In July of the fourth year of Yuanguang, the Yellow River broke at the Dingtao mouth again, it was summer, and the heavy rain for many days increased the water potential, and the river drained for thousands of miles.In fact, there is an inseparable causal relationship between this break and the last time.Zheng and Ji Huang made great efforts to block the breach of Dunqiu, but they failed to solve the fundamental problem, and the river flowed southeast from the Guzi River to Juyeze.As soon as summer comes, the amount of water soars, and the barely built embankment immediately collapses, and the Dingtao country bears the brunt of it and becomes an ocean.The Son of Heaven was so angry that he almost fainted.Just when the preparations for the Western Expedition were in full swing, and when the Son of Heaven thought that the sacrifice to the gods had been a great success and he had obtained the mandate of heaven, the Yellow River, which had just been successfully blocked, broke again, which undoubtedly slapped him in the face and made him a joke.How to face the accusations of the government and the opposition, how to face the imminent heroic group's westward expedition, can the Son of Heaven be in turmoil, stunned, except for his face being red for a while and white for a while, there is no reaction at all.Han Anguo and the others were frightened and hurriedly called out loudly.After a long while, the Son of Heaven let out a long breath and waved his hand weakly."
Han Gong, you act as the prime minister, first convene the ministers to discuss and see how to deal with it.I'm feeling a little unwell and need to rest. ”"Only" Han Anguo didn't dare to slack off, and responded loudly, asking Sang Hongyang to summon the imperial doctor, take care of the Son of Heaven, and withdraw from the hall with Zheng Shi and others.Zheng's face was as pale as dirt at the time, and he followed closely.He is one of the responsible people, and the Yellow River has broken again, and his responsibility cannot be shirked.If the Son of Heaven wants to find a scapegoat to confess to the people of the world, he is undoubtedly the most suitable one.They didn't go far, but they had an urgent matter in the side hall.Taking their seats, they looked at each other, not knowing where to start for a while.It was in a hurry, and they were not prepared at all, and they were all a little panicked.After a while, Xu Le and others arrived, and Feng Zhao discussed countermeasures with Han Anguo and others.Han Anguo has the highest official position and the longest age, he first stabilized his mind and asked the first question: "How many counties and counties will be affected by this break" Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew.Seeing this, Han Anguo had to ask King Wuqiu Shou to ask the Son of Heaven to call the map and estimate the damaged area.As soon as the words came out, they were vetoed by Sang Hongyang."
The maps of the world are all in Chang'an, and there are only maps of the Western Regions here, and there is no map of Shandong."
Han Anguo suddenly realized, knew that he was speechless, and quickly closed his mouth.In order to worship the gods, the Son of Heaven has been in Ganquan Palace for nearly a year.In order to prepare for the war in Hexi, the Son of Heaven has a map of Hexi by his side, and the other maps are in Chang'an, so he is anxious where to find them.Seeing Han Anguo's embarrassment, the master said: "Although there is no map, there are many Shandong people here, and according to the trend of the river, the affected areas can be roughly analyzed.Let's get a rough plan first, and then send someone back to Chang'an to call the map, go to Shandong for on-the-spot inspections, and it's not too late to verify each other. ”Han Anguo nodded again and again.He is a native of Liang and was named Anhou, just southwest of Dingtao.He has done the domestic history of Liang and is also familiar with the situation around Liang State.The master father Yan and Yan An are both Qi people, and they also have some understanding of the terrain of Shandong.They calmed down and analyzed it, and then they felt that this break was not as serious as they imagined, at least it would not be more troublesome than the last one, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.However, no one came to a conclusion.The actual stakes are one thing, and the invisible harm is more troublesome.The Yellow River broke again, proving that the Son of Heaven used the disaster relief money donated by the family to repair the Ganquan Palace, and it was out-and-out nonsense to worship the Taiyi God with great fanfare.Now Shangcang has proved the stupidity of the Son of Heaven with the Yellow River again, and countless people are waiting to see the joke.How to explain to the world may be more important than how to solve the Yellow River breach.Young people want to save face, not to mention that the most urgent thing for the Son of Heaven now is to prove that he is destined to return, after a few great victories, he has just established a little confidence, and suddenly such a dull stick, how can he bear it.Han Anguo was suddenly a little happy, it was fortunate that Dong Zhongshu was not here, otherwise he would have to make a lot of nonsense again.But after thinking about it, Han Anguo felt that he was glad that it was out of place, Dong Zhongshu's article he had just read, although he no longer insisted on the induction of heaven and man, but Dong Zhongshu's attitude against the use of troops in Hexi was also very clear.Now that the Yellow River has broken again, has it proved his correctness again, and everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was awkward and dull, like a storm was coming.Fu Yishan and Liang Shan held clairvoyance, closely watching the Yuzhang soldiers who were exercising in the mountains and forests.The bushman stood aside, anxiously waiting, rubbing his hands together.As soon as Liang Xiao put down his clairvoyance, he hurriedly snatched it, put it on his eyes, and searched the distant mountain."
