The rain pole of the world, the Zirapunzi of India! There are almost no days of rain for 365 days a year, but it is not that Lord Xiao, the god of rain, is particularly favored here, but that this place is unlucky enough to be directly opposite the warm air from the Indian Ocean blowing towards the Himalayas!

The warm air currents rich in water vapor are blocked by the towering Himalayas, and they can only sink in a spurt before falling on the head of Kirapunzi.

The situation of the Liaoning West Corridor is similar now, the Yanshan Mountains are indeed not as high as the Himalayas, but after all, they are also mountains, and the general years are good, but now they are in the ice age climate disorder, the Mongolian high pressure in the cold winter is too strong, and the vacuum air flow surges to push a large amount of marine low pressure water vapor to rush to the land, and part of the heavy moist low air flow is blocked back by Yanshan, turning into a gentle spring rain, which happened to fall on the head of Cao Zong's army.

The western Liaoning Corridor, which is located outside the plug and still maintains a grassland ecology, grows grass year by year, decays year by year, and the soft humus soil is soaked in water again, forming this muddy pond that can pass through the wind and can pass through you.

Not only now, in the later Ming and Qing wars, the history books can often see the words that the heavy rain mud rots the soldiers and horses, but at that time, Liaoxi has been transformed from the grassland to cultivated fields and roads, the ground is a lot tighter, 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 natural weakness, that is, the Wuhuan people have cities.

On the one hand, he robbed himself, on the other hand, he was supported by Yuan Shao, in exchange for the support of his brave Wuhuan cavalry, coupled with the defeat of the remnants of the army and civilians who fled here by Eryuan, and built a huge nomadic settlement with a population of nearly 200,000 around Liucheng, that is, Chaoyang City in later generations.

To have a city is to be flawless! As long as Liucheng is broken, the Wuhuan regime that has just risen can only sing cool.

It's just a trembling rush through the quagmire to the bottom of Liucheng!

Cao Cao is not lacking in patience, he can wait for a month, two months or even half a year, but he must not tolerate waiting hopelessly, just like a mediocre general who is helpless, the rainy season has not stopped until now, once before the winter can breathe through this narrow Liaoxi grassland, the army can not withstand the cold outside the pass, and has to retreat to the pass, a year will be in vain! Life is short, how many years has Cao Cao been in a stalemate with the Wuhuan people for a year?

Besides, this will be the case next year, what will I do!

Therefore, the difference between a famous general and a mediocre general is revealed in Mr. Cao, that is, when it is decided, it is broken!

However, in history, Cao Cao personally led the army, out of the later generations of Xifengkou, Dushikou, through Baili Yan Mountain, walking the grassland, and running long distances to the back of the Wuhuan people, this time with Wang Hou, he has one more choice!

"The ship ......, the ship transported 200,000 troops through Liaoxi and went straight to Liucheng! This ......, this risk is inevitably too great! ”

Wang Hou still didn't skip going to work, and was carried back to the conference room, listening to Cao Cao's proposal with bright eyes, Wang Hou almost bit his tongue and screamed.

Not only did he lose his color, but even Guo Jia, Yang Xiu, Xun You and several other think tanks were all pale and stooly, and an old face was like pig liver, Xun You was the first to shake his head like a wave drum, and solemnly hugged his fist at Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, fire and water are ruthless and the sea is impermanent, since ancient times, the minister has not heard the saying that the army crossed the sea and went out to attack the enemy capital, this move is too dangerous, and I hope the prime minister will think twice!"

"Prime Minister, the Qingzhou Navy Division doesn't have such a large capacity, and it will transport all the 200,000 troops over! And what Mr. Gongda said is right, the sea is impermanent, once it encounters a storm, it is not impossible for the ship to be destroyed and people die. ”

It's rare that Xun You and Wang Hou can still talk together, however, Cao Cao, who has already planned and then moved, is by no means a person like Yuan Shao who is soft-eared when the strategists say it, holding his big sleeves, looking at Wang Hou's sweating in his head, he snorted coldly with a dark face.

