831 Dam building

The fleeing merchant at the next table continued: "Have you heard, this time the support of the Tang army has crossed the Yellow River, and the Handong army has suffered the first defeat since the army, I heard that this time the backup is the third lady of the Li family, who used the soldiers like gods, drove the army all the way north, regained the lost territory, and it only took a few days to defeat the advance of the Handong army and retreat to the shore of the river......

"No wonder I heard that Miss Li Jiasan attacked Liyang City in Jianghuai and retreated in embarrassment, it turned out to be to support Luoyang."

"However, this time the Handong Army only lost 10,000 or 20,000 troops of the forward army, and the main force was still stationed on the bank of the river, and the heavy rain in the area of the river a few days ago rose a few meters, and the army could not cross the river, and the two sides were facing each other......

"What river is swelling? How did I not know? I was in Handan County in the lower reaches of the river, and when I left, I left by boat, and it was strange to say that it rained heavily, but instead of rising, the river fell a lot. ”

"Did you do that when you left? When I left, too, it was almost out of the riverbed. ”

"That's weird."

Hearing this, Zhen Mingku's brows furrowed slightly, others sounded abnormal, but he felt a little weird, and hurriedly listened.

One thought for a while and said: "Listening to you say this, I seem to have a little impression, my family has a distant relative, who lives on the shore of the river, when the Tang army defeated the Han Eastern Army, their family did not have time to escape, and was captured to help the Tang army build fortifications, and then a relative escaped, I knew what dam the Tang army had captured them to build......

Hearing this, Zhen Mingku's expression was shocked. Vaguely thinking of something, the doubts in his heart became clearer and clearer, and he got up and walked to the table of people. "Brothers, I just heard you talk about the war between the Tang Army and the Han Eastern Army at the adjacent table, and I want to ask you about something in my heart, I don't know if you can tell me that the wine and food at your table will be settled by the younger brother."

When those people heard this, they hurriedly gave up a seat, and Zhen Mingbitter asked the shopkeeper Xiao Er to serve some wine and food. Listen to them in detail.

The more Zhen Mingku listened, the more frightened he became, and a terrible scene appeared in front of him, interrupting these people who were talking. Q: "Is the dam built now?" ”

"It should be completed in a few days."

Zhen Mingku no longer hesitated, took out a silver ticket from his waist and slapped it on the table, "Thank you for telling me, my little brother still has urgent things to do." Say goodbye first. Even if your wine and food are in the account of the younger brother, JAC welcomes you. ”

Several people got up one after another to thank them, and when they saw Zhen Mingku, they quickly walked out of the teahouse, and one couldn't help but be curious, and muttered: "This brother Tai is a tiger walker, strong and healthy, and his conversation is also steady and polite, and his eyes are resolute. Presumably not ordinary people. ”

"yes, a man like him. It is really rare to be so humble and shameless, Jianghuai is really the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, it seems that this time it is the right place. ”

A shopkeeper brought a plate of fragrant braised fish, and when he heard their discussion, he couldn't help but laugh and whispered a few words beside them.

Several people shouted: "King Jianghuai?!" ”

……

Zhen Ming couldn't wait for the news from Pei Xingyan and others, and rushed all the way to the military aircraft in Hefei City, after identifying himself, he went to the Ordnance Department of the defenders of Hefei City, took a large-scale off-road mountain bike, and galloped out of Hefei City without caring about the shocking world, all the way to the north, along the official road, rushing through the pass, and galloping in the direction of Handan at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour......

"Be sure to catch up! Don't catch up! ”

If Ling Shuang hadn't snatched his phone away, he wouldn't have been so anxious now.

……

Five days later, he reached the sphere of influence of the Don army.

The roar of the off-road locomotive alarmed the sentinels scattered everywhere of the Tang army, and he was soon targeted by the Tang army, but he couldn't care too much about it, he just wanted to rush to the camp of the Handong army and inform them to avoid a catastrophe that would annihilate the whole army.

It's just that when he was about to enter the sphere of influence of the Han Eastern Army, he was finally notified that the Tang army ambushed on both sides of the official road used tripping pits and nets to capture him with people and cars.

When Zhen Mingku was put down from the net, he only had time to say, "I am the king of Jianghuai, tell you the third princess, I want to see her!" ”

The other party replied with a sneer, "If you are the King of Jianghuai, I am the Jade Emperor!" We still want to see the three princesses, why do you think cats and dogs can see them? ”

A slap of the stick knocked down, Zhen Mingku's eyes darkened, and he fainted.

……

In a canyon channel in the upper reaches of the river, hundreds of collectors are nervously pouring truckloads of mud and rocks into the canyon channel, and the flow of the river gradually closes, and the river gradually becomes smaller and smaller, and finally stops flowing completely.

The person in charge of supervising the work was a soldier wearing the uniform of the Tang Army, holding a long whip in his hand, whipping these widowers, and shouting in his mouth: "Hurry up and work, if you don't finish it before the day after tomorrow, you will not be able to survive if you miss the major event of the military aircraft!" ”

A team of people and horses came from afar, there were hundreds of people, all armed, the war horses were draped in black armor, the flag was fluttering, and the words "King Qin" were written on it, and Li Shimin, the second prince of the Tang Dynasty, rode a high-headed horse to inspect the construction of the dam.

