Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

The Yellow River at this moment is generally quite clear. Because the sediment accumulation was not serious, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, although there were gaps in the Yellow River, they were not that serious.

The only time it was serious enough to change course was during the Wang Mang period. The Yellow River surged out of its mouth, forcing itself out of a new river valley. Nearly a million people were affected by its diversion.

Otherwise, the Yellow River has never been so violent. Even if there is a denunciation, it will not affect a large area.

But even so, Ma Su could see some clues from the flow of the river at this moment.

"The water of this river is much turbid compared to the big river." Ma Su suddenly said after taking a large amount of the rolling Yellow River water from the window of the carriage.

Ma Di spoke, and an attendant from Qingzhou responded quickly.

"General, I don't know what the river in the south is like, but the water in this river is indeed much turbid compared to other rivers. It is said that it is due to the sediment brought down from the upstream."

"Has the river water always been like this?" Ma Di narrowed his eyes and asked.

However, the attendant shook his head and answered honestly,

"That's not the case. Xian Kao once said that the water in this river has changed significantly compared to decades ago... but it has become a bit clearer in the past two years. I don't know why."

"I see..." Ma Su nodded slightly, and then his brows gradually wrinkled.

Ma Di also came all the way from the upper reaches of the Yellow River. He had seen what the water of the Yellow River was like in Guanzhong. The level of clarity is far beyond what can be compared downstream.

It seems that the Loess Plateau has begun to take effect now...

"This big river will definitely become a disaster with frequent floods in a few hundred years." Ma Su finally commented, but this sentence almost scared the attendant who was born in Qingzhou to death.

"General, please don't scare us..." As a native of Qingzhou, the attendant was startled.

People who live next to the Yellow River are well aware of the crisis of this river. Throughout the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River was not drained several times, but each time it was a large-scale disaster, which has frightened the locals.

If floods occur more frequently in the future, the local people will not be able to survive.

"It's probably not wrong..." Ma Di shook his head gently and said in a deep voice.

"From now on, we will have to deal with this big river all the time. Everything must be prepared in advance, otherwise it will be the future generations who will be tortured!"

Having said this, Ma Su was also thinking about how to deal with this matter.

If he were reborn in the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely have a big enough stage to perform. But this is the Han Dynasty, and even if he knew how to control water, he wouldn't be able to use it now.

Whether it is to build a dike with sand or to use water to attack the sand, it is not something that the Yellow River can use now. What's more, these are major overall projects, and Ji Han simply does not have the national power to implement them.

What Ma Di can do now is probably to write down some important knowledge about water control in advance.

"Okay, let's continue to investigate the conditions of this section of the river. I'd better know more about the situation of the river. If we can nip the problem in the bud, it's better than turning the tide before it collapses."

After Ma Su observed and observed repeatedly, he immediately called his attendants to help him mount his horse and observed it in person along the river. The helpless Qingzhou attendants obeyed the order without hesitation, and just protected Ma Su as he mounted his horse.

It wasn't until they had traveled dozens of miles that the guards felt something was wrong.

Hey, why did the general mount his horse again?

"So, Ma Su is riding a horse and leading people along the river to inspect our army's shore defense?"

Sima Division, who had surrounded and suppressed the last remnants of Cao Shuang's troops in Qinghe County, suddenly received such shocking news.

Ji Han started construction on a large scale, and it was obvious that Cao Wei could not ignore it. A large number of spies were scattered along the river, constantly spying on Ji Han's movements across the river.

Such a peek gave them bad news. The Great Demon King Ma Su did not come to the front line in person at all. Instead, he rode his horse and led people along the river to observe, and he observed extremely carefully.

This frightened the Wei army on the north bank, and they quickly flew to report to Sima Division.

When Master Sima received the news, his heart suddenly tightened. After all, looking at this posture, Ma Su was spying on Wei Jun's defense.

Fortunately, there has been no fighting with Ji Han across the river for two years. Now suddenly Ma Su came to spy in person. Isn't this signal obvious enough?

Ma Su is planning to take action against Hebei!

Sima Division, who suddenly became nervous, could only redeploy his troops to guard against the Shu army. In order to ensure stability, Sima Shi mobilized another 20,000 troops to support Cangting to prevent Ma Su from crossing the river to fight on a whim.

And with this, Sima Division's troops to encircle and suppress Cao Shuang were stretched again...

"Xishu is really despicable! They are dispatched at such a critical time every time!" Master Sima's face became a little gloomy, and he felt a little more aggrieved.

Three times! Three times!

Every time he pushed Cao Shuang into a desperate situation and was about to kill him, Xi Shu suddenly took action. Every opportunity was lost in vain, leaving Sima Shi in a stalemate for two and a half years, unable to completely defeat Cao Shuang.

Even though Cao Shuang himself had died in an assassination attempt at the beginning of the year. However, the remnants of his army were not leaderless. His younger brother Xia Houxuan still resisted completely, causing Sima Shi to continue to suppress him.

I don’t know why this group of people had such a strong will to resist. They even killed Sima Shi’s messengers who tried to persuade him to surrender many times.

But besides being angry, Master Sima also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He had too little power at his disposal, and the gap was too big compared to the Han army. Even if he tried his best to make up for the gap, it was useless.

If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before their family was wiped out by Ma Su.

"How is Yecheng... Didn't Zhao cause any big trouble?" Sima Shi rubbed his temple with a headache and asked his confidant.

"General, the Taifu has stabilized the court very well. At the beginning of the year, he perfectly suppressed a riot, and the whole Yecheng is as stable as Mount Tai!"

The confidant replied, but the answer did not make Sima Shi feel at ease.

Sima Shi knew what his younger brother was like. Although he had a certain amount of political wisdom, it was definitely not superb.

Now that he suddenly became so reassuring, it was probably because of the guidance of an expert. But it has come to this point... Is this expert really reliable?

Sima Shi recalled the young man named Zhong he had met before, and his brows furrowed.

"Zhong Hui, the youngest son of Zhong Yao..." Sima Shi frowned and said after a moment's silence.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him. This guy's position is not that stable. We must be on guard against him!"

"Yes!"
