Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 434

If the time is unsatisfactory, nine out of ten, they have just left the customs, and the battle has not been fought yet!Encountered a big problem first!

In human nature, spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the pattering but fine and long rain at least ensures sufficient moisture for the crops to germinate, which indicates a good sign for a good harvest this year.

But for the army going out of the fortress, this is not a good sign!A question that had never been thought of before was suddenly placed in front of Cao Jun following the long spring rain like a lover's lovesickness.

puff~

It was also like a paddy field where the soldiers in front stepped in, and the soaked mud fully soaked into the calves, as if stuck in ointment. It was extremely strenuous, and he bared his teeth and pulled it out with all his strength. The legs are pulled out again.

The roads in the Central Plains extend in all directions, and the land has been developed and consolidated. It has been trampled very firmly, but beyond the Great Wall?The north of Lulong is already sparsely populated and desolate. The plain from the west of Liaohe to the Liaohe River is almost all pastures for nomads, and no one has cleaned up the roads. The winter snow has melted, and the spring rain is so long. The hundreds of miles to the north are covered with green grass, which looks beautiful, but when a stone is thrown in the past, it sinks with a splash of mud and flowers.

This is no good!

The light rain sprinkled on the shoulders, and the thick beard on his face was dripping with water. His face was gloomy like the weather. With a muffled grunt, Cao Cao ordered in a dull voice.

"Go back to the village!"

…………

The bridgehead built by Wang Hou really came in handy. Cao Cao’s headquarters was set up here first, and he could not move forward. The place he chose was relatively dry. He set up a camp high on the coast, and more than two hundred thousand troops also relied on it The camp was placed under the wall of the village, the senior generals and nobles set up tents, and the poor soldiers used the luggage and quilts they brought to support a shack with wooden sticks, and shrank below to hide from the rain.

The continuous spring rain was depressing. Just now, when he left the customs in high spirits, he was stagnated by the rain, and the morale of Cao Jun obviously began to drop.

"The last general is ineffective in investigation, please punish the prime minister!"

The wood is densely inlaid together and covered with thick thatch. The wooden building Wang Hou built behind the village is watertight, but this comfort obviously cannot reduce Cao Cao's anxiety as he stares at the spring rain falling down the eaves. Seeing him come back from the front line, Zhang Liao kept a gloomy face and said nothing. Zhang Liao had the courage to take responsibility, so he clasped his fists and apologized.

But people are more popular than people, Wang Hou was not greedy for food back then!Boss Cao also found an excuse to let him take the blame, but now Zhang Liao really has something to do with it, but Cao Cao took the initiative to help him out, flicking his sleeves lightly at him, and said indifferently.

"Wenyuan is innocent! When you came here, it was freezing cold and the earth was solid. You don't know what will happen after vernalization! Get up!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

However, Zhang Liao's opening up of this chatter box eased the dull atmosphere in the headquarters. Mr. Cao finally got back to the topic, no longer looking at the sky with his hands behind his back in depression, but hurried back to the wooden table built by Wang Hou. Spread out the largest marching map.

"Everyone, now the road ahead is muddy and difficult to walk, the army is trapped in Jieshi, the centipedes of the Yuan family are dead but not stiff, there are eyeliners in Youzhou, the truth is going out, Wuhuan must also know, from Liaoxi County directly to Liucheng, it has already started It doesn't make sense, everyone thinks, the next step is how to move forward!"

Looking at the map, Guo Jia, Xun You, Liu Ye, Lu Qian and other resourceful people couldn't help frowning.

This terrain is too difficult!
There is another name for the later generations of Liaoxi, called the Liaoxi Corridor!This name is not called for nothing!The terrain is so extreme, from the inside of the pass to the northeast, it is just a long and narrow coastal plain, to the east is the Bohai Sea, to the west is the extremely rugged Yanshan Mountains, and there is no way to go left and right.

With such a long and narrow corridor terrain, I was stunned back then. The powerful Houjin Eight Banners bandit group had no temper. The old slave was kicked out by Yuan Chonghuan under the city of Ningyuan, and he kicked his legs within a few months after returning. The braids are raised, and Huang Taiji, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, was trapped in this corridor several times. Even if he finally won the Songjin War, the last main force of the 13 Ming army was lost here by the red-eyed gambler Emperor Chongzhen. There was only one pass left in Guan Ningjin's line of defense. Throughout his life, he failed to enter the pass from the Liaoxi Corridor in an upright manner.

Although it is the opposite direction now, Cao always wants to lead his army to go out of the pass, pull out Liucheng, Wuhuan's settlement by the Liao River, and completely destroy the last military force of the Yuan family, but the situation encountered is similar to that of the Eight Banners.

The muddy swamp is more difficult to walk than the snow, and it takes more effort. Even if Cao Jun forcibly crosses it, the Wuhuan people gather tens of thousands of people and wait for work on the side of the Liaohe Plain. Can't even run away.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you have lived in the frontier fortress for a long time, when will the spring rain stop?"

After pinching the goatee on his chin and thinking for a long time, Guo Jia actually hugged the new face Wang Hou didn't know in the counselor group.

Following Guo Jia and turning his attention away, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly. Days passed, not to mention IQ. In Cao's formation, the counselors came in one handsome one. In terms of handsomeness, Yang Xiu He is the most handsome person in the entire group of Cao Wei counselors. This new counselor surnamed Tian is not less handsome than him, with a neat beard and hair, and tough lines on his face. Tian counselor's temperament is even tougher than Yang Xiu, a small boy .

Also pinching the beard on his chin and thinking for a while, the counselor surnamed Tian said in a deep voice.

"In previous years, it took at least half a month for the spring rain to fall, and it ended in about half a month, but this year, the spring rain came earlier. This year, the rain is abnormal. Tian really doesn't know how long it will last!"

But after saying this, the tough and stylish counselor surnamed Tian seemed to hesitate for a while, and he swallowed the words again.

Hearing his toughness, no matter Cao Cao or Guo Jia, they all showed disappointment.After shaking his head helplessly, Xun You clasped his fists in a gloomy begging.

"Prime Minister, it's for the sake of the army! My subordinates think that it's better to wait until the rain stops and the land is dry before sending out troops!"

In normal history, this wait would have been half a year. The rain in [-] AD was exceptionally abundant, and it was delayed until July. It was really impossible. Cao Cao, who was threatened with withdrawing troops, made a dangerous move and went around behind Wuhuan to force attack.

But this time, there is an extra Wang Hou, the words that the counselor surnamed Tian swallowed, he let go of his mouth and then bald.

"Prime Minister, I heard that there is a road from Lulong along the Chaohe River, across Gubeikou, all the way north, across Yanshan Mountain, on the grassland of Saibei in Xianbei, and then turning westward, you can go straight to Liaodong!"

"How did you know!"

Wang Hou was looking at the rough map, and mentioned it casually, but this sentence seemed to have stepped on the life of the counselor surnamed Tian, ​​which made his eyes go round in amazement. , but the attention of Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others were all sharpened in an instant.

The tone was a bit urgent, his beard trembled, and when he turned around, Cao Cao asked excitedly and hastily.

"Mr. Guorang, is there really such a way?"
