The next day, Qing Cang took Zhou Cang to Xuchang. Xuchang was nearly a thousand miles away from Huaxia City. If you were riding a horse, it would take at least ten days to reach it. If you were tired these ten days, the speed of riding a horse was still a bit slow.

Ten days passed, in fact, it was not good news for Huaxia City. Things were changing. If a black dragon suddenly attacked, then Huaxia City would be unguarded. Qing Cang was afraid that the two major staff members could not resist the attacks of Black Dragon and others. After all, Black Dragon and others are modern people. They know how to use modern methods to attack Huaxia City. They are full of tricks, which is a big test for the two major staff members. If the problem is solved quickly, try to solve it as quickly as possible.

So he would not get to Xuchang by riding a horse. They first took a train and headed to Jinyang.

Finally, he arrived from Jinyang to Licheng, which had long been occupied by the Chinese army. Because Licheng was very close to the Yellow River, in this way, it was feasible that he wanted to reach Xuchang by water.

When they arrived at the city and appeared by the Yellow River, Zhou Cang asked, "Why didn't the commander take the land route? But he was going west. I remember Xuchang was in the south. Why did we come to the Yellow River? There are no ships on this river!"

At first, Zhou Cang didn't dare to ask too much, but in the end he asked.

He did not understand the purpose of the decision made by Qing Cang. That's why he asked this question. In his perception, land is easier to walk on land than water. After all, they are used to fighting on land and are not very clear about water. They are not very good at it. It can be said that water brings them endless fear or unknown. People often do things that they are sure of and will not try some unknown things easily. So in his opinion, Qing Cang should take land, which is better than water.

Qing Cang said: "Land route is not a good choice for us. Cao's army is not good at water. For water routes, they will definitely not spend a lot of effort to pay attention to it. And look, what is behind me?"

I don’t know when a swamp air ship appeared behind Qing Cang.

Zhou Cang recognized this air ship. At that time, Qing Cang was spared from attack because of this air ship. Now he understood what Qing Cang meant? Qing Cang wanted to use the air ship to complete the purpose of going down the river. He wanted to follow the Yellow River to Xuchang. Because the swamp air ship was also a ship after all, it also needed water to complete the lifting action.

"So the commander is going to do this, then I understand."

Only then did Zhou Cang understand Qing Cang’s intention, it turned out to be that.

"It's no time for us to leave."

Try to arrive before tomorrow evening. In fact, they need a longer distance through the water route, perhaps nearly 2,000 miles. But they can move forward quickly. With the existence of air ships, they will reach their destination several times faster than by land.

The air boat quickly got off the water, and the two of them sat on the boat and went down the Yellow River.

Such a long distance travel was very exhausting. Just sitting on the swamp air boat, I would be fooled. Qing Cang simply sat on the air boat like this and turned to autonomous driving, otherwise he would not have so much energy to take care of. They arrived in Xuchang on this trip.

At that time, it may give Cao's army a lot of surprises. At the same time, he can maintain close contact with Huaxia City. Because there are also telegraph machines and other items on the ship, which can send and receive telegrams, etc.

When Yuan Shu became emperor, Cao Cao sent Lu Bu to attack. This time, he would occupy most of Cao Cao's troops. The attack on Yuan Shu required huge military strength. As the first warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu's military strength should not be underestimated. How could the Black Dragon have never imagined it?

Qing Cang will arrive in Xuchang within two days and wait for the steam engine they stole. This trip is destined to be a huge test. But as long as their research is destroyed, Huaxia City will still lead. The probability of the Black Dragon trying to start a war again in a short period of time is reduced to 30%? Unless. They really have capable people who can create something like steam engines for them, which greatly improves their military strength. But this possibility is slim.

Qing Cang went to Xuchang this time. The importance of this trip was understandable. Let’s talk about Qing Cang, who took a swamp air boat to travel south along the Yellow River. They were extremely fast. Even if they met the Cao army defenders, the defenders could only see their tiny afterimages. They could no longer see their faces. Because the swamp air boat was considered an alien at that time. And for most of the time, they were traveling at night, so the probability of discovering them was slim.

