Do you want to continue your travels or go home?

Going home is what Tan Guohua wants to do most at present, but when he thought of his embarrassing identity as an adopted son, he gave up the idea of going home, fortunately, he still has a relative in this world, that is, his other mentor Cui Cheng.

bought another donkey, which was still gray, so he also named Xiao Gray, and continued his journey all the way north to the rivers and lakes.

Luoyang plays a pivotal role in the history of China's development, and even in such troubled times, it is one of the few prosperous cities.

Tan Guohua stayed here, not because of the prosperity here, but because he planned to purchase a batch of medicinal materials for cultivating iron cloth shirts.

As soon as he entered the city, he had a feeling of being on his back, and after more than half a year of experience, he also mixed up some experience, and did not turn around to look around, but continued to walk forward, but the eye of heaven opened, and soon he found that the person staring at him was actually a middle-aged beggar in rags.

Turning into a more secluded alley, the beggar was very alert and did not follow up, but only looked in at the mouth of the alley.

Tan Guohua found that this was a dead end, and he understood why the other party did not continue to follow, and he let go of Xiao Gray Teng and went to the wall.

The beggar immediately turned around and left, and just a few steps after running out, a figure appeared in front of him.

The beggar, who was originally a little rickety, suddenly burst out with a momentum and handed out his fist fiercely.

Tan Guohua originally wanted to point at the opponent's acupoint, and then tortured him, but found that the move used by the opponent's punch was a rhinoceros hitting the mountain of the mountain-shaking fist, and he simply used the same move.

With a "bang", the big and small fists collided together, Tan Guohua felt a surge of energy into his arms, his body couldn't help but take two steps back, and hurriedly used his true qi to expel that energy.

The beggar took four or five steps back, his arms trembled freely after standing still, in terms of strength, he was a man in the prime of life, and he naturally had the upper hand, but the gap between the dark energy level and the true martial realm was not something that this advantage in strength could make up.

Seeing that the fist hit again, the beggar didn't say a word, drew out the dagger and slashed at the fist that swung over, but he didn't want the fist to shrink suddenly, and then grabbed his wrist like a snake, and then his arm was numb, and there was a "snap" in his ears twice, and his body was unable to move.

Tan Guohua used his silk point hand to restrain the other party, and then dragged him into the alley and began to torture him.

At first, the guy was still very hard-mouthed, but after being ordered with numb holes and laughing holes, and after trying the taste of life that is worse than death, he honestly told the truth.

Hearing that it was the Beipi faction that offered a reward of 100 gold to arrest him, Tan Guohua's face was gloomy, and he was afraid that he would be even more unstable when he traveled to the rivers and lakes in the future.

Originally, he planned to stay in Luoyang for a while, but now he had to change his plan, this person was a five-bag disciple of the beggar gang Luoyang rudder, his whereabouts had been leaked, and it was not difficult to take him down with the strength of the beggar gang.

After knocking people unconscious, he immediately led "Little Ash" to go out of the city from another city gate, near the city gate, and sure enough, he found that there were beggars waiting there, but fortunately there were officers and soldiers at the city gate, and they did not dare to step forward to stop them.

Out of the city, these people will inevitably catch up, and he will definitely not be able to run far at the speed of Xiao Ash, and he is a little reluctant to give up Xiao Ash.

At this moment, an errand suddenly sounded a gong to open the way, and then a large group of people and horses carried vehicles out of the city, and pedestrians on the street avoided one after another, and Tan Guohua was naturally no exception.

Soon after, he saw the silver-armored general who led his troops to besiege the Shaolin Temple, and the things on those vehicles were clearly grain, grass and some military supplies, judging from the official road they chose, they were not rushing to Bianliang, but to the direction of Huazhou.

Tan Guohua's eyes couldn't help but light up, if he followed these armies forward, the people of the beggar gang would not dare to come forward to rob and kill even if they had the courage to do so.

3,000 sergeants plus 2,000 people, the long line is wandering, and there are some business travelers behind, these are all "rubbing protection", as long as they are thousands of feet away from the army, they will not be driven away, this has long become a practice, Tan Guohua is mixed in the business travel.

There were also a dozen beggars around the caravan, and if you look closely, you will find that they are different from ordinary beggars, the largest one has eight pockets on their backs, and the least has four pockets, and all of them have hidden weapons.

Tan Guohua kept a certain distance from these beggars, and at the same time was ready to run away at any time.

After marching fifty miles, the army was sleeping in a small town, and the night was the most dangerous time for Tan Guohua, and those beggars faintly formed a siege, not giving him any chance to escape.

Because it is very close to the army, the night is safe, but you must always be vigilant around, and naturally you can't rest well, Tan Guohua realized that for a long time, you don't need to do it, and you can't support it first, so you have to find a way.

Mengjin Ferry is the largest ferry port within 300 miles near the Yellow River, there are dozens of large and small ships, if it is not difficult to ferry thousands of people and horses in normal times, but now it is the spring flood, the water is monstrous, only two big ships can pass, what is more troublesome is that the grain truck and five hundred cavalry also have to arrive on the north bank, only those two big ships, even if they do not stop ferrying day and night, it will take several days, which is undoubtedly very delayed.

