The heavy snow fell for seven days and seven nights, and finally slowly stopped, and the mountains, fields, cities, and villages of the four prefectures of Hebei ...... It was all covered by thick snow, shallow to the knees, deep enough to cover the head, and a large number of houses and thatched huts collapsed, no less than 100,000 people died of cold and starvation, and as many as one million refugees, without food and clothing, fleeing in all directions!

Under the pressure of hunger and cold, human beings will become beasts, and the thing of "easy children and food" happens almost every day, in order to find a way to live, a few people fall into the grass for a coward, relying on robbing houses to fill their stomachs, most people flock to the city, hoping to find a place to live, and successfully survive the year of famine!

"Uncle stutter, good intentions have good rewards, I wish you glory and wealth, and the prince of all generations!"

"The beautiful yellow flower girl, ingenious, hard-working, only twenty catties of corn!"

…………………………

Yecheng - a large population, prosperous and rich, is a famous grain production area, but also the first choice for escaping famine, in just half a month, tens of thousands of refugees poured in, the streets and alleys, crowds surging, everywhere is the sound of begging!

In order to fill their stomachs, the refugees worked hard, sold blood and sweat, and just wanted a full meal, but they had no choice but to put straw sticks, sell themselves, or sell their children and daughters......

It is a good thing for the nobles to enter the city, and it is often seen that some high-spirited stewards in green clothes walk around among the refugees, buying a large number of slaves and maids at extremely low prices, which is cheaper than buying livestock!

There are also people who are unwilling to be slaves, abducted, stolen, and even gathered to make trouble, robbed large families, and all of a sudden, the public security in Yecheng was chaotic, and the people were panicked!

In order to restore law and order, Cao Jun patrolled the streets day and night, and when he encountered criminals, he must be severely punished, beheading dozens of people every day.

The situation was so serious that Prime Minister Cao Cao couldn't sit still, so he first ordered the city gate to be closed and imposed military martial law on Yecheng, and then took the civil and military ministers to climb the city tower to check the situation, and was immediately stunned......

"Open the door! --We are dying of hunger, so be compassionate! ”

"it! --Hengzhu is also a death, and if you don't open the city gate, the old men will rebel! ”

…………………………

As far as the eye can see, Yecheng is surrounded by refugees, the black pressure is not boundless, I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands of people, and the hunger is unbearable, the cry is shocking, like a pile of dry firewood and grass, as long as you throw a spark, it will ignite a sky-high flame!

It is conceivable that once hundreds of thousands of refugees rebel, what will happen to the consequences, the three states of Qing, Hebei, and Hebei, which have just been pacified, will inevitably be surrounded by swords and soldiers, and the flames of war will be rekindled, and the Cao army is busy suppressing the rebellious people, so if there is the strength to attack Youzhou, the Northern Expedition will be abandoned halfway!

In addition, people's hearts are sinister, everything is unpredictable, the Cao Ying group is in full swing, almost unifying the Central Plains, and it has also attracted countless hatreds, Yuan Xu, Karasuma, Xianbei, and Liaodong in the north, and Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Hanzhong, and Yizhou in the south...... Who is not afraid and harbors evil?

Under the peaceful years, they still have to make waves and create incidents, such as today's heavy snowfall and countless victims, they will fall into the ground, so as to weaken the strength of the Cao Ying Group and block the pace of unifying the world!

They either stationed troops on the border, made threatening gestures, or secretly sent people to instigate the hungry people to revolt, and the more chaotic the situation in the Central Plains, the more beneficial it was for them!

"Heavy snow falls in the sky, and the people suffer, all because of the old man's immorality, I hate to bear all the suffering in the world with my own body, even if I am broken, I have no regrets!"

Cao Cao looked up at the sky, with a look of guilt, the Chinese people believe in the saying of 'heaven and man induction', if the heavens send disasters, it must be the ruler's mistake, and he must blame himself deeply, correct it in time, and ask for God's forgiveness!

However, whether it is self-blame or correction, it is generally the emperor's business, and only the Son of Heaven can communicate with God, Cao Cao takes the initiative to take responsibility, it seems to be benevolent and virtuous, but in fact he has ill intentions, is he the Son of Heaven?

"Wind, frost, rain and snow, the principle of nature, the prime minister does not have to blame himself, for the sake of today's plan, when the disaster relief is the first, there are three suggestions under the subordinates, or the disaster can be alleviated:

First, first send people to various places to investigate the situation in detail, and provide relief in turn according to the severity of the disaster, and then strictly order officials of all prefectures and counties to go deep into the disaster areas and organize the people to save themselves!

Second, the refugees are like fire, and if the erosion of the place spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the elite iron cavalry will be quickly dispatched to block the ferries along the Yellow River, so as not to cause the refugees to flow to Yan, Henan, Xu, and Si Prefectures, shaking the fundamental land!

