Chapter 3485 The reality in front of you

In the ninth year of Taixing, winter.

The battle between the Great River and the Guhans was in full swing, and in the northern desert of Youzhou, it was already snowing heavily and dripping water turned into ice.

Ordinary snow cannot be called a white disaster, but now this heavy snow is more than three feet deep in thickness. When people walk in the snow and don’t reach their waists, it is really a disaster.

It seemed that God could not bear to see the spread of iron and blood. In the cold wind, Youzhou, which was in constant war, ushered in a huge cooling, but such a sudden heavy snow pushed this miserable land into a desperate situation.

Snowflakes were scattered down like a sky, covering the fields and villages, as if they were to bury people's remaining meager hopes with death.

The simple houses and sheds squeaked under the power of snow, and those that could not be supported were collapsed. And those that were still supporting seemed to break the beams and the earthen walls collapsed at any time at the next moment.

Adults braved the wind and snow to find food, clothes, and firewood to keep warm and warm, while children hugged each other, and their bodies were purple. Whether they were adults or children, they were all trapped in the fear of hunger and confusion about the future in the face of such sudden heavy snow.

There was a dead silence among the fields in Youzhou.

The autumn harvest has been destroyed most of the time in the war, and the heavy snow in early winter has made the arrival of next spring seem to be infinitely delayed. Young and middle-aged men either died on the battlefield or were arrested to serve as soldiers. The elderly, weak, women and children left behind can only look at the vast snow helplessly and welcome death in despair.

In Yuyang, Jixian, and the entire Youzhou are shrouded under the white demons.

In the midst of hunger and cold, people can only rely on weak fire to try to dispel the severe cold and ignite hope for life. There are no radiators these days, and all cold-proof facilities rely on fire. Once the hot air cannot be preserved in a small space, it will basically be of little use, and it may even be scorched on the front but freezing on the back.

From the Northern Region to Youzhou, all military operations seemed to have been pressed.

In this kind of weather, when a large army is dispatched, it is not called killing the enemy, but seeking death.

The once prosperous village is now only broken walls and ruins, and it is hard to get smoke from cooking.

It was once a land of fish and rice on the northern frontier, and now it is full of hungry people.

There is an extremely scarce supply for basic living.

Because of the war, Cao's army mobilized a large amount of labor, which further led to severe damage to Youzhou's original agricultural production and a sharp decline in grain output, making it difficult to meet the basic living needs of the people. The snow disaster even worsened this situation, and the people of Youzhou had to face the dilemma of not filling their stomachs and not covering their bodies.

In addition, wars were flying, a large number of houses were destroyed, and many people were displaced, so they could only sleep on the streets or hide in ruins. The snow disaster made these homeless people even more miserable, trembling in the severe cold. Due to the lack of sufficient warming measures, these refugees became sick or even frozen to death due to the cold.

Under the double blow of war and snow disaster, the social order in Youzhou was almost collapsed.

In order to survive, robbery and killing also spread under the dark shadows, and human flesh was openly hung on the trees to hawk...

Under such a harsh situation, at such a difficult time, the Cavalry finally stood up and began to organize the people to sweep the snow and clear the way, find food, cut down firewood, and save the casualties.

Even though the road was blocked with heavy snow, traffic was isolated, and the supply of food and forage became extremely difficult, under such circumstances, the Cavalry Army still took care of the villages around the town as much as possible, allowing as many people as possible to gather in the city and place them centrally.

In ancient times, it was not uncommon to dispatch soldiers to assist in disaster relief.

But the effect of treatment is the difference between the top and bottom...

For example, the Yellow River was flooded. The final resolution was to issue 100,000 Ding Zhuang from Bianliang, Wei Hui, Daming, and tens of thousands of officials to go to Zhihe. The western section of the Dahe River was finally repaired and an artificial river was dug, called Jialu River. It was still used in later generations, but in the eastern section, a small yellow man was dug out...

So the key is not whether the natural disaster is big or not, but what the people doing things are doing when facing disasters!

