Hua Chaoshi sneered again: "Master Governor, don't forget Dong Cheng! You also said before that you must take advantage of this natural disaster to completely eradicate Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng has already begun to contact the test

It’s all about class, we can’t keep it!”

Fang Tang pursed his lips and said coldly: "So, Master Hua, what do you mean?"

Hua Chaoshi sneered and said: "Master Governor, originally we planned to use the disaster relief food and other supplies to plot against Dong Cheng step by step. However, Dong Cheng actually borrowed the connections from Poyang Prince's Palace to defeat our plot in one fell swoop."

An old fox-like smile appeared on Hua Chaoshi's face, like a steel plate with circles of ripples on it, very stiff and ugly: "Since we can't get rid of Dong Cheng with the help of natural disasters, then why don't we use the help of this plague?

What's the power? At the same time, it can also eradicate the remaining power of Poyang Palace in one fell swoop... Lord Governor, isn't this wonderful!"

The word "chuan" on Fangtang's brow has not disappeared, and even its ravines are getting deeper and deeper, and a pair of eyes keep turning.

Hua Chaoshi added: "Your Majesty, according to the lower officials, Dong Cheng should have no problem dealing with the flood after getting the one hundred thousand shi of grain. But the next plague...Dong Cheng will definitely be in a hurry, and he will not be able to deal with it.

, if we have made preparations early, I am afraid that the only ones who can survive then will be us!"

"Oh, what should I say?" Fang Tang asked.

Hua Chaoshi: "Lord Governor, the first thing is the problem of food. Although Dong Cheng found a lot of 100,000 shi of grain, there are more people waiting to eat this batch of food. The 100,000 shi of grain will definitely not last long.

Because a very tragic plague is about to break out later. Secondly, there is the problem of medicinal materials. To prevent and treat the plague, Dong Cheng must use a large amount of medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials on the market in Jiangzhou are filled with many fake medicines..."

Wan Qian listened for a long time and suddenly said: "In other words, if this plague breaks out, not even one of the people in Jiangzhou will survive!"

Hua Chaoshi praised: "Not bad!" Then he looked at Fangtang: "Master Governor, this plague is a sharp blade. Why don't we use its sharp edge to capture Dong Cheng and Poyang Palace in one fell swoop, and eliminate future troubles forever?

?!"

Wan Qian also echoed: "Master Governor, this is an excellent opportunity. If we miss it, we will die once this natural disaster is over!"

Fang Tang turned his back and thought in his heart: "If I invest all the resources in my hands to prevent the plague, it is possible to succeed. But the possibility of failure is also high, and everyone will die together. But if according to Hua Chao Shihe

If Wan Qian's suggestion is followed, my chance of survival will be greatly increased. At the same time, Dong Cheng will deprive me of resources, which will make it even more difficult to prevent the plague. By then, the people of Jiangzhou will be devastated... but at the same time, Dong Cheng and his family will be eliminated.

These two hidden dangers in Poyang Prince’s Mansion…”

Fangtang hesitated for a long time, thinking over and over again, but could not make up his mind.

Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian stared closely at Fangtang.

"Lord Governor, the plague has broken out now. It will only take three or two days to spread to Jiangzhou City. We need to prepare early. It is best to start preparations from tonight." Hua Chaoshi urged.

Fangtang was extremely surprised: "What, have you been preparing since tonight? Is it so urgent?"

Hua Chaoshi: "Yes, sir, time is running out, we must race against time!"

Fangtang thought for a while and suddenly asked: "By the way, is it possible to sail on the Yangtze River?"

Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian looked at each other, and Wan Qian finally replied: "Master Governor, the water level of the Yangtze River has begun to rise, and the river is choppy, making it impossible to sail!"

Fang Tang sighed softly and closed his eyes tightly.

In the anticipation of Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian, Fang Tang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sharp and cold. He looked directly at Hua Chaoshi and Wan Qian and ordered: "Okay, let's start preparations from now on!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

…

…

The next day.

The heavy rain continues.

The planned surge in water levels in the Yangtze River begins today!

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan personally went to the bank of the river embankment to supervise and encourage the morale of the troops.

Dong Cheng took Zhu Xiuyuan and walked along the river embankment. After carefully inspecting the entire embankment construction work, he suddenly said to the "River Embankment Judge": "I see that among the busy people here, there are state soldiers, three squads of government officials, and some

We have recruited civilians and young men from the victims. But with so many people working together to build embankments, the speed cannot keep up with the rising water level. You need to think of ways to recruit more people."

"River Judge" is an official position in charge of floods in rivers and lakes. Although the position is small, it has great responsibilities.

When the Hedi judge heard Dong Cheng's words, he immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I understand that I really can't find more manpower. I wonder if your Majesty has any good ideas..."

Dong Cheng sighed softly. For this disaster relief, he could mobilize all the government officials and soldiers in the entire state government. Even the Minzhuang, government officials, and police officers of Xunyang County government were also mobilized by Dong Cheng.

In addition, there are civilian husbands recruited from among the people, young men recruited from disaster victims, etc.

There may seem to be a lot of people, but in the face of this heavy rain and flood, no amount of people is enough.

Judge Hedi asked for help, but Dong Cheng was unable to do anything for a while.

Where can he find someone?

Yesterday, the female relatives of Lijiacun were gearing up, but... the female relatives were really not suitable, and Dong Cheng's right and wrong were not considered at the moment of life and death.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law has another idea." Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly interrupted.

Dong Cheng and the Hedi judge stared at Zhu Xiuyuan at the same time. Dong Cheng asked: "Xianxiang, what can you do?"

Zhu Xiuyuan: "Perhaps we can ask Poyang Prince's Mansion for help and support some manpower."

Dong Cheng twirled his goat's beard and said: "The method is indeed a good one, but... now King Poyang is out with his troops, and there are not many people in Prince Poyang's palace. I don't know if the palace is willing to lend a helping hand."

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law wants to visit Poyang Prince's Mansion in person."

"That's fine." Dong Cheng nodded, and suddenly looked at Yan Dashan behind Zhu Xiuyuan, and said: "Yan Dashan, you go with the good son-in-law, and pay attention to the safety of the good son-in-law."

Yan Dashan solemnly raised his hand: "Yes, sir!"

Although Yan Dashan is usually taciturn and has a very low sense of presence, but because he is Zhu Xiuyuan's long-term attendant and bodyguard, he is tall and strong, as strong as a calf, and his eyes are as bright as a torch... It is difficult for people to completely forget him.

.

No, when Dong Cheng thought of Zhu Xiuyuan's safety issue, he immediately wanted to beat Yan Dashan.

Zhu Xiuyuan said goodbye to Dong Cheng, and he and Yan Dashan packed up and headed east directly with a group of state soldiers.
