After saying that, Dong Zhuo led his troops to charge forward. Jia Xu turned around and looked in the direction Dong Zhuo had just looked back, and saw a gorgeous carriage surrounded by ministers, barely keeping up with the army at the end.

The emperor...

-

Han Fu's army, which took extreme measures to reduce its load, broke through quickly, but those soldiers who were unable to execute orders in time or were gradually left behind became victims of Dong Zhuo's army.

However, the total casualties were only more than 10,000 people, which were completely acceptable losses for Han Fu’s military generals such as Gao Lan.

It was already a losing situation, and being able to preserve most of the troops was an extremely difficult result.

But now, neither Gao Lan nor others are sure that they have saved most of the people. They still don’t know what the situation is like on the bank of the Yellow River in the northeast, and how many ferries are waiting for them.

But when Gao Lan, Zhang He and others arrived at the river bank, they saw only a dozen or so ferries.

But soon, both of them noticed one thing at the same time, that is, these dozen ferries were actually connected in a line, connecting the two sides of the Yellow River to form a floating bridge.

"Are we going to cross the river from here?" Han Fu was stunned and looked full of doubt.

Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others also frowned slightly. Although the water surface of the Yellow River in this section was relatively calm, could this floating bridge made up of ferry boats really carry an army of 100,000 across the river?

Moreover, with such a narrow passage, a large number of soldiers would surely fall into the water due to the crowding...

Gao Lan and Zhang He also realized this, but now they had no way out, this was their only option.

"Cross the river!"

"My lord, the other princes, and the civil officials should go first, and the rest of you should line up and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Now we can only fight and retreat.

Fortunately, when Han Fu and others stepped onto the ferry, they found that the floating bridge formed by the ferry was unexpectedly stable.

Han Fu was delighted to see that the ferry was so stable just by adding a few more trees on both sides.

But before they could be happy for long, a large number of arrows rained down from Dong Zhuo's side.

Han Fu and others immediately hid under the shield-wielding soldiers and fled hastily towards the other side of the river bank.

Han Fu's army defending the river bank had become a sitting duck. Dong Zhuo directed all his archers toward the ferry bridge, while the rest of the generals surrounded Han Fu's army.

The Yellow River became their natural ally.

"That ferry bridge should have been reinforced with special means." Li Ru looked into the distance, "If this continues, Han Fu and his men should be able to escape, but we can also annihilate them..."

Before Li Ru could finish, Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, "Do you have a plan to prevent Han Fu from escaping?"

While Li Ru was thinking, Jia Xu said, "We can use fire attack."

Fire attack.

The counselors and generals beside Dong Zhuo looked at the ferry bridge that was hanging alone in the river like a willow leaf.

This strategy was too cruel. They could even imagine the desperate scene after Han Fu’s army’s only hope was burned down.

Jia Xu obviously has a temperament as gentle as jade and treats people with kindness and courtesy, but he always comes up with such vicious plans.

It was also she who led the encirclement and annihilation of Han Fu.

"Okay." Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with this. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes as he spoke to those around him.

"Fire arrows!"

After a while, Gao Lan and Zhang He saw a group of orange-yellow rockets breaking through the dawn like locusts, but their target was not the people guarding the shore.

The burning arrows flew over the head and hit the river behind him. Even the hottest flames would be annihilated in an instant when immersed in the water of the Yellow River.

As countless steam rose from the surface of the Yellow River, a small number of fire arrows, either lucky or unlucky, eventually fell onto the ferry pontoon.

For a moment, the floating bridge was engulfed in flames, and Han Fu and others had to retreat.

A feeling of despair rose in everyone's heart. Seeing the floating bridge on the water burning rapidly, like a slender fire dragon slowly sinking into the river, Dong Zhuo also smiled.

It should be like this.

This is the natural result. Although there were many unexpected events in the middle, this is the ending that Dong Zhuo wanted to see and should see.

Han Fu's army was completely annihilated, the anti-Dong alliance was defeated one by one, and finally all the princes in the world submitted to him.

