Chapter 52 The Terroir of Truthfulness
All the way, hundreds of horsemen and horses arrived in Zhending, it was already the middle of April in the first year of Chuping.
On the occasion of spring planting, the territory of Changshan country is a torrential rain, day and night, the water potential of the Hutuo River that runs through Zhending soars, most of the county is submerged in it, more than 10,000 people in the city have lost their homes, and more than 20,000 people in the city have been affected by disasters of varying degrees.
In the face of this sudden situation, Han Lie did not stand idly by, but led his soldiers to quickly set up shanties on the mounds in the southern suburbs of the county to settle the victims and maintain law and order.
Han Lie, who was wearing a hat, was building a wooden shed with his soldiers, a pair of messengers wearing soap clothes hurriedly came, and the person at the head looked at the busy figure of Han Lie and the others, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask which one is the new Han County Lieutenant?" ”
"This is my lord, who are you?" Li Yang saw that Han Lie was holding on to the wooden pillar and did not look back, so he pointed to Han Lie's figure and said.
"Xiaguan Xia, the county's subordinate Facao, Hou Lan has seen Lord Han." Xia Houlan looked at the busy Han Lie hesitantly, stepped forward and saluted, in his cognition, those chief officials in the county, the ones who worked so hard in such a rainstorm.
"The strength of these pillars is related to the strength of the shanty, and once they collapse, it will cause human life, and they must not be careless." Han Lie told the soldiers who took over, and turned to look at Xiahou Lan behind.
"You're Hocao? Why don't you see the county officials? Han Lie's eyes swept over Xiahou Lan sharply, and the county official in front of him looked like he was in his early twenties, his face was haggard, his body was covered with mud, and his clothes were already soaked by the rain, which showed that this person must have been fighting on the front line of disaster relief.
Looking at Han Lie's handsome face dripping with rain and the young face that didn't talk like words, Xiahou Lan was stunned and hurriedly replied: "The county ordered Lord Liu to go to the county to ask for grain and grass, Lord Zhao of the county is still trapped in the city now, and Zhang Zhubo is now recuperating on the northern slope because of the cold." ”
"How are refugees settled? Do you have a good arrangement in your county? Han Lie learned that several bigwigs in the county had excuses, but at the moment, he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he didn't comment well, so he had to ignore it for the time being.
"Now some of the refugees have been transferred to the north slope, where the terrain is high, there will be no flood problem for the time being, and some are trapped in the city, and the remaining part is currently here for adults. Xia Houlan didn't expect that the young Han County Lieutenant in front of him would devote himself to the work of relieving the victims when he first arrived, and he seemed to be quite thoughtful, and he was quite moved for a while.
"I'm not very familiar with this place, you can show me around." Han Lie thought about it for a while, and then spoke.
"Whoa!" Xia Houlan hurriedly replied in a deep voice.
After walking down the mound, the road was muddy, Han Lie had to pick up his skirt, take off his shoes and walk barefoot, walking in the muddy water, pointing to the turbulent Futuo River not far away: "Lord Xiahou, your land floods every year?" ”
"In previous years, it was fine, although there will be some disasters, but it is not like this year, which has been raining for half a month, which has washed away several dikes, so that the county is submerged in floods." Xia Houlan glanced at Han Lie, who was walking calmly in the muddy water, and was amazed that under Han Lie's seemingly weak physique, he was like an old peasant, and he really couldn't see through this young county lieutenant.
"How many people are currently trapped in the city, have you counted them? Are you ready to come to the rescue? Han Lie raised his eyes to look at Zhending County, which had been reduced to half of the Ze country, and asked with some concern.
"I'm afraid that there will be three or four thousand more people, at present, we don't have enough manpower, and the water is too strong, so the wooden raft built can't cross it at all, so ......" Xiahou Lan saw that Han Lie's face was wrong, and he didn't dare to say the rest of the words.
"These are not reasons, we must overcome the difficulties and move the people out of the city, once the water increases and the city wall is submerged, it will be difficult for the thousands of people in the city to support it, so it is necessary to rescue all the people while the water is not spreading." Han Lie's tone was unquestionable, and he didn't care about inspecting the surrounding situation at the moment, so he turned around and said, "I'm going to arrange for people to build a big wooden raft, and you will lead the way later, and I must find a way to transfer the people in the city out." ”
On the mound in the southern suburbs, there were poplars and cypress trees everywhere, and there was obviously no shortage of wood, Han Lie, who returned to the camp, immediately selected a hundred soldiers with good water resistance, and began to cut down wood and build wooden rafts, and if the rope was not enough, they tied them with rattan.
