Chapter 51: Leading by example

Song Fujian Road, a river embankment in Nan'an County, Quanzhou

Heavy rain for several days, the water of the Nan'an River swelled, thus breaking a section of the embankment located in the territory of Nan'an County, the rushing river water rushed outward along the gap, flowing in all directions, like a wild horse that got rid of the stiffness, pounced on the villages, fields, cities, many places in Nan'an County almost instantly became a country.

"At present, the most urgent thing is to immediately block the break!" Li Sanjian said loudly to Yang Zheng while taking off his cumbersome official robe that was soaked in heavy rain.

At this time, Li Sanjian has already "revealed" his identity, so there is no need to continue to wear cumbersome official robes.

"What Li Zhizhou said is that the lower officials will arrange it." Yang Zheng replied loudly.

Yang Zhengzi received the news of the river embankment bursting, and on the one hand arranged for the evacuation of the people, and on the other hand, he personally led people to plug the gap in the river embankment.

Yang Zheng took appropriate measures to minimize the loss, and at the same time, he was also exhausted and fainted on the embankment, but after Yang Zheng woke up, he immediately returned to the embankment and briefly briefed Li Sanjian on the situation.

Under the supervision of more than 100 Quanzhou soldiers led by Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, thousands of people did not dare to slack off, worked hard to dig the soil, quickly wrapped hundreds of cloth bags full of soil, and pushed down the river embankment together with countless stones, trying to block the breach, but how did it happen that it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and the river was only blocked for a moment, and then the blocked things were washed away without a trace.

Not only that, everyone only heard a loud "bang", the river embankment was washed down about a zhang, the river rushed out, and everyone suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, busy avoiding it.

At this time, the breach has reached about eight zhang, and if the breach cannot be quickly blocked, the entire section of the river embankment will collapse in an instant.

"Li Zhizhou, Li Zhizhou, Xia Guanwu... Yes... Unable... Unable... Yang Zheng then ran back in despair and said to Li Sanjian.

"Take the rope, the more the better." Li Sanjian didn't reprimand Yang Zheng, patted Yang Zheng's shoulder and commanded loudly.

"Li Zhizhou... You... At this time, Yang Zheng wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to speak, because Li Sanjian's face was extremely ugly and grim.

Suddenly, everyone was ordered to drag over a large number of ropes and pile them on the embankment.

"Take off your clothes!" Li Sanjian first took off his clothes, revealing the white flesh on his upper body, and then said shirtless to more than 100 soldiers such as Shankui and Xu Biao.

After receiving the order, more than 100 soldiers took off their clothes and armor together, and stood shirtless, some of them were fat and some were thin, among them, Shankui and Xu Biao were the strongest, and the pimple flesh on their bodies was black and bright. Xu Biao prides himself on being a little Langjun with fine skin and tender meat compared to Shankui, but compared with Li Sanjian, he is a small thing, just like coal and tofu...

Li Sanjian has always been healthy, and his body is relatively strong, but compared with Xu Biao and Shan Kui, it is not enough.

This doesn't know how they exercise? Could it be that it was brought from the mother's belly? Li Sanjian often thinks about it.

"The host... Let the mountain come ... You... At this moment, how could everyone not understand why Li Sanjian wanted to move? Therefore, Shan Kui said to Li Sanjian worriedly.

"Tie the rope to this officer!" Li Sanjian ignored Shan Kui, pushed Shan Kui away, and ordered loudly: "Everyone tie ropes." ”

When the enemy is brave, he is the first soldier, he leads the civil and military forces, he takes the lead in the soldiers, and destroys everything!

In this way, Li Sanjian must be the first soldier to stimulate morale, otherwise with the mountain first, it will not be able to motivate the morale of the people present to the greatest extent.

Shan Kui was helpless, took the rope and tied it to Li Sanjian, and pulled it hard to confirm whether the rope was strong.

The more than 100 people brought by Li Sanjian were all drawn by the gourd, tied the rope to the body, and handed over the end of the rope to the people's hands.

"This official is also from a poor background, how can he not know the suffering of the people?" Li Sanjian said slowly: "Eat the king's Lu, be loyal to the king, serve the people, and relieve the people's worries!" ”

Li Sanjian said, shouted, and jumped into the torrent amid the exclamations of everyone.

In fact, when Li Sanjian and others tied up the ropes, everyone was already prepared in their hearts, and at the same time, many people thought that Li Sanjian was just putting on a show to motivate and motivate morale.

The respect of a state, to risk his life, which has never been heard of in the past, in the past Quanzhou Zhizhou encountered similar things, are people in front of the mouth of the heroic people, but people are hiding behind, where are you willing to risk so much?

At this time, the six-rank member of the imperial court, the venerable of Quanzhou and a state, actually jumped into the torrent and blocked the breach with his body, how could it not cause an exclamation?

Even if the river is not deep, even if it has been tied with a rope, it is extremely dangerous.

"Master, Saburo!" Seeing this, Shan Kui and Xu Biao did not hesitate to follow Li Sanjian into the torrent.

Shankui is better, for the south, quite accustomed to water. And Xu Biao is an authentic northern man, completely a landlubber, and he is more afraid of water on weekdays, but how can he be afraid of water at this time?