Han Fu is the first, but will not be the last.

"Wenhe, do you think I should pursue the enemy now?" Dong Zhuo asked Jia Xu beside him.

Jia Xu lowered his head and quickly responded: "Han Fu's army is like a turtle in a jar, waiting for the prime minister to take it and kill it."

Dong Zhuo smiled when he heard this. The reason why she valued Jia Xu was not only his ability, but also a very important reason was that Jia Xu made her feel very comfortable.

Just like now, Jia Xu can understand what she means very clearly and say something that makes her feel very good.

No lord would dislike this ability.

At this moment, Liu Zhaoqing was hiding behind the reeds on the opposite bank, looking at the opposite side quietly.

The sounds of killing were deafening on the other side of the river, but here it was so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.

There is only a river between them, but it seems like two worlds separated by one dimension.

"My lord, it seems that Han Fu's army failed to cross the river..." Zhao Yun said softly, looking into the distance.

She didn't even need to remind him, the burning ferry bridge over the Yellow River showed that Han Fu's army had no way of retreat.

"My God-given power cannot resist rockets." Gao Shun said calmly.

The others were naturally aware of this, and none of them blamed the problem on her.

Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "If Han Fu's entire army is annihilated on the other side of the river, then Cao Cao's troops will have no chance to expand their victory, and we will have no choice but to return."

"Don't worry." Liu Zhaoqing looked calm.

"This is just the beginning."

From the beginning, Liu Zhaoqing didn't expect that the ferry bridge could really carry an army of 100,000.

He naturally has a backup plan, but it will take some time.

About half a minute later, Gao Shun on the side could not help but speak up: "Han Fu's army formation has been broken, and the remaining soldiers will soon be slaughtered."

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun looked at Liu Zhaoqing. They and the remaining one hundred or so Yellow Turban riders all obeyed Liu Zhaoqing's orders.

But Liu Zhaoqing said, "You guys step back a little."

“Don’t get sucked into it.”

"what?"

While everyone was puzzled, Liu Zhaoqing drew out the long sword from his waist, reached out and stroked the gray blade of the Water-Repellent Sword, and then his fingers stroked the blade.

Blood seeped into the Water-Repellent Sword. At the same time, Liu Zhaoqing said to himself, "Give me a hand, Yinglong."

"I am the king of the water, but I have to help you clear the way. This is really a disgrace to my name."

Although he responded like this, Liu Zhaoqing still immediately felt a warm power coming from his heart.

This power is more turbulent than the Yellow River and purer than any spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This is the power of the true dragon, and the reason why Yinglong is Yinglong.

Liu Zhaoqing had a familiar feeling, it was the same feeling he had when he first received the power bestowed by Yinglong outside Pingyuan County.

This time, the Yinglong, which had been upgraded and nurtured, no longer needed Liu Zhaoqing to offer his origin, not only because it had recovered a small part of its strength, but also because Liu Zhaoqing was completely different from what he was then.

"Connect your fanfiction to the Water-Repellent Sword. Since you possess my origin, you should be able to temporarily gain the qualifications to use it."

Liu Zhaoqing did as he was told. He closed his eyes and injected his consciousness into the Human Book in his body. Then, it was connected from the Human Book to the Water-Repellent Sword in his hand like a gossamer.

In an instant, Liu Zhaoqing seemed to have encountered a thick barrier. He had experienced this barrier many times before, and it required the essence and blood of a ferocious beast to soften it.

But this time, when Liu Zhaoqing, with the power of Yinglong, just touched the "barrier", the barrier shattered.

An ancient and heart-throbbing breath went straight into Liu Zhaoqing's soul.

He seemed to see a lord riding on a black tortoise, holding a blue divine sword in his hand, wielding his mighty sword, with a Yinglong dancing above his head and the rivers in front of him at his command.

This is……

Liu Zhaoqing was surprised. Is this the original appearance of the Water-Repellent Sword?

