Between Qin and Jin, the length of the Yellow River was about three thousand miles, but travel between the two places basically passed through Pubanjin. This place was also a battleground for military strategists.

On the east bank of the river is Pubang Pass. The gate is about three feet high and five miles in diameter. It is a mixed structure of earth and stone. There are many flags above and are densely packed with Sergeant Jie Zhao, who is nervously looking towards the other side of the river.

Less than three miles behind Guancheng is Puban City. "Century of Emperors" says: Yao's old capital was in Pu, and Shun's capital was Puban. This shows that as early as the period of tribal alliances, the Puban area was the political center of Chinese civilization.

, economic and cultural center, described in "Yu Gong"

The nine tribute tax lines in the Yao and Shun era all lead to Puban. Puban belonged to Fou State, the Spring and Autumn Period belonged to Jin, and the Warring States Period belonged to Wei. The Qin Dynasty divided the world into thirty-six counties, and Puban was governed by Hedong County. At that time, the First Emperor visited the county eastward.

County, to the capital of Emperor Shun, personally visited Pu Ban to show his power.

From Guancheng to Puban City, there are several large camps set up according to the terrain, leaning against each other and interlocking with each other. Together with the two cities, they formed a tight and orderly defensive position.

On the west bank of the Yellow River, there is Linjin Pass, which faces Puban Pass across six miles of yellow water. The height and area are not much different. However, it is slightly different from Puban Pass on the opposite side in that Linjin Pass is in ruins.

There are many obvious cracks, blackened bloodstains, and some fire marks on the city walls. It seems that Murong Huang forcibly crossed the Yellow River from Puban a few years ago.

Five miles behind Linjin Pass is Linjin County (today's Chaoyi Town and surrounding areas in Shaanxi Province), which is governed by Fengyi County in Yongzhou. The Qin army soldiers were setting up camp relying on the two cities, but Yunfeng led everyone to the pass.

City. Looking at Puban Pass on the opposite side.

This section of the river is exactly where the Yellow River turns. The Yellow River, which flows from north to south, suddenly turns a big bend and rushes from west to east, which is particularly spectacular.

Among the three girls, Empress Panyuan, Yitongji and Caoxiangban Suoji, the eldest Empress Panyuan is pregnant and has to stay in Chang'an to give birth. Yitongji is still in love with Yunfeng even without going to bed.

She seemed to be incompatible with her. Only the girl with the scent of grass and flags volunteered to accompany her on the expedition. It was nice to see her.

She knew the mountains and scenery of the Middle Earth. Although she was not good at kung fu and was still a little short of reaching the peak of Ming Jin, she had practiced some tricks and embroidered legs and could withstand the bumpy long distances. So, Yunfeng and her

Liu Yueru, Yu Wenjun, and Xun Guanniang were brought with them.

A place of water and soil nourishes a person. The place of Wo Island is located on an isolated and helpless sea. Although it has clear rivers and beautiful mountains, it is like exquisite sketches that do not need to be modified and are natural, but there is something missing.

A majestic and majestic person. People who grow up in this environment will unconsciously cultivate

People with a personality that are impatient, narrow-minded, sensitive, neurotic and sentimental. The extreme ones will have twisted minds, embark on the road of self-mutilation, or engage in some perverted things, and the turbid waves in front of them, as well as the stormy waves,

The roaring sound of water lapping at the shore can make people's minds infinitely wider!

Souki, who was born and raised in Wadao, had never seen such beautiful scenery? Unlike the majestic and majestic rivers, the Yellow River presented a desolate and strange scene.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Grass Fragrance Flag Suoji couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that there are actually yellow rivers in the world. It's so beautiful!"

Yu Wenjun immediately became more energetic and said proudly: "What does this mean? There is a Hukou Waterfall more than four hundred miles upstream. The rolling Yellow River reaches this point. The torrent, which is more than a hundred feet wide, is suddenly restricted by the two banks to less than twenty feet wide.

The lower part is narrow, and it surges and pours in a drop of twenty feet. The sound is like pouring out of a huge pot, so it is called: Hukou Waterfall!"

"Really?" Caoxiang Banner Suo Ji looked upstream, with a look of yearning in her beautiful eyes.

"Yes!" Yu Wenjun nodded heavily: "Hukou Waterfall is unique all year round. In spring and autumn, when the water is clear, the sun shines directly and rainbows dance with the waves. The scenery is extremely beautiful! In summer, the turbulent water flows rapidly, and the water stirred up by the water is extremely beautiful.

Fog rises into the sky, just like billowing smoke rising from the bottom of the water,

It can be seen from more than ten miles away, and in winter, the water flows down from the ice ridges of different shapes on both sides and the layers of ice cubes, as if a beautiful ice bridge has been set up. The overflow on both sides forms

The water pillars are like ice peaks of different sizes hanging upside down from the cliff. You will be reluctant to leave when you see it!

It is August now, and the current is not too big or too small. It is the best opportunity to see the waterfall. Unfortunately, the general does not even have a boat. It seems that he is planning to attack the other side when the river freezes in winter. However, if there is a chance,

, it’s not bad to be able to see the icefall.”

The Grass-flavored Banner Suo Ji turned her beautiful eyes to Yunfeng again, and she was full of bullying!

Yunfeng shook his head in confusion: "On the bank of the Yellow River, except for Puban, there are no strategically important places. The purpose of entering Bingzhou this time is to wait until both the Tuoba tribe and the Shi family are defeated, and then choose an opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Therefore, it will only march towards the interior of Bingzhou and cannot make a detour to the upper river bank.

