Chapter 334: The Trouble of the Wei River
Zhang Xiang took the coffin to another road, the road to Jiuyuan in Bingzhou, Lu Bu is also the number one general in the world, this is no one doubts, and he does have the qualifications to return to his hometown and settle down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What's more, you have to do a full set of plays, and you are one step away from subduing Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi, so why do you have to kick this kick out! The last thing Zhang Xiang cares about now is time.
Since the beginning of summer this year, it often rains and the food grows well, but the weather is often stuffy, if it weren't for the dragon run this time, Zhang Xiang would not have come out at all, and Zhang Xiang was more afraid of heat than the cold.
Unexpectedly, this came out, and it involved Lu Bu's matter, Zhang Xiang could only endure this stuffy weather, Zhang Xiang really hoped that there would be a light rain at this time, at least it would be much stronger than now.
Covered in sweat, I felt that my clothes were soaked, in order to show his majesty, Zhang Xiang was still wearing thick armor, and he really wanted to lose face, Zhang Xiang suddenly envied Long Ben who was seriously injured.
At least he didn't have to go to Jiuyuan, in fact, Long Ben originally wanted to come, but was stopped by Zhang Xiang, the weather was hot and hot Long Ben's wounds were suppurated, although Long Ben's body was thick, but he couldn't withstand this kind of toss.
Zhang Xiang didn't want to lose a general, Zhang Xiang hoped that someone could force him like this, but unfortunately there was no such person, because there was a coffin, so the speed of travel was not very fast.
It also means that Zhang Xiang has to eat for a while longer, Zhang Xiang has been looking forward to the rain, but it has not rained for a long time, and when he arrived at the destination Jiuyuan County, it rained lightly again.
Even Zhang Xiang, a layman, knows that he can't enter the soil at this time, Zhang Xiang can only stay in the local county office, God really wants to joke with Zhang Xiang.
Although the rain did not fall all the time, it always fell intermittently for more than half a month, and Zhang Xiang stayed in the county government for more than half a month, and Zhang Xiang rarely stayed for more than half a month when he had nothing to do.
And the family is not around, there are only soldiers and a big coffin around him, but at this time, there was an incident in the suburbs of Chang'an, let Zhang Xiang go back to deal with it, this matter is that the Wei River is rising.
Since ancient times, there are eight rivers around Chang'an, and Weishui is the largest river near Chang'an, the continuous drizzle makes Weishui rise, collapses the embankment, the river water pours into the interior, and the fields in the suburbs of Chang'an are finished.
But Zhang Xiang can't leave now, and finally waits until now, Zhang Xiang doesn't want to give up the opportunity to bury Lu Bu, Zhang Xiang decided to wait for three days, and if he can't be buried within three days, Zhang Xiang can only leave.
Maybe the joke that God played to Zhang Xiang was finally over, the rain finally stopped, and Zhang Xiang immediately arranged for Lu Bu to be buried, which was also the first time Zhang Xiang saw Lu Lingqi crying, and tears flowed at the moment of burial.
This woman, who has always used strength to disguise herself, tore off all the disguises at this moment, because Lu Lingqi is a woman, so she has no qualifications to keep filial piety at all, so she can only follow Zhang Xiang back, this era does have too much unfairness to women.
Zhang Xiang subdued Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun through this matter, and when Gao Shun called him the lord, Zhang Xiang understood what it meant to cherish words like gold, Zhang Xiang returned to Yongzhou, thinking that Yongzhou should be a continuous drizzle.
After all, the embankment of Weishui has been stepped on, but what Zhang Xiang didn't expect was that the land of Yongzhou was cloudless, and there was no heavy rain at all, is it really calm after the heavy rain?
When he returned to Chang'an, Zhang Xiang realized that he had misunderstood, and that there was indeed a flood in the suburbs of Chang'an, and the flood was very serious, but it was not caused by rain, but because the embankment of the Wei River had not been reinforced for many years.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu set the capital in Luoyang, the Bashui River embankment on the Chang'an side has not been reinforced, and the Wei River is the largest river near Chang'an.
I can't wait until now, but unfortunately after all, the water drops and stones wear through the stones, and the strong river embankment also collapses one day, Zhang Xiang realized that it is time to manage the water conservancy, Zhang Xiang believes that the other seven major rivers have more or less this kind of problem.
Since it is to be rectified, it is simply rectified at one time, but the key at the moment is to plug the gap in the Weihe River, and it is difficult to plug the original gap, so Zhang Xiang can only retreat.
On the periphery of the gap, a semicircular embankment was built, for which a lot of fertile land was abandoned, of course, this was only a stopgap measure, Zhang Xiang believed that in winter, the river would naturally freeze, and then it would be much easier to plug the original gap.
Now Zhang Xiang's most important task is to make up for the loss of sheep and control other rivers, Chang'an Bashui, in addition to the Wei River, there are Jing, Feng, Shui, Wei, Zhu, Chan, Ba seven rivers.
are all distributed around Chang'an, which can be said to be a natural barrier in Chang'an, but for so many years, the imperial court has ignored it, and it has become a natural hidden danger, and finally it fell on Zhang Xiang's head.
Chang'an will be Zhang Xiang's rear in the next few years, after all, Chang'an is in a unique location, although it does not belong to the Central Plains, but it is better than the Central Plains, otherwise it cannot become the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.
