Chapter 754 Sailing on dry land
The Yellow River passes through Shanxi and Shaanxi, rolling in between. At Mengmen Mountain, it is like a pot, and the yellow smoke rolls and pours down. Water steam steeps in the sky, rumbling like thunder. The Yellow River and the loess shine, and the canyons and mountains set off each other, forming a natural wonder.
Zhang Jun stood on a high place, looking at the rolling Yellow River water below, and then looking at the mountains standing on both sides, and sighed.
When we arrived here, the Yellow River was divided into two pieces by the Hukou Waterfall and we could no longer sail. Based on past experience, the boatman unloaded goods under the waterfall, and the cart pulled donkeys to overturn the waterfall. The boatman and the boatman were placed on logs under it, which were manually pulled up.
Although the Hukou Waterfall is not high and the boat is not big, it is not easy to turn over? The boatmen shouted trumpets, their faces almost against the ground, and they staggered forward. The wooden boats on the logs slowly moved forward with the sound of the trumpets.
How can this be done? It is October and the time for boating in the Yellow River is not long. How much food can you transport to Wubao Village when sailing on dry land? This year, Jiang Min recruited a lot of new troops, so you can't be hungry like this.
Down from the mountain, Zhang Jun lowered his head and returned to the barracks, thinking of a solution.
At this moment, Wang Zhongfu quickly came down from the upper reaches. He saw Zhang Jun from afar and whispered: "Secretary, good news, good news!"
He raised his head suddenly and Zhang Jun said, "What good news?"
Wang Zhongfu said: "At the end, more than 100 boats will be found upstream, and they are coming here. We just need to transport the food and grass through the waterfall, and there will naturally be ships to Wubao Village. There is no need to sail on dry land, isn't it good news?"
"It's good news." Zhang Jun nodded.
Putting down the wine glass, Wang Zhongfu saw that Zhang Jun was still looking at him. Obviously it was impossible not to say it, but just what to say.
Zhang Jun said: "Number of the cargo and the ship also number, arrange the cargo on board according to the number. When you go north, arrange the manpower according to the number, and don't mess up the order on the road. - The goods coming downstream are naturally transported by the ship from land, is it a downhill? When the goods are transported to the place, they will sell the ship. How can you do this by transporting goods downstream to upstream? You can see the boater, is it easy to sail on land? I don't know what it means!"
Wang Zhongfu didn't dare to speak, just stood aside.
Zhang Jun sighed: "It's October, and the time for the Yellow River to open to navigation is not long. Why don't you transport grain to Wubao Village quickly? What should you eat then? That's tens of thousands of troops, and eating and drinking is not a trivial matter!"
Wang Zhongfu whispered: "Of course I know. But at that time, everyone said that I could sail on land, so the throne didn't think much about it."
After drinking for a while, eating meat for a while, Zhang Jun raised his head and said, "You have been under Jiang Min for almost a year. Tell me, what kind of person he is. Since he arrived in Shenshan County, he has never seen him again, and I don't know what he has become."
When he arrived at the small courtyard where he lived, Zhang Jun walked into the yard. He stepped into the door with one foot and suddenly turned around and said, "What did Jiang Dutong think! There is a waterfall on the Yellow River, so he doesn't know? He knows that there is a Hukou waterfall, so he won't send people to look for a boat upstream early!"
There is no moon at night, and the stars in the sky blink, overlooking the world.
Wang Zhongfu said: "The chief is not much older than me."
"Smart? Did you think of Jiang Min the first thing you think of is cleverness?"
Wang Zhongfu followed. After Zhang Jun sat down, he said, "Master, how to arrange the ship when it arrives?"
Wang Zhongfu said that it was.
Wang Zhongfu said: "What the commander said is that after the ship arrives, he loads the goods and arrives at Wubao Village in a few days."
Zhang Jun thought for a while and said, "Here we are 600 miles from Wubao Village. Although we are traveling through the canyon, we will reach Wubao Village in seven days - at most eight days. We must hurry up and transport enough food to Wubao Village in October. By November, the river will not be easy to leave."
Wang Zhongfu said: "How dare the last general talk about his superiors?"
Zhang Jun laughed and said, "Depending on your age, you are quite good at speaking."
Zhang Jun nodded and sighed: "Yes, Jiang Min is smart, and not ordinary smart. However, marching and fighting are not smart."
Zhang Jun looked up at Wang Zhongfu and said, "Who said he wanted to drink in the military camp? Why is my yard not considered a military camp?"
Zhang Jun shook his head angrily and stepped into the yard.
Zhang Jun looked at the sky and said, "It's good that the boat will arrive. It's not too early, so let's kill a sheep and drink at night!"
Wang Zhongfu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Wine is prohibited in the military camp. It is not good for the commander to drink."
Zhang Jun smiled and looked at Wang Zhongfu and said, "Do you guys usually get together, don't you talk less? When you're fine, we get together and discuss the Xuanfu meeting. It's a common thing for subordinates to talk about their boss."
Wang Zhongfu said: "It is because everything here is inconvenient that the sky is particularly beautiful."
Zhang Jun laughed when he heard this.
Zhang Jun looked up at the sky and said to Wang Zhongfu: "The night sky here is particularly blue, and even the sky has more stars than Luoyang. If it weren't for inconvenience, living here would be great."
Seeing that Zhang Jun was still worried, Wang Zhongfu didn't dare to speak much and followed him silently.
Wang Zhongfu thought for a while and said, "The Dutong is extremely smart-"
Wang Zhongfu thought for a while and nodded, "Yes. Report things to the governor. Often, if you say it, he will know ten. This is the first time I have seen such a smart person in my life. And it's not me who thinks that way, but everyone thinks that way."
"Yes, yes!" Wang Zhongfu said hurriedly.
Wang Zhongfu smiled and drank a glass of wine.
Wang Zhongfu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, it's not good to lead troops to fight. Sometimes it's not good to be too smart. However, the Dutong man has a clear mind. He has always relied on clever marching and setting up formations, but meticulous calculations and calm formations. The most important thing is to be bold when he should be bold and be cautious when he should be cautious. The last year is under Dutong, and he has never seen Dutong make mistakes."
Zhang Jun nodded: "This is the most important thing. When it comes to leading troops to fight, I can't compare with Jiang Min. But when it comes to being bold and meticulous, he is not as good as me. When I was in the Xuanfu Department, I didn't have much contact with Jiang Dutong and didn't know much. From now on, I would have known more when I was in the same barracks."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jiang Min is the governor, Zhang Jun is the chief commander, one marching and fighting, and the other leads troops every day. For others, these two positions have the same level and many overlapping work, so it is easy to disagree. However, Zhang Jun and Jiang Min were both brought by Wang Xiaoli, so this should not be the case.
