"Father, you are in the spirit of heaven, you must bless Wang Can from drowning. Even if Wang Can can't be drowned, the soldiers under his command must be drowned, so that Wang Can will be killed by Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and Wang Can will die without a place to be buried. ”

Guan Ping stood in place and roared loudly.

Zhang Bao stood on the riverbank, looking at the surging river, his face expressionless, not knowing what was going on in his heart. Perhaps, Zhang Bao is also constantly cursing Wang Can in his heart, hoping that Wang Can will suffer a catastrophe.

The surrounding soldiers watched the river rushing down a few feet high, and they all felt a chill in their bones, and their bodies couldn't help but shiver. However, when the river enters the moat, the momentum has already slowed down, and it will not be so turbulent.

Zhuge Liang's mood was very low and he couldn't lift his spirits.

Even though the water of the Tangbai River weakens after rushing down, the river will definitely rush into Xiangyang City after rushing into the moat, turning Xiangyang City into an ocean.

The water weakened, and it could not drown people when it poured into Xiangyang City, but what was terrible was that the river water was silting up in the city.

It's summer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

The water of the moat swelled and washed into the city, and after the sun was exposed, the people and soldiers in the city did not drink clean water, ate and damp, and easily fell ill. Zhuge Liang didn't want to see such a huge disaster, but the enmity between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang's desire to appease Guan Ping and Zhang Bao and others, finally chose vicious methods.

Water does not kill people, but it kills.

After a long time, Guan Ping's mood stabilized and asked, "Strategist, what should we do next?" ”

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao attacked Runan and captured Yuzhou and Yangzhou, we definitely can't go." In this way, only the Jiangdong Sun family is left, and my brother Zhuge Jin is also an official in Jiangdong, we went to Jiangdong for refuge, lived under Sun Jian's tent, attacked Wang Can with the help of Sun Jian's strength, avenged the lord, the second general, and the third general, and then continued the blood of the lord. ”

Guan Ping said: "The military advisor is reasonable, let's go to Jiangdong." ”

Zhang Bao also nodded and agreed with Zhuge Liang's decision.

In this way, Zhuge Liang quietly left Jingzhou with Guan Ping, Zhang Bao and Liu Bei's wives and ran towards Jiangdong. However, Zhuge Liang and his entourage did not go to the front line to defect to Sun Jian, but ran towards Sun Jian's hinterland Wu County.

The situation was unclear, and Zhuge Liang chose to avoid war.

……

Xiangyang City, the urn city outside the city was broken and needed to be repaired.

After the weather cleared, Wang Can organized soldiers to repair the city wall and prepare to defend Xiangyang.

As the soldiers were repairing the walls, there was a sudden sound of rushing water from the upper reaches of the moat. As far as the eye could see, the water of the moat was constantly rising, and in the blink of an eye it had flooded over the embankment, and it was still rising. It stands to reason that the Tangbai River is close to the moat of Xiangyang City, and there are countless tributaries around it to discharge floodwater, which has reduced the danger of the moat.

If necessary, the river section can also be blocked to prevent the water of the Tangbai River from flowing into the moat, so as to prevent Xiangyang City from being affected. But all this was in Zhuge Liang's calculations, when the river water intercepted upstream surged, all of them poured into the moat, and immediately raised the water level of the moat, and it rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the forehead began to flow into the city.

"The flood is coming, the flood is coming!"

"Oh no, the footboard is submerged, it seems that the water is getting bigger and bigger."

……

Several soldiers shouted loudly, looking very surprised. Because when it rained a few days ago, there was no flood spread, and now it suddenly appeared, which made the soldiers dumbfounded.

What's going on with all this?

All the soldiers were dumbfounded.

Among them, after a lieutenant found out about the situation, he immediately ordered: "Don't panic, stabilize me, I'll report it." With that, the lieutenant found a horse, galloped towards the city, and reported the matter.

By this time, the river had flowed into the city, flooding the streets.

