"Yes, it turns out that this old man still hasn't given up on Yuan and Lu's plan to unite. He hates me deeply for ruining his plan, so he is absolutely unwilling to give me a chance. In his eyes, I just hinder his unification.

A stumbling block to the world’s great plans.”

Zhang Kun thought carefully for a while, his eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly understood.

"What should I say? Is Chen Gongtai so ambitious?"

Lu Lingqi asked in confusion.

"It's not that he is ambitious, it's that he has the lofty ambition to help the Dragon Palace and bring peace to the world. People from this kind of noble family, no matter where they stand, will always take their own class very seriously and exclude other classes. In their bones, they don't follow

We are on the same path. Your father didn't understand this, and even Cao Cao didn't understand it."

Zhang Kun smiled coldly.

"Yuan Shu was born in the fourth generation of the San Gong family. When his ancestors and father were in power, seven out of ten officials in the world came from his family... Yuan Shao occupied Hebei and Yuan Shu occupied Huainan. You say, in the eyes of their disciples and former officials,

If the two become emperors, will these scholars also follow the rising tide and become officials?"

"good."

Although Lu Lingqi seldom cared about the important affairs of the court, she could still see these obvious things clearly.

He nodded in agreement immediately.

"Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor at this time, and his disobedience is clearly revealed. Although the princes in the world are very dissatisfied with him, and they are shouting and killing each other, in my opinion, most of them are not because of his treason, but because he first proclaimed himself emperor and achieved great results.

Status...

The princes are dissatisfied with this behavior of giving orders to all directions and attracting heroes from all directions. Yuan Shao and others would never want to see their famous ministers and generals being won over by Yuan Shu."

Zhang Kun continued to analyze the mentality of the princes in the world.

Since the young emperor of the Han Dynasty was kidnapped by Cao Cao, he ordered him to leave Xudu and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.

The Han family's world has basically existed in name but in reality.

Smart people pretend to be smart, and no one takes the Han Dynasty seriously anymore.

At most, it's just a verbal shouting.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there were really a few loyal Han officials who would be buried with the Han Dynasty even if their bodies were shattered, but such people were only a handful after all.

Most people are planning for their own future.

And Chen Gong is also one of them.

"He regarded Xuzhou as a pledge of surrender." Zhang Kun said categorically: "That day, he secretly communicated with Yuan Shu and encouraged Hao Meng to rebel, just to take over Xuzhou and connect Huaisi.

In this way, with Yangzhou and Xuzhou in hand, Yuan Shu's foundation has grown stronger, his momentum has been established, and he has the image of a rising dragon. At this time, he will attack with his army again, seize Jiangdong, and immediately occupy half of the world.

At that time, no matter who wins or loses between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu will probably have the last laugh... because at that time, he had enough troops and food, a vast territory, and already had the capital to gather people to establish a dynasty."

The more Lu Lingqi heard, the more chilled she became, "So, until now, Chen Gongtai still has not given up on letting his father marry his daughter, and has also resorted to divorce tactics to sow seeds of doubt in his father's heart... He even went so far as to risk his own death.

Promote the marriage and make a last ditch effort."

The more she talked, the angrier she became: "No wonder, today Cao Xing died in battle and my father was injured and returned to the city. He actually mentioned sending me to Yangzhou again... He clearly said that Xiapi was about to be hopeless, unless my father could lead the troops and live outside to coordinate with the city.

Only then can we withstand the siege of the city by the army..."

"Did he say that? Haha... What a trick. Unfortunately, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. Facts have proved that Cao Cao is not without resourceful people. He has blocked all the ways to break the situation in advance. If I guess

That’s right, the embankments have begun to burst and the water has been released over there.”

"What?"

Lu Lingqi was shocked and felt something was wrong in her heart.

"What else could it be? This battle has lasted for nearly two months, and it's time to come to an end...

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Chen Deng led a total of 100,000 troops, which consumed countless amounts of food and grass every day. They were also impatient and would rather resort to extermination tactics than prolong the war.

Therefore, they are bound to succeed unexpectedly. Xiapi City is located in a low-lying area. Is there any simpler method than diverting water to irrigate the city?"

"What a thief!"

Lu Lingqi was confused. She turned around and saw people running and shouting on all sides of the street.

First there were one or two, then ten or eight, and the whole city was in a commotion.

There were cries from all sides.

