A woman closest to the outer city came to the side of Huangshui on this spring evening to wash clothes. The rainfall in recent days has greatly increased the amount of Huangshui. The woman has become accustomed to this situation. Her mood is better today than before. Today, she finally doesn't have to hold an umbrella to wash clothes. The drizzle in the sky is still going to endure it. After all, there are not many clothes today.

The original river channel was already submerged, so the woman could only walk on the exposed stones with her skirt carefully and plan to wash her clothes quickly and leave. As soon as the woman immersed her clothes in the river, she felt the violent flow of the river. The flow of the river was not strange. The key is that the river water flowed in the opposite direction, not along the river channel toward the outside of the city, but toward the inside of the city.

The woman began to be surprised. She stood up and looked at the city gate. She vaguely felt that she seemed to hear a rumbling sound. The woman was about to go ashore to take a look when she heard the shouts coming from the city. The shouts were shrill and fearful. The woman couldn't help but start to get nervous. She quickly pricked up her ears and began to hear what the people on the city were shouting.

"Run quickly... The flood is coming!"

The woman widened her eyes, and she couldn't believe her ears. At this time, the woman still didn't leave until she saw the city gate breaking into pieces. Then the surging flood rushed in from the city gate, and the woman collapsed to the ground. She was so scared that her whole face was twisted. Her face, which was not as beautiful as her, was even more ugly. She cried and wanted to crawl towards the direction of her home. Unfortunately, the flood came too fast, and she was completely submerged before the woman climbed through many roads.

The flood in the first year of Qianfeng did not directly cause too much damage or casualties to the capital. The most severely affected were the poor people in the outer city, not only their homes were destroyed, but also some people were missing.

The flood was not a sudden incident. After all, the heavy rains that had been in recent days were indeed the main cause of the flood. In the face of this natural disaster, the people quickly ignored a very important factor. In order to appease the people, the court immediately sent a disaster relief team, which temporarily stabilized the capital.

When his eyes returned to the imperial city, Emperor Liang threw the letter to the officials and looked at the ministers kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Huazhou City has become a country under this flood attack. Where is the Ministry of Works?"

Yu Chong, the Minister of Works, replied: "Report to the emperor, the trend of Huangshui has always been along the capital and heading towards Duzhou. This is a rule that has been formed since ancient times. The flooding of Huazhou City today has even had an impact on the capital, which is simply unreasonable in terms of natural geographical advantages."

"According to you, this is not a natural disaster but a **?"

"Report to the emperor, this must be like this. Someone deliberately raised the water level and changed the waterway, which caused the river water to flow backwards and cause such a serious disaster."

After Yu Chong's reminder, Emperor Liang finally cooled down his mind and began to understand the possible conspiracy behind this matter.

"The opposite shore of Huazhou is Bingzhou. Bingzhou is now under the control of Xia Tang, and Xia Tang naval commander is stationed outside Bingzhou City. Xia Tang must not be related to this matter." Shen Qianji spoke, and he pointed the finger at Xia Tang naval commander.

"It has not been a day or two since the Tang Dynasty was stationed in Bingzhou. Aren't their every move under the supervision of the Guangyuan Army? If the Tang Dynasty had to make such a huge project, how could the Guangyuan Army not know at all?" Emperor Liang's anger had spread from the Ministry of Works towards the Guangyuan Army. "At this time, Yang Zhong would not even see him!"

In a rage, Dan Tai Wengu stood up and said, "Prince, please calm down. According to the last general investigation, Huazhou was flooded and suffered heavy losses. Guangyuan's army also failed to escape. It has only been half a day since this morning. Please allow me to kill the throne and investigate immediately."

Emperor Liang looked at Dan Tai Wengu and nodded in agreement, "Just do what you said. However, I have a little doubt. Even the capital has suffered from floods. How can you stay outside the city be unscathed?"

Emperor Liang had sufficient reason to doubt it. When he received the information that Huazhou City was flooded, he immediately paid attention to the two armies, which were the last two combat-capable armies that Daliang could currently have. Yang Zhong has disappeared since the flood, but Dan Tai Wengu arrived at the imperial city as soon as possible.

