Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

The top of Juyan City.

There was a burst of cheers.

From Cao Zhang to the Qin soldiers, everyone was ecstatic and extremely excited.

Cao Zhang was so excited that veins bulged on his forehead and his eyeballs seemed about to burst from their sockets.

From their high vantage point, they could vaguely see the flood peak coming from upstream.

All of them were eagerly looking forward to seeing the grand spectacle of 40,000 Han troops being torn to pieces by the torrent coming from upstream.

"Nearly 7,000 Han soldiers have crossed the river. Of these 7,000, no one has survived."

"Once the flood arrives, at least 20,000 more people will be wiped out, and only 10,000 Han soldiers will be able to escape this disaster."

"The remaining 10,000 people will surely lose their morale and flee at the first sign of trouble."

"Your Highness, if you take advantage of the situation and cross the river to pursue us, you will surely be able to capture the Han army in one fell swoop and annihilate them all in the south of Juyan City!"

Yang Fu pointed at the Han army on both sides of the Ruoshui River, with a determined sneer on his face, and outlined a blueprint for Cao Zhang.

As Cao Zhang listened to his outline, he became more and more excited and couldn't help laughing.

He had even begun to imagine the scene of Xiao Fang and Zhang Fei being captured alive, kneeling in humiliation before him, begging for surrender.

Especially Xiao Fang.

That was the pillar of the Han Dynasty.

If this man could be captured and killed, Qin might have hope of regaining Yongliang. Even regaining the Central Plains and annihilating the Han State might not be a pipe dream.

And he, Cao Zhang, will become the greatest contributor to Qin's reversal of fortune and victory.

With this extraordinary achievement, Cao Cao might even abolish Cao Zhang's position as crown prince and make him the crown prince instead!

The more Cao Zhang fantasized, the more he thought about it. He became so excited that his fists clenched until they crackled.

"Oh no! The Han army is making unusual movements!"

Guo Jia's exclamation woke Cao Zhang from his sweet dream.

Cao Zhang raised his head and looked anxiously in the direction of Ruoshui.

From what we could see, the Han army that was crossing the river suddenly began to run towards the shore like a frightened bird.

In a blink of an eye, nearly ten thousand Han troops on the river rushed back to the south bank.

The Han army that had passed the north bank of the river quickly moved north and away from the beach.

"Why...why did the Han army suddenly not cross the river?"

"Yang Yishan, what's going on?"

Cao Zhang's face changed in shock, and he shouted at Yang Fu anxiously.

The determination on Yang Fu's face turned into shock and surprise, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"This this……"

Yang Fu was hesitant, not knowing how to explain.

In the blink of an eye, a torrent of water surged in from upstream and passed through the southern part of Juyan City.

When the flood arrived, the water level, which was originally knee-deep, suddenly rose several times higher, even overflowing the embankment and flowing to the fields on both sides of the Ruoshui River.

Fortunately, the Han army withdrew in time. Except for thousands of soldiers who did not have time to go ashore and were swept away by the flood, the main force was retreated to a safe area and most of them were safe and sound.

Cao Zhang was stunned, and he kept hitting the battlements with his fists, watching with hatred and resentment that the Han army escaped annihilation at the critical moment.

"It must be that Xiao Fang saw through Yang Yishan's plan before the upstream flood started, and ordered the Han army to stop crossing the river and stay away from the river bank in advance."

"Yang Yishan, you are still not able to learn the ropes of learning from others."

"Ugh--"

Guo Jia figured out the reason and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Yang Fu's body was shocked, and he suddenly realized what was going on.

Annoyed, unwilling, sad, ashamed...

All kinds of negative emotions suddenly came over him, covering his entire body. "Your Highness, I, your servant..."

The plan failed again and Yang Fu didn't know how to face Cao Zhang.

Guo Jia did not give him a chance to explain, and hurriedly bowed:

"Your Highness, Yang Yishan's plan has failed. The Han army is unscathed. Juyan City is undefendable. We are no match for the Han army."

"While the main force of the Han army has not yet crossed the river and the water level of the Ruoshui River has not yet dropped, we should abandon the city and head north to the grassland."

Cao Zhang gritted his teeth and looked at the Han army that was safe and sound, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

Yang Fu rolled his eyes a few times, then suddenly regained his composure, with murderous intent rekindled in his eyes.

"Your Highness, although Xiao Fang has discovered my plan, we may still have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the Han army and defend Guyan!"

Cao Zhang's spirits suddenly perked up, and he looked at Yang Fu anxiously.

Yang Fu pointed to the north bank and sneered:
"Although the main force of the Han army withdrew to the south bank, his front army of 7,000 soldiers was cut off on the north bank."

"Our army has more than 10,000 people, which is more numerous than the Han army. We are well-rested and waiting for the enemy to tire. We have every advantage."

"Your Highness, why don't you mobilize all your forces to wipe out these 7,000 Han troops in one fell swoop? That would also be a great victory."

"Killing 7,000 enemies is enough to inflict heavy damage on the Han army and greatly boost the morale of our army."

"The two thieves, Xiao Fang and Zhang Fei, have suffered heavy losses. Seeing that their army's morale has been crushed, they will most likely retreat southward."

"This way, we at least have some breathing space and can make long-term plans!"

Yang Fu's words instantly ignited Cao Zhang's confidence.

"You are right. This battle is not over yet. I still have a chance to inflict heavy damage on the Han army!"

Cao Zhang's fighting spirit was raging, he raised his sword and shouted:
"Pass the order down, all troops, follow me to kill those 7,000 Han soldiers!"

After saying this, Cao Zhang picked up his sword and walked down the city wall. Yang Fu also picked up his spear and followed him down the city wall.

"Your Highness, no—"

Guo Jia wanted to keep him, but it was too late.

Cao Zhang was so eager to win that he could not hear his shouts and left the city in a flash.

The city gates opened and the drawbridge dropped.

Cao Zhang rode his horse and drew his sword, rushing out of the city gate first.

More than 10,000 Qin soldiers, following Cao Zhang, poured out of Juyan City like a tide and attacked the 7,000 Han troops on the north bank of the Ruoshui River.

Everyone knew that this was their last hope to stay in Liangzhou.

Every soldier of the Qin army showed a life-threatening spirit and rushed forward recklessly.

A hundred steps away from the north bank.

Guan Ping and his 7,000 soldiers had just escaped from the shore, leaving the flood behind them far behind.

Looking at the water behind him, Guan Ping was still frightened. It was not until this moment that he understood why Zhang Fei suddenly ordered him to lead his troops away from the north bank.

"This must be Cao Zhang's evil plan. The Prime Minister must have seen through it, so he was able to get us away from the riverbank in time at the critical moment and avoid this fatal disaster..."

Guan Ping's thoughts raced, and he finally figured out the mystery.

Just when he was secretly rejoicing.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of killing was heard from behind.

The sound of the horn pierced the sky.

Guan Ping looked back suddenly and saw countless Qin soldiers swarming out of Juyan City like wild beasts.

Obviously, this was Cao Zhang in the city. Seeing that they were cut off on the north bank, he took the opportunity to rush out in large numbers, wanting to annihilate them in one fell swoop on the north bank.

"Cao Zhang, do you think you can destroy us just because my 7,000 soldiers are cut off on the north bank?"

Guan Ping snorted disdainfully and shouted arrogantly:

"All troops, listen to my orders. Form a battle array to meet the enemy. Follow me and fight to the death to kill the enemy!" (End of this chapter)