The space in the air boat was OK, and it was not small to sit, and it was also possible to lie flat on the two of them. After they walked for several hours, Qing Cang lit the lights in the air boat and turned on the telegraph machine. At this time, it was when Yang Xiaomei and the others sent the telegram.

When he turned on the telegraph, a sound came from it. He picked up a lot of notes and took him half an hour to complete the translation.

"Commander, what did you say in the telegram?"

Zhou Cang and Qing Cang came out, looking at me and I looked at you, it was very boring, and news happened to come, and he also wanted to know what happened.

"Captain Yang said that Cao's steam engine was hidden in Guandu City!"

Guandu City is a city flowing down from Sishui Pass, and is not far from the Yellow River. There was a war in Guandu. At present, this war has not happened yet, and perhaps it will not happen in the future. It is called the Battle of Guandu.

The Battle of Guandu was one of the "three major battles" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the famous battles in Chinese history to defeat the strong with the weak. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army fought in Guandu (now northeast of Zhongmu, Henan), and launched a strategic decisive battle here. Cao Cao's surprise attack on the granary of Yuan's army in Wuchao (now west of Fengqiu, Henan), and then defeated the main force of Yuan's army. This battle laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify northern China.

This place is a secondary geographical location for Cao Jun. As for who chose this place, it is unknown.

"What, isn't that not far from Xuchang?"

"It's 150 miles away from Xuchang. It seems that we have chosen the right trip. We walked from the river and we may just arrive at Guandu!"

In fact, Qing Cang had long expected that the Black Dragon might be mainly waterways in the future. Before they developed the steam engine, the waterways could avoid traffic and traffic, and transport large items could be much more powerful than horse carriages and ox carriages. Most of the ancient kings repaired waterways, built canals, expanded river channels, etc. The labor cost and transportation cost of waterways were much lower than that of land.

Zhou Cang said: "The commander is indeed a magical plan! I think Cao's army must not know that we will give them a surprise attack through the water."

Qing Cang said, "We did not make any evil with them during this trip, but mainly for destruction."

"Yes! Destruction is the main thing! Someone Zhou Cang is here, destruction can be done!"

"Um!"

...

The two chatted for a while and then went to bed. With the existence of the swamp air boat, it could drive automatically, predict some dangers, and make predictions in advance. At the same time, the speed of driving at night would slow down a little. In ancient times, people went to bed early when it was dark, so nothing happened along the way, especially at night.

The next day, they had already traveled about 2/3 of the distance. Such speed can be called a strange speed.

Suddenly, the air ship stopped running. This alarmed the two people in their sleep. Qing Cang opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him. They were stunned. The Yellow River flowed down and was intercepted by a dam at some point.

At this time, the swamp air ship was in front of the dam, and the horizontal distance between the water surface upstream and downstream of the dam was about 18 meters apart. This made Qing Cang very puzzled, but thought about it, this kind of dam must have been made by Heilong. Judging from the shape of this dam, the shape of this dam is completely modern, and it seems to be a new one.

Zhao Zilong had only been there before they built a dam. It can be said that their speed was far beyond Qing Cang's imagination. He thought to himself that perhaps the strength of the Black Dragon was far more than that. This strengthened his destruction.

The swamp air boat must have predicted the danger in advance, so it stopped at this time.

Looking at the sudden fault ahead.

"Commander! What should I do?"

Zhou Cang asked, there was no way ahead at the moment. This huge problem was thrown to Qing Cang again. You should know that the difference between the upstream and downstream is about ten meters, and it is very difficult to get through unless you get off the boat and walk on.

"Zhou Cang"

"I am here"

Qing Cang said.

"I want to play exciting things, do you want to give it a try?"

Zhou Cang: "As long as the commander dares to play, I, Zhou Cang, dares to play."

Qing Cang looked at Zhou Cang, and his expression was firm at this time. He probably had full trust in Qing Cang. No matter what Qing Cang did, he would support him. Just like Qing Cang said today that he wanted to have a thrilling game, it must be a very dangerous thing, and he agreed without hesitation.

