Chapter 201 Water flooding and water gate

Tian Feng said: "It's June now, and the river water has entered the flood season. If the lord can dig a gap on the south embankment of the river and divert water back into the Sishui Pass, the inside and outside the city of the pass will become a country of marsh. The natural danger of the pass will no longer exist. The 18th Kanto Alliance can pass the pass by by boat, but~~"

Yuan Shao said: "But what?"

Tian Feng said: "But once the river dam is dug, the flood will inevitably flood. At that time, not only will the Sishui Pass be flooded, but it is afraid that hundreds of miles will also turn into a country. The people living nearby will suffer from the disaster. Therefore, before digging the dam, Feng thought that the drainage canal should be dug in advance and built a water blocking dike at the dangerous pass of the mountain pass to control the flooding of the flood."

"Oh, Yuan Hao is too worried." Yuan Shao said disapprovingly, "Since it's a war, how can we not die? Even if the river floods, there are only tens of thousands of people within a radius of hundreds of miles of Sishui Pass. If you die, you will die. What's the most important thing now is to break the Sishui Pass, Hulao Pass, and the army will force Luoyang to relieve the danger of the emperor. As for everything else, you can't take care of it."

Tian Feng wanted to persuade him again, Yuan Shao waved his hand and said unquestionably: "This matter is settled, Yuan Hao doesn't need to say much."

Xu You took the opportunity to compliment: "Those who achieve great things do not care about the details, the lord is wise."

Tian Feng was silent and didn't speak for a while.

Jicheng.

Ju Tu's eyes were red and his head was full of sweat, and he said in a muffled voice: "Military advisor, I am lucky to have lost my life."

Jia Xu trembled when he heard this, a hint of compassion flashed through his eyes, then took a deep breath and said quietly: "Concentrate all the corpses, add more dry wood and white grass, cremate immediately, and then demolish the city walls and burn the whole city. Even if someone escapes by chance, they cannot escape from the sky."

Ju Tu replied with a voice: "Affect the order."

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded and said again, "Send ten fast horses to come and listen to the order."

Ju Tu agreed and took the order. In less than a moment, ten horses and Wuhuan fast horses rushed to him. Jia Xu handed them to the ten horses with the ten books prepared in advance, and then he told them to send them to Xianqin, Yudao, Pingxiang, Xixian, Chengji, Ayang and other counties respectively.

Pingxiang County.

The county magistrate Jingzu was a local gentry, and the Jing surname was also a Pingxiang surname.

After receiving Jia Xu's letter, Jingzu urgently summoned the county magistrate and the county magistrate to discuss matters. The county magistrate and the county magistrate were all local gentry and had a lot of family property. After the ceremony, the county magistrate Jingzu said to the county magistrate and the county magistrate: "Two sirs, Mr. Jia Xu, the chief military advisor of Maliangzhou, just now, sent someone to send a letter. Please check it out."

"oh?"

The county magistrate took the book and browsed it, but the county magistrate asked, "I don't know what the book is saying?"

Jingzu said: "The book says that because Jiang Jie, the prefect of Hanyang, was willing to be a minion for the traitor Dong Zhuo, and accomplice the tiger to help the evildoer, and is unforgivable! However, Maliangzhou did not harm the Jiang Jie tribe. Although the Jicheng gentry once helped Jiang Jie defend the city and killed many soldiers in Maliangzhou, Maliangzhou did not massacre the city because of this. It only moved the gentry in Mancheng to Hetao and demoted them to common people."

The county magistrate sighed and said, "This is also expected. To be honest, Maliangzhou killed only Jiang Jie and demoted the gentry of Jicheng to Hetao as commoners. If it were someone else, not only would the Jiang family be unable to save it, but the gentry of Mancheng in the city would be slaughtered."

Jingzu sighed and said, "The book also said that we can wait for three days to offer the city, otherwise Ma Liangzhou will lead a large army to attack! I wonder what the two adults think?"