Behind him is the world-famous Black Cavalry of Tiance Mansion.

More than a dozen generals followed him, escorting him, and on his left was a middle-aged Confucian with a pointed face and a white face, with a scholar's beard, riding on a horse, wearing a scarf and holding a feather fan, quite calm and proud of the pearl of wisdom.

"Liu Junshi, how is the dam built?"

The scholar beside him whispered: "King Qin, the fortifications have basically been completed, just wait for the third princess's army to come to meet and obtain the infinitely powerful explosives from her army." ”

Li Shimin looked at the wide and deep water surface intercepted by the dam, frowned slightly, and asked with some concern: "Does this method hurt the peace of the heavens?" ”

Liu Wenjing said: "The King of Qin must not have the benevolence of a woman, although Liu Heimin's 10,000 forward army was defeated by the three princesses, but the 80,000 main force has always been on the other side of the river and has not moved, once the day after tomorrow once the river is crossed, the Tang army is not absolutely sure, in case of defeat, the emperor promised the King of Qin to be the crown prince, I am afraid it will be suspended, as the saying goes, a success will be ten thousand bones, since ancient times, the big thing, informal, everything is for the sake of victory, the winner is the king, as for how to revise the history books in the future, it is all after the King of Qin ascended the throne, history is written by the winner, since ancient times. ”

Li Shimin's brows eased slightly, nodded and smiled: "Liu Junshi's words made this king suddenly open. ”

Liu Wenjing said with a smile: "It's just this matter, please also ask King Qin to hide it from the third princess, the third princess has fallen into a heart for the emperor to slaughter 30,000 people in Hedongxia County, and sometimes has been slow to delay the military aircraft, if you know the battle strategy of King Qin, I am afraid that you will not help from the side, and the most important explosive in this matter is only the Ordnance Department in the Third Miss Army......

Li Shimin sighed: "Since the last battle in Xia County, the third sister no longer trusts me as much as before, and she used to talk to me about everything, but now they have too many words when they meet......

"Why should King Qin be sentimental, the third lady's ambition since she was a child is to unify the world, as long as King Qin can help her realize her long-cherished wish, I think she will definitely understand your good intentions in the future."

"That's all there is to it."

Liu Wenjing said again: "There is one more matter, which needs to be decided by King Qin. ”

"What?"

Liu Wenjing leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, Li Shimin frowned again: "Do you really want to do this?" ”

"The mouth of the people is more than the mouth of the Sichuan, the king of Qin must not be soft-hearted, there are many wild histories in the world, and there are many words that slander the royal family, it is precisely because these untouchables only know one and do not know the other, and spread rumors everywhere, the more ridiculous they are, in order to prevent it from happening, only to eliminate the source, which is also for the sake of the reputation of King Qin in the future."

Li Shimin hesitated for a long time and sighed, "Just do what you want." ”

Hearing this, Liu Wenjing turned around and gave a few orders to a general beside him, who was stunned for a moment and took the order.

Along the embankment, Li Shimin inspected the wide water surface after the water was intercepted, and turned around and asked: "In the battle the day after tomorrow, who should be sent out of the battle?" ”

"Luo Shixin is the best."

"He? I remember that he was a Luoyang general, very brave, a rare general, wouldn't it be too much of a pity? ”

"King Qin doesn't know, this person is two-faced and three-stabbed, no loyalty at all, he served under the Huangtai Lord, but he secretly corresponded with Wang Shichong, false and wronged, in fact, behind the scenes there is an inextricable relationship with Zhen Mingku, Wang Shichong killed the Huangtai Lord, after Zhen Mingku's death, in order to show loyalty to the Li family, he led the army to attack the Qianjin Fort where Wang Shichong's people were located, slaughtering all the old and young in the fort, the means can be described as vicious, this person is a slave with three surnames, must not stay around, just take this opportunity to get rid of ......"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, "According to what you said, the day after tomorrow appointed him to be the forward general and lead two thousand troops to lure the enemy." ”

……

The next day, Ling Shuang led the army to arrive, and Li Shimin rendezvous, learned that the day after tomorrow will cross the river to fight with the Handong army, should be with Li Shimin in the long run, but Li Shimin has made up his mind to fight, and informed the whole army, and then change the words may damage morale, so I had to follow Li Shimin's request, the gunpowder and firearms in the general, moved some to Li Shimin, so that he could quickly decide.

On the third day, the water level of the river dropped sharply, and Li Shimin ordered Luo Shixin to be the vanguard general, leading 2,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river to meet the enemy.

Although Luo Shixin was a little resentful, it was a pity that the military order was difficult to disobey, so he could only lead 2,000 Luoyang troops to cross the river from the shallows of the Hao River.

The Handong army on the other side of the river learned that the Tang army was coming, and also sent 10,000 troops to cross the river to meet the enemy.

The two armies fought, Liu Wenjing on the river bank frowned, the other party only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, it was really not as he expected, the main force was exhausted.

Ling Shuang also arrived with 20,000 elites and watched the battle at another part of the river embankment.

She found that although the Tang army only had 2,000 people, it was a rare force, and the general at the head was even more brave and abnormal, a tungsten iron spear danced vigorously, swept all the enemies in front of him, invincible, formed a two-meter gap around him, and avoided everywhere he went.

"Who is this person?" (To be continued......)
