Chapter 153 The Refugee Tide

The turbid waves rolled, and the sound was like a roar of a cow. The huge yellow waves surged down from the dam more than ten meters high, and a water dragon poured out, as if a giant beast had left the cage.

The surging Yellow River water surged down the Kuishan embankment along the pre-digged flood discharge path, and it was unstoppable. Gu Zhenhua and Pan Yueshan both stood at a high place to watch. Their fists were clenched tightly, and sweat came out of Pan Yueshan's forehead.

Looking at the surging waves, I quickly rushed through the southeast of Xuzhou and entered the branch water. However, due to the large amount of water and the turbid river water overflowed, the entire southeast of Xuzhou became a country of marina. Everything on the ground floated west.

"Dude, if the city wall cannot hold on, the old man will have to jump into the river to atone for his sins!"

Just as Pan Yueshan was feeling emotion, Kang Dali ran over with his legs, his face full of ecstasy.

"Dude, the flood has passed through the city wall, but it has destroyed a section of the breakwater, and the city wall is intact!"

"Seriously, didn't you return to Shigou Lake?" Pan Yueshan asked with his eyes wide open.

"I poured a little, but there was no problem. Our flood discharge channel was wide enough. After the first wave, I won't pour back."

"Okay, okay!" Pan Yueshan couldn't help but kneel on the ground, bursting with excitement: "God blessed, the most difficult level has finally passed, it's over!"

Gu Zhenhua finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The water level of the river was significantly lowered, and what made him even more excited was that the dense clouds in the sky had unknowingly dispersed. The long-lost sun was revealed, and the sunlight shone on his body, which was particularly warm.

"Tell everyone, don't take it lightly, leave two battalions to continue to station the embankment, strengthen weak areas, and prevent danger. Everyone else's rest."

Finally, I heard the words I wanted to hear the most. The military, civilians and the people cheered loudly, and they were all extremely excited. Some people even lay directly on the ground and slept soundly.

Especially the soldiers, most of them had not closed their eyes for two days and two nights. Seeing them sleeping in the mud, the people consciously put them on the door panel and carried them down. Many women couldn't help but wipe their tears when they saw sleeping faces.

...

Gu Zhenhua finally returned to the temporary office. Li Jibo and Xia Shouli had been waiting here for a long time.

"Dude, the government offices in Beicheng have been flooded, and you may be wronged!"

"Nothing wronged, tell me about the losses."

"Well, the losses this time are mainly concentrated in the north of the city. More than 300 old houses were destroyed by water. Twenty-three people were crushed to death by the collapsed houses, and more than 70 people were washed away by water. Life and death are uncertain. The overall loss is not large. When the river water is discharged, the accumulated water in the north city can be discharged. It is estimated that within one month, Xuzhou will be able to return to normal."

"Hey, there are a hundred people in total. Water and fire are ruthless!"

Looking at Gu Zhenhua's sigh, Xia Shouli couldn't help but say, "Dude, don't be dissatisfied. When it comes to this flood, the people who were affected are not hundreds of thousands, and deaths of less than one thousand people are not considered disasters. We only have one hundred people, so it's time to burn the incense!"

When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Indeed, the casualties of this era cannot be measured by the numbers of later generations.

"So we did a good job?"

"It's true!" Xia Shouli smiled and said, "Xuzhou, the people around him also want to prepare umbrellas of people for you and build a temple of life."

"Farewell, a living person who is so alive, who burns incense and worships Buddha every day. Sooner or later, I will worship you to death. Tell everyone, put all their thoughts on restoring their homes. In addition, there will be a major epidemic after the disaster. Tell everyone to deal with all the corpses quickly. Drinking water must be boiled. If you find discomfort, report it immediately!"

"Oh, I'll do it now!" Xia Shouli turned around and was about to go immediately.

"Wait." Gu Zhenhua called him again, "All soldiers involved in the disaster relief this time will be rewarded with one merit, and the unfortunate sacrifice will be properly paid."

"clear!"

Xia Shouli turned around and left, leaving only Li Jibo left on the spot. The old man couldn't help but smile and said, "Dude, why do I feel that I will get to know you again after this time!"

"Mr. Li, in your eyes, who am I?"

"I have always felt that the Duke of the People is extremely smart, ambitious, and good at calculating everything. Why do I seem so reckless this time? The flood is ruthless and a big wave comes. No matter how you can travel all the best, you will be able to escape. According to my idea, the Duke of the People is the most secure thing to take the people of Xuzhou out and give up Xuzhou. At worst, you can retreat to Henan. With these people, you can manage the Central Plains."

When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he laughed: "Mr. Li, do you think I am a little stupid now like Liu Xuande of the past, and I have to bring 100,000 people across the river?"

Li Jibo nodded reluctantly: "There's a little bit."

Gu Zhenhua stood up with a smile, took out a letter from his arms, and sent it to Li Jibo, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, take a look."

Li Jibo took the letter, opened it and looked at the two lines, and the old man's eyes shone.

"Is it really that serious?"

