Chapter 343: The Way to Death, Reinforcements Are Coming
"Ahem." Ship
The south gate of the city wall tower.
After getting Xu Yi's tacit consent.
Sun Daohua coughed lightly twice and cleared his throat, and then got up from the Taishi chair.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the heads of the family who were not satisfied with the panic on their faces three steps away.
"You have a heart."
"On behalf of the people of Shanggu County, this official has thanked you for your generosity."
Sun Daohua's face was slightly straightened, and he bowed. Ship
"Sun Jun's words are serious, and we are also from Shanggu County, this is a matter within our boundaries, how dare we accept Sun Jun's big gift."
"Sun Junshou can't be helped, can't be helped."
"Sun Junshou tortured me and waited."
「......」
Xu Yi looked at the heads of the family who were all unrighteous and stern, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
After a little composure.
Xu Yi took out several brand-new account books from the hem of his sleeve, lit them with a fire fold, and threw them aside. Ship
Without saying a word, he turned and walked to the other side of the wall.
Not far away, a group of family heads who greeted Sun Daohua with righteousness and solemnity.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile.
The heart is filled with a strong fear and a faint sense of flesh pain.
If it weren't for the quick response of everyone, who chose to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, God knows how today's events would have ended.
I am afraid that it is very likely to follow in the footsteps of the Wang family. Ship
Not much.
The heads of the family fled away from the south gate on the grounds of going home to dispatch.
Leaving Langya Wang Jing alone on the city wall.
He also wants to go.
But all around him are the guards of the Yanwang Mansion with big shoulders and round waists.
"Swallow...... His Royal Highness King Yan ......"
"I...... My royal family is also willing to spend a lot of money and grain to tide over the difficulties with Shanggu County." Ship
Wang Jing raised his head with difficulty and looked at Xu Yi's back not far away, and plucked up his courage to say.
Hearing this, Xu Yi slowly turned around and glanced coldly at Wang Jing who was sitting in the corner.
"Sun Junshou, escort this person to the Yan Palace."
"When Gu returns, he will interrogate him personally."
Xu Yi looked at Sun Daohua, who was returning quickly from the entrance of the city wall, and commanded in a deep voice.
"Swallow...... His Royal Highness King Yan ......"
"Ho...... Why do you want to kill them all like this?" Ship
Wang Jingyan's face changed instantly when he heard this.
"Obey!"
Sun Daohua paused and bowed.
"His Royal Highness King Yan! Think twice!"
"I am a descendant of the Langya Wang family......
Without waiting for Wang Jing to die and struggle, the guards of the Yan Wangfu guarding beside him directly knocked him completely unconscious with a knife.
Not much. Ship
Sun Daohua returned again.
"Lord Wang."
"What should the people of the Wang family do?"
Sun Daohua walked to Xu Yi's side and bowed to each other.
"Just do what you do."
Xu Yi turned his back to Sun Daohua and said in a cold voice.
According to the law of the Great Zhou, those who hide a population of more than 100 people will be beheaded all over the house. Ship
And the population of the Wang family is not more than 100 people.
The reason why Xu Yi will keep the dozens of families is to wait for the liquidation in the future.
In addition to not wanting to grow branches and kill chickens to take eggs.
There is also an element that is not humane.
Even those dozens of families and powerful squires are quite obedient to a certain extent.
It will be useful to stay.
The Wang family is obviously not among them. Ship
That being the case, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
By the way, it can also alleviate a little bit of Yan Wang's wealth
Political crisis.
"Obey!"
Sun Daohua's face was revealed, and he bowed again.
"The thousand soldiers outside the city will remain with you."
Xu Yi added pointedly.
"Please rest assured that the next official will live up to the prince's expectations." Ship
Sun Daohua understood in his heart.
"The safety of Fuyang City and Yanghe is all up to Sun Jun."
Xu Yi slowly turned around and said with a serious face.
"The prince wants to go to the city?"
Sun Daohua, who had already guessed, couldn't help but confirm when he heard this.
"There is no room for loss in the city."
Xu Yi confirmed. Ship
"Please rest assured."
"As long as the lower officials still live, there will never be a difference between Fuyang City and Yanghe."
Sun Daohua bowed deeply with an extremely serious expression.
So far.
Sun Daohua is not clear.
When today, the only one who can save Shanggu County is the soldiers of King Yan outside the city wall.
