Chapter 421: Flood

In the anxious and restless waiting of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, when the morning sun was rising, an invisible trickle suddenly appeared on the horizon, and this trickle rolled forward at the speed of a sprint, and in an instant it ran out of a distance of nearly 100 steps, and a roaring sound faintly came into people's ears. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Pang Tong looked at the horizon, watching the rushing stream getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, what should have come finally came, Ugong Zhaolie and Sima Yi finally dug up the Yellow River, and introduced this ruthless wave into the territory of Jizhou, Yuan Qi, Qi Tian and Zhao Hu obviously failed to find Sima Yi's hiding place and stop him.

Manpower is sometimes poor, especially in the face of the mysterious nature, and any one person seems so small. When the roar became more and more powerful, and the trickle turned into a huge wave in people's sight, everyone's hearts were filled with a wave of horror. When the fire and water were ruthless, looking at the raging currents that were overwhelming, like an ancient giant beast from the wilderness, unstoppably destroying everything that could be destroyed, many ordinary people couldn't help but kneel on the ground, praying silently to the heavens, hoping that the heavens could bless them and survive this catastrophe.

Wow -

In the process of rushing, the angry current touched a house, affected by the resistance of the house, the angry current was stirred up a huge wave more than three feet high, jumped into the air against the rising sun, paused for a moment, and then slapped down heavily, and the house in the waves was instantly crushed into powder with the momentum of destruction......

Scenes like this abound, and everywhere the angry currents passed, fertile fields were washed away and houses were washed away...... Anything that hindered this current of anger in the slightest way would be swept away in an instant under the raging current, and some people and livestock who did not have time to evacuate would be swept away. Not even able to resist a little, he was swallowed up by the current of rage, and he didn't even have time to call for help. After the surging waves had sprinted for some distance, countless human and animal corpses had floated on the surface, as well as the fragmented ruins of the broken walls. Those who have not seen this scene with their own eyes cannot imagine how cruel and ruthless the scene in front of them is. On the contrary, this scene will become a painful memory that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians will never be able to erase in the days to come.

Nearly half of the people shed tears of grief. Their homes were ravaged by the flood, but there was nothing they could do but stand on a high place and endure in silence, hoping that the disaster would leave as soon as possible, and that the raging torrent would leave their homes. And more than 100,000 enemy soldiers, each and every one of them clenched the weapons in their hands, and a deep sense of powerlessness invaded their hearts and trampled on their dignity. As a strong man. Protecting their homes and defending the country is the fundamental reason for them to join the army, and it is also the military soul that Yuan has been setting up for them, but now, they can only be the same as ordinary people. can only endure silently, letting the pain and humiliation gnaw at their hearts little by little. The myth of invincibility for a long time is in the face of this ruthless torrent. In an instant, it was washed away from all color, leaving only a pale......

In the earth-shattering shouts of the soldiers and civilians, the surging torrent seemed to be afraid, the rapid momentum gradually weakened, and the monstrous waves also shrank to a height of about half a foot, and there was no longer the previous turbulence. After nearly a hundred breaths of the torrent, it completely calmed down, turned into more than a dozen tributaries, and honestly bypassed the high mountain where the soldiers and civilians were located, and flowed into the distance.

The real reason for the taming of the angry current, of course, will not be the sonorous and powerful shouts of the soldiers and civilians, but the dozens of scattered canals dug by Pang Tong with his men and horses before have begun to play a role. Although Sima Yi's choice of digging the estuary is very hidden, so that the water of the Yellow River can instantly form an unstoppable torrent, covering the land of nearly 100 miles, but Pang Tong is not incompetent, he planned in advance several main routes where the Yellow River water may be rushing, and the corresponding digging of the scattered canals, to the greatest extent to protect the land, so that Sima Yi worked hard to dig the water of the Yellow River, only carried out a hundred miles of impact and gradually calmed down.

Pang Tong knew what was going on, but instead of telling the truth of the facts, he made up a beautiful set of lies to encourage all the soldiers and civilians of the northern enemy: "Soldiers, fathers and fellow villagers! You see, the water of the Yellow River has flinched in the shouts of unity among the army and the people, what does this mean? It shows that our army's luck is flourishing! In front of our army and people, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome!" After a pause, Pang Tong shouted hoarsely: "King Yan will win!"

