Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Again, Cao Cao didn't believe it. As a native of the Central Plains, when building a city, he would strengthen flood prevention and disaster prevention facilities, and also specially strengthen the construction of water networks. Now he is in a state of embarrassment due to the floods in Kandahar. .

According to the setting that the final destination of the Indian Ocean monsoon is the Himalayas, the Kabul Valley will definitely be the hardest-hit area. I know Kandahar suffered floods of this level, and the floods in Kabul must be at least three times that of ours. Cao Cao does not believe that Ardashir can End in peace!

Even if Ardashir is a scholar of heaven, blessed by destiny, and has lived in Central Asia for so many years without experiencing floods, in a place like the Kabul Valley that has not seen a flood in decades, he still remembers to do some flood control, Cao Cao I don’t believe that what the other party has built can withstand this flood. If this is the outcome, Cao Cao said that he would commit suicide on the spot!

"What I want to say is that our climate observers believe that when the flood broke out in the Kabul area, the rainfall here has not stopped." Chen Gong was silent for a while and gave Cao Cao an outrageous answer, "Comprehensive domestic side According to the analysis sent, the entire monsoon period, which lasted about four months, was compressed to a little more than a month, so it is very likely that when the floods broke out in Kabul, the rainfall here had not stopped.”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. This would be fatal.

"Will the rainfall be lighter by then?" Xun Yu looked at Chen Gong and asked.

"This is the first time we have encountered such a situation here. People from the Gan family and Shi family asked some elderly people in Beigui, but they have never seen such heavy rain, so they can't guarantee it." Chen Gong said helplessly. , "But in theory, it should become smaller. After all, in the past few days, the rainfall has not continued to increase or decrease. It is at its peak. According to the monsoon wind direction, if there is a slight decrease trend in the following days, , then the judgment of our climate experts should be OK.”

"Even if it decreases, I'm afraid it won't work. The rain here now makes us feel like the sky is leaking." Cao Ren said with a gloomy face, "Even if it decreases, the rainfall during this period will It will also cause flooding to continue.”

"Report!" Just as this group of people were discussing what to do next, a guard rushed in despite the rain, "General Xu on the northern front reported urgently that a large-scale mudslide occurred. General Xu is using his army to attack to change the direction of the mountain road. , demanding that the villages northwest of Kandahar be relocated as soon as possible.”

Legion attacks are very useful, especially if the top legions have no cloud suppression. There is no problem in blowing up mountains in a short time. The only trouble is that this method directly blows up mountains. Without enough technical ability, the collapsed mountains are still blocked in place. , will cause new problems, but now a large-scale mudslide has occurred on the northern line and is heading towards Kandahar. Xu Huang made a prompt decision to blow up the mountain directly.

The impact direction of the debris flow was changed by the mountain explosion, but the ruins formed by the mountain explosion and the direction of the debris flow's blockage also quickly formed large-scale water accumulation in that area. According to the degree and height of the blockage, and the current exaggerated rainfall, , in less than a day, a barrier lake will be formed here.

So much so that after Xu Huang exploded the mountain, he immediately sent someone to notify Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to relocate the population first, and then the waterway would be rebuilt under the judgment of water conservancy personnel.

Mountains cannot be blown up casually. This is something that all senior water conservancy personnel have been urging recently. In their words, the current rainfall in Kandahar can still be withstood by relying on the margin they had when designing Kandahar. , if it really doesn't work, blow up the No. 1 dam to release the flood. Although it will cause some losses, it can still be barely controlled.

But if you blow up mountains at will and form a large barrier lake, then if a certain link goes wrong, everyone will die together. This is a certain water conservancy god of the Sang family who pats his chest and uses his own nine tribes to make a guarantee - as long as you don't act recklessly. The floods in Kandahar can definitely be withstood, and the human losses can be controlled to a certain extent. However, if the amount of water produced exceeds our estimate, causing the flood peak to cover the dam body, everyone will die together, so we must not casually do so. Exploding mountains must be carried out by professionals.

Cao Cao has a lot of water conservancy personnel under his command, and they have strong technical strength. After all, they built millions of acres of fertile farmland based on the construction of water conservancy facilities in the lower reaches of the Helmand River. This group of people considered the issue of flood control during the construction, and There is plenty of margin left.