It was under such circumstances that Liu Ye arrived in Ji County.

Zhao Yun didn't see him the first few times he asked for a meeting.

He stayed in the inn, no one liked him, and even had a shortage of food.

After all, now the soldiers of the Cavalry Army are collecting useful materials everywhere, digging out the ice and snow to find burning dead branches of broken trees and organizing the people to save themselves. Who would care about Liu Ye and others at the post station?

When Liu Ye arrived in Ji County, he thought that Zhao Yun's power would be greeted.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Yun ignored him 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, the person who admits this thing means supreme. If you don’t admit it, you just have some hairy wood hanging.

Then, the minor officials in the Northern Territory of the Cavalry looked at Liu Ye with contempt and said, "The Protector is not available!"

At first, Liu Ye thought it was Zhao Yun who deliberately wanted to put on airs and turned Liu Ye away, but later he found out that it was Zhao Yun who was really busy.

Cao's army ran away, leaving Zhao Yun with a mess.

Poor and white.

Zhao Yun cannot say that this is all about his ex. If you have any questions, go to his ex. Why do you come to me?

Zhao Yun couldn't bear to see that the people of Youzhou were frozen to death in the heavy snow, because Zhao Yun had suffered these hardships back then, and he knew how to suffer from starvation and coldness!

Therefore, Zhao Yun did not say that the sufferings of the people of Youzhou were all Cao Cao's business, but when the snow disaster came, he issued an order to control the disaster and began to make a roundabout way.

The military and political grasp is definitely not something that can be included in just a few words.

Zhao Yun can almost say that he was rushing the rescue of such large-scale snow disasters, the allocation of manpower and material resources throughout Youzhou, and the arrangement of manpower and material resources were put on the shelves. After all, he was the highest commander. Even if he asked the General of the Cavalry and went back and forth, and then did things after the reply was made, the people suffering from Youzhou might be frozen and hard.

This is a whole prefecture and county!

Even if Youzhou is smaller than other prefectures and counties, the population is a little thinner, but after all, it is a prefecture and county, and the matter is so complicated that it is beyond Zhao Yun's imagination, but he still supports it.

This is due to Zhao Yun's previous resumption and disposal of refugees under the cavalry for a period of time...

Therefore, Zhao Yun still understands the basic measures for disaster management and relief.

Perhaps at the beginning, Zhao Yun had more or less intentions to escape the edict brought by Liu Ye, but with the development of the disaster relief work, Zhao Yun gradually threw some edict behind his head and began to command with all his heart, allocating manpower and material resources to plan and control the overall situation.

At the same time, the soldiers and military academy in the Cavalry Army had some opinions about Zhao Yun not continuing to attack Jizhou, but these chaotic voices gradually disappeared after the disaster relief operation was launched.

The human heart and military spirit seem to be very complicated, but at the moment, it seems very simple.

If you want to master the hearts of the people and build the military spirit, it is not something that can be taken by mistake or taken advantage of the situation, nor can it be created overnight. It is something that gradually appears and formed under this long-term influence.

The thanks from the people of Youzhou, the rolling tears and sweat, removed the snow and melted the ice.

In fact, the people also know who is right and who is wrong, even many people in Youzhou do not recognize a few big words.

The people and gentry who survived in Youzhou were inevitably panic, feared, and doubted about the arrival of Zhao Yun and others. They felt that the Cao army was unreliable, and the cavalry army might be similar. After all, the world is as black as crows. Now the order of the Han Dynasty is chaotic. Even as long as the army that is not killed or plundered can be called the benevolent army. Even if Zhao Yun would ask his subordinates to help the people with disaster relief!

Although Zhao Yun and others were still the Han Dynasty, they were invaders from a certain perspective. It is normal for the people and gentry of Youzhou to distrust Zhao Yun and others.

However, after the initial shock, these people who stayed in Youzhou were moved and then convinced.

More and more people gathered under the three-color flag of the cavalry, and the order in Youzhou was slowly recovering in the midst of a disaster...

