Chapter 536 How to Cross the Yellow River
Emperor Kaiyuan remained silent.
He looked at Pei Liang and the other two gravely, until they began to feel uneasy, and then he said, "Since that's the case, pass on my decree. Order General Qiao to lead an army of 200,000 and bring back the head of the Luo family!"
Two hundred thousand, exactly twice as many as before. He didn't believe that he couldn't win by numbers.
Pei Shangling frowned and advised, "Your Majesty, isn't two hundred thousand too many? Southern Xia is currently deploying troops everywhere, so..."
"Sir Pei, how about you take this position?" Emperor Kaiyuan said solemnly.
Pei Shangling stopped talking.
Not long after Pei Liang and the other two left, Tan Guangyi was summoned.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!" Tan Guangyi said respectfully.
Emperor Kaiyuan quickly called him up and asked him to come and sit beside him.
"Your Majesty, I feel so unworthy of your kindness. I wish I could get sick in your place. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The people of Nanxia are waiting for you."
Tan Guangyi's expression was sincere and his eyes couldn't be more genuine.
After hearing this, Emperor Kaiyuan's mouth corners slightly raised.
The coughing fit came again, and Tan Guangyi quickly brought a cup of hot water: "Your Majesty, moisten your throat!"
Emperor Kaiyuan was served meticulously, and even Cao Sipei behind him was amazed.
No wonder Mr. Tan is so favored. If there is someone around you who cares about you so much, who wouldn’t be touched?
"Your Majesty, the court is busy with affairs, so you should rest more. Otherwise, what's the use of us as your subjects?" Tan Guangyi said softly.
Emperor Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Guangyi still understands me."
After that, he told the story of sending General Qiao to meet Luo's army: "Guangyi, do you think this is inappropriate?"
Tan Guangyi pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, I'm not entirely familiar with matters of war and marching. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you should be able to make appropriate arrangements. Moreover, General Qiao has a distinguished record and is the one who is most familiar with the Luo family army. Perhaps he can bring about a different outcome."
Emperor Kaiyuan patted his arm and said, "Guangyi must stay by my side."
Tan Guangyi sneered: "I am unworthy of this task. I will do my best to complete your majesty's trust!"
The two chatted for a while, and when Emperor Kaiyuan felt sleepy, Tan Guangyi left.
The moment he walked out of the bedroom, he couldn't help but look back.
My Majesty, how long can you stay in this magnificent palace?
The moment he turned around, his face suddenly turned cold.
Father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, and all the elders and juniors of the Tan family, Guangyi will definitely avenge you.
…
Yuzhou.
Looking at the rolling Yellow River in front of him, Luo Tingshan frowned.
The only bridge had been cut off. If one wanted to cross, one had to take a long detour and climb over two large mountains before reaching the border of Yuzhou.
But that path simply doesn't work.
In the future, Jizhou and Yuzhou will have to pass through, and the Yellow River is the only way, so the problem must be solved.
"Dad, Mom is here in person!"
Luo Huai trotted over, panting.
Luo Tingshan's mind was full of how to lead the army across the Yellow River. After he reacted, he immediately walked back at a fast pace.
"Dad, wait for me!" Luo Huai hurriedly caught up and couldn't help but curl his lips. Every time his mother was around, his father could no longer see anyone else.
The Luo family army camp is now set up on the hillside.
This mountain faces the Yellow River, and one can clearly see the situation of the Southern Xia army opposite at any time.
"My dear."
Luo Tingshan lifted the tent curtain and saw the woman sitting on the wooden chair, his brows lit up with joy.
Hearing the voice, Zhu Mingqing turned his head and looked with a slightly stunned expression.
The old Luo we met today was wearing a suit of silver armor, which was specially made for Luo Tingshan by craftsmen who studied weapons and steel.
The whole person instantly became majestic.
The wind behind him blows his hair, making him look more majestic.
The door curtain was lowered, and Luo Tingshan strode forward, asking in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Zhu Mingqing stood up and glanced at him up and down: "You've lost weight!"
Luo Tingshan lowered his eyes and looked at himself, confused, "Is there?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded: "Yes, have you been having meals on time lately?"
