In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Mid-June.
A torrential rain fell along the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. In just a few days, the ground was filled with mud.
Fortunately, Cao Cao's camp was prepared and had built a high platform and a pond in advance. At this moment, the army was stationed at a high place. In addition, there were countless trenches dug around them. Rainwater flowed down the trenches and flowed towards Shouchun City.
If the storm continued, Shouchun would soon become a water city. Although it would not be flooded, it would cause the city to flood and eventually become sick.
"Yi An, you're really godly."
"This heavy rain seems to last for at least a month. At that time, I'm afraid there won't be a place to land in Shouchun City.”
Cao Cao looked at the heavy rain outside the camp and exclaimed.
At the same time, he also knew that he had really picked up a treasure.
He knew astronomy and geography!
He knew strategy and the art of war!
What a genius.
Liu Bei had always regarded himself as a benevolent ruler and had a reputation for discerning people. However, he had misjudged Su Ran and benefited him.
It could be seen that the heavens were helping him!
A great cause could be accomplished!
Su Ran didn't know that Boss Cao was thinking so much. He looked up at Cao Cao, who was absent-minded, and smiled."My lord, you can send the second batch of surrendered soldiers back.”
"Send it back now?" Cao Cao was stunned and asked.
"Yes, I am."
Su Ran nodded." If we don't send them back, how will the people in Shouchun City know that the lord was prepared and wasn't affected by the storm?”
"Wonderful!" Cao Cao clapped.
These people went back and announced that not only were they not affected by the storm, but they were also prepared.
How could the soldiers in the city not panic?
Immediately.
Cao Cao immediately gave the order to send another two thousand Yuan soldiers back.
The funny thing was…
After these two thousand surrendered soldiers received the news, they were somewhat reluctant to leave.
They ate well and slept well in Cao Cao's camp. They would not be abused and beaten. Their days were much more comfortable than they were in Shouchun.
Many people gained weight because of this.
This was ridiculous.
However, under Xiahou Dun's repeated urging, these two thousand Yuan soldiers could only return to Shouchun reluctantly.
When they arrived at the city gates, they were stopped outside the gates, causing the two thousand people to start cursing.
However…
However, they didn't dare to leave. They could only wait in the rain for Yuan Shu's order to let them into the city.
At this moment.
Zhong Tianzi's palace.
The floor of the entire hall was wet, and most of the clothes of many civil and military officials were wet.
But there was no other way.
When Yuan Shu summoned the civil and military officials for a meeting, no one dared not to come.
"It has been raining heavily for a few days, and many places in the city have risen. Even the fish pond in my palace has become a pool of muddy water.”
"If there is a flood in the city, I will chop off your heads.”
The civil and military officials below were frightened.
However, as his eyes moved, he actually instantly thought of a way.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
An old official stepped forward and cupped his hands." The sky is raining heavily. It must be the will of the heavens!"”
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shu was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, think about it."
The old official was not young anymore. He was drenched by the rain and was shivering all over, but he still looked energetic as he said," Even we in the city would find it difficult to withstand such a heavy rain. The 200,000 Cao troops outside the city have no city walls or roofs to shelter them from the rain. The rainwater flowed into Cao's camp.”
"Can they still attack the city?"
"The heavens saw that His Majesty was suffering, so they sent down a storm to drive Cao Cao away. Perhaps Cao Cao is already thinking of returning to Xuchang.”
The old minister's words caused Yuan Shu's eyes to light up and his expression to be filled with joy.
"Indeed."
"From this, it can be seen that I am the one who is destined.”
Yuan Shu looked at Wen Wu happily.
"Your Majesty is blessed by the heavens. You will definitely be safe and sound!”
The civil and military officials immediately followed Yuan Shu's thoughts and flattered him.
Only Yan Xiang, who was standing at the side, remained silent. He was extremely speechless.
A rainstorm that could endanger the entire city could actually be said to be blessed by the heavens.
These pedantic scholars were really harmful.
Just as he was about to advise Yuan Shu not to be careless, a soldier came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Cao army outside the city has sent back two thousand surrendered soldiers.”
Another gift?
Yan Xiang turned pale with fright when he heard that.
When the 2,000 surrendered soldiers were sent back, no spies were found.
However, it was several times more serious than the appearance of spies.
The rumors that spread in the city these days were all because of those 2,000 surrendered soldiers.
The Cao army treated the captives well and did not kill those who surrendered!
Most of the soldiers in the city had lost their will to fight. Once the Cao army attacked the city, they would probably surrender as soon as they arrived.
Morale was completely gone!
What war was there to fight?
Yuan Shu was not stupid. He had suffered a loss last time, but this time, he would not let the surrendered soldiers into the city.
"Shoot those surrendered soldiers away with arrows.”
"Since you've surrendered to Cao Cao, why did you come back?”
Yuan Shu said angrily.
