Chapter 20 Brother, are you okay?
The vast fleet began the Yellow River rafting...
Of course, the Yellow River at this time was not modern. After crossing the Sanshan Floating Bridge, it headed northeast to Puyang, and then almost turned northward, running through Daming Prefecture and reaching modern Wuqiang, then turning eastward to Hejian Prefecture and then turning northward. The rest is roughly equivalent to the later canal, and finally turning into modern Haihe River in Tianjin and entering Bohai Sea.
This is the Yellow River during the Xuanhe period.
It was not until a few years later that Du Chong opened the Yellow River embankment of Ligu, Huazhou.
The vast Yellow River finally ended the long period of flowing north, and began the years of snatching the Huai River into the sea. Then, more than 600 years later, she used to break down the copper tiled levee and return to the direction she originally liked.
The world has changed.
But every change is a catastrophe.
Wang Yue rode a boat specially allocated to him by Tong Guan. He enjoyed the scenery along the way together with Liu Qi, Ma Kuo and Wu Song, enjoyed the wine and meat rewarded by officials along the way, and drifted comfortably on the surging Yellow River. He arrived at roughly the modern Wuqiang in just five days. At this time, it also belonged to Wuqiang, but the county was in Modern Jieguan Town, and between Modern Wuqiang County and Jieguan Town, there was a river that was destroyed in history...
"Hutuo River!"
Ma Kuo said, shaking the folding fan.
This person still likes art and a diary.
"What about going forward?"
Wang Yue asked.
Their fleet had already moved into this river and began to go upstream.
"This is a waterway that connects the Hutuo River and the Great River. It is said that it was dug in Cao Wei. Going forward is Raoyang. In Raoyang, it turns into the main stream of the Hutuo River, and then turns to another waterway to enter the Tang River. The rest is along the Tang River and all the way to Gaoyang Pass."
Liu Qi said.
Their destination is Gaoyang Pass.
That is, the hometown of Sun Chengzong in modern Gaoyang, which is the rear base of the entire Hebei defense line. This defense line is based on the three passes, namely the Xiongba and the Xin'an Army, as the right wing fronts, and the Baozhou and Guangxin Ansu armies in the west as the left wing fronts. Once one of the two fronts is broken, the water Great Wall behind, which starts from Wubo, the east side of modern Baoding, and extends eastward to the hundreds of miles of water net swamps that stretch to the Yellow River begins to block the enemy cavalry.
The third line of defense with Gaoyang Pass as the protruding part began to prepare for a bloody battle.
Because this is the last line of defense.
Once it is broken through, it will be a flood of thousands of miles of the entire North China Plain. The enemy cavalry will not be able to stop the bus if they are less than the Sanshan Floating Bridge.
So during the Jingkang period, the Song army burned the unlucky floating bridge.
But the bridge burned but it didn't block it.
"If you don't lose the Youyun, why is this?"
Ma Kuo sighed in regret.
This is the almost fascinating pursuit of Youyun in the Song Dynasty.
But Wang Yue stood there, looking at the ragged poor people on the shore, who was looking at the fleet walking with numb eyes. Behind them were dilapidated thatched houses, and sparse seedlings in the farmland under them...
The prosperous era of the River During the Qingming Festival is already very far away from them.
