When several ministers heard Yun Zhao's emotion just now, they were all shocked. They were afraid that Yun Zhao might want to quit, which would be terrible. They stepped forward in unison, cited scriptures, and tried to persuade Yun Zhao in a roundabout way.

Glancing at the important ministers around him, Yun Zhao smiled slightly. He just felt emotional for a moment. He and those

A born nobleman is different. He is a person who has climbed up step by step from the bottom. He understands the sufferings of the people many times more deeply than Ma Yigong, Han Zhong, Wang Bin and others in front of him. For a moment, he can't bear it.

That's it. Mr. Qin also said before that when things prosper, the people suffer, and when they die, the people suffer, that's all.

They are afraid of retreating, so how can they retreat? Once they are in their position, no matter what the future holds, they can just move forward until they can no longer move.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come!" Wang Bin said at the right time, "Your Majesty, please come forward and open the canal!"

Yun Zhao nodded and stepped forward. Yaerdan and Hong Niangzi followed him side by side, and the other important ministers followed one by one. Beside the huge iron gate, there was a very unique shape of a wheel.

It is made of fine iron. A thick iron chain hangs from the top of the wheel and extends from a stone hole in the ground. The other end is connected to the mechanism that opens the iron gate.

"Your Majesty, the mechanism for opening the gate includes our most advanced technology in the North. You only need to turn the pulley, and the iron gate will slowly open, and the water of the Cangjiang River will flow into the canal continuously." Wang Bin introduced.

Said: "The iron gate you see now is just a top

Half of the canal and the lower half are buried in the water. If the Cangjiang River floods, we will close the gate to ensure that the Northland will not be flooded due to the canal. In the dry season, we can also allow the Cangjiang River water to flow unimpeded.

The ground enters the canal and does not stop it from flowing!"

"Yes, with it, as you said, our northern land will become the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall. In ten years at most, we will create a prosperous place like the southern states in the northern land." Yun Zhao looked at the straight extension in front of him.

Going out of the canal, eyes flashed with excitement.

As Yun Zhao's hand grasped the iron handle, hundreds of large cowhide drums were knocked simultaneously on both sides of the canal and on the one-meter-wide iron gate, boom, boom, boom!

The huge drum beat suppressed the tsunami-like shouts. Thousands of people fell silent, and all eyes were fixed on the huge iron gate.

The drums sounded again, the three-tone drums stopped, hundreds of tubas blew, and a man in red cannon stood on the iron gate and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Open the gate, let the water flow!"

"Open the gate, release the water!" Hundreds of strong men shouted in unison, and more people began to respond to their shouts.

"The gate is under construction, release the water!" Thousands of people shouted in unison.

Amidst the shouts, Yun Zhao was so angry that he held the handle with both hands and began to turn it slowly. Although the most advanced technology in the North was used, to turn this huge iron wheel, his arms really had to have hundreds of kilograms of strength.

No, but to Yun Zhao, this is really nothing.

The iron wheel turned around, and the iron gate slowly opened a gap. The river water found a way out, and spurted out with a chirping sound. The strong pressure caused these water lines to spurt out about tens of meters away.

Under the sunlight, seven colors of light flashed, like a seven-color cloud hanging in the canal.

After another turn, the iron door opened about a foot wide, water splashed out and fell on the dry river bed, and a smell of earth filled the whole place.

"Yaldan, Miaomiao, come here too and work with me to bring this river of life!" Yun Zhao turned around and looked at his two women. Yaldan was slightly shocked. At this time, she

I really didn’t want to open the iron gate with Yun Zhao, but when I saw the red lady walking over with a smile, I could only step forward. The red lady held Yunwen in one hand and held the iron handle in the other.

Jardan on the other side put his hands on the handle.

"Open the gate, let out the water!" Yun Zhao laughed and said to the two women. The three of them exerted their strength, and the windlass began to rotate continuously.

On the iron gate, the red flowers made of big red silk became straighter and straighter. Finally, as the iron gate slowly opened, it floated down. Almost at the same time as the red flowers fell, the iron gate was already half open, and the surging waves

The river water released and rushed downwards. On the top of the waves, the red flower floated up and down, drifting all the way to the distance with the current.

From both sides of the canal, there were loud cheers.

"Ship, look, a ship is coming in!" Some people cheered loudly. Amid the waves of light, a red horse warship sailed from the Cangjiang River. The ship was piled with sacks. Look at the draft.

, obviously quite heavy.

The canal is only about twenty meters wide, and only a small ship like the Red Horse can pass through it smoothly. Seeing the decorated Red Horse warship slowly pass through the iron gate and enter the canal, Yun Zhao couldn't help but be surprised.

: "Isn't it Cao Xinyu who is at the helm?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty!" Wang Bin said with a smile: "Today the canal is open to water. General Cao Xinyu said that with water, how can there be no ships? It happened that Zhengbei Mansion collected some seeds in Qinzhou and wanted to send them outside the Great Wall.

So we loaded up the boat and headed north along the current. These supplies that used to take a month or two to arrive can now be reached in just ten days!"

