The Three Kingdoms

Wuyuan City.

Now it was midnight, and the dark and deep sky was brightly illuminated by huge torches.

The flood has gradually receded completely, outside the city, inside the city, within a radius of tens of miles, the muddy world is in a mess, and the whole city seems to be in ruins.

Corpses that have been soaked by the flood for a period of time began to gradually appear in the eyes of the soldiers of the Wei State. They overlapped again and again, and they all showed a kind of whiteness without any blood. .

Tens of thousands of corpses are scattered all over the city. This is a kind of misery in the bleakness, like hell on earth.

Cao Cao walked down from the hillside, stepping on the muddy road, one step was muddy, the other step was angry, and walked into the ruins of Wuyuan City.

This morning, he was in high spirits, with bold words and lofty ambitions. Wei Guo's soldiers were like a rainbow, vowing to break Wuyuan and kill Sun Quan.

Now, he has achieved his first goal.

Wuyuan City was indeed broken, and it was completely broken. The entire city wall was destroyed by the flood, and there were not a single ten houses in the city.

But...he lost.

In this battle, he lost completely, at the hands of Sun Quan, who is only in his prime now, and for this, he also paid a heavy price.

"Bi Yaner, Gu and you are inseparable!"

When the corpses of the soldiers of the Wei State were reflected in Cao Cao's eyes, they were very dazzling, and there was a rage that could not be vented in Cao Cao's heart.

At this moment, Cao Cao's face was as cold as ice, and his gloomy eyes swept away, making all the soldiers around him silent.

"Come on, report the casualties of the soldiers of the State of Wei to Gu!" Cao Cao continued to walk, until he reached the ruins of the city, couldn't help it, and shouted loudly.

"promise!"

At this time, a clerk who was recording came out tremblingly, looking at Cao Cao who was obviously inclined to go berserk at this moment with a little fear in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and reported it softly.

"Report to Your Majesty, in order to attack the city, our army suffered more than [-] casualties. When the flood came, our soldiers were attacking the city without any precautions. Moreover, most of our soldiers were not able to swim, so the casualties were heavy. Now the statistics are out. More than [-] soldiers died in the flood!"

This is because it is almost October now, the water level of Wushui River is not high, and the submersion time is only an hour, so many people escaped their lives.

If during the rainy season in July, this embankment storage is enough to submerge Wuyuan City for a day, then their casualties will be at least twice as many.

"Hahahaha!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly laughed, his laughter was so desolate: "Gu, led [-] troops, went north to the East China Sea, [-] were in Pengcheng, [-] were in Fuyang, [-] were for logistics, and the remaining [-] soldiers And attack the city."

"The [-] Wei Guo elites encircled and suppressed only [-] soldiers of his Sun Zhongmou, but more than [-] Wei Guoerlang were killed or injured, and he also let Sun Zhongmou's main force break out of the encirclement. In the past year, there has never been such a defeat, but I didn't expect to lose to a young Sun Zhongmou in the end, it's ridiculous! It's ridiculous, so are you!"

"Hahaha! Ridiculous"

With clanging voices and bleak laughter, he seemed to be laughing at himself and all the generals of Wei.

"We are incompetent, please punish the king!"

Li Dian, Xu Huang, and other generals of the Wei Kingdom felt ashamed at this moment, quickly knelt down, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this battle is not over yet, why do you say you lost?"

At this time, Xi Zhicai, who had disappeared for a whole day, walked into the quagmire-like Wuyuan City with a tired expression, looked at Cao Cao, and said loudly.

"Zhicai?"

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Xi Zhicai who suddenly returned, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"My lord, this battle was due to Zhicai's negligence. Zhicai woke up too late, which caused Pang Shiyuan to break the embankment and flood our army. Zhicai was sorry for Wei, the king, and all the soldiers. He will return to the court in the future. Zhicai must be punished."

Xi Zhicai walked in, first bowed and apologized to Cao Cao and all the soldiers, then his face became resolute, and his voice sounded again, saying: "But this battle is not over yet, we need to cheer up and wipe out Sun Zhongmou in one fell swoop." Bring back the head of Sun Zhongmou to commemorate the thousands of dead souls of our Wei State who died in Wuyuan City!"

"The last general will kill Sun Zhongmou!"

"I will be the vanguard, and I am willing to lead three thousand troops to hunt down Sun Zhongmou!"

"If I don't kill Sun Zhongmou, I swear I won't be a human being!"

"kill!"

Xi Zhicai's words awakened all the soldiers, and all the soldiers quickly fell into the excitement. When their anger turned into a fighting spirit, they all became energetic, very excited, and asked for a fight one after another.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao also became excited at this time, his eyes burst into a piercing light, quickly pulled out his sword, pointed to the east, and shouted: "Sun Zhong murdered my Wei Guoerlang, if you don't kill Sun Zhongmou, I swear alone Don't give up!"

"kill!"

All the soldiers shouted and shouted in response to Cao Cao's determination.

"Xu Huang!" Cao Cao nodded.

"exist!"

"Gu now orders you to quickly lead [-] unscathed cavalry to pursue Sun Zhongmou. If you can kill Sun Zhongmou on the way, it will be great. If you can't, station outside Liangwu City and wait for the main force of Gu!"

"promise!"

Xu Huang's eyes lit up, and he took the order to go.

"Li Dian!"

"exist!"

"Quickly rest your soldiers and horses that are still capable of fighting, bury the pot to make food, rest for three hours, and wait for the dawn. You must personally attack Liangwu."

Cao Cao knew that the number of troops he could mobilize now was actually not much. Of the [-] soldiers and horses, [-] died in battle, and about [-] to [-] lost their combat effectiveness. That is, the cavalry and infantry he could mobilize were less than [-]. .

"Promise!" Li Dian quickly took the order and left.

"Let's disperse, all the generals. Quickly clean up the battlefield, clean up Wuyuan City, resettle the people, and dispose of the corpses. Don't let the corpses rot and bring plagues to endanger the safety of our army!"

Cao Cao sighed and said, in today's Wuyuan, there are thousands of corpses in Wu State, thousands of corpses of common people, and more than 1 corpses in Wei State. If they are not handled well, just wait for the plague!

Today's Wuyuan has a population of tens of thousands. This time the floods only ravaged Cao Cao's soldiers and horses. Zhuge Jin arranged it in advance. The people were prepared and the casualties were not large. However, Wuyuan City is now in ruins. How to resettle them has become a problem. a puzzle.

"promise!"

The hearts of all the soldiers trembled, and they also knew that if the current battlefield is not handled well, it will become a big problem, so they should deal with it quickly.

"Zhicai!"

After the crowd dispersed, Cao Cao's face relaxed slightly, his eyes were bleak and gloomy, and he said with a wry smile: "I lost to Sun Quan again!"

"Your Majesty, one success or failure is nothing, and the final victory will only belong to our country of Wei!" Xi Zhicai's eyes flickered with brilliance: "Although Sun Zhongmou escaped the catastrophe of Wuyuan this time, the road to Tancheng He has been blocked by General Le Jin, he wants to retreat to Yuzhou Mountain, but there is still no way out, we still have a chance."
