Chapter 53: The Mansion Will Fall (Thanks to Chu Yun for the Booklist)

Time, little by little. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the embankment, there is a busy scene.

All the carts, horses, cattle and cattle that could be used to pull the people were all requisitioned, even the carriages when Cheng Jia and the others came were also requisitioned, and then all of them were used to load sand and gravel.

All the soldiers drove all kinds of carts, horses, oxen, and even donkeys, or the animals that really had no strength to do so, and all of them simply carried sacks of sacks with their bare arms and feet, and transported a large amount of sand and gravel up and down the earthen embankment, and then unloaded it near the mouth of the embankment that might burst, some of the sand bags were used to fill the gap in the embankment, some of the sand and gravel were used to strengthen the embankment, and some of the sand and gravel were raised at the lower embankment according to the water level they calculated according to the public transport year, and built a flood control wall as quickly as possible.

In the tent on the hillside, Cheng Jia had been sitting at the table and asking Jiang Ze about Yun Mengze's various situations.

In this period of the Spring and Autumn Period, if it is purely relied on human defense, the population will be a mantis arm in the face of natural disasters at this point.

He wants to find another gap here, so that when the upstream rivers rush here, according to the flow speed and direction, and then find an optimal position to change lanes, change the direction of their downstream, especially the direction of Yingdu, as long as it can reduce some of the large water flow, the situation will be much better when it comes to Yingdu.

For the people of Yunmengze, they tried their best to keep their homes.

However, for Cheng Jia, as a right-hand disciple and the commander-in-chief of flood control this time, he also has to stand at a higher level to consider the flood peak and flood situation in the entire river basin of Chu State, so as to minimize the losses of the whole country, and Yingdu is naturally the top priority.

And Yunmengze was originally the largest lake and swamp formed by the two rivers of Chu and Hanshui.

However, in later generations, Yunmengze formed the Han River Delta due to the continuous sedimentation of sediment brought by the river and the Han River, so the scope gradually decreased, and finally became some scattered small lakes.

He remembered that there seemed to be a big lake next to it in the future, but now the Yunmengze area circled on the water meridian map did not appear in the famous Dongting Lake and its tributaries in later generations, only a big river ran through the entire Chu State, and now this side is still a sparsely populated swamp and no man's land in the Chu State, if he sent someone to dig this river embankment, and then introduce the water into the Dongting Lake, through the passage of the big flood peak, it should be able to quickly impact the formation of a new lake, as long as the water is released, it will also greatly reduce the pressure of the downstream flood peak.

Cheng Jia felt for a moment that this method was feasible.

Dayu's water control is also to change the blockage to sparse.

Why can't he take advantage of the situation to channel the flood so much after Dayu?

So he told Jiang Ze his thoughts, and Jiang Ze listened to them and asked for their opinions.

Gongyi hesitated when he heard this, "Dayu controls the water, and it is true that as long as he chisels an eighty-step opening, he will successfully release water in Longmen, but now in such a short period of time, where do we choose the right gap for water release?"

Jiang Ze knew the surroundings of Yun Mengze best, and when he heard this, his mind was running rapidly, and then he clapped his hands.

"What a brilliant idea, Lord Youtu! I know a place where the ground is low, and there is a small lake, and if the flood passes through it, it will not be so difficult tonight, if we now order a group of men to dig a hole quickly. ”

Cheng Jia held a quill pen in his hand and quickly circled the water scripture map, pointed to the location of Dongting Lake in the later generations and asked, "Is this the location?"

"Yes, yes, there is no man's land here, how do you know about it?"

Jiang Ze nodded again and again, and his worries were dispelled in front of his eyes, and he admired Cheng Jia in his heart, he had a right disciple like Cheng Jia in Chu State, which was really a blessing for the people.

He has been an official for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen the official of the dynasty take care of these things personally, and even the decrees issued by Yin every time are not necessarily all from him, they are all left to the people below to make a good decision, but many of the people below have mixed abilities, and the results are often good and bad.

He has been a county governor in Jiangxia County for so many years, and he has the most deep feelings about this point.

Looking at Cheng Jia's eyes, he couldn't help but be more trusting.

Cheng Jia was more sure of his thoughts in his heart, perhaps inadvertently that the disappearance of Yun Mengze in the later generations had something to do with the formation of Dongting Lake, so he immediately ordered, "Okay, immediately mobilize five thousand people, and we will open a gap in the bend of the river to release water to this lake in the southwest direction." ”

Hearing this, Gong Yi wanted to stop it, "Lord Cheng, the diversion of the river is a big deal, you can't be so hasty!"