Third, in Yecheng, Liyang, Handan, Taiyuan, Linzi...... In various cities, large porridge fields were set up, warm clothes were distributed, and the people were hungry and clothed, and people's hearts were naturally stable, so as not to be bewitched by the gangsters and reproduce the Yellow Turban Rebellion! ”

The Prime Minister is engaged in - Mao Jue stood up and played three disaster relief methods, in terms of strategizing and winning thousands of miles, he is far from Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, but it is his strength to appease the people and govern the place!

"The three articles of filial piety are all golden and jade good words, and the old man should obey them, and he was crowned as the Yecheng Order, the Marquis of Guannei, and gave 300 households to eat and drink, and was responsible for raising food and clothing, and comprehensively relieving the victims!"

Cao Cao used people as talents, first rewarded Mao Jue and gave high-ranking officials Houlu, and then issued the Prime Minister's Decree, so that officials from all over the country could do their best to relieve the victims!

All of a sudden, the envoys went out in all directions, rushed to various places, conveyed the orders of the prime minister, and at the same time urged the big and small officials to do their best to relieve the disaster.

Although the three strategies are good, after all, the effect is slow, Yecheng has gathered hundreds of thousands of refugees, and a riot may occur at any time, so it is necessary to let a person with strong ability and high prestige come forward to appease the refugees and stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible!

Cao Cao is highly respected, capable, and the regent of the Han Dynasty, so he is the most suitable candidate, but it is too dangerous for the chaos outside the city, the refugees are uneasy, and there will be a big riot at any time!

Besides, Cao Cao is in charge of military and political power, known as the 'uncrowned king', there are many people who worship him, and there are even more people who hate him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, princes from all walks of life, and nomadic tribes...... They are all eyeing each other and want to take the life of the traitor!

Among the countless refugees, it is likely that there are hidden assassins, Prime Minister Cao Cao went out to appease people's hearts, once he was assassinated, the sky would fall, but the refugees were surging, and no strong person came forward, and he couldn't deter the situation?

Is the current way to nominate an important minister, instead of the prime minister, to appease the refugees outside the city, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi The three sons are good candidates, but unfortunately they are too young and lack of prestige, I am afraid they will not be able to shock people's hearts?

"The refugees are flooding, the people's hearts are surging, and I also ask Da Sima to go out of the city to inspect, which will definitely appease the people's hearts!"

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, invincible, invincible, Xiao Xiaowen retreats thousands of miles, and the people can feel at ease when they see it!"

…………………………

Without any hesitation, all the ministers recommended Xiao Yi, and among the civil and military ministers in the camp, only his ability, prestige, and experience were ...... It's time to take on the task!

A Xiao Yi is known as the 'reincarnation of the greedy wolf star king', who is in charge of human killing, among the common people, has a very high prestige, as long as his banner is erected, who dares to make trouble easily?

Second, when he recruited a million Yellow Turban Army, it was Xiao Yixian's strategy, and he was responsible for specific affairs, had rich experience, and did things beautifully, which was praised by the government and the opposition!

"The situation is urgent, there is no time to delay, please go out of the city without worry, the soldiers and horses are mobilized, and the food is distributed...... As well as all kinds of disaster relief matters, you can decide for yourself, and you don't have to tell the old man about everything! ”

Cao Cao groaned slightly, and also nodded and agreed, to help the victims, the merit is immeasurable, and he can win the hearts of the people of Hebei, if there are other suitable candidates, I really don't want to send Xiao Yi to go, but unfortunately there is no one!

"The Prime Minister trusts you, and the civil and military ministers recommend you, and the last general will do his best to appease hundreds of thousands of refugees, and I hope that you will help you and obtain this immeasurable merit together!

Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, Trapping Camp, Modao Soldiers, Danyang Soldiers, Xiliang Soldiers, Digger Army...... Quickly drive out of the city, isolate the refugees, and resettle them according to the state, county, and county place of origin, and restore order as soon as possible!

Jiang Qi led the people of the headquarters to dredge the roads and set up checkpoints within a radius of 100 miles from Yecheng, and all the refugees who gathered were sent to the refugee camp for resettlement after careful investigation!

The rest of the officials, big and small, requisitioned people's husbands, cleared the snow, counted the treasury, raised materials, and made every effort to relieve the victims outside the city, and then told the scholars and powerful landlords in Yecheng to donate more money, food, and clothing. ”

Xiao Yi dispatched troops and dispatched generals, commanded disaster relief matters, and made all the arrangements carefully, reasonably and properly, worthy of being the first general in the world, with the same skills as governing the army and saving the people!

There are many refugees, the situation is complicated, and if the problem cannot be solved by distributing food and clothing alone, it must be done with grace and power, so Xiao Yat sent a law enforcement team, armed with a ghost-headed knife, to inspect various refugee camps......

Gather a crowd to make trouble, and those who disobey the order - kill!

Those who spread rumors and demagogues - kill!

Robbery, theft - kill!

Rape ** woman, human trafficker - kill!

Fights and brawls, disruptors - kill!

………………………………

Kill! --Kill! --Kill!
