Although this plan seriously injured Yingcheng's vitality, due to the persistent construction of Yingcheng for a long time, the solid city wall did not collapse under the impact of the flood, but still stood firmly in place.The first wave of the flood had destroyed the city wall, and the remaining aftermath could not be destroyed. Slowly, the water surged back and forth in the surrounding area, and finally calmed down.

Outside Yingcheng, there is a vast ocean.

The flood washed away all obstacles encountered along the way, and there were many sundries, broken branches of trees, and even corpses floating on the water.

And within Yingcheng, the water was getting longer and longer, and the water outside the city slowly penetrated through various gaps and seeped into the city, almost reaching the waist and belly of the people, so that the people in the city had no place to live and live.Many people had to stack the furniture high, and the whole family spent the day squatting on the furniture.

"General," the deputy said anxiously, "what should we do now?"

Guan Chong was silent.

The deputy couldn't help crying, sucked his nose, wiped his tears, and tried to calm himself down, saying: "It may take a month for the flood to recede. We can't wait. The supplies in the city are all soaked in water now." Many people in the city were injured or even fell ill. If no decision is made, Yingcheng may not be able to sustain itself. "

Guan Chong said: "It doesn't matter that Yingcheng can't support himself, in a few days, if Li Rui is not stupid, he will lead troops in."

The deputy was a little puzzled by this: "How did they fight? The 2 people I observed in the Southern Zhou Dynasty had no boats at all. Now that the flood is still there, they shouldn't be able to get through."

Guan Chong said: "Now they are entrenched on a high mountain, where there are many trees, and they can make rafts and boats without much effort. But in a few days, the foundation of my Yingcheng city wall will be soaked loose, and the surrounding defense capabilities will be almost zero. If they don’t fight now, why don’t they wait for the flood to recede and let me linger in the city looking for a chance to fight back!”

The deputy had a faint premonition, and as expected, Guan Chong said: "Order the whole city to use wooden materials to build rafts, and we will evacuate Yingcheng in three days."

The deputy was so anxious that he couldn't speak.

Guan Chong gritted his teeth: "Whether it's military rations or ships, it must not be enough for the whole city to evacuate. Here, I order that all Yingcheng guards abandon the city and go straight to Feiyuan Pass!"

"No, general, you can't do this!" The deputy said anxiously, "If you do this, what will the hundreds of thousands of people in the city do!"

Guan Chong said: "Instead of following us and fleeing for our lives, it is better to surrender to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. People in the Southern Zhou Dynasty value their reputation and will not kill prisoners indiscriminately."

"Even if this is the case," the deputy said, "General, do you want to kill yourself? If you do this, when you return to the capital, the king will definitely not let you go."

"So what, the war is imminent. If we don't preserve the vitality of our Xifan army, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the king to convict, and the Golden Palace will already become a record on the monument of meritorious service of other countries." Guan Chong said: Such a crime, if you want to go to the [-]th floor of hell, go, I am willing."

"General!" The deputy cried bitterly, and it took a long time before he responded: "This subordinate obeys the order."

And indeed, as Guan Chong said, Li Rui finally couldn't lie down anymore, and took over some follow-up matters.On the other hand, Zhou Jilun felt that the greatest credit must be his own, so he had to give others some soup, so he turned a blind eye and let Li Rui also grab some credit.

When You Hongyin heard about this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to start the next step.

The main purpose of the water attack he set up was to prevent Zhou Jilun from messing around, but there were also some additional purposes.

The first is to test the real ability of Xifan generals. This kind of conspiracy is unexpected and breaks the way. You Hongyin wants to see how Xifan's generals will choose, and find out the opponent's way of thinking, so that he can carry out targeted investigations on key people. Analysis is the only way to respond better. After all, he is a member of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and has a natural hostile relationship with Xi Fan.

The second is to prevent Li Rui from pretending to be deaf and dumb.Southern Zhou still wants the territory of Xifan, so it cannot use too drastic means when attacking, because too drastic means will arouse strong hatred among the people, and this sentiment will greatly affect future rule , and if all the people are killed, then these territories will lose their original meaning.Therefore, Li Rui, a cunning fox pretending to be confused, could only come forward to clean up the mess.And only when Li Rui, a person with a normal brain circuit, came forward to direct, You Hongyin would really show himself.