However, the water conservancy facilities in the agricultural area in the middle and lower reaches of the Helmand River are well built. This does not mean that the water conservancy facilities in Kandahar City, which was inherited from the Beigui era, are also well built. After all, costs must be considered to capture Kandahar City. After comprehensive consideration, the water conservancy personnel under Cao Cao only carried out the papering process and did not rebuild Kandahar City.

This has led to the fact that the current situation in Kandahar City is worse than that of the irrigation areas in the middle and lower reaches.

"Xia Houyuan, you are quick, go and move all the villages over there." Cao Cao quickly made a judgment. During the recent period, Cao Cao has been sitting in the Kandahar government office all day long. After receiving emergency reports, he sent troops to rescue. , don’t rely on the people and local governments to save people at this time, you can only join the army, which is fast and professional enough.

Xia Houyuan stood up and bowed, then went out, picked up his bamboo hat and rushed out. There was nothing he could do, now Aldashir was outside the city, and the cloud protection could not be stopped, which was also a trouble for disaster relief.

As for how the army feels about disaster relief, although there is a saying that bandits are like combs and soldiers are like combs, it is generally said in troubled times. In a prosperous era, it is normal for the army in the Central Plains to undertake disaster relief, especially floods. Since the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the Yellow River burst its banks and the locals could not stop it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized the army to stop the water. When encountering floods, the locals could not do anything, so the army had to be used.

By the way, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty organized the army to stop the Yellow River flood, Sima Qian rarely stopped talking nonsense and gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a very high evaluation.

Therefore, what Cao Cao is doing now can be regarded as following the old rules, which is not bad. In addition, the lower-level soldiers are all locals, and they are empathetic and try their best in disaster relief.

"Urgent report, Bakza under Ardashir is leading his soldiers to attack the mountain road and create a large barrier lake in the upper reaches of the Helmand River. The waterway of the Helmand River has been affected to a certain extent. Fortunately, the current rainfall is very heavy, and it is estimated that it will take about ten days to block the Helmand River valley." Not long after Xiahou Yuan rushed out, the scout who went to investigate in the rain brought back another piece of news that made Cao Cao very angry. Bakza was creating a barrier lake.

"I will organize people to repel Bakza." Zhang Xiu stood up and said. He couldn't help much here. It would be better to fight with Bakza.

"Now it's raining heavily. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry will lose 30% of its 100% combat power. You may not get any benefit by leading the Xiliang Iron Cavalry there." Cao Cao shook his head and said.

Bakza's subordinates are pure infantry. Although he led cavalry before, his heart abyss structure and talent composition are more suitable for infantry. He led cavalry before, more for the purpose of withdrawing quickly from Central Asia. If we really consider combat effectiveness, Bakza's infantry performance is more stable.

In this case, Zhang Xiu led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry over. Although he could take advantage of the legion's talent, the overall situation was not favorable for Zhang Xiu.

"I will take people over." Cao Zhen raised his eyebrows. To deal with infantry, his mixed legion is more powerful. Whether it is the flail heavy infantry rushing in front with heavy weapons, or the small number of sharp soldiers covering the two wings, they can quickly deal with a single infantry legion.

Cao Zhen's development of legion talent finally took the route of three-pronged consideration. There was no other way. Cao Cao's situation in recent years was really bad. Cao Cao's officers and officers had nothing to do, so they calmed down and studied the development direction of their legion talents. To be proficient and in-depth, they needed to fight against powerful enemies and then continuously optimize and strengthen, but if they developed in a broad direction, they only needed to slowly study and verify.

This is also the reason why Xu Huang's atmospheric deflection developed a large number of small skills. Cao Cao's officers and officers have been severely constrained in recent years, but they have indeed gone a long way in developing legion talents.

"Yan Xing, the rear will provide you with clouds that you can transform, and you go to block Bakza." Cao Cao motioned Cao Zhen to sit down. Cao Zhen was not needed at this time, and turned to look at Yan Xing who was slacking off.

"No problem." Yan Xing nodded and said, without any expression or excitement. He was like an outsider under Cao Cao's command, because in essence, he was not under Cao Cao's command. Liangzhou was rich in order evil and neutral evil guys, and in this environment, it was quite outrageous for Yan Xing to grow up as a neutral good guy.

