"His Royal Highness King Yan's reinforcements are coming?" Chop

"His Royal Highness King Yan's reinforcements are coming?"

"His Royal Highness King Yan's reinforcements are coming?"

Halfway up the barren hill of the city.

Xu Zhenggui, Hou Wenyuan, and Zhu Qingxiong were all dumbfounded when they heard this.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

"Quick!"

"Go ahead and ask if the news is true!" Chop

"No!"

"No, no, no! It's too slow, too slow."

"I'll go personally, I'll go personally."

After counting the interest.

Xu Zhenggui was the first to come back to his senses, and he wanted to order the official to go to find out whether the news was true.

But at this time, how could he wait for the official to go back?

Xu Zhenggui didn't care about the heart that was almost jumping out of his chest, and immediately dragged his tired body and staggered down the mountain. Chop

"Let's go!"

Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong couldn't help but glance at each other again.

Although there was a slight look of disbelief in his eyes.

But in the end, he quickly followed.

Now, in addition to praying that the news is true, King Yan expects things to happen first, and sends troops to help first, what else can he do?

If the information is false.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be no other way but to open the sluice gates and release water. Chop

And once the sluice gate is opened, the water is released.

What awaits the people of the three cities will inevitably be flooded homes, and years of hard work will be in vain.

Meanwhile.

Xu Zhenggui, Hou Wenyuan, and Zhu Qingxiong are bound to be recorded in the local chronicles.

Hundreds or even thousands of years of incomprehension and infamy.

But if there is still a little bit of his choice.

None of the three wanted to go to the dead-end road of opening the floodgates and releasing water. Chop

Two quarters of an hour later.

Xu Zhenggui, Hou Wenyuan, and Zhu Qingxiong climbed and slid to the foot of the barren mountain.

Meanwhile.

Several cavalrymen, surrounded by more than a dozen servants, crossed a group of cheering people and walked quickly towards the barren mountain.

"How many soldiers and horses have His Royal Highness King Yan sent! When will it arrive?!"

Xu Zhenggui, who was covered in mud, couldn't care about the so-called etiquette, let alone the so-called county order.

Rushing to the front of the war horse with both hands and feet, completely ignoring the fact that the horse that was approaching quickly would kill him if he was not careful. Chop

In a hurry, the leader had to pull the reins hard, and the front hooves of the war horse were instantly raised high.

There was a painful hiss in his mouth.

"Don't die! Get out of the way! Don't delay the military situation!"

The first soldier who avoided Xu Zhenggui quickly turned over and dismounted, and looked at Xu Zhenggui with an angry face.

If it weren't for the military regulations, he really wanted to give the desperate guy in front of him a few kicks.

"I'm Xu Zhenggui, the commander of the county!"

"How many soldiers and horses have His Royal Highness King Yan sent! When will it arrive?!" Chop

Xu Zhenggui, who was full of apprehension, seemed to have never seen the angry face on the soldier's face, and asked quickly again with a nervous face.

"Xu County Order?"

The first soldier couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Then he quickly turned his head to look at the official behind him.

After seeing the official nod again and again.

Only then did he suppress his surprise and quickly replied, "All the soldiers of the Wang battalion were dispatched, and a thousand people stayed in Fuyang City to assist Sun Jun's guard."

"Thousands of people escorted grain, grass, baggage, and other things." Chop

"The remaining 19,000 people are hurrying here."

"You should be able to arrive around midnight."

The words fell.

Xu Zhenggui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at the sky reflexively.

It seems to be trying to tell the time.

But at this time, the sky is low, how can you tell the approximate time?

"What time is it?!" Chop

Xu Zhenggui hurriedly turned around and looked at Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong, who were also covered in mud behind him.

"Roughly...... It's almost time."

Hou Wenyuan put his hands on his knees and panted.

Zhu Qingxiong beside him was even more out of breath, as if he would catch his breath at any time.

"It's almost time, it's almost time."

"Around midnight, around midnight."

"More than four hours, more than four hours." Chop

"How can I live so slowly today!"

Xu Zhenggui was stunned when he heard this, and kept muttering to himself.

"Xu County Order!"

"The prince has an order!"

Before the words were finished, the first soldier who was unintentionally interrupted by Xu Zhenggui could only remind him when he saw this.

"The next official is the county order, Xu Zhenggui welcomes the king's order."

Hearing this, Xu Zhenggui hurriedly stabilized his mind and bowed. Chop

"Xiaguan Xia Luo County ordered Hou Wenyuan to welcome the king's order."

Hou Wenyuan's expression was straight, and he hurriedly bowed to the head soldier.

"Next...... Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan Pan County ...... County Commander Zhu Qingxiong, Gong ...... Welcome to the King's Order!"

Zhu Qingxiong got up with difficulty and bowed to the head soldier.

The first soldier was stunned when he heard this.

The Xialuo County Order and the Pan County Order appeared here at the same time.

