Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 437
The world's rainiest, India's Zirapunji!It doesn’t rain for a few days in 360 days a year, but it’s not that Mr. Xiao, the god of rain, favors this place, but that this place is unlucky because it is directly opposite to the Himalayas where the warm air from the Indian Ocean blows towards the Himalayas!

The water-vapor-rich warm air was blocked by the towering Himalayas, unable to get through, it could only roll and sink, and then fell on the head of Cherrapunji.

The current situation in the Liaoxi Corridor is similar. The Yanshan Mountains are indeed not as towering as the Himalayas in South Vietnam, but they are still mountains after all, and the years are generally good, but now they are in the ice age. The surging air flow pushed a larger amount of ocean low-pressure water vapor to the land than in previous years. Part of the heavy and humid low-pressure air flow was blocked by Yanshan Mountain and turned into a patter of spring rain, which happened to fall on Cao Zong's army. on the head.

The West Liao Corridor, which is located outside the Great Wall, still maintains a grassland ecology. The grass grows year after year and rots year after year. The soft humus soil is soaked in water again, forming this wind that can pass and pass you. A muddy pond that cannot be crossed.

Not only now, but also during the war between Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations, it is often seen in history books that heavy rains and mud made soldiers and horses unable to pass, but at that time, the western Liaoning had been transformed from grasslands to farmland and roads, and the ground was tight. Quite a few, and there are water conservancy facilities such as farmland drainage ditches, which are not as serious as they are now.

Compared with other nomadic peoples, the Wuhuan people have this inherent weakness, that is, the Wuhuan people have cities.

On the one hand, Tadun robbed himself, and on the other hand, he was supported by Yuan Shao in exchange for the support of his brave Wuhuan cavalry. In addition, the remnants of soldiers and civilians who fled here from Eryuan, surrounded Liucheng, which is the later Chaoyang City. A huge nomadic settlement with tens of thousands of households and a population of nearly 20.

A city is impeccable!As long as Liucheng is defeated, the Wuhuan regime that has just risen can only sing coolly.

But it was the trembling of going through the swamp to the Liucheng!

Cao Cao is not impatient, he can wait for a month, two months or even more than half a year, but he must not tolerate waiting without hope, like a mediocre general who is helpless, the rainy season has no tendency to stop until now, Once the narrow grassland in western Liaoning could not be breathed before winter, the army could not bear the severe cold outside the pass, and had to return to the pass, and a year would be wasted!Life is short, how many times has Cao Cao been in a stalemate with the Wuhuan people in a year?

What's more, if the situation is still the same next year, what should we do!
So the difference between a famous general and a mediocre general is revealed in Mr. Cao, that is, to break when you want to!

However, in history, Cao Cao personally led the army, leaving the Xifengkou and Dushikou of later generations, crossing the Baili Yanshan Mountain, walking the grassland, and rushing to the back of the Wuhuan people for a long distance. This time with Wang Hou, he has an extra choose!

"Ship..., the ship transported 20 troops across the west of Liaoning, and went straight to Liucheng! This..., the risk is too great!"

Wang Hou still didn't escape to work, and was carried back to the conference room. Hearing Cao Cao's proposal with bright eyes, Wang Hou almost bit his tongue and started yelling.

Not only is he pale, but even Guo Jia, Yang Xiu, Xun You and several other think tanks are full of shit. An old face is as suffocated as a pig's liver, and Xun You is the first to shake his head like a wave drum. Watching Cao Cao hold his fists.

"Prime Minister, fire and water are ruthless and the sea is impermanent. From ancient times to the present, I have never heard the story of a large army crossing the sea and attacking the enemy's capital directly. This move is too dangerous. I hope the Prime Minister will think twice!"

"Prime Minister, the Qingzhou navy doesn't have that much capacity, so they can transport all 20 troops in one go! And what Mr. Gongda said is right, the sea is impermanent, and it is not impossible for the ship to be destroyed and people killed in a storm. It's about the country, I hope the prime minister will think twice!"