Family? Ship
Court?
Sun Daohua shook his head noncommittally.
Slowly got up and watched Xu Yi walk down the city wall without hesitation.
Not much.
The three-yuan green canopy carriage drove out of Fuyang City without hesitation under the dark clouds.
After the figure of the three-way green canopy carriage gradually blurred in sight.
Sun Daohua took a deep breath of humid air. Ship
Turning to look at the officials behind him.
With an extremely serious expression, he said in a deep voice: "In the past, how did everyone be, this official can open one eye and close one eye."
"But this is the time when my life and death in Kamiya County are at stake!"
"At this time, if anyone dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, don't blame the official for not being emotional!"
......
......
In front of the welcome pavilion five miles from the south gate of Fuyang City. Ship
Countless soldiers of the king's battalion spontaneously lined up one neat phalanx after another.
In the procession that stretches for miles like a dragon on the official road.
Except for the sound of war horses and the sound of plowing from time to time, there was no other sound.
With the three-wheel green canopy carriage coming slowly.
The soldiers, who were already straight-backed, unconsciously straightened up a little again.
"The last general will meet the prince!"
"We meet the prince!" Ship
Xin Sixuan, Qu Baotian and other generals walked quickly towards the three-yuan green canopy carriage.
Meanwhile.
Countless soldiers of the Wang battalion bowed their heads to the three-yuan green canopy carriage.
The voices of nearly 20,000 people soared into the sky from the front of the guest pavilion.
Faintly, the black clouds in the sky seemed to be a little thinner.
"Excuse me."
Xu Yi walked out of the carriage and waved his hand slightly. Ship
Immediately, with the support of Yang Xian'an, he climbed onto the roof of the three-yuan green caravans.
"Thank you, Lord Xie."
After the thank-you gift, nearly 20,000 eyes instantly converged on Xu Yi's body.
"Wang Jingbo."
Xu Yi stood on the roof of the car and said.
"The end will be!"
Hearing this, the herald Wang Jingbo quickly stepped forward and saluted with a fist. Ship
"In half an hour, the heralds cover every phalanx!"
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice.
"Obey!"
Wang Jingbo saluted again, then quickly turned around and rushed towards the herald.
Dozens of breaths later.
Five hundred horses galloped away at the same time.
Half a quarter of an hour later. Ship
The heralds with 500 waist flags and large copper trumpets were connected end to end in front of the huge long dragon.
"Lord Qiqi! The heralds are all in place!"
Wang Jingbo galloped wildly to a hundred steps away from the three green canopy horses and turned over
After dismounting, he galloped all the way.
"Lonely Yan Wang Yi!"
"Soldiers, listen carefully!"
"Two days ago! It's raining heavily!"
"Ueya-gun is flooded!" Ship
"The Sanggan River is at risk of bursting at any time!"
"Once the Sangan River bursts! Look! Pan County! The three cities of Xia Luo may become an ocean in an instant!"
"More than 100,000 people in the three cities will probably be deeply affected by the flood!"
"Lonely as the king of Yan Land! Thou art a pawn of the swallow!"
"Defend the land! Protect the people! It's our responsibility! It is also our fate!"
"The people are in trouble today, and they are in danger!"
"Can we ignore it?" Ship
Xu Yi stood on top of the three-wheel green canopy carriage, ignoring the fierce cold wind that was constantly hitting him, and asked in a deep voice facing the dragon in front of him.
After the five hundred heralds continued to transmit it, it was clearly and unmistakably transmitted to the ears of every soldier of the king's battalion.
Not much.
The sound of uniform responses came one after another.
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"Nope!" Ship
Gradually, the voices of one after the other gradually converged.
Its sound was so loud that it could be clearly heard in the southern city of Fuyang City.
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, and the shouts of returning to one came and went again.
Eventually, it completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
"A natural disaster wants to destroy my home! Harm my neighbor!"
"Shall I say yes?"
Xu Yi asked in a deep voice again. Ship
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
The deafening response rang out again.
Xu Yi looked at the flushed face in front of him.
He nodded imperceptibly.
The Heart of the Army is available! Morale is more available! Ship
"Obey the orders!"
"Let's go!"
"The target is outside the city! Upper reaches of the Sangan River!"
Xu Yi calmed down slightly, and immediately ordered in a deep voice!
"Obey!"
