[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Since the beginning of summer, the rain has become more abundant day by day.

It is said that the trip to Bianliang by Yue Fei and others went very smoothly. First, Qi Qi surrounded Zong Han's army, and then flooded the Yellow River several times, causing the golden soldiers wearing heavy iron pagodas to sink the Yellow River many times.It is said that the color of the Jin soldiers has changed when they hear the river, and it is said that the corpses of the Jin people have piled up in the lower reaches of the hill, and a fire burned for three days and three nights before it was over.

Zhao Yuan felt relieved day by day.

Sure enough, Yue Fei was a calm and reliable general.With him in charge, even a simple attack on the Yellow River can produce flowers.

Now that Bianliang was sure of winning, Zhao Yuan's thoughts gradually shifted to Yanyun.

Just as she had said to Li Gang, the entire Yanyun should be de-Liaohua and de-Golden, so that the prosperous and gentle wind of Bianliang will sweep the sixteen states.With a large amount of gold and silver as the pusher, Zhao Yuan's strategy was carried out quite smoothly.After all, for today's people, the highest ideal is probably "a little wealth and peace".

Bianliang's business flourished unprecedentedly, so Yanyun's business also flourished unprecedentedly.

Bianliangzhouqiao Night Market is famous all over the world, so Yanyun seldom has a curfew.

Bianliang took writing lyrics and composing music as an elegant thing, so Yanyun sang the battle songs of Qin.

Yan Yun!Yan Yun!Yan Yun!

This name, which made all Song people excited, was finally assigned to the territory of Song Dynasty.On the day of Yanyun's return, Zhao Yuan specially ordered people to go to Yanjing. In front of Zongze, a large picture of Yanyun and a whole set of Yanyun's wood sculptures were burned.When she returns to Yanjing, she will pour three cups of strong wine in front of the old general and drink with him all night.

The only thing that made Zhao Yuan somewhat dissatisfied was that most of the work of cleaning up the remnants of Jin and Liao soldiers was taken over by Zhong Yi.This young general who is usually silent, rode his horse and brandished his sword, and swept across the sixteen states. Although he has made great achievements in battle, he has more and more old wounds and new wounds.

She had seriously protested twice, but was refuted by Zhong Yi sternly and sternly.

It is said that it is a young man who will get the fame immediately, and it is said that he will seek the title of Marquis...

She really can't talk to him more and more.

Another thing that confuses her is that Li Gang doesn't like to call her "Emperor Ji" anymore, and always calls her "Princess Yan".She knew that "Princess of the Kingdom" was the title of an emperor since the Han Dynasty, but she just didn't understand why Li Gang was so obsessed with it.

Finally one day, she couldn't help asking Li Gang this question.

Li Gang twirled his long beard slowly, and smiled meaningfully: "It's just a feudal city."

Zhao Yuan was taken aback.

"Princess's current fiefdom is 'Yan'." Li Gang patiently explained, "Looking at the dynasty for hundreds of years, you are the only emperor concubine bestowed by the government."

Zhao Yuan was startled.

Feud!

"The title of Emperor Ji is false." Li Gang continued to explain, "You disliked the Supreme Emperor's edict for too long before, so you didn't read it carefully. But do you know, your fief is a whole 'Swallow'..."

Zhao Yuan was beyond shocked.

She knew very well what the word "Yan" meant.

Nearly a thousand years later, a prince named Zhu Di was named "Yan".

The land of Yan, the fortress that strangles the throat, firmly blocks the gate of the Song Dynasty.If the land of Yan is lost, the soil of Song Dynasty will fall; if the land of Yan is restored, the country will be stable.

Yanyun Yanyun, one is "Yan", the fortress of the throat, and the other is "Yun", which trained the elite cavalry and soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty.Since Zhao Ji wants her to guard "Yan", who does he want to give the rest of "Cloud" to?

She even had some doubts about whether Zhao Ji meant that imperial decree.

And that obvious clerical error "Princess Yan Guo"...

The person who made the order clearly wanted her to guard the gate of Song Dynasty for the rest of her life!

Probably because Zhao Yuan's expression was too shocked, Li Gang twirled his long beard and burst out laughing.Being able to scare this godlike princess of Yan Kingdom gave him a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

"Li Xianggong." Zhao Yuan finally recovered his voice, "Forgive me for saying something outrageous. You have served the emperor for a long time, can you recognize the handwriting written by the emperor?" She even copied the handwriting of the emperor for nearly 20 years. Thin golden body, even a little unbelievable.

Li Gang smiled and said: "I know it."

"That……"

"Princess Yan doesn't need to worry about it." Li Gang gave her a meaningful look, "Everything the officials do naturally has a deep meaning."

Zhao Yuan's breathing was stagnant.

