Chapter 403 Ji Ling: What Does It Mean to Be Ruined for Life After Meeting Lü Bu? [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"When we first met at Fengling Ferry, we lost our lives when we saw Yang Guo!"

Lu Bu was driving an assault boat, observing the hydrological conditions and reciting verses from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". He felt that he had the temperament of a knight-errant.

His personal guard captain Song Xian asked:

"General, in which dynasty does the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" take place? Can we meet it?"

"That's a story from the Southern Song Dynasty. How can you meet such a shit...what? You still want to chop off your own arm and become Yang Guo?"

Song Xian took off his helmet and flipped his hair coquettishly:

"General, don't you think my melancholy temperament is similar to that of Yang Guo?"

Lu Bu turned his face and looked this guy up and down, and nodded seriously:

"Yeah, it's exactly the same as the sculpture next to Yang Guo."

Song Xian: "..."

I thought that I, the most beautiful person in Bingzhou, was demoted to be so worthless... That idiot Wei Xu was right, the general was indeed equally jealous of every man who was more handsome than him.

Come on, just treat it as a work-related injury!

The assault boat continued to move forward. Not long after leaving Pusakajin, various undercurrents began to surge, and the mother river of Chinese civilization seemed to have become violent.

Only then did Lu Bu finally understand why the soldiers and horses of Hedong County could just guard Pubanjin alone. The hydrological conditions here were not suitable for building a ferry at all, let alone building a pontoon bridge.

While controlling his speed, he used the walkie-talkie to notify the assault boat following:

"Pay attention to the undercurrent, don't get caught up in it, don't go in the middle."

After notifying everyone, he asked Song Xian to dial the intercom to Tongguan:

"Jun Yi, have Ji Ling and Du Ji arrived?"

Zhang He immediately reported:

"We arrived at five o'clock this morning. Now the army is resting. General Ji Ling and the army's staff officer Du Bohou used drones to conduct reconnaissance at Fenglingdu. There are no defenders on the other side, and there seem to be only one or two thousand people in Hebei County."

Very good, this is what a general should look like!

Lu Bu asked again:

"When did Zhou Yu and Ma Chao cross Tongguan?"

"Yesterday evening, they were all cavalry, and they were faster. While eating here, Zhou Gongjin planned to lead people across the river to investigate and find a route over Zhongtiao Mountain."

Although Dayang County is located in the gentle zone of Zhongtiao Mountain, there are still many mountain streams and ravines. You need to use a drone to find the correct route in advance. When you reach Wucheng Town on the mountain, you will find a lot of fertile farmland.

After crossing Wucheng and climbing over a slightly rugged mountain road, we arrived at the hinterland of Hedong County.

On the left is Yuncheng Salt Lake, which is rich in salt. A little further on the right is Anyi, the seat of Hedong County. If the cavalry were faster, everyone might have rushed in before the defenders could close the door in time.

After Lu Bu finished chatting with Zhang He, he contacted Gao Shun through the relay station in Tongguan:

"What's up, are you ready?"

"General Qi, a few days ago, the last general sent more than a hundred people to cross the Yellow River to investigate the route over the mountain."

Look, when Zhou Yu was thinking about this, Gao Shun had already sent someone to do it.

So what if there is no floating bridge? Still couldn't stop Gao Shun's scouts.

"How's it going?"

"They carried chainsaws, drones and other items, and opened up a route for the army to walk. It is said that there are more than 10,000 acres of fertile land on the top of the mountain. We have drawn up the specific information in an atlas. When the general arrives in Shaanxi County, he will know it at a glance ”

Such a good subordinate, I actually didn't trust him in the original work... Lu Bu wanted to slap himself twice:

"Thank you for your hard work... Where is Xu Rong now?"

"He led his troops to escort Governor Zhong across Mianchi... It is said that bandits are rampant in Luoyang City. He plans to echo General Han Sheng and attack the bandits in the city from two sides!"

Old Man Huang led his troops all the way north from Wancheng, occupying Pheasant County, Luyang County, Liangxian County and other places. Now he has just captured Luhun Pass, which is only one step away from Luoyang.

Zhong Yao, who was on his way to take office, had already contacted Huang Zhong. Hearing from the people in Xin'an County that bandits were rampant in Luoyang, he immediately ordered that Old Man Huang's troops be divided into two groups and attack Luoyang City from the east and south.

The troops led by Xu Rong entered from the west gate and drove the bandits in the city north.

