The Yellow River is called the mother river of the Chinese nation. It originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is only separated from the source of the Yangtze River by a mountain. In the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River was called a river, or a big river, just because it had not turned yellow yet. Although at that time the Loess Plateau was
It has existed for a long time, and the vegetation has not been destroyed so much, so the sediment in the Yellow River is relatively small.
The upper reaches of the Yellow River are dominated by mountains and rivers, with rapid currents and relatively narrow river channels, making it difficult to sail boats. They are the best defensive barrier. The lower reaches of the Yellow River are located in hilly areas, and the currents are relatively slow. The sediment washed down from the Loess Plateau accumulates.
Here, the river bed was raised over time and became a world-famous above-ground hanging river. In a year of severe floods, the Yellow River will inevitably overflow and the people downstream will suffer miserably.
The section of the Yellow River where Long Fei is now can be regarded as the middle reaches of the Yellow River. This section of the Yellow River has just finished its galloping journey and is about to reach a gentle place. When wildness and tranquility meet, the river is the most terrifying. There are rugged reefs in the middle of the river.
, the river changes its flow speed and method at will, sometimes galloping like a horse, sometimes calm like a girl, sometimes a huge whirlpool appears, sometimes calm.
"How can we cross the river without a boat?" Dian Wei looked at the wide surface of the river and the slightly yellow water, not knowing what to do.
Everyone felt that this was the biggest problem, and turned to look at Long Fei and Guo Jia. Long Fei smiled slightly: "Now that we are here, there is a solution! Meng Shuo, bring the long rope!"
Meng Shuo hurriedly returned to the car behind and carried several rolls of rope on his back, placing them on the ground in coils. Long Fei, under the gaze of everyone, tied the ends of the long ropes together. He came to the last coil of rope.
Looking in front of him, he took off his robe and middle coat, wearing only a pair of pants. Fortunately, it was summer and it was not too cold. Long Fei grabbed the rope and tied it around his waist.
Guo Jia looked worried: "Lord, are you really planning to do this?"
Long Fei smiled: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, I'm absolutely sure." I think back when their A group army was taken to the beach for training, everyone carried 20 kilograms and swam in the sea for ten kilometers. Naturally, the Yellow River has no
Ten kilometers is nothing compared to that.
Everyone was puzzled, and some of them could see it, and they all knelt down with their eyes wide open. It was rare in the world for a lord to resist danger first. Some even wiped the tears from their eyes fiercely. Long Fei was doing warm-ups.
Activity, while looking at everyone with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as I cross the river, I will follow Meng Shuo's command. Now I order you to cut down as many trees as possible!"
There were seven or eight people standing on the bank holding on to the rope. Long Fei jumped into the Yellow River. The river water was warm, neither cold nor hot, and it felt particularly comfortable on the body. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
, the hand holding the end of the rope tightened again. When Long Fei showed up again, he was already more than 20 steps away from the shore. After passing the slow water area by the river, he suddenly felt that the speed of the water was much faster.
, and the water temperature is also cold.
Long Fei took a deep breath, waved his arms vigorously, and kept slapping the river water to prevent him from being swept downstream. Long Fei's swimming skills were considered to be excellent, but ordinary people would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of such a powerful force. Huang Lao's teachings emphasize smoothness.
It was natural, and Long Fei was obviously fighting against nature. The rapids in the middle of the river were only about ten steps, so Long Fei struggled for a while.
The hearts of everyone on the shore were in their throats. Guo Jia fanned more diligently, and while fanning quickly, he told Dian Wei and others: "Hold on, hold on!"
Dian Wei was also sweating all over. He talked a lot. He was extremely quiet at this time. The hemp rope in his hand was about to be broken by him. The muscles in his arms were bulging high, ready to pull the boss back at any time. He was working.
The rest of the people were looking at the rising and falling black spot in the middle of the river, and their hearts were rising and falling along with Long Fei in the river. The entire bank was quiet, and even the air seemed to be stagnant.
"Okay...!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation. The tense air suddenly relaxed, and everyone had a smile on their face. Meng Shuo wiped the sweat on his head and said with a smile: "Quickly
Work!" Then he immersed himself in chopping down trees.
Long Fei climbed up the bank wetly, breathing heavily. The Yellow River is really moody, and the direction of the water flow is difficult to grasp. Pulling such a long rope behind him was quite tiring. After a short rest, he found a big tree by the river.
Tie the rope to the tree, wave to the other side, lie down on the table, and have a good rest.
Meng Shuo and his men cut down a lot of logs. The logs were actually thigh-thick wood. With Long Fei's rope, as long as there was a little buoyancy, the soldiers could pull the rope and cross the river. In
During Chaoge, Long Fei had already anticipated this situation and asked Meng Shuo to bring a lot of ropes.
The logs were cut into stakes as high as one person, and each person was given one stake. Zhang Ji and Guo Jia did not expect that there were two of them, and they looked at each other. Meng Shuo smiled: "There is no way, if you two have any good ideas,
Then you don’t have to do this!”
Guo Jia looked at it and sighed: "As a scholar, I have to expose my body. If this spreads out, it will make generosity laugh, it will make generosity laugh!"
