Chen Deng smiled and tried to persuade him again.

After these words were spoken, Hua Tuo had no excuse left.

After all, if you don't agree, it means you don't want to do good to Chen Deng.

Moral kidnapping, well done!

"In that case, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

Hua Tuo nodded, closed the wooden box, and put it into his bag.

"Thank you, Dr. Hua, for your help this time."

"How about you stay in my house for a while?"

Chen Deng cupped his hands and smiled.

"No, there are so many people suffering in this world, I can't stop for a moment."

"Master Chen, please remember this: do not eat meat again. The worms in your stomach are all caused by eating raw fish and shrimp."

Hua Tuo smiled and waved his hand, and did not forget to remind him before leaving.

"Thank you, Doctor Hua. I'll keep it in mind."

Chen Deng nodded heavily.

"Report!"

"Prefect, this is bad."

"The Gaoyou County Magistrate has reported that a group of pirate ships are sailing south from the upper reaches of the Zhongdu River and will soon reach Guangling."

At this moment, a soldier came hurriedly and reported to Chen Dengbao.

"It seems that Governor Chen still has important matters to attend to."

"I'm leaving now. If you need me in the future, please come to Jiangdu to find me."

"Be careful, don't be greedy and eat raw fish and shrimp anymore."

Hua Tuo realized that there was something important to do, so he immediately left.

"In that case, I won't keep you here any longer, my great doctor. Please proceed slowly and be careful."

Chen Deng nodded and bowed in farewell.

After Hua Tuo left, Chen Deng immediately called the county governor, Sima and other military generals.

"Everyone, the Gaoyou magistrate has reported that a group of bandits are sailing down the river, planning to divert the water and attack Guangling."

"This prefect has only been in office for a few months, and yet something like this has happened. They simply think I am young and weak and can be bullied."

"I have treated you quite well since I took office. Will you help me kill these bandits?"

Chen Deng sat in the first seat and asked the generals in the hall.

"We will do our best to punish the thief for the governor!"

Several military officers hurriedly bowed.

Zhongdu Canal

Dozens of ships were parked in the water, and Jiangdong soldiers were clearing silt and debris in the water.

Fortunately, it is midsummer now, and the water temperature is cool enough to relieve the heat.

But even so, the three elders of Jiangdong were still filled with resentment.

"Damn it! What on earth is the prefect doing? There's so much silt in the canal."

"I'm so angry."

Huang Gai looked at the soldiers working, his face full of anger.

They didn't come this way, and they had never taken this road before.

After all, Xuzhou does not belong to them, and it would be unreasonable to barge in rashly.

But because of the current war, they have no choice but to take this road, but they didn't expect that this road is a bit difficult to travel.

It was smooth when you first entered, but it became more and more difficult as you went further. Some warships and pleasure boats could still pass, but medium and large warships such as yachuan and doujian were difficult to pass.

Fortunately, they did not have a tower ship on this trip, otherwise they would have turned around.

puff-

"Gongfu, instead of complaining, why don't you get in the water and help us clean up the mud and sand."

"It will be dredged soon. The downstream area is close to Guangling, so I believe the silt will not be so congested."

Han Dang came out of the water and threw a cloth bag onto the shore.

"How am I going to get down there? No one's watching me. What if someone comes?"

"It is said that the entire Xuzhou has surrendered to the traitor Dong, so you must be careful."

Huang Gai took a look at the mud and quickly found an excuse.

"Forget it, let's do it quickly."

"Old Huang likes cleanliness and cannot stand mud."

Cheng Pu sighed and said to Han Dang.

They have been cleaning this section of the river for more than a day and will soon be able to clear it to a depth sufficient for ships to pass through.

After all, the flat-bottomed boat does not have a deep draft, so it is not necessary to clear out all the mud and sand in the canal.

Xuzhou is not their territory, so they naturally would not be kind enough to help the enemy clear the canals.

As the sky gradually darkened, the canal was almost cleared.

In the distance, an army of 5,000 men was standing ready for battle.

The young man in the lead was Chen Deng, who rushed over after hearing the news.