And to the north is the Yellow River. These bandits will either cross the river and be killed by Zhang Yang Yiyi, or they will be chased by their own troops. Anyway, they will not have an easy time.

In addition, Zhong Yao also ordered that all the bandits who caused harm to the party should be killed without taking prisoners.

In troubled times, heavy codes should be used, especially the long-abandoned Luoyang City. Thunderous means must be used to shock Xiaoxiao, so that it will be easier to start work in the future to organize the abandoned Henan County.

After Lu Bu takes Hedong County, he will go to Luoyang, get some solar power panels from the real world, get a set of relay antennas, and transport some food and other things, and try his best to help Luoyang get on the right track.

Before Lu Bu comes, Zhong Yao needs to solve all problems by himself.

For others, this may be difficult, but Zhong Yao, who had long wanted to express his ambitions, enjoyed it very much and could calmly design the government office he wanted.

In Shaanxi County, Gao Shun put down his walkie-talkie and a soldier came over to report:

"General, a large number of cavalry appeared ten miles to the west!"

Just as Gao Shun was about to speak, Ma Chao's voice came from the intercom next to him:

"Brother Shun, Gong Jin and I are here. Tell your scouts not to keep using drones to shoot us. It's a waste of electricity."

Gao Shun smiled and replied:

"Okay, I'll notify them right away."

Gao Shun has always been serious about others, but he likes the sunny boy Ma Mengqi from the bottom of his heart.

This little guy is not that scheming, he has a strong desire for knowledge, and he can let go. When he was doing tactical deductions in Chang'an, he never got discouraged every time he failed, and he was not as angry as other second-generation officials.

Now that he has come to Shan County, it is reasonable to welcome him.

Soon, Gao Shun led more than a hundred riders out of the city to welcome Ma Chao and Zhou Yu into the city.

"Brother Shun, we are exhausted, can we..."

Ma Chao smiled and made a drinking gesture.

Gao Shun shook his head, pointed at the mutton soup and naan from Meiwu brought in by his personal soldiers and said:

"I'm sorry, my dear brother, drinking is never allowed in our army."

Zhou Yu's eyelids were working, and he quickly said:

"Mengqi was just joking. Drinking is not as satisfying as eating mutton soup. I was craving for naan with mutton soup on the way."

Brother Shun is strict in managing the army... Ma Chao took out a can of mutton oil and chili from his arms, put some in the bowls of Gao Shun and Zhou Yu, then broke the baked naan and soaked it in the bowl, and mentioned crossing the river for reconnaissance.

Gao Shun put down his chopsticks, stood up and took the atlas that had just been bound together in the morning:

"The route over the mountain has been reconnaissanced, Gongjin can take a look first."

"Thank you, General!"

Zhou Yu has been with Ma Chao for a long time recently, and suddenly met a serious general like Gao Shun, and unconsciously put away his laughter.

He carefully flipped through the album and found a few printed photos in it:

"Is this taken on the opposite mountain?"

"Yes, we have a printer here, which is specially used to print important photos... Did Gongjin see anything?"

These photos are all photos of building a passage on the mountain stream. Four trees with a thickness of one arm are placed side by side on the mountain stream to form a simple wooden bridge.

In order to facilitate everyone to pass through, the gaps between the trees are filled with mud, which looks like a plane.

Comparing the width of the horse, Zhou Yu frowned and said:

"The passage is still too narrow. At least six or eight trees are needed...General, can I go to the other side of the river to have a look?"

The wooden bridge built by four trees can only pass one horse at a time. With so many cavalry, it takes almost a day to cross these small bridges. This is too time-consuming. It needs to be widened.

Passing two horses at a time can save half the time.

A surprise attack has always been about speed, and these small things cannot delay the journey of the army.

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought of this problem:

"I'll ask them to widen the river now. Gongjin should not cross the river for the time being. It won't be too late to cross the river together when Wenhou comes."

Zhou Yu shook his head:

"That won't work. I'm a military advisor this time. How can I stay behind?"

This is the first time that Zhou Gongjin has served as a military advisor. He is determined to become famous in one battle, so he must do it himself.

Gao Shun saw that he was determined, and he liked him a little more:

"Okay, I'll have someone row a boat across the river to send you there after dinner. Mengqi, you protect Gongjin closely. If there were not too few boats, I would go with you."

Zhou Yu took a bite of mutton and said:

"According to the distance, the general can reach Shan County in the afternoon. I watched the video of building a floating bridge. The floating bridge here will be built in the evening. You can take Dayang County first... It's just right that I'll take advantage of this time to go there in advance to widen the road, and then wait for you in Wucheng on the top of the mountain."