Dan Tai Wengu's heart was thrust for a while. Sure enough, all of this was under the calculations of Dan Tai's villain. He would have been ready for the rest.

"The Mo Jiang had been outside Huazhou City a few days ago. That night, when his subordinates sank the Tang ship, they found something strange outside Bingzhou City. However, the Mo Jiang was not sure, so they asked someone to sneak over to investigate. Unfortunately, the night was hazy and the heavy rain was pouring out and could not see clearly. After returning, I found the trend chart of Huangshui and began to study. The Mo Jiang began to suspect that the Tang people were making trouble."

"You have discovered it?" Emperor Liang began to question.

"Your Majesty, everything is speculated by the General of the General's investigation. After all, the General of the General's guess has no basis, so the General of the General dare not report to the Emperor without authorization. All he can do is to temporarily move the army to a higher place. What the General of the General at that time is that if everything is nothing but worrying, then General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of the General of

Dan Tai Wengu didn't say anything more, and Emperor Liang began to understand what he meant. There was a debate about whom he chose to guard Huazhou. Shen Qianji and Yan Keran both thought that Yang Zhong's Guangyuan army was more suitable, while Cai Quan, Zhang Huaiyuan and others supported the god-killing cavalry. A group of important officials were arguing in the hall, but in the end, Emperor Liang insisted on choosing Yang Zhong against the opposition, because Yang Zhong was older and more calm in his work. After all, he was also a descendant of the general. Even if his previous performance was not amazing, at least it was just a matter of modestness.

If the person he chose was Dan Tai Wengu, would the result be different? Emperor Liang could not help but look at Shen Qianji and Yan Keran when he thought of this. They were really defeated at this moment. What else could they say when facing such a result?

"Emperor, if Huazhou City was handed over to General Dan Tai, this would not be the end of this now." Zhang Huaiyuan had already seen Emperor Liang's doubts and seized the opportunity to advise.

"Things have happened, and nothing can develop according to our assumptions." Shen Qianjike did not intend to sit and wait for death. He said frankly: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to hold the responsibility. The damage to the capital is not serious, but Huazhou is almost completely flooded. Once Huazhou is gone, the capital will be in danger."

"Mr. Shen said very well!" Dan Tai Wengu spoke again. These words were not what Dan Tai's villa Itachi told him, but he would not let it go after seizing this sentence? "The reason why the Tang Navy did not take action was that it was waiting for such an opportunity. Now it is a great opportunity for them to attack. Now the Guangyuan army has suffered heavy losses. The only one who can take on the heavy responsibility of defending the capital is Shenkha Tuqi!"

Cai Yan also stood on the side of Dan Tai Wengu, "Your Majesty, I also agree with General Dan Tai. If the Tang people attack, it is still worth relying on to kill the cavalry."

Cai Quan couldn't help but close his eyes and then opened them again, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is still unknown whether Xia Tang will take this opportunity to attack the capital, but it is also a blessing for Daliang to have a god killing the cavalry to protect the capital. The old minister believes that the most important thing at the moment is to repair the city wall, and then send people to rescue Huazhou City, and try his best to find General Yang Zhong."

Although Cai Yan has long been used to his father sing against him, this time he clearly said nothing wrong, so why didn’t he give himself a chance to show off? Cai Quan was too lazy to pay attention to his son. He gave his son a blank look and continued: "Master, don’t delay the matter. This matter still needs a reliable person to take care of."

"It's still the thoughtful thought of Cai Xiang!" Emperor Liang naturally could not admit that he was at a loss when facing such a serious natural disaster in the first year of ascending the throne. He asked Cai Quan, "Who is Cai Xiang better?"

Cai Quan's eyes rolled, and the candidate in his heart was about to blurt out, but someone actually took the lead. Shen Qianji said, "Your Majesty, I have a candidate!"

Cai Quan's face suddenly became gloomy, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his turbid eyes, although it was fleeting. Shen Qianji ignored Cai Quan's face and said anxiously: "Weichen agrees with Cai Xiang's opinion. It was Cai Xiang who reminded Weichen that Weichen has a person who he thinks is very suitable."

"You talk about it."
