When there is a long drought, there is a long rain!
Half a month has passed and the rain is still falling.
Floods are more terrible than droughts. What are the consequences of the Yellow River overflowing? It's clear to everyone.
The King of Han had strengthened the river embankments and repaired the dams in advance, but as the rains became longer and longer, the people's hearts slowly became anxious again.
If this continues, no matter how strong the river embankment is, it will be washed away by the flood!
Sure enough, when the rain continued until the twentieth day, a section of the river embankment was finally overwhelmed and washed away. The turbid river water roared like a beast descending from the mountain, rushing towards the fields on the bank and towards the villages in the distance.
Although the village was still some distance away from the breach, the roaring sound immediately made the people understand what had happened. They suddenly became desperate and collapsed at home one by one.
Escape? Where can I escape? What's more, how can a person run through floods with two legs?
"Boom" The rapid war drum sounded.
Hear the drum and come forward, the sound of the drum is an order!
It¡¯s not a war, it¡¯s better than a war!
Most of the rescue team were Han soldiers. At the general's order, the boat at the ferry went down the river and quickly reached the gap.
Five thousand soldiers of the Luoyang Corps, led by a school captain, have also arrived here.
"Block the gap and save the people!"
Give the order and split up immediately.
The soldiers of the rescue team rowed boats and quickly rushed from the gap to the fields and villages.
And other soldiers began to block the gap.
They had already thought of this situation and made adequate preparations. They nailed wooden stakes into the rushing water one by one, and then connected the wooden piles with iron ropes.
Next, many branches were thrown down. After the branches were rushed to the wooden piles by the rapid flood, they were blocked by those wooden piles, and the river water in the gap became smaller.
At this time, the soldiers immediately threw down the stones and sand, but because they were blocked by wooden piles and branches, they were not all washed away. There was a lot of silt in the Yellow River, and it slowly accumulated next to the wooden piles, covering the branches layer by layer.
The flood water flowing out of the gap was much smaller, which made the soldiers who were filling the gap excited and more confident.
Because before, they never thought that they could stop such a raging flood with human power, but now they succeeded!
Under the command of the King of Han, any impossible thing can be achieved!
Two hours later, the river embankment here was repaired and the flood was completely blocked. The soldiers immediately cheered.
"Long live the King of Han!"
"Long live the great man!"
Wangjiazhuang is a large village, with more than 100 households and 500 people.
The flood that burst the embankment was the first to rush towards their village. Although the houses were well built, they still could not stop it. Soon the houses fell down and the walls collapsed, and the people's cries were drowned by the roaring floods.
Because the terrain here is flat, the flood water gathered into a lake. Above the water, many people were holding on to pieces of wood, door panels, and window lattice, crying and shouting. There are also some bodies floating on the water, people who were crushed to death when their houses collapsed.
Looking at the endless floods that are still slowly rising, those who are holding on to the wood and floating on the water are completely desperate. In this case, how long can they persist!
"MomMother" A child of five or six climbed on a swaying door panel, looking at his mother grabbing a piece of wood not far away, and shouted in horror.
"Dog, don't move, mother is coming right now" His mother paddled hard in the water, moving slowly, accidentally, the water choked her mouth, and she couldn't help coughing, but she still paddled hard.
"Son, please let me go, or we will all die!" I saw a father and son struggling in the water. The son was holding a thin piece of wood with one hand and holding his father tightly with the other. But the wood was too thin and could not hold them up at all. The flood slowly reached from the chest to the neck, almost reaching the mouth.
"No! Dad, we want to be together!"
"God, why are you doing this?" The old village chief stood on a tree branch leaning over the water, looking up to the sky and sighing.
"Look, what is that?" Suddenly, a young man wiped the flood from his face and said loudly.
"A boat, it's a boat!"
¡°It¡¯s really a boat!¡±
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ageThere were boats one by one, and hope immediately ignited in their hearts.
"Common people, don't be afraid, we are the rescue team sent by the King of Han!" The captain of the rescue team rushed to the front by boat and shouted loudly.
"The King of Han sent people to save us!"
"We are saved!"
"My child, don't be afraid, the King of Han is here to save us!"
¡°Dad, it¡¯s the King of Han who has come to save us!¡±
Weeping with joy, rain, river water, and tears intertwined together. The people in Wangjiazhuang, who were struggling on the verge of death, were speechless with excitement. They could only silently say long live the King of Han in their hearts!
At the same time, after the soldiers of the rescue team arrived in front of the people in their boats, they immediately jumped into the flood and rescued all the adults and children on the boats. They even fished out the bodies floating on the water. Because the King of Han said that corpses must be buried deeply, otherwise it would cause plague.
On a higher flat land, the soldiers set up tents to let the people shelter from the wind and rain.
Local officials also came, and they told the people that the King of Han had said that if the crops were gone, they could be planted again, and if the houses were gone, they could be rebuilt. As long as the people are here, everything will be fine. The government would open granaries and store grain to provide them with food. After they were full, they would rebuild their homes after the weather cleared.
The people were once again so moved that they were speechless. When had they ever met such a good official and such a good prince? At this time, the King of Han was the emperor in their minds.
The floods were ruthless and several river embankments were washed away. But there was no confusion among the officials. They were already well prepared, and the same thing kept happening in different places.
Man can conquer the sky and work together to defeat the flood.
We have the King of Han, we are invincible!
Yecheng, Palace of the Prince of Wei.
Cao Cao summoned Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Sima Yi, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie and other important officials to his mansion.
"I didn't expect it to rain continuously that day!" Cao Cao's physical condition became worse and worse, and his voice was smaller than before!
This heavy rain has also affected Jizhou and Bingzhou. Although it is not as heavy as the Central Plains and Guanzhong areas, it has been raining for five or six days in a row.
When Liu Cong was building river embankments, strengthening dams, and building new ferries, many people laughed at him, and even Cao Cao was puzzled.
But the continuous rain made them understand that Liu Cong¡¯s purpose was to defend in advance. Those who had laughed at Liu Cong before were speechless, but Cao Cao felt deeply fearful in his heart.
"Who is Liu Cong? Why can he predict it in advance?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
