Cao Cao is not a fool, the trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, barren land, a large number of corpses piled up, there are too many starving ghosts, and the climate is very bad, it is not a place for people to stay at all, the atmosphere there is grim, and, because it is in the famine stage, the crops are dry, the people are not living, and the bones of the dead are abandoned on the spot, resulting in the air is probably stench.

The air is so dirty, the climate is so changeable, full of serious challenges, Cao Mengde is not a fool, no wonder everyone is reluctant to go, occasional wind and sand weather, wind and sand are raging, there is no green belt, overnight, the mighty wind and sand can flood a city.

The most important thing is that the climate here is really harsh! No wonder in the court, he was the only one who stood up, they kept frowning, sighing, and evading, no one dared to take the initiative to ask for help like themselves, no wonder they were so scared, it turned out that the conditions were so bad, no wonder they all pushed back.

He understands now, if he had known that the conditions were so bad, he Cao Cao would not have been willing to come!

Those people in the court encountered major events, and they ran faster than rabbits!

When Cao Cao arrived here, he finally knew how bad the conditions were, he thought it was a fragrant dumpling, but he didn't expect it to be a hot potato, and he refused to come.

At this moment, I finally understand those people.

Moreover, the famine is well deserved, and in the middle of the court, I don't know that the people are so miserable, and some people eat the corpses of the dead.

Yes, in the court, there is indeed a person like Cao Mengde who took the initiative to ask for help, but this person has a murderous face, this person is Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, but there is a little bit of distress.

Lu Bu is extremely vicious, if he really lets Lu Bu come to relieve the disaster and release grain, I am afraid that his murderous appearance will frighten the people.

Cao Mengde hung up the seal and set off towards Jiangsu!

He didn't dare to stay at all, after all, he was now reborn attached to Yundong Mountain, even if the real Cao Mengde saw the misery of the people's lives, he would not sit idly by.

"Where are the people left and right?"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

On this trip, Cao Mengde was not riding a horse, but a carriage.

Cao Cao sat in the carriage and said in a high-pitched voice.

Because he had to escort 10,000 taels of gold to serve as a messenger on this trip, he naturally brought a lot of armor soldiers, otherwise how to ensure the existence of 10,000 taels of gold and escort the soldiers, as many as 500 people.

This gold cannot be lost, and it is not necessary to be careless about the fire and water of all people.

The attendants outside the carriage heard the Prime Minister's question, and did not dare to slack off and said: "Tell the Prime Minister, the subordinates are here!" ”

Inside the carriage, there was a sound of um, and Cao Mengde said, "What boundary has you reached here?" Along the way, are there boundary markers that show where this is? ”

"Tell Xiangye, this place is called Maoziling, not far from Shandong, it is rumored that bandits here often go down the mountain to rob houses, we should leave quickly!"

Hearing this, Cao Mengde was taken aback: "Pay attention to safety, increase vigilance, strictly prevent someone from robbing official food, order the elite soldiers to protect the gold and silver, if there is negligence, behead!" ”

With that, he lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage.

Soon, he heard the delivery of the order, "Xiangye has an order, and those who are negligent will be killed!" Take care of the official food, gold and silver, and leave Maoziling quickly! ”

Cao Mengde, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled with satisfaction, having power is different, and he walks with the wind and looks majestic, this is the treatment of the superior.

Hearing his order, everyone did not dare to slack off, and the originally loose spirit suddenly became nervous, and left Maoziling quickly.

Yun Dongshan is very worried, if Mao Ziling really kills the bandits, these disaster relief materials may be lost as a result!

Fortunately, it was safe along the way.

I came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang overnight, and it was already five days later.

Cao Cao's first stop was to go to the most serious place of the disaster, where he kept 10,000 taels of gold properly and transported the grain into the granary.

Then, disguised himself and entered the city to inquire about the disaster, Liu Long instructed him before he left that the gold must not be used indiscriminately, let alone into the hands of corrupt officials.

He quickly inquired about some places, which were the worst affected areas, so he had a goal in mind.

——

Huiji County, Dashan Town.

Hearing that the Qin Cha appointed by the Holy Lord came here, the county magistrate here began to prepare very early, and the Qin Cha sent by the Holy Lord was a very famous person, only the soldiers who welcomed him in the middle of the road, and did not see the common people.

Because the disaster here is very serious, many people have migrated in order to flee, escape the famine, and survive in order to survive, and when Cao Mengde came here, it almost became an empty city.

When the county magistrate of this city saw the retinue of the minister coming, he immediately knelt on the bluestone slab.

"I don't know which one it is, please come out and see it."

Yun Dongshan opened the curtain of the sedan chair and said with a faint smile: "I am the prime minister, my name is Cao Mengde, who is Your Excellency, but the parents here?" ”

The county magistrate replied: "It turned out to be Prime Minister Cao Cheng, the subordinate official was guilty of crimes, my name is Chen Xiu, and I am the county official here." ”

Yundong Mountain got off the sedan chair and took care of his clothes, but he couldn't see the people in the city.

Yun Dongshan was puzzled: "Lord Chen, why is this?" Where are the people of the city? Is it too late? People are dead? ”

The official named Chen Xiu smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from the Prime Minister, the disaster here is the most serious, some people don't have enough to eat, the wild rats that eat are full of ridicule, the people are not happy, most of the residents have left the country, so the city is empty." ”

Yun Dongshan sighed: "I didn't expect the famine to be so serious. ”

Chen Xiu saw that Yun Dongshan seemed to be a little sleepy, and said to a general beside him: "Zhang He, the minister of the Qin Mission, hurry up and vacate a room in the county government and let Lord Cao rest for one night." ”

Hearing this, Yun Dongshan nodded, which was regarded as an answer.

Seeing that it was not early, Cao Cao naturally lived in Chen Xiu's mansion.

Cao Cao slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard a burst of shouts and killings, and he was vigilant in his heart, and sat up suddenly.

Instinctively draw the sword, and rush out.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw Chen Xiu fighting with a gang of gangsters.

When Yun Dongshan has seen such a scene, his instinctive reaction is to run for his life!

The gang of gangsters shouted: "Quickly kill this government official, the person who escaped for his life is Cao Mengde, kill him, behead others, and we can go to Liu Bei to ask for merit and receive a reward!" ”

Sure enough, the temptation of the power of money was huge, and these people quickly rushed over, and the officials of the prefecture also bravely sacrificed their lives in order to drag these bandits.

These outlaws were assigned by Liu Bei, the Duke of Xuande, to assassinate Cao Mengde.

Her subordinate Zhang Tai was sent by her to Dashan Town to inspect the people's situation.

Without Zhang Tai's obstruction, these outlaws would not be merciful when they killed.

quickly found the room where Cao Mengde was, and suddenly, the government official Chen Xiu led people out to protect Cao Mengde's safety.
