Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Ning Rong is too aware of the horror of the flood, with its devastating force, even a house made of concrete and steel can stand upright, let alone a wooden house in front of two thousand.

"Zhiyuan, don't worry, a certain government soldier is stationed on the other side of the river embankment. If the situation changes, the flood will be released immediately!"

Speaking of this, Xun Yu felt lucky for a while, fortunately he listened to Ning Rong's words before, and built embankments and dug canals.

"Zhiyuan, there are two things that worry me the most!"

Ning Rong looked up at Xun Yu, motioning for him to speak directly.

"First, my lord is now stationed with more than [-] troops to attack Tongguan, and the food and grass can only last for two months. If the river does not recede, the food and grass..."

Hearing this, Ning Rong's eyes darkened, but he remembered Lu Xun and Pang Tong, who were brought to the brink of life and death by himself.

"Secondly, Yuan Shao of Hebei is eyeing the lord covetously. If he deliberately destroys the dam of the Yellow River at this moment, the torrential flood will flow for thousands of miles, and the city of Xu Capital will be in danger..."

Ugh!

This is another unsolvable problem!

Ning Rong scratched his head irritably, this kind of thing is not impossible, if it is really possible for him to do so.

You must know that Xudu is located in the hinterland of Yuzhou, the center of the entire Central Plains, with its back against the southeast of the Songshan Mountains.

Two hundred miles to the north, it can reach the Yellow River directly, while the east is connected to the vast Huanghuai Plain, the south is connected to the affluent Jiangxia County, and the southwest faces the Nanyang Basin.

It can be said that when Ning Rong and others suggested Lidu Xudu at the beginning, it was because of the geographical advantages of this place that the Yellow River Plain can develop agriculture and solve the problem of food and grass supply.

However, the disadvantage has also emerged now, that is, there are no high mountains in the Yellow River Plain to block the river and protect Xudu.

"Wait a minute..."

Ning Rong couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while, and said helplessly.

……

On August [-]rd, the rain in the sky tended to decrease. Ning Rong's face was as gloomy as it was this day. He stood on the embankment of the river bank, looking at the white water of the Yellow River, rolling from time to time under the howling wind. The waves beat against the shore, and the river quickly wet Ning Rong's boots.

"Master Hou, it's dangerous here, you'd better come down!"

The local county magistrate who followed behind was a worried persuasion.

Looking at the river water like a vast ocean, the embankment seems to be in danger of being washed away by the flood at any moment, how can Ning Rong's heart be at peace.

"Is the disaster relief work in Er County ready?" Ning Rong took a deep breath, his eyes flickering, as if he had some calculations in his heart.

"……This……"

Hearing Ning Rong's words, the county magistrate suddenly broke out in sweat.

"What? Now that the river is soaring, the fields are submerged, and the flood disaster is a foregone conclusion, don't you have any countermeasures for flood relief?"

Seeing the county magistrate's hesitation, Ning Rong's face immediately turned down.

"...Hou, Lord Hou, the rain keeps falling, and the whole land is saturated, my officer... I have recruited civilians to station here these days, and I can't get away at all..."

The county magistrate was reprimanded by Ning Rong in front of everyone, his face turned red, and he explained to himself with a sneer.

"Hmph! What a way to get away! This Marquis has repeatedly ordered the counties and counties to fight floods and fight disasters as a whole. As parents and officials, you turned a deaf ear to it and joked about the lives of the people under your rule. If so, then this Marquis will take yours." Life is a joke!"

Ning Rong's entire face was pulled together like a black cloud in the sky.

"Come on, immediately deprive this person of the county magistrate, pull him down and behead him!"

"promise!"

Zhou Cang took a step forward, and took the command with a big knife in his arms.

After finishing speaking, he immediately commanded two guards to step forward to hold the county magistrate, one left and one right, and then Zhou Cang's face flashed a grim smile.

"Master Hou, please spare my life... Lord Hou, please spare my life... This official patrols the embankment day and night, there is no merit but hard work..."

"Chopped!"

Ning Rong, however, was in a state of mania, and refused to listen, waving his hands and ordering coldly to Zhou Cang.

"Oh!"

Zhou Cang raised his knife and dropped it, spraying hot blood on the ground, and soon the river washed away, only a dead head stared at Ning Rong.

"Where is the magistrate?"

Ning Rong didn't even look at it, but asked with a cold face.

"The officer is here!"

The county magistrate was terrified by this scene, and when he heard Ning Rong's question, he stepped forward with trembling legs and saluted in a low voice.

Ning Rong looked at this person coldly with his eyes, his face was covered with the vicissitudes of the years, his hands were thickly calloused, and there was a trace of mending on the hem of the official uniform.

"I now appoint you as the magistrate of this county, and I will take office immediately. I will lead you and my staff to prepare for the disaster relief immediately. Remember, there must be a big battle after a big disaster! If you dare to be negligent and slack, this thief will end up waiting for you!"

Ning Rong's murderous words were poured into everyone's ears with the sound of rain, and seeing the Shangguan with a different head in front of them, everyone's hearts were pounding and they were terrified.

"Subordinate to obey!"

The county magistrate secretly glanced at Ning Rong, swallowed and spit, this is really an opportunity that comes with a risk, the injustice of his own Shangguan's death, Lord Hou is killing chickens to make an example to monkeys!

That's right!

Ning Rong is killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, now it is unusual, of course he knows that the county magistrate is still hardworking, but can hard work prevent big battles from happening?Do key things at critical moments.

"The next official has the guts to ask Lord Hou to expressly..." the county magistrate boldly asked for advice.

"Um……"

Hearing this, Ning Rong's heart was moved, but he realized that he really took it for granted. Although he had sent orders to the counties for flood prevention and disaster relief many times, people in this era are obviously not used to formulating preventive mechanisms, but are always used to waiting until something happens. Find a solution.

Ning Rong looked at those peasants with piercing eyes.

"First, you can check the low-lying places in the county, and relocate all the people who may be submerged due to floods to high ground!

Second, gather up the county's food and medicinal materials for emergencies!

Third, immediately dispatch government servants to maintain law and order in the county, increase personal hygiene, and check the sanitation of the city!

fourth……"

Listening to Ning Rong's one-by-one approach, the county magistrate and all the villagers looked at Ning Rong strangely, and the suspicion in their eyes gradually changed.
