The fleet was docking, and the army had already placed martial law around the wharf, while the masters lined up and stood all the way along the wharf. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately off the shore are a dense cluster of wheelbarrows and two-wheelers, all of whom are ready for a long time.

The waterline was not far from the side of the ship, and at first glance it was clear that it was a full cabin of heavy cargo, and such a large-scale transportation could hardly be explained by other cargo other than grain, porcelain, and ironware.

That's right, this is the grain ship, the grain ship from Shouzhou.

Although Haozhou is also a grain production area, but there is not much reserves, as the armies began to gather in Haozhou, logistics baggage grain and grass materials also began to gather in Zhongli.

Everyone knows that this battle can be described as fateful, and Jiang Feng also knows the difficulties faced in this battle, even if he has begun to make a lot of preparations before, but in the end, he still has to use war to speak.

Fortunately, Zhongli City is close to Huaishui, and there is a lot of open space along the riverbank, and the wooden shed that was erected urgently can be used as a temporary storage place for various strategic materials such as food, equipment, weapons and armor.

When the grain ship finally landed, the masters began to fish onto the boat, carrying the grain bales and going ashore along the elastic plank.

As soon as they came ashore, a wheelbarrow or a two-wheeled cart came up, and the wheelbarrow could bear five or six bales of grain, while the two-wheeled cart was much more, and a dozen or so bales of grain were put on it.

The road along the river bank from the wharf was urgently paved with loess mixed with sand and gravel, and after repeated pressing with a special iron casting mill, it was able to meet the requirements of such wheelbarrows and two-wheeled carts.

Zhang Jize was carefully observing the use of the two-wheeled cart, as a military attaché of the defense and capture envoy, he needed to investigate the effect of the use of the improved two-wheeled cart.

The so-called improvement, in fact, is to improve the shaft of the two-wheeled car, in addition to the shaft using the iron axle rod that has been researched and promoted by the Daozang Institute, the most important thing is to use the spoke bearing, which greatly enhances the rolling effect of the wheel, is light and labor-saving, and the quality has also been greatly improved.

It's just that this kind of promotion is still relatively slow, and at present, less than 100 two-wheeled board vehicles have been improved, and they are all directly sent to Haozhou for use.

With the rapid expansion of the jurisdiction, Huang Anjin, who returned from Chang'an, has officially obtained the edict and notice from the imperial court on the appointment of Jiang Feng, the defense and capture envoy of Guanghushou, as the Huaiyou observation and disposal envoy, of course, the title of the Huaiyou Xuanfu envoy has not been cancelled, but compared with the title of the Huaiyou observation and disposal envoy, the weight of the Xuanfu envoy is a little lighter.

There are many reasons why this edict was obtained so quickly.

First, the situation in Guanzhong was somewhat unstable, the party and the Shannan West Taoist style made Yang Wenchang's joint defeat of the Tubo people, and achieved unprecedented military exploits, forced by Yang Wenchang's rapid expansion of strength, the imperial court had to reward Yang Wenchang, not only bestow the knighthood, but also officially appoint him as the Shannan West Road Festival Envoy.

Jiedu makes it a reward, which means that Yang Wenchang has the power of Jiedu the entire Shannan West Road, although this power still needs to be realized through its strength, but after all, with this name, it is very different.

Due to the rapid expansion of Yang Wenchang's strength, the imperial court also felt that it needed some local feudal lords who were more deferential to the imperial court to support, so Jiang Feng obtained the leapfrog promotion of Huaiyou's observation and disposal envoy, and Yuan Huaihe also obtained the position of Cai Ying's observation and disposal envoy, but he put aside the post of Yingzhou assassin who asked to appoint Yuan Huaide.

The second is Jiang Feng's deference to the imperial court, especially urging the imperial court to send officials to govern Hezhou, which made the imperial court overjoyed, and his perception of Jiang Feng was even better.

The third is that Li Jin and Wei Chi Chi were able to match with each other, which is also quite crucial.

There has not been much change in the observation and disposal of the embassy and the defense and capture of the embassy, but the expansion of the jurisdiction also means that the affairs have increased rapidly, and the affairs of the six divisions in the prefecture have also begun to extend downward, from three states to five and a half states, and this change is also reflected in the increasing shortage of manpower.

Even if there is a fresh release of students in the Dao Academy every three months, it is still difficult to meet the needs of the states and counties and the observation and disposal of the embassy, and now Si Gong joins the army temporarily by Du Tuo, and the distribution of students in each period has to face the competition from the chief officials of various states and counties.

This is also one of the main reasons why Chen Wei thinks that the entrance examination is imperative, and the shortage of officials is too great.

Zhang Jize was very interested in the magic field before, but what made him very disappointed was that he really lacked talent in the magic field, although he had practiced with a magician for three years, but the final result was that it was difficult for him to succeed in this area, and Zhang Jize had to choose to study again in frustration.

