"Folks, you can't do this! This child is innocent!" On the bank of the Yellow River, Chai Shao was trying his best to prevent a ridiculous incident. The cause of the incident must start with the burst of the Yellow River.

Three days ago, the couple invited Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling to Li's Mansion as guests. However, when they were enjoying the conversation, news of the breach of the Yellow River in Hedong County was reported to the mansion. Due to the emergency and seriousness of the situation, the people in Li's Mansion Following the suggestions of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they immediately divided into three groups to go to the disaster relief: the first group was led by Li Jiancheng, who went to Jinyang to ask Li Yuan to make countermeasures to prepare for relief for the refugees and replanting the fields after the disaster; The road is from Li Xiuning to the Li Family Industry Office in the Guanlong area to collect and mobilize food and clothing materials in order to provide preliminary support to the disaster area as soon as possible. Otherwise, the refugees will be short of food and clothing, and riots are likely to occur; third Chai Shao led the Li family members who were still in Chang'an to first stabilize the people and survey the terrain to prepare for the subsequent digging of canals and diversion. All of this was to maximize the safety of the people before the court's relief arrived. Reduce civilian casualties and losses to the greatest extent!

However, when Chai Shao and his party arrived at Hedong County, they found that the people here were performing a sacrificial ceremony. The process of the ceremony was to send a helpless little girl to the river to sacrifice to the river god. Ask the River God to appease his anger so that they can resume farming and rebuild their homes as soon as possible. People like Chai Shao who have read books will not believe this kind of thing. The Yellow River burst has happened in all dynasties. Which time It was not the imperial court that provided disaster relief and was finally resolved.

"Mr. Chai, just leave it alone, it's always been like this here." The local county magistrate warned. Due to his understanding of local folk customs, he sometimes couldn't do much to intervene in such things. After all, the Yellow River breach would affect a large area. The livelihood of the people in the country, these people can do anything despite the shortage of food and clothing.

"But..." Chai Shao looked at the little girl who was tied to the altar, and his ignorant eyes looked around uneasily, as if he was looking for someone who could save him, but at the same time there was a hint of indifference, and he seemed to know It's impossible for anyone here to save themselves.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Du?" Chai Shao looked at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. When they received the news of the Yellow River breach, these two people took the initiative to be the main people in charge of disaster relief. In today's situation, they should be Find a way to deal with it.

"Hey! Folk customs have become stupid." Fang Xuanling could only sigh with emotion when it came to this kind of thing. Folk customs are limited by people's cognition, and they have always followed some customs left by their ancestors. This is not an exception. Every place has it. During natural disasters, most people have this missed habit. However, if you want to abolish this custom, it is not possible. Unless this ritual is stopped, these people can see the effect immediately, otherwise these people will It is possible that even those who stopped him were sacrificed together!

"Daochang Li?" Zhang Chuchen did not ask about the roommate or Du, but asked Li Chunfeng. The little girl's appearance reminded her of her childhood experience, and she sincerely hoped that Li Chunfeng could find a way to save people. But then Li Jing The experience of traveling around the world also tells her that outsiders cannot interfere casually in such matters.

Sure enough, Li Chunfeng just stretched out his hand and didn't say anything else. It wasn't until the ceremony entered the final stage, when the people took the little girl off the altar and put her on a lonely boat, and when he was about to cut the cable, Li Chunfeng finally spoke. Shouted: "Wait a minute."

Li Chunfeng walked up and said to the old man who was presiding over the sacrifice: "Old man, actually I am the one who angered the river god. It is useless for you to send this child there!"

"Daozhang Li!"

Hearing what Li Chunfeng said, Chai Shao and others immediately became anxious. Of course they did not believe that Li Chunfeng had angered the river god, but if the old man believed Li Chunfeng's words, then Li Chunfeng would probably be sent into the river to be sacrificed!

"You?" Obviously, compared to the words of this outsider, the old man is still more willing to believe that the child who suppressed his father and his mother is the one who angered the river god.

"If you don't believe me, you can send me to the river first. If that doesn't work, it's not too late for you to send her there again!" After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, seeing that she didn't speak, he walked straight towards the little girl and picked her up. After seeing the little girl, he came to Li Jing and his wife and said, "Thank you, you two, please take care of her first."

"Daozhang Li, are you serious?" Although Li Jing believed that Li Chunfeng was a man with magical powers, he was about to be sent into the Yellow River to worship the river god! That was the Yellow River!

"Of course I am serious." Li Chunfeng replied: "I have to trouble you two to lend you your sword."

Although he didn't know the reason, Li Jing was too embarrassed to refuse. In the end, Li Chunfeng held Duan Shang in one hand and Can Xing in the other and stepped onto the boat. As the cable was cut, Li Chunfeng took this small boat and stood among everyone. Under his gaze, it drifted into the center of the Yellow River.

