The thousand-year plan depends on the sages, the hundred-year plan depends on the people, and the ten-year plan depends on the family.

Hard work pays off. After careful investigation, the distance of the Yellow River Trail from the present-day Yellow River is indeed between ten and twenty miles.

Gao Zhi hates to live, and he will not stop until he forms a cocoon. By the time he saw it, he had already passed half of the time. Under a giant tree, the leaves are windy everywhere, and it is very cool.

At this time, the sweat has long been dry, and I remember hunger and thirst. Wu Chang had already prepared dry food, and took out dry cakes from the blanket, one for each person. The guards brought water from the stream, found some firewood and grass, boiled it in a pot on the spot, and drank some of it.

Gao Zhi also opened the horse's back jacket, took out a thick piece of paper, pen and ink, and drew a simple map of the Yellow River trail there. Several healthy soldiers also came to see and conspired to draw. Gao Zhi wrote Li Yaoxiang, Wu Chang, and Jian Zhu into the list of painters for meritorious service.

Seeing that it was about to be time, he hurried back. When I arrived at the Liyang County Office, it happened to be dark. Captain Wu led his brothers to find dinner. Mrs. Li and Wang Gaozhi also went to Gongmeng's house.

Gong Boyong had already arrived home and was there to talk. The maid prepared the food and drinks again. Mrs. and Gao Zhi washed their faces, drank some water, and came to the table to talk.

The next day, Takayuki got up early. When Bing Cao called the captain, they all packed up. Farewell to the county order, Mrs. Li, etc., looking forward to the white horse crossing. Mrs. Li saw that Gao Zhi was leaving, and she was reluctant to give up, so she secretly wiped away her tears.

In the middle of the day, I returned to the Yicheng military camp tent. went straight home, fried a few dishes with his wife, and Wu Chang and Jian Jian ate together. In the afternoon, Gao Zhi left behind armor, a tiger's head, a golden spear, and a sword. The commander of the army and the soldiers and horses were handed back to the soldiers and horses.

Gao Zhi spread out the pen and ink, supplemented the sketches one by one, drew them carefully, and made a detailed drawing. He also made a legend with a fly's head. The picture is completed, put into the bamboo tube, and when the next day, Xue Shangshu is raised.

At night, I talked to my wife Li about Liyang allusions and the plot of the Yellow River Trail, and hugged each other and slept.

Early the next morning, Gao Zhiding put on his armor and went to the handsome tent to give the order. Xue Shangshu took the arrow and asked him about the investigation. Gao Zhi made a detailed report and presented the map of the Yellow River Trail.

Xue Shangshu looked at the map, and called Gao Zhi to the handsome case and asked carefully. Daxi said: "This picture is very well drawn, comparable to that of an insurance specialist. Within the five-day limit, I hope Sima handed over the order in three days, and he really went out extraordinarily and won the first credit. ”

Wang Lingtong thanked Shang Shu and asked, "Lord Shang Shu, for today's plan, will Ji come out?"

Xue Shangshu looked at him: "In Sima's opinion, what should I do?"

Wang Lingtong said: "The last general thinks that there are two strategies available, fast and slow. Hurry up, trail flood discharge. In the past, there were trails in the Yellow River, so why can't the Yellow River have trails today? Troops can be divided to recruit people, the trail can be dredged, the outlet can be built on the embankment, and the water can be released on the trail to divide the flood and discharge the flood. There will be no more floods in the river. ”

Xue Shangshu shook his head, thought about it for a while, and asked again: "Try to talk about slow strategy." ”

Wang Lingtong said: "Slow down and expand into the trail." The west side of the trail was reinforced, the current west embankment was excavated, and the Yellow River was widened by 10 to 20 miles. This strategy has not been used in ancient times, and it is presented to the imperial court, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the minister, I am afraid that it is more difficult to approve and the risk is greater. ”

He also said: "Those who plan quickly take less time, the people are convenient, and the results are fast." And after a long time, the trail is clogged up, and the flooding continues. Slow policymakers take a lot of time, the people are annoying, and the results are slow. But for hundreds of years, the river embankment is not overflowing, and the river flood is unhindered. The strategy of speed and slowness, Lord Shangshu is aware of it. ”

Xue Shangshu bowed his head, stood up, and paced in the handsome tent. Said to Gao Zhi: "Sima Saddle Horse is tired, go back and rest first." Rong Benzhen thought about it. Waiting for the judge Wu Temple to hand over the order, please discuss. ”

Xue Shangshu arranged some other military affairs, and after about an hour, Shangshu returned the account.

The generals resigned, and Wang Lingtong found the king of Duzhi to enter and exit, and reported the expenses of this trip to Liyang. I overreported the consistent money, and set aside 500 for wine. Wang went in and out to thank him and made an appointment to drink together in the evening.

In the evening, the king went in and out to Sima's house, and went out of the army with him. Laughing all the way, to Huazhou City, I entered a wine shop at random. The two had a very happy conversation and formed a deep friendship.

On the fifth day, Wang Ling put on his helmet and armor, and arrived at the handsome tent early.

With little effort, Xue Shangshu was promoted.

The judge Wu Temple handed over the order, and said: "Lord Shangshu is above, and the end will go to Ji County to inspect, and there is a submission." ”

Xue Tantu took his submission and said, "It's better to remember what you say." ”

The situation he reported was naturally very different from that of Liyang County. Ji County is across both sides of the Yellow River, and the governance of the Yellow River has been the first-class government affairs for many years.