Hundreds of Quanzhou soldiers also jumped into the water or walked down the river embankment to stand in a row with Li Sanjian, Shan Kui, and Xu Biao to block the flood.

"Li Fuzun sacrificed his life to be in danger, why should we regret this body?" At this time, Yang Zheng was already in tears, turned around and raised his arms and shouted, and then jumped into the torrent with all his might.

"We are willing to go with Li Zhizhou and Yang Zhixian!" 49 eBooks

The two state and county magistrates took the lead in blocking the water with their bodies, and the remaining county officials and people suddenly boosted their morale and jumped into the water one after another, forming a wall of flesh and blood with their bodies to stop the raging flood.

"Yang Zhixian, no!" Li Sanjian, who was standing in the torrent, saw that Yang Zheng was about to jump into the water, so he hurriedly shouted.

But at the same time that Li Sanjian opened his mouth to stop him, Yang Zheng had already jumped into the torrent.

When the human wall slightly obstructs the flood, when the soil is filled and the dam is built immediately, the breach on the embankment can be completely filled, so at this time, someone must coordinate and organize on the embankment, and Yang Zheng is the most suitable candidate, but at this time Yang Zheng has also jumped into the torrent, which makes Li Sanjian, who was washed away by the flood, secretly angry in his heart.

At the place where the embankment burst, the water flow is unusually turbulent, but fortunately, the river is not deep here, and the flood is only under Li Sanjian's neck, and at the same time, the soil bags and stones that were thrown down the embankment before have not been completely washed away by the flood, and many of them are still paved underwater, so that Li Sanjian and others can stand firm.

At the same time, this is also the reason why the river is not deep.

But even so, such a turbulent river still rushed Li Sanjian to the ground, and was washed away by the river.

But fortunately, Shankui and Xu Biao, two big men like black towers, protected Li Sanjian from left to right, and grabbed Li Sanjian's two arms, making Li Sanjian feel more and more stable.

At this time, Li Sanjian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf, it should be something underwater that cut Li Sanjian's calf.

"Fill in the earth, build embankments! Fast, fast, no delay! Li Sanjian then shouted loudly to the people on the embankment, despite the severe pain in his legs.

At this time, the rushing flood has been slightly blocked by the human wall, and the river is turning in place, forming a whirlpool, so this is the best time to fill in the soil and build embankments.

Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! Therefore, Li Sanjian was extremely anxious.

In fact, Li Sanjian's worries are superfluous, at this time, the remaining county officials, people, etc. on the river embankment have been busy all night, where do they not know what to do at this time?

Therefore, the remaining people on the embankment began to dig without Li Sanjian's instructions, carrying stones, branches and other things, and even some clever people even brought a lot of door panels from nearby farmers to block the breach.

"Be careful!"

"Tree, tree!"

"Stop it!"

"Get out of the way!"

Just as Li Sanjian and other people who jumped into the rapids were struggling to persevere, and when the people on the embankment were busy, several people standing on the embankment noticed a big tree that had been broken by the flood floating on the river not far away.

The width of the big tree was about the thickness of a gong, and it floated rapidly towards the gap along the rushing river, and rushed towards Li Sanjian and the others in a daze, and it was directly facing Li Sanjian.

Such a thick branch, coupled with the speed of the water, if you hit a person, you will definitely die, even if you don't die, you will be seriously injured and sink into the water, and you will be dead without a body, and you won't even be able to find the corpse.

The people on the embankment panicked and found several long bamboo poles, stood on the embankment, and kept stretching out the long bamboo poles to poke the branches, trying to stop the branches or make them change direction.

But the strength of the thick branches and the speed of the torrent is so great that the bamboo pole either can't touch the branches, and even if they do, they can only pause for a moment, and then rush down, and the recoil force overturns several people, and some people are even pushed into the river.

My life is at rest! Li Sanjian looked at the thick branches that were getting closer and closer, and closed his eyes in despair.

Standing in the torrent, Li Sanjian and the others, who formed the human wall, were already exhausted at this time, and they couldn't avoid the branches at all.

Even if you are in good spirits, how can you dodge it when you are in the torrent? At most, it's just a few dying struggles.

"San Lang, dodge, dodge, be careful!" Xu Biao yelled in a hurry, but Xu Biao's water ability was too poor, and it was difficult for him to stand firm in the water, so he was powerless at this time, so he could only desperately drag Li Sanjian's arm towards him, trying to avoid the impact of the thick branches.

At this moment, Shankui roared, strode forward, blocking Li Sanjian's body, and at the same time clenched his hands into fists, and roared angrily, slamming into one end of the thick branch.

One end of the branch was stressed, and the other end suddenly warped, and then a 180-degree rotation, and a "whew" flew over the heads of Li Sanjian and others.

The huge impact caused a trace of blood to flow from the corner of Shan Kui's mouth.

"Good divine power!"

"Oh my God, he... He's a god descending from heaven, right? ”

At this time, the people up and down the embankment were stunned for a moment, and then immediately let out a burst of cheers and exclamations.

Everyone only knows that Xu Biao is brave, but how can they expect that Shankui is even better, and such a person with extraordinary divine power can have.
