chapter six hundred and fifty two.
Time passes, and people are on the side! In the past, the jar followed Cao Cao, and the war was calculated according to the sky! One day, how many miles a day the march was, where to settle down, and on which day the attack must be launched, and the enemy must be defeated!
But now! The war between Mr. Cao was really procrastinated. The war began in March. He was procrastinated under Tongguan until the end of July. Now he was considered to have entered Guanzhong. He started to touch and lose his work again through the Wei River! Three times in a row, Cao's army crossed the river and set up a stronghold on the south bank of the Wei River. However, when Ma Chao attacked, Cao's army immediately retreated. In a blink of an eye, it was procrastinated until December. In a blink of an eye, the sixteenth year of Jian'an was about to pass.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Wang Hou did admit that these people wearing armor had a large number of Qiang people fighting, and it seemed that they really absorbed the tactics of the First Roman Legion, which was brought to the east under Crassu's command, and the Liangzhou Army equipped with large javelin shields, had good combat effectiveness, but! With him, Wang Hou's Cao army, who had been transfusions for many years, was also not a weak brigade.
Especially! The way to win now is not on the battlefield! Behind Ma Chao, there are more than 40,000 cavalry soldiers alone. If Wang Hou was the commander, he would not confront Ma Chao at all. The cavalry would be scattered like locusts, sweeping the entire Guanzhong, and even robbing them to Liangzhou. The morale of the Guanzhong Allied Forces composed of ten units would be in chaos. Some would summon back to the army to save their hometowns, while others would insist on fighting on the front line, and perhaps they would have to fight themselves.
Unfortunately, it was his turn to carry his bag for the leader, and his father-in-law was still his father-in-law. Mr. Cao said he would not fight, so he could only obey the leader's command and squatted on the north bank of the Wei River.
The Cao army's slow-moving battles reflect the strength of the Cao army. Why did the wars be fought on day by day in the past? There was insufficient food, and if the troops were not sent as planned and the food would be exhausted. But now, within the empire, Wang Hou proposed that the military farming method presided over by Chen Qun had been widely used. Ma Chao also had the idea that Cao Cao would withdraw his troops when the autumn food was gone, but he did not know that the continuous autumn food was being imported from the Hedong Line to the Guanzhong battlefield. After a few years of fighting, Cao Cao's Hedong Warehouse would not lose.
Now it’s not that uncomfortable to fight in the middle of winter. Each person has a big cotton jacket, Hedong is next to Jindi, and it is also a coal-producing area. You can order a small iron stove in the tent, and even roast some canned fish on the fire and cook some pearl milk tea. Of course, this is limited to the Liaodong Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The large number of Cao army infantry still do not have such good food.
The most difficult thing to appease is the Xianbei people. After all, it was a long two or three months before going south to plunder and fight, but this year, it was the New Year's Eve! Wang Hou had to spend a lot of money to implement the laws, bread and entertainment in the "Roman Total War"! Poker cards are enough, and Xianbei people who don't go out to execute military orders can stay in their tents to play poker and kill time.
The wine is limited to supply, and you should manage as much as possible. At least in Guihua City, you have to spend money to drink, and you will follow the war, and you will not spend money to drink! The two Zheng Ce, as a member of the Qingqi Xianbei, are quite comfortable.
There is another consequence that Wang Hou could not imagine, that is, playing cards, and Landlords spread like a plague.
Seeing the Xianbei people playing, Cao's army, who was idle in other battalions, also came to play poker. On the other side of the river, Yang Qiujun burned the catapult for a card fight. This not only did not ban the playing cards in the Guanzhong army, but instead, because of this trouble, the cards were widely publicized.
Squatting on the reed marsh by the Wei River, holding a telescope to peek at the other side of the river. The Liangzhou Army, in a more difficult situation, had several large shields put together, and it was a simple windproof hut of Beiye. She sat cross-legged in the center of gravity of the shield. Six or seven people were watching the battle there, three officials spitting there, and a strong Liangzhou accent cursing and playing cards made of swaying tree bark.