At this time, the county magistrate had already read the book and asked back after hearing this: "Now Dong's son-in-law Niu Fu is dead, and his elite soldiers surrender either when they die. The counties in Liangzhou have no leader, but Ma Liangzhou is strong and the troops are in full swing. Does the county magistrate think that the prince Dong Huang may repel Ma Liangzhou and save the situation in Liangzhou?"

Jingzu said: "It's impossible."

The county magistrate said: "At this time, it was too early to say it. If Dong Zhuo could send a large army from Sili to support Liangzhou, plus the defenders of Jincheng, Longxi, Northland, Stable and Zhangye counties, Dong Huang might not have the power to do it. According to the officials, should he delay it for another ten days and half a month and wait for the situation to be clear before making a decision? "

Jingzu said: "I also want to delay for ten days and half a month, but Mr. Jia Xu only gave a three-day deadline. What if he did?"

The county magistrate pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "According to the officials, let's just sacrifice the city! If you don't sacrifice the city, you will be killed within three days. If you sacrifice the city, you can at least protect the city and protect the people of the city. It is really the most important thing to keep the green mountains there, and you won't have to worry about burning firewood. Keeping small property of the family is the most important thing, what do you think?"

The county magistrate sighed: "It seems that this is the only way."

Jingzu hit the clan and said, "Okay, since both adults have decided, then the official will write a letter and submit a letter to Mr. Jia Xu to present the city."

The county magistrate and the county magistrate said in unison: "Make."

Within three consecutive days, the other cities also received Jia Xu's letters, and the reactions of each county were similar to those of Pingxiang. Although the situation in Liangzhou was still unclear, the situation in Hanyang County was already for sure. If you do not surrender to Ma Yue, you will be destroyed in a blink of an eye. If you surrender, you can save everything.

As long as you are not a fool, everyone knows how to choose.

At this time, Jia Xu's arrangement showed power. If Jia Xu had not implemented the inhumane silence, once the truth about the bloody slaughter of Ji City was revealed, the county magistrates and gentry in each county and city of Hanyang County would not have considered the problem like this, and then there would be only one choice before them.

At that time, it was better to just fight with the butcher Ma to the end, maybe you could wait for Dong Zhuo to reinforce the army, and there was still a glimmer of hope.

However, now, because of Jia Xu's vicious plan, the situation in Hanyang County has completely reversed.

After Pingxiang County took the lead in offering the city, the other nine counties also surrendered one after another. In just three days, all the thirteen cities in Hanyang County fell under the control of Ma Yue's army. While Jia Xu reported the victory to Ma Yue with a fast horse, he inspected and appeased the cities. The old aristocratic officials were still entrusted with important tasks by Jia Xu.

Jingzu, the magistrate of Pingxiang County, who was the first to submit a presentation to the city, was entrusted by Jia Xu as the important task of the Hanyang Prefect.

Jiang Jie, the prefect of Jicheng, was executed, and the gentry in Jicheng was demoted to Hetao as a citizen. Within three days, the news that all ten cities in Hanyang were surrendered quickly spread to the surrounding counties.

The prefect of Longxi Dong Huang, the prefect of Jincheng Yan Wen, the prefect of Anding Huangfu Jian, the prefect of Andi, the prefect of northern China, and the prefect of Zhangye Guo Hao and others were naturally furious, but the prefect of two counties was in a dilemma. These two prefects were Wuwei Prefect Fu Xie and the prefect of Wudu Fazhen.

Late at night, the Wuwei Prefect's Office.

Fu Xie asked the confidant general Jiang Laoguan and said, "Old Guy, are you sure you see clearly?"

Mr. Jiang said, "Master, is there any mistake? The villain hid in the crowd and saw clearly. It is clear that how many times did the Hanyang prefect Jiang Jie come to the master's mansion? The villain has met him at least a dozen times. Will he admit his mistake?"

"So Jiang Jie was really killed?"

