Heroes in the Three Kingdoms - C278
I was able to make some preparations after hearing the soldier’s warning, but the Soldier A was not so lucky.
After the waves crashed down, the waves were still flying and the water was still roaring. I surfaced and shook my head so hard the water splashed around. After a while, I wipe my forehead with my hand to my chin. I don’t have too much water to cover my eyes, so I feel much better. He looked around for Soldier A. At the same time, the water continued to pull at me, trying to pull me away.
Not far in front of me, a hand was holding a basket high up in the air. That hand had endured the water’s torture and still did not move an inch. I was shocked, afraid that Soldier A would have an accident, so I mustered my strength to swim towards him. As I was about to reach out to grab the basket, Soldier A’s hand followed me as I walked away.
I was shocked and immediately reached out with my other hand. Although that hand grabbed onto Soldier A for the time being, the power of the water current that swept Soldier A away was too great, I couldn’t pull him back from the clutches of the Hong Mo Clan. Previously, when I wanted to rush into the water before Soldier A, I tied up a rope around my body to stop me from going further, so I could only watch as Soldier A was quickly swept away by the flood.
“NO!” “No!” I shouted! There were already a dozen soldiers gathered around me, pulling or pulling or carrying me back to shore, and they said to me, “My lord, it’s too late! It can’t save him! ” How could I not understand? Soldier A was unable to show his head, and there was nothing that could stop his body from being swept away by the tornado. But he’s my soldier, and it’s my duty to protect him! Furthermore, if I hadn’t ordered him to go into the water to save them, he wouldn’t have … I’m so sad. All the fifty or so soldiers who had tried to protect me in the water surrounded me, forming a human wall that cut the rushing flood in half!
The soldiers on the shore were working together with the soldiers protecting me. They pulled at the ropes that were tied around my body, allowing me to slowly climb onto the shore. When I reached the shore, I was already powerless. I could only lie on my back in the drizzling rain, feeling extremely depressed. I hated the natural disaster!
The leader pointed at the four soldiers and said, “Protect the lord and leave first!” The four soldiers had no choice but to obey. Just as they were lifting me onto the back of the horse, one of the soldiers shouted to the suddenly unconscious Soldier B: “What’s wrong with you? “What’s wrong?” Not only that, many others also shouted, “Not good! Another brother fainted! ” In just a few moments, seven people had fainted!
The leader of the janissaries sighed as he looked at all this. Because he had been saving the civilians, some of them had been overworked and had fainted. This was something he could do nothing about. They were originally trying to persuade them to rest, but in order to save one more person in this precious time, in order to stop Hong Mo from harming others, they dragged their exhausted bodies and continued fighting in the front line against Hong.
“Achoo!” The leader touched his head. Hot! This was a feeling transmitted from his forehead! He also felt dizzy, his eyelids were heavy, and a strong sense of sleepiness assaulted his heart. His body wanted to rest and have a good night’s sleep, and it would be best if he could take some antipyretic pills. The janissary looked at Hong Mo who was rushing forward unrestrainedly and unrestrainedly. He was strong and unyielding, but he clenched his teeth. He didn’t want to lie down yet, he wanted to continue fighting until he couldn’t move anymore. He unyieldingly dragged his sickly body forward and strode towards his comrades who were fighting with Hong Mo in front of him.
“Ha!” Leaning against the wall, I panted heavily, my eyes blurred. Thinking back to how warriors like Soldier A died to save the victims, I felt extremely sad. Suddenly, the scene from a few years ago when the Jiao Prefecture was affected by the flood appeared in my mind.
A man holds out his hand to another man who is struggling in the water, and the man on the slope moves forward enough to touch the hand of the man in the water only slightly, and the man in the water does not know whether it is from fear or from the rain, or whether it is a mixture of tears and rain, but he cries and begs the man on the slope to save him in any way. The man on the slope tried his best to reach out again, but this time, the water carried him far away. The man on the slope looked at the wailing figure emerging from the water, and his pitiful eyes stared at the man on the slope, begging for help. His hoarse voice was still trying its best to scream: “Help! “Help!” No! “No!” One of the men on the hill was on the ground, while the other one was beating the ground. He was crying bitterly because he could not save the man in the water.
