Knowing that a battle was taking place in Beiying, Cao Mengde and others immediately swarmed in and occupied Jingzhou City like a tide.
But after everyone entered Jingzhou City, the entire Jingzhou City became a dead city. Cao Mengde laughed: "No wonder they are in such a mess, they all ran away and left nothing behind!"
"Something's not right." Sima Yi said, "Master, this, this is too deserted..."
"They couldn't afford to lose. They took all the troops and people out of Jingzhou City, thinking that if only one Jingzhou City was left, we would be unhappy? On the contrary, the reason why Jingzhou City is so important is because of its geographical location. , he is the heart of the Central Plains, and after getting this land, we can attack at will, Xichuan, Jiangdong, Jingnan, Hanzhong, extending in all directions!" Cao Mengde laughed, "In this way, doesn't the whole world belong to us?"
Cao Mengde felt happy, so he asked people to set up a banquet in Jingzhou City, planning to hold the celebration banquet for three days and three nights. After all, Jingzhou can be said to have an extremely important geographical location. If anyone gets Jingzhou, it will be the same. Got a military barrier extending in all directions.
For a time, the city of Jingzhou was bustling with excitement, and 700,000 troops entered Jingzhou together. There were people's mansions as residences, and Cao Mengde directly held a banquet in Jingzhou Mansion where Li Hugo worked.
All the generals and counselors also gathered together to toast to the joy of life.
After drinking for three rounds, Cao Mengde recited a poem. He staggered and sang in front of everyone: "Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time..."
In line with the singing and dancing and the lively atmosphere, the soldiers laughed happily, coming and going one by one, as if it was a big festival.
After all, this battle was not smooth. Cao Mengde lost many generals, including the Xiahou brothers, and many soldiers and horses. The three-day siege directly dyed the walls of Jingzhou red, and the air The smell of kerosene still lingered in the air. It is conceivable that no less than 50,000 people were killed or injured in this battle.
Although an army of 700,000 people was dispatched, 50,000 people was still a lot of money, and there were two generals.
Li Huguo, who was on the mountain in the distance, said slowly: "Be prepared for the second smoke."
The wolf smoke was prepared twice. The first wolf smoke was to get all the troops behind to get into position and begin to excavate the embankment, leaving a thin layer of adobe and waiting for an opportunity.
The second wolf smoke completely overthrew this thin layer of rammed earth.
"Yes!" Zhao Yun said. He turned around and immediately raised the light yellow flag in his hand. When he raised it, the generals in the distance also knew about it and immediately shouted: "Excavate!"
For a time, the dam of the Yangtze River was immediately dug up, and the main stream leading to the sea was filled in. The dam on the side was washed away by the flood, and the huge torrent tilted out like an angry dragon. He ran out of the Yangtze River and broke into the waterway that had been prepared on one side.
The water was so majestic that countless trees and houses were washed away along the way. Many animals along the way were swallowed up by the flood before they could react!
Wild birds in the woods took off one after another, but their voices were instantly swallowed up by the tide. However, the current was overwhelming and approaching Jingzhou City at an extremely fast speed. In Jingzhou, the excitement of the celebration banquet was enough to cover everyone's ears and eyes. .
As Sima Yi walked around the mansion, he always felt that he had missed something. What was it
He kept walking around.
"Ms. Sir, what's wrong with you?" A woman next to her spoke. She was the girl summoned by Sima Yi, Wang Zhaojun. Wang Zhaojun was originally used by Sima Yi as a tool to win over Cao Mengde. However, Wang Zhaojun was too beautiful, so he couldn't let go. .
Wang Zhaojun was also considerate, gentle and considerate, which made Sima Yi's original pain of losing Tang Yuru disappear.
Sima Yi said: "Except for the lack of people in the city, is there anything else going on?"
"All the sacks are gone, and there are a lot of potholes inside and outside the city. They look like they have been dug." Wang Zhaojun said, "Husband, why don't we rest, it's already so late."
"Mud? Sack?" Sima Yi murmured to himself, "Could it be that the soil was knocked into the sack?"
Wang Zhaojun covered his mouth and chuckled: "Husband, are you serious? When did you start joking? Why are you putting sacks of dirt in? Are you talking about eating dirt?"
"Wait a minute, the dirt hitting the sack is not for eating, but for blocking the water flow. It is the spring tide season now, and the water in the Yangtze River is high..."
Thinking of this, Sima Yi's head was about to explode. He almost jumped up. When he jumped up, Lao Gao screamed: "Ah! No, we have fallen into a trap!"
With that said, Sima Yi ran away, trying to find Cao Mengde. However, he ran too fast, and unexpectedly stepped on the air and fell directly to the ground. Wang Zhaojun in the distance exclaimed: "Ms. !”
Sima Yi put his ears to the ground, his pupils getting smaller and smaller: "There is the sound of water, sure enough!"
He got up with difficulty and rushed towards the capital. At this time, Cao Mengde was already half drunk, because Jingzhou was a place that Cao Mengde thought about day and night. He even dreamed of taking this place down. , and then drink wine here to reward the soldiers of the three armies.
So he drank a lot: "These people are really interesting. They took away everything but left so much good wine! Hier, people say that Jingzhou's wine is second to none in the world. I didn't believe it at first." , but now... I believe it, I remember this wine! Hahaha!"
"Congratulations, Prime Minister, congratulations, Prime Minister!" Many civil servants around him also expressed their approval.
However, at this moment, Sima Yi came over. Sima Yi cried out in distress and immediately said: "My lord, it's not good!"
"Oh, come on, come on Zhongda! There is good wine here, absolutely good wine!" Cao Mengde laughed.
Sima Yi hated the iron. "My lord, when they left, they took everything away, but left this delicious wine behind. My lord, don't you understand the meaning of this clearly? They are planning to... plan to take us away." Get drunk and then flood Jingzhou!"
"Flooded Jingzhou?!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Mengde suddenly stood up. At that moment, a gust of cool wind appeared and blew on Cao Mengde's forehead. Cao Mengde suddenly woke up and his lips trembled, "Zhongda, what did you just say?"
"Lord, let's go quickly, leave! Leave this place! Leave the city, otherwise, we will become the overlords in Jingzhou by then, and our entire army will be annihilated!" Sima Yi screamed.
