The time has just entered May of the ninth year of Jian'an, but the continuous rain has been lingering for more than ten days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Prime Minister!"

Cao De was in the study, looking at the water droplets that kept falling from under the eaves, and couldn't help but lose his mind! And a sound of footsteps disturbed Cao De's mood of appreciating the rain,

"What's wrong?" Cao De turned around, and Lu Gu, who had already served as Cao Cao's work, came to Cao De in a panic.

"Prime Minister! Due to the heavy rain for several days, the water volume of many rivers in Hanzhong has increased day by day, and the river water is the most! As it has been, I'm afraid ......"

Although Lu Gu didn't say the rest of the words, Cao De had already understood.

Floods?

This year's rainy season is not only earlier than in previous years, but also more violent.

Flood, the most profound flood in Cao De's memory is not in this life, but the Yangtze River flood in the previous life. In this life, although there was a threat of flooding, it was also dangerous. And now it seems that this year's rain may be the most dangerous in recent years!

The biggest difference between Cao De's life and the original history is these natural disasters. According to Cao De's memory, the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were the gathering period of natural and man-made disasters, and later, after several years of drought, flood and plague, there was a tragic image of "ten rooms and nine emptiness, and white bones exposed in the wild".

And since Cao De came here, the most memorable natural disaster is probably also the time of the battle under the city of Jibei.

If the Yellow River north of Jibei City was not in danger of bursting its embankment at that time, Cao De would not have divided his troops, and the Yellow Turban Army in Jibei City would not have had the opportunity to directly attack Cao Deben Town.

And on this issue, the first person to report to Lu Gu was naturally Jia Xu. It's just that when Jia Xu thought about it, he basically ignored it. There is a lot of water in our upstream, and when it comes to the formation of harm, it has basically reached the junction of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's territory, so how to control the water should not be a problem for us to consider.

To sum up what Jia Xu means, if it is drowned, it will be drowned, anyway, it is not the territory of our Han China that is flooded.

After Lu Gu got this answer from Jia Xu, he was unwilling to go to Cao De.

Cao De can only say that he finally knew a little bit about water control when he watched TV in his previous life, and when he looked up some literature, Cao De saw Jia Rang's recital in the Western Han Dynasty.

Jia Rang said that there are three most effective ways to control water. It is divided into three strategies, the upper policy is artificial diversion, the middle policy is diversion, and the lower policy is to build embankments.

Judging from Cao De's current situation, the river with the largest amount of water is undoubtedly the Yellow River, and it is the Yellow River that is the most dangerous. This is not possible if you want to make a manual diversion. First of all, there is simply not enough time, and now that the rainy season has begun, we have begun to dig the necessary channels for the Yellow River. I am afraid that when the river is completed, the water of the Yellow River will also flood the Central Plains. Moreover, don't forget that Cao De's Hanzhong is in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Cao De has changed the course here, what do you want Cao Cao and Liu Bei to do downstream? So. Artificial diversions are unrealistic.

As for diversion, yes. Divert water from the Yellow River to other rivers, thereby reducing the pressure on the dikes on both sides of the Yellow River. It's just that Cao De's Han China is located in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, where there are mountains and forests, and the diversion is also a very big project. Moreover, even if the Yellow River burst, the impact on Cao De is negligible.

As for embankment? Anyway, whether there is a flood or not has no effect on our Hanzhong, is it necessary to spend that unjust money? And, more importantly, it depends on the meaning of Luoyang Cao Gong. No matter what we do here, if Cao Gong is willing, we will do it for nothing.

Jia Xu's reason for giving Cao De was such righteous words, which made Cao De speechless for a while.

At the same time, in the Wei Palace, Cao Cao, Xun You and Cheng Yu were also discussing this matter.

"King Wei! In recent days, the river has been flooding. I'm afraid that the Central Plains will not be spared! Xun You clenched his fists and said to Cao Cao.

Although the amount of water in the Yellow River is not very large now. But at this rate, it's only a matter of time before the levees burst. Don't forget, this is just the beginning of the rainy season!

"King Wei!" Cheng Yu took a step forward, "King Wei, my subordinates have checked the file, even if the river breaks out, it will not have a big impact on the prime minister, but Qingzhou and other places downstream of the river are the most serious!" ”

Yes, Cao Cao's Luoyang is in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The water flowed to a low place, even if the embankment was in Cao Cao's territory, the water was still going to Liu Bei's side. The most unlucky is just Liu Bei!

"King Wei! The subordinates suggested that only the two banks of the river in the territory of the division should be raised to ensure that our company is unharmed. As for Yanzhou, the king of Wei should immediately prepare for the diversion. ”

Don't forget, Cao Cao also has a piece of land in Yanzhou. The border between Yanzhou and Jizhou is the Yellow River! And the Yellow River in Yanzhou is also the beginning of the downstream!

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded, "Water is impermanent, and if it explodes, it will be dangerous!" Zhongde, this matter is entrusted to you to supervise, and you must minimize the loss! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yu agreed.

"Zhongde, there is one more thing to pay attention to! Pay close attention to the opportunity of Yanzhou's crops to mature, and once the river is in danger, immediately rush to harvest"

This year, after all, there is still a big war to be fought. And if you want to fight, you need food. How can you fight without food? Why did Cao Cao set to go on the expedition after the autumn of this year, just to wait for this year's grain to mature. However, now that the Yellow River has the possibility of bursting, what will happen to the grain in the fields?

"King Wei!" Just as Xun Yu was about to retire, Cheng Yu suddenly shouted Cao Cao again.

"What else is going on with Zhongde?" Cao Cao has also been upset by the heavy rain for several days.

"The subordinates have a plan, but they don't need to spend a single soldier to break Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao was stunned and Xun You was also stunned for a moment, but soon Cao Cao and Xun You also understood!

"Zhong De said, water attack?" Cao Cao said tentatively.

"It's the water attack! The king of Wei only needed to build a few more barrages at the Yanzhou River. When the time comes, with just a light knife, Liu Bei's soldiers will not be a joke! Cheng Yu said with a treacherous face.

"King Wei can't!" Suddenly, Xun You stood up and said loudly.

"King Wei can't! The water attack, not to mention Qingzhou, even my Yanzhou will become an ocean. Moreover, tens of millions of people in the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yan and Hebei will be displaced. Xun You said excitedly.

"Although Qingxu Erzhou belongs to Liu Bei, it is also my Han people! King Wei! Water attack is absolutely unacceptable! If the King of Wei is attacked with water, even if Liu Bei is broken to dominate the world, the King of Wei will be a sinner of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Presumptuous!" Cheng Yu shouted, Xun You actually said that Cao Cao was a sinner of the Han Dynasty, and this was going to be killed! Although we are colleagues and friends, how can we say that about King Wei?

"It's okay!" Cao Cao raised his hand! "The water attack is really unacceptable! The river is unusual, and not to be underestimated. Qingxu Yanji, let alone one city and one pool. The matter of the water attack should not be mentioned again. ”

"King Shengming of Wei!" When Xun You heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. And Cheng Yu on the side naturally felt sorry. It's just that what Xun You and Cheng Yu don't know is that Cao Cao still said in his heart, I actually want to attack with water!
