At dawn, the autumn rain for more than half a month finally stopped slowly, and then, a round of red sun jumped out of the sky, scorching hot, radiant, illuminating the whole land, and what appeared in people's eyes was a shocking picture!

Overnight, dozens of miles of area near Yecheng have all turned into a country of water, three or four feet deep, eight or nine feet shallow, frogs chirping, swimming fish in groups, the original high hills, soil slopes, but also turned into isolated islands, only revealing a small top!

As far as the eye can see, the water is full of debris, branches, dead grass, flags, tents...... The corpses of people and horses can be seen everywhere, and the death is even more terrifying, and there are a small number of survivors, either crawling on the treetops or huddled in the island, soaking wet and shivering!

At this point, the gold, silver and jewelry - no comparison with a steamed bun, noble status - not as good as a piece of clothing, cold and hungry soldiers, completely lost their minds, in order to compete for a little food and clothing, or a piece of wood to escape, they did not hesitate to draw knives, kill each other, and even bite like beasts!

Many people secretly swore that as long as they escaped with their lives, they would immediately return to the grassland, never set foot in the Han soil for the rest of their lives, and tell their children and grandchildren that they would never be enemies of the Han Dynasty......

The Xianbei people were the most miserable, the location of the camp was the lowest, and they were the first to be hit by the flood, countless casualties of men and horses, almost all the troops were wiped out, and the big leader, Kebineng, was also drowned and turned into food for fish and turtles!

The situation of the camp in Liaodong is slightly better, with a little buffer time, and the higher terrain, it is better to escape one or two adult horses, the rest died in the waves, the whereabouts of the prince Sun Kang are unknown, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive!

The Karasuma people had the best luck, there were several high slopes near the camp, and the soldiers went up to take refuge, and even more than 10,000 people and horses survived, and then fished out driftwood in the water, made a raft with hair and horse tails, and fled to safety!

When the flood came, Badun and Yuan Xi were plotting in the camp, feeling that something was wrong, the two of them ran away, and they actually escaped with their lives, they didn't dare to stay any longer, and reluctantly gathered the remnants of the rest of the horses, and fled directly to Youzhou!

Karasuma, Xianbei, Liaodong more than 100,000 horses, can be said to be a failure, the situation in Yecheng is not optimistic, not to mention being surrounded by water on all sides, the flood also rushed into the city, the water depth of the flat land is three or four feet, although it did not drown a few people, but it seriously affected life!

"Woohoo! --The sudden arrival of the flood is a punishment from heaven, which is the sin of the Yuan family, killing the father and slaughtering the brother, heaven will not tolerate it! ”

"This is the destruction of the Yuan family, if we are obsessed, there will be no good end, it is better to take refuge in Prime Minister Cao Cheng early!"

……………………………………

Streets, houses, beds, furniture...... All soaked in sewage, people can only climb on the roof to escape, there is no bedding to keep out the cold, there is no dry firewood to keep warm, and they can't eat a mouthful of hot rice.

The soldiers of the Yuan army were the same, in the face of the surging flood, coupled with the cold and hungry, they completely lost their fighting spirit, took off their armor one after another, still dropped their knives and guns, or secretly went home to visit their wives and children, or used the door board to draw out of the city, ready to surrender to the Cao army!

"The dam collapsed, the flood was overflowing, this must be a trick of the Cao army, who can retreat the water, retreat the enemy, and protect Yecheng safely, this general will not hesitate to reward ten thousand gold!"

"So far, there is no other way but to give up Yecheng, go to the Youzhou area to take refuge, and at the same time gather the remnants of the soldiers, maybe you can recover the lost territory!"

"There are floods on all sides, and there are Cao Jun eyeing you, if you escape there, it is better to negotiate with Cao Cao, cede the land and call the hostages, and send hostages, maybe there is a way to live!"

…………………………

Faced with this situation, Yuan Shang also panicked, so he had to convene civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures, but the matter has come to this point, even if Bai Qi and Sun Wu are resurrected, what can be done, it is nothing more than two ways to escape and surrender!

The civil and military officials and the gate lords of the scholar clan all understand that the flood besieges the city, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the Yuan Mansion will collapse, what they are thinking about now is not how to retreat from the enemy, but how to protect themselves, the only way to survive is to surrender to the Cao army, but if you want to keep the glory and wealth, you must prepare a little greeting gift, such as opening the gate of Yecheng, or cutting off someone's head?

………………………………………………………………………………

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

"Kill! --Kill! Kill! ”

At the same time, Cao's army attacked on all fronts, and the brigade crossed the Zhangshui, first camped on the surrounding heights, tightly besieged Yecheng, and then sent a large number of men to search for the remnants of the three divisions, and salvage the spoils by the way!

