Chapter 537: Successfully Building a Bridge
"Mother, aren't you worried?"
Luo Huai sighed as he looked at his mother strolling around leisurely every day.
Zhu Mingqing smiled: "Don't worry."
Luo Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then asked mysteriously, "There must be a solution, right? Just tell your son, and I promise not to tell anyone else."
Zhu Mingqing: "Really want to know?"
Luo Huai nodded.
If you ask who knows his mother best, it's him.
When I first came here, I was in a hurry to see the Yellow River, but today I acted as if nothing had happened.
I knew there was a solution at first glance.
However, he was really curious about what way his mother could come up with to cross the river.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "I asked someone to build a bridge."
Luo Huai immediately pouts, he doesn't want to give a real reason for deceiving him.
Unless a great immortal came, no one could build a bridge across the Yellow River so quickly.
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. The child will find out eventually."
After saying that, Luo Huai turned around and went to train his troops.
Zhu Mingqing was speechless. These days, no one believes the truth.
…
Rest at sunset and work at sunrise.
Early the next morning, the shouts of patrolling soldiers were heard from outside.
"There's a bridge! Come and see! A bridge has suddenly appeared on the Yellow River!"
Luo Tingshan walked out of the tent, followed closely by Luo Huai.
Some soldiers immediately rushed to the Yellow River.
Luo Huai suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Luo Tingshan asked.
Luo Huai opened his mouth and shook his head for a long time: "It's okay."
As for what his mother said yesterday, it kept echoing in his mind. Could it really be his mother who did it?
After arriving at the location mentioned by the patrolling soldier, everyone stood there in a daze, staring ahead with wide eyes in disbelief.
A black iron bridge appeared on the surging waves.
They are all made of steel. Although they are easy to rust when exposed to water, they are like divine help to Luo Jiajun at this time.
Luo Tingshan narrowed his brows slightly, already having the answer in his mind.
He knew that Qingqing had a power under her command, and it was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
I just didn't expect that it could be forged and installed in just one day.
Unbelievable!
"General, I've sent people to test it out, and they're fully capable of supporting the army!"
Cao Zeng replied with a happy look on his face.
Although this bridge appeared suddenly, as long as it can be used, nothing else matters.
Even God is on their side, so what are they afraid of?
At the same time, people from the Nanxia military camp discovered the iron bridge.
The soldiers panicked and informed the deputy general of the army of the news. Yu Guangping was still hanging on to his last breath, but he could no longer get up.
Whenever I heard news about Luo's army, I felt extremely regretful. If I had known this would happen, I would never have come to the battlefield.
Knowing that the Luo family army was brave and good at fighting, Yu Guangping wanted to slap himself a few times for his stupidity in seeing the situation now.
Several other deputy generals were discussing in the tent without any hesitation how to deal with the Luo family. Yu Guangping opened his mouth to say stop fighting, they couldn't win.
But he didn't have the strength to utter a single word.
Yet, someone asked him, "General Yu, do you have any objections?"
Yu Guangping: What’s your opinion?
I didn't even hear what you were going to do next.
Then the deputy general said directly: "Okay, General Yu has no objection, then let's continue fighting?"
After hearing this, Yu Guangping made an "ah" sound and expressed his objection.
That afternoon, Lieutenant General Chen led an army of 10,000 and prepared to burn the iron bridge. As long as all the iron was heated, the enemy would not be able to cross.
But Luo Tingshan had already thought of this method, and sent many people to guard both sides of the bridge, while others were also passing through quickly.
War is about to break out!
There was no doubt about the result. Nanxia only occupied the advantage of geographical location. Now even the last checkpoint was forced. Within half a month, Yuzhou was completely lost.
Instead, the people lined the streets to welcome them.
They had long heard that the people in Jizhou and the two states lived a prosperous life and were eager to move there. Now that Yuzhou had also been taken over by the Luo family, everyone suddenly became excited about the future.
When the news reached the capital, Emperor Kaiyuan's legs, which had just begun to improve, suddenly gave way and he fell onto the bed.
"Your Majesty." Cao Sipei was worried about His Majesty's health. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to. The Luo family army was too powerful.
Before General Qiao arrived in Yuzhou, the Luo family had forced Nanxia to retreat step by step.
I just don't know if General Qiao can really prevent the Luo family from entering the pass.
All kinds of twists and turns flashed through Cao Sipei's mind, and he began to think about what path he should take in the future.
At the court meeting.
Everyone was arguing about the Luo family's rebellion.
Emperor Kaiyuan had a headache.
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to make peace with the Luo family. The best plan now is to stop the Luo family from moving south. Otherwise, if the capital is lost, our dynasty will be in danger!" said Tan Guangyi.
"Master Tan!" Liang Zhongling narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you asking His Majesty to bow to the Luo family?"
Tan Guangyi showed no fear of the enemy. "Your Excellency, the Minister of Central Affairs is wrong. This is a last resort. When our army is strong and powerful, we will be able to reclaim the land north of Yuzhou. Besides, if we continue to resist, if the Luo family army attacks the capital, does Minister Liang have any way to force them to retreat?"
He asked questions repeatedly, with a righteous look and an expression of deep concern for the country.
Liang Zhongling's eyes were gloomy. This kid dared to contradict him!
Tan Guangyi smiled coldly, why not?
Everyone in the capital knows that the Liang family has no successor now, and the only adult grandson has also become estranged from the Liang family. Even if you have a little son, who knows if you can still raise him?
What's more, in the future, the Luo family will definitely be the first to target your Liang family.
The grand court meeting ended in disharmony.
Emperor Kaiyuan summoned Tan Guangyi to his study and rubbed his forehead with a headache. "Guangyi, do you really think the Luo family will accept peace talks?"
Seeing that His Majesty was very upset, Tan Guangyi knew that he had taken his suggestion to heart.
"Your Majesty, I believe that simply negotiating peace will not quell the Luo family's determination."
"The reason the Luo family went south was, ultimately, for the battle at Mount Jiao and for the fifty thousand soldiers who died in that battle. If we start from this aspect, we might still have a 70% chance."
