In the Council Hall of the general's office, the atmosphere was extremely dull. Liu He's face was black to the extreme. Even Zhu ye, who had always been fearless, was afraid to speak at this time.

"It's them. It must be them. Besides them, no one will do anything like this."

Liu He clenched his fists, and his nails were embedded in his palms without knowing it. Cheng Liang, Zhu ye and ye Xiang had followed him for so many years, but they had never seen him so angry.

However, at the thought of the news just reported in the urgent report, who can suppress the anger in his heart?

The content of the urgent report is very simple, just two.

First, six days ago, 40000 reinforcements from Jizhou arrived at Huguan. Under the scheme of Shi Tao and Meng Jian, Guan Yu became ill and hung a high exemption card. Yan Liang ordered people to come to insult him for two consecutive days. After that, Zhang Liao went out to fight, pretending to be defeated and fled back. Yan Liang was caught in a trap and was ambushed by Guan Yu himself. More than 4000 soldiers were destroyed in Jizhou. Yan Liang's right arm was cut and wounded by Guan Yu. After a fierce battle, he fled back to Huguan.

The second news is the reason why Liu He and others are so angry.

Just when Guan Yu was ready to take advantage of the enemy's morale was declining, he conquered Huguan at one stroke. As a result, an extremely important thing happened - the Yellow River burst in Xihe County!

Full 16 river sections were washed away by the flood, which gave birth to the Yellow River water of the Chinese nation. At the moment, it turned into a deadly beast, roaring towards all parts of Xihe County!

According to the situation that Shi Tao and Meng Jian personally arrived at the breakwater to check yesterday, they asserted that all the 16 places were excavated artificially. Although it rains the most in the year at this time of the year, there have been only a few drizzles in recent days, which is not enough to cause such a disaster. Moreover, there are obvious traces of man-made excavation at the river bank that has been washed away.

"Damn it! How innocent the people of Bingzhou are! How can these thieves do it

Zhang Yong, who has always been known for his good temper, is also resentful at this time.

Xunzi frowned and pondered over and over again: "if we succeed in attacking Luoyang City, everything will be fine. Now that we have failed, they will attack our army's morale and damage our Lord's reputation with today's mourning. Of course, this is only the second. The key is that in this way, a cruel name of threatening the son of heaven, killing loyal officials and taking private revenge will be detained on the head of the Lord. At that time, when Yuan Shao and others came to attack, they would be famous for their division. "

"As for the excavation of the Yellow River, it is even more obvious that they have to spend a lot of money, food and manpower to rescue Xihe county and harness the Yellow River. Our army does not know how much money and food will be spent on this matter, but Xihe County originally produces a lot of grain. With such an increase and a decrease, our army will inevitably be short of food and grass. How can we fight? Not to mention the military morale of our army and the possible impact on the morale of the people under control. "

Listening to his analysis, everyone felt a chill rising from the bottom of their feet.

"What a soldier with water, they can really do it!"

Liu he grabs the desk in front of him "creaks and creaks".

"Big brother, you can't be soft on these villains! Ask the elder brother to give an order, and the younger brother will lead the troops in person, and copy all these hundreds of families. Let's see how they can do wrong! "

Cheng Liang bit his teeth and said.

Liu he almost agreed to his proposal, but he didn't lose his mind.

"There's no need for you to intervene in this matter. You can order Zhong Yao and Wang Chen to join hands to investigate and deal with all the people and families involved in, involved in, and involved in this incident, and never tolerate it!"

"Here it is

Cui Jun took the order and summoned a messenger. After a few words, the herald would retreat.

At this time, Xunzi suddenly stopped the messenger.

"Wait a minute!"

Liu He looked at him: "Wen if there is anything else to explain?"

Facing Liu He, Xun Yu said respectfully: "when we immediately let them issue an announcement to tell the whole world about the crimes of Chen, Wang, Wei, Zheng and many other families, none of them can be left behind. In particular, we should emphasize that they have dug up the Yellow River for their own personal interests."

What he said made people confused.

Cui Jun said: "there is no evidence of the excavation of the Yellow River. If it is announced in this way, will they take the opportunity to slander our army in turn?"

Xunzi shook his head.

"They won't have the chance."

"Why not? Although all the aristocratic families in the Sili area who were enemies of our army will be captured this time, and the rest will inevitably flee, there are still a large number of families in the states outside of Sili. They will retaliate more quickly than ever before. "

Cui Jun's words, let Liu He also deeply think.

