In the opinion of Guan Yu and others, the best time for flooding was when the Yuan army came, and when the Yuan army was defeated later, there was no need to use the strategy of flooding.

It's just Sima Yi's past performance, but Guan Yu and others are convinced. They didn't believe that Sima Yi would not see these things and would do some useless work, so they asked such a question.

Sima Yi smiled slightly twice when he heard this, and said, "General Guan thinks that if he uses the flood strategy when Yuan Jun crosses the river and comes to Chenliu, can he succeed?" ”

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't they just come with river water, why can't the flooding plan succeed?" ”

Not only Guan Yu, but Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also set their eyes on Sima Yi.

Sima Yi Zhengse said: "This time, the four generals of the Yuan army led the troops to help, how could they be easy to match? I expected that these people would have to be careful when crossing the river, so they did not plan to flood the river, nor did they attack them halfway. ”

"As I expected, when Yuan Jun crossed the river, it was not only in sections. Once someone has crossed the Huiji River to the south bank, they form a dense formation to guard against an attack that may come at any time. ”

"Besides, the Huiji River is not very wide, even if it can wash away part of Yuan's army with a large flood, it will not have much impact on the overall situation."

"At this time, the effect of flooding it with river water will not be too great."

"On the contrary, releasing water when they are escaping can cut off Yuan's retreat and way of life, so that they no longer have the will to fight, and they can annihilate them all in one battle, why not?"

As Sima Yi said, the plan of flooding at the beginning, in the face of the guarded Yuan army, even if it can achieve victory, the results will not be too great.

Only then did they start to lure them to the city to kill their main generals first, and then break the Yuan army, and the results would be much greater.

In order to make Chun Yuqiong and others not suspicious because the march was too smooth, Sima Yi also deliberately asked Zhang Fei to lead more than 1,000 men and horses to intercept Yuan's army.

As Sima Yi expected, after Chun Yuqiong saw Zhang Fei's soldiers and horses, she immediately stopped doubting.

He was a tired army from afar, and he didn't want to fight Zhang Fei outside, so he asked Lu Weihuang to intercept Zhang Fei, but he rushed to the city with his soldiers and horses.

Zhang Fei's appearance was not to kill the enemy, but just to dispel Chun Yuqiong's doubts. Therefore, before leaving, Sima Yi also deliberately explained to Zhang Fei that if Chun Yuqiong sent someone to break off, he would not behead the enemy general at once.

It wasn't until Chun Yuqiong was about to resist Chen Liu's north gate that Zhang Fei beheaded Lu Weihuang with great might, and then led his troops to chase and kill him, so that Chun Yuqiong didn't have too much time to think about it, so he hurriedly entered the city.

Sima Yi's strategy was linked one by one, and Chun Yuqiong rushed into Chen Liu in a hurry, that is, when he died. The main general was killed, there were enemy troops in front and behind, and the defeat of Yuan's army was certain at this time.

With the Huiji River blocking the way to retreat, Yuan's army was desperate and had only one way to surrender. Liu Yuzhou did not have many soldiers and horses, and if he could absorb these Yuan troops, he could also expand his own power. ”

After listening to Sima Yi's consideration, everyone immediately bowed to him. Even the proud Guan Yu and the rough Zhang Fei didn't dare to underestimate this young man who had just won the crown.

Not long after everyone entered the city, Guan Ping led the troops back and escorted Han Juzi, who was drenched, to Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to untie him and said: "Let General Han be frightened, and ask General Han to bear more, I don't know if General Han is willing to surrender?" ”

Liu Bei is not a murderous person, he is a thirsty monarch, and he killed Gao Gan, Chun Yuqiong, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao Rong in the previous battle, which was also a last resort.

Now that Guan Ping has captured Han Juzi alive, Liu Bei naturally wants to surrender him.

Han Juzi was shocked, and only after hearing Liu Bei's gentle words did he put his mind at ease.

He thought for a moment, immediately turned his head, and said: "The general of the defeated army, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, Han will never frown!" ”

"Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, a person who is a member of the Yuan family in life, and a ghost of the Yuan family in death, it is impossible for me to surrender."

When he said this, Han Juzi felt a little upset in his heart, hoping that Liu Bei Mo would really behead himself in a fit of anger.

As a general of a defeated army, he just spoke like this for the sake of face and integrity. If Liu Bei can be a corporal and repeatedly ask him to surrender, and when he has earned enough face, this matter is not negotiable.

In this era, there are some people who are loyal to their lords. However, there are still many people, after being defeated and captured, for the sake of their own lives, they will surrender to the situation.

But even if they have the heart to surrender and save their lives, they will not beg for mercy openly, they just set up their scores first, and then wait for a step down.

Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei immediately became furious and said: "You thief will be rude, my brother is so kind to persuade him, you have to be Yuan Shao's subordinate." In that case, I will kill you now and fulfill your loyalty!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Fei drew his sword and stepped forward to kill Han Juzi.

Han Juzi was shocked when he saw this, and secretly complained in his heart. He originally saw that Liu Bei was a loyal, benevolent and righteous person, so he put such a big score, but he didn't run into such a foolish person as Zhang Fei.

Now I have the heart to beg for mercy, but I can't wipe my face.

Liu Bei hurriedly reprimanded Zhang Fei and said, "Yidexiu should be rude!" ”

Zhang Fei laughed twice, pointed at Han Juzi, who was pale with fright, and said: "I just heard him say that if he wants to kill, he will listen to the respect, and he will never frown, so he is playing!" ”

"But I didn't expect that he would be scared like this before he made a move."

When Han Juzi heard this, he was immediately ashamed and indignant, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Liu Bei originally saw that this person was the general of the Yuan army, and thought that he was quite brave and talented, so he wanted to recruit him.

Now it seems that he is a little disappointed, and he immediately has no intention of recruiting Han Juzi.

Sima Yi on the side was very insightful of everyone's thoughts, he looked at Han Juzi, who was pale, and said: "My lord Liu Yuzhou has no intention of being an enemy of Yuan Jizhou, and this time he has no choice but to send troops to Chen Liu. ”

"General, but please rest assured, someone will send you back to Jizhou in good condition."

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Liu Bei. Liu Bei understood, and immediately asked people to take Han Juzi down.

Since Sima Yi was secretly operating this time, he could not reveal his identity for the time being, so in front of Han Juzi, he had to pretend that he was a strategist under Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhongda, even if you don't kill that guy, you can't put him back to be our enemy, right?" ”

Sima Yi showed a strange smile on his face and said, "General Zhang, but please rest assured, even if this person is released back to Jizhou, Yuan Benchu will not leave this person." ”
