Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 234 Not optimistic!

Wu Xiang suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please grant King Mu the right to mobilize troops and horses."

The empress pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Then dispatch [-] imperial troops and [-] spy guards to escort the emperor to the disaster relief. In addition, I will give you the power to mobilize the garrisons of various provinces without asking the governor."

Hearing this, King Mu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This humble minister must do his best!"

Wu Xiang on the side listened and nodded secretly.

In this way, King Mu's authority is extremely large.

In addition to being unable to mobilize soldiers and horses in the army town, the garrisons of various provinces can be used by him. If the situation is not particularly bad, having such power is enough to deal with it.

Immediately, he said aloud, "King Mu, if nothing unexpected happens, the bandits in Panlian Mansion will definitely absorb the refugees from Zhaolie. You need to be careful not to let the bandits take advantage of the situation to increase."

King Mu said solemnly, "I understand what Prime Minister Wu said, and I will definitely act carefully!"

After finishing speaking, he said goodbye, and walked out of the imperial study room quickly.

The matter of disaster relief cannot be delayed, and he has to set off immediately.

In the imperial study room, it became silent.

The Empress looked worried, Wen Xiang was in a state of panic, but Wu Xiang was silent.

They are all worried about the future ahead.

……

A hundred miles away from Zhaolie Mansion, in the wild beside the official road.

Many elite soldiers were guarding the surrounding area and taking a short rest. There was a carriage in the center, and a man in Tsing Yi with a slightly dark complexion and a solemn expression was getting off the carriage.

Looking at the sky, although it was extremely gloomy, the rain had stopped. The man in Tsing Yi, that is, Mu Wang, said in a deep voice, "I will abandon the car and change the horse, and move forward at full speed!"

He originally wanted to rush to Zhaolie Mansion as soon as possible, but he didn't know that it had been raining for several days and the road was muddy, so that the march was slow, and it took four days to get here.

Under the persuasion of his subordinates, he could only sit in the carriage, so as not to hurt himself in the rain and affect the subsequent disaster relief work.

Now that the rain has stopped, it is natural to change horses and move forward at full speed.

The staff on the side listened and could only nod in response.

At this moment, King Mu suddenly heard a howling sound. He looked quickly and saw many ragged and dirty disaster victims staggering towards this side on the official road.

King Mu frowned suddenly.

There are still hundreds of miles away from Zhaolie Mansion, and there are so many victims, it can be seen that the situation...is not optimistic!
King Mu's face became more and more serious.

He asked the person who delivered Zhao Lie's documents, they rushed eight hundred miles and killed four horses, but because of the continuous rain, it took two days to send the documents to Zhanjing.

But now, he has spent four days on the way to Zhaolie Mansion... In other words, six days have passed since the day the embankment broke!
These six days are enough to make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people displaced and turned into refugees...

These refugees are very likely to be absorbed by the Panlian Bandits and turn them into a force against the imperial court, dragging down Linzhan's national strength...

Thinking of this, King Mu felt heavy in his heart, as if a huge and incomparable stone had been crushed!

He immediately shouted, "Don't rest anymore, set off immediately!"

The many soldiers who had just been stationed for a short time could only protect King Mu and set off again, galloping towards Zhaolie Mansion.

Along the way, King Mu saw more and more disaster victims, all of them were sallow and emaciated, with ragged clothes, walking slowly on the official road.

Perhaps they hadn't eaten for a few days, and the victims were so weak that they walked tremblingly like zombies.

King Mu frowned even tighter, and kept shaking his head.

Fortunately, when he arrived, he had allocated disaster relief funds and ordered the prefectures and counties along the way to properly resettle the victims and provide them with food, clothing and shelter.

When these disaster victims walk to the next prefecture, they can fill their stomachs and get out of trouble.

And what he has to do is to rush to Zhaolie Mansion immediately to stop the flood and prevent the refugees from expanding and turning into bandits.

After galloping at full speed for half a day, King Mu led many soldiers into the territory of Zhaolie Mansion.

After searching for someone, I learned that the government office has been flooded, and many officials and servants have fled to Yanle County, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhaolie Mansion.

This county is the closest to Lijiang in Zhaolie Mansion, but it was not flooded.

King Mu immediately changed direction and rushed towards Yanle County.

Along the way, he saw shocking scenes, many starved to death, fell on the official road, swallowed by wild dogs, only the white skeleton remained.

He was stunned!

Logically speaking, in six days, so many people would not starve to death!
After all, when fleeing, these victims should still have food, which can last for a few days.

But now, what is going on?

Really puzzled, King Mu ordered the soldiers to stop, found a victim with a withered face, and asked anxiously, "How is the situation now?"

The victims glanced at King Mu, and then at the many soldiers. Their expressions were numb, and they continued to stagger forward without any reaction.

When King Mu saw it, he shouted to his staff, "Bring some dry food!"

Hearing the word "dry food", the dull eyes of several victims around them lit up, and the power gushing out from nowhere rushed to King Mu, hissing, "I want food! Give me! Give me food!" I!"

Immediately, several spy guards quickly stepped forward to stop these almost violent victims, so as not to hurt King Mu.

Holding a bag of dry food, King Mu frowned and said, "Whatever I ask, what do you answer? This bag of dry food belongs to you."

Along the way, he met many victims, but none of them provided food, because the dry food was food for the soldiers.

They need the food to provide energy before they can rush to Panlian Mansion to avoid the situation from worsening.

If time is spent on the road to treat the victims, maybe a moment of delay will cause the flood to continue to spread and the number of victims to skyrocket.

So they didn't dare to delay, and could only hand over the task of treating the victims to the prefectures and counties along the road.

After hearing this, several disaster victims nodded repeatedly, looking at the food in King Mu's hands, their faces full of longing.

"Downstream of the Li River, when did the embankment burst?" King Mu asked in a deep voice.

He faintly felt that the time was a bit wrong.

If the embankment had only been broken for six days, it would have been impossible for so many people to die of starvation.

So he intends to ask the victims, these people will not lie.

"Well... it seems... ten years ago..."

"No...it was thirteen days ago..."

"It was thirteen days ago..."

"Thirteen……"

The victims answered in a hurry, as if they were worried that if they answered too slowly, they would not be able to get food.

Hearing the answer, King Mu froze instantly!
Thirteen days ago?

Not six days ago?
That is to say, seven days after the embankment broke, the prefect of Zhaolie reported the news?

King Mu's heart was full of anger, his pupils were almost on fire, and he couldn't help clenching his fists!
damn it!
Damn prefect Zhaolie!
Angry in his heart, he has decided that after arriving in Yanle County, the first thing to do is to behead the prefect of Zhaolie and use his head to pay homage to the dead people!