You Hongyin really didn't want to deal with Zhou Jilun. This kind of person's way of thinking deviated too much from his, and he couldn't guess what this person would do next.He is not afraid of other people being smart, not afraid of dangerous situations, and not afraid that he has too little room to exert himself, but he hates things that are beyond his control.

Soon, under Li Rui's organization, it took about four or five days. The soldiers of the Southern Zhou Dynasty used local materials to make a lot of ship valves, or simply dripped water to attack the flooded Yingcheng with all their strength. .

Then, the tofu-like city wall soaked in water was knocked down, but Nan Zhou's team did not encounter any resistance from the Xivan guards.

The flood was flowing in the streets and alleys, and there were many sundries and livestock on the surface of the water, while the people in the city were sitting on the roof of the house with despair and numbness, staring at the invaders with dull eyes.

Li Rui was stunned.

Although he thought that the resistance in the city would not be too strong, he did not expect that Yingcheng's army would abandon the city and flee.For the first time in his many years of fighting, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Sitting on the boat valve, You Hongyin sighed in his heart, Xi Fan's butler is well-deserved.Guan Chong made a decisive decision, and he was so ruthless that he cut off his own arm. He seemed to be fleeing in embarrassment, but in fact he threw a big burden on Nan Zhou, so that the people of Nan Zhou had to reorganize Yingcheng, and there was no time to chase the enemy. and energy.

Moreover, with this retreat, the flood in Yingcheng became an obstacle on the way for the coalition forces to attack. At least until the flood subsided, the coalition forces could not attack Feiyuanguan. Instead, they bought Xi Fan more than a month.

You Hongyin carefully observed Li Rui's expression, and found that this person probably had never encountered such a situation, and he didn't know what to do at the moment.He signaled Uncle Zheng, who was rowing the boat, to row the boat to Li Rui's side, and start his original plan.

Soon, You Hongyin was promoted to commander-in-chief Qian, directly commanding their army, and began to deal with the follow-up affairs of Yingcheng.

The biggest problem today is food.But fortunately, when Guan Chong led the army back to Flying Ape Pass, the transportation was inconvenient, and the food he took away was not much, and the rest was still soaked in water.You Hongyin asked some soldiers to use rafts to salvage the grain and dead livestock in the water and transport them back to the camp on the high mountain, and told the soldiers to wash the food with clean water, then boil it and cook it, and not eat it raw.The problem of food is mostly solved.

Then there are the people trapped here. There are too many people, and most of them are emotionally agitated and maintain hostility towards Nan Zhou.You Hongyin invited a lot of eloquent and quick-response soldiers to memorize their speeches, scattered them all over the city to appease and persuade them, and selected those who slowly accepted the rule of the Southern Zhou Dynasty from among them, and transported them back to the camp first. Then let these people continue to log and build ships, or do other work in exchange for living food.There are people who are constantly shaken, and people are constantly being taken out of the predicament, and a few special thorns are chopped off. This method of appeasement and division in batches is very effective in this era of deep servility, and they are still alive. food, facing difficulties all the time, those ordinary people cannot sustain it for too long.Sure enough, under the threat of death, the people in the city quickly succumbed.

After these two major problems are resolved, it is time to clean up all kinds of corpses in the water to prevent the outbreak of disease.Many of these corpses are relatives of the people in the city. With the people actively participating in the salvage, there will be no shortage of manpower. Slowly, although the water in Yingcheng has not receded, it has gradually been cleaned up.

To be honest, this process seems simple, but it did test You Hongyin's abilities in all aspects. He made many people unconvinced just because he was airborne to President Qian. .Later, during the command process, he frequently showed his forward-looking vision, superb internal affairs management skills and excellent organizational skills, and finally slowly and completely subdued those dissatisfied people.

In fact, real soldiers understand that fighting is not only about military strength, but also about strategy and logistics.You Hongyin has outstanding abilities in all aspects, and being the Commander-in-Chief is a blessing for their army, and Li Rui also feels that You Hongyin is a very good deputy.

Salvage food and other supplies, and clean up corpses in the water. Because all food and water need to be boiled before they can be eaten, a lot of firewood is needed, and a lot of manpower is needed to chop firewood and logs. You Hongyin tries to find more Many things are arranged for the people of Yingcheng to do, and the daily food supply is also limited, just to prevent riots.However, before the arrival of the Qi and Zhou allied forces, there were still several incidents. These people were all chopped down, and before each execution, it was necessary for other people to watch and speak out against the rioters.At the same time, he also arranged for many Xifan people who were pro-Zhou to continue to spread some remarks, creating an atmosphere where accepting the rule of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was also good, because people have a herd mentality.

