Chapter 367 Sacrifice to the River God

Chapter 367 Sacrifice to the River God
In a desperate situation, Zhang Shun had no choice but to recruit his staff and generals to ask for advice.Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, not knowing how to respond.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to dismantle the problem, and asked in detail: "Now that we are in a dangerous place, surrounded on three sides and facing water on one side, what should we do?"

"If you break out of the siege, where should you break out from, and where should you go? If you want to cross the river, how should you cross the river, and what should you do in the future?"

Only then did Zhang Shenyan forcefully stand up and said, "Now that you are surrounded on three sides, in my opinion, it may not be."

"Although the officers and soldiers have occupied Tianjing Pass, Shunwangping Camp, Huaiqing Mansion and other places, there is still one place that has not yet been encircled. This place is Nayuanqu County. Although Zhang Yingchang, the commander-in-chief, has stationed troops in Pingyang, for some reason, he has not been able to go east in time. Come, occupy Yuanqu, our army will have room to maneuver."

"If the general is going to break out of the siege, he should make a decision immediately, lead the army west out of Yuanqu, and repel Zhang Yingchang, and he will be able to escape!"

Xiao Qinhu frowned when he heard the words, and reminded: "Siege three gates and one, the art of war is common. As a hunter, I hunt tigers and leopards, and I often hunt tigers and leopards like this. My lord, don't be careless!"

Zhang Shun frowned when he heard the words, knowing what they meant.If the rebel army is about to break out, this roundabout is the last breakthrough, and of course it is also likely to be a trap. What is going on, there is not enough information, and it depends on whether you dare to bet on thousands of lives!

Zhang Shun couldn't make a decision, so he could only continue to ask: "If we want to cross the river, what should we do?"

The generals scratched their heads when they heard the words, and racked their brains to think.Unexpectedly, at this time Zhao Yutou saw that everyone was silent, so he stood up and said: "My lord, I am a boatman of the Yellow River, and I know a little bit. I will just say my humble opinion, and if I say something bad, please don't joke!"

He is the fourth "conglong" person after Song Xiance, Chen Jindou and Wukong. How can others dare to laugh at him?

It's just that after he joined Zhang Shun, as more and more capable people joined in, he seldom participated in this military and political affairs.

Zhang Shun respected him quite a bit and quickly asked him to sit down and talk.Then Zhao Yutou sat down with a slanted sign, and said: "The lord has been busy with things recently, and there are too many troubles on his mind, so he must not have thought of that 'river god' Huang Shoucai."

"Before I heard that the lord asked him to send the 'Yellow River Stone', and he paid five thousand taels of silver. How could he dare to accept so many taels of silver for a broken stone? Originally, the lord wanted him to help buy grain and grass, but he didn't buy it either. Come here, just to help Li Baihu transport it."

"I know that this person is not greedy for money, but also the most loyal person. Now that he has benefited from the lord, he will definitely pay back with his own life."

"My grandson grew up in the Yellow River since he was a child. He soaked in the water like a fish. My lord can send him to swim across the river at night to find Huang Shoucai. This man has unparalleled prestige among the boatmen, and he will definitely be able to summon him. Come many boats to help the lord cross the river!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help applauding when he heard this, and quickly asked: "It's just that, so didn't Huang Shoucai commit a damn crime and implicate the whole family?"

"The lord is benevolent and righteous, even in a dangerous situation, he still does not forget the safety of others!" Zhao Yutou took the opportunity to flatter him, and continued, "It's just that Huang Shoucai is a bachelor, so what are you afraid of getting involved?"

"What's more, since he used my lord's five thousand taels of silver, how can it be for nothing? I heard that the redemption money for famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River is only one or two thousand taels. How can he, 'Huang Shoucai', be worth more than famous prostitutes? "

"I saw my lord before and wanted to recruit this person. Wouldn't it be better to just cut off his way back this time?"

Zhang Shun heard that everyone had no other opinions, so he made a decision and said: "So, we will use this strategy of crossing the river. What do you think?"

Seeing that everyone had run out of words, Song Xiance smiled and said, "Just now I heard Mr. Zhao say 'Yellow River Stone', but it was a plan of his own accord."

"Nowadays, the rebels are losing streak, and people are in panic. The matter of crossing the river should be kept secret and not publicized, otherwise I am afraid that the 'river god' Huang Shoucai will be trapped by the government, and the matter will not help. But the rest of the foolish people don't know, if they are poor, they will change, and it will be a waste of the Lord A lot of painstaking efforts. If it’s not like tomorrow, the lord will ask someone to return the 'Yellow River Stone' to the river god and sacrifice it to reassure everyone."

Zhang Shun heard it deeply, and found out the next day that the officers and soldiers still had no signs of a large-scale attack.With great fanfare, he ordered his soldiers to take the "Yellow River Sacred Stone" with oxen and horses and send it to the river god.

Although the other leaders of the rebel army looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't know what happened, and they didn't know why, so they had no choice but to reluctantly follow.

At that time, the wind was cold and the Yellow River was surging.The Yellow River is worthy of being the second largest river in China. At this time, the water of the river is far from being comparable to that of later generations who have been irrigated with a lot of water and often cut off.

And this sacrifice to the God of the Yellow River has been included in the "Sidu" sacrifice since the Zhou Dynasty.Even if later generations enter the era of materialism, without official sacrifices, the Yellow River is still an important symbol of the spirit of the Chinese nation.

Zhang Shun's literary talent is not good, and he barely wrote a few sentences, but they are all unsightly.He had no choice but to ask Li Xiang and Liu Rushi to help polish it for a long time before he managed to get together a piece of sacrificial oration.

The text said: Kunlun stands erect, and the river is like a river;

Lingzhong Kande, Gong matches Kunyuan.

All things benefit from irrigation and suffer from flooding.

I was ordered by the sky, and I got this sacred stone to show my destiny!
Now it is difficult and blocked by the river.

Return this stone, only you know.

Prepare sacrifices to overcome this catastrophe!
It probably means: the Kunlun Mountains soar into the sky, and the Yellow River winds on the ground like a white line.He is born with the virtue of water, but his achievements are worthy of the virtue of earth.All things receive the benefits of his watering, and suffer the evil results of his flooding.

Now I am ordered by heaven, and God specially gave me this sacred stone to show my destiny.Now I am in trouble, blocked by your river.I purposely return this sacred stone to you to let you know where my destiny lies.I specially prepared three sacrifices, and I hope you can help me survive this catastrophe.

After speaking, Zhang Shun ordered his soldiers to throw the "Yellow River Sacred Stone" and three animals into the river.All these items were swallowed by the rolling Yellow River, so the sacrifice was over.

Many of Zhang Shun's soldiers were originally from Mengjin Zhouzi, and they believed in the River God.They have heard about Zhang Shun's destiny many times, and they feel at ease when they see this.

Most of the rest of the rebels were located in Yansui, on the south bank of the Yellow River, and they had heard a lot about their belief in "Hedu", and most of them believed it to some extent.

It's just that the leaders of the rest of the rebel army are not foolish women, so they don't believe it.They just looked at Zhang Shun suspiciously, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, I have made a plan, just wait for a few days. Within three days, I will definitely have a way to help you cross this river!"

 Thank you fans for the big rewards of "People who go to the distance" "There would be no Zhongxia without Ji Zhou and Liu Han", and thank you fans for the rewards of "Shadows in the Dark Night Watching Silently", thank you for your support!

  Chapter 3 may not be finished today, it depends on the situation!
