The heavy rain only intensified and became magnificent, obviously preparing to flood the world. In the Dezheng Palace, Emperor Chu stood tall at the door, watching the water level on the palace ground rising, his face extremely gloomy.
Counting the time, the army assembled in Muke Village should have returned, but there is still no news at all. Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang kept silent when they saw Emperor Chu falling into sorrow.
The three of them stared at the violent wind and rain in the void, and were worried about the soldiers of the three armies. At this moment, Wei Wentong, led by Na Yaa, appeared outside the Dezheng Palace.
"Your Majesty, you are back, the army has arrived!"
Wei Wentong's trembling voice sounded, with a look of ecstasy on his face. Emperor Chu heard the sound and was very excited. The army had returned to the city, and his hanging heart could finally drop.
"Just come back. Send an order to Xue Rengui to arrange the army, and order Xiang Yu, Emperor Xin, Bai Qi, and Li Jing to enter the palace to see you!"
"Your Majesty, the army is back. General Zilong has brought back tens of thousands of people. The generals are busy relocating the people."
Wei Wentong explained in words, remembering the scene where the three armies gave up their war horses to the people and they returned on foot, a look of admiration appeared on his cheeks.
"Your Majesty, these people should be from Muke Village. The soldiers of the three armies did not abandon them. The three armies of Wu and Chu are worthy of being benevolent and righteous troops. I believe that Wu Chu will have a good reputation throughout the world in the near future."
"Kong Ming, Zifang, come with me to the city gate to have a look!"
Emperor Chu said that without further delay, he led Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, Na Ya'a, and Wei Wentong to the outside of the palace. They had been traveling back and forth in the heavy rain in the past few days, and all the raincoats were at hand.
When everyone appeared at the gate of the city, Xiang Yu, Bai Qi, Di Xin, Li Yuanba, Li Jing, Wei Qing, and Shi Wansui all had muddy legs and looked very embarrassed.
Seeing Emperor Chu coming in the rain, they all stepped forward and saluted with their fists. After asking, Emperor Chu learned that the way back to the city was slow due to the people. In order to increase the speed of the three armies, the generals gave up their mounts to the people one after another.
.
But even so, the originally three-day journey took six days to complete. Fortunately, all the army and people returned to the city. Emperor Chu asked Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang to go and help resettle the people.
In addition, all the generals were asked to go back to their homes to rest, and then all went to the Dezheng Palace. At this time, Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, and Wu Tianci came forward.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty will decide what to do with the prisoners of the Light Empire who have arrived at the city."
"captive?"
"Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu listened to the order and brought all the prisoners into the city and let them live. In the near future, they will be happy to become prisoners of Chu."
The army returned and brought back the people and prisoners. Although the weather was bad during this battle, it did not affect the victory of the three armies at all.
At dusk, calm gradually returned to peace inside and outside the city. Only the sound of the raging rain was left. In the Dezheng Hall, all the soldiers arrived. They took off their military uniforms, and their spirit was as terrifying as their spirit. The iron-blooded murderous aura in their bodies had long been integrated into their bones.
Inside the Hall of Dezheng.
The lights were bright, and hundreds of generals were sitting at the bottom. At this time, Bai Qi and Xiang Yu told Emperor Chu about the battle at Tianhe Pass. After learning about the battle in detail, Emperor Chu became more and more impressed by Bai Qi's ability to lead the army.
"I am very relieved that all the generals have returned safely. The heavy rain is pouring, the Tianhe River is turbid and the waves are rushing into the sky. Coupled with the continuous heavy rain, there is a danger of the embankment breaching at any time."
"The three armies entered the city safely. The next step is to wait for the heavy rain to stop. At that time, I will reward the three armies, complete the military orders set before marching the army, and defeat the Sky Devouring enemy army. All the money in Taichu City will be used to reward the three armies."
"Your Majesty, after days of fighting, as far as I can see, the people are living in poverty. Coupled with the raging rainstorm, after the torrent passes, the people's lives will be even more difficult."
"Wei Chen proposed that all the money awarded to the three armies should be used to rebuild their homes, so that the people can live a peaceful life as soon as possible."
Li Jing stood up and saluted with his fists. A powerful sound was heard, and then all the soldiers agreed with him. Seeing this, Emperor Chu was extremely happy.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, I have already made plans for rebuilding the people's homes. The three armies need to be rewarded, and the people need to be treated kindly. There is no conflict between these."
"Chang'an, Dongdu, Huxiao, Jiangshan, and Ziwei counties have had good weather in the past two years. Coupled with the vigorous promotion of agriculture by the Academy of Sciences, the commercial operations of the No. 1 Village in the World and the national strength are increasing day by day, and they are not weaker than any first-level empire."
"The officers and soldiers of the three armies and the people must not be treated badly. I want everyone in the world to know how happy it is to be a citizen of the Chu Kingdom."
If you decide to reward the three armies, you must be true to your words and your deeds must bear fruit.
Boom~
Boom~
Suddenly two loud explosions were heard. Emperor Chu looked at the outside of the palace, stood up suddenly and hurried forward. All the ministers rose up and crowded behind him, arriving outside the Dezheng Palace.
at this time.
There was still a weak light outside the temple, but the sky in the distance was covered with clouds, and it was as dark as iron, making it impossible to see even one's fingers. Huge lightning suddenly lit up, shaking the sky and the earth, and was about to blind the eyes of the world.
The thunder rolled in after a few snaps of the fingers. It was slight at first, then gradually became rumbling. When it got closer, it was like rolling rocks, the earth trembled, the sound was everywhere, wood and rocks shattered, rivers and ponds exploded, and the livers and gallbladders of the creatures were about to be broken, and they held their heads in agony.
call.
Hearing the roar of thunder, Emperor Chu felt the ground beneath his feet shaking. He looked solemn and said, "The tide of the Tianhe River has risen, and the torrent has erupted!"
At the moment when the loud noise spread, the tide of the Tianhe River spread, and the flood of bursting embankments swept across the world, like a giant sky-devouring beast raging along the wilderness.
Wherever it passed, huge waves surged into the sky, water columns burst into the air, and ear-splitting rumblings came from the sky and the earth. The waves behind pushed the waves ahead to rush over.
"Your Majesty, the sound of the torrent is shaking the sky, and it is coming fiercely. Will the defense measures outside the city be unable to stop it?"
Zhuge Liang did not expect that the torrent would be so domineering, ferocious beasts, and ruthless. He couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that the flood control measures outside the city would not be able to stop it.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. The torrent is very strong now. If it remains so strong when we come to Meteor Star Mountain, I'm afraid Taichu City will turn into a huge sea."
"Taichu will not be able to survive the disaster, and the surrounding Aurora, War King, and Dragon and Phoenix cities will probably also suffer severe impacts."
Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and his face was as dark as water. At this point, he could only resign himself to fate. If the torrent overflowed through the Meteor Star Mountain without losing its momentum at all, then this heavy rain would be an unprecedented disaster for the Chu State.
at this time.
In the wilderness, the torrent was furious, its thundering roar spread, and the heaven and earth roared in response. The giant trees were broken in half under the impact, and the boulders rolled and collided together. Before the flood came, it took the lead.
In Taichu City, the officers and people of the three armies were immersed in panic. Emperor Chu and the generals felt that the dome of the Jade Tower, which was several feet high behind them, was shaken for a moment. Even the endless mountain peaks behind the palace seemed to be shaking, and the momentum became more and more alarming.
