"My lord, hurry back, don't rub shoulder, the lord still needs you, if you don't leave, everyone will die here." At this time, Cao Xuan came over and said to Liu Bei, as a sharpshooter, he could see that the support of the tiger guard was very laborious and could collapse at any time.

When the flood hits, it's far from that simple. Immediately after this monstrous flood, it was only half of the shield in half a minute, and the shield was not sealed, and the gap between the two shields was like a water arrow that could fly more than ten meters away. The water that hit the shield was already higher than the head of the tiger guard, and everyone was wet, and at this time, the wolf army behind was carrying a sack of sand and stones, rushed to the back of the shield and quickly accumulated, stacking a temporary river bank, ready to replace the tiger guard.

Liu Bei went through a lot of hardships before he climbed out of the muddy half-waist pool and finally returned to the surface. When the tens of thousands of villagers who had been evacuated saw him, they all knelt down with a pop and kept kowtowing.

Liu Bei panicked suddenly. This is the first time that so many people have sincerely knelt down with themselves. This made Liu Bei a little overwhelmed.

"Folks, please get up quickly, you don't have to kneel, this is my duty to do." Liu Bei said sincerely to everyone.

"Lord Governor, great kindness, there is no way to repay it, and the lives of all of us will be yours in the future. What do you want us to do. We'll do whatever we do. The old men in the lead said.

"You're welcome, it's the general who really saves you, you see those soldiers who are rushing to repair the riverbank, they are the general's soldiers. Standing on the slope above is my father-in-law, the great general Chu Xiong. Liu Bei waved his hand and pointed to Chu Xiong with a sad face in the distance.

The people had the heart to thank Chu Xiong, but seeing a large group of soldiers surrounding Chu Xiong, Chu Xiong was urgently directing the soldiers to rescue those soldiers who were holding shields to resist the flood, and everyone could only kneel down and bow in the direction of Chu Xiong, "Thank you, general, thank you, thank you, save your life..."

"Fengxiao, are those people worshipping you!" I pointed to the people and said to Guo Jia.

"Lord, you're still in the mood to joke at this time! Listen to the shouts of those people, and everyone can tell that they are worshipping you. ”

"Really? The sound of this flood is so loud, Feng Xiao can still hear the people shouting, but his ears are not strong? It's just that so many people, this king has only saved some of them, and there are still many people in this place who have been affected!"

"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the lord has already sent the documents to various places, so that local officials can do their best to help the people tide over the difficulties." Jia Xu saw Chu Xiong so worried, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Whew," I let out a long breath and asked in a deep voice, "Fengxiao, and the two prefectures of Hebei have broken out in floods, and the people's food has been damaged, and the grain has been washed away by the flood, how many people will starve to death?" ”

"Lord, Youzhou achieved a bumper harvest last year, we have accumulated three million stone of grain, plus the seized Yuan Shao's grain salary, now there are more than two million stone of grain in stock, and we can also buy some grain from the rich households in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, even if floods break out in various parts of the two states, I dare to guarantee that the people can survive this disaster year in peace." Guo Jia replied confidently.

"Oh? But what do you mean by the populations of the states that we control now? Or according to the entire population of the three states! "I was worried that Guo Jia would only count the population under his current control, so I asked.

"Guan Yu and Lu Bu have already taken Jizhou for the lord, of course the lord is in charge of the three states, and of course the people under his rule must be counted! The lord can't look down on me because he stumped me with an arithmetic problem back then!" Guo Jia pretended to be angry and said.

"It would be great if all the affected people could survive the flood in peace. But the pace of this conquest is about to stop again. I sighed.

"My lord, in my opinion, there are several reasons why the flood is not suitable for foreign use of troops now. First, the army needs to spend a huge amount of food and salary on the expedition, and now it is used for disaster relief. Second, defeat Yuan Shao's army and take Jizhou, we are equivalent to adding millions of victims, and we need to carry a heavy burden, third, Yuan Shao is dead, but there are still hundreds of thousands of people in his next step, although sooner or later he will be defeated by the lord, there is no need to worry, but it is also a danger at present, and a large army is needed to defend. Fourth, Cao Cao's situation is not much better in this year's Yellow River floods, as long as the flood is over, it will not be too late to fight. Jia Xu analyzed precisely.

