Chapter 117: Faster
"Chasing the wind? Dark clouds treading snow? It's all good names, I like it. ”
Meng Changge is exchanging feelings with Chasing the Wind, Meng Changge is very good at taming horses, Chasing the Wind is under her, more and more well-behaved, and even the belly is turned over, let Meng Changge gently caress it.
"If you like it, it's fine."
Chen Chao said absentmindedly as he ate fish by the fire.
Abandon a horse and get closer to Meng Changge.
This deal, no matter what Chen Chao says, is not a loss.
Anyway, the horse and the man, in the end, are all his.
handed another fish to Meng Changge and asked her to cushion her stomach, Meng Changge took it and sat down, eating it in a big gulp, not caring about the image of his girl's family at all, Chen Chao just smiled when he saw it.
This girl is really different from the previous ones.
"After eating, you can ride the wind and come back early, come back tomorrow morning, I will let you see how my Yongguan combat power is?"
"Okay."
Meng Changge nodded.
After eating the fish, Meng Changge couldn't wait to call Chasing the Wind, but Chasing the Wind didn't understand why, so he snorted at Chen Chao twice, and looked at Chen Chao with grievances.
Why don't you want it all of a sudden?
Chen Chao came to him, touched the horse's head, said his last goodbye, and whispered a few words in his ear, and then handed the horsewhip to Meng Changge, who rode on the tall horse and turned back into the heroic female general.
With a whip, it slowly disappeared into the night.
……
……
Not long after Meng Changge left, several heads popped up behind the aquatic plants by the river in the distance.
That's Hou Ji, Xu Biao, and everyone with three swords.
"General, how's it going? Have you borrowed any food? ”
"Half the battle."
After speaking, Chen Chao ordered a few people to prepare for tomorrow's drill.
Meng Changge wanted to come over to review Yongguan's combat strength.
Seeing that there was a drama in borrowing grain from the Qin State, several people suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, the drills were all trivial matters, and the Chang Shengjun had not practiced in vain for the past few months.
After a few people left, Hou Ji said: "General, the people from the scout camp have returned, and they have also brought back a detailed map of the dammed lake. ”
When Chen Chao heard this, he hurriedly returned to the city.
After retiring from the guards, in a room, Chen Chao saw the Ning family brothers and sisters, and the two of them set off in the morning with the brothers of the scout camp, and according to Chen Chao's instructions, they went deep into the upper reaches of the Yonghe River, went to check the section of the river that caused the Yonghe River to be blocked and diverted, and drew a detailed map and brought it back.
Seeing that Chen Chao's face was a little pale, he was beaten by Meng Changge, and he had not fully recovered yet, Ning Baizhi was a little worried.
Chen Chao nodded to Ning Baizhi and told her to relax, she was fine, just rest for a few days.
"General, this is the topographical map of the dammed lake." Ning Baiying presented the map drawn by himself with both hands.
Chen Chao took the map, spread it flat on the table, held the candle in his hand, and looked closer, looking at it carefully. On the map, Ning Baiying drew in detail, the dammed lake was originally two high mountains, and the Yonghe River flowed between the two mountains, but more than 20 years ago, for unknown reasons, or heavy rain for several days, or ground movement, resulting in the collapse of the mountain rubble, blocked in the middle of the two mountains, the river water accumulated in it, which was hundreds of meters high, forming a dammed lake.
When the lake reaches a certain height, it flows through the crevices of the lower mountain and turns into other rivers, where the river is diverted.
The Yong River became a small river, and large boats could no longer cross the river.
Listening to Shi Shu, the old school captain, said that the original Yonghe River was very wide, so wide that Yongguan and Sifeng Gate were opposite each other.
The road to Sifeng Gate in the afternoon was originally the riverbed of the Yonghe River.
After reading the picture, Chen Chao called Hou Ji over. The two pointed at the dammed lake, and Chen Chao also calculated the equivalent of the gravel that blocked the river, and finally got an approximate value.
Looking at this value, Hou Ji raised his eyebrows and finally nodded.
"In this way, you will personally take Long Wuwei to arrange the explosion point, whether you can win a big victory in this battle depends on yours." Chen Chao said.
Hou Ji knelt down on one knee to receive the order and took two steps, but he suddenly stopped and turned around, "No, subordinates can't leave, Han Lao has a word first, and there can't be no one around the general." ”
Chen Chao sat down and pointed to Ning Baizhi beside him, "It's enough to have this girl to protect me, besides, now that we are not in the capital, those people's hands can't reach out to Yongguan here, if you really can't put your mind at ease, leave half of Long Wuwei." ”
Hou Ji thought about it and nodded solemnly.
As the leader of the dead soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hou Ji must not leave the Chen Dynasty.
However, now the incident happened suddenly.
Everything has to be prepared for victory in the big war.
