Wu Yanzhi returned to the Luozhou Mansion and asked people to call the left and right Jinwuwei Zhonglang who helped in the disaster relief.

One is surnamed Zhao and the other is surnamed Yang. The duty of the left and right Jin Wuwei is to be responsible for the maintenance of law and order on all the streets of Chang'an and Luoyang, and the security in the imperial city and the palace city are also under their control, that is, day and night patrols.

Of course, the security in the palace is mainly carried out by the left and right prison guards who are responsible for the protection of each palace. The emperor's bodyguards, as well as the left and right guards, the left and right thousand cow guards, etc., as well as the Beiya Forbidden Army.

Wu Yanzhi told them about his concerns and asked them to step up inspections. Originally, Wu Yanzhi couldn't control Jin Wuwei, but now that they have been transferred to flood control, they can temporarily command them.

Because after nine o'clock in the evening, the only people who can go to the street are the left and right Jin Wuwei, and they are the best to supervise the flood situation in Shangyang Palace.

When they heard this, they also felt that the more flood prevention measures were in place, the better.

However, in their opinion, it is not a big problem, after all, Wu Yanzhi has rebuilt a bridge in the west of Shangyang Palace two years ago, and the people in the palace are still relatively safe.

Not only that, Wu Yanzhi, in the name of the ambassador of the Dugi Disaster Relief, sent a letter to the general of the left and right guards who were in charge of the guards of the Shangyang Palace, and the internal affairs of the Shangyang Palace, temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Shangyang Palace, asking them to strengthen the monitoring of the floods outside the city.

……

"Lord Wang, General Jin Wuwei Yang is outside the door, saying that Shangyang Palace is flooded, please go and command." In the middle of the night, in the haze, Wu Yanzhi was woken up by the servant Zhang Tai.

Outside the house, the heavy rain was pounding, and everyone was a little panicked.

What the? Is Shangyang Palace really flooded? Wu Yanzhi was taken aback.

In fact, not to mention Shangyang Palace, it is Luoyang City, which also has a history of drowning tens of thousands of people in a major flood. This is because of the special location of Luoyang City, Luoshui, Yishui, and Gushui all pass through the city, and if Luoshui is not discharged in time, it is normal to flood Luoyang City.

In the Shangyang Palace, there were nearly 30,000 people of all colors. Although I had already reminded them to prepare, it was a big question how many people could run out on this dark night and with such a torrential rain.

I don't know how many people will be wronged tonight! Wu Yanzhi was worried.

"Is Lang Jun going out?" Li Paner asked. She is now eight months pregnant and about to give birth.

"Of course you have to go, it's a big deal that Shangyang Palace is flooded. There are tens of thousands of people in there, so you can rest. Wu Yanzhi said, immediately put on his clothes, put on a poncho, and rushed outside the house. This is still the old mansion before, and the new palace has not yet moved over.

Yang Shancai, the general of the Jin Wuwei Zhonglang, was already waiting outside the door: "Lord, the city wall on the west side of Shangyang Palace has collapsed, and the flood has poured into Shangyang Palace. Fortunately, the guards on the left and right guards, Zhonglang and Wang Nei, have made preparations for the matter, and are currently retreating nervously. ”

"I can't see it at night, how is that illuminated?" Wu Yanzhi asked.

"With the pine resin we prepared earlier, and a little oil lamp." Yang Shancai also reported.

"This is far from enough, I have hundreds of catties of kerosene in my house, and I also have a warehouse with tens of thousands of catties of fierce fire oil, you immediately send someone to cut down bamboo and make thousands of torches.

I will send men to lead your soldiers to collect this kerosene and diesel. The sooner the better, if it's late, I don't know how many people will die! ”

"Yes!"

……

An hour later, two thousand soldiers armed with torches hurried to Shangyang Palace.

Wu Yanzhi originally thought that the Shangyang Palace had a radius of ten square kilometers, and due to the large area, the water would not come up for a while. However, Wu Yanzhi's generals who followed Jin Wuwei entered it, not only were they surprised, but the water was already up to their knees!

"Yang Jiajun, you quickly disperse these soldiers and lead the way for those who escaped. Notify everyone quickly, abandon all belongings, and focus on escape. ”

When General Yang heard this, he hurriedly sent the two thousand people to six different areas and a few hundred people each.

In the entire Shangyang Palace, there was endless crying and shouting.

"Lord Wang, pay attention to safety, the water level is getting deeper and deeper, it's better to go to the bridge!" The guard said with concern.

"There's no rush yet. General Yang, you are in charge of the west, and then contact General Zhao, send some people to find some fishing boats, and let everyone retreat from Fengchi Bridge to the Forbidden Garden. You need kerosene and diesel, you can move it.

Send swiftly to inform you that the gates on the south, north, and west sides are forbidden to be opened, and that all the gates on the east side may be opened so that the flood may drain down.

I went to the east and tried to get the people of Kasein to withdraw from the city gates. "Wu Yanzhi's arrangement.

"Yes."

Then Wu Yanzhi took dozens of his guards, held torches, and rushed to the Huacheng Courtyard in the northeast.

As the water was getting deeper and deeper, the road was very difficult, and it took an hour to come to the vicinity of the Immortal Palace.

I saw countless people running to the top of the palace and crying there. The black lights were blinding, the flood was so great that they couldn't see the direction at all, and they didn't know where to flee.

"Wang Chen, you take five people, and they are all rescued. Everyone held hands and went out to the Liyun Gate in the east. ”

"Yes."

"Gao Dahu, you take four people, take torches to Liyun Gate, and show everyone the way. The people of the palace near here, when they see the torches, will definitely come over. ”

"Yes."

Wu Yanzhi then arranged for a few more people to go to the embankment elephant gate in the east to show the way to the people trapped in the palace.

I never thought that those who came to the gate of the embankment saw that the gate was closed.

Later, he sent someone to inform Wu Yanzhi. When Wu Yan heard this, it must be the man who guarded the door who fled. So he hurriedly sent someone to find the key.

No wonder it is getting deeper and deeper with him, if this door is opened one more door, the flood will drain much faster.

It took more than an hour for someone to find the key, and at this time, the water in the city was already close to Wu Yanzhi's chest.

"Hurry up and open the door at any cost, whoever opens the door first, I will immediately let him flow out, and reward him with fifty yuan." Wu Yanzhi was a little anxious.

At this time, nearly 2,000 people had gathered inside the embankment gate.

Because the gate is already below the water level, and when this door is opened, people will definitely be washed out, and it will be very dangerous indeed. Only after the current has stabilized can you slowly withdraw it.

"All hands in hand, holding on to the trees, let go of the water and wash it away." Wu Yanzhi was also with these people.

When those people saw that the prince was there, it was like eating a reassuring bone, completely according to Wu Yanzhi's command.

Those guards who wanted to receive the reward heard that Wu Yanzhi wanted to let them into the stream, but they fought hard and dived into the water to pick the lock.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour to open the lock.

"Everyone, pay attention, the door is about to open, you must pull out something, you can't let go, as soon as you let go, it's over." Wu Yanzhi desperately emphasized the law of survival.

Fortunately, these people know that Wu Yanzhi is a big hero, and they all obey his orders.

It was not easy to open the door again, so I had to open them one by one, because the water pressure was very high, so it was extremely laborious to open the door.

In the end, it was seven or eight guards and more than twenty palace servants that opened the gate.

Fortunately, no one was washed away.

After the water flow stabilized, Wu Yanzhi took the torch and commanded more than 2,000 people to retreat hand in hand.

But what is sad is that in the darkness, along with the water, there are corpses flowing out from time to time......
