On the third day of the fourth month of the ninth year of Yanli Pingguang, the morning light was still with a thick fog, quite cold, and in the strange weather, the grain wagons of the household department had been prepared, a total of 420 large carriages, transported by 1,000 horsemen and laborers, and 2,000 leopard battalions of the Imperial Forest Army were responsible for escorting the military rations, and the Imperial Forest Army went to Yichun County this time, in addition to being responsible for protecting the grain, there was also a task to assist the local city defenders to control the chaotic situation in Yichun County, and it was necessary to stabilize the situation.

The convoy spread like a long dragon.

Normally, the road is not too long, and the ox cart will be used to transport grain, because the load capacity of the ox cart is large, far from the horse-drawn cart can be compared, but the ox cart is too slow, once the road is too far or the grain is too urgent, the ox cart can not be used, and can only be transported by horse-drawn cart. Yan country is short of horses, and there is no way to transport grain by horses, and the officials of Taifu Temple see that the good horses in the horse farm are not used to charge into battle, but to do strength work, so they are really unhappy in their hearts, but at this time, disaster relief is the first, and they can't say anything if they have anything.

In addition to the disaster relief grain, there is also a small part of this batch of food rations on the way, after all, the coachman and the Royal Forest Army, that is more than 3,000 people, from Yanjing, the fastest will take four or five days to reach Yichun County, this road is to consume a lot of food, but also to eat, otherwise this long-distance work, no strength can not be done.

As soon as the sky was hazy, the long snake-like convoy was guarding the West City Gate under the protection of the Royal Forest Army, and was about to set off in the northwest direction.

In this convoy, 500 infantry took the lead, 600 infantry held back, 600 cavalry were on both sides, archers were mixed in the middle, and there were scouts exploring the way ahead, with Han Mo as the deputy, Xue Shao, Xiao Mu and Miao Wu as the deputies, and Miao Wu's official position in the middle was higher than the other two, so Miao Wu was actually Han Mo's real deputy.

As soon as he left the city, the eunuch Ling Leiling, who was already waiting at the city gate, greeted him with a smile, Han Mo knew that this eunuch was going to Yichun County with the escort of the convoy, and now he had changed from a general secretary to a powerful inspector, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Ling is in a hurry!" ”

Ling Lei listened to Han Mo call him "Lord Ling", his heart felt relieved, and he smiled: "Lord Han, our family...... Well, along the way, I have to go to Yichun County with Lord Han's convoy, and I have to take care of it on the way. ”

Ling Lei didn't get dizzy, although he was an inspector, he also knew that this position was not climbed up by his own strength, but the result of the family fighting and not believing each other, which could be regarded as a mistake. And the young grain guard officer in front of him, who is a powerful person with two thousand people in hand, even if he falls to the ground in Yichun County, he is also an official with goods in his hands, which is very different from himself. And when I arrived in Yichun County, although I didn't see the current situation there for a while, I could think of it, it should be extremely bad, and I carried the name of the inspector to the past, who knows if the people over there really bought it, and they got into this troubled water, it was very dangerous, if they could stick to Han Mo closely, they would have a great guarantee for their own safety.

Ling Lei still has a good impression of Han Mo, the biggest "black money" he received in his life is the one hundred taels of silver that Han Mo secretly stuffed into him, but he remembers it in his heart, and only thinks that this young official is enthusiastic and sensible, and he is a good person.

Han Mo could naturally feel Ling Lei's closeness, and said with a smile: "When Lord Ling said this, he saw the outside. You are the Guardian of the Holy Lord's order, and you must have done your best to protect Lord Ling's safety, and you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. ”

Ling Lei smiled like an orange blossom, and smiled in a shrill voice: "There is hard work!" ”

Since Ling Lei is the supervising envoy, he naturally has a separate carriage, he got into the carriage, Han Mo was about to wave his arm to order the convoy to go, but he heard a carriage sound behind him, and couldn't help frowning and turning back, but he saw a quite spacious carriage coming quickly, the horse pulling the carriage was a tall horse with fat legs and long legs, very strong, although the carriage did not look very luxurious, but the style was exquisite, the key was that the beams were strong, it was made of high-quality wood, and the carriage was also extremely wide.

The coachman pulling the cart was a stout man, although the weather entered April, and the morning light was a little cold, but this big man was just wearing a short coat, with a furry chest, revealing two thick and dark arms, who could it be if it wasn't Qin Shan.

When Han Mo saw Qin Shan, he naturally knew who was in the carriage, frowned, urged the horse to step forward, went to the window, knocked lightly on the lintel, the curtain opened the gap, Xiaojun's face was revealed, with a smile, and said, "Young Master Han!" ”

Han Mo frowned, looked inside, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Lingzhi sitting lazily in the car, with an elegant posture, very cold, with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep, or she was recuperating, and she didn't turn her head to look at herself, so she asked Xiaojun: "What, do you want to go out of the city too?" ”

Xiao Jun pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes! ”

"Where are you going?" Han Mo had a bad premonition.