Seeing Liu he did not understand, Xunzi went on.

"The reason why many aristocratic families dare to make rumors and slander the LORD before is that they control more than half of the scholars in the world, and the scholars are often big families from all over the world, and they speak much more than ordinary people. These people are all in one voice and denounce the Lord. Ordinary people, who do not know the truth, tend to echo what they have not experienced. At that time, how many people in the Han Dynasty can still believe in the Lord? Even in the military, it is inevitable that some people will gradually alienate themselves. "Liu He nodded: "well, I also understand that the right to speak is in their hands. Naturally, what they say is up to them."

This matter frankly is to manipulate public opinion. Liu He, who came from the previous era of network information, is certainly not unfamiliar at all.

"My Lord's Guide." Xun Yu laughed.

"Therefore, we should seize the right to speak quickly when the plot is disintegrated and the forces are attacked. Today, many families have repeatedly made troubles, all of which have been broken by our army. This time, their reputation and prestige have been greatly reduced outside the palace gate. This is a perfect opportunity. On this basis, the Lord announced to the world in the name of the court, who would the people in the world believe? Taking this opportunity, we can get twice the result with half the effort, and the morale of the army and the people will be greatly improved. At that time, the Lord's prestige over the whole world can be further consolidated, and the first step is to seize the right to speak. "

"What is the first step? What about the second and third steps? "

Cheng Liang asked.

Liu He seems to have understood: "Wen ruo's meaning, if you want to really control the right of speech in your own hands, I'm afraid you need to take the scholars from all over the world for their own use?"

Xunzi nodded his head and said, "the Lord is wise and wise. In recent years, the Lord paid little taxes on his government and suppressed bandits. Ordinary people admired him greatly, but scholars were different. Nine out of ten scholars in the world come from different families. Most of them don't have to say much about their attitude towards the Lord. However, whether it is the right to speak or to govern the world, it still needs the obedience of a large number of scholars. But how to attract more scholars? I'm sorry that I can't think of any good strategies for that. Please forgive me. "

"Trouble, it's troublesome. I can't think of it. My brain is useless."

Cheng Liang patted his head, a pair of dislike this thing does not work.

"Well, do as Wen Ruo says. As for the heart of scholars, let me think carefully in the future. Now, the most urgent task is to provide disaster relief. Do you have any good strategies? "

Cui Jun thought for a moment and said, "there are only two remedial measures to deal with the flood. One is to harness the river and the other is to relieve the disaster. Two points are indispensable. They must be carried out at the same time. "

Liu he thought for a moment and made a decision.

"How much grain does our army have in Bingzhou

Cui Jun did not think of the cableway: "there are 970000 stones in Taiyuan County, 820000 stones in Shangdang County, 830000 stones in Yanmen County, and more than 2 million stones in other counties. In addition, Hanoi county and Chang'an had grain reserves of about 1.5 million stones. In addition, the State Treasury has more than 4 million grain reserves. "

"Well, immediately allocate 500000 stone grain from Hanoi county and Taiyuan County, and let Qian Li allocate one million stone grain from each county in the north, and the National Treasury will also allocate one million stone grain. Together with him, he went to Xihe County, where he was in charge of the relief work. In addition, the county soldiers and county soldiers of the surrounding counties immediately went to Xihe county and listened to Qian Li's dispatch. "

The number startled everyone.

"My Lord, the total amount of grain allocated is 3 million stones. Is it too much? If the allocation is carried out according to this amount, even if the autumn grain harvest can be bumper in a few months, our army will also face a food shortage crisis next year. "

Cui Jun man is worried to persuade.

"In my humble opinion, it is better to allocate 1.5 million stones to the disaster relief first, and then try to find another way if necessary after the details of the disaster are reported?"

Liu he did not listen to his suggestion at all.

"No, since they worked hard, they dug up 16 river banks at one time. The disaster area must be very wide. Now nearly 100000 people in Xihe county and tens of thousands of people along the Yellow River near Shangjun and Yunzhong will surely be affected. Even if people are not affected by the disaster, most of the farmland will be deserted, and it will not be finished in one or two years Three million yuan is not enough. We have to prioritize things, so we can't pay much attention at this time. "

"This..."

"Well, I don't need to say more. As for the rest of the business, I will discuss it after I get to Xihe county and find out the specific damage."

As soon as he said this, people were surprised again.

"Why, the Lord wants to go to Xihe County in person?"
