The Yellow River, known as the Great River at this time, is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, and the mother river that has nurtured thousands of years of cultural inheritance. However, the river also has its violent side, compared to the Yangtze River, its flooding is a headache for all rulers, there are ten years and nine floods, now Liu Yi's Sizhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou are in the Yellow River Basin, these three are also Yan County's strategic locations, once the flood of the river to Liu Yi will be extremely huge, will also directly affect his next strategy!

Since Liu Yi took the division, Zhang Hu has begun to govern the Yellow River, which is also a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of every chief official in the Yellow River Basin, Liu Yi also attaches great importance to this, especially after taking Jizhou, but on the Yellow River he has invested tens of thousands of taels of gold and a lot of manpower, fortunately, the predecessor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, is also quite concerned about this, and there have not been too many disasters under the efforts of officials around the country in recent years!

Since July this year, Jizhou Qinghe, Hejian, Bohai three counties are rainstorms, the amount of rain is a hundred years has not been seen, the big river flowing through here is extraordinarily turbulent, its angry dragon is more and more obvious, at this time Yuan Shao and Liu Yi two Jizhou lords in the governance of the Yellow River spent the mind has played an effect, although the rushing river has caused a certain loss but there is no big disaster! However, with the water conservancy engineering technology of the late Han Dynasty, even with Liu Yi's improvement, it is difficult to be thorough everywhere, at this time the danger of Hejian County is extremely prominent, and the height of the river in many sections of the river is only a few feet away from the top of the embankment. The situation is extremely serious!

Tian Yu rushed to Jizhou because of this, and there were more than a dozen people who were proficient in water conservancy in his entourage, maybe Ji Ming was not too professional in river management alone, but when it came to the call and coordination of the people, he was a well-deserved first under Liu Yi! He also came with the entrustment of King Yan, and he could even call the army when necessary, now Tai Shici's Beiping Battalion, Gao Shun's Liaodong Battalion and Gao Lan's Wind Battalion are all within Jizhou, these three battalions are 180,000 horses, plus the original 40,000 people, Liu Yi gave Tian Yu and the people of Jizhou The task is to strictly guard against death, and do everything in their power to ensure that the river will not flood!

If it is the strength of the soldiers, the hundreds of thousands of troops combined by the three battalions of Liaodong, Beiping, and Hurricane can make any prince along the way look sideways, including Cao Cao, their combat power is extremely strong, but the opponent faced by the three battalions this time is not the enemy soldiers, but the water of the boiling river, once the embankment is broken, no matter how many men and horses are obviously unable to resist the power of natural disasters! Tian Yu is well aware of this, and he is very cautious about the use of the three battalion soldiers, all of which are based on their safety, even if things are bad, he must ensure that these elites of the lord will not suffer too much loss, otherwise once an accident happens, I am afraid that King Yan will not be able to bear it, after all, this is a natural disaster!

Tian Yu's deployment ability is impeccable, all the people and horses have been arranged by him in the appropriate position, and under the concerted efforts of everyone, they can also protect the Yellow River embankment, but at this time, everyone does not have any smile on their faces, but is more dignified, because the rain is still continuing, and it seems that there is a stronger trend, which is the most unfavorable factor at present! With years of experience and the opinions of those water conservancy professionals, if such a torrential rain lasts for another four days, no matter how many soldiers and soldiers guarding the Yellow River embankment, they will not be able to prevent the embankment from bursting! Guo Tu and Jian Yong are extremely satisfied with this judgment made by Tian Yu and others, but they are helpless, they can only evacuate the people in advance, and the rest can only depend on God's will!

Today is the third day of Tian Yu's words, the heavy rain in Jizhou still has not weakened, at this time, those water conservancy experts after a few days and nights of hard thinking to Tian Yu put forward a plan, that is, to dig their own embankment to delay the pressure of the rising river water on the embankment, the benefits of this are quite obvious, the first they can selectively find out the area with the least disaster to guide, and the second can also minimize the damage caused by the sudden bursting of the embankment! However, whether it is self-imposed or natural, huge losses are inevitable, and even if the embankment bursts on its own, it may not be able to completely alleviate the danger of other embankments, and accidents are still more likely to occur.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for Tian Yu, the weather conditions at this time can no longer allow him to make any requests to King Yan or the three generals, there is also a time limit for breaking the embankment by himself, and the noon of the fourth day will be the final limit, if they do not act at this time, they can only bear the huge harm that the river may bring by breaking the embankment by itself, and once so, its losses are immeasurable! With such a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Tian Yu is destined to have no sleep tonight!

Ji Ming is definitely not the only one who is also sleepless, Guo Tu, Jian Yong, Zhao Yun and every soldier and man who fought on the embankment are like this, and in the study of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, hundreds of miles away, how can Liu Yi have the heart to sleep peacefully? With the experience of two lives and more than ten years of experience in battle, no matter who the enemy is, Liu Yi has enough confidence to defeat it, and will also think hard about all kinds of wonderful strategies and tactics, but it is obvious that the enemy in front of him is extremely powerful, so strong that it is invincible, and all his tricks and tricks are difficult to implement!

