Chen Shishi's words made Zhao Bing stunned. He knew that there was no secret to the marching of a large army, and he had made public appearances in the Yingshan County military camp. Although confidentiality measures had been taken in the camp, no one could guarantee whether there were enemy spies hidden there. It can be said that his whereabouts had been revealed. He did not care about this. At this time, the enemy's conspiracy and mission had already set off, and he had arrived at the destination. It was meaningless to keep it confidential.

However, what surprised Zhao Bing was that according to the rules, they had already informed the local government and the military in advance, so they should arrange the matter of taking over the reception, even if they knew they did not like these things, because this was related to the emperor's majesty, otherwise they could be punished for disrespectful crimes of the emperor. Now is an extraordinary period, and the military should send troops early to clear obstacles on the way, and send guards along the way to pity the emperor's safety.

Now the two war zones in the east and west are bounded by Tang Baishui. Sun Kai has already escorted the car here, while Jingxiang should have built a floating bridge on Baishui and welcomed the car at the bridgehead. However, in the current situation, not only is there only a simple floating bridge on the river, but infantry and cavalry can barely pass through, and it is very difficult for the chariots to walk on it. It can be seen that they have not achieved their preparation, let alone sent troops to guard them.

Jiang Jin was born in a prime minister and should not be ignorant of these rules. Even if he was seriously injured and had difficulty moving, he would send him here to welcome him. When he arrived, Zhao Bing had already felt the other party's contempt, but he had just figured out the reason for his withdrawal from the court, thinking that this was just a small trick, and he did not feel contemptuous.

Now Chen Shishi mentioned it again, and the enemy suddenly appeared here, he thought about the fact that Fancheng might have been lost, which made Zhao Bing feel that the situation seemed a bit complicated. Could it be that Jiang Jin had been completely undermined and had lost the final control of each division, or was it that someone deliberately set up obstacles in the future to prevent him from entering Xiangyang?

This situation is what Zhao Bing most reluctant to see, but the reactions from all sides show that the situation has not deteriorated so. He also believes that Jiang Jin's ability will not be completely undermined unless he is completely unable to manage the people. However, he believes that even if the Jingxiang ministries are completely out of control, he is confident that they will be brought back to their command.

"Your Majesty, the vanguard of the Cavalry Brigade has driven the enemy twenty miles away, but due to the complex terrain and unclear situation, he did not continue to go deeper. The scouts searching along the river did not find any enemy naval troops appearing upstream. Please tell me if you continue to cross the river!" Ni Liang hurried over and reported.

"Well, it's already noon now, and it's too late to build a bridge. Stop crossing the river, camp on the spot, strengthen alert and reconnaissance." Zhao Bing nodded and ordered, "I ordered all the supplies to collect ships, cut down trees, prepare for building bridges, and cross the river tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, are you waiting for another two days? Jingxiang has not sent anyone to contact us yet, and the location of the Jingxiang camp is unknown. If we cross the river rashly and the situation is unclear, it is difficult to ensure that Your Majesty is safe. It is better to observe the situation and cross the river before crossing the river!" Ni Liang felt that it was too risky, and if he crossed the river and the rear road was cut off, they would have no room for maneuver, so he suggested that they temporarily postpone the crossing of the river.

"Okay, but you must also be prepared to cross the river. This is the rainy season. Once the river water surges, it will be difficult to cross the river again!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment.

"I have sent people to monitor the water situation and repay it every other hour!" Ni Liang replied.

"Where is Zheng Yong at?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Your Majesty, the latest return is that the navy has left Ezhou the day before yesterday and goes up the Han River. According to the itinerary, it should have entered Yingzhou. If it goes well, it will be able to reach Xiangyang in two days." Ni Liang replied.

"Well, you send someone to contact the Jingxiang Marine General Administration in the name of the Imperial Front Guard. I want to see why they are so calm!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!" Ni Liang replied. He had been with His Majesty for so many years, and naturally he could see that although the emperor's face was calm and he did not speak with anger. He was already angry, but he still left room to maneuver to prevent Jiang Jin from being too embarrassed in the future. Otherwise, he would not have asked him to contact him in his own name.

"Your Majesty!" Tian Qi, who was in the dark, came over to salute immediately when he saw His Majesty wavering.

"Is there any new news on your side?" Zhao Bing asked as he walked.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as yet. Due to our marching for several days and our whereabouts are uncertain, the contact points established by the Jinghu Transportation Department are not complete, and there are many twists and turns, so it is difficult to submit the information as soon as possible." Tian Qi replied.

"Well, you must contact the army as soon as possible, find out the reasons for the situation, and be prepared for the response." Zhao Bing understood that due to the war, many villages and towns were destroyed, and the major traffic arteries were blocked. In addition, this is a newly recovered area, so it takes time to set up contact points. Now the Affairs Bureau can still guarantee that it will be reported every three days at the latest, which is very rare.

"Report to Your Majesty, my subordinates have already started contacting you when they leave Suizhou. There is already preparations there. If the leader is determined to change, he will immediately start to ensure that your Majesty is in good condition." Tian Qi replied.

"I did a good job, I hope I won't go that step!" Zhao Bing looked up at the sky. The clouds gathered in the sky blocked the sunlight, and a sudden rain was brewing again.

