Lu Yu, Huangfu Jianchang and the others looked at Liu Wei curiously, thinking about which candidate they were for.

There are still many people in the Han Dynasty and the opposition, especially those left by the first emperor and those who were idle in the past.

Liu Wei met their eyes and said with a smile: "Come, guess, who is the character I thought of?" ”

Seeing that Liu Wei was in a good mood, Huangfu Jian immediately took out an apple from his arms with a smiling face, rubbed it on his chest, and said, "Weichen guesses that it is the new criminal Cao Shangshu Xu You." ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "He doesn't have enough weight and a shallow foundation, so he can't investigate such a big case." Lu Yu, you say? ”

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said, "Father-in-law Zuo of the Huangmen North Temple Prison? ”

Liu Wei still shook his head, smiled more, and said, "Okay, don't play." Send the message back to Luoyang, let Zhong Xuan, Chen Gong, Xi Zhicai and others go back. Cao Song was the general of the minister, and the officials such as Cao, Yushitai, and Cao cooperated to inspect the water situation in Yuzhou. ”

Lu Yu's expression changed immediately, and he reacted violently again, and said, "Yes." ”

The reason why he was so frightened was because Cao Song was Cao Cao's father, the first emperor's lieutenant.

Cao Cao had a big incident on his side, and Cao Song was appointed as an envoy to investigate the Yuzhou Rebellion.

There are too many treacherous things in this, Lu Yu felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it for a while, and quickly gathered his thoughts.

Huangfu Jian's action of biting the apple slowed down a little, and then he opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, who will Yanzhou send there?" ”

"Liu Xie."

A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Wei's eyes, and he said lightly: "However, it is not my will, let the prime minister say it." ”

"Yes." Lu Yu wrote it down carefully. At the same time, I thought in my heart that the arrangements on the side of the imperial court had almost been overturned.

Half-solved these two things, Liu Wei was in a good mood, looked at Yuzhou, and said to himself: "Now, it's just the water situation in Yuzhou." Any news from anywhere else? ”

Lu Yu raised his hand and said, "Not for the time being." The holy decree and the will of the imperial court have been sent to Yanzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou one after another. ”

These four states are the most flooded places in history, inundating countless states and counties at every turn, and people cannibalism cannot bear to look at each other.

When Liu Wei looked over, Yuzhou was not calm at all.

Even if Liu Xuan, Tian Feng and others regard preventing the Hunhe River from bursting as a top priority, there will always be people who pull back and do things.

At a ferry crossing, Tian Feng braved the heavy rain and commanded the recruited farmers to carry materials with all their might to block the growing water level.

The county man ran over from not far away and said loudly in his ear: "Fujun, someone has deducted food, and today's lunch has not been delivered." ”

Tian Feng's face sank, and he shouted: "Take the troops to investigate, whoever messes around, cut first and then play!" Raise it immediately, or transfer it from elsewhere, at this time, there must be no chaos! ”

Now is the critical moment for river control, if the recruited people can't eat, what kind of river can be treated, it is better to open it directly.

Jun Cheng responded, and then shouted before leaving, "Fujun, you still need to take care of it personally." ”

Tian Feng's face sank like water, looked at the turbulent muddy water in front of him, pulled Du Shuilang over, explained a few words seriously, turned around and left in a hurry.

On this line, it is only a few dozen feet, but it is covered with more than 20,000 young and strong farmers.

Less than 20 miles away from Tian Feng, Liu Miao was dressed in a robe, soaking wet, and shouting in the heavy rain: "Hurry! Fast! Move over there and plug the gap! ”

The flood was already stretching out, the small river was constantly coming, and the levee not far away was crumbling, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

And the flood inside is surging, and once it rushes out, it is a ruthless beast that devours everything on the surface!

"Envoy! Envoy! ”

At this time, Du Shuiwei came to Liu Miao with two bricks, and was heartbroken, and even cried: "We have been deceived, these bricks, stones, and timber are all fake, shoddy, and they can't stop the ......flood at all."

Liu Xuan's face changed, snatched the turn of his head in his hand, touched it in his hand, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Damn!" Liu Miao stomped his feet and yelled, "Is everything like this? Who is going to buy it? Who sells it? Damn it! ”

Du Shui Wei hurriedly said: "Let the king calm his anger, it's just that this batch is fake, and the following and the following haven't been sent yet!" ”

Liu Xuan's heart suddenly swelled with hope, and he said urgently: "It's not allowed to be used!" Hurry, go, the second batch, strict acceptance, never allow any more fakes. Also, food, clothing, housing and transportation must be strict, and there must be no leave. Tell the water friends at the embankment, and do it all! ”

"Yes!" Du Shui Wei responded, turned around and strode away.

