The time has come to the middle of August, it is the hottest time of the year, Yuyang, yesterday just had a heavy rainstorm that lasted for several hours, so that the Yishui River water soared, the roaring river water swirled down, the muddy river water hit the river embankment from time to time, from time to time there was a piece of the river embankment was hit by the rapid river water, in the sound of the bang, the mud mixed with stones fell into the water, and a gap appeared under the embankment.

Gao Yuan stood on the embankment with his hands in his hands, looking at the rolling river, his brows furrowed tightly, this time he came to Yuyang because Qin Guotong Guò Sihai Commerce expressed his desire to negotiate, from the prairie into the river, and then crossed the Luliang Mountain, and finally arrived at the Yuyang Yishui River.

The catastrophe suffered by Yuyang filled Gao Yuan's heart with anger all the way, and for Lu Chao, he only had a four-word evaluation in his heart at this time, and he was mad.

But he had to admit that Lu Chao's hand was indeed in the middle of the Han State's soft threat, and the relief, relief, and rebuilding of the homeland would make the already weak economy of the Han Kingdom worse, Yuyang itself is one of the several major granaries of the Han Dynasty, and the price of food in the Han Dynasty is just going to rise this year.

Compared with opponents like Li Xin and Wang Xiao, Gao Yuan has more headaches for people like Lu Chao, because Li Xin and Wang Xiao, these older generation of military strategists, generally have room to act, and will not carry out large-scale massacres of the people, nor will they carry out large-scale destruction of the people's livelihood, but Lu Chao, a guy who does whatever it takes to fight the enemy, is much more difficult to deal with.

Because he has no bottom line.

At the beginning, he broke the town of Shannan because of Mrs. Lu's trust in him, and with guilt, he let Lu Chao go, but he didn't expect that ten years later, this person who was still a little bookish at the time would grow into such a monster today.

I'm afraid that there is also a share of credit for this!

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Gao Yuan's mouth, drinking and pecking, he has his own destiny, Lu Chao is probably God who came down to tribulate himself, how to deal with him, Gao Yuan still has not had a definite conclusion.

"I'm afraid this heavy rain will make it worse for the victims of Yuyang, right?" Gao Yuan glanced at Du Shenghao, the county guard of Yuyang, who was a native of Yuyang, and was one of the people who defected to Gao Yuan very early after being introduced by Jiang Jiaquan, originally a personable scholar, but now his beard was unshaven, his face was haggard, the hem of his official robe was raised, one corner was tucked on the belt, and the two boots were covered with muddy water, and even the robe could be seen with a little stain.

Hearing Gao Yuan's question, Du Shenghao nodded heavily, "God is not beautiful, this heavy rain is too untimely, most of the victims have not returned home, they are all living in temporary tents and shacks built by themselves, yesterday I ran a few settlements, many shacks were washed away by the flood, some of the victims near the river did not retreat in time when the flood came, there were many dead and injured, and some were buried in it because of the landslide on the mountain, and now the county is organizing people to dig it, even if they can't save people, Let's dig up the corpse too!"

"How many casualties?" Takato took a deep breath.

"According to preliminary statistics, the death toll has exceeded 100." Du Shenghao gritted his teeth, "Lu Chao, the turtle grandson, will not die well one day. Such an inhumane thing has also been done, and the king, that Yang Dasha is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, cowardly and avoids the enemy, and asks the king to severely punish him."

Gao Yuan shook his head gently, "Du Junshou, didn't Zeng Xianyi tell you?" Oh, by the way, you are a civil official, these martial arts, Zeng Xianyi did not tell you is normal, at that time Yang Dasha was correct not to send troops, because it was found afterwards that Lu Chao set a trap and ambushed a large number of soldiers and horses, if Yang Dasha went out of the city, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky."

"Is there such a thing?" Du Shenghao said in surprise: "Didn't the king excuse Yang Dasha, with Yang Dasha's temperament, if he was really wronged like this, how could he not beat his ministers violently, he was famous for being stupid and bold."

Gao Yuan smiled: "Yang Dasha is also from a bitter family, Du Junshou is concerned about the people, so he scolds him, how can he not understand?"

"Your Majesty will apologize to him the next time I see him!" Du Shenghao was silent for a long time.

"That's not necessary, maybe Yang Dasha has forgotten about this matter now, Yuyang disaster relief is not only a matter of your Yuyang County, the imperial court will allocate a large amount of money, food and all kinds of disaster relief materials to you here and will be shipped as soon as possible, this time the special war tax bill has been passed, and the imperial court has a lot more money."

"Thank you for your compassion for the people of Yuyang!" DU Shenghao.

"When one side is in trouble, all sides will support, not to mention that it is my duty as a king to let my people live a good life, and I didn't do it well!" Gao Yuan sighed, "This time the Qin State's attack was indeed greatly unexpected by me, fortunately, we won this battle after all, and it was a little better than the worst."

"Your Majesty, there's a ship coming from the other side!" He Weiyuan pointed to the much wider river and said loudly. It must be that Li Ru who is here."

"This old immortal has taught such a mad disciple, I will definitely scold him later!" Du Shenghao on the side puffed up.

