Burigud raised his eyes and stared at Jiaohe tightly, and he said in a cold voice, "You are from Zheng Guo, what does the life or death of the desert people have to do with you? Or ......" he looked at Jiaohe***'s chest in the firelight, "you admit your identity."

"I'm Zheng Guoren." Jiaohe replied sternly, "I am Jiaohe."

Burigood rebelled, and he asked, "Then why do you care about the life and death of the desert people, I remember, we desert people were called liukou by your Zheng Guoren, the meaning of thieves. We are enemies."

Jiaohe stood up and slid down the woolen blanket wrapped around his shoulders, revealing the lifelike eagle totem on his chest.

"We are enemies." Jiaohe looked down on Burigood condescendingly, "But our general taught me a lesson."

Burigood looked up at him and asked, "What is the reason?"

Jiaohe stared at him and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Břigood's eyes lit up, he looked at Jiaohe, and asked, "So we're friends now?"

Jiaohe stretched out his right hand over the flickering bonfire.

Břigood stared at his hand, but did not get up or speak.

Jiaohe clenched his fist and slammed it into his chest, then stretched it out again, and said solemnly, "In the name of Talaten, I swear that I will be your wind and sand. In the next battle, I will give my back to you, never betray, and share our lives."

Břigood took a deep breath, he grew up, his tall figure formed a clear confrontation with Jiaohe, he reached out and grabbed Jiaohe's wrist, and said, "Wind and sand, under the gaze of Talaten, I will share my life with you, and never betray until the moment of death—"

"Nope." He interrupted him "until the moment of victory over the Canadians."

Burigood gazed at the river for a long time, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Until the victory over the Canadians."

The sacred pact had been made, and Burigood stepped on his scimitar, lifted the curtain and turned sideways, and the two of them rode their horses in the starry night, and galloped in the direction of the left court.

That night, a light frost and rain fell in the desert.

This means that summer has arrived.

The rivers are choppy, the rivers are rolling, and the floods that the people of Yanzhou have been worried about year after year broke out on this day.

The undulating ocean swelled in the starry night, roaring and crashing against the dam. On the high shore road, the soldiers ran quickly with sandbags on their backs, and the leading soldier Cao wiped the rain on his face fiercely, and shouted: "Quick! Hurry up and !!."

The soldiers were soaking wet, and their boots were soaked by the sloping river. Panting and gritting their teeth, they threw the sandbags on their shoulders into the inner ditch at the mouth of the dam, and then turned around and ran down the steps of the city wall again.

Chen Qiusheng walked along the dam, the fluttering wind and rain hit the coat on his body, and the sound of crackling raindrops sounded on the hat.

Bing Cao came running quickly, then knelt on one knee and clenched his fists very quickly, and said in a hurry and heavily, "My lord, no. The water in the inner canal overflowed so badly that sandbags melted in a blink of an eye. If this continues, I'm afraid ......."

Hyocao's gaze turned to the hills a few miles below the inner canal, and the glowing lights faintly shone beneath the towering hills, which were the houses of the tea households closest to the dam.

"The floodgates are not high enough, and then let the water fill up for less than half an hour." Bing Cao gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "The earthen houses of these tea farmers are about to be flooded!"

Chen Qiusheng turned around and walked to the end of the dam facing the river, he stroked the shore and looked down, the sound of the waves exploded in his ears, and the river water poured him all over.

"Send someone." Chen Qiusheng indifferently glanced left and right at the wall of the dam, "Immediately evacuate the people and move to Yanzhou. Then he ordered the soldiers to untie the sandbags, and spread the sand on the inside of the dam, and fix it in a frame made of bamboo strips, which must be as high as the dam." Chen Qiusheng turned around and walked quickly, pointing to the inside of the dam, "From here, sand canals will be piled up along the way." He's pointing to one side, "Go there."

Bing Cao glanced in the direction he was pointing, and said in horror, "My lord! The hills are full of tea fields, and if you go to that place with water, you may be flooded

Tea seedlings. Yanzhou already depends on the tea mountains for its livelihood, if the tea fields are flooded, won't those tea farmers make trouble in the sky!"

"This is the order of the captain, and then the announcement will be made, and the responsibility of the captain will be borne by himself." Chen Qiusheng turned to look at Bing Cao, "You do it boldly, most of the soldiers in the army are tea households from Yanzhou, if anyone doesn't allow it, they will be killed immediately!" Those who have been wronged." He put his hands behind his waist and said slowly, "When the flood is over, go to the governor's house." Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and this captain is waiting for those who come."

Bing Cao was shocked by his momentum, he raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Qiusheng, seeing that he was full of confidence, and he also arched his fist with confidence, shouting, "Woo!"

"Everyone, follow me!" Soldier Cao Zhen shouted, leading the soldiers on the dam to run downward, "Open the sandbags!"

When the soldiers heard this, they stopped, and they panted and turned their heads suspiciously, and one of them had the audacity to ask, "What do you mean?"

"On the orders of Lord Captain Ting, you should immediately pile up the sand here at the dam, and this place needs to be as high as the dam." Bing Cao guided from left to right, "Go to the other end, pile it into a ditch, and fix it with bamboo strips, quickly!"

