Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

That day, Cao Cao was very powerful, and the most worrying problems had been solved, and the remaining problems were no longer a problem, so he was no longer as conservative as before when fighting. He fought a battle with Barak on the outskirts of Kandahar. He forced Barack back.

The powerful offensive made Barak, who hadn't planned to kill him, decisively switch from defense to offense, and Cao Cao received even more explosive news that night.

"Did something serious happen? Didn't Lu Ziming already kill him?" When Chen Gong came in, he saw Zhang Xiu, Xia Houyuan and others were among them, so he couldn't help being surprised.

"New information is coming, from Zhongda's side." Cao Cao said expressionlessly.

Chen Gong was taken aback when he heard the words, "Did Sima Zhongda lose the battle? Well, even if they can't beat them, they shouldn't be very deadly. They are still very strong, and short-legged iron cavalry are not so easy to kill." As he spoke, he received Cao Cao's secret report.

"Huh?" Chen Gong's voice suddenly raised an octave, "Are you kidding me!"

"Zhongda won't joke about this." Cheng Yu retorted.

"It's not that I don't know, I'm just surprised!" Chen Gong said angrily, "Can the miraculous state really defeat five times the three talents? According to our previous estimation, isn't it the limit to withstand three times? It is too exaggerated to be able to repel five times, and the battle loss ratio is simply unbelievable."

"It's unbelievable, but it's true. Although it was made up of many factors, the combat power of the iron cavalry has indeed exceeded our estimation." Cao Cao nodded and said, "I have sent a report to the rear from Duan Zhongming. Please posthumously posthumous title and posthumous title in Chang'an."

"Deploy troops from the rear." After reading the secret report, Chen Gong pressed the secret report on several cases, and said with an extremely serious expression.

Cheng Yu glanced at Chen Gong. This was one of the few times when he didn't argue with Chen Gong. No matter what it was before, as long as Chen Gong spoke, Cheng Yu would definitely criticize him. Similarly, as long as Cheng Yu spoke, Chen Gong would also Stand up and criticize.

"All people majoring in water conservancy have been transferred here. The irrigation area on Herat can be used as the rear area, and the frontier base will be rebuilt here. Didn't the Sang family propose to cut off the Helmand River, rearrange the water network, and reorganize the water network?" Will it be possible to form countless fertile fields by setting up the outskirts of Kandahar? Let him do it." Chen Gong directly suggested that they have a lot of professionals, and it's time to work.

In fact, the Kandahar Irrigation District in later generations was actually built on the basis of the Helmand River. It is precisely because the Helmand River is cut off and the water network is used in a more scientific way that this place has become a must-have for future generations and empires. .

When Chen Xi sent the main force of the Central Plains to go abroad, he gave a lot of resources. He also arranged a few people who are proficient in water conservancy construction under Cao Cao's command. Of course, these few are roughly equivalent to industry leaders, and the rest are It is the level of graduate students and doctoral students with a big cow belt.

When competing with Beigui for the Leqistan Desert before, some water conservancy workers came here several times under the protection of soldiers. It is determined that the periphery of Kandahar has the value of transformation.

The three professionals in water conservancy have all provided design plans. Although the plans are slightly different due to personal personality and academic emphasis, the people sent by the three companies agree that after the water network renovation, the surrounding areas of Kandahar will use extensive grazing and rough farming. This method can maintain a population of about 400,000, and with intensive cultivation, this number can be doubled.

Of course, the middle-aged people of the Sang family think that if Cao Cao is willing to spend another amount of money to get a group of experimental farmers from the Qu family and conduct detailed research, they should be able to raise more. Major, of course, refers to the students of Cookie, not the Qu family. In the words of these people, the Qu family needs a generation of talent.

In short, this group of people solved the problem of Cao Cao's foothold when he attacked Kandahar, but Cao Cao never thought that he could gain a foothold in Kandahar so quickly, so he sealed up the research content of these three families, and now Xiliang Iron Cavalry General Campier The group of imperial guards suffered heavy losses, and the plan that was originally thought to take at least a year to be activated, seemed to be able to be activated now.

"Send people to the site to investigate, make accurate measurements, and then pull the engineering team over to build a permanent building here and occupy it directly. Compared with Herat, which needs to cross the Lezistan Desert, it needs to stand here. It is only a matter of time before Kandahar is taken down." Chen Gong said very seriously, "Transfer Zao Xiaowei and the group over here."

"I also agree with this plan." Cheng Yu said slowly, "Even if the transfer may be dangerous, as long as we stand firm, we can almost reach the sky in one step."

