Chapter 1343: Great Water (2)
Yunqing took Qihao and Zao Zao to run twenty miles away in one go, and chose the highest mountain. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info The mountain road is not easy to ride a horse, so I put the horse down and went up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, I didn't go any further. Zao Zao then asked, "Dad, what's going on?" How did the good end withdraw the troops? β
By this time, the rain had already begun to lighten.
Qi Hao said: "I suspect that Yan Wushuang is going to flood Dongluo, so my father ordered a retreat. β
Zao Zao was startled, and after calming down, he said, "Ah Hao, this is just your guess, and there is no real evidence. Just because of his guess, the army retreated, and Zao Zao felt that it was too child's play.
Qi Hao said: "Eldest sister, have you ever thought that once the flood hits, we will all die." "The withdrawal of troops is nothing more than a toss and a little more time. But if life is gone, then there is nothing. Moreover, if the pillar of my father is gone, my mother and Liu Er will definitely be in trouble.
The jujube was silent.
Qi Hao said: "Zao Zao, you should learn from Ah Hao about this. At no time can you put yourself in danger. "If he was young, he wouldn't have retired because of Qi Hao's speculation. But now it's different, if something happens to him, the whole family may die. The burden on his body is heavy, and he begins to sacrifice his life.
Zao Zao nodded.
As he was talking, Yi Kun shouted outside the tent: "Lord, prince, the rain has stopped." β
The two lifted the curtain of the tent and saw that the rain had stopped. Zao Zao didn't blame Qi Hao, but said: "A false alarm." After speaking, Zao Zao said to Yun Qing: "Dad, do you want the army behind to stop retreating." β
Without waiting for Yunqing to speak, Qi Hao looked up at the sky and said, "No, once the reservoir is flooded, the army will all be buried in the belly of the fish if it does not retreat." At this time, the sky was still gray. It looks like it's going to rain.
Yunqing also thought like this: "If the hidden danger is not eliminated, the soldiers cannot be put in danger. "Anyway, the stakes are in hand, so there's no need to take risks.
Sathorn was also relieved to see that the rain had stopped. After reading the letter, he was always worried, but fortunately the rain stopped.
Seeing him like this, Li Heshun asked, "You won't believe the nonsense of the rebels, will you?" β
Sha Tong hesitated and said, "Master, although King Ming is brutal, he is not a person without a purpose. You said that he wanted this move to shake the morale of the army, and with the prestige of King Ming, he didn't need such a clumsy method at all. β
Speaking of which, Sathorn still believes in what is written in the letter. Li Heshun said: "I have already sent someone to the Laotao Dam, and we will soon know whether it is rumor-mongering." Li Heshun didn't believe that Yan Wushuang would do such a thing with no lower limit, but to be on the safe side, he still sent someone.
"I hope it's fake, too. β
Li Heshun never imagined that the people he sent out would be killed by Ge Cunxin before they left the city gate.
Half an hour later, it rained again. And the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is blurry and difficult to see two meters away.
Yun Qing stood in the camp tent and looked at the heavy rain outside, and said softly, "Ah Hao, I hope your guess is wrong. "If Qihao guessed correctly, then thousands of people would have died in vain.
Qi Hao knew what Yunqing meant, and hurriedly relieved: "Dad, we have already informed Li Heshun. Since this man loves his people like a son, he will certainly prevent this from happening. β
Yunqing didn't speak. That being said, he was almost certain that if his guess was right, then Li Heshun would not be able to prevent it from happening. I only hope that he can evacuate the people, and don't let those people die innocently.
When it was dark, all the 300,000 troops in the northwest retreated. It's such a big thing, and you can't hide it if you want to.
Sha Tong's face changed greatly: "Master, the scouts have found out, and the Northwest Army has retreated to twenty miles away. Master, King Ming really believed that the emperor would flood Dongluo. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have let the army withdraw twenty miles away.
Li Heshun's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Why haven't the people we sent out come back yet?" "The old peach dam is enough to ride back and forth from the county seat for half a day. But now, half a day has passed, and the person has not returned.
Sha Tong remembered Ge Cunxin's incident and said, "Master, could it be that Ge Cunxin stopped me." β
When Li Heshun heard this, he immediately went to find Ge Cunxin. After knowing that the people he sent were killed by Ge Cunxin.
Ge Cunxin sneered: "It's just a letter against the king, and I suspect that the emperor is coming." "What is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, these scholars are all boneless things, and they surrender as soon as the anti-king arrives.