Yes, it floated in slowly! No matter how fierce the roar of the Yellow River was, his boat never capsized! The raging Yellow River seemed to be avoiding Li Chunfeng. No matter how fierce the water flow reached around Li Chunfeng, it was all on its own. It plunged into the bottom of the river. After Li Chunfeng reached the center of the river, he pulled out Duan Shang, and then made a quick stroke on the river.

Boom! The river suddenly stirred up a big wave, a water wave like a dormant dragon's head, and Li Chunfeng and the boat were thrown high out of the water. But that was all. After that, Li Chunfeng landed safely on the small island. on board.

"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine drink!" Li Chunfeng activated his sword skills, and Can Xing immediately unsheathed it and hovered high in the air. When another wave of water surged up, Can Xing stabbed straight down, knocking out the star that had just burst into the air. The rising dragon head was nailed down with a sword, and the rushing water of the Yellow River quickly calmed down due to this sword strike.

It is indeed so! Xiao Zhuo sighed.

When he first learned that Yuan Tiangang had cut off the Great Sui Dragon Vein, he still couldn't figure out how Yuan Tiangang did it. It wasn't until they came here that they learned that a bridge above the Bashui had collapsed, and he vaguely understood what happened. Things - hanging in Cambridge!

There is a saying in the world: Among the creatures in the world, the phoenix is ​​the longest bird, the unicorn is the longest beast, and the golden dragon is the largest scale insect. Among these three, the creatures under each genus will change their appearance as their bloodline becomes closer. They are far from their elders, the holy beasts. Among the genus of scale insects, the one closest to the bloodline of the golden dragon is the dragon. It is also said that the dragon is hidden in the mountains and rivers of the world. Whenever it transforms into a dragon, it must be You have to swim downstream to the sea to complete the transformation, and this phenomenon is called walking on the dragon. When walking on the dragon, sand and rocks will fly, and the color of the sky and earth will change. As a result, every time the dragon passes by, the bridges above the river will be destroyed. The destruction was complete. So later, people hung a sharp sword under the bridge to warn the dragon to calm down and not act recklessly.

According to Xiao Zhuo's guess, Yuan Tiangang should have used this method to build three hanging bridges at the sources of Jingshui, Weishui, and Bashui, and then cut off the Chang'an dragon vein, causing the Yellow River dragon spirit to be like a broken leg.

.And now that this limb has been reattached by him, Longling Dahe will naturally lose his temper. But forget it once he loses his temper. If he continues like this, the people on both sides of the strait will be implicated because of him.

It's so miserable!

"God!" On the river bank, the people saw Li Chunfeng miraculously subduing the rushing Yellow River. Under the leadership of one person, they all knelt down to worship Li Chunfeng.

"Mr. Fang, you hold this sword. Whatever you want these people to do from now on, they will listen to you." After Li Chunfeng returned to the river bank, he handed Duan Shang to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was so happy now! What he and Du Ruhui were most worried about when they came was that the local people were uninformed and would not cooperate with him in disaster relief. After all, no one can be unreasonable for people who are not enlightened. But now,

In one fell swoop, Li Chunfeng established the status of a god-man descending to the earth in the hearts of the people, and the sword Li Chunfeng used became a representative of the god-man. With this sword, what he had to do next would be much easier.

"Master Chai." Xiao Zhuo turned to Chai Shao and said: "After the disaster relief is completed, if possible, it is best to build a bridge here." After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he pointed at the Yellow River in front of him. The so-called hanging bridge means that the sword is meant to cut down.

, the purpose of the bridge is to suppress, and I want to keep the waters here calm, but I’m afraid it won’t be able to suppress it for long just by relying on the frightened and murderous atmosphere.

"This... Daochang Li, it's a bit difficult to handle! It's unprecedented!" Chai Shao looked at the direction Li Chunfeng pointed. That's the Yellow River! It never stops running for thousands of miles, and the flow is so big that it can't be built by building a bridge! Change

In other words, anyone who can build a bridge on the Yellow River will be recorded in history!

"Well! It's a bit difficult." Xiao Zhuo also recognized this point, so he added: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, there will always be a way."

"Xiao Qing! How do you think this matter should be handled?" In the Luoyang Palace, Yang Guang asked Xiao Yu how to deal with the breach of the Yellow River in Hedong County.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Yellow River burst has caused widespread damage, and disaster relief cannot be delayed. Otherwise, the victims are in short supply of food and clothing, and chaos will inevitably break out. In my opinion, as autumn has just begun, Guangtong warehouse should be opened immediately to provide relief to the victims. In addition,

It is also necessary to prepare grain seeds for autumn planting. Then, Chang'an and Jinyang will send extra manpower to dredge the rivers as soon as possible to eliminate floods. As long as they are handled properly, they should still be able to catch up with this year's autumn planting. As long as crops are planted in the fields, the people's hearts will

It will be settled, and there won't be any big troubles again." After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he also received Yang Guang's approval, but as the king of a country, Yang Guang also had his own considerations, "But this matter is entirely determined by

There may be something wrong with the local handling, and the court still needs to treat it strictly. Xiao Qing, how about you go and personally supervise the handling of this matter?"

