  Chapter 743 Chapter 743: Time and time, heaven and earth are all the same (Part 2) [Seeking a monthly ticket]

   It was night, and a hurried message broke the silence.

   "Report—"

  The ongoing combat meeting was forced to be suspended.

  Huang Lie narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

   Although the messenger soldier was wearing a coir raincoat, there was still a steady stream of rainwater dripping from his bun. After a while, there were still obvious water marks under his feet, which shows the heavy rain tonight. When he clasped his fists to report back, his breathing was short and chaotic.

   "Leader, something is wrong, the Miaojiang River and the Miaojiang River are soaring..." His face was panicked by the naked eye.

  As soon as this remark came out, there was silence in the tent.

  Huang Lie even clenched the handrail of the table.

  Although he was born at the bottom, he has seen a lot over the years and is stable in any situation. Huang Lie looked around the expressions of everyone calmly, and said calmly: "Go, go and have a look."

  A group of people wore coir raincoats and went to the bank of Miaojiang River.

   Before I got close, I heard the sound of rumbling water, and when I got closer, the river was turbulent, and God helped it with strong wind and rain, which made the Miaojiang River look very scary tonight. Huang Lie's eyes fell on the temporary water on the bank of the river, the original water level had been submerged by the river.

  He asked the water chief who was in charge of observing the water rules.

   "How much has it increased?"

  Shui Chang replied: "It's already one foot and two inches."

  When Huang Lie heard this number, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, and the rest of the people were also surprised: "In such a short time..."

  This rate of water level rise is really abnormal.

  At this time, someone thought of a possibility: "...Could this be the tyrant's obstruction? After all, the Imperial Seal is in his hands."

  Huang Lie said: "This guess is not impossible."

   Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Zheng Qiao or not, it must have something to do with it. It can’t be said that God is helping Zheng Qiao. If the time is Zheng Qiao, then what are they attacking Zheng Qiao?

  Huang Lie's words calmed the impetuous hearts of the people a little bit, but they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. The whole army is ready for battle, and the morale has been boosted. If the troops are withdrawn or the confrontation continues because of Miaojiang at this time, the morale will be hit too much.

   What's more, they can't afford to procrastinate!

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

   Therefore, we can only fight, not retreat!

  Fight, how should we fight?

   Everyone looked at the mighty Miaojiang River with gloomy eyes, and they could still feel the smell of earth blowing across the rain curtain.

   "...the river is turbulent, which is not conducive to our operations."

  I don't know who spoke out the worries in everyone's hearts.

  The turbulent water flow will inevitably lead to violent pitching of the hull. If the boats are connected with ropes, it can solve the urgent need, but isn't the current wind direction a good opportunity for Zheng Qiao to burn? During the days when they confronted Zheng Qiao's soldiers and horses, they tested it a hundred or eighty times, making small-scale feints, and using all kinds of aggressive methods.

   Once you fight it is quite a headache.

   Everyone hoped that the leader would come up with an idea.

   At this time, Kang Shi asked a sincere question, and deliberately put Huang Lie on the fire: "Is there a solution for the leader? The army delays for a day, and the morale is low for a day..."

   Zheng Qiao is in Okuyama County on the other side of the river.

   At this point, no one should try to hide it!

  Huang Lie's expression was calm, but at a dim angle of vision, he glanced at Kang Shi lightly from the corner of his eye. After a long while, he heard a long sigh from his mouth: "There is a way, but it may be difficult to achieve it with one person's strength..."

  Everyone hurriedly asked what was the solution.

  Huang Lie said: "The river is frozen."

   If you can’t fight water battles, create conditions for land battles.

  Time is so tight, and the flood season is so close, Huang Lie naturally prepared for the worst in advance. This whimsical plan was obtained from the surrendered general Wei Shou. Wei Shou's family lives in a world of ice and snow. The winter is long and cold, and the summer is short and warm. At the coldest time, the ice layer on the river can be three to five inches thick after freezing. Marching on ice is no problem.

  It is unrealistic to freeze the entire Miaojiang River. According to his idea, it is only necessary to freeze the nearby river section for a short time. The thickness of the ice layer should be as thick as possible to ensure that it will not collapse during the battle. If the ice layer can't bear it during the battle, then use morale to melt out the ship.

  Huang Lie's idea is bold, but it is much safer than serial ships. The most important thing is that most of the coalition soldiers and horses are not good at water. Compared with water battles, land battles are naturally more handy. There is no better way to replace it for a while.

  Kang Shi secretly complained in his heart.

  Huang Lie's unrestrained idea is similar to his own protagonist's style. It is really bold to think what others dare not think.

   However, this method has a fatal flaw.

  Kang Shi just frowned slightly, Huang Lie noticed it, and asked him with a smile: "What's wrong with this method?"

  The coalition allies all looked at Kang Shi.

  Kang Shi was calm and composed: "I do have a worry."

  Huang Lie said modestly: "Sir, please enlighten me."

   "Won't this move cause ice to flow downstream?"

   This is what Kang Shi is more worried about.