The people and officials in Wucheng must be appeased. They must not be allowed to report the news, otherwise the whole game will be lost.

As for Dayang County, the garrison there was only about 2,000 people. Since Shan County had someone, the gate of Dayang County had rarely been opened. It was said that the county magistrate had resigned some time ago and left early.

After a small pot of mutton soup and a whole piece of naan, Ma Chao felt warm all over and his fatigue was swept away.

The three chatted for half an hour, and then led their mounts to the Yellow River. The boatman was waiting in a small boat, and Gao Shun also sent 20 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp to escort them.

Everyone crossed the Yellow River in batches, first bypassing the closed gate of Dayang County, and soon met the scouts who came to greet them.

If it weren't for the importance of opening the road, Ma Chao really wanted to lead these hundreds of people to directly take Dayang County and give his side a good start.

They walked up the gentle slope, and soon the first mountain stream appeared.

This ditch is only three or four meters wide, but it is dozens of meters deep. Zhou Yu looked at the width and asked the soldiers with chainsaws to cut down a few more trees to widen the bridge by one time, and fix it with ropes to prevent it from rolling during the journey.

Soon, the widening project was completed. In order to facilitate getting on and off the bridge, a gentle slope was specially built with soil at both ends. After crossing the bridge, Zhou Yu re-checked the road:

If there are trees blocking the road, just saw them off.

Some mountain roads have a relatively large slope, so they are chiseled into a rough surface with an impact drill, and then woven bags of soil are placed on the side with a lower slope, and the middle is filled with loess and sand and gravel.

After Zhou Yu's planning, the whole road is brand new. Not to mention riding a horse, even a lighter four-wheel drive can easily drive to the top of the mountain.

When they opened the road through the mountains and built bridges across the water, Lu Bu finally came to Fenglingdu in Tongguan.

Fenglingdu and Tongguan are integrated. When Tongguan is closed, Fenglingdu will also stop operating.

Lu Bu parked the speedboat on the shore, said hello to Zhang He, Du Ji, and Ji Ling, then built a temporary "door" by the Yellow River and hurried to the real world.

Soon, he used a forklift to move the materials for building the pontoon bridge one by one.

Du Ji looked at these materials and couldn't help but think of the days in the factory:

“I thought I would be away from industry for a while when I arrived in Hadong County, but I didn’t expect that not only did I see industrial products again, but they even came in handy during the process of crossing the river.”

It seems that rejuvenating the country through industry is really more than just a slogan... In the future, if we free up our hands, we must vigorously develop industry and kick off the industrial revolution in the Han Dynasty!

In recent days, Du Ji has carefully studied the history of industrial development in the real world and feels that as long as education is vigorously carried out, the industrial revolution will definitely be possible in his lifetime.

Although Dahan's starting point is low, the teaching materials and equipment used come from the modern society of the 21st century. Not only will it not take the detour of industrialization, it can even surpass the level of the Industrial Revolution period.

Ji Ling held a screw as thick as his arm and muttered:

"When he came back from Wancheng, the general mentioned Fenglingdu and recited a line of poetry called [The first sight of Lu Bu leads to a misunderstanding of life]. I always felt that the original sentence should not be like this."

The name Fenglingdu is very poetic, but once the name of General Hussar is added, why does it suddenly go wrong?

Of course, he only dared to say this in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. If he was picked up with one hand again, wouldn't it be embarrassing again?

All the materials were shipped, and Lu Bu started building the pontoon without stopping. While he was busy, Zhao Yun's report came over the intercom:

"General Qi, Puban City has been captured. The county magistrate fled in fear of crime. The guard resisted stubbornly and was killed by Zhang Xiu. Now we are counting the treasury and wiping out the remaining enemy troops."

Lu Bu raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It had only been two hours since Zhao Yun and the others had taken full control of the city. This speed was incredible!

"Thank you for your hard work, Zilong. Next, we will start to strengthen the city and appease the people. At the same time, we will send out the cavalry troops to look for King Zuo Xian's men and horses. They must be wiped out!"

"Here!"

If Pusaka County is taken, Jie County, which is closest to here, will definitely call on the army and civilians to defend it with all its strength.

It would be unwise to attack at this time, as it would lead to a fierce battle.

The cavalry can be used to open up the situation and find King Zuo Xian's men and horses in one fell swoop. The short-term repair will also make the soldiers and horses of Hedong County feel that the imperial army is strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and it will be unable to succeed after occupying a county.

