Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

Looking at the rushing river, Li Chengqian said in a deep voice, "Have the people evacuated?"

Duan Lun responded: "The people in the villages and towns north of the Weishui River have been evacuated, and refuge camps have been built on the hills, and the people have been properly resettled."

"Elder Sun Chong."

"The end is here."

Li Chengqian frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You lead the Shenwei Army to dredge the canals to the north of the Weishui River, and level up all the raised places for me. Once the water of the Weishui River overflows the river bed, I will give you the embankment to the north of the Weishui River." The palace exploded and released the flood waters to the northern plains and depressions."

Hearing this, Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs who followed him, felt a little bit in his heart. Once the flood flooded down the embankment on the north bank of the Wei River, it would cost a lot of silver taels.

He was rushing to Ganlu Hall, but was brought over by Li Chengqian halfway.

In the event of a disaster, the work of the Ministry of Household Affairs is not as easy as that of the Ministry of Industry.

Liu Zhenghui hesitated to speak, "His Royal Highness, this..."

Li Chengqian said coldly: "Master Liu, I know what you are thinking, do you have a better way?"

Liu Zhenghui said in a low voice, "I don't have any..."

Li Chengqian said: "Very well, I have a mission for you to evacuate all the people within a radius of fifty miles on the north bank of the Wei River."

"Fifty miles?" Liu Zhenghui was startled, "Your Highness, do you need such a large flood discharge area?"

Li Chengqian looked up at the rain curtain and said, "It's not bad if it's fifty miles away. Hurry up. In an hour, the Shenwei army will blow up the north bank to release the flood."

Liu Zhenghui cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my minister will go right away."

After getting off the embankment, he hurried to the north bank of the Weishui River.

at the same time.

An official from the Ministry of Industry suddenly ran up the embankment in a panic, "His Royal Highness, Liu Shangshu, something is wrong. Five miles to the east of the Weishui River, the embankment collapsed, and the Weishui River rushed down from the embankment to the south bank."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Chapter 491 A Small Village in the Flood

After Duan Lun heard this, his complexion turned ashen, and his heart felt cold.

It's really a blessing, and misfortunes never come singly. The matter of Li Liancheng is not over yet. Why did the south bank of the Wei River burst again?

Isn't this stabbing him with a knife?

It’s okay if the torrential rain survives tonight, if not.

His position as minister of the Ministry of Industry is in danger.

"Su Dingfang." Li Chengqian shouted anxiously, "Lead the white-robed army and Modaowei to take all the sandbags prepared by Luban Pavilion, and quickly block the river channel of the breach."

"The last general takes orders."

Su Dingfang responded, turned around and took a few generals down the embankment.

Duan Lun's face turned pale, "Your Highness, the old minister will go with them..."

The embankment on the south bank of the Weishui River broke. If the opening cannot be blocked, it will be troublesome for the river to go all the way south. The people on the south bank have not been evacuated yet, and Chang'an City is the first to bear the brunt.

"Lord Duan, I hope that after this matter is settled, you can give the court a reasonable explanation, so you can do it yourself."

After Li Chengqian left these words, he rushed down the embankment and rushed to the opening of the embankment without caring about Duan Lun's reaction.

Hearing this, Duan Lun's heart turned cold.

He knew Li Chengqian's character, and he had already given him enough face by not withdrawing him as a minister immediately.

But he knew in his heart that he could only blame himself for this matter. If it was Li Liancheng's matter, he could explain it, but he couldn't explain the Weishui breach.

The three of Cheng Yaojin looked at Duan Lun with sympathetic eyes, and then followed Li Chengqian away.

"Go!" Duan Lun said in a deep voice, "Follow His Highness the Crown Prince."

Up to now, Duan Lun finally has a way out, and that is to let it go. Things are already like this, so what else can be done, that's all.

He wants to protect the lives and properties of the people as much as possible within this limited time.

This is the only thing in Duan Lun's mind that he wants to do.

When Li Chengqian arrived at the breach, the river poured down from the embankment like ten thousand horses galloping.

The breach of the river embankment can be clearly seen as a breach of the embankment, which was caused by the collapse of the embankment body, and it was obviously caused by the failure of timely inspection, repair and reinforcement of the embankment.

But no matter what type of breach, it is very difficult to block it.

The flood rushing down the embankment swept southward, devouring all obstacles on the road, and it was extremely ferocious.

Su Dingfang is organizing soldiers from the White Robe Army and the Modao Army to rescue them.

At the same time, Duan Lun followed.

"His Royal Highness, the breach of the embankment cannot be blocked just by blocking it. It is also necessary to intercept the river flowing out of the breach. The old minister is willing to make up for the mistakes and block the breach."

Duan Lun came to Li Chengqian to ask for a fight. At this time, he couldn't care less about shame.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw Duan Lun's firm eyes and said in a deep voice, "Go."

"It's Your Highness."

Duan Lun responded, and hurried to Su Dingfang's side.

Su Dingfang didn't have much experience in this matter, and when he saw Duan Lun coming to help, he was overjoyed and handed over the command to him.

