The next day, Qing Cang took Zhou Cang to Xuchang.
Xuchang and Huaxia City are nearly a thousand miles apart.
It would take at least ten days to reach them by horseback.
I have been tired for more than ten days, and my riding speed is still a bit slow.
After ten days, it was actually not good news for Huaxia City.
Things are changing.
In case of a sudden attack by the black dragon, Huaxia City will be unguarded.
What Qingcang was afraid of was that the two staff officers would not be able to withstand the attack from Heilong and others.
After all, Black Dragon and the others are modern people.
They know how to use modern methods to attack Huaxia City.
They are full of tricks and tricks.
This is a big test for the two major staff officers.
If the problem needs to be solved quickly, try to solve it as quickly as possible.
So he will not reach Xuchang by horseback.
They first got on a train and headed to Jinyang.
Finally, they arrived at Licheng from Jinyang, which had long been occupied by the Chinese Army.
Because it is very close to the city and the Yellow River, it is feasible for him to reach Xuchang by water.
When they arrived at Licheng, they appeared by the Yellow River.
Zhou Cang asked.
"Commander, why do you want to go west instead of taking the land route?
I remember Xuchang is in the south.
Why do we have to go to the Yellow River?
There are no ships on the river."
Zhou Cang didn't dare to ask too many questions at first, but he finally asked.
He didn't understand the purpose of Qingcang's decision.
That's why I asked.
In his opinion, the land route is easier to travel than the water route.
After all, they are used to fighting on land and don't know much about waterways.
Not very good at it.
It can be said that the waterway brings them endless fear or the unknown.
People tend to do things they are sure of and will not easily try unknown things, so in his opinion, Qingcang should take the land route, which is better than the water route.
Qingcang said: "The land route is not a good choice for us.
Cao Jun's water resistance is not good.
As for the water route, they will definitely not pay great attention to it.
And look, what is behind me?"
I don't know when, a swamp air boat appeared behind Qing Cang.
Zhou Cang recognized this air ship.
At that time, Qing Cang was protected from attack because of the air ship.
Now he understood what Qingcang's intention was.
Qingcang wanted to pass through the air ship.
To complete the purpose of going down the river.
He wanted to follow the Yellow River all the way to Xuchang.
Because a swamp air boat is, after all, a boat, and it also needs water to complete the lifting action.
"So that's what the commander wants to do, then I understand."
Only then did Zhou Cang understand Qing Cang's intention, and that was what it was.

"Let's go without further ado."
Try to arrive before tomorrow evening.
By water, they actually need a longer distance, perhaps nearly 2,000 miles.
But they can move forward quickly.
With the existence of the air ship, they will reach their destination several times faster than by land.
The air boat quickly launched into the water, and the two of them sat on the boat and went down the Yellow River.
Such a long journey.
It’s very mentally draining, just sitting in a swamp air boat.
Everyone will be stunned.
Qingcang simply sat on the air boat like this and switched to automatic driving.
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for him to have so much energy to care about it.
On this trip they arrived in Xuchang.
At that time, Cao Jun may be given a lot of surprises.
At the same time, he also maintained close contact with Huaxia City.
Because there are also telegraph machines and other things on the ship, which can send and receive telegrams.
Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Cao Cao sent Lu Bu to attack him.
He would take up most of Cao Cao's troops.
A crusade against Yuan Shu would require a huge amount of troops.
As the first warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu's military strength should not be underestimated.
Black Dragon never imagined Qingcang will arrive in Xuchang within two days. and attempted to sabotage the steam engine they stole.
This trip is destined to be a huge test.
But as long as their research is destroyed, China City will still be in the lead.
The probability that the black dragon wants to start a war again in a short period of time is reduced to 30% unless.
They really had talented people who could build things like steam engines for them.
This greatly increased their military strength.
But this possibility is slim.
Qingcang is going to Xuchang.
The importance of this trip is understandable.
Let's talk about Qingcang, an air boat in Fengshuang going south along the Yellow River.
They were extremely fast, even if they encountered Cao Jun's defenders.
The defenders could only see their tiny afterimages.
After that I could no longer see their faces clearly.
Because the swamp air boat could be regarded as a strange existence at the time.
And more than half of the time, they were traveling at night, so the probability of discovering them was very slim.
The space inside the airship was not bad.
It was not too small for sitting, and two people could lie flat on their backs.
After they walked for a few hours, Qingcang lit the lights inside the airship and turned on the telegraph machine.
At this time, it was When Yang Xiaomei and others sent a telegram.
As soon as he turned on the telegraph, there was a beeping sound coming from it.
He took down a lot of codes and took half an hour to complete the translation.
"Commander, what did the telegram say?"
Zhou Cang and Qing Cang came out, looking at each other and looking at each other.
They were very bored.
News happened to come, and he also wanted to know what happened.
"Commander Yang said that Cao Jun's steam engine is hidden in Guandu City."