Li Heshun was so angry that he wanted to kill Ge Cunxin, but at this time, he could only endure his anger and said: "The rebel army of 300,000 has retreated, don't you think it's abnormal?" We'll send someone over to take a look. Seeing that Ge Cunxin was unmoved, Li Heshun said: "You don't care about the life or death of the people in the city, don't you even care about the life or death of tens of thousands of soldiers under your hands?" β
Ge Cunxin snorted coldly and said, "Speaking of which, you are doubting the emperor." I'm telling you, the emperor would never do such a thing. β
Li Heshun was stunned, he originally believed that Yan Wushuang would not do such a hurtful thing. But now that the Northwest Army has retreated, he can't help but think about it: "Just send someone to confirm." β
Ge Cunxin was unwilling. He felt that sending someone to confirm it was a betrayal if he didn't believe in the emperor.
Yan Wushuang would send Ge Cunxin to lead the elite troops to guard Dongluo County, just because he took a fancy to his brain. Ge Cunxin is his diehard, and he doesn't believe what others say.
Now that the entire county is controlled by Ge Cunxin, Li Heshun can't do anything he wants.
Back in the house where he temporarily lived, Li Heshun said: "I hope all this is a conspiracy of King Ming." If it is true, the consequences are beyond his reach.
Sathorn was so worried that he was going to die: "Master, let's go to a high place!" "Yan Wushuang, that's extremely ruthless. If a great flood could drown the anti-king and the 300,000 army, he believed that Yan Wushuang would definitely do such a thing.
Li Heshun is ready to go out. It's not that I want to go to the high places, but I want to go to the old peach reservoir. It's a pity that he can't get out. Ge Cunxin sent his henchmen to put him under house arrest.
Yunqing, Qihao and Zao Zao were all in the tent, and no one could sleep at this time, waiting for news.
Yi Kun brought dinner in, and saw that none of the three of them moved their chopsticks: "The prince, the prince, the lord of the county, no matter how anxious you are, you have to eat!" β
Qi Hao nodded and said, "Dad, let's eat first!" Ruoyan Wushuang is really ready to flood us, I'm afraid that we will need to clean up the aftermath at this time. Of course, it would be better if his guess was wrong, a false alarm is better than a tragic death of so many innocent people.
Zao Zao also felt that this was right: "Dad, eat it!" Only when you are full can you have the strength to do things. "Yan Wushuang lost all the evil things he had done in his conscience, but he asked them to wipe his buttocks, which was unpleasant to think about.
Halfway through the meal, I saw Lu Bai running in and said to Yunqing: "Lord Wang, big water, it's really big water...... When he said this, Lu Bai's face was blue and he was frightened. Almost, almost 300,000 of them died in the belly of the fish.
After saying this, Lu Bai looked at Qi Hao, and his eyes were full of admiration. The prince is so powerful that he can actually understand Yan Wushuang's conspiracy. Well, the prince is as powerful as the princess.
The chopsticks in his hand fell on the table, Yun Qing stood up and asked, "What did you say?" Is it really flooding? "He let the army retreat, just in case. Anyway, they will take it down sooner or later, so there is no need to take risks.
Lu Bai nodded and said, "It's true, the outside of Dongluo City has been flooded by water at this time. The brothers who came to report the news were all scared into a cold sweat. "Anyone would be scared half to death. It's just a matter of dying in battle, they're ready. But you can drown in the water, but you can't find the corpse!
Yun Qing slapped the table heavily and scolded angrily: "It's really a loss of conscience. "It's a shame that he said before that Yan Wushuang is the heir of the Yan family and will not do anything that hurts the heavens and reason. As a result, reality slapped him in the mouth.
The jujube was also blown up, and he scolded angrily: "It's really shameless to use such a shady method to beat it." "If the soldiers and horses of the court are powerful and kill them to the ground, she won't have any. It is ******really shameless to use this method.
Qi Hao was very calm, and said to Yunqing: "Dad, it is easy to cause plague after the flood, and when the flood recedes, I will stay and deal with the aftermath!" "It didn't do much for him to go along, but he could do a lot of things by staying.
Yunqing hesitated.
Zao Zao was not happy: "Ah Hao, you also said that there will be a plague after the flood. Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to stay? Hao, leave this to someone else! β
Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Eldest sister, as long as you handle it properly, you won't make a plague." After speaking, he turned to Yunqing: "If we handle this place properly, it will be very beneficial to stabilize the people's hearts." "Yan Wushuang flooded Dongluo County, but they rescued the people here, and people with normal brains know who is reliable.
