"Zhan Zixing, the special envoy of the Northern Territory, has made great contributions in the investigation of the gold mine case and the reconstruction of the Northern Territory after the disaster. He is both virtuous and talented, brave and resourceful. He is the first number one scholar appointed by our dynasty. From now on, Zhan Zixing is appointed as the first-rank prime minister to support the country, seek eternal stability for the country, and seek the well-being of the people. I hope you can always keep your original intention in mind and persevere."
A year ago, Zhan Xingxing was an abandoned child of his family who was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat.
A year later, he was in the government and became a prime minister.
Such a huge surprise made Zhan Zixing dizzy.
But he was sensible enough not to show it and just lowered his head heavily.
"I, your humble servant, thank you for your kindness. In the future, I will stay in my position, fulfill my duties, benefit the people, support the country, protect the country with my life, and support the people with my blood. I will not let down the grace of heaven and will work until my death."
His sonorous answer, every word, fell heavily on the ears of Xiao Yuqi and the court officials.
Xiao Yuqi looked at the people in the court with satisfaction. After six years in office, he finally realized half of his wish.
Peace and tranquility are just around the corner.
It was recorded in the later "Records of the Grand Historian".
...
...
In the spring of the sixth year of Yuanhui, Emperor Zunsu purged corrupt officials with lightning speed and confined the Regent in the Regent's Palace for a whole year. On the 18th of the first lunar month, Emperor Zunsu received news of the danger at Liaoyuan Pass. On the 19th of the first lunar month, he led reinforcements, money and food, and set out in person to Liaoyuan Pass to provide disaster relief, stabilize the country, and reassure the people. It was a blessing for the people to have such a wise monarch!
At the same time, inside Liaoyuan Pass, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the earth dragon turned over.
Dai Ang received Xiao Yuqi's secret letter in advance, and after secret discussions with Tao Zhou, he made sufficient preparations in advance.
The spies in the camp have surfaced after Dion deliberately lost several battles in a row.
Taozhou is full of tricks.
He suggested that the spy be 'given an important task'.
Let him lead his army as the vanguard and launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp at midnight on the 14th day of the first lunar month. Behind them, capable generals will be sent to set traps at the border between Beihu and Liaoyuan Pass.
The spy's mission was to lure the Northern Hu army into a trap and then be annihilated by them in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is just a set of strategic rhetoric targeting spies.
Their real plan was that they used the wooden ox and flowing horse to create the illusion of a trap, and then had spies bring the Northern Hu army and surround the trap. When they attempted to annihilate them in one fell swoop, they discovered that they had fallen into a trap, and it was too late to retreat.
At that time, the earth dragon turned over, and the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart.
Dion and others had already led the soldiers to retreat beyond the safe boundary.
The people had already been secretly resettled by them.
For this grand plan, Husile will definitely send a large number of cavalry to encircle and suppress their commander, Dion, who is also known as the God of War of Liaoyuan Pass.
Deion had caused Beihu to suffer so many losses, and Husile was more eager than anyone else to take Deion's head.
They took advantage of natural disasters and, without harming any of their own soldiers, wiped out the enemy troops and spies in one fell swoop, causing great damage to the Northern Hu.
It’s really wonderful.
However, the power of this earth dragon's reversal was greater than they had imagined.
Liaoyuan Pass, where it seldom rained, was hit by a torrential rain that lasted for several days.
All the border counties and towns adjacent to Liaoyuan Pass were affected, with houses collapsed, heavy rains continuing, and people displaced.
They only had one night to retreat, and they thought it was enough, but they underestimated the power of this field dragon's turn.
The ground cracked and the lake water backflowed.
The river that originally nourished this land suddenly turned into a deadly weapon.
The rain was pouring down and the water was raging.
As the third largest river in Tianyu, Yunjiang River nourishes dozens of cities to the north of Tianyu.
The river embankment broke and the river water flowed back.
Dozens of cities along the Yunjiang River, those with low terrain, have long since turned into a vast ocean.
These unexpected situations caught everyone off guard.
The sweet potatoes and potatoes that the Minister of Agriculture carefully cultivated played a key role at this time.
But it is far from enough.
They rode at full speed, sending three letters a day over eight hundred miles to reach Xiao Yuqi.
The team led by Xiao Yuqi traveled day and night, but distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. If they had to wait until the army's supplies arrived, who knows how many people would have starved to death?
Therefore, Xiao Yuqi decided to hurry up and reach the disaster-stricken area, Zhu County, first.
If he rode faster, he could arrive in about three days.
Su Jianyue coordinated her vacation with the director early on.
After filming day and night for several days, she finally had three days free, enough for her to return to Yuncheng.
Gu Qingze had already delivered what she needed to her home in advance.
Su Jianyue calculated the time and waited for Xiao Yuqi to arrive in the bedroom.
Xiao Yuqi traveled a long way and finally arrived in Zhu County on the evening of the 22nd day of the first lunar month.
The people's houses were flooded and the heavy rain had not stopped. Tens of thousands of people could only huddle together and squeeze on high ground.
They curled up and shivered. Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, they built a simple shed that could barely shelter them from the rain but could not withstand the cold wind.
Occasionally there are aftershocks, and everyone is on high alert, fearing that they will be swept into the abyss of the huge waves and never be able to get up again.
It seemed as if heaven had opened a huge crack here.
Fiercely wanting to tear and devour everything in the world.
Xiao Yuqi was wearing casual clothes, and no one here could recognize his identity.
He felt heartbroken as he looked at the people wailing and grieving all over the mountains.
In the face of natural disasters, humans always seem particularly insignificant.
Once again, the earth shook.
Xiao Yuqi shouted, "Get down!"
Everyone lay down in response. After feeling dizzy, when they stood up again, they all felt something was unreal.
Xiao Yuqi would rather believe that everything before his eyes was just a dream.
What he was thinking about was that thousands of acres of fertile farmland were flooded. What would these people rely on for survival next year?
"How can we live like this?"
"Wuwuwu, Daddy, why can't you pull mother out of the water? Will I no longer have a mother in the future? Wuwuwu..."
"Dad, how could you bear to abandon me?"
Sadness is extremely contagious.
"Wow, wow, wow, my money, I had so much money, it's all gone, all gone!"
"My child, he was still so young, I could only watch him sink into the crack in the ground... wuwuwu, my poor child!"
This sad story has come to thousands of households.
Just a few days ago, they were still filled with joy at the upcoming Lantern Festival.
Overnight, they were forced to endure the separation of life and death.
No one can accept this.
Xiao Yuqi's body was covered in mud.
He was walking in the crowd, and with his height advantage and excellent eyesight, he could see from afar a group of soldiers gathered not far away.
Judging from their attire, they should be the Dingbei Army led by Dai Ang.
