As the day began to lighten, the gloomy canopy of snow drifted again, making the weather even colder at dawn.

The mountains northeast of the Sui army camp have been cut in half, and the ravines are flowing with muddy water, and from time to time there are patches of soft mountains sliding.

The area where the barracks were located had been flattened, and the entire camp was covered with fist-sized rubble, and streams of muddy yellow muddy water flowed sideways on it, and it was hard to imagine that there was once a huge barracks there if it weren't for the stumbling watchtowers.

This mud and rock torrent can only be seen intuitively in the daytime, but it is also more frightening.

Yang Tong stood in front of the bonfire on the riverbank, looking at the mud and rock area that stretched for dozens of miles, and was anxious, eager for the loss of data to come immediately.

"Husband, don't worry too much, our soldiers will definitely not lose much." Yin Mingyue walked to Yang Tong's side and said softly with relief.

"How so?"

"From the time we retreated to the time the mountain collapsed, it took about an hour or so, and our army was well-trained, and for such a long time, it would have been ordered to retreat to this side a long time ago. Even if there are soldiers who are too late, it is not very many. ”

Yin Mingyue saw that Yang Tong didn't speak, and said: "The loss of ordnance and materials is not large, because we first fought a decisive battle in Doma Town yesterday, and then went into battle lightly, and attacked the Tubo camp with a big victory; By the time the camp was set up, it was already dark, and the catapults, bed crossbows, and other equipment were either in the northern camp of Doma or left in Doma Town. The belongings buried under the mud and rocks were all seized from the Tibetan camp, and even the living livestock were driven into the valley and kept in captivity in the mountains......"

"You're right." After being enlightened one by one by Yin Mingyue, the haze in Yang Tong's heart was empty. It was only at this time that he realized that last night's impetuousness was actually an instinctive human reaction to danger. It's the same as the abnormal behavior of various animals before the earthquake.

Fortunately, he vomited Zheng Liwan, and fortunately, she was afraid of male soldiers peeping, so she ran to a distant waterhole to take a bath, and finally discovered the poisonous plan of Tubo.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Tong couldn't help but look at Zheng Liwan, and found that this girl was wet again, and she didn't know when she washed off the muddy water on her body, and the fire was roasting by the fire that was motionless, and a stream of white gas suddenly rose from her side, as if she was practicing a peerless internal skill. shouted: "Zheng Liwan! ”

"The end will be." Zheng Liwan ran over with a puff of white gas, and saluted: "Please command." ”

"You saved the lives of me and tens of thousands of troops last night; You have made such a great contribution, and I have the grace to save the driver, and I can't help but reward you. Yang Tong looked at Zheng Liwan, who was full of anger, and couldn't help but think of the mud monkey who came to report the news last night, and couldn't help but smile, and said with a righteous meaning: "I will give you the position of Shura Weiying Yang Lang General, and seal the Kunlun Monkey...... Marquis of Kunlun County, 20,000 bounty coins, 50,000 silk horses. ”

Zheng Liwan's original military position was the head of the Rakshasa Guard, but now he has been promoted to five levels in a row, and he directly skips the third-level military attache of the brigade commander, captain, and Lang general, which can be called a flying speed; In particular, the unusually rare marquis is even more enviable.

However, Zheng Liwan herself was blindfolded, her black and white eyes widened, and under the envious gaze of her colleagues, she was surprised and stammered: "The saint named me the general of the Eagle Yang Lang, and also, and gave a marquis??" ”

It's no wonder that she is so surprised, just because her father Zheng Renji, even as a Dali Siqing, does not even have the lowest county barony. But what about her? was promoted five levels in a row for no reason, and he also got a Hou.

It's incredible.

But the people next to him have heard the key word "the grace of saving the driver", if this is the case, it is reasonable.

Li Youwei and Yao Yao were so envious that they almost fainted, because they also followed Yin Mingyue's orders, but compared with Zheng Liwan, they were less of the two most critical links of being spit out by the emperor and jumping into the mud pit, so the result was very different.

This is fate, and it must be recognized.

Of course, thanks to Zheng Liwan's blessing, the two of them were also promoted two levels each and became a captain of Shurawei.

"Husband, is the Marquis of Kunlun County a Glory Lord or a ......" Yin Mingyue finished recording and asked.

"The two counties of Heyuan are both in the east, and they can't control this side. However, Doma's strategic position cannot be overlooked, so I decided to set up Kunlun County as the center of Doma North Valley Pass to manage the western part of Heyuan. Doma North Valley built a county to govern Luntai City, and South Valley built Kunlun Pass. This is something that is considered from a strategic point of view. Yang Tong said: "In addition, it is about the flooding of the Yellow River. ”

"Yellow River flooding?" Not only the cloudy moon, but everyone was puzzled. What does this have to do with the Yellow River?

Yang Tong said: "Jingshui is one of the main tributaries of Weishui, but Jingshui is crystal clear, while Weishui is turbid, so there is a phenomenon of half turbidity and half clarity at the turn of Jingshui, which we can call Jingwei distinct." ”

"So, the turbidity of the Yellow River is also caused by the Wei water?" Liu Renliang was thoughtful.