Jiang Ze disagreed, "Now that the flood is imminent, compared to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the counties near my Yunmengze, these are trivial matters, and it is no man's land over there, and instead of letting the flood wash away the no man's land, do you think it is better to wash away the royal city of Yingdu?"

The public was shocked when he heard this, and he had nothing to say, so he could only be ordered to make arrangements.

Cheng Jiayou was not at ease about the public loss, so he ordered Jiang Ze to personally lead people to lead the way, and Jiang Ze took people to supervise the matter without saying a word.

Due to the lack of manpower now, let alone the maids, as long as people are pulled out to fight the flood, regardless of men, women and children, Chen Huang walked in with a large bowl of clear soup and oligopoly, put it on the table and said, "Second brother, eat something and then continue, from morning to noon and now, you have not eaten anything! If you go down like this, let alone go back to Yingdu to see the lady, it is difficult to even go back, as soon as the flood comes, a wave can sweep you away." ”

Cheng Jia suddenly looked handsome when he heard this.

Did this kid listen to what he and Mi Huang said when they left at the end?

So a pair of faint eyes looked up at him, frowned and said, "The princess obviously just hopes that I can successfully stop this flood, don't talk nonsense everywhere." ”

"Oh, yes? Okay, second brother, I see. ”

Chen Huang's eyes flashed with a fine light, he glanced at Cheng Jia's red ears and handsome face, and nodded calmly.

In his heart, he was more sure of Qingqing's guess.

The second brother obviously explained that the more he covered it up, he heard it on the sidelines, and he quibbled.

Cheng Jia didn't say much, he was busy all day and didn't eat the granules, and now when he saw the hot noodle soup on the table, he realized that his stomach was extremely painful, so he didn't say a word and picked up a big bowl of noodles that couldn't be cleared anymore, and even didn't put salt in his stomach and sucked them into his stomach, and after eating, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach, and then took Chen Huang out to see the sky and weather conditions.

Now it looks very overcast, but fortunately it hasn't rained yet, so it's easier for them to carry it.

So he instructed Chen Huang, "Huang, the situation tonight is complicated, I can't take care of it so much, it is estimated that all the army will be on the embankment by then, you pay attention yourself, Qingqing is still waiting for you to go back and get married!"

Chen Huang's heart warmed when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Second brother, you too!" and then said, "By the way, second brother, I'll go and see the situation on the eldest brother's side, and tell him too." ”

"Well, go ahead, tell the eldest brother, don't let the sister-in-law and the child worry at home!" Cheng Jia bowed slightly.

How did the three of them come out together?

We have to go back together.

Chen Huang nodded, turned around and ran along the muddy road to Cheng Daxin on the riverside.

Soon Sun Shuao brought another good news, saying that their Iron Guard had also arrived in other counties, Cheng Jia finally felt a little more settled, and then looked at the busy people and soldiers on the river embankment in the distance, and Daze without a trace, and couldn't help but feel in his heart: He has been in this world for almost twenty-two years.

Two thousand years of vicissitudes have filled the rivers and oceans into flat land.

And who in later generations will know that he has been to this land of great rivers like a dream, and has been to this country that has been constantly forging ahead and fighting in the swamp and the blue wisps of the road......

Bu Yin didn't know when he approached, looking at the young man standing in front of the main tent, but the figure that had become thin in a few days, a face that was so ordinary that Pu Neng hung a trace of unbearability, and his eyes were worried about the future.

After a long time, he finally said quietly, "Lord Right Disciple, maybe I have to tell you a bad news, in the evening, Yun Mengze is about to usher in an unprecedented heavy rain, endangering my Chu country. ”

The mountain rain is coming, and the building will fall.

Who can turn the tide?

As soon as Bu Yin's words fell, the dark clouds on the horizon suddenly let out a roar and roar.

Then there were silver snakes dancing in the sky.

Rumbling thunder, deafening.

Everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing, and looked at the angry sky in fear, and the timid women and children had begun to cry one after another.

Cheng Jia's expression immediately changed, and he didn't say anything to Bu Yin, and immediately said to Jiang Liu, "Quick, Jiang Liu, give me an order for all the flood control soldiers to hurry up their actions!" At the same time, he increased his speed to the fastest, ran down the hill quickly, and ordered people to run to tell each other.

On the embankment, all the flood control soldiers heard his notice and waved the red golden phoenix flag on their backs, "All in place, the rainstorm is coming, and the flood peak is about to cross!"

A small red order flag, like a red line with death, quickly builds a high wall of life along both sides of the riverbank.

The expressions of all the soldiers changed when they saw the red flag.
