The north bank of the Yellow River in Qingzhou is in the midst of a bustling process as Yao Yizhong's men cut down forests, not only to cut down trees but also to collect shrubs.
"They went crazy cutting down trees and making a lot of planks."
Sang Yu said a little confused: "I want to block the Yellow River with wood, and then lay a wooden board on the wood as a pedal to cross the river."
Only with that explanation, being able to come up with such a way to cross the river is also brain-blowing, and it is not impossible to operate, provided that a certain river crossing needs to be intercepted first, and then the wood on the Yellow River is thick enough.
"It's the same as the freezing of the river."
Ji Chang seemed to appreciate the person who came up with this solution, and asked, "Can you find out whose idea it was?"
The method looks very stupid, but it is really practical, and it is even much simpler than building a pontoon bridge with boats, at least blocking the Yellow River can prevent the ships of the Han army from entering the Yellow River from the sea, and it can be used as a bridge after laying wooden planks, which is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
In general, Yao Yizhong was in a hurry, otherwise he would not even be able to implement this method, and he became eager to meet the needs of the Han Department.
War is like that, one side sits firmly on the Diaoyu Islands, and the other side appears to be urgent, so the side that is always urgent will appear passive.
Once the urgency will reveal greater flaws, it will also give the initiative to others, but Yao Yizhong's situation seems to be a little different, at least before the Qiang army did not show signs of crossing the river, the two sides did not have the initiative, it will be like this is nothing more than because of the existence of the Yellow River.
The Han army assembled in Jinan County was not too many, excluding the Praetorian Guard, in fact, there were only 12,000 troops.
There is a special reason for this, Jinan County is not a battle line, but there are many places where the Han army has soldiers.
There is one in Dongping County, another one in Lu County, and then along the Yangtze River in Xuzhou, and so is Liaodong, and there is also Chao 1 Xian Peninsula.
All in all, Liu Yan currently has about 200,000 troops on hand that can be used, but with the expansion of the territory, the garrison that needs to be used has also increased.
This is a problem that cannot be avoided by any rapidly expanding power, unless the power does not expand.
"According to estimates, if Yao Yizhong does it, it should be at the end of summer."
Ji Chang said this not without reason, mainly on the issue of animal husbandry.
He smiled and said: "Are we landing in Jizhou from the coastline and disrupting Yao Yizhong's preparations?"
This is the convenience of having a navy, war is no longer just about land, if the coastline is within the target of attack, and the coastline of Shijie Zhao is not short.
The Qiang army under Yao Yizhong's command, Qinghe County and Pingyuan County where they are located are considered inland, but Yao Yizhong's order is not to stick to Qinghe County or Pingyuan County, the Qiang army appeared in the two counties to prepare for war, once the Han army landed in Jizhou from the coast, the scene will definitely become interesting.
"We didn't attack Jizhou before to prevent Shi Jie's Zhao State from turning the spearhead, at least to prevent Shi Hu from coming with all his might."
Sang Yu touched his chin and asked, "Do you have similar concerns now?"
It seems that it is not easy to say that Shihu wants to weaken the Qiang and Di people, Yao Yizhong took the elite of the Qiang people to the edge of Qingzhou, Fu Hong took the elite people of the Di people to Tongguan outside, and the army of the Qi people only gathered in Sizhou.
After all, the Qian tribe is the overlord of the Central Plains, and it is false to say that the Han side has no concerns at all, and Shi Hu is ready to attack may send troops to Tongguan, or it is possible to rush to Qingzhou, which is the reason why Liu Yan chose to stop the battle line at Juyeze.
As soon as Sang Yu asked, no one could determine what kind of reaction would be caused by sending troops to Jizhou.
What they should ask themselves is, can the Han army directly confront the Shang Nationality army, or is it necessary to go to the Nationality Nationality army so early?
"All parties agreed to attack Shijie together," Ji Chang said implicitly: "We have attracted enough ideas." ” Originally, the Han Department had already attracted the Qiang army to come over, but the number of Qiang people and Zahu was close to 400,000, and there may be many Jin people, if the army was brought over, the Ran Qin State, the Zhang Liang State, Murong Xianbei, and even the Murong Yan State, they should die of laughter Then there is nothing to say, it is not appropriate to stimulate Shi Hu too much for the time being, and first play happily with Yao Yizhong's army.
It was almost the beginning of summer, and the Qiang army, which had been cutting wood for nearly two months, finally made a new move, moving the cut wood to the edge of the Yellow River.
After the Yellow River thawed completely, the Shijie Navy at the Duma River also drove out of the Yellow River, and at the same time, a large number of wood was thrown into the Yellow River waterway by the Qiang army.
On this day, Liu Yan came to the south bank of the Yellow River again and saw the busy crowd on the other side.
It was a dense mass of black dots moving, and they moved it or pulled it by vehicles, and a large number of logs were thrown into the Yellow River waterway, and then drifted east by the river.
"There is no such thing as a Hengjiang iron cable found along the coast," Liu Yan said with some incomprehension: "They threw the wood into the Yellow River, and if they didn't intercept it, they would just float directly into the sea."
The Han army has been closely monitoring the south bank of the Yellow River, and really did not find anything abnormal, and Yao Yizhong ordered people to wantonly throw wood and other debris into the Yellow River, in fact, they are not thinking very clearly.
"It seems plausible to say that it is just to prevent our ships from entering the Yellow River waterway from the sea."
Sang Yu said slightly strangely: "Could it be that Yao Yizhong wants to cross the river directly?"
A similar possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, the Han army does not have a fleet in the Yellow River at present, but Yao Yizhong knows that it is not that the Han army does not have a fleet, so it is possible that he feels that the water battle cannot defeat the Han army, and wants to cross the river before the Han army's fleet comes.
Sang Yu also said: "We also found that the number of enemy troops on the north bank of the Yellow River has decreased by a group, and the exact number is difficult to estimate, and it should have disappeared by 30,000 or 40,000 The Yellow River was very long, very long, and no one stipulated that Yao Yizhong's army could only cross the river from the banks of Qingzhou.
Liu Yan immediately grasped the key: "There is an abnormal movement on the Western Front" Sang Yu replied: "No change was found. ” Speaking of which, since the last time Shijie Zhao's army withdrew from Dongping County and the Han army took control of Dongping County, there has been no new movement in Shijie Zhao's army, and the two sides are facing each other from a distance of 100 miles, staging a strange situation of "no war on the Western Front".
The Han army was able to find one point, that is, "there are no vain warriors under the fame", and they were not so easy to guess what path Yao Yizhong took.