"Exactly." Yang Tong sighed: "The sediment of the Yellow River is mostly from the Weishui Basin, and the Weishui Basin is full of loess, loose soil, a large amount of loess is not covered by grass and trees, directly exposed, once it rains in the sky, the soil in these places will be washed away, this phenomenon is called soil erosion, so the loss year after year, resulting in thousands of ravines and fragments in the upper reaches of Weishui, farmland fertility is also washed away by water and soil, the Guanzhong Plain is becoming more and more barren and barren, food production is getting lower and lower, and the people in order to survive, and a large number of land reclamation, But the excessive reclamation of the vegetation caused irreversible damage, and then the fertility of the land was washed away, so over time, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the fertile Guanzhong Plain to our Great Sui Dynasty, even the population of Guanzhong could not be fed, which is one of the hazards of soil erosion. Hazard two, from the Weishui flow down a large amount of sediment in the Yellow River, so that the middle reaches of the riverbed rise, in order to prevent flooding, the successive dynasties can only increase the embankment, but every time the Yellow River soars, the river water will overflow the embankment, overflow the two banks, wash away the middle and lower reaches of the fertile crops, the heavy will break the embankment, flooding the downstream counties! ”

"So if we want to control the flooding of the Yellow River, the key is to reduce soil erosion upstream; The key to prohibiting soil erosion is to prohibit the excessive reclamation and excessive destruction of forest plants by the people of Guanlong, but the population of Guanlong is dense, and the people want to live, and if they do not open up the wasteland, they will have no food, and the best way is to move the people of Guanlong, who have more people and less land, to live elsewhere. ”

In the end, Yang Tong said his idea.

Liu Renliang thought about Yang Tong's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Generally speaking, the best distance for the imperial court to control the local area is within seven days, but when there was no Xinying before, the news of Jiaozhou was transmitted back to Luoyang for more than a month, and it was only two or three times from Daxing to Lintao. Moreover, although the four counties of Xihai are vast, they are full of plains, as long as they widen and level some key mountain passes, they are the official roads that are open and open, and once the source of the river changes, the army of the imperial court can arrive in the shortest time. In this way, the West Sea is not far from Daxing.

He said excitedly: "The Holy Lord's words are that the harm of the Yellow River has been caused for a long time, although all dynasties have strengthened the river embankment, but everyone knows that this is a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The last general once consulted the history and found that the Guanzhong forest in the Qin and Han dynasties was dense, and the Weishui was also very clear, which showed that the root cause was indeed because the forest was cut down in large quantities, and if you want to restore vegetation, you can only fallow and return to the forest and move the people. Most of the people in Guanlong are half-farming and half-pastoral, and they can quickly take root in Heyuan and Xihai, and the distance between the two places is very close, and the contact sentiment of the migrating people will be very small. ”

"Another reason is the influx of population, so that the Great Sui Dynasty has de facto control over this place from all aspects such as culture, politics, economy, and system. Within a generation, the people of the four counties will merge with each other, regardless of you and me. ”

Yang Tong nodded, and said to Yin Mingyue: "Mingyue, immediately send someone to issue an order to Heyuan Taishou Du Chuke, and ask him to come and prepare for the construction of Kunlun County and Kunlun Pass!" ”

"Whoa." Yin Mingyue heard this and agreed.

"Holy." As soon as everything was arranged, I saw Wang Fubao, who was in charge of Liu Qizhuang after the war, rushing on horseback, and his temperament changed greatly before and after, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and became energetic.

"General Wang, our army's losses are not big, right?" Yang Tong laughed.

"Back to the saint, last night our army broke 10,000 enemies, and our army suffered less than 1,000 casualties, and more than ninety percent of them were caused by fighting on the shore." Wang Fubao spoke with a little excitement.

As the commander of the camp, Yang Tong certainly carried everything and did not get angry with him, but before the loss data came out, the pressure in his heart was as heavy as a mountain, and now he has finally passed the psychological barrier and unloaded the heavy burden imposed by himself.

"Our army has been fighting since early yesterday morning, and has rested for less than two hours, and the whole army is extremely tired, but the 70,000 Tubo army led by Lu Dongzan is coming soon, and for today's plan, we can only choose a site to build a strong military camp as soon as possible." When Yang Tong said this, he said to Wang Fubao: "General Wang, you are in charge of building a new battalion, don't give the enemy another opportunity to take advantage of." ”

"Thank you for your trust, and the Admiral will never make the same mistake again." Although Wang Fubao didn't say anything like 'bring up the head to see you', everyone heard the decisiveness in his voice.

。。。。。。。。

"Woo woo woo woo woo ......" The sound of a horn suddenly sounded in the northwest direction, which was the horn of Niu Jinda. Instead of decreasing, his army increased by thousands. And there was also a bunch of captives, including several Han Chinese.

When the army of oxen approached the front, several horses galloped forward. Yang Tong looked at it from a distance, but it was Wei Fengwu, Shui Tianji, Yang Qinfang, and Du Ruhui who all came.

"Husband!" Wei Fengwu's hanging heart finally let go, although her husband was a lot embarrassed, but he was fine.

"It's all here." Yang Tong said with a smile.

"Hmm. You, I'm okay, right? Yang Qinfang looked at Yang Tong, her eyes were red.

"It's fine."
