Chapter 409: Movements

"Yes, the water level has risen a lot, and there is a lot more water flowing every second than the last time I came. Hua Shenguang looked at the mouth of the lake like a heavenly river from afar, this miracle of nature, and said with great emotion. "It's just that it's hard for everyone, such a heavy rain, all the time drenched in digging mountains. ”

"Lord Wang, we are not bitter!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely complete the task!"

Hua Shenguang's words of emotion were extremely warm in the ears of all the soldiers.

"Okay, the warriors of my Daping Kingdom are all heroes who are not afraid of hardship, and if you hold on for a few more days, you can be done. I have brought you many things, which are the hearts of the other soldiers and brothers under the mountain. Hua Shenguang talked with the soldiers for a while, put the supplies he brought into the temporary camp at the foot of another mountain, and then drove the spirit eagle back along the road.

On the way back, Hua Shenguang deliberately lowered his altitude, flew close to the ground, and saw some small rivers, the water of which had swelled, and some were about to rise to the embankment. These are nothing, the most surprising thing for him is the difference in details, the big rivers and small rivers here, after the water rises, the water is clear, not muddy muddy water, which makes him, a person who is accustomed to seeing the muddy water of the earth, yellow water and black water, sigh with emotion.

Back in Shanjing, Hua Shenguang entered the house, and suddenly there was a feeling of coldness, at this time in the past, Xiao Ye would definitely come up, send him dry clothes, take off the wet clothes for him, and make hot tea for him, but now, Xiao Ye is gone. Hua Shenguang smiled: "I didn't expect my dependence on Xiao Ye to be so strong unconsciously, alas, let me, the prince, do these things myself." ”

As soon as he changed into dry clothes, Li Guozhong walked in: "Lord Wang, the last general saw the return of the spirit eagle and knew that you had returned, so he immediately came to report to you, the 50,000 rafts and boats have been built." ”

"So fast?" Hua Shenguang was happy in his heart, "Originally, I thought it would take a few days, but since it was so fast, then I ordered to go down and use it as soon as possible, so that all the soldiers are familiar with it, each raft or boat, equipped with five people, two people paddling to earn poles, three people fighting, adopting a mix of archers, spearmen, etc., and telling the soldiers to let them work hard for a few days, and the decisive battle is imminent, and then the enemy army will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and there will be heavy rewards!"

"Yes, lord!"

Meanwhile, along a small river, hundreds of kilometers north of Jianping County, 50 soldiers are organizing villagers to reinforce a damaged embankment. These soldiers were not from the Wind Country, but were sent out by Hua Shenguang.

"Come on, folks, plug up this embankment and strengthen it with stones, so that it won't be washed away when the water is bigger. One soldier said loudly.

"Come on, come on!" the village chief commanded hundreds of villagers, moving stones and sandbags to block the damaged embankment.

"The officer is such a good man, on behalf of the villagers, I thank you again. The village chief said gratefully.

"Village chief, why bother to say thank you? My prince has always practiced a benevolent government that is people-oriented and serves the people, and everyone in the area under the prince's rule knows and knows it. The prince of my family gathered many capable people and calculated that this year's rain would be unusually heavy, and he was afraid that everyone would suffer losses, so he specially sent us out to secretly help the villagers repair the river embankment and divert the river water to prevent it from happening. ”

"Yes, Lord Hua's kindness, I have heard about it a long time ago, and now he actually sent all the officers to go deep into here regardless of the danger, this is Zeng Huainan's rear! You came to help us, it really moved me and others. On the other hand, look at Zeng Huainan, who also sent people to kill our people and rob us of our property and harvest, this is simply a world of difference! And the officials of our Fengguo Country, I am afraid that they are all playing with women, drinking well, and eating well in the big courtyard and big mansion, so they will not think of the danger brought about by the rising river, and they will not take the initiative to help us in this relatively remote place close to Luo Ye Mountain. The village chief said.

"Village chiefs, those who are officials, with their IQ, I'm afraid they can't imagine that the water will rise when it rains heavily, their brains are not used to think about seeking benefits for our people, but to think about how to fill their own pockets, spend all day drinking, and how to escape when Lord Hua attacks. Another villager said loudly.

Suddenly, dozens of people who were close to each other burst into laughter.

"This brother said it well, do you know, in fact, a few days ago, the soldiers of the Wind Country who made a lot of noise robbed the people of melons, those melons were purchased by the prince of my family privately, and were given to our soldiers to quench their thirst and quench the heat, the prince first cared about our ordinary soldiers, and secondly, he saw that the people had a good harvest, but there was no market, and he felt ashamed of the people, after all, the two countries were at war, which affected the people's sales, so the prince wanted to compensate at that time, but it was taken away by Lin Dayong on that dog day. ”

"Lord Hua really loves the people like a son, folks, let's all support Lord Hua Shenguang, okay?"

"Okay, support Hua Wangye!

In another place, a small river ten meters wide was slowly being intercepted by thirty soldiers of the Great Ping Kingdom.

"One, two, three, push!" In the sound of the neat trumpet, a large stone of more than 100,000 catties was pushed into the river, and the big stone immediately stopped the flow of water, and the upstream river had to make a detour and flow down from the main river channel more than 20 meters away.

Such scenes were quietly staged in the north and south river basins, either with the participation of local people, or by the soldiers of the Daping Kingdom secretly alone, or by cutting off the tributaries of the small river, or repairing the embankment to prevent the river from washing away the embankment when the water rises, reducing the power of the downstream water disaster, and at the same time preventing the people along the river from suffering losses.

The upper reaches of the Nanbei River, which were originally close to the Luoye Mountains, were relatively unpopulated, and the officials of the Fengguo would not come to inspect these places at all, and now it was a continuous heavy rain, and the people who went out were even more scarce, so these indirectly provided cover for the soldiers of the Daping Kingdom. And for the action of repairing the river embankment, many people of the Feng Country spontaneously came to help, and some of the people in the river section knew that it was Hua Shenguang who sent people to repair the river embankment for them, and the reaction was even more enthusiastic, just like the scene that happened just now, the soldiers of the Daping Kingdom took advantage of the situation and publicized Hua Shenguang's policy of loving the people on the spot.

In the final analysis, Lin Dayong's good deeds have pushed many people to the opposite side of the Wind Country, and when the people heard Hua Shenguang's benevolent government, they all yearned for it, and they couldn't wait for Hua Shenguang's army to immediately come over and take over where they were.

Sometimes, the thinking of ordinary people is actually very simple, they are at the lowest level of the whole society, they do not have the lofty revenge of the warriors, they want to cultivate mana, they want to be famous all over the world, and they do not have the pedantic feelings of literati and students, no matter whether the country is good or bad, they all have a patriotic enthusiasm, and they want to protect the family and defend the country. As long as they can live and work in peace, that's enough.
