Chapter 83 Flooded Seventh Army

Just now, Wu Shuo spoke quickly, and Cui Qian didn't understand at once. Yue Hai gave him a translation, and he suddenly became angry. However, his surname was gloomy, and he was full of joy and anger. After listening to Yuehai's words, he just raised his eyebrows and said word by word, "If you haven't fought a hard battle, it's useless to talk about it. The more fierce you say, the faster you escape from the war. I think you have a lot of ships. I'm afraid it's troublesome to escape at that time.

Wu Shuo's surname was in a hurry. He was so angry with Cui Qian's words that he jumped three feet high. He was about to argue with Cui Qian, but he was dragged by Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang smiled and said, "So, you have fewer boats just for the convenience of running away?"

"No." Cui Qian waved his hand very hard: "We don't have many boats. It's not that we don't have boats. It's because there are only Fancheng and Xiangyang. There is no need to stir up the crowd. There are more people coming, and the credit is not enough." He glanced at Zhang Wu and others, feeling as if they were here to share his credit, and the disdain in his eyes could even be seen by the blind.

"General, you can rest assured." Zhang Liang remained calm: "We ourselves don't like to be robbed of credit, so we won't rob you of credit. If General Cui is afraid of us robbing him, he might as well suggest that General Hou should divide the task. Anyway, we can't swallow the two cities of Fancheng and Xiangyang.

Sun Shao in the cabin listened to the words outside and smiled: "General, your subordinates are full of morale."

Sun Jiu's mouth was crooked: "It's okay. However, I think this plan is also good. Fancheng and Xiangyang each attack one, and no one will delay the other.

"Are we here to take credit?" Sun Shao asked, "Doesn't the captive general know the purpose of this cooperation with Guan Gong this time? Are our targets in Fancheng and Xiangyang? It's understandable for the subordinates to say so. It's a little wrong for you to think so.

Sun Hao was stunned by him.

"Sshu Wu, hang up the map." Sun Shao waved his hand, and Sun Huan, who stood behind him with a knife, immediately stepped forward and spread out the map on the desk. Sun Jie did not look at the map, but stared at Sun Huan. He knew that Sun Huan was assigned to Sun Shao by Sun Quan, but he didn't expect that the black boy standing behind Sun Shao was Sun Huan. Looking at his black face, he didn't look at it carefully at all.

"Uncle Wu?"

"I've seen the captive general." Sun Huan saluted respectfully, and then stood in his position respectfully. Sun Hao didn't react for a moment. He looked at Zhou Xun, who was standing on the other side with the same black and thick face: "Zhou Boying?"

Zhou Xun bowed and saluted: "Zhou Xun has seen the captive general."

Sun Zhuo completely went through the plane. Sun Huan is fine. Although he has a good reputation, he is just a captain. Although it is a little too much to be a personal guard for the rear general, it is reluctant to accept it. Zhou Xun is a hereditary general. How can he... be a personal guard? And looking at them like this, they seem to be quite useful.

Sun Shao did not give him many opportunities to think. He knocked on the desk and attracted Sun Yao's eyes. First, he clicked in Hanzhong: "Liu Yizhou and Cao have been fighting fiercely in Bashu for nearly a year. The situation is very critical, and he has asked the supreme for support many times. Xiahou Dun's 50,000 troops attacked with defense. Lv Meng and Jiang Qin had no success in the battle for a long time, and the possibility of defeating Xiahou Dun in a short period of time was very small. And here," Sun Shao knocked hard in Fancheng: "It has become the key to the whole battle. If you win, you can **, take Nanyang, directly hit Xudu, cut off the connection between the east and west of Cao's army. If you lose, you will lose Jingzhou. Cao's army will occupy the middle reaches of the river again. You can cooperate with Cao Qian to take Yizhou, and you can attack Jianye."

