After Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Liu Qi also withdrew his troops and returned to the camp.
Xiahou Dun roared and cursed in the camp until his voice became hoarse, and he was ready to commit suicide just like Cao Ren.
Liu Qi asked Zhang Fei to persuade him. After all, he was the son-in-law of the Xiahou family. His relatives said that it would be easier to talk to him.
When it got dark, Xiahou Dun's yelling and cursing finally stopped, and Zhang Fei walked out of the tent with a dark face and sighed.
Gan Ning was coming back from dinner and said with a smile: "Yide persuaded Xiahou Dun, it is another great achievement. Why are you sighing?"
Zhang Fei said displeased: "I was forced to call my father-in-law a few times, which is bad luck!"
Gan Ning laughed and said, "Who are you trying to rob? Are you going to rob a girl from the Xiahou family?"
Zhang Fei sighed: "When I went out of the city, I saw the woman collecting firewood and was forced by thieves. I rescued her and returned to the city. Seeing that she was still young and silent, I treated her like a daughter. Who knew..."
Having said this, Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly. After Xia Houjuan grew up and the two got married, they revealed their identities. On the wedding night, Zhang Fei was so shocked that he couldn't recover all night.
Originally thought that he was a child from a poor family, who would have thought that the children of the Xiahou family would cut firewood?
After Xia Houjuan was rescued, she admired Zhang Fei's heroism and decided to pledge herself to him, hiding her identity all the time.
Gan Ning smiled and said: "It's rare for a sister-in-law to be infatuated. Gan has been in the world for more than ten years, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and has also saved many women, children and children, but he has never met such a beautiful woman. He is so beautiful and blessed!"
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "It was indeed a good relationship before, and I, Lao Zhang, also feel very lucky, but I and Cao Cao are incompatible, and we have a bad relationship again."
Gan Ning patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder: "Everything has its own destiny. This matter may not be without a turn. Let everything take its course!"
While the two were chatting, the soldiers summoned Liu Qi to summon Gan Ning, and they came to the Chinese army's tent together.
Zhang Fei reported that Xiahou Dun had temporarily settled down and waited for Cao Cao's reply. Liu Qi ordered his men to send him to Wancheng overnight and guard him with Cao Ren.
He also ordered Gan Ning: "Cao's army intercepted the Baihe River upstream and diverted it to the foot of Bowang Slope. General Gan led his men and horses to protect the river embankment. If Cao's army comes to destroy it, repel it."
"Yes..." Gan Ning was about to accept the order when he suddenly felt something was wrong, "General, are you going against what you said?"
"How can there be any room for error in a major military matter?" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "After midnight tonight, there will be a heavy rain."
"That's it!" Gan Ning suddenly realized and laughed: "Cao's army dug the river channel and flooded the river. Didn't he reap the consequences? The turtle son turned into a fish and shrimp tonight."
Zhang Fei said doubtfully: "I only saw the wind blowing, but I didn't hear the thunder. I'm afraid it may not rain."
Zhuge Liang just warned: "General Gan, remember to ask the soldiers to wear hats and raincoats."
Gan Ning took the order and left. Zhang Fei was doubtful, so he also said goodbye and went back to rest. He would naturally find out when he patrolled the camp in the middle of the night.
In the upper reaches of the Baihe River, after Cao Jun blocked the river, Han Hao went back to resume his duties. Zhai Yuan led the troops to garrison, and lit torches on the bank to prevent enemy troops from destroying it.
In the middle of the night, the night wind howled, and everyone hid in a pit to avoid the wind. Suddenly, the defenders came to report that a group of people came from the other side and lit a bonfire on the hillside. I don't know what their intention was.
Zhai Yuan hurriedly led his troops to the embankment and formed a defensive formation. However, he saw one of the leaders walking a stone's throw away, waving and shouting: "Don't get me wrong, we are also here to protect the embankment."
"Protect?" Zhai Yuan was startled and looked around: "Did I hear correctly?"
Seeing that Cao Jun was confused, Gan Ning smiled secretly in his heart and told the soldiers behind him: "My sons, put the word 'protect' on my banner."
Jin Fanjun also found this move very funny. Several people shouted, found branches and thatch, and nailed the word "protect" on the wooden board. The "protect" was too cumbersome, so they had to give up.