, not to mention that after annihilating the main force of the Tuoba tribe, they still need to coordinate with Han Yong to attack the Xiang Kingdom. Although Han Yong has temporarily stopped moving forward, he is actually waiting for the Yellow River to freeze. Therefore, when winter comes, there will be a continuous war, which is basically

I don’t have time to go to Hukou specifically to see the waterfall, we can only talk about it later.”

"Oh!" Caoxiang Banner Suoji's pretty face immediately turned dark, and her disappointment was palpable. But she also understood that military affairs were no trivial matter, so she didn't cast a resentful look at Yunfeng. After a short while,

But asked again

He said: "Wenjun, as you just mentioned, the water surface upstream is only a hundred feet wide. If the river freezes in winter, crossing the river from the upstream, or using cavalry to go around it and attack from both sides, wouldn't it be better than attacking here by force?

Hard hitting?"

"This..." Yu Wenjun was startled. Although she occasionally had a flash of inspiration, she didn't know much about military strategy. Now she was stumped.

Xun Guanniang took it and said with a smile: "Going upstream, there are mostly river valleys with depths of more than forty feet. This is already an insurmountable natural chasm. Horses cannot cross the river at all, and although there is a plain to the west, the Yellow River

Edom

But it stretches across the Luliang Mountains. Even if one barely crosses the river, it is not an easy task to cross the Luliang Mountains. Attacking Puban Pass with tired infantry in a detour will only waste troops and money, but it will have no effect at all. It is better to attack from the front in winter.

.

In fact, it makes sense to set up two passes across the river here. During the Warring States Period, the Qin and Wei dynasties faced each other across the river. This place was at the transportation hub between Jin and Qin. Crossing the Yellow River to the south, one could reach Tongguan or Chang'an. In fact, it was

Mountains and rivers are important, so military strategists of all dynasties often competed here. In the thirty-sixth year of Duke Mugong of Qin (624 BC), Qin general Meng Ming burned his boats in the river. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, King Bao of Wei tried to gain independence and cut off the river pass.

here.

The water here is much gentler than upstream. Although the Yellow River is narrow in Longmen (30 kilometers north of today's Hancheng City, Shanxi), with a width of only 20 feet, the water flow is turbulent. After the river bed leaves Longmen, the river gradually becomes open.

, the water flow has become relatively stable, so there was a floating bridge here earlier, allowing people on both sides to communicate directly. It was first built in the 50th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (257 BC).

You see, there is a sandbar in the middle of the river ahead, and there is an abandoned earth city on it, called Zhongli City. The pontoon bridges at that time were one for the East River and one for the West River, connecting Jinguan, Zhongli City and Puban Pass.

The cities are connected, so it is called one bridge locking three cities.

Unfortunately, King Bao of Wei rebelled, and the bridge was burned once. Later, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Dingding Tianxia rebuilt it. It lasted more than 500 years, during which it was continuously repaired and reinforced. However, it was burned again during the chaos of our country, and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been isolated since then.

contacts.

This bridge is composed of thousands of ships made of bamboo flat strips woven into bamboo ropes, braided and tied together, reinforced with long and tough large wooden edges on both sides, and the two ends of the bridge are pulled by bamboo ropes and fixed on both sides of the river.

On the stone embankment, eight of the towns

The Tieniu bridges stand in pairs on both sides of the Yellow River. Iron chains and bamboo cables are used to fasten the bridge body to the iron mountains together with the Tieniu bridge, which increases the strength and stability of the pontoon bridge. Today, there are still fixed bridges on both sides of the river.

Here’s the big iron bull for the pontoon bridge!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a little heavy. In Zhongli City in the middle of the river, the smoky ruins seemed to tell people about the ancient times of fighting and fighting, and the four big iron horses on each side of the bank.

There are only three cattle left now, and the two in front of Linjin Pass

Only one, one in front of Puban Pass, was all dumped on the ground, stained with rust, and its original appearance could not be seen. These three iron oxen gave people a strong sense of historical vicissitudes. From them, it seemed that

The hustle and bustle of people and cars coming and going in the Qin and Jin Dynasties in the early years could be heard.

For a moment, everyone was a little distracted, but Yu Wenjun couldn't help but said: "General, you may want to build a new pontoon bridge in the future. At that time, Wenjun can easily take Suo Ji, the fragrant flag of grass, to Hukou to see the waterfall!

"

Yunfeng also knew that the pontoon bridge at Pubang Pass was built and destroyed at times. Usually during the unification period, the court would provide money and people to build the bridge, but during wars it would be burned down. The last pontoon bridge in history was destroyed when the Jin Kingdom fell.

time.

After listening to Yu Wenjun's suggestion, Yunfeng nodded and said: "That's for sure. After taking Bingzhou, I will hand over the construction of the bridge to Tianjimen and strive to make the natural moat accessible again within three years!"

Although Japanese women are slightly lacking in etiquette, the advantage they bring is that they are lively and spontaneous. They are not as restrained as Han women. Their joys, anger, sorrows, and joys are all written on their faces, and the fragrant grass flags are flying.

Ji's character is that she likes to run around, which is somewhat similar to Yu Wenjun.

Caoxiang Banner Suoji looked around happily, her eyes stopped at the two big iron oxen under her feet, and suddenly she had an idea and asked: "It looks like these iron oxen must weigh at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms! There is no way to move them away.

Yes, will the other five iron bulls fall into the river? If they can be salvaged, wouldn't it save the time of recasting them?"

Yu Wenjun followed up and said: "How is this possible? How to salvage it if it is so heavy? Although it will cost a lot of money to recast it, at least be realistic!"

But Yun Feng's heart was moved. He remembered an anecdote recorded in the "History of the Song Dynasty". In the eighth year of Song Jiayou's reign (AD 1063), the river surged, and the iron ox that fixed the pontoon rushed into the river. The official recruited those who could get out.
