Chapter 286: Not from the same group!

Xu An trembled and said: "Yes, yes, a section of the embankment has burst in the northeast. If not rescued in time, Fengyang City may be affected."

Wu Lang told him not to say anything, but he couldn't bear it anymore. So many people died when Fengyang Lake burst its embankment. If something happened to the Huaihe River again, he would be dead and no one could save him.

Niu Wuliu couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the raging river. To get here from Fengyang City, you have to cross the Donghao River. Fengyang Lake is in the northeast of Fengyang City.

Why is the water in Fengyang Lake so exaggerated? It’s because the northernmost corner of Fengyang Lake is adjacent to the Huaihe River.

Zhu Jun guessed that it was probably caused by the backflow of water from the Huaihe River over there, but the situation was critical now and there was no way to investigate.

Because the rain has become lighter now, but the flood has not receded, it means that the water source has not been blocked.

Niu Wuliu glanced at Li Jiba.

Li Jiba sighed, Zhu Jun had rested for less than half an hour, but if he told Zhu Jun about such a big thing, he would definitely be punished when he woke up and found out.

He turned around and walked into the camp. Zhu Jun was sleeping soundly. He was woken up by Li Jiba. He opened his eyes tiredly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, a section of the Huaihe River has burst its banks!" Li Jiba said helplessly.

"What did you say?" Zhu Jun couldn't help but raise his voice, and he suddenly woke up. He sat up straight and wanted to get up, only to find that his hand was being held tightly by Xu Miaojin.

He carefully pulled out his hand without waking her up, and walked quickly outside the tent, looking at Xu An, who was slightly hunched over, with a sad and frightened face.

When I saw him, I was even more scared.

"Your Highness, the Huaihe River has burst its banks!" Xu An almost cried.

"Which section is it?" Zhu Jun asked hurriedly.

"Yes, it is the place where the Huaihe River and Donghao River meet!"

Zhu Jun hurriedly asked Li Jiba to spread out the map. He was extremely anxious, "Can't it be blocked?"

"Weichen has been providing disaster relief here, and a large number of manpower has been mobilized. Over there..."

"Fuck you!" Zhu Jun kicked him angrily. Even now, this bitch was still blaming him.

"Ouch, ouch..." Xu An lay on the ground and kept shouting.

But Zhu Jun didn't feel any pity at all, because he really deserved to die.

The flooding has been going on for so many years. If he had done anything, how could he have caused the Huaihe River to burst?

Fengyang is a place surrounded by water.

There is only one opening for entry and exit.

Moreover, the terrain of Fengyang is truly bizarre.

There is a water bay in the north, mountains in the south, and plains in the middle. The high water flows inland without any obstruction.

Then Fengyang won’t be flooded?

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Li Jiba asked.

"What else can we do? Leave three thousand people to continue searching here. The rest should follow me!" The search and rescue has been going on for two days, and all those who can be saved have been saved. There are not many survivors left.

Or it's a corpse floating on the water.

Although it was cruel to say this, he had to make a choice.

"Niu Wuliu, you stay here and let Cai Guan, Xie Jin, and Li Qi cooperate with you. The others will follow me!"

Zhu Jun gave the order, and everyone responded one after another.

"You wait for me!" Zhu Jun is not a person who likes to speak cruelly, but this time, he couldn't help it anymore, sneered at Xu An, and led people away directly.

Xu An couldn't help but tremble, "I don't want it either, I don't want it either..."

Xu Miaojin slept very soundly this time. When she opened her eyes, it was already afternoon.

Turning around, Zhu Jun was indeed gone.

She walked out of the tent, looked for someone and asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

"Back to Princess, Your Highness is going to the first two places to stay!"

Xu Miaojin didn't think much about it, but Zhu Jun didn't come back until the evening. She couldn't help but frowned, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

She walked out of the tent and looked again and again. Finally she couldn't hold it in any longer and found Niu Wuliu. "Old Niu, did he say he would be back today?"

"I don't know about this humble position!" Niu Wuliu still admired Xu Miaojin. No matter from every aspect, she was a very competent princess.

"Is there something you are hiding from me? I always feel like there is something wrong with you!"

"Princess must be too tired!" Niu Wuliu said with a bitter smile.

In fact, before Zhu Jun left, he gave an order not to allow others to tell Xu Miaojin to go to the front line for disaster relief.

After all, with Xu Miaojin's character, she will definitely follow her when the time comes.

How long can you keep it hidden?

Xu Miaojin nodded. She was indeed tired in the past two days, and she had been exposed to the rain and cold. Her head was a little dizzy. She touched her forehead and said, "Ah, I have a fever!"

She was shocked. She had a fever at this time. If Zhu Jun knew about it, he would definitely drive her away.

She put down her hands as if nothing had happened and decided to drink ginger soup that night!

On the other side, Zhu Jun has come to the front line.

The floods are overflowing and are pouring violently inland.

"Ms. Ganlin!"

Zhu Jun yelled, "Evacuate all the people nearby, hurry!"

It's getting dark, and the light of torches brings hope.

But Zhu Jun now has the desire to kill people. Fortunately, there are few people nearby, and Xu An was more thoughtful and moved the people closer to the water away.

The people in the city also spontaneously came to provide disaster relief, and the pressure on the Suzaku Army was greatly reduced.

By the time it gets dark, all the people have been transferred.

Zhu Jun's feet were trembling from exhaustion. That night, his feet were almost soaked in water, and his skin was soaked in water.

Wu Lang walked over tiredly, "Your Highness, let me leave the reinforcing of the dam to Wei Chen. Your Highness must pay attention to your health."

Zhu Jun did not speak, but looked at the Suzaku Army lying on the bank and sleeping soundly, and immediately said: "The dam is getting higher every year, and the water is rising every year. It seems that it is caused by the increase in silt on the river bed.

This only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The only way is to wait until the flood subsides, clean up the river bed, and then strengthen the dike. It will take decades, or even hundreds of years, to build a semi-permanent solid dike!"

Wu Lang smiled bitterly, "What Your Highness is saying is that the imperial court does not allocate money, and with the supervision of the production in Zhongdu, there is no way to spare manpower.

This time for disaster relief, almost half of the people in the city have been recruited. We can't let the people work in vain on an empty stomach, otherwise big trouble will happen!"

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "Marquis Wu doesn't need to worry about this matter!"

After saying that, he left directly.

He is not the same person as these people. If he doesn’t torture these people to death, his surname will not be Zhu!

Sacks filled with sand and gravel were sent to the river embankment for reinforcement.

It was not until the fifth day of work that the gap in the Huaihe River was completely blocked, and the flooding gradually receded.

Zhu Jun sat down on the ground and fought hard for five days and five nights, mobilizing nearly 100,000 people to completely overcome this flood.

Endless exhaustion swept over him, but Zhu Jun did not go back to sleep.
