Chapter 262

It was already late at night for the two friends, Xuyi city and county yamen, and it was quiet, except for the sound of rain pattering on the tiles, there was nothing else.

And as Li Ke transferred the troops of Chu, Hao, Chu, and Shou to Chuzhou, he also recruited local civilians and repaired dikes overnight.Two days later, before the Huai River broke its embankment, the embankment at the intersection of Huai River and Si River was raised by another three feet.

The raised embankment of the Huaishui River was finally able to survive the emergency. Li Ke finally let go of his heart that had been raised for a long time, and went back to the county office to rest earlier than usual. At this time, Li Ke was holding Xiao Yuexian fell asleep on the bed in the inner room.

"dong dong dong"

At the end of the child's time and the beginning of the scandal, it was the time when people were most sleepy, and when Li Ke was sleeping soundly, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"His Royal Highness, Yuan Chengfan, who is in charge of Shui Cao, has something to see." After a while of knocking on the door, there was a call from the guard of the Wangfu who was on duty outside the door.

Li Kefei is a sleepy person, and he had issued a password earlier, if there is an urgent matter to report, even if it is late at night, he can knock on the door to report.

And what is Li Ke's status, it is naturally a very important thing to be able to ask Wang Fuwei to report at night and wake Li Ke up.

Li Ke heard the voice from the door and slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, Xiao Yuexian who was resting with Li Ke was also awakened.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Xiao Yuexian woke up with half-opened eyes, saw that Li Ke had sat up, so she asked.

Li Ke got up, and replied: "Yuan Chengfan asked for an interview, and the Wangfu guard sent the report late at night. There must be troubles on the Huaishui side."

Xiao Yuexian heard the sound of raindrops in his ears, and it was no longer as rushing as before, so he asked in puzzlement: "Now that the heavy rain has slowed down, Your Highness is just raising the Huaishui embankment today, what trouble can happen?"

Today's rain is no longer as rapid as it was a few days ago, and has eased a lot. Logically speaking, there is no possibility that the Huai River will break the embankment. At this time, Yuan Chengfan asked for a visit, what can happen to the Huai River?

Li Ke replied: "I don't know about this matter, but Yuan Chengfan is not a man of surprise, since he has come, he must have something important to do."

Li Ke said, without the slightest delay, picked up the clothes on the side and put them on.

"The concubine changes clothes as His Highness."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuexian knew that Li Ke was in a hurry, so she quickly put on the outer shirt on her body, and then got up to help Li Ke change.

After a while, when Li Ke was fully dressed, he hurried out of the room.

Xiao Yuexian was awakened from sleep, and helped Li Ke change clothes in a daze, and watched Li Ke go out of the house. It took less than half a cup of tea. Xiao Yuexian watched Li Ke leave, but she hadn't completely recovered Come.

However, with Li Ke's status, Yuan Chengfan was able to ask Li Ke to see Li Ke in the middle of the night. Naturally, it was an extremely urgent and imminent matter. Xiao Yuexian also had a plan in mind as he watched Li Ke leave.

Now that it is raining heavily in Huainan, it is a rare opportunity for Xiao Yuexian to go out to supervise the water for Li Ke. Xiao Yuexian will not be careless about Li Ke's words and deeds.

What is it that can be so important, Xiao Yuexian's heart is also full of curiosity, where there is still half a bit of sleepiness, after changing clothes, he also leaves the room, in the name of serving tea, and follows Li Ke to the side hall. go.

"My servant, Yuan Chengfan, pay my respects to Your Highness." Li Ke had just arrived at the side hall, and Yuan Chengfan was already waiting in the hall, paying homage to Li Ke.

Since Li Ke went north to Chuzhou to supervise the water, he used Yuan Chengfan as his confidant, and Yuan Chengfan also called himself a disciple in front of Li Ke in private.

Li Ke helped Yuan Chengfan up, and hurriedly asked: "Yuan Qing must have something important to see you at night."

