Zhou Huai's order was actually to let Tang Ning and Chong Jianzhong act as firefighters, with a thousand people, and hurry up to stabilize the people of Tongguan first.

When natural disasters occur, it is not the natural disaster that causes people to be displaced, but the government's inaction. Naturally, the local government is desperate to rescue and provide disaster relief, but it is good that the governments of other places can transport food and wages.

Expect them to send troops to help? Then count on Confucius to be an official in a nearby city.

At the beginning of the heavy snow in Runzhou, Hangzhou Zhizhou was only able to let Guo An lead a thousand people to escort food and wages. And when the things arrived, the thousand people turned around and left, not staying for a moment.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning thought of Guo An. In the first battle of Daqi Mountain, Guo Anxing failed to assassinate Zhou Huai, escaped into the cottage, and has not been heard from since. Although this guy doesn't think about himself, his skills are very strong.

Now that he has fallen into the grass, Tang Ning is very worried that Zhao Ren will catch up with him.

Zhao Ren is Wen, and Guo An is Wu. The combination of civil and military, if you really fight, you may not be able to parry. I don't know how the progress is on He Yu's side, did his subordinates bite Zhao Ren?

If this fang is not removed for a day, Tang Ning feels a chill in his neck when he thinks about it.

1,000 people were selected in the construction of the building, of which 700 were soldiers of the Western Army who were going to enter Beijing to receive praise from the emperor. The other three hundred were selected from the remaining three or four thousand people.

There were a lot of cattle in the army, but there were not many horses, and there were only more than 500 horses that could be freed up for this vanguard. So Chong Jianzhong ordered two soldiers to rush to Tongguan day and night.

Tongguan is located at the junction of Hezhongfu, Shaanzhou, Huazhou and Tongzhou. Something happened in Tongguan, and it stands to reason that these four states will send people to help.

But the continuous heavy rain lasted for many days, except for Huazhou, which is not close to the Yellow River, the other three states were nervously staring at the Yellow River, for fear that there would also be floods in their place.

And the governor of Huazhou may have come down to gild, Tongguan was flooded, and he soon got the news. But he didn't think it was a big deal, and he didn't listen to the advice of the general judge, and insisted on going his own way, and only ordered the county order of Huayin County to help Tongguan survive the flood.

He waited for the arrival of the imperial court's relief food before sending people over. In his original words, the soldiers couldn't eat enough, and they had to go to Tongguan to deal with the floods under the continuous heavy rain, and he, the governor, was really heartbroken.

The general judge was so angry with these words that his head was dizzy, and he swore a poisonous oath that if he didn't sue you bastard in prison, he would be the prison of a state in vain.

As a result, there are now two warm-hearted strong men standing at the door of his house to help him take care of the home, and there are also many warm-hearted men wandering around nearby, I am afraid that he will be harmed by Lord Zhizhou.

The general sentence immediately fell seriously ill, and it was rainy, which was similar to his gloomy mood. This is the third day of his bed, and his illness has not improved.

Tang Ning felt that his body was soaked and a little wrinkled, this damn rain, from three days

I haven't stopped since I set off.

Where did the child who grew up in the north experience such weather, and in his impression, even in the rainy season, it did not rain for several days in a row.

He didn't rest for three days and three nights, and even when he dozed off, he tied himself to his horse with a rope and slept on it. After waking up, he replaced Qi Fu, walked on the ground by himself, and let Qi Fu go to sleep.

But if you don't rest tonight, you can't do it, people can withstand it, but horses can't. The two bad old men Zhang Qi and Chong Pu were very bad, and the horses they got were not good horses captured from the Western Xia people, but the second horse in the Song army was said to be war trophies.

Tang Ning was shocked, wasn't he guilty of deceiving the king by doing so? But Zhang Qi was very calm, he pointed at Tang Ning and said that Tang Ning was spewing blood with bad intentions.

Even if the official family saw these 500 horses, they would only say that these were good horses captured from the hands of the Western Xia people, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would say so, you said that it was not, what are your intentions?

Tang Ning thought about it for a long time, and could only pinch his nose like the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to admit it, saying that these five hundred horses were good horses captured from the hands of the Western Xia people, and they were not ordinary good horses, they were all sweaty horses.