Most of these Yanzhou soldiers are veterans who follow Jiang Zimo, and they take the lead in the big flood every year, and they immediately understand the consequences of such an approach.

"No, sir!" A veteran, who had passed his forties last year, shouted anxiously, "That big mountain is the home of small relatives, and if this water is passed, it will definitely flood the tea fields." My lord, it is summer now, and the tea seedlings are all growing, and if there is a great flood, the whole year's harvest will be ruined!" The veteran was indignant, "Dare to ask my lord, is this to force me to die?!"

"This is a military order issued by Lord Tingwei Zheng, if you don't obey, you will be decided!" Bing Cao's thumb pushed the hilt of the knife with a cold glow, "Who dares to disobey?!"

"Your Excellency, you're going to force me to die!" A soldier shouted, and he excitedly pointed to the figure on the dam, "He Chen Qiusheng is not from Yanzhou, and he has nothing to do with us. Flooding the tea fields is our life! Adults, such actions, the small ones do not obey, the small ones cry out for grievances, and cry out for the people of Yanzhou!"

"Those who have been wronged can wait for the flood to go to the state to avenge their grievances, now the situation is critical, if you dare to disobey the order, Lao Tzu will enforce the law and kill you to correct military discipline!" The soldier took out his steel knife and pointed at the troublesome soldiers, "Do you pile up?!" Chinese Net

When the soldier saw the knife holder and neck, he immediately wailed and wept bitterly. But he reluctantly untied the sandbags and dumped the sand on the side of the dam in grief.

The rest of the soldiers did so with sad faces, only occasionally staring at Chen Qiusheng's back when they looked at the top of the dam, and there was anger and resentment in their eyes.

"If you do this, the people of the 14 counties of Yanzhou will regard you as an enemy." Gu Yaozhi walked to him in his robe, his shoes were full of mud, "Qiu Sheng, is it worth it?"

Chen Qiusheng inspected the soldiers under the dam, and after observing, he said, "I came to Yanzhou to convict Jiang Zimo, and this move is like killing my father in front of my son, if I want fame, I shouldn't be here."

"You condemned Jiang Zimo, but the great cause he left behind was you cleaning up." Gu Yaozhi turned to look at the surging waves that crashed into the dam, "The water in Yanzhou is surging endlessly, and these mountains are high and high but the persevering water of the Sichuan River will one day flood Yanzhou. You are not only an enemy of the people, but also an enemy of heaven and earth. Qiu Sheng, you don't talk much, and if you do this, no one will really understand you."

The two stood on their sides, Gu Yaozhi looked at the river with a sad look, while Chen Qiusheng looked at the lights of thousands of homes not far away, and his expression was indifferent and he couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.

"You'll understand me." Chen Qiusheng looked at the flickering candlelight in the mountains and forests, "So you have already gone to comfort the people of the tea households to flee." Chen Qiusheng looked at him sideways, "Remote, I'm ...... Thank you."

He leaned over and bowed, but Gu Yaozhi reached out early to catch his hand. Gu Yaozhi grabbed his hand and used up his weak strength.

"It's me who should thank you." Gu Yaozhi lowered his eyes with a sad expression, "You took all the responsibility of drowning the tea fields into your arms, but in exchange for the complaints of the people. Qiu Sheng." He gently called out Chen Qiusheng's name, "You have achieved my name, what about you? The world will only remember that you are a living Yama, a living Yama who has no affection. But you are reasonable, and all kinds of measures are for the people, so,

Why bother?"

"The security of the country is in the law, and the fortune of the country is in the people. Without a people, there is no country." Chen Qiusheng gently withdrew his hand, "They can hate me, but they can live."

Gu Yaozhi took a deep breath, he looked at Chen Qiusheng and sighed faintly.

With a thud, the waves crashed against the dam, and the splash of water rained down on the heads of the two men.

The momentum of the water is gradually becoming more and more violent, and wave after wave of angry waves are rolling in, hitting the dam and the water channel of the inner canal is also gurgling on the ground.

"Quick! Hurry up!" While weaving the bamboo strips and weaving them into a cross-linked interface, Bingcao urged the soldiers around him, "It's all tied tightly, be careful!"

The bamboo strips are very fast, these soldiers are all Yanzhou people, and they know how to weave bamboo strips to pick tea since they were children, so they are extremely proficient. The bamboo strips are getting higher and denser in the gaps that are spliced, stretched and expanded.

The soldiers at the top of the dam fastened the bamboo strips to the dam with ropes, and then dumped the sand, and soon a canal of sand and soil was piled up quickly towards the tea fields of the mountain.

Grunt, grunt.

Seeing the situation, Chen Qiusheng grabbed Gu Yaozhi's hand and said urgently, "Quick, follow me!"

Chen Qiusheng pulled the stumbling Gu Yaozhi towards the bottom of the city wall, and Gu Yaozhi glanced at the ocean outside the dam as he walked down. Hearing the rumbling sound of the tide, his eyes widened slightly, and he watched a wave that was higher than the dam and seemed to be about to rise to the sky!

Gu Yaozhi hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

He grabbed Chen Qiusheng's hand, and immediately pulled the person backwards and ran towards the attic on the dam, his speed was not fast, so Chen Qiusheng quickly followed him.
