The Yellow River breaks down the dam of this time, near Sanmenxia, ​​a hundred kilometers eastward of Tongguan Zhexiang in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. Sanmenxia is located at the junction of the three places of Yu, Jin and Guanzhong in the Central Plains. It is adjacent to Luoyang City, the thousand-year-old imperial capital in the east, and is connected to Nanyang City by Funiu Mountain in the south. It looks to the ancient city of Xi'an in the west, and echoes the Three Jins across the Yellow River in the north.

A breakdown here directly affects the safety of the eastern capital Luoyang.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is located in the western part of Henan, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. It has one of the most prominent features: "Five waters surround Luocheng". It is the place where the five rivers converge. The five rivers are divided into countless tributaries, and the large and large river channels are crisscrossed. The Yellow River breaks the dam, and the river water not only rushes fields and destroys houses, but also causes the local water level to rise.

Originally, heavy rains continued, and rivers in various places rose one after another. Now they were affected by the Yellow River's dam breaking, and the water level rose even harder. Uncontrolled, the five waters were flooded, and Luoyang was in danger.

Luoyang's value to Li Tang's existence at this time was like Shanghai 1,500 years later. If Shanghai was destroyed, it goes without saying how terrible harm it would bring.

In order to deal with this flood, the Tang Dynasty sent out all the expedited situations, and six or seven situations came every hour.

Knowing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Li Jiancheng, the commander-in-chief of the flood control and disaster relief, was sweating profusely. If they followed their original handling methods, they only did their post-work, but did nothing in the disaster and allowed local governments to organize flood control and repair dams, perhaps Luoyang was in danger of being destroyed.

Looking at the generals who came to rescue the disaster, Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and gave a very reluctant order, saying loudly: "Gather all the horses and hand them over to the Tianjie Army. Take Tianjie Army as the first command and rush to the front line. Repair the embankment."

Li Yi could not rob Luo Shixin in war, and Li Jiancheng had already recognized this. First of all, Li Yi was indeed not as good as Luo Shixin, and the other was in the hands of Li Yuan. Although he was the crown prince, Li Yuan had always been inclined to Li Shimin in military affairs. But now, he found that he was wrong, and he was a bit outrageous. He specially counted Li Yi to give his subordinates a chance to make contributions and let Li Yi show off as well. He also gained a chance to be promoted so as not to be a wooden stake and stand in the court to watch the show.

I was determined to push Li Yi up this time, so that he could stand on the front line of flood control and win the first prize. However, as there were more and more bad news, Li Jiancheng began to hesitate: Although Li Yi was not as good as Luo Shixin in war, he was still a brave general. He could fight and lead tens of thousands of soldiers to win a few victories, which was as simple as eating and drinking tea. But is Li Yi's mind OK to fight flood control and rush to repair dams?

The situation is now critical. Send a guy who cannot do it. If you do something nonsense and do nothing, it will cause serious floods. The situation where the Five Waters flood Luoyang and cause heavy losses to the Tang Dynasty, who will bear the responsibility?

The flooding of Luoyang was a loss to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Yi was a subordinate of Li Jiancheng, as a responsible prince of the Tang Dynasty, even if he was reluctant now, he still pushed Luo Shixin up and chose to put the overall situation first.

Luo Shixin showed extraordinary flood resistance because of his outstanding performance that day, and Li Jiancheng could not ignore his existence. Every time there was a meeting, he would specially invite him to listen. Occasionally, he would be given attention from Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng.

I am very familiar with the current emergency situation, and at this moment I went out to accept the promise without hesitation and took the order.

"Cough cough!" After Li Yi's good news that day caused Luo Shixin to vomit blood, he developed a cough problem. After making him faint in the court, he felt like he had a serious illness, and his body felt worse than before.

The meeting ended.

"General Li!"

Li Jiancheng called Li Yi and smiled and said, "Luo Shixin will do the tiring and dangerous work. You and I will be responsible for rescuing the people trapped in the flood. It is a great achievement." For Li Yi, he was both sorry for the failure of iron and had a little guilt: To be fair, Li Yi did help him a lot. He lacked soldiers who were good at fighting. Li Yi used his relationship to recruit 300 Turkic scattered soldiers from the grassland and hid in the East Palace. The guards of the East Palace were full, and Li Yi selected 2,000 brave and warlike men to station in Changlin Gate.

Li Yi was the first general to join the princeling party, but the general who helped him the most.

Li Jiancheng remembers all this in his heart and sees it all. He wants to get Li Yi up every time he has a chance, but now that he is unified today, there are not many opportunities to lead troops to fight, and it is rare to be once a year. This is rare, Luo Shixin comes to fight again, and Li Yi is not able to fight, so he can do nothing and can only comfort him with good words.

Li Yi bowed deeply and said, "I will understand that I will thank His Highness the Prince for caring and loving."

After walking out of the handsome tent, Li Yi couldn't help but remember how free and happy he was when he called himself King of Yan in the past. He thought that he could enjoy his life by stealing Li Tang, but he didn't expect that this was the situation. If he had known this, it would be better to be the King of Yan for a lifetime and gain freedom and freedom. Even if Ru Gao Kaidao was destroyed, it would be hundreds of times better than now.