Xiao Jun said with a smile: "Where Young Master Han goes, we will go where we ......!" ”

Han Mo said lightly: "Don't be kidding, my military affairs are important, so I can't talk to you." He was about to turn the horse's head and leave, but he saw Xiaojun stretch out his hand, show a piece of paper, and said: "This is the holy decree, you will escort our young lady to Yichun County, Young Master Han, you don't want to resist the decree, right?" ”

Han Mo glanced at it, but saw that it was indeed the emperor's edict, and he was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't know why the emperor valued this woman from the Xiao family so much.

The last time Bozhou County quelled the rebellion, it was also the emperor who appointed Xiao Lingzhi as a military advisor, and this time it was an edict to let the Imperial Forest Army escort Xiao Lingzhi to Yichun County, what did he do?

Han Mo hesitated, but heard Xiao Lingzhi's rather indifferent voice and said lightly: "Lord Han, it's time to go, there are still many disaster victims waiting for your food!" ”

Han Mo sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Strategist, that is not a good place to visit the mountains and rivers, why should you get involved over there." ”

Xiao Lingzhi finally opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Han Mo, just glanced at it, then turned her head away, and ignored it, like that, it seemed to be angry with Han Mo, quite childlike.

Han Mo shook his head helplessly, urged the horse to leave, and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

This long convoy began to start from the west gate of Yanjing and headed northwest to Yichun County, which was affected by the flood.

……

The geographical location of Yichun County is extremely special, and the area is huge, second only to Huiji County, where Yanjing is located. It borders the four counties of Yan Kingdom, Huiji County to the east, Bozhou County to the south, Wu County to the northeast, and Linyang County to the northwest.

Yichun County has a total of seven counties, the actual control of the four counties in the west is in the hands of the Fan family, and the three counties in the east are in the hands of the He family, the Dachang River across Yichun County, through the Hejia Lanhe, Huangmei County, to the west is through the Fan family's Susong County, and because of this, after the continuous rainstorm of the Dachang River that is rare in a hundred years caused the collapse of the river embankment, these three counties were greatly harmed, and the people affected were as many as hundreds of thousands of people.

The two major cities of Yichun, the Fan family's Yicheng is not in Susong County, so it is free from floods, but the Xinyi City of the He family is located in the territory of Lanhe County, although the four gates of the Xinyi City are closed, it is an emergency to resist the water, so as not to be washed away by the water in the city, but the entire outside of the city is flooded with water, and the Xinyi City has become a lonely city soaked in water, if you want to transfer materials and personnel, you can only rely on ships, but it is a pity that Yichun County belongs to the inner 6, the ships are scarce, and there is no ability to carry out large-scale transfers. Therefore, only some important people of the He family were transferred to Xichun County, which was not affected by the flood, through a very small number of ships, and temporarily settled in Xichun County.

Xinyi City is the root of the He family, although it is surrounded by floods, the He family cannot give up easily, and most of the He family's industries are in Xinyi City, so the He family is also doing their best to protect Xinyi City and maintain order within Xinyi City for their own interests, and only wait until the flood recedes before making plans.

Sixty percent of the three counties of Yichun affected by the flood have been swept away by the flood, and in the low-lying places, the buildings and buildings have been completely submerged by the flood, and the endless water is huge, and the flood has also spread to the waist in the high-lying places, and the surviving people have been transferred to the waterless areas and other counties that have not yet been affected.

This time the flood hit the He family was much stronger than that of the Fan family.

And after the Yangtze River burst the embankment, although the rain weakened a lot, but did not completely stop, for several days it was still dripping and dripping, this annoying God was cursed by countless people, so that those officials of Yichun County, especially the water conservancy officials who were deployed, because they did not report the danger in time, and even did not organize effective flood control actions in the first time, resulting in countless lives being buried in the flood, that was scolded by the people who were sad and painful from head to toe.

……

Han Mo's team advanced with all their might in this hazy weather all day, and at night, they had already rushed to Gushui Town, which was less than a hundred miles away from Yichun County.

Gushui Town is not big, but it is near the traffic artery, so there are many inns in the town. The grain guard team traveled all the way, although the Imperial Forest Army was well-trained and could hold on, but the horsemen were exhausted, and the grain transportation depended on their strength, the so-called desire was not reached, and those horses also had to eat and rest, so Han Mo ordered, and the team rested in the town.

Although there are many inns in the town, but suddenly thousands of people came, all of them are more than the people in the town, this inn is far from enough, but the town is coming out, knowing that this is a disaster relief team, here is not bad, so that many people in the town to make room, the team is divided into two shifts at night to rest, but it is also the grain transport personnel are properly arranged.

These hundreds of grain trucks were very large-scale, and they stopped at the entrance of the town, Han Mo did not dare to slack off, and ordered nearly a thousand imperial forest soldiers to temporarily set up camp tents next to the grain trucks to protect the grain.

After settling down, Xiao Jun came to Han Mo's side and said softly: "Young Master Han, my young lady said, I'm afraid that someone will come over at night to make trouble, be careful that someone will set fire to the grain, and be careful to kill the horse!" ”
