Cai Yan is fine, when the earthquake happened, she had just finished weaving a silk and walked to the courtyard of the back house to play the piano, and the sudden earthquake made the city full of houses collapsing and the sound of people wailing, coupled with the tremor of the earth, it was really frightened to the face of gray hair.

Ma Yue ran all the way for nearly half an hour before arriving at Longxian, the northwest corner of the towering city was shaken, and disasters were everywhere inside and outside the city, many houses collapsed, and the ruins and broken walls were full of devastation. The mansion of the state pastor was the same, the front hall collapsed in half, Pei Juan was in the house to hand over some material transportation matters of the Lingshui Barracks with Sun Yi at that time, and was immediately smashed to the ground by the collapsed house, Sun Yi protected Pei Juan to the death, and many wounds were smashed on his body.

When Ma Yue arrived at home, Sun Yi had already been rescued, Pei Juan was not injured, but he was very frightened, and he grabbed Sun Yi's arm and worried that the man who had saved him would die.

At this time, a medical craftsman had arrived, and Sun Yi was not at risk of death, but he was injured and needed to recuperate for several months. Ma Yue and Pei Juan breathed a sigh of relief and comforted Cai Yan a little, and Ma Yue hurriedly went out again. He wants to take all the officials of the state pastoral mansion to put down all the affairs in his hands, and run around the city and outside the city to count the casualties, in fact, there is no need to count at all, whether it is Ma Yue or the small officials, they all understand, look at this situation, Liangzhou is finished.

The southwest corner of the city wall has been in disrepair for a long time and has been hit by wars one after another, and now it is unable to withstand the earthquake at all, crushing a large number of houses. Most of the cities in the Central Plains are built of blue bricks, Ma Yue directly lifted the bluestone slabs on the ground when he opened the canal in the palace, but only the border town in Liangzhou is a brick city, and the city that is closer to Sizhou is relatively 'safe' like Longxian is only a few blue bricks and soil, and it can't help but be shocked and struck at all.

In the final analysis, this is also the reason why the rebels led by Han Sui can easily enter Sanfu every time they raise troops.

There was no need for a ladder to attack the earthen city, and the dagger was nailed to the city wall and climbed.

Needless to say, Ma Yue walked back to the state pastor's mansion, dragged out a few undamaged cases from the ground and hurriedly convened his staff to discuss post-earthquake matters, and Jia Xu was the first to arrive. The old man hurried to the state and jumped off his horse and said to Ma Yue: "Envoy, it is roughly estimated that the people in the city have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and there are no less doctors, people's husbands, porridge sheds, and clothes. ”

"How's the barracks?" Ma Yue asked Jia Xu while looking at the aisle in the city to search for Yang Feng's figure, Yang Aruo went to Zhangjiachuan to investigate the situation and has not come back yet, he is a little worried that his brother is the family of the generals. Jia Xu took a breath, sat opposite Ma Yue's case, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper the residence of the medical craftsmen in and outside the city, but wrote seven or eight places in a moment, got up and handed it to the guard next to him and said to Ma Yue: "When the ground moved, the armored army was fighting, only three were too injured to survive, and two people were directly pressed in the house, and there were no other casualties, and the subordinates had ordered them to come over with winter clothes to help the people deal with the aftermath, and the big jacket was covered at night to sleep, not cold." ”

"Well, that's good." The guard followed Jia Xu's note and rode away, and Ma Yue asked the official beside him, "How many horses can you raise now?" ”

"Huizhou herd, more than 30 horses."

"Find some people, leave two horses, and the others will ride to the counties to see where the casualties are the heaviest, and where the city wall has collapsed except for Longxian." Ma Yue said as he saw Yang Aruo and Ma Teng at the end of the street riding fast after the wind. "Aru, how is Chuanli?"

"It's okay at home." Ma Teng's appearance was a little embarrassed, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Ma Yue: "There is no earth wall, wood can't crush people." However, the plank road outside the city gate collapsed, and there were many dead and wounded. ”

The plank road that wanted to stop Han Sui collapsed, and many people died. Ma Yue shook his head weakly, the plank road collapsed and could be rebuilt, but when people died, there was nothing. He has received so much bad news since the earthquake, there are dead people everywhere, there is news of houses collapsing and people dying miserably, I really don't know what good news can happen to make him calm down when he falls to the bottom.

Fortunately, with Jia Xu, a well-informed staff member in Liangzhou in the old place, by his side, a set of emergency measures consisting of reassuring the people, treating the wounded, building sheds, distributing property, and giving porridge and collars began to be implemented in Longxian in an orderly manner, so that there was no major chaos.

Compared with the situation in Longxian County, the horses from the counties returned one after another in the evening, and the news brought made Ma Yue almost vomit blood. The three counties of Hanyang were seriously damaged, and three or four out of ten people were killed or injured in various places. The problem is that Ma Yue doesn't have these things in his hands now, but there are hundreds of gold in Zhangjiachuan, and there is also grain in the treasury, but there is only grain in Longxian County, but it must be supplied for the war that may be caused later, and these things are reserved in each county, and the most important thing now is the aftermath measures.

Tanma who went to Anding-gun reported in the early morning, Anding-gun was slightly weaker, and the county commanders began to rebuild after the county guarded the message, and the situation was much better than that of Hanyang, which finally made Ma Yue's sad face a little lighter.

