Of course, Zhou Jinmian is busy, in fact, there is no day when the Tiqi Division is not busy.

It's just that during this time, the Ti Cavalry Division is back running at full speed.

Since Xie Shence left Beijing in March, the Ti Cai Division, headed by Zhou Jinmian, has shifted the focus of his work to the Western Front, and the most important thing is to monitor Zheng Keming and take corresponding actions.

It's a huge undertaking. Not only is it extremely difficult to transmit information because of the long distance, but there are also countless dangers and traps in every piece of information from obtaining it to identifying the true from the false to making a judgment – just because there is a hive in between.

After Tiqi entered the border of the Qin State, every step became extremely difficult.

Just as the Jin State was full of Tiqi, every county in the Qin State was covered with bees, and it was impossible for the Jin people to obtain important information in the Qin State without experiencing nine deaths.

This can also explain why, in order to satisfy Emperor Jin's temporary bad taste, the old spy who had been buried for many years by Tiqi would suffer such heavy casualties.

In addition to using the Zheng Ke incident to exert pressure on the Qin State and create chaos, Zhou Jinmian also had to deal with the endless flow of the beehive, and also rearrange the broken lines to ensure the safety and smoothness of the information channel of Tiqi.

Because the remote control distance is too far, often what happened in the Qin State can only be known after twenty days in the Jin capital.

In this way, it is congenitally difficult in terms of time, and it is extremely difficult to study the precise cooperation and trust of Zhou Jinmian and Tiqisi.

For all these reasons, Zhou Jinmian is naturally extremely busy.

It's just that compared with Zhou Jinmian, Xie Shence is sometimes more relaxed.

Because of the rectification of the Tiqi Division, Xie Shence gave full play to the principle of doing his best, and delegated power, so that all divisions after the reorganization could fully enjoy a high degree of autonomy, and he, as the commander, only commanded the overall situation.

At the beginning of the implementation of decentralization, a considerable number of people, including Emperor Jin, especially some elders who supported Emperor Jin, did not agree, but after Xie Shence's resolute insistence, after a period of time, the effect was surprisingly good, and there were not many people who objected anymore.

In fact, allowing each division to have a certain degree of autonomy in action can not only reduce the burden of the commander, but also increase the enthusiasm of the cavalry, and the efficiency and success rate will rise by more than one level. The enthusiasm of subordinates has been improved, the task has been carried out well, and the leader will naturally be relaxed.

This is the reason why Xie Shence can often run around, but Wei Liao at the beginning has not been able to go out of Jindu for several years.

Of course, Xie Shence's relaxation is largely due to Zhou Jinmian's habitual overtime.

But in fact, Xie Shence is reluctant to run around.

Because, no matter what era it is, traveling far away is a very torturous thing. And after he married Wang Jiehua, Xie Shence became extremely homely, and in this case, Xie Shence especially hated going out. If possible, Xie Shence would rather stay in Jindu all the time, as a fearsome behind-the-scenes worker than a messenger who spreads love and peace everywhere.

But there is no way, Emperor Jin's eyes of "the motherland needs you" do not allow Shen Ce to have the slightest room for resistance.

At this time, it has been nearly two months since he came to Yuncheng, and Xie Shence finally made a discovery.

Although the clues are extremely unclear.

So, Xie Shence felt the need to find an insider to ask.

......

......

At the beginning of May, heavy rain poured on the banks of the Yellow River, and the yellow-black muddy water carried stones into the Yellow River, and the originally relatively clear section of the river became extremely turbid in just two days.

It rained heavily, and the two armies of Qin and Jin stopped fighting, and they cowered in the camp and did not dare to come out.

Bai Liangyu and Xu Huan moved the military camp to a higher place to avoid stagnant water and the risk of being flooded by the Jin army.

The rare heavy rain stopped for a while, and Xie Yi stood on the city wall, looking at the gray sky, muttering to himself.

“...... Damn the rainy season...... It's enough for the next day, but it's so desperate...... Bai Liangyu reacted too quickly, Xu Huan did not leak, it was really a pity to let go of such a good opportunity in vain...... However, their military rations are insufficient, and the casualties are greater than ours, and the epidemic will be aggravated after this rain, and the time for a counterattack will come soon......"

Xie Yi chattered on the city wall, and the soldiers in soaked armor patrolled in an orderly manner, not daring to glance at the marshal.

Xie Yi is on crutches.

The injuries accumulated in the early years and the recent injuries suffered are faintly painful again because of the rainy weather. Especially in the knee of his right leg, he was slashed in the early years, and now he hurts when it rains, and this year the pain is particularly severe.

Xie Yi was a little worried.

Xie Yi had a clear understanding of the battle situation in his heart, so he didn't worry about this at all. In that case, he was worried about something else.

There is news from the family that Xie Sheng and the old lady do not seem to be in good health.

His two own nephews, Xie Shenwei went to the northwest to take over his stall, and Xie Shence was investigating something on the east bank of the Yellow River not far from him.

