On the day when the army was out of food, when the soldiers were hungry for most of the day, Di Yong finally rushed back with dozens of trucks of food.

Di Qing, overjoyed, took Gan Qi's handwritten letter and the joy on his face slowly sank.

"I have good intentions. I am afraid that no one in the world can think of such a method, but no one can match the courage of Daojian." Di Qing actually had some helplessness in his tone.

People who dare to act like Gan Qi in this world are afraid that they will be gone. Di Qing, in front of him, was worried that the soldiers under his command would go to rob him after they were hungry, but Gan Qi's solution was a fraud.

But what if it doesn't cheat? This is Di Qing's helplessness. If the food is one or two days late, even if the soldiers in the camp robbed them unknown, they would probably start stealing nearby.

There are some things that Di Qing wants to do, and they are also arranged by Gan Qi. If Di Qing is asked to do these things at other times, Di Qing will never be able to do them, but today is different. Gan Qi, a sage child, even the fraudulent things are done, what else Di Qing is unwilling to do? What's more, what they have to do is for himself and the soldiers under his command.

Di Qing shook his head and sighed, Huotou Camp buried a pot and made rice, and the soldiers who had been hungry for most of the day were all waiting in a drool.

Several bowls and plates were reached in front of Di Qing, but Di Qing had no appetite at all. Di Qing was eating very deliciously and kept talking to persuade Di Qing to eat a little too.

Di Qing still didn't move his chopsticks, but just looked at the food in front of him and was stunned.

In Tokyo City.

Han Qi was in a good mood. After planning, he was extremely satisfied. He felt that these plans were unsolvable and must-kill.

Having said that, Han Qi's plan is really a must-have situation. With conventional means, there is no solution.

Even if Di Qing had great means, he could not control thousands of soldiers, and those thousands of soldiers could not really starve to death.

Han Qi even went to the Privy Council several times and ordered the Privy Council to send people to inspect several imperial guards in the capital during this period and review the troops. It seemed that it was just a routine assessment, but in fact it was just preparing for war in secret and preparing to wipe out Di Qing, who was robbing the prefecture and raising a rebellion.

Even Han Qi prepared several times for what he said in front of the emperor.

Today, Han Qi arrived at the Privy Council again, which was his territory. Before being promoted to the position of Pingzhang, the minister of the Secretariat, Han Qi was the Privy Council envoy, and the current Privy Council envoy was Tian Kuang.

Tian Kuang is also a cruel person. Why do you say that Tian Kuang is cruel? It was just because an army in Baozhou launched a rebellion, killing the imperial court and ordering officials to capture the city. Tian Kuang was ordered to quell the rebellion and used various promises to surrender more than 2,000 rebel soldiers. But he turned around and buried the main 429 people alive.

Note that it was buried alive. Tian Kuang was a scholar who was a legitimate Jinshi. Because of this incident, Tian Kuang was promoted to a title and promoted to a living sect, and became a Beijing official.

Han Qi sat opposite Tian Kuang and asked, "Where is Di Qing's army?"

Tian Kuang replied: "The latest provincial government documents have not arrived yet, but according to speculation, they should have entered Chenzhou at this time."

Han Qi was thinking in his heart and said, "Chenzhou, Hengzhou, and Tanzhou, it should be almost the same, right?"

Tian Kuang nodded and replied, "Well, it should be almost done. When the Texas Prefecture Document arrives in Tokyo, there should be a report on the looting of the generals."

Han Qi nodded: "If the report of the robbery of the military general arrives, I will be sent to me as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, my husband."

If you want to say that Han Qi is not comparable to Wen Yanbo. As both of them are, Wen Yanbo is far behind Han Qi by 108,000 miles. Not to mention the difference in means between the two, just talking about power, the two cannot be compared.

Official positions sometimes do not represent power. Power is managed. Although Han Qi's promotion process is not so glorious, compared to Wen Yanbo's process of giving Shu brocade to the imperial concubine in the harem, Han Qi is not sure how high it is. At least Han Qi has really managed many places, managed major disasters, and led troops to battle. Han Qi has also participated in the new policy of celebrating the Li Li in the past.

In terms of the army, Han Qi is an unquestionable boss. In the past, Di Qing was just a lackey under his disciples, and his words were not rough. Wen Yanbo followed the trend and attacked Di Qing, but said in front of the emperor that Di Qing was Zhao Kuangyin of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Then he pretended to be like a husband in front of Di Qing. Looking at Di Qing's cautious and respectful appearance, it was probably a kind of enjoyment. Han Qi wanted to control Di Qing, which was full of means, and he could just do whatever he wanted.

In the final analysis, Han Qi is much more capable than Wen Yanbo.

Han Qi explained some things to Tian Kuan and left the Privy Council. Everything was ready, only one state government left to report it. As long as the report arrived, it would be Di Qing's end.

