In the spring of the third year of Yuanguang, the Yellow River moved and flowed southeast from Dunqiu.
When the magistrate of Dongqiu County received the report, he went to investigate in person together with the county secretary and the county lieutenant. He wrote urgent reports within a few days and sent them to the county capital by express horses.
The knights worked day and night to present the report to the governor of Dongjun. The governor was shocked and sent people to Dongyu while writing a memorial, sealing the urgent report from Dongyu and sending it to Chang'an at high speed.
The diversion of the Yellow River is of great significance. If the river is not blocked and the people are not relocated in time, the losses caused will be incalculable.
After the report was sent, the governor of Dong County was still worried. He summoned the officials who were familiar with hydrology and the elders in the county. After careful inquiry, he sent a letter to the governors of Donghai County and Jinan County on the same day, hoping that the two counties could take precautions in advance. With the direction of the flood this time, the counties and prefectures in the southeast of Dunqiu would be the first to be affected.
