    The rain is still pouring down.

    Around Luoyang, along the Weishui River, and in the Jinghe River Basin, villages are constantly being submerged by floods.  The soldiers building the river embankment, under the leadership of generals and officials, worked non-stop.  After repairing one place, another place was broken open, another place was broken open, and another place was repaired. It was like a battle of attacking and defending the city, with no one willing to give in.

    The rescue team is also busy, and they can be seen as long as villages are submerged.  As long as ordinary people see them and their boats, their hearts will be filled with hope.

    Although Liu Cong, the king of Han, was in the palace, his heart had already reached various dangerous places.  If those officials had not resolutely stopped him, he would have reached the overturned embankment and the submerged village.

    Letters of information were sent to the study room of the Han Dynasty, and each letter made Liu Cong, the King of Han, feel very happy.  In this era, he is very satisfied that flood relief can be achieved to this extent.  There were very few civilian casualties, and all officials took the lead.

    Finally, after more than 20 days of rain, the rain stopped.

    "It is bright!"

    "It won't rain anymore!"

    The people living in the temporary camps were the first to discover that it was no longer raining. Although they could not see the sun yet, they had bright smiles on their faces and cheered one by one.

    Amid the cheers of the crowd, the clouds parted and the sun emerged.  When a beam of light shines on the earth, people feel extra friendly and warm.

    The rescue team finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the soldiers building the river embankment could also take a break.  As long as it doesn't rain again, the river will never rise again and the banks won't be breached again.

    At this time, the disciples of Luoyang Medical Center began to be busy.  Except for some who stayed in the medical center to continue to see patients and injuries, the rest of the disciples, led by the two director Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, immediately rushed to the villages that were flooded one by one.

    Although the rescue team immediately retrieved all the bodies floating on the water, some bodies still sank to the bottom.  If these corpses are not handled properly and are exposed to sunlight, they will quickly decompose and may cause plague.

    Officials from each county led some county soldiers to first clean up the corpses from the mud, and then buried them deeply. Students from the medical school disinfected them with lime.

    Many people didn¡¯t understand this method, but when they learned that it was a method of preventing plague taught by the King of Han, many people began to follow suit.

    "As long as it is said by the King of Han, it must be reasonable and must be strictly implemented.

    The summer sun is very fierce. After three or four days, the ground will dry out again, and the accumulated water in the submerged villages will be directed elsewhere or evaporate.  After comprehensive disinfection with lime, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo took their disciples to boil a lot of medicine, and asked the people who were rebuilding their homes to drink a bowl first for prevention, and poured the medicine residue around the village.  In this way, the whole village is filled with a medicinal smell.

    Now it¡¯s time to rebuild our homes.

    Those homeless people did not show any signs of depression and were all working enthusiastically.  The King of Han saved their lives and gave them food. Couldn't they rebuild their homes?  Besides, there are soldiers helping them.  They must quickly build their homes, plant crops, and collect grain so that they can pay taxes. They cannot eat the grain given to them by the King of Han in vain!

    Liu Cong's mood also improved, and he had a long-lost play with his ladies and children in the back garden of the Han Palace.

    In the past few months, there has been a severe drought and then continuous rain. I have not been close to my family for a long time.

    "Your Majesty, Mr. Ma Zhong, the Minister of Justice, asked to see you for something important!" The housekeeper from the palace hurried over, saluted Liu Cong and said.

    "Why is this Ma Zhong so blind?" Liu Cong was having fun, and his face darkened.

    "Husband, Master Ma must have something important to do!" the concubine Cai Yu said softly.

    "Yes, husband, my sister is right."

    ¡°Let¡¯s wait for my husband to finish his business and then come enjoy the lotus flowers!¡±

    Several other ladies also said.

    Liu Cong looked at the ladies and was very grateful.  Although there are conflicts between them and they are sometimes jealous, they never stop themselves from handling government affairs. Cai Yu has a lot of credit for all this.

    "Okay, I will definitely come over after I have finished handling the government affairs!"

    "Congratulations to your husband!"

    When Liu Cong came to the study, he saw Ma Zhong walking around the door, looking very anxious. When he saw Liu Cong coming, he hurriedly saluted.

    ?"I see you, my lord!"

    "No need to be polite, stay on your own!" Liu Cong waved his hand, "What's the important thing?"

    "My lord, there is information from Yecheng that Cao Cao may be sending troops!" Ma Zhong said while handing over several pieces of information.

    Liu Cong received the information, opened the envelopes one by one, and looked carefully. Sure enough, they were all used by Cao Jun to dispatch troops and generals, and to transport food and grass.  These signs all indicate that Cao Cao is going to send troops.

    "Is there any news from Youzhou?"

    "Both sides are not fighting again. Gongsun Kang's food and grass are running out, but a batch of food and grass is coming soon. It should be able to be picked up. There is no other battle report yet."

    Liu Cong frowned after hearing this. This was obviously not sending troops to Youzhou.

    "Also, Cao Cao sent Huan Jie to show Jiangdong some time ago!" Ma Zhong added.

    "Oh" Liu Cong nodded, "Come here, please tell Ma Liang, Zhong Yao, Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Jiang Wei and others to come to the palace to discuss matters!"

    "No!"

    The residence of these people was not far from the Han Palace, so they arrived at the meeting hall in a hurry.

    "See my lord!" Everyone saluted Liu Cong.

    "Everyone is safe!"

    "Thank you, Lord!"

    "My lords, please pass on all these pieces of information from the Skynet Camp!"

    A guard took several pieces of information from Liu Cong¡¯s desk and handed them to Ma Liang, Zhuge Liang and others.

    After everyone passed this envelope of information to each other, they all frowned slightly.

    "My Lord, does Cao Cao really want to send troops to attack us?" Ma Liang was the first minister to follow Liu Cong, he said first.

    "The war in Youzhou is stable. At this time, Cao Cao is dispatching troops, and the target is obviously us!" Although Liu Cong's tone was very sure, he still asked, "What do you think?"

    "Lord, with the heavy rain for more than 20 consecutive days, Cao Cao must have thought that we were seriously affected, especially the food and grass, which might be flooded, so he thought this was an opportunity to take back Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and even Luoyang!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.  Lu Fan said slowly.

    "He is simply wishful thinking!" Li Yan said loudly after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, "My lord, we have planned the strategy, and we have not suffered much losses at all. This time Cao Cao sends troops, he will never come back! My lord, our Liangzhou Army invites a fight!"  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
