Ouyang Xiu said to Mei Shengyu,"I should avoid this person and let him stand out." The people who heard this began to clamor and refuse to accept it. After a long time, they were convinced. Su Shi was transferred to Xuzhou Zhizhou. The Yellow River burst at Cao Village and overflowed to Liangshan Lake. It overflowed from the Nanqing River and gathered under Xuzhou City. The water level rose and could not be discharged in time. The city wall was about to be destroyed. The rich people scrambled to leave the city to avoid the flood. Su Shi said,"When the rich leave the city, the people will be shaken. Who will defend the city with me?" I'm here, the flood can't destroy the city walls." So he drove the rich into the city again.

You were the remonstrant and argued vigorously. Han Wei Gong was unhappy, but you did not care. I, Su Shi, have heard you talk about this matter in detail before.
