Chapter 597: It's shallow on paper

The embankment is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, Tongguan folds to the east 100 kilometers near Sanmenxia, Sanmenxia is located in the Central Plains Henan, Jin, Guanzhong junction, east and the millennium imperial capital Luoyang City as neighbors, south of Funiu Mountain and Nanyang City, west of the ancient city of Xi'an, north across the Yellow River and the three Jin Dynasty echo.

A burst of embankment here directly affects the safety of Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is located in the western part of Henan, the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and has one of the most significant features, "five rivers around Luocheng", which is the place where the five rivers converge, and the five rivers are divided into countless tributaries, and the large and small rivers are criss-crossed. When the Yellow River bursts, the water not only washes away the fields and destroys houses, but also causes the local water level to rise.

Originally, the heavy rain was endless, and the river water rose one after another, but now it is affected by the bursting of the Yellow River, and the water level is rising even more, and if it is not controlled, the five rivers are flooded, and Luoyang is in danger.

Luoyang's value to Li Tang's existence at this time is like Shanghai 1,500 years later, and it is self-evident how terrible the damage will be if Shanghai is destroyed.

In order to cope with this flood, Datang sent out all the urgency, and six or seven times every hour came.

Knowing that the situation was becoming more and more severe, Li Chengqian, as the commander-in-chief of the flood fighting and disaster relief, could not help but break out in a cold sweat; if they had followed their original handling method and only worked after the work, but had done nothing during the disaster, and had allowed the local authorities to organize flood fighting and rush to repair the embankments, Luoyang might be in danger of being destroyed.

Not only Li Chengqian, but also Wei Zheng's mood is very heavy, the disaster has affected too wide an area, beyond everyone's expectations, if it were not for Qin Feng's proposal to divide the army into a multi-pronged way, and use the army, then Luoyang, as the accompanying capital, would become an ocean.

Looking at the generals who came with him to relieve the disaster, Li Chengqian thought for a while and said loudly: "Water and fire are ruthless, if we stay for a moment longer, the people will have less hope for life." At the pace of our march, by the time we reach the breach, I am afraid that the water of the Yellow River will have already poured into Luoyang City, so I think that all the horses should be gathered and handed over to Zuo Wuwei. One person rode in pairs, and galloped in the way of changing horses without changing people, and the rest of the extra horses were used to carry sacks, with Zuo Wuwei as the forefront, rushing to the front line and repairing the embankment. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this plan is feasible." Wei Zheng, who was worried about the people, was the first to agree, and this was the only way at present.

Qin Feng said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is willing to lead Zuo Wuwei to go." ”

If inaction leads to serious flooding, it will become a situation of flooding Luoyang, which will cause Datang to suffer heavy losses. So who bears the responsibility?

The flooding of Luoyang is the loss of the entire Tang Dynasty. He is also very aware of the current emergency, and he does not hesitate to go out of work at this moment to ask for help.

"That's right." Li Chengqian's intended person is also Qin Feng, because of his outstanding performance that day, showing extraordinary flood resistance, occasionally thinking of something, he can also get the attention of Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng and others by saying two sentences. Seeing that he was the first to come out, Li Chengqian responded, glanced at Qin Feng and said: "The champion general is a ghost, a genius, and a pillar of the country, and everything is based on his own safety. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, Your Highness is waiting for the news of Ben's triumphant return. Ladies and gentlemen, I am taking my leave. ”

"Be careful." Even Wei Zheng was rarely concerned.

After Qin Feng left.

"Lord Wei!"

Li Chengqian said: "The most tiring and dangerous work was led by the champion general, and I also believe that he will win every battle as before, and I am very relieved to have him go." Rescuing the people trapped in the floods, opening warehouses and releasing grain, maintaining law and order, distributing medicinal herbs and other aftermath matters are up to us to do. ”

"Minister, obey!"

Qin Feng gathered the soldiers of the three guards, brought war horses from the three armies, distributed them to the people who were good at riding in the army, and hurried to Sanmenxia non-stop.

In ancient times, it was really not easy to send a large army to rescue the disaster. Without the mobility to travel thousands of miles a day, the army rushed to the affected area with great difficulty, and the disaster was basically over. The loss of manpower and food outweighs the loss, so there is no example in history where the imperial court specially dispatched a large army to relieve the disaster.

However, the situation of Datang is just special, the main combat forces of Datang are concentrated in Guanzhong, and the disaster site Sanmenxia and Guanzhong are only separated by a Tongguan Pass, and the cavalry can be rushed for two or three days. The army was able to rush to the disaster area as soon as possible, and Qin Feng's proposal seemed to be appropriate and just right.

Qin Feng only knew that the embankment was in Sanmenxia, but he didn't know where it was in Sanmenxia, and after leaving Tongguan, he could only follow the south bank of the Yellow River along the way, rushing from west to east, and it took time to pass through the loess canyon for more than 100 kilometers, and finally arrived at the place of the break.

Qin Feng was shocked by the situation in front of him: the Yellow River was already known for its majestic atmosphere, especially after the Loess Plateau in the middle reaches, and it was even more famous for its rapidity. The vast water of the Yellow River swept the sediment of the Loess Plateau, rushing and roaring away, forming the world-famous "Yellow River" and rushing to the sea.

