The high waves, carrying trees and mud and sand, roared down from the heights in the northwest direction, breaking the calm of Wuyang County.

The roaring sound of the raging flood mixed with more and more broken branches and stones rushing down the hearts of the onlookers was the greatest shock, and the hand of the god of death was gradually approaching in the laughter of the flood.

Zhang Yan's shout was like a pebble sinking into the sea, without stirring up a trace of waves.

The Han troops near the county town of Wuyang all noticed the flood at this time, and after a brief shock, they became chaotic and rushed to the heights.

Zhang Yan rode a white dragon horse, rode his horse and galloped wildly, took the lead in waiting for the high place, avoided the direction of the flood, and kept shouting loudly at the soldiers below on the high slope.

"Boom!"

The flood came too fast, the huge waves slapped directly on the city wall of Wuyang County, and suddenly stirred up countless waves, the burning Wuyang County City, in the face of the sudden flood, was like a flat boat in the sea, the flood rushed directly into the city gate, the huge fire was directly extinguished by the flood, and a hot gas steamed up and floated into the air.

The Han army near the county seat of Wuyang County, in the face of such a huge wave, did not have the slightest ability to resist, whether it was people or war horses, they all rushed towards the high slope.

However, the flood came so fast that only about two or three thousand people were able to run up the high slope, and the rest of the people were swept away by the sudden flood and drowned in the huge waves, whether it was people or horses, there was no sound.

Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun and others stood on the high slope. They all looked at the county seat of Wuyang County that had become an ocean below the high slope. In the midst of this ocean. There was almost no shadow in the county seat of Wuyang, except for a lone tower, which had been submerged by the flood.

At this moment, Sun Quan, who was standing on the top of the mountain, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw such a scene, and he did not hesitate to use tens of thousands of people in order to deal with the invading enemy. The direction of the river was changed, and the county seat of Wuyang was turned into a new river to block the advance of Zhang Yan's army.

The huge basin has become an ocean, and the wide river has been flowing from here, stretching far away, without the slightest momentum of stopping.

Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun and others stood on the high slope, facing such a vast ocean, they were extremely lost, and the ferocious flood washed away everything. The more than 10,000 living beings were wiped out in an instant, and less than 3,000 remained.

The cost of this battle is simply too great. The 30,000 troops brought by Chen Deng were almost wiped out, and the 10,000 troops brought by Zhao Yun lost more than 7,000 people at this time......

Just when everyone thought that this was the end, suddenly a man pointed to the northwest and shouted: "The enemy ships are coming!" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun and others looked in the northwest direction, but saw hundreds of warships sailing here along the current, each warship was full of archers, all full of bows ready to shoot, the warship hung a unified flag, only embroidered with a huge "Zhou" character embroidered on it.

Zhang Yan looked carefully, but saw Zhou Yu standing on the deck of a building ship, the big flag with the word "Zhou" fluttering in the wind, whirring above Zhou Yu's head, Zhou Yu was wearing armor, and he looked extremely majestic.

Without waiting for Zhang Yan and the others to react, large and small warships quickly sailed along the current, and when Zhou Yu gave an order, all the archers on the warship released dense arrows and shot towards Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun and others.

"Retreat! Retreat! Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately ordered.

All the soldiers withdrew to the bottom of the high slope and into the woods, and those who ran slowly were killed by arrows.

Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun and others escaped by luck, seeing that Sun Quan had invested almost all his troops, and even Zhou Yu led the naval army to kill here, I have to say that they have been preparing for a long time, it seems that Chen Deng's action is in the hands of Sun Quan.

"King Yan, what should we do now?" Zhao Yun hurriedly asked.

Zhang Yan frowned, his face was gloomy, and he said reluctantly: "Withdraw the army back to Yixian!" ”

With Zhang Yan's order, everyone immediately retreated, and walked about five miles to the east before encountering Zhou Tai and Chen Deng.

At this time, Chen Deng had already woken up from his coma, but the arrow was too deep, and it was right in the heart, so no one dared to pull out the arrow.

After Zhang Yan arrived here, he immediately came to visit Chen Deng, Chen Deng was ashamed after this defeat, and after seeing Zhang Yan, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"King Yan, I'm ......" After Chen Deng saw Zhang Yan, he exerted all his strength and said ashamedly.

Seeing that Chen Deng was seriously injured, Zhang Yan was also distressed, and hurriedly said: "Don't speak, heal the injury!" ”

"Nope! King Yan, if I don't say these words, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Chen Deng said weakly.

At this time, Zhou Tai came to Zhang Yan's side and whispered: "His Royal Highness King Yan, I have seen a military doctor just now, and the military doctor said that the general was too seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will not survive tonight." ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, he no longer stopped Chen Deng from speaking, he squatted down and grabbed Chen Deng's hand, his eyes revealed endless sadness, and tears rolled in his eyes little by little, and he said in a choked voice: "Yuanlong, what do you have to say, just say it, I'm listening quietly here." ”

"King Yan, I was too conceited in this operation, so that I had such a big defeat, I'm sorry for you......"

