Adou who can afford it

Linxiang is only more than 100 miles away from Luo County, at this time in summer, Xiangshui rises, galloping to the north, the momentum is magnificent, Liu Chan and his party go south along the road of Xiangshui embankment, all the way to see, the scenery is beautiful, but the population is sparse, most of the areas are in the wild land that is uninhabited.

"This era is still a time when man is fighting with nature, far from the point of conquering nature. Liu Chan sighed in his heart.

In later generations, both sides of the Xiangshui River were huge granaries, which could be described as the land of fish and rice.

The road is difficult, it took a whole day to reach the outside of

Linxiang City, Linxiang City is as its name, it is built near Xiangshui, three city walls, one faces Xiangshui, and the river is a barrier.

However, when they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw countless city residents hurrying out of the city with their families and mouths.

"What's going on?" Liu Chan said curiously.

Chen Zhi ordered someone to stop a running person to ask, it turned out that the water in Hunan was surging, the upstream flood came, and the lowland on the waterfront side of Xiangcheng had been soaked by floods, and hundreds of houses were flooded, and the flood was still rising at this time.

"Although there are one or two floods into the city every year, and the people in Linxiang City have become accustomed to it, but this time they said that the flood is bigger than before, and I am afraid that it will inundate the entire Linxiang City, so everyone runs outside the city and goes to relatives outside the city. Chen Zhi said to Liu Chan.

"The city will soon be flooded, young master, do we still want to enter the city?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Every year in the spring and summer rainy season, Linxiang City has to experience a large or small flood, which is why Linxiang City, as a county governance, is not as large as Luo County, but because of the geographical location, Linxiang has to be the county government. Jiang Wan preached beside him.

Linxiang is in the middle section of Xiangshui, east of Yuzhang, is the eastern gateway of Changsha County, and at the same time, Linxiang is the starting point of the Lingnan Ancient Road in the south of Jingzhou.

This is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is of great strategic significance, so it is set as the county of Changsha County.

"Let's go in and have a look, and then send someone to rent a courtyard high up outside the city, and we'll stay first." Liu Chan said.

Chen immediately arranged for someone to visit a residence that could accommodate a group of people.

Entering the city, the streets were not in a hurry, many shops began to close their doors to carry goods, and the vendors who set up stalls did not hurry to pack up and go home, ready to leave the city.

Obviously, after many times, the people in the city did not panic.

"Go directly to the west of the city to see the water potential. "

The west side of the city is the waterfront, at this time the water has spread to the windows of the house, the terrain here is from low to high, Liu Chan stands on the street, the naked eye can see that the water has been slowly rising.

"At this rising rate, within an hour, the entire Linxiang City will be flooded. Jiang Wan said.

"After the flood, there is a plague, it is impossible for Zhang Ji not to make a move at that time, young master, Mrs. Mi's illness cannot be delayed, what should we do?" Chen Zhi couldn't help but be a little worried that because of this flood, Zhang Ji would be dragged down.

Liu Chan looked at the turbulent river, the turbid and yellowish river water was surging down, and in the river, there was actually a person treading water in the water, this person showed a head on the surface of the river, dived for a while, and appeared on the surface of the water for a while, and the turbulent river water did not seem to be able to wash him.

Chen Zhi and Jiang Wan also noticed this scene, and the two were dumbfounded.

Chen Zhi even murmured: "Treading water in the flood, isn't this person a god?" "

I can't say a godman, but such a person is really a rare and powerful person in the world, uncle, when he comes ashore, you can recruit him, see if you can recruit my father." Liu Chan said to Chen Zhi.

Such a person is definitely not an unknown person, maybe he is also a person who leaves a name in the history books, and it is best to recruit success, and you can know such a hero without thinking about it.

Chen Zhi asked suspiciously: "Why didn't the young master go to solicit it in person?

Liu Chan chuckled and said, "Uncle Dao, only you and Uncle Yun treat me as an adult at the age of two, and others won't look at me now." Therefore, it is better for you to come forward, lest I bring shame upon myself.

Jiang Wan smiled: "Talking to Zen Gongzi, I don't think you are a two-year-old child."

"Gongyan, I can't afford to call me Gongzi, you should call me Xiaolang."

"General Zuo also has a knighthood, why can't you call your son? Xiaolang is too distant. Jiang Wan looked at the strongman on the river and said.

Liu Chan is no longer reluctant, Liu Bei is in Jingzhou Mu, General Zuo, and Yicheng Tinghou, but it is not too much for outsiders to call him a son.

Chen Zhi stared at the man in the water, and said uncertainly: "This person is a little familiar." It's just that it's too far away to see clearly, and I'm not sure.

"We'll find out when he comes up." The

water was slowly rising, and the flood in the river was becoming more and more turbulent, and the man who tread the water was probably exhausted and began to swim towards the shore.

When he approached, Chen Zhi exclaimed, "It turned out to be General Huang Zhong!" Liu

Chan looked at the naked and naked strong man, who was nine feet tall and had a strong body, and water droplets slipped from his bulging and solid muscles. Huang Zhong gasped and walked out of the water, looked up and saw Chen Dao, Huang Zhong exclaimed: "Uncle Chen, why are you here?"

Chen Zhi saluted: "General Huang, I escort the young master to Linxiang."