"The reason why General Cao personally drove the boat was because the water was opened for the first time today and the water flow was too large. For ordinary people, they were afraid that something would happen, which would be too disappointing, so General Cao personally led his soldiers to drive this section. The boat was slow and the water was fast.

, after today, the water flow will gradually slow down, and a new boatman will take over General Cao's boat to send it outside the Great Wall!" Ma Yigong explained on the side: "And General Cao also wants to give you a surprise!

"

"It's indeed a surprise!" Yun Zhao laughed loudly.

The river gradually receded, and the boat gradually became a black dot in everyone's eyes, but the cheers continued, and the celebrations continued.

A fast horse galloped from far to near on the road. The soldiers of the Yunzhao Guards Battalion who were on guard on the pier obviously knew the knight on the horse, and allowed him to come on the horse and rush into the crowd on the pier.

The knight turned over and strode towards Yunzhao.

"Geng Chong pays homage to the prince!" The knight knelt on one knee in front of Yun Zhao, "Congratulations to the prince for accomplishing an unprecedented feat, which will last for thousands of generations and will forever be remembered in history."

Yun Zhao smiled and helped him up. Geng Chong is the highest-ranking head of the Staff Division in the North. Guo Feng, the number one figure in the Staff Division, and Hong Anbang, the second figure, are in the three southern states and one in Tongzhou. Geng Chong follows

Since he came to Qinzhou, he has been sitting in Qinzhou City. Now that he suddenly appeared here, he naturally had extremely important information.

"What happened?" Yun Zhao asked in a low voice while he and his ministers watched the crowd's celebration.

"Urgent intelligence has just come from Jingzhou. Xie's army has marched out of Yuzhou and captured the two counties at the junction of Jingzhou and Yuzhou. General Huo Zhenting judged that Xie Shilin probably wants to suppress the border with the army this time and has contained our upcoming attack on Tongzhou.

Attack." Geng Chong also lowered his voice, and except for a few people around Yun Zhao, others could not hear it at all.

"Excellent, well done!" Yun Zhao raised his head, "It's better to solve it all together. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling man. If he really shrinks in a mountainous place like Yuzhou, it will be really troublesome to fight.

If he dares to come out, it’s just what I want!”

"Your Majesty, are you ready to settle the matter once and for all? I wonder which general you should send?" Han Zhong said at the side.

"I'll go there myself!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.

"Can you take me there?" The red lady holding Yunwen's eyes lit up. She hadn't been to the battlefield in a few days, and her hands couldn't help itching. "Just go and stretch your muscles!"

Before Yun Zhao could speak, Yaerdan already smiled and said: "Sister, look at Yunwen in your arms, how can you leave him? You are really willing to leave Yunwen alone in Xingling and fight alone!

"

The red lady was startled, glanced at the rosy little face in her arms, and couldn't help but sigh, "Little guy, I've caused you a lot of trouble!" After sighing for a few times, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, I remembered.

Okay, Yun Zhao, don’t you have people under your command?

There is a general named Ding Chou, right? You told me that this guy once carried his son on his back to fight. He was extremely brave. I can do the same. My martial arts skills are not comparable to that of Ding Chou.

What he can do, I can do too!"

Before the red lady finished speaking, everyone around Yun Zhao shouted in unison almost at the same time: "No, absolutely not!"

Ma Yigong's face was even darker, "How can that brat Ding Chou's son compare with the little prince? Besides how difficult it was for us at that time, it was a last resort. This matter is absolutely impossible. Princess Yan, celebrate the event

After this is over, please go back to Xingling immediately!"

"Yes, yes, it is only right to ask the two princesses to return to Xingling!" Han Zhong nodded repeatedly, "Geng Chong, I will leave this matter to you and escort the two princesses back all the way."

The red lady stared at everyone, "If you don't want to go, don't go. Just go back. What are you doing with a dark face? It's a big day. Besides, when we go back to Xingling, do we still need Geng Chong to send him? I still need people.

Protection is Yaerdan, and the martial arts of her personal maid Linghua can also beat Geng Chong to death.

Geng Chong, you should go and do your business properly. Yaerdan and I will go back to Xingling. Yaerdan, we are not welcome here, let’s go!" He pulled Yaerdan angrily and turned around.

Then he left. Being pulled by the red lady, Yardan turned around and smiled bitterly at Yun Zhao, then followed the red lady and walked out.

Seeing the two lovely wives leaving, Yun Zhao couldn't help laughing.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Han Zhong said with a smile: "The two ladies seem to get along very well!"

"The red lady is a straight-tempered person. If someone treats her well, she can't wait to show her heart to others. Who is Yaerdan? He still doesn't take care of her!" Yun Zhao said with a smile. "That's it.

That’s good, it saves me a lot of trouble!”

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Quickly notify Cao Xinyu and ask him to go ashore and come back to prepare the warship. I will cross the river to Jingzhou tonight!" Yun Zhao turned around and looked at the roaring Cangjiang River.

"Shangjing, I'm here. This time, if I don't capture you, I won't go back to the North!" He waved his fist vigorously. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian)