If it weren't for Wang Mang's rebellion, the Han Dynasty would not have moved the capital to Luoyang, as his own rear, Zhang Xiang would naturally ensure that there were no worries, Zhang Xiang was very glad that this Weishui disaster.
Let him find out the problem in advance, if at the critical moment of the war, the trouble of Weishui will come out, it will really make him difficult to parry, and the fields in the suburbs of Chang'an will be destroyed, and naturally a lot of idlers will gather.
Zhang Xiang naturally has the responsibility of disaster relief, Zhang Xiang does not have so much spare money for disaster relief, after all, there is a big battle to fight next year, and war is always the most expensive thing, and this has not yet started.
Zhang Xiang invested a lot of money, and Zhang Xiang even used his own private treasury, so Zhang Xiang could only come up with a way to use work to relieve the disaster, that is, to use the shy water conservancy of the victims who suffered from the flood to strengthen the river embankment.
Moreover, regardless of men, women, old and young, this is also Zhang Xiang's greatest benevolence, and the victims of the disaster naturally participated enthusiastically, which not only solved the problem of flooding, but also solved the problem of resettlement of the victims.
In order to repair the water conservancy, Zhang Xiang will inevitably run around these rivers, and his boots have been changed three pairs, but Zhang Xiang has also found a lot of young people among the victims, and Zhang Xiang is indeed not short of soldiers.
After all, the 200,000-strong army lies on the border, but it is a bit dwarfed by Yuan Shao's million-strong army, which is not the result of boasting, but a real million-strong army.
Jizhou is too rich, even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is still the most populous state and county in the Han Dynasty, which Zhang Xiang has to convince that Hebei has been a place of heroes since ancient times.
And Jizhou is even more chaotic, and now it is under Yuan Shao, and its potential to erupt is very scary, so Zhang Xiang has to continue to recruit troops to make up for the shortcomings.
Of course, Zhang Xiang wanted to take the route of elite soldiers, but this road was not easy to take, otherwise everyone would have gone, everyone knew that elite soldiers were strong, but the cost of training elite soldiers was too great, almost the same as the cost of training ten ordinary soldiers.
But such elite soldiers may not be comparable to ten soldiers, and it is even possible to practice and scrap them, so the crowd tactic is the most commonly used tactic in ancient times, and it can be said that Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao took a completely different path.
Cao Cao followed the strategy of elite soldiers, Cao Cao's territory was not much smaller than Zhang Xiang's, and the population under his rule was more than Zhang Xiang's, but he only recruited 100,000 soldiers, of course, this was also forced by conditions.
Cao Cao is located in the land of the four wars, and his foundation is very thin and he has been fighting for many years, so Cao's combat power will be so strong, and the elite will never be trained, but fought, but Zhang Xiang does not envy him.
Zhang Xiang would rather take the tactics of crowds, and will not choose the road of elite soldiers, if the battle is lost, Zhang Xiang may recover, if Cao Cao fails, it will be difficult to turn over, these young men who control the water are Zhang Xiang's future soldiers.
Most of these young people come from the Weishui River, as the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, these young people are mostly water-based, Zhang Xiang will conquer the south sooner or later, these young people may come in handy.
Zhang Xiang naturally wants to be gracious early, as for the solicitation, it will have to wait until after the autumn harvest, now is not the time, if it is recruited now, Zhang Xiang will think of Yin Kui's face, otherwise this situation will happen Zhang Xiang will not do it.
Although these victims have lost their homes, they still have the spirit of rejoicing in suffering, especially these young and middle-aged people who are over-energetic, who are more energetic than swimming, and there is nothing they dare not play.
It also made Zhang Xiang's patrol road a little more fun, one of the boys made Zhang Xiang very optimistic, his water nature is extremely good, he can catch fish with his bare hands, he can hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour, and he has martial arts.
Let Zhang Xiang love talents, there are not many underwater talents Zhang Xiang around, and Zhang Xiang can see that this man has a high prestige in the vicinity, Zhang Xiang walked over, and Zhang Xiang naturally did not wear fancy clothes when he inspected the waterway.
It is also a private interview with Weifu, although Zhang Xiang did not reveal his identity, but the guards around him are not decorations, and people with a discerning eye know that they are not easy to mess with at a glance, and the man with excellent water nature can naturally see it.
"This young master, are you here for something?" Zhang Xiangchang is indeed a little tender, and the word young master deserves it.
Zhang Xiang: "I can see that you have a good water nature, but I don't know how martial arts are, if the martial arts are passable, I can give you a wealth when I arrive." This sentence seems that Zhang Xiang is a bit of a big talker.
"In Xia Tulin, it is indeed a bit watery, but the martial arts are mediocre, I am afraid I can't afford your wealth." Tu Lin obviously didn't want to get involved in Zhang Xiang's affairs, and in Tu Lin's heart, the matter of a rich family was not a good thing.
Zhang Xiang: "Tu Lin has a good name, but you are really willing to beg for a life on the river, and you don't believe in my wealth, why don't you fight for it yourself?" It's okay to get a place in the army with your skills, so why spoil yourself here? ”
"Who the hell are you, you are a man in the army." Tu Lin's performance surprised Zhang Xiang, as if he was going to fight back at any time, it seems that this Tu Lin is not an ordinary man, but think about it, he is also a capable person, and naturally everyone is interested. (To be continued.) )
