The flood came quickly and went away quickly.

In just three days, most of the water had receded.

When you step on it, the deepest part is just above your calf.

The place where you step is covered in mud, which makes walking on it feel uncomfortable.

"My lord, we can go to Xiangyang now."

"This time, we can seize Jingbei before the New Year. As for Jingnan...many of these people are at odds with Liu Biao. We might be able to seize the four counties without bloodshed."

Guo Jia looked at Dong Yu and said with a smile.

"Xu Rong, Feng Fang, Li Dian, and Lu Bu, you will lead 50,000 troops and station them here."

"Use this opportunity to wipe out the remaining forces in Nanyang and Zhangling counties."

"The rest of you, follow me to Xiangyang."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and gave orders to everyone.

"The last general takes command!"

The generals responded immediately.

Dong Yu led his army into Fancheng. Today, many parts of the northern wall of Fancheng have collapsed, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a ruin.

The water in the city was still quite deep, reaching above the knees.

There were corpses that had turned slightly white due to being soaked in the water. Judging from their appearance, they would probably start to rot completely in a few days.

"Zilong, go back and have Xu Rong send people to salvage the bodies in the city and burn them to prevent an epidemic."

Dong Yu gave an order to Zhao Yun who was beside him.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun nodded, turned his horse around and walked on the water.

"help me!"

"I'm still alive...help me!"

As they walked deeper into the city, they gradually discovered some survivors.

Their lips were pale and they looked miserable, obviously having been starving for the past few days.

"Ma Dai, go get some men, take them under guard, and give them some food."

This flood has already caused too much killing, and there is no need for Dong Yu to start a massacre just for a few survivors.

"promise!"

Ma Dai immediately left the team with his 500 soldiers.

Everyone walked all the way to the river bank.

The Mian River rushes eastward, separating Fancheng from Xiangyang.

"How can we cross the river without a boat?"

Lu Bu asked with a frown, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

"The main force of Jingzhou has been defeated. Can my army of 100,000 be stopped by a river?"

"Go get some boats. If there aren't any, have the craftsmen build them with wood."

Dong Yu gave Lu Bu a displeased look.

"My lord, there is no need to bother."

"Raise the general's flag high and wave it. Someone on the other side will surely come to greet us."

Guo Jia stroked his beard and smiled, then turned around and said to the flag soldiers.

"Listen to Military Advisor Guo."

Dong Yu turned around and gave an order, and the soldiers then raised the military flag high.

On the banks of the Yangtze River, there were loud gongs and drums, blasts of firecrackers, waving military flags, and huge crowds of people.

The noise immediately alarmed the soldiers on the other side.

"Quick, sail over there!"

"Everyone, immediately move the boats to the other side."

The soldiers, who had received orders from Kuai Liang long ago, shouted and jumped onto the bow of the boat.

One after another, warships, tower ships, and fighting ships rushed to the other side.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but look sideways at Guo Jia.

"Some skills."

"Of course, it's a little worse than General Ben's."

Lu Bu praised proudly.

Since showing his talents in Nanyang and experiencing a second spring in his career, Lu Bu’s confidence is higher than ever.

"Of course I am no match for General Lu."

"General Lu has repeatedly defeated the enemy in Nanyang. I admire him."

Guo Jia was too lazy to argue with Lu Bu, so he just bowed.

"That's it, that's it, hahahaha!"

Lu Bu threw his head back and laughed triumphantly.

Besides being greedy for money and lustful, he has another flaw: he likes to be praised.

Of course, people with great abilities generally like to be praised.

They say they are willing to accept advice and learn from it with an open mind, but they are just pretending to be calm on the surface. In fact, they have been cursing in their hearts for a long time.

The ships broke through the water, and accompanied by the sound of waves, dozens of ships of all sizes arrived at the shore.

"I am following the orders of the Governor of Jingzhou, Lord Kuai, to respectfully welcome the General."

Wei Yan bowed and reported to Dong Yu.

"Oh?"

"It seems that you are not going to resist stubbornly?"

Dong Yu looked down at Wei Yan and asked with a smile.

"The general is joking."

"It is the false King Liu Biao who is resisting stubbornly. We are eager for the general to lead the army to pacify Jingzhou."