She remembered what Zhao Huan had said to Zhong Yi last time.

She also remembered every word Zhao Gou had said to her.

If even Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou, who seem cowardly, incompetent, selfish and timid, have such deep thoughts, then Zhao Ji...

How could the official princes who grew up amidst the turmoil in the palace be so simple...

"Princess." Li Gang looked at Zhao Yuan's shocked expression with satisfaction, and lightly tapped a stack of documents on the desk, "This is from Bianzhou. Look, it's safe for the generals to act like this." Is it?"

Zhao Yuan chuckled: "Mr. Li really thinks highly of me." As she spoke, she took some documents and read them.

Yue Fei is worthy of being a powerful general.

However, in just a few months, he had already captured Wanyan Zonghan, and together with Wu Jie and others, he escorted this incomparable young master of the prime minister to Yanjing.It is said that the moment the Supreme Emperor and the officials saw Zong Han, their eyes turned red, and they wished they could eat him raw.

The superiors also said that Yue Fei and the others had already been ordered to exercise and train troops in Yanjing, and they were preparing to send their troops to Beijing.

As for the remaining soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, Yue Fei naturally didn't need to pay attention to them, as the local guards took care of them.

Zhao Yuan flipped through these documents with a smile, and asked Li Gang some questions from time to time.For example, Yue Fei personally escorted Zong Han to Yanjing, so what should be done with the remaining golden soldiers in Bianzhou.Li Gang twitched his beard and laughed twice: "Princess is too small to look down on the soldiers. Could it be that they can't fight if General Yue is not here? You know, before General Yue left, he could use the method of attacking the water. And taught it to all the guards!"

Ai?

Zhao Yuan asked curiously: "'All'?"

"That's right, the water attack is too fast." Li Gang sighed, "When the water comes down, at least [-] to [-] gold soldiers will be wiped out. If you kill them one by one, I don't know how long it will take."

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly: "Are these guards safe enough?" Although she believed in Yue Fei, she didn't trust the local regiment's Lianxiang Army.After all, right now, there are too few who can be called a qualified army.

Li Gang laughed loudly: "The princess is relieved."

Zhao Yuan groaned, and continued to read the documents.

A place name slipped into her sight in an instant.

She froze for a moment, didn't pay much attention to it, put the document aside and went on to get the next one.Suddenly, she jumped up, her face was pale, and she almost screamed, "Come here! Get the whole picture of Bianzhou!"

Huazhou!

How could they release water in Huazhou!

Didn't Yue Fei attack Jin Bing in Bianzhou?Why are these defenders releasing water in Slide State!

It's almost fatal! ! !

Li Gang had never seen such a frightened and angry concubine before, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the complete map of Bianzhou, and patiently explained: "Golden soldiers are human after all, and it is impossible to stay in one place all the time. The leader, General Yue, , General Wu caught their leader, beat them up, and it is common sense for them to flee in all directions."

While listening to Li Gang's words, Zhao Yuan carefully looked at the states and counties near Bianzhou, his face turned paler and paler.

"Princess?" Li Gang was a little confused.

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, feeling his heart almost jumping out of his chest: "How did they fight? I mean, how did they use 'water attack'!"

"Is the princess asking about the method of 'water attack'? The old man knows something about it." Li Gang pointed to the map of Bianzhou and said, "Just like what General Han Xin and Han did a thousand years ago, he piled up earth and rocks upstream to let Reduce the water downstream. Then lure the golden soldiers to cross the river. When halfway across, then..."

When Zhao Yuan heard the words "piling earth and rocks", he took a heavy breath, and finally let go of his high-hanging heart.It wasn't until this moment that she noticed that the cold sweat from the vest had soaked the underwear.

"but……"

Li Gang thought about it carefully for a moment, and then said, "In some unimportant places, occasionally some small dikes will be broken."

The heart that Zhao Yuan had just put down hung high again, and screamed: "Where is it! Where is the embankment broken!"

Due to being overly excited, she suddenly raised her voice, which was already a little hoarse.

Don't...don't be...

"Shuazhou."

Zhao Yuan could no longer stand still.

The word "Huazhou" sounded like a thunderbolt, which made her eardrums ache slightly, and she couldn't even hear the slightest extra sound.

God... ah...

How could they... just broke the embankment of Huazhou!

How dare these guards break the embankment of Huazhou!

Yue Fei is not around, they just piled up earth and rocks honestly, how dare they break the embankment!

"Go quickly."

Zhao Yuan grabbed Li Gang's arm and said with difficulty, "Eight hundred miles, hurry up and tell these guards that you can't breach Huazhou's embankment. Regardless of the size of the embankment, not a single one can break through!"

Once the Huazhou dam breaks, the Yellow River will immediately divert!

"Princess, princess?"