And at this time, Dian Wei Xu Rong, Wang Ding, Wang Ling and others were not idle, Dian Wei Xu Rong each took thirty soldiers to pick up the nearby soldiers up the mountain, Wang Ding was responsible for counting the population, Wang Ling and Li Yang were responsible for taking the remaining soldiers, cutting wood and building shantytowns, such a rainy day, the temperature generally dropped, if there is no place to cover the rain to heat, these affected people will soon get sick and cold, once the epidemic occurs, the situation will undoubtedly be more complicated.
In his previous life, Han Lie had participated in the treatment of floods, snowstorms, earthquakes and other disasters many times, so he was naturally handy for these tasks, and under his command, the three hundred private soldiers of the department, as well as some young and strong people who came up to relieve them, also devoted themselves to the disaster relief work.
After working for most of the day, Han Lie and the others built twenty large wooden platoons, which were controlled by a group of five people, and under the guidance of Xiahoulan, they drove along the lowest water level to the city of Zhending, which was besieged by floods.
The people who were wandering at the head of the city suddenly burst out in a cry for help when they saw the wooden rafts in the ocean.
Han Lie's water nature is excellent, so this time he also participated in this rescue mission, when the wooden platoon was about to arrive in the city, looking at the crowd that swarmed, Han Lie immediately shouted: "The old and weak women and children go first, line up, don't crowd, those who don't listen to orders, this official will not be spared." ”
Although Han Lie's shouting was very loud, but in the face of a group of frightened people, they obviously ignored Han Lie's words directly, when the first wooden row just approached the city wall, the crowd crowded on the city wall rushed up as if crazy, and hundreds of people swarmed up as a result, directly pressing the ten-meter-long wooden raft directly to the bottom of the water.
Seeing this scene, Han Lie's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, at this time, he could only suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Slowly approach, save the people who fell into the water first." ”
"Save me, save me......"
In the face of the surging flood, life undoubtedly seemed fragile at this moment, and in the blink of an eye, at least a dozen people were submerged by the flood.
"Bastard, do you see it, this is the end of not obeying orders, and if you don't line up one by one, do you have to go to death?" At this moment, a tall figure appeared at the head of the city, and I saw that he was holding a long pole covered with a cloth sleeve, and scattered the congested crowd as if he had entered a no-man's land, and walked out of it.
"It's Lord Zhao who is here, Lord Zhao ......"
Seeing the sturdy man in a soap suit and a hat, noisy shouts rang out in the crowd from time to time.
"It's Brother Zilong, with him at the head of the city, the order can be determined." Xia Houlan, who was standing beside Han Lie, also became excited when he saw the big man at the head of the city.
Han Lie also saw the big man in the city, although there were more than 20 zhang apart, but Han Lie still saw the other party's appearance at a glance, to be honest, the man in front of him, if it is put in the 21st century, I am afraid that he will become the idol of hundreds of millions of girls.
With a height of more than eight feet, a knife-like silhouette, and delicate facial features, even a man can't help but have a good impression of friendship when he sees such a heroic young man.
"Who is this person?" Han Lie was really sure when he first came here, since he didn't know this person, this time he saw that Xia Houlan respected this person very much, and the young man in front of him was extraordinary, which naturally attracted Han Lie's attention.
"Hui Yu Lord, this person's surname is Zhao Mingyun, the word Zilong, is the county gate of the lower hand, responsible for the city's security patrol, because this person is strong in martial arts, fair, so he is deeply loved by the people in the county." Xia Houlan hurriedly replied.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong?" Han Lie is not an expert in history after all, when watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he often sees Zhao Yun reporting that his family is Changshan Zhao Zilong, so Han Lie has always thought that Zhao Yun is from Changshan, but he didn't know that Zhao Yun was actually from Zhending County under the rule of Changshan County.
Looking at the big man on the head of the city, compared with Zhao Yunyi, who was a historical and literary image, Han Lie was surprised to find that Zhao Yun in front of him was even more flesh and blood than the legend.
If he met Zhao Yun when he first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, Han Lie was only afraid that he would wave his hand excitedly and shout, but after seeing those historical celebrities in the sour jujube camp, his immunity to those celebrities was greatly improved, even so, when he met this legendary martial god Zhao Zilong, Han Lie's heart was still a little up and down.
At this moment, Han Lie couldn't help but think to himself: "I thought that it must be a match, but I knew that I could meet Zhao Zilong, this is really a lost harvest of Sangyu, if I can win over this person, even if I come to the distribution again, I will be willing to do it." ”