Sun Zhuo nodded repeatedly. Naturally, he was clear about the situation of this battle. What he didn't expect was that Sun Shao said that he wanted to take Nanyang and directly hit Xu County's plan. Sun Quan's order to him was to cooperate with Guan Yu, defeat Cao Ren, and attract Cao Jian to withdraw from Bashu to solve Liu Bei's crisis. In his opinion, this matter is just for help, and there is no need to work too hard. What Sun Shao said was different. His goal was not limited to breaking through Fancheng and relieving Liu Bei. He wanted to take all Nanyang and attack Xu County. Why did he attack Xu County? Of course, we are going to take the emperor. The reason why Cao Qian is so powerful now is that he acted by the order of the emperor everywhere and took the lead in morality. Sun Quan is still the car riding general of the Han Dynasty until now. Liu Bei got Yizhou, and he can only show himself as a herdsman of Yizhou. No matter whether they have a emperor in their eyes or not, this name is still needed.

As soon as Sun Jiao's idea was broken, he immediately found the mystery and took all of Nanyang. Then Xiahou Dun could not sit down. He must return to Shixu County, so that Lv Meng and others could take advantage of the situation and take all the Lujiang, Jiujiang and Guangling between Jianghuai. Although there are no people in these places now, the land is fertile. Once it is won, Jiangdong's strength will be greatly enhanced, and more importantly, Jianye will be safer.

If you want to guard the river, you must fight for Jianghuai. Sun Quan has been attacking Hefei for so many years. Don't you just want to stand between Jianghuai?

If this plan can be implemented, then they will not just assist Guan Yu. They are great contributors.

Sun Jue was a little excited. He stared at the map and stroked the short beard on his chin: "However, even if we rush to Fancheng, our strength is only comparable to that of Yu Jin and Cao Ren. It's not so easy to defeat them."

"I don't think so." Sun Shao straightened up and tapped his fingers quickly on the desk. Although Yu Jin's 30,000 troops came fiercely, Yu Jin had never led such people alone. Cao Ren had the ability to command the army, but he was besieged in Fancheng. I'm afraid that the command of Cao's army may not be smooth, and Guan Gong has been in Jingzhou for a long time, and it is no longer difficult for him to have 20,000 to 30,000 troops. More importantly, this is Hanshui. Now it's almost the flood season, but have you heard that it's forbidden to take the sailor?

Sun Hao's eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly. As Sun Shao said, although Yu Jin is one of the five good generals, he has never led 30,000 troops like this time. Cao Qian's men are qualified to command tens of thousands of troops alone. Only a few people, such as Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun, are not that they have strong ability, but because they are Cao Qian's most trusted people. In fact, people have the ability, but they will not have this opportunity, and they will not have this experience. Commanding tens of thousands of horses and commanding thousands of horses is definitely not a concept, and the complexity of it is far from several times. Cao Ren has this ability, but he is now blocked in Fancheng. He didn't have such experience before. Even if he is smart, it is difficult for him to do it for a while. More importantly, Sun Shao said that it is almost the flood season, but the people brought by Yu Ban are all walking horses. There are no sailors. Guan Yu's subordinates have a sailor who has been trained for many years. Although his men and horses are not professional sailors, they are also very familiar with water warfare, and Sun Shao's men and horses are simply professional sailors mainly water warfare.

In such a comparison, their odds of winning have greatly increased.

Sun Gao sighed. It seemed that it was reasonable for Sun Shao to do it so quickly. Before he arrived in Fancheng, he had clearly analyzed the strength of both sides. He had stayed in Xiakou for so long, but he did not think about it so carefully. He was still limited to creating momentum for Guan Yu.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable." Sun Hao nodded repeatedly.

"However, the most important thing now is that we must rush to Fancheng as soon as possible. After all, Guan Gong is now short of troops and is slightly at a disadvantage. If he has been defeated before we arrive, then all of this can't be talked about. Not only is there no credit, but we also have to fight against Cao's army in Xiangyang. The navy will be useless. In that case, we will be under too much pressure.

"That's good." Sun Gao clenched his fist hard: "We should travel day and night, rush to Fancheng as fast as possible, strive to be defeated by the ban on the Han River, and then go straight to Xu County."