Kandahar is actually not a difficult place for Cao Cao to fight. In fact, Herat does not count the new 60,000 shield guards. Cao Cao still has tens of thousands of elites there, but the distance between Herat and Kandahar is too far. , plus the middle is still a desert.

It is precisely because of this liver-painful terrain that Cao Cao can only mobilize a part of the army. If there are too many troops, the logistical pressure is really unbearable. type, but the food supply is not coming up, for Cao Cao, he really has no confidence in the battle.

Therefore, after the Sang family, the Wang family, and the Li family jointly guaranteed that an irrigation area could be built on the outskirts of Kandahar, Cao Cao knew clearly that the first step in the next attack on Kandahar was to take this area, and then turn it into a grain-producing area. Supplement food and grass to attack Kandahar.

It’s just that I’ve been afraid of Kapil’s five and three talents before, and I’m not sure of standing there, but now the opportunity seems to have come.

"We can actually talk to Barack." Chen Gong knew what Cao Cao was worried about, and he was also worried, but this time he had to take a risk. If he didn't take the risk, he might be able to stand in this position again next year, and then produce food One year, half a year for the Raiders, the fastest time to win Kandahar will be two years later, not to mention there is Kabul behind, and Khyber behind.

If it really takes such a long time for the heart-wrenching terrain of Beigui, even if Cao Cao can win, it will take too much time, but now as long as he stands firm here, he can save at least a year of time.

"Barack can't be moved." Cao Cao shook his head and said, "It is impossible for a general who can be placed in the heart of Vesudeva I to betray, and even if he betrays, he won't get anything."

"No, it's not about talking, nor about getting something, but about making Kapil and the others suspicious." Chen Gong shook his head and said, "After this battle, Kapil's position should be unstable, and Barak, to be honest , As far as we are, he can't be chewed, he is indeed very good in defense, and the positions he chooses are all convenient for defense."

Cheng Yu nodded silently, he already understood what Chen Gong wanted to do, and their next behavior might just be a proof, and if Kapil's status is unstable, it is inevitable that he will pay attention to Barak who has the most impact on his position.

"Is it a divorce plan?" Cao Cao said with a thoughtful look on his face, "It's okay to give it a try."

"Mr. Cao, please borrow the seal of Princess Qinghe." Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao and said, Cao Cao was stunned, and squinted at Chen Gong.

Cao Cao's eldest daughter, that is, Cao Wan, who is a compatriot with Cao Ang's mother, when Liu Tong counted the number of royal family members, she found it too miserable, so she waved her hand and sent a message to Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Sun Ce's younger sister. The title of Weng Lord is now the princess. Cao Cao is the princess of Qinghe, and Sun Shangxiang is the princess of Le'an.

As for Liu Bei's eldest daughter who is a princess, there is actually nothing to say about this. Who made the number of royal relatives in the Han Dynasty not enough, there were a lot of vacancies when Liu Tong issued the title.

Besides, unlike before, it was not necessary to give salaries, fiefdoms, food towns, etc. to these princesses and princesses with titles. What Liu Tong issued was actually an empty title.

Anyway, Liu Tong didn't believe that Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Liu Yu, and Liu Ai, the royal family named Liu, would come to ask her for a salary because she gave their daughter the title of princess.

As for Cao Cao and Sun Ce, that's even more impossible. Each person has the title of princess, and you can find a way to deal with the rest yourself. Of course, no one will have a salary or anything.

On the contrary, when Cao Cao and Sun Ce received the imperial decree, they were very happy to express that it was nothing to do, then accepted the imperial decree, and gave Liu Tong more gifts during the Chinese New Year.

For this reason, some people who think that their family is very attractive, but have not won the title of princess, yelled in private that this is a high-end peddler. That's right, it was Yuan Shu. Got, very upset.

Liu Tong scoffed at this, the two lines of your Yuan family have no daughters, what are you shouting about!

Speaking of the funds that Chen Xi gave Liu Tong to support the royal family every year, Liu Tong put all of them in his pocket, and didn't send out any money. During the New Year, he secretly asked other members of the royal family for lucky money, and accepted all kinds of gifts from the princes openly. According to the observations in the past few years, except for Si Niang and Han Xin, no one can collect the money from Liu Tong.

Naturally, Cao Cao didn't understand what Chen Gong's plan to divorce was going on before, but Cao Cao was not a fool, so how could he not understand.

"Sikong can rest assured, just borrowing it, Barak can't even see anyone, it's just a pretext." Chen Gong shook his head and said, Cao Cao is obviously completely different from a few years ago. A few years ago, Cao Cao These children's personal relationships will not be considered at all.

"I'm just thinking about a question, how attractive is the status of a princess to Beigui?" Cao Cao stroked his prickly beard with a curious expression, "Or, will Barack really Did you fall for it?"
