Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 355 The Loyal Minister of the Han Dynasty, Advisor Cao
缅寨
A lime splattered between straw sheds.

An old man was clamping a lot of shovels in the crevices of the rocks, using a hammer to lightly tap the iron handles.

"May I ask who is Consultant Cao?"

"Click"

A piece of jade that was hugged by one person shattered directly.

Fall towards both sides.

A burly man with sharp hands and quick eyes quickly reached out and hugged him.

"Dianman, you did a great job." Beside him, a somewhat refined scribe smiled.

Then an old man came over, "Dare to ask the superior what is your business?"

"According to the order of General Nanda, let Advisor Cao go to the front line to discuss matters."

"General Zhengnan, what's your last name?" The old man who was washing the cutting surface with water asked casually.

"It's General Xu Huang."

"Xu Gongming?" The middle-aged scribe standing next to him was slightly shocked, "Xu Huang has already become a general?"

"Xu Huang, with Zhou Yafu's bravery, and being a good general of the five sons in the north in the past, it is only natural to conquer the general of the south." The old man said casually.

"Bo Ning, please go for me. Since Xu Huang is looking for me, he is in trouble."

"Aren't you going?" Man Chong said hesitantly.

"What am I going to?"

"The more than 20 jade mines here are all managed by the old man. If the old man loses his hands for a day, these little ones will make mistakes."

"Anyway, you know the old man's art of war."

"Let Dianman protect you, and no one can disturb you."

"If Dianman leaves, there will be no one to guard your place. I'll go by myself. There will be postmen and generals guarding labor along the way. I'm fine."

"Alright."

Man Chong walked out of the hut, got on his horse, and just ran a few steps when he heard voices coming from inside the hut.

"Go and don't come back."

"drive"

Man Chong gritted his teeth and continued to gallop.

He didn't dare to stop, otherwise he would be reluctant to leave.

My lord means to let myself follow Liu Feng, be loyal to the great man, and be an official honestly.

But he was full of love and went south, chasing Cao Cao for thousands of miles, just to accompany him to die of old age...

"Lord."

He lowered his body, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and dripped on the mane of the horse's head. The war horse shook its head from time to time in response to him.

On the border of Yunzhou, in a small town in the east of Benavardanna Country.

Xu Huang waited until Man Chong arrived here, it was already ten days later.

"General Gongming, it's been a long time."

"I thought I could wait for Mr. Cao, but I never thought that it was you, Man Boning, who were waiting."

"I still have the official position of General Pingxi, how can such a big battle not come."

Seeing Man Chong with a smile on his face, Xu Huang invited him into the tent. Xu Huang lowered his voice as he walked around.

"Duke Cao forced you to come."

Man Chong smiled wryly, "I really can't hide it from you."

"Then it looks like Mr. Cao thinks that you, Man Boning, can solve this general's confusion?"

"Willing to try."

Xu Huang brought him to the sand table.

"Bo Ning, look, our secret guards reported that after the annihilation of the three kingdoms in southern Yunnan, the three kingdoms in the west had secretly surrendered to the Magadha Kingdom. Now the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, with a strength of no less than 30, have been hoarding The border is just above the ridge defense line thirty miles west of our army."

"If our army attacks by force, the frontal soldiers will only have 23 troops, [-] sailors, and [-] barbarians. At this moment, they are attacking six small countries in the north of Asanyang. The force is not superior, and the location is also on the other side's side. Our army is fighting in the jungle, and we don’t have siege equipment, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to push forward.”

"I heard that General Zhang Liao has entered Tibet?"

"good."

"Then why not wait for General Zhang Liao to capture all the ministries on the plateau, and lead his army from the plateau to the south, cross the snow-capped mountains, and join forces with the general to defeat the enemy together?"

"The terrain of the plateau is steep, and the environment of the snow-capped mountains is harsh."

"Your Majesty once said that Zhang Liao led the army to attack from the plateau and bypass the battle of the snow-capped mountains. It can only be used in the decisive battle with the Guishuang Empire."

"So Zhang Wenyuan cannot be mobilized in this battle, and it may take half a year for him to destroy Tang Jing and Fa Qiang on the plateau. After all, our army has no foundation on the plateau."

Xu Huang pointed to the west, "Fa Xiaozhi, who is still coming from Yizhou, suggested that our army wait to advance to the western mountains and forests, and then compete with the enemy."

"It's a pity that I have sent General Wu Ban to the rear just now, only to find out that because of the exchange of labor, the nearby mountains and forests, and the nearest road are all eighty miles away. I want to repair here. At least until early December."

"There's still half a month left."

"Our army consumes too much food and grass, and it can't last for so long."

"What's more, even if the Chi Road is built here, it is still [-] miles away from the enemy's barrier. If it is laid another [-] miles forward, the enemy will inevitably come out of the barrier and attack. In this way, it is extremely difficult for our army to cross, but it will be dragged behind. Here."

Man Chong squinted his eyes, "Since there are no reinforcements and the roads cannot be paved, the land will be lost. In this way, has General Gong Ming ever thought about storming the enemy's barrier?"

"Of course I have thought about it, but the enemy's barriers are built on a slope 200 meters high at the lowest. If you want to send troops to attack, you may suffer heavy casualties. What's more, we are far away from the Central Plains, but the enemy is on the edge of the country. They can attack at any time. Deploy 20 reinforcements, and our army... probably has no reinforcements."

Man Chong walked on the edge of the sand table, and moved one hand along the winding mountain path to the Nanman mountain forest.

"Those interchanging countries are strong, a total of 70 million, how far have they traveled?"

"It's still in Yunzhou, and I just took a ferry from overseas and the south a few days ago."

"How many days will it take to reach the front line?"

"About three to five days." Xu Huang frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of something, "Bo Ning, you and I don't have a transfer order from His Majesty, nor a document jointly issued by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. We can't transfer those laborers, and they are going to Those who serve in Yizhou, if we rashly recruit them...I'm afraid there will be a big mess."

"Not called."

"Our artisan workshop here has produced more than 20 sets of rattan armor, waiting to be sent to the Central Plains for assembly of sailors. It's too slow."

"It's better to directly select soldiers on the spot, and use the pardon as an excuse to recruit the elite among these laborers."

Man Chong's eyes were shining brightly, "I don't know if Gongming has heard of the prisoner army on the battlefield at the end of Qin in the past?"

"Zhang Han's prisoner army?" Xu Huang's face changed slightly, "But... this is disobedience after all, it's too bold."

Man Chong ignored him, but instead looked at the map firmly, "I came here to help you win the victory under the order of Duke Cao. If there are any consequences, I will bear it with all my strength. You are the general Zhengnan. As long as you can win, You can turn your merits into crimes."
