Everyone was taken aback, although the sound felt far away, but it was also getting closer, and the speed was very fast, standing on a high place, and even a piece of black pressure could be seen rushing towards this side quickly.

"Master Hou, the upstream embankment has burst." Someone came galloping, shouting with internal force as they ran.

"Let's go." Jiang Yan shouted.

When they heard this, they didn't care about anything, so they got up and began to hurry, although they were far away from that side, but when the flood really came down, the area of inundation could not be estimated, so the farther away they were, the safer it was.

There are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in total, and the team is very large and very long, but they have already worked hard to trek for most of the night, and the distance to go out is not close, especially when they go all the way to the north, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and all, when the black and oppressive flood rushes in, it is not so big when it comes here.

The last of the soldiers were flooded, but the water level was just above their necks, and they quickly retreated.

At this time, the most fortunate are those people, if they don't follow, then at this time, they must be washed away by the flood without a trace, which is life-saving.

So, I don't know who started it, and suddenly the people knelt down and shouted "Zhenguo Hou", even higher than the sound of the flood.

Li Qi was a little excited, and shouted along.

"Okay, it's important to hurry up, rush to Cangzhou as soon as possible." Jiang Yan raised his hand and gestured.

The shouts of the crowd stopped, and then continued to hurry, and at this time the rush seemed to be more powerful, after all, if you don't run, you will die, and now follow the Marquis of Zhenguo, but if you can run out, there will be a way to live.

At this time, there was already a sea in Nanyang City, and those people who did not follow regretted not being at the beginning, of course, many people were washed away before they had time to regret it.

Although Xia Chunlin also reacted later, after all, it was half a day late, so in the process of evacuation, many soldiers were swept into the flood, and when they finally retreated to safety, they found that more than half of the 200,000 troops that had been assembled had been lost.

"Damn." Xia Chunlin's angry palm knocked down a tree on the side of the road.

"Well, it's no use going crazy now." Li Zhou also looked sad, "Let's go back to Xinyang first, and stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood." ”

Fortunately, there was no flood on the Xinyang side, otherwise, they would really have become rogues.

Xia Chunlin knew that the best way at this time was to go back, but he was really unwilling, the planning for most of the year was hard, and as a result, a big flood was all in vain.

"That's fine, the Yangtze River is the boundary, in the future, we can unify the entire Jiangnan, and we can also set up another stove." Li Zhou was not so uncomfortable, "When we have the opportunity, let's fight across the river again." ”

So, the Qing army on the side of the Qing monarch, who had been fighting for half a year, returned to the starting point again, but when he left, he was high-spirited, and he felt that he would definitely be able to smash Huanglong, but when he came back, he was disgraced, and even many people lost their relatives.

Even the folk began to spread a saying, that is, the Marquis of Xinyang and the eldest prince are perverse, and they are simply unjustifiable, so they will annoy the heavens, and the big water is the punishment for rebellion.

Xia Chunlin was very angry when he found out, and ordered the heads of several communicators to be cut off, and then although everyone didn't dare to say it on the surface, but in private, it spread even more powerfully, and even affected the Red Plum Sect, because the Red Plum Sect supported the Qing Jun side, and now because of heavy losses, it was useless, so everyone began to doubt the rationality of the Red Plum Sect.

At this time, Jiang Yan had already led everyone to the outside of Cangzhou City, and did not rashly ask to enter the city, but set up camp outside the city, and also prepared a refugee area.

After that, let people go into the city to negotiate with the garrison of Cangzhou City, because although it also rained heavily in Cangzhou City, it did not cause floods, so these victims of Nanyang City should come to ask for help.

The garrison of Cangzhou City is called Meng Bozhao, and the magistrate is called Song Kuang, these two are brothers-in-law, they are both the same selfish and greedy, but they are also very cautious.

Over the years, Cangzhou has almost been controlled by the two of them.

At this time, Jiang Yan sent people to ask them to provide disaster relief and resettle the victims, and the two of them together must not do it, after all, the people outside are Jiang Yan, but they can't do it in vain, they must be beneficial.

Therefore, when Li Wu came to inform them, they did not refuse, but they did not arrange it immediately, but kept crying about poverty and difficulties.

Jiang Yan laughed angrily when he heard this, and could only enter the city in person.

Meng Bozhao and Song Kuang received them diligently, and then they were still crying poor.

Jiang Yan didn't listen to this at all, but just glanced at the two of them lightly: "Don't talk so much, give Ben Hou a precise word now, can you do it?" ”

"This ......" The two of them looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.

"Give you one last chance, can or can't."

"Master Hou, it's not that we can't, but it's really difficult." Meng Bozhao pulled the corners of his mouth, he was also a military general, and his hand pressed on the saber at his waist, "I also have 30,000 garrisons here to feed, so ......"

"Is that what you can't do?"

Meng Bozhao tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Then there's not much to say." Jiang Yan got up and walked out, "Let's do it." ”

Then, before Meng Bozhao could react, the sword in Li Wu's hand was already unsheathed, and then he heard a pop, and the tall body fell directly to the ground, his eyes widened, and only blood splattered out of his neck.

It's a sword to seal the throat.

Song Kuang was so frightened that when Li Wu looked at him, he knelt down directly: "Master Hou spares his life, the officials are capable, and they promise to do a good job." ”

Li Wu directly accepted the sword: "Then do it well." ”

Soon, the garrison of Cangzhou City was in charge of Jiang Yan, and the surviving Song Mine did not dare to come out at all, and began to actively resettle the victims, and would report to Jiang Yan from time to time.

With Cangzhou City's intervention, more than 30,000 victims were quickly properly resettled, and all of them ate hot rice porridge.

However, Song Kuang didn't dare to relax at all, because the grain in the granary was embezzled by him a lot, and the actual survival in it didn't match the amount at all, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply told the truth, fortunately, Jiang Yan didn't cut him directly, but let him redeem his merits and have a chance to live.

In the capital, Ning Ruyan felt like a year every day, because of the flood, she couldn't receive the letter from Xinyang, but fortunately, Jiang Yan had a letter delivered. (End of chapter)