As a child of the Zhang family, he didn't take much trouble to enter the Great Dao School to study, and he had some magic background in the Great Dao School and he had studied since he was a child, and he performed better than others, so he soon got the opportunity to graduate and join the Shouzhou Thorn History Mansion to become a member of the Six Cao Officials.

With the demand for the selection of officials at all levels by the defense and capture embassy, Zhang Jize was fortunate to be selected to join the army under the command of the defense and capture envoy, and was in charge of coordination, communication and docking with the Daozang office, which officially merged with the material office.

The usage status of these vehicles will be recorded by Zhang Jize, and finally written into a report for further improvement.

Judging from the current situation, the situation of this two-wheeled cart is not bad, two masters can easily push more than ten bags of grain, and the speed is also faster than the wheelbarrow, but the requirements for the width and narrowness of the road are higher.

With a "boom", the rain finally fell.

It was hot and humid for several days, and I always thought that the rain was about to fall, but it never fell, and now it has finally come.

With the strong wind, the windows kept shaking, and the light in the hall suddenly dimmed.

Yang Xun has taken office as the Assassin of Luzhou, and the Assassin History of Haozhou is temporarily vacant, and is temporarily replaced by Sun Ze, the governor of Haozhou.

Originally, Jiang Feng intended to let Yang Xun stay in Haozhou for a period of time before going to Luzhou to take office, but Yang Xun assured Jiang Feng that Sun Ze's ability was absolutely trustworthy, and even said that he had already handed over many jobs in Haozhou to Sun Ze, which made Jiang Feng feel a little relieved.

However, Sun Ze's performance did make Jiang Feng very satisfied, especially when a large number of grains and grass were transported and the fleet arrived in Zhongli one after another, Sun Ze did a lot of work in advance.

"Where has the First Army gone?"

"It has entered the Huaishui from Yingshui, and there was heavy rain in the upper reaches of Rushui two days ago, and the water level of Huaishui has risen, and it is estimated that the fleet will come down quickly. Mei Guo responded.

Jiang Feng's gaze still fell on the map hanging in the center.

The generals and ministers standing on both sides of the hall were silent.

"What about the First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army?" In fact, Jiang Feng had already asked these questions several times, but he still subconsciously wanted to ask, because this battle was too critical.

"The 1st Cavalry Army has been drawn to the vicinity of Tushan, where the final training is being carried out, the 2nd Cavalry Army is still in Huzhou, their horses have just been replenished, I am afraid it will take some time to train and adapt. Cui Shang replied.

Tushan is only a few dozen miles away from Zhongli, which means that the First Cavalry Army has actually made pre-war preparations, but the Second Cavalry Army is not enough.

"I'm afraid I can't wait. Jiang Feng shook his head, "Are you ready to stop building the pontoon bridge?"

"Your Excellency, you can build two pontoon bridges in six hours, and all kinds of materials are ready to stop. Cui Shang said confidently.

"Am I too nagging?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "I always thought that I had the demeanor of a general, and Mount Tai did not change color when he was pressed, but I didn't expect that when it really came to the critical time, I was still a little nervous, hehe, I cheered myself up, defeated, it was a big deal to return to Huai You and start over, anyway, Li Yu and the ant thieves were still fighting happily, and they didn't have the heart to take care of us, but how could they be willing to lose?"

A rush of footsteps came in, and Wang Miao strode in: "Your Excellency, the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army have arrived outside the city and are camping. The First and Second Armies of the Right Wing Army have also passed Dingyuan, and they are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. ”

"Well, it seems that Qin Han and Cheng Gan really want to perform in this battle, a good thing, I'm also looking forward to it. Jiang Feng took a deep breath, "Wanshan, there is no problem with the survey of the water, right?"

"Rest assured, we have arranged four groups, five miles apart, one group to choose the river crossing point, as of yesterday, the feedback back is very good, there is no problem in crossing the river. Zhang Wanshan hurriedly responded.

After crossing the Huai, it is necessary to cross the water, and Qi County is on the south bank of the water, and Yao Chengtai's main force is stationed in Qi County.

"Bai Ling, the time must be calculated well, in addition, Ziyu, you and Chunlai led the naval army, as well as the first and second armies of the Right Wing Army to raid Tongqiao, the timing must be well calculated, well, you have to calculate it well. ”

Jiang Feng's gaze returned to the map, and the plan in his mind went over and over again, and he knew that no matter how well the plan was, the plan did not change quickly, and you couldn't count all the accidents, so you could only hand it over to the general with the troops to deal with it on the spot.

According to the plan, the infantry army crossed the river from Zhongli to the north and attacked Qi County, which was bound to attract Yao Chengtai's attention, and Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai led the naval fleet and the First Army and the Second Army to take the Bianqu by boat, and raided Tongqiao through Hongxian County to the north to cut off the supply of heavy materials for Yao Chengtai's army in Qi County.
