The Yellow River is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River Tongguan fold 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 Sanjin 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 in various places rose one after another, but now it is affected by the bursting of the Yellow River, and the water level is rising even more.

Luoyang's value to Li Tang at this time was like Shanghai 1,500 years later, and it is self-evident how terrible the damage would be if Shanghai was 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 shape was getting more and more severe, Li Jiancheng, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty's flood relief efforts, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if they followed their original way of dealing with it, they only did their work after the work, but did nothing during the disaster, and let the local organizations fight the flood and repair the embankment, maybe Luoyang would be in danger of being destroyed.

Looking at the several generals who came with him to relieve the disaster, Li Jiancheng thought about it, and reluctantly gave a very reluctant order, and said loudly: "Gather all the horses and hand them over to the Tianjie Army." With the Tianjie Army as the vanguard, they rushed to the front line and repaired the embankment. ”

In the war, Li Yi couldn't rob Luo Shixin. This Li Jiancheng has already recognized it, firstly, Li Yi is indeed inferior to Luo Shixin, needless to say, and the other is in the hands of Li Yuan. Although he is the crown prince, Li Yuan has always favored Li Shimin militarily. But now, he found that he was wrong, and he was a little wrong. He specially counted Li Yi as wanting to give his subordinates a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that Li Yi could also shine. Fight for a chance to be promoted, so as not to have any appearance, and become a stake standing in the court to watch the play.

Ben had the intention to push Li Yi up this time. Let him stand on the front line of flood control and get the first credit. But as the bad news became more and more, Li Jiancheng began to hesitate in his heart: Li Yi was certainly not as good as Luo Shixin in the war, but he was also a general. Able to fight habitually. The tens of thousands of soldiers led to win a few battles were as simple as eating and drinking tea. But this flood control and emergency repair of the dam, is it just Li Yi's brain?

Now that the situation is critical, send a guy who can't do it up, in case of making a fool of himself, he will do nothing to lead to the flooding of Luoyang, which will make Datang suffer heavy losses. So who bears the responsibility?

The flooding of Luoyang is the loss of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Yi is Li Jiancheng's subordinate. But as a responsible prince of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how reluctant he is now, he still pushed Luo Shixin up and chose to focus on the overall situation.

Luo Shixin showed extraordinary flood resistance because of his outstanding performance that day, and Li Jiancheng could not ignore his savings, and he would specially invite him to listen to every meeting. Occasionally, if you think of something, you can also get the attention of Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng by saying two sentences.

I also know very well about the current emergency, and I didn't hesitate to go out at this moment and take the order.

"Ahem!" Li Yi has had a cough since the good news of Luo Shixin's big victory that day stimulated vomiting blood, and after he fainted in the court, he seemed to have a serious illness, and his body felt much worse than before.

The meeting dispersed.

"General Li!"

Li Jiancheng stopped Li Yi and said with a smile: "Let's work tirelessly and dangerously, let Luo Shixin do it, you and I are responsible for rescuing the people trapped in the flood, which is also a great achievement." For Li Yi, he both hates iron and steel, and also has a little guilt: in all fairness, Li Yi has indeed helped him a lot. He lacked soldiers who could fight well, so Li Yi used his connections to recruit 300 Turkic stragglers from the grassland and hid in the East Palace. The East Palace was full of guards, and Li Yi selected 2,000 brave and warlike soldiers to be stationed at Changlin Gate.

Li Yi was the first general to join the princelings, but the general who helped him the most.

Li Jiancheng remembered this in his heart and saw it in his eyes, every time he had the opportunity, he wanted to get Li Yi up, but now that he is unified today, there are not many opportunities to lead troops to fight, and it is rare once a year. This rare time is that Luo Shixin came to fight, Li Yi couldn't fight, and he had no choice but to comfort with good words.

Li Yi said deeply: "The last general understands that His Royal Highness Prince Xie cares for him. ”

Walking out of the handsome tent, Li Yi couldn't help but think of how comfortable and happy he was when he called himself King Yan in the past. I thought that I could enjoy my life after stealing Li Tang, but I didn't want to be in such a situation. Knowing this, it is better to be the king of Yan for a lifetime, and get chic and free, even if it is destroyed on the other side of Gao Kaidao, it is a hundred times stronger than now.

Of course, he also knew that it was too late to think about these things, and he had embarked on this road, so he could only do it hard.

**********

Luo Shixin brought war horses from other armies, distributed them to those who were good at riding in the army, and hurried to Sanmenxia without stopping.

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 of the court specially dispatching 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 Luo Shixin's mention seemed to be appropriate and just right.

Luo Shixin only knew that the embankment was in Sanmenxia, but he didn't know where in Sanmenxia specifically, and he could only go along the south bank of the Yellow River along the way after Tongguan, 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.

Luo Shixin 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 of the river, 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.

Luo Shixin once rode alone to face the 100,000 Turkic army, the dust rolled up in the sky, and the power of more than 100,000 war horses galloping did not make him have any shock and timidity, but the scene in front of him made him sincerely feel that his scalp was numb, and a feeling of fear came from his heart.

In the face of this force of nature, even Luo Shixin also gushed out a sense of irresistibility. 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, Luo Shixin shouted loudly, "Quick, what are you stunned about." 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. In the face of the abusive flood in front of him, Luo Shixin himself was almost coaxed, 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.

Su Dingfang Ce came up immediately, and said loudly in the face of the wind, rain and thunderstorm: "There are mountains near here, why bother to go far." ”

Luo Shixin shook his head and said: "It is unlikely that a natural disaster like a flood will be fought by manpower, and 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, a sentence is often added, 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.

Although human beings need to develop, destroying vegetation and destroying nature is something that can be helped, but knowing what the reason is, for the sake of immediate interests and convenience, digging mountains and extracting sand, destroying the ecology along the Yellow River, this kind of thing Luo Shixin can't do.

Su Dingfang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he didn't care. After getting along for so long, what he admired most about Luo Shixin was not only martial arts, but also the sudden, whimsical, and unreasonable conclusions. In the end, the facts proved that those seemingly absurd conclusions were extremely correct, and there was no mistake in zài, and I followed the order.

Luo Shixin looked at the nearly 20-meter-long burst embankment that had been washed away, and the torrent of the embankment that poured in from the Yellow River, and felt a sense of powerlessness, and his initial self-confidence 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?" Luo Shixin 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 Dayu, Gongsun Leopard, Li Bing and other people.

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. (To be continued......)
