"Master Hou, let's go!"

The turbid river broke its embankment, and it is not known which loophole caused it.

At first, water seeped from nowhere, or from the sky and the ground, making the scene muddy.

Then, the embankment began to collapse and slide down everywhere.

After the scene was overwhelmed with manpower, a section of embankment slipped quietly into the muddy river.

Wait until someone finds out.

It's too late.

The silt-filled river of the Zhuo River has already washed down from the gap, and several holes below the gap also sprayed water jets directly.

A dike breach of this scale cannot be stopped by manpower!

"Where to go! Run!"

"The dam on the north side of the Zhuohe River has been in disrepair for years. Once a big gap appears, there will definitely be a chain reaction."

"Everyone at the scene, retreat quickly! Go to the dug diversion channels, and then deal with the flood!"

"The diversion river is the next main battlefield!"

"Yes!"

The governors of many prefectures on the north side of the Zhuohe River and the officials of the Chief Secretary immediately took orders.

All the guard officers and soldiers at the scene, as well as the village warriors, also saw that the flag was still at the scene, and their panic faded away.

......

The turbid river is flooded and prepared to divert the river.

Water is faster than people.

After everyone at the dam site had retreated here, the diversion channel was already raging.

"Thanks to the iron felt-shaped revetment stones you set up, Master Hou, I never thought that setting the revetment stones where the floods pass would have this effect."

In the diversion channel, the river is turbulent at the moment.

But on the surface of the water, there are many things that are more terrifying than floods in previous floods——

Boulders, driftwood.

"The water is fierce. After more sediment is carried out by the turbid river water, those revetment stones will not work."

"So guarding the diversion channel is the key!"

Under the light of the fire, the turbid river water looked even more terrifying, which made Zhao Zheng see the serious consequences if the diversion channel was not kept.

The fertile soil behind thousands of miles can't afford to be scoured like this.

"Eh? What's going on!"

"Those little lights, why are they still there!"

When looking back at the field behind him, Zhao Zheng actually saw a little fire again.

Although it is much less than the previous quantity.

"The end general doesn't know either."

Mao Xiang also felt strange, he still had a good idea of ​​the abilities of his subordinates, how could they not drive away or catch such a few ordinary people?

So he quickly summoned a Jin Yiwei to ask why.

"Reporting to Lord Hou, we have already taken away all the people who can be driven away or taken away."

"The rest of the stars are all old people."

"They are forcing each other to die, and they want to live and die with their own fields, and the subordinates have no choice."

These Jinyiwei fans are really embarrassed.

"Wait for the flood to recede, isn't the field still there!?"

Mao Xiang understood the helplessness of his subordinates, and gave birth to a misunderstanding of those common people.

"The subordinates have also informed."

"But those old people said that if the fields are flooded by the flood of the turbid river, even if they recede afterwards, they will lose their fertility and leave the yellow sand of the turbid river empty, resulting in reduced production in the next few years."

"And...they..."

"Their ancestral tombs are also beside the field."

"This subordinate is incompetent, please punish the Lord Hou!"

Mao Xiang understood.

The Jinyiwei fans, under the reason of the old people, are really helpless, and it is the same to replace him.

And Zhao Zheng naturally wouldn't blame them.

Just looking at the diversion channel again, I feel that the responsibility on my body is even heavier.

"Diverting the river, there is absolutely no room for loss!"

......

present.

The flood has already entered the distributary channel, so the only way to strengthen the capacity of the distributary channel to carry more flood is to raise, widen, and revetment.

And the ultimate purpose of the diversion channel is to divert the floodwater back to the aboveground river section of the non-turbid river.

Therefore, the disadvantage of insufficient manpower on site was revealed again.

"Master Hou! Jin Yiwei is here to report!"

"The general of the nearby guards does not want to send more soldiers to rescue!"

Bad news, bad news again.

Zhao Zheng has heard so many bad news.

"Damn it! Why don't they want to send troops? Don't they know about the news that the Zhuo River broke its embankment!?"

