Chapter 168 Heaven is not benevolent, all things are dogs, saints...(1/2)
In mid-August, dry rice and rice are ripe, which is the harvest season.
Next to Taishou Lake, thousands of acres of fertile land carry the hopes of the eight counties of Yanzhou and the four counties of Xuzhou, and also embodies Cao Cao's all-out idea of welcoming the emperor!
The sky is as hot as ever, as if this...drought is never ending.
Dry weather, dry season.
Suddenly, a gust of north wind blew, and a dark cloud surged from the northern sky. During this period, lightning and thunder were accompanied by waves of lightning.
In an instant, a strong wind blew, dark clouds filled the sky, and then the raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky, dripped into the eaves, dripped into the Qiong Building, countless windows were blown by the wind, and the rain blew it.
.
All the people, all the farmers, and all the soldiers are facing their backs...
Everyone stood in a daze in the rain, letting the rain hit themselves.
They shouted excitedly and shouted loudly... "The rain is coming, the rain is coming... The rain is finally here!"
This damn drought has finally passed.
"Boom!"
Another thunderbolt, deafening, and in an instant... the rain formed a line. With a "wow", the heavy rain poured down from the sky like a collapsed sky.
The strong wind was rolling with raindrops, like countless whips, smashing down fiercely, like a giant python leaping among the clouds, and a thunder exploded violently.
"It's too heavy... Go home quickly!"
"Yes, this will take the next night, how can it be worth it?"
"Bao hat, who has a bao hat?"
In the fields, farmers who were still catching locusts quickly dispersed in birds and beasts... The rain was too tight.
…
It's raining heavily!
The sky was roaring continuously, and the speed of raindrops fell like hundreds of thousands of arrows falling from the sky.
Gradually, the people realized something was wrong... It was not raining!
This clearly poured hundreds of rivers down in an instant!
The wind is roaring, the thunder is roaring, the sky seems to be shaking violently, the dark clouds are increasing, as if burning, spraying with terrible blue flames...
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and then a "boom" sounded, and a flash of lightning broke an old tree.
The sky is trembling, and the earth is trembling timidly!
At this time...
Many farmers near Chenliu County realized a problem. Under such heavy rain, the water of Taishou River must have overflowed the river embankment, poured back into nearby ponds, and even destroyed the embankment, causing floods...
Will the thousands of acres of rice planted around this pond be washed away?
This... This is the hope of all the people in Yanzhou and Xuzhou today!
"Damn..."
"It's not over, and the rice will be washed away."
"Oh...oh!"
Roars came from houses, but...their voices could not shake the sound of rain outside the window, and the thunder and lightning outside the window roared!
This is a heavy rain in the Central Plains since the hot summer!
It seems to be a little later than before, and it is much more powerful than ever before.
…
Next to Taishou River...
Xiahou Dun stared at his eyebrows tightly, and Dian Wei beside him also frowned.
As early as more than ten days ago, Dian Wei brought the soldiers of Long Xiao Camp to come and told Xiahou Dun a news that Mr. Lu calculated that there would be floods in the Taishou River... He asked him to do a good job in flood prevention and strengthen the river embankment.
, prepare enough sandbags in advance, ready to block the gap in Taishou River at any time.
It’s also a blessing that Dian Wei personally brought it to him…
Xiahou Dun knew that Dian Wei was now my brother's personal guard. Since Dian Wei came here in person, then... the heavy rain poured down, the inference of the flood in Taishou River must be absolutely inseparable!
But when strengthening the river bank, how can it be so easy to talk?
Since his elder brother Cao Cao took over Yanzhou, he has never repaired the embankment of Taishou River. Xiahou Dun had a vague premonition!
All he could do was mobilize all his soldiers to harvest rice and prepare sufficient sandbags for emergencies.
In ancient times, there was no weather forecast.
The so-called judgment of the weather is mostly about climbing the tower to look at the air. What you can only see is the weather changes that you can see, and this... it would be nice to predict the weather within two hours at most.
For this reason, from the signs of rain, Xiahou Dun led more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to guard the river bank and closely monitored the changes in the water level in the Taishou River.
Many people near Taishou River also came here one after another. Their mood was the same as Xiahou Dun. They knew more clearly what General Xiahou and these soldiers were guarding?
