Chapter 565 Active Rescue
After asking about the situation, Gu Nanxi did not hesitate much and summoned Niu Jinyi and others overnight: "The river embankment in Pingyang County is probably unsustainable. Let's try to rescue the people of Pingyang County before the embankment breaks."< br>
"Father, you lead people to take care of the people. Niu Jinyi, go and choose people who are good at water and hire more boats."
Gu Nanxi's soldiers are basically all Yunzhou cavalry, and they are not very good at water.
If you want to fight the flood, you still need to select suitable personnel from the local people and refugees in Shuozhou. The Yunzhou cavalry is responsible for suppressing the formation and maintaining order.
With Gu Nanxi's order, the entire Wudu County was lit up.
Ordinary people who were sleeping woke up at the call of the village leader and signed up to participate.
As soon as it dawned, the early rescue team was already ready. Rows of small boats were tied to the river bank, shaking violently with the waves.
The leading sailor's clothes were already soaked by the waves. He said loudly to his companions: "We are now Duke Yun's people, and we cannot embarrass her!"
"Mr. Yun Guo trusts us and does not look down on us just because we are Shuozhou people! We also want to show those Yunzhou people that we can do better than them!"
"Today we are rescuing others! In the future, if we are in danger, they will come to rescue us too!"
"Work together, unity is strength!"
"Unity is strength!" the boatmen roared, driving their boats and riding the wind and waves to Pingyang County.
At the other end, a large group of people transported wooden planks and blew pig urine bubbles in preparation for building a pontoon bridge.
Shuozhou doesn’t have enough pig urine, but Yunzhou has a pig breeding base!
The messenger ran back to Yunzhou for help at a faster speed than the eight hundred miles.
The subordinate officials of Pingyang County stood aside stupidly, looking at the turbulent scene in front of them, not knowing what to do at all.
Yun Guogong's mobility completely exceeded his imagination.
Not only did Duke Yun not hesitate, but he did his best to carry out rescue work.
Those Yunzhou cavalrymen did not care about their past grudges. Those who chopped wood chopped wood, and those who worked hard worked hard.
It only took less than one night for the official rescue to begin!
If he were in Hezhong County, at this time, he probably wouldn't even have met the governor!
"What are you doing?" Among the crowd, the subordinate saw the boatman who had come to Wudu County with him, walking out excitedly.
Boatman: "The county government is recruiting boatmen, and I will go to provide disaster relief."
Subordinate: "How dangerous it is, have you forgotten? We both almost died!"
The boatman stared at the subordinate in disbelief: "Shuozhou and Yunzhou are risking their lives to save Pingyang County. As the magistrate of Pingyang County, I am just watching from outside?!"
The boatman didn't even look at the subordinate, and ran to catch up with the large army in front: "My wife and children are still in the county! When the squires in the village evacuate, they will not take them with them."
Whether they are refugees or soldiers, they are all busy and racing against time.
At this moment, the subordinate felt like he was an alien if he didn't do anything.
The subordinate official did not dare to return to Pingyang County, but he was familiar with Pingyang County, so he told Niu Jinyi all about the river conditions and the distribution of villages.
……
After the Pingyang County Magistrate finished writing the letter, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
If Duke Yun doesn't take action and this matter leaks out, won't his official career come to an end? !
The Pingyang County Magistrate really couldn't sleep and walked around the house.
Until the next day, the weather in Pingyang County actually cleared up!
"It's such a sin. They released the flood, and we have clear weather! This is really a disaster for fish in the pond!"
The county magistrate of Pingyang was looking forward to seeing what happened. Did Duke Yun receive the letter? Are you planning to send troops?
Pingyang County, Xishan Village.
Looking around, there is a vast ocean for dozens of miles, with flat land and water two feet deep. Houses and farmland were all in Zeguo. Many people and livestock were drowned and killed. Autumn crops everywhere were destroyed.
Most of the private houses in Xishan Village are made of adobe bricks. They have been exposed to rain for a long time and become cracked. Once flooded by floods, all the walls will fall down.
Some survivors climbed into the trees and shouted for help.
There are also lucky people who pick up a piece of wood or sit in a wooden basin and follow the water, not knowing where they are going.
Their eyes were dull, as if they were frightened, and they stared blankly at the bodies floating in the river.
This flood happened suddenly, and not only people but also animals did not react.
Pheasants, rabbits in the mountains and forests, and even tigers that were so hungry that their ribs could be seen, were swept to death by the torrent.
The surviving villagers were still lucky. During the war in Yunzhou, a lot of grain and grass passed through Hezhong County. Some brave people sold the grain privately, and the villagers secretly saved some.
If it weren't for these stored grains, they would have been unable to survive the drought.
However, the food they had eaten by the grain also disappeared with the flood.

Can you survive a flood? have no idea.
Will he starve to death if he survives? have no idea.
Human life is so cheap, even cheaper than dirt.
The sky cleared and the temperature gradually increased.
Experienced old people know that this is not a good thing. After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. If you continue to soak in this dirty river water, you will definitely get plague!
"Help, come help!" A lady sitting in a barrel, holding a child who had long since lost her life, called for help in a hoarse voice.
There was a man lying on the wooden board not far from her: "Stop shouting and save your energy. No one will come to save us. The county magistrate didn't even save us from the drought, and it's even less likely to send someone to save us now." .”
The woman hugged the child tightly, as if she could draw strength from it.
Suddenly, a small red dot appeared in the farthest corner of the field of vision.
As the red dot got closer and closer, the two discovered that it was not a red dot at all, but a flag!
A bright red sun star flag!
Where the flag is is a wooden boat!
The two people instantly burst out with infinite hope of survival and shouted loudly: "We are here! Come and save us!"
The wooden boat came over quickly, and the people on the boat pulled the two people on board.
"Dalang?!"
"Fourth sister!"
The woman was surprised to find that most of the passengers on the boat were villagers who had been washed away by the flood!
"What's going on?"
"Gong Yun has sent someone to rescue us! Sit down quickly, we have to rescue others."
The woman looked confused: "But aren't we from Hezhong County?"
The man who was called Dalang gritted his teeth and said: "No, not anymore! In order to save Hezhong Mansion, the governor directly released the flood and did not send anyone to notify Pingyang County. The county magistrate simply dedicated the entire Pingyang County to Yun Duke! ”
"Now we belong to Duke Yun, and Duke Yun will not leave us alone! Now, she has sent someone to save us!"
The boatman wiped the sweat from his forehead and worked harder: "The boat is full, I will take you back to Wudu County first. Someone will arrange it for you then."
"What about you?"
"We have to come back to rescue people. Duke Yun said that we must rescue as many people as possible before the embankment breaks!"
