"Your Majesty."

Waiting for Huangfu Song to withdraw from the Deyang Palace, Cao Jie asked.

"Why didn't Your Majesty send Zhonglang General Lu Zhi to lead troops to quell the rebellion? It is true that most of the courtiers recommend the Huangpu general, but in terms of wisdom, Lu Zhonglang will be above the Huangpu general and conquer Xianbei, maybe he is more sure. ”

Cao Jie sees people very accurately, although Lu Zhi's personality is irritable and obedient, but in leading the troops, he is unusually calm.

A few years ago, he quelled the Jiaozhi rebellion and used soldiers like a god, which left an unusually deep impression on Cao Jie.

What's more, Cao Shuo once mentioned that the fight against Xianbei must be matched and won by surprise, from this point of view, Lu Zhi, who is both wise and brave, is more suitable than Huangpu Song behind the gate.

"Well, this one!" Liu Hong, the son of heaven, slowly opened his eyes. "Lu Zhi has come to trouble me several times, and plans to use my money to achieve his military exploits, don't even think about it!"

Dare to be affectionate, the Son of Heaven has already held a grudge against Lu Zhi.

Cao Jie was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect this to be the reason.

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, stood up and added another sentence. "After Huangpu Song is the door, I think he will give Cao Cao some mention! Cao Shuo's little guy 'helped his father's heart' painstaking work, so I helped him and asked Huangpu Song to guide Cao Cao. ”

Call... Cao Jie exhaled, I see.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty was so attentive to Xiao Cao Shuo's "helping his father".

Thinking of this, Cao Jie stroked his forehead and muttered incessantly in his heart.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you are really amazing! In this world, everyone else is fighting for their father, and when they come to you, they dare to fight for their sons. Catch up with Ming'er, if you can't settle the matter, you can shout - my son is Cao Shuo, if you can't keep it, the big thing will be settled. ”

Thinking of this, Cao Jie shook his head and smiled lightly.

……

……

Dunqiu, a prefecture in Puyang City, is not far from Kyoto.

The edict of the Son of Heaven set out from Luoyang to here, three days were enough, but it caught up with the rainy season, and it was not delivered in five days.

Cao Cao's return to Dunqiu coincided with the rainy season in Dunqiu, which was long and full of dangers.

Ten days ago, Cao Cao received a letter from his family, most of which were Cao Song's counts on him, scolding him for stealing family wealth, scolding him for losing all his family property, and accusing him seriously.

Of course, for these, Cao Cao smiled, he didn't come to Dunqiu to make money, just to realize his ideal of becoming "the emperor's assistant, the pillar of the country"!

Ideal? Which doesn't cost money?

But in the letter, there is a sentence mentioned by Cao Shuo - Father should be careful of the rainy season in Dunqiu, and the Yellow River embankment may not be able to resist.

Call...

The embankment of the Yellow River was personally strengthened by Cao Cao three years ago.

However, it was not repaired for three consecutive years, and this year's rainy season was unusually long and violent, and the Yellow River was surging, and suddenly, Cao Cao had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Shuo'er doesn't want to say it in a word!

In ancient times, there was no weather forecast.

The so-called judgment of the weather is mostly to climb the building and look at the atmosphere, at most you can predict the weather within half a day, and you can see the weather changes as far as the eye can see.

It was for this reason that Cao Cao did not dare to be careless, and personally stationed beside the dam all day.

Since Cao Cao's arrival, the people of Dunqiu seem to have the backbone of the heart, and they stand closely behind him one by one, and they are even more obedient to his words.

Cao Cao said that he would garrison the dam, and the people followed suit.

Hundreds of peasants are scattered across the dam in their robes.

If there is any danger, gongs and drums will be beaten, and the others will rush to the site of the embankment as soon as possible to ensure that the thousands of acres of fertile fields in Dunqiu are not flooded.

The rain slipped from the corner of Cao Cao's face, and he remained calm.

In three months, the wheat will be ripe, and the yellow and green colors will spread all over the banks of the Yellow River, which is very beautiful.

These are the hopes of the peasants, and if the Yellow River bursts, the wheat and fields will be washed away, and the peasants will have to go bankrupt and their families will be ruined.

The rain was like a thread, ticking on Cao Cao's face and clothes.

"Alas, the heavens are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and the saints are unkind, and the people are dogs! I, Cao Cao, am not a saint, but I am the chief of Dunqiu..."

In the past few years, I have read a lot of books, and Cao Cao likes to chant a few words of sage teachings at every turn...

This time, Cao Cao chanted Lao Tzu's words.

But just when he thought of this, suddenly the gong sounded in his ears, "Not good! Cao Cao groaned, "Is the embankment broken?" He frowned, raised his cold legs, and hurriedly ran towards the sound of the gong.

At this moment, the water of the Yellow River was rushing towards the breach, and the straw bags filled with soil that Cao Cao had prepared early in the morning were pushed into the breach, but the water was too turbulent and was washed away in an instant... The situation is not optimistic, and even indispensable!

Call...

Cao Cao exhaled, what should I do?

The rain pouring down from the sky was extremely cold, Cao Cao only felt cold all over, and his teeth chattered, but what was colder than his body was his heart, which was related to the lives of thousands of people!

Around, the peasants' eyes showed worry and despair, this is their harvest for a year, is it going to be wasted by this flood?

Call...

Another shout, Cao Cao seemed to have made some decision.

I saw his footsteps move, and he jumped into the river first.

At this point, all the peasants were shocked.

"Meng De..."Xiahou Yuan beside him sensed that something was wrong, but Cao Cao was too fast, and when he reacted, Cao Cao was already half of his body in the water.

At the same time, Cao Cao's shouting could be heard. "Quick, arms linked, jump into the water!"

At this time, the peasants understood what the "hidden master" was doing, which was to erect a human wall and stop the ravages of the flood with solid arms!

Xiahou Yuan was the first to jump down, he was burly, he tried hard to stand firm, and held Cao Cao, who was already a little crumbling.

The water is getting faster and faster, the soil is collapsing, and every time Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan feel that they are about to be swept away by the flood, there will always be a pair of strong hands to push him up...

One farmer after another jumped into the water and blocked the breach of the embankment...

One person's strength may be limited, but the big guys join hands and connect hearts, and this power cannot be shaken even if it is a flood beast.

"Quick, throw it at me!"

Cao Cao shouted hoarsely.

Because Cao Shuo's letter had already predicted ten days ago, Cao Cao and the people of Dunqiu had made sufficient preparations early in the morning, and in an instant, countless straw bags filled with soil were thrown to Cao Cao's side and built on the upper reaches of the human wall.

After more than two hours of fighting, the rolling Yellow River finally admits defeat, pours back to its original channel, and flows eastward...

The break is finally blocked!

Cao Cao, who withdrew from the breach, was covered in mud and water, and sat on the ground extremely weakly, leaning on each other with Xiahou Yuan, who was also tired.

In the end, Cao Cao did not forget to continue to command. "Reinforcement of the embankment."

Call... Call...

With a long pant, he looked at the thousands of acres of fertile land behind him unharmed.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth opened, "Haha"... Laughing out loud with relief, because of Shuo'er's reminder, the most adequate preparations have been made for flood relief and rescue, and it seems that the people of Dunqiu will have a bumper harvest this year.