"Die, it's so dead." Jiang Laoguan said, "Jiang Jiong was tied to a pillar and walked in the front of the team. Passing by the edges of Pingxiang cities, many people went to watch the fun. There were soldiers blocking them and they were not allowed to look closer. However, some people still threw stones and filth at Jiang Jiong's corpse. It was really miserable. But what's even worse was that the gentry in Jicheng, with more than a dozen gentry members, were more than 2,000 people, whether old or young, or men or women, were tied to a rope, and the soldiers were whipped forward, hey."

"Oh~~" Fu Xie sighed and said sadly, "Jiang Yu is also a friend of me, but I didn't expect it to end like this. However, after the Ma Butcher broke the Ji City, he did not massacre the city. The more than a dozen gentry surnameds in the city could still leave more than 2,000 lives, which was quite unexpected to me."

Jiang Laoguan said: "The city was slaughtered. Although more than 2,000 people from more than a dozen gentry surnameds were saved, the other civilians suffered the disaster. They were almost killed by the Bingzhou soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. Now Jicheng has been burned by these tiger and wolf soldiers with fire."

Fu Xie sighed, "That's nothing. People will die in war, and it is inevitable that those big-headed soldiers who are red-eyed and kill people to vent. Besides, these Bingzhou soldiers have just been put under Ma Yue's command, so Ma Yue may not be able to control it. It is already very good that Ma Yue can protect more than 2,000 people from more than a dozen gentry surnameds in the city."

After all, Fu Xie was born in a gentry. Although he knew that he was concerned about the sufferings of the people, he would instinctively tend to favor the gentry family when the interests of the people conflicted with the interests of the gentry.

The dark clouds are covered with water.

Fan Chou said to Zhang Liao beside him in confusion: "Wen Yuan, why are the coalition forces so quiet these days? Not only did no one come to fight, but he didn't send troops to attack the city. It's so strange."

Zhang Liao said: "What is even more puzzling is that the coalition forces lived and retreated for ten miles, and moved the barracks to the hillsides on both sides."

“Kala ~~”

While the two were talking, a dazzling lightning suddenly flashed across the dark sky, and then a thunder like the sky collapsed and cracked on the Sishui Pass. Fan Chou was shocked and looked up and cursed: "This damn thief, it has been raining heavily for three days, and it will be raining today! If this continues, Sishui Pass will be flooded by the accumulated water."

"Well? Flood? Move the camp to the hillsides on both sides, flood? Flood!" Zhang Liao suddenly shouted, "Oh, something is not good, the coalition forces want to divert water and flood the pass."

"What?" Fan Chou said in surprise, "Water drainage? Where does the water come from?"

Zhang Liaosu pointed his hand in the north and said in a voice: "Water comes from the north, river water!"

"River water?" Fan Chou trembled when he heard this and ate, "River water!"

"Boom~~"

When Fan Chou was surprised, he suddenly felt the majestic wall under his feet trembling slightly, and a faint thunder sound was heard in his ears, but it didn't look like thunder. He looked around and found that the soldiers and Zhang Liao on the wall were all shocked, looking around, as if they wanted to find the source of the sound.

"Look, General!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed school student suddenly pointed to the front and screamed shrillly, "What is that in the valley ahead?"

"Um?"

“Huh?”

Fan Chou, Zhang Liao and the soldiers at the pass turned back to the valley outside the pass, and a dazzling lightning broke through the sky again, instantly illuminating the scene in the valley. Under the pale light, a huge flood peak was like a rushing dragon, rushing towards the Sishui Pass from the narrow valley.

In less than a moment, the entire majestic wall of Shishui Pass began to shake, and the world was filled with deafening loud noises. Two shrill screams suddenly sounded from the wall. Everyone looked around in shock and saw that two timid soldiers had been shaken off the wall by a huge tremor.

"Water is a flood!"

"The river is flooding!"

"The flood is coming."

"Run, everyone, run quickly, if you don't run, you will be dead!"

