Liu Bei's army's camp was also carefully designed. Liu Bei dug soil from the middle and then piled it up to both sides to form a low-lying terrain in the middle of the camp. He dug out four village gates to connect the waterway. As soon as the water comes, he will rush into the camp along the four village gates, turning the camp into an artificial lake.

The flood was very fast. Although Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of troops, it was too late. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Chu hugged Cao Cao and climbed onto the wall of the village. Then the flood rolled in. Cao's army, who was still on the bridge, wanted to escape to the north shore, was wiped out by the flood. Hongshui rushed into the camp along the gate of the village, rushing Cao's army in the camp to the east and west. Cao Cao tilted his head and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Fortunately, this is a man-made flood after all, and only this wave has come. Soon, the flood slowly retreated.

But Cao's army had completely lost both its morale and organizational strength.

"The time has come. Go out of the city to capture Cao Cao!" Lu Zhi waved the order flag. The Xuzhou army, who was chased by Cao Cao, had already been full of anger and screamed and killed them. Cao's army, who was completely defeated by the flood, was still an opponent. They were either killed or captured alive.

Zhang Fei saw someone swaying in the water, and when he saw it, hey, an old acquaintance.

"I said Miaocai, you can't swim, are you?"

"Puff~puff~~"

"Do you want me to save you? You can say something nice, and I will save you if you say something nice!"

"roll!!"

"Ah, I can't beat you and me to death! Do you scream? Do you scream!" Zhang Fei turned the steel spear and knocked Xiahou Yuan's helmet with the handle of the spear. Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he drank several more mouthfuls of water and fainted.

Xiahou Yuan was wearing armor and was already very powerful to be able to slap for a few times. After Zhang Fei made such a fuss, he began to sink into the bottom. When Zhang Fei saw Xiahou Yuan no longer up, his face turned dark and he cursed and asked someone to go down to catch people. If such an important character dies like this, it would be too unworthy.

Seeing this, Xu Zhu, who was on the other side, jumped out of the camp with Cao Cao on his back, swam past Sishui, grabbed a war horse, and fled back to the military camp.

In this battle, Cao Cao suffered heavy losses. His half-brother Bao Xin disappeared directly, and 90% of them were buried in the belly of a fish. Xiahou Yuan was captured by Zhang Fei, and Xi Zhong was rescued by Cao Ren. Thousands of soldiers were lost. These were elite soldiers who could fight tough battles. Cao Cao would feel distressed for a long time to lose, not to mention that there were thousands of them all at once.

Such a crushing defeat left Cao Cao no longer morale or force to continue his attack.

Lu Zhi was unwilling to fight Cao Cao to the end. In his heart, it was a serious matter to unite the princes to save the emperor. Now he was just making a fuss, so he asked Liu Bei to write a letter to Cao Cao and persuade Cao Cao to stop the army. Cao Cao had no choice but to agree. However, when he saw Xiahou Yuan, who was covered in a turtle by Zhang Fei, Cao Cao was furious and held a grudge in his heart. He vowed to return to Yanzhou to reorganize and attack Xuzhou again.

In the Battle of Pengcheng in history, because the Xuzhou army had no talent as a general, Cao Cao killed the Si River and cut off the current. This time, Cao Cao was beaten to lose his troops and generals. Lu Zhi used his own strategy to tell the world again that he had not completely withdrawn from the stage of the Han Dynasty.

As the schools gathered from all walks of life, a feast was naturally inevitable.

At the feast, each party exchanged and exchanged views, connecting each other's feelings.

"Zilong made great contributions this time, and Zhang He is the talent that Ming Gong has always wanted." Tian Kai congratulated Zhao Yun in a compliment.

"Captain Tian has been too rewarded, this is all his duty." Zhao Yun raised his glass humbly and said.

"Hey, if Zilong hadn't been here this time, my old Huang Zhong would have lost his life. I won't say anything, come and have a drink!"

"Drink and drink!"

The atmosphere here is high, and Lin Hai on the other side is whispering to comfort Guo Jin.

"It's okay, Qingcheng said that Brother Ma would punish him at most."

Guo Jin shook his head. He thought more than Lin Hai. He should have been in Red Star Camp, but this time he specially called him here, probably not just because of Guo Yin's affairs.

He had a premonition that the Zhenbei Army was going to attack Youzhou.

"General Zhenbei is here!!"

With a shout, everyone stopped the noise, put down the wine and meat, and stood up to welcome Ma Qiang's arrival.

Ma Qiang took Jia Xu and Guo Jia in together, clasped his fists and apologized, "I just came from Xuzhou. I'm late."

"Ming Gong, but Cao Cao and Tao Qian decided to win or lose?" Huang Zhong asked.

He has the highest military status and joined the Military Commission, and is the most qualified person to ask questions.

"Yes, beyond our expectations, Cao Cao was defeated by Sishui, Xiahou Yuan was captured by Zhang Fei, and Bao Xin died in battle. It is said that Xi Zhong was also sick. Cao Cao returned in this battle, but Duke Lu did not pursue him and released Xiahou Yuan back. It seems that the two sides are going to have a peace talk."

Ma Qiang has intelligence stations in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, but the information is very well-informed.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to be defeated. Lu Gong Baodao is not old."

"That guy Zhang Fei was in a big light this time, which reminded me of the scene of fighting Zhang Jiao with him."

The generals were talking, and Ma Qiang sat in the front seat and waved, "Continue singing and dancing, we will not talk about state affairs tonight, we will only talk about the wind and moon!"

The generals cheered in unison because of the tight food in Jizhou, making wine was strictly controlled. People only allowed to brew fruit wine. They had not drunk this kind of fun for a long time.

***Drinking, the next day, the generals came to the General's Mansion in Zhenbei for a meeting. When they entered the venue, the generals found that the county magistrates from all over the country had also come.

"Strange, isn't this a meeting specially for us?" Wang Weng saw Wang Bao and hurriedly waved his hand to say hello.

"Ming Gong probably has any new ideas. Let's talk about it later when you go in." Huang Zhong actually knew something, but he didn't say it.

In the venue, Ma Qiang was already sitting in the main seat, and everyone who entered the Military Commission was also sitting on the rostrum, while the generals were sitting below. There were also officials from the General's Mansion in Zhenbei. As for the local county magistrates, they were still waiting outside and did not come in.

Ma Qiang first asked Guo Jia to briefly explain the results of this battle, and then began to read the commendation order.

"In this war, the generals made great contributions. After discussion by the Military Commission, it was decided to commend the following generals above the regiment. As for the soldiers below the regiment, each department will go back to read it out by itself.

Zhao Yun captured Zhang He alive and made contributions to saving friendly troops in difficulties. He was appointed as the Captain of Beiwei and rewarded one million yuan!

Sima Ju, who attacked Wen Chou's troops, defeated him and was appointed as the Lishi Captain, and rewarded him with a reward of 500,000 yuan!

....”

After reading the reward, Ma Qiang looked at the many generals below and said, "If you have merits, you should be rewarded, and if you have been punished, you will actually be disobeyed in this battle and go to war without authorization, which almost led to serious consequences. Take me up!"

Guo Yin, wearing prison uniform and shackles, was taken up. When Guo Jin saw his brother's appearance, he knew that he had suffered a lot in prison, and at least he would not eat well. His body size had lost no less than twenty kilograms.

Guo Ping, however, did not look straight, as if he was not his son below.
