Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296 Which one is more important?

The sky is white and the earth is white, and the raindrops fall into pieces.

Looking at the endless vastness makes one feel despair.

On the embankment where the river roared, several soldiers were rolling and crawling.

The military uniforms they wore could no longer see their original appearance, and were covered with a thick layer of mud. Their bamboo hats and raincoats had long lost their effectiveness. The cold rainwater got into their clothes and flowed into threads along their trousers.

But no one cares.

Their eyes were always fixed on the rising river water, and they searched every corner of the embankment intently.

"Are you sure nothing is wrong?"

"Captain, don't worry. The whole group will patrol continuously and there will definitely be no mistakes."

The leading officer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing everyone in such a mess, how could he not feel distressed?

"Okay, let's go back for now, change clothes, and have something to eat. God, when will the weather finally clear up?"

A few people came down from the embankment and headed back along the path that had been soaked by the rain.

Just as we turned onto the main road, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from the white rain curtain in the distance.

Before anyone could react, a fast horse was already approaching.

The knight on the horse was really startled when he saw someone. When he saw the appearance of the people clearly, he couldn't help being ecstatic, and he actually fell off the horse that was galloping at full speed.

In just a moment, several people could see clearly.

The knight on the horse is also a soldier of the Xia army.

They rushed forward, only to find that the man was breathing rapidly, vomiting blood from his mouth, but his expression was very anxious.

"Brother, how are you? Are you injured? Bear with it, we will take you to the hospital."

The knight kept shaking his head, reached into his purse, and took out a letter.

The soldiers behind saw it and quickly opened their umbrellas, creating a clean world.

When the captain received the letter, the knight was as angry as a gossamer.

"The flood... the flood... the flood is coming, hurry... hurry... report it quickly, otherwise... otherwise it will be too late."

The group leader hurriedly opened the envelope. When he saw the contents clearly, his expression changed greatly.

He was also a decisive person and immediately ordered: "Send this brother to the hospital immediately. He is a great hero. He told the hospital that he must be saved."

After giving the order, the group leader turned around and ran away.

Although it was raining heavily and the road was muddy, at this moment, he couldn't care about anything.

Huai'an is the seat of the headquarters of the Huaihe and Huaihe Military Regions.

As a strategic location on the canal and an important town in Huaibei, it has always been peaceful here.

But on this day, the urgent trumpet sounded throughout the city, causing all the people to be shocked.

What happened?

"Report to Jinan and Yangzhou quickly and ask for solutions."

Huai'an Mayor Li Datian was so flustered that he felt like the sky was falling.

In the conference room, everyone was talking a lot, everyone looked solemn, but they were helpless.

Just as the subordinate was about to turn around and leave, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open, and Huang Sanhu rushed in like the wind.

"At this time, we are waiting for orders from Jinan and Yangzhou. The day lilies are already cold. We have to take the lead in taking action. The people can't afford to wait."

Li Datian saw that it was someone from the military, and for some reason, he felt a little more at ease.

"That's a big flood. What can we do?"

Huang Sanhu's face was ferocious and domineering.

"Not to mention a big flood, even the Jade Emperor would never harm a single citizen. Mayor Li, I have ordered the entire army to mobilize to help the people move. Your government will cooperate immediately and make sure there is no mistake."

Li Datian trembled on the spot.

"Commander Huang, there is no order from the headquarters..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Gang, the military and political officer of the Lianghuai Military Region, asserted: "We all have unanimous opinions on this matter, and all of us in the Lianghuai Military Region share the responsibility."

Looking at these soldiers who are dedicated to the public service, everyone in the government burst into tears.

In times of crisis, if you hold up the sky, you have nothing to fear.

Li Datian took action.

"The world is big and the people are the biggest. If you want to go crazy, let's go crazy together. If the Central Committee punishes you, I will bear it with you."

He turned to look at all the officials.

"Let's all go down there. If a citizen is not rescued, you will jump into the water and drown yourself."

The originally calm land of Huaihe River seemed like a pot was boiling.

Countless soldiers, militiamen, and reservists, led by officials, rushed into one village after another.

"Go! Go quickly! The flood is coming! If you don't go, you will drown!"

There was a lot of panic in the village, and the people were in panic and panic.

"My chicken!"

"Auntie, don't do it! Human life is important, everything else is external."

The old lady fell to the ground and cried loudly.

"What evil have you done! We have just had a good life for a few days! God, why do you bully the poor?"

The tears of the soldiers became heavier, but they could not delay.

They carried old people who could not walk on their backs, picked up children who were crying for food, and led the vulnerable people towards the nearest high place despite the heavy wind and rain.

Throughout Huaixi, tens of millions of people are running to save their lives.

As for property damage…

How can I care about this at this moment?

Of course, Fengyang Governor Shi Kefa couldn't hide what happened so close at hand.

"Is the Xia Kingdom trying to take advantage of the situation?"

Shi Kefa was so worried that he took his entourage to the border with Xia Kingdom to check the situation in person.

I saw many people crying and howling in the wind and rain on the opposite side, while being "carried" by soldiers and staggering away. There is no greater tragedy in the world than this.

"snort!"

Seeing this scene, Shi Kefa's face turned pale.

It is said in the world that the Xia Kingdom loves its people like a son. But today it drives the people away, and its cruelty is even worse than that of the Ming Dynasty.

The situation here was seen by Xia Army soldiers.

Immediately several people ran over.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Amid the worries of his entourage, Shi Kefa remained fearless.

"I am the governor of Fengyang in the Ming Dynasty. Why are you trying to kill the people?"

The Xia army soldiers on the opposite side returned the military salute.

"It turns out to be Shi Zhongcheng. Doesn't Shi Zhongcheng not know that Henan Governor Gao Mingheng and others dug up the Yellow River embankment, and the floods are rushing towards this direction? We are moving the people to higher places, otherwise we don't know how many people will drown.

.”

Shi Kefa's face turned pale as if he had been electrocuted.

"What did you say? Are you telling the truth?"

The Xia army soldiers on the opposite side were quite puzzled.

"Of course this is true. Could it be that Shi Zhongcheng, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, didn't know this?"

Shi Kefa's heart was in turmoil, and he only felt boundless fear.

Those officials...

them……

How dare you?

He understood that a terrible disaster was coming.

"Thank you all for speaking out. I am deeply grateful."

Xia Kingdom will be hit by floods, and Fengyang will definitely not recover.

When he thought that countless people might be killed in the flood, Shi Kefa was so anxious that he turned around and left.

Hope it's not too late.

Hope it can still be saved.

He ran with all his strength to rush back to Fengyang and summon officials to come up with countermeasures.

But Fengyang was still far away, and the earth suddenly began to shake violently.

Shi Kefa was a little unsteady on his feet and looked to the northwest in astonishment.

But I saw a shining white line on the horizon in the distance, like thousands of troops galloping and smoke rising, rushing towards me at great speed.

Shi Kefa lost all his energy and spirit in an instant and knew that it was too late.

"Evil thief! How could anyone in the world be so evil!"