Of course, he knew the news that Wang Laoshangshu had died. It's just that the Wang family didn't mourn, and found someone to replace Lao Shangshu, pretending to be that Lao Shangshu was still in the world to deceive the world, and his intention Xie Yi didn't study it deeply, and he didn't want to know.

He just felt that the Wang family must have his reasons for doing this, and as for whether this reason could benefit the Xie family, it was not a question he should have considered.

Since it wasn't, it is now.

Emperor Jin and Empress Niangniang, Prince and King Qi, Northern Army and Sima Bi, Shi Clan and County Wang, domestic and foreign...... Xie Yi had so many things to think about now that he felt like he had never been so tired.

A faint worry surfaced in Xie Yi's heart, lingering.

......

As Xie Yi expected, the Qin army was indeed in trouble with military food supply.

Because of the heavy rain, the water of the Yellow River has swelled, and Fenglingdu, which was originally a gentle river and can be used as a grain and grass transfer hub, has been flooded, and a large amount of military grain has been piled up on the west bank, while the Qin army on the east bank has already started to eat gruel from the general.

The so-called gruel is something that is boiled out of a large pot of flour residue and some broken rice, vegetables and soybeans. There is no oil and water, it is extremely difficult to swallow, and it is easy to diarrhea after eating.

During this time, the non-combat attrition of the Qin army was severe.

The Qin army did not have large ships for transportation, and it took time to build a pontoon bridge, and the heavy rain had not stopped, and the river continued to surge, and it would be flooded tomorrow if it was built today, and it was basically impossible to build it. As a result, the logistics of the Qin army fell into an unprecedented predicament.

Although the Qin army was prepared to deal with the rainy season, he did not expect this year's rain to reach this level.

Bai Liangyu and Xu Huan climbed the highest mountain nearby with difficulty under the opening of the road by their own soldiers, wearing thick robes, and then overlooking the entire basin.

The soldiers set up a simple tent, and then spread out a parchment map on the erected table, taking care not to splash it with rain to prevent it from rotting from moisture in the future.

Bai Liangyu wiped a handful of the rain mixed with sweat on his face, shook off the water on his hands, and then pointed to the map and said: "General Manager Xu, our army is here now, with the flooding Yellow River behind him, and the low-lying terrain in front of him...... That is, we are stuck in this place. ”

Xu Huan said: "The young general is right, the current form is extremely unfavorable to our army, if it weren't for the fact that this depression also blocked the march of the Jin army, then our army is probably ...... now Although the army was transferred to this side to reduce the suffering of the rain a little, our army's food and grass could not be sustained, and it could not last long anyway. The rear cannot guarantee supplies, and Xie Yijian has done it thoroughly, even if he risks sending troops to loot, it is a drop in the bucket, and it will not solve the problem at all. ”

"Mr. Xu's conclusive words really make me worried. But that's not all......"

"Oh?" Xu Huan frowned and said, "Is there anything else ......?"

"The major general is worried about the north!"

Xu Huan shouted out, and the soldiers beside him hurriedly buried their lowered heads even lower.

Bai Liangyu's eyes were full of worry.

In addition to Xie Yi on the opposite side who kept him awake all night, Jin Jun also had an advantage that kept him awake all night.

That is their north, that is, the Northwest Army of the Great Jin.

At this time, as long as they go down, the Jin army can definitely rely on the advantage of the terrain to completely wipe out their Qin army.

"It's not that easy, though." Bai Liangyu looked at the sky in the north and continued: "In two days, the sky will be clear, and then there will be a peak period in the water level of the Yellow River. ”

Xu Huan listened to Bai Liangyu's words and fell into deep thought.

Bai Liangyu already felt that he couldn't win, at least he didn't think he could win. Listen to his tone, as long as you can guarantee that you will not lose, it is enough.

This made Xu Huan a little displeased.

So many people have died, and they are already at a disadvantage, although the weather is sunny, they may not be able to gain the upper hand, but there is always the possibility of a fight, how can any coach lose the desire to fight?

If you can't beat it, you have to fight.

This is Xu Huan's style, of course, the premise is that he can not die.

If he would definitely die if he fought, Xu Huan never minded being the first to escape. Just like he did that day when he faced Xie Shence.

But that's not the case yet!

Xu Huan glanced at Bai Liangyu, only to see him looking at the direction of Yuncheng worriedly, and only felt a little disgusted.

Damn politics, damn power struggles.

Xie Yi was looking in the direction of the Qin army, Bai Liangyu and Xu Huan were also looking at the direction of the Jin army, and when two or three people looked at each other, Xie Shence was staggering in knee-deep water with hundreds of horsemen, and they were about to complete the encirclement.

"Twenty on the left, roundabout!"

"Right, fold, don't go one!"

"Big Round! Tighten! Tighten! ”

"Pay attention to the ...... under your feet"

Xie Shence, dressed in a green robe, kept swinging his knife to cut off the reeds in front of him, and then commanded the cavalry to surround more than 30 bandits.