The injured soldiers were carried by brothers who were good at water. As for the brothers who died in the battle, they tied ropes to the coffins and pulled them from the river. This is the only way to do it at the moment. It is not too late to find a car after reaching the other side.
.
Dian Wei was the first one. The first half was fine. When he reached the middle of the river, he was hit by the strong current and couldn't bear it. If Chen Dao hadn't grabbed him, he would have died. He got to the shore.
, Dian Wei was still scared, lying on the ground, panting, and said: "From now on I will never cross the river again. Even if I fight with those gangsters, I don't want to die in vain!"
Of the five hundred soldiers, one hundred were killed and two hundred were injured. The remaining two hundred brothers relied on Long Fei and the rope to cross the Yellow River. They found a place, lit a bonfire, dried their clothes, and ate some more.
After taking a good rest, it was getting dark. It took a whole day to cross the Yellow River.
Liu Yan received letters from Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and after reading them, he felt a little uncomfortable. He respected Long Fei quite a bit. Liu Yan felt that Long Fei was a man he could be friends with. As long as you treat him as a friend, Long Fei would do the same.
Treat you as a friend. My lord detained Long Fei, but he ran away. Not to mention blocking him along the way, he also suffered heavy losses. He has soldiers but no generals, so what can he do to stop Long Fei? What's more, Wancheng is opposite. Liu Yan is in trouble.
During this period, Wenpin frequently mobilized troops, and now he understood the reason. It would definitely not work if he mobilized a large army. If he only sent a small army, he would not be sure to stop Long Fei. Therefore, it was very difficult for Liu Yan. Deputy General Cai Yang said: "Sir,
Since Long Fei is the lord's great enemy, we must catch him. Does the letter say that Long Fei can cross the Yellow River?"
Liu Yan read it again and shook his head: "No! The letter only said that we should send people to stop it!"
Cai Yang frowned: "Our Yingchuan River is not close to the Yellow River. Why did General Cao write to us instead of Grand Administrator Chenliu? Isn't it their territory along the Yellow River?"
"How do I know!" Liu Yan paced back and forth: "Just tell me, what should I do now?"
Cai Yang shook his head. He also knew that this matter was of great importance. If Long Fei was caught, Wancheng would definitely start a war immediately. His own life would not be saved if he let Long Fei go. So he cleverly chose to shut up. Liu Yan did the same.
Consider that Wancheng now does not only have a standing army. I heard that another 20,000 troops have been transferred from Xiangyang and have arrived in Wancheng. Wenpin has an army of 60,000 under his command, but he only has 30,000.
"Vice General Cai, I leave this matter to you! We must stop Long Fei on the other side of the Yellow River and wait for the two Generals Cao to capture him!" Liu Yan had no choice but to use this method.
Cai Yang wanted to refuse, but when he saw the look in Liu Yan's eyes, he could only swallow his breath. He looked at Liu Yan with an ugly face and cupped his hands: "In that case, please give me 10,000 troops, the prefect, and I will go to the Yellow River immediately.
Stop Long Fei!"
"Ten thousand troops and horses?" Liu Yan smiled: "How many troops and horses do we have in Yingchuan? I'll give you a thousand troops and horses, go ahead!"
Without giving Cai Yang any chance, Liu Yan turned around and left. Cai Yang was so angry! The letter clearly stated that a thousand tigers and leopards had been annihilated. What could these thousand soldiers do?
What? However, when the superior spoke, the subordinate had to listen. After coming out of the subordinate office, Cai Yang was thinking about how to handle the matter well without losing his own life. After much deliberation, there was no good solution.
Cai Yang was just walking with his head down, and accidentally bumped into someone. The man smelled of alcohol and was holding a wine gourd in his hand. Cai Yang was furious and pulled out his sword with a cry. Everyone around him immediately moved away for fear of blood splashing.
The same thing happened to him. The man didn't even look at Cai Yang and continued to drink. Cai Yang grabbed the man's collar and put the sword on his neck: "You are so brave. How dare you despise me like this?"
General, I will kill you!"
"Hahaha..." The man laughed loudly: "If the general beheads me, it will be a small matter, but if someone else kills the general, it will be a big deal!" As he spoke, he took another sip.
Cai Yang's sword had already reached the air, but could not fall down. Looking at this man again, he looked strange, short in stature, and dressed like a beggar. Cai Yang asked: "Who are you?"
"Pang Tong is in Jingzhou!" Pang Tong blurted out without any hesitation.
Cai Yang has been in Yingchuan for many years and is close to Jingzhou. Naturally, he knew about the story of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. When he heard about Pang Tong, Cai Yang was overjoyed. He hurriedly put away his sword, helped Pang Tong up, and patted the dust on Pang Tong's body with a smile. He looked left and right.
He took a look and saw that there was a wine shop next to him, so he dragged Pang Tong in. He found a private room and asked the waiter to bring the best wine and the best appetizers, and kept saying good things.
Pang Tong ignored him and leaned on his seat, drinking alone. When the food and wine were served, the waiter closed the door. Cai Yang stood up in a hurry and knelt down in front of Pang Tong: "Mr.