More than half of the two-year strategy has passed today, and its smoothness will exceed Liu Yi's prediction at the meeting in Beiping, according to the estimates of the states, the abundance of the autumn harvest is also roughly expected, once the success of this year, Liu Yi will not hesitate to personally lead the army to launch the strongest offensive in the history of the late Han Dynasty against the old enemy Cao Cao's Yanzhou! Its strategic arrangement had been made even two months ago, and Cao Cao was still confronting Zhang Ren in Brazil at this time, even if he could make a surprise plan to take Yizhou, Liu Yi believed that his two-way method of sending troops was enough to break Yanzhou, and according to the current battle situation, Cao Cao might not be able to rush back to Yanzhou to fight with him before!

It can be said that everything in front of him is staged according to the script in Lang Sheng's mind, as the autumn harvest approaches, Liu Yi's pride and ambition in his heart become more and more intense, recuperating for two years, he has not been in the battle for two years, all this depression will be fully vented in the Yanzhou battlefield, but at this moment, the news that the Yellow River may flood made his mood become very depressed! This is not to say that Liu Yi's concentration is not enough, it is really human nature, just like when you are nervous about prancing horses and holding guns, you suddenly find that the other party is depressed, and the depression that cannot be vented will affect everyone's excitement!

Of course, for Liu Yi, depression is only a momentary emotional manifestation, and then he has to think carefully about this matter, and the first thing to consider is the consequences of the embankment burst, that is, the destruction of thousands of hectares of fertile land and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, which will put a huge burden on the finances of the states, and will also make his two-year strategy have to slow down! Liu Yi is unwilling to do this, and now the three heroes in the south are racing against time to expand their strength while he is recuperating, Cao Cao is advancing to Yizhou, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are about to lay down the Zhou, and Liu Bei is taking Shanyue for his own use and further seeking the land of the South China Sea! If they can do it on time, they can deal a huge blow before their increased strength has been effective, but if it drags on for another year or two? After Sanxiong digests everything well, his progress will add countless difficulties!

If you let Cao Cao make a multiple-choice question at this time, and quickly defeat Zhang Ren and choose between the flooding of the Yellow River, his answer will definitely be both, but if you can only choose one, I am afraid that he will most likely choose the latter, if you can drag Liu Yi for a period of time, the benefits that it can bring him will be immeasurable, and the same is true in the hearts of Liu Xuande and Sun Bofu!

But will Liu Yi make them happy? The answer is obviously no, even if the Yellow River floods this time, it is imperative to send troops to Yanzhou, in his heart, both defeats are better than sitting back and watching Cao Mengde develop strength, and from a military point of view, next year's spring will also be the best time for him to send troops, the three heroes in the south can take advantage of his Liu Yi's recuperation to develop strength, and he can also take advantage of his digestion to firmly grasp the initiative of the war in his own hands!

It is not a joke to say that Cao Cao will choose both, if possible, Liu Yi also hopes that he can do so, but at the height of the decision-maker, he must make specific preparations for the worst-case scenario, and even now he is already looking forward to the fact that even if the Yellow River flooding is unstoppable, the damage caused is as small as possible. This sounds extremely helpless, but it is the preparation he must make now, excessive worry and gains and losses are absolutely useless, it will only waste time, Liu Yi's biggest point is that he can quickly get out of an extremely troubled thing, and calmly weigh it from the perspective of a third party.

At this time, Liu Yi still didn't know the judgment made by those people who were good at water conservancy on the banks of the big river in Jizhou, and in such weather, Tian Yu could not use carrier pigeons to contact Beiping, but some of the surrounding post stations could report the celestial situation in Jizhou to Beiping at any time, where the sun was shining during the day, but it was pouring rain everywhere in Jizhou, which made Liu Yi's nerves difficult to relax at all, and he sat quite sullen in the study, so he simply strode out of the house and came to the courtyard to breathe!

But when he pushed open the door, he saw his wives and concubines sitting in the courtyard, they were all silently looking up to the sky, as if praying for something, Cai Yan and Zhen Mizhen still remembered the drought a few years ago, and never pinned their hopes on things and prayed for God's husband and gentleman, and then God did rain down! It has been two days and two nights since Liu Yi got the report of the heavy rain in Jizhou, and they can also deeply understand the mood of their husbands at the moment, they can not do much for their husbands in this matter, and praying outside the hospital is also a silent support for Liu Yi, even the two concubines of different races are no exception!

In fact, with Liu Yi's sensitivity, he should have been able to detect the actions of the women outside the study a long time ago, but he was too focused on this matter, but in any case, the scene in front of him was extremely warm in his heart, and sometimes the warm family was the best way for men to reduce pressure, Liu Yi didn't say much at this time, but slowly came to the courtyard and stood side by side with Cai Yan, and also looked deeply at the south in the night sky!
