Chapter 1354: Flooding Nanjiang City
"If there is rain in the entire land of Samba, it can also slow down Liu Jun's march." It can only be said that Wei Yan's heart is really big.
Within two days, the area from Hanzhong County to Pasir County was raining continuously.
That night, the clouds dispersed, revealing a bright moon, and the moonlight illuminated the earth, and the puddles of water on the earth reflected the moon in the sky.
God is so magical, a while ago there were dark clouds, at this time the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, what a beautiful picture of nature.
Wei Yan didn't think that Sima Yi's true intentions were there.
It rained for two days, Wei Yan had been nesting in the room, and the night was good at this time, so Wei Yan came out to breathe, and enjoyed the night scenery by the way.
And Ma Chao has quietly moved the soldiers and horses to the high ground, and has prepared enough rafts for him to use in the past two days. Now Ma Chao is waiting for Sima Yi to launch a strategy.
Sima Yi and Xiahou Yuan upstream have blocked the river. This rainfall is very large, and due to the topography, the upstream has stored enough water to flood Nanjiang City.
"The time has come!" Sima Yi gave an order.
A large group of Liu soldiers frantically pulled the hemp rope in their hands, and one end of the hemp rope was tied to the giant tree blocking the river.
Pulled, the giant tree moved, and the debris blocking the river was instantly opened open a gap.
The river, which had already been full, was like a giant dragon, roaring downstream.
Wei Yan looked at the moon in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a lot lighter, in the past two days, information has been sent to him, just as he thought, there is heavy rain in the land of Samba, and the rain here in Brazil is relatively light, and Ba County and Padang County are much more severe. Because of the impact of this heavy rain, Gao Shun's march was delayed a lot.
Wei Yan thought that God was still taking care of Yizhou, and when the situation was critical, a heavy rain came, which delayed Yizhou for two days. Wei Yan believed that Liu Bei and Xu Shu must have made some arrangements in the past two days, but he had not received them yet.
Wei Yan rarely recalled some memories over the years, from Runan to Jingzhou, and then to Yizhou, step by step, it was not easy for him. Wei Yan wondered why he remembered these things. It's rare to have such an experience in life, and Wei Yan doesn't care about it anymore.
When Wei Yan was thinking about life, Sun Qian walked quickly to Wei Yan's side, arched his hand and said, "General Wenchang, there is a letter from the lord's side." ”
"Oh? Big brother has letters? Wei Yan was interrupted from his thoughts.
Sun Qian handed Wei Yan a sealed letter, which was dedicated to Wei Yan and had never been opened. However, Liu Bei sent not a letter, but two, one for Wei Yan and one for Sun Qian. In the letter to Sun Gan, there were some things that Wei Yan could not see. After Sun Qian read it, he understood that his last letter to Liu Bei made Liu Bei suspicious of Wei Yan.
Wei Yan didn't know anything about this, he opened Liu Bei's letter to himself in front of Sun Gan, and after reading it carefully, he sighed: "I have the drag of my eldest brother, but my eldest brother trusts me so much. ”
In this letter, Liu Bei kept encouraging Wei Yan, and said that it didn't matter if he didn't care about the loss of a city and a place, it didn't matter much if the land of Sanba fell, the most important thing was that Wei Yan would definitely save his life, and the two brothers would share weal and woe in the future and reunite again.
The content of the letter warmed Wei Yan's heart, and he felt that it was really a blessing to have such a big brother.
However, when Liu Bei wrote this letter, he scolded Wei Yan to death.
Can Liu Bei not scold Wei Yan to death! At the beginning, Liu Bei believed that Wei Yan had the ability to defend Ba County, Ba County, and Badong County, so he so generously handed over all the land of Sanba to Wei Yan. also gave Wei Yan enough power, and even Wei Yan recruited troops privately, even if Liu Bei knew the news, he pinched his nose and admitted it.
But the result?
Let's not talk about the loss of troops. Ba County is now attacked by Gao Shun's troops, Jingzhou Liu Jun is rampant in Ba County, if it weren't for the heavy rain in the past few days, I'm afraid that Jiangzhou City, the seat of Ba County, will not be protected. Yan Yan also entered Badong County, and Liu Bei didn't know what the situation was now. Ba County was in a mess, and the situation in Ba Dong County could not be sent to Liu Bei through Ba County.
