The flood of the Yellow River has not yet become a disaster, but it is like a dark cloud hanging over the Weiyang Palace, shrouding the heart of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The flooding of the Yellow River has actually been a long time, but over the years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been focusing on the war against the Xiongnu in the north, and the management of the Yellow River has basically been shelved.

"Spread Du Zhou Sanghong's sheep to see him." Emperor Wu of Han was worried in his heart, and immediately asked his chamberlain to summon the other two important ministers.

Unlike the mountain rain in Chang'an City, the four counties of Hexi are now in full swing. Because of the large influx of people, the population of the four counties is approaching the 200,000 mark, and the thriving commerce and trade have brought a large amount of money to enrich the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the Western Regions. Later, Huo Guang used these funds to buy a large number of iron ore to recruit craftsmen, and countless weapons and armor were created day and night, and a large number of materials from all over the world converged towards Hexi.

Now with Bai Zheng's talent as a commander, Huo Guang finally doesn't have to personally lead the troops to the expedition every time, when Bai Zheng took 10,000 Hexi Iron Cavalry to embark on the road of conquest in the southern part of the Western Regions, Huo Guang also leisurely began to patrol the land of the four counties, of course, the most important thing is to see the transformation of the three oases.

Huo Guang also met Du Yannian and Zhao Yinhua, who had been absent for nearly a year in Zhangye Oasis, and now both of them are much darker than before, and they seem to have lost a lot of weight, but both of them are in good spirits, and even Huo Guang feels that the two of them are still a little excited.

"Haha, it seems that the power of love is really huge, but the two of you are still radiant under such difficult conditions!" Huo Guang looked at the two of them jokingly and teased.

"That's right! I heard that the teacher went to the Western Regions, and the taste is getting heavier and heavier! Zhao Yinhua still did not change his character of loving and raising the bar with Huo Guang, and said to Huo Guang in a slightly disgusted tone.

When Du Yannian heard this, he lowered his head and forced himself not to laugh, he naturally knew the meaning of Zhao Yinhua's words. The matter of Huo Guang and Wu Ya, a Hun woman, has long been no secret in Hexi, and has even become a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.

Zhao Yinhua's words directly choked Huo Guang speechless. The word 'heavy taste' once again appeared in Huo Guang's mind, he never expected that this time would become a description of himself!

Huo Guang ignored Zhao Yinhua, and then put an arm on Du Yannian's shoulder, although both of them are no longer young, they still walked to the side as they did when they were young.

I said...... Brother Yannian..... You have to think about it, my disciple is not simple! Will you be able to submit it in the future? Huo Guang whispered in Du Yannian's ear, a little ridiculous, like a whisper between good brothers.

Du Yannian smiled awkwardly, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Yinhua. Du Yannian's gaze and Huo Guang's movements naturally made Zhao Yinhua suspicious. Immediately asked unceremoniously: "What bad things is the teacher saying about me again?" ”

"No..... Absolutely nothing...... I warned Brother Yannian that he must not bully you in the future! Huo Guang hurriedly bowed his hand, pretending to be serious, and kept a little distance from Du Yannian at his feet.

"Hmph, he dares!" Zhao Yinhua snorted coldly and glared at Du Yannian.

"Are you stupid....." Huo Guang saw that Du Yannian just smiled awkwardly, kicked Du Yannian's ass angrily, and then gestured to Du Yannian with his eyes.

Du Yannian was not a wooden person, and he was slightly stunned at first, but then he understood the meaning in Huo Guang's eyes.

"My subordinate Du Yannian, I have admired Miss Yinhua for a long time, please ask the Metropolitan Governor to marry!" Du Yannian solemnly said to Huo Guang. He knew that Huo Guang was creating opportunities for him, and even Huo Guang came to Zhangye in person this time, or he might have made a special trip to come for the two of them, Du Yannian was not only moved in his heart, but also cherished his friendship with Huo Guang.

"Yin Hua, are you willing?" Huo Guang stood up straight, changed his previous casualness, and asked Zhao Yinhua with a serious face.

