This is the most dangerous place in the entire Yellow River, with mountains on both sides. The Yellow River rushes down between the two mountains and spans three gates, so it is called Sanmen Gorge.
Going up from Sanmenxia are Ruicheng, Yongji, and Pinglu counties. After these three counties is the entire Yuncheng. Currently, these counties are located in the upper reaches. The Yongji section of the dam is less affected by the water flow, and there are dam breaks and flood releases downstream, so the impact is
The pressure was relatively small and Yuncheng was saved.
But the situation below Sanmenxia was not so lucky. From Sanmenxia down and even the entire lower reaches of the Yellow River, all suffered unprecedented floods.
The nearby Mianchi is better off because of its higher terrain, while Xin'an, Mengjin, Yiyang and even Luoyang have become Zeguo.
The flood not only submerged cities everywhere, but also submerged all the food grown by the people. Even if the flood is prevented, food will become a big problem in the next few months.
It's just that this issue is not something Qin Huaidao needs to consider right now. For him, the most important thing to do is to block the gap in the dam in the Sanmenxia area.
Under the guidance of Li Chunfeng, the Jin Yiwei and the garrison camped at Zhongtiao Mountain, known as Xiaohuang Mountain, up the mountain from Yuncheng. The entire mountain road was winding and winding, so it was not easy to station so many people.
After being exhausted from marching all the way, Qin Huaidao ordered all the soldiers to rest for a night, firstly to allow these soldiers to regain sufficient physical strength, and secondly, he needed to discuss with Li Chunfeng how to plug all these gaps.
When the camp was set up and many soldiers were setting off fireworks, another group of troops arrived.
It was Chen Wang, the prefect of Lanzhou, and Jiang Yusheng, the kappa, who came from Lanzhou along the Yellow River.
After the two men ordered their troops to be stationed on the spot, under the guidance of the garrison, they saw the mysterious Emperor of the Han Dynasty for the first time.
Within the barracks.
Chen Wang led Jiang Yusheng to bow to Qin Huaidao.
"Chen Wang, Yin of Lanzhou Prefecture, pays homage to your majesty, long live your majesty." Chen Wang bowed to Qin Huaidao in a loud voice. Jiang Yusheng beside him did not say anything, but followed the example of paying homage to the rumored emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Seeing the governor who had traveled a long way, Qin Huaidao showed goodwill: "I remember you. It was you who first reported the danger of flooding in the Yellow River and suggested that the court evacuate the people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in advance. Chen Wang, I didn't expect you to have such ability. In Lanzhou
If you serve in the government, I'm afraid you will be undermining your talents."
Instead of being arrogant, Chen Wang introduced Jiang Yusheng behind him to Qin Huaidao: "Your Majesty, it is not the fault of a humble minister, but the little Kappa friend next to him."
"Oh? You call him a kappa?" Qin Huaidao looked at the little kappa who was under eighteen with curiosity in his eyes.
Chen Wang cupped his hands and said: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. This man's name is Jiang Yusheng. He was met by a man named Jingzhi from Lanzhou when he went up the Yellow River to check the conditions of the river. This man is familiar with the properties of water and can know the properties of water just by sensing it."
The flow rate and rainfall can also be used to judge the sediment in the river. In fact, it is a kappa descended from the sky. He also warned the Yellow River of floods in advance. The minister just passed his judgment to the imperial court and the downstream state highways."
In just a few words, Chen Wang explained the whole story clearly. Listening to these contents, even Qin Huaidao was secretly surprised. How powerful is this little river boy's perception?
Isn’t this the talent sent to him by God?
Is this person’s surname Jiang?
Qin Huaidao suddenly remembered that he had been lucky enough to read a history book of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty before traveling through time. In the book, it was recorded that there was a famous official in water control whose surname was also Jiang, named Jiang Shidu.
Could it be that the two of them are related?
According to the timeline, if the two are related, this person is most likely Jiang Shidu's father. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty has been overthrown by himself, and it is not known whether Jiang Shidu can appear normally according to the historical process.
"Great, I need talents like these two the most at this time. The kappa will naturally make great contributions. After the flood is cured, I will discuss the merits and reward them. As for you, Chen Wang, if you don't have your wise eyes,
, If you are willing to believe the words of the kappa, the people downstream will not know how many tragic deaths there will be, and you also have a share in this effort."
Chen Wangcheng was frightened and bowed to Qin Huai again: "Thank you Your Majesty. I just hope that the flood will be eliminated as soon as possible and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. As for the rewards, they are all optional for me."
These words were modest words from Lanzhou Prefecture Yin, but to Qin Huaidao's ears, they didn't sound like that: "Master Chen has great ambitions and only wants to do things for the people and does not want to take credit. But if
If everyone is like Mr. Chen, then won’t the important officials around me gradually be replaced by those who are arrogant and proud of themselves? No merit will be received without merit. Since there is merit, Mr. Chen, please accept it with peace of mind."
The Lord Yin of Lanzhou wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it carefully, His Majesty's words made sense, so he paid homage to His Majesty the Han Emperor again: "Your Majesty is right, but the humble minister is superficial."
"Okay, since you are here, we can join forces and discuss how to block the dams along the river. If you come, please invite General Luo Wu and Lord Li Chunfeng to come over."
"promise."
The speed of the Jin Yiwei's orders was staggering. After a while, Luo Wu, Li Chunfeng, and several leading generals entered the camp one after another.
Li Chunfeng took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers to light fires and cook rice, and climbed up to observe the terrain of the entire Sanmenxia, and also made a map of it. With this map, it would be more convenient for everyone to travel here.
Seeing Luo Wu and Li Chunfeng arriving, Qin Huaidao quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"I'm finally back. What's the terrain like here?" he asked with concern.
Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "God bless you, Your Majesty, please see, although the terrain here is steep, there are a lot of rocks. If we can make full use of these rocks, we can get twice the result with half the effort."
After that, he laid out the map he drew.
Seeing that the land marked on this map is exquisite, the rivers and mountains form a series of their own, and various cities are also displayed on this map, Chen Wang couldn't help being shocked. When he looked at Li Chunfeng, there was a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I wonder who this lord is?"
Seeing Chen Wang asking questions, Qin Huaidao then remembered that he had not been introduced yet, so he pointed to Li Chunfeng: "This person is a Jinshi of Enke in this dynasty. He is temporarily in charge of the Literature Museum. He is engaged in world literature. He is good at astronomy and geography, numerology, Feng Shui, Yin and Yang.
Bagua, for him, surveying the terrain is like searching for something."
"As for the other one," he pointed to Luo Wu: "This is my guard army commander, General Luo Wu. He is one of the ten generals of the Han Dynasty and holds the rank of general."
Chen Wang repeatedly lamented: "The Han Dynasty has so many talented people, but if it encounters a serious danger that the Yellow River has not encountered in a thousand years, I am afraid that within a few years, it will definitely be prosperous."
"I hope so."
Qin Huaidao let out a long sigh, and then introduced Chen Wang and Jiang Yusheng to Luo Wu and Li Chunfeng. After getting to know each other, the discussion on river management was officially launched.
