Chapter 351: The city of Ye is about to fall by the Zhanghe River
After being yelled at by Shen Pei, Shen Rong did not dare to say any more. Shen Pei also needed Shen Rong's help in defending the city, so he could not push too hard, so he could only comfort him: "Rong'er, it's not like you don't know Liu Jiyu's policies. If you let him
After taking control of Jizhou, how can we, the aristocratic families, have a place to establish themselves? Many aristocratic families in Jizhou have already moved to Xuchang under the pressure of Liu Zhang."
"These people are short-sighted, how can they be compared with our generation?" Shen Rong curled his lips with disdain. After he thought about it, after Liu Zhang became the overlord of the north, he would definitely deal with Cao Cao. There was no difference between implementing Liu Zhang's policies early and implementing them late.
. However, he thought so in his heart, but said vaguely: "What my uncle said is true."
"Alas" Shen Pei understood that Shen Rong was being dissatisfied, and he sighed. In fact, even Shen Rong could see it, how could Shen Pei not see it, but he couldn't lose face and surrendered to Liu Zhang?
There is a reason. He was highly regarded by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang. He couldn't bear to betray his old master, and he didn't want others to say he was disloyal, so he was prepared to sacrifice his life to gain fame.
After being interrupted by Shen Rong, Shen Pei did not want to send troops to stop Liu Zhang's army from breaching the embankment. Of course, even if he sent troops, he would not be able to stop it, and he would just die in vain. After pretending to be on the Zhang River embankment for a long time, when he saw that there was no movement in Yecheng, Zhang
Fei, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun, under the command of Jia Xu, really dug in. As for Guan Yu and others who were ambushing under Ye City and preparing to take the opportunity to attack the city, they naturally withdrew and moved their troops to higher ground to avoid harming Chi Yu.
"Boom... swish..." It may be difficult to build a levee, but it is very easy to dig one. More than 10,000 people worked together, and it didn't take much effort to dig up the Zhanghe River embankment. Although it was not the flood season, the Zhanghe River embankment was still open.
The water in the river has always been abundant. Once the levee broke, the river water poured out along the breach, turning into a flood in an instant, and the breach became larger and larger under the erosion of the flood.
What does a flood look like? Maybe not many people have seen it, but if you are lucky, it is best not to see a flood in your life. The highest point is pushed to nearly ten meters. When a wave comes, it is like a glutton swallowing everything.
Water and fire are merciless, the power of nature is unstoppable
"Uncle, look!" Shen Pei, who was defending Ye City, had already ordered countless sacks and straw bales to block the four gates of Ye City in order to prevent Liu Zhang from bursting the embankment. But when the flood came, Shen Rong still
Unavoidably a little panicked
Following Shen Rong's finger, he saw only a white line appearing in the sky. This white line became thicker and thicker, and gradually turned into a wall of water, pushing towards Ye City. The wall of water hit the city wall of Ye City with a crash.
It broke into pieces and turned into waves, splashing everywhere. What's worse, it even sprinkled on Shen Ping's face.
In the weather in September and October, the heat gradually subsides, but despite long-term exposure to the sun, the temperature on the top of the city in Yecheng is nearly 30 degrees in the middle and afternoon. The splashing water actually makes the top of the city cool, but
This coolness can lead to fatal disasters. Along the cracks in the city gate, the water gradually flows into Yecheng. Although there are sacks and other objects blocking it, the water is pervasive.
The area near Yecheng has turned into a vast land. Shenpei stood on the top of the city, watching the water level below the city getting higher and higher, feeling very anxious, while Liu Zhang stood on a high hill, frowning, looking at the water below.
Flooding.
"Gan Ning" Liu Zhang suddenly shouted.
"The last general is here" was called by Liu Zhang. Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Fei quickly poked him out with his finger.
Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "I asked you to collect ships. How many did you collect? The water is your world. I not only want you to defeat the enemy, but also save people."
"Lord," Gan Ning clasped his fists and said, "My subordinates only collected more than 200 fishing boats near the Zhang River, which is not enough. I ordered my soldiers to build hundreds of rafts, which should be enough."
"Very good," Liu Zhang said with a smile, "but you have to be careful not to let our soldiers get hurt just because you are saving others."
"Don't worry, my lord," Gan Ning said, "What does this little water mean? Even if the Yangtze River floods, if you throw those bastards under my command into it, you may not be able to drown even one of them."
"That's very good." Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It's just not enough. In the future, it will not only be the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, but also the sea. When we wipe out the north, we will build a seaport in the Bohai Sea and wait for you to ride in the sea. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River will not be mentioned.
"
"Yes," Gan Ning said, "I have also seen the sea before. Unfortunately, the boat was too small and almost overturned before it entered the sea. It is estimated that only Jiangdong's tall ships can sail in the sea."
"What are the big ships?" Liu Zhang said: "In the future, our ships will be several times larger than the big ships, and we will attack Jiangdong directly from the sea. I heard that Sun used Jiangdong's navy to conquer the Yangtze River, so I asked him to do so, and I directly led the way.
When the army enters the sea, I want to see how the Jiangdong navy defends the thousands of miles of coastline."
"My lord is a hero." Gan Ning was fascinated by what Liu Zhang said. He could not help but clasp his fists and said: "When the time comes, please don't forget me, lord."
"That's natural." Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Now you immediately lead the troops to patrol to see if any soldiers or people are drowning. If there are, rescue them to higher ground. It will take a few days for the flood to recede."
