Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 591

The embankment break is located near Sanmenxia, ​​where Tongguan turns eastward for [-] kilometers in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. Sanmenxia is located at the junction of Henan, Shanxi, and Guanzhong in the Central Plains. , looking west to the ancient city of Xi'an, across the Yellow River to the north and echoing the Three Jin Dynasties.

A breach of the embankment here will directly affect the safety of Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is located in the west of Henan Province and in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. One of the most prominent features is "five waters surround Luocheng". It is the place where five rivers converge, and the five rivers are divided into countless tributaries.The Yellow River burst its embankment, and the river water not only washed away fields and destroyed houses, but also caused local water levels to rise.

Originally, there was heavy rain, and rivers in various places rose one after another. Now, due to the impact of the Yellow River's embankment breach, the water level has risen even more. If it is not controlled, Luoyang will be in danger.

Luoyang at this time is as valuable to Li Tang as Shanghai 500 years later. It is self-evident how terrible damage will be caused if Shanghai is destroyed.

In order to deal with this flood, Datang sent out all the emergency services, and there would be six or seven reports every hour.

Knowing that the situation is getting worse and worse, Li Chengqian, the commander-in-chief of flood fighting and disaster relief, broke out in cold sweat. Luoyang may be in danger of being destroyed.

Not only Li Chengqian, but also Wei Zheng's heart is very heavy. The disaster affected a wide area, beyond everyone's expectations. If Qin Feng hadn't proposed a multi-pronged strategy of dividing troops and using the army, then, as the accompanying capital, Luoyang will become a vast ocean.

Looking at the generals who came to rescue the disaster together, Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said loudly: "Water and fire are ruthless. If we stay a little longer, the people will have less hope of life. According to our marching speed, when we reach the breach , I am afraid that the water of the Yellow River has already been poured into Luoyang City, so I think that all the horses should be gathered together and handed over to Zuo Wuwei. One person and two riders, and the way of changing horses does not change people, and the rest of the extra horses are used for carrying. Sacks, with Zuo Wuwei as the lead, rushed to the front line first to repair the embankment."

"His Royal Highness, this plan is feasible." Wei Zheng, who was worried about the people, was the first to agree, and this is the only way at present.

Qin Feng said: "His Royal Highness, I would like to lead Zuo Wuwei to go."

If nothing is done and the floods are serious, it will be like five floods flooding Luoyang, which will cause heavy losses to Datang.Who will bear the responsibility?
The flooding of Luoyang was the loss of the entire Tang Dynasty.He is also very aware of the current emergency situation, and he has no hesitation in going out to ask for orders at this moment.

"Okay." The person Li Chengqian wanted to belong to was also Qin Feng, because he performed well that day and showed extraordinary ability to resist floods. If he occasionally thought of something, he could get the attention of Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng and others even if he said a few words.Seeing that he was the first one to come out, Li Chengqian responded, glanced at Qin Feng and said, "The champion general is a ghost, a genius, and the pillar of the country. Everything is done with his own safety in mind."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Your Highness is waiting for the news of Ben's triumphant return. Everyone, I will take my leave."

"Be careful in everything." Even Wei Zheng became concerned.

After Qin Feng left.

"Master Wei!"

Li Chengqian said: "The most tiring and dangerous work is led by the champion general. I also believe that he will win every battle as before. I am very relieved to have him go. Rescue the people trapped in the flood, open warehouses and open warehouses." Food, maintaining law and order, distributing medicinal materials and other aftermath matters are left to us to do, and the above items are also urgent, so let's prepare to act."

"Sir, obey!"

**********
Qin Feng gathered the soldiers of the three guards, brought horses from the three armies, distributed them to those who were good at riding in the army, and rushed to Sanmenxia without stopping.

In ancient times, it was really not easy to send out a large army for disaster relief.Without the mobility to travel thousands of miles a day, the army rushed to the disaster-stricken area with untold hardships, and the disaster was basically over.The waste of manpower and food for nothing is not worth the loss, so there is no example in history that the imperial court specially dispatched large troops for disaster relief.

However, the situation in Datang happened to be special. The main forces of the Tang Dynasty were concentrated in Guanzhong. The disaster-stricken Sanmenxia and Guanzhong were only separated by a Tongguan, and cavalry could reach it in two or three days.The army was able to rush to the disaster-stricken area in the first time, so Qin Feng's proposal seemed to be tailored to the situation and just right.

Qin Feng only knew that the breach of the embankment was at Sanmenxia, ​​but he didn't know where Sanmenxia was. After leaving Tongguan, he could only travel along the south bank of the Yellow River, rushing from west to east, and passing through the loess canyon of more than [-] kilometers in time. , finally arrived at the breach.

Qin Feng was shocked by the situation before him: the Yellow River is famous for its majesty, especially in the middle reaches after passing the Loess Plateau, it is even more famous for its turbulence.The vast Yellow River sweeps the sediment of the Loess Plateau, rushes in and roars away, forming the world-famous "Yellow River" that flows into the sea.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, the overall water level of the Yellow River rose, and the roaring scene became ten times more majestic.The surging river water vented out along the gap of the dam and rushed to the inland, the power is beyond words.