There was a sudden riot when the shutdown was closed, and more than a dozen unlucky guys were squeezed out of the wall. In the chaos of war, Zhang Liao carried Fan Chou, who was already shocked, and stepped down the wall. When he arrived at the stable, he saw that all the war horses had become uneasy and were rushing into the guardrail frantically. The air was filled with intense anxiety, as if the end of the world was about to come.

"ha!"

Zhang Liao first sent Fan Chou to the war horse, then untied the reins and slashed heavily on the horse's buttocks. The war horse was so sad that it raised its four hooves and galloped away. He first sent Fan Chou away. Zhang Liao untied his war horse and turned over and ran towards Hulao Pass.

At this time, except for the chief general Fan Chou, Zhang Liao no longer cared about the soldiers!

In the distance, on a high mountain, eighteen princes were standing in the wind.

Another dazzling lightning flashed through the sky and illuminated the mountain. In the crowd, Cao Cao looked back suddenly and stared at the slender and elegant scholar beside Yuan Shao, Tian Feng! This person is Tian Feng, a famous scholar in Hebei. When he first arrived, he offered a plan to flood and broke through the Sishui Pass. It is indeed worthy of his reputation!

Behind Yuan Shao, Tian Feng's eyes were slightly closed and his face showed pain.

Although the sky was dark and it was difficult to see, Tian Feng seemed to be able to clearly see the tragic situation after the river broke through. The people within a radius of hundreds of miles of the Sishui Pass were struggling and wailing in the flood. The houses were washed away, the livestock were washed away, the crops were flooded, and the relatives were washed away, and everything was over!

Luoyang, the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo was at the mansion to invite the Grand Marshal Yang Biao, the Grand Marshal Zhou Huan, the Situ Wang Yun, the adopted son Lu Bu, and the military advisor Li Ru to accompany each other. Although the war in the Sishui Pass ahead was full of war, the city of Luoyang was still full of peace. Dong Zhuo would summon his confidants every day, or invite the princes and ministers to have a banquet at the mansion.

After three rounds of wine, while drinking, I suddenly saw Dong Zhuo's general Zhao Cen rushing into the hall and said quickly: "Lord, something is not good!"

Dong Zhuo was surprised and said, "Why are you panic?"

Zhao Cen did not answer, and looked at Yang Biao, Zhou Huan, Wang Yun and others on the tour board. Dong Zhuo said anxiously: "The three adults are not outsiders, please tell me what happened?"

Zhao Cen took a breath and said, "Si Shui Pass~~ has been captured by the Kanto Alliance!"

"ah?"

"What!?"

"So you're serious?"

Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Li Ru jumped up almost at the same time. Yang Biao and Zhou Huan on the side also looked solemn and looked worried. Only Wang Yun's eyes had an inexplicable look and disappeared. Then he stroked his hand and fell into deep thought. But no one knew what he was thinking?

Li Ru calmed down first and asked in a deep voice: "The terrain of Sishui Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are also two generals Fan Chou and Zhang Liao in the formation. Although they dare not say that they are as safe as rocks, they are not difficult to defend for a year or two. How come they were captured by the Kanto Alliance after only more than ten days?"

Zhao Cen said: "The military advisors don't know that if the two armies were fighting head-on, it would be impossible for the Kanto Alliance to break through the Sishui Pass within more than ten days. However, they didn't expect that the Kanto Alliance actually dug the embankment on the south bank of the river and diverted the river water back into the Sishui Pass. The terrain of the Sishui Pass was originally low, and it became a Wangyang Ze Kingdom as soon as it was flooded by the river. The Kanto Alliance then broke through the Sishui Pass."

"Zhang Liao, is Fan Chou alive or dead?" Dong Zhuo said anxiously, "Where is the army stationed in Sishui Pass?"

Zhao Cen said sadly: "The two generals are safe, but tens of thousands of troops have only withdrawn 3,000 cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers have been buried in the Zeguo."

"What?" Dong Zhuo lamented and said dejectedly, "Elite, where is the elite of Liangzhou in this general! Hey~~"
