Chapter 474: The Imperial Expedition (5)

In the dark, Mr. Youya leaned into Liu Cheng's ear and whispered something.

Liu Cheng exclaimed, his eyes widened in disbelief, "This, this ......"

"What's the matter, the second son can't do it?" Mr. Youya's words were sarcastic, "The amount is not a gentleman, and the non-toxic is not a husband." With the current situation of the second son, if he wants to inherit the title, he can only use extraordinary means. Of course, if a person is not a sage, who can be ruthless? If the second son can't give up the relationship between father and son, then the old man and the fourth highness have not been here tonight. ”

After speaking, Mr. Youya and the four princes both stood up and wanted to leave.

"Slow!" Liu Cheng shouted, gritted his teeth hard, and made up his mind, "Just do what Mr. said." ”

"The second son is so courageous!" Mr. Youya smiled, "The old man and the Fourth Highness promise that your wish will come true!" In the future, the fourth highness will ascend to a high position, and there will be greater glory and wealth waiting for the second prince, no, it should be the Marquis of Zhongyong. ”

The three words of loyalty and courage stimulated Liu Cheng to completely forget his family affection.

Since his father refused to pass on the title to him, he had no choice but to take it himself!

He must not tolerate Liu Hong's fool riding on his head!

The next day, the army came to the Wei River, crossed the Wei River, and then could go further to the northwest.

On this day, however, it began to rain heavily.

"Marshal, it has rained heavily for several days, the river has swelled, and the bridges along the river for three hundred miles have been washed away." The scout in charge of the road was full of anxiety, "The river is so fast that the old fishermen in the vicinity can't swim across it. ”

Xie Xun had expected that the previous heavy rain would cause the river to swell. The current bridge-building technology will certainly not be able to withstand the soaring Wei River.

The military situation was like fire, and there was no delay at all, and the army was blocked in front of the Wei River. Standing on the riverbank, Xie Xun's white hair almost came out. The river beneath his feet was like an angry water dragon, tumbling and rushing southward, letting out a heart-stopping roar.

Some soldiers from the south tried to swim through it with great skill, but the river was cold and rapid, and at most half of the soldiers swam because their bodies were frozen and sunk, or they were swept away by the rushing river. There is no one out of ten.

The officials of the accompanying Ministry of Works tried to erect a pontoon bridge, but the flow was so fast that as soon as the wooden boat was lowered, it was immediately washed away, and there was no way to connect them in a line.

"Stop this pointless attempt." Xie Xun ordered.

"Could it be that God really wants to destroy my Yun Dynasty?" Looking at the roaring and galloping water dragon, the emperor couldn't help but become depressed.

Although there is a road to bypass the Wei River, it will take more than 800 miles to walk, and even if it is a rapid march, it will take three days.

The army marched all the way, and the tired division, even if it reached Jiuquan, would be treated by the enemy army.

"Do you have to make a three-day detour because of the Wei River, which is more than 100 meters long?" Chu Jue punched the stone tablet by the river, eager to smash the stone tablet engraved with the word Weihe, as if this would make this obstructive river disappear.

Xie Xun looked up at the sky, and a sentence was circling in his mind repeatedly, isn't there a similar situation in history?

Absolutely!

I can't remember it for too long, the red, the army, the long, and the expedition encountered a lot of big rivers, what Dadu River, Wujiang, etc., Wujiang!

Xie Xun's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers, "There you have it!" ”

"What's the solution?" Chu Jue came over excitedly.

"I gave the order to go to a nearby village to borrow a fishing boat, dismantle the siege ladder, and prepare to build a pontoon bridge."

The flame of hope in everyone's eyes was extinguished in an instant.

"Xie Shizi, I just let people try it, and the boat was washed away when it was put down. No, it doesn't. The official of the Ministry of Industry shook his head in denial.

"This son has his own tricks."

"Marshal Xie is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, if he says it can be done, he will definitely be able to do it!" Chu Jue, as a loyal fan of Xie Xun, did not hesitate to spray the official of the Ministry of Industry, "You stupid fools should hurry up and borrow a boat instead of questioning here!" ”

There were many nearby villages that made a living from fishing, and Xie Xun was generous and soon borrowed thousands of fishing boats.

At this time, Xie Xun had completely recalled the situation of the Red Army crossing the Wujiang River three times, and made sure that there was nothing missing.