Duan Lun also lived up to his trust and quickly demonstrated his professionalism.

Under his command, the containment and interception work was carried out quickly.

The white-robed army kept throwing sandbags into the dike break, trying to stop the water, and Mo Daowei was sent down the dike by Duan Lun to stop the pouring water.

At this time, a small official from the Ministry of Industry suddenly came to borrow someone.

A small low-lying village not far away has been submerged by floods, and the people are hiding on the roofs and shivering, waiting for rescue.

Because the water was too fast, the local army had no way of attacking, and the houses submerged in the flood were about to be washed away.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian led a hundred white-robed troops and galloped towards the village with Cheng Yaojin and the three of them.

a little while...

When they arrived, the floodwaters had submerged the eaves of most of the houses in the village. Fortunately, the village was not big, with only thirty or so families.

"Hurry up, get off the sheep boat, tie the rope to the sheep boat, and connect all the trees on the water to my palace."

Li Chengqian quickly commanded.

Xue Rengui responded, and threw the roped sheep boat onto the water. He also tied dozens of ropes to his body, and rushed to the sheep boat with one leap.

The sheep boat is made of big sheep cut open to remove the internal organs, dried and sewn up, soaked in green sesame oil to make it airtight, and can float on the water surface without sinking after inflating, rather like a raft.

"General, be careful."

The surrounding soldiers shouted with concern.

Xue Rengui held a long spear and walked in the rushing river. Faced with such a rushing water, it is really beyond the control of ordinary people.

Xue Rengui shuttled through the water, untied the rope tied around his waist, and tied it to the tree trunk in the middle of the water.

Every time one was tied, the soldiers of the White Robe Army followed the rope and ran to the trees to respond.

moment……

Xue Rengui went to the roof of the first house, tied the rope to the tree trunk behind the house, and let the people on the roof climb along the rope to the tree in the middle of the river, and then turned to the river bank.

Those local soldiers around looked dumbfounded at Xue Rengui's flowing movements.

They can think of this trick, but it is estimated that they will be washed away by the flood as soon as they get on the sheep boat.

On the bank, Wang Xuance and several martial arts masters all followed Xue Rengui's example and rowed on the river.

Rescue the people trapped in the flood.

Boom!

"Strong..."

A roar and a scream came from the village.

I saw a couple standing on the half of the ruined house, they were shouting at the top of their lungs.

A ten-year-old child is in the river next to the house, clinging to a dead tree trunk to prevent himself from being drawn into the flood.

Just when everyone was moved and worried.

Li Chengqian picked up a stack of wooden planks, picked up a spear, and lifted the sheep boat next to him into the water.

"His Royal Highness, be careful!"

"His Royal Highness, it's too dangerous, come back quickly."

All the soldiers on the shore exclaimed.

For ordinary people, it might be better to use oars, but for Li Chengqian, there are too many mixed things in the river, and spears are more practical.

Li Chengqian galloped towards the children in the middle of the river in a sheep boat.

The boy closed his eyes and hugged the tree trunk tightly. His parents were on the half-collapsed roof, shouting heartbreakingly.

Just when the child's father was desperate to jump into the flood to save his child.

Xue Rengui had already jumped onto the roof and grabbed the man, "Don't panic, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, your child will be safe."

As soon as these words came out, the shocked couple were speechless for a long time.

Prince?

They didn't expect that the person who risked his life to save their children by boating on the flood was actually the current prince Li Chengqian.

Chapter 492

If it weren't for the people in his heart, how could Li Chengqian have braved the wind and rain to come here, and how could he have taken risks alone to save the people from the fire and water.

click...

In the middle of the river, the branches surrounded by the boy suddenly broke.

Startled, he let go of his hands, his head sank into the water instantly, and a mouthful of sewage was poured into his mouth, the choking boy almost let go of his hands.

Boy, life hangs by a thread.

"Zhuang Zhuang, hold on tight, don't let go!"

The man yelled at the top of his lungs, regardless of whether the boy could hear him or not.

Tears mingled with the rain and slid down his cheeks.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian on the sheep boat threw away the spear in his hand, picked up the wooden board and threw it away.

I saw short wooden planks flying in the air and flying down towards the river.

Li Chengqian carried the rest of the board, leaped into the air with lightning speed, and then stepped on the board floating on the water.

It's good to have a superficial touch.

Li Chengqian's coquettish operation really made the refugees on the house and the soldiers on the shore dumbfounded.

In an instant, Li Chengqian came to the dead tree surrounded by the boy like a swallow.

With a trick of fishing for the moon in the sea, the boy was picked up from the river.

The left hand carries the boy on the shoulder, and the right hand throws the remaining boards to the river.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chengqian carried the boy to the big tree in the middle of the river.

The sergeant above hurriedly took the boy over.

"Thank you...thank you, General."

The boy was thanking Li Chengqian, and vomited halfway through the sentence.

Li Chengqian patted him on the back, and said softly: "You don't need to thank me, little brother, let's go ashore and rest."

Looking at the baby rescued by Li Chengqian, the couple breathed a sigh of relief, kneeling on the house, full of gratitude.
