Chen Huanzhi, the former Marquis of Wuxuan of the Tang Dynasty, showed a rare sense of relief on his long-suppressed face when he learned that the Son of Heaven led his troops to personally rescue the disaster.

"Hmph, everyone in the world is equal, Qin Huaidao, Ben Hou wants you to see, everyone in the world is equal in your mouth, can you make it? Although many Tang Dynasty relics have withdrawn from the imperial court rule, but the former prestige is still there, as long as they wave their hands, they can attract a large number of people, and now Chang'an City is empty of air defense, if I contact these Tang Dynasty relics to take advantage of the void, how should you deal with it? ”

After the conspiracy sneered, Chen Hanzhi quickly sent people out of Yongning Fang and rushed towards the former old residence.

Qin Huaidao took Li Chunfeng, Luo Wu, Luo Zhang and others out of Chang'an, and went straight to Sanmenxia.

Judging from the map, if you march from here to Sanmenxia, you can reach it in ten days, but this flooded road may not be easy to walk, but fortunately, Li Chunfeng is there, he pointed out a convenient road to Qin Huaidao, so that it can quickly lead to Sanmenxia.

The army carried a large number of sacks and simple wooden boats, and when they encountered a serious disaster on the way, Qin Huaidao would also send people to rescue them by wooden boats, and then take the people along the way to hide on the high ground and distribute food to ensure that they could survive the disaster safely.

By the time they arrived in Puzhou, the place was already full of floods, and it was difficult to see a disaster-free place, and a large number of people were hungry and headed south, and under the heavy rain, some of these people still had high fevers, and some simply lay on the side of the road, and had completely given up.

After the vanguard army found these people, they quickly reported to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao personally walked into the midst of these people and asked them about the current situation with concern.

"Folks, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I know that everyone is suffering from the difficulties of the Yellow River, and I have specially led a large army to come to the rescue, you can rest assured, with me, I will never let anyone die, where is the military doctor? Heal these people! ”

"No."

At this moment, an old man stretched out his hand weakly and motioned for Qin Huaidao to listen to him, and his voice became insignificant because he had not been able to eat for a few days.

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness, it's just that I left my hometown, and I couldn't collect the grain in time, and now I have no rice to eat, even if I have Your Majesty's relief, how many more days can I live? Your Majesty, don't waste food. ”

"Why did my husband say this?" Qin Huaidao was puzzled: "I have already distributed supplies to the banks of the Yellow River in advance, and issued an order to evacuate the people in advance, why is this still the case?" ”

The old man shook his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, although the sacred heart is good, but you can't stand the greed of the officials below, Your Majesty sent grain to the states and counties along the Yellow River, I have heard about it for a long time, but these grains can't reach our hands at all, Puzhou Mansion Yin Pushi Town, deliberately delayed the evacuation order, so as to kill more people, so as to swallow the relief grain, we are on the way to escape, I don't know how many people we saw drowned in the water, we are not drowned, I am afraid that we will be starved to death on the road." ”

Qin Huaidao was extremely shocked when he heard this.

How dare these officials be so corrupt?

Luo Wu on the side was even more incredulous: "How is this possible?" Puzhou is not far from Beijing, no matter how bold this person in Pushi Town is, he will never dare to swallow the food for disaster relief. ”

The old man's face showed a sad face: "We and the grass people naturally know Your Majesty's kindness, and besides, the content of the Chang'an Daily, there are also readers and we have told that the grass people are dedicated to the saints, and today I can see Your Majesty with my own eyes, and I already feel that this life is in vain." ”

"But Your Majesty's kindness was embezzled by these dog officials, and there is also a reason."

"The grass people heard that the flood of the Yellow River is a divine punishment from heaven, and His Majesty took the Han and replaced the Tang Dynasty, which is not in accordance with the will of heaven.

"Divine punishment?" Qin Huaidao raised his eyebrows, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been a rumor made by the guys in Tianji Pavilion, in order to build momentum for the future incident.

Of course, they will not do it when the flood occurs, the flood has stopped the Han army, and it has also stopped them, if it is Qin Huaidao, he will choose the time when the entire flood control is nearing the end, when the soldiers are tired and the people are tired, it is the weakest time for the Han Dynasty, if they start at the same time, they may be able to succeed in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that what they don't know is that the various armies of the Han Dynasty are not vegetarians, and it is impossible for him Qin Huaidao to be unprepared.

As long as Chang'an is not broken, sooner or later the group armies will rush to the aid of the Beijing Division, and no matter how many rebels there are, they will be self-defeating.

He didn't say much, but just thanked the old man: "Thank you for telling the old man, I have my own decision, as for the old man and the villagers, rest assured, I will leave enough food for everyone, you can take the food up the mountain to hide today, you don't necessarily need to travel a long distance, and when I block the Sanmenxia embankment, you can return to your hometown." ”

The highest flood peak of the Yellow River has passed, and all that remains is to block the dikes one by one and try to reorganize them.

After settling these villagers, he summoned Luo Wu to recruit the most trustworthy two hundred garrisons.

"I always feel that the crisis is coming, a few days ago, I ordered Momen to personally build these enhanced versions of the thirty crossbows, not only the range is longer, the power is greater, but also can shoot this special arrow, fall into the enemy army and produce an explosion, before leaving Chang'an, I ordered someone to bring two hundred sets from Momen, only these cronies can carry, Luo Wu, I will hand over this thing to you, don't make a mistake on a business trip."

"I understand." After Luo Wu took the enhanced version of the thirty-repeater crossbow, he knew its effect after a little observation, and he was overjoyed, picked up one and tried firing it.

The bow crossbow is divided into a crossbow, an auxiliary shooting path and three different arrows, two of which can be fired with an ordinary crossbow, one is an ordinary arrow, and there is no difference from the previous one, one is a reinforced arrow, when firing, you need to ignite the lead on the arrow, ignite the gunpowder, and the gunpowder is sprayed when in the air, which can help the arrow increase its range.

There is also an arrow with a powder tube on the left and right sides, which can explode when it hits, and the range is shorter than that of ordinary arrows, but it is much farther than throwing grenades.

With the enhanced version of the Thirty Repeater, the garrison will have a longer firing range, more powerful equipment, stronger security, and more flexible tactics in terms of tactics.

After feeling the benefits of this crossbow, Luo Wu was full of praise.

"Your Majesty, this thing is really amazing, I really don't know which master designed and made it, the soldiers have him, like a tiger with wings, not to mention the rebels of the Sixth Road, even if they come to the Sixty Road Ministers, they will not be instigated."

Luo Wu is by no means a boast, he is confident from the heart.