Before the pontoon bridge was erected, soldiers jumped into the river and built a bridge to the opposite bank. This time, Xie Xun did the opposite.

On the shore, the pontoon bridge is first completed, and then placed parallel to the river bank. The upper end of the pontoon bridge is tied to the rock with a rope, and the lower end is made into a movable one, which can be turned. One person is at the upper end of the pontoon, and an axe cuts the rope tied to the rock, and the pontoon rotates around the lower end like the hands of a clock under the impact of the river, and the upper end slowly crosses the opposite bank. Soon after, a pontoon bridge spanned both sides of the Wei River.

When the upper end of the rope was cut, Xie Xun lifted his breath and stood up, occasionally with the support of the pontoon bridge, quickly swept to the other side of the river, and when the pontoon bridge was washed to the opposite bank, he struggled to pull the rope at the upper end and tied it to the bank pier built by the Ministry of Engineering.

Although the pontoon bridge built by the Ministry of Industry is a tofu slag project because there are too many moths, the piers on both sides of the river bank are real mountain-like boulders, standing on both sides of the Wei River for decades.

As soon as Xie Xun tied the rope, an earth-shaking shout sounded on the other side of the river.

"Marshal Xie is mighty!"

"Thank you for the majesty of the God of Wealth!"

"With Marshal Xie here, even if God doesn't want to destroy my Yun Dynasty!" Chu Jue also raised his arms and shouted, and by the way, he taunted the accompanying Ministry of Industry officials, "Now you know how powerful my brother Xun is, right?" ”

The official of the Ministry of Industry is now slapping his head in frustration, scolding himself for being stupid as a pig, "How come I didn't think of such a simple solution!" ”

At this moment, the emperor also scolded the fools of the Ministry of Industry in his heart. Let Xie Xun stand up in front of hundreds of thousands of troops again!

If this continues, wouldn't the handsome seal in Xie Xun's hand become more and more secure?

I almost couldn't control it, and I wanted to conspire to kill Xie Xun, but fortunately, I had a trace of reason.

Now is not the time to do it, when the Snow Country is defeated, it is not his word to kill or chop?

He held in his hands the 170,000 army of King Pingnan. He will put these soldiers and horses in the Chinese army. On the battlefield, the Chinese army is the safest, and after the war, there will be the most people left, and the Xie family army has suffered heavy losses, and it is easy to capture Xie Xun!

A good meal is not afraid of being late, for the sake of the overall situation, I forbear!

While crossing the river, a small incident occurred.

Xie Xun was worried that the pontoon bridge would malfunction, so he stood at one end of the pontoon bridge and personally watched the soldiers cross the river one by one.

"You~" Xie Xun grabbed a soldier's arm and twisted it in front of him, "Little Pepper!" ”

Xie Xun looked at the person whose face was half covered by the helmet in shock, "Why did you come with you?" ”

"Why can't I come along?" Si Wenjing vigorously broke away from Xie Xun's hand, held up his helmet, and glared at Xie Xun menacingly, "This girl is going to fight the Snow Country with you!" ”

"Nonsense!" Xie Xun scolded her, didn't talk to her much, and directly asked Jiuwan to call Si Kou to drive people away.

In this western expedition, Si Kou was also ordered.

The barracks are different from the send-off team. There are five princesses in the family sending team, and there are palace maids who serve the five princesses, but there is only one kind of woman in the barracks, and that is the battalion female branch!

In ancient times, it was forbidden to bring female dependents, and those caught would be dealt with by military law.

"Nonsense!" When Si Kou saw his daughter, he was furious, and raised his hand to slap him, "Get back for me!" ”

Xie Xun didn't deal with Si Wenjing as soon as he caught him, and he was already saving face for him. He had to drive his daughter back.

"I'm not going back!" Si Wenjing shouted loudly, "I finally caught up, and I was watered, and I slept in the mountains and forests, I won't go back!" ”

Si Wenjing was not hiding in the army. She also knew that there could be no rules for women in the barracks. Just to see that the pontoon bridge was erected, I was afraid that there would be too many people, and it would be broken before waiting for anyone to finish, and she was stopped in front of the Wei River, so she stunned a soldier and crossed the river in the army.

I didn't expect Xie Xun's eyes to be so poisonous, and he recognized her at a glance......