And what made Liu Bei most angry was that Sima Yi sent a huge sum of money to Wei Yan, and Wei Yan actually wanted to swallow it privately at first. Fortunately, it was discovered by Sun Gan, and most of them were finally sent to Liu Bei. Sun Qian told all the situation at that time, Wei Yan was very righteous on the surface, but in fact he was unwilling at all in his heart.
There are also Sima Yi's letters, Liu Yu's holy decree, Liu Bei looked angry when he looked at it. Liu Bei had to wonder if Wei Yan was moved by Sima Yi and wanted to rebel. In the end, there was a five-day appointment proposed by Sima Yi, Liu Bei knew at a glance that there was a conspiracy, Wei Yan was indifferent and did not take any response, which made Liu Bei very disappointed.
At the moment when it is time to employ people, Liu Bei has no available generals around him, and Liu Bei can only endure Wei Yan's various behaviors.
In Liu Bei's letter to Wei Yan, he proposed to let Wei Yan observe carefully, seize the fighter plane to give Sima Yi a fatal blow, and then wave his army south to drive Gao Shun out.
Wei Yan also hoped that this was the case, he really wanted to destroy Sima Yi. But Sima Yi is now shrinking, and it is clear that he knows that Gao Shun has already sent troops, and he will wait for his own changes before taking countermeasures.
Wei Yan saw that in the end, he really couldn't do Liu Bei's order.
If he wanted to defeat Sima Yi, Wei Yan felt that it was difficult. If he wanted to wave his army south to support Ba County, Wei Yan felt that it was even more difficult. His cousin Wei Xiang also got in, and he didn't know how to explain it to his elders.
Wei Yan's face was full of sadness, and he sighed: "Gongyou, it seems that I was wrong at the beginning. You shouldn't be confronting Sima Yi here. As a result, I can't get out of it now. ”
Indeed, Wei Yan made a big mistake at the beginning. If he can't take Nanjiang City, Sima Yi will not withdraw for a day. Wei Yan arrived in Nanjiang City, once he left, his morale would inevitably drop greatly, and it would be difficult for Nanjiang City to hold it.
"If it weren't for General Wen Chang, Sima Yi would have already broken through the Nanjiang River and driven straight into Brazil County." Whatever Sun Qian can say, it's all wrong, and now it can't be changed.
It's good that he doesn't keep silent.
Wei Yan knew that Sun Qian was comforting him, but this was the only reason that Wei Yan had been convincing to others for so long.
"Hey! The situation is so difficult! The eldest brother asked him to defeat Sima Yi as soon as possible, how easy it is to say. Wei Yan told the truth in his heart.
Sun Qian had long known about Liu Bei's order to Wei Yan, and he also found it difficult, but fortunately, Sun Qian was not in charge of this matter.
Wei Yan, who was at the tip of his ears, heard a rumbling sound, and was immediately shocked, this seemed to be the sound of ten thousand horses galloping.
Sun Qian was surprised when he saw Wei Yan's face, and asked suspiciously, "Why did the general's face change drastically?" ”
Wei Yan didn't have time to respond to Sun Qian, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from.
This time, there was no need for Wei Yan to answer, Sun Qian also heard this rumbling sound.
"Is it an enemy attack? With such a loud voice, there are not a few people? Does Sima Yi have so many soldiers and horses? Wei Yan was very skeptical.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, a silver ribbon appeared in Wei Yan's eyes. Not an enemy attack, but a terrifying flood! A monstrous flood that is enough to submerge Nanjiang City.
"Flood! A monstrous flood! Wei Yan screamed in fear.
In an instant, Wei Yan understood everything. Sima Yi is not only a big gift, but also a five-day appointment, why Ma Chao runs back and forth many times and does not attack, it is completely to attract Wei Yan's attention. In fact, Sima Yi knew that there would be heavy rains in the past few days, blocking the river above the river, storing river water, and using water attack tactics.
"Tongjiang! Water Attack! It's Sima Yi's trick! General, we've been tricked! "Sun Qian is not stupid, he also understands.
It's a pity that it's too late to wake up now.
All the soldiers of the Yizhou Army in Nanjiang City saw the flood coming, and their faces turned pale with fright.
The topography of Nanjiang City is very special, like a small basin like a valley, with cliffs on both sides. As soon as this flood comes, it will submerge Nanjiang City.
There has never been a flood in so many years. The soldiers could guess that it was Sima Yi's poisonous plan.
"I'm so stupid! I didn't expect Sima Yi to be so vicious. Sima Yi! You don't have to die well! Wei Yan looked up to the sky and scolded.
"General, evacuate quickly!" Sun Qian pulled Wei Yan away, the water and fire were ruthless, if you prepare now, there is still a way to live.
