Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Yellow River Flows

Zhang Xuan looked at the old river chief, and already thought a little in his heart, and said secretly: "I'm afraid that the water situation of the Yellow River this year is not in any crisis?" This embankment seems to have spared no expense, and it is not necessarily much worse than a modern embankment. There is a good chance that there will be no danger this time. ”

However, Zhang Xuan also understands the worries of the old river chief.

It is best if there is no problem in the Yellow River, but only one problem is a big problem. He would rather call someone over, if it's okay, at most kill him alone, if something happens, I'm afraid that 100,000 people in Xuzhou will suffer.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan saw a few clues, and he was not ready to break it, but he called Zhang Su over and asked him to deploy the people of Xuzhou, so that the people of Xuzhou would go out of each household and all go to the embankment. After all, this flood control is a matter for the people of Xuzhou, and Zhang Xuan can't put all his energy here.

"Dangdangdang." The sound of the gong came from upstream, and a faint voice said: "Go ----- dragon -----." ”

The hoarse voice was not conspicuous in the rolling torrent, but a white floating object was seen, and one of them was lying on it and said loudly.

This is the so-called sheep boat, that is, the live sheep are killed, and they are blown into it and tied up, as if it were a lifebuoy. Man binds himself above and under the stream. It's just playing with your life.

The turbulent water of the Yellow River pushes the sheep boat, and the sheep boat is fleeting, and I don't know where it was washed away.

In the sky, I don't know when it rained again, sparsely and sparsely like silk threads hanging down, but it became denser and denser in a moment.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and Zhang Xuan could vaguely see the outline of the opposite bank, but what surprised Zhang Xuan even more was that the turbulent water flow upstream rose rapidly, and there was a stone pillar on the side of the Yellow River, and the water marks on it rose rapidly, and it rose several meters for a while.

Zhang Xuan's heart was shocked, he knew that Hong Feng was coming.

Just when Zhang Xuan was anxious for Hong Feng, Shaanxi Sun Chuanting had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief, not for anything else, that is, the flood peak of the Wei River has just passed, and most of the tuntian operated by Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi are on both sides of the Wei River. Otherwise, the flood would have washed away Tuntian, and Sun Chuanting would not know what the army would eat after the autumn.

However, this is not without its effects.

At least, the incident of going out to fight the thieves in July, which was originally scheduled for July, was delayed by this event.

Supervising the Yamen, President Sun Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could take a break, he heard and said, "My lord, Master Su is here." ”

As soon as he thought of Su Jing, Sun Chuanting frowned, how could he not know what Su Jing had come from, sighed in his heart, and said, "Please let him in." ”

As soon as Su Jing came in, after saluting, he said, "Supervisor, but I don't know when the supervisor is going to leave?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Lord Su, it's not that you don't know, this period of time is muddy, it's not the time to march, it's best to wait until the autumn is high, and when the autumn harvest is over, the military rations will be available." It's not too late to strike at the thief. ”

Su Jing said with a somewhat wry smile: "Lord Sun, the lower officials know the difficulties of adults, but adults should also consider my difficulties. And now there is a lot of discussion in various places, and if adults don't make a decision early, I'm afraid they don't have to make a decision. ”

Sun Chuanting's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "What does Master Su mean by this?" Is it threatening me Sun Baigu? ”

"How dare you be." Su Jing said: "Such a thing, how can it be feasible for me Su Jing alone, I have been following the adults for a while, I know that the superintendent Wen Taowu strategy, among the governors of the superintendents, do not think about the second person, and the Qin army is practiced by adults, and only adults can have enough chances of winning." It's just that the situation in Kyonaka is not something I can control, and I can only tell my lord, it's too late. ”

Sun Chuanting said secretly: "Did this Su Jing hear any gossip?" His face softened slightly, and he said, "What did Master Su hear?" It doesn't hurt to be straight. ”

Su Jing pondered for a while and said: "Some people in Beijing say that adults are playing with the enemy, and if the adults don't do anything to make it clear, I'm afraid that the Jingzhong Tiqi will arrive." ”

Sun Chuanting's face changed slightly, and he recovered as long as he could, and he was silent for a while before he said: "I know, but you have also seen the big water now, it is the sky that does not cooperate with me, and I am not willing to send troops, even if I want to send troops now, I am afraid that it will be in August, I promise you, I will go out of the customs in early August." ”

Su Jing was relieved when he heard this, to be honest, Su Jing has also been under an unknown amount of pressure during this period of time. In fact, after experiencing the defeat of Persimmon Garden last time, Su Jing also figured out some things, and didn't want to urge Sun Chuanting to rush into battle. But Su Jing is only a small part of the Ming system, and there are many things that he can control.

