The battle between Dahe and Weihan is raging, while in the northern desert of Youzhou, it is already snowing heavily and dripping water turns to ice.
Ordinary snow cannot be called a white disaster, but the current heavy snowfall is more than three feet deep. When a person walks in the snow, it is directly up to the waist, which is really a disaster.
It seems that even God can't stand the spread of iron and blood. In the cold wind, the war-torn Youzhou has ushered in a major cooling, but such a sudden heavy snow has pushed this miserable land even further.
Toward a desperate situation.
Snowflakes were falling from the sky like a blanket, covering the fields and villages, seeming to bury people's remaining meager hope together with death.
The simple houses and shacks creaked under the force of the snow. Those that could not be supported would collapse. And those that were still supporting seemed to have their beams broken and earthen walls collapsed at any moment.
The adults braved the wind and snow to find food, clothes, and firewood to keep warm from the cold, while the children hugged each other and were covered in bruises from the cold. Both adults and children fell into the fear of hunger in the face of such sudden heavy snow.
and confusion about the future.
There was deathly silence among the fields in Youzhou.
Most of the autumn harvest has been destroyed in the war, and the heavy snow in early winter makes the arrival of next spring seem to be delayed indefinitely. Young and middle-aged men either died on the battlefield or were captured and sent to the army, leaving behind old men.
Weak women and children can only look helplessly at the vast white snow and welcome death in despair.
In Yuyang, Jixian, and the entire Youzhou, they are shrouded under the white devil.
Suffering from hunger and cold, people can only rely on weak fires to try to dispel the severe cold and ignite the hope of survival. There are no radiators these days, and all facilities to keep out the cold rely on fire. Once the hot air cannot be kept in a small space,
Then it won't be of much use, and it may even be burnt on the front and frozen on the back.
From the Northern Territory to Youzhou, all military operations seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
In this kind of weather, when the army is dispatched, it is not called killing the enemy, but called seeking death.
The once prosperous village now has only ruins and ruins, and smoke can hardly be emitted.
What was once a land of plenty on the northern frontier is now filled with hungry people.
Basic living supplies are extremely scarce.
Because of the war, Cao Jun mobilized a large number of laborers, and these laborers further caused serious damage to Youzhou's original agricultural production, and the grain output dropped significantly, making it difficult to meet the people's basic living needs. The snow disaster aggravated this situation.
The people of Youzhou had to face the dilemma of not having enough food to eat and not enough clothing to cover their bodies.
Coupled with the raging war, a large number of houses were destroyed, and many people were displaced and had no choice but to sleep on the streets or hide in ruins. The snow disaster made these homeless people even more miserable. They were shivering in the severe cold. Due to the lack of adequate heating measures,
These refugees fell ill from the cold and even froze to death.
Under the double blow of war and snowstorms, Youzhou's social order almost collapsed.
In order to survive, robbery and killing also spread under the shadow of darkness, and human flesh was openly hung on trees for sale...
Under this extremely bad situation, at such a difficult moment, the Hussars finally stood up and began to organize the people, clearing snow to clear roads, looking for food, cutting firewood, and saving casualties.
Even though the roads were blocked by heavy snow, traffic was isolated, and the supply of food and fodder became extremely difficult, under such circumstances, the Hussars still took care of the villages around the town as much as possible, allowing as many people as possible to gather in the city.
Centrally placed.
In ancient times, it was not unusual for soldiers to be dispatched to assist in disaster relief.
But the difference in treatment effect is up to down...
For example, in the Dayuan Dynasty, when the Yellow River was flooded, the final decision was to send 100,000 soldiers from Bianliang, Wei Hui, and other famous people to the river together with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to control the river. The western section of the river was finally repaired and a river was dug.
The artificial river, called Jialu River, was still used in later generations, but in the eastern section, a minion was dug out...
So the key is not whether the natural disaster is big or not, but what the people doing it do when facing the disaster!
It was under such circumstances that Liu Ye arrived in Jixian County.
Zhao Yun didn't see him the first few times he asked to see him.
While staying in the post house, no one treated him well, and there was even a shortage of food.
