Qin Mingdao: "Do you know how Liangshanbo was formed?"
Everyone looked at Qin Ming with some confusion, wondering what Qin Ming meant. Welcome to reading
Qin Ming continued: "In the early Tang Dynasty, there was no Liangshan Lake on our Shandong Road. By the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Yellow River overflowed, and Liangshan Lake was formed, which is the largest lake in the world! From the late Tang Dynasty to the present, the Yellow River has flooded many times.
, Liangshan Bo is getting bigger and bigger, and is known as the Eight Hundred Miles Liang Shan Water Bo! There are islands on Liang Shan Bo, and these islands are where the roots of Liang Shan lie! The father of the traitor Wu Dong
, all the women are on the island! If we dig the channel of the Yellow River and let the rolling torrent rush into Liangshan Bo, we will definitely be able to submerge all the islands on Liang Shan Bo. By then, the traitor's father, it would be best for the woman to be dead, even if she is not dead,
We will catch them even if they escape to the shore! At that time, we can threaten the rebels with their father and woman to protect our country."
After Qin Ming finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Dong Ping was the first to object, saying: "If the channel of the Yellow River is dug, the first ones to suffer will be other places on Shandong Road, or Lianghuai and other places! Moreover,
Liangshan's naval force is strong. By then, the rebel's father and woman have already escaped by boat. We may not be able to catch them, so this plan is not feasible."
The rest Zhang Qing and Huang Xin also objected, but Zhang Shuye fell into deep thought. After a while, everyone looked at Zhang Shuye. Zhang Shuye said: "If it is just to capture the traitor's father, a woman
, there is no need to dig the Yellow River channel! But if Liangshan’s military strength is really strong, if they conquer Hebei, Shandong and other places, we can dig the Yellow River channel to make it difficult for them to go south and buy time for us, the Song Dynasty! "
After Zhang Shuye finished speaking, everyone praised him, and Qin Ming said: "Your Excellency is very thoughtful, and Qin admires it!"
Zhang Shuye had a smile on his face, but in fact he was thinking about the cost of digging the Yellow River channel. If he did that, it might harm the people in the north, but for the sake of the Song Dynasty, these things must be done.
of.
In fact, in real history, it was during this era that in order to resist the Jin soldiers from going south, Duchong, who stayed in Tokyo in the Northern Song Dynasty, artificially dug embankments of the Yellow River in Huazhou, causing the Yellow River to flood! The Yellow River has since changed its course, and its mouth has changed from
The Bohai Sea was transferred to the Yellow Sea! However, although they dug the channel of the Yellow River, they ultimately failed to stop the Jin soldiers from going south. Instead, they flooded the Lianghuai and other places, which were the richest in the Song Dynasty. At that time, more than one million Han people were drowned.

Shaanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other places in the Song Dynasty were nervously preparing. They were waiting for Liangshan's large-scale invasion. However, from Wu Dong's ascension to the present, Liangshan has not yet launched a war.
For Liangshan, the battle in the Central Plains is crucial. Liangshan must be fully prepared in order to determine the country in one battle!
There are so many things that need to be prepared for war, including food and grass, weapons, intelligence, casualty disposal, war mobilization, war plans, etc. Things are extremely complicated!
At this moment, the Liangshan First, Second, and Third Group Armies, with a total of 300,000 troops, are still located in Xixia, and they are ready to go south at any time! The Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Group Armies, also with 300,000 troops, are deployed in Hebei and Hedong areas respectively.
Make preparations for going south! In the far northern grasslands, the army here is also doing mobilization work!
After last year's war, the grasslands have basically calmed down, and now they can mobilize enough troops to carry out the battle in the Central Plains!
The number of men in the grassland who have been tempered by war exceeds 400,000, and 200,000 of them have to go south!
In March, 200,000 cavalry began to move one after another. This time it was Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu and his wife who led them back to the Central Plains! In addition, Yang Zaixing, a warrior on the grassland, was also sent to the army as a vanguard!
Around March 10th, 200,000 cavalry arrived at the foot of Yinshan Mountain! When the Wanggu tribe in Yinshan saw such a large number of Liangshan cavalry in the distance, they were extremely frightened! After the Liangshan cavalry had gone far, they
He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Liangshan’s target was not Wang Gubu! If 200,000 riders were killed at this moment,
If the soldiers target the Wanggu tribe, it is impossible for them to resist! The Qiyan tribe, Tataer tribe and other tribes on the grassland that were as powerful as them, or even stronger than them, were easily wiped out by Liangshan. Although they occupied
Yinshan, but if Liangshan is determined to get rid of them, they will only die!
