"It's not good, Prime Minister!"
"The torrential rain for days has caused the water level of the Yellow River to rise rapidly!"
"Now the Yellow River dams in many places in Henan have been washed away by the river, and countless fertile fields have been submerged!"
"The prime minister, please make a quick decision!"
In Xuchang City, Cao Cao is also full of worry these days.
"Didn't the officials reinforce the dam?"
"Why is there still such a large loss, the recent rain seems to have no signs of stopping!"
"Is there any news from Qin Tianjian, when will the rain stop?"
Cao Cao asked angrily.
"Prime Minister, the project to strengthen the embankment is extremely sloppy!"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist such a fierce river."
Xun Yu said quickly.
He couldn't say that the dikes and dams were indeed strengthened every year, but the reinforcements were in the areas where the powerful and ordinary people lived, so no one cared about their lives or deaths.
Even ministers like Xun Yu are not exempt from customs.
After all, there is a huge family standing on top of them. They are officials, and a large part of it is to continue the development of the family.
"Well, it seems that what Jiang Chen said is indeed correct!"
"Why can't the officials of Qintianjian fail to speculate on the recent flood disaster? What are they doing for food?"
Thinking of Jiang Chen reminding everyone two months ago.
Even the common people knew that an unprecedented catastrophe might occur this year, but everyone didn't take it seriously, even Cao Cao.
They felt that Jiang Chen was just scaremongering.
To everyone's surprise, this slap hit their faces hard.
If they had listened to Jiang Chen's advice and made preparations for flood control early, they would not be so passive today. The current heavy rain is only spreading in the Central Plains for the time being.
It has the greatest impact on Cao Cao's territory and Hanzhong.
Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who were in the Yangtze River Basin, were not greatly affected.
However, in the next few days, the rain will gradually move southward, and eventually Sun Quan and Liu Bei will also enjoy that kind of catastrophic scene.
"Prime Minister, at this moment, we must find a way to rescue the victims!"
"The hearts of the people are especially important to the prime minister!"
"If the disaster causes the victims to riot, it may affect the prime minister's rule, and in the end there will only be more terrible consequences!"
Jia Xu reminded.
He didn't continue to say later, I believe Cao Cao can also figure it out.
If the people heard that there was no disaster in Hanzhong, they would all flock to the Hanzhong area. At that time, if Cao Cao had no one in his hands, it would be a waste.
In ancient cold wars, the most important thing is people. If there are no people, how can you dominate the Central Plains?
"The order of the truth, save as much food as possible!"
"Transplant those grains to areas with higher terrain, and be responsible for transferring the people!"
"Don't let those precious food go to waste!"
Cao Cao nodded and agreed with Jia Xu's opinion.
"My lord, for the common people now!"
"They need an outlet, and they must let the people vent their anger!"
"Otherwise, they will accumulate resentment on the prime minister's head, which will be extremely detrimental to the future prime minister's rule!"
Sima Yi next to him said suddenly.
He also didn't understand why Cao Cao asked him to come, but when he came, he had to play a role, so that Cao Cao could value him more.
Cao Cao was actually just putting on airs. After all, Sima Yi had made a lot of contributions last time. If he didn't pretend to take him seriously, he couldn't be paralyzed.
If you don't paralyze him, you won't be able to exploit his weaknesses and take advantage of them.
Cao Cao never gave up his doubts about Sima Yi, so he planned to get close to him, and after getting to know him better, he would try to deal with him.
"Oh, what's Zhongda's opinion?"
Cao Cao did not expect that Sima Yi would speak at this time.
"Back to Prime Minister, there is such a heavy rainstorm and flood disaster!"
"The people heard the news months ago, but why haven't they been done enough until now?"
"Therefore, we must find someone to take responsibility for this time!"
"Let the people understand that the root cause of all this is because of this person's intervention, which made the Prime Minister make a wrong judgment. Only in this way can we eliminate the resentment in the hearts of the people!"
Sima Yi cupped his hands at Cao Cao and said solemnly.
"Zhong Da is right!"
"I don't know what Zhongda's opinion is, who can take the responsibility this time?"
Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi teasingly.
In Cao Cao's eyes, Sima Yi must have tried his best to get rid of the counselors around Cao Cao one by one, so that Cao Cao would rely more and more on him.
After all, when such a big thing happened, an ordinary little character would not be able to bear such a responsibility, and everyone would know that he was a scapegoat at a glance.
It is necessary to have a high enough status and weight to affect Cao Cao's judgment.
And Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and the others who were beside them were also terrified, they wouldn't really take one of them for surgery, right?
If this is the case, then it is necessary to act first and destroy Sima Yi first.It is not a good thing to save him from blowing wind in front of Cao Cao all the time.
"Prime Minister, it's actually very simple!"
"The prime minister is nothing but a fan of the authorities!"
"The answer to everything lies in the officials of the Qin Tianjian, precisely because the officials of the Qin Tianjian strongly stated that there will be no major disasters this year!"
"That's why the Prime Minister listened to their words and made a wrong judgment!"
"The dereliction of duty by the officials of the Qin Tianjian has failed the prime minister's trust in him and the people's expectations of them. Therefore, the prime minister should know how to deal with it!"
"The minister will stop talking nonsense!"
Sima Yi pointed out that Cao Cao was a person who valued power very much. Naturally, he could not be allowed to make decisions lightly. He could only let others do what he did.
Therefore, Sima Yi naturally would not teach Cao Cao what to do, but just provide him with advice and let him make his own decision.
This also made Cao Cao very satisfied.
"This idea is very good, it is indeed the dereliction of duty of the officials of the Qin Tianjian!"
"If they hadn't pledged their lives to the truth, there would be no disaster this year, and the truth would not be misled by them!"
"His heart can be punished!"
"Chuan Wu's order, immediately arrest all the officials of Qin Tianjian, and throw them all into the flood to worship the river god, so as to calm the wrath of the river god!"
"And send officials from all over the country to rescue the people quickly, and save the people from fire and water!"
"This matter is urgent. Wen Ruo, I will leave it to you. Don't tell the world to let everyone know that the truth is also being deceived. Do you understand?"
Cao Cao said coldly.
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
