Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 838 March on the Plateau
Contrary to the exaggeration of the Kanto gentry, the Kansai bureaucrats only pay attention to one word, and that is pragmatism!

The bureaucrats under Wang Hou's command are also extravagant, but they know the timing of extravagance. After winning the war, they can't celebrate too much, but before the victory, they will never engage in any fancy ostentation. Afterwards, there was no welcome party, and following the second wave of the army, he also embarked on the journey directly.

This time there is only Cao Zhang himself. After all, the Congling frontline is still engaged in a tug-of-war with the Sishuang people. After three years of experience, with the method taught by Wang Hou, Changle has become a new generation of black-bellied queen. In charge of command, logistics and internal affairs, Lao Zhonghui will be as airtight as ever, and the three of them will keep an eye on the front line. Cao Zhang then withdraws to participate in the war of destroying Shu forced by Wang Hou.

It was just riding on the yak, looking at the map while holding the map, while shaking his body with the swaying of the yak, Cao Zhang still had a face full of reluctance and muttered disdainfully.

"Isn't it just marching along the wilderness to the middle of Sichuan? Such a simple task, I have to bother my old scum, and my brother-in-law is really good!"

Hearing his complaints, Zhuge Xin, the staff officer in charge of ordering him, couldn't help but put on a young face again, and clenched his fists very sadly.

"Da Duhu should not underestimate this road. The journey is hard and not as easy as Dadu Hu's fierce battle in the Western Regions! This way up, its height is even higher than Mount Tai. The way is bitter and cold, and it is extremely difficult! The next official followed the advance team. Do it once, and it’s still fresh in my memory!”

"You literati advisers are just vain and coquettish!"

Seeing Zhuge Xin's lingering fear, Cao Zhang, who had conquered more than a dozen of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, looked like an old soldier. Didn't say much, just fisted heavily.

The feat of destroying Shu is best obtained by Cao Zhang, a member of the Cao clan. He has made great achievements in destroying the country. At that time, Wang Hou can also use his skills to push him to the throne, so Zhuge Xin promised to destroy Shu this time. After Shu, he allocated [-] households to fill the Western Regions, and the aggressive method stimulated him to conquer the Western Territories, but Cao Zhang did not dare to conquer the Southern Territories, so he was fooled into Huangzhong.

As long as this master is willing to go on, even if he wants to ride on his own neck to fight, let alone bragging!

It's just that in the silent promise, this old boy still couldn't help but have a gloating expression on his face.

…………

Zi once said: Don't pretend to beep, you will be struck by lightning!In less than two days, Cao Zhang was punished!

This is also one of the achievements of the three-year southward exploration. Golmud Qianxing No. [-] camp is in a canyon in the middle of undulating hills. A wooden fence surrounds a school-sized camp. The [-]-member advance unit grazing a large number of yaks took the lead in building rows of extraordinarily neat felt camps here.

This place has already reached the plateau, with an altitude of more than 3000 meters. At this time, it is also the first gate of hell for the long-distance Storm Legion. I'm a rookie.

"Ouch..., Ouch..."

In the warm felt bag, with a thick towel wrapped around his head, holding a hot water bottle in his hand, lying on a thick cotton couch, Cao Zhang huddled up like a plague chicken, humming unceasingly.

Now it's really Zhuge Xin's turn to gloat. The last time he came here, he also suffered from severe altitude sickness. This is the experience gained by the Storm Legion. Three days to get through the altitude sickness period.

This thing is like winning the lottery, some people can't get used to it, some people don't have a problem, some people have been here several times, and still suffer from altitude sickness again and again, and some people were fine last time, this time The reaction was exceptionally strong, and Zhuge Xin was the one who died for the first time, and he was not that lucky the second time.

Seeing that the melon seed in his head hurt like it was splitting open, the frail and ladylike boss of the Western Regions Guard, suppressed a smile, and this guy held his fists solemnly.

"Daduhu, the daughter of your body, before coming, Daxingtai has ordered, if Daduhu can't persist, this subordinate will escort Daduhu back to the Western Regions!"

"Fart! Last year, when I was in Kangju, I was fine in the eight hundred miles of desert. It's hard to get me here! I just need to be confused for a while! Get out of here!"

Good guy, after staying in the army for a long time, Cao Zhang, a playboy, has also become infected with a prostitution style. Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, he talked about his old man, completely forgetting that if he really became Zhuge Xin’s old man, Zhuge Xin made a lot of money. .

And after the pretense was over, Cao Zhang grinned again from the pain in his head. Seeing his weak appearance, holding back his amusedness, Zhuge Xin took out a bag from his back pocket, and threw it on the bed with a clatter. He poured out a large bag of sugar-fried chestnuts.

"Please take care of yourself!"

"I'm disgusting, take it away!"

Usually, the fragrant chestnuts are especially favored by Cao Zhang, but now, he was so disgusted that he wanted to spit out his stomach. Where could he eat them, he slapped his hands in annoyance.

"Da Duhu, if you want to move forward, you must eat, otherwise, even if the subordinates offend Daduhu, they must send you down the mountain!"

"You boy!"

Without speaking, in the tent, Zhuge Xin clasped his fists firmly and bowed down, glaring at him several times angrily, Cao Zhang helplessly picked up a chestnut and yelled irritably.

"I'll eat it, get out of here!"

"Most people use it slowly!"

Only then did he show a smile, and he clasped his fists and bowed heavily. The talented student who graduated from Chang'an Military Academy finally exited the tent.

Now I can't feel the happiness brought by delicious food at all. It's like being pregnant, my stomach is very disgusting, holding a chestnut, disgusted for a long time, Cao Zhang swallowed it with a gurgle.

The yak team transported several times, and hoarded a large amount of supplies in this Golmud camp. The first batch of advance troops who had first adapted to altitude sickness acted as servants, responsible for grazing and scouting, and the remaining [-] soldiers who arrived were all sick. Regardless of whether there is a reaction or not, they have to nest in the felt bag to rest.

Wang Hou did not have any medicine for altitude sickness in later generations. He could only use the weakest diet. Everyone must eat more carbohydrates, no matter how disgusting or uncomfortable. Every soldier was ordered by force I ate dry food with clear water in the felt bag, fell asleep immediately when I was full, and almost threw up after sleeping.

The cruelty of the plateau is unmistakable. Despite many training sessions and an army of tens of thousands, more than 100 people suffered from acute altitude sickness. They were transported back to Huangzhong by the yak team the next day. He didn't wake up, and even if he didn't even see the enemy, he stayed here forever. Even if he finally survived, Cao Zhang couldn't help feeling sorry for the sergeants when they saw the soldiers who were no longer alive. The reverence for nature has deepened.

However, after the cruelty, the plateau generously rewarded the Storm Legion who had overcome the difficulties without hesitation.

After leaving the Golmud camp, before walking for half a day, the orderly regiment suddenly became agitated again. A large number of sergeants threw away their yaks, and all excitedly rushed in one direction, which made Cao Zhang grin his teeth angrily.

"What happened? Give me back!"

With the soldiers under his command, he also rode a yak and ran towards that direction angrily, but a few seconds later, looking at the direction where the soldiers gathered, his eyes couldn't help but straighten.

Originally on a large plain, a huge and incomparably blue mirror suddenly appeared in front of your eyes, and the sky was clearly reflected on this mirror, making you unable to tell where is the earth and where is the sky. The scenery is so beautiful. Fascinating.

After staring blankly for a long time, Cao Zhang murmured and shook his head in disbelief.

"It turns out that Yaochi really exists!"
