Shu Han Confucian generals of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55 Half-baked Cheng Yu

"I miss Zhang's family, which used to be a famous family in Hanzhong. But because of Zhao Feng, his family was ruined! With such a deep hatred, how can Zhang Chunhua vent my hatred if I don't cut him with thousands of knives and taste all kinds of torture in the world? Zhang Chunhua gritted his teeth, and his face, which was originally ugly, is now even more distorted.

The habitual surname in history is very powerful. In Zhao Feng Pingding Hanzhong, when Zhang Lu was captured alive, it was a hundred secrets. His daughter Zhang Chunhua fled to Guanzhong in the chaos. As in history, this famous poisonous woman married Sima Yi. Of course, the reason why she is favored by Sima Yi because of her ugly face is not the human skin, but the real talent in her belly.

Zhang Lu is the head of Wudou Mi Dao, but in terms of the study of Taoism, it is not as good as his daughter. Zhang Chunhua has been studying Ziwei Doushu since he was a child. He claims to be able to know 300 years ago and 300 years later (in fact, I took Sister Feng as the prototype to create this character). She calculated that the key figure of the rise and fall of the world was the unknown Hedong Sima Yi. Of course, the reason why he is unknown is that compared with these big leaders. Zhang Chunhua, who survived the fate of the family, went to Hebei to look for Sima Yi with her fortune-telling tools.

There is a way that things are gathered in groups, and people are divided into groups. Sima Yi was originally a gloomy person. Now he meets the vicious Zhang Chunhua. One is not a gentleman, and the other is not a chaste martyr. It's not long for the two of them to sleep together. Under the theoretical guidance of his wife, Sima Yi, who was already ambitious, carried out a series of actions soon after. And now, his success is not far away.

"Zhao Botao's origin is very strange. I once sent someone to investigate his origin, but all I know is that he suddenly appeared in Pingyuan County at the age of 13 and met Liu Xuande. Before that, no one knew the origin of this person. I had to remove it, but it didn't work. When Sima Yi said this, he also frowned slightly, and then asked seriously, "Madam, your calculation is really correct. Is this person really going to hurt me?"

"It's not bad, the world is the pattern of killing wolves. However, the broken army star was destroyed by Zhao Botao a few years ago. I'm afraid that the seven killing stars can't escape this. Husband, as a greedy wolf star, you still need to be cautious!" Zhang Chunhua is leisurely authentic.

"Who is the broken military star?" Sima Yi seemed to expect something, so he hurriedly asked his wife to confirm.

"The one in Jiangdong." Zhang Chunhua said something. As soon as he finished this sentence, the couple no longer said anything and fell into silence.

Sima Yi naturally did not know that at this time, in Luoyang, thousands of miles away, Chen Gong and Xu Shu were also relatively speechless and silent. After a long time, Chen Gong said, "Yuan Zhi, what strategy do you think we have to force Cao to fight to the death?"

"This matter is very difficult. Now General Huang's insults like this, Cao can't shrink. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do no matter how I design it!" Xu Shu sighed. If you want to say that Huang Zhong is really disrespectful to the old man, seeing that Cao Yang refused to fight, he personally led the army to scold the battle. Of course, he used all the curses he learned in Shentingling. He simply scolded Cao Yan by name. Under this insult, Cao Yan still couldn't stick to it, which was really strange.

Now the forces of the two sides are almost equal, but Cao Jian has been unable to stick to it. More than 200,000 people are eating and drinking in Caoyang. It doesn't look like they are coming to war. Chen Gong and Xu Shu have discussed many times, but they are not important. After a long silence, Chen Gong finally proposed, "I think it's better to send a cavalry to bypass Cao Yang, raid Hongnong and other places, and force Cao's army to go to war."

"I think this plan is feasible!" Xu Shu nodded. At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly heard a roar from far to near, but he didn't know what it was. In astonishment, Xu Shu quickly listened carefully, but before he could understand what the sound was, he already felt a little trembling under his feet, and the trembling was getting worse and worse.

"Did the ground move?" Chen Gong was stunned, but no one answered him this time, because the land under their feet had been sunk one after another, and at the same time, water gushed out of the cracks. No matter how resourceful Xu Shu and Chen Gong were, they were still in a hurry at this time.

At this time, Cao Wei's army, which was hundreds of miles away from Cao Yang, was ready to stop. Cheng Yu put his ear to the ground and listened carefully. After a while, Cheng Yu's face showed a proud smile, and then he jumped high. After dancing, he said excitedly, "King of Wei, it's done, done. Luoyang must have been flooded at this time!"

"Zhong De, are you sure?" Cao Yan was surprised and happy when he heard the words. He hurriedly asked again to confirm, and there was a trace of trembling in the voice. Even if his heart is as calm as Cao Wei, he can't help but feel a little calm down when he has the opportunity to destroy Liu Bei in one fell swoop.

"It can't be wrong, King of Wei, now you can lead the army to get all of Liu Bei!" Cheng Yu was excited and couldn't say. Cao Yan looked at Cheng Yu, who was full of confidence, sorted out his emotions a little, and then ordered the three armies to leave and go to Luoyang to kill.

