"In the third year of the founding of Emperor Xian of the Han Empire, Qin Yang, the Yellow Turban Ming King, and Liu Bei, the uncle of the Han Empire, met in Fancheng. Under the command of Liu Biao, the Jingzhou Army dug four water channels and flooded Fancheng. The floods poured down from the sky, and the entire Fancheng fell into chaos.
Wang Yang. In just one battle, countless fertile fields were instantly turned into quagmire, millions of people were displaced, Jingzhou Army Commander Wenpin and more than a hundred generals were killed in the line of duty, 150,000 defenders were reduced to fish and turtles, mourning was everywhere around Fancheng, and the sky was angry and people were complaining." - "
Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
The sky was gloomy and the wind was howling. The flood was fierce and moved very quickly. In just a moment, after devouring countless lives, only the broken walls and corpses scattered everywhere were left in the huge Fancheng. The floods that had not receded were mixed.
With the blood of soldiers and civilians, looking at the entire land is like a blood swamp hell, which makes people shudder.
On the high hill outside the city, Qin Yang and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were ordered to flee hastily after the disaster were silent. After the flood, the 20,000 elite soldiers of Liu Bei's army who rushed into Fancheng were all drowned, and even the Yellow Turban Army did not have time to catch them all.
Withdrew, nearly 10,000 elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were drowned by the waves during this battle.
"***, Liu Biao is so cruel..." Zhang Niujiao looked at the tragic scene in front of him. Even he couldn't help but swallow hard. He recalled that he was still indignant after receiving the order to withdraw the troops.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Qin Yang hadn't always run the army with strict orders and prohibitions, I'm afraid he would have been rushed into the Xiangjiang River to feed the bastard.
Although the other Yellow Turban generals did not speak, they had the same thoughts as Zhang Niujiao. They never dreamed that Liu Biao, who always claimed to be benevolent and righteous, would actually use such a vicious trick. If the losses were really counted, this scene
The consequences of the flood will probably not be much less than Lu Bu's Shouchun massacre.
Compared to the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei's army was silent. Seeing their comrades being swallowed by the monstrous flood right in front of their eyes, some soldiers in Liu Bei's army even began to sob softly after they recovered.
Among those swept away by the flood were their fathers and brothers, as well as their friends and relatives. If these people died on the battlefield, they might not feel too sad. After all, the cruelty of war is hard for these battle-hardened warriors.
It has become commonplace. But it disappeared so suddenly in front of him, and even the bones could not be found. This sudden blow is hard for anyone to accept.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and even military advisor Xu Shu, looked at the hell-like Fancheng in a daze. Twenty thousand elite soldiers! For powerful princes like Qin Yang or Cao Cao, although they felt a little distressed, they didn't feel sad.
It will hurt the foundation. But Liu Bei is different. Since Liu Bei raised his army, he has been defeated and displaced many times. Even compared with when he occupied Xuzhou, the 50,000 elite soldiers in Xinye now satisfy him the most.
,
Half of it was broken in an instant, and even Liu Bei, who was extremely determined, couldn't help but start to tremble slightly. Tears of great regret overflowed involuntarily from his eyes.
"Liu Biao is a common man! I, Liu Bei, are sworn in with you!" Suddenly, Liu Bei looked up to the sky and roared, his voice filled with deep reluctance and anger. His eyes seemed to want to eat Liu Biao alive, releasing a strong killing intent.
.The golden light floated, and the kingly aura contained in his body spread out uncontrollably. All the soldiers who felt this kingly aura trembled in their hearts unconsciously.
Liu Bei was really angry. When Xu Shu saw his lord like this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and hurriedly took out a tightly wrapped tip bag from his arms. This tip bag was secretly given to him by Huang Chengyan when he was in Wollongong. And Huang Chengyan
He solemnly told Xu Shu that this was a great gift from Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, and he would only watch it when the battle of Jingzhou reaches a critical moment. Now that Liu Bei's army has suffered heavy losses, it must be time...
"Kong Ming, aren't you a god?!" When Xu Shu opened the kit, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart almost stopped beating as if it had been hit hard by something.
After a while, Xu Shu put away the kit with some trembling, and hurriedly came to Liu Bei. There was a strange light in his eyes and said to Liu Bei: "My lord, I have something to say..."
"Your Highness...the envoy from Jizhou asks for an audience..." On the other hand, just as Liu Bei was furious, Guo Jia's voice also broke the silence under the banner of the Yellow Turban Commander.
"Cao Cao's envoy?!" Qin Yang, who was thinking about his next move, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the words. The Battle of Jingzhou had already started for three days. What he was most worried about was the news of Cao Cao's march from the north. But now, not only did Cao Cao not
He ordered an army to attack Qin Yang's rear, but instead sent an envoy?! Could it be that Cao Cao also wanted to use the trick of paying homage first and then attacking?!
"Ask him to wait for me at the Chinese military tent, and order the whole army not to advance rashly, but to stay here and wait for my orders!" As he spoke, Qin Yang had already turned his horse and headed towards the temporarily built Chinese military tent. Because Qin Yang had previously
Yang did not expect that the Jingzhou army would be so tenacious, so no large golden-roofed tent was erected in the temporary camp outside Fancheng.
"Your Highness, Liu Ye, meets His Highness the Yellow Turban Ming King!" In the Chinese army's tent, Liu Ye, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed deeply to Qin Yang who had just entered to show his respect. He had also just learned about the war in Fancheng and knew that Qin Yang
I'm afraid he was angry, so this "royal family" was extremely respectful to Qin Yang.
