380 Battle of the Yellow River II

Luoyang, Qu Tutong was still in coma. In modern medicine, it was kidney failure caused by diabetes, which further led to some complications and failure of various organs in the body.

Due to a series of reasons such as insufficient blood supply to the brain, he became unconscious.

Li Yuanxing's team is all cavalry, but there is no double horse configuration. The extra horses have to be reserved for transporting supplies.

One hundred and sixty miles a day, about half of which was led by horses on foot. Li Yuanxing knew that his Guards could go further, but with only one horse, he had to consider ensuring horse power or manpower.

When Li Yuanxing set up camp that night, shipping had already begun at the Jinghe pier.

Wei Zheng, who had just returned to Chang'an from Liaodong, stood on the Jinghe pier without rest. Standing next to Wei Zheng was Cui Junsu.

"Wei Changshi, there is no urgent official document from Henan Province, which means that the Yellow River has not burst. This time, the Holy Emperor does not seem to have the intention of asking the sky to blame himself. What he means is that if the Yellow River really bursts this time,

Aren’t the Holy One and the King of Qin just putting themselves on the fire to roast themselves?”

Wei Zheng asked calmly: "Before His Highness arrives in Luoyang, or after?"

"It was easy to say before, but we didn't arrive in time. It's hard to say after that. His Highness the King of Qin has made too many enemies in the court. Liu Zhenghui's old and immortal people are already uniting with many old guys who were driven home. They won't take this opportunity.

Missed, I mean, Wei Changshi still has to be careful."

"Thanks for the reminder, but what will they do?" Wei Zheng asked back.

"Obviously I didn't dare to do anything nonsense, but secretly, I thought they would collect some evidence and refuted King Qin's reputation first. This time King Qin wanted to fight against natural disasters. Even the Holy One said this to himself. He didn't even dare to say this. If you win, let it go, and if you lose,

It can be said that there is only a small amount of fighting, but I am afraid that there will be some gossip in the process."

Cui Junsu focused on this point. If Wei Zheng didn't understand, he wouldn't be worthy of becoming a capable minister of Zhenguan.

Qin Qiong, at this time, Qin Qiong's power is needed.

Li Jing is still in Liaodong and has not returned. Due to emergencies, the change of defense has to be postponed.

"Then I'll go to Chang'an once, and there's Lao Shangshu here!"

"Tonight, one hundred thousand sacks and ten thousand shovels will definitely bring good luck!" Cui Junsu and Wei Zheng bowed to each other, and Wei Zheng asked to pass a horse, and Pegasus flew towards Chang'an City.

What Cui Junsu thought of, Li Er had already thought of,

When Qin Qiong met Wei Zheng, he only showed Wei Zheng a secret edict from Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.

"Wei Changshi, the Holy Father said that my younger brother is charging forward, so the elder brother will naturally take care of things at home." There was a hint of murderous intent in Qin Qiong's words. Qin Qiong was not afraid of this kind of fight. He had more than a hundred flaws on his body.

The wound is your own shield. No one in the Tang Dynasty dares to attack you.

At noon on the third day, Li Yuanxing arrived at Luoyang City.

"Your Highness, Luoyang City is right in front of us. We have found out that this is where General Qu said. It seems that the officials there had a dispute with General Qu." An official from the Security Department of the Datang Empire who came to respond gave

Li Yuanxing opened a piece of information and saw that the location was at the junction of three states.

Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Xuzhou, the county at the junction of the three places.

Go up to the county! It is the county magistrate level under the sixth grade, which means that the output, population and tax revenue of this county are very high.

"Old Sun, take the two of them into the city. General Qu's life must be saved." Li Yuanxing said to Sun Laodao.

"I will try my best!"

"It seems that Old General Qu Tu's fate will not survive this year. One more day is worth it. By the way, if he has any unfulfilled wishes, I will help him fulfill them." Li Yuanxing's voice was not loud, and Sun Laodao finished listening.

He just nodded, said a few words, and entered Luoyang City with two capable assistants.

King Qin arrived, and Qu Tutong's eldest son Qu Tushou had received the information.

He, who was in his fifties, was about to leave the city with his soldiers, but his younger brother stopped him: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, must not enter the city because he cares for the people of Luoyang. It is not good for you to mention your father's affairs now!"

Qu Tushou clenched his fist hard and hit the pillar heavily.

"If you don't mention someone, when His Highness the King of Qin arrives, it would be disrespectful if you don't come out to greet him!"

"Brother, please remember not to mention trivial matters too much!"

(I want to explain here that I have always thought that Qu Tutong’s surname was Qu. Today I checked some information and found out that this old general’s surname is Qu Tu. Qu Tu is a complex surname in Chinese characters. It follows a foreign surname from the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Kumoxi tribe belongs to the Yuwen Tribe of Xianbei, the same tribe as the Khitan. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the surname was changed to Qutu, and in the Western Wei Dynasty it was restored to the Qutu surname.)

When Qu Tushou was leaving the city, he happened to meet Sun Laodao entering the city.

He led Mr. Sun to Qu Tutong's bedside. Mr. Sun took his pulse and said, "Prepare your old clothes!"

Preparing old clothes is a pun in the custom of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. One is that the person can no longer support himself, so he should put on the shroud before he dies. The second is to bring happiness. In ancient Chang'an, the shroud is meant to bring happiness. The other is to buy

Naturally, I would be very happy if I didn't use it.

"Old immortal, we are ready. I would like to ask, what do you think, His Highness King Qin?"

