Chapter Eighty-Nine: The River Breaks
Yan You said: "He Shunhou, I heard that King Zuo Xian was caught by a general named Zhang Meng, he is here today, I want to meet this young hero." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jiang Hexing saw that Yan You didn't want to say anything, and wanted to divert the topic, it seems that he must have gotten some rumors, does Wang Mang really want to reward this executioner, King Zuo Xian?
Although Jiang Hexing was unhappy, he couldn't lose his temper with Yan You, so he still went to Chang'an to find trouble with Wang Mang, but he couldn't get his wish, and he also wanted Wang Mang to pay the price in other aspects.
Jiang Hexing smiled faintly and said: "Zhang Meng didn't come today, but he will come to Quanzhou after a while, and I will let him come to visit General Yan when the time comes, and you can teach him." ”
Yan You waved his hand and said: "It's not that I'm modest, your military horses in Pingzhou are completely different from the soldiers and horses of our new dynasty, I don't dare to teach, but I can learn from him." ”
Jiang Hexing looked at Yan You's modesty, although he knew that he was first-class at leading troops to fight, but he didn't bother to rub his mouth with him.
Chen Qin's matter, Jiang Hexing saw that Yan You didn't want to get involved, maybe he understood Wang Mang's thoughts better, and after chatting a few words, he proposed to go back.
They were all busy people, and Yan You didn't stay much, Jiang Hexing returned to the hotel with his own people, and it happened that Dupont and the others had already returned from the old man's house.
Jiang Hexing asked him how the old man selling cloth was doing, and Du Pont sighed, the old man had a sick son at home, and his wife was also sick. When Dupont arrived, the family hadn't eaten for two days.
Fortunately, DuPont arrived in time, and then found a doctor to recuperate their bodies, although it will be difficult to recover for a while and a half, but it is basically stable.
DuPont sent a domestic servant to take care of the two sick people, and finally gave an account to the old cloth seller in the prison.
The matter finally came to an end, and Jiang Hexing returned to Quanzhou with people.
Jiang Hexing had just returned to the county office, and a personal soldier came to report that Zhang Meng had already led the special combat division to Quanzhou and was setting up camp.
In addition, Zhang Meng also brought a lot of businessmen from Phoenix Island with him, and now they have also arrived in Quanzhou County.
Jiang Hexing nodded, knowing about this, at this time, another pro-soldier came to report, Zheng Yi came.
Zheng Yi was not affected by Zheng San's incident, but he has been conscientious in his work, and Jiang Hexing is very satisfied.
It's just that the distance is too far now, and some information transmission is too difficult, Jiang Hexing is worrying about what to do, and it just so happens that Zheng Yi came to Quanzhou, so he has to make good arrangements.
Jiang Hexing was sitting in the house, and Zheng Yi came in to report the latest information. Ma Yuan wrote a long letter, Ma Yuan wrote a plan in detail, and he was ready to advance the front 1,000 miles to the west.
Ma Yuan used Pingwu City as a supply base for the Great War, and military supplies such as ordnance, military rations, and military uniforms were all transported from Pingwu City to the battlefield. The area around Shan Yuting is an excellent pasture, and supplies such as war horses, cattle and sheep are transported from Shan Yuting to the battlefield.
Ma Yuan divided Ma Biao's chariot army into two, one part of which was specifically responsible for transporting from Pingwu City to the battlefield, and the other part was surrounded by horse-drawn carriages on the battlefield like a castle. The mobile castle, on the one hand, supported the front-line operations, and on the other hand, it could defend itself against the surprise attacks of the Huns. Wherever the army of horse reinforcements in front hits, the mobile castle can follow.
Jiang Hexing was very satisfied after reading Ma Yuan's letter, and what he was most afraid of when attacking the Xiongnu was that the logistics could not keep up. Now with Ma Biao's chariot army, coupled with the cattle and sheep on the Huns, it can basically ensure that where the front is hit, the backup can follow, and there will be no passivity on the battlefield.
Jiang Hexing discussed with Zheng Yi again, and now Yuyang County is also very important, although the Xiongnu problem is still the primary problem to be solved in Pingzhou, but it is basically a matter of time. The task now is the new dynasty, Wang Mang's side does not decide what policy, and his side can only have the initiative in the future if he is fully prepared.
