Xun You looked back and saw a section of the city wall collapsed at the northwest corner, and a flood surged in. Hundreds of soldiers standing in the northwest corner were unable to escape and fell down the city and were instantly swallowed by the flood.

Xun You slowly stood up. This was his most worried thing. The northwest corner was the warehouse, which involved a large amount of material transportation. Before he could strengthen the foundation, the soil under the city was loose. He was worried that the city wall there could withstand the impact of floods. The situation was even more difficult than he thought. In just two hours, the city wall collapsed.

The entire city wall was quiet, and tens of thousands of soldiers watched silently as the flood rushed into the city, the houses collapsed, the warehouses were destroyed, and tens of thousands of stones of grain were flooded by the flood. Thousands of soldiers carrying grain ran to the city desperately, shouting in fear. Many people could not run enough and were swallowed by the flood. Death was so close that they were so close that many young soldiers squatted down and covered their faces and sobbed silently.

Xun You's heart was like a heavy rock pressing on him. He had never felt so confused and stressed in his life. At this time, Xun You looked east and could clearly see the Han army camp on the hill without any damage. I wonder what Liu Jing would feel when he saw the scene in front of him?

At this time, Liu Jing was standing on the hill, with hundreds of generals behind him. He silently watched the flood below the mountain with his hands behind his back, watching the flood siege Ji County. This was Jia Xu's plan. As early as last winter, he knew that the biggest weakness of Ji City was actually not the loose soil, but the fact that it was in the Wei River puddle. Once the spring flood came, Ji City would face a great threat.

"How did the military advisor know that there will be water damage this year?" Liu Jing turned around and asked Jia Xu curiously.

Jia Xu smiled, "I am from Longyou. I know the climate and geography of this area. Forty years ago, I encountered a flood in Jicheng. Half of the people in the county died of floods. I remember very clearly that it was because Jicheng had three consecutive droughts for three years. There would be heavy floods for a long time. That winter, the snow in Longyou was particularly heavy, and this time it was the same. It had three consecutive droughts. As a result, four consecutive blizzards this winter, the Wei River would inevitably surge. As long as it guided a little, huge floods would form."

At this time, Pang Tong said worriedly, "But in this way, the entire Weishui Valley will be affected."

"There is nothing, it's just a radius of hundreds of miles. This area is just a depression. When we head south, the terrain becomes higher again, which is similar to our current location and cannot be flooded."

"But there will still be many civilians suffering from floods, and this area is a densely populated area."

At this time, Liu Jing looked at Pang Tong with some dissatisfaction, "Shiyuan, this is a war, not a game for children. If we don't have to flood Jicheng, when will we take Longxi?"

Pang Tong lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Liu Jing looked at Jicheng again and said coldly: "It's a pity that Cao Cao's cavalry is not there, otherwise he would have drowned 20,000 cavalry, and I have no worries anymore!"

"There is no way. If Cao Cao's cavalry is in Longxi, we may not be able to enter the Wei River. As the saying goes, there will be gains and losses, so the governor of the state will not regret it."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Now the Cao army should have no combat power, so we can talk to Xun You."

Liu Jing nodded and looked back at a group of civil servants following the army. At this time, the chief Ma Liang came out and bowed and said, "Prince, I am willing to go to Cao's army to talk."

Before dawn, the east sky had turned pale. Liu Jing stared at the city with his hands behind his back for a moment, and then said lightly: "Let's go in three days!"

Two days passed in a flash. The time came early in the morning of the third day. The sky gradually became brighter. There was still a vast white area inside and outside the city. The city had been flooded. The length of the city wall collapsed was two miles away. The flood was less than five feet away from the city wall. Tens of thousands of soldiers squeezed on the top of the city and survived three days with difficulty. At this time, they were almost desperate and waiting for the arrival of a moment of death in great fear.

Xun You didn't sleep well for the past three days, and he was extremely tired and could no longer hold on. He slept with a blanket when it was almost dawn. At this time, a soldier woke him up, "Wake up, military advisor!"

Xun You felt a split headache. He sat up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Military advisor, Liu Jing has sent an envoy."

Xun You was stunned and hurriedly sat up. The soldier pointed at the water, "See, Military Advisor!"

Xun You also saw it, and saw several soldiers slowly approaching here in a sheepskin raft. A scholar stood on the raft. He whispered: "I am the commander of the Han army, Ma Liang. I am here to pay homage to Mr. Xun on the order of the governor of my family.

At this time, Xiahou Dun hurried over, and he was also a little anxious. Last night, two gangs of soldiers robbed food and killed each other, and hundreds of people died. He realized that the soldiers were almost unable to get through.

He also wanted to negotiate with the Han army, but he was unsure of how to talk, but one thing was certain that he would rather be a prisoner of war than surrender.

"Military advisor, the Han army envoy is here, how can we talk to him?" Xiahou Dun stepped forward and asked worriedly.

Xun You sneered, "General Xiahou, this is Liu Jing's first ritual and then military service. The so-called peace talks are to let us surrender in his way. We have no choice, so you might as well listen to Liu Jing's attitude."

Xiahou Dun didn't say anything for a long time and finally nodded, "Please give the military advisor the decision!"

In fact, the biggest headache for Xun You was Xiahou Dun. He was always self-righteous and couldn't see the situation clearly. If he really wanted to negotiate with Liu Jing's envoy, the biggest obstacle was Xiahou Dun. It would be better to let him participate together. Thinking of this, Xun You immediately said to the soldiers: "Please come by the Han army envoy!"