The rain was pouring down, the road was like a swamp, and it was difficult to trek and I almost fell.

Liu Miao looked at it, worried in his heart, but there was nothing else he could do.

At the same time, Liu Bei was also supervising the construction of another estuary facing collapse, directing the soldiers who laid down their arms and transporting stones with all their might.

Compared with Liu Xuan, Tian Feng and others, he is orderly and not so flustered.

Liu Bei stood on a high ground with a sad expression, and sighed lightly with Mi Zhu beside him: "If the embankment is broken, I don't know how many people will suffer......

Mi Zhu was silent, thinking in his heart about how to use the money and food sent by Liu Miao and others.

There is no doubt that this time is a great time to make money, especially as Liu Bei's brother-in-law, there is too much room for maneuver.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Fei ran up from behind and said urgently: "There is news from Xiangxian that there are many bandits of all sizes, roughly tens of thousands of people, asking the eldest brother to return to the army to rescue." ”

Liu Bei was not surprised, was stunned, and said, "Where did so many bandits come from?" ”

Floods and droughts are indeed easy to breed bandits, but the water has not yet broken the embankment?

Zhang Fei saw that there were no outsiders, so he said loudly: "Someone said that some of them may be to save the water officials who were imprisoned in the city, and some are the original bandits who want to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Liu Bei looked back at the water and looked hesitant.

If you leave with troops now, most of the gap here will be reopened, and I don't know how many counties will be flooded by then.

If you don't go back to Xiang County, once Xiang County is broken by bandits, it will also be a big crime!

Mi Zhu saw it on the side, thought for a moment and said: "General, let's go back to the army, Xiangxian can't afford to lose." ”

Liu Bei frowned, sighed annoyancedly, and said, "If I go, what will the people of the counties downstream do?" Is it not the same as being slaughtered by me? ”

Mi Zhu was stunned and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say at all.

Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Big brother don't worry, just bandits, I am alone, three thousand soldiers are enough!" ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and said, "Third brother, you inform the second brother that each of you will bring a thousand soldiers and horses, and you don't want to suppress the bandits, just repel them." ”

"Command!" Zhang Fei didn't care about the shrinkage of a thousand people, clenched his fists, and strode away.

Liu Bei was still worried, and watched Zhang Fei ride a horse and gallop away.

In order to control the river, it can be said that a series of various filths have been triggered, Liu Xuan, Tian Feng, Liu Bei and others have no time to separate themselves and do their best to control the river.

And the whole of Yuzhou was implicated, perhaps because of the ruthlessness of Liu Xuan and Tian Feng, who didn't want to be killed or raided or really cared about, and didn't want the Hunhe River to burst the embankment, in short, many counties and counties sent people to transport money and grain and young people to support.

This greatly relieved the pressure on Liu Xuan, Tian Feng and others, but instead of stopping, the heavy rain became heavier and heavier, and the water level continued to rise, always on the verge of danger.

At noon on this day, Tian Feng sat under a big tree, touched the dirt on his face, lowered his head and ate the rice in the box, regardless of the rain that kept dripping from the tree.

Under the trees not far away, there were people sitting in a hurry, all in a hurry to eat, and from time to time they looked up at the embankment not far away.

The water there was surging, constantly roaring and lapping against the riverbank, like a hungry trapped beast, trying to rush out.

Everyone was worried and worried.

Tian Feng buried his head in eating, and his face turned his head like a piece of half-red and not black.

Jun Cheng ate a few bites, came to his side, looked up at the sky, and said, "Fujun, the lower official has asked, saying that the heavy rain may stop in the next two days, but according to experience, it will rain again in a few days." ”

Tian Feng put the lunch box aside, his expression was like iron, and said, "What else can I do?" ”

Jun Cheng shook his head and said, "I used everything that could be used." Coupled with General Liu's soldiers, there are more than 100,000 young and strong people used, and if they can't be stopped, it will be providential. ”

After speaking, the corners of his mouth moved, and he stopped talking.

"What else? Go ahead. Tian Feng frowned.

Jun Cheng glanced around, waved the others away, and stepped forward and whispered: "Recently, a lot of rumors have popped up from nowhere, saying that this flood is a warning, referring to His Majesty's immorality, mediocrity and tyranny, and heavenly punishment. ”

Tian Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't bother." ”

This kind of rumor, whenever something happens, will be similar, especially in the last days of the dynasty, changing the soup without changing the medicine, and it is endless.