After all, the hussars and soldiers are now collecting usable supplies, digging through the ice and snow to find flammable broken wood and dead branches, and organizing people to save themselves. Who cares about Liu Ye and the others at the inn?
When Liu Ye arrived at Jixian, he thought he would be greeted by Zhao Yun showing off his power.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Yun ignored him at all and just left him at the inn.
Liu Ye was wearing brocade clothes and holding a scepter representing the emperor...
Well, he "found" another one.
Anyway, in this thing, the one who accepts the account represents the supreme, and the one who doesn't accept the account is just hung with some long-haired wood.
Then, the military officials in the Hussars Northern Territory looked at Liu Ye with disdain and said, "The Protector is not available!"
At first, Liu Ye thought it was Zhao Yun who was trying to put on airs so that Liu Ye would be rejected. However, he later found out that Zhao Yun was really busy.
Cao Jun ran away, leaving a mess for Zhao Yun.
One is poor and two is white.
Zhao Yun cannot say that this is all the fault of his ex. If you have problems, just go to your ex. Why are you coming to me?
Zhao Yun couldn't bear to see the people of Youzhou freezing to death and starving to death in the heavy snow, because Zhao Yun had suffered such hardships back then, and he knew the pain of starving and freezing!
Therefore, Zhao Yun did not say that the suffering of the people in Youzhou was all Cao Cao's fault. Instead, when the snow disaster came, he issued an order to control the disaster and began to take action.
The military and political affairs are grasped at once. This is definitely not something that can be summed up in just a few words.
Regarding the treatment of this large-scale snow disaster, the deployment of manpower and material resources throughout Youzhou, Zhao Yun can almost be said to have rushed the ducks. After all, he is the highest commander. Even if he asked General Hussar for instructions,
If you go back and forth and wait until you recover before doing anything, the people affected by the disaster in Youzhou may freeze to death.
This is an entire state!
Even though Youzhou is smaller than other states and counties, and its population is also thinner, it is a state and county after all, and things are more complicated than Zhao Yun imagined, but he still persevered.
This is due to the fact that Zhao Yun had done refugee recruitment and treatment for a period of time under the Husband...
Therefore, Zhao Yun still understands the basic measures for disaster management and relief.
Perhaps at the beginning, Zhao Yun had some intention of evading the edict brought by Liu Ye, but as the disaster relief work progressed, Zhao Yun gradually forgot about the edict and began to
Command wholeheartedly, deploy manpower and material resources, strategize and control the overall situation.
At the same time, the soldiers and military schools among the Hussars originally had some opinions about Zhao Yun not continuing to attack Jizhou southward, but these chaotic voices gradually disappeared after the disaster relief operations were carried out.
The human heart and the soul of the army seem to be very complicated when talking about it, but when it comes to the specific situation, it seems to be very simple.
Wanting to control people's hearts and build military souls is not something that can be taken advantage of or opportunistically, nor can it be created overnight. It is something that is gradually revealed and formed under this long-term influence.
The thanks one after another from the people of Youzhou, and the rolling tears and sweat, removed the snow and melted the ice.
In fact, the people know who is right and who is wrong, even if many people in Youzhou don't recognize a few big characters.
The people and gentry who survived in Youzhou were inevitably panicked, fearful, and doubtful about the arrival of Zhao Yun and others. They felt that Cao Jun was unreliable, and the Hussars were probably the same. After all, the world was as dark as crows, and the order of the Han Dynasty was now chaotic, even
As long as the army does not kill and loot indiscriminately everywhere, it can be called a benevolent army. It is even less expected that Zhao Yun will let his soldiers and military schools come to help the people with disaster relief!
Although Zhao Yun and others still claim to be big men, from a certain perspective, they are invaders. It is normal for the people and squires of Youzhou to distrust Zhao Yun and others.
However, these people who stayed in Youzhou were filled with emotion after the initial shock, and then became convinced.
More and more people are gathering under the three-color flag of the Hussars. The order of Youzhou is slowly recovering despite the great disaster...
The government is originally an institution established by people in the social system to fight against natural disasters. The power of a person is small in the face of nature, but the organized manpower is great, and how to maintain a good social order is
The responsibilities of the government should not be delegated to the people and let the people solve the problems themselves.