Han Qi, who left the Privy Council, was in a very good mood at this moment. How could Di Qing, an old man, be his opponent of Grand Duke Han? He has been holding Di Qing for the rest of his life, and this time is not bad.

It's a pity, but unfortunately, this one is the only one, the last one.

At this time, Gan Qi's ship had entered the canal to the north. The reason why he was so fast was that he was going down the Yangtze River and was extremely fast. As Li Bai said in his poem, Jiangling thousands of miles away in one day.

The canal is a canal that is manually dug. The earliest record in China was more than 500 BC. The canal was called Xu River, which was dug by Wu Zixu in order to attack the Chu State, so it was called Xu River.

More than 200 BC, in order to unify Lingnan and attack Baiyue, Qin Shihuang dug the Ling Canal. Once the canal was opened, 500,000 troops rushed around. Lingnan was the eastern part of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the junction with Hunan and Jiangxi were all entered into Qin territory. It was the great unification.

The canal that Gan Qi sailed on a boat today is the main river channel called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in later generations. However, the Grand Canal at this time is still somewhat different from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in later generations. The Grand Canal in later generations basically maintained a straight line between north and south. The Grand Canal completed by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang borrowed many rivers, not straight lines, but many river channels with the shape of "zhi". It even borrowed a long section of the Yellow River channel, and borrowed some small canals dug out in previous dynasties before the Sui Dynasty.

The basically straight river channel of the Grand Canal in later generations was also continued to be excavated and repaired in all dynasties.

Historical books criticized Emperor Yang Guang of Sui for his efforts to waste the people and damage their wealth, and historians of all dynasties often regarded Yang Guang as a negative example. However, all dynasties benefited from the Grand Canal dug by Yang Guang. It was also because of this Grand Canal that enriched the materials produced in the south of the Yangtze River could easily be transported to the north. Without this canal, it would be impossible to support the prosperity of the millions of Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty. Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty could not have set the capital in Beijing.

Only through this canal by Emperor Yang of Sui, China has a truly high-speed road that connects the north and south. People's exchanges and materials exchanges are almost unobstructed. Even Emperor Huizong of Song was able to use this canal to transport countless large stones several meters high from the south to Bianliang, two thousand miles away. In order to allow these large stones to enter the city of Bianliang, he did not hesitate to demolish the city gates.

Yang Guang's original purpose of digging this canal was also to go to the war to go to Goguryeo three times.

The Chinese seem to have been good at major projects since ancient times. In more than 500 BC, they could mobilize dozens or millions of people to dig canals and build the Great Wall. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, in order to build the Grand Canal, two million people could even be recruited to excavate every month.

This shows that the Chinese are good at fighting and can do anything for war. In the era when there were almost no iron tools and in the era when bronze tools were scarce, huge canals could be dug for war. This kind of project in Europe would not appear until the industrial revolution began for a long time.

Gan Qi stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the Grand Canal with many thoughts. The reason why China can maintain unity for a long time is that this canal has made great contributions. In order to ensure national unity, the Chinese have tried their best.

There are some other ways that many people can't imagine, such as the division of provinces in later generations, and many of them are considered in order to ensure that the country is not divided. For example, people from a province do not speak the same language at all, and there are also many differences in customs, but they just divide them into one province. This kind of artificially tying two different groups of people into the same province is most obvious in central China.

For example, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei. People in southern Anhui are very close to Shanghai in terms of accents and customs, and belong to the ancient Jiangnan people, but the accents and customs of people in northern Anhui are like Henan people. The same is true for Jiangsu. Southern and northern Jiangsu are not like the same province at all. The accents and customs of people in northern Jiangsu are relatively similar to those of Shandong people. Southern Jiangsu is naturally the soft language of Wunong in Jiangnan. There are similar situations in Hubei. In Xiangyang, there are almost Henan’s accents and customs, but they are forced to be placed in Hubei Province.

These provinces are all in the middle of China, and are also the difference between the north and the south. The division of provinces in this way is man-made. People who decide to divide them in this way have many unexpected considerations in them, in order not to divide the north and the south and maintain unity. In order to unify this, the Chinese can be said to rack their brains and try their best to do so.

This is obsession! The Chinese people have been obsessed for thousands of years.

Ganqi, who was heading north quickly above the canal, was almost entering the territory of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Di Qing from the south is about to arrive in Tanzhou at this time.

Outside Tanzhou City, people waited with contracts every day, waiting for Di Qing's army to bring the two thousand four-chariot and five-chariot buffaloes.

Di Qing looked out at the Tanzhou city from afar, frowned, took a deep breath, and ordered his left and right to speed up.

More than a thousand people happily rushed out of the city with contracts, and welcomed the army that was waiting for victory. They waited for the army to set up camp and waited for Di Qing to send people to welcome them all into the military camp.
Chapter completed!