"Retreat!" Wei Yan hurriedly walked towards the city, he had to quickly find materials that could be used as a raft, otherwise he would die here this time.
The city of Nanjiang was in chaos, and the soldiers were frantically looking for things that could save their lives, and they used all the items that could float on the water.
It's a pity that their movements are still a little slower, and the monstrous flood comes quickly, like a huge beast, slamming into Nanjiang City. The tremendous force made the Nanjiang city wall shake a little.
With the blocking of the city wall, the flood will not be able to enter the Nanjiang City for a while and a half. But the water level continued to rise, and soon it overflowed the walls and flowed into the city. The defenders' faces turned pale, and they knew that this time was over.
Floodwaters poured in through the cracks in the gates, and the tremendous pressure eventually broke through the gates. Floods are swarming in! All the creatures in Nanjiang City were flooded.
The defending soldiers, horses, civilians, etc., how helpless they were at this time! Even if it is ten thousand enemies, in front of the power of heaven and earth, it is no different from the treatment of ants all the time.
They are frantically trying to ask for life, wanting to grab anything that can keep them on the water.
The amount of water that Sima Yi had accumulated this time was too large, and the flood directly submerged the entire Nanjiang City.
Ma Chao, who had been transferred to the highlands, looked at Nanjiang City, which was submerged in the flood, his face remained unchanged, for such a thing, Ma Chao had seen it a few times, and his heart was already numb.
Both Matthew and Matthew were shocked. Fighting on the battlefield and killing countless people, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie will blink their eyes. It is really vicious to destroy a city from men and women, young and old, to such a scheme.
In the end, they are young and weak at heart.
Ma Chao said to the two brothers: "Get the raft ready!" When the flood stabilizes, give me all the money and find out Wei Yan for me!" Remember, when I met Wei Yan, I didn't want to see him gasping again! ”
Ma Chao only needs Wei Yan to die. As for whether to persuade Wei Yan to join the Shenwu Imperial Court, Ma Chao didn't think about this question. As long as Wei Yan is killed, it will be a broken arm of Liu Bei, and it will be much easier to take the land of Sanba.
"Yes!" Matthew and Matthew should be hand-over.
Ma Chao then said: "If you can, if you can save some people, you can save more people." ”
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie instantly respected Ma Chao, their brother seemed to be brutal, but he was actually quite benevolent.
has been following Liu Yu for a long time, and Ma Chao is somewhat benevolent. So many innocent people died in the flood, Ma Chao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Sima Yi and Xiahou Yuan had already led their troops to the cliffs near Nanjiang City.
Looking at the flood below, Sima Yi was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Haha, this time I want to see what Wei Yan can do!" ”
Xiahou Yuan arched his hand and asked Sima Yi, "My lord, what will the last general do next!" ”
"General Xiahou, please also lead five hundred soldiers to quickly go to the bottom of Nanjiang City, and this official has concluded that Wei Yan will definitely flee from there! Please kill him, General! Sima Yi said in surprise.
"Huh? With such a flood, Wei Yan can still escape? Xiahou Yuan found it hard to believe.
Sima Yi chuckled and said, "General Xiahou, don't underestimate anyone around Liu Bei, they are powerful." Go ahead, don't be run away by Wei Yan. ”
Xiahou Yuan arched his hand, indicating that he had been taught, and immediately took five hundred elite soldiers to the bottom of Nanjiang City. However, Xiahou Yuan was full of disapproval, if Wei Yan could escape such a flood, it would be a real fate.
Sima Yi continued to appreciate his masterpieces. What can be solved by a flood, why not Sima Yi. As a strategist, you should observe the heavens, understand geography, be good at driving people, and understand current affairs. Sima Yi is one of the best, and predicting the weather like this is a piece of cake for him, but Sima Yi usually doesn't show it.
And the soldiers around Sima Yi admired Sima Yi, and easily destroying a city was simply unpredictable. With such an adult leading them, they can be invincible.
"Kong Ming, you have taken Wudu County! I made the first contribution. I'm going to take Brazil County soon! Let's see, whether you are about to arrive in Chengdu, or if I captured Liu Bei alive. Sima Yi secretly compared with Zhuge Liang.
Thinking that he would be able to overpower Zhuge Liang in the future, Sima Yi laughed gloomily.
This smile was even more chilling on Sima Yi's handsome face, under the illumination of the moonlight. The admiration of the soldiers of Liu Jun for Sima Yi turned into fear.