And it was covered in mud with the county order, and it was impossible to distinguish the original appearance of the clothes. Chop

This scene obviously greatly exceeded the expectations of the first soldier.

After counting the interest.

The one who admired him made a little settling down for the first soldier.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Pass the king's order!"

"Xu Zhenggui, the commander of Xialuo County, Hou Wenyuan, and Zhu Qingxiong, the county commander of Pan County."

"Prepare shovels, pickaxes, sacks, and other items for the arrival of the army!"

"In addition, immediately transport the grain and grass of the county government to the high mountains to prepare for the worst!" Chop

The words fell.

Xu Zhenggui, Hou Wenyuan, and Zhu Qingxiong were all shocked.

Then he bowed in unison and said, "Your Majesty respectfully obeys the king's order!"

"Three prefectural orders...... Take care." A salute for the first soldier to hug his fist.

I wanted to say more, but when a thousand words came to my mouth, it turned into a simple sentence to take care.

After the figure of the herald of Wang Daying's command quickly disappeared from sight.

Xu Zhenggui, Hou Wenyuan, and Zhu Qingxiong looked at each other silently. Chop

All three of them could see the ease in the eyes of the rest.

Compared to the original expectation of two or three days.

More than four hours of perseverance is really nothing.

Not to mention even if the floodgates are opened and the water is released in accordance with the previous resolution.

It would take at least a day to evacuate the people of the three cities before the floodgates were opened.

Now it's just over four hours.

What is there to be dissatisfied with the three of them? Chop

"Ahem."

"Hou County Order, Zhu County Order, transfer grain and grass, prepare shovels, pickaxes, sacks, etc., and entrust them to the two."

"Xu immediately transferred the people of the whole county to the embankment."

"Even if you use your life to fill it today! Xu will never let any of the river embankments burst."

After a few breaths, Xu Zhenggui cleared his throat and saluted Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong with a serious face.

Instead of spending a lot of time recruiting people from Xialuo and Pan counties.

It is better to order the officials and soldiers of the two cities to prepare shovels, pickaxes, sacks and other things, as well as the reality of transferring grain and grass. Chop

Xu Zhenggui knows this, how can Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong not know?

"Please also rest assured."

After the words fell, Hou Wenyuan and Zhu Qingxiong looked straight together, and then bowed their hands and saluted.

"There are two of them."

composed

Zhenggui solemnly bowed again.

Not much.

Dozens of government officials and county soldiers galloped away on fast horses. Chop

......

......

Meanwhile.

Outside the windy Zhuolu City.

Xing Qitai, who was full of sadness, stood in front of a high slope in the face of the howling cold wind.

The high slope is not far away.

Countless people and servants constantly traveled between the river and the fertile fields. Chop

Compared with the three cities of Yanjiao, Panxian, and Xialuo, which may be flooded at any time.

There is no risk of destroying the city in Zhuolu City.

But the catastrophe caused by the severe water accumulation should not be underestimated.

Notice.

Just last month.

Zhuolu City has just experienced a heavy snowfall that has not been seen in decades.

Now the snow has melted for more than ten days, and there is a heavy rain that has lasted for two days. Chop

This year's harvest in Zhuolu City can be imagined.

Today's Xing Qitai has no other way than to hope that the river will be dredged as soon as possible to drain the water.

Two hours ago.

When Xu Zhenggui cast a wide net for help and arrived in Zhuolu City.

Xing Qitai had been standing in the cold wind for several hours.

Although he is also worried about the water situation of the Sanggan River.

But after more than a year in office, Yu Zhuolucheng's voice was already pitiful. Chop

And this time Zhuolu City first snowed heavily, and then it rained heavily.

The people were already miserable.

At this time, if it is forced to help the city.

I'm afraid that if he doesn't wait for the instigation of the family, the people of Zhuolu City will first rebel against him, the Zhuolu County Order.

That's what I think about.

Xing Qitai, who was standing in the howling wind, sighed deeply with a sad face.

Then he turned his attention back to the various rivers. Chop

For its part.

The priority is to save as much of the crop as possible.

In order to alleviate the imminent food shortage in the near future as much as possible.

As for the Sanggan River and the three cities of Yanjiao, Panxian and Xialuo.

I can only resign myself to fate.

The so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is better to think of it than this.

Just when Xing Qitai was concentrating on dispatching people to clean up the river and drain the drain. Chop

In the distance, a black dragon suddenly appeared.

When the dragon came, it was as if even the earth was trembling helplessly.

"What...... Who ......?"

Xing Qitai quickly turned around and looked, only to see that the black dragon was galloping towards him at a lightning speed.

"Quick! Go and close the gates!"

Seeing this, the gloomy cloud on Xing Qitai's face was instantly replaced by horror.

After biting the tip of his tongue, Xing Qitai had no choice but to be so frightened that his trembling legs trembled, and hurriedly shouted loudly to order the official to close the city gate quickly. Chop

The unknown is always the scariest.