Generally speaking, it is a good choice to build a pontoon bridge with a large number of people crossing the border, but it is very unrealistic at the moment.

The silver-armored general seemed to be very irritable, first reprimanded a few lazy sergeants, and then ordered someone to drive away the following merchants, Tan Guohua had an idea, and said to the soldiers who drove them: "This big brother, the general is worried about not being able to pass through the ferry quickly?"

"What's the matter? Stay away from it, save yourself trouble!"

"Please let the eldest brother report it, and say that I have a way to let the army pass quickly!"

The sergeant looked Tan Guohua up and down a few times, and found that although he was young, he exuded a bookish atmosphere, obviously a scholar, "Do you know the consequences of deceiving the officials!"

"Big brother, just report it!"

The sergeant said something to the silver-armored general, and then Tan Guohua was taken over.

"What's your name, and how can you quickly cross the Yellow River?"

"My name is Chen Guohua, and Cui Cheng, who joined the army in Huazhou, is my mentor!"

"It turned out to be a disciple of Cui Senjun!" General Yinjia's expression was a lot kinder, "You really have a way?"

"There is a way, if you ask the general to cut down some timber first, the thickness must be even, and then make two chains that are enough to connect the two banks!"

"If you plan to make a raft, with the current amount of water, it may not be realistic to cross the Yellow River!" was slightly disappointed by the Silver Armor General, who had just thought of making a large raft, but was denied by the experienced boatmen here.

Tan Guohua smiled slightly, "It's not about making wood, the general just do what I say first!"

"Well, if you do a good job, I will ask for credit for you, if things don't work out, your teacher can't protect you!"

"The kid is willing to make a military order, but he still needs to ask the general to do a favor first?"

"Okay, you can tell me what you need!"

Tan Guohua leaned into the other party's ear and said a few words, and the silver armor general glanced at the many beggars who were mixed in the business caravan, "Yes, those people will be handed over to me to deal with, and the craftsman battalion will be temporarily under your command!"

There are more than 100 people in the craftsman camp, carpenters and blacksmiths, what Tan Guohua has to do is not complicated, it is just a simple cable car across the two sides of the strait, there are only two difficulties here: one is the power to drive the cable car, and the other is that the rope connecting the two sides of the strait must be strong and smooth.

The former he used to pull the "roller" method with animal power, and the more labor-saving pulley block was very wise to abandon due to the complexity of the process, and the latter was what he was most worried about, but when the craftsman battalion made a rope sample to show him, he had to be convinced, these ropes made of rubber bands and hemp rope were not only tough, but also very smooth on the surface, and the link was actually riveted.

The silver armor general also fulfilled his promise and quietly made some arrangements, but he did not immediately do anything to the beggars, but first inspected the craftsman camp with great interest, looked at the ropes for a while, and looked at the huge "roller" that drove the cable car, and then patted the special large wooden box, and the steward of the craftsman camp ran over and came out of Tan Guohua's design concept one by one.

The people of the beggar gang are not stupid, and they found that Tan Guohua was mixed with the officers and soldiers, and they seemed to be particularly valued, and the five hundred cavalry suddenly turned back the same way, which could not help but make them vigilant, and after a little discussion with the helmsmen and his subordinates, they began to break away from those merchants.

When they were far away from five or six miles, they found that no one was chasing them, and they were just relieved that five hundred cavalry came out from behind a small hill, and those cavalrymen were all dressed in iron armor and armed with long knives.

The strength of the beggar gang disciples who came to rob and kill Tan Guohua was far inferior to the Shaolin Temple monks of that day, and the nearby was an open place, which was suitable for cavalry charges, and they scattered and fled after a little resistance, but how could their feet outrun the cavalry? In the end, they were surrounded and killed one by one, except for the helmsman who relied on his strong combat power to injure four cavalrymen, killed one person to capture the war horse and escaped, and the other beggar gang people were all ambushed, including two true martial arts masters, who were also regarded as figures with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes.

When Tan Guohua got the news, the cross-river rope had just been made, and the rope was being transported to the opposite bank by ferry, and then the "roller" and cable car could be debugged.

The next process does not need to be repeated, the cable car was successfully debugged at noon the next day, because the maximum bearing capacity of the rope can only ensure the safe passage of two cable cars, Tan Guohua was not very satisfied, but the silver armor general was very happy, "Brother Chen, this kind of river crossing cable car you created is convenient and practical, and it will definitely be promoted in the army in the future, and I will definitely recommend you to Your Majesty when I go back!"

"The general is polite, and thank you to the general for getting rid of those enemies for me!"

"That's just a handy thing, if Brother Chen is going to see your teacher, it's not as good as the road, so it's good to have a care!"

"Just the general!"

"Hehe, you are not a person in the army, we hit it off at first sight, you can call me Brother Pan!"

There is no harm in broadening the network, the other party intends to make friends, of course Tan Guohua will not refuse, not long after, when he knew that this was Pan Mei, who was framed by the romance and caused the Yang family to be very miserable, his mouth did not close for a long time, this is the first time he has had direct contact with the big man in history, and at the same time, he is a little worried, will the world deviate because of his appearance?

One day and one night, the army crossed the Yellow River, and the cable car was preserved, and later the local government expanded it to eight cable cars in both directions, and Mengjindu became famous.
