu noticed something was wrong in Yan Liang's eyes. His face, which was still a bit baby-fat, quietly blushed. His watery eyes were lowered, and he did not dare to look at Yan Liang.
This little girl actually knows how to be shy...
However, Zhou Yu's shy look was just like the white peach petals with a hint of pink and tenderness, which made her even more attractive.
"Yu'er, come and sit here." Yan Liang patted the dragon couch next to him.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then shyly approached, and gently sat beside Yan Liang with her slightly raised buttocks.
"Come, have a glass of wine with your father." Yan Liang handed the glass of wine to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's face turned redder and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly condensed, wondering: "My daughter is too drunk, I'm afraid..."
"How can my adopted daughter not know how to drink? No problem, just have one drink." Yan Liang said with a grin.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to disobey, so she took the jade cup and took a shallow sip. Then she raised her head and drank the glass of wine slowly.
When she raised her head, her jade neck, which was as pink as a lotus root, and the wriggling movement of her throat were even more breathtakingly beautiful.
Yan Liang, who was slightly drunk, looked at the young and energetic girl in front of him, and seemed to have returned to the passionate years of his youth. The eagerness in his heart grew quietly like a flame.
Under Yan Liang's gaze, Zhou Yu drank a glass of wine, and the wine halo on her face was like autumn clouds, making her even more beautiful.
When Yan Liang saw a few drops of wine stains on her red lips, he raised his hand and gently wiped the corners of her mouth without any scruples.
When his fingers touched Zhou Yu's delicate lips, Zhou Yu's girl's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
