After leaving Jinyang, Cao Liang did not take the road of Hedong County, but went to the southeast and embarked on the line of the party. Compared with the road in Hedong, the road in Shangdang is relatively rugged, especially in this icy and snowy situation, this road is more and more difficult to navigate.

When crossing the Curb Mountain, the mountain road like a coil of intestines winds and snakes, with towering cliffs on one side and bottomless abysses on the other, and many times, the wheels of the carriage almost pressed to the edge of the cliff, only to startle the minister of the Qincha into a cold sweat, and his face was full of pale color.

The minister complained again and again, why not take the flat and wide official road of Hedong instead of such a steep mountain road, if you are not careful, it is very likely that you will bury your old life here.

In fact, Cao Liang took the line of the party for consideration, Shangdang is the southernmost county of Bingzhou, bordering Hanoi County, and only 100 miles away from Luoyang, and the importance of its geographical location is self-evident.

However, Cao Liang has always gone to Shangdang to check its geography during his tenure as the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Bingzhou, so this time when he returned to Beijing, Cao Liang gave up taking the official road in Hedong and changed to Shangdang, just to see the topography and customs of Shangdang County.

Cao Liang is already ready to deploy his most elite Yue cavalry battalion to Shangdang County in case of emergency, but he still needs to go to the field, only if he has seen it in person, he will be more down-to-earth.

Shangdang is a basin, surrounded by mountains, "the earth is extremely high, and the sky is the party, so it is called Shangdang", such a terrain and topography, naturally make Shangdang a strategic place, Shangdang to the east, is the endless Hebei Plain, Shangdang to the south, is the capital Luoyang, such a location, undoubtedly make Shangdang become a sword hanging over the head of Luoyang.

When passing through Shangdang County to govern Huguan, the minister of the Qincha proposed to go to the Shangdang Taishou to fight some autumn wind.

But Cao Liang categorically refused, because at this time, he had already stepped down from the post of governor of the state, and if he went to the Taishou Mansion again at this time, he would be a little disturbed, even if it was the Yuecai battalion stationed in the party, it was also an order from Wang Ji, and it had nothing to do with Cao Liang.

Qin Cha didn't dare to offend Cao Liang, so he could only dispel this idea, they spent the night in Huguan City, and left Huguan early the next morning and went south.

Originally, it took more than ten days to go from Jinyang to Luoyang, but due to heavy snowfall, the road was difficult, and they walked for more than half a month before they arrived at Xiaopingjin.

However, it coincides with the midnight period of the Yellow River in winter, and the raging water carries a large amount of ice and flows downstream.

The ferry has stopped, because in this case, the ferry is not navigable at all, and if it hits a relatively large block of ice, the ferry is likely to sink, so in this case, no human boat owner dares to take the risk.

There were a large number of people gathered at the ferry, all anxiously waiting for the news that it could be navigated, but standing on the edge of the river and looking at the boulder-like ice that filled the river, many people shook their heads helplessly.

Every winter and spring, when the Yellow River is closed and opened, the Luoyang River section will encounter Lingxun, the Yellow River at this time is extremely dangerous, because the downstream has been frozen, a large number of ice cubes continue to impact the ice dam, causing the water level of the Yellow River to rise, there is a risk of bursting the embankment.

Fortunately, the amount of water in the Yellow River this year is not large, and there has been no danger of bursting the embankment, as the ice in the Yellow River accumulates more and more, the flow rate of the river water is getting slower and slower, and the freezing period of the Yellow River is not far away.

Although across the river from Luoyang, Cao Liang could only stop in Xiaopingjin, waiting for the freezing of the Yellow River, which was more than ten days.

When he was in the state, he was busy fighting every day, and even when he wasn't fighting, he had a lot of official business waiting for him, so it wasn't that Cao Liang didn't want to go home, but he didn't care about it.

At this moment, it is close to Luoyang, but it is out of reach, and a sense of nostalgia inexplicably hits his heart, Cao Liang can only sit in a small wine shop by the Yellow River every day, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.

At this moment, only Li Bai's song "Difficult to Walk" can be used as a portrayal of his mood: "The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars." I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around. If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice congestion river, you will climb the snow-filled mountains of Taihang. Idle fishing on the blue river, suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun. It's hard to walk! It's hard to walk! Many divergent roads, where are you now? There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea. ”

It's a pity that when Cao Liang was chanting poetry, there were not many drinkers in the small wine shop, only a few businessmen looked at the icy Yellow River and frowned, maybe they were trafficking goods to Luoyang, but they met Ling Xun, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to, so they were in a hurry.

These businessmen, who may only have money in their eyes, naturally can't understand the value of this poem, and Cao Liang can only chant it to relieve his boredom, so naturally this poem has lost the opportunity to become famous all over the world.

In this boredom, suddenly one night, the wind blew strongly, whirring for a night, and the next day, before Cao Liang got up, the accompanying guards had already come to report to Cao Liang: "Young master, frozen, the Yellow River is frozen!" ”

It can be seen that this guard is also extremely excited, so close to home but unable to go home, this kind of torment is like a hundred claws scratching the heart, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Cao Liang rushed to the river, at a glance, sure enough, there was no sign of flowing water on the Yellow River, the entire river surface, is a white expanse, obviously this is the result of this cold wave, the northwest wind overnight, directly froze the Yellow River.

However, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, even if the cold wave of this night can freeze the Yellow River, but it is only a thin layer, if you walk on the ice at this time, it will definitely be dangerous.

Sure enough, there were a few anxious people who wanted to cross the river, they walked together, walking on the ice with small wings, but before they reached the center of the river, one of them accidentally fell into the ice cave, fortunately the people on the side were saved in time, so they were not washed away by the undercurrent, if they really fell under the ice, it was absolutely dead.

After waiting for a few more days, when the ice was indeed frozen and firm, Cao Liang and his entourage set off and drove across the ice of the Yellow River to the south bank of the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, they naturally accelerated their journey, almost non-stop, running all the way, and when the sun set, the huge city of Luoyang City finally came into view.

Luoyang, it's finally back! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