Seeing that he didn't care, Jun Cheng said again: "Also, there is ...... The prophecy of the golden sword. ”

Tian Feng's face finally changed, he stood up, looked directly into his eyes, as sharp as a sword, and said in a low voice: "Where did it come from?!" ”

Jun Cheng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, it's spread everywhere, and the lower official has already ordered it to be suppressed, but I don't have time to investigate it in detail." ”

The corners of Tian Feng's face twitched, and his eyes looked indifferently at the unkempt colleagues and people not far away.

'Mao Jin Dao is Liu', 'The Prophecy of the Golden Knife' seems to mean that the surname Liu will continue to rule the world, but it can also be used to rebel, intending to replace it.

The "Golden Knife Message" was widely used, especially during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, under the slogan "The sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should stand", there was also a "Golden Sword Message" as a support.

Under Tian Feng's gaze, many people cast puzzled looks.

Tian Fengshou looked down, lowered his head and pondered, but for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Prepare some soldiers, and kill the people who run away and those who wantonly kill those who fabricate, spread, and spread rumors, and kill them on the spot!" ”

Jun Cheng's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Fu Jun, do you really want to do this?" Once it causes a mess, it's not easy to clean up. ”

These people were all recruited on a temporary basis and had no training, and once they rioted, not only could they not control it, but they would also cause a civil uprising, and the most important thing would be to control the river.

"If you don't control it, it's even bigger!"

Tian Feng's eyes were cold, and he said, "You secretly pay attention and find out who it is." ”

Jun Cheng immediately reacted and said, "Fu Jun, do you suspect that someone is deliberately spreading rumors and plotting against you?" ”

"Hmm,"

Tian Feng didn't hide it, he suppressed anger in his heart, his eyes were full of murderous intentions, and said: "Inform Liu Yuanjun and General Liu again, ask them not to be soft, at this time, there can be no chaos, once discovered, it must be thundered and deterred!" ”

"Yes!" Jun Cheng became vigilant and replied in a deep voice.

Tian Feng looked at the embankment again, where there were still farmers piling up the embankment to resist the floods.

His expression was solemn, and he thought hard about how to do it.

In fact, by now, he also knows that he has missed the best time to control the river, and he can only keep rising, and there is nothing he can do.

But it's not yet July, it's just an appetizer, and the real rainy season hasn't arrived yet.

Even if this time passes, what about the next time, next month?

Tian Feng was in a heavy mood, and hated even more that batch of brutes who were greedy for river repair, deceived and deceived their superiors and subordinates, and should be cut by a thousand knives!

Yuzhou made every effort to control the river, and at the same time, there were ups and downs, rumors spread, and it became a pot of porridge.

And Cao Song, who set out from Qian County and went to Xiang County as an envoy to investigate the case, has also entered Pei County.

But as soon as he entered Pei County, he disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

Yuyuan Pass.

Liu Wei sat here, staring at the water situation in Yuzhou, and also paying attention to Luoyang.

He was working on the notebook in the temporary study, Lu Yu hurriedly ran in, handed over a few notebooks, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the report of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, the heavy rain continues, the river is surging, and the flood situation has appeared. ”

Liu Wei had already expected it, took it with an unmoving expression, carefully read a few scripts, pondered for a while, and said, "Leave it to Shang Shutai to deal with." By the way, I will give an order to the lieutenant generals of the states, and when necessary, they will lead troops to support, be sure to block the flood, and not break the embankment! ”

"Yes." Lu Yu was about to turn around.

Liu Wei said suddenly: "Wait, and then send a message to Shang Shutai, asking the prime minister, left and right, choose the opportunity to go out of Beijing, go to various places, and guide the flood control and disaster relief in various places." ”

"Yes." Lu Yu responded, waited for a while, Liu Wei didn't speak, and left quickly.

Liu Wei's temples hurt badly, he pressed the thumbs of both hands hard, frowned, looked up at the door sharply, and said, "Pan Yin." ”

"The villain is here." Pan Yin trotted in.

Pan Yin came from Luoyang not long ago, knowing that something big had happened, so he was more and more cautious.

Liu Bian's eyebrows were tightly locked, his face was contemplative, and he said, "Luoyang, is there anything missing?" ”

Pan Yin thought carefully and said, "Back to Your Majesty, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and there is nothing missing. ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Send a message back to the palace and let Liu Shao go to Jizhou with the prime minister." ”

Pan Yin was secretly shocked in his heart, and he stopped talking, but he still stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, is it a little unsafe?" ”

Liu Wei knew that Pan Yin was referring to Cao Cao.

Waving his hand, Liu argued: "Don't think so much, just pass on the message." By the way, I will send a message to Liu Ba again, and see how much grain the royal money can squeeze out, I will use it. ”
