Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, Cheng Yu's sinister look only flashed by for a moment, and then he returned to his solemn and gentlemanly demeanor. He began to inspect the excavation conditions in various places and urged his fellow villagers to speed up the excavation.

Under Cheng Yu's encouragement and the big promises he made from time to time, the fellow villagers worked more and more enthusiastically, trying to show their initiative, hoping to leave some impression in Cheng Yu's eyes and be rewarded with some wealth.

……

However, what Cheng Yu didn't know was that while he was urging his fellow villagers to speed up the digging of the river embankment, there was a bush about two miles away from him.

A man wearing linen clothes but with muscular body that could not hide his body, looked at the Yellow River embankment that was being dug up, and he felt cold and trembling all over.

"How dare you do this?! How dare you do this?!"

The man muttered, his eyes faintly red and angry.

If this man had not heard beforehand that the situation in Qingzhou had changed and the administration had become much more peaceful,

He then traveled thousands of miles from Liaodong back to Qingzhou. When crossing the Yellow River on the way, he heard from the boatman that there seemed to be a lot of construction going on here. Curious, he came to investigate.

Along the way, the man bypassed many secret sentries posted around the area, but in the end he never expected to see such a scene.

As a native of Qingzhou, how could this man not understand what the Yellow River bursting its dike meant.

Even though the water level of the Yellow River is not high now, once it breaks its banks it will surely submerge most of the country of Jinan.

Moreover, the impact of the Yellow River bursting its banks is far more than that. The countless silt brought by the surging Yellow River is likely to accumulate and block the Jishui River that runs through the entire Qingzhou.

If not handled in time, the entire Qingzhou will be destroyed.

At that time, the Jishui River will be cut off at Jinan State, the upper reaches will inevitably continue to be flooded, and the lower reaches will fall into severe drought.

At this moment, the joints of the man's palms holding the sword at his waist turned visibly white, and he wished he could rush forward alone to stop it all.

But the man knew that if he acted bravely for a moment, not only would he lose his life, but he would also lose the only hope of stopping them.

Immediately, the man looked deeply at the "Cao" flag planted in the distance and spoke harshly.

"As long as I am here, I will kill Cao the thief sooner or later!"

Immediately, the man pounded the ground hard, retreated carefully, and once again avoided the secret sentries stationed on the periphery.

After leaving the range of the secret sentry, the man hurriedly retrieved the good horse tied in a remote place, and then galloped all the way south.

At this moment, the man's chest was burning with anger, but his mind was unusually clear.

If you want to stop the Yellow River from bursting its banks, one person's own strength is far from enough. At least hundreds of young and strong men with weapons will be needed to help.

Although Jinan State is now a county under the rule of Cao Cao, the fact that Cao Cao sent people to dig up the Yellow River and flood Jinan State would certainly not be publicized, and would even be kept strictly secret within the borders of Jinan State.

Otherwise, the people of Jinan would rise up in rebellion and fight Cao Cao to the death.

Therefore, the man's idea was very simple, which was to find the nearest city nearby and report the matter to the county magistrate.

If the county magistrate hesitates, he will be beheaded immediately and his head will be displayed to the people to inform them that Cao is preparing to break the dike of the Yellow River.

As long as they could open the armory and get help from hundreds of young and strong men, the man believed he could prevent the Yellow River embankment from being dug up.

However, the man was not from Jinan and was not familiar with the terrain of Jinan. He ran for more than two hours but still could not find the surrounding cities.

This made the man even more anxious and uneasy. He even wanted to ask for directions, but he didn't meet any common people on the way.

"Is it because God is not on my side? When did Jinan become so sparsely populated?"

The man frowned and looked around, trying to find the path to the nearest city, when he suddenly heard a series of hurried horse hoof sounds.

Judging from the sound of horse hooves, there were about ten riders.

This made the man feel nervous.

"Could it be Cao's army?"

However, the man's thoughts moved, and he realized that this might be an opportunity. As long as he captured a few Cao soldiers alive, would he still be afraid of not being able to find out the location of the surrounding cities?
Immediately, the man turned his horse and rushed towards the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.

If there were only a dozen riders, the men, relying on their bravery, could easily defeat them even without armor to protect themselves.

……

Sun Ce, who had nothing to do in the army, was leading more than a dozen trusted cavalrymen to explore the way ahead.

Even though Sun Ce was reprimanded many times by Li Ji for this bad habit, Zhou Yu was obviously unable to control Sun Ce, so he could only settle for the second best and let Sun Ce bring two of his family generals, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, to guard him on both sides.

Although Sun Ce, who had already grown up, secretly disagreed with this and believed that his martial arts were much better than Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, he did not reject Zhou Yu's good intentions.

However, Sun Ce led more than ten light cavalrymen and galloped all the way, and unknowingly left the army behind him a considerable distance.

It was not until Cheng Pu could not help but remind him that Sun Ce stopped.

Sun Ce said in a somewhat disappointed tone, "You are worrying too much, this is a plain, there is no place to hide soldiers and set up an ambush? Even if it is a little far from the main army, it will not be a problem."

"My lord, you must not be so careless. The matter of the former lord is still before us, so we should be careful."

As soon as Cheng Pu finished speaking, Sun Ce, who had stopped, suddenly heard the sound of a lone horse's hooves approaching.

This made Sun Ce, who originally wanted to refute Cheng Pu, feel somewhat embarrassed.

However, when Sun Ce saw that the man was dressed in cloth, he became alert and was about to ask a question when the other party shouted, holding a ferocious short spear in each hand.

"Thief, come and get your life!"

"How brave!"

Before Sun Ce could respond, Huang Gai, who was following beside him, became furious and shouted.

"Don't be so rude, idiot! Watch out for the whip!"

Immediately, Huang Gai slapped the warhorse under his crotch, rushed towards the man with a steel whip in his hand, and fought with the man.

However, what shocked both Sun Ce and Cheng Pu was that despite Huang Gai's bravery, he fell into a disadvantage after less than ten rounds of fighting.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you!"

Cheng Pu shouted angrily, and rushed forward with his Iron-Backed Snake Spear, joining forces with Huang Gai to attack the man in plain clothes.

However, even though Cheng Pu and Huang Gai had fought side by side for many years, they had a great understanding of each other.

However, even though the two of them used all their strength together, they not only failed to defeat the man, but after fighting for more than thirty rounds, they fell into a disadvantage again.

After another ten rounds, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were suppressed and in a miserable state under the fierce attack of the man who was wielding the double halberds with great force.

"Come die!"

The man's short spear shook, knocking away the iron-backed snake spear that was gradually losing its power, and stabbed it straight into Cheng Pu's throat.

"Demou!"

Huang Gai let out a heart-wrenching cry of grief.

Just as the short spear was about to take Cheng Pu's life, an ancient ingot knife chopped down from the side and knocked the short spear away.

Sun Ce's move shocked and feared the men, and also led to a brief truce between the two sides.

Sun Ce, who was delighted to see the prey, laughed loudly and said aloud.

"That's a good trick, tell me your name!"

"Thieves, the one who wants to take your lives today is Taishi Ci of Donglai."

Taishi Ci shouted angrily and attacked Sun Ce again. (End of this chapter)
