Not long after Yu Jin stationed the Wei army at Hekou River, it rained continuously for days. The governor Cheng He went to find Yu Jin and said: "The army is stationed at the mouth of the river. The terrain is very low. Although there are some hills, it is far away from our camp. Now it is raining continuously in autumn. The climate is humid and the soldiers are having a hard time. Some people report that Jingzhou soldiers and horses have moved to the highlands and have prepared many ships near the Han River. If the river rises, our army will be in danger. You should have planned it earlier." Yu Jin thought that he was Pound's lobbyist to persuade him to attack the Jingzhou Army, so he scolded: "You are trying to deceive my military morale! If you say more, I will kill you immediately! "
He went to offer his opinion with good intentions, but was humiliated. Cheng He felt bored, so he went to Pound and explained the matter.
Pang De said: "Actually, what you said makes sense. General Yu Jin refuses to move his troops. I will move to another place by myself tomorrow."
After the discussion, it was stormy and stormy that night. Pang De sat down in the camp when he suddenly heard thousands of horses galloping and the earth shaking. Pound was very surprised and hurriedly walked out of the camp. When he looked, he found that there were floods in all directions. Rushing over, the seven armies were rushing around, and there were countless people drifting with the tide. The water in the flat land suddenly rose a lot. Yu Jin and Pang De took the generals and rushed towards the hill, preparing to avoid the water.
At daybreak, Guan Yu and other generals arrived in big ships with flags and banners waving loudly. Yu Jin saw that there was no way out on all sides and there were only fifty or sixty people on the left and right. Knowing that they could not escape, he shouted that he was willing to surrender.
Guan Yu asked him to take off his armor, sent soldiers to catch him, put him into the boat, and then went to capture Pang De. At that time, Pang De still had Cheng He, and there were already 500 soldiers without equipment, standing on the embankment.
Seeing Guan Yu coming, Pang De showed no fear at all and came to fight. Guan Yu ordered the ships to surround them, and the sergeants fired arrows together, killing most of the Wei army.
Dong Heng and Dong Chao felt that the situation was very critical, so they said to Pang De: "Most of the soldiers were killed or injured, and there are no roads on all sides. It is better to surrender first."
Pang De was very angry and said: "I have been favored by King Wei, how could I surrender to others?" So he killed Dong Heng and Dong Chao on the spot, and said sternly: "If there are any more people who say surrender, Take these two as an example!" Everyone was very frightened when they saw it, so they rushed forward to meet the enemy and fought until noon, their strength doubled.
Guan Yu urged the ships on all sides to attack together, with more bows and arrows. Pang De sent soldiers to fight with short soldiers. Looking back at Cheng He, he said: "I heard that brave soldiers are not afraid of death, and strong men survive without destroying their reputation. Today It's my day of death, you can fight to the death!" Cheng He nodded and rushed to the front, and was shot into the water by Guan Yu's bow and arrow. The other soldiers came forward to surrender, and only Pang De was fighting to the death. He stared at a small boat, which happened to have a dozen soldiers on it. When it was nearby, Pound jumped up with a knife, got on the boat, and immediately killed the soldiers on the boat. The rest of the soldiers jumped into the water to escape. . So Pang De held the knife in one hand and rowed the boat in the other, preparing to walk towards Fancheng.
Just in the upstream water, a general arrived on a large raft and collided with the boat, knocking Pound into the water. The officer on the boat jumped into the water and captured Pound alive. Everyone saw that the person who captured Pang De was Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang knew about the properties of water and lived in Jingzhou for several years. He became more familiar with the properties of water, so he captured Pang De alive.
The seven teams led by Yu Jin all died in the water. The other people who knew how to swim knew that there was no way out and all surrendered.
Guan Yu led his soldiers back from victory and sat in the camp. The swordsman and axe-wielding Yu Jin was escorted over. Yu Jin knelt on the ground and begged for his life. Guan Yu asked, "How are you going to resist me?"
Yu Jin said: "I have also received an order. I have no choice but to show mercy. I hope you can show mercy and swear to retaliate with death!"
Guan Yu said with a smile: "If I kill you, it will be like killing a dog. It is an insult to the sword and axe!" So he sent someone to escort him to Jingzhou Prison to wait, and said: "Let's take him away first and see what my elder brother will do!"
The crowd brought Pang De up again. Pang De frowned and refused to kneel down. Guan Yu said: "Now your brother is in Hanzhong, and your former master Ma Chao also became a general in Shu. Why didn't you do it earlier?" What about surrender?”
I originally thought that Pang De would abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, but he didn't expect that he would get angry and say: "Even if I die by your sword, how can I surrender to you?" Then he continued to curse, which became more and more unpleasant. Guan Yu was very angry and asked the sword and axe-hand to push him out and behead him. , Pound was tortured by his neck.
Guan Yu himself was extremely righteous, and despite Pang De's opposition, he still sympathized with his loyalty and buried him properly. After handling these matters, Guan Yu returned to the warship and continued to attack Fancheng with other soldiers.
Around Fancheng, there were big waves every day, and the water was very strong. The city walls gradually collapsed. Men and women brought bricks and tiles, but they couldn't block it. Cao Jun and other generals were all discouraged and hurriedly came to tell Cao Ren: "The situation is now very critical. , you can leave by boat before the enemy comes. Although you have lost the city, at least you are still alive."
Cao Ren nodded and prepared to do so. Man Chong advised him: "No, how can the mountains and rivers last long? They will retreat in a short time. Although Guan Yu did not attack the city, he has sent others to Jiaxia. The reason why he did not dare to attack easily was because he considered the attack from behind. If the city is abandoned now, then the land south of the Yellow River is no longer the country's land. I hope the general can guard this city as a guarantee."
Cao Ren cupped his hands and thanked him: "If it weren't for your advice, I would have missed this important event!" After saying that, he rode a white horse to the city wall, gathered everyone, and swore: "We have been ordered by King Wei to protect this city. This city, if anyone gives up, be beheaded immediately!"
Everyone supported: "We are willing to defend to the death!"
Cao Ren was very happy, so he added hundreds of archers to the city wall. The military counselors carried out protection every night and did not dare to slack off. Residents, old and young, went to carry soil to fill some flooded places. It didn't take long for the fruit to come out. Withdrew.
After Guan Yu captured Wei Yujin, he was so powerful that everyone else was very scared. Suddenly his second son Guan Xing came to the camp to visit his relatives. Guan Yu sent various officials to write documents and go to Chengdu to see the King of Hanzhong to ask for promotion. , Guan Xing said goodbye to his father and walked towards Chengdu.
Guan Yu divided half of his troops and went straight to Jixia. He led his troops to attack Fancheng from all sides. When Guan Yu arrived at the north gate, he immediately raised his whip, pointed at the city wall, and said: "You rats, why don't you surrender quickly? When are you ready to wait?”