It is difficult for the ancient economic system and social security to be sound, and it is impossible for every ordinary person to enjoy basic security. However, as long as the people can feel that the government is doing its job with all its heart, instead of being perfunctory and shirkful, then even the final
The result is still death, and the people of Youzhou will not have much resentment.
Of course, the spirit of fun is indispensable at all times. Due to accidents and disasters, some people will try to take risks and plunder property. Moreover, the custom among the Han people regarding the integrity of the corpse and burial in peace will also conflict with the requirements of disaster relief and management.
. Even people in one street are hostile to another street, and people in one village attack people in another village. These phenomena also happen from time to time.
There are also some people who are eyeing the relief food and grass distributed by Zhao Yun's army, trying to take advantage of it...
At this time, Zhao Yun's orderliness and calmness were fully demonstrated.
If you have a small problem, deal with it in a small way, give good advice and explain the truth.
If it is a big problem, deal with it immediately and decisively to serve as a warning to others.
During the snow disaster, the most critical issues are still eating and keeping out the cold.
There is no food for sale on the market. Even if some people still have some food in their hands, they have hidden it deeply and will not sell it at all.
Military rations must be guaranteed first, and the people must also be relieved. At this time, Zhao Yun's deployment ability is displayed.
Because a large amount of wood is needed to keep out the cold, organizing people to go outside the city to cut down trees has become an important task that must be done every day in the severe cold of snow disasters. Under such circumstances, it has become possible to provide work-for-relief, and it also allows those who
The lazy are separated from blind relief.
The strong men go out to cut down trees, while the strong women clear the snow in the city and on the roads.
The old, weak and young men and women are responsible for chores such as cooking, washing, sewing and so on...
Under Zhao Yun's coordination, the people in Jixian County temporarily became like a big family, with each division of labor and cooperation. There are still people who suffer from frostbite and frostbite, but they are much better. At least these people know that as long as they survive
After the severe cold, there is still spring.
When order was re-established in Youzhou and the people who remained in Youzhou began to abide by their respective responsibilities, the remaining things began to slowly go on the right track, and hope gradually ignited in the eyes of the people.
Liu Ye looked and thought.
Finally, he took off the brocade robe representing the angels and the high crown. He just wore a Ge robe and a silk scarf, and registered supplies and counted food and grass with the ordinary officials...
After the disaster relief came to an end and the number of people who died of freezing and starvation began to come under control, a petty official found Liu Ye, who was wearing an ordinary Ge robe, and told him that Zhao Yun was now free and could see him.
Liu Ye was born in Huainan. He can also be regarded as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and is said to be of the "Huainan King" lineage.
But there were several "Huainan kings" in the Han Dynasty. In addition to Yingbu, who was obviously not named Liu, there were three Huainan kings, and a family among them was killed because of rebellion. Therefore, Liu Ye's "Han Dynasty clan"
Honey, actually, it smells a little like Liu Da Er.
No matter which lineage Liu Ye came from, he was very famous in Huainan and was a celebrity at that time.
From a certain perspective, Liu Ye's status as a "clan member of the Han Dynasty" is like the academic certificate of a master's or doctorate in later generations. When someone doesn't know him, he can use it to prove that he is different, and that's it.
Liu Ye was able to stand out among the many "famous people" in Shandong just because of his reputation as a "clan member of the Han Dynasty".
Liu Ye is self-aware, but many people fail because of their ignorance of themselves, or they only know others but not themselves.
And what's interesting is that in history, Liu Ye's advice has often been proven to be correct, and it may even be a strategy that may change the entire strategic situation, but it is a pity that it was not adopted at the time.
For example, when Liu Bei first entered Sichuan and Shu, Liu Ye suggested to Cao Cao to send troops to conquer immediately, but Cao Cao did not agree. As a result, when Liu Bei had a stable footing and tried to fight again, he could not win.
Later, Guan Yu died at the hands of Soochow, and Liu Bei was angry and raised troops. Emperor Sun immediately pretended to be a grandson to Cao Pi. Liu Ye suggested that Cao Pi and Liu Bei form an alliance to destroy Soochow together, saying that the journey from Sichuan to Soochow was long and rugged.
