Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

In May of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Cao Cao, who was reclaiming wasteland in the Xistan Basin, received an official invitation from the Yuan family. It was different from the perfunctory treatment of the Cui and Yang families, and also different from the casualness of the Han, Bai and Shen families. When facing Cao Cao , Yuan Tan gave a very formal invitation.

However, it is not a greeting card for one power to visit the other power, but a greeting card for the younger generation to visit the relatives and friends of the father's generation. In this life, Yuan Cao did not turn his back on him. Didn't make any turn-off behavior.

Although it may be that there was not enough time at that time, Cao Cao had no chance to do anything offensive, but when Yuan Shao was young, he often messed with Cao Cao. In addition, Yuan Tan was the eldest son and knew the relationship between his father and Cao Cao, so he went south Coming here, the most formal thing is actually to visit Cao Cao, and the others are at most joint.

When Cao Cao captured Herat at the beginning of the year, he immediately crossed the water dividing line of the Hindu Kush Mountains, and then entered the middle of the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Sahad Plateau, the Baluchistan Plateau, and the Giltar Mountains In the sandwiched basin, further south is the Lezistan Desert of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

Originally, this place was a dead place, but after Cao Cao took it, Zaoyi carried out on-the-spot exploration and finally found that this place is actually not developed by Guishuang people. Among other things, the Sistan Basin can be farmed. Although it is very desolate now, but In Zaozhi's research, it is possible to rely on the Helmand River for transformation and then turn it into a good irrigation canal.

Cao Cao's understanding of this point is, since Zaoyi said so, then do it, do it and see the result before confirming, no one can be sure of what he said, as for the failure, the big deal is that if they fail, they will continue to get out Farming in the Sestan area.

If the Sistan Basin can be farmed, for Cao Cao, the logistics distance will be shortened a lot, because the desolate Sistan Basin is actually almost across the desert from Kandahar, so if this place can be farmed, it will be a big problem for Cao Cao. It is a good thing for Cao Cao.

After the date was authorized, it started to dry, and the result was unexpectedly good. In April, a large area of ​​grain was successfully planted. Although most of them were beans, but being able to grow soybeans meant that Wheat, millet, and rice can all be put on the agenda.

Cao Cao is very satisfied with this. As long as the food problem is solved, he will consume it slowly, and a little bit of farmland can push Beigui's group of miscellaneous fish to death.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't know how strange the Sistan Basin is. For most peoples in the world, this place is an undeveloped area, and it can basically reach the level of a grain-producing area in the hands of the Han Dynasty.

Don't look at the desolation of this place at this time. After the fifth century, a certain god in Sasanian Persia developed this place based on the Helmand River, and successfully made the Sistan Basin a famous irrigation area in the history of the world. , when this grand occasion only lasted for a thousand years.

About a thousand years later, this place was gone because of the war, and the irrigation area built in the past was also destroyed. After that, there was no strong force to develop it, so that this place has been abandoned until later generations.

Cao Cao didn't know this, but he picked up a frontier base for nothing. Of course, Cao Cao was in a good mood. Originally, he had already prepared the idea of ​​farming in the Saistan area and then transshipment. Now, it is unnecessary. If Sistan can farm , the logistical distance to Kandahar was shortened to about two hundred miles, even if there was a desert in between, Cao Cao could accept it.

Therefore, Cao Cao has been in a good mood recently, and has even begun to send people to the desert to harass Beigui, while Kapil, Barak and others on Beigui's side also sent troops to fight against Cao Cao, and the two sides fought in the desert. Happy.

The camel riders on both sides are even more inseparable. The Guishuang camel riders are relatively experienced, but the camel riders who can’t hold back Zhu are the elites carefully selected by the Han Dynasty, so that it is difficult to tell who the two sides are in the desert. dominant.

However, the fact that there is no winner is good news for the Han Dynasty, but it is very sad news for generals like Zasali who rely on camel riding for their living.

Coupled with Cao Cao's large-scale armored regular army entering the desert to harass, Beigui finally felt what it means to be rich and powerful.

Compared with Beigui who relied on surprise production to arrange weapons and ordinary leather armor for the soldiers incorporated into the regular army, the Han Dynasty had uniform armor, and the survivability and combat effectiveness of both sides were greater when confronted head-on. showed a great difference.