  The so-called "ice row" is "ice flood", and the blockage of the river channel accelerates the rise of the water level of the river. If the discharge of the downstream river channel is narrow or has not been completely dredged, the downstream may suffer. When Kang Shi's question came out, everyone was indifferent, except Yu Yu's voice was noisy.

Huang Lie replied: "If this battle can be settled in one battle, we will go ashore as quickly as possible. The shortest time is a few hours, and the longest time is a day. The scene that Mr. Kang is worried about should not happen. If we are afraid I don't know when I will be able to kill the tyrant."

   All he had to do was tell Kang Shi clearly, even if this move would really cause problems he was worried about. Now that the overall situation is at hand, they have to make a choice, and they can't give up just because they have scruples. They looked at each other and looked at each other, but Zheng Qiao didn't know how to do it.

  After speaking, Kang Shi's complexion looked a little pale. I don't know if it's the cold wind, the moonlight, or anger.

   Gu Ren said: "We are always different from the tyrant."

  Zheng Qiao doesn't put the lives of the people in his eyes, and does what he wants. How can they be the party to crusade against Zheng Qiao?

  Huang Lie said: "Naturally different."

Some people felt uncomfortable, and immediately refuted it: "Gu Jun's words are wrong. We plead for the people and kill the tyrants in order to save lives and hang upside down. It is inevitable to make some choices. This is, Abandoning small gains for big gains.”

   "This statement is very true."

  Wu Xian didn't make a statement, but just watched Miaojiang in a daze, staying out of the matter, as if he didn't notice the intrigue of his allies around him.

  Gu Ren heard the words, but stopped talking.

  Although Kang Shi is Shen Tang's temporary representative, he cannot fully represent Shen Tang. Shen Tang's sneak attack on Cunshan also took away half of the elite, further weakening his right to speak among the allied forces. Even with the addition of Gu Ren's side, the weight of words is light.

  Finally, everyone adopted Huang Lie's suggestion.

  Many literati's words have the effect of affecting the environment, but if you want to freeze a section of river, you can imagine the power of their words. It is difficult to do it with only a literary scholar, so it is natural to need other forces to deploy manpower to assist. I don't know if I don't gather together, but I'm shocked when I gather together, there are quite a lot of people gathered by each family. After that, it is necessary to calculate the thickness of the ice surface and the energy required to display the power of speech.

   Piece together, completely enough.

  It is worth mentioning that both Kang Shi and Gu Ren refused to send people out. Before everyone expressed their dissatisfaction, the reasons were given.

  Kang Shi's side is very straightforward and lacks people.

  Shen Tang took away all the scribes and staff coaxed by Niu Pi. Although there were still a few officials on Kang Shi's side who were also literati of the literary heart, they were either too shallow in practice or their positions were key. As the only commander in front of the battle, Kang Shi couldn't ignore himself.

   Gu Ren's reason is also very straightforward.

   There are only two Wenxin scribes under his account.

  One is him, and the other is his sixth brother.

  The sixth brother is in charge of logistics support, and he is the master. Other literary scholars who can't show their hands have not enough literary reserves, so he still doesn't make a fool of himself. If the big guys have any objections, Gu Ren can only have the cheek to borrow someone from Wu Xian once.

  Who made the Tianhai Wu family famous for having a big family and a big business.

  Wu Xian: "..."

  It looks like the words "taken advantage of me" are engraved on his face?

   At the same time, across the Miao River.

  The news of Miaojiang's soaring price was also sent to Zheng Qiao at the same time.

  At that time, Zheng Qiao just woke up from the nightmare.

  Worn in white and flawless obscene clothes, with a big cloak over his shoulders, sitting beside the bed in a trance. He had hardly had a full night's sleep in years. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would dream of horrible chaotic phantoms, and countless ghost faces he knew and didn't know wanted to kill him.

   It would be fine if it was just a life-threatening, Zheng Qiao was not even afraid of them when they were alive, how could he be afraid of ghosts that only appeared in his dreams? However, my body was not able to live up to it, and the reaction was great.

   It annoyed and angered him.

   "My lord, I just received news that the Miao River is skyrocketing."

  The night servant carefully passed the message to him.

Zheng Qiao came back to her senses, her eyes rounded slightly when she heard the news, as if she hadn't expected such a coincidence, then she laughed lowly, the laughter gradually rose, adding a bit of piercing and sharpness: "The skyrocketing...hahaha, Actually at this time..."

  Sweep away the haze of nightmare.

  Zheng Qiao has many eyes and ears, so she naturally knew that the alliance army would attack on the second day, but she didn't expect that Miaojiang would be so disrespectful to them, and the price rose sharply in the middle of the night on the first day. He laughed for a long time before he stopped, his slender fingers resting on his angular jaw.

  He asked the night waiter with great interest.

   "How do you guess the opposite tomorrow will end?"

  The servant bowed and knelt: "The lord calm down, slaves, slaves don't know a single word, how, how do you know these things?"

   Zheng Qiao didn't expect to get an answer from him either.

  Listening to the noisy rain outside the window, Zheng Qiao asked the servant to take the lamp, and he suddenly felt interested in strolling: "Go for a walk with Gu."

  All the maids on duty at night followed.

