Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 820 Miserable
Road transportation is the first necessary prerequisite for a large-scale expeditionary war. Just like Liu Bang was able to fight Hanzhong, counterattack Guanzhong Sanfu, and then go out to dominate the world. First of all, he relied on the old road near Chencang, and there is a Hanshui that goes directly to Chang'an The tributary, from here, continuously transports the food and material resources of Bashu to support the front line.

The Maozi of later generations were able to unify the vast and wild territory of Siberia, and the Siberian Railway also contributed a lot.

Now the Great Han Empire, no, it should be called the Great Wei Empire, and the basic conditions for conquering the Western Regions have also been achieved at this time!With the experience of building railways that run through the grasslands, the forging experience of various iron and steel factories under Wang Hou’s command has cultivated a full range of experience. Cao Zhangdong went in for political battles for less than half a year, from Didao in the west to Loulan in the east, thousands of kilometers of railways The line is also laid almost.

In the past, there was only one weak water that could be borrowed to cross the Hexi Corridor, and it didn’t flow completely. It disappeared just near Jincheng County. It required pure land transportation for nearly 3000 miles. That’s why the troops deployed by the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions were like this. There were so few, and Qi had to farm in the Lulantai area of ​​Loulan to support Qi.

In the Battle of Tianma, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized 30 infantry to transport food to Dunhuang in order to support the tens of thousands of troops led by General Li Guangli. Tens of thousands of people left the customs, and only a few thousand people returned to Yumen Pass alive. Tens of thousands of Han soldiers defended the majesty of the Han Empire with their lives.

However, the situation has changed now. For the railway to the Western Regions, various chaebol families in Liaodong, the Xianbei herdsmen and old rich who started to rise in Guihua City, and the wealthy families in Kansai are still very interested in investing, because Wang Hou The policy that has been implemented after entering the customs is the east-west business route, and there are indeed many good things in the Western Regions that attract the people of the Central Plains, such as jade from Hotan and wine from Grape Valley in Guojiaohe City before Cheshi.

There is also a large trade. Cotton was originally brought to the Central Plains by Fan merchants from the Western Regions. The Western Regions have a lot of experience in planting cotton over the years. The light conditions here are abundant. When Cao Zhang just occupied Jiaohe City, there were already merchants from Qingzhou nearby who followed suit. In the cotton fields of Qingzhou, Kanerjing was opened to divert water from the sky to irrigate the cotton fields, and in Jiaohe City, cotton has also become a major trade.

However, everything still has to be built on the hegemony of the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Great Wei Dynasty!If the power of the Protectorate's Mansion could not reach Congling, the merchants of the Great Wei Dynasty would not be able to move freely in the Western Regions, so when Cao Zhang rushed back to Jiaohe City by train, his entire Protectorate Mansion of the Western Regions showed a A restless mood came.

On the street, the troops of the Protectorate’s Mansion, which had strict military discipline, deserted. The taverns on the street were completely occupied by them, and the drunk soldiers fought with each other when they had nothing to do. Only when Cao Zhang entered the city , so the conflict will be seen three times.

This made Cao Zhang, who came along, look gloomy as if it was raining.

This time it seems that his precious daughter Chang Le was also involved. Wang Hou naturally followed like a dog skin plaster, but he seemed to be particularly indifferent to the chaos in Jiaohe City, holding his arms upright noncommittal Head, the old god was squinting without saying a word.

"Daxingtai, Jiaohe City is not well managed, I will definitely clean them up when I go back!"

It's really shameless, the handsome face of a dude is rigid like a tough guy, Cao Zhang is rarely serious and apologizes, calling it Wang Hou's official official position, but who knows that Wang Hou didn't even bat an eyelid All of a sudden, he hummed indifferently.

"You are the chief protector of the Western Regions. It is your career to conquer the west and expand the territory. What promise do you make to me?"

His eyes widened uncontrollably, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and Cao Zhang sat back on the carriage seat in a dull manner.

Just passed the middle street, before arriving at the Duhu Mansion in the center of Jiaohe City, a dozen or so cavalry were flying towards them, and the leader was a heroic female general. Seeing the way they blocked, Xu Tu, the driver of the Duhu Mansion who was in charge of driving, raised his whip angrily.

"Do you want to die? Dare to block the car of the chief guard, get out of here... Wait, miss?"

Before he finished yelling and cursing, Xu Tu was already stuck there. When the Liao King scolded the Liao King Wengzhu, who was still the most favored one, he felt a chill down his spine.

Fortunately, Changle didn't care about him at all, especially, this girl didn't even know that her father became the king of Liao and she became the lord!Ignoring his yelling and scolding, she got off the horse directly, and stepped into Cao Zhang's carriage in two hasty steps.

"Uncle!!!"

"Little Dengzi has been arrested! He was injured! Find a way to save him!"

"Presumptuous! You only saw your little uncle, didn't you see your father and me?"

Wang Hou was not happy about this, seeing Chang Le stomping his riding boots at Cao Zhang anxiously as soon as he entered the carriage, he finally lost his composure, and yelled with beard and staring eyes, which made the girl's eyes roll.

But she wasn't afraid of him at all, stomping on her boots again, she shouted anxiously.

"It doesn't matter who! Let Xiao Dengzi out quickly!!!"

"Don't worry, I'll go right away!"

Hearing that the soldiers were lost and the generals were lost, Deng Ai was injured enough to be anxious, but he never expected that Deng Ai would be arrested, and his face was even more gloomy like a storm, Cao Zhang said angrily at the first time.

…………

The guards followed the carriage without going back to the Duhu Mansion first, and went directly to the Duhu Mansion prison located in the east of the city. The prisons in the Western Regions are also particularly distinctive. They have nothing to do with the damp, dark and dark underground buildings in the Central Plains. The earthen room where the raisins are dried is exposed to the scorching hot and dry sunlight alone, and the torment is equally torturous. The lips of the hot people are dry.

At this time, the prison was full, and more than a dozen generals were locked in the prison. Seeing the arrival of Cao Zhang and Wang Hou, the generals who were listlessly waiting in the prison immediately came out excitedly and anxiously. .

"Da Protector! Da..., Daxingtai!!!"

"Where is General Deng being held?"

"The innermost room!"

These people pointed inward again with one voice.

As Chang Le led Cao Zhang and the two rushed into the house, Deng Ai, who was so miserable for the first time, fell into Cao Zhang's eyes. Thick bandages, listening to the uproar, he had already moved down from the bed in astonishment, seeing Wang Hou and Cao Zhang, this little famous general bowed heavily with guilt.

"Criminal Deng Ai has seen Da Xing Tai and the Chief Protector!"

"Deng Ai, I'm ashamed!"
