Chapter 669: A Great Disaster from Heaven
The Yaya family had just packed up their things and walked out of the house, and there were already many people on the main street of this small village dragging their families in one direction. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Yucheng!
Time goes back to half a day ago.
The work of cleaning up the river is about to be completed. The soldiers who came to repair and the people who had been temporarily recruited were all smiling. Although everyone worked in the rain for almost half of the month, everyone's efforts can make the hope of the upcoming harvest full of hope.
Today, all the men and soldiers involved in cleaning up the river have only one job left, and that is to inspect the dam at the junction. The dam was built 40 years ago. All they needed to do was add some more stakes to the back of the dam.
Actually, this shunt is just in case. The dam will not be opened until the last resort.
But just as the men were walking up the dam and preparing for the final work, a shout caught everyone's attention. "Be careful!"
When everyone looked up, they saw a huge black shadow rolled up by a large amount of mud and sand. Everyone looked at it, and it was a big tree. A giant tree that is nearly 100 years old!
However, it is such a giant tree, but it is so powerless in the huge waves, and can only be forcibly pushed forward by the huge waves.
In the blink of an eye, the yellow waves rolled the giant trees and came to the dam at the feet of the people. Only a loud "boom" was heard, and the people felt the sky shake for a while. And these screams disappeared in the blink of an eye. Everyone got up from the ground one after another, and several workers were already thrown into the waves by the previous shaking, and now there was not even a shadow.
However, what is even more terrifying is not the few people who disappeared in the blink of an eye, but the embankment that has been knocked out of a huge gap by the giant tree.
"Quick! Run! This dam won't last long! ”
As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, not to mention a huge gap that is more than a foot wide and half a foot deep. And this gap is already very lucky that it did not immediately become a hole.
"Run!"
With a few shouts, many people and soldiers immediately threw away their tools and fled to both ends of the dam in a panic. How long this dam can last, no one knows. But everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before this dam bursts!
"King Wei! King Wei! Big things are wrong! The river has burst! ”
Cao Cao, who originally thought that the raging Yellow River had no effect on him at all, finally heard the bad news!
"Burst! Where? Cao Cao stood up suddenly.
"It's in Yucheng, which is only a few hundred miles away from Luoyang! The raging flood has already traveled more than a hundred miles to the east and reached the vicinity of Yuanwu City! Xun You, who came to report after receiving the news, lay down in front of Cao Cao and cried!
"What about the diversion river prepared by the widows? Yes~! Cao Cao roared violently.
Water, especially floods, cannot be controlled by man. When the river dam on the west side of Yucheng was breaking down, in an instant, a huge wave crossed the river with endless might. Finally, the water of the Yellow River, which has a pressure relief outlet, roars and gushes out. The holes are getting bigger and bigger, and the floods are getting more and more violent. A few miles away is just the blink of an eye for the angry waves!
"Quick! Send out an army to rescue immediately! "Cao Cao roared!
"It's too late! King Wei! The news was five hours ago. At this moment, it is estimated that the flood has entered the boundary of Yanzhou! Xun You's words immediately made Cao Cao's anger rise again!
No one expected that the place where the levee burst was the place where it was impossible to break the levee. Cao Cao remembered the embankment very well, just three years ago, he had just allocated a sum of money for maintenance. But the unexpected always comes so suddenly. An accident is still an accident after all. But this accident is not something ordinary people can afford!
At this moment, the water in Yucheng, which is closest to the embankment, is already half a zhang high. This is still the result of receiving warnings from the soldiers who fled back in Yucheng, and the county order in the city immediately blocked the nearest west gate. And the people who gathered from outside the city all walked up to the city wall.
The people looked at the flood outside the city, all of which were like ashes, and nothing mattered at the moment, the most important thing was that they were still alive.
However, the thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city that have been submerged and cannot be seen, and the countless golden hopes, have all become bubbles!
On the walls of Yucheng, some people are crying, some are silent, some are comforting their families, and some are crying silently......
"Mingting is here! Mingting is here! ”
"My lord, what are we going to do! Nothing! ……”
"Yes! The harvest is about to be harvested! This ,......"
……
Looking at the gossip of the people, the county order of Yucheng was also miserable.
"People! Don't forget! We still have King Wei! King Wei will come to our rescue! ”
"That's right! We still have King Wei! ”
……
However, just when people were just regaining their confidence, someone said, "King Wei? It is said that the opposite sex is not allowed to be crowned king. And the king of Wei was the first king of the opposite sex in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. As soon as the king of Wei became king, there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky, and then the river burst its banks. Isn't this God punishing King Wei? ”
"Who? Who said that! Yu Cheng Taishou didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, and shouted!
Yu Cheng waited for a long time and no one spoke, and said with a random sneer: "Hmph! How? Do you have the courage to say it, but don't you have the courage to admit it? The King of Wei ascended to the throne of the King of Wei, which was the will of heaven and the people. And when the king of Wei served as prime minister, he rectified the rule of officials, adjusted taxes, and appeased the people...... The exploits of King Wei are obvious to all in the world! When Yucheng Taishou said this, it immediately aroused the approval of many people!
"That's right! His Royal Highness King Wei's merits are immeasurable! ”
Yu Cheng Taishou nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Today, a sudden catastrophe struck, and you didn't want to work together, and you are still spreading rumors here!" Come! ”
"In!" Immediately behind Yu Chengtai's guard, several soldiers walked out!
"Investigate closely, and once you find someone who insults the King of Wei and spreads rumors, you will be immediately detained and handed over to the people to deal with!"
"No!"
Now, because of the raging flood, people are already panicking. And this well-intentioned person who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, inadvertently, but stealing chickens and rice, became a favorable statement for Yucheng Taishou to inspire and condense the power!
Cao Cao's movements were not unpleasant. On the afternoon of the second day when Yucheng was besieged by floods, a huge army had already driven less than 100 miles from Yucheng. However, the rushing flood in front of them stopped the soldiers from moving forward!
"The whole army listened to the order and immediately cut down wood and built boats, and tens of millions of people are still waiting for us!"
Cao Shuo, who served as the commander-in-chief of the rescue, gave an order, and 30,000 soldiers immediately agreed in unison and hurriedly ran to the nearby mountains and forests. Because, in the midst of that raging flood, there are their families, and their families!
They're waiting for them!
According to the speed of news transmission in the Han Dynasty, it will take at least two months for a piece of news to spread from Youzhou in the north to Yizhou in the south, and the matter of Yucheng bursting the embankment, but only three days later, the princes of the Han Dynasty have already received the news!
A catastrophe fell from the sky, and Cao Cao was in danger!