Of course, he also knew that it was too late to think about all these things now. After embarking on this path, he could only do it with his teeth.

************

Luo Shixin led war horses from other armies and distributed them to those who were arbitrary cavalry in the army, and rushed to Sanmenxia without stopping.

In ancient times, it was really not easy to send large troops to rescue disasters. Without the mobility of traveling thousands of miles a day, the army went through a lot of hardships to reach the affected area, and the disaster was basically over. It was useless to consume manpower and food, and the gain was not worth the loss. Therefore, there are no examples of the imperial court sending troops to rescue disasters in history.

However, the situation in the Tang Dynasty happened to be special. The main combat power of the Tang Dynasty gathered in Guanzhong. The disaster-stricken areas were just separated by Tongguan. The cavalry could arrive for two or three days. The army could reach the disaster-stricken area as soon as possible, so Luo Shixin's proposal seemed to be appropriate to the times and was just right.

Luo Shixin only knew that the dam breaking mouth was in Sanmenxia, ​​but he didn't know where it was in Sanmenxia. After leaving Tongguan, he could only walk along the south bank of the Yellow River and go east from west to east. It took time to pass through more than 100 kilometers of Loess Canyon and finally arrived at the place where the dam broke.

The situation in front of him shocked Luo Shixin: the Yellow River is known for its majestic atmosphere, especially the area after swimming through the Loess Plateau, which is even more famous for its turbulence. The vast Yellow River water swept across the mud and sand of the Loess Plateau, rushing and roaring, forming a world-famous "yellow river" that surged into the sea.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, the overall water level of the Yellow River rose, and the roaring scene became ten times more majestic. The surging river water vented along the gap in the embankment and rushed to the inland, and its power was indescribable.

Luo Shixin once rode alone in front of a 100,000 Turkic army. The sandstorm and dust rolling up in the sky and the power of more than 100,000 war horses were not enough to shock him or her, but the scene in front of him made him feel numb from the bottom of his heart, and a feeling of fear arises from his heart.

Facing the power of nature, even Luo Shixin also felt an inconsistent feeling. No matter how brave a person is, he will become so small and powerless when facing nature.

Gripping his teeth, Luo Shixin yelled loudly, "Quick, why are you stunned? Facing the flood, everyone is fucked scared! Hurry, go dig me up and put sandbags for me." Facing the abuse of floods in front of him, Luo Shixin almost got scared, let alone others.

It is not too demanding, and loudly cheers up morale and lets the soldiers take action.

After receiving the order, the soldiers got on the horse again and turned around to collect mud and sand.

Su Dingfang came immediately and whispered loudly against the wind, rain and thunderstorm: "There are mountains nearby, why bother to look far away?"

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "There is little possibility of natural disasters like floods, and at best it is to minimize the losses. The only thing that really fights against natural disasters is nature, that is, this mountain, grass and trees. The turbulent water flow here is originally a frequent area of ​​floods. If you dig mountains to get mud and sand, it will be less protected by nature and will not easily lead to self-destruction. It is likely to cause greater floods in the coming year. Such unethical things cannot be done, just listen to me."

When later generations describe natural disasters, they often add a man-made disaster, such as ruthless sky, drought, floods, typhoons, hail, blizzards, sandstorms, earthquakes and other meteorological disasters. However, the ones that affect this disaster are humans. Humans destroy nature and cause natural changes as a cause.

Although human beings need to develop and destroy vegetation and nature, this is nothing to do, but Luo Shixin cannot do such things, knowing the reasons, digging mountains and harvesting sand for the sake of immediate benefits and convenience, and destroying the ecology along the Yellow River.

Su Dingfang seemed to understand, but he didn't care. After being together for so long, what he admired most about Luo Shixin was not only martial arts, but also the sudden, whimsical and unreasonable conclusions. In the end, the facts proved that those seemingly absurd conclusions were extremely correct, and there was no mistake, so he followed the order.

Luo Shixin looked at the nearly twenty-meter-long collapsed dike, and the torrent of the dam that flowed out from the Yellow River, and felt a sense of powerlessness, and his initial confidence almost completely collapsed.

Suddenly, he realized that he underestimated this natural disaster too much. The power of nature cannot be dealt with simply. Water control is also a very profound science. When a layman faces such a fierce flood, even if the army is in hand, how can he come up with an effective and reasonable solution in a short time?

"Do you have to use death to rely on manpower to force the gap in the dam?" Luo Shixin lowered his head and pondered, slapped his head, secretly calling himself stupid: "If you don't understand, just find someone you understand..." In his impression, all dynasties have arranged for officials to control water: among them, the most famous are people like Dayu, Gongsun Bao, and Li Bing.

He didn't remember any famous people in the Tang Dynasty who controlled the water, but in his position, no matter how capable he was, even if he had only a half-tongue, he was better than his who had no such a single tone.