As early as half a month ago, Cao Jun moved the camp to a high place to avoid the flood, and at the same time secretly sent orders to the soldiers, cut down trees, make rafts, and selected soldiers who were proficient in water and good at driving boats, and now they all came in handy!

After the catastrophe, there will be a great plague, countless corpses floating on the water, if not dealt with, it is easy to cause the plague, Cao Jun salvaged the corpses everywhere, and then threw them into the deep pit to bury, encountered the surviving enemy soldiers, and all the prisoners came over, kept as coolies to use!

Without spending a single soldier, annihilating more than 100,000 horses of foreign races, such a brilliant victory is enough to go down in history, Cao Jun cleaned up the battlefield, but also deeply admired Da Sima, who is really unpredictable and unparalleled!

In addition, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong were all burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and the people on both sides of Zhangshui were deeply affected.

The people rowed small boats, held long hooks, searched around in the water, found weapons, armor, flags, and surviving war horses, all of which were sent to the Cao army camp in exchange for some food, cloth, and other household expenses!

If you encounter the remnants of the enemy soldiers, the people don't say a word, all of them are pestled into the river, and not a single person is left alive, it is really revenge, there is a grievance and complaining!

The next step is to plug the gap in the embankment and let Zhangshui return to its old ways, otherwise, the flood will flood and inundate Yecheng, and it will be difficult for hundreds of thousands of Han people to survive!

………………………………………………………………………………

On the shore of Zhangshui, thousands of diggers gathered on standby, preparing a large number of stones, sandbags, ropes and stakes...... Used to seal the gap, Xiao Yi stood on a high slope, personally commanded everything, and vowed to tame this 'evil dragon!' ’

After the heavy rain stopped, the water was much calmer, and Xiao Yat sent people to open twelve ditches on the south bank to further reduce the water level, but it was still difficult to block the breach of the embankment!

"Qi Qi Da Sima, the gap is widened, the water is very fast, the last general will lead people to throw stones and sandbags, and they will be washed away in an instant, it is really difficult to block!"

The yellow squirrel looked nervous, stepped forward to tell the situation, after a night of fierce impact, the gap expanded to more than 20 zhang, the river water continued to rush out, can not be blocked within a day, Yecheng is afraid to be flooded!

"Don't worry, I have a complete plan, and I will definitely be able to close the gap and let the brothers do what they are told!"

Xiao Yi looked at the surging river and showed a confident smile, remembering that when he was thirteen years old, a flood broke out in the land of China, thousands of miles of the Yangtze River, and there was a crisis everywhere.

In order to support the flood relief, I donated two months of pocket money, but a 'huge amount', and I squatted next to the TV every day, watched the live broadcast of the gap, and learned a lot of knowledge, which is just right to use today!

"Woo! --Woo! Woo! ”

Before the words fell, a fleet of boats came to the river, all of which were three or four zhang walkers, which were full of large stones, the waterline was pressed very low, and there were more than a dozen sailors rowing on both sides.

Jiang Qi was born in a poor family, since he was a child, he has been fishing for a living, so he is proficient in water, a few days ago, he received Xiao Yi's order to search for boats, carry boulders, and stop in the lower reaches of Zhangshui to stand by, which is to plug the gap!

When the fleet came to the vicinity of the gap, the sailors pulled out the corks at the bottom of the boat, and then gathered in a boat, rowing quickly to the shore, and a dozen large boats full of boulders slowly sank to the bottom of the river, and the water near the gap also became slow!

At the same time, the diggers moved a large number of boulders, first chiseled out the nostrils of the ox on them, and then connected them with iron locks, and pushed them into the gap in turn.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers threw stones, threw sandbags, and quickly repaired the embankment, and both sides went hand in hand, and it only took half a day to complete the closure of the embankment, and the turbulent Zhangshui was finally tamed!

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! --- great Sima Wansheng! ”

……………………

After the victory was completed, the soldiers waved their arms, chanted slogans, and their voices rose wave after wave, and with only a few thousand men and horses, they defeated more than 100,000 enemy troops, and did not hurt their own people, they created a miracle, and they will be famous in history!

After the blockade was completed, Xiao Yi passed down the order, on the loess embankment on both sides, a large number of pines and cypresses were planted to stabilize the soil and prevent flooding, after a few years, the pines and cypresses were abundant, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the two banks were green and green, and the name of "Huanglong Gorge" also disappeared, and it was replaced by - Qinglong Gorge!