"I will fulfill my mission." Xiao Yu accepted the order and was about to retreat when Yu Wenhuaji came out and stopped Xiao Yu, "Master Xiao, wait a minute." Then he turned to Yang Guang and reported: "Your Majesty, I will.

I think it would be safe for Mr. Xiao to bring some troops with him."

"Lord Yuwen, why is this?" Although Xiao Yu didn't like Yu Wenhua's character, Xiao Yu did not directly object to Yu Wenji's suggestions. After all, although Yu Wenji was greedy, his words may not be entirely without merit.

place.

"Master Xiao, it will take two days for the report of the breach of the Yellow River to reach Luoyang. Even if you rush over there, it will still be two days later. In four days like this, the victims will have already gathered in chaos!"

"Lord Yuwen is overly worried." Xiao Yu felt a lot more relaxed when he heard that Yuwen Wenji was worried about this. "This time the Yellow River burst, most of the land flooded was the private land of the Guanlong clan. With these aristocratic families

If the wealthy families' financial resources are only waiting for the imperial court to come to provide disaster relief, I am afraid that they themselves will suffer the greatest losses."

After Xiao Yu left, Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenji again and saw that he seemed to have something else to say, so he asked again: "Young Master Yuwen, do you have anything else?"

"Report to Your Majesty." Yu Wenhuaji replied: "Something happened to Mr. Pei Renji."

"What's the matter?" Of course Yang Guang didn't believe that Pei Renji had already captured Wagang, because the imperial court had a special post station to deliver battle reports, and battle victory reports had to be sent to Luoyang through the post station first. Yu Wenhuaji couldn't possibly know it before him.

of.

"It's Mr. Pei..." Yu Wenhuaji was a little unsure when he said this. After all, what he got was just a private letter sent to him by his son Yuwen Chenglong. Although the things in the letter were doubtful, there was no solid evidence.

But the matter mentioned in the letter was related to important matters of the imperial court, so he had to report it. "Master Pei, he may have defected to Wagang."

Yu Wenhuaji said, and quickly took out the letter and presented it. What the letter said were all the strange things that Yu Wen Chenglong thought during the conquest of Wagang. One of them was that Yu Wen Chenglong himself had just started three battles.

Jie, injured three Wagang generals and captured one alive. At that time, Pei Yuanqing's injury was almost healed, so he went into battle on Yuwen Chenglong's behalf, but he was wounded again after only one battle. Then Yuwen Chenglong went into battle again.

, and still fought and won again. Yuwen Chenglong wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the Wagang rebels, but Pei Renji ordered him not to fight anymore, and the whole army only besieged him. Therefore, Yuwen Chenglong suspected that Pei Renji might have secretly defected to Wagang.

.

"So, it's hard to see that Pei Renji has defected to Wagang." After reading the letter, Yang Guang didn't quite believe what it said. "But just in case, Shaoqing, you'd better go and bring Pei Renji's family home."

It would be better if you come to Luoyang."

~~~~

"Military advisor, Yu Wenhuaji really believes that Pei Renji has defected?" Qin Qiong stood at the top of the city, looking at Pei Renji's army outside the city with some worry. Two days have passed since Xu Shiji's countermeasure was decided, and the success or failure will depend on it.

It's been two days.

"You may not believe it at first, but if he goes to arrest the Pei Renji family and finds that there is no one in the Pei family, what do you think he will think?" Xu Shiji asked. In order to set up this counterintuitive plan, he took great pains. In order to make people

Yuwen Chenglong refused to accept Pei Renji's orders because he underestimated the enemy and was arrogant. Wagang generals including Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and Wang Junke were all falsely defeated by Yuwen Chenglong one by one. When Pei Yuanqing went to war,

, it was Luo Shixin who fought him until he lost his strength in one fell swoop. After that, Yu Wen Chenglong was captured. He was greedy for life and feared death and wrote the suspicious letter in order to make Yu Wenhua and suspicious, submit it to Yang.

Guang, as long as the court becomes suspicious, it will definitely take preventive measures.

"Well! It stands to reason that Xian Dao and the others should take Pei Renji back to his home!" When Qin Qiong said this, he couldn't help but admire Xu Shiji's thoughtfulness. On the one hand, he secretly informed Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenhua of the possible rebellion of Pei Renji in the form of a family letter.

, on the other hand, they arranged for someone to take Pei Renji's family to Wagang first. In this way, as long as the court sent people to arrest Pei Renji's family, they would definitely fail. Therefore, in the eyes of the court, Pei Renji's rebellion would be 100%.