After standing up and saluting, Yan Xing took the order and walked outside. He put on his hat and quickly disappeared in the rain. With Yan Xing's current combat effectiveness, if he led the legion, if he provided enough clouds that he could transform, Yan Xing's legion could rank among the top fifteen in the world in single combat and delay.

Especially in the past few years, he has studied his legion's talent well, and has a more accurate understanding of how to move clouds and the essence of heaven and earth, and his actual combat ability has been greatly improved.

"General, are we going to rescue now?" Yan Xing came to the barracks, and the guard wearing a straw raincoat and a hat asked immediately.

"No, go and expel Bakza, let the brothers move around, drink some ginger sugar water to warm up, and then prepare to set off. Let the fire burn more and drink it when we come back." Yan Xing said calmly. Cao Cao produces sugar here, even if it is to supply Rome, the rest is enough to serve as military supplies.

And for things like ginger sugar water, with the physical fitness of the soldiers under Yan Xing's command, drinking two large cups after the battle to drive away the cold will basically prevent any illness.

Nowadays, human quality has been greatly improved, and microorganisms and viruses seem to have been strengthened, so we still have to pay attention to what we should pay attention to. Things like non-combat casualties should be reduced if they can be reduced.

"We have brothers who have been keeping an eye on Bakza here before, and they should be back in a while." Yang Qiu, who was in charge of scouts, quickly came to report after Yan Xing beat the drum and went to the tent. To be honest, Yang Qiu was somewhat skeptical about the intelligence from Lao Cao.

Of course, this is not to doubt that the investigators did not try their best, but to doubt that Lao Cao concealed the information about people who were not from the Cao and Xiahou families. After all, since the last incident when his wife's family was killed, Yang Qiu felt that Lao Cao was a person who needed to be guarded against.

Although normal people have different moral requirements for friends, superiors and monarchs, for friends, of course, they hope that their friends will pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, be gentle, respectful, frugal and modest, loyal, filial, honest, shameful and brave. For superiors, generally speaking, ability is required more than morality. They can discuss the matter, pay salaries on time, and deliver on the cake they draw. On the moral level, they just need to be a person.

As for the moral requirements for the monarch, Yang Qiu said that they had no moral requirements for the monarch before. As long as the monarch can bring benefits to everyone and make everyone well fed and clothed, they have no requirements for the monarch in other aspects, even if the monarch is not a human being in terms of morality.

This is also the reason why they can accept Cao Cao's leadership - no matter how many moral problems Cao Cao has, Cao Cao has fulfilled the cakes and promises he made for them. Following Cao Cao does bring benefits, so they follow Cao Cao.

However, the last incident was too much for Yang Qiu. The whole family of my father-in-law was wiped out overnight. Damn, even if the monarch does not require morality, you are too much!

Considering that the Cao family and the Xiahou family led the team to do such things, they did not die in their entire families, but other families died in their entire families. This is the fucking reason why I don't require the monarch to be moral. At least the monarch should be fair to the people. It turns out that the Xiahou family and the Cao family are human beings, and we are not human beings?

From then on, Yang Qiu and others were on guard against Cao Cao, and they explored a lot of military intelligence themselves, so as not to be used as bait to build merits for Cao and Xiahou.

"Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, the four of you go to organize the troops first, with the elite troops of this unit in the front, and be prepared for the assault." Yan Xing did not think there was anything wrong with Yang Qiu's caution. Everyone is not a fool, okay? Not to mention that they have their own little thoughts, the minimum precautions should be taken.

Soon, the scouts under Yang Qiu sent the detailed investigation content. Sure enough, in addition to Bakza, there was also Fares who built a dammed lake there, but Fares was far away. But according to Bakza's strength and relying on the terrain, even if the Han army sent people there, it would be impossible to capture it in a short time, and it is very likely that Fares would attack from behind.

"It's not a big problem. We are not going there in person. Let's drive Bakza away first." Yan Xing's expression remained unchanged after receiving the information. Yang Qiu and others also agreed. Then a group of people quickly went from the west side of Kandahar to the north side where Bakza was in the heavy rain.

Because of the rain, the marching speed of both sides and the speed of information transmission have obviously decreased, and even the intensity of the battle has been greatly affected.

"The Han army sent a reorganized corps to Bakza." Tawasdes informed Ardashir as soon as he received the information.