If they attack continuously, Wang Yi will definitely lead his people to retreat to the county seat further north, which will affect the effectiveness of Gao Shun's attack.

These strategies were all arranged by Jia Xu in advance, and he also specifically stated that every time he occupied a county, he would first call on the people to hold a grievance meeting, find out the powerful families here, kill those who should be killed, and exile those who should be exiled.

Almost all the powerful families in Hedong are involved in the production of salt and iron, and they will not kill anyone by mistake if they are beheaded next to each other.

Only by eradicating the powerful families will the people's hearts completely surrender, and Hedong County will burst out with the true strength of the money bags of the Three Kingdoms!

The pontoon bridge at Fenglingdu was built smoothly. After it was closed, Lu Bu left an assault boat and took the remaining people down the river to Shaanxi County.

Ji Ling, who had finished his rest, took the lead in crossing the pontoon bridge and reaching the boundary of Hedong County, carrying the same three-pointed two-edged sword as Shi Jin's.

"Bohou, do you want me to divide our troops or go to Hebei County together?"

After crossing the Yellow River, they used telescopes and could vaguely see Puban City due north, while Hebei County, located at the southern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, was farther away.

Du Ji wanted to inspect the territory under his rule and said with a smile:

"go together."

"Okay, you and I will go to Hebei County first, and then turn back after we capture it."

The county magistrate of Hebei County is already on the way. He is a young man from the Xun family. He has served as a minor official in the court before and is now out to get some experience.

As for officials in other counties, their arrangements are basically in place.

There are people from the Ma family, people from the Yang family, and scholars from the factory. They are all ambitious young people who psychologically agree with the imperial court's philosophy of governing the country.

Before coming, Guo Jia quietly found out the details of these people and asked them to swear an oath in front of the statue of Nuwa to ensure that they would not hire the wrong person.

On the assault boat, Song Xian was in charge of driving, while Lu Bu sat on the seat with a sword and a golden horse, gnawing on the braised pig's trotters that had just been packed from the kitchen of the B&B.

"General, what's the name of the poem you wrote last time? How could you return it in one day, even though it's thousands of miles away?"

Feeling the majesty of the Yellow River, Song Xian couldn't help but want to recite a poem. However, due to his limited culture, he had to ask Lu Fengxian, the most educated person in the army, for advice.

Naturally, Lu would not let go of this opportunity to show off.

He casually threw the gnawed bones into the water, pretended to be casual and stood on the bow of the boat, sang Li Bai's "Chao Fa Baidi City" boldly, and then said modestly:

"This is what I wrote when I traveled to the Yangtze River before becoming an official. It's not worth mentioning. After all, the poems are just for entertainment."

Song Xian said enviously:

"The general is too powerful. Unlike me, I can barely recognize a basket of characters the size of cow dung."

Lu Bu, who had just sat down, picked up the pig's trotter and stuffed it into his mouth: "..."

Damn, believe it or not, I will turn you into cow dung right now?

In the real world, in front of the statue, Li Yu watched his old mother's live broadcast, and he didn't know where to start.

You guys like to show off more and more. If Li Bai's masterpiece is plagiarized, then you will plagiarize it. Aren't you afraid that layman Qinglian will ask you for copyright fees?

But compared to Li Bai, Li Yu hoped to see this guy and Sun Facai copy all San Cao's poems, so that Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi, father and son, would always live in the shadow of two funny people.

The queen asked:

"When will Xiaochan and Tongtong go traveling?"

"In a few days, we'll leave when the scores for the high school entrance exam come out. What's wrong, Mom?"

"I asked Xuandu to cut a few branches of the Immortal Peach Tree. If everything goes well, I will ask Tongtong and Xiaochan to bring them to your mother to see if they can be cultivated... Is it the cultivation season now?"

I really don't know... Li Yu called Zhang Ping:

"Mom, can we cultivate plants now?"

"If there are only buds but no leaves, you can try. Those with leaves are prone to necrosis."

Li Yu relayed this, and the queen said:

"The fruit has just been produced over there. When Xuandu gets the branches, I will ask Guiying to bring them to you. If the Immortal Peach Tree can be cultivated, I can give the Heavenly Court a surprise."

Li Yu asked curiously:

"What surprise?"

"Cut off a shackle that Haotian uses to control the immortals!"

Li Yu: ????????????????????????????????????

Aren't Immortal Peach used to increase longevity? How did it become a shackle to control the immortals?
