It rains continuously, the river water swells, and the river is surging outside the city, and the newly built embankment is completed before the rainy season, so that the river can be blocked out of the city in time, but even so, Xu Shao, the county guard of Quan Xunyang, still does not dare to take it lightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He is young and energetic, even if he walks around the city and outside the city every day, he is not tired, at this moment, Xu Shao is standing on the river embankment in his clothes, listening to the officials in charge of the safety of this section of the river embankment report the water situation.

He and his officials managed the river in an orderly manner, organized the people and the garrison to take turns to guard the embankment, and in case of danger, they had to immediately plug the mouth, and they had to do their best to protect the river embankment no matter what.

If a large area of farmland outside the city is flooded, it is very likely that the harvest will fail or even be wiped out this year.

With the experience of water control in Xiyang County and Badong County in Huangzhou, Xu Shao is very confident in maintaining the embankment of the Huangkou River, and nearly eight years of experience as a state and county official has made Xu Shao able to handle all kinds of complicated affairs in Huangkou City.

"Is the water still rising?"

"Yes, it looks like it will have to rise for a few days, but our newly built embankment can withstand it."

"It's still rising... What about the increase? Xu Shao stomped his feet vigorously, trying to see if the embankment under his feet was unstable, although he couldn't actually try it, but he had to stomp a few feet before he could sleep at night.

"The rate of increase has slowed down, and it is estimated that in about four or five days, the water level should fall."

Xu Shao nodded when he heard this, these officials were all transferred by him from Badong County, and Xiyang County also transferred people to help, and he had accumulated rich experience in water control when he was in Huangzhou, and he knew the roots, so there was no situation of concealment and non-reporting.

Explained some precautions, Xu Shao braved the rain to return to the city, he has been very busy, and now he is even busier, not only to pay attention to the safety of the river embankment, but also to receive guests, four days ago there was a special status of the guest arrived in Huangkou, the origin is not small so that he is a little confused.

That is the Marshal of the Lingnan Road March, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen's distinguished guest, it sounds nothing strange, the key is that this distinguished guest is a woman, escorted by Sima Zhang Dingfa of Xiyang Palace, from Panyu all the way north to pass through Huangkou, and continue to advance upstream to Huangzhou Prefecture to govern Xiyang.

Xu Shao originally thought that this girl was a certain slang leader in Lingnan, after all, there was a respected Mrs. Xian in Lingnan, and it was not strange to have another female leader, but when he went to the house to meet the other party that day, he found that this girl spoke Chinese with a northern accent.

With a delicate appearance and a dignified temperament in her gestures, this girl seems to have seen a big scene, and she is graceful and generous, and her identity is really suspicious.

At first, he thought it was a confidante he met by Yu Wenwen 'by chance', but it didn't look like it, Xu Shao wouldn't inquire in private, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen asked Xu Shao to receive this distinguished guest in the letter, and arranged a boat to send the other party to Xiyang.

After Xu Shao entered the city, he did not go to the house, but went to the North City Tower, because in the past few days, the distinguished guest has to go upstairs to see the river view.

Zhang Dingfa of Xiyang Wangfu led people to guard the side of the Beicheng Tower, saw Xu Shao coming, and went upstairs together after greeting him a few words.

The daughter princess Yuwen sat by the window and looked at the river view, the wind was strong by the river but the wind was much lighter at this time, she turned her head, looked at Xu Shao and asked, "Xu Fujun, when can I board the boat and set off?" ”

"Girl, it's the rainy season, it's raining for more than a month, the river is surging, the water is turbulent and not suitable for boating, the lower official ordered the boatman to check the water situation today, and make sure that at least today and tomorrow can not sail."

"But aren't there many boats sailing on the river?" After the princess finished speaking, she looked out of the window again, and saw that in the mist and rain, there were many boats on the river approaching Huangkou from the upstream.

"Girl, that is the official army and soldiers, ordered to move from Jiangbei to Jiangzhou by boat, the military order is like a mountain, rain or shine, even if it is dangerous, it must arrive as scheduled."

"That's it..."Princess Qianjin looked at Jiang Jing outside the window and muttered to herself, as if she remembered something, and asked: "Xu Fujun, these soldiers and horses were transferred to Lingnan by the King of Xiyang, right?" ”

This kind of question, Xu Shao didn't know how to answer, it was impossible for him to reveal any tone to the idle people when it was about the military plane, not to mention that the other party should not be qualified to know this kind of thing, but he was a distinguished guest of the King of Xiyang, and it didn't seem good to refuse hard.