Yuan Chengfan said: "Your Majesty, the water flow in Surabaya is so violent that it has broken through the newly built embankment recently. The embankment at the junction of Huai River and Si River may not last long."

Surabaya is in a hurry, and the embankment is broken!

Li Ke's heart trembled suddenly after hearing Yuan Chengfan's words. He didn't expect that when he thought the overall situation was stable, such troubles would happen again.

If the current in Surabaya is violent and washes away the embankment, the newly built embankment is not yet stable, so it will naturally be difficult to resist, and it will be destroyed by the rapids.

Li Ke quickly asked, "When did this happen?"

Yuan Chengfan replied: "Just half an hour ago."

In half an hour, in just half an hour, the river embankment he had urgently repaired in three days was washed away, what kind of rapids it must be.

Li Ke then asked: "Today's heavy rain is not as heavy as yesterday, how could such a situation suddenly appear?"

Yuan Chengfan replied: "If it is raining heavily, I am afraid that the Surabaya River will not rush here. The Surabaya River is now so rapid that there was water pouring in at that time."

Li Ke looked at Yuan Chengfan's determined face, and knew that although the time was short and it was difficult to investigate thoroughly, Yuan Chengfan must have already guessed.

Li Ke asked: "What does Yuan Qing mean?"

Yuan Chengfan said: "Above Sishui is Bianshui. Surabaya is in a hurry. I'm afraid something went wrong on Bianshui."

Li Ke asked in bewilderment: "What could go wrong on the Bianshui side?"

Surabaya starts from Xuzhou, and Bianshui starts from Bianzhou. Although Surabaya and Bianshui merge, they are only branches of Bianshui, and the water volume is not abundant. How could the flow of Surabaya be so rapid?
Yuan Chengfan said: "If it was just heavy rain, I am afraid that the situation of the Surabaya water would not be so sudden. What I am worried about is that the Bian River will burst its embankment, and the flow of the Bian River will break through the river channel and pour into Surabaya from the upper reaches. This is a disaster."

The Bian River broke its embankment and poured into Surabaya.Li Ke frowned after hearing Yuan Chengfan's words.

This year's rain is strange. In the past, Huainan and Huaibei had always experienced heavy rain, but since summer this year, both sides of the Huai River have experienced heavy rain at the same time, and it has not stopped for the past few months. It seems that this is not impossible.

The heavy rain in Huainan, just a stream of Surabaya alone is enough for Li Ke to have a headache. If the Bian River breaks its embankment, the Bian River flows south into Surabaya, and then enters the Huaihe River through Surabaya, then Li Ke will be completely caught off guard.

"The matter in Huainan, this king is already too busy to deal with it. Unexpectedly, such things have happened in Huaibei. The governors of the four prefectures of Bian, Song, Xu, and Yi are all doing a lot. This king will never spare them." Naturally, the governors of the four prefectures in Shuiyanhe couldn't absolve themselves of the blame, and Li Ke slapped the case angrily.

Yuan Chengfan also sighed helplessly after listening to Li Ke's words.

Li Ke was born in the army, so naturally he has no knowledge of water administration, but Yuan Chengfan is very clear about this matter.

There is the Huai River in Huainan, so it is not easy to control the water naturally, but the four prefectures of Bian, Song, Xu, and Yi also have one of the four duns, which is related to the survival of the people in Shandong. Most of these local officials' thoughts are on Jishui, how can Do you care too much about the tributary of Bianshui?

In fact, in Yuan Chengfan's eyes, what is really scary is not the Bian River, but the Fei River, Ying River and other branch waters in the upper reaches of the Huai River. If you resist, even the whole Xuyi may be razed to the ground.

Yuan Chengfan said: "If the Huai River breaks its embankment, it will definitely cause serious damage. I think the most urgent thing for Your Highness is to evacuate from Xuyi first, so as not to fall into danger."