How's that, what's the matter, have you won" Liang Xiao said angrily: "You won't watch it yourself" "I'm not alas, alas, alas, these useless grandsons" The bushman was annoyed and angry, scolded, and almost stepped on the air.The guards beside him hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, so that he would not fall headlong.Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and smiled knowingly at Wu Wei, who had just put down his clairvoyance.Today was not an ordinary exercise, but a confrontation exercise of the 300 followers of Yuzhang County and Wu was brought by the soldiers of Yuzhang County under the command of Guan Fu.Wu was taken on a building boat and came to Yuzhang in the name of visiting friends, and said goodbye to Liang Xiao and his wife.Liang Xiao asked him and his subordinates to conduct a confrontation exercise to test the results of the training during this time.Wu Bei and Guan Fu both participated in the war to pacify the two Vietnamese, and both had personal experience of jungle warfare.Guan Fu listened to Liang Xiao's suggestion, stayed in Yuzhang with peace of mind, and waited for the opportunity to send troops to pacify South Vietnam, while Wu was about to go to Yizhou, and was also faced with the possibility of fighting with the natives of Yizhou.The results of the comparison made the bushman very depressed.Although he took out the best elite, he still lost the chess, and was taken away by Wu Bei's subordinates, the red flag symbolizing victory, and captured the mountain first.This made him feel a big blow, and he didn't care about being decent, and scolded him.It's just that he didn't scold Wu Bei, but his subordinates."
Alright" Liang Xiao shouted, interrupting the bushman's anger."
Come here, see the results and scold again."
The bushman reluctantly walked over, sat opposite the quilt, lowered his head, muttered in his mouth, and didn't know what he was doing."
Judging by the results, you lost.However, judging from the timing, you have improved again this time, and the improvement is more obvious. ”Liang Xiao sat down on the horizontal head, placed a wargame on the boulder, and reviewed the game."
Overall, this is the best confrontation I've ever seen, the fighting on both sides is well used, and the individual skills and tactics are also played well," Bushman slowly raised his head, staring at the moving wargames.Although it was only a small-scale battle for the top of the mountain, it was a great test of the soldiers' skills and tactics and the front-line generals' command ability, from the final analysis, although the Yuzhang soldiers under the bush man lost, but the performance was still good, Liang Xiao gave a very high evaluation.At first, he thought that Liang Xiao might be giving him face, but after seeing the specific figures, he realized that the performance of his subordinates was not as bad as he thought, and even surpassed any previous internal exercises.Puzzled, the bushman took off his helmet and scratched his head vigorously."
How can this be" Liang Xiao put down the chess pieces, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of wild tea."
I think there are two reasons: first, the soldiers who went into battle today are all selected soldiers, and the average combat power has increased significantly.Second, I met an opponent of equal strength today, which inspired their fighting spirit. ”The bushman stared at the chessboard for a long time, and finally clapped his hands regretfully."
It's a pity that I still lost.""
Losing isn't necessarily a bad thing."
Liang Xiao shook his head.This kind of coarse man, who only knows the courage of the puppet, is not a qualified general after all.He only asks about victory and defeat, but he doesn't know how to learn from victory and defeat, no wonder he hasn't been crowned a marquis until now."
Actually, I'm very surprised to be able to play like this today.Don't forget, Wu Jun is the head of Huainan Erfu, and his subordinates are all famous swordsmen in Jingchu, looking at the world, except for His Majesty's guard Lang, he probably can't pick out three hundred foot soldiers with such a high overall level. ”"Really" the bushman stared at Wu Shu suspiciously.Wu was smiled and nodded."
These three hundred swordsmen are the best guards of the martial arts of the Huainan Palace.There is no comparison with a warrior like Guan Jun, but compared to ordinary rangers, they are slightly better. ”The bushman laughed, and the depression was swept away.Some of his subordinates are his own troops, and some are Yuzhang's county soldiers, and he can indeed be proud to be able to fight like this with an opponent composed of all the guards of the Huainan Palace."
Next time, it's going to be Guan Jun's rampant trip to South Vietnam."
