The North Bank of the Yellow River in Qingzhou is busy. People under Yao Yizhong are cutting down forests, not only cutting trees, but also collecting shrubs. Their movements are too big to be ignored. The scouts on the Han Army send letters every day. The intelligence shows that the Hu people have accumulated an incalculable amount of wood.
"They cut down trees madly and made a large number of boards." Sang Yu said vaguely, "do you want to block the Yellow River with wood, and then spread wood on the wood as a river crossing pedal?"
That's the only explanation. It's a big brain hole to think of such a way to cross the river, and it's not impossible to operate. The premise is to intercept a river crossing first, and then the wood on the Yellow River is thick enough.
"It is similar to the ice on the river." Ji Chang seemed to appreciate the person who came up with this idea and asked, "can you find out whose idea it is?"
The method looks stupid, but it is really practical. It is even much simpler than building a floating bridge by boat. At least blocking the Yellow River first can prevent the ships of the Han army from entering the Yellow River from the sea, and can be used as a bridge after being covered with wood. It is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
Generally speaking, Yao Yizhong was in a hurry, otherwise he would not even be able to implement this method. He became eager, which was in line with the needs of the Han Dynasty.
War is like that. If one side sits firmly on the Diaoyu Island and the other side appears urgent, the always urgent side will appear passive.
Once the act is urgent, it will reveal greater flaws and give the initiative to others. However, Yao Yizhong's situation is somewhat different. At least before the Qiang army shows no sign of crossing the river, the two sides have no initiative. This is nothing more than the existence of the natural graben of the Yellow River.
The Han Army assembled in Jinan county is not too many. Excluding the forbidden guards, there are only 12000 troops. There are special reasons for this. Jinan county is not a front, but there are many places for the Han Army to use troops. There is one in Dongping County, another in Lujun County, the Yangtze River coast in Xuzhou, the same in Liaodong, and the Chaoxian peninsula.
Generally speaking, Liu Yan currently has about 200000 troops available, but with the expansion of the site, the number of garrisons needed to be used also increases. This is an unavoidable problem for any force in rapid expansion, unless it does not expand.
"It is estimated that Yao Yizhong should start at the end of summer." Ji Chang said this not without reason, mainly the problem of livestock. He smiled and said, "did we land in Jizhou from the coastline and disrupt Yao Yizhong's preparations for war?"
This is the convenience of having a navy. War no longer needs to pay attention to land. If the coastline is within the targets that can be attacked, the coastline of Shijie Zhao state is not short.
The Qiang army under Yao Yizhong's command is located inland in Qinghe County and Pingyuan County, but Yao Yizhong's order is not to stick to Qinghe County or Pingyuan county. The Qiang army appears in the two counties to prepare for war. Once the Han Army lands in Jizhou from the coast, the scene will become interesting.
"We didn't harass Jizhou before in order to avoid Shijie Zhao turning the spear, at least not to let Shi Hu come with all his strength." Sang Yu touched his chin and asked, "do you have similar concerns now?"
It seems a little hard to say? The stone tiger wants to weaken the Qiang and the Di people. Yao Yizhong takes the elite of the Qiang nationality to the edge of Qingzhou. The flood of the Jin nationality carries the elite of the tribe to Tongguan.
After all, the Jie nationality is the overlord of the Central Plains. It is false to say that the Han side has no concerns at all. The stone tiger is ready to go. It may be to send troops to Tongguan or to Qingzhou. That is why Liu Yanzhi chose to stop the front in juyeze.
When sang Yu asked, no one could tell what kind of reaction would be caused by sending troops to Jizhou.
What they should ask themselves is, can the Han Army directly fight the Shangjie army? Or is it necessary to fight against the Jie army so early?
"All parties agreed to attack the stone tablet..." Ji Chang said implicitly, "we have attracted enough ideas."
Originally, the Han Dynasty has attracted a large army of Qiang people, but there are nearly 400000 Qiang people and miscellaneous Hu, and perhaps many jin people. If they will bring them with the help of the army, they will die of laughter in the state of Ran Qin, the state of Zhang Liang, Murong Xianbei, and even Murong Yan?
There's nothing to say. For the time being, it's not appropriate to stimulate Shi Hu too much. First, play happily with Yao Yizhong's army.
Almost at the beginning of summer, the Qiang army, which had cut wood for nearly two months, finally made a new move. They moved the cut wood to the edge of the Yellow River.
After the complete thawing of the Yellow River, the Shijie water army located in the Duma River also drove out of the Yellow River. At the same time, a large number of logs were thrown into the Yellow River waterway by the Qiang army.
On this day, Liu Yan came to the South Bank of the Yellow River again and saw the busy people on the other side with his own eyes.
There were dense black spots moving. They were moved by people or pulled by vehicles. A large number of wood were thrown into the Yellow River channel at will, and then drifted to the east by the river.
"No Hengjiang iron rope was found along the coast?" Liu Yan said incomprehensibly, "they throw wood into the Yellow River. Without interception, they will only float directly to the sea?"
The Han Army has been closely monitoring the South Bank of the Yellow River and has really found no abnormalities. Yao Yizhong is actually wondering what it is that he ordered the people's Congress to throw wood and other sundries into the Yellow River.
"It seems to make sense to say that it is just to prevent our ships from entering the Yellow River from the sea." Sang Yu said strangely, "is Yao Yizhong... Going to cross the river directly?"
We don't rule out similar possibilities. After all, the Han Army doesn't have a fleet in the Yellow River. Yao Yizhong knows that the Han Army doesn't have a fleet, so he may think that the water war can't beat the Han Army and wants to cross the river before the Han Army's fleet comes.
Sang Yu added: "we also found that the number of enemy troops on the North Bank of the Yellow River has been reduced by a number. It is difficult to estimate the exact number. Should it be that 30000 or 40000 troops have disappeared?"
The Yellow River is very long. No one stipulates that Yao Yizhong's army can only cross the river from the coast of Qingzhou.
Liu Yan immediately grasped the key: "there is a change on the western line?"
Sang Yu replied, "no change has been found."
In other words, since the last time Shijie Zhao army withdrew from Dongping county and the Han Army controlled Dongping County, there has been no new movement in Shijie Zhao army. The two sides are facing each other hundreds of miles away, presenting a strange situation of "no war on the Western Front".
The Han army can find one thing, that is, "there are no empty scholars under the fame". They are not so easy to guess what path Yao Yizhong took.

Great tragedy, honor. I found a book called super black technology yesterday. I couldn't stop when I saw it. Only two thousand are updated today, and they will be updated at seven tomorrow.