"Father, what's the wonderful plan to get all of Liu Bei?" Cao Zhang, who was following the army, asked with some puzzled. He was called up in the middle of the night, and then the whole army pulled out to Luoyang. Cao Zhang has also experienced the battlefield and has never encountered such a situation.

"Ha ha, Zhong De, you talk to Ziwen!" Cao Yan is in a good mood now. Let Cheng Yu, the planner, talk about it in detail, and give him another chance to have a long face. Cheng Yu knew what Cao Yan meant, so he still said the whole plan.

"Yu has liked to read history books and calendars since he was a child. More than a decade ago, by chance, he got several ancient calendars, which recorded the hydrography of the Luo River from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the current dynasty. Yu has been studying for a long time and has discussed with Si Tianjian's Taishiling many times. Only then did he be convinced that the water of the Luohe River would soar at the beginning of spring this year, so this is why he decided this plan.

"If Liu Bei waved his army to the north, he would take Luoyang in Yanjing. Therefore, Yu made an early arrangement in Luoyang City to dig a wide road under the palace to lead the water of the Luo River to a pond in the palace. Then hollow out many foundations in the palace and other places. There is nothing wrong with it, but once the Luo River rises and the dark surges, it must be a landslide and the city wall collapses. Aren't all the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei City soaked in water?

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, everyone was deeply appalled. This plan is really inconceivable, but the requirements for heaven and time are too high. Even after Zhao Feng knew the whole plan later, he sighed whether Cheng Yu was from Yuan Tiankan, otherwise how could the calculation be so accurate? Not to mention Cao Zhang and others at this time, for a long time, Cao Zhen asked weakly, "So, last year the king sent Mr. Zhongde to Luoyang to rectify the rule of officials for this matter?"

"Exactly!" Cao said with a smile. This strategy is not easy to say. The corridor alone made thousands of soldiers dig for more than three months before it was dug up in one fell swoop. Now the whole Luoyang is a Ze country, and it is fortunate that Liu Bei can not die. Even if he is not blistered to death, his army will definitely make him unable to eat.

Cheng Yu's strategy is logically very vicious. Once it succeeds, it is enough to make Liu Bei suffer a big loss. But after all, Cheng Yu is Cheng Yu, not a professional hydrodynamics expert and architecture expert. Although he dug through the corridor to divert water, he also hollowed out the bottom of the palace. However, the specific size of the corridor and the big pit to be dug is enough to submerge the whole Liu Bei's army and even Luoyang City. Is the gushing of the water of the Luo River enough to destroy all this? These Cheng Yu seem to understand and can only be almost understood.

In a word, Cheng Yu is a good adviser and a very professional meteorologist, but in other words, he is a half-hearted person. What's more unexpected to him was that although Liu Bei was stationed in Luoyang City to avoid suspicion, he did not live in the palace, so the big pit carefully designed by Cheng Yu did not trap him.

Of course, these are just to ensure that Liu Bei was not drowned on the spot. In terms of loss, the loss this time is definitely quite large. Liu Bei was lucky. This time, the Luohe River came in the evening, so the army was not too caught off guard. In addition, Liu Bei's recruit training is basically carried out in Chaisang, adjacent to Poyang Lake. At Zhao Feng's suggestion, all soldiers should learn to swim. Therefore, after the flood, not too many people really drowned. In early spring, most people were lost in combat effectiveness by the sudden flood, so they could only tremble at some heights and wait for the enemy to attack.

"Public platform, Yuan Zhi, what's going on?" Liu Bei, standing on a high platform, looked at Luoyang City with three feet of flat water, which was also incoherent. Next to him are Chen Gong and Xu Shu, who have just been salvaged from the water, and Chen is still leading people to salvage.

"Lord, this is a natural disaster, not what human beings can do!" Chen Gong sighed. With his wisdom, he can't figure out this kind of thing. At this moment, Kou Feng came to the ground angrily and said, "Master, the big thing is not good. Visit the horse to report. Cao Qian personally led a large army to kill Luoyang. It is less than dozens of miles away from here!"

"What?" Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words. He was really afraid of something. Looking around, Liu Bei asked with difficulty, "How's the army?"

"I just counted the number of people. There are more than 100,000 troops in the city. At this time, only 60,000 to 70,000 people have gathered, of which only about 40,000 soldiers can fight." Zhang Fei, who had been silent, said. Liu Bei nodded, and then looked at Chen Gong and Xu Shu with inquiring eyes.

"Lord, the soldiers have just soaked in water and are no longer able to fight again. Luoyang City is in a mess, and it is also powerless to defend it. Let's withdraw our troops to Xingyang!" Chen Gong looked at the pandum in front of him, and his lips trembled for a long time, so he still put forward this suggestion.

"That's the only way!" Xu Shu couldn't think of a better way. Liu Bei looked around, and the generals basically gathered together. At that time, he quickly gathered as many people as possible, went out of the city from the East Gate, and retreated to Xingyang. At the same time, Liu Bei quickly sent people to inform Pang Tong, Wen Ping and Liu Pan of the battalion in the south of the city, and let them lead the army to retreat eastward together.

After the messengers came to Pang Tong's camp, they heard that there was a drastic change in Luoyang City, and Cao Yan's army was coming. Even if Pang was unified, he couldn't help but be stunned for a long time, and then muttered to himself, "Master, Lord, what's wrong with you?"