Wu was quietly flattered by the bushman, and the bushman was even more happy, and his eyebrows danced happily, and he and Wu were immediately beaten hot.They talked and laughed for a while, judged the gains and losses of the exercise, and rewarded the officers and men of both sides for their outstanding performance.Liang Xiao said goodbye to the bushman, boarded Wu Fu's boat, and returned to Lushan by the way.Seeing that the bushman on the shore was getting smaller and smaller, and gradually became unrecognizable, Liang Xiao turned his head and looked at Wu Shu and the soldiers behind him."
Say goodbye this time, I don't know when we will meet next time.""
I hope it's not too fast, I'm afraid I won't have time to prepare."
Wu was laughed.Liang Xiao also smiled.Wu was worried not that he would not have time to develop Yizhou, but that he did not want to develop to that point.After all, going to sea is only the last last resort, and what he hopes most is to stay in the Central Plains, enter the prime minister, and become famous all over the world.If history is as it is, there is no possibility that his hope will be realized at all, but now that history is different, Liang Xiao feels that there may be a day when it will be realized.However, he didn't want to tell Wu Hou about this possibility.Once people have a way out, they don't go all out.If he knew that he had the opportunity to share the world with the Son of Heaven, Wu Shu might not be so attentive to the development of Yizhou.But for Liang Xiao, no matter how the situation in the Central Plains changes, he hopes that intellectuals like Wu Yu will retain a strong sense of adventure, instead of staying at home and making a living."
Mencius said that life is in sorrow and death is in peace.If there is no opponent, anyone will get carried away.Wu Jun, you have to be an opponent with the Son of Heaven, this is a great task from heaven. ”Wu was laughed and silent, but there was a little more heroism in his eyes.Back at the Lushan Courtyard, Liu Ling had already prepared the relevant materials, and as soon as Wu was arried, he was immediately loaded on the ship.Liu Ling finally handed a roll of drawings to Wu Bei, and said solemnly: "Wu Jun, this is the latest design of the building ship, when you arrive in Yizhou, after you settle down, you will transform it according to the drawings." ”Wu was about to open the drawing, but found that the soap sac was stamped with sealing mud, and Liu Ling obviously didn't plan to let him see it now.He was very puzzled and looked at Liu Ling suspiciously."
This is the killer weapon of whether you can hold Yizhou or not."
Liang Xiao pressed Wu Fu's hand."
With Wu Jun's ability, it is not difficult to gain a foothold in Yizhou, your real threat is not the indigenous barbarians of Yizhou, but the sailors who fight across the sea.These designs allow you to do more with less, and hold the line of defense at sea. ”Wu was understood, and hurriedly handed it over to his cronies to put it away, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Weng, people are here." ”Liu Ling hurriedly said: "Wu Jun's words are serious.I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.After all, this is the design of a warship, not a facility like a safe ship, so there is no point in secrecy. ”"I understand."
Wu was handed over again, said goodbye to Liang Xiao and Liu Ling, and sailed away.At present, Wu was disappeared between the water and the sky, and Liang Xiao got on the horse and walked side by side with Liu Ling."
There is news from Huainan that the river has broken again."
Liu Ling said softly: "I don't know what the Son of Heaven is going to do this time, whether to sacrifice to the Taiyi God again, or to send someone to block the break." ”"It's useless to block."
Liang Xiao shook his head.Liu Ling tilted his head and looked at Liang Xiao with a smile."
Why, you also agree that blocking is better than sparse" Liang Xiao sighed lightly, his eyes were a little helpless.In his memory, the mother river of the Yellow River is also a disaster river, which has been diverted many times in history, and Shandong has suffered many disasters.But the crux of the Yellow River's breach is not downstream, but upstream.The overexploitation of the Loess Plateau and the Guanzhong Plain is the fundamental reason for the continuous bursting of the Yellow River."
No, whether it's blocked or sparse, I'm afraid it's all a symptom rather than a cure.""
How can I cure the symptoms," Liang Xiao shook his head."
I don't know.Perhaps, this issue is more important than the gains and losses of Qin Zheng that Dong Fuzi is currently studying, and it should be arranged as a whole, a large research plan should be made, and on-the-spot investigation should be made before a conclusion can be made. ”Liu Ling said with a smile: "Congratulations, your opportunity has come." ”Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment."
What" Liu Ling smiled even more charmingly."
Wei Qihou has sent news that he has sent a message to the Son of Heaven and asked you to be appointed to control the river.It is estimated that it will not take a few days, and the edict of the Son of Heaven will arrive, but I don't know how big a jade ring will be given this time:
