"Wen Ruo, two hundred miles north of Xudu is the Yellow River, if the Yellow River bursts at this moment, then the entire Xudu City will be flooded!"
Ning Rong knew too well the terrible nature of the flood, and the power of the destruction was that the houses made of cement and steel bars could rise from the ground, not to mention the wooden houses in front of two thousand.
"Zhiyuan rest assured, a certain government soldier has been stationed on the other side of the river embankment, and once the situation changes, the flood will be discharged immediately!"
Speaking of this, Xun Yu was a burst of joy, fortunately, he listened to Ning Rong's words before, built the embankment, and dug the canal.
"Zhiyuan, there are two things that worry someone the most!"
Ning Rong looked up at Xun Yu and motioned to the other party to say directly.
"First, the lord is now stationed more than 100,000 troops to attack Tongguan, and the grain and grass can only support it for two months, if the river does not recede, this grain and grass ......"
Hearing this, Ning Rong's eyes darkened, but he remembered Lu Xun and Pang Tong, who sent these two people to the brink of life and death.
"Second, Yuan Shao of Hebei is eyeing the lord, if he deliberately destroys the Yellow River embankment at this moment, the rolling flood will pour thousands of miles, and the city of Xu Du will be in danger......"
Alas!
Again, this is an unsolvable problem!
Ning Rong scratched his head irritably, this kind of thing is not impossible, if it is really possible for him to do this.
You must know that Xudu is located in the hinterland of Yuzhou, the center of the entire Central Plains, backed by the southeast of the Songshan Mountain Range.
The Yellow River can be reached 200 miles to the north, and the vast Huanghuai Plain is connected to the east, the wealthy Jiangxia County is connected to the south, and the Nanyang Basin is facing to the southwest.
It can be said that Ning Rong and others suggested that the capital of Xudu should be established because of the geographical advantages of this place, and the Yellow River Plain could develop agriculture and solve the problem of grain and grass supply.
However, now the disadvantage has also become apparent, that is, there are no mountains and mountains in the Yellow River Plain to block the river and protect the capital.
"Wait a little longer......"
Ning Rong couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, so he said helplessly.
……
On August 3rd, the rain in the sky was gradually decreasing, Ning Rong's face was as gloomy as this day, he stood on the embankment on the river bank, looking at the white Yellow River, rolling waves from time to time under the roar of the wind, lapping on the bank, and the river soon wet Ning Rong's boots.
"Master Hou, it's dangerous here, you better come down!"
The local prefectural magistrate who followed behind him was worried and persuaded him.
Looking at the river like an ocean, the embankment seems to be in danger of being washed away by the water at any time, how can Ning Rong's heart be at peace.
"Can the disaster relief in Er County be prepared?" Ning Rong took a deep breath, his eyes kept flickering, as if he had a plan in his heart.
“…… This ......"
Hearing Ning Rong's words, the county order suddenly sweated like rain.
"What? Now that the rivers are swelling and the fields are flooding, the flood disaster is a foregone conclusion, is there no way to deal with the flood relief? ”
Ning Rong looked at the hesitation of the county order, and his face immediately fell.
“…… Hou, Hou, this rain keeps falling, and the whole land is saturated...... The lower officials have recruited people to be stationed here these days, and they can't get away at all......"
The county order was reprimanded by Ning Rong in front of everyone, his face turned a little red, and he explained to himself with a sneer.
"Humph! What a can't get out! Ben Hou repeatedly sent orders to all counties and counties, flood prevention and disaster relief is one, and as a parent official, you turned a deaf ear and joked with the lives of the people under your rule, even so, then Ben Hou joked with your life! ”
Ning Rong's whole face was pulled down, like a black cloud in the sky.
"If someone comes, he will be deprived of the position of county commander immediately, and he will be pulled down and beheaded!"
"No!"
Zhou Cang took a step forward and took the order with a big knife in his arms.
After saying that, he immediately commanded the two guards to step forward and block the county order one left and one right, and then Zhou Cang's face flashed a cruel smile.
"Master Hou spares his life...... Hou Ye spared his life...... The lower officials inspected the river embankment day and night, and there was no merit and hard work......"
"Chop!"
Ning Rong was in a manic state, and he didn't listen, waving his hand and ordering coldly at Zhou Cang.
"Bang!"
Zhou Cang's hand rose and fell, and a cavity of blood sprayed on the ground, and soon the river washed away, only a dead head stared at Ning Rong.
"Where is the county?"
Ning Rong didn't look at it, and asked with a cold face.
"The lower official is here!"
The county was frightened by this scene, and when he heard Ning Rong's question, his legs trembled and he stepped forward and saluted in a low voice.
Ning Rong looked at this person with cold eyes, his face was covered with the vicissitudes of time, his hands were thick calluses, and the official uniform at the hem had a trace of repair.
"I now appoint you as the county magistrate of this county, take office immediately, and lead your officials and subordinates to prepare for disaster relief immediately, remember, after the catastrophe, there will be a great battle! If you dare to slack off, this thief will be the end! ”
Ning Rong's murderous words, as the sound of rain poured into everyone's ears, looking at the Shangguan in front of him, everyone's hearts fluttered and were frightened.
"The subordinate obeys!"
The county Cheng secretly glanced at Ning Rong and swallowed and foamed, this is really an opportunity and a risk, he is the unjust death of this Shangguan, Master Hou is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys!
That's right!
Ning Rong is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, now it is unusual, of course he knows that the county order is quite diligent, but can diligence prevent the big battle from happening? When it matters most, we need to do key things.
"The lower officials dare to ask the Hou Ye to make it clear......," the county man had the courage to ask for advice.
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this, Ning Rong's heart moved, but he somewhat understood that he was really taking it for granted, although he had repeatedly ordered the counties to flood control and disaster relief, but people in this era were obviously not very accustomed to formulating prevention mechanisms, but were always used to waiting until it happened to find a way to solve it.
Ning Rong glanced at those people with blazing eyes.
"First, you can investigate the low-lying areas of the county, and relocate all the people who may be flooded to the higher grounds!
Second, collect the county's grain and medicinal materials in case of emergency!
Third, immediately dispatch officials to maintain law and order in the county, increase personal hygiene, and urban sanitation investigation!
Fourth......
Listening to Ning Rong's methods one by one, the county and the villagers looked at Ning Rong strangely, and the suspicion in their eyes slowly changed.
"Xia Guan understands!"
Xian Cheng took a deep breath, he didn't expect the famous Right Army Division to be so familiar with political affairs, thinking of those suggestions on people's livelihood, he made some decisions in his heart, it turned out that Hou Ye was most concerned about people's livelihood.
In the following days, Ning Rong continued to inspect various places, checking the key flood control locations in various places, and sometimes Ning Rong even took the initiative to join the flood relief team, dredge the river and repair houses with the local people.
And the people saw that Ning Rong was doing it himself regardless of his identity, and they also spontaneously joined the flood fighting team, and they gradually became supportive of Ning Rong. However...... But the rain kept falling!
