Chapter 112: The Suppression

"Your Highness, what's too late?" Zhang Yi asked beside him.

"Zhang Yi, go and get the rope immediately, and then use the rope to connect everyone together." A Dou said.

"I will obey the order."

"I tied them up tightly, and I also saw what big rocks and trees were around me, so I quickly connected them with a rope. In addition, I sent a command to tie the vine armor on me tightly, and the flood was coming soon."

"Da water?" Zhang Yi was a little stunned, and then suddenly realized what the rumbling sound in the distance was causing. Zhang Yi's face suddenly changed drastically, and he ran to send the order.

Looking at the vine armored soldiers under his command, he was panicked and tied the ropes, and a hint of uneasiness arose in his heart. Although the vine armored soldiers wearing extremely strong buoyancy, A Dou still felt that there was great danger to the upcoming Hongfeng. It is said that water and fire are ruthless. When facing the power of nature, even a person like A Dou who has martial arts skills is very small.

The soldiers quickly tied everyone together with ropes, tied up all the weapons, and connected them with the crowd. All the vehicles transporting the baggage were in front, while the soldiers were cats behind the baggage truck to prevent the flood from directly hitting the person and causing them to faint.

The land of Yongzhou is full of loess, and the soil is loose, so it is difficult to find some huge rocks to fix it. However, the trees are still easy to find. The soldiers of the vine armor connected the group of people with long ropes to some huge trees.

And when the Shu army finished all this, the flood had clearly appeared in everyone's sight.

Hong Feng roared forward, and in the face of the huge waves, his personal abilities seemed so pale and powerless.

The surging flood protruded the devil's claws towards the Shu army. At this time, the Shu army was ready. The soldiers were close together, holding each other's arms to meet the impact of the flood. Some had closed their eyes and began to pray silently for hunger, while others opened their eyes wide and looked at the surging water filled with their vision in horror.

At this moment, no one retreated. When facing danger, humans will instinctively feel that places with more people are safer, and everyone is tied together, and even if they want to run away, they can't run away.

The flood first rushed to the front row of supplies trucks. These supplies trucks were also connected by ropes, but they were still rushed up by the wave peaks. Then, the flood peak several meters high crossed over the front row of supplies trucks and swallowed these grouped vine armored soldiers.

This flood was caused by Zhuge Liang's breaking of the Wei River. When Zhuge Liang broke the dike, the river water that had accumulated for several days rushed out at this moment, so the most powerful flood was the flood peak. Once this flood peak passed, the sharpness would be released, and the damage caused by the remaining subsequent floods would be limited.

After the flood peak rolled for half a moment, the powerful buoyancy of the vine armor finally appeared. A head suddenly emerged from the water surface, and then the second and third heads also emerged, and then the vine armor soldiers slowly floated up.

This group of vine armored soldiers were all from barbarians, and nine out of the ten were proficient in water, so this huge peak did not cause harm to the vine armored soldiers. For these men who were proficient in water, it was not very difficult to hold their breath underwater. However, a few people were still filled with water when the peak arrived.

Wen Qin is one of them.

Wen Qin is from the north and has an average water nature, so when the flood peak arrived, he was filled with water and almost fainted. Fortunately, everyone was tied together, so after the others floated up, Wen Qin also floated up.

"Wow" Wen Qin squirted out a sip of water, then he leaned on a soldier next to him, and began to cough constantly. From time to time, water was left out of his nostrils.

"Wenqin, is it okay!" A Dou asked.

"It's okay, I just took a few sips of water! Cough cough..." Wen Qin said, and started coughing again.

"All the others are okay!" A Dou then shouted.

"Someone fainted!" A shout sounded from behind.

"Save people quickly!" Adou said, untied the rope tied to his body, jumped gently to the person next to him, and then stepped on the person's body and ran towards the sound.

"Bang!" A Dou slapped the fainting soldier's back with a palm, and then the soldier squirted out a mouthful of water and gradually turned around.

These people who fainted were filled with water and were temporarily in shock, so Adou only needed to use his internal strength to shake out the water in the trachea and make people breathe, and it would be fine.

This man-made flood comes and goes quickly. There are 800-mile Qinchuan on the south bank of the Wei River, and the water retreats slowly. However, there is a plain on the north bank of the Wei River, without mountains blocking it, so the water will slowly roll northward. The eastward, the water will become smaller, and the water retreats very quickly on the north bank of the Wei River. Although it is still raining heavily in the sky, the water still begins to fade quickly. After an hour, the water retreats to its waist. The soldiers can stand steadily on the ground with their feet.

