Chapter 678 Flooded Jicheng
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Xun You looked back and saw a section of the city wall collapsed at the northwest corner, and a flood surged in. Several soldiers standing in the northwest corner could not 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 a famous general behind him. He silently watched the flood below the mountain with his hands behind his back, watching the flood surround 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 continuous droughts for 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 droughts for years. 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, but within a radius, 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, how long will we take down 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 officers. At this time, the chief Ma Liang stepped out and bowed: "Prince, I am willing to go to Cao's army to talk."
At this time, Xun You quickly smoothed out 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 of them placed in front of your army, one is the martial arts, and you can choose for yourself."
"So what about Wu, so what about it"
"We are withdrawing our troops. Two months later we will burn the corpse and eliminate the plague. We will send the officers above the 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, something is wrong, something happened."
Xiahou Dun sat up and said, "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 going to take me there."
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 lesion. 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 several of them 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 we kill each other?"
"Once a soldier develops diarrhea, he will be killed immediately by other soldiers and thrown into the water. General Yin's subordinates have already 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 on top of it, 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, "The general knows about the plague."