The rain is getting heavier and heavier...
call…
The heavy breathing sounds are endless!
Xiahou Dun stood here, and the farmers seemed to have finally calmed down. They stood tightly behind him, and everyone wanted to help... do their part!
The people and soldiers, nearly 20,000 people were scattered on the river embankment dam in straw raincoats...
The rain is getting heavier and the wind is getting heavier. The rumbling thunder disperses into waves of thunder, which makes people subconsciously feel thrilling, while the thunder is still clattering, shooting lightning like golden arrows from the dense clouds
Shoot towards the earth and towards every corner of the dam.
"Grandma, I can't hear anything." Dian Wei roared hard, but in such a heavy rain, how could he hear each other's voices?
If there is a danger, only by beating gongs and drums can others realize it and rush to the place where the dam was broken as soon as possible!
Looking at the tens of thousands of people on the embankment in an orderly manner...
Dian Wei couldn't help but sigh, thanks to the young master inferring in advance that General Xiahou had prepared a lot, otherwise... wouldn't this place be messed up now?
The rain slid from the corner of Xiahou Dun's face. Although it seemed that the embankment could still hold on, he always had a calm face, and the water level line continued to rise, making his heart almost tightly grasp.
At this moment, if possible, he really wanted to live with God's ancestors...
After finally surviving the drought, until the dry rice is mature, your uncle's, it has been so heavy rain. If all the rice is washed away, the people, farmers, and soldiers in Yanzhou will all be
Going hungry!
Where are so many locusts in the field for people to prey on?
Not to mention that his brother, who is a friend of eight, is still planning major events, and his elder brother is even more interested in expanding territory. The foundation of all this is in the rice fields behind Xiahou Dun!
The raindrops were like threads, slapped on his face, and on his straw raincoat, which hurt... In addition to the pain, it was also cold. The rain seemed to be soaked in ice for thousands of years.
"Grandma, my brother used to say, "What kind of gods are unkind, everything is a dog, saints are unkind, people are all dogs, these great principles have an egg, and I can keep this rice field, God, you are a dog
!”
Cao Cao used to... he always liked to teach these clan brothers some of the words of saints...
However, if you can listen to Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong... it is another story.
"not good…"
Suddenly, the sound of gongs in his ears resounded, and Xiahou Dun and Dian Wei's faces were all frozen. "Has the dam burst?" The two of them subconsciously spoke in unison.
The next moment, the two of them stepped up their cold legs almost at the same time and rushed towards the sound of the gong.
Sure enough... the severe rainstorm still caused floods in Taishou River. A dam could not withstand the impact of the flood and was instantly washed away a gap.
The water of Taishou River is surging towards the embankment... It is the terraced fields of dry rice.
actually…
Xiahou Dun had prepared enough, and his soldiers immediately pushed the straw bags filled with soil into the gap, but the water flow was too fast, and the straw bags were washed away in an instant. The situation was not optimistic.
If you block this gap, the gap will only become larger, and even pour back into the rice fields beside you...
call…
Xiahou Dun bulged his mouth and his eyebrows were fixed. He breathed heavily and sweared.
"I'm going to be your ancestor!"
The rain pouring down from the sky became colder and colder. Xiahou Dun felt cold all over his body, his teeth were trembling, but... than this coldness, his heart was even colder.
The flood cannot be allowed to flow back into the rice fields. This is the hope that my brother finally brought to Cao's camp and Yanzhou!
Around the left and right, the soldiers and farmers also showed infinite worry in their eyes, and even... this worry became more and more intense, and it would gather into another emotion - despair!
After the severe drought, even the last hope of the rice fields, will even be washed away? Is everything a dream?
tread…
Xiahou Dun took a step forward, and at this moment, he seemed to have made some decision.
He moved his steps and planned to jump into the river first.
Unexpectedly, Dian Wei had already taken him one step ahead... He jumped into the river with a "thump". Now... everyone, including Xiahou Dun, was shocked.
The next moment...Dian Wei stood up from the river. He was tall and had enough tonnage. He stood on his heels in the turbulent water flow with his body.
"Why are you still standing there? The Du Niang from Long Xiao Camp jumps for me!"
To be continued...