Yunqing hesitated to stay, but still agreed: "Ah Hao, it's very good that you are willing to stay and help the disaster victims here, but you can't put yourself in danger, you know?" β
Qi Hao nodded heavily and said, "Dad, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger." β
Qi Hao acted in a measured manner, which is why Yunqing would agree. If it was a jujube, he would definitely refuse.
Yun Qing said: "I will leave some food and medicinal herbs behind. What is missing is to write to your mother and let her figure out a way. "The victims are important, but the soldiers are even more important.
Qi Hao said: "Dad, now that it's getting late and the water hasn't receded, we can't do anything. Dad, let's finish the meal! "It's not that Qi Hao is big-hearted, but that things have happened, and no matter how anxious they are, they can't change it.
Yunqing was in no mood to eat at this time: "You guys eat, I'll go out." "He will consult with the other generals about this.
Zao Zao didn't leave, but followed Qihao to continue eating, and at this time he didn't pay attention to food and didn't say anything.
"Ah Hao, you are amazing. If it weren't for your insight into Yan Wushuang's conspiracy, we would probably be dead. "With such a powerful younger brother, Zao Zao is proud.
Qi Hao let out a rare sigh and said, "I'm just on guard, who would have thought that Yan Wushuang would really be so mad." β
Zao Zao couldn't understand either: "Ah Hao, you said that if he did this, wouldn't he be afraid of leaving a stench for thousands of years?" β
Qi Hao felt that Zao Zao was very naΓ―ve, and said: "If his plan succeeds, then Dad and we and our 300,000 troops will all be drowned." In this way, he can continue to be his emperor and not flee to Liaodong like a lost dog. β
Zao Zao said hatefully: "When I catch him in the future, I will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces, and then throw him to feed the dogs." After speaking, Zao Zao said: "Such a black-hearted person is also suspicious of dogs." β
Qi Hao smiled and didn't echo the words of the jujube. What the future holds, no one can say.
The arrival of the flood made Li Heshun fall into despair. He didn't expect that what King Ming said was true, and the emperor really flooded Dongluo.
"It's all my fault, and if I had believed it, it wouldn't have happened." If he knew that what King Ming said was true, he would definitely stop it.
Sha Tong saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Master, it's not your fault, it's Yan Wushuang who did such an evil thing that lost his conscience." "The emperor didn't call anymore, and directly called him by name and surname.
Li Heshun slammed the table vigorously and scolded: "The faint monarch misunderstands the country, the faint monarch misunderstands the country!" "The people of Dongluo County and those soldiers have become victims of the conspiracy.
After scolding, Li Heshun stood up and said, "I can't wait here, I have to do something." "Otherwise, he won't be at ease when he dies.
Shatong hugged him and said, "Master, you can't go to death!" "Now it's dark outside, and there is water everywhere, and my lord is killing himself when he goes out.
The water receded in the middle of the night, and at this time, Sathorn did not stop Li Heshun from going out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Ge Cunxin. Li Heshun looked at him, his whole body was on fire: "If it weren't for you, the people in the city would not have died innocently and tragically." β
Ge Cunxin is loyal to Yan Wushuang, but he is also a person with a conscience. Hearing this, Ge Cunxin said: "I didn't know that the emperor would do this. When he said this, Ge Cunxin didn't dare to look at Li Heshun.
When the water arrived in Dongluo County, the turmoil in Ge Cun's faith was so shocking that it could not be known to others.
When Li Heshun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! Who knows? If I knew, I would rather surrender to King Ming. "If you surrender, the emperor's conspiracy will not be realized.
If Ge Cunxin had heard this before the great flood, he might have killed Li Heshun immediately. But now Ge Cunxin didn't move, just said: "I'm going to leave Dongluo County with the rest of the soldiers and horses now, do you want to go with me?" "Obviously, the emperor asked him to guard Dongluo County, and he also used him as cannon fodder.
Li Heshun shook his head and said, "The people in the city still need me, and I can't go with you." "Such a faint king, he would rather die than serve anymore. It's just that there are some things that everyone knows, and there is no need to say them.
Ge Cunxin didn't force it, and said, "Master Li, cherish it." With that, he turned and left.
If there is a choice, Ge Cunxin is reluctant to go back. He was willing to die for Yan Wushuang, but Yan Wushuang's use of him and his brothers as cannon fodder made him feel cold. It's just that his wife and children are all in Liaodong, and he can't let go.
Li Heshun nodded, but did not speak.