"Well, what's the matter with Cao Cao calling you here? Did he ask you to come and give me a letter of challenge?" Qin Yang casually snorted and ignored Liu Ye and sat on the main seat.
Seeing Qin Yang acting like this, Liu Ye couldn't help but be more careful, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ming is joking, my lord has something to say. He and His Highness have already cherished each other when they were in Xiangcheng, and they have a close friendship in the imperial capital.
how come……"
"Stop talking nonsense, what are you here for?" Qin Yang took a sip of tea and said in a neutral tone. He was not in the mood to gossip now. Who wouldn't he know about Cao Cao? He wanted to compete for the world.
Which overlord would care about old friendships? Even Yuan Shao, who had been hanging out with Cao Cao since childhood, was captured by Cao Cao?!
"Uh... cough cough..." Liu Ye was choked by Qin Yang's words. He coughed twice before smiling again: "Reporting to His Highness Prince Ming, I am here to conclude an alliance with His Highness on behalf of my lord...
…”
"Covenant?!" This time it was Qin Yang's turn to be startled. After he was sure that he heard correctly, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "You mean Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with me?!"
Liu Ye bowed and said: "Your Highness is wise, my master has this intention. This is a letter from my master to Your Highness, please read it..."
As for why Cao Cao formed an alliance with Qin Yang, even Liu Ye, who was an envoy, didn't know. Even most of the civil and military personnel under Cao Cao couldn't figure out why Cao Cao took the initiative to form an alliance with Qin Yang under such a good situation. You know
, now is the best time for Cao Cao to defeat Qin Yang.
Qin Yang was also suspicious. However, after he unfolded the contents of the online message, he felt much relieved.
"So Cao Cao also knows the seriousness of the matter? This is just right. I was worried that this guy wouldn't believe that such a thing happened..." Qin Yang muttered to himself, and the expression on his face softened a lot. Cao Cao
The arrival of this letter undoubtedly made Qin Yang, who had just lost more than ten thousand elite soldiers, feel much better. After all, compared with this incident, the loss of more than ten thousand elite soldiers was extremely small.
After closing the letter, Qin Yang looked at Liu Ye with a smile in his eyes, "Mr. Liu, I wonder when Master Cao is going to mobilize his troops?"
Liu Ye saw that Qin Yang's attitude towards him had changed completely after reading the letter. He couldn't help but feel relieved and said with a smile: "Return to your highness. My lord has something to say, when will your highness King Ming withdraw his troops from Luoyang?"
When will the Northern Army swear to fight..."
"Hmph! How long has it been since Cao Cao still wanted to take advantage?! Do you want me to give up Luoyang? No way! Go back and tell Cao Cao that if he wants to use this in exchange, then let him give up. Even if I
Don’t ally with them. After I deal with Liu Biao, our Yellow Turban Army can also win!"
Seeing Qin Yang's flat refusal, Liu Ye couldn't help but tremble slightly. But it seemed that he had already received Cao Cao's instructions, and he smiled guiltily and said: "Your Highness, I think you should think twice... Before my lord left, I specifically asked me to bring him to me.
A word from His Highness..."
"What are you talking about?!" Qin Yang's eyes flashed coldly.
Liu Ye gritted his teeth and said: "My lord has something to say... His Highness's Yellow Turban Army is indeed extremely powerful, but time waits for no one at this moment. If Your Highness is delayed due to the war in Jingzhou, I am afraid that the person His Highness wants to save will be in danger...
…”
"What?! How did Cao Cao know these things?!" Qin Yang snapped and stood up, glaring at Liu Ye and roared.
Liu Ye suddenly said with a sad face: "Your Highness, please calm down... I am only responsible for delivering messages to the lord. As for what is going on and who is the person, I have no idea..."
"Well..." Seeing Liu Ye like this, Qin Yang also guessed that he didn't know anything. So he suppressed his anger and sat down again. After pondering for a moment, he finally said: "Okay... you go back and tell Cao Cao and let him
Send people to prepare to take over Luoyang and nearby checkpoints. In addition, tell him that the matter will not end like this. As soon as the Xuzhou matter is resolved, I will ask him for it back with interest! He wants to take advantage of my Yellow Turban Army
.It’s not that easy!”
Outside Fancheng, Liu Bei's military camp.
"Military advisor, are you saying that the Yellow Turban Army will definitely withdraw? Now that the Jingzhou Army's army has almost been wiped out, will he give up this great opportunity to occupy Jingzhou?"
Liu Bei and others had returned to their tents at this time. Liu Bei was obviously still a little confused about Xu Shu's words.
Xu Shu pondered: "Since Mr. Zhuge said this, there must be no truth in this matter. After all, when we were still in Wollongong, Mr. Zhuge had already expected that the Jingzhou army would flood Fancheng with a water attack..."
"Report——! Report to the lord, the Yellow Turban King Ming sent an envoy to deliver the order to the lord!" Just as Xu Shu was speaking, the messenger had already arrived outside the Chinese army's tent and reported loudly.
"Speak!" Liu Bei and Xu Shu's hearts moved at the same time, and they looked at each other and said.
"On the orders of King Ming of the Yellow Turban, Lu Bu of Xuzhou captured Shouchun and massacred millions. Heaven was angry, people were resentful, and heaven would not allow it. His Highness King Ming decided to unite with Cao Cao of the North to defeat the traitor Lu Bu. All the war in Jingzhou was handed over to Uncle Liu, who commanded the army and horses. He will be in full charge.
After His Highness King Ming annihilates Lu Bu's squadron, he will join forces with Uncle Liu to sweep Jingzhou!"
