Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 9 Tongtai
Controlling the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and influencing the entire Chinese land, such a thing is still too far away for He Bo at the moment.

at the moment,

He did not even take control of all the branches of the Zhang River, let alone the Yellow River, the mother river known for its "sensitivity, suspicion, restlessness and de-urbanization".

However, being able to refresh the new progress bar also gave He Bo a new goal -

If the entire Zhang River basin, regardless of its main trunk or branches, were owned by it, would it be able to rely on the power of the entire basin to squeeze into the mighty torrent of the Yellow River?

If all else fails, you can go to Fajiu Mountain and give it a try!
Up the mountain and down the river,

These are all He Bo’s future goals!
He Bo placed his consciousness in the Tongdi Water, intending to complete the progress of the western source of the Zhang River first, and fantasized about the future while letting his consciousness drift with the flow of the Tongdi Water.

The difference from before is that since the downstream Zhang River is now under the control of He Bo, with unimpeded entry and exit, He Bo still has to be careful not to be washed into the main channel of the Zhang River, otherwise, once he is out of the range of Tongdi Water, his progress will be halted.

The Tongdi Water side is also quite lively.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ping of Jin built the Tongdi Palace on Tongdi Mountain, which later became the site of the Jin State's imperial palace.

During the Jin State period, the Tongdi area became the political, economic, cultural and military center of the eastern part of the Jin State.

After the division of Jin State, it became part of Shangdang County of Han State.

South Korea will naturally not ignore the role of this land with a profound historical heritage.

In order to consolidate the rule of the new Kingdom of Han, King Han Qian repaired the Tongdi Town which was destroyed due to the change of regime, expanded the city, and stationed troops for defense.

After all, a little further north past Tongdi is the territory of Zhao State.

As a river that runs through the three states of Zhao, Wei and Han, He Bo can only say "it has nothing to do with me".

After all, they separated.
The Zhang River is not divided.

Moreover, he drifted day and night, back and forth between Tongdi of Han State and Xiangyuan of Zhao State. The distance was not long. In fact, because they were not far from each other, one was upstream and the other was downstream, the customs of the villagers had not changed much.

As long as war does not break out suddenly between Zhao and Han, it makes no difference to He Bo.

……

"If we use the spring water, can we enter the mountain?"

Just as He Bo was waiting for the progress bar to slowly load, he suddenly remembered something.

The source of Tongdi Water comes from the confluence of multiple springs emerging from Tongdi Mountain. The springs and the mountain are integrated, and there are water veins underground.

Once the Tongdi Water is obtained, how can the mountains and rivers be distinguished?

When he went to trace the source of the river on Fajiu Mountain, he felt the squeeze as soon as he left the river area.

However, Tongdi Mountain has many springs and is not as tall and majestic as Fajiu Mountain, so perhaps there will be some differences.

He Bo was secretly pondering the idea of using the mountain spring to sneak into Tongdi Mountain, and he was eager to try it out.

After all, although there are many rivers in the world and their basins are extensive, there are still some barriers between the major water systems in China.

For example, the Yellow River system and the Yangtze River system do not have any intersection in natural geography, and Emperor Yang Guang, who dared to risk his entire family to build the Grand Canal, was still unknown at this time. Therefore, He Bo's previous idea of controlling the rivers was ultimately a castle in the air and a rootless duckweed, which was truly a product of He Bo's self-entertainment.

But if he succeeds in "going up the mountain" and gains control of the authority of the mountain god, then He Bo's dream may come true one day!
After all, there are so many mountains and rivers in China, which are connected to each other to form a network.

If there is no way to get through the river, then just roll down the mountain road!
Moreover, most rivers originate from high mountains and steep hills.

At the moment, He Bo cannot go to the Yellow River, and it is even more impossible to rely on the Yellow River to go to its other tributaries.

After all, He Bo's power is too small compared to that of the Yellow River. As long as he has any "evil intentions", the mother river's slap of love will fall on his face and make him dizzy.

But if we go through the mountains and go to different river basins, there will be great potential!