Zhao Yinhua was slightly stunned, feeling that it was a little too sudden. Although she has a tricky and eccentric temperament, and she usually behaves very aggressively, she is still a girl after all, and she can't help but bow her head shyly at this moment, revealing her little daughter's posture.

"I ...... It's all up to the teacher..... "No matter how free and easy Zhao Yinhua is, it is impossible for him to nod his head, anyway, Huo Guang is his nominal teacher, so he naturally threw the embarrassment to Huo Guang at this time.

Huo Guang looked at the two of them, and his heart was also relieved and happy. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, when the three oases are completed, the governor of Pontus will personally officiate the wedding for you, and I will let the whole Hexi celebrate for you!" ”

"Thank you Dadu Governor (teacher)...."Du Yannian and Zhao Yinhua bowed together, and the names of the two of them were also decided from this moment on.

"But...... Something seems wrong in this generation, right? What do you say, Brother Yannian? Huo Guang suddenly looked at Du Yannian with a look of annoyance, but there was ridicule in his eyes that was difficult to hide!

In the following January, Huo Guang lived a rare leisurely life, and after inspecting Hexi, he returned to the Dadu Governor's Mansion in Dunhuang, and in addition to dealing with some official documents every day, he discussed some issues about the Xiongnu with Wu Ya. And with a little understanding of the Xiongnu from Wuya, Huo Guang also has a new and complete understanding of the Xiongnu.

However, when Huo Guang lived a leisurely life, the Han Emperor who was far away in Chang'an did not have a moment of leisure. Since this month, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been anxious about the flooding of the Yellow River, but once things develop in the direction of the bad, it seems that it will really get worse and worse.

"Your Majesty.... The river has breached...... More than ten counties downstream were all affected. Especially in Liangchu, the disaster is the most serious! The number of people affected by the disaster is not less than one million...... "When Emperor Wu of Han was still eating, an attendant hurriedly ran to Emperor Wu of Han and brought a very bad news.

"Immediately order the officials of Chang'an with more than 2,000 stones to go to the Xuanshu Palace." Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't care about continuing to eat, put down the chopstick, wiped his hands, and walked towards the Xuanshu Palace.

When more and more news gathered, Emperor Wu of Han found that the flood of the Yellow River was even more serious than he imagined. The huge breach of the Yellow River could not be stopped, and the land under the breach was submerged for thousands of miles, a large number of farmland and villages disappeared, the number of people who died was unknown, and those who fled to the higher cities and mountainous areas also faced the dilemma of lack of food and clothing.

"Immediately mobilize food, clothing, bedding and other items to go to the disaster relief. In addition, the mobilization of 100,000 troops means that even if you fill it with people, you will also have to block the breach. Emperor Wu of Han gave his will on the spot.

The world commented that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was an emperor who was very happy and reckless, but when his people suffered disasters, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also anxious, but in this era, human beings were extremely small in the face of natural disasters, and some disasters were difficult to deal with even the strength of the whole country.

The breach of the Yellow River is getting bigger and bigger, and a large number of troops have been transferred to the land of Liang and Chu, but whether it is to block the breach, or to provide relief materials such as food, it has brought a severe test to this prosperous empire.

"Your Majesty, the 100,000-strong army has all arrived at the breach, but the water is too fast for the breach to be blocked. And the grain in Guanzhong was also transported to the land of Liangchu, but this is still a drop in the bucket...... There are so many people affected by the disaster this time, and the granaries of more than ten large counties have been washed away, and now it is no longer possible to mobilize more food to the disaster area......" Ten days after the Yellow River burst, Prime Minister Shi Qing said bitterly above the main hall.

"Sang Hong sheep, how much food is there in Chang'an? Except for the necessary ones, let's transport them all to the disaster area! Emperor Wu of Han also had a sad face, and asked directly to Sang Hongyang.

Sang Hongyang has been anxious recently, although his power is getting bigger and bigger, he has to be responsible for more and more things, this Yellow River flood, the disaster relief grain operation depends on him to co-ordinate. And what Emperor Wu of Han is asking now is the question he is most unwilling to face.

