Chapter 424. The spring rain is as annoying as oil
If the time is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten, this has just come out, and the battle has not been fought! First of all, there is a big problem!
Humane spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the dripping and thin light rain at least ensures that the crops have sufficient moisture when they germinate, indicating a good omen for a good harvest this year.
But this does not bode well for the army to go out! A question that had never been thought of before suddenly suddenly came to Cao Jun with a long spring rain like a lovesick girl.
Puff~
It was also like going into a paddy field, and the soldier in front stepped into it, and the soaked mud soaked up to his calves, as if he was stuck with ointment, and it was extremely difficult, and he grinned and pulled out his legs again.
The Central Plains roads extend in all directions, the land is developed and organized, and it has been trampled very strongly, but outside the plug? Lulong to the north is already sparsely populated and desolate, a plain from western Liaoning to the Liaohe River basin is almost all nomadic pastures, and no one tidies up the road, the winter snow melts, the spring rain is so extended, the telescope looks at the past like this, to the north for hundreds of miles is green grass, it seems to be very beautiful, but in the past throwing a stone, fluttering, splashing mud and sinking down.
That's not going to be easy!
The light rain poured on his shoulders, and the thick beard on his face was dripping with water, and his face was gloomy as if it was this weather, and he snorted, Cao Cao said in a dull voice.
"Go back to the village!"
…………
The bridgehead built by Wang Hou really came in handy, and he couldn't move forward, Cao Cao's headquarters was set up here first, and the place he chose was quite dry, and he set up a camp high on the coast, and more than 200,000 troops also relied on the camp under the wall, and the senior generals set up tents, and the poor soldiers brought luggage and quilts to support a shack with wooden sticks, and shrank down to hide from the rain.
The continuous spring rain was boring, and the morale of Cao Jun obviously began to fall into a depression when he had just left the customs in high spirits.
"The last general is not effective in investigation, please punish the prime minister!"
The wood is solid and finely inlaid together, and it is covered with thick thatch, and the wooden building built by Wang Hou behind the village is not leaky, but this comfort is obviously not reduced Looking at the spring rain falling down the eaves, Cao Cao's anxiety, watching him come back from the front line, has been gloomy and silent, Zhang Liao is brave to take responsibility, and he clenched his fists and asked for guilt.
However, people are more popular than people, Wang Hou was not greedy for food back then! Mr. Cao also found a reason to let him carry the black cauldron, but now Zhang Liao really has something to do with it, but Cao Cao also took the initiative to help him exonerate, waved his sleeves lightly to him, and said indifferently.
"Wen Yuan is not guilty! When you come, the weather is cold, the earth is solid, and you don't know what will become after vernalization! Get up! ”
"Prime Minister Xie!"
However, Zhang Liao opened this chatterbox to alleviate the dull atmosphere in the headquarters, and Cao always finally returned to the topic, no longer looking at the sky with his hands behind his back in a depressed manner, but hurriedly returned to the wooden table built by Wang Hou, and laid out the largest marching map.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now the road ahead is muddy and difficult to walk, the army is trapped in the Jieshi, the hundred-legged insects of the Yuan family are dead but not stiff, Youzhou is covered with eyeliner, the original phase is on the expedition, Wuhuan must also know that it is no longer feasible to go straight to Liucheng from Liaoxi County, you think, how to move forward in the next step!"
Looking at the map, Guo Jiaxunyou, Liu Ye, Lu Qian and other resourceful people couldn't help frowning.
This terrain is too difficult!
There is also a name for the later generations of Liaoxi, called the Liaoxi Corridor! It's not for nothing! This terrain is too exquisite, from the Guannai into the northeast, just as soon as you reach the narrow coastal plain, to the east is the Bohai Sea, to the west is the extremely rugged Yanshan Mountains, there is no way to go left and right.
Such a slender and narrow corridor terrain, the strong Houjin Eight Banner bandit group that was stunned back then had no temper, the old slave was fed by Yuan Chonghuan under Ningyuan City, and he kicked his legs and braided his hair within a few months of going back, and the Emperor Taiji of the Ming Lord was also trapped in this corridor several times, even if he finally won the Songjin War, the last main force of the 130,000 Ming Army was lost here by the red-eyed gambler Emperor Chongzhen, and there was only one pass left in the Guanningjin defense line, and throughout his life, he failed to enter the pass from the Liaoxi Corridor in a dignified manner.
Although it is now the opposite direction, Cao always has to lead a large army to break out of the pass, pull out Liucheng, the settlement of Wuhuan by the Liao River, and completely destroy the last military force of the Yuan clan, but the situation 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 the Cao army forcibly crosses the past, the Wuhuan people gather tens of thousands of people, and wait for work on the side of the Liaohe Plain, once defeated, the swamp can't run.
"Mr. Tian, you have lived in Biansai for a long time, when will this spring rain stop?"
Pinching the goatee on his chin and thinking about it for a long time, Guo Jia actually hugged his fist at the new face that Wang Hou didn't know in the group of strategists.
followed Guo Jia to turn his attention together, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, no time has passed, not to mention how the IQ is, in this Cao general formation, the strategists are handsome and handsome, in terms of handsomeness, Yang Xiu is the number one appearance of the entire Cao Wei strategist group, and the new strategist surnamed Tian is handsome a little bit more than him, and his hair is neat, the lines on his face are tough, and the temperament of Tian Strategist is even more tough than Yang Xiu's creamy little student.
He also pinched the beard on his chin and thought about it for a while, and the strategist surnamed Tian said in a deep voice.
"In previous years, the spring rain did not fall until at least half a month later, and it stopped for about half a month, but this year, the spring rain came ahead of schedule, and this year's rain was abnormal, and Tian really didn't know how long it would take!"
However, after saying this, the strategist surnamed Tian seemed to hesitate a little bit on his tough and stylish face, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again.
Hearing his sturdiness, whether it was Cao Cao or Guo Jia, they all showed a look of disappointment. also shook his head helplessly, Xun You clenched his fists gloomily and asked.
"Prime Minister, for the sake of the army! The subordinates think that it is better to wait for the rain to stop and the land to dry and harden, and then go out of the army! ”
If it is a normal history, this wait is half a year, the rain in 207 AD was extraordinarily abundant, and it was delayed until July, it was really impossible, Cao Cao, who was facing the threat of retreat, took a risk, and went around behind Wuhuan to forcibly attack.
But this time, there is one more Wang Hou, and if the strategist surnamed Tian swallowed it, he pouted as soon as his mouth was loosened.
"Prime Minister, I heard that from Lulong along the Chaohe River through the Gubeikou, all the way to the north, through the Yan Mountain, through the Xianbei Saibei grassland, and then to the west, you can go straight into Liaodong!"
"How do you know!"
Wang Hou looked at the rough map and casually mentioned it, but these words seemed to have stepped on the root of the strategist surnamed Tian, which made him look round in shock, and his essence made Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others all pay attention in an instant.
The tone was a little urgent, his beard trembled, and when he turned around, Cao Cao asked excitedly and hurriedly.
"Mr. Guorang, is there really such a way?"
