Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The surging waters of the Yellow River were like a wild beast out of a cage, roaring and rushing out in front of Cheng Yu.

The power of nature made Cheng Yu and his three hundred trusted men who served as guards and supervisors turn pale.

Many Dong'a fellow villagers who continued to dig the river embankment in the dark under the urging of Cheng Yu disappeared almost instantly in the rolling water of the Yellow River.

People seem so insignificant at this moment.

After Cheng Yu's subconscious panic passed, he was replaced by a slow sense of satisfaction, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Letting those who insulted and slandered me in the past die now would be a relief for them."

If Cheng Yu had not been short of labor to dig the Yellow River, he would have planned to make all his Dong'a fellow villagers into jerky to let them fully experience the feeling of despair and fear.

"General, the gap in the Yellow River is still widening. This place is still too dangerous."

A trusted tomb raider standing behind Cheng Yu reminded him in a low voice.

Cao Cao now has a very limited number of troops under his command, and all Cheng Yu can use are his own group of tomb-raiding lieutenants.

Moreover, the lives and fortunes of these "Mojin Xiaolie" were all tied to the decisions of Cao Cao and Cheng Yu. Only with the supervision of these Mojin Xiaolie could Cheng Yu ensure that the matter of digging up the Yellow River would not be leaked.

At the reminder of his confidant, Cheng Yu looked up at the gap...

It was dim at night and I couldn't see clearly.

Cheng Yu simply took a torch and threw it far away in the direction of the gap, taking advantage of the momentary light.

Cheng Yu's expression changed slightly as he discovered that the gap was expanding a little faster than he had imagined.

"Go back!"

Realizing that the position he was standing in at the moment might not be safe, Cheng Yu quickly lifted up his robe and wanted to retreat some distance to the side.

However, just when Cheng Yu had taken a few hundred steps, a series of figures shrouded in the night suddenly appeared from the front, blocking Cheng Yu's way.

Cheng Yu was slightly startled and asked loudly.

"Who is coming?"

Suddenly, the Cao army behind Cheng Yu, who were actually "tomb robbers", drew their weapons and became alert.

However, these "tomb robbers" are just show-offs with no appearance of being powerful. They have never experienced fighting on the battlefield. The most they can do is to scare civilians with their armor and weapons.

Facing the alert Cao army, Sun Ce, who was soaked all over, walked forward step by step, his eyes seemed to be devouring people.

Faced with the sudden flood, fortunately Taishi Ci still remembered the location of the surrounding highlands in a hurry.

But even though Sun Ce led his cavalry to flee for their lives, most of the cavalry still could not escape the rolling flood.

Now, following Sun Ce, apart from Taishi Ci and Huang Gai, there were only a little over a hundred cavalrymen.

Cheng Yu, who knew nothing about this, lit torches at night, which undoubtedly informed Sun Ce of his location.

It was difficult for the war horses to climb up the river bank, so Sun Ce led more than a hundred remaining soldiers on foot to Cheng Yu.

When Sun Ce's face gradually became clear under the light of the torch, Cheng Yu's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Why is Sun Ce here?"

"Since you know my name, why don't you just die?"

Sun Ce roared loudly, even drowning out the sound of the rushing river not far away, and rushed towards Cheng Yu with a knife in hand.

Cheng Yu's face turned pale when he saw this. Even though Cheng Yu, a scholar, practiced sword skills all the time, he had a certain chance of winning even against three or five soldiers.

But in front of Sun Ce, Cheng Yu's martial arts skills were undoubtedly useless.

"Quick, stop this guy!"

Cheng Yu hurriedly commanded his trusted aides to move forward, while he drew his sword and pretended to charge, but he quietly retreated, trying to find an opportunity to escape under the cover of night.

However, Sun Ce stared at Cheng Yu and rushed straight towards him. The "tomb robbers" who blocked his way were no match for him at all.

Especially when Taishi Ci, Huang Gai and more than a hundred elite soldiers behind Sun Ce also joined the battle, it became an almost one-sided massacre.

The morale of the "tomb robbers", who were not good at fighting, collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. They watched helplessly as more than 20% of their colleagues fell to the ground motionless in an instant, and most of them were so scared that they surrendered on the spot.

Cheng Yu, who retreated to the back and tried to escape into the night, was also kicked to the ground by Sun Ce who rushed forward with big strides.

This angry kick seemed to have almost made Cheng Yu faint on the spot, and he felt a faint pain in his internal organs.

"It must be you, a bastard, who personally directed the digging of the Yellow River!"

Although Sun Ce did not recognize Cheng Yu, it did not affect his judgment at all that this man in an official robe must be the one who commanded the digging of the Yellow River.

Immediately, Sun Ce, with his hair standing on end with rage, stepped on the back of Cheng Yu, who was lying on the ground, and stomped on him like a dead dog, and raised his knife to chop off Cheng Yu's head.

At the moment when the ancient ingot knife fell, a short spear blocked the blade from the side, and Taishi Ci urged urgently.

"General Bofu, don't harm his life!"

Sun Ce's eyes widened with anger and he roared.

"If we don't kill this kind of bastard, it will not be enough to appease the people's anger and will not satisfy my wishes."

Perhaps in his original trajectory, Sun Ce was not considered a benevolent monarch, but Sun Ce had been influenced by Liu Bei and Li Ji since he was a child, and his ideas were also greatly influenced invisibly.

Sun Ce was angry, but wasn’t Taishi Ci also angry?
As a native of Donglai, Qingzhou, digging up the Yellow River was tantamount to flooding Taishi Ci's hometown.

However, despite his anger, Taishi Ci still spoke calmly.

"General Bofu, if we keep this man, he may be of great use. If we kill him, who will be able to prove that it was Cao who ordered the digging of the Yellow River?"

After hearing this, Sun Ce gradually calmed down and said angrily.

"Let this bastard live for a while longer! Come, tie him up."

After tying up Cheng Yu, Sun Ce handed the rest of the surrendered Cao army over to Huang Gai for custody. He then took Taishi Ci and more than a dozen personal guards, holding torches, and walked to the gap in the river embankment in the dark.

Looking at the gap that gradually expanded to more than ten feet wide in the night, Sun Ce's face looked particularly ugly.

With such a large gap and such turbulent river water, it was simply a pipe dream for Sun Ce to block it with just the hundred or so men under his command.

Moreover, this gap is still expanding...

Obviously, this was the reason why Cheng Yu had dug the river embankment around the gap much thinner in advance.

After Sun Ce risked his life to explore the area around the gap in the dark, he discovered that Cao's army had at least destroyed the river embankment within a radius of twenty feet.

In other words, this gap will eventually expand to more than twenty feet.

Twenty feet...

Sun Ce looked at the rolling river water pouring out from the gap, feeling powerless and a chill in his heart. (End of this chapter)