After Su Jing saw that Sun Chuanting agreed, the whole person seemed to be tired and didn't know how much, and he couldn't bear it slightly, and said: "The superintendent is a good student to rest, and he will retire in the next place." ”

After Su Jing left, Sun Chuanting sneered and said, "Rest, how can you rest." ”

Immediately, Sun Chuanting took out a scroll of drawings from the side and slowly opened it, but it was a design drawing of a chariot, the shape of this chariot was similar to the chariot designed by Zhang Xuan in Linying, and on each chariot, there was a small cannon. A few of the soldiers above made a gesture for the cart to open fire.

"That's the only way to do it now." Sun Chuanting thought of this helplessly.

What was the heaviest loss in the last persimmon orchard defeat? be

Horses.

The last battle was a cavalry duel, but it was defeated by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, and I don't know how many horses fell into the hands of Chuang Ying and Cao Ying. And the Ming Dynasty is in decline, and it is impossible to provide tens of thousands of war horses for Sun Chuanting within a year.

And Sun Chuanting understood very well that Li Zicheng's cavalry was quite powerful, and he didn't want to restrain Li Zicheng's horse team, and there was no way to defeat Li Zicheng.

But to deal with cavalry, riding against cavalry is the right way, but the cavalry is insufficient, and it can only be supplemented by chariots.

With this as a supplement, on the plains, it was possible to not be afraid of the thieves' horse caravans, but there was a fatal flaw and difficulty in moving. If Li Zicheng wanted to escape, there was absolutely no way to catch up.

It's just that now Sun Chuanting has a choice?

He didn't have a choice.

Sun Chuanting immediately put the drawing aside, beckoned his own soldiers, and took hundreds of horsemen, braving the drizzling rain, stepping on the muddy road, preparing to patrol the camp. The first thing to go to is Gao Jie and Bai Guangen's camp.

Needless to say, Gao Jie.

In the last defeat of Persimmon Garden, only Gao Jie's combat power was the most intact. It is also one of the several elites that Sun Chuanting can rely on. And Bai Guangen has just been transferred from the border pass.

Bai Guangen, like Gao Jie, is from a rogue background, nicknamed, and a monkey. When he fought with Dongyu at the border pass, he also had some gains, but he was a little unruly, did not listen to the Shanxi governor Wu Xian's moderation, and returned to Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting cherished talents, wrote a letter to intercede for it, and stayed by his side to listen to it.

The 20,000 chariots built by Sun Chuanting were also transferred to Bai Guangen to control them, and they were given a name, called the Train Battalion. As the main force of the Great Army.

In addition to Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, there are also Niu Chenghu, these three people are the three generals that Sun Chuanting relied on this time, Sun Chuanting is ready to talk to them one by one this time, do a good job of ideological work, and prepare for the first day of August out of Tongguan.

After all, such a major event, even Sun Chuanting, the overseer, could not be decided.

After Su Jing got Sun Chuanting's promise, he immediately reported it to the above, but the Ming official was like a sieve, and no news could be kept secret, but after a few days of hard work, the news ran everywhere, not only to Beijing, but also to Liaodong, Xiangyang, Shouzhou, Jiujiang, Jiangnan, and to the ears of countless people who silently paid attention to this matter.

The news spread, as if a wind ate it, and the water surface still looked so calm, but I didn't know that the dark tide was already surging under the water, and I didn't know when it would evolve into turbid waves, just like the rolling Yellow River.

The tide is so irreversible that everyone will play their part.