, even if Sichuan and Shu were defeated, they couldn't defend it, and finally took advantage of the Cao family, but Cao Pi didn't listen...
Liu Ye returned to the inn. He originally wanted to put on the brocade robe representing the emperor and put on a crown, but he found that he had been outside in the wind and snow for the past few days. Not only was his hair messy and dirty, but his hands also had several cracks due to the cold.
Son, hooked out several threads from the brocade robe...
Liu Ye smiled bitterly, shook his head, and put the brocade robe back. He did not put on a crown or even a scepter. He simply washed himself, tidied up his messy hair, and came to see Zhao Yun.
.
Zhao Yun was wearing a set of thin armor. Seeing Liu Ye dressed like this, he felt a little better in his heart and signaled for the guards to bring hot soup and asked Liu Ye to sit down.
Liu Ye thanked him, then sat down and drank the hot soup slowly.
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Ye.
Zhao Yun actually doesn't like "Shandong celebrities" very much.
Because Zhao Yun was not from a high background, he did not recognize or understand those "celebrities" who had nothing to do but said who did not have half a million yuan in their family. However, Liu Ye's arrival and what Liu Ye had done in the past few days
What he did was to let Zhao Yun know that not all of these "Shandong celebrities" were bastards.
At least Liu Ye's performance so far has been recognized by Zhao Yun.
I learned from the soldiers and minor officials that Liu Ye had been braving the wind and snow and the severe cold in the past few days, working outdoors with the minor officials. When he was hungry, he would eat pancakes that were as hard as rocks together, and when he was thirsty, he would do the same.
He grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it in his mouth. When he was sleepy, he just lay on the hay and slept. He didn't say that he was a member of the royal family and a Shandong celebrity, so he needed any special treatment.
The frostbite and cracked wounds on Liu Ye's face and hands proved himself, and that's why he came to Zhao Yun...
"Sir, if you want to create a estrangement, you can avoid talking about it." Zhao Yun said calmly, "This person is the Protector under the command of Qiusi, and was not given by the Emperor. The Emperor's edict should be delivered to my lord. It is inconsistent with etiquette to send it here."
, I can’t bear it!』
Liu Ye smiled bitterly, then patted his chest, abdomen and sleeves, "General, please see, is there any order on this person?"
Liu Ye guessed that this would be the case, so he didn't bring an edict to see Zhao Yun at all.
Only then did Zhao Yun smile, "Sir, you have worked hard these days."
"Ye has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Liu Ye said.
Zhao Yun frowned and nodded slightly.
"The general's move can help Huqi win the hearts of the people in Youzhou, but it is difficult to win the hearts of the people in Hebei and Henan." Liu Ye looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Youzhou is very miserable, so the food and clothing are enough, but this is not the case in Hebei and Henan."
"The people are so stupid. Today they have food and clothing, and they praise the virtues of the hussars. Does the general know that he praised the prime minister yesterday?"
Liu Ye's question is very sharp.
Zhao Yun frowned slightly.
Liu Ye smiled and said, "As a minister of the Han Dynasty, Ye does not want to see the people suffer. However, the disputes in the world are not caused by the prime minister, but because of the different places and customs! A general can defeat an army and capture a city.
Can be moved
Are there mountains and rivers? The suffering of Youzhou is difficult to understand in Hebei and Henan! If this is the case, how can the general know that the method of Hussar in Guanzhong will also benefit Hebei and Henan? If it is not good, it will definitely harm him! The fall of the former Qin Dynasty has not yet happened.
Far away!』
Liu Ye did not talk about the righteousness of the world, did not bring out the emperor to suppress Zhao Yun, nor did he say that the Qiaoqi was arrogant and had evil intentions. He just told a fact.
Youzhou is different from Jizhou and Yuzhou, so Guanzhong and Shandong are also different!
If the policies implemented by Huqi in Guanzhong are beneficial to Guanzhong, they will surely be carried out smoothly in Shandong?
This is obviously unlikely.
Liu Ye also pointed out the reason for this, which is that the mountains and rivers are different and the customs are different.