"Everyone, don't do anything!" Gan Ning ordered his men to come forward with a wooden board and laughed: "General Liu is ordering people to catch fish downstream. He ordered me to guard the river embankment. When the fish soup is delivered tomorrow, my brothers will have a cup. soup."
"Damn it, Liu Qi is really good at taking advantage!" Zhai Yuan cursed.
Seeing that they didn't bring a shovel, I was convinced. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was at a disadvantage. I said loudly: "I only eat fish heads because I am afraid that the fish bones will get stuck."
Gan Ning laughed and said, "Don't worry, not only the fish heads, but also the other heads will be left to you."
"Damn it, keep it for yourself!" Zhai Yuan was furious, and both parties laughed and cursed on the shore.
After midnight, Gan Ning ordered his soldiers to put on raincoats. Zhai Yuan laughed and said, "You guys are so stupid. How can the raincoats keep out the wind?"
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Of course the raincoats are used to protect you from the rain. I have a few left. Do you want them?"
"How can it rain in this weather?" Zhai Yuan opened his hands and laughed: "It's unnecessary."
Cao Jun also burst into laughter. He had long heard that the southerners were weak, and it was true. He was pointing and laughing on the river embankment.
When Gan Ning and others were dressed, suddenly raindrops fell from the sky, and Cao Jun was surprised.
Gan Ning held up a raincoat and shouted loudly: "Brother, it's not too late to wear it now!"
Zhai Yuan sneered and said: "We followed the Prime Minister in the north and south and went through hardships. We are not as squeamish as you and other southerners. Why should we be afraid of a little wind and rain?"
Before he finished speaking, the rain suddenly increased. The rainstorm came extremely suddenly, mixed with strong winds. The torches on the shore had long been extinguished, and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.
"Brother, brother, are you still there?" Zhai Yuan shouted loudly, but there was no response.
The embankment was empty and there was nowhere to take shelter from the rain. Cao Jun was in chaos. Everything was dark in front of him, and there was only the sound of wind and rain between the sky and the earth.
Zhai Yuan squatted on the embankment, soaked to the skin, his armor became heavier and heavier, and the rain hit his face, making him unable to open his eyes.
Thinking that even if those people came to destroy the river bank at this time, it would be too late, so he got up and gave the order to retreat and go to the camp to take shelter from the rain.
The soldiers gave orders one after another and walked and crawled in the black muddy water. They fell down countless times. Some people rolled down the embankment in the dark night, and their screams were horrifying.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally climbed to the river bank. A soldier found Zhai Yuan in the mud and told Prime Minister Cao to quickly dig up the embankment and dredge the Baihe River.
Zhai Yuan listened several times before he heard it clearly, and couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck grandma, you're a bear!"
After hard digging for a day and a night, more than a dozen people were washed downstream and their lives were unknown. They finally blocked the river, and now they have to dig open again. Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting?
Not only Zhai Yuan, but also Cao Jun also cursed Cao Cao's eighteenth generation ancestors in their hearts, and they didn't know if Cao Cao could find out who his ancestors were!
At this time, the rain has not stopped, and the sound of the waves is getting louder and louder. It is difficult to distinguish the direction in the darkness. If the river embankment is dug, no one will survive.
Zhai Yuan was so frightened that he didn't even dare to stay in the main camp. He ordered his soldiers to retreat along the river bank, waiting for the mountain torrents to pour down and the river embankments would naturally collapse.
Gan Ning sent people to slander Cao Cao and climbed up the embankment to find out that Cao Jun had retreated overnight. He also led his troops back to the camp to recover.
Liu Qi had already gone to bed, and Zhuge Liang personally went to the river to check. Seeing that the Baihe River had not risen, he felt relieved and prepared to go back to his tent to rest.
Zhang Fei happened to be returning from a tour of the camp and wondered: "There is no thunder in the summer. How could the military advisor expect such heavy rain in the middle of the night?"
Zhuge Liang stood at the gate of the camp, a cold wind blew, his robes fluttered, and he said calmly: "A general who does not understand astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and can't control the military force is a mediocre person!"
Zhang Fei was startled, Zhuge Liang had drifted away, and when he turned around, he saw Gan Ning looking at him with a half-smile.
The two of them pointed at each other at the same time and said in unison: "I'm talking about you!"