"It's exactly what I want." Sun Shao smiled. He motioned to Zhou Xun: "Well, the business is over. Let's prepare a banquet. I'm going to invite the general and his subordinates to drink."

Zhou Xun went out to arrange. Sun Shao turned his face and said to Sunjiao with an apologetic face, "Uncle, it was an official business just now, so I have to be polite. Now that the official talk is over, let me apologize to Uncle and ask Uncle to tolerate my disrespect."

Sun Jiao is now immersed in the achievements of the defeat of Cao's army. He is very satisfied with Sun Shao. On the contrary, he feels that Sun Shao is right to do what he did. When talking about official business, he is the relationship between superiors and subordinates. In private, he is humble and polite, and the public and private is clear. He laughed and said, "Fengxian, you're welcome. I'm an uncle. I was so offended just now. Please don't be surprised."

Sun Shao smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that Uncle is good at recruiting talents, and I also asked Uncle to introduce one or two."

Sun Gao was even more proud. He pointed to Liu Jing and said, "This is Mr. Liu Jing and Liu Wenjie. He is a famous scholar in Lujiang. He is resourceful and decisive. He is my long history. Ping said that he was assisted by him and benefited a lot.

Sun Shao arched his hand. Liu Jing did not dare to do it. He quickly returned the salute. Sun Shao called Zhou Xun and said, "B Ying, this is your famous scholar in the same county. You can ask for more benefits in the future. You are a Lujiang native, but you have never stepped on the Lujiang River.

Zhou Xun went forward with a 90-degree ceremony, which was much more than bowing. Liu Jing did not dare to do it. The Zhou family was a big family in Lujiang. When Zhou Yu was alive, it was difficult for him to see Zhou Yu at a glance. Who would have thought that Zhou Yu's son would be so respectful to him? He felt a light on his face and a little excited.

Sun Shao asked people to invite Wu Shuo, Zhang Liang and others to come in. They met one by one, and then introduced his generals, especially Cui Qian, saying that he was the most famous pirate in the South China Sea. In those years, he single-handedly killed into the pirate nest to avenge his father, and became the actual hegeman of the South China Sea in just a few years. Only then did Wu Shuo and others know that this man who couldn't understand the language of birds was actually the king of pirates in the South China Sea, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Both sides were seated. After a while, the banquet began, and after a few rounds of drinks, some of the strangeness between the two sides melted away. In the intertwining, they talked and laughed loudly, as if they had made friends for many years. Sun Zhuo specially relayed the great prospect that Sun Shao had just described to him to Wu Shuo and others. As soon as they heard that they had made great contributions, they immediately came to the spirit. Coupled with Sun Shao's deliberate modesty, their antipathy to Sun Shao has become a thing of the past. One by one, they have high fighting spirit to defeat Cao's army under the leadership of Sun Shao. No matter how sincere these words are, the scene is already better.

At the banquet, Sun Shao decided that the fleet would rush to Fancheng to participate in the battle in two days, and the generals responded.

Sun Shao then discussed with Sun Gao to tow his warships, especially small and medium-sized warships, behind his building ship, and transfer the sailors above to the building ship to rotate, so that the sailors' physical strength can always be abundant and ensure speed. Sun Gao initially felt that it was not very useful, but later, after Sun Shao visited the deck under the cabin and saw the speed of Sun Shao's building ship with his own eyes, he was greatly amazed and immediately agreed to Sun Shao's proposal.

The ship is connected and towed by the front by the fast building boat, which not only reduces the overall water flow resistance, but also effectively ensures the physical strength of the building sailor, which also ensures the speed. After this adjustment, the speed of the whole fleet has been greatly improved, which surprised Sun Gao and others. They saw that although the sailors on their ships were swaying desperately, they could only barely keep up with Sun Shao's boat, who had towed 20 or 30 ships. They looked at each other and were a little lucky. If they really want to compete with Sun Shao, they will lose based on the speed.