The emergency strategy is that when the situation is critical, the Bureau of Affairs can break the provision that the court is not allowed to participate in court affairs without intention and cannot exercise the right of judgment, and directly take decisive measures against dangerous targets. This power can only be used by Zheng Huchen, who is in charge of the Bureau of Affairs, and he is the "big leader" internally. However, he has never used this privilege since the establishment of the Bureau of Affairs, and this activation shows that he is also very worried about the situation in Jingxiang. However, Zhao Bing thought that it was due to distrust of the imperial guards in front of the original palace, after all, he was almost attacked by them.

"The leader is worried about the safety of Your Majesty's personal expedition to Xiangyang, so he wanted to come to Xiangyang to follow his entourage, but he had to give up after receiving the order from Your Majesty to assist the court in peace. However, the leader has sent an operation team to the imperial court to obey the order and guard His Majesty's side." Tian Qi reported again.

"Haha, he was thinking carefully, and his suspicion became more and more serious. He didn't even believe my guard camp." Zhao Bing said with a giggle after hearing this.

"The leader always teaches his subordinates a lesson. He says that the Bureau of Affairs is His Majesty's eyes and ears, and his Majesty's private army. Protecting His Majesty's safety is the top priority of the Bureau of Affairs. It is not an exaggeration to be cautious. Everyone in the Bureau of Affairs must be prepared to die for His Majesty at any time. Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, they must be willing to sacrifice themselves!" Tian Qi reported.

"What he said is blunt, what do you think?" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile. Zheng Huchen said this every day to brainwash his subordinates, put his safety above national interests, and cultivate these people into their own loyal people. It is no wonder that they don't think anyone looks like good people.

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" Tian Qi replied without hesitation.

"I hope you all live well, enjoy peace and live a normal life!" Zhao Bing turned around and patted Qi on the shoulder.

"With Your Majesty here, this wish will definitely be fulfilled!" Tian Qi's face, which had always been cold, appeared in a flash, and he bowed deeply...

Seeing that rain was coming again, in order to avoid flooding, the entire army moved to the high ground on the shore to re-establish the camp. A little while, the wind and rain were heavy, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from the air, and the entire camp was shrouded in the rain and fog. The imperial tent was assembled with a number of modified chariots. At this time, all the wings on the outside were opened, shaped like eaves, and a ceiling was supported on it. Even if the rain was pouring, the tent could still be kept dry.

"This rain is too heavy, I'm afraid the downstream will easily cause disasters!" Zhao Bing sat in the tent, looking at the Baishui River through the side window. Although he couldn't see clearly, the thunderous sound of the water flowed into his ears, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Official family, have some hot tea!" Wang De presented the tea and signaled Xiaohuang's door to close the window.

"Well, after July, the frequent rainfall is different from previous years. Water conservancy facilities in the Lianghuai area are disrepaired and the Yellow River embankment is seriously damaged, which is very easy to cause disasters!" Zhao Bing said worriedly.

In the early years of Jianyan, in order to prevent the Jin soldiers from moving south, Kaifeng garrison Du Chong came up with a bad idea: he manipulated the Yellow River embankment in Huaxian, causing the largest diversion in the history of the Yellow River: Jianyan diversion. This diversion not only changed the direction of the Yellow River, but also completely destroyed the Huaihe River's status as a "du". Before the Yellow River divert, the Huaihe River waterway west of Hongze Lake was roughly the same as now, and the Huaihe River east of Hongze Lake entered the sea in Xiangshui County, Jiangsu.

At that time, the Huai River was a large river that was more than a thousand kilometers long, with its main tributaries including Sishui, Canal Bian River, Wo River, Fei River, Ying River and Ru River. After Du Chong broke through the river, the surging Yellow River water flooded in North China, entering the Huai River from Sishui and occupying the Huai River channel into the Yellow Sea. It is known in history as "taking Huai River into the Sea". After that, the Yellow River waterway swayed, either from Sishui, Bian River, or from Wo River, or from Ying River, or several branches into the Huai River at the same time.

Unfortunately, Du Chong's decision not only failed to stop the Jin army, but also caused frequent floods in the north and the people were living in poverty. Of course, this was not something that the Southern Song Dynasty needed to worry about. Anyway, the north of the Yangtze River returned to the Jin Dynasty, and Du Chong himself surrendered. When the Mongolian Yuan went south, he continued to defeat the enemy by artificial breaking the river, making the dams and river banks of the Yellow River extremely fragile.

Over the years, the two Huaihe River and Huaibei areas have almost every increase in rainfall. It can be said to be a small disaster every three years and a major disaster every five years. Last year, the Yellow River was in Kaifeng, Chenliu and other 15 breaches, which affected the entire lower reaches of the Huaihe River. This year, the war broke out again. The Mongolian Yuan was unwilling to repair the embankment. After returning to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing had to deal with this. Although he had reminded him to dredge and repair the embankment before leaving, how could he be complete in a hurry?

If the two Huaihe Rivers are in disaster again, it will not only cause huge population and material losses, but will not be conducive to economic recovery. This will also bring great pressure to the finance department, but also make it difficult for the strategy of consolidating the two Huai Rivers and entering the Central Plains...