"The text and analysis are certainly reasonable, but you also ignore one thing, and that is the human heart." I said slowly: "Although Yuan Shao is dead, but the people are worried about the deterrence of their army, even if they are oppressed, they can only swallow their anger, if I launch a reserve army to relieve the disaster, mobilize the troops, defeat Yuan Shao's remnants, and take Qingzhou." Now for a rich man, if you give him a stone of grain, he will not feel anything! But for a poor peasant, if you give him a stone of grain, he will always remember your great kindness and will never forget it for the rest of his life. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the year of disaster is the best time to win the hearts of the people. There are so many families in the three states of Youji and Hebei, which family has not accumulated a lot of food, we can buy, we can borrow, as long as we all work hard, we will be able to make the people grateful and virtuous to survive the disaster year. ”

"The lord is right, but everything must be done according to his ability, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. We now have to prepare for the worst, because floods in several states at the same time will inevitably cause people to be displaced everywhere. The displaced people will come to Youzhou one after another, and the number will be extremely huge, at that time, what should we do? If the lord wants to win the hearts and minds of the people, he needs a lot of food. The hungry people will not remember the merits of the lord, they will not remember the benevolence of the lord, they will not pay attention to the difficulties of the lord, they only know that they want food, and if there is no food, they will rob and steal, at that time, what will the lord do? I'm afraid that the lord will not only not get a good reputation, but will also be infamy. Guo Jia said solemnly.

"Lord, Feng Xiao said it well, I was in a hurry just now, and I actually forgot about such a big thing as the displaced people, my lord, this year's flood is a foregone conclusion, and the number of displaced people will be very large, the rich world of Youzhou is well known, and the displaced people will rush to Jizhou one after another, and we must also make more preparations!" Jia Xu also had a bitter face.

"Displaced people, who said that Youzhou is going to accept displaced people, the policies we have implemented in Youzhou have been very successful in recent years, as long as the people are given enough conditions to live, I believe that no one is willing to leave their hometown." I said with a smug face, paused, and sighed: "Displaced people, what is a displaced person?" The common people can't survive at home, so they start to flow, where there is food, they go, where they can survive, they go! Begging along the road for a living, begging can't beg, start stealing, can't steal, start to join other homeless people to rob, so, a group of homeless people gradually become a group of homeless gangsters. Wherever they go, where they destroy, where they destroy, new displaced people will be created, and the cycle will repeat, forming a vicious circle. Can we accept such a situation? No, I tell you, the homeless people are a bottomless pit, if you accept one, you have to accept the second and third, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to refuse, so on the issue of the homeless, you must give a death order, and no homeless person is allowed to enter Youzhou, and must receive help locally. Otherwise, kill on the spot! I snapped.

"Lord, if you say this, I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the people, and the lord will also lose the hearts of the people! After all, there are so many displaced people, it is very difficult to stop them! Guo Jia said with a bitter face.

"This is also a way to do it, and the two states are also the territory of this king, if the population flows frequently, it will be difficult to manage in the future. He also ordered all merchants not to hoard goods and raise prices, causing difficulties in the lives of the people, and to kill them without mercy, and to treat them in special periods. I said harshly.

"But the lord's method is too extreme and must not be used, we have to think of a way to prevent the displaced people from pouring into Youzhou." Jia Xu said slowly, shaking his head.

"Otherwise, from now on, we will step up our investigation of the situation in several states, and once there is a large-scale displacement, we will quickly send soldiers to evacuate and provide relief. For the displaced people on Cao Cao's side, send people to step up the inspection of the Yellow River crossing, and prohibit the displaced people from entering the two states of Hebei and Hebei, so that there must not be many displaced people who can enter the two states of Hebei and Hebei, what do you think of this? I said with a frown.

"The lord's strategy is really good, but Yanzhou, Sili and Hebei are only separated by a river, not far apart, this patrol is really not small?" Guo Jia said.

"Fengxiao, don't worry, Cao Cao's victims won't enter the king's territory! Hehe. I smiled and continued: "Cao Cao is now fighting for the world with the Son of Heaven, and now his territory is also flooding, the most important thing to do is to stabilize the people's hearts, and the displaced people are everywhere, how can Cao Cao let go of such a good opportunity?" And Cao Cao likes to save face, and in this disaster relief, his strength will also be weakened, and he will not be able to develop in a short period of time. I said with a smile.

"The lord is really wise, but he has suffered these outcasts. Cao Cao's life is not easy, and the life of the displaced people is even worse, there will definitely not be many survivors, and it will definitely be a tragic scene of corpses everywhere! Guo Jia let out a long sigh and said bitterly.

"This king also wants to save them, but unfortunately, this king is not an immortal now, and Cao Cao will not let this king save them. This king should hurry up and save the tiger guard first!" I said with a sad face.

"Lord, don't be sad, this is a natural and man-made disaster, not the fault of the lord." Guo Jia saw that Chu Xiong was sad and persuaded him.

"The thought of so many innocent people to be displaced or even die, I feel a burst of heartache and sadness," I suddenly remembered something, put away my sad expression, and said in a deep voice: "By the way, Fengxiao, hurry up and ask the soldiers to prepare a one-person high stake, tie a pile behind the sandbags hoarded by the Sky Wolf Army, stabilize the river embankment, and retreat the tiger guard."