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was amused even if he had a thousand sorrows in his heart, it seems that this time Yuyang's incident really completely changed this scholar who was originally indecent and incivil, and he was swearing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Gao Yuan coughed and rinsed: "Du County Shou, you go and get busy, Yuyang County is not only a natural disaster now, but also a natural disaster, with you busy, you don't have to accompany me here."

Du Shenghao was stunned for a moment, but thinking about what the king said, now Yuyang County is really full of things, it was the king who came up and had to come to Jin to see and accompany him, but it was not worth it to delay his precious time in order to scold Li Ru.

"What the king said is, I'm confused, I have time to scold this old immortal, I might as well do something practical, this old immortal!" Du Shenghao glanced sideways at the ship that was slowly approaching this side, snorted heavily, turned around and hurried away.

On the boat in the river, Li Ru sat on the bow of the boat, and there were two guards standing behind him, and on the side of the boat, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were waving their oars, trying their best to fight against the turbulent river, but despite their sweat and rain, the boat was still slowly drifting down. When he was able to dock, he was hundreds of meters away from the previously scheduled docking location.

Li Ru jumped off the bow of the boat with the support of the guards, stepped on the ground with both feet, and felt a little dizzy in his head, and his feet were also a little fluttering, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was old, he walked the world by himself a few years ago, crossed mountains and rivers, what wind and waves have not been encountered, how could there have been such a river, and he would feel dizzy?

Someone from the Han Kingdom had already greeted him, "Everyone Li, please!"

After walking forward for a distance, Li Ru's somewhat presbyopia eyes finally saw the figure standing on the embankment, and he was taken aback, the Han side only said that he would meet and talk with him on the bank of the Yishui River, and did not explain the candidate for negotiation, he originally thought that it was not his junior brother Jiang Jiaquan who came, it would be Yan Shenghao, another important figure in the Han State of Politics, but he didn't expect that it was Gao Yuan himself.

Gao Yuan turned around, looked at him in the distance condescendingly, and nodded slightly.

Li Ru hurriedly walked in front of Gao Yuan, clasped his hands into fists, and slammed them to the ground: "Li Ru has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

"No need!" Gao Yuan waved his hand and said: "Mr. Jiang is also a teacher and friend to me, you are Mr. Jiang's senior brother, I can't afford your big gift."

"Definitely!" Li Ru said: "It is not Jiang Jiaquan's senior brother Li Ru who is here to negotiate with His Royal Highness the King of Han today, but Li Ru of Great Qin."

Gao Yuan nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll accept this gift. Mr. Li Ru, please come up, the scenery here is good."

"If you stand taller, you will naturally see more scenery, but if the foundation stone under your feet is not solid enough, it is easy to fall very badly, Your Royal Highness King Han, the embankment under your feet is collapsing!" Li Ru smiled and walked to Gao Yuan's side, looked at the surging river, and said.

"Li, everyone said it well!" Gao Yuan nodded, "It was my decision to set the negotiation location on the banks of the Yishui River, do you know why?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Han has always acted unexpectedly, but he should ask for advice." LI Rudao.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at Li Ru: "When I was still a small Fufeng County Lieutenant, I was ordered by Dayan Ye Xiang to lead troops to fight here to fight Zhao Guo, at that time there were only hundreds of soldiers around me, Ye Xiang back then, haha, of course, is also my future father-in-law, must think that I am dead."

"For that sentence, when I have long hair and waist, will you marry me?" Li Ru laughed, "That's a famous sentence that has been recited for a while, and I don't know how many crazy children and crazy girls have gone crazy?"

"It was the most sinister battle of my life." Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at the surging river, "At that time, Zhao Guo was still a behemoth for Yan Guo, with the powerful Zhao Jun in front of him, but there was a suspicious boss behind him, and by my side, there were only three hundred brothers who were born and died with me. At that time, I really didn't have any bottom in my heart."

"But then you won." Li Ru said lightly: "It is precisely this battle that made you stand out, and since then you have embarked on a green cloud avenue, which is why you are now."

"Qingyun Avenue?" Gao Yuan laughed, "It is precisely because the original battlefield of Yishuihe means a lot to me, so I put this negotiation here to tell myself, no matter how strong I am now, don't forget the original like thin ice, no matter what you do, you must be as careful as if you are on the edge of the abyss, trembling, step by step."

"Well said!" Li Ru looked at Gao Yuan, clapped his hands and praised: "No wonder His Royal Highness the King of Han has his current achievements, this mentality alone is not something that ordinary people can have. Your Royal Highness the King of Han, I think we can start now, right?"

"You can start anytime!" Gao Yuan laughed, "It's on the bank of this Yishui River, just on the side of this surging river, let's have a good talk about this time!"

(Thanks to the blessings of the brothers and sisters, my mother's condition is still very smooth, after the operation has been a chemotherapy, my mother is very strong, although I have been vomiting for two days after chemotherapy, I can't eat, but my mother still tries hard to insist on eating, she said that she would rather eat vomit, but also have to eat, so that she has the strength and nutrition to recover, among their group of patients, mother's recovery is the fastest, and she is also the oldest, and now she has been discharged from the hospital to recuperate, waiting for the arrival of the second course of treatment.
