Huan Ji directly ordered the men and horses of various troops to rush around and rescue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Huan Ji: "You are all the elites of Datang, Datang has spent a lot of manpower and material resources on cultivating you, I hope to ensure my own safety while saving people." ”
A squad of 1,000 members of the Tang Army set out, and each team was equipped with two accompanying doctors.
Due to the limited number of medical squads, Huan Ji requisitioned all the people who practiced medicine in and around Jingzhou.
The Tang army set off here, and Huan Ji and his entourage also hurried to Qizhou City.
Xue Donglin and his people are still insisting on strengthening the river embankment, and his insistence has given the people of Qizhou more time to flee for their lives.
When Huan Ji went to the embankment, she saw that many people were piling sandbags on the embankment.
All of them were dirty, and their eyes were red, and they could not tell who was the servant and who was the people.
Xue Fu searched for a long time but didn't find Xue Donglin and his wife, but Mrs. Xue saw him first.
Mrs. Xue was stunned when she saw Xue Fu, and hurriedly shouted, "Is it Xue Fu?" What about Brother Bao? "She gave birth to a child in middle age, and although her husband and people are important, her son is even more important.
When Xue Fu saw the old lady, he directly ran over and knelt down and said, "The young master is fine, don't worry, madam." ”
Xue Donglin also breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw a group of officials coming behind him.
They were dressed in official uniforms, and only the first few were wearing civilian clothes, but it was not difficult to see that they were all officials.
The most obvious is the woman at the front.
Xue Donglin asked, "Who are they?" ”
Xue Fu hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, master, they are the people of Lord Yushi, and the young master has been sent to Jingshi." ”
Xue Donglin had some doubts in his heart, he didn't ask about the evidence, and directly stepped forward and asked, "In the history of the governor of Xiaqi, how do you call a few people?" ”
Huan Ji had already asked the soldiers behind her to help build the embankment, and a few people around her followed.
Huan Ji replied: "I am Your Majesty's personal inspection of the imperial history, this time I went south to inspect the river embankment, and I happened to encounter this incident, Lord Xue can rest assured." ”
Xue Fumeng, isn't this Mrs. Yushi? Listening to her tone, she seems to be the imperial history? And who is that good-looking man?
Xue Fu is a righteous person, although his personality is straightforward, he is quite cautious in everything, he will not easily trust others, and he will do what he promises to do with his life.
This is also the reason why Xue Donglin handed over his son and evidence to him at a critical moment, Xue Donglin knew from Xue Fu's expression that Xue Fu had been deceived.
Huan Ji smiled and said, "Lord Xue, don't worry, your son has already asked someone to send him back to Jingshi, this is a letter from Jingshi's side." Huan Ji took out a letter from her bosom and held it on oiled paper.
Xue Donglin stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to take the letter, he stopped, he looked at the mud on his hands, and took it back.
He was wet and his hands were covered with mud, and if he stained the letter, he would miss something.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xue hurriedly took a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Lord Xue, and then took the oil-paper umbrella in the maid's hand from the side to cover Xue Donglin from the rain.
Xue Donglin was embarrassed to end the letter, opened the oil paper, and when he saw the envelope, his hand trembled, and it turned out to be his cousin's note.
The letter was written by Xue Dongwei, and the content was not short, but it was all nonsense.
Xue Dongwei first talked about Xue Donglin, saying that he didn't even tell his family about such a big thing, saying that he didn't treat them as family. Xue Donglin, who was talking nonsense and a long letter, was warm in his heart, and finally said that Bao'er was already on the way back to Beijing, so that their husband and wife could rest assured. At the end, a sentence was added, and it was obvious that the ink was added later. As for the woman in front of you, she was appointed by Your Majesty, and I am a good friend and a reliable person. But it is right to listen to her in all things, and remember not to offend her.'"
After reading the letter, Xue Donglin folded the letter, wrapped it in oiled paper and put it in his arms, and then looked up at the woman in front of him.
Xue Donglin really couldn't remember where the female officials in the imperial court came from, but he still saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Xue Changshi, knock to see Lord Yushi." ”
Xue Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he was afraid that his impulse would be entrusted to no one, when he saw the banner of the Qingzhou Mansion, he decided to believe this inspector of the imperial history after inquiring.
Mrs. Xue also wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Huan Ji.
Huan Ji said: "This is not the time to talk about this, my lord should talk to me about the situation on this embankment, and discuss the next matter." I have made an appointment with the people in Jingzhou for ten days, if the rain does not stop, the flood will be released one after another, and the other side will not dare to hold the water. Even if they didn't say what he said, they knew what they meant.
Xue Donglin thanked: "I'll just say, there is so much rain here, why does the river water not rise, it turns out that it is the help of Lord Yushi." ”
Huan Ji once again asked him not to be polite, Xue Donglin really didn't know who this woman was, and he complained in his heart that his cousin didn't write it clearly.
After they discussed, they continued to evacuate the people according to the original plan, and continued to strengthen the embankment. If the rain doesn't stop after five days, they will all have to retreat.
Huan Ji asked the Tang army to quickly evacuate the people, and asked them to assist the people to retreat to Gwangju, Jingzhou, and Luzhou respectively.
If the flood is discharged, the following states of Hong and Ji will be flooded.
Five days later, not only did the rain not stop, but it also rained even more, and Huan Ji asked Xue Donglin to inform them that they were leaving.
Xue Donglin knew that what he was doing was in vain, looked at the embankment he insisted on guarding, and led his wife into the carriage.
The Tang army escorted them and the people of the two states away, and ten days was too short.
The upstream flooded and they got stuck in the road because the roads were muddy.
More and more people were retreating, and they could only follow the flow of people and advance on foot, but fortunately this was already a safe area.
Wang Yuyang is in Jingzhou, and the flood discharge is a little bit, so the water level downstream is also slowly rising.
Water levels downstream are starting to rise, and evacuation is speeding up.
In some places, the Tang army has begun to use small boats, and the sailors are looking for living people on the boats.
There were collapsed houses everywhere, and at this time, the former prefect in Xuzhou was in a hurry, and the imperial court obviously learned about the situation in Qizhou sooner than they expected.
Because of the flooding of the Yellow River, their news was also blocked.
The imperial history of the imperial court has come down to investigate, and they want to frame others for this matter.
The first choice is, of course, Xue Donglin, Xue Donglin knows the most, and he must not stay. As soon as he died, the case of embezzlement of river workers would disappear. As for the casualties of the people, it is enough to say that he insisted on reinforcing the embankment, so that the people did not evacuate early. (To be continued.) )