Successively served as the county commander of Ji County, the county guard of Ji County, and even the history of Weizhou Thorn, every year routine tasks, in winter and spring, recruit people to fix the embankment. The embankment in the territory is increased every year. Every winter, the Ministry of Industry has a special fund for Ji County.

He also went to the vicinity of Ji County and Baima to inspect, and the villages in Baima County also followed the example of Ji County, transporting soil on their own and raising the embankment of the Yellow River.

He thought: "In the end, in order to be stable, Huazhou can follow the example of Ji County, submit it to the Ministry of Industry, and also raise the river embankment every year to become a routine task." Other strategies are difficult to achieve for the control of yellow and flood control. ”

"The Jixian method is indeed stable. The town thought that although Huazhou had not become a routine task for the state and county, the people along the river had done it spontaneously. It seems that this is not the fundamental solution to the river flood. Recently, the town has weighed again and again and decided to widen the river. Xue Shangshu brushed his green beard.

The generals shouted in unison: "Lord Shangshu is wise, I will wait for the order." ”

"The righteous army will listen to the order. Xue Ping, Xue Tantu, began to give orders.

The generals shouted in unison, "Here!"

Xue Shangshu picked up the first arrow and looked down: "Marching Sima Wangling Tong listens to the order." ”

Wangling Tong looked at Gao Zhi's spirit, hugged his fists and saluted when he went out of class, shouting: "Here!"

Xue Ping shouted: "Drafting the chapter, long live the town today." Early tomorrow morning, choose to ride thirty, play doubles, and hold double sections. Follow the town to the Daimyo Mansion and visit the Yiguo Gongtian Andao. The sword does not leave the hand, and the hand does not leave the sword. Look at my eyes, the camera acts. ”

"Ordered. Wang Lingtong held the arrow in both hands and retreated into the class.

"Zhongshu Lord Xue Yan listened to the order. Xue Ping raised the second arrow.

The female general Xue Yan and Xue Jinping have been promoted to the deputy lieutenant of the imperial insult and awarded the title of commander of the army. I saw her tightly bound silver armor, waist with Longquan, high hairpin and green silk, majestic. At this time, he stepped forward and shouted: "Here!"

"Take the women's group to ride thirty, bring enough wolf smoke, and accompany you tomorrow. Wait for the Wangling signal signal and enter the military tent. If there is no signal, wait outside the tent and remain silent. Sima took thirty fine horses, and you controlled the outside of the tent. There must be no mistakes. Xue Ping handed her the arrow.

Xue Yanlang replied, "Order." ”

Xue Ping picked up the third order arrow and shouted: "Xue Guang and Xue Wenfan, the commanders of the folded Chong, listen to the order." ”

Xue Guang and Xue Wenfan are the eldest and second sons of Xue Shangshu. The appearance is the same as that of his father, the two brothers follow their father all the year round, and they are not confused, looking only like twenty-seven or eight, an absolute handsome guy in Datang. The two brothers rubbed their hands and said, "Here!"

"Xue Guang led three hundred captains and set up ten miles outside the city of the Daimyo's Mansion. But when he saw the wolf smoke, he rushed in. Xue Wenfan led the brigade commander of the department, selected 2,000 elite cavalry, and crossed the army on a white horse. But when he saw the wolf smoke, he crossed the river and killed him. There is no wolf smoke, and the two generals are waiting for the town to return. There must be no mistakes. Xue Ping handed over the arrows to the two of them.

"Ordered. Their brother received the order and also retired to the shift.

"Go to the generals with this town, and set off tomorrow on the fifth watch. The rest of the generals perform their duties and wait for the orders at any time. Violators, beheaded. Xue Tantu commanded.

All the generals replied in unison: "Order!"

Xue Ping Xue Shangshu visited a level-level marshal Tian Hongzheng, why did he make such a big move?

But it is said that this Tian Hongzheng, whose real name is Tian Xing, is Andao, and he is a native of Lulong County, Pingzhou.

Wei Bojiedu's nephew of Tian Chenghei, the son of Tian Tingju, the assassin of Xiangzhou. Good Confucianism, the art of war, good at riding and shooting, starting Wei Bo Ya internal soldiers and horses.

Tian Chengsi is an old general of Anshi, and after the Tang Dynasty, he guarded the Weibo Prefectures. The self-appointed official general, the festival degree has been passed on to Tian Hongzheng for 50 years, and the hereditary precedent of the middle and late Tang Dynasty festival has been passed on.

Last year, in the seventh year of Yuanhe, Tian Hongzheng led Wei, Bo, Xiang, Bei, Wei, and Lan to return to the imperial court, and awarded the school engineering department Shangshu, Yushi Dafu, and Wei Bojie envoys, canonized the Duke of Yiguo, and gave the name "Hongzheng".

Last year, Xue Ping went out of the town at the same time to form an army, across the river from it.

After all, Wei Bo's six states were newly attached, and the imperial court arranged for Xue Ping to control the Yicheng army, which could not only crusade against Wu Yuanji's rebels, but also monitor Wei Bo's movements. Just looking at Xue Ping and Tian Hongzheng's officials, they are both the scholars of the Ministry of Engineering and the Imperial History, which is very interesting.

At this time, Xue Ping wanted to discuss with him the plan to cure Huang, of course, he had to be careful.