Guandu City is a city downstream of Sishui Pass, not far from the Yellow River.
There was a war in Guandu.
This war has not happened yet, and maybe it will not happen in the future.
It's called the Battle of Guandu.
The Battle of Guandu was one of the "Three Major Battles" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
It was also one of the famous battles in Chinese history in which the weak defeated the strong.
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200) of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army were in a stalemate in Guandu, northeast of Zhongmou, Henan, where they launched a strategic decisive battle.
Cao Cao made a surprise attack on Yuan's army's granary in Wuchao, now in the west of Fengqiu, Henan, and then defeated the main force of Yuan's army.
This battle laid the foundation for Cao Cao's unification of northern China.
This place is a second-most important geographical location for Cao Jun.
As for who chose this place, it is unknown.
"What, that's not far north of Xuchang?"
"It is 150 miles away from Xuchang.
It seems that we made the right choice for this trip.
If we go by the river, we can reach Guandu just in time."
In fact, Qing Cang had already expected that the Black Dragon might mainly rely on waterways in the future.
Before they developed the steam engine, waterways could save them from the fatigue of traveling and transporting large items was much more powerful than horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.
Most of the ancient kings repaired waterways, built canals, expanded river channels, etc.
Compared with land routes, waterways had much lower labor and transportation costs.
Zhou Cang said: "The commander is really clever.
I think Cao Jun must not know that we will launch a surprise attack on them through the waterway."
Qing Cang said: "On this trip, we are not on bad terms with them.
We mainly focus on destruction."
"It is the destruction that is mastered.
Zhou Cang is here, and the destruction can be done."
"Um" The two chatted for a while and then fell asleep separately.
With the existence of the swamp air boat, it can drive automatically, foresee the existence of some dangers, and make predictions in advance.
At the same time, the speed of driving at night will be slower.
Ancient people went to bed early after dark, so nothing happened along the way, especially at night.
It was dawn the next day.
They have traveled about 23 miles.
Such a speed can be called an extraordinary speed.
Suddenly, the airship stopped operating.
This alarmed the two people in their sleep.
Qing Cang opened his eyes and were shocked to see the scene in front of them.
The Yellow River was flowing downstream and was blocked by a dam at some point.
At this time, the swamp air boat is in front of the embankment.
The horizontal distance between the water surface upstream and downstream of the embankment is about 18 meters different.
This made Qing Cang very puzzled, but after thinking about it, this kind of embankment must have been made by Heilong Rang.
It seems that the shape of this embankment is completely modern and seems to be newly built.
Zhao Zilong had only been there for a long time before they built the dam.
It can be said that their speed was far beyond Qing Cang's imagination.
He thought to himself that maybe the black dragon's strength was much more than that.
This further strengthened his desire to destroy.
The swamp air boat must have foreseen the danger in advance, so it stopped at this time.