It was not pleasant to soak in the water at all, not to mention that the water was filled with mud and sand and various waste. However, the Shu army did not suffer much loss due to this water. Except for a few unlucky ghosts who were injured, there was no loss of personnel.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the water slowly retreated."

"Well, I think the Hu people should be washed away now. I will send an order to wait until the water retreats and rest for a day, then immediately cross the Wei River and encircle the remaining Hu people's troops."

After the Wei River passes Xianyang, it will converge with the Jing River. After passing Chang'an and approaching Tongguan, it will converge into the Yellow River. Because of the addition of Jing River, the river channel of the Wei River near Chang'an is very wide. Chang'an is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, so the Wei River near Chang'an is the best management. After all, if the Wei River in Chang'an is not well managed, it will directly flood the emperor. In addition, the existence of Zheng Guo Canal, when the flood peak comes, most of the floods eventually enter the Wei River near Chang'an. Chang'an City did not suffer much impact.

Chang'an City.

The wailing cry sounded outside the Weiyang Palace, awakening Liu Bei from his sleep.

Liu Bei, who was lying on the sickbed, opened his eyes slightly, called the eunuch, and asked, "Who is crying outside?"

"Your Majesty, I'll go investigate now." The eunuch said, walking out. After a moment, the eunuch walked in again and said, "Report to Your Majesty, more than a hundred great scholars gathered at the gate of the palace and were crying loudly."

"Great Confucianism?" Liu Bei was slightly surprised, and then said, "Hurry up and go and have a look."

"Your Majesty, your body..."

"I'm fine, my body is much better." Liu Bei said, helping him stand up. The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and held Liu Bei and walked outside.

In front of the Weiyang Palace, more than a hundred great scholars gathered at the palace gate, crying bitterly.

"Sir, you guys get up first, don't cry here!" Chen Dao walked back and forth among the great scholars, constantly persuading the great scholars to leave as soon as possible, but none of the great scholars in Chang'an City left.

"Mr. Chen, get up first!"

"Mr. Ma, stop crying..." Chen Dao's voice kept ringing, but there was no effect at all.

These great scholars are all famous and prestigious in Chang'an City. Chen Dao cannot beat or scold, and dare not use force to drive them away. He can only give in with a smile and persuade him. Chen Dao is not good at eloquence, and when facing these great scholars, he has no choice but to be refuted by the great scholars and has nothing to say.

"Chen Dao, what's going on?" Liu Bei's voice came, and Chen Dao hurriedly walked to Liu Bei near and reported: "Report to Your Majesty, these great scholars want to see you, but Your Majesty, you are sick, so I didn't let these great scholars in, so these great scholars cried here."

Liu Bei nodded, then walked forward and spoke to the great scholar: "Sir, please be quiet, I'm here."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is here!"

"It's really Your Majesty!" A group of big scholars rushed forward and knelt in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was very good at winning people's hearts, and the Han Dynasty had been passed down for four hundred years and had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Therefore, with Liu Bei's means, it was soon recognized by most people in Chang'an City, and these great scholars had long recognized Liu Bei's status as emperor.

"Sirs, please get up quickly, say something slowly, say it slowly... cough cough cough..." Liu Bei started coughing again as he said.

"Your Majesty, you want to save our people in Yongzhou!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please save our people in Yongzhou."

"Your Majesty, our Yongzhou has suffered such a disaster..."

A group of great scholars said in a lingering manner, the scene was chaotic, and Liu Bei could not hear it after listening for a long time.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Liu Bei waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet, then said, "Sir, don't be anxious, take your time, say one by one."

Great Confucians, look at me, and look at you. Finally, a long-faced Confucian scholar over fifty stood up. When Liu Bei saw that the man was named Mada.

The identity of this Ma Da was extraordinary. He was a descendant of Ma Rong, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ma Rong lived in Chang'an and had students all over the world. Even the famous scholars, Zheng Xuan, was worshipped by Ma Rong. Among these great scholars present, Ma Da's knowledge may not be the best, but because of his powerful ancestor, Ma Da's identity is the most respected.

"Mr. Ma, please." Liu Bei said.

"Your Majesty, the flood is coming! What a big water! The water has washed up to the Chang'an city wall."

"Damn it? Is it a flood?" Liu Bei's heart tightened and asked immediately.

"Your Majesty, it's the flood! This water flows from the west. I think it's possible that the Wei River broke. The river near Chang'an City is wide, but the water still rushed to the front of Chang'an City. In this way, the upper reaches of the Wei River may have become a country of terrain!" Ma Da said.

"How could this happen?" Liu Bei also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.

"Why didn't Shi Yuan tell me about such an important thing? Why didn't Shi Yuan tell me about the second and third brothers? Chen Dao, hurry up! Call Shi Yuan here!"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong were all called to Weiyang Palace by Liu Bei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took the lead and walked into Weiyang Palace. However, Pang Tong stopped in front of the Weiyang Palace gate, then looked at the group of great scholars surrounding the door, secretly called Chen Dao, and asked, "General Chen, what happened here? Why are these gentlemen here?"

Chen Dao whispered: "Master Taifu, these gentlemen were looking for His Majesty just now, but I stopped them. As a result, these gentlemen cried here and finally alarmed His Majesty."

"Then why do they cry?" Pang Tong continued to ask.

"They said there was a flood outside, and most of Yongzhou has become a land of Zeguo. Is this true?"

"No! Your Majesty must have come to us for this matter." Pang Tong was shocked.

At the earliest, only Pang Tong knew about the plan to flood Yongzhou. It was not until it started to rain that Pang Tong told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei about it. Liu Bei was always on the hospital bed, so Pang Tong did not tell Liu Bei about it. Besides, Liu Bei was the best person to treat the people. If Liu Bei knew about flooding Yongzhou, Liu Bei's condition might have worsened several times.

Thinking of this, Pang Tong immediately rushed into the Weiyang Palace, hoping to confess to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and fool Liu Bei.

But Pang Tong rushed slowly and was still one step late. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were more than nine feet tall, and each was more than eight feet tall. They were also military generals, so they walked much faster than Pang Tong. So when Pang Tong arrived, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already told the whole story of flooding Yongzhou.

"Second brother, do you mean you know how to flood the Hu people in the Wei River?" Liu Bei's face had turned pale.

"Brother, if this is not the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve the 300,000 Hu army." Guan Yu replied.

"Oh, second brother, what should I say? Third brother doesn't understand, why don't you understand! If you break up the Wei River, you can kill the 300,000 Hu army, but what about the people of Yongzhou? The two sides of the Wei River in Yongzhou will become a country of marsh, and it will be destroyed! Cough cough cough cough cough cough..." Liu Bei said excitedly and cough violently.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu really didn't think about the people's affairs. Guan Yu is a man who is above the top and has always regarded human life as a mustard. Besides, water attack is also something Guan Yu is good at. When Guan Yu flooded the seven armies of water, he also played Cao Cao's 100,000 troops. Therefore, Guan Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with using water attack.

"Your Majesty, be careful, the dragon body is important!" At this time, Pang Tong rushed in from outside.

"Shi Yuan, why don't you stop it?" Liu Bei asked when he saw Pang Tong coming in.

"Your Majesty, I think that after this battle, the Hu people's vitality will be greatly damaged and it will be difficult to make a comeback. This plan can solve the Hu people's great troubles once and for all." Pang Tong said.

Suddenly, Liu Bei realized something and then asked: "Shi Yuan, I ask you, who did this plan come from?"

Pang Tong was slightly surprised and immediately understood that Liu Bei might have noticed some problems.

Everyone has their own style when using tricks. For example, Zhuge Liang is as stable as Mount Tai, while Pang Tong likes to make surprises and wins, and in fact, in Shu, the most ruthless one in Shu is A Dou. Since A Dou rode alone in Jingzhou, every trick basically left no way to live for the enemy, and often even his retreat was cut off. Basically, as long as A Dou's plan fails, there will be no subsequent moves, but once it succeeds, the battle results are indeed very brilliant. This is completely different from the styles of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. Moreover, when A Dou rebelled against Runan, he did not consider the lives and deaths of the people in Runan, so Liu Bei vaguely guessed that the plan to flood Yongzhou was created by A Dou.

"Have you guessed it? It was His Highness the Crown Prince's plan? No, you must not let Your Majesty know that it was His Highness the Crown Prince's plan. If you settle the score in the autumn, it will be troublesome!"

Thinking of this, Pang Tong immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, and I can't do anything about using this trick. I deserve to die!"

Pang Tong said and knelt down and took everything to himself.

"Is it really you who made this plan?" Liu Bei asked with his eyes wide open.

"It's my me, I deserve to die!" Pang Tong immediately admitted.

"Oh, it's good that it's not A Dou, it's good that it's not A Dou! I'm relieved to hand it over to him..." Liu Bei said here and suddenly fell down.