It's rare that Xun You and Wang Hou can talk together. However, Cao Cao, who has already made up his mind and then moves, is by no means a character like Yuan Shao whose ears are softened when the counselors talk about it. He held his big sleeves and looked at Wang Hou. The thick-headed melon seed was sweating, he said with a dark face and a cold snort.

"Since the sea is so dangerous and unpredictable, how can you, Wang Tuqiu, carry your soldiers and horses from Qingzhou across the sea on a boat and transport millions of grains to Liaodong? You have the courage to cross the sea to attack Wu and rob Sun Quan's son, but when you come to the truth There are so many difficulties, why do you feel that the truth is not as good as you?"

"Forehead……"

Wang Hou was stuck there on the spot by the chrysanthemum, choking so much that he rolled his eyes like swallowing a duck egg.

He easily dealt with his cheap son-in-law, but Cao Cao didn't answer Xun You's words. Instead, he turned to Tian Yu, a new general from Youzhou who had not yet had the right to speak. Cao Cao's voice here was a little more serious, extremely asked solemnly.

"Guorang, if we take the old Han Dynasty route of Chaobai River, how long will it take to cross the Xianbei territory and reach Liaodong, and how risky is it compared to the sea route?"

"Eh..., this!"

Who can estimate this, his head turned for a while, Tian Yu stumbled, his old face was as constipated, and he calculated it with difficulty.

"Crossing mountains and ridges is no better than Ping Road. Returning from Jieshi, crossing Dushikou and going northward, traveling hundreds of miles, with an army of [-], it will take at least about ten months! As for the risk, I have never traveled by sea, so I really don't know! But the army is lightly packed. Jian Xing, the Xianbei may be attacked at any time on the grassland, this road is indeed extremely dangerous!"

"Where's your kid!"

How did you become a kid from Mr. Short when you come to Lao Tzu?His mouth twisted in his heart, but on his face, Wang Hou still had a sad face, and he clenched his fists in sorrow.

"This time when we went north, we used people as livestock and locked them under the cabin. The subordinates only brought over 3 military horses. However, cavalry is indispensable for fighting the Wuhuan people! If you count the horses, you can only transport them at one time. Fifteen thousand cavalry or ten thousand riders and ten thousand steps!"

"Although it has been cloudy and rainy these days, there have been no strong winds and waves on the sea. It only takes three or four days to sail northward from the sea and travel hundreds of miles. But the difficulty now is that my son-in-law has never been to the area of ​​Liaohe Bay, and there is no definite destination. Sail anchorage, sea ships are not just a small river mouth! If there is no suitable anchorage, the army may return without success!"

"It's fine if you don't encounter a storm. If there is a storm, the wrath of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by manpower. Once the sailboat sinks, it will kill everyone!"

"Four days! Twenty thousand!"

Cao Cao held his beard and chewed the two words. Seeing that he only mentioned the sea route and didn't mention anything about the land route, Wang Hou couldn't help clasping his fists again with a guilty conscience.

"Prime Minister, the sea route is dangerous, and my son-in-law was the first to mention it. If you insist on taking the sea route, if there is any mistake, you can't blame your son-in-law!"

Hearing this, not to mention Xun You, Yang Xiu couldn't help snorting in disdain, even Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, Wang Hou is still too young, for a subordinate, he won't say anything about defeat for the sake of war, even There is no such responsibility, why does the lord use you?

Mr. Cao himself was so angry that his cheeks swelled. Seeing his hopeless appearance, he put his index finger and middle finger together and viciously pointed at his nose, and yelled furiously.

"You are the general of the sea route. If there is an accident on the sea route, if the old man doesn't take you as a question, who will he blame? If there is a mistake in the sea line, the old man will take off your Wang Tuqiu's head and throw it into the water to see how many noises you can make!"

"Forehead……"

Old guy, aren't you unreasonable?It's not what I said to go by water!His mouth was bitter, and he bowed heavily with his fists in his arms. Wang Hou wanted to talk nonsense again to try to fool Mr. Cao, but before he could say anything, Cao Cao's next words made his pupils unable to hold back. Zooming in, even breathing became a bit short of breath!