Moreover, the strength of the Wanggu tribe has been greatly weakened over the years. As Liangshan provided less and less supplies, they had to participate in the war in Liangshan, during which many people died. And Liangshan continued
The land lured their tribesmen, and now one-third of their tribesmen have gone to Liaodong and other places.
The Great Khan of the Wanggu tribe stood on the mountain in the distance, with a worried expression on his face. He already had the idea of surrendering to Liangshan in his heart.
"There is going to be a big war in the Central Plains... I'd better wait for the outcome of the final war!" Wang Gubu Khan secretly said.
Although he knew that Liangshan was incredibly powerful, he still had illusions in his heart. He expected that the Song Dynasty could resist Liangshan. It would be best if the Song Dynasty would plunge Liangshan into a quagmire of war. By then, their Wanggu tribe would be temporarily safe, and he also
There is no need to fully surrender to Liangshan.
By the beginning of April, 200,000 cavalry from the grasslands arrived at Yanjing City!
Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu have entered Yanjing City to report to the military headquarters and accept orders! And 200,000 cavalry are taking a rest under Yanjing City!
The Liangshan army has strict discipline. The 200,000 troops stayed here for three days. During these three days, they still trained every day. There was not a single incident that disturbed the people, and no soldier entered Yanjing City without permission. All the soldiers were waiting for the next step.
command.
Yelu Dashi and his nephew Yelu Jinning looked at the 200,000 troops from a distance, and they were shocked! Because of his outstanding talent, Yelu Dashi now helps handle the army's logistics work! Through logistics work, he has a good understanding of Liangshan's strength
The more you know.
"Uncle, the cavalry in front of us are not as powerful as the Jurchen cavalry back then! These 200,000 prairie cavalry alone can be compared with the Great Jin Kingdom back then, not to mention the rest in Liangshan
The army exists! Liangshan is really too strong!" Yelu Jinning said.
"Yes! Liangshan is too strong, and the Song Dynasty is definitely no match for Liangshan! If I were the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I would have fled Bianliang long ago and gone to the ocean, never to come back... Do you know that this time Liangshan mobilized
The number of troops is close to one million!" Yelu Dashi said.
"So many?" Yelu Jinning was also surprised.
"We are responsible for the logistics work, and I gradually saw some of the clues! Among them, 300,000 war supplies for the army were transported to the northwest, 400,000 were transported to the south of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and another 200,000 were transported to Tianjin
Pier location! This
In total, there are 900,000 troops! Back then, whether it was against me, the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchens, or Xixia, Japan, or Liangshan, we had never used so many troops. This time it was a real nationwide battle!
"Yelü Dashi Road.
"Uncle, can you guess how Liangshan launched the attack?" Yelu Jinning said.
"This is not very clear... The 300,000-strong army in the northwest may go south to annihilate the Western Army. The 400,000-strong army in the south of Yanyun should sweep across Hebei, Shandong, and Tianjin. I don't know what the 200,000-strong army is doing.
Reserve army? Liangshan is going to conquer the Song Dynasty in one battle and will not allow the Song Dynasty to take a breath for a long time! Facing such a powerful military and national power, the Song Dynasty cannot hold on for long!" Yelu Dashi said.
"The world will finally be at peace!" Yelu Jinning sighed.
On April 5th, 200,000 prairie cavalry continued south. They entered the Hejian Prefecture area of Yingzhou. Now the number of troops gathered here has exceeded 400,000, of which the cavalry actually accounted for the majority. The Han people in the Central Plains have not seen them for many years.
Passed so many cavalry!
Even when the war was about to begin, Hebei still continued to transport a large number of people. This time, the person escorting the people was still a man named Jiang. He came here with dozens of soldiers and pressed thousands of people!
Seeing the continuous tents here from a distance, the scalp of the man named Jiang felt a little numb!
He has never seen so many people in his life! You know, there are not only army soldiers gathered here at this moment, but also civilians in charge of logistics, and the number of civilians is more than the number of soldiers! Outside Hejian Mansion at this moment
, there are camps everywhere within a radius of dozens of miles. There are more than one million soldiers and civilians who have come here, and all kinds of materials are piled up like mountains!
