Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Rengui: "Brother Xue, what do you think?" ”

"I don't dare." Xue Rengui led everyone to the sand table of the Han Dynasty's territory: "Everyone, please see, my Han runs through the whole area from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, if according to the letter, these rebels want to take advantage of the flood to start an incident, according to the ministers, they will definitely blow up the embankment at a key position, and we already know the location of the Yangtze River, that is, Your Majesty will lead the blowing up of the Jingjiang embankment, the location of the Yellow River?" Most of them blow up the embankment at Hukou, Sanmenxia or Xiaolangdi, once the embankment is blown up, it can form a natural defense line under the flooding, not to mention whether the elite troops can quickly and effectively form contact with the other side, I am afraid it is difficult to even ensure the food and grass of the army. ”

Qin Huaidao nodded again and again when he listened, Xue Rengui's words were exactly what he wanted to express, and on the basis of Xue Rengui, he added a few more points.

"Not only that, once the flood breaks out, I can't get through, they can't get over, they will take this opportunity to consolidate the territory, and I also need a lot of manpower to participate in disaster relief and flood fighting, so I think that we can help the disaster first, and then suppress the chaos."

"But if you let the rebels go unchecked and let them grow bigger and stronger, things will get out of hand." Wei Zheng looked suspicious.

Before the words were finished, he saw Qin Huaidao confidently stretching out his finger and pointing at the sand table: "Who said I let it go?" Here, here, and here, are all my means. ”

Seeing the places that Qin Huaidao was referring to, Wei Zheng was stunned and said, "Your Majesty means to send border troops into the court?" ”

"Exactly!"

The generals of the border army are all people who have a close relationship with Qin Huaidao, and they are either registered marshals or top ten generals, and it is natural for them to deal with the six-way bandit army.

"In that case, then we will obey Your Majesty's dispatch!"

It rained heavily for several days in a row.

Wei Shuyu had already quietly left Chang'an, and it was difficult to blow up the Jingjiang embankment without letting the Tianji Pavilion see that His Majesty had acquiesced, and it could not cause casualties.

There is no problem in the early evacuation of the people behind the Jingjiang embankment, the imperial court has dealt with the entire Yangtze River defense and the Yellow River defense in this way, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River have been evacuated in many places because of the advance order, and even if the dam collapses now, it will reduce a lot of losses compared with before.

Henan Province embankment section.

Feng Jizhang led a large number of government troops and river workers to work quickly, filled many sacks with a lot of sediment, and transported all of them to the embankment, just waiting for the flood to play its due role.

After many days of fatigue, the government army looked at the piles of sacks of the defense line, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and he looked at Feng Jizhang, the only old river worker on the embankment.

"Old Feng, do you say that these sacks of sediment can prevent the river water?" This Fu Jun looked very young, not even as old as Feng Jizhang's son.

Feng Jizhang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to block it, my son is also on the embankment, will I let him come and send him to death." ”

The young Fu Jun also smiled after hearing this: "Where is Feng Lao's words, we naturally believe Feng Lao, I heard that when Feng Lao followed Cheng Lao Marshal to fight, he was majestic and brave, and even the descendants of the Cheng family came to visit some time ago." ”

What he said was naturally that some time ago, when Qin Huaidao led a few people down to the south of the Yangtze River, they passed by here to see the riverbank.

Feng Jizhang still needs to rely on this to suppress these government troops at this time, otherwise with these guys with eyes above the top, how can they obey and follow the river workers for so long?

"It's all in the past, don't mention it, but you young people have a great future, and you need to do it well."

"With Elder Feng's guidance, we will naturally do a good job, the big guy said, didn't he?" The young government soldier waved to the colleagues around him, and the big guys all laughed happily.

This old man Feng hurts, they are convinced.

A small downstream town.

Grandpa Whitebeard took a little girl and followed the large group on the way to evacuate.

"Grandpa, the crops in the field have not been confiscated, when can we go back?" The little girl looked at her grandfather with wide eyes and curiosity.

Grandpa Baishu looked back in the direction of his hometown from time to time, and comforted the little girl from time to time: "Little man, when it doesn't rain, we can go back." ”

Little girl: "Then when will it stop raining?" ”

Grandpa Whitebeard: "This, it depends on God's will." ”

As early as a few days ago, the state capital received an order from the imperial court to evacuate, and by the time the news reached the county, and then from the county to the town, ten days had passed, and it was not allowed to rush to harvest grain in advance.

According to the meaning of the officials, the Yellow River does not know when the dam will burst, and if it still stays in the town, there is a chance that it will not survive.

It's just that this displacement, too, will cause a lot of people to die.

Some people fell ill on the way to evacuate, some people starved to death on the way forward, people died every day, and the food promised by the imperial court was not delivered for a long time, and I don't know when it will be the end.

"Let's go, let's go, get out of your own home......"

"Let's go, let's go, the rain will ...... again"

Some people sang sadly in the rain, and the low mood continued to spread, which also made the steps of the evacuated team heavier and heavier.

Scenes like this continue to be played out in various state capitals.

It stands to reason that the imperial court has even taken out military rations, and the food in the entire disaster-stricken area should be sufficient, but there are always some young people who deduct it here, and delay it there for a few days, resulting in always insufficient food.

This is happening in the county, which is in charge of the town's disaster relief food.

"Lord County, the relief food has arrived, I heard that the evacuated people have begun to die, and I still have to deliver the food and clothes as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the people."

The county chief was anxious, and if too many people died, it would be all their sins.

Seeing that the chief bookkeeper was about to forcibly distribute the food, the county magistrate mysteriously pulled him aside and whispered to him: "Don't worry, Lord Bookkeeper, if I wait a few days to distribute the disaster food, what will happen?" ”

The chief secretary said: "The evacuated people are probably going to die one out of ten, which will be an extremely terrible number according to the population of our county." ”

"Naturally, the dead no longer need food, so if you and I work together to sell the surplus food for silver...... I have heard that the price of grain has skyrocketed more than three times, so is it not tempting to have so much money? "The county order fanned the flames for him on the side.

"But the food has arrived, how can I make a fake?"

The county ordered: "Heavy rain, difficult mountain roads, a few days earlier or a few days later is also a common thing, the court will not pursue too tightly, as long as the food is indeed sent, you and I will not have a problem, how?" ”

The chief bookkeeper's face was blue and red for a while, as if he was fighting between heaven and man, and after a while, he saluted the county order: "Everything depends on the county order." ”