"Only one reorganized corps was sent?" Ardashir frowned. This was quite different from the results he wanted. Under Tawasdes's advice, he was ready to withdraw, but before withdrawing, he wanted to get some merits from Cao Cao to stabilize his own army.

"Yes, there is only one reorganized legion." Tavasdes nodded and said, "This is an opportunity. The enemy has a high probability of detecting the existence of Fares, but they certainly can't think that our goal is just to eat up a legion and withdraw, so they will definitely not consider that we will directly abandon this high ground. In this case, send the main force from here, attack from three sides, and directly take down the enemy."

Tavasdes's heart is not heavy. He knows very well the capital in Ardashir's hands. Although there are dozens of good generals and tens of thousands of troops, it is absolutely not advisable to fight with consumption with this little force. If you can seize the opportunity to eat up Cao Cao's legion with a slight loss, don't delay.

A little bit can be eliminated. If you destroy a legion today and defeat a legion tomorrow, Cao Cao's power will naturally weaken. A large-scale battle can be fought, but it cannot be fought at this time. Now squatting outside Kandahar City has indeed greatly boosted the morale of the army, but it can't get any substantial benefits. Moreover, with this rainfall, Tavasdes, who was born in the former Parthian royal family, is somewhat worried.

"Can we surround the city and attack the reinforcements?" Ardashir said after thinking for a while. He really had no way to take Kandahar City now. Although the heavy rain gave Ardashir a chance, it also prevented Ardashir from attacking the city. After mobilizing most of the main forces, only one legion of Cao Cao was annihilated. Ardashir was somewhat disappointed.

"It is not recommended to do this. It is more appropriate to fight quickly and decisively. I don't think this can deceive Cao Cao. I can only say that the other party is actually betting on this possibility. Even the legion released now is bait." Tavasdes said very directly.

Bait can also be eaten, as long as the technique is ingenious, just like some games of passing the flower, knowing that it is robbing Peter to pay Paul, as long as you enter the game early and exit early, you can also make money. As for the later fraud and being cheated to death, it has nothing to do with the previous things.

Tavasdes estimated that Cao Cao should have some doubts about Bakza. After all, he had already built a barrier lake before, and if he really wanted to play, he would play it in the upper reaches. It would be more difficult for Cao Cao to stop it after receiving the news. Why should he deliberately go to the range where Cao's army can detect it?

This plan has other reasons at first glance, and Tavasdes would not think that the Han army is mentally retarded, so the legion that came out at this time is most likely a bait.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it is not a hard-core three-talent, this legion that ran out, with Ardashir's current configuration, will definitely kill it before the opponent's main force arrives.

"Can't you get more?" Ardashir frowned. He always trusted Tavasdes. After all, this is the only military advisor he can show off.

"If you are willing to waste time here, there may be better opportunities later, but we can't delay any longer. We must return to the Kabul Valley as soon as possible. The current rainfall is too exaggerated. According to what I have learned from the locals, as long as Kandahar floods, Kabul will also flood." Tawasdes tried his best to persuade Ardashir to retreat to the Kabul Valley.

"Although the flood in Kandahar is exaggerated, it is not serious to be honest." Ardashir frowned and said, "What's more, there is a big river in Kabul. When the rain flows down, the situation should be better than in Kandahar."

"That's just our speculation. No one knows the actual situation. So it's better to transfer the main force back to Kabul for garrison at this time. Once a flood really breaks out, we will have time for disaster relief." Tawasdes tried his best to persuade.

What Ardashir said is actually correct. If it is a regular flood, it does conform to the logic of what Ardashir said, but what Beigui is experiencing now is not a regular flood.

"You have already sent someone to inform Tulansha to keep an eye on the Kabul River, and send people to report every day as much as possible. Although the Kabul River has risen, it has not reached the warning value. According to the notice from the Kushan side, there is still some time for the rainfall in Kandahar. Let's wait a little longer, maybe we can really get a chance." Ardashir looked at Tawasdes with hesitation.

What is the opportunity? The opportunity is that Ardashir asked Nihawen to rely on the fortress built by Cao Cao upstream to intercept the river channel of the Helmand River, forming a huge barrier lake. When the flood accumulates to a certain level, it will be blown up. In a short time, the flood may reach the same level as Kandahar City. At that time, the small boats prepared by Ardashir for transporting supplies will have meaning.