Sun Shao left Sun Hao and Liu Jing on his Yingyang, discussed the upcoming war, analyzed various situations that may be encountered, and arranged the work that needed to be prepared in advance. In particular, if you want to go deep into Nanyang to do the grain and fodder needed for war, you must start hoarding. Sun Shao and Sun Jiao jointly wrote to Sun Quan and asked him to prepare for the war immediately.

The next night, Sun Shao and Sunjiao were talking in the cabin. Liu Jing came in from the outside with a happy face. As soon as he entered the cabin, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the two generals. Happy, happy."

"What's the joy?" Sun Shao smiled faintly.

"The water is rising, and the flood peak is about to arrive." Liu Jing took the towel and wiped his hand while laughing, "As soon as the Han water rises, Yu Jin, who is not familiar with the water war, will be greatly restricted. General Guan can at least maintain the situation and wait for our support."

Sun Shao's heart tightened and quickly walked out of the cabin and looked into the distance. The surface of the river was glittering, and the sound of the waves on the warship was endless. Looking at it, the current seemed to be much more urgent than yesterday, and the river surface also looked much wider.

I don't know if Guan Yu can catch the fighters and flood the seven armies as in history. Sun Shao was uneasy. For the first time, he was worried that he had changed history and blew up the merits of Guan Erye, who shocked China. If you really want to die with Yu Jin's 30,000 troops, it's really difficult.

"Fengxian, are you worried about General Guan?" Sun Zhuo walked behind Sun Shao and gently put his hand on Sun Shao's shoulder: "Don't worry, he can hold on until now without showing defeat, which shows that God is standing on our side. When we arrive, how can Yu Ban be our opponent?"

Sun Shao nodded with a smile: "I hope so."

"Go back to the cabin and have a rest. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately." Sun Gao said to Sun Shao with concern, "You came from Jianye Star Night. You are too tired. You have to fight for a long time later. You can't be tired."

Sun Shao's heart was warm: "Thank you for your concern."

"Who let us all have the surname Sun? After breaking the bones, they are still connected to the tendons." Sun Jiao smiled faintly and held the railing and looked at the distance: "There were only a few thousand people when the broken general rose up. Isn't it because the Sun family's sons and sisters are in a group today?"

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at Sun Gao, and figured out what he wanted to say. Sun Gao's face looked very strong in the moonlight, and his eyes were very solemn. He looked directly at the dark night in front of him. Sun Shao knew that Sun Jing was relatively strong. Sun Jing was originally the longest-lived of Sun Jian's brothers. Because of her thick surname, she was not easy to compete with others, so he was more polite to him from Sun Ce to Sun Quan. When he was still alive, his sons led the army one after another. In the past few years, because of the clan's unremitting efforts. As well as Sun Quan's concern about the expansion of the power of his ministers in Jiangdong, their strength has further increased. Sun Zhuo is now a general who protects the capital, with tens of thousands of his subordinates. His second brother Sun Yu's surname is similar to their father Sun Jing. He is relatively stable. He is not as brave as him, and his combat achievements are also poor. His subordinates are only 3,000. There are many horses, but they are also General Fenwei, the Taishou of Danyang, and the fourth brother Sun Hun and Sun Jiming are the generals of Yangwu. It should be said that compared with the decline of Sun Qiang's branch, Sun Jing's prospect is very good, and they should not want the Sun family to have internal insentment.

Sun Jiing said that to him now probably heard something and took this opportunity to remind him.

"Uncle, I understand this truth." Sun Shao smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that not everyone understands it."

Sun Zhuo turned his head and looked at him and pondered for a moment: "Rumors stop at the wise. Why do you listen to gossip? As long as you stand upright and do it well, others will understand you one day."

Sun Shao smiled secretly, and Sun Gao's words were a little biased. Now Sun Quan is on guard against me. Do you let me go and let Sun Quan deal with me? I don't want to be killed inexplicably, and then falsely reverted, saying that you were a loyal minister. I misheard the slander and killed the wrong Yunyun. I don't want to pin my fate on the discovery of other people's conscience, especially for those who want to be the first person in the world. Conscience is a scarce product.