Pang Tong's words could not be concealed from all the soldiers and civilians, and a considerable number of them knew the real reason for the retreat of the torrent, but no one objected to Pang Tong's words, and all of them followed the ideas given by Pang Tong. Raised their right hands in unison and shouted in unison: "Victory! Victory!"

On the top of another mountain a few miles away, Yuan Qi stood expressionlessly in the wind, and the pure white jade unicorn stood obediently behind him, without making any abnormal noise to affect Yuan Qi's thoughts. Qi Tian and Zhao Hu stood on both sides of Yuan Qi on the left and right, with a somewhat sad look in their eyes. Failed to find Sima Yi, let Sima Yi single-handedly plan this devastating disaster, no one is happy in their hearts, although the distance of a hundred miles is not too long, but the width of the Yellow River after being dug up is quite amazing. A hundred miles long, a hundred miles wide, within a radius of a hundred miles, after this torrent, I believe that there will be no living beings.

Countless fertile fields have been washed away, and the direction of the torrent after it has calmed down will also cause certain difficulties to the people downstream, coupled with the houses and fields that Pang Tong forcibly demolished in order to dig a scattered canal. It is also a big loss, and Yuan Qi also has to take into account the plague that may break out at any time within a radius of 100 miles after the flood, as well as the subsequent resettlement of people who have lost their homes, and so on. If these problems are not solved in a timely and proper manner, it will not only bring panic to the people, but also affect the reputation and a series of losses. Each of these doesn't seem too great, but when these losses add up, it's a loss. It's beyond the limits of what Yuan Qi can bear.

"Sima Yi, if this king can't kill you with a thousand knives, he will not be a man!" Yuan Qi said with a blushing face.

Just when Qi Tian and Zhao Hu didn't know how to open their mouths to comfort Yuan Qi, Pang Tong led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to shout clearly, and the shout of "King Yan will win" passed through the space and entered Yuan Qi's ears under the chorus of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Wave after wave of shouts finally made the iron blue color on Yuan Qi's face melt, and a trace of relief climbed onto Yuan Qi's face.

Qi Tian wasted no time in saying to Yuan Qi: "Second brother, have you heard? This waterlogging disaster is not all a disaster, at least, the cohesion of our army is stronger. ”

Zhao Hu also nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Yuanqi, there is a good side to everything." Our army has been invincible and invincible for a long time, and it is inevitable that arrogance and pride will arise in the hearts of the officers and men, and I believe that after this disaster, the hearts of the officers and men will go through a baptism, and from a long-term perspective, it will be beneficial to our army. ”

Under the persuasion of the two, Yuan Qi's mood improved a little, and he sighed lightly and said: "That's right, after this disaster, our army's willpower will inevitably be stronger than before, and the belief in the military soul will be firmer." It's just a pity that the areas that have been washed away by the water of the Yellow River will not be able to grow food crops in any time if they have been flooded...... Speaking of this, Yuan Qi's words suddenly paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: not suitable for growing food, but it does not mean that this area will be abandoned, the water of the Yellow River is rich in sandy soil, driven by the torrent, the area within a radius of 100 miles will definitely not be able to continue to grow food, but it can grow crops suitable for growing on sandy soil, such as the most suitable for growing on sandy soil, the medicinal herb Zhimu, known as the peanut of longevity, etc...... The cultivation of these crops was very common in later generations, but in the Han Dynasty, people's thinking was limited by generations, believing that only good soil has the value of planting, but some plants can only receive the best results when they are planted on sandy soil.

In addition to the long history of the Yellow River, which has witnessed the development history of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years, the role of the Yellow River itself is also another important factor called the mother river.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qi's mood instantly improved a lot, turned around and jumped on the back of the jade unicorn's horse, and shouted to Qi Tian and Zhao Hu: "Big brother, Zhao Hu, let's go back quickly, I thought of something, I must discuss it with the prime minister, if so-and-so's idea can be realized, we will have another way to survive in the future." ”

After saying a word, Yuan Qi impatiently rode his horse down the hill, making Qi Tian and Zhao Hu look at each other, completely unable to understand why Yuan Qi suddenly became so happy. However, Yuan Qi's words are rarely wrong, this is a conclusion that has been tested by facts for a long time, and since he said so, he naturally has his reasons. Therefore, Qi Tian and Zhao Hu looked at each other and smiled, each crossed over their own war horses, followed Yuan Qi's back with the Flying Dragon Heavy Horse and the Hundred Battles Heavenly Return, and galloped all the way down the mountain......