In terms of age, Qu Tushou was no younger than Sun Laodao, and could be a few years older, but he called himself a junior. This was a sign of respect for Sun Simiao.

"Destiny!" Sun Laodao added after administering a few injections: "Don't be in a hurry to wake him up. He needs to be nursed back to health for a few days. He will wake up in about three days."

After hearing this, Qu Tushou bowed: "I'm going to see His Highness!"

Qu Tushou left the city, and Li Yuanxing's team had bypassed Luoyang and headed for Meng County. The distance between Luoyang City and Meng County was 43 miles, and Meng County was under the administration of Luoyang.

Just when Li Yuanxing was passing through Luoyang, it suddenly rained heavily.

"Your Highness, why don't you take a rest in Luoyang for the night?" Lu Maofeng said from the side.

"Advance!" Li Yuanxing only said one word. Lu Maofeng gritted his teeth and shouted to the team: "Ride! Advance quickly!" After giving the order, he then said to the bodyguard beside him: "Get to the leader of the team quickly. If the road is difficult,

, dismount and walk instead.”

Braving heavy rain, Li Yuanxing's team continued to move forward.

After walking less than ten miles, the wheels of Li Yuanxing's carriage got stuck in the mud. The guards dismounted and came to lift the carriage. Li Yuanxing stood up on the carriage and said, "Prepare horses for me."

Spring rain is as precious as oil, but if it rains too much, it will be a disaster.

Li Yuanxing had just mounted his horse when a small group of knights arrived: "Your Highness, there is urgent news!"

"Speak!" Li Yuanxing's physical strength is far inferior to that of the sergeants who have been practicing all day, not to mention that the King of Qin's army is also the elite of the Tang army. Li Yuanxing can say one less word, and he can save some physical strength.

Just save some energy.

"Your Highness, someone has misled our information. There was a flood in Xuzhou, but it was very small. A hundred people blocked the embankment to block the water, and flooded a hundred acres of fields. It is not a big deal at all. Meng

In the county, there is also a river embankment problem in one area, but it is not a major problem either."

"The information was sent by Qu Tutong's people, could it be wrong?" Li Yuanxing was a little confused.

"Your Highness, we have received this!" Lei Qi's sergeant handed a bamboo tube to Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing opened it and saw that it was the handwriting of the magistrate of Ji County.

"Well, even this king doesn't pay attention to it. It's not Meng County, but Mengjin County!" Li Yuanxing's face turned pale with anger. The difference was only one word, and the distance was dozens of miles.

Meng County is 43 miles east of Luoyang, while Mengjin County is less than 20 miles north of Luoyang.

"Change the route to Mengjin County. Quickly ask Ashinadur to inspect the area and mobilize the people in each county to prepare." Li Yuanxing quickly ordered, then got on his horse and ordered the march to speed up.

Li Yuanxing's team made a large circle and just arrived at a small town near the Yellow River. A thunder exploded in the air, the rain became heavier, and the lower roads were no longer possible. Li Yuanxing was pulled by several guards and dragged.

I walked up to a high ground and saw that the road at the lower level was completely submerged in water.

There was another sound of thunder and the rain was pouring!

"Lu Maofeng, I want information." Li Yuanxing shouted. Lu Maofeng followed the instructions and ran down.

Hasn't Heaven shown mercy to the people? Is this heavy rain really going to turn Henan into a vast ocean? Li Yuanxing's heart was gripped. Is it really impossible for human power to defeat Heaven?

When Li Yuanxing was worried, a river embankment collapsed. Water swarms poured out from the breach, causing the breach to reach fifteen feet in an instant. An old man dressed as a nine-mouth official knelt on the ground and pointed.

He looked at the sky and roared: "Heaven, don't you just open your eyes?"

A few civilians grabbed this ninth-grade official and tried to escape. Hundreds of people had already thrown away their tools.

Do the river workers know what the solution represents?

"The King of Qin ordered to fight against natural disasters!" A black shadow seemed to fall from the sky, and thousands of strong men in military armor were seen carrying large rocks. The huge rocks were flying towards them. One foot long and one arm thick

The giant pointed wood fell vertically from the river embankment into the river, and the wood fell down one after another in an array.

The power of the flood was huge. Seeing that these logs were about to be washed away, the strong man in the lead jumped into the water with a strange roar and managed to hold up the two logs that were about to be washed away with his own strength.

"Fight against natural disasters!"

Hundreds of sergeants rushed into the water to hold up the wood, and more soldiers threw stones into the water.

"Don't, don't throw it away, it's not okay to throw it away like that!" the ninth-grade official shouted.

The escaping river workers came back again. Thousands of sacks filled with gravel began to be thrown into the water skillfully, but the waves in the river came one after another. The sergeants gritted their teeth and held on to the wooden stakes, not moving an inch.

retreat.

At this time, Li Yuanxing had already received the report: "Your Highness, the embankment collapsed. It was fifteen feet long! General Ashina has already led his people on the embankment."

Once the river embankment breaks, it will break continuously, and the flood will spread thousands of miles, and even the gods will be unable to stop it.

Li Yuanxing's heart sank.

Qu Tushou arrived with his people at this time. After seeing the ceremony, Li Yuanxing immediately said: "No matter how many people you bring, throw down your armor and weapons and rush to the embankment immediately."

"It's your order!" Qu Kongshou didn't say any nonsense, and immediately led his men and ran towards the river embankment following Li Yuanxing's personal guards.

At this time, another river embankment began to seep about half a mile away from the execution embankment! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
