Chapter 622

The raging fire burned countless supplies of the Yuan camp.

Every single one of these supplies was a source of hope that the Jizhou aristocracy had racked their brains and smashed their pots and sold their iron to scrape together.

But this so-called source of hope was also full of sin.

Aristocratic families, does the wealth they accumulate really come from themselves?

More means are through exploiting the common people and oppressing the hidden households under their governance.

Nowadays.

This raging fire ignited by Xu You burned all the supplies to ashes bit by bit.

Xu You was a capable person.

But relying solely on him, he naturally couldn't burn all the supplies in the coalition camp.

In order to make this matter handled more securely.

Gu Yi sent dozens of intelligence guards to secretly lurk in the Yuan camp.

Seeing that these supplies had been burned.

Xu You, Guo Tu, Xin Pi, and the others, with the help of the intelligence guards, quickly retreated from the coalition camp.

And when Ju Shou, Yuan Shao, Ta Dun, and Zhang Yan tried their best to return to the coalition camp, wanting to rely on the supplies in the camp to build defensive works to block the Yellow River water.

They found that everything had become a bubble.

The surging Yellow River water roared over.

After the embankment breached, the force of the Yellow River water was no longer something that human power could block.

Of course, in order to prevent the Yellow River water from submerging the entire Jizhou.

Gu Yi had already calculated the direction the Yellow River water would flow toward Julu before the official breach.

In the middle of Julu, this tributary of the Yellow River water would merge with the main Yellow River water.

At that time, after the two rivers merged, they would continue to flow toward the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

In this way.

The area submerged by the water would only be this small piece of territory in Julu Commandery.

But it was this small piece of territory that carried the nearly 300,000-strong army of Yuan Shao, Ta Dun, and Zhang Yan!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The water dragon attacked.

Facing life and death.

Yuan Shao and Ju Shou even forgot for a moment to pursue the culprit behind Feng Ji's death and the burning of grain and supplies.

But...

Their struggle was destined to be futile.

Most people from the north are landlubbers.

Facing the turbulent Yellow River water.

Countless soldiers hadn't even had time to shout before they were washed away by the river water, which was like a monstrous wave!

Even mid-to-high-level generals were pale and powerless at this moment.

What way did they have to stop this swift Yellow River water?

Two hours later.

Out of nearly 300,000 troops, fewer than 50,000 still had the ability to act.

Of the remaining 200,000-plus, most had been washed away by the Yellow River water, or died on the way to being washed away.

Yuan Shao, Ju Shou, Yan Liang, and others luckily kept their lives.

But Ta Dun and Zhang Yan were washed away by the Yellow River water, and their whereabouts were unknown.

"M-my lord."

"For the current plan, we should... quickly return to Ye City."

Ju Shou spat out two large mouthfuls of river water.

The scenes of the Yellow River water rushing over were still like a nightmare, making it hard for him to forget.

However.

Due to the soldiers' desperate protection.

Plus the moment the Yellow River water rushed over.

The location where Ju Shou and the others were was far from the main scouring direction of the river water, which was why they were able to keep their lives.

But even so.

Each of them was now trembling, and it was even difficult to stand steady.

Just like someone who had been exhausted from doing it ten times in one night!

Unable to cry!

These four words describe Yuan Shao's current mood.

The remaining 50,000-plus people also included a portion of Black Mountain bandits and Wuhuan heavy cavalry.

But relying solely on these 50,000 people, even if they returned to Ye City, how should they deal with Gu Yi?

"Who was the one who ordered the burning of the grain and fodder?"

Yuan Shao came back to his senses and looked at the few subordinates behind him with a face full of suspicion.

His gaze flashed over Yan Liang, Ju Shou, Han Lüzi, Chen Zhen, Wang Xiu, and others in succession.

Yes, in the Yuan camp, the few mid-to-high-level figures who were currently on the front lines and still alive were only these few.

But among them, aside from Yan Liang.

The remaining few were all people from the Hebei faction.

The supplies were originally provided by the Jizhou aristocracy.

Unless their brains were broken, who would burn the supplies they provided themselves?

Ju Shou frowned.

He knew that the person who burned the supplies could not be someone from the Hebei faction.

And the suspects for the Henan faction's Xin Pi and Guo Tu were undoubtedly the greatest.

Aside from them, there was Xu You.
