This conversation made Tang Ning deeply aware of the importance of power, and had a strong sense of identity with the sentence that he had the intention to kill a thief and was unable to return to heaven.

At dawn, Downing took people directly to the south to dig up the sand, make sandbags, and then transport them to the river, and drop the sandbags in the places marked with wooden stakes yesterday.

This was repeated all day, and in the evening, it didn't have much effect.

When Zhou Huai led the army to arrive, the situation improved.

Zhou Huai discarded all the unnecessary baggage, modified the vacated place with sand and gravel, and transported more than a dozen truckloads of sand and gravel. In addition to this, there is some grain. Although it has been raining for several days, Zhou Huai's prevention work has been very good, and the grain and grass soaked by the rain only account for a small part.

Tang Ning's rank is much lower than that of the Governor, and the position of the Transshipment Envoy is not known to be higher than that of the Commander.

Therefore, after Tang Ning sued, under the order of Zhou Huai, he had to hand over the rough logs and boulders used as military supplies in the city.

With these things and manpower, the water situation will naturally be much simpler to manage. Zhou Huai was also a person with experience in water control, and after arriving, he left 3,000 people to build a dam by the river, and he himself took 1,000 people to the upstream to dredge the river.

After half a month of hard work, the Tongguan area was finally restored to its former appearance. Of course, this is only a relatively superficial preliminary governance, and the officials appointed by the imperial court should also arrive, and the rest of the work is their task, and it has nothing to do with the army that Tang Ning is in.

When leaving, the magistrate of Huayin County, and the officials sent by the imperial court to deal with the flood were sent to see off the people of Tongguan.

Originally, as long as you take the big ship of the water division at the Tongguan wharf, you can go straight to Kaifeng Mansion, but this time the Yellow River is overflowing, and the big ship of the water division at Tongguan is stranded, and there are not a few people who flee to other places.

In desperation, the army had no choice but to advance again, booking a boat in Shaanzhou, two hundred miles away.

I have been soaked in water for more than half a month, especially now that the weather has begun to get cooler. Many officers and men have contracted the wind cold, and the sound of sneezing and snotting in the army has always been non-stop for a moment in the past few days.

Because of this, Qi Xianyu was busy. She personally took people to nearby towns to buy herbs, some places are small, there are no medical centers, and if there are medical centers, the medicines may not be complete.

Therefore, Qi Xianyu had to go to more than a dozen towns to buy all the medicinal materials he wanted to buy.

After buying it back, I have to teach the soldiers how to decoct medicine, and it's good to be smart, and you can learn it at once. Those stupid ones didn't understand how to teach, and in the end Tang Ning came over with a book, saying that whoever can't learn decoction medicine should first learn to read from this book, and if he can't even recognize words, then he can only be dealt with by military law.

So all the soldiers quickly learned to decoction, and Qi Xianyu's burden was reduced a little.

The army marched to Shaanzhou in five days. Because the number of soldiers suffering from wind and cold is gradually increasing, this is a small area

Two hundred miles, a road that can be completed in three days, and every time he walks, Zhou Huai ordered to rest in place for a while.

When he was about to arrive in Shaanzhou, Zhou Huai ordered to rest again. Tang Ning came down to inspect the circle, but found nothing unusual. With the exception of a creep who was developing a low-grade fever, the others showed no signs of deterioration.

When he returned to the front army, Lao Wu ran over to find him, saying that Zhou Huai was looking for him.

Tang Ning nodded, and followed Lao Wu to Zhou Huai's resting place.

Although Zhou Huai is not afraid of the cold, he likes warmth. Sitting on the ground, in front of him was a roaring fire. Seeing Tang Ning coming, he stretched out his hand to greet Tang Ning, and asked as if unintentionally: "Since the old man went to Tongguan, I found that you didn't talk as much as you used to."

The old man thought it was caused by your worries about the flood, but now it has been five days since you came out of Tongguan, why don't you still like words? ”

Tang Ning smiled: "Is there one? I didn't even notice it myself. ”

Zhou Huai shook his head and said, "Are you still angry because of that ruler's words?" You have to know that people like him are in the minority......"

"Isn't it the same with Huazhou Zhizhou?" Tang Ning said softly: "If it weren't for the Jingzhao Mansion sending people to send food, we wouldn't have been able to hold out for more than half a month, let alone the people of Tongguan?"

