Liu Qi's voice was not high-pitched, but extremely firm.

His clear words and powerful words represented his extraordinary determination in this matter.

Before anyone else could say anything, Liu Bei knelt down on the spot, raised his hands to Liu Qi and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is indeed a worthy and holy Lord! I am willing to sacrifice my life for Your Majesty, and I will work for Your Majesty in this life.

Even if you die, you will never give up!"

Pang Tong sighed softly and knelt down: "Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

"Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

"..."

One voice after another sounded in the commander's tent, and everyone present knelt down to express their approval of Liu Qi's judgment.

Of course, Liu Qi didn't know whether they agreed with Liu Qi's decision or not, but he knew in his heart that this idea was absolutely correct.

He must take responsibility for himself.

Liu Qi cannot decide where his upper limit is, but he must decide his lower limit.

He would never do anything so violent as to bring disaster to thousands of miles.

Liu Qi looked around at everyone and finally laid his eyes on Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, you haven't spoken. What do you think now?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I am shocked by your majesty's kindness. I am so lucky to meet a sage master at such a young age. I have no regrets in this life."

Liu Qi was amused by his remarks and expression: "I'm asking you what you think about the war, not what you think about me."

Zhuge Liang bowed again: "At this moment, I am frightened by your majesty's wisdom. My heart is ups and downs. I really have no other thoughts for the time being. Please forgive me."

Liu Qi smiled lightly when he heard this and didn't say much.

This Zhuge Liang, at a young age, has already mastered the ways of the court.

He understands well the principle of killing the first bird with a gun, admonishing when it is time to give advice, and being humble when it is time to be humble.

Liu Qi looked at Pang Tong and Sima Yi: "My dear friends, my words just now are not directed at you. Although I have not adopted your advice, I see all of your loyalty and advice.

There is still a need for more remonstrances, so I should follow the advice and never stop myself from giving direct advice."

Pang Tong said: "I also know that the strategy of digging embankments is too vicious. Your Majesty does not use this strategy. It is in line with common sense. I have no complaints, but I feel a little relieved."

Sima Yi then said: "Your Majesty, our army will not dig a dike, but it is difficult to say whether the northern thieves will do this... The Hongchi Slope occupies a very large area, surrounded by dams on two sides, and the outlet is in the north, but there are two sides on the east and west sides.

It can be dug. Once the northern bandits raise the dike in the west and dig out the dam and flood us, the three armies may be in danger of being overrun. Your Majesty needs to make an early decision."

"Zhongda's words make sense!" Liu Qi pointed at Sima Yi: "You are indeed thoughtful. We don't use this method, but there is no guarantee that Cao Ren and Cheng Yu will not use it. We need to be careful!"

Liu Bei stood up and said: "I am willing to lead the troops to strictly guard against the embankments!"

Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei seriously and said: "Uncle Huang is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How to use troops, how to arrange formations, and how to defend are all left to me. Don't let me down!"

Liu Bei raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the world. If I am not doing it for myself, I am doing it for Your Majesty and for the thousands of people in Runan. I will never allow anything to go wrong on Hongchipo!"

…

For several days, the rain showed no sign of stopping and was still very strong. There was mud soaked by rain everywhere.

Cao Ren, who had not taken any military action in the previous games, finally started to take action.

He commanded his lieutenants Bian Xi, Zheng Ke, and Niu Jin, who had just been promoted to Sima of another department, to lead his troops straight to Hongjie Slope, pinpoint the key points, and dig embankments to flood the Confederate army.

A group of Northern soldiers, wearing raincoats, armed with weapons and digging tools, quietly lurked to Hongxi Slope under the cover of night.

"Go! Dig the embankment!"

Following Niu Jin's shout, more than a thousand soldiers digging the embankment swarmed up and began to pound on the embankment.

Upstream, Cao Ren personally led his troops to patrol around to prevent anyone from approaching and interfering.

However, Cao's army's actions could not be concealed from the patrolling Han army not far away.

The scouts who investigated immediately reported Cao Jun's eastward direction to Liu Bei.

Yes, Liu Bei, as the commander-in-chief this time, also came to patrol the embankment himself.

When he heard the news, Liu Bei was angry.

He really could not have imagined that Cao Ren and Cheng Yu would be so inhumane and actually carry out this method of harming the common people.

Liu Bei immediately pulled out the double swords from his waist and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to guard the embankment... Xu Sima and Wang Sima each led two groups of infantry to repair the embankment. As for the battle, it is up to Bei and

Generals, let the captain do it, you two don’t need to interfere!”

Next to Liu Bei, Xu Chu hurriedly said: "General Zuo is the commander-in-chief, why do you need to go to the front line to defend the enemy with swords and swords? We can kill the enemy when we go there!"

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Your Majesty did not use the method of digging a dike because of my general's advice. If anything goes wrong today, it will not only be your Majesty who will be sorry, but also the thousands of people of the Han Dynasty..."

…In today’s battle, I must be on the front line in person. If I cannot kill the traitors, I will throw myself into the water and die! I will never survive!”

Xu Chu and Dian Wei stood behind Liu Bei and were greatly shocked when they heard this.

"The general is so loyal to the great man and works so hard for your majesty. We will do our best to help the general!"

"Come on!"

…

Niu Jin and others were digging on the embankment when they suddenly heard a thundering sound in the distance.

The sound moved from near to far, as if thousands of horses were galloping towards Cao's army. By the time Cao's army reacted, the Confederate soldiers and horses had already arrived at the embankment.

Without much command at all, the soldiers of the Confederate Army braved the heavy rain and launched a desperate attack on the Northern Army who were digging on the embankment.

It was a matter of life and death for them. At this moment, no one of the soldiers of the Confederate army flinched. They all rushed upwards regardless of their own lives.

The gap on the embankment was not wide enough to accommodate more soldiers. As for the Southern Army, those who climbed up according to Liu Bei's orders were all brave and courageous elite soldiers.

The remaining soldiers were fighting against the Northern Army soldiers responsible for guerrilla warfare below.

Xu Chu was the first to climb up the embankment. The blade in his hand was waving back and forth. Every time the sword passed by, someone's bones would be broken and tendons would be broken, and blood would flow everywhere.

Although the sky was gloomy and it was difficult to see how much blood the water in the dam was dyed red, the pungent smell of blood filled the air. Even though it was raining continuously, the unpleasant smell could not be covered up.

Soon Xu Chu met Zheng Ke who was in charge of directing the soldiers to dig the embankment on the embankment.

When the two met, Xu Chu rushed forward without saying a word and slashed his head with a knife. He immediately saw Zheng Ke's heavenly spirit. Then without waiting for the other party to shout, he threw Zheng Ke's body to the embankment with a powerful swing.

among.

It was at this time that Cao Ren personally led his troops to the embankment.

Seeing the Confederate army on the embankment in the distance forcing the soldiers in the engine room into the water, Cao Ren couldn't help but become furious.
