Li Ce was anxiously thinking about how to excuse himself, when a rush of footsteps came, "Report!" A herald came panting and darling.

"My lord, the flood in Yizhou has been clearly investigated." The herald soldier wiped his sweat and said urgently.

"Speak!"

"The flood here is caused by heavy rain, the river embankment bursts, flooding a large number of farmland, and the people are ......" The soldier who gave the order hesitated a little, raised his head and looked at Chen Yaozuo carefully.

"Speak!" Chen Yaozuo frowned.

"Yes! According to preliminary estimates, more than 30,000 people have been killed or wounded......"

"Bang!" Chen Yaozuo yelled: "What?! 30,000 casualties?! ”

"Your Excellency...... This is the number of Yizhou County Order, according to the investigation of subordinates, I am afraid that ...... But that's not all. The soldier replied stiffly.

Chen Yaozuo stood there as if he had been immobilized by a spell, and after a long time, he sat down and said in a deep voice: "How much, let's talk." ”

"There are corpses everywhere, children and old people are miserable, not to mention 50,000...... And there are still many people missing, and I am afraid that it is also unlucky......"

According to his experience, the casualties were so heavy at the beginning of the flood that I am afraid that the number will have to be doubled after a while. Li Ce didn't think the flooding of the Yellow River was a big deal at first, he used to study history, and often saw text descriptions such as the flooding and diversion of the Yellow River, but today he listened to the soldier's report on the spot, especially when he heard the number "corpses everywhere, 50,000, he was even more shocked, more than 50,000 lives, and they were gone in an instant, which brought him a little unacceptable, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he thought of his own selfish thoughts.

"Come on, pass the order, and the owners of the chambers will come to discuss the matter quickly!" Chen Yaozuo quickly calmed down, the most important thing at the moment is disaster relief, time is life, and one more delay will cause more casualties.

After a while, the generals of the various armies came one after another. Li Ce stood behind Chen Yaozuo and looked at himself secretly, there were four people who came, Guan Yiqi was also among them, and He Jian Jun.

After all the lords arrived, Chen Yaozuo began to speak, "I urgently summoned you to come today, I think you have heard that the Yellow River in Yizhou has burst, and now it is flooding, and the people are in dire straits in urgent need of rescue. ”

Several commanders listened to it and looked at each other, is the flood in Yizhou so serious? Actually have to send most of the troops to the disaster relief? What if the Liao people come to knock on the customs?

Sure enough, there were soon generals who objected.

"My lord, my subordinates think that our primary task is to guard the border passes, and disaster relief is not within our responsibility." The name of the speaker is Sun Zhi, and he is also a commander.

Seeing that these words were so ruthless, Li Ce couldn't help but glance up at Sun Zhi, only to see that his Yin Hall was narrow, his cheekbones were high, and he really looked scathing.

As soon as Sun Zhi finished speaking, another general named Wang Youcai objected on the spot: "General Sun's words are wrong, if we sit idly by, I am afraid that when this matter is mentioned in the future, I am afraid that the officials in the court will not let us go, and then it will inevitably be dismissed and the family will be raided!" ”

"Hmph, that group of rotten Confucians know a fart, they will show off their lips and tongues, as the so-called will not be subject to the life of the monarch outside, if this matter is mentioned in the future, we will say that it is the invasion of the Liao people, and there is no manpower, so it can be pushed and dragged over." He Jianjun said with a displeased face.

Chen Yaozuo's brows were furrowed, his face seemed to be displeased, he saw that Guan Yiqi had been silent, and asked, "What do you think, old official?" ”

"Save!" Guan Yiqi answered very clearly and simply.

Chen Yaozuo frowned, a little difficult, although he is the envoy of Hebei West Road, in charge of the affairs of Hebei West Road, but the mobilization of the army is not completely up to him, the Northern Song Dynasty army, especially the forbidden army, is under the dual leadership, one is the border guard general, the other is the Privy Council, if the prison army and several deputy generals insist on refusing to send troops, Chen Yaozuo cannot forcibly transfer troops, otherwise the Privy Council will investigate in the future, and the crime of privately transferring troops is a few complicity! But if it is played lightly to the imperial court, this back and forth, to say the least, will take half a month, how can the people of Yizhou wait for half a month.

Several people led by He Jianjun did not approve of sending troops to relieve the disaster, Chen Yaozuo and Guan Yiqi naturally agreed, and there were also Wang Youcai who had no opinions, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

"Ahem...... That one...... Originally, in front of all the adults, I was not qualified to speak, but I, Li Ce, had to say it. Li Ce broke the silence with two dry coughs.

Seeing that it was this kid again, He Jianjun snorted coldly with disdain.

Chen Yaozuo nodded and motioned for Li Ce to continue.

Li Ce took a breath and said, "Dare to ask all of you, what is the so-called matter of our army stationed at the border pass?" ”

"The joke is naturally to protect the territory and the people." Sun Wei sneered, this kid is not big or small, how can he intervene in the deliberations of the army, but it is only because of Chen Yaozuo's face that he is not too ridiculous.

"Okay, I think the other generals think so too, right?" Li Ce looked at the other people with a smile and asked. When he asked like this, naturally no one would object, and no one knew if they could nod slightly, and no one knew what medicine was sold in this kid's gourd.

"Okay, that's it, you are really good officials who love the people like children", Li Ce suddenly gave a high hat, but the face of this guy with a smile made people feel a little treacherous......

"Why did you give up your comfortable life and be willing to stay here for a long time? For the people of Hebei West Road, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. When everyone heard this guy's blatant sycophants, some of them were thin-skinned and began to blush.

Li Ce ignored their blushing faces, and he suddenly made a distressed expression and said, "But the adults seem to have overlooked one thing. ”

Sun Zhi hurriedly continued: "What's the matter?" He was immersed in the great image that Li Ce had created for himself, and was waiting for Li Ce to continue to praise him, but he didn't want this kid to change his words, so he naturally asked in a hurry.

"The army is stationed here to protect the territory and the people, but if the people are gone, what will they be safe? In the future, whoever will provide us with taxes and support will cut off the people from our own rear supplies! Li Ce gradually put away his playful expression and said with a straight face.

"Protecting the territory and the people is not just about resisting foreign aggression, Li Ce is right, I think everyone understands now, if we let it go and force the displaced people in Yizhou to rise up, I'm afraid that no one will be able to afford this responsibility at that time! I have made up my mind, He Jian Jun, you leave a forbidden army to guard Zhending Mansion, and the others will follow me to help Yizhou! Chen Yaozuo was angry and quickly gave the order.

Li Ce's words cleverly occupied the commanding heights of morality, Sun Zhi and others had the intention to oppose but could not speak, so they had no choice but to agree, He Jianjun heard that he did not need to go to the disaster relief by himself, so he put down his heart and did not oppose it again.