"That's right!" Gu Zhenhua nodded helplessly: "This heavy rainstorm is not only affected by Xuzhou, but also by Guide. Kaifeng, Weihui, Huaiqing and other places are the real disaster areas. There are no less than six or seven places where the Yellow River breaches, and there are more than 30 prefectures and counties affected, and the number of victims exceeds one million."

Gu Zhenhua sighed and smiled bitterly: "I want to give up Xuzhou, but when I go to Henan, I still have to face disasters. Moreover, this flood has consumed all the energy along the Yellow River. If the Tartars take advantage of this time to go south, do you think we can stop it?"

Only then did Li Jibo realize the bad situation, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Dude, I said you are working so hard. It turns out that this is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance in Pei Gong! Since the Henan yamen is unable to help the disaster, our Anguo Army should enter with the flow and protect the people well!"

Gu Zhenhua died in Xuzhou, one to retain a fulcrum and defend the Tartars, and the other to set an example for all forces along the Yellow River. The Anguo Army treated the people sincerely, and others regarded human lives as if they were careless. As long as this reputation spread, it would be of great benefit to the Anguo Army's next expansion of its power.

"Hahaha, Duke of the State, I heard that the Military Music Department has recruited a lot of storytellers and operas, so I would just compile your disaster relief jokes and let them sing them everywhere. At that time, Duke of Ji will be able to catch up with Uncle Liu!"

"Isn't it a bit shameless?"

"It's shameless!" Li Jibo smiled and said, "But it works very well."

Gu Zhenhua also smiled and said, "That's shameless. But according to my estimate, there will be a lot of refugees in Guide, and I must go there myself. Xuzhou will be left to the teacher to take charge. In addition, this time the main force will also be transferred. An Guojun will enter Kaifeng and take down the entire Henan."

"I wish the Duke the first step to be proud of his courage and look down on his face!"

After Gu Zhenhua made a clear explanation, he immediately pulled out six battalions of troops from Xuzhou, including two veteran battalions, four new soldiers, a total of 3,000 elite soldiers, plus ten thousand civilians, and immediately went to Guide.

On the eve of the army's departure, Mei Junruo entangled Gu Zhenhua tightly. When he met the little girl, she left a row of neat tooth marks on Gu Zhenhua's shoulder, which made Gu Zhenhua frown in pain.

"Madam, when are you a dog? Little teeth are so amazing!"

"It is to let you know the pain, but you don't know how to care about your body. You don't know that people heard that you jumped into the river. Your heart was about to break, and it hurts a thousand times ten thousand times more than this!"

Mei Junruo said as she lay down on Gu Zhenhua's skills, her little hands cage his neck and her eyes were facing each other tightly.

"Zhenhua, you have to make sure you don't make jokes about your body in the future!" As the beauty spoke, tears were already shedding from the corner of her eyes.

"Don't worry, I used to pick fruits this time, and so many ordinary people were affected. When they heard that Duke Ji, who was invincible and loved the people, came over and guaranteed to eat pots of wine to welcome the king's army. There would be no danger, and maybe they didn't even need to march, and they would just pass the list."

Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "I promise to take you there at most half a month. Let's get married!"

"It will take another half a month, so okay, don't touch me today, wait until half a month later."

"I think beautifully!" Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "You are a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Don't think of running away!"

As he said that, he stopped the beauty's slim waist and turned over and pressed down on it...

The car is a scattered person, and the horse is a scattered person.

Gu Zhenhua and his soldiers set out from Xuzhou and headed straight for Guide. Wherever they passed along the way, the disaster had not completely passed. Fortunately, there were people responsible for protecting the embankment, especially in the places where there were military farms. The people tried their best to defend the home they had just obtained.

The defenders along the route were also involved, but there was no major problem. Everyone had a record of it. If there were no An Guojun, I would be afraid that many people would be separated in this flood and their families would be destroyed.

Because of this, wherever Gu Zhenhua and his men passed by, various farms sent a large number of civilians to help repair roads and transport supplies.

An Guojun was very fast. In three days, Gu Zhenhua and his men arrived at Guide. Xu Fang also brought his men to greet him outside the city.

"Mr. Xu, you ask me for your trouble. Xuzhou is not bad. It's too late. Please don't blame me!"

"The Duke of China is so polite. Xie Bin, Guo Yunlong, Zhou Yingjie and other battalion commanders all helped each other. The military and civilians were united. Although it was dangerous, they still survived and Guide did not hurt any of them."

"That's good, that's good!" Gu Zhenhua also said to Xie Bin and the others: "It's your first disaster relief. Are you feeling uneasy?"

Zhou Yingjie scratched his head embarrassedly: "To be honest, it's a bit a bit, but I heard that the Duke of the State has personally rescued the disaster. What else can we say? To share the troubles with the people, they really regard us as soldiers, and exchange sincerity for sincerity!"

"Well, whether it is civil officials or military generals in the Ming Dynasty, they deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates, and were greedy and had too many fakes. We should play the real thing!"

Xu Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Dude, if you want to play real, you have to take out real money and silver. To be honest, more than 10,000 victims have flowed into Guide in the past two days, and the number of people is still rising sharply, and there is not enough food!"