He was considering the words, but he caught a glimpse of Zhang Dingfa on the side and nodded slightly, so he had a plan in his heart: "Girl, Jiangzhou and Lingnan are newly attached places, and the distance between north and south is more than 2,000 miles. ”

did not say whether these officers and soldiers were going to Lingnan, but said that they were stationed in important places everywhere in case there were changes, and without revealing secrets, Xu Shao gave a vague answer.

Princess Qianjin nodded when she heard this, and asked again: "Is this the case in the rainy season in Jiangnan?" Can it rain for more than half a month? ”

"Yes, it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, this is the case in Jiangzhou, and the same is true in the Hanchu area upstream."

"What about the three Wus downstream? Is it raining all the time? ”

"It should be."

"Then the officers and soldiers are fighting in the rain, I'm afraid they won't be able to take Jiankang for a while, right?"

"Uh..." Xu Shaoyou glanced at Zhang Dingfa, and saw that he still nodded slightly, so he could only continue to answer vaguely: "As of today, Huangkou has not received the report documents." ”

Caring so much about military affairs, suspicious, this girl's identity is too suspicious!

Xu Shao thought so, but his face remained silent, and he continued to talk to the other party, he didn't think that the other party was Chen Guo's fine work, because someone who was working hard all day long, it was impossible to be deceived by the fine work.

After a while, Xu Shao retired, Zhang Dingfa left with him, and seeing that the palace Sima who had been wearing a straight face all day was gone, Agnès, who was standing by the side wearing a veil, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat down next to Princess Qianjin and asked with concern, "Qianjin, there's nothing uncomfortable, right?" ”

"No, I'm fine."

Princess Qianjin smiled, her complexion was much better than when she was in Panyu, the medicine prepared by Yuwenwen for her was very effective, she took it internally and externally for more than a month, the drug addiction never had an attack again, her spirit was getting better and better, and it could be said that she had completely quit the drug addiction.

"Daughter, this river is really wide, wider than the two rivers outside Tessie's city."

"This river is called the Yangtze River, which divides the Central Plains into north and south, and the north and south have been facing each other for hundreds of years, so it is also called the moat."

"But the King of Xiyang is already far away from the south of the Yangtze River." Agnès had a lot of questions, after all, this was a place called "Central Plains" in the far east, and many things seemed very interesting to her.

"The Central Plains, maybe it will be unified, and then it will no longer be divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties..."

Princess Qianjin looked at the misty rain outside and was a little distracted, she probably knew that it was not easy to fight in the rain, especially in the Yangtze River area, it would be very troublesome to rain heavily during the war, so that the progress of the official army attacking Jiankang, the capital of Chen Guoguo, would become slow.

The northerners are good at horseback riding, the southerners are good at boating, and the rivers and lakes will skyrocket on rainy days, which is conducive to the Chen army to organize defense, and the princess is worried that the Zhou army fighting in Jiangnan at this time may be offended.

But this has nothing to do with her, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen sent someone to escort her and Agnès to Yecheng, the identity of the princess has been kept secret, even when she arrives at Huangkou, except for Sima Zhang Dingfa of the palace, everyone else only knows that she is the guest of the king of Xiyang.

This situation will continue until Xiyang, Huangzhou, Jiangbei, and when she arrives, the princess will stay in Xiyang for a while.

Yuwen Wen made arrangements in advance, sent a messenger to set off in advance, and traveled one or two hundred miles a day to the capital to deliver the news, if according to the normal itinerary, when the princess arrived in Xiyang, Huangzhou, the envoy sent south from Yecheng also almost arrived in Xiyang.

When the time comes, I will know whether to hide my head and show my tail or put on a guard of honor to go to Beijing.

The princess was full of thoughts, and Agnès still kept asking: "Qianjin, does King Xiyang already have a wife?" ”

"Yes, there is a princess, what's the matter, you want to marry him?" The princess laughed narrowly after speaking, and Agnès shook her head like a rattle.

"He is so fierce to women, he will beat him when he says he will beat him, that princess must be very pitiful, right?"

Strange logic, Princess Qianjin shook her head with a smile: "King Xiyang has already arranged, when we arrive in Xiyang City, Princess Xiyang will receive us, won't you know when the time comes?" ”