Of the four states near Tongguan, none of them sent reinforcements. Even if it was food, I didn't see them send anyone to send it.

I don't know what you think of this kind of behavior, Master. ”

Zhou Huai sighed: "You, you are very smart in many things, but when it comes to this kind of thing, you will be confused." The Tongguan flood, no matter how serious it is, is only a loss of land.

But what if the officials of the four states send people out, and there is a big flood on their side?

Just because it rains in Tongguan doesn't mean it doesn't rain elsewhere. This is not only the tight Tongguan, but they also need manpower to strengthen the river embankment, and they also need to pay attention to the rise and fall of the water level at all times. ”

"Alas, it's a futile drill, Master.

But in the more than 20 days that I stayed in Tongguan, except for you and Jingzhao Mansion, there was no help from other places, and according to the county order of Huayin County, the governor of Huazhou was greedy for disaster relief and food, and was sentenced to be imprisoned in the house, and no one took care of it when it was so corrupt?

There is also that ruler, no one carries the black pot for him, and he can say that he doesn't work, so no one cares? How did such an official sit in this position? ”

Zhou Huai said with a smile: "It's not that I don't care, but these things are not managed by him as a county order or as a transfer enabler by me."

This matter came to Beijing, and the official family should deal with him himself. It's only been a long time now, even if the official family has already disposed of him and wants to take away his official, the angel must still be on the way, and he hasn't even arrived in Shaanzhou.

It's good for you to have this heart, but you haven't changed their strength yet. So what you need to do now is not to draw a knife to help when the road is uneven, but to do your own thing and accumulate strength.

In the early years of being a teacher, I also had this kind of thought, and when the road was uneven, it was a roar, but what about after the roar? People are soft-spoken, even if they are those who are on the corpse vegetarian meal, others will only throw the fold aside.

It is only now that I have a little right to speak. At least the folds that are sent to them will be carefully read, and they will no longer be used as firewood to fill the stove as before. ”

Zhou Huai's words made Tang Ning feel a lot.

Only when the fist is big, what is said will be heard. But when my fist became big enough, I don't know what year and month it was.

There's a long way to go. Tang Ning sighed in his heart.

………………

Tokyo City, it is a bustling and lively city. From morning to night, the largest city in the world at the same time exuded her vitality.

There are a wide range of goods in the market, from the exclusive use of the aristocracy to the daily needs of the common people, as long as you want, you can find almost everything here.

It is such a prosperous city, where a single person can drown these seven hundred soldiers with a mouthful of spit, and when Tang Ning, Zhou Huai and others stood at the gate of the city, only a trembling old man did not leave.

More than 700 people are not considered to be good, in order to highlight the merits of the border soldiers, Liu Ling specially asked everyone to change into armor that has not been cleaned after the war.

The blood stain had condensed into dark spots on the nail leaves, and the seven hundred people who were dressed in embarrassment but did not lose their might stood at the gate of the city, and even the soldiers defending the city were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

Zhou Huai's face was expressionless, and Tang Ning's eyes were full of disappointment.

If the Great Song Wenzhi shown by the Tongguan flood made Tang Ning feel angry, then the Great Song Wuzhi shown by Tokyo, as the capital, this time made Tang Ning completely disheartened.

In Runzhou, in the northwest, he was full of admiration for the Great Song Dynasty.

This is also an important reason why he does not resist Zhou Huai arranging errands for him, because he feels that this country is still saved, and as their descendants, Tang Ning himself is very happy to stand up and pull them along.

But now, all that left him was disappointment. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and the first reaction of the soldiers in the capital when they saw people was not to close the city gate and release arrows as a warning, but to turn around and flee.

What else can be saved in such a country? A towering tree, its roots have rotted away, and it is only a matter of time before it falls.

But the trembling old man made Tang Ning have a glimmer of hope in his heart, when the rich daughter, the peddler's pawn cried and fled, the old man's immobility made Tang Ning's eyes light up.

After getting off the horse, Tang Ning walked quickly to the old man's side and asked with a smile: "Uncle, they all ran away, why don't you run?" ”

"I'm blind, I can't see things, my crutches don't know which turtle grandson is taken away, I don't dare to move, I'm afraid of wrestling......"
