In the south of Xiling City, thirty-five miles away, there is a small village.

Near the village, there is a medium river passing by.

This river is very unruly, and in previous years, when there was a flood, it would be flooded.

At this moment, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and the majestic rain is pouring down.

On the bank of the river, there is a stone house, and there are several middle-aged men in the house. These men are all village names in small villages.

More than ten days ago, the heavy rain that washed away the drought came and went quickly. After that, there was no rain for five or six days in a row.

Just when the people were desperate, it began to rain again. But once it rains, it's five or six days.

At this moment, several men in the stone house have changed from joy to silence.

Almost every village near the water has one of these stone houses, which are responsible for monitoring the river. It was an order issued by the government ten days ago.

If the river suddenly swells, they are responsible for reporting it. so that the villagers can retreat in time.

There was no compulsion from the government, and these men all took the initiative to come to monitor. Because, behind you is your own village.

It's been raining for five or six days in a row. These men also held out for five or six days.

What made them a little happy was that although the river swelled under such a heavy rain, it did not overflow the river bank and enter the earth.

If it had been during such heavy rains in previous years, their village would have been flooded.

Why this happens, of course they know.

Everything is General Yang Wu. It was he who spent money and food, digging rivers and cleaning up rivers to keep their villages safe from floods.

First there was a drought, a deep well. After the flood, the river was remediated.

The gratitude of several strong men to Liu Feng is almost incomprehensible.

The torrential rain continued, and the river was still swollen, but it never overflowed.

Changsha, Jiujiang, Jiangxia, and most of the villages in the three counties are doing this. A stone house, the people in charge of the guard.

But there are some unfortunate ones.

The rainstorm was just too heavy. Jiangxia's water system is too developed again.

There are rivers everywhere, and even if they are dug deep, they still can't store the surging water and overflow the river. For example, there is a large village on the east side of the river called "Danshui", so there are stone houses on the outside of the river that are in charge of monitoring.

At the first moment when the river overflowed, the men rushed out of the stone houses and braved the heavy rain to run towards their village.

"Knock knock." Looking at the gong in his hand, he shouted: "It's a big flood, it's a big water, hurry up." ”

"It's a big flood, it's a big water, hurry up." A shout after a shout, interspersed with the sound of gongs. The people in the village changed their faces for a while.

Fortunately, more than ten days ago, the government had already informed them to prepare their bags and be ready to retreat at any time.

Although the people are panicked now, they are not messy.

Under the leadership of the old people in the village, the village began an orderly retreat.

The village was a bit of a low-lying area, and their goal was to run to a nearby village. Jiangxia is not a perennial drought place, but there are occasional large floods.

The experienced elders in the village know which village will be flooded and which village will be safe.

"Hurry, hurry, the old man and the woman, the child get into the ox cart, and the rest hurry up and run to the east." The middle-aged men in the village shouted one after another.

But this village is a big village, and it takes a little time to gather.

When the swelling river flooded the soles of the feet, the people of the village were assembled. Let's set off for the neighboring village.

During the rainstorm, although the faces of the villagers were panicked, they were not panicked.

They remained calm, even with a small amount of joy. In previous years, when there was a big flood, some people were killed or injured because they could not retreat, but this year there were none.

Isn't that enough to rejoice?

There are only some old people, worried. Because of the arrival of the great waters, the crops are gone. How to spend next year.

This is more unlucky.

In some villages, a small number of people have gone missing because the speed of the retreat could not keep up with the speed of the river's surge.

Despite all the frustrations, on the whole, the policy of river improvement in the three counties was very successful, and the heavy rain and the surging river water were suppressed in a very small range.

The three counties of Jiangxia, Jiujiang, and Changsha were lucky because they had Liu Feng's foresight. Although there are some unsatisfactory ones, such as deep boreholes in droughts, there is no guarantee of crops. In floods, losses cannot be reduced to zero.

But compared to most of Jingchu, as well as Jiangdong, it is already a joy.

The torrential rain, which affected most of the area south of the Yangtze River and a small part of the northern part of the Yangtze River, probably started in Xiangyang in the west.

The rain in Shangyong and other places west of Xiangyang is significantly reduced.

In other words, Xiangyang, Wuling and other places are in the upper reaches. There are no flood peaks washed down by the Yangtze River further upstream. The threat is much smaller.

But despite this, there are still large swaths of villages in Jingzhou that have been submerged.

Countless ordinary people fled their homes in a hurry, seeking shelter from nearby high ground. On the way, in the panic, hundreds of people were separated from their loved ones.

Some people may find their loved ones when they are safe, and some people may be separated forever.

