In the darkness, the big raindrops were like anger pouring down from the sky, which made people shudder.
"Qin Shaofu, don't move forward anymore, the water here is deep, beware of falling down!"
As soon as the accompanying guard saw Qin Meng walking towards the water, he quickly reminded him loudly.
Suddenly, Qin Meng asked for a lantern from the soldiers around him. I walked to the simple platform built by the ferry and tried a little bit, until I reached the edge of the water. Just stopped.
The sound of rain almost overwhelmed the sound of running water in Liaoshui, Qin Meng knelt down, let the soldiers around him pull the lantern down.
With the faint light, Qin Meng discovered the running water under the stage. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the water flow became more turbulent.
"In normal times, how deep can the water be here?" Qin Meng asked.
The ferry guard took a closer look and said: "Back to Qin Shaofu, the water depth at the edge of the platform can be observed by looking at the submerged column on the edge of the platform. At this time, it should be a foot deeper than usual."
As he spoke, Qin Meng felt that the river on the side of the platform was constantly rising, as if someone was constantly filling the river with water, and the surface of the river was constantly rising.
"Quickly, gather urgently, and retreat 15 miles!" Qin Meng felt that something was not going well, so he made a decisive decision and gave the order.
"This, this... Qin Shaofu. This is a leave of absence without authorization." The Ferry General replied hesitantly.
"What's the matter, you're lame? Didn't you see the river skyrocketing? After a while, I'm afraid all the brothers at the ferry will have to be swept away by the river to feed the fish! Give the order! I have to take care of everything!"
Qin Meng was furious. Seeing that the guard at the ferry was still hesitating, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife from his waist.
"If you don't listen to the order, Ben Shaofu will be dealt with according to the disobedience!"
Wang Wei knew that this Qin Shaofu dared to slash people when he dared to draw a knife, and quickly said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Follow Qin Shaofu's order!"
Only then did the ferry guard hurriedly issue an emergency assembly order.
The soldier blew the horn. In an instant, messy footsteps sounded in the silent Dukou Camp.
After a while, all the soldiers were assembled.
Following the ferry guard's order, all the ferry officers, regardless of everything, withdrew from the camp after fifteen miles.
When everyone got to the designated location, it was already dawn.
In the usual season, this time should be when the sun has not yet come out. It is the time to be able to see everything around clearly.
But today, the sky is extremely gloomy, and with heavy rain, the visual range is less than ten feet, and it is impossible to see the surrounding conditions at all.
But the noise of the water is for everyone to know. The sudden flood caused the Liaoshui to soar. It has broken through the bank and spread to at least ten miles around the river.
When I think about it, I feel scared. If Qin Meng hadn't immediately issued an order to retreat when he observed that the water level was abnormal, the two thousand soldiers at the ferry crossing would really have been swept away by the flood. It has become a meal in the belly of fish and turtles.
Suddenly Wang Wei thought of something terrible, and cried out with tears: "Great handsome, great handsome! His Royal Highness Han is on the North Bank. This, how can this be good!"
Qin Meng gave Wang Wei a blank look: "I know howling at this time? What did you do earlier? Do you know if the commander sneaked into the Liaoshui? Even if you don't know it. If something happens to the commander, you, a personal adviser, It's just as hard to blame!"
Wang Wei was silly all of a sudden, Qin Meng's words were a bit extreme, but there was nothing wrong with it.
As Yang Liang's first adviser, Wang Wei has the responsibility and obligation to remind and restrain Yang Liang's behavior. Now, the flood has soared and the ferry has been destroyed, which is equivalent to isolating Yang Liang from Nan'an.
If Yang Liang did something, Wang Wei couldn't take off the guilt from him.
"Qin Shaofu, there are thousands of mistakes. It is my fault. Please Qin Shaofu must find a way to save His Royal Highness Han." Wang Wei cried and knelt directly to Qin Meng.
"Hurry up and get up for Lao Tzu! The flood is sudden, it is something that no one would have thought of, crying and wiping away tears is an ass! His Royal Highness Hanwang wants to save, our army should also quickly restrain and command! So many troops. Suddenly encountered such extreme weather, if there is a panic, it will not be hundreds, but thousands! If it is really at that point, even if the court does not pursue it, can you pass the conscience test? "
Only then did Wang Wei wake up. At this time, not only did you have to think about Han Wang Yang Liang, but also have to settle down properly when the court conquered so many soldiers.
Qin Meng said solemnly, "Where is the seal of the commander of His Royal Highness Han?"
Wang Wei shuddered when he heard it. It was obvious that Qin Meng asked about this, not casually, but to gain command of the entire army.
Yang Liang gave him the seal of the commander. When necessary, Wang Wei could replace Yang Liang and show the seal to command the army.
If this is to give the seal to Qin Meng, there is no need to figure out what to do if a problem occurs, and to hand the seal to others in private, it would be a serious crime that would not be enough to die hundreds of times.
But without giving Qin Meng's seal letter, Qin Meng could not be able to command the army. (End of this chapter)