Walking to a waterside pavilion, Zheng Qiao looked at the dense ripples in the pool, and suddenly pointed to the pool and said: "When I was an orphan, I grew up in the inner court of the deep palace. When I was five years old, I followed my mother and concubine to Xin Kingdom as a hostage, and was looked down upon by others. People are full of people with red tops and white hats, and those who follow power. The palace of unfavored concubines is better than a cold palace. Ever since the old **** in Xinguo lost interest in his mother and concubine, the food in winter is cold, and the food in summer is rotten. …Gu sometimes gets so hungry that he sneaks around the fish in the algae pond in the inner court…”

  The servant Gong'e hangs her head, trembling.

   After listening to Zheng Qiao's dark history, it's easy to get scratched.

  But Zheng Qiao didn't care, and kept thinking about the past.

From the fact that he was despised and bullied by the servants in Xin's inner court, to the old master and concubine of the Xin Kingdom targeting their mother and son, to his mother and concubine abandoning all dignity, fighting for favor with more debauched means than brothel women, and fighting for a chance for Zheng Qiao to be a famous teacher. .

  The old Lord Xin used his mother and concubine as a plaything, and even let her dance in front of the officials almost half naked during the palace banquet. That woman who was born as a lady, worked hard to support her only son. She didn't completely collapse until Zheng Qiao suffered.

  Finally, I died of depression.

  The atmosphere is stagnant, except for the sound of rain.

   I don't know how long it has passed, and it seems to be murmured: "How can Gu not hate? Even if they die, they will not be able to solve the hatred in Gu's heart."

  In the middle of the night, Zheng Qiao listened to the sound of rain and fell asleep.

   It is actually a rare sleep.

  The sky is overcast and the rain is still showing no sign of decreasing.

   "Report—the ruler of the country, Miao, Miaojiang—"

   Zheng Qiao just woke up when he heard the sound of soldiers in a hurry.

   "What happened to Miaojiang?"

  The soldier said: "It's frozen."

  Zheng Qiao almost thought she heard it wrong: "Ice?"

  Followed by a group of soldiers, he went to the front line of the Miaojiang River. From a distance, he could see the steaming steam on the river, the mysterious characters hovering in it, and he could vaguely see the scene of a horse in armor bathing in the river. The majestic literary spirit can be clearly felt from such a distance.

   "Ye Lan is lying down listening to the wind and rain, and the Iron Horse Glacier is dreaming... Hehehe, are these guys planning to freeze the Miaojiang River?"

   Zheng Qiao saw the spirit of the words at a glance.

   "Master, do you want to send someone to break it?"

  The sixteenth-class student beside him had thick eyebrows upside down.

  Zheng Qiao waved his hand and said lightly, "That's all."

   Once the word spirit is activated, it is difficult to stop it. Forcibly stopping it requires a strong external force. Once it is successfully terminated, the person who cast it will suffer backlash. The degree of backlash depends on the power of the words.

   It's not that Zheng Qiao didn't want to stop it, but he knew it couldn't be stopped. The effect of this word spirit is not just as simple as freezing the river, he said to the illusion of the horses bathing in the river: "Did you see those horses? If you want to end it, you have to go through them first."

  The military general was not convinced: "The last general will be able to break through."

   Zheng Qiao said: "It's hard."

   It's not that it's difficult to cross the iron horse bathing the river, but it's difficult to cross it before the speech spirit is fully effective. Zheng Qiao had seen the power of this speech before, so he knew it was unnecessary: ​​"Since the thing on the opposite side is going to fight us on land, let's fight."

   Then let's see who died on the ice.

  While the two were talking, the surging Miaojiang River gradually calmed down, and a thin layer of ice melted on the surface of the river. As the cultural energy above the river surface continued to penetrate, the ice layer thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the beginning of the ice surface, you can still see the river water below, but as time goes by, it turns into crystal clear white. There were snowflakes falling over the Miaojiang River, and the air temperature dropped sharply.

   Zheng Qiao watched the ice spread from the opposite side.

   A sudden smile climbed up the corner of his lips, and the general beside him was puzzled.

   "Why is the lord laughing?"

Zheng Qiao said: "It's nothing more than that on the opposite side of Gu Xiao. Suddenly I remembered that there is a branch in the lower reaches of the Miaojiang River that enters Yanzhou... You said, they have been patronizing and fighting against Gu these years. Do you have time to send people to strengthen the embankment and dredge the river? ?”

  This question has no answer.

Zheng Qiao shook his head and said, "How come they don't know, but they know that in Banzhou of Yanzhou in Chaoli Pass, although the government offices in the territory collect corvee every year, it is for the purpose of defrauding the royal court for appropriating funds... It seems that the counties and counties in the territory are corrupt. Quite a few."

   As he spoke, he rolled his eyes with a smile.

   "Alas, they and Gu are not the same."

   To some extent, he is his inheritor, heir.

   ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

   The next title is Transported Heroes Are Not Free, and the next one is the death of Zheng Qiao. If he can't get the boxed lunch on May Day, the mushrooms can only be added. It should be sent out on May 1st Labor Day.
