The fleets were docking one after another, and the army had already put martial law around the dock, while the Masters lined up and stood along the dock.

Close to the shore are densely packed with wheelbarrows and twin-wheelers, and the coachmen are already ready.

The waterline was pressed not far from the side of the ship. You could tell at a glance that it was full of heavy cargo. Large-scale transportation such as this was almost difficult to explain with other goods except for grain, porcelain and iron.

That's right, this is the grain ship, the grain ship coming from Shouzhou.

Although Haozhou is also a grain-producing land, it does not have much reserves. As the armies began to set off and gather in Haozhou, logistics supplies, food and supplies began to gather in Zhongli one after another.

Everyone knows that this battle is of great fate, and Jiang Feng also knows the difficulties faced by this battle. Even though he had already started to do a lot of preparations before, he still had to speak in the end with the war.

Fortunately, Zhongli City is close to Huai River and has many open spaces along the river bank. The wooden sheds built urgently can be used as temporary storage places for various strategic materials such as grain, equipment, weapons and armor.

The grain ship finally landed, and the Masters began to board the boat and carry the grain bags one after another and go ashore along the elastic board.

As soon as you get ashore, a wheelbarrow or a two-wheeled plate cart will come up immediately. The wheelbarrow can withstand five or six packs of grain, but the two-wheeled cart is much more. It is no problem to put about ten packs of grain on it.

The road along the river bank from the dock was urgently paved with loess mixed with sand and gravel, and after repeated pressing with special cast iron grinders, it can meet the travel requirements of such unicycles and double-wheeled plate carts.

Zhang Jize was carefully observing the use of the two-wheeled trolley. As a military escort of the Sishi in the Mansion, he needed to examine the use effect of this improved two-wheeled trolley.

The so-called improvement is actually to improve the shaft of the double-wheeled plate truck. In addition to the iron shafts studied and promoted by the Daocang Institute, the most important thing is to use spoke bearings. This spoke bearing greatly enhances the wheel rolling effect, which is light and labor-saving, and has also greatly improved the quality.

However, this kind of promotion speed is relatively slow. Currently, less than 100 twin-wheeled carts have been improved, and they have been sent directly to Haozhou for use.

With the rapid expansion of the jurisdiction, Huang Anjin, who had returned from Chang'an, had officially obtained the imperial edict and notice from the court on appointing the Guangxi Shou Defensive and Defensive Envoy Jiang Feng as the Huaiyou Observation and Disposal Envoy. Of course, the title of Huaiyou Xuanfu Envoy has not been cancelled, but compared with the title of Huaiyou Observation and Disposal Envoy, the weight of Xuanfu Envoy is a little lighter.

There are many reasons why this edict was obtained so quickly.

First, the situation in Guanzhong was a bit unstable. The Dangxiang people and the Guanfeng of Shannan West Dao made Yang Wenchang join forces to defeat the Tubo people and achieved unprecedented military achievements. Due to the rapid expansion of Yang Wenchang's strength, the court had to reward Yang Wenchang. Not only did he give him a title, but he also officially appointed him as the governor of Shannan West Dao.

A reward for the position of Jiedushi means that Yang Wenchang has the power to govern the entire Shannan West Road. Although this power still needs to be realized through its power, after all, with this name, it would be very different.

Due to the rapid expansion of Yang Wenchang's strength, the court also felt that some local vassals who were more respectful to the court were supported. Jiang Feng obtained this leap-forward promotion from the Huaiyou Observation and Disciplinary Envoy, and Yuan Huaihe also obtained the position of Cai Yingbo Observation and Disciplinary Envoy, but the position of Yingzhou Governor who requested the appointment of Yuan Huaide was shelved.

Second, Jiang Feng showed respect for the court, especially asking the court to send officials to govern Hezhou, which made the court overjoyed, and his impression of Jiang Feng was even more beautiful. You should know that it was a customary fact that it was already a convention for not leaving Guanzhong. Now a vassal family that asked the court to send officials to his command to govern was suddenly coming. It was simply "touching".

Third, Li Jin and Yuchi Wubing matched each other, which is also a very important factor.

There is no big change in the observation and disposal of the government and the defense and the government, but the expansion of the jurisdiction means a rapid increase in affairs, and the affairs of the six departments in the government have also begun to extend downward, from three states to five and a half states, this change is also reflected in the increasing lack of manpower.

Even if the students of a short-term training class are freshly released every three months in the Dadao Academy, it is still difficult to meet the needs of the prefectures and counties and the observation and handling of the government. Now that Si Gong joins the army, Du Tuo is temporarily appointed, and the students assigned to each period have to face the competition from the heads of the prefectures and county officials.

This is also a major reason why Chen Wei believes that it is imperative to open a subject. It is really that the vacancies for officials are too large.