Wang Hou was so dizzy that he saw it.
However, the telescope lens jumped over the riverside patrolmen who were not doing their jobs and looked further away, but it was a desolation that caught my eye.
It is said that harsh government is stronger than tigers! It is true! This is Guanzhong! In the Middle Ages, it was considered the most prosperous piece of land in China, and it nurtured the Qin Empire! The ability of Emperor Gaozu of Han to capture the world was also related to the strong support of the elders of Guanzhong. But now, the once prosperous Chang'an Jincai, there is no complete village at the sight, leaving only ruins. The traces of warfare left by the warlords after the Dong Zhuo Rebellion are still clearly visible. The fertile 800-mile Guanzhong and the famous Zheng Guoqu are all deserted.
If this is picked up again and forged into an outpost to the West with the Western Regions, making Guanzhong as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, it would really take time and a lot of money!
"General!" 52 Literature
Just as Wang Hou looked at him solemnly and Liaodong Standard grinned, a shout came from behind. Turning back, wearing neat armor, the staff officer Deng Ai jogged over quickly.
"The Guanzhong bandits sent envoys to come. General Wuqiu asked you to return to the camp quickly!"
This one was very uncomfortable with Wang Hou. The other one was probably not feeling well. She snorted coldly in her heart. She put away Wang Yuan's mirror, and Wang Hou immediately jumped out of the reed marsh.
"lead the way!"
…………
Although it is a coalition force of ten families, whoever has the best fists and has the strongest voice. This time, there are only two envoys, one Ma Chao and one Han Sui.
And now, they didn't come to seek peace, but to seek war! Before Wang Hou could enter the tent, he could hear someone roaring and yelling there.
"The Prime Minister mentioned more than 100,000 powerful troops in the Central Plains and tens of thousands of cavalry. When he arrived at our fertile field in Guanzhong, he did not dare to respond for a battle. This is really a ridiculous thing for the world!"
"If you don't dare to fight, why did the Prime Minister come all the way back to his old nest in Yecheng and enjoy the wine pool and meat forest?"
"Yesterday, my lord, Ma Ming, was singing with his sword. Cao Mengde came to the west, and the army of 100,000 is more timid than the chicken!"
These days, it’s really poor to swear. After talking for a long time, I can only show off a chicken! If it were Wang Hou, I would point at the old man Cao Cao, grin and curse: The old turtle, Cao Laogou, have the courage to fight with me alone! If I don’t have the courage, I will quickly shrink back to the doghouse to play with you!
I entered the tent with the regret of not being scolded for being scolded. Who knew that the first time I saw him, the man was so scolding that he foamed at the mouth. Ma Chao's envoy, Chengdu Yu, was targeting him, Wang again.
He looked disdainful and his head was high, and he looked at Wang Hou with a look of his light. This guy hummed proudly.
"Tsk! It turns out that he is the short-sighted General Wang! I am also curious, and I don't even understand the principle of losing my lips and cold teeth. How did the general create such a great foundation? He entered Cao Gong to attack my general. General Wang led the way and was willing to be a front-hand man and a dog on his knees! If my general is defeated, Cao Gong will take you Liaodong again in the future! How can General Wang resist?"
"I'm afraid that the general will be decapitated in the future, it will be too late to regret it!"
Not to mention, this old guy is really sinister, and he is so angry that he will be sowed and distracted when he comes up. He is using his lips and teeth to be cold. No matter how close Wang Hou and Mr. Cao are, he is now a small warlord who starts his own business. These words are quite provocative. At least, Mr. Cao, who has just been scolded for a long time, his face changes slightly. Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and others can't help but jump twice.
However, before Mr. Cao could make a statement to smooth things over, a sneer rose from the corner of Wang Hou's mouth. Oh my god, I really forgot how I scolded Lu Bu back then?