At this moment, with the help of Yinglong, Liu Zhaoqing finally touched the ultimate limit of human beings, and just this limit was enough to give him the power to create the world.

"The combined strength of Renshu and I is only enough to maintain the Water-Repellent Sword in this form for about half a moment, otherwise it will hurt your origin. This battle will not endanger your foundation, so don't force it." Yinglong said.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly in his heart, then slowly opened his eyes.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao on the side were surprised to find that Liu Zhaoqing seemed to have become a different person. His temperament was like that of the master of the world. The chirping of insects around him stopped at the same time at this moment.

Then they saw the dew on the grass and the puddles on the ground all began to vibrate and slowly float up into the sky.

Towards Liu Zhaoqing, towards the rapidly changing long sword in his hand.

The Water-Repellent Sword faded from its ancient gray color and gradually turned into light blue.

He raised his sword and slashed it towards the river in front of him.

"open!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of people on the other side of the strait saw a scene they would never forget.

The river that had been flowing for tens of millions of years stagnated, and a crack slowly appeared in the river.

Chapter 287: Don't chase the enemy, a magical object appears at the bottom of the river 4K

"How is this going?!"

“Why did the Yellow River, the Yellow River stop flowing and crack?!”

The huge noise made the soldiers on the other side look back.

The slowly separating river water seemed to be separated by an invisible giant hand, and slowly pushed to both sides.

Han Fu and others were stunned when they saw this scene.

Gao Lan was also surprised for a while, and then immediately realized that this was the army's last chance to survive.

Dong Zhuo and others who were further away, after seeing this scene, for a moment they even forgot to issue the order to attack, so that they could take advantage of Han Fu's army's distraction to attack and kill them.

"How could the Yellow River...how could this happen?" the general beside Dong Zhuo murmured to himself.

"Could it be that some disaster has appeared in the world?"

"There is no smell of a ferocious beast, and it is not a disaster. Moreover, it appeared at this time. I think it is more like... the heavens are helping Han Fu."

"Is it fate that Han Fu escaped? So the heavens even opened the Yellow River to let them leave?"

……

All kinds of unreasonable speculations filled with panic spread around Dong Zhuo in an instant.

Moreover, compared with the unreasonableness of these speculations, the situation of the Yellow River itself is even more unreasonable.

The most important thing is that Dong Zhuo really has to consider these speculations carefully.

Because this is not the period of the Western Han Dynasty or the pre-Qin Dynasty, legends about supernatural powers and gods really existed.

If there was a divine beast following some kind of will to help Han Fu's army, then it could indeed be said that Han Fu was destined to be there.

That just proves that what Dong Zhuo did was something that even God could not tolerate.

"Why did this happen? Li Ru." Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru was shocked when Dong Zhuo asked him about this. He immediately came to his senses and said, "This... I don't know either, but it is definitely not 'the destiny'. Han Fu cannot be the destiny. It is more like... someone is observing the battle situation and suddenly came to the rescue at this time."

"Someone?" Dong Zhuo's eyes were cold. "You mean, the enemy has the ability to dig the Yellow River?"

"Could it be that my opponent is not a mortal, but a divine beast that can control the river?"

Li Ru couldn't respond, he looked at Jia Xu beside him.

Jia Xu bowed and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, please remain calm. What Li Ru said... is indeed correct. This is not something that God did, but something that people did."

"There is a reason why the Yellow River split at this moment instead of opening after we destroyed the pontoon bridge. Han Fu's army has been eaten up by our army, and now there are only 80,000 left. So, he has a reason to take action."

Dong Zhuo frowned slightly. "It's 'him' again? Do you think this was done by Liu Zhaoqing? Even if that was the case, why would he deliberately wait until his ally was injured to such an extent before taking action?"

"Because it is in Liu Zhaoqing's interest." Jia Xu continued.

"We already knew from previous intelligence that among the princes in Hebei, Han Fu and the Jizhou and Bingzhou factions and Liu Zhaoqing and the Youzhou faction have always been at odds with each other."