Standing on a high place and looking over, you can see a layer of white lines slowly appearing at the west, south, and north city gates, and the sound of rushing water reaches your ears from afar.

"It's true that water was diverted into the city. Cao Cao was so vicious. How could he do it?"

Fire and water are merciless. Under normal circumstances, both warring parties will have a tacit understanding and there is no need to resort to such vicious tactics.

Because once this plan is used.

Death and injury are not as simple as a military battle or a duel between generals.

Instead, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people died in droves.

The first to die were the old, weak, women and children. Not even a chicken or a dog could escape with their lives.

This water has just entered the city, and the water outlet is not too big. If you want to fill the whole city and drown all the people, it is not possible yet. You need to continue to draw the water.

But if we don't take any strategy and don't destroy the army outside the city, we just watch helplessly. Sooner or later, water will flood Xiapi and fill the whole city.

When the time comes, everything will be destroyed. No matter how powerful the soldiers in the city are, they can only suffer death in the face of the flood.

Not to mention the more than 200,000 ordinary people in the city.

"What can't he do?"

Zhang Kun's eyes were sarcastic, and using such methods is the true character of a hero these days.

On that day, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Tao Qian in Xuzhou. In order to avenge his father, it is said that he massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou City. The corpses were piled up in mountains, so that the Si River was blocked.

No one can say exactly how many people died in that battle.

Some say that only more than 10,000 soldiers died, and tens of thousands of people were killed.

Some said that hundreds of thousands of people were killed, including chickens and dogs...

Anyway, Zhang Kun is not a party to research and does not care much about the specific situation and the specific number of deaths.

He only knew that if Cao Cao lost his temper, he would really dare to massacre the city.

If Xiapi had supported it longer, he was sure that all the people in the city would be trapped by water.

For Boss Cao, it's not a problem how many people die, but how many people can't be killed is a problem.

"Sister Hua, prepare the army for war and follow me out of the city. Those with horses will ride, those without horses will walk. The whole army will be dispatched."

Then Zhang Kun stopped shouting.

The Chen Family Manor immediately started shouting and neighing, and the entire team was mobilized.

After training for more than a month, these soldiers have all become fat and strong, with inexhaustible strength in their bodies. At this time, their morale is extremely high.

Under the leadership of Zhang Kun, they screamed and wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.

The fourth sister Hua was wearing armor and followed closely behind Zhang Kun. Qiao San and Wen Liu followed behind with the infantry. The group headed straight to the east gate of the city in a mighty manner.

Lu Lingqi was extremely envious when she saw it, and quickly followed her horse: "I'll go too, I want to go into battle too."

Her two hundred female soldiers from the Xiu Gong Battalion were like a joke. They were training soldiers to guard the back house on weekdays, and Lu Bu would not care about her.

If they really dare to take these female soldiers to the battlefield, they will naturally be scolded with their heads and faces covered.

Therefore, the experience of leading troops in battles like this was only experienced by her on the way to escape. Since she found her father, she has never experienced it again.

…

When they arrived at the east city gate, Lu Bu and his generals were all gathered here.

At this time, floods flooded the city.

Most of the other three gates were flooded, and the march was poor. They were not afraid of a sneak attack, and there was no need to leave many troops to garrison.

Only the east gate is flat and the water is far away.

The army outside the city formed a fan shape, and the army inside the city also acted as if they were facing a powerful enemy, preparing for Cao's army to attack the city.

However, in this case, Cao Cao was not a fool. How could he lose his troops and attack the city forcefully?

All he needs to do is wait.

After waiting for a day or two, the soldiers and civilians in the city would either leave the city and die, or they would be trapped and drowned in the city.

There is absolutely no third way to go.

"General Lu, you fought and refused to fight, surrendered and refused to surrender. Could it be that you want the whole city to be buried with you?"

Zhang Kun rode in the lead, carrying a three-pointed two-edged sword, wearing silver armor, and riding a white horse. He slowly approached the city gate, looked at the soldiers in front of him blocking the way, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way."

Gao Shun remained silent and waved his hand, and the soldiers blocking the road moved out of the way like running water, actually giving orders and prohibiting them.

Zhang Kun took a deep look at Gao Shun, then rode his horse and led the troops directly through, when he saw Lu Bu.

This General Lu has long lost the majestic and domineering appearance he had more than a month ago. Now his beard is long and unruly, his eye sockets are sunken, his clothes and armor are quite damaged, and there are still some blood stains.
