Chapter 80: The Wind Arrives Before the Man Arrives

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Shenzu disappeared from everyone's sight with this subordinate, although the disappearance of five thousand people and horses would still leave traces. But then Zhang Xuan's march became fanfare.

The march was also much slower.

After walking for two days, I came to the west bank of the vortex river.

However, the vortex river at this moment is no longer a vortex river, it can be said to be the new Yellow River.

Last year, a flood that flooded Kaifeng City poured into the course of the Vortex River, washing away all the homes on both sides of the Vortex River, not to mention boats, bridges and the like.

Although the new governor of Henan, Wang Han still has a little love for the people. It took half a year to fill in the breach.

However, the damage of the Yellow River to the land of Henan will not be eliminated at once, not to mention anything else, just that the entire Kaifeng Fucheng is still in the water. Not to mention anywhere else.

"There's nowhere else in this area to get through." Zhang Xuan stood on a high place.

This position gives Zhang Xuan a feeling of being on the embankment of the Yellow River, with a large area of tidal flats on both sides, only a shallow stream of water in the middle, and in this large tidal flat, there are occasional white things exposed, which are not stones, but human bones.

It is a legacy of the Yellow River breach last year.

"General." Wu Zilan said with a wry smile: "After a big flood last year, everything in this area has changed. I looked at the mudflats below, and many places were covered with silt, and if people and horses walked up, I was afraid that they would be swallowed up. I can only find a way to fill in a path. Then build a pontoon bridge to get there. There is no other way. ”

"The power of heaven and earth, as soon as it is." Zhang Xuan said. At this moment, he was a little worried about Yang Shenzu in his heart, but he comforted himself and said secretly: "How many years have Yang Shenzu fought in the south and the north, and what kind of situation has I never seen." There is something that should not bother him. ”

At this moment, Zhang Xuan realized that there was another thing, he was actually puzzled that since Yuan Shizhong couldn't beat him, why didn't he run quickly, and when he saw this river, he found that within the past two years, this new channel of the Yellow River seemed to be a natural danger level.

Zhang Xuan set up camp on the spot, filled the silt with civil engineering, and built a pontoon bridge over the river. In order to cross the river, it will take a lot of time, at least three to five days.

It was the night when Zhang Xuan set up camp.

Yang Shenzu bit a small wooden stick in his mouth, and there was a city of straw under his feet, and he didn't light a torch, but he was lit by the moonlight, but the moonlight in the early part of the month couldn't shine anywhere.

After all, no matter what happens, there is a need for traffic on both sides of the strait, but this trail can only be traveled by one person, so Yang Shenzu has widened a lot. Only one person and one horse can pass by.

"What kind of road is this?" Yang Xuanzu said secretly: "Zhang Xuan said better

The song is good, but it turns out that there is no way out at all. ”

No matter how much Yang Shenzu complained in his heart. What needs to be done is still done.

After a difficult and hard night, Yang Shenzu finally set foot on the east bank of the vortex river, and as soon as the number of people was counted, nearly 100 people were actually folded in.

Yang Shenzu secretly gritted his teeth, and his face turned blue.

Cao Ying's horse team is not the same as the infantry team, for the infantry team, how much death will not make Yang Shenzu frown, but the horse team is different, during this period of time, the main scope of the rebels' activities is not on the three sides of the Central Plains, find a person who can ride a horse and shoot arrows on the three sides, easy and freehand, but in the Central Plains, such a person is not early.

Don't look at the repeated expansion of Cao Ying's horse team, in fact, the real elite are all the old team of Chongzhen at the time of the fourteenth day, and the cavalry converted from the official army, about thirty or forty thousand.

Dead one, Yang Shenzu is distressed.

"Go, according to the original command, go out by day and night. Those who discover the whereabouts of the army will be killed. Yang Shenzu said.

The cavalry of Cao Ying hurried by, leaving only a hundred corpses under the mud.

Zhang Xuan made such a big move in the vortex river, and he had nothing to hide at all, and the news naturally reached Ma Shiying's hands.