Therefore, Jiang He Xing ordered Zheng Yi to set up an intelligence point in Quanzhou, responsible for collecting all kinds of information about the local area and the new dynasty, and not to leave behind the military, government, business and agriculture.
Zheng Yi was ordered to go back and make arrangements.
In this way, Jiang Hexing stayed in Quanzhou for more than a month. In this month, with Zhang Meng and others, on the one hand, they inspected and planned the port of Quanzhou, and on the other hand, they began to build roads and houses in Quanzhou, which was also very busy.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is time to go to Chang'an, so that his men are ready, pack up their boats, and prepare to go south from Quanzhou to the sea, and then enter the Yellow River from the sea, then to Luoyang, and then from Luoyang to Chang'an.
The day after Jiang Hexing gave the order, God began to lose his temper. The wind and rain were strong and it kept falling. Quanzhou is close to the sea, the seaside is soaked in seawater, and the road that has just been built is only a big pit and a small pit.
The rain was really heavy, and it rained for 5 days in a row.
The county government was originally on a high ground, but now the county government is surrounded by water, and it is difficult to travel. Outside, the roads were difficult for cars and horses to travel, and small boats had to be used to deliver grain and firewood.
Jiang Hexing was in the courtyard of the county government, looking at the green peach and green leaves falling on the ground, looking at the stagnant water everywhere on the ground, sighing, looking at the sky, the rain finally stopped, and the matter of going to Chang'an could finally be arranged.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from the south.
Jiang Hexing stood under the tree and was looking at the green peaches on the tree. Following the sound of footsteps, Zheng Yi ran towards him from the moon gate in the south courtyard. It doesn't matter if there is water under your feet, just run forward, not afraid of muddy water splashing all over your clothes.
Zheng Yi saw Jiang Hexing and said loudly: "Hewang, big, the big thing is not good, something happened to the Yellow River, and the Yellow River burst." ”
As soon as he heard that something had happened to the Yellow River, he felt a "buzz" sound, felt a little unable to stand, and shook his body a few times.
The accident in the Yellow River is no trivial matter, I don't know how many people will be buried in the belly of the fish, and I don't know how many people will be displaced again. How many families will never be reunited, and how many will lose their homes forever.
Jiang Hexing immediately appeared in his mind, and countless skinny and ragged people supported each other and walked on the road of a foreign land.
Zheng Yi saw that Jiang Hexing's face changed, and asked nervously: "He Wang, I am afraid that the matter of going to Chang'an will have to be rearranged, above the Yellow River, the water potential is now unknown, the depth is difficult, and it has been rerouted, not the original river, I want to take the Yellow River, and there is a re-survey." ”
Jiang Hexing waved his hand and said: "I'm not worried about going to Chang'an, I'm worried about how many refugees will suffer when the Yellow River opens." Where does the Yellow River open? ”
Zheng Yi said: "At the Yuancheng pass of Wei County, now the Yellow River is going eastward and no longer flowing north. ”
As soon as Jiang Hexing heard about Yuancheng of Wei County, that was Wang Mang's hometown. The break is in Wang Mang's hometown, and according to Wang Mang's attitude of loving the people like a son, he will not take it to heart.
When Jiang Hexing felt a little comforted, he immediately thought that it would take at least a few years to re-block the Yellow River breach. This money and food alone is definitely no less than a war with manpower.
Jiang Hexing thought about it for a while, and immediately made a decision in his heart, to go to Chang'an in advance, and now he will do his best to save people.
If the water of the Yellow River goes east and south, it will almost be plain from the southeast of Wei County, all the way to the Huai River, I am afraid that it will suffer a catastrophe.
Jiang Hexing was worried, and ordered Zheng Yi to immediately call all the important people in Quanzhou to discuss together, and in addition, send a fast boat to Yongnu to ask Wu Han to come over as soon as possible.
Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment, Jiang Hexing usually calls this kind of thing to be a personal soldier, and today he will report it himself, and this errand will fall on his head. Maybe it's because the river is in a hurry and can't take care of too much.
Zheng Yi saw that Jiang Hexing's face was very nervous, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ran out to inform important people in Quanzhou and come to the county government to discuss the matter of the Yellow River. (To be continued.) )
