Chapter 521 Flooded Seventh Army(1/2)
After bidding farewell to the miracle doctor Wu Pu, the topic of "bone scraping to cure poison" continued to spread in the military camp.
General Guan Yu's reputation of not being afraid of the pain of scraping his bones also inspired the soldiers.
It is a pity that Wu Pu was not retained in the army!
However, this is because the Guan family and his son don't know how to retain people. If Zhao Tong decides, he can stay for him.
After all, he is a time traveler and knows the opponent's weaknesses.
Hua Tuo died at the hands of Cao Cao, which made Wu Pu and other disciples feel resentful.
The "Qing Nang Book" that Hua Tuo had worked hard for all his life and regarded as a treasure was destroyed in prison.
They must want to recover.
It's just that this project is not small. Without official manpower and material support, how could Wu Pu and a few other people have this spare capacity?
It's a pity that Guan Yu and Guan Ping don't have a God's perspective and can't find reasons to persuade them.
If Zhao Tong would exchange interests from this perspective.
Of course, it may also be due to Guan Yu's unwillingness to threaten him with other things.
…
In the camp north of Fancheng.
Since secretly shooting Guan Yu with an arrow, Yan Xing's arrogance has become more and more arrogant.
He frequently requested battle from Yu Jin, the governor of the Seventh Army, and took advantage of this opportunity to attack the Jingzhou military camp on the north bank and drive the enemy troops to the south bank first.
Let’s eliminate the threat from Fancheng first!
However, these requests were rejected one after another by Yu Jin.
"General Yu, the arrow was smeared with poison by the general. Anyone hit by the arrow will die from the poison as long as it invades the heart and lungs!"
"Even Daluo Jinxian can't save him."
"Even if Guan Yu was lucky enough to survive, he still wouldn't be able to recover after being hit by an arrow in his left arm for a year and a half."
"When attacking at this time, the advantage lies with me!"
"General Yu, think twice and don't waste your opportunity."
Yan Xing kept trying to persuade him, but Yu Jin remained indifferent and handled military affairs.
Just after he finished speaking, he replied lightly, "No."
Seeing this, Yan Xing could only retreat helplessly!
A hint of dissatisfaction arose deep in my heart.
He felt that Yu Jin must have lost the courage he once had in recent years due to being away from the battlefield for many years.
Now facing Guan Yu who is showing his sharp edge, he dare not take the initiative to fight with him.
At the same time, I regret that my talents are in such an important position.
But there is no way.
He surrendered to the King of Wei too late and was not reused.
He can only serve as a pioneer under the command of Yu Quan.
"Oh, there's nothing we can do!"
Yan walked out of the camp and sighed secretly.
"Rumble..."
But as soon as the lamentation subsided, he realized that something seemed a little wrong with the climate.
There were dark clouds in the sky above, and thunder broke out all over the sky.
"Alas, another rainy season has arrived!"
"The rainy season in Jingbei is really weird. During this period, it rains heavily from time to time."
Yan Xing was in a bad mood, but he didn't care about the rain.
…
"Boom~"
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The climate here in northern Jingzhou is indeed changing very rapidly. The sky that was sunny just now was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, and wind and rain were raging.
Countless raindrops fell on the water.
On the north bank, in the Jingzhou military camp.
Guan Yu, who was recovering from his injuries in the tent, heard that it was pouring rain again outside the tent, so he unconsciously put down the bamboo slips in his hand, walked slowly to the door and stared at the rainstorm falling from the sky. He paused for a long time and then asked:
"Ping'er, how many times has it rained this month?"
After the words fell, Guan Ping, who was standing beside him, quickly responded with his hands raised, "Father, I can't remember it anymore."
"In the past two months since our army besieged Xiangfan, there have been frequent rainy seasons here."
"Especially since July, there have been countless heavy rains."
"oh?"
After Guan Yu heard this, a trace of contemplation seemed to appear on his ruddy face, and he said softly, "It seems that the opportunity to defeat the enemy is about to come!"
"Huh? What do you say, father?"
After hearing this, Guan Ping couldn't help but look suspicious on his face.
"You will know when the time comes."
"After the rain stops, you go to Zhao Guoshan and go out to inspect the camp with your father."
Guan Yu waved his hand and said with a solemn look on his face.
"Here!"
Heavy rains come and go quickly.
After the second half of the crashing sound, it was already sunny after the rain.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the sun reappeared among the patches of white clouds.
Guan Yu and his party also came out from the back of the camp at this moment and ran all the way to the back mountain of Fancheng. They stood in the mountains and were surrounded by a bunch of green leaves and weeds.
In particular, the navy blue clothes Guan Yu is wearing seem to blend in with the color of the green vegetation!
Looking at the thick sound of water flowing under the mountain.
Guan Yu looked around and asked, "Where is that?"
After hearing this, Wang Fu, who was in charge of the discussion and was also the general staff officer of the army this time, raised his hands and responded, "If you tell me, that should be the Hekou River."
"It is the location of the dam that connects the upper reaches of Mianshui River to Fancheng and Xiangyang!"
"Dyke?"
"If the Han River overflows and the dam here is submerged, wouldn't it turn the surrounding area into a vast ocean?"
Guan Yu responded softly.
"That's true!"
After an inspection, Guan Yu left with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back.
Feeling very smooth!
Although the generals were puzzled, they had vaguely glimpsed something.
This may be a good strategy for your general to defeat the enemy.
After late July, the rainy season in Jingbei becomes more and more intense.
Heavy rainstorms came one after another.
The water level above the Han River is gradually increasing.
Wenpin, who could still lead Jiangxia's crowd, was helpless this time because he had no navy but the water level had soared due to the storm!
We can no longer lead our troops to attack the Jingzhou Army's logistics and food routes.
Moreover, the water level is getting higher day by day, and there is no downward trend in a short period of time.
Wenpin's troops could only be trapped in Anlu City this time.
In Xiangyang and under Fancheng, the water level has skyrocketed, and the situation of the Han River overflowing has become increasingly obvious.
It's a pity that no one in Cao's camp seems to have noticed the clues.
Cao Ren, the commander-in-chief of Fan City, not only failed to prepare ships for emergencies, but also failed to order the troops to garrison Yu Jin in a low-lying area in time, so that Yan Xing's seven armies could be moved to higher ground in time.
But perhaps it was also because the Jingzhou military camp was still swaying in the wind and rain, which gave Cao's army the wrong impression.