And now, after three days and three nights of carrying people, these sweaty horses are finally overwhelmed, and at night, more than a dozen horses fall due to lack of endurance.

In desperation, Chong Jianzhong had to order a night's rest and get up tomorrow morning to continue his journey.

After setting up the tent, Tang Ning sat in the tent and listened to the rain outside lapping on the tent, and watched Lin Wei wring out the water in his clothes shirtless, and then yawned and was about to sleep, but Chong Jianzhong came in.

The rain flowed down the gap in the armor of Chong Jianzhong, Chong Jianzhong wiped his face, walked in and said to Tang Ning with a tired face: "Supervising the envoy, we have arrived in Huayin County, and there are still about twenty miles to reach Tongguan." ”

Tang Ning perked up and said, "Great, I finally don't have to hurry." ”

Chong Jianzhong smiled bitterly: "But the superintendent, what are we going to do after we get to Tongguan?" If I am asked to judge the case, that's fine, I have experience.

If I am asked to go to war, this is no problem, I have learned a lot from my uncle in Huanzhou for so many years.

But if you want me to control the water, I really don't have any experience in this area......" Speaking of this, Chong Jianzhong looked at Tang Ning.

There was a little bit of expectation in his eyes.

Tang Ning said helplessly: "Uncle Chong, to be honest, I can't help it." Although I learned a lot from my teacher, I didn't know how to deal with the floods.

The only thing I know is to build levees, and if they can't hold back the floods, they raise the levees.

But this is just a precautionary measure, and I don't know what to do if there is a big flood.

But you don't have to worry, the Tongguan flood, the imperial court will not sit idly by. There will always be one or two people who are proficient in water control to help, and when the time comes, we just need to cooperate with him, what does he say

Wave, what do we do, can't we? ”

Chong Jianzhong sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way." ”

He came to ask Tang Ning about this, and after saying that, Chong Jianzhong turned around and left. After Tang Ning said a few words to Qi Fu, who muttered that wet wood couldn't light a fire, he found a place to lie down and sleep.

He's been exhausted these days.

The next morning, I woke up and found that the rain had stopped. The soldiers were very happy, and they changed into the clothes and armor that had been dried in the tent the previous night, and then continued on their way.

There was no rain and the road was still muddy, but the speed of progress had increased. Zhou Huai's order was to rush to Tongguan within four days, and today was the fourth day.

In the afternoon, Tang Ning and Chong Jianzhong finally arrived at Tongguan City.

The water had reached your ankles on the road before, and the closer you go, the deeper it becomes. When I arrived in front of Tongguan City, the water was already more than half of my legs.

There were many residents standing on the city wall, and they were all excited to see this team of 1,000 people coming from afar.

After closing the guards and asking Tang Ning and the others for their identities, they let people in—even if the gates were wide open to facilitate drainage.

Tongguan has natural dangers to follow, and since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers.

Although the city is not big, the soldiers stationed here are all elite soldiers.

Tongguan Soldier and Horse Commander was a vulgar person, and when he came to see Tang Ning and the others, he was all scolding.

"The water of the big river on the dog day has caused a lot of harm to Lao Tzu, and the fields in Lao Tzu's house are destroyed, and my mother's house has been flooded.

Fortunately, Lao Tzu was at home that day, otherwise even my wife would have to be drowned.

Grandma, what kind of officials are you two here? ”

Tang Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "I am the grain and grass supervisor of Huanqing Road, and this one is ...... Belch...... The right attendant is forbidden to plant in the building. ”

He nodded, and when he accidentally fell off his trouser leg that had been pulled up, he bent down to pull it up again.

While pulling, he said, "Oh, the right waiter...... What, did you two bring food with you on this trip? There is not much food in our stock, and everyone in this city will not be able to hold on for another four or five days.

Before, the county magistrate of Huayin County brought 200 mouths over, if you didn't bring food, we would have to feed more than 1,000 mouths, and after two days, there would be no food. ”

"You don't have to worry about this Lord of the Clan, although we didn't bring food here, we are only a pioneer.

There are still 4,000 people on the road behind, and in a few days they will be there......"

"What? Don't have food with you? And four thousand people in the back? Roll on! We don't need you! ”