"Yuanlong, don't say that. I am like a brother to you, you are like my brother, if it were not for you, I would never be where I am today! You and my brother, there is nothing to be sorry for anyone, victory or defeat is just a common thing in soldiers, you don't take it to heart. Zhang Yan persuaded him.

Chen Deng knew that Zhang Yan was persuading him, although it was common to say victory or defeat, but this time the failure was entirely on him, if he did not insist on going his own way, even if he listened to the advice of Lu Su, Liu Ye and others, he would not have such a big defeat, not only ruined the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, but also affected Zhang Yan.

"King Yan, the responsibility this time lies with me, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the soldiers, Lu Su and Liu Ye have persuaded me, but I was already carried away by the victory at that time. I just want to eliminate the Sun clan as soon as possible. Pingding Jiangdong. In order to create my own merits. But I failed, and I also harmed the lives of so many soldiers, I Chen Yuanlong was a hussar general in vain, a Yangzhou pastor in vain, a man in vain, and I am ashamed to ...... King Yan."

"Brother Yuanlong, if you don't say a word, I have also been defeated. Don't blame yourself too much, I see everything you do, this defeat is just a trivial matter, you take good care of your injuries, and you have regained your vitality. When I return to Jinling, I will definitely find the divine doctor Hua Tuo to heal you......"

Chen Deng suddenly grabbed Zhang Yan's hand tightly and said, "King Yan, my injury. I know for myself that I'm afraid of my life. Before dying. I have something to say to King Yan......"

"Well, you say!"

Chen Deng looked around at the group of people standing beside him, and when he wanted to speak, Zhang Yan understood, and immediately said: "I have a few words to say to the hussar general, you all retreat first!" ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone left, and after walking far away, Chen Deng said: "King Yan, my life is short, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive tonight." It's not a pity for me to die, but Jiangdong is undecided, and I can't see if I die. ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely mobilize troops and horses as soon as possible to pacify Jiangdong!"

"Also, after I die, I ask King Yan to remove me from my official position as a hussar general and demote me to a concubine as a punishment for my defeat this time. In addition, the post of Yangzhou pastor can be held by Lu Su. Lu Su is cautious, quite proficient in the art of war, and very good at handling government affairs, so it is most suitable for him to take over my position. In addition, Liu Ye, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Feng Xi, Liang Mao and others are all available talents, and they are very familiar with the affairs of Jiangdong. ”

After Zhang Yan heard this, his head was like pounding garlic, and he said again and again: "I know." ”

Chen Deng then said: "King Yan, there is one person, you must not entrust you with a heavy responsibility, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be problems......

"Who?" Zhang Yan hurriedly asked.

"The right general is forbidden!" Chen Dengdao.

"Yu Ban?" Zhang Yanhu asked suspiciously.

Chen Deng said: "I know that King Yan is very important to Ban, and I can't deny that Yu Ban is indeed very good at fighting, but this person is so happy and jealous, he looks fearless on the surface, but his heart is extremely fragile and can't withstand temptation at all." Yu Ban is stationed in Xunyang, bordering Liu Biao's Jiangxia and Sun Quan's Nanchang, if he has been allowed to stay in this place, sooner or later there will be chaos, it is better to summon him to Pengcheng, seal him a false position, rise and descend secretly, and dismiss his military power, only in this way will there be no chaos. ”

Zhang Yan frowned, Chen Deng's words were really to the point, in history, Yu Ban was once captured by Guan Yu, and he chose to surrender at the beginning, although he later returned to Wei, but he was abandoned by Cao Pi and sent to Cao Cao to guard the spirit.

After Yu Ban surrendered, even Cao Cao was surprised, and followed him for a lifetime, but when he encountered major events, he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Since Yu Ban had such a scene in the official history, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come again. And the position he is stationed in now is also between Liu Biao and Sun Quan, which is a triangle, in case of a rebellion, it will be really difficult to get it.

So, Zhang Yan also made up his mind in his heart, preparing to descend from the forbidden light. However, Yu Ban is a very talented person, and after he leaves, who will be stationed in Xunyang has become a new problem.

Zhang Yan thought about it, but decided to ask Chen Deng to see if Chen Deng had any suitable candidates. He asked, "I know, but if you are transferred out of Yu Ban, I don't know who will take his place?" Yuanlong, do you have any suitable candidates? ”

"Zhang Liao, the general of Huya, is the most suitable candidate, King Yan can transfer Zhang Liao to Xunyang for garrison, which can protect the southeast!" Chen Dengdao.

Zhang Yan nodded and silently wrote down Chen Deng's words, but when he saw Chen Deng's eyes glazed and his pupils dilated, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and probed under Chen Deng's nose, but he couldn't feel Chen Deng's breathing, Chen Deng was dead.

"Yuanlong!" Zhang Yan immediately shouted loudly.

Zhang Yan's shout immediately attracted the people around him, Zhou Tai took the lead in running over, and when he saw that Chen Deng was dead, he knelt on the ground with a puff and cried: "The general ......" (to be continued......