The only thing that makes people happy is that Jing Chu is also in a place where big floods occasionally occur. The old people in the village also know where to hide from the flood and where to be flooded.

The experience of the old man allowed most of the people to escape.

But when the rainstorm that lasted for six days stopped, and the sky was lit up for the first time, what appeared in front of the people of Xiangyang was.

A sea full of eyes.

Occasionally, you can see corpses floating in the floodwaters, human corpses, and animal corpses. There are domestic animals and there are wild animals.

Experienced old people know that it will take a day or two for the flood to recede, and it will take a day or two for the flood to recede, and it will be difficult to endure after one or two days.

In the aftermath of the great flood, there were countless deaths and injuries to people and animals.

A terrible plague that may sweep through the entire Jingchu.

In the city of Xiangyang, the flood water is up to the knees. The carriage was made of wood, and it was not easy to walk in such large waters.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had to ride horses and came to the south gate.

The two of them were each dressed in formal clothes, and their faces were heavy. I thought that the drought would come after Ganlin, but I didn't expect that after a few days of joy, this heavy rain came.

In a washout, I don't know how many people will be killed or injured.

What's even worse is the grain, there was originally a surplus in the family, but in the flood, the people definitely couldn't take care of the food. Even if it is taken away, the grain that has been soaked in water will become moldy.

Jingzhou, which has never had a food crisis, may have a food crisis this time.

It's strange that the two are in a good mood.

Soon, the two of them, surrounded by guards, rode their horses to the city gate. Turn over and dismount and step up the steps.

The two came to the city, looking at the ocean in front of them, and the occasional scene of floating corpses, the two of them gasped in unison.

It may not only be food that is terrible, but also the plague.

Glancing at each other, both of them saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.

"Although the grain in Gangneung has been emptied, we still have some stock in Xiangyang. Thankfully, fortunately. Cai Mao touched the sweat on her forehead and said happily.

Now, even characters like Cai Mao can no longer remain calm.

"Food is indeed barely sustainable, but the plague." Kuai Yue nodded, but his face was heavy. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately ordered the officials around him: "Order to gather soldiers, and as soon as the water recedes, immediately organize people to bury the corpses of people and animals." ”

"Order all the hospitals, doctors not to stock up on medicines to treat the plague without permission, and control it. Always ready to defend against the plague. ”

Kuai Yue's ability is still very sufficient, and at this moment, temporary measures have been considered.

"No." Under Kuai Yue's order, the little official, who was also very frightened, immediately calmed down, promised a word, and quickly went down the city wall.

The chariot and horse went to the Zhennan General's Mansion in the city, preparing to spread Kuai Yue's order throughout Jingchu.

"Now that the situation in the north is stable, Cao Gong may have gone south in the next year or two. I hope there won't be any mess. Looking at the ocean full of eyes, Kuai Yue sighed and said.

"Hey." Cai Mao also sighed, but what he was worried about in his heart was not this, but his son-in-law Liu Feng.

I don't know what happened to Jiang Xia. However, according to the news that came, Liu Feng had been renovating the river and dredging the river before.

The situation of the disaster should be better than that of Jingxiang.

Thinking about it like this, Cai Mao felt a little relieved in her heart.

Jingzhou is still quite substantial, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are still a little hopeful for the future.

But it's a different story with Shinno.

This heavy rainstorm swept through many places and stretched from Xiangyang in the west. Shinno is good at immortality, located in the north of Xiangyang, and has also been affected.

The disaster situation at this moment is similar to that of Xiangyang, full of oceans, and occasionally floating corpses.

On the south city gate, Liu Bei stood with many civil and military ministers under his tent, Zhuge Liang, Liao Li, Xu Shu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi, Wei Yan.

Looking at the ocean in front of me that was abused by the flood and blown away. They were all silent.

The IQ of this group of people is not low, and they can also think of what Kuai Yue Cai Mao can think of, plague, food. Jing Chu has a lot of heritage.

But Xinye doesn't have it, let alone food, even if it's medicine, I'm afraid it's not much.

After this flood, they don't know how to get through it, and they don't know the bottom.

A group of people behind him were silent, and Liu Bei, who was standing in front, was even colder. What a king's business, what ambition.

Liu Bei thinks it's all bullshit.

If he can't survive this disaster, he may not even be able to keep the last piece of territory.

Although Zhuge Liang couldn't see Liu Bei's front, judging from Liu Bei's shaking shoulders, he could guess that Liu Bei was in despair.

He took a step forward and persuaded: "Lord, now is not the time to mourn, it is better to think of a plan early and overcome the current crisis." ”

Liu Bei was desperate, but Zhuge Liang said it was sad.

Liao Li pursed his lips in his heart.

When is it time to think about fame.
