Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The Yellow River water that was constantly rushing out from the gap was rushing down to the south and east with a torrent of force.

Zhou Yu, who was still more than a hundred miles away from the Yellow River bank, looked at the surging river in the night. His expression was still gloomy, but he could not hide the lucky look in his eyes.

Although due to the distance, the river water rushing to this location will not wash away everything instantly.

But the army was caught off guard at night and was inevitably in chaos when suddenly faced with such a situation.

Moreover, with the water level constantly rising, it would be difficult to preserve the limited food and equipment in the army, even temporarily leading the army to find a high place to avoid the water would be difficult to do.

The final result is that the entire army will be buried in the water...

When Zhou Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel scared.

But even with Taishi Ci's warning, Zhou Yu led his army to find a high place to avoid the water in advance and escaped the disaster.

Now that Jinan was flooded, Zhou Yu could not rush to Dongchaojin as planned. Instead, his entire army was trapped in Jinan and became an isolated force on the verge of running out of food.

Even though Zhou Yu was an extraordinary talent, he was still confused at the moment and didn't know what to do.

……

As the Yellow River raged all night, the people in the city were still safe, but a considerable number of people outside the city were drowned by the surging river water.

The entire northern part of Jinan State became almost a swamp, the water level continued to rise, submerging everything in its path.

Moreover, the scope of this swampland is still spreading towards the southern part of Jinan State.

A large number of Jinan people who realized the situation later began to flee in all directions, but more people were buried under the water or trapped in cities, watching helplessly and desperately as everything outside the city turned into a swamp.

Roads, fields, houses...

Everything was quickly swallowed up by the turbid river water.

The State of Jinan, which was once ruled by Cao Cao as prime minister, is now in a state of mourning.

Even though Xun Yu had relocated or transferred a large number of Jinan people for various reasons early on, the entire Jinan State was still populated by more than 200,000 people.

The Yellow River broke its dike in Jinan, and the news of the flood spread quickly to the surrounding counties, causing countless shocks.

……

Near the gap, Sun Ce kept risking his life to explore the surrounding terrain and thought hard all night, but he still could not find any way to block the gap.

As the sky grew brighter, the gap began to approach a width of twenty feet, which made Sun Ce even more anxious and angry.

If the gap cannot be blocked in time, not only will a large number of Jinan people suffer, but even the army led by Zhou Yu will be trapped and die within the borders of Jinan.

Finally, Cheng Yu, who was tied up tightly, was brought before Sun Ce again.

Sun Ce grabbed Cheng Yu by the collar, lifted him up and shouted.

"Tell me! How can we plug this gap?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Cheng Yu, who had not yet recovered from being kicked by Sun Ce, could not help coughing, and then said with a sneer.

"Don't be so wishful thinking. This gap is impossible to close."

Taishi Ci, who was standing aside, also had red eyes and retorted.

"Impossible! Cao the thief calls himself the governor of Qingzhou. If he allows the Yellow River to flow, not only will Jinan be flooded, but even the Jishui River will be completely blocked."

"And a large amount of Yellow River water will also pour down along the Ji River, affecting Le'an County, Qi State, and Beihai State one after another."

"Unless Cao is prepared to abandon Qingzhou, how could he allow the Yellow River to flow within Qingzhou? You must have a way to plug the gap."

At this time, the captured Cheng Yu also knew what his fate would be.

He knew that even if he defected to Liu Bei's camp now, he would never be accepted, and sooner or later Liu Bei would chop off his head to vent his anger.

Therefore, Cheng Yu sneered, looking like he was letting himself be dealt with, and had no intention of answering at all. "Okay, okay!"

Sun Ce said with a smile in his anger. "I hope that the toughness of your bones can be matched by the viciousness of your heart."

Immediately, before Cheng Yu could say anything tough.

Sun Ce threw Cheng Yu to the ground, causing him to feel severe pain all over his body before he could even cry out in pain.

The next moment, Sun Ce raised his foot and stepped on Cheng Yu's wrist.

"Crack!"

As the kick landed, Cheng Yu's wrist made a series of bone-breaking sounds on the spot, and Cheng Yu screamed in pain.

With another kick, the other wrist was also broken by Sun Ce.

For a moment, Cheng Yu, who was tied up tightly, was in so much pain that he stretched out like a shrimp, and his whole face was flushed red.

"Go, get some fine salt."

When Sun Ce's voice sounded again, Cheng Yu, who was rolling in pain, trembled all over.

The more cruel a person is to others, the more he or she cherishes himself or herself.

Jia Xu is like this, and Cheng Yu can't be called a tough person.

Therefore, even though Cheng Yu understood what his fate would be after being captured, he was still completely shrouded in fear at this moment.

"I said, I said..."

Cheng Yu begged for mercy again and again.

Sun Ce looked at Cheng Yu with more and more contempt, then squatted in front of Cheng Yu and questioned him.

"Tell me! How can we plug the gap in the Yellow River? Cao must have made some preparations for this."

Cheng Yu, whose tears began to flow uncontrollably from the pain, answered with a sad face.

"I really don't know about this."

Without waiting for Sun Ce to ask further questions, Cheng Yu blurted it out.

"Digging the Yellow River was a secret order given to me by Xun Yu with the tacit consent of my lord. My mission is to dig a gap of 20 to 25 meters wide here."

"As for how to fill the gap..."

Cheng Yu subconsciously tried to deny it, but under Sun Ce's aggressive and angry eyes.

Cheng Yu's voice changed and he explained hurriedly.

"I am just following orders. I really don't know how to plug the gap."

"But my guess is that Xun Yu later organized the disaster-stricken people of Jinan State and used the 'work-for-relief' method that the national scholar used in Wujun to gradually fill the gap."

Taishi Ci shouted angrily, "How dare you deceive us?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Cheng Yu spoke with a desperate look.

"Xun Yu had already made corresponding preparations around Jinan State on the pretext of dredging the river, in order to prevent the flood from affecting other prefectures and counties in Qingzhou."

"According to my judgment, after flooding Jinan State, the Yellow River water will flow southward, pass through the northern part of Taishan County, and rush into Langya State along the terrain."

"By then, the entire northern part of Langya State will be flooded by the Yellow River, which will invisibly block the possibility of sending troops from Xuzhou to Qingzhou in the next two or three years."

"How could he be in a hurry to plug the gap when the flooding of Jinan State was inevitable and Xun Yu had already made preparations in advance to prevent the spread of the other states and counties, and was planning to let the Yellow River water flow southward to flood Langya State?"