"Finish! Hold on to the handrail, there may be big bumps in a while."

When Qing Cang said this, Zhou Cang's heart skipped a beat. What is he going to do?

"What is the commander doing?"

"leap"

Qing Cang's two simple words contain extremely thrilling, yes, leap. Flying from upstream to downstream. It's that simple that Zhou Cang understands Qing Cang's meaning.

Qing Cang ignored Zhou Cang too much, and he changed the air ship to manual mode.

At this time, it was still about 20 meters away from the embankment. He didn't stop at all, but directly knocked down the accelerator and rushed towards the embankment. This scared Zhou Cang very much. He held the handrail tightly with both hands, for fear that he would be thrown to the four walls of the air ship when he flew away for a while, which would hurt! At the same time, he opened his eyes wide, making something unexpected happen. A large number of water splashes appeared in front of him. The swamp air ship did not have the leap he expected. Instead, he drew a perfect arc in front of the embankment and turned it back.

Qing Cang did not leap, but turned back. Qing Cang's actions made him puzzled. He didn't know that a large number of numbers appeared in Qing Cang's eyes at this time, and these numbers were decreasing sharply, so he knew that he could not succeed in this leap, and he might have been seriously injured or died, so he stopped in time.

Qing Cang did not stop next. Instead, he knocked down the accelerator again. At this time, he turned a corner to the other side of the dam. This time, he chose another dam. The place he chose was on the other side of the dam.

At this time, the engine roared. The speed this time was much faster than before. Zhou Cang was so scared that he quickly held his hand again and held the railing tightly. This time, he closed his eyes. Because when he opened his eyes just now, he saw the drop and the violent Yellow River water made him feel uneasy. At this time, he would rather close his eyes.

However, this time, the swamp air ship did not turn again, but rushed towards the embankment. Qing Cang could see clearly the places that Zhou Cang could not see. As long as he went, the numbers in his eyes would not decrease sharply, then he could basically judge that the direction was correct. If there was a sharp decrease, he would stop it in time. When encountering some dangers, he could judge the danger by relying on the numbers in his eyes. This is his unusual place. Of course, it also has a powerful survival system that provides it with a large number of weapons and equipment. It can be said that with this system, he is simply omnipotent.

The air boat still flew out, and Zhou Cang felt his body lightening, as if he had fallen into a deep abyss. At this time, his eyes were still not dared to open.

With a thud, the swamp air boat fell to the water surface. A large number of water splashes were raised. The huge reaction force shook the two of them, making them feel a pain in their waists. They were all stunned. And Zhou Cang was almost thrown to the wall of the boat.

Zhou Cang slowly opened his eyes after a while. They were safe. He said with lingering fear. "Commander. It was really thrilling just now. How did you judge that this place is safe?"

Zhou Cang looked around and saw stones everywhere, except where they were. It was dangerous. This width was not wide. If it was on the dam, just a small deviation of angle would cause the ship to be destroyed. He felt it was very difficult, so he asked Qing Cang.

Qing Cang smiled. "It just happened, let's go."

He would not tell Zhou Cang his secret. It was all the numbers in his eyes that were caused by the fact that with such numbers, one could predict the existence of danger in advance. Along the way, there were no less than 30 dangers of all sizes. However, they were all resolved by Qing Cang one by one. Zhou Cang just didn't know it. Zhou Cang looked at Qing Cang with a vague understanding and said.

"That's the commander's luck, it's really good. It was too thrilling just now, and I was fighting with my life. I could feel the commander's strong self-confidence!"

This time, the two went downstream safely. Qing Cang handed over the driving rights to the swamp air ship again. The driving also turned into autonomous driving, and there was still more than half of the journey to go. And I don’t know how many dangers you have to face during this long journey.

The swamp air ship finally set off again. Its speed became faster and faster, and its sight was better during the day, so it was faster.

At this speed, I believe that I will definitely be able to reach the dock around Guandu before this evening.
Chapter completed!