"My subordinates understand." Gan Ning clasped his hands and turned around. After a while, sampans and rafts sailed into Zeguo. Gan Ning's soldiers all removed their heavy armor and wore only leather armor, leaning against the water.
Drifting in the flood, like dragons
"Jinfan's Gan Xingba is indeed extraordinary." Xu Shu stroked his short beard under his chin and said, "With this navy general, my lord will have a greater chance of winning when he conquers Jiangdong."
"What is Jiangdong?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Yuanzhi, do you know what the weather is like at the end of the sea?"
"This..." Xu Shu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"If I told you that the world is a big ball, starting from the Bohai Bay and driving around the big ball, you can still return to the Bohai Sea. Would you believe it?" Liu Zhang's eyes were burning, which made Xu Shu feel uneasy.
"The ancients said: The sky is round and the earth is round. How can my lord say that the world is a big ball?" Xu Shu asked with a smile: "Even if the sky and the earth are really a big ball, how can my lord know it?"
"Knowing it from birth" Liu Zhang laughed loudly and said: "Yuan Zhi must not believe it in his heart. After we have unified the Han Dynasty, we will slowly study these things."
"Little brother, we will wait and see." Xu Shu smiled and bowed. If anyone else told him this, he would probably slap him away. However, since it was what Liu Zhang said, although he didn't believe it, he didn't dare not believe it completely.
The flood continued to surge, and Gan Ning patrolled the water several times and rescued many people. After a few days, Liu Zhang refused to let him go anymore. By this time, even if there were still people, they were all drowned. Those who were not drowned were also
Starved to death. Of course, in order to avoid plague and disease, Liu Zhang ordered his soldiers to drink boiled water.
Although it was a bit troublesome to make a fire and get firewood due to the flood, fortunately, Liu Zhang discovered an open-pit coal mine, which satisfied the supply of the army. As for the problem of coal being difficult to ignite, how could it be a problem for Liu Zhang? Remember his previous life
When winter came, Liu Zhang would install a coal stove in his house. It was not the kind that burned briquettes, but an iron stove that burned coal directly.
Liu Zhang's army was in the highlands, and Gan Ning led his troops to transport supplies, so life was relatively easy. But Yuan's army in Ye City was in trouble. Although there was still a lot of food and grass in Ye City, how could he eat it without firewood? Even in the past, even if there was war,
Yuan Jun could also collect some firewood at night, but now that the city is surrounded by floods, leaving the city is simply a luxury. Even if he can leave the city, where can he collect firewood? There is a vast country outside the city.
If you don’t have firewood, you can only eat raw food, and you can only drink water that has not been boiled. Eating raw food is not a big problem, but drinking raw water is a serious problem. You don’t know what the flood has been soaked in, so how can you drink it randomly? Even if you drink raw water, you don’t know what it has been soaked in.
The water wells in the city also had floods mixed in, which also caused a big problem. Sergeant Yuan died, and many people began to have diarrhea and diarrhea, just like the plague.
There were only some doctors accompanying the army in Ye city, and it was difficult for them to do any bandaging, let alone check for internal diseases. Seeing that the symptoms of the soldiers were similar, and they were unable to diagnose and treat them, they had no choice but to tell the judge that these people were infected with the plague. They had no choice but to do so.
As a result, Shenpei had no choice but to isolate the sick people, but more and more people got sick.
Half a month later, the flood gradually receded, and Liu Zhang's army came to the city again. Today's Shenpei is no longer as elegant as before. His pale cheeks and forehead are like an old man in his sixties or seventies, full of vicissitudes, but he is only forty years old.
When he saw the tragic scene of Shenpei next year, Liu Zhang didn't want to add insult to injury, so he sent someone to persuade him to surrender. But Shenpei's stubborn donkey couldn't be led away, and he was pushing backwards. Even Yecheng had no power to resist, and he still wanted to die.
Fight to the end
Liu Zhang had no choice but to prepare to attack the city. Just when Liu Zhang's army was preparing to attack, the city wall of Yecheng, which had been flooded for half a month, collapsed due to thermal expansion and contraction under the sun's exposure. Seeing this, Judgment
Pei closed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears fell down his cheeks. Shen Rong, Shen Pei's nephew, couldn't stand it anymore, so he quietly walked down the city wall when Shen Pei wasn't paying attention.
When "Lord" saw that the city wall had collapsed, Liu Zhang was about to order an attack on the city, but Xinpi came to his horse and knelt down.
"Zhiji, what's the matter with you?" Liu Zhang frowned when he saw Xin Pi making this great gift.
"I want to plead for someone." Xinpi half-knelt on the ground, his face pleading.
"You mean Shen Rong?" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Even Shen Pei, if he surrenders, I will not kill him."
"My lord is generous, but I'm worried that Shen Rong will kill himself." Xin Pi said with a bitter smile: "Shen Rong lost his father when he was young, but this uncle Shen Pei is the best to him. If the city is destroyed, Shen Pei will die, I'm afraid..."
"I understand." Liu Zhang nodded, knowing that Xinpi had guessed correctly.
Historically, Shen Rong was dissatisfied with Shen Pei's killing of Xin Pi's family and couldn't bear the loss of life in Yecheng, so he surrendered to Cao Cao in Kaicheng. When he was in Kaicheng, he also killed himself, but Simpi was trapped in the death of his whole family at that time.
In Guang's grief, he had no time to save Shen Rong. Now that Xin Pi's family members were fine, he naturally thought of his good friend Shen Rong.