What's more, the black dragon that kept galloping towards it didn't have any conspicuous signs.

"Prefectural ...... Prefectural ......."

"Horse ...... The horses are no longer listening!"

The official beside him looked at the "black dragon" that was becoming clearer and clearer, and his face trembled palely.

"This ...... What a good thing that is?"

"This ...... Where the hell did this cavalry come from?" Chop

"For...... Why didn't you even hear from you before?"

Xing Qitai looked at the suffocating black dragon, and muttered powerlessly with horror on his face.

The people not far from the high slope threw away their farm tools as early as the moment the sound of horses' hooves came, and kept fleeing in the opposite direction.

The children and servants of the family who oversaw the work by the embankment disappeared early

。

Just when Xing Qitai and the others were full of fear.

The black dragon crossed the high slope without stopping, and galloped all the way down the official road towards the southwest.

See here. Chop

Xing Qitai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

God knows how much fear he felt when the army came.

However.

Don't wait for Xing Qitai and the others to get up from the ground.

More than a dozen cavalrymen suddenly broke away from the black dragon and headed straight for the high slope.

Seeing this, Xing Qitaifang's heart was put down and hung high again.

"Plague! King Yan rushes to help! Don't panic!" Chop

"Plague! King Yan rushes to help! Don't panic!"

"Plague! King Yan rushes to help! Don't panic!"

More than a dozen cavalrymen controlled their horses in one hand and kept shouting loudly with a copper trumpet in the other.

"It's the soldiers and horses of His Royal Highness King Yan who have just passed?"

On the high slope, Xing Qitai looked at the official beside him with a face full of disbelief.

"Good...... It seems to be."

The official beside him had a pale face, and nodded silently. Chop

"How long has His Royal Highness been under King Yan?"

"It's not been a year!"

"It took less than a year to train such elite soldiers and horses?"

"This ...... This...... This ......."

Xing Qitai muttered again and again with a face full of disbelief.

He was born in a family of fallen generals in Longxi.

Before gaining fame, I had seen the world. Chop

But in his opinion, the soldiers who were called elite in the past were not as good as the soldiers of King Yan who had traveled on that side, even three points.

Don't wait for Xing Qitai to compare carefully.

More than a dozen cavalrymen who had broken away from the army had already marched to the front of the high slope.

"The people of Gao Po are the officials of Zhuolu City?"

The cavalry leader paused his horse and asked loudly.

"Exactly!"

"I'm Xing Qitai, the commander of Zhulu County!" Chop

Xing Qitai suppressed the horror in his heart and walked quickly towards the bottom of the high slope.

"It turned out to be the Xing County Order."

"That's right."

"Decree of the King!"

"The officials along the way quickly pacified the people."

The cavalry leader looked straight, and then clasped his fists and saluted.

The words fell. Chop

More than a dozen cavalrymen quickly turned their horses and galloped away in the direction where the army had disappeared.

Xing Qitai and the others were left to look at each other at the half-slope.

It's not that Xu Yi is unwilling to notify first.

Time waits for no one.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers rushed away from the outside of Fuyang City without stopping.

In addition to the heralds who went to the three cities of Yanyu, Panxian, and Xialuo, there were one person and five horses.

The rest are all ridden by one person and two horses. Chop

Along the way, in addition to the necessary nostrils of the war horse and feeding bean cakes.

The rest of the time, it's non-stop.

Even if Xu Yi sent troops and horses to notify in advance.

I'm afraid it's also extremely difficult to get away.

It is close to unitary time.

Both horses are exhausted.

The army eventually slowed down. Chop

More than a quarter of an hour passed.

The military has come to a complete standstill.

After the war horse is completely stopped.

After Xu Yi turned over and dismounted, he quickly took out a picture of Kanyu from the horse's ventral pocket.

Meanwhile.

Yang Xian'an silently led the two war horses that Xu Yi was riding, and walked to the side to clean the nostrils of the war horses, feed water, bean cakes and other things.

"Zhuolu City, Hejia Town." Chop

Xu Yi held a map of Kanyu and carefully compared the surrounding terrain.

Once you are sure of your location.

Xu Yi quickly calculated the speed of the march in his mind.

It was a time when the wind was blowing.

If there are no accidents along the way, you can arrive more than an hour early.

That's what I think about.

Xu Yi silently put away the map in his hand, and then sat on the ground, taking advantage of the short rest time to quickly adjust his breathing. Chop

Not much.

Just as the army was about to set off again.

Several drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky and smashed straight on Xu Yi's body.

"It's time to come after all!"

Xu Yi got up slowly, looking up at the increasingly gloomy sky with an extremely solemn face.

The sky had been overcast for nearly a day.

Eventually, it rained. Chop

"Herald! Let's go!"

"On the premise of ensuring safety! If you can stop, you won't stop!"

Xu Yi quickly turned over and dismounted, and ordered in a deep voice.