The combat effectiveness of using ordinary spears and leather armor may not be as good as using armored swords and shields, but that refers to the time when the quality, will and experience of the two sides are very different.

Is there a big gap between the soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the soldiers of Beigui in terms of quality, will, and experience? Are you kidding me? Maybe ordinary pawns will have some advantages in these three aspects.

As a result, the northern noble soldiers were quite embarrassed when they encountered the regular army of the Han Dynasty. Strong, wearing armor, holding a sword and shield, and carrying a short spear, it is different from the Han army with a short crossbow. It is not necessary to say what mood it is.

Again, the difference in weapons and equipment between the empire and the top legions can be regarded as no, because as long as the empire is not completely corrupted, the best weapons and equipment will be provided to the most elite soldiers.

These people fight the toughest enemies, participate in the most tragic wars, take the best weapons, and have the highest salaries, but only these top-level legions can enjoy this kind of treatment.

Most of the conventional troops are the gap between the empire and the empire. Just like now, they are also talented regular troops. The regular troops under Cao Cao rely on that armor, even if they are not used to coming to the desert because of it, they can do it. To one dozen three.

But the shield guard's talent is called self-adaptation, and it won't take long to adapt to this environment, not to mention Cheng Yu's spiritual talent and legion talent, I always feel that Guishuang is about to die!

This is the meaning of equipment. The existence of Chen Xi has really popularized armor, reaching the level of per capita. To put it too far, most of the soldiers on Beigui's side are ordinary soldiers who can't pierce the Han army with a single shot in the desert. armor.

The power of a straight shot, many times, will not be able to exert its force to the maximum because of the desert, and it cannot be directly pierced in the face of armor, so that the Han Dynasty actually has a certain advantage in the originally difficult desert war, even though many times It is not easy to march in the desert wearing armor, but as long as there is no quicksand, wearing armor is far better than not wearing armor.

This horrific armor rate made Kapil's scalp numb. The entire Guishuang had never thought that the Han Dynasty was not just the armor of the top legion. Before, they used to think that the Han Dynasty was the same as their Guishuang , it turns out that your father is still your father.

However, the war has already begun, so we can only continue with the courage to continue. First, send a message to Peshawar to ask for armor support.

It’s not realistic at all. Guishuang is not a Han Dynasty, and they have a huge armor reserve. To be precise, Guishuang has hundreds of thousands of armed top-level elite armors that have been accumulated little by little over the past hundred years. Now If you want to arm the armor of millions of troops, go to sleep. There is everything in the dream, but the reality is so cruel.

In fact, there is no such thing as top-level elite top-level armor in the Han Dynasty. In fact, they are all serious standard equipment. It is produced in one version.

Compared to random production, Chen Xi prefers batch, large-scale, and assembly line projects. This requires efficiency and scale. As long as the steel mill continues to produce output, he will have countless armors available. .

Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, from the Xiliang iron cavalry to the recruits, in terms of armor, they are all the same. The materials and shapes are basically the same. At most, there are wolf cavalry like Bingzhou. The boss helped them to raise the temperature at a high level, and just painted a layer of paint.

Others are basically the same. The materials of plate armor are produced one after another, and they don't have any special requirements like weapons. Richter made a stamping machine, bang, bang, the front of a piece of plate armor came out, the efficiency is not too high.

In this case, Guishuang really felt what is called father's care. Do you think that only the Han Dynasty is like you, and only the top legions have such good armor? Sorry, I was joking with you before, we were ordinary soldiers and couldn't get through, so we looked like you.

In fact, not only are our elites all wearing armor, but all our regular troops are wearing armor, and all of them are wearing the same armor as your top legion!

When Cao Cao was cared for by Chen Xi in this way in China, he hated this kind of behavior of crushing himself with weapons and equipment. However, after going abroad, when he started to crush the enemy with weapons and equipment, Cao Cao felt like eating ice cold during the dog days Watermelon, cool and crooked.

Originally thought to be very difficult to fight in the desert, originally thought that many elite desert battlefields would need to be filled. He can hack Guishuang to death!

Therefore, when he received the news that Yuan Tan and his wife and concubines came to visit, Cao Cao was in a very good mood. The recent winning streak made Cao Cao very inflated.