"Since the sea is so dangerous and impermanent, how can you Wang Tuqiu carry your Qingzhou soldiers and horses on a boat across the sea and transport millions of grain to Liaodong, you kid still dare to cross the sea to attack Wu and rob Sun Quan's children, but it is difficult to get to the prime minister, so do you think that the original phase is not as good as you?"

"Forehead ......"

Wang Hou was stuck there on the spot by this chrysanthemum, and he choked and rolled his eyes as if he had swallowed a duck egg.

easily settled his cheap son-in-law, but Cao Cao did not answer Xun You's words, but turned to the other side of the new Youzhou general Tian Yu, who had not yet had the right to speak, here Cao Cao's voice was a little more serious, and he asked very solemnly.

"Guorang, if you take the old Han road of Chaobaihe and go straight to Liaodong through the Xianbei territory, how long will it take, and what is the risk compared to the sea route?"

"Uh......, this!"

Who can estimate this, his head also turned sharply for a while, Tian Yu stumbled at this time, and suffocated an old face like constipation, and it was difficult to estimate.

"Crossing the mountains and mountains is not better than the flat road, returning from Jieshi, going north through the monolithic pass, approaching hundreds of miles, 100,000 troops, at least about a month! As for the risks, the subordinates have not crossed the sea route, so I really don't know! However, the army traveled lightly, and the grassland could be attacked by the Xianbei people at any time, and this road was indeed dangerous and abnormal! ”

"Where's you kid!"

How did you get from a gentleman to a boy when you came to Lao Tzu? With a crooked mouth in his heart, on his face, Wang Hou still had a bitter face, and he hugged his fists sadly.

"This time I went north, and I stuffed people under the cabin as cattle, and the subordinates only brought more than 30,000 military horses in total, but to fight with the Wuhuan people, cavalry is indispensable! If you count the war horses, you can only transport 15,000 cavalry or 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 steps at a time! ”

"Although it is rainy these days, there is no big wind and waves at sea, and the offshore sea sails northward, approaching a hundred miles, and it is only three or four days of travel, but now the difficulty is that the son-in-law has not been to the area of Liaohe Bay, there is no exact anchorage, and the sea ship is not just a small estuary! Without a suitable anchorage, the army may return in vain! ”

"And if there is no storm, if it encounters a storm, the wrath of heaven and earth cannot be resisted by manpower, once the sailboat sinks, a death is a boatload of people!"

"Four days! Twenty thousand! ”

The two words made Cao Cao pinch his beard and chew uncontrollably, seeing that he only mentioned the sea route and did not mention anything about the land route, Wang Hou couldn't help but hug his fists again and asked again.

"Prime Minister, the sea route is dangerous, the son-in-law can be the first to bring it up, if you have to take the sea route, if there is any mistake, you can't blame the minister-in-law!"

Hearing this, not to mention Xun Youyang Xiu couldn't help but snort disdainfully, even Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, Wang Hou, this kid is still too tender, for his subordinates, not to mention the defeat of the war, he doesn't even have this responsibility, why does the lord use you?

Mr. Cao himself was also angry, looking at his useless appearance, his index finger and middle finger were put together and the vicious halberd pointed at his nose, scolding angrily.

"You are the general of the sea route, if there is an accident on the sea route, the old man doesn't ask you, then who is to blame? If something goes wrong in the sea, the old man will take off your Wang Tuqiu's head and throw it into the water to see if it can make a few sounds! ”

"Forehead ......"

Aren't you, old man, unreasonable? It's not Lao Tzu who said that you want to take the waterway! With bitterness in his mouth, he hugged his fist and bowed heavily, Wang Hou wanted to talk nonsense again to try if he could fool Mr. Cao again, but before he could speak, Cao Cao's next sentence made his pupils dilated, and even his breathing became a little shorter!