Of course, this is because Ardashir did not know the existence of Dam No. 1. When the Sang family built the irrigation area in the lower reaches of the Helmand River, they considered floods. Although they were quite worried at the time, the dam to intercept the river water was still built.

This is also the reason why the water in the upper reaches of the river is more abundant and fuller. Therefore, when the time comes, the No. 1 dam will be blown up, and the flood released by the barrier lake will also drop quickly. As for the loss, the downstream irrigation area was eaten up by the locust plague before, and it was flooded, which is actually nothing.

But before knowing this thing, this move is undoubtedly an opportunity to capture Kandahar City and let Ardashir ascend to heaven from trapped dragons, attacking or defending.

"General, what is the level of Kandahar City's water conservancy facilities? I recently asked the guards to take me to check it out. Its flood control level is even higher than that of Ctesiphon. What is the level of our water conservancy facilities in Kabul? How much worse than Ctesiphon, don't you know?" Tawasdes's voice rose eight degrees, and Ardashir was silent for a long time after hearing it.

This kind of thing is the real accumulation of technology. The Sang family dares to guarantee with nine clans that even if a big flood really happens, as long as they don't mess up the barrier lake, they can guarantee that Kandahar will be fine, the irrigation area will be fine, and even if a large barrier lake really appears, the Sang family dares to guarantee that as long as they blow up the No. 1 dam and sacrifice hundreds of thousands of acres of plantations to discharge the flood, they can also guarantee that Kandahar will never be flooded.

Can Kabul guarantee it? No!

Ardashir doesn't have such talents. The talents who are engaged in water conservancy and water network were either dead or captured by Rome when the Parthian Empire was destroyed.

"Then retreat?" Ardashir was silent for a long time and decided to respect Tavasdes's advice. After all, this guy's judgment has never been wrong.

"Retreat, General, if you want to destroy the legion leaving the city before you leave, just press the main force of the army directly, and you take the remaining hundreds of people of the Holy Death Knight as the vanguard, and fight quickly and decisively." Seeing Ardashir's resignation, Tavasdes quickly spoke.

Ardashir sighed upon hearing this, and looked across the felt tent at the place where Kandahar was, and then adjusted his mentality in an instant. Since he was going to retreat, he should leave quickly. He was always resolute and decisive in doing things, and he would never hesitate.

This was also one of Ardashir's most outstanding qualities. He could always make the best choice among the few choices, and Tavasdes could always find a few good choices for Ardashir in desperate situations. The two cooperated with each other, so that although Ardashir's situation was bad, it was indeed developing upward.

"Then follow your plan and collect a reorganized corps of the Han army before leaving." Ardashir ordered Tavasdes, "Quick battle, start arranging people to clean up the camp now, retreat to the upper reaches of the Helmand River first, meet with Nihawen, and then retreat to Kabul."

Ardashir acted quickly, but the mobilization of officers and soldiers in the heavy rain still wasted some time. It was because of this little time difference that the scouts who were staring at Ardashir's camp found something wrong.

"Xu Yuan, what did you say?" Tian Zhong's expression became extremely solemn as he looked at the investigation content reported by Xu Yuan. He is no longer a centurion now. At the end of the year before last, during the administration of Cao Ang, he promoted meritorious centurions such as Tian Zhong and promoted Tian Zhong to the level of military Sima. This is also the reason why Tian Zhong did not leave afterwards. Now Tian Zhong is in charge of intelligence.

"I don't feel right. The movement from Ardashir looks like the whole army is going out." Xu Yuan expressed his judgment. He has a special elite talent for reconnaissance. Even heavy rain cannot block his reconnaissance ability. In addition, he is skilled and brave, and he is close to the enemy, so the situation he reconnaissance is different from that of others.

"The whole army is going out?" Tian Zhong has participated in the war since the Yellow Turban era. According to his age, he should have retired long ago. He has experienced various wars and is very experienced. Just after listening to Xu Yuan's reconnaissance description, his expression became very solemn. According to his intuition and experience, it looks like they are going to run!

"Has our army been dispatched on a large scale recently?" Tian Zhong looked at Xu Yuan and asked. He was just an intelligence outlet and did not go out himself, so he didn't know much about the outside world.

"General Yan led his troops to attack." Xu Yuan replied quickly.

It's the last day of double. If you have votes, please vote. The author is really miserable. Sigh