It was too late when I arrived! He could only watch as the body of the person was slowly swallowed up by the flood, bit by bit. In the end, it completely disappeared without a trace. Why did I come so late? Otherwise, I might have been able to save him! He could only silently feel hurt and resentful in his heart.
I thought of that mother who had risked her life to save my son in the water:
“Son!” Mother is here to save you! Son, you have to hold on! No! Don’t hold me back! I’m going to save him! Son! Fast! “Grab mother’s hand!” A weeping mother stretched out her hand and shouted to a child struggling desperately in a flood circle. The people around her held her tight and kept her from jumping into the flood. The mother struggled to free herself from the bondage of others and to jump into the river to save her child, but she could not free herself from the grasp of those around her. The mother could only helplessly stretch out a hand, knowing that her hand could not hold the child struggling in the water.
“Mother!” Save me! ” The little boy who was desperately struggling in the flood was wailing loudly. That mother was crying even harder now, hoarse and begging everyone to let go of her and let her save her child, but everyone clearly knew that letting go of this mother would only sacrifice one more person. Although they knew that she loved her son, reason told them that one more life must not be lost! He couldn’t let go!
The water kept pulling the little boy down, bit by bit, and the little boy was swallowed up by the water. Gradually, gradually, the boy’s head was completely submerged in the flood. His hand was raised weakly, and the boy’s head could still struggle to poke out, but it was swallowed up by the vicious flood. The flood began to pull him further and further away. The boy was getting farther and farther away from his mother, and when the last wave hit him, the boy’s raised hand was out of sight. The boy was nowhere to be seen. The boy’s mother’s eyes glazed over in disbelief, and the poor mother froze. Everyone shook their heads in frustration.
That’s right! A few years ago, the mother who had been so heartbroken by the loss of her child still lingered in my mind, and I felt a pang of sadness at the thought of that mother. Life in this world was too hard. One had to bear all kinds of disasters! Especially for the people in troubled times, not only must they suffer from floods, droughts, diseases and so on, they must also suffer the pain of war and chaos! Sigh!
“Ai!” Chen Zhi sighed and interrupted my thoughts. I asked, “Second brother, what’s wrong?” Chen Zhi frowned and said: “The rain will continue to fall! The flood did not weaken at all. A large part of the crops were submerged in the water. If this carried on, I’m afraid that there would be no harvest in the autumn and the people would be unsettled! Besides, the number of missing or dead brothers in our army during the disaster has reached a hundred! Moreover, a few hundred people had already fallen ill! Sigh! I am afraid that once the flood stops, will Dong Zhuo take the opportunity to attack us? ”
“Crash!” “Crash!” I looked at the constant rain, and knew that the flood would not recede for a while! How many crops can survive in water for a long time? The more serious problem is that after the flood, there are still enemies watching me and they want to swallow me at any moment! The situation was not looking good!
I said to Chen Zhi: “Second brother, send someone to take these treasures to Dong Zhuo’s place to pay tribute to him!” Chen Zhi was shocked: “What? Fourth Brother, are you submitting to Dong Zhuo? This was impossible! You need to be clear that Dong Zhuo is called Chinese bandit! He was scolded as a thief who wanted to become a nation! If we were to be subservient to Dong Zhuo, everyone in the world would definitely think that we are working with Dong Zhuo! The political call that we make to the Han Dynasty will be gone, and Liu Yan’s power in our own country has not completely been assimilated, he will make a big fuss out of not submitting to Dong Zhuo! Liu Yan is not a good master! ”
How could I not understand what Chen Zhi said? I’ve always been the bandit that people want after I’ve always submitted to Dong Zhuo! As a result, the situation had undergone a drastic change! However, my territory was affected by the great flood. This flood was much more severe than it was a few years ago. Hundreds of thousands of people have their homes destroyed and have been displaced. No! “No way!
I made up my mind and said, “Second brother, you can send someone to execute it. Send someone to Yangzhou or the Ba Shu area to buy food! We need to store enough food! ” Chen Zhi frowned and said: “But we might not be able to transfer that much money into our treasury! After all, a year’s worth of war money is also extremely expensive! ” I frowned. The money was a big problem that had puzzled me for a long time.