Nearly 20,000 soldiers responded in unison.
When the voice of obedience gradually dissipates between heaven and earth. Ship
The long black dragon that stretched for miles outside Fuyang City swam slowly again.
Meanwhile.
Xu Yi stepped off the roof and walked into the carriage again.
The three-wheeled carriage followed closely behind the long dragon.
Inside the three-wheel green canopy carriage.
Xu Yi leaned on the soft couch.
In the unusually bumpy road, he constantly checked and filled in the gaps. Ship
Half an hour later.
The black dragon slowed down.
Eventually, it came to a complete halt after a quarter of an hour.
Nearly 20,000 Yan Wang soldiers turned over and dismounted at the same time with great tacit understanding.
He took out dry food and water from the package, and when he drank it in small sips, he constantly washed the nose of the war horse with the water standing next to him.
Three-way green canopy carriage place.
Xu Yi staggered out of the carriage. Ship
"Sixth Master, are you okay?"
"Nothing."
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, signaling that Yang Xian'an did not need to be supported.
"Summons the order of Xia Luo County, Hou Wenyuan, the county commander of Pan County, Zhu Qingxiong, and the county commander Xu Zhenggui."
"Order the three of them to prepare more shovels, pickaxes, sacks, and other things."
"If nothing else, the army will be able to reach the Sangan River by midnight or so."
"Besides." Ship
"Order Hou Wenyuan, Zhu Qingxiong, and Xu Zhenggui to immediately move the grain and grass of the county government to the nearest high place such as the top of the mountain."
"Prepare for the worst."
After taking a few sips of water, Xu Yi turned to look at the herald Wang Jingbo and ordered in a deep voice.
"Obey!"
After Wang Jingbo clasped his fists and saluted, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the herald not far away.
After dozens of heralds turned on their horses again and galloped away.
Xu Yi looked up at the sky expressionlessly. Ship
Fang Xiao didn't see him for half an hour.
The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be crumbling.
Not much.
Nearly 20,000 Yan Wang soldiers turned on their horses again and went straight to the city in the face of the cold wind.
The black dragon walks through the room.
In addition to leaving the ground full of mud.
Another empty green canopy car sat alone. Ship
......
......
Under a dim sky.
It is halfway up a barren hill more than 50 miles outside the city.
The three counties of Yanyi, Pan County, and Xia Luo gathered together again.
The sound of a huge stream of water came from not far from the barren mountain.
Looking down from the halfway point of the hill. Ship
I saw countless black figures running along the embankment.
"Look at this day, I'm afraid it won't be long before the heavy rain arrives again."
"Hou County Order, Zhu County Order, can there still be manpower?"
"If there are no extra manpower, the city is in danger today."
The muddy Jiaocheng County made Xu Zhenggui look at Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong weakly.
All the young men in the entire city have been brought here by him.
The elderly, the weak, women and children have been placed around their villages to clean up the river urgently. Ship
In order to be able to have even a little more vitality.
In the face of the catastrophe.
The people of the city really moved their families to fight, regardless of men, women, and children.
But even then, it was not enough.
In desperation.
Xu Zhenggui had to be cheeky and looked for Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong several times to borrow people.
Kepan County and Lower Los Angeles are also covered by this crisis. Ship
In the case of already half of the seconded staff.
Where will they find manpower again?
"Where else are the staff?"
"Those who can come have already come."
"The remaining half of the people are busy cleaning up the county's rivers at this time."
"Even if the old man forcibly requisitioned him, I am afraid he will not move half a step."
Zhu Qingxiong, who was past the year of the Mandate of Heaven, sighed weakly. Ship
He knew the importance of the city in this natural disaster.
But the people of Pan County don't know.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy to recruit half of them.
More?
If there is more fear of Mr. Pan County's rate, Mr. will change.
"It's the same with Lower Los Angeles."
Hou Wenyuan is also weak and weak. Ship
In the three cities of Yanjiao, Panxian and Xialuo.
Los Angeles has the smallest number of people, only more than 6,000 households.
Even if you count the more than 3,000 families who fled from Liaodong and other places.
It's just nearly 10,000 households.
Pan County needs to leave half of the manpower to clean up the river in case of emergency.
The same is true of Lower Los Angeles.
"Still." Ship
Just when Xu Zhenggui's face was full of despair.