The military station of the Weisuo was ordered by Emperor Zhu Chongba.

It is intended that in the days when there is no war, apart from being a soldier, it also has the function of farming food and providing emergency relief.

But now the general is unwilling to send any more troops except for the emperor's will to send out more than a thousand soldiers at the beginning.

How could Zhao Zheng calm down, so he swears again.

"Jin Yiwei came to report that the general said that unless they receive another document from the Ministry of Education or the emperor's order."

"Otherwise, although there is a responsibility for disaster relief, it is even more difficult to bear the crime of deploying troops without authorization."

"The most important thing is that the general's surname is also Lan."

"During the speech, Lan Qiu was mentioned many times..."

Mao Xiang also felt that the anger in his heart could not be vented, and he gritted his teeth when he said the last sentence.

Lan Qiu, who was holding a banner beside him, was overjoyed.

But immediately, he found that Zhao Zheng and Mao Xiang looked at him with killing intent on their faces.

"It's broken, they don't seem to be afraid!"

afraid?

Who are you afraid of?

If Zhao Zheng and Mao Xiang knew the rhetorical question in Lan Qiu's heart, they would immediately laugh out loud.

Zhao Zheng stopped talking.

Just talk about Mao Xiang, the Jinyiwei Benwei.

What he has been doing is catching people and taking dirty things for the emperor, and even blaming ministers.

Now it is discovered that Lan Yu has such a large and bad influence.

It will only make him more excited!

What's more, even though Lan Yu didn't do anything about it now, it has something to do with him, and it added to his anger.

It's not good for you to offend anyone, you offend the people in front of the emperor's eyes.

......

"In the case of a lack of manpower for the protection of the diversion river, if you want to send reinforcements, then you have to rely on everyone on the scene to redouble their efforts."

Although Zhao Zheng can't wait to punish that general now.

But he knows better that solving the current flood problem is the main thing.

So he can only put his anger aside,

An order was given to all the officials to direct all the soldiers, yamen servants and village warriors to work harder, and all rest rounds were cancelled.

Even, if Mao Xiang didn't stop him, he would have wanted to do it himself.

"Master Hou, you can't go up!"

"You are there, the flag is there, and the hearts of the people are there!"

"If you stand here, it will be more effective than one more you contributing!"

Who would have thought that now Mao Xiang would not only use force, but also use principles to persuade him.

But no matter how Zhao Zheng can stabilize people's hearts.

As long as the rain doesn't stop, there will always be times when people can't take care of it.

......

until the wee hours of the morning.

Everyone on the scene is about to reach their limit.

The water level of the flood in the diversion channel is still slowly rising, and it seems that it is about to overflow the bank.

How can manpower compete with nature?

Looking at the dark sky, Zhao Zheng had foreseen that the flood would pass behind thousands of miles of fields, so he expressed such emotion helplessly.

"Let everyone prepare to withdraw!"

It is not Zhao Zheng's responsibility that the dam has been in disrepair for a long time.

It is not Zhao Zheng's responsibility to encounter severe drought and heavy rain.

The torrential rain caused the Zhuo River to flood continuously, and even the water swelled beyond the carrying capacity of the diversion channel, not to mention Zhao Zheng's responsibility.

This is the time of day!

But when Zhao Zheng made the decision to retreat, he still felt that all the costs fell on him...

"Master Hou?"

Mao Xiang couldn't believe that Zhao Zheng would give up on the talks.

And if you want to say it, you should wait until the officials below say it!Isn't this taking the initiative to take responsibility?

after all......

Mao Xiang's loyalty to the emperor was still shaken by two points by Zhao Zheng.

"Let's withdraw, when the water overflows the embankment, it will be too late."

"We have too few manpower, we can defend for ten miles, and there are still hundreds of miles of embankments left, and the water is unstable. Don't let everyone sacrifice in vain."

"This is my order!"

Zhao Zheng didn't say any more, and didn't want to say any more. He left the order and walked away from the river.

......

"Governor Zhuohe Governance Minister Order, everyone!"

"retreat!"