Looking at the sudden fault ahead.
"Commander, what should I do?"
Zhou Cang asked, there is no way ahead now.
This huge problem was thrown to Qingcang again.
You must know that there is a difference of more than ten meters between the upstream and downstream.
It is very difficult to cross it unless you get off the boat and walk on.
"Zhou Cang" "I am here" Qing Cang said.
"I want to play something exciting, do you want to give it a try?"
Zhou Cang: "As long as the commander dares to play, I, Zhou Cang, will also dare to play."
Qingcang glanced at Zhou Cang, his expression firm at this time.
He probably has full trust in Qingcang.
No matter what Qingcang does, he will support him.
Just like today, Qingcang said that he wanted to play something exciting.
It must be a very dangerous thing.
He agreed without hesitation. .
"If you hold on to the handrails tightly, there may be big bumps in a while."
When Qing Cang said these words.
Zhou Cang's heart skipped a beat.
What is he going to do?
"What are you doing, Commander?"
"leap" Qingcang's two simple words contain an incomparable thrill, yes, a leap.
Fly from upstream to downstream.
It was that simple, and Zhou Cang understood what Qing Cang meant.
Qingcang didn't pay much attention to Zhou Cang, and he turned the air ship into manual mode.
At this time, we were still about 20 meters away from the embankment.
Without stopping for a moment, he directly hit the accelerator and rushed towards the embankment.
This scared Zhou Cang to death.
He held the handrails tightly with both hands, fearing that when he flew away, he would be thrown to the four walls of the airship, which would be painful.
At the same time, he opened his eyes wide, and something unexpected happened to him.
There was a lot of water splashing in front of my eyes.
The Swamp Air Boat wasn't the leap he expected.
Instead, he drew a perfect arc in front of the embankment and turned back.
Qing Cang did not leap forward, but turned back.
What Qing Cang did made him puzzled.
How did he know that a large number of numbers appeared in Qing Cang's eyes at this time, and these numbers were decreasing sharply, so he knew that he could not succeed in this leap, and he might be seriously injured or die, so he stopped in time.
Lived.
Qingcang didn't stop.
Instead, he pressed the accelerator again, and at this time, the air boat turned around and headed to the other side.
This time, he chose another embankment.
The place he chose was on the other side of the embankment.
At this time the engine roared.
This time the speed was much faster than before.
Zhou Cang was so frightened that he quickly held his hand again and held the railing tightly.
This time, he closed his eyes.
Because when he opened his eyes just now, he saw the gap and the violent water of the Yellow River, which made him feel uneasy.

He would rather keep his eyes closed at this time.
However, this time, the swamp air boat did not turn again, but rushed towards the embankment.
What Zhou Cang couldn't see, Qing Cang could see clearly.
As long as he goes and the numbers in his eyes will not decrease sharply, he can basically judge that this direction is correct.
If there is a sharp decrease, then he will stop in time.
When encountering some danger, he can judge the danger just by relying on the numbers in his eyes.
This is what makes him different from ordinary people.
Of course, it also has a powerful survival system that provides it with a large number of weapons and equipment.
It can be said that with this system, he is omnipotent.
The air ship still flew out, and Zhou Cang felt his body light up, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
At this time, he still did not dare to open his eyes. bump.
A sound.
The swamp air boat hit the water.
There was a lot of water splashing.
The huge reaction force shook the torsos of the two people, making them feel pain in their waists.
The whole person will be knocked stupid.
Moreover, Zhou Cang was almost thrown to the wall of the ship.
After a while, Zhou Cang slowly opened his eyes.
They got down safely.
He said with lingering fear.
"Commander.
It was really thrilling just now.
How did you judge that this place is safe?"
Zhou Cang looked around and saw rocks everywhere except where they were.
Everything about five or six meters away is dangerous.
This width is not considered wide if it is on an embankment.
Just a small angle deviation.
It will cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
He felt it was not easy, so he asked Qingcang.
Qingcang smiled.
"It's just a coincidence, let's go."
He would not tell Zhou Cang his secret.
It's all because of the numbers in his eyes.
With this kind of numbers.
The existence of danger can be predicted in advance.
Along the way, there were no less than 30 dangers, large and small.
But they were all resolved one by one by Qing Cang.
It’s just that Zhou Cang doesn’t know.
Zhou Cang looked at Qing Cang half-understanding and said.
"That's because the commander is really lucky.
It was so thrilling just now that he was fighting for his life.
I can feel the commander's strong self-confidence."
This time the two of them made it down the river safely.
Qingcang re-handed over the driving rights to the swamp air boat.
The driving has also switched to automatic driving, and there is still more than half of the journey to go.

And on this long stretch of road, I don’t know how many dangers I have to face.
The swamp air boat finally started again.
Its speed is getting faster and faster.
The visibility is better during the day, so the speed is faster.
At this speed, I believe we will be able to reach the docks around Guandu before this evening
