"I've seen the tragedy in White Horse City, too!" Speaking of the people in White Horse City, Chen Zhi was also indignant: "It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have hunted down the Wei army with you."

Hey, now that Da Sima has arrived, he is helping the people in the city, and the Wei army has also crossed the river, let's go back first, you have to deal with this injury as soon as possible.

We are now old, and our body bones are not recovering faster than when we were back then, and we have been injured, so we have to deal with it as soon as possible. ”

"It's okay, go back and see Da Sima first!" Zhao Yun nodded, turned on his horse and returned to White Horse City with Chen Zhi.

On the side of White Horse City, Zhuge Liang has already arrived with his troops.

Zhao Yun had been out to hunt down the Wei army for half a day, and Zhang Ren ordered the cavalry to go out and cut down a large amount of firewood to come back and keep the people warm.

People will not starve to death in a short period of time, but they will freeze to death, and the people will have no food and clothing, so the top priority is to solve the problem of heating the people first.

The Wei army's grain and grass baggage were also left, mostly some grain and grass and tents for camping, etc., and there was also a lot of wood.

After Zhuge Liang arrived, on the one hand, he asked the soldiers to bury the pot to cook rice and cook porridge for the people, and on the other hand, he asked the tents to be raised and give priority to women, children and the elderly. The rest of the young and strong people were temporarily housed in abandoned houses.

Although the cotton clothes are not yet in place, and it is very cold in both tents and houses, there is a charcoal fire for heating, and no people will freeze to death.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren led the army back to White Horse City, only to see that the situation in White Horse City was much better, tents were set up on the streets everywhere, and no people were frozen outside.

The Han army also set up a porridge shed and was cooking porridge, and after a while the people would have hot porridge to drink.

Next, it is only necessary to prepare cotton clothes for the people and assign them to live in other cities.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Zhao Yun was in a much better mood, and came to the mansion with Chen Zhi to meet Zhuge Liang.

"Yun Chang appeared on the White Horse Battlefield? Is there such a strange thing? ”

When Zhao Yun and Chen arrived at the mansion, they heard Zhuge Liang's voice. Walking into the hall, I saw Zhang Ren saying something to Zhuge Liang.

"Apparitions? Who apparitioned? General? Chen Zhi walked in and asked Zhuge Liang.

Seeing Zhao Yun coming back, Zhang Ren hurriedly greeted him: "Zilong, you came back just in time, you were also there at the time, you talk to Da Sima." Well? You're hurt? ”

"Don't get in the way, it's just a small injury!" Zhao Yun waved his hand and said to Zhuge Liang: "Da Sima, Yun Chang has really manifested his spirit, if it weren't for his manifestation to warn, I'm afraid that I would have been swallowed up by the Yellow River at this moment." ”

"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly." Zhuge Liang said with a frown.

Zhao Yun knew that Zhang Ren was telling Zhuge Liang about Guan Yu's apparition just now, so he told Zhuge Liang in detail about the situation he encountered, as well as his later speculation with Zhang Ren, and Wei Jun's behavior.

A lot of the knowledge that Zhuge Liang learned is related to metaphysics, and although he does not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, he is not a complete atheist.

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Zhuge Liang hurriedly walked to the map and observed the map.

After looking at it for a while, Zhuge Liang clapped his palms and said, "If there is really such a thing as a manifestation and Wei Guo's reaction is so strange, then your guess is probably correct."

You look at the map, the upper reaches of Baimajin, the riverbed is very high, once the embankment bursts, the flood hits, the White Horse City will definitely be submerged, I and other tens of thousands of troops are not prepared, can An be spared?

As soon as the Yellow River bursts, the losses of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be small, and the flooding of the Yellow River will be large, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover in more than ten years.

At that time, Wei will have enough time to recuperate, which is indeed a strategy that can turn the tables for Wei. Sima Yi's methods are vicious, it's not that he can't do this kind of thing. ”

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Don't worry, along the Yellow River, I have already sent cavalry to patrol, and Sima Yi wants to break the embankment, but there is no chance." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "No, Sima Yi will not give up easily, in the section of the Yellow River in Yanzhou, Sima Yi has no chance to do it, but what about Sili?" I remember the section of the river in Guancheng County, and the riverbed was also very high.

Sima Yi was unable to break the embankment here, and it was very likely that he would send someone to dig the Yellow River in Guancheng County. If the embankment bursts there, although it will not be able to flood us, the harm will also be endless! ”

Zhang Renyan's face changed when he heard this: "Oops, I only thought of our side, thinking that if the Yellow River burst its embankment and could not flood us, Sima Yi would give up, but he ignored the territory of Sili!" ”

Zhuge Liang slapped the table and ordered to Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, you immediately lead two thousand cavalry, day and night, rush to Sili, inspect the Yellow River, you must be fast, Sima Yi is likely to arrange men and horses to break the embankment in advance!" ”

"Yes!" The matter was urgent, Chen Zhi didn't say anything, and immediately went down to lead the cavalry to set off.

"Hopefully, it's still too late!" Zhuge Liang walked back and forth in the hall, and his heart was extremely uneasy.

On the other side, Sili Henan County, Guancheng County.

In the territory of Guancheng County, there is also the Yellow River flowing through, and Guancheng County is on higher ground, the Yellow River flows eastward, and a large amount of sediment is piled up at the bottom of the river, resulting in a very high riverbed.

In later generations, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, in order to prevent the Japanese invasion, the national army frightened Huayuankou in this area, causing the Yellow River to burst.

"Dig for me, and before sunset today, you must dig through the embankment."

On the banks of the Yellow River, more than 1,000 Wei troops were desperately busy.

Guo Huai had already received Sima Yi's letter and began digging the Yellow River embankment three days in advance.

The embankment of the Yellow River is very high and very wide, and if you want to dig it by manpower, it will take at least three days.

After three days of excavation, the Wei army finally dug a hole of more than 20 meters in the Yellow River embankment, and continued to push inward, causing the Yellow River embankment to become thinner and thinner, as long as it reached a critical point, the surging water in the Yellow River would automatically wash away the weak embankment.

Under the embankment, some Wei troops were responsible for excavation, and some Wei troops were responsible for removing the excavated soil, and on the left and right, the piled up soil had become a small mountain.

On the embankment that had not yet been excavated, Sima Zhao was directing the soldiers to carry out the excavation work.

A soldier walked up to Sima Zhao and said to Sima Zhao: "General, General Guo Huai has just sent a letter, Zhuge Liang has entered Baima yesterday, and General Sima has led his troops to retreat to Hebei.

In the southern direction, Shu general Huang Xu is also about to be killed, let your side speed up your actions, arrive in Luoyang before noon tomorrow, and then retreat! ”

Sima Zhao waved his hand and said, "I know, you go back immediately and tell General Guo Huai that before it gets dark today, the Yellow River embankment will be dug through!" ”
