Chapter 603 700,000 People Want to Cross the Yellow River
The next day, Qing Cang took an army of 700,000 to Guandu.
This time, he wanted to go directly to Guandu that bridge. That bridge must be able to cross so many chariots and tanks, otherwise how could Cao Cao's army cross the Yellow River at that time?
But when he reached a distance of 300 meters outside the bridge, he saw that the bridge no longer existed. This made him a little puzzled, but from a distance, there was indeed no bridge in the distance.
At this time, the guards came back to report.
He said: "Qingdi! The bridge in front has been completely blown up."
Qing Cang asked in shock: "What! How big is it to blow up?"
The soldier said, "Even the piers are gone. Moreover, after exploration, the location of the bridge is a relatively narrow place at the mouth of the entire Yellow River. After being bombed, it became the widest place."
Generally, the bridges where they are located will be built in narrower places, because they can save a lot of materials and the difficulty will become much smaller.
In order to prevent Qing Cang from crossing the Yellow River with his army and reaching Guandu, Sima Yi worked directly on the bridge.
He blew up the bridge and stopped Qing Cang's army from crossing the bridge. In this way, Guandu would not be attacked in a short period of time. And they had time to defend Guandu well.
This was Qing Cang's first time playing against Sima Yi. He thought to himself that Sima Yi was very smart as the legendary one. Even the bridge bombing was done, which meant that this guy had begun to implement some tricks, and at the same time he gave up the control of Yangwu and other cities. Because when the bridge exploded, they could not support Yangwu. However, small cities like Yangwu were really nothing to them.
Therefore, it is actually not difficult to defeat Sima Yi.
But Qing Cang was already prepared, no matter how difficult it was, he wanted to completely unify the south occupied by Sima Yi.
Now there is a huge problem before Qing Cang, that is, how to cross the Yellow River estuary.
He owns tens of thousands of tanks and tanks, as well as hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all of them have to cross the river. When the army cannot cross the Yellow River, then occupying Guandu will become an empty talk.
"Is there a bridge nearby?"
"When Emperor Qing, there is no bridge within a radius of a hundred miles. There are several bridges farther away, which are already very broken."
In this way, it can be said that this bridge should be the strongest and largest bridge, but unfortunately it was blown up by Sima Yi. In this way, Qing Cang must think of a solution.
"Let the army camp first! I think of a good idea and then cross the river."
After ordering, the 700,000 army began to set up camp. Qingcang went aside to find a way.
The way he could think of was to build another bridge, a bridge that was strong enough, and there seemed to be no other choice than concrete reinforced concrete.
Suddenly he had a sudden inspiration and asked the soldiers beside him and said:
"Can there be bridge-building experts in our army?"
As soon as this question arose, someone volunteered to stand up.
The man said, "I have followed Minister Wang for a while and have a certain understanding of the bridge."
At this time, someone stood up again, and all of them were Wang Zongwei's subordinates.
In order to respond to the call, these people came out directly with the army, which happened to be useful now.
So Qing Cang said, I want you to design a bridge within half a day. And according to local conditions, build another bridge at the Yellow River exit. As for the location or something, you will choose.
At this time someone asked, "If you build a bridge, you need reinforced concrete bridges, but we don't have these things."
"Have we successfully shipped it from China?"
What they think about is the issue of these raw materials.
Qing Cang said, "There are steel bars in Yangwu City, and as for concrete, it can be transported from the nearest city."
The railway can reach a very wide range of places now.
Therefore, once the issue of transporting some raw materials is involved, the entire Chinese country will be mobilized directly. Qing Cang decided to build another bridge, which will have some impact on their attack process, but this impact is also within his consideration. He is ready and ready to fight a long battle.
It was only the third day of departure. Even if he spent some time on Guandu, it was within his expectations.
So these people started to design bridges.
At this time, Qing Cang said, "If you have any difficulty, you can raise it, or you can express any ideas."
Qing Cang didn't expect that there were bridge experts among these people.
They have been building bridges for some years. They are also familiar with the structure. After all, China is so big. The demand for bridges and other buildings is very huge.
At this time, someone stood up and said, "Emperor Qing! I have participated in the construction of the bridge leading to the Huns."
This was their first railway that Qing Cang remembered that year. To cross the Yellow River, a bridge had to be built. The bridge was blown up several times by Cao Cao, so it was rebuilt several times. Each reconstruction gave the bridge a new life and was also stronger.
There are people in his army who participated in the construction of the bridge. This is nothing more than good news for him, because the water in the Yellow River Basin is quite special. Since he can succeed, there must be a reason for his success.
So Qing Cang asked, "What's your name?"
The man replied, "Emperor Qing, my name is Ma Ai!"
Qing Cang nodded and said, "Ma Nai! Very good, you will supervise the construction of this bridge."
After the matter was arranged, Qing Cang no longer cared about it.
Because he knows how to delegate power, decentralize power is what he can reach today's height. It is also because of the decentralization of power that people below can handle what they are good at. Such a result will only be better. If you intervene too much, it may have some impact on the results, and sometimes it is not as expected.
It is too urgent to cross the bridge, so Qing Cang did not put too much pressure on them. After all, these people are experienced craftsmen.
Qing Cang first ordered the army to take a break and wait for the plan to come out. He would talk about it when he saw that there was no problem.
He believed that with his extensive knowledge, it would be of some help to the construction of this bridge.
Everyone began to work hard, and believed that when the time came, they would definitely make the best plan. Qing Cang could only wait patiently until the plan came out and continue to be implemented.
Water can carry boats and can also overturn boats. The Yellow River has always been the mother river of the Chinese children. For thousands of years, it has been a shocking and awe-inspiring name. Today, Qingcang wants to build a bridge on this long river.