"If Anding County is less affected, then Northland County should be generally safe." It was early in the morning, and when the mood was a little relaxed, he felt a wave of fatigue welling up in his head, Ma Yue shook his head, Yang Feng observed the words and looked at the expression, and said: "Lord, it is better for you to rest first, let your subordinates do these things, you better enter the house first, such a big thing, the light and candle in the lady's room are still bright." ”

Ma Yue only thought of Cai Yan at this time, and while secretly feeling sorry why he didn't rest, he still had some indescribable feelings in his heart.

In the past, who would remember themselves like this?

"In that case, it is estimated that the news of the northern land will not come until early in the morning, and when the time difference calls me, you should also go and rest." Ma Yue said: "There are more things for us to do tomorrow. ”

Saying that, Ma Yue turned around and walked towards the mansion, but saw Jia Xu squatting on the ground with a tree branch to outline something, and when he heard Ma Yue's footsteps, he said without raising his head: "Envoy, there is something important right now, do you want to stick to the four counties until you are old?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Yue lowered his head and walked to Jia Xu's side, and in the light of the torch, he saw Jia Xu clicking a few points on the ground, with crooked lines drawn in the middle, and muttering something in his mouth, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What do you say?" ”

"Envoy, please see." Jia Xu still didn't look up, he felt Ma Yue standing beside him, and compared the branches and said: "This circle is Hanyang, and the top is stability, and the ground movement in Longxian County is the strongest, and stability is second." When his subordinates were young, they encountered a much greater movement in Liangzhou than this, and when Wuwei was ten rooms and nine empty, the surrounding counties had a very weak influence, and now they are also average. In this way, it can be known that if the ground movement is not the strongest in Hanyang, it is the second county of Wudu in Longxi, in any case, the warriors of Hanyang County, Pingxiang, and Hebei counties are not light, and the rebels can not defend it, at this time, the three counties must not be as peaceful as making Jun so peaceful, it is a good time for you to recover the lost land, how can you sleep peacefully to make the good time wrong? ”

"Wen He is saying to send troops while the disaster is blowing?" Ma Yue frowned, he didn't like this way of killing chickens and taking eggs, not to mention taking advantage of natural disasters to attack the enemy army and win, Ma Yue said: "In this season, even if you have the intention to send troops, you can't do anything, it is too difficult to persuade all over the country to send troops, the soldiers and horses in Longxian County are only a few thousand, throw away the number of rebuilt houses at most 800, what to use to send troops?" ”

The more the horses knew about the disasters in various places, the weaker the garrison, but the more their own soldiers and horses could not move lightly, he did not see how Jia Xu saw the great opportunity to regain the lost territory in such a tragic situation now.

"It's a subordinate gaffe, a subordinate gaffe." As soon as Jia Xu heard Ma Yue's words, he knew that the state pastor was wrong, wiped his face and raised his head and said: "Envoy, it is not to recover the lost land, but to recover the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are the land!" Far away, you now order the opening of the treasury to requisition the car, before dawn you can get more than 100 light cars, the horses are even more numerous, the treasury of the grain, winter clothes and animal skins, etc., today can be transported to the three counties, the distribution does not have to be much, the more people the better, there is no need to send troops at all, just run to the county seat openly, the subordinates are foolish, those rebel thieves will not love the people like a son like a king. So, hey, hey. ”

With a cunning smile on his face, Jia Xu said to Ma Yue: "The soldiers are not bloody, and I dare not say that I will recover Hanyang, but at least I can make the people of Hanyang understand that it is wiser to follow whose subordinates are more at ease and more attached to whose banner!" ”

Ma Yue's eyes also lit up, and even the sleepiness was swept away by excitement. Jia Xu is so right!

"Wen He is really talented, although the three counties are few, they add up to a lot, even if they can't be recovered, when the war resumes, the three counties will not be my enemy, if they can be recovered, according to the land of the three counties, they can compete with Song Jian! Without further ado, brother, you need to come forward and raise three hundred wagons and horses. Ma Yue clapped his hands excitedly and said: "If we want to do it, we will make a big one, mobilize 100,000 stone grain in four counties, and collect grain from all over the county, and don't favor one over the other!" When the horses that went to the two counties of Longxi in Wudu came back and determined the disaster, they sent chariots and horses to distribute money and grain to the people in the border counties. Spread the message to the stability and the northern county guard, and open the treasury to relieve the people. Tanma reported to the whole territory of Liangzhou outside the county, and the state pastor provided relief to all places, but the state government was powerless after all, and bothered the local leaders to help the people and resettle the displaced people. Then send the list to all places, and the people's hearts can be determined! ”

"San Lang, there is a popular will in this way, but can we bear this popular will?"

Facing Ma Teng's uneasiness, Ma Yue smiled, he knew that Ma Teng was worried about the upcoming war, but Ma Yue was not worried about it, as long as he had the will of the people, it was not terrible to lose one or two battles, not to mention that Ma Yue had another idea in his heart.

"Brother, Wen He has a sentence that has won my heart, I want the people of Liangzhou to know whose banner is more wise!" Ma Yue said steadily: "Ma Yuechu led Liangzhou, just to let us Liangzhou people understand that the Liangzhou pastor selected by the imperial court did not look away, and followed me Ma Yue, as long as I don't die, I will not let the people under my rule suffer!" ”