The government is originally an institution established by people in the social system to fight against natural disasters. A person's power is small in front of nature, but the organized manpower is great. How to maintain a good social order is the responsibility of the government, rather than being pushed to the people and let the people solve the problems themselves.

In the ancient economic system and social security were difficult to be sound, and it was impossible for every ordinary citizen to enjoy basic protection. However, as long as the people could feel that the government was doing their best instead of perfunctorily, even if the final result was death, the people of Youzhou would not have much resentment.

Of course, there is no need for fun at any time. Due to accidents and disasters, some people will try to take risks and plunder money and property. In the Han Dynasty, the custom of corpses and the custom of infiltration in the integrity of the body will also conflict with the requirements of disaster relief and management. Even if people on one street are hostile to another street, people in one village will beat people in another village, these phenomena also occur from time to time.

Some people have set their sights on the relief food and grass distributed by Zhao Yun's army, trying to take more greed and more...

At this time, Zhao Yun's orderliness and calmness were fully demonstrated.

If you have small problems, just deal with them in small ways, and give them good advice and explain the truth.

If you have a big problem, then deal with it immediately and set an example.

The most critical issue in the snow disaster is still about eating and keeping cold.

There is no food or grass on the market. Even if some people still have a little food in their hands, they are hidden deeply and will not be sold.

Military rations must be guaranteed first, and the people must also be relieved. At this time, Zhao Yun's allocation ability was demonstrated.

Because it takes a lot of wood to keep warm, organizing people to cut down trees outside the city has become an important matter that must be done every day in the severe snow disaster and cold. In this case, labor-for-relief has become possible, and those lazy people are also stripped out of blind relief.

The strong man went out to cut down trees, while the strong woman cleared the snow in the city and on the roads.

The elderly, the weak and young men and women are responsible for miscellaneous things like cooking, washing, sewing, etc.

Under Zhao Yun's deployment, the people in Ji County temporarily formed a big family and divided their work and cooperated. There were still people who died of frostbite, but it was much better. At least these people knew that as long as they survived the severe cold, there would still be spring.

When the order in Youzhou began to be established again and the people who remained in Youzhou began to abide by their respective responsibilities, the rest began to slowly move on track, and hope gradually ignited in the eyes of the people.

Liu Ye looked and thought.

Finally, he took off his brocade robe representing the angel, took off his tall crown, and just wore a robe and a lintel, and registered supplies with those ordinary officials and counted food and grass...

After the disaster relief came to an end, the number of frozen and starved to death began to be controlled, a minor official found Liu Ye wearing an ordinary robe and told him that Zhao Yun was free now and could see him.

Liu Ye was born in Huainan, and he was also considered a relative of the Han Dynasty, and was said to be the "King of Huainan".

But there were several "King of Huainan" in the Han Dynasty. In addition to Ying Bu, who obviously did not have the surname Liu, there were three Kings of Huainan, and one of them was killed because of a rebellion. Therefore, Liu Ye's "Han clan relative" actually had a little bit of Liu's big ears.

No matter which lineage Liu Ye came from, he was very famous in Huainan and was a famous scholar at that time.

From a certain perspective, Liu Ye's identity as a "Han clan" is like a master's and doctoral degree certificate in later generations. When he didn't know him, he could be used to prove that he was different, that's all. Liu Ye was able to stand out among the many "famous scholars" in Shandong, but he could not be named a "Han clan".

Liu Ye is self-aware, and many people are defeated by their ignorance of themselves, or only know others but not themselves.

And what's interesting is that in history, Liu Ye's advice was often proven to be correct, and even a strategy that could change the entire strategic situation. Unfortunately, it was not adopted at that time.

For example, when Liu Ye first entered Sichuan and Sichuan, he suggested to Cao Cao that he would send troops to fight immediately. Cao Cao did not agree, but as a result, he would not be able to fight after Liu Bei had gained a stable foothold and wanted to fight.

