Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 15: Nanyang Raiders
Liu Ce looked at Zhang Fei and Dian Wei's expectant eyes and said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Third brother, you lead the cavalry and Dian Wei the infantry. Follow me to the east of the southern city to find a place to garrison!"

When Zhang Fei and Dian Wei heard that there was no task for them, they felt like discouraged balls.

Seeing this, Liu Ce immediately spoke seriously.

"In the future, there will be battles for you to fight. Train the troops for me first, and don't wait for the real fight to be a counselor!"

When the two heard this, they immediately clasped their fists in agreement, promising that such a situation would never happen.

Xi Zhicai and Xu Chu traveled all day and night, and finally found Dong Zhuo's team two days later.

Xi Zhicai knew that Dong Zhuo trusted his son-in-law Niu Fu the most, so he went to see Niu Fu before seeing him.

He successfully persuaded Niu Fu with his eloquence, and then the two went to Dong Zhuo's tent together overnight.

With the cooperation of Xi Zhicai and Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo finally changed his mind and ordered the army to march towards Nanyang.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also mobilized some soldiers and horses from Yuzhou and Yanzhou in the name of General Dong Zhonglang for reinforcements.

Ten days later, Dong Zhuo led an army of [-] to the border of Nanyang. After Zhao Hong got the news, he immediately dispatched [-] troops to stop it.

Although Dong Zhuo was not a shrewd commander, he did have a group of warriors under him who would fight for him through life and death.

So when Dong Zhuo's army fought against the Yellow Turban Army, Dong Zhuo's side always had a very obvious advantage.

Coupled with Xi Zhicai's advice, Zhao Hong's 5 people were quickly beaten down to just over 3.

There are two strong guards in the high ditch of Wancheng, and Zhao Hong can't break through the city gate in a short time.

But the east gate of the city was already dilapidated, and Zhao Hong was very reluctant to give up like this.

Therefore, Zhao Hong could only send another [-] troops to the north to resist Dong Zhuo, and he personally led the army to launch a fierce attack on the city.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, but unfortunately God was not in favor.

From the fifth day Dong Zhuojun arrived in Nanyang, this area has been raining heavily.

The heavy rain stopped Dong Zhuo's army from attacking and made Zhao Hong suffer.

It rained heavily for seven consecutive days, and Zhao Hong's original camp turned into a swamp of water.

Before he was helpless, he could only order the large troops to move to a higher place.

At the same time, Liu Ce, Zhang Fei, and Dian Wei were hiding in a mountain forest to avoid the rain.

Dian Wei walked quickly into Liu Ce's big tent wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat.

"My lord, Zhao Hongzhen has sent the army to the mountain on our right as you expected!"

Zhang Fei chuckled when he heard this, then turned to look at Liu Ce and asked.

"Brother, can we act now?"

Liu Ce is constantly deducing something in front of a self-made sand table.

"Given two days, no matter what, let him transfer all the troops to the mountains!"

Zhang Fei sighed heavily after hearing this, at this time Liu Ce turned to look at Dian Wei and said.

"At night, you order people to send a letter to Wancheng, and tell them that there is a flood, and tell the people near Wancheng to move quickly!"

After hearing this, Dian Wei clasped his fists and made a promise, then turned around and walked out quickly.

Zhang Fei sat across from Liu Ce and looked at Liu Ce curiously and asked.

"Brother, if you spread the news so early, aren't you afraid of being known by Zhao Hong's secret work?"

After hearing this, Liu Ce smiled slightly, then stood up and stretched before speaking slowly.

"Zhao Hong is a headstrong person, even if the news reaches his ears, he will not care! After all, it has been raining for such a long time, even if there is a flood, it is not uncommon!"

Zhang Fei nodded slowly after hearing this, and at this time Liu Ce spoke again.

"Order someone to contact your second brother, and order him to break the embankment and release the water at midnight in two days' time!"

Zhang Fei got up and said hello, then strode outside.

Early the next morning, the villages near Wancheng knew that there was going to be a flood, and thousands of people moved their families.

The secret work of the Yellow Turban Army hidden among the common people naturally spread the news to Zhao Hong as soon as possible.

Inside the big tent of the Yellow Turban Army in the mountains.

"General, the people at the bottom of the mountain have spread the word that there will be a flood in the last two days! Shall we let the brothers at the bottom of the mountain also move up the mountain?"

The newly promoted lieutenant general Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhao Hong worriedly and said.

Zhao Hong glanced at Pei Yuanshao, then picked up a bowl of hot soup and took a sip happily.After feeling his body warm for a while, he spoke.

"There is such a big place on the mountain, how can it be possible to station 10,000+ troops? You can just let them go to a higher place to camp... As for the flood, I'm not sure if there will be any! Let's pay more attention to Wan The situation in the city."

Pei Yuanshao frowned tightly after hearing this, then clasped his fists as promised and turned to leave.

As soon as he came out of the camp, a tall, black-faced man approached and said.

"How about it, what does our general say? Give us that mountain to camp?"

This person is Pei Yuanshao's friend and lieutenant general, named Zhou Cang.

Pei Yuanshao turned his head to look at Zhou Cang with a depressed face, and then said with a heavy sigh.

"Go, go back and talk!"

Seeing Pei Yuanshao's expression, Zhou Cang knew that the relocation must not go well.

The two went down the mountain together in the heavy rain, and returned to the camp like a fish pond.

"His grandma's, the water is up to his calves! If we don't leave, we will all have to feed the fish!"

Zhou Cang started yelling and cursing as soon as he entered the tent.

Pei Yuanshao sighed heavily after he walked in, and said with a bitter sigh.

"Zhao Hong only cares about his direct descendants. He doesn't care about the life and death of those people down the mountain! Let's find a high place to move by ourselves. There is no high ground near Wancheng!"

When Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately turned around and said angrily.

"The one surnamed Zhao doesn't want us to live, so we can't make him feel comfortable! Why don't we rush up the mountain tonight, those crooked melons under him are absolutely no match for our brothers!"

After hearing Zhou Cang's words, Pei Yuanshao couldn't help being a little bit surprised.

"Brother, this is absolutely unacceptable! It's a big taboo to defect, so we brothers won't be able to mess around in the rivers and lakes in the future!"

After hearing this, Zhou Cang asked angrily with his hands on his hips.

"Then what do you think? Are you really staying to feed the fish?"

Pei Yuanshao rolled his eyes, then said with a smile.

"Didn't he want us to dismantle the camp, then let's move the camp to a safe place!"

Zhou Cang didn't understand what was going on at the beginning, but he understood it after taking a closer look.

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang organized the army to relocate overnight, and they directly exposed the right side of Zhao Hongzhong's army to the Wancheng army.

When Qin Jie, the prefect of Wancheng, learned of this, he immediately summoned the generals under his tent to discuss the matter of raiding Zhao Hong.

Two days later, at midnight, Guan Yu was ordered to break the embankment and release water in the upper reaches of the Fei River, flooding the Yellow Turban Army near Wancheng.

Liu Ce took the soldiers on the boats that had been prepared a long time ago, and went down the river, heading straight for Huanglong!