Luo Tingshan touched his nose and tried to change the subject: "Qingqing, you..."
Zhu Mingqing raised his hand to interrupt: "Alright, I get it. I saved your body, so you must obey me in everything. I will be here to supervise you for the next few days!"
Luo Tingshan's mood suddenly became complicated. He was really surprised and surprised.
"Qingqing, did you come here just to see how I am doing?" he asked tentatively.
Zhu Mingqing glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking about? Didn't you write to me asking for a method to cross the Yellow River? How can you know if it's suitable if you don't come and see it yourself?"
Luo Tingshan couldn't tell whether he felt more disappointed or happy.
At least Qingqing took his words to heart, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled all the way here in person.
He smiled and said, "Then I'll take you there tomorrow."
Zhu Mingqing said, "Now."
Luo Tingshan looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set.
I wanted to go again tomorrow, but seeing Qingqing's determined face, I had to take my people back again.
The two men left the military camp and walked for about half an hour before finally arriving at the Yellow River.
"We can't go any further. The terrain ahead is soft and the slope is steep. If we fall into the water, the consequences will be disastrous." Luo Tingshan pulled the man to a large rock nearby and said, "Let's watch from here."
Zhu Mingqing was also very obedient, and secretly instructed the little world spirit in his mind to replicate the entire place.
The Yellow River channel here is very wide, as wide as fifty meters.
The river is surging and the waves are rolling. A stone thrown into the river will be immediately swept forward and soon disappear.
Compared with the left and right sides, the width here is relatively narrow.
Forget about building a bridge; the time and tools don't allow it.
"Qingqing, have you forgotten that there is also the Xi tribe?" The little world spirit suddenly said.
Zhu Mingqing's eyebrows suddenly lit up.
I'm so busy that I'm confused.
"But even if they can live in water, it's not easy for them to build a bridge."
It’s not that I haven’t thought about transporting it by boat, but looking at the speed of the water flow, it’s difficult!
Furthermore, the ship's height also failed to meet the standards.
It was not until the evening that Zhu Mingqing went directly to the Immortal Palace to ask the Qi Clan and the Zhu Clan if they had any good ideas.
She also drew the Yellow River and marked the width and depth of the river for illustration.
The Zhu clan leader stroked his beard and said, "A fifty-meter-long bridge is not difficult. We can build it, and it can also be kept stable. But how to place it across the Yellow River is something I'll have to worry about, my master."
Zhu Mingqing immediately looked at the Qi people: "How strong are you?"
The leader of the Xi tribe narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I am totally capable of doing this!"
Zhu Mingqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Zhu clan quickly drew a blueprint of an iron bridge. Every ten meters in the middle of the bridge, there was an iron pillar three meters thick. The iron pillars were twenty meters long and could completely penetrate the bottom of the Yellow River.
Coupled with some unspeakable abilities of the Qi people, the stability of the bridge is completely sufficient to fix it.
Even if it can support tens of thousands of people, there will be no problem.
The entire bridge is five meters wide, which is wide enough for chariots to pass through.
"How long will it take to build it?" Zhu Mingqing asked.
The Foundry Clan leader calculated the iron ore reserves and manpower in the Immortal Mansion and said, "Master, it will take half a month!"
Half a month in the immortal palace is not even a day in the outside world.
"That's enough!" Zhu Mingqing said happily, "Clan leader, thank you all for your hard work. I'll give everyone some benefits after this is over!"
The head of the Zhu tribe shook his head, a little embarrassed: "Master, we don't lack anything, but the marriage with the Earth tribe we mentioned earlier..."
Zhu Mingqing: It’s very emo.
Why are you still thinking about this?
The Earth Clan refused, but the Casting Clan clearly refused to give up.
Forget it. At worst, I can just sacrifice my reputation and go to negotiate again.
"I'll arrange for you to meet with the Earth Tribe leader, and you two can discuss the matter in person. No matter what the outcome, no conflicts should arise."
These are the only three intelligent creatures in the Immortal Palace. She will be sad if any of them suffers loss.