After Lu Meng learned the news, he quickly entered the palace to meet Wang Can.

In the main hall, Wang Can summoned all the officials, whether they were civil ministers or military generals.

The military generals of Wenchen stood solemnly, all showing solemn expressions.

The sudden flooding of Xiangyang City was obviously man-made and could not have been a natural disaster. Pound stood up, clenched his fists and said; "My lord, I think this is Zhuge Liang's poisonous plan, it must be Zhuge Liang who made people cut off the upstream and downstream water flows, and then blocked the tributaries around the river, so that the river water poured into the moat and thus flowed into the city."

Zhang Xiu said eagerly: "Lord, the last general will lead the troops to the upper reaches of the river to capture Zhuge Liang." He looked at Wang Can expectantly, and wanted to catch Zhuge Liang for meritorious service.

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "It's definitely too late to go now, Zhuge Liang will definitely escape." ”

Wang Can raised his hand and pressed down slightly, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Wang Can said in a deep voice: "After Zhuge Liang flooded Xiangyang, he must have fled, and he couldn't catch up if he went, so he didn't have to worry about Zhuge Liang's affairs." Lü Meng, you and Zhang Xiu led two thousand soldiers out of the city, went to the upper and lower reaches of the moat, dredged the river, slowed down the water situation, and immediately went to execute. ”

"No!"

Lu Meng agreed, and Zhang Xiu turned around and left the palace.

After Lu Meng left, Wang Can turned his eyes and ordered: "Shi A, you send someone to find out the movements of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and find out how long it will take for them to arrive in Xiangyang?" ”

"Yes!"

Shi Ah replied and turned to leave.

Wang Can continued to instruct: "Pang De, Zhang Ren, you are responsible for the stability of Xiangyang, lead the soldiers to maintain order, and do not let there be chaos in the city, and execute it immediately." ”

"The last general obeys!"

The two of them clasped their fists and turned to leave.

Wang Can stretched out his hand and gently tapped on the desk, thinking about what he needed to deal with next.

After a while, Wang Can looked up at Kuai Liang and said, "Zirou, the river rushing into the city will definitely leave residues and stains, and it will also cause disasters to the people, these need to be dealt with by you personally, and it is also the most critical place." You gather the people of the major families and ask them to help you deal with the matter, clean up the sewage in the city as soon as possible, and alleviate the situation, so that no one dies or people are affected. ”

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely appease the people and protect Xiangyang City." ”

After a pause, Kuai Liang said: "Lord, the river enters the city, and the city is already a vast ocean, I am afraid that the food in many people's homes will definitely be damp, and the water source will also be ......."

Wang Can waved his hand to interrupt Kuai Liang's words, and said in a deep voice: "You are the assassin of Jingzhou, although there is only one place in Xiangyang at present, but you are also directly in charge of Xiangyang. If you need food, you draw it directly from the granary. If the drinking water is not clean, you directly ask the people to fetch water in unison. When it comes to political affairs in Xiangyang, you don't need to report it, you have full authority to deal with it. ”

"No!"

Kuai Liang glanced at Wang Can gratefully, and immediately went to carry out the order.

After a while, there were very few people left in the main hall, only Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said; "Lord, Xiangyang City has been flooded, and the city has not been repaired, so I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on. Especially Cao Cao and Sun Jian's vigorous killing, they had to prepare in advance. ”

Xu Shu said: "Our army defeated Liu Bei, but then we fought with Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and we couldn't relax. ”

Wang Can said with a smile: "Cao Cao and Sun Jian are menacing, but they lack confidence and can't last long. I had already sent an order to Fa Zheng and Huang Zhong in Chang'an to launch an attack on Yanzhou, the hinterland of Cao Cao. At the same time, Jia Xu and Gan Ning in the south will also launch an attack and go straight to Jiangdong. These two armies attacked together, and Sun Jian and Cao Cao could only retreat. ”

After Guo Jia and Xu Shu heard this, they were all moved and smiled.