Hou Wenyuan quickly spoke, "Not long ago, Hou Mou had already written to ask the prince for help."
"Calculate the time, you can almost get to Frustrated Yang City around the time of the unitary hour."
Hear this.
Xu Zhenggui, who had a little hope, was full of despair again.
"It's too late."
"After sensing that something was wrong, I also wrote to His Royal Highness King Yan and Sun Junshou for help." Ship
"Count the hours, the people sent have almost arrived in Frustrated Sun City."
"Even if His Royal Highness King Yan and Sun Junshou receive a request for help, immediately
Send troops to help."
"Wait for His Royal Highness King Yan and Sun Junshou's reinforcements to arrive at the city."
"I'm afraid it's been three days."
"At that time, I am afraid that the city will have already become an ocean."
Xu Zhenggui shook his head again and again with a look of despair on his face.
Hou Wenyuan can think of asking for help, how could Xu Zhenggui not think of it? Ship
It's a shame.
Whether it is Sun Daohua's county soldiers, people's husbands, or Xu Yi's Yan Wang soldiers.
Which of them does not need time to dispatch soldiers, recruit people, and hurry?
And what is most lacking in the city these days is time.
And even more.
To buy time.
Xu Zhenggui also sent people to ask for help from the neighboring cities of Dai County and Dangcheng. Ship
But it doesn't work.
The extent of this natural disaster is far beyond his imagination.
Today's Dai County and Dangcheng County Commanders are also too busy to take care of themselves.
How will they come to his aid?
"I really can't ...... it."
"I really can't do it, I can only ......"
"Only ......" ship
Xu Zhenggui looked up at the increasingly low black clouds in the sky.
But for some reason, the words that have come to my lips cannot be spoken.
And then beside him.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong both frowned tightly, staring at the black figures below who kept coming and going by the river embankment.
and the increasingly gasping Sangan River.
The increasingly cold wind made neither of them hear Xu Zhenggui's hesitant voice.
"Hou County Order! Zhu County Order!" Ship
I don't know how long it took, Xu Zhenggui suddenly looked at Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong with a resolute expression.
Seeing Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong, they heard the voice.
Xu Zhenggui resolutely said, "The two of you will immediately return to Xia Luo and Pan County, and organize the people to take refuge in the high mountains."
"Xu will also order the officials to organize the people to flee to the mountains."
"Let's save as much as we can!"
The words fell.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong's faces changed in an instant. Ship
"Xu County Decree wants to release water to flood the city?!"
Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong asked in unison with shocked faces.
"What is the plan now but to flood the city?"
"Flooding the city may not be the solution to this natural disaster."
"But if you don't flood the city, there will be no solution to the natural disaster here!"
"That's right! It's better to give it a go! Bet on that chance!"
"Hou County Order, Zhu County Order and relax!" Ship
"All the evil consequences of this matter are inherited by Xu alone! It has nothing to do with the two of you!"
"I only ask the two of you to think about Xu Mou's heart for the sake of the people."
"On behalf of Xu, take care of Xu's wife and children!"
Xu Zhenggui said in a deep voice with a resolute face.
The words fell.
Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong looked at each other silently.
Both of them could see the hesitation in each other's eyes. Ship
As Xu Zhenggui said.
With the present situation, there is no hope for flooding the city.
And the flooding of the city may still be a little bit of life.
But is it child's play to release water and flood the city?
Regardless of the end result.
Xu Zhenggui will definitely die.
And such a big crime, how could Xu Zhenggui say that he would bear it? Ship
"Don't hesitate! Time waits for no one!"
Just when the two hesitated, Xu Zhenggui bent down deeply and bowed his hand to urge.
"Good!"
"Today, Hou will give up his life to accompany the gentleman!"
Hou Wenyuan gritted his teeth resolutely.
"The old man is fifty-six this year, half of his body
What is there to fear from those who have entered into the earth?"
"Hou County Order, I heard that you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness King Yan." Ship
"If the old man unfortunately dies, I hope that the old man will beg His Royal Highness King Yan on behalf of the old man."
"Ask His Royal Highness King Yan to protect the old man's family."
Zhu Qingxiong stroked his beard and said resolutely.
However.
Just as the three of them were discussing the details.
There were faint cheers from the embankment.
Faintly audible cheers, as if "His Royal Highness King Yan's reinforcements are coming!" Ship