Later, Guan Yu died at the hands of Eastern Wu. Liu Bei was angry and raised an army. 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 Eastern Wu together, saying that the journey from Sichuan to Eastern Wu was long and the road was rugged. Even if Sichuan and Shu were defeated, they could not defend it. In the end, Cao's family was cheaper, but Cao Pi did not listen...

Liu Ye returned to the inn and originally wanted to change into a brocade robe representing the emperor and put on his head crown. But he found that he had been blowing the wind and snow outside these days. Not only was his hair scattered and dirty, but he even had several holes on his hands because of the freezing cracks, and several silks were hooked out of the brocade robe...

Liu Ye smiled bitterly, shook his head, put the brocade robe back, did not wear a crown, and did not even take a scepter. He just washed up and packed up his scattered hair, and came to see Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was wearing a thin armor. When he saw Liu Ye dressing in this outfit, he felt a little more favorable. He signaled that the guards would send him hot soup and asked Liu Ye to sit down.

Liu Ye thanked him, then sat down and drank slowly with the hot soup.

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Ye.

Zhao Yun actually doesn't like "Shandong Famous Scholars".

Because Zhao Yun is not from a high school, he does not recognize or understand those "famous scholars" who say that there is nothing to do and does not have 500,000 yuan in his family. However, Liu Ye's arrival and what Liu Ye did in the past few days made Zhao Yun know that among these "Shandong famous scholars", not all of them are bastards.

At least Liu Ye’s performance so far has been recognized by Zhao Yun.

I learned from the soldiers and officials that Liu Ye has been living outdoors in the wind and snow these days, braved the cold and worked with the officials. When he was hungry, he would eat cakes that were as cold as stones. When he was thirsty, he would grab a handful of snow and stuff it into his mouth. When he was sleepy, he would lie on the hay and sleep. He did not say that he was a royal family member, Shandong celebrity, so he would have to treat him.

The frostbite and cracked holes on Liu Ye’s face and hands proved himself, and it also made him come to Zhao Yun…

"If you want to be absent, you can avoid talking." Zhao Yun said lightly, "I am the guardian under the command of the cavalry, not given by the emperor. The emperor's emperor's edict should be handed over to our master's place and sent to this place. If the courtesy is not in line with it, I will not accept it!"

Liu Ye smiled bitterly, then patted his chest, abdomen and sleeves, "Please look, General, why are there any edicts on his body?"

Liu Ye guessed that this would be the case, so he didn't bring an edict to see Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun then smiled a little, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Ye has a word, don't know whether it should be said or not?" Liu Ye said.

Zhao Yun's eyebrows moved and nodded slightly.

"The general's move can help the cavalry win the hearts of the people of Youzhou, but it is difficult to get the intentions of the people of Hezhou and Henan." Liu Ye looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Youzhou is very hard, so he has enough food and clothing, but he is not like this. The people are too stupid. Today, they have food and clothing and praise the morality of the cavalry. Can the general know that he might praise the Prime Minister yesterday?"

Liu Ye’s problem is very sharp.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

Liu Ye smiled, "As a minister of the Han Dynasty, Ye did not want to see the people suffer. However, the disputes in the world were not because of the Prime Minister of the Cavalry, but because of the different places and customs! A general can break the army and trap the city, but can he move mountains and rivers? It is difficult to know the suffering of Youzhou! Since this is the case, how can the general know that the laws of the Cavalry can also benefit Hebei? If it is not good, it will be harmful! The demise of the Former Qin Dynasty is not far away!"

Liu Ye did not talk about the great righteousness of the world, did not bring out the emperor to suppress Zhao Yun, nor did he say that the cavalry had transgressed and had a ill-gotten plan. He just told a fact.

Youzhou is different from Jizhou and Yuzhou, so Guanzhong is naturally different from Shandong!

If the policies implemented by the Cavalry in Guanzhong are beneficial to Guanzhong, will it be able to be successfully carried out in Shandong?

This is obviously unlikely.

Liu Ye also pointed out the reason, that is, the mountains and rivers are different, and the customs are different.
