(I finally finished the work at hand and kicked out this chapter, and will resume normal updates from tomorrow)
Sima Yi¡¯s words shocked all the celebrities and ministers present.
At this moment, everyone felt as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss of extreme coldness. Even though their lives were crumbling, they were in pain and unable to save themselves.
After a moment of silence, the crowd dispersed.
The panicked ministers were scurrying around, trying to find a way to escape. A battleship in Nuo Da was in chaos, and hysterical screams could be heard from time to time.
However, the only ship that had escaped had already left. Those hateful soldiers not only smashed through the hull of the ship, but also destroyed the rudder and sail ropes.
At this time, the fighting ship, which had lost its power and control, could only drift with the waves, sinking while spinning and drifting downstream.
Not far away, several warships silently "escorted" the ruined ship as it drifted away. Obviously, they wanted to make sure that the ship had sunk.
¡°Help, help¡ª¡±
"We are here, come quickly"
"These famous ministers who originally claimed to be elegant and noble are now facing the approaching death, but many of them are so scared that they are lying on the side of the ship and begging for help from those who want their lives.
"It's really ironic that I, Sima Yi, would associate with these losers"
Looking at these colleagues who were squawking around, Sima Yi sighed helplessly but with disdain. He felt his legs were weak, and he staggered to the bow of the ship, using his hands to support himself, and then stabilized his fragile body.
His pale face faced the north bank, looking through the vastness, he seemed to be able to see a pair of cold eyes, staring at him coldly with a proud but cruel look.
Liu Feng's young face, like the face of a devil, filled his field of vision unscrupulously, making him feel ashamed and annoyed, and his chest was so stuffy that he could hardly breathe.
"Why do you want to kill us? You don't have enough reasons at all. Why, why do you do this"
Sima Yi sternly questioned the shadow in the void over and over again, but he could never figure out the man's true purpose.
With a click, the surging river water pushed the hole bigger and bigger. Due to the rapid inflow of water, the ship not only sank faster, but also the bow began to tilt up.
Sima Yi instinctively grabbed the bow of the ship.
Those scurrying famous officials felt the changes in the ship's hull and rushed towards the bow one after another. However, they were pushed and squeezed, and most of them had no time to climb to the bow and slid to the stern along the gradually sloping deck.
Those people who slipped into the stern of the boat either crashed directly into the river and were swallowed by the rolling jet current, or they were directly smashed to pieces and died on impact.
"Zhongda, we are all going to die here today."
Jiang Ji, who was so excited, desperately moved closer to Sima Yi, delaying the time when he fell into the water for another moment.
Sima Yi looked down at his colleagues who were constantly losing their lives. At this time, his heart was bleeding.
No one has to die, and he, Sima Yi, is not afraid of death. What really makes him feel uncomfortable is that he was actually tricked by Liu Feng and then killed in such a humiliating way.
He betrayed Cao Cao and wanted to please his new master, but he was abandoned by the new master like a broken shoe. Such a ruined ending was simply more uncomfortable than having him cut into pieces with a thousand swords.
"Liu Feng, even if I, Sima Yi, become a ghost, I will"
Before he finished speaking, the entire ship broke apart, and the bow, which was five or six feet high above the water, crashed into the river.
In just an instant, Sima Yi's fragile body of flesh and blood was swallowed up by the rolling waves.
Two days later, Liu Feng arrived at Mengjin.
When he heard that Sima Yi and other famous people from the Central Plains were crossing the Yellow River from Mengjin to the south, nearly half of them drowned due to an accidental shipwreck. He was so horrified that he rushed to the scene of the accident day and night.
According to eyewitnesses on several warships who rushed to the "rescue" but were too late, almost all the passengers sank to the bottom of the river with the ship. Some people who did not sink in the first place could not withstand the roar of the Yellow River. The current swept them, and they all drowned not long after they drifted downstream.
Except for a few bodies that floated to the river beach and were found, the others, such as Sima Yi, were all confirmed dead.
After learning of this sad result, Liu Feng naturally felt great regret. He immediately wrote a letter to the Han Emperor who was still on his way back to the south, posthumously granting titles to these ministers who unfortunately lost their lives, and greatly comforting their families.
In order to express his sympathy, Liu FengIn order to express the sorrow of the deceased, he also chose a day to personally place incense and set up a case on the north bank to pay homage to the souls buried in the Yellow River.
At the memorial ceremony, Liu Feng read out the memorial speech written by Jiang Qian with great emotion in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and many civil and military officials. Moved to tears.
At the end of the ceremony, Liu Feng scattered pieces of paper into the river, then held a bottle of water and wine and said loudly to the rolling river: "You loyal and righteous men, your meritorious deeds for the Han Dynasty will be remembered forever. Even though you have passed away. , but it will live in our hearts forever. Your soul in heaven, rest in peace."
Stepping into the river, a glass of wine scattered into the wind.
When the water and wine were pouring down, Liu Feng let out a sigh that no one could understand: "Sima Yi, don't blame me for being cruel. You died in the hands of me, a time traveler. You are not unjust. Go in peace."

While Liu Feng was paying homage to Sima Yi on the bank of the Yellow River, another sad man was also silently paying homage to his dead brother on the bank of the Chinese bloodline.
This sad person is Liu Bei.
Half a month ago, Liu Bei led 30,000 defeated troops back to Chang'an.
At this time, Zhao Yun in Nanzheng was still besieged, and Liu Bei could not even recapture Hanzhong. He did not even have the ability to send troops to rescue Zhao Yun.
Frustrated, Liu Bei could only send people to inform Zhao Yun, asking him to abandon Nanzheng and lead his troops to break through and return north.
When Zhao Yun learned that Hanoi was defeated and Zhang Fei was entrusted with the leadership, he was indeed shocked. He was unable to recover, so he had to lead more than a thousand troops to break out of the encirclement at night.
The total strength of Huang Zhong and Ma Su's legion was about 50,000. In order to defend against the enemy in Guanzhong, they had to divide a considerable number of troops and horses to occupy the various passages leading to Guanlong in the north of Hanzhong.
Because of this, their siege of Nanzheng was not considered seamless. Zhao Yun relied on his own bravery to fight his way out of the siege, and fled back to Chang'an with only a hundred people riding Luogu.
Zhao Yun's successful breakout gave Liu Bei some comfort. After all, after many Yuan Congjiu generals died in the battle, Zhao Yun was already one of the few who had achieved great results.
After finally stabilizing the floating people in Guanzhong, and after confirming that Liu Feng was unable to invade the west for a while, Liu Bei dared to take time out and came to Pubanjin to worship his third brother Zhang Fei.
Facing the rolling water of the Yellow River, Liu Bei's gray face was filled with unprecedented resentment. He gritted his teeth and said silently: "Third brother, don't worry, I, Liu Bei, will definitely avenge you. If not, I will avenge you with my own hands." Behead that thief Liu Feng, and I, Liu Bei, swear not to be a human being."