Qin Feng once faced a [-] Turkic army, and the dust rolled up all over the sky, and the power of more than [-] horses galloping did not make him feel any shock and timidity, but the scene in front of him made his scalp tingle from the bottom of his heart , a feeling of fear arises from the heart.

Facing this power of nature, even Qin Feng felt a feeling of being hard to resist.No matter how brave a person is, facing nature, standing in front of nature will become so small and powerless.

Gritting his teeth, Qin Feng yelled sharply, "Quick, why are you so dazed? Facing the flood, everyone is frightened! Come on, go three miles away to dig the soil and put sandbags for me Go." Facing the tormenting flood in front of him, Qin Feng almost faltered himself, let alone others.

It's not too demanding, it boosts morale loudly and makes the soldiers take action.

After receiving the order, the soldiers got on their horses one by one, turned around and went to collect sand.

Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang brought Niu Jinda up on his horse and said loudly against the wind, thunder and rain: "General, there are mountains nearby, why bother looking far away."

Qin Feng also replied loudly: "Natural disasters such as floods may not be fought by manpower. At best, the loss is minimized. Only nature can really fight against natural disasters, that is, the mountains, the grass, and the trees. Here The turbulent water flow is originally a flood-prone area. If you dig mountains to collect sediment, without natural protection, it is not easy to kill yourself, and it is likely to cause even greater floods in the coming year. You can’t do this kind of immoral thing. Listen to me yes."

When describing natural disasters in later generations, they often add a sentence of man-made disasters, the sky is merciless, drought, flood, typhoon, hail, snowstorm, sandstorm, earthquake and other meteorological disasters, but it is human beings who affect the occurrence of such disasters. Human beings destroy nature and cause natural disasters. Mutation as an inducement.

Although human beings need to develop, destroying vegetation and destroying nature is unavoidable, but knowing the reason, digging mountains to fetch sand for immediate benefit and convenience, destroying the ecology along the Yellow River, and causing greater harm to future generations Qin Feng couldn't do it.

Niu Jinda seemed to understand but didn't understand, but he didn't care about it.What he admires most about Qin Feng is not only his martial arts, but also his sudden, whimsical, and unreasonable conclusions.In the end, the facts proved that those seemingly absurd conclusions were extremely correct, and there were no mistakes, so I followed the lead.

Qin Feng looked at the nearly 20-meter-long embankment that was washed away, as well as the torrent of the embankment pouring in from the Yellow River, and he felt a sense of powerlessness, and his initial self-confidence almost completely collapsed.

He suddenly realized that he underestimated this natural disaster too much, and the power of nature cannot be easily dealt with.Flood control is also a very deep knowledge. Faced with such a fierce flood, how can a layman come up with an effective and reasonable plan in a short time, even with a large army?

"Could it be that we are going to use a deadly method and rely on manpower to forcibly plug up the gap in the dam?" Qin Feng lowered his head in thought, slapped his head suddenly, and cursed himself for being stupid: "If you don't understand, you can find someone who understands..." In his In my impression, the past dynasties will arrange officials to control the water: the famous ones are people like Dayu, Gongsun Bao, and Li Bing.

He didn't remember any famous water control figures in the Tang Dynasty, but in his position, no matter how capable he was, even if he had only a half-tone, he was better than someone who didn't have the slightest tune.

Turning other people's wisdom into one's own is originally what the superiors do.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became enlightened.

As the saying goes, 360 lines of action lead to the number one scholar.

This person has a specialty, and for no apparent reason he lets a layman do the things of an expert, and if he can do it well, it will be a ghost.

It might not work if it was Li Jinglai!In the military, Li Jing is the benchmark in the industry, and he has never been in contact with flood control, so he may not be better than Qin Feng.

This is also the key to Li Chengqian's use of Qin Feng, but he never expected to be able to speak clearly and logically. Qin Feng, who made a lot of brilliant attention, was not at all because he understood, but because he remembered some details of later generations' fighting against floods, so he could come up with some ideas A couple of suggestions.

This time I arrived at the scene of the flood, just like Zhao Kuo talking on paper.

Qin Feng is not stupid like Zhao Kuo. If you give him some experience in minor disasters and troubles, he will be able to cope with such a severe situation.But it is not easy for Zhao Kuo, who is inexperienced, to face this huge flood directly, and it is not easy for Zhao Kuo, who is on the battlefield for the first time, to confront a rare famous general like Bai Qi in history.

Qin Feng usually saves face, but in the face of this situation, it is a small thing to pretend to understand with the cheeky face. If something goes wrong and harms the people, it will be a big mistake.

So without any hesitation, he sent someone to look for Yan Guan.

However, the nearest Hongnong also needs an overnight journey, so you can't just watch the flood rush in.

"I can't wait." Qin Feng gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Come here, lay a pile for me on this side. First, to prevent the breach from expanding, and second, to prepare for the next pontoon bridge."

"Here!" Qin Feng has a high prestige in the army. He gave the order, and the soldiers immediately carried it out. In less than a moment, more than a dozen big stakes were firmly nailed here like plum blossom stakes. On one side of the embankment.
