The team continued to advance cautiously on the rugged mountain path, and from time to time the unlucky eggs were swallowed by traps, and everyone became more and more frightened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sun was gradually setting, and the pursuers had lost hundreds, and the people cowered and refused to go any further.

Jielun executed several soldiers who had taken the lead in the arguing and forced the team to continue the pursuit.

Jielun led his pursuers to pursue the mountains for five days, but not only did he not achieve any results, but he lost many soldiers and horses.

Morale dropped to a very tense level, and Jielun had no choice but to give the order to retreat, at this time Jielun was only separated from the target by a low mountain beam, and Lucerne's spies were all ready for a bloody battle.

At the end of August, Lu Sen escorted Yuekan and his party through the last mountain beam into the territory of the province of Shenbo.

That night, Li Jun and Sun Ce, who were in the city of Xianbo, received the relevant flying pigeon biography, and after great joy, Sun Ce immediately sent a flying pigeon biography to Chang'an, and Li Jun personally led a team of cavalry to meet Yuekan and his party.

Two days later, Cao Cao received Sun Ce's flying pigeon message.

"Good news, everyone! Vesudeva's second prince, Yuekan, has been found! Cao Cao smiled and said, at this time Cao Cao was in the palace hall of the morning court.

The ministers whispered, and Xi Zhicai said happily: "In this way, my Great Wei will have one more vassal!" ”

"Your Majesty's virtue can shine on the sun and the moon, and it is not inferior to the ancient sages!" A sycophant slaps the sycophants.

Cao Cao smiled: "You are very comfortable with this sycophant!" However, I don't want to learn from the ancient sages! Those who sell their fame and reputation have a false name, but they cannot give the people real benefits! It must be known that any so-called morality must be based on interests, just imagine, how can a common people who can't even eat enough to eat be loyal to the monarch and patriotic! ”

A few old pedants wanted to refute it, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Xun You stood out and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" The real righteousness is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the Chinese nation be strong! Everything else is just the rhetoric of those who seek fame and fame! ”

"Alright, that's it for that! Ladies and gentlemen, if nothing starts, the court will disperse! Cao Cao said.

Chen Gong came out and said: "Your Majesty, major floods have broken out in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou, and the affected people are estimated to be in the millions, and thousands of hectares of fertile land have been flooded, so we must deal with it immediately!" ”

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "How did the state and county officials respond?" ”

"Officials from various states and counties are organizing the people and local garrisons to go all out to provide disaster relief and open warehouses to release grain! However, this disaster is too big, and I am afraid that the local government will not be able to support it alone! ”

Cao Cao said categorically: "The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry will do their best to deal with the current disaster!" Order the garrisons in the north to be ready for reinforcements at any time! Gongtai, you personally go down to supervise the disaster relief situation in various places! I give you the right to act cheaply, and if anyone dares to make a fortune, he will not be forgiven! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Chen Gong solemnly promised with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, the current disaster situation is serious, do you want to let the regular army go to the disaster?" A minister suggested.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said categorically: "No! At the time of the catastrophe, it is also the most tense time at the border! All legions must be on guard! As for disaster relief, it is enough to hand it over to the local garrison! If there are not enough people, the local people will be recruited! ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cao Cao came to the lake behind the main hall, and Chen Gong and Xi Zhicai followed.

"Gongtai, how much has the flood affected us this time? By worst estimate! Cao Cao said.

Chen Gong thought for a moment and replied: "If the current floods continue until late September, the number of people affected may reach three million, and two-thirds of the fields in the south will not be harvested this year!" One million quintals of grain needed for the disaster, and two million taels of silver! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Well, we can afford this loss!" Gongtai, the matter of disaster trafficking is very important, you must give me a good look at this stall! I don't allow anyone to play yin on this! I will send secret agents of the Secret Guard to help you oversee the officials below! ”

"Yes!" Chen Gong agreed.

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and asked, "The second prince of Guishan has been found, what do you think?" ”

Xi Zhicai arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you should immediately let this second prince succeed to the throne!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, frowned, and said, "What I'm worried about now is whether Li Jun will be able to resist it in the event of a big war!" After all, for now, it's better if we don't have soldiers! ”

"Your Majesty, one-third of the army under Yue Duo's command is the Dongzhen Army! Due to the short time to surrender to the Moon Duo, this part of the army may not be fully controlled by the Moon Duo! As long as the orthodox heir of Vesudeva ascends the throne as emperor, this part of the people will definitely rebel! And the Xizhen Army under the Li Army is very strong and prestigious, and now with the support of our navy and sufficient food and grass, it is enough to resist the attack of the Yueduo army! The Moon Duo army can't attack for a long time, and there will definitely be problems inside! After all, all forces in the country are not of the same heart as Yue Duo! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Well, then let this Yuekan ascend the throne!" ”

The time came to the end of September, although it was early autumn, but the rain that continued from midsummer did not decrease a little, more than half of Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou suffered from a rare flood in a century.

"Your Majesty, you can't leave this matter alone!" Cai Yan broke into the powerful country and panted, Cao Cao was discussing state affairs with a group of cabinet ministers.

"Presumptuous, this is the council hall, how can you be so reckless!" Cao Cao scolded.

Cai Yan performed a lady's etiquette towards Cao Cao, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the concubines are also for state affairs!" ”

"Oh!?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile and asked, "For what state affairs?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine went to see the Dong family's sister today, and when she passed by a tavern, she heard someone debating fiercely inside, so she went to see ・・・・・・"

Cai Yan suddenly showed an angry look, "I didn't expect those people to say that the current great natural disasters were all caused by Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai exchanged a look.

Cao Cao asked, "Do they say that the current floods in Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou are all because I, the emperor, are inconsiderate of the people's feelings and have repeatedly used swords and soldiers to anger the heavens?" ”

Cai Yan was stunned, "Your Majesty, how do you know?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "I already knew about this matter!" This rumor is not new, it has been around for almost a month! ”

"Your Majesty, why are you still smiling?" Cai Yan said angrily.

Cao Cao smiled: "Okay, if you are angry about this matter, I will be distressed!" ”

Cai Yan didn't expect Cao Cao to suddenly say such a sentence, and he couldn't help but blush. (To be continued.) )