Only then did Huang Zhong see the little Liu Chan, saluted Liu Chan, and then continued

to ask Chen Zhi: "Why did the young master come to Xiangsu?" Chen Zhi said: "Mrs. Mi is seriously ill, and the young master came to ask Zhang Ji to go to the public security to treat Mrs. Mi.

Liu Chan rolled his eyes, Huang Zhong directly ignored himself, and sure enough, he was easy to be ignored at a young age.

"That's why. But now that the city is about to be flooded, please get out of the city quickly, I have a manor outside the city, how about the young master and his uncle and nephew live with me?" Huang Zhong said.

"That's for the best. Chen Zhi said with a smile.

Huang Zhong's personal guards came over with their clothes, and after Huang Zhong put on his clothes, he looked at the flood that had just landed and only submerged to the instep of his feet, and now it was up to his knees, and sighed: "This flood is too fierce, and I am afraid that the city will be flooded for several days."

Liu Chan couldn't help asking: "Where did the Linxiang County Order go? Why didn't there be any government personnel

in the city who evacuated the people?" "It rained heavily last night, and the Linxiang County Order took people to evacuate the people in the city to the outside of the city, and now the people are being placed in the high places outside the city. Huang Zhong replied.

"What about the general's soldiers?" Liu Chan continued.

"The soldiers are stationed outside the city!" Huang Zhong said as a matter of course.

Liu Chan listened to this natural tone, and immediately understood that there is no such rule for the army to rescue and rescue disasters, at least in this era, the army is used to fight, which is something that everyone takes for granted.

Liu Chan said no more, and it was obviously unrealistic to let the army help the people.

"What does the young master mean to let the sergeants of the army help the people in the city?" Huang Zhong understood what Liu Chan meant.

Liu Chan nodded and said, "When the flood comes, many people don't have time to flee, so they need the help of the soldiers." In addition, before the flood comes, the sergeants and soldiers can be mobilized to help take precautions.

Huang Zhong smiled silently, and Chen Zhi hurriedly explained to Liu Chan: "Help the people escape the disaster to a safe place, these soldiers are likely to loot the people's property, and let the soldiers fight against natural disasters, the soldiers will be unwilling."

Chen Zhi's meaning Liu Chan also understood, let the soldiers in the army go to rescue and disaster relief, in this era of the concept to understand, this is what hard labor should do, most of the hard labor are prisoners, sons-in-law, Jia people, these people are low-status people, do these things soldiers are naturally not happy, and there is a danger of losing their lives and there is no military merit.

"It's still a matter of thought. Liu Chan said in his heart.

"You can't stay here for a long time, go out of the city to the highest place, Linxiang City will soon be submerged. Huang Zhong saw that the water had reached his thighs, and hurriedly urged.

The group hurried out of the city, Jiang Wan followed behind Liu Chan, and glanced at Huang Zhong from time to time, Huang Zhong also noticed that Jiang Wan often looked at him, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing all the time looking at me in this offspring?"

Jiang Wan bowed and saluted: "The junior is curious why the general is fighting against the flood in the river." It's dangerous, and the slightest mistake can cost you your life.

Huang Zhong laughed when he heard this: "The most tempering body in the water is the most, I have been in the water since I was a child, and often fight with the rapids, so I have a strong physique, and I fought first on the battlefield to have today's achievements." "

This kind of almost fatal exercise method can only be made by a fierce man like Huang Zhong, and he is lucky that he has survived.

Needless to say, Huang Zhong's martial arts are needless to say, he has been in the army for more than 20 years, from a pawn to a general who guards Changsha to guard Jiangdong and the barbarians today.

Jiang Wan couldn't help sighing: "Ordinary people are already terrified in the face of the flood, but the general dares to go into the water to fight against the flood, this courage really makes the younger generations worship."

Huang Zhong couldn't stop laughing, he was very useful to Jiang Wan's sycophant, and his eyes were much kinder when he looked at Jiang Wan.

Five miles out of the city, a high hill is where Huang Zhong's manor is located.

"Linxiang City is located in a low place, almost every spring and summer, the water in Hunan soars, and when the year is not good, the whole city will be flooded, so some wealthy families have houses outside the city. Huang Zhong said.

Such a city that is often flooded is not suitable for living, but the location of Linxiang City is excellent, and the trade activities from the south to the north, whether by water or land, must pass through Linxiang, which is why the often flooded Linxiang City has always existed.

Zhuangzi is not big, follow Huang Zhong in, many families are cleaning the house that has not been lived in for a long time, and a big-bellied young man in the yard saw Huang Zhong and hurriedly staggered over.

"This is the dog Huang Xu, who is sick to cause such a appearance. Huang Zhong said gloomily.

The boy was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, his body was thin and sickly, but his bony belly was like that of a pregnant woman in June.

Huang Xu saluted everyone, Jiang Wan said curiously: "Doctor Zhang is here in Linxiang, didn't the general go to Zhang Ji to treat Ling Lang? Or is Zhang Ji unwilling to make a move?"

"That's not it, Zhang Ji has been worried about my son's illness, but he has never been able to find a way to treat it thoroughly, so he can only use medicine to keep my son's life." Huang Zhong led everyone into the living room, and the group knelt down in the main and secondary seats.