Zhang Jize was very interested in magic and magic before, but what disappointed him was that he really lacked talent for magic and magic. Although he practiced with a sorcerer for three years, the final result was that he had difficulty achieving success in this area. In depressed, Zhang Jize had to choose to study again.

As a child of the Zhang clan, he went to Dadao Academy to study without much trouble. He had some magical background in Dadao Academy and had performed better than others when he was a child, so he soon got the opportunity to graduate and join the Shouzhou Governor's Mansion to become a six-cao official.

With the need for the selection of officials at all levels of the Defense Guardian's Office, Zhang Jize was fortunate to be selected as the commander of the Defense Guardian's Office to join the army, and specialize in coordinating and communicating with the Daocangle Office, which officially merged the Ministry of Education Office.

The usage status of these vehicles will be recorded by Zhang Jize and will be written as report feedback so that further improvements will be made in the next step.

Judging from the current situation, the situation of this two-wheeled cart is pretty good. The two masters can easily push more than ten bags of food, and it is faster than the unicycle in terms of speed, but the requirements for the width and narrowness of the road are higher.

With a "boom", the rain finally fell.

It was hot for several days and I thought the rain was about to come down, but it was still not falling for a long time. Now it is finally here.

With the strong wind, the windows kept shaking, and the light in the hall suddenly darkened.

Yang Xun has already taken office as the governor of Luzhou, and the governor of Haozhou is temporarily vacant, and is temporarily replaced by the governor of Hao Prefect Sun Ze.

Originally, Jiang Feng intended to ask Yang Xun to stay in Haozhou for a while before taking office in Luzhou, but Yang Xun assured Jiang Feng that Sun Ze's ability was absolutely trustworthy, and even said that he had already handed over many of the work in Haozhou to Sun Ze, which made Jiang Feng feel a little relieved.

However, Sun Ze's performance later did satisfy Jiang Feng, especially when a large number of food and supplies were transported and the fleet arrived in Zhongli one after another, many of the work Sun Ze did in advance were demonstrated.

"Where has the First Navy Army gone?"

"It has already entered the Huai River from Ying River. It rained heavily upstream of Ru River two days ago, and the Huai River level has risen. It is estimated that the fleet will come down very quickly." Mei Kuang responded.

Jiang Feng's eyes were still on the map hanging in the center.

The military generals and civil servants standing on both sides of the hall remained silent.

"Where is the first cavalry army and the second cavalry army?" In fact, Jiang Feng had asked these questions several times, but he still subconsciously wanted to ask, because this battle was too critical.

"The First Cavalry Army has already set sail near Tushan, and is undergoing the final training there. The Second Cavalry Army is still in Wuzhou. Their horses have just been filled in, so it may take some time to train and adapt." Cui Shang replied.

Tushan is only a few dozen miles away from Zhongli, which means that the first cavalry army has actually made preparations before the war, but the second cavalry army is not good yet.

"I'm afraid I can't wait." Jiang Feng shook his head, "Are you ready to stop building the floating bridge?"

"Don't worry, you can build two floating bridges within six hours, and all kinds of supplies are ready to be used as the ones." Cui Shang said confidently.

"Am I too nagging?" Jiang Feng couldn't help laughing, "I always thought I was very general, and Taishan did not change color. Unexpectedly, when it was really critical, I was still a little nervous. Haha, cheer myself up. If I was defeated, I could go back to Huaiyou to repeat it. Anyway, Li Bing and the ant thief were still having a lot of fun fighting, and they didn't have the heart to deal with us, but how could they be willing to lose?"

A burst of rapid footsteps came in, and Wang Miao walked in: "Just, the Sixth Army and the Eighth Army have arrived outside the city and are camping. The First Army and the Second Army of the Right Chamber have also passed Dingyuan and are expected to arrive in the future."

"Well, it seems that Qin Han and Cheng Gan really want to show their performance in this battle. I am looking forward to it, too." Jiang Feng took a deep breath, "Wanshan, is there no problem with Huanshui's survey?"

"Don't worry, you are here, we have arranged four groups, and we will choose the river crossing point in five miles apart. As of yesterday, the feedback has been very good, and there is no problem with crossing the river." Zhang Wanshan responded quickly.

After crossing the Huai River, you need to cross the Huan River. Qi County is on the south bank of the Huan River, and part of Yao Chengtai's main force is stationed in Qi County.

"Bai Ling, the time must be calculated. In addition, Zi Yu, you and Chunlai led the navy army, as well as the first and second troops of the Right Xiang army, and the timing must be determined. Well, you have to calculate it carefully."

Jiang Feng's eyes returned to the map, and the planning in his mind passed over and over again. He also knew that no matter how good the planning was, the plan did not change quickly. You could not calculate all the accidents, so you could only hand it over to the general who led the troops to deal with it on the spot.