After a moment, Ma Liang followed the soldiers to Xun You and gave a bow with a smile, "Student Ma Liang, see Mr. Xun!"

"It turns out that it is the white-browed horse Ji Chang. I have long admired the reputation of the virtuous. Please sit down!"

Ma Liang bowed to Xiahou Dun again, but Xiahou Dun snorted coldly and turned around. Ma Liang didn't care and sat down opposite Xun You, then said: "This time I ordered the governor of Fengzhou to meet Xun Military Advisor Xun, mainly to discuss how to end this war. My governor of the state is a kind person and does not want to kill again."

Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Dun next to him sneered: "Digging the Wei River to flood the city, how dare you claim to be kind?"

Ma Liang sat upright and stared at Xiahou Dun and said with a high voice: "Please understand that our two armies are enemies now, either you die or I live. The two armies fight, use the right time and place, and defeat the enemy without fighting. Are there few such cases of war? General Xiahou is also a veteran who has been fighting for many years. If one day he can dig a river and flood the Han army, will General Xiahou be compassionate?"

"I will not be compassionate to the heavens, but I will never claim to be kind and be polite, kill me, and say what I am doing with compassion?"

Ma Liang shook his head and sighed, "The light of fireflies is better than the bright moon. My family's patriarch is compassionate to the people of the world. How can a general on the battlefield know? General Xiahou, if you don't understand, you can ask Prime Minister Cao and ask him to tell you."

At this time, Xun You quickly smoothed out the situation and said, "Let's not get out of the topic, please return to the topic!"

Xiahou Dun had a blue face and stopped talking. Ma Liang smiled and said, "My family's governor has two roads in front of your army, one is martial and one is also a literary one. Please choose for yourself."

"So what about Wu, what about Wen?"

"Wu means we withdraw our troops. Two months later we will burn the corpse and eliminate the plague. Wen means we will send the officers above Ya General to leave, including Military Commander Xun and General Xiahou, but we will want the army."

Xun You's face looked very ugly and he couldn't speak for a long time. At this time, Ma Liang stood up and saluted and said, "Mr. Xun and General Xiahou should consider it! I'll come and listen to the reply tomorrow morning and say goodbye."

Ma Liang bowed and turned around and left. Xun You did not stop him. He looked at Ma Liang's raft with his hands behind his back and walked away. After a long time, he sighed.

"Does the military advisor plan to agree to him?" Xiahou Dun next to him said with a gloomy face.

Xun You shook his head, "This is not my own business. You must discuss with General Xiahou before making a decision."

"I don't think there is anything to discuss. I, Xiahou Dun, cannot do such a thing. If Military Advisor Xun wants to leave, I will not stop me. I will lead the soldiers to fight the enemy to the end."

After saying that, Xiahou Dun turned around and left quickly. Xun You looked at him and walked away, his eyes full of bitterness. Liu Jing had already made it clear. Two months later, burning the corpse to eliminate the plague, how could he fight the Cao army again? Does he really not understand?

At night, Xiahou Dun was woken up by the soldiers, "General, what's wrong? Something happened?"

Xiahou Dun sat up, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that there is a plague in the army." The soldier said nervously.

"How could it be?" Xiahou Dun yelled with wide eyes.

He lifted the blanket and stood up suddenly and said, "Where are you? Take me there quickly."

The soldiers took Xiahou Dun to a dozen large tents at the end of the east wall of the city. This was a temporary military doctor's tent. It had been martial law and soldiers were not allowed to approach. At this time, a military doctor stepped forward and bowed, and said nervously: "Report to General, 54 people have been infected with the epidemic so far, vomiting and diarrhea, and their lives are in danger."

"How could a plague occur?"

The military doctor sighed and said, "After tracing, it was a soldier who hid his brother's body and refused to discard it. As a result, his brother's body had a lesions. The soldier was the first to get infected and it was transmitted to people around him, spreading very quickly."

Xiahou Dun immediately ordered: "If it cannot be cured, Ju immediately kill and burn all the sick soldiers. Don't wait for them to die, and you can't delay any more."

The military doctor bit his lips and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid the sick soldiers will hide it and dare not tell the truth. Instead, the epidemic will be even worse."

At this moment, another soldier escorted dozens of infected soldiers and walked slowly. Xiahou Dun quickly dodged away, covered his mouth and nose, and a tooth general stepped forward and whispered: "General, it seems that something is wrong. There are more than a thousand soldiers with diarrhea, and hundreds of people have begun to get fever. Now the people in the army are panic and very panic, and they are starting to kill each other."

Xiahou Dun immediately said angrily: "Why do you kill each other?"

"Once a soldier develops diarrhea, he will be killed immediately by other soldiers and thrown into the water. Hundreds of General Yin's subordinates have been killed."

Xiahou Dun was stunned for a while, and then sighed for a long time, and said to the personal soldiers on both sides: "Let's go to Military Advisor Xun."

Xiahou Dun walked towards the south wall with concern, and along the way, he kept hearing soldiers crying and shouting: "I don't want to die, I want to surrender, I want to surrender!"

This made him feel even heavier. Soon he came to Nancheng. From a distance, he happened to see Xun You pacifying the soldiers. Xiahou Dun did not disturb him, but stood aside and waited. At this time, Xun You also saw Xiahou Dun and walked forward and said, "General, do you know about the plague!"
