Chapter 643 Come, Really Come!

When Emperor Jiayou's sage arrived in Yangzhou, it was already June.

At this time, Yu Qinghuan had already settled down with the refugees in Liangzhou, but Changsun Tao was still dealing with "pirates" in Yangzhou.

Before welcoming Emperor Jiayou's arrival, Changsun Tao asked Ah Liu to escort Princess Zhenli to Liangzhou to join Yu Qinghuan. At this time, Yangzhou was full of empty cities, like a ghost land.

In this rich and vast land, only the Qilin Guards, Navy, some forces of Changsun Tao, and those elusive pirates are left.

After being separated for half a year, Emperor Jiayou was filled with emotion more than any other emotion when he saw his younger brother. He patted Chang Sun Tao on the shoulder, but in the end said nothing and began to listen to the reports from General Han and Wei Shu.

Chang Sun Tao touched his shoulder, revealing a complex and unspeakable emotion.

No matter how much they hate or make trouble, they are relatives after all. Sometimes those blood connections buried in the bones will still come out to cause trouble. Maybe they all realize that this will be the last day the two brothers get together. At this moment of reunion, they seem to

They are brothers who have never had any grudges.

"Your Majesty, the group of pirates were so frightened that they dispersed when they heard that your Majesty was marching in person, and fled in all directions. But now there are signs of regrouping. According to reports from spies, a large number of pirate forces have gathered here," Wei Shu pointed out.

Stand on the sand table and analyze the situation carefully.

Emperor Jiayou frowned: "This place is neither near water nor the sea, how could they gather here?"

Wei Shu said: "Your Majesty, these pirates were still bandits who dominated the mountains a year ago. Most of their lairs were in the deep mountains and old forests. It is not surprising that they are hiding in the mountains now."

Emperor Jiayou said: "It seems that I have come to the right place this time. An army of hundreds of thousands marches here and will definitely wipe out these vicious pirates!"

Wei Shu raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty is wise and will succeed immediately!"

The eldest son of the second prince, Sun Ce, always followed Emperor Jiayou without saying a word. He seemed to be much more mature, but also much silent.

But from time to time, he would still show resentment and vigilance towards Wei Shu.

When Emperor Jiayou was discussing matters, Changsun Tao did not express any opinions. He sat for a while, then exited the room and looked up at the blue sky.

The wind carried the salty smell of the sea, a little wet and greasy - the time was getting closer.

This was his and Yang Qian's plan, to gather the pirates on the higher hills of Yangzhou and bring in the soldiers and navy brought by Emperor Jiayou. When disaster strikes, as many as they can save will be saved.

But he was unsure. Although he knew that the flood was about to happen, he had never experienced it personally, and Wei Shu and Yang Qian who had experienced it had no memories of their previous lives.

So everything they do is just trying. If they don't succeed, they will fail.

Today is the second day of June. An army of hundreds of thousands of people broke out and marched toward the mountain range where the water bandits were located. They encountered no one wherever they passed, only empty towns and shabby villages.

A group of people walked for three days, getting closer and closer to where the pirates were, but at this time something changed happened in the world.

The ground shook violently at first, but soon it stopped again, while the birds and beasts in the mountains were uneasy and fled in panic.

General Han's face became extremely ugly. After a shock, he knelt down in front of Emperor Jiayou and said, "Your Majesty, there is fear of a major earthquake. Please withdraw your troops first and seek refuge in a flat place. Wait until the earthquake subsides before sending out troops."

Not too late!"

Earthquakes were rare in a century, and the soldiers had never seen such a battle before. They were so frightened that they lost their morale and found it difficult to maintain order.

Wei Shu remained silent until he received the news from the Qilin Guards, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, the Qilin Guards on duty across Yangzhou have all sent urgent messages and reported strange phenomena."

Emperor Jiayou had been persuaded by General Han to want to retreat. Hearing what Wei Shu said, he felt very uncertain. He quickly asked: "What's going on?"

Wei Shu said: "The first urgent message started two days ago. In the area where it is located, a large number of stranded fish and shrimps appeared on the beach."

"The second urgent message is that since one day ago, the sea water in the area where it is located has been abnormally receding and rising."

"The third urgent message... Your Majesty, please listen carefully."

Everyone was concentrating, only to hear loud rumbling noises in the distance, one after another, as if there was thunder in the distance.

But if the sky is clear and cloudless, where can there be thunder?

At this time, Wei Shu explained: "Since last night, there have been loud noises from the sea, bubbles suddenly appeared in the sea, and the ships on the shoal were also bumping violently. All these indicate that the sea water is about to pour in. Your Majesty, please immediately

Tell the soldiers to break camp and go to the mountains!"

General Han immediately denied: "Commander Wei, this is clearly a sign of an earthquake. How can you say that it is the intrusion of sea water? There is a huge difference between the two. If we rush up the mountain rashly, the mountains will collapse and the ground will burst. Isn't it possible that tens of thousands of people will cry out?"

Lost his life!"

Wei Shu retorted: "General Han, haven't you read the ancient books? This is obviously a precursor to the intrusion of sea water!"

The two had a heated argument, and Emperor Jiayou didn't know who to believe, and was in trouble for a while.

Suddenly, the situation changed.

The dark clouds quickly gathered and formed a huge whirlpool, as if they were about to suck the heaven and earth into it.

"Stop arguing." Changsun Tao threw something to General Han, "Look through it to the sea in the distance."

General Han raised the cylinder and just looked towards the sea, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Wei Shu quickly grabbed the cylinder and did the same thing. As a result, he, who had always been calm and composed, also looked panicked.

They had only heard that Yangzhou floods were coming, but they had never imagined what it would be like. When they saw it with their own eyes, it was like a dream, without any sense of reality, because it was beyond everyone's imagination.

What is that? A wall of water dozens of feet high.

Wei Shu looked through the cylinder and saw a wall of water rising from an endless altitude. All the sea areas in sight were occupied by it, as if the entire sea water was condensed on this sea wall.

From a distance, it seems to be forbidden, but the rumbling sound indicates that it is coming with great force, turning everything it sweeps into dust.

The ships moored on the shoal were all like insignificant leaves, being easily swept into it.

Emperor Jiayou grabbed the cylinder and looked at it. Almost instantly, he roared: "The whole army obeyed the order, immediately dropped the heavy objects, took the dry food and climbed to the top of the mountain!"

At the time of climbing, the riders on horseback rushed up and ran upwards on foot. Hundreds of thousands of horses were like ants, quickly approaching the top of the mountain.