If you can really take advantage of the opportunity given by God to flood the bandits, this opportunity must not be missed.
Ning Baiying didn't say a word halfway, just a little curious about the conversation between the two.
Obedient, the two seem to have a way to correct the Yonghe River and use the help of the river to win a battle.
But what is strange about him is that he has seen the dammed lake with his own eyes, and the clogged gravel is dozens of meters or hundreds of meters high, and even if it is dug by man, it will take tens of thousands of adults to dig it through.
But Hou Ji only brought a few dozen people, can he easily do it?
Don't?
Ning Baiying frowned.
He remembered that terrible weapon, which would make a loud noise, almost killing her sister Ning Baizhi.
During the days when she lived in the capital, Ning Baiying also heard that there was a legend in Qingshan County that Lei Gong had come to the world several times and easily exploded the mountain.
Is there really a weapon that can explode a mountain in an instant?
Thinking of this, Ning Baiying's heart was surging, and her body was trembling.
If he could, he wanted to see it for himself.
So, not long after Hou Ji left, Ning Baiying clenched his fists:
"General, my subordinates are familiar with the terrain of the dammed lake, and they have just returned from there, and my subordinates are willing to assist Commander Hou, and I also ask the general for permission."
Chen Chao looked at Ning Baiying in front of him, rubbing his chin with his fingers, thinking.
Hou Ji took Long Wuwei to blow up the mountain, and the people who went to carry out this order, everyone put their lives on the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they would not expose the existence of explosives.
What about Ke Ning Baiying?
Chen Chao fell into deep thought, although there is the existence of her sister Ning Baizhi, Ning Baiying will be Chen Chao's eldest brother in the future, and the two are a family, but now, Chen Chao is far from being able to trust Ning Baiying. But thinking about it from another angle, this is the best time for the Chen Dynasty to subdue Ning Baiying and the Ning family.
"Ahem."
Chen Chao coughed lightly twice, and then said, "Captain Ning, can you know who Hou Ji is?" Who is Long Wuwei? ”
"He is the most trusted and closest person to the general." Ning Baiying replied.
"That's right, they're some of the most trusted people in the world, and they're on a mission that involves secrets that I think are more important than my life."
When Chen Chao said something, he was full of oppression.
Rao is Ning Baizhi stood behind Chen Chao and secretly dragged Chen Chao's clothes with her hands to show her brother Ning Baiying's absolute sincerity, but Chen Chao still had to say.
"My subordinates understand!"
Ning Baiying clenched her fists, bowing her head and not daring to look directly at Chen Chao.
"I can ask you to bring someone over to carry out the mission with Hou Ji, but you have to assure me that you are absolutely heartfelt to me and to the Prime Minister!"
Ning Baiying took a deep breath, her eyes flickering, and she hesitated.
Leaning less, in Ning Baizhi's round eyes and surprised expression.
Ning Baiying didn't have any warning, knelt down on her knees with a "poof", and kowtowed three times to Chen Chao.
Jianghu people, kneeling fathers and mothers, kneeling to the sky and the earth, kneeling to the teacher!
There was no reason to kneel to others, Ning Baiying knelt down towards Chen Chao, and kowtowed his head three times, the meaning of which is self-evident.
……
……
Ning Baiying took some people to follow Hou Ji to carry out the mission overnight, while Chen Chao pulled Ning Baizhi back to his bedroom in Yongguan.
As soon as he returned to the house, Chen Chao was so skilled that he took off his pants.
Ning Baizhi knelt in front of her with a red face, but she didn't speak immediately.
She started by asking a question:
"General, why do you have to ask my brother for a guarantee? The elder brother joined the Changsheng Army, which shows that the elder brother is absolutely sincere to the general. ”
Chen Chao sighed, looked at the ceiling, and responded:
"It's not that you don't trust your brother, but your brother is a naturally proud person, such a person will not easily recognize who is the master, what do you think your brother joined the Changsheng Army for?"
"For me." Ning Baizhi pointed at herself, "My brother was worried about me, so he came along." ”
"Yes and no."
Ning Baizhi frowned slightly, she didn't understand.
Chen Chao looked condescendingly at the girl kneeling in front of him, reaching out to rub her hair.
"Your brother is a naturally proud person, he once went to the palace of the state of Chu to steal the jade seal, and even the palace of the state of Chu comes and goes freely, who do you think he is afraid of? And who are you afraid of? ”
Chen Chao then said, "He is not afraid of anything, but such a person still has his weaknesses, or two weaknesses, one is his family, you and your sister-in-law; The second is your Ning family's pursuit of martial arts, he wants to become the number one in the world, and I can help him achieve this. ”
"The general means that my brother is for gunpowder?"
Chen Chao nodded and chuckled.
Gunpowder, but it can help people kill, and no one can resist its temptation.
After that, Ning Baizhi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Chao's interjection......