Due to the continuous heavy rains, the overall water level of the Yellow River has risen, and the scene of rushing and roaring is ten times more majestic. The surging water of the river vented down the gap in the levee and poured into the interior, and the power was beyond words.

Qin Feng had faced a hundred thousand Turkic troops, the sand and dust rolling up in the sky, and the power of more than 100,000 war horses galloping did not make him feel any shock and timidity, but the scene in front of him made him feel his scalp tingle from the bottom of his heart, and a feeling of fear arose from his heart.

In the face of this force of nature, even Qin Feng also gushed out a feeling that was difficult to resist. No matter how brave a person is, facing nature and standing in front of nature, he will become so small and powerless.

Gritting his teeth, Qin Feng roared loudly, "Quick, what's the matter." In the face of the big water, everyone is scared! Quick, let me go three miles away to dig dirt for me and put sandbags on me. "Facing the abusive flood in front of him, Qin Feng himself was almost intimidated, let alone others.

It is not too demanding, and it is loud to boost morale and let the soldiers take action.

After receiving the order, one by one the soldiers remounted their horses and turned around to collect sediment.

Lieutenant General Zuo Wuwei Niu Jin Dace came up immediately, and said loudly in the face of the wind and thunderstorm: "General, there are mountains near here, why bother to seek the near and far." ”

Qin Feng also replied loudly: "A natural disaster like a flood is unlikely to be fought by manpower, at best, it will minimize the loss. The only thing that really fights against prevention and natural disasters is nature, that is, the mountains, the grass and the trees. The turbulent water here is already a flood-prone area, and digging mountains to extract sediment will not be easy to kill itself without natural protection, and it is likely to cause greater floods in the next year. You can't do this kind of immoral thing, just listen to me. ”

When describing natural disasters in later generations, they often add a sentence, the sky is ruthless, drought, floods, typhoons, hail, blizzards, sandstorms, earthquakes and other meteorological disasters, but it is human beings who affect the occurrence of such disasters, and human beings destroy nature and lead to natural changes as the inducement.

Although human beings need to develop, destroying vegetation and destroying nature is something that can be helpless, but knowing what the reason is, Qin Feng can't do this kind of thing by digging mountains and extracting sand for the sake of immediate interests and convenience, destroying the ecology along the Yellow River, and causing greater harm to future generations.

Niu Jinda seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he doesn't care. What he admired most about Qin Feng was not only his martial arts, but also the sudden, whimsical, and unfounded conclusion. In the end, the facts proved that those seemingly absurd conclusions were extremely correct, and there was no mistake.

Qin Feng looked at the nearly twenty-meter-long burst embankment that had been washed away, as well as the torrent of the embankment that poured in from the Yellow River, and felt a sense of powerlessness, and the self-confidence he had begun almost completely collapsed.

Suddenly, he found that he underestimated this natural disaster, and the power of nature was not something that could be dealt with simply. Water control is also a very deep knowledge, a layman in the face of such a ferocious flood, even if the army is in hand, how to come up with an effective and reasonable plan in a short time?

"Do you want to use the method of death, rely on manpower, and forcibly plug the gap in this embankment?" Qin Feng lowered his head and groaned, patted his head suddenly, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid: "If you don't understand, you can find someone who understands" In his impression, all dynasties and dynasties will arrange officials to control the water: among them, the famous ones are people like Dayu, Gongsun Leopard, and Li Bing.

He didn't remember any famous people who controlled water in the Tang Dynasty, but in his position, no matter what his ability was, even if he only had half a tone, it was better than what he didn't have at all.

Turning the wisdom of others into one's own is the work of those in higher positions.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly brightened.

As the saying goes, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion.

This person has a specialty, and somehow let a layman do an expert thing, and if he can do it well, he will be a ghost.

If you change to Li Jing, it may not work! In the military, Li Jing is an industry benchmark, and he has never been in contact with water control, so he may not be stronger than him Qin Feng.

This is also the key to Li Chengqian's use of Qin Feng, but he never imagined that what he could say was the Tao, and there were a lot of clever Qin Feng, not because he understood it at all, but because he remembered some details of flood fighting in later generations, so he was able to come up with some ideas and make a few suggestions.

This burst arrived at the scene of the flood, just like Zhao Kuo on paper.

Qin Feng is not stupid like Zhao Kuo, if he is given some experience in small disasters and small troubles, he can still deal with this grim situation. can let him face this huge flood directly with his inexperience, and it is not easy for Zhao Kuo, who is on the battlefield for the first time, to face off against a rare famous general in history like Bai Qi.

Qin Feng usually loves face, but in the face of this situation, he is cheeky and pretends to understand that it is small, if something goes wrong and harms the people, it will be too big.

So without any hesitation, he sent someone to look for the weir officer.

However, the nearest Hongnong trip also takes a night's journey, so you can't watch the water rush in.

"Can't wait." Qin Feng gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Come on, drive a pile for me on this side." First, to prevent the expansion of the breach, and second, to prepare for the next erection of the pontoon bridge. ”

"Whoa!" Qin Feng has a high prestige in the army, and under his order, the soldiers immediately implemented it, and in less than a moment, more than a dozen large piles were firmly nailed to the embankment on this side like plum blossom piles.