"Your Majesty...... Over the years, the Han Dynasty has been fighting against foreign races year after year, and the grain output has decreased. Originally, there was not much grain stored in the treasury, but all that could be transported to disaster relief this time has been transported, and Chang'an can't extract more grain now......" Sang Hongyang said with an ugly face.

In recent years, the military strength of the Han Dynasty was strong, but the corresponding labor used for agriculture was reduced, and the grain output was no longer as good as in the Wenjing period. Originally, the foundation left in the Wenjing period was not bad, and it was barely supported over the years, but last year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a northern tour and sealed Zen, and the last bit of surplus of the Han Dynasty was exhausted.

"Tell me my will, I will go to the place where the river breaks!" Emperor Wu of Han stood up and made the decision to go to the disaster area in person.

This time, there was no one to dissuade the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the unprecedented flood, and the breach could not be blocked, and everyone also hoped that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could suppress the flood with the luck of the Son of Heaven, and this feudal superstitious thought had already penetrated into the bone marrow.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appeared in the land of Liang and Chu with the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, this eloquent emperor was also shocked by the tragic scene in front of him. This is really a scene of thousands of miles of barren corpses, the people are even more clothed and hungry, and even most of the people have begun to eat bark and grass roots.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also in tears, even in the early days of his succession, he was suppressed by the Empress Dowager's relatives and disturbed by the Huns, and he never frowned. However, when he saw the calamity of his people at this moment, he could not control his tears.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the bank of the Yellow River, Huo Guang, who was far away in Hexi, also gathered all the high-level discussions in Hexi. Although the flood of the Yellow River did not affect Hexi, it had already shook the entire Han Dynasty, and when Huo Guang heard that millions of Li people in the land of Liang and Chu had already lived on bark and grass roots, even with his iron heart, he couldn't help but feel a faint pain.

"This flood has never been more serious, not to mention food. I heard that King Liang had already distributed the grain from the treasury, and now the palace can only barely maintain one meal a day. If this continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before there will really be a human tragedy in the land of Liang Chu....." Du Yannian told everyone about the flood situation he received in the main hall of the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

Liang Wang Liu Xiang Huo Guang has seen it, this Liang Wang has always had a good reputation and is known all over the world, but this time Huo Guang is really admired. The dignified Liang King now only eats one meal a day, and this is not just for the sake of fame!

"How much grain do we have in Hexi now?" Although Huo Guang is no longer in the court, he still cares about the world, and naturally he will not sit idly by at this time.

"Now there are still more than 70,000 stones of surplus grain." Dongfang Shuo hurriedly replied. He is responsible for this part, and naturally he knows best.

"I mean plus rations." Huo Guang lowered his head and said in a deep voice, but his words fell on the ears of everyone in the hall like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"If you add military rations, there will be nearly 200,000 stones...... However, there is still more than a month before the oasis rice harvest...... Dongfang Shuo estimated it and said truthfully, and vaguely told Huo Guang that it was inappropriate to use military rations.

In recent years, Huo Guang's funds have not only been used to build Hexi, but also to continuously purchase grain, so there will be so much grain in Hexi.

"Plus the military rations are all transported to Liangchu for disaster relief..... Immediately submit the song to the imperial court, and let the imperial court arrange the grain transshipment along the way. In addition, the Governor of Pontus will personally write to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to grant the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion the right to be crowned! Huo Guang really even took out military rations for disaster relief, but his next words made everyone even more incredulous.

"This ...... Does Your Majesty feel that the Metropolitan Governor is a bit of a threat? Dongfang Shuo couldn't care about it anymore, and asked Huo Guang the most serious question directly.

Huo Guang's disaster relief is sincere, but no one would have thought that he would make such a request to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this time, the right to be a feudal monarch is exclusive to the princes and kings, Huo Guang's request is very rude, and it will naturally make people suspicious of ill intentions.

He ...... I will agree....." Huo Guang said in a low voice, calling Emperor Wu of Han directly to him for the first time. It's like telling the middle of the temple, and it's like talking to yourself.