Ma Shiying pondered for a while, and said to Yang Longyou beside him: "Wen Cong, how do you think this Zhang Xuan should be dealt with?" ”

Yang Longyou brushed it, put the folding fan away, then smashed it on the palm of his hand, and said, "Yaocao, you are upset, isn't this what you want?" It's better to fight here than to go west. ”

Ma Shiying said from afar: "I, the Ming Governor, am like an enemy country in the land of Henan, which is really a great irony. On the contrary, thieves can recruit local people to serve in the army. Anyway, pass on the news, ask all departments to be on strict alert, calculate the time, this Cao Cao's son-in-law will arrive in four or five days. ”

"What are you going to do with Yaocao over there?" Yang Longyou said.

"Wang Han is really troublesome?" Ma Shiying pondered for a while.

Wang Han's promotion was fast, there was a bit of a terrifying feeling, a few years ago, it was just a county order, and now he is already the governor of a province. Your Majesty in Beijing really doesn't know what to say. Is it possible to go to Han? Ma Shiying does not deny that he has some ability.

But Wang Han, who has the ability and has a backstage, that is, His Majesty the Emperor, and cherishes his reputation, thinks very highly of himself, and wants to be a famous minister, and Ma Shiying, who was recommended by Ruan Dacheng, who was discredited in the Shilin, the relationship between the two can be harmonious.

In the matter of Liu Chao, the two had disagreements.

Ma Shiying wanted to kill Liu Chao to shock the world, but Wang Han felt that either he would not surrender, and since he had surrendered, he could not go back on his word, otherwise he would put the country's face somewhere.

In the end, it was Ma Shiying who won.

Now Wang Hanqi

He really wanted to leave here for a long time, he delayed here, just because of one thing, hoping to get Ma Shiying's support, Wang Han wanted to go west. Take back all parts of Henan, and put Wang Han, the governor of Henan, on the throne.

Now in the whole of Henan, only the north of the Yellow River, and the new channel of the Yellow River are separated, and Kaifeng is to the east, these two places are used by the government. The rest were either taken by the rebels or by the bandits. There is no foothold for Wang Han, the governor of Henan, at all.

Wang Han is stationed in the city of Guide at this moment

However, the city of Guide is also quite dilapidated, not enough to support the army. So Wang Han was stationed in Wenjiaji. That is, a large town to the west of Xiayi and east of Suishui.

"First send someone to send a letter to Wang Han and tell him that the thieves are coming. Let him be on his guard. Ma Shiying said: "Let Huang Degong arrange the affairs of Yongcheng and bring the people of the headquarters over." ”

Ma Shiying had a hunch that under this Xiayi City, there would probably be a big battle.

Among the literary collections.

The world is at war, and in many places, there is only one place name.

The current collection of writers, there is neither a writer nor a collection, and it is simply a ruin.

Wang Han took the ruins of the Wenjiaji as the foundation, and reorganized it as his camp.

At this moment, he also received Ma Shiying's letter, and after a quick look, Wang Han pondered for a moment and said, "Master Sang, you are from Runing, do you know about this Zhang Xuan?" ”

The person sitting opposite Wang Han was none other than Sang Kai, Sang Kai at this moment seemed to be many years older than when he was in Runing, he took advantage of Zhang Xuan's attack on Liu Hongqi, ran out of Liu's house, and was displaced all the way, and finally found the organization.

Thinking of Zhang Xuan's various things, Sang Kai gritted his teeth and said: "This person is a giant thief, and he is a greater threat to the imperial court than Cao Cao. ”

"Oh." Wang Han was taken aback and said, "Why do you say this? ”

So Sang Kai talked about Zhang Xuan's various policies, Wang Han was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "This ----" The words poured out of his heart, turned around in his mouth, and swallowed again: "This person acts like this, I'm afraid he really has a bit of a king's appearance." ”

He forcibly pinched out this kind of rebellious thoughts, and said: "In this way, this person must be killed, it just so happens that this person is only leading a thousand five divisions, so he dares to come to Desaye, and the court has heavy troops here, how can he be tolerated." ”

"I hope so." Sang said secretly in his heart. He suddenly had a sense of foreboding, but he didn't know where this ominous feeling came from.

When Wang Han was about to gather the generals and arrange the battle and defense, he suddenly heard a report from a person and said: "On the opposite side of Suishui, there is a large team of thieves, the yellow dust covers the sun, the banner covers the sky, and it is innumerable, and I don't know how many people and horses have arrived for a while." ”

"What?" Wang Han was taken aback and said, "How can it be so fast? ”