The domestication of this model has penetrated into the daily life of all the living people in Yingcheng, and the effect is very fast. When the main army of the Southern Zhou Dynasty arrived in Yingcheng, there were not many rebellious people.

And Yan Xingyun, who was silent for a long time and never showed up, finally opened his mouth: "You are more cold-blooded than me."

"Oh?" You Hongyin said, "Is there?"

"The lives of tens of thousands of people, you probably don't pay much attention to them at all." Yan Xingyun said: "No wonder, life and death must be common in the underworld, you are used to it."

You Hongyin chuckled: "Then what about you, how do you do in this situation."

"I," said Yan Xingyun proudly, "assassinated Zhou Jilun. Commander Li Rui was actually a member of Lord Duan. Naturally, I won't foolishly take everyone to attack the city and die."

"Oh, what happened next?"

"Later, that old thief, Prince Rui, came with a large army, kept talking to others, and imposed charges on Commander Li. There is little evidence to prove that it is the killer sent by Xi Fan, why, why did they impose all the charges on Li Rui!"

You Hongyin couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said with restraint, "Then how did you die later?"

Yan Xingyun calmed down his mood: "Later, the Southern Zhou side disregarded Daqi's opposition and stormed Yingcheng alone. The casualties were heavy, but they failed to take it. The Emperor of Southern Zhou finally had to withdraw Prince Rui's military power and let Prince Duan Leading the army. Prince Duan used his troops like a god. After many consultations with Da Qi, he first carried out a two-month siege, and carried out feint attacks every day to confuse the audience. Later, taking advantage of the lack of supplies in Yingcheng, the whole army was exhausted. False attack and make false ones come true, and capture Yingcheng in one fell swoop."

You Hongyin said: "You have a very good sense of Prince Duan."

Yan Xingyun said: "Yes, seeing him is like seeing my father. And Prince Duan's mother came from the Lian family, and was once my mother's family."

"It seems that you are very contradictory," You Hongyin said, "Nowadays, the emperor of Southern Zhou Dynasty can be said to be the queen of your former enemy, but because of Prince Duan's character and background, you have a great affection for this member of the royal family. "

"It's none of your business!" Yan Xingyun seemed to be touched in his heart, and retorted in a bad tone.

Hmph, it's none of my business, You Hongyin almost wanted to say, since you care so much about him, why don't I help him send him into reincarnation to meet you.Fortunately, Kankan remembered his responsibilities as a mentor, and he was already past the age of self-willedness, so he refrained from saying anything.

"You haven't said how you died."

"When the coalition forces were about to capture the Golden Palace, the Emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty confiscated Prince Duan's military power in three decrees, asked him to return to the frontier defense line, and transferred Zhou Yongsi back." Speaking of this, Yan Xingyun gritted his teeth: "Da Qi That old thief Xia Houlie was cunning and sinister. He saw through the lack of protection around the prince, so he actually intercepted him halfway. I followed the prince back to the defense line, and I did my last effort for the prince. Unfortunately, even though martial arts are world-class, two fists are hard to beat Four hands, I failed to save the prince's life after all."

"If it were me, I would also do this kind of business that is sure to make a profit without losing money." You Hongyin said, "Prince Duan dared to go back alone, there must be something to rely on. But, I'm afraid that this dependency will not work."

"I don't know." Yan Xingyun recalled for a long time, and said in a daze.

"That's right, what can you, a person with a brain full of muscles, know?" You Hongyin said leisurely: "In your opinion, how should you live in the second life to be considered successful and not successful?" Wandering around the world in vain."

"At least," Yan Xingyun said, "at least the prince must be saved, his life has been too miserable."

You Hongyin said: "Okay then." He said word by word: "Then, Yan Xingyun, just open your eyes and see clearly how I made my life not so incompetent and my death not so wronged of."

After spending such a long time, You Hongyin, who finally asked about the purpose of this life, sighed. Therefore, smart people are not scary, but stupid people who are second-year-old are scary, just like Zhou Jilun, and like Yan Xingyun.