Li Gang struggled desperately a few times, trying to shake off Zhao Yuan's hand.But Zhao Yuan was shocked and angry at the moment, he couldn't get rid of it at all.Li Gang couldn't help coughing twice, and said with a red face, "Princess please respect yourself."

Zhao Yuan was so anxious that he almost cried: "The embankment of Huazhou is broken, and the Yellow River is diverted!"

"Can't stop?" Li Gang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "Princess, you are worrying too much. Although the Yellow River floods once every three or fifty years, it is absolutely impossible to divert such a thing. , Fu Bi and others have already dredged the Yellow River and diverted it to the southeast. The water in the Yellow River is gradually slowing down..."

"It will really change its course!" Zhao Yuan was already crying.

"Yes, yes, the Yellow River will indeed be diverted." Li Gang followed her words, "But the last time the Yellow River was diverted was 100 years ago. At that time, Wang Mang usurped the Han, so the Yellow River diverted as a punishment. For 100 years, through the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Yellow River has flooded every few decades, but there is absolutely no possibility of changing its course..."

"Trust me, don't let the Huazhou dam burst! Otherwise, the Yellow River will be diverted!" Zhao Yuan no longer knew how to persuade Li Gang.Because she found that no matter what she said, Li Gang would always treat her as a joke.

Yue Fei has been attacking the water for several months, and the Yellow River is safe and sound. Why should the Yellow River be diverted when it is the turn of these defenders?

The Song army has released water hundreds of times in Bianzhou, and the Yellow River has not changed its course. Why would it change its course when it arrives in Huazhou?

Since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River has never been diverted for more than 100 years. Why is it diverted today?

All the ministers of this dynasty have worked hard to divert the Yellow River, and have already managed the water of the Yellow River obediently.Why would the Yellow River change its course!

Don't say that Li Gang didn't believe it, even if Yue Fei heard these words, he would only think that Zhao Yuan had lost his mind.

Zhao Yuan really cried.

Before she had time to say anything to Li Gangduo, she hurriedly led a fast horse, and immediately galloped away to the outside of the city.Even if she was killed, she would never have imagined that the Jin soldiers would flee from Bianzhou to Huazhou; even if she had been killed, she would have never imagined that the guards, in addition to piling up earth and rocks, would dare to burst the dam!

Even Yue Fei only dared to pile up earth and rocks honestly, but they dared to burst the dam!

If the Yellow River flooded, at most it would only submerge a small piece of farmland along the coast.As long as the local officials bother to arrange it, it will be fine.

If the Yellow River diverts...

Then the large plain from the Huaihe River to the Yellow River, all the way east to the Yellow River and the Bohai Sea, will become a country of floods!

"Di Ji—" She faintly heard someone calling her.

Don't listen, don't reason, don't stop!

Hurry up to Huazhou, maybe you can do something...

"Di Ji!"

A gust of swift and violent wind swept over her side, and then, a pair of powerful arms hugged her tightly, and with extremely superb skills, forcibly hugged her to his horse, pressed her tightly to his chest, softly The voice echoed around: "What's wrong with Diji? Just now I heard from Han Shizhong that Diji ran out in such a hurry without taking anyone with her..."

"Go to Huazhou..." Zhao Yuan said weakly.

"Huazhou?" Zhong Yi was taken aback, "What are you going to do in Huazhou? Even if you're going to the front line where Song and Jin fought, it should be Bianzhou."

"How did I know that they would fight all the way from Bianzhou to Huazhou." Zhao Yuan was already weeping, "Don't let Huazhou break the embankment, don't let the Yellow River divert..."

"The Yellow River diverted?!" Zhong Yi was startled, and then burst out laughing.

He understood what the words "Yellow River diverted" meant.Thousands of years ago, the Yellow River was diverted, and most of the Central Plains were flooded.But now that thousands of years have passed, the Yellow River has already been tamed properly, flowing eastward into the sea every year.

Did Di Ji just say that the Yellow River diverted?

He stretched out his hand and touched Zhao Yuan's forehead, wanting to see if she caught a cold last night and was talking nonsense when she was sick.

"Go." Zhao Yuan was weak.

"Di Ji..."

"quick……"

"Report-"

A terrified voice came from afar, revealing uncontrollable panic and despair.Zhao Yuan swore that she had never heard such a terrified and frightened voice, it was as if she had seen the worst hell on earth...

"Huazhou broke its embankment, and the Yellow River diverted!"

Chong Yi was startled, hugged Zhao Yuan with one hand, and tightly held the horse with the other hand.The war horse neighed loudly, in the bleak moonlit night, it was vaguely horrific.

Zhao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then gradually fell on his chest, sobbing loudly.

The Yellow River diverted its course, and this time, even God couldn't save it.