However, although he was disdainful in his heart, he said very beautifully: "Uncle, I used to have too many scruples. In fact, as long as the Supreme believes in me and what others say, I don't have to care too much.

"That's right." Sun Zhuo smiled and said, "The Supreme arranges you to lead the army to help General Guan break Cao. This is the trust in you and the best refutation of those people. As long as you trust each other, why are you afraid of others talking?

"Exactly." Sun Shao nodded sincerely.

The next morning, Sun Quan was still sleeping when he was woken up by Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun said to him that there were many corpses on the river, and it seemed that there was a big war in front of him. However, judging from the clothes and banners of the corpses, most of the deaths were Cao Jun, and most of them were drowned.

Sun Shao jumped up and couldn't help but be ecstatic. Did Guan Yu flood the seven armies? He put on his clothes and strode out. He immediately took a breath of cold air. There were corpses floating everywhere on the river. Some lay on their backs in the water, showing their white and swollen faces, and some lying in the water, only exposing their backs, sandwiched in shields, flags and all kinds of debris, which was shocking. He has also participated in several wars, but he still saw a lot of ships before, but the dead were limited, and most of the pirates did not drown after falling into the water. They could all struggle to survive. The scene was very lively, but now they saw a dead silence, with only corpses and no living people.

This feeling is completely different.

Most of the soldiers on the building ship were silent and could not see the excitement at all. The battlefield was still a hundred miles away. So many corpses could be seen here, so the battle must have been very fierce.

Sun Hao hurried over, but he was a little excited: "Fengxian, it seems that General Guan has the upper hand."

Sun Shao recovered from the shock and smiled unnaturally: "I think so. If you don't expect it, you will receive the message at noon."

Sun Shao received the message until noon. Guan Yu was defeated by the ban yesterday. The 30,000 troops in the ban were washed to piece by the rushing Han water. The 30,000 troops did not do anything with Guan Yu and were washed away by the water. The rest of the people were divided on several high slopes and looked at the water in despair.

In fact, Sun Shao and others saw the water rising yesterday, which was already after Guan Yu won. The tidal peak of Hanshui arrived a few days ago, but Guan Yu built a dam in the upper reaches, and then leaked down, and immediately rushed to the ban and was caught off guard.

"Ponder?" Sun Shao suddenly remembered a man: "How is he?"

The scout is inexplicable. How could he care about Pound? After thinking about it, he could only say honestly, "I haven't heard of it."

"Sect someone to inform General Guan immediately. If you catch Pound, don't kill him." Sun Shao was a little shocked when he remembered that Pound's son later avenged Pound and killed the whole family. Since the war has been won, there is no need to kill more people. Maybe it can break this causal relationship. Since Guan Yu can still flood the seven armies as in history, who can be sure that Pang will not be able to enter Chengdu? Cao Wei is now in Bashu. Maybe Pang Hui is in the army.

Sun Shao then ordered to move forward at full speed and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible. Seeing that what they were most worried about was solved like this, Sun Hao and others were full of expectations for the following war. They were in high spirits and wanted to fight with Cao Jun.

On the Han River, Guan Yu sat high on the boat and looked at Cao Jun, who was struggling in the water in the distance, without saying a word. Zhao Lei, Yin Guan and others stood behind him with joy on their faces. No one expected that a flood would take away the powerful Cao army. In just a few days, all their hearts were washed away like Yu's 30,000 troops. Now no one is as frightened as before. No one persuaded Guan Yu to retreat. They are full of confidence in the future. 30,000 troops have been defeated. What other reinforcements can Cao Qian send? Where else can Cao Ren, who is trapped in Fancheng, go? Liu Bei's predicament can be solved, and Guan Yu has made great contributions.

"Father." Guan Ping drove over with the boat. After the boat approached, he quickly climbed into the boat. Guan Yu, who was sinking like water opposite, gave a salute, licked his lips, and said nervously, "Father, Pound will not surrender."

"No surrender?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and burst into murder: "At this moment, does he still want to escape? If you don't surrender, kill him."