For example, Fajiu Mountain, the southern source of the Zhuozhang River, is actually the source of another big river, the Dan River!

The two rivers flow along the sides of the mountain and finally merge into the Yellow River.

It was a pity that the southern source of the Zhuozhang River and the Danshui River did not meet at this time. Even for humans, the two rivers were very close in the area of Fajiu Mountain and could be reached by crossing a mountain. He Bo could only look at the Danshui River but could not reach it. The Danshui River was a branch of the Qin River, another large branch of the Yellow River.

He Bo thought to himself that relying on the power of the Zhang River alone to control the Yellow River was like a small snake trying to swallow an elephant. It was just a foolish dream.

What if we gather the power of multiple branches and work together?

corresponding,
This way,
Can it be used for the “part-time” job as a mountain god?

You should know that both the Zhangshui River and the Danshui River actually originate from the large mountain range of Taihang Mountains.

Fajiu Mountain and Tongdi Mountain are to Taihang as Zhangshui is to the Yellow River, they are branches separated from it.

Taking this as a starting point and slowly nibbling away at it is not something that can be done easily.

The more He Bo thought about it, the more excited he became!

unfortunately,

He has not yet made enough progress to fill up the Tongdi water, so even though he has a nice idea in mind, he has no way to take action.

However, compared with the previous tragic experience of drifting in the Zhang River and being unable to control oneself for two or three years, the progress on the Tongdi River was much faster.

Maybe practice makes perfect.
It is also possible that the Zhangshui River has a natural assimilation advantage over its own tributary rivers.

He Bo stared at the progress bar every day and found that compared with Zhangshui, the loading speed was about three to four times faster.

At this efficiency, perhaps by the end of the year he would be able to completely take control of the Tongdi River, one of the sources of the Zhang River.

Other than that,

The yellow bar representing magic did not disappear. On the Tongdi Water side, He Bo could still use magic, but the speed at which the yellow bar descended would be much faster than in the main channel of Zhang River.

The dream-telling technique and the illusion-making technique, which had been quickly maxed out by He Bo, were also weakened.

After the leather case was brought ashore, the resistance it encountered was increased. In addition, there were high mountains at the source of the river, adding another layer of repulsion. As a result, He Bo would feel "lack of oxygen" as long as he moved away from the Tongdi water area.

“Maybe this is why the county magistrate is not as good as the current one?”

He Bo simply gave up the idea of going to the nearby Tongdi Palace to appreciate the scenic spots and historical sites. He transformed into his own leather suit and squatted by the water, pinching water plants to feed the fish.

Ah!
Since he will definitely be the master of Tongdi River in the future, the fish in this river are all aquatic creatures under his jurisdiction.

As the great He Bo, feeding the fish can be considered as promoting emotional communication between the ruler and the people!
Not long after, a girl came to fetch water.

The girl saw someone squatting by the river catching fish from afar, and she couldn't help but shout to He Bo, "Hey!"

“You won’t catch any fish like this!”

He Bo looked back and found that the man was not very old, wearing simple and worn linen clothes, and he looked... not very good-looking either.

Girls in later generations, not only do all of them know how to put on makeup and beautify their faces, but those with advanced skills have even reached the point where it is difficult to tell the difference between a pretty girl and a pretty girl.

But in any case, with the living conditions in future generations, most people will have the conditions to consume enough nutrients needed by the human body, and they will basically consume excess and do not have to engage in heavy physical labor, so foods like konjac, which are ugly, poisonous, and have no nutrition, are eaten to "lose weight."

As for the living standards during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, He Bo could only say that some ordinary families could still eat meat, all because there were not many people at the time and there were still many wild animals running around, and if they went into the mountains, they might be able to find something.

therefore,

Apart from being young and having a somewhat naive and gentle appearance, the girl did not allow He Bo to enjoy the legendary treatment of "the protagonist meeting an extremely beautiful woman as soon as he goes out".

There were even other people following the girl.

Several middle-aged women came running over in a hurry, shouting, "Hua, why are you running so fast?"

"If your shoes get worn out, you have to buy new ones with money!"
