The scout saw that Yuwen Shihong's face had changed greatly, and he instantly put away the joy and heroism just now, and then said what he knew:

"Jingzhong and Mobei...... It's a long way to go, and maybe there isn't much news in Beijing, so it's ......"

"The last general is the Yinzhou garrison...... From the Silver State......"

“……”

Hearing this, Yuwen Shihong was speechless, at the critical moment!

It's the moment of truth!

How can you drop the chain at a critical moment!

He also didn't want to embarrass the messenger scout, and waved his hand to indicate that you could step back.

The scout walked away with a puzzled face, wondering why Yuwen Shihong's face had become like this.

How encouraging the news is that he has repeatedly defeated the Turkic barbarians who have been going south to bully our Central Plains all the year round.

What's going on......

"Report!"

"Your Majesty! The North Shore banner said, 'Send envoys to negotiate'. ”

“…… Rejection. Yuwen Shihong didn't think about it, so he replied to these two words.

Then he paced back and forth by the Yellow River a few times to think about countermeasures, and then quickly returned to the camp tent, looking at the old map over and over again.

Because Qi is connected to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in the east, Qi's ship-building ability is much stronger than that of Zhou, and even Chen's ability to build ships is stronger than Zhou's, even if its combat effectiveness is worse, its ship-building ability is stronger than Zhou's!

And he has only been emperor for less than three years, where can he surpass Chen and Qi, who have developed ships for at least decades, in a short period of time.

"Guerrilla? Guerrilla ......"

Yuwen Shihong muttered about the "art of guerrilla warfare" that did not exist in this era-

Perhaps, they managed to make Yang Shuang and Tang Yong change to Shuozhou in Qi State, and managed to infiltrate some troops scattered to harass most of the Turks in the south.

Can it also temporarily contain the Turks from moving south?

Guerrilla warfare is mainly based on long-term attrition, and it is impossible to achieve any victory.

However, the Turkic reinforcement forces, at least 200,000 people, were scattered and destroyed, and it was difficult to form a delaying force when they were destroyed.

And there is a high probability that the Turks will not transit Shuozhou, and the closest route in a straight line is to take Yanzhou or Youzhou.

"Yanzhou...... Youzhou ......"

Yuwen Shihong's skull is about to burst.

"Herald Liang Dong!" In the end, Yuwen Shihong could only ......

……

Liang Dong led his troops to be stationed on the bank of the Yellow River, eating small rice with salted meat, and glancing at the other side from time to time.

At the same time, I am also pondering how to wade through the turbulent Yellow River.

The Yellow River is not comparable to other rivers, and the width of the Yellow River is at least 200 zhang (666 meters), and it is impossible to wade over.

In the past, when the soldiers were fighting, whenever they encountered a river, they would tie each other horizontally and vertically with a horse lance, and tie it into a raft temporarily and quickly, and cross the river in this way.

The Yellow River is turbulent, and it is impossible for this kind of horse lance raft to cross the Yellow River.

"Your Excellency! Your Majesty summons! ”

While pondering, the Imperial Guards hurriedly came looking for him.

Liang Dong didn't think much about it.

As soon as he saw Liang Dong, Yuwen Shihong directly opened his mouth and said:

"The Yellow River, this trip can't be crossed, but it can't be crossed by Qi State."

"Huh?" Liang Dong didn't know that the situation had changed:

"Does Qi dare to cross the Yellow River? Ha ha! ”

But seeing Yuwen Shihong's face sank, Liang Dong's laughter stopped abruptly, he faintly felt as if something big had happened, but he didn't know the specifics, so he swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively:

"Your Majesty, but there is an emergency?"

"Well," Yuwen Shihong didn't evade, paused between the words, and paced to see if there were any ears outside the tent, and then turned to Liang Dong and said:

"I originally wanted to destroy Qi in one go, but I neglected the Turks."

"After half a month of confrontation, and there was no movement on the other side, didn't the other side propose to send envoys to negotiate? The meaning of delaying time and paralyzing our side is self-evident. ”

"Presumably, there will be a movement from the Turkic side to help Qi."

As soon as he heard this, Liang Dong's face began to look bad.

The Turks are known for their ferocity, and every time they go out to fight, they are hundreds of thousands of troops, and no matter how small the force is, it is also in the number of 100,000, because the Turks are all soldiers.

For the Central Plains, which has always paid attention to controlling the ratio of soldiers to people, every time there is news of the Turkic movement south, there is only a tragic disaster, but it is more or less large.

The ratio of soldiers to people in the Central Plains rarely exceeds 15 times when one soldier is taken, and the most exaggerated is only during the Three Kingdoms period, when ten people take one soldier.

In other words, nine people feed one recruit, and the burden is already extremely heavy.

In that case, the three kingdoms can be called "fighting until everyone is dying".

And now the total number of soldiers recruited by the Zhou State has reached nearly 400,000, that is, six households take one soldier, although it can be afforded under the restructuring, but Yuwen Shihong never wants this kind of catastrophic chaotic period to continue for a long time.

"Whew! This remnant Qi is really! I really don't know who is entering the court! ”

"It's such a lure of wolves!"

"Liang Yuanshi, you come and take a look at the map," Yuwen Shihong walked to the side of the low case and took a seat, pointing his finger directly at Qizhou:

"Under the ground here, there is 'black water' buried, and this black water burns fiercely when it encounters fire, almost compatible with water and fire."

"I order you to immediately and secretly transfer 10,000 troops, no, 20,000, and at the same time order the Jingzhong Casting Supervisor, Ordnance Supervisor, Government Supervisor, and Taifu Temple to fully cooperate with you to build digging tools, impermeable containers, horses needed for transportation, etc., and dig deep wells as soon as possible to find 'black water'."

"I want to use 'black water' to ignite the entire Yellow River."

"The ships of the Qi State will cross the Yellow River, and I will turn the Yellow River into a sea of fire! Let none of the ships of the Qi country pass! ”

Liang Dong only knows that water and fire are incompatible, but he has never heard of any black water, let alone seen the scene where water and fire can be burned.

I always feel that Yuwen Shihong's brain is not the same as before...... Broken......

But Yu Wen Shihong always has the idea of shocking the heavens, and the reform is also, in a wave of opposition, the seemingly tyrant will not leave any famous families in the court, and the faction will inevitably go on with the reform.

Outcome......

The results are not only good, but it is difficult to describe how good it is.

"The last general commands."

Yuwen Shihong thought quickly in his mind, and at the same time took a blank note, and roughly drew a separate Qizhou according to the map.

Subsequently, in the territory of Qizhou, close to the mouth of the sea and the south bank of the Yellow River, several areas were roughly circled:

"Le'an County, East Plains County, try to drill thousands of feet, there is always a place that can drill out of black water."

Liang Dong gasped and ......

"Yes!"

He could only bite the bullet and take the order first, and then slowly think of a way to dig thousands of feet into the ground, which was extremely difficult even to dig thousands of feet in the past.

……

Yang Shuang and Tang Yong, who were "tricked" by Yang Jian into returning to Beijing, expelled more than 40,000 cattle and sheep, and turned back to the south with a slightly slower pace.

Yang Shuang didn't know if it was because he suddenly relaxed, or how, on the way back, he was always dizzy.

A few days later, he finally lost his strength and fell from his horse due to loss of consciousness on the way.
