Chapter 6725 Testing people’s hearts

When Zhuge Liang sent people to Kandahar for on-the-spot investigation, the flooding in Kandahar had already reached a serious level. When Cao Cao built Kandahar, the ceramic sewer pipes built under the city not only stopped flowing, but even leaked out.

.

Less than half of the entire Kandahar city has been submerged in water, and the main force of Ardashir is stationed on the high ground outside the city. If we look at the situation alone, Cao Cao's situation is obviously unfavorable.

You look like your destiny is exploding.

However, things are quite different from what Zhuge Liang and others thought. That is, AI Cao Sikong really didn't want to do anything wrong this time. Even after receiving Zhuge Liang's warning, he even issued a warning to the people of Kandahar in advance to prevent heavy rains.

.

But it was useless. This heavy rain was essentially the result of the three empires suppressing the astronomical phenomena.

According to the Indian Ocean monsoon, there should be a certain amount of precipitation here in June, but normally this precipitation will not be very large.

The special nature of the Blazing Sky Ring disrupting the global climate meant that the theoretical precipitation in the Beigui region this year should have increased significantly, causing certain floods. However, in order to kill the Locust Sky, the three empires destroyed this monsoon carrying moist rain.

It was locked in the Indian Ocean and was not launched until now.

The monsoon blowing to the north came a full two months later than before. Its intensity also increased significantly because it had been brewing in the Indian Ocean for a longer time, and the amount of rain it carried became even more outrageous. In this case, Zhuge Liang asked people to do something.

There are actually quite a few errors in the climate inferences about the Beigui region.

The previous speculations were actually based on the overall impact of the Blazing Sky Ring on the world's climate. However, the climate problem faced by the Beigui region now is not just a problem of the Blazing Sky Ring. In fact, there are three major empires that have fixed the celestial phenomena for a long time.

Celestial reversal problem.

This is actually an issue that the climate committee of the three empires has banned Severus from messing around with again, because no one can say for sure whether large-scale fixed celestial phenomena will continue to cause more serious climate problems, but for now, Beigui

Judging from the situation, it will definitely happen.

In short, the current situation is very clear. AI Cao Cao will not be dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's plan because of emotions. Pure rationality allows him to choose the most correct answer and notify the people under his rule in advance. But again, Beigui

Floods rarely occur. Even when the Han Dynasty rebuilt the city here, they built sewers according to the local conditions, but they have not been used for so many years.

The descendants of the local Dayue clan were even confused about the floods Cao Cao mentioned, because most people here may have never seen floods in their lives. This is also the reason why Altay was very confused when Guan Yu sent out the Seventh Army.

, most people here have never seen floods.

So even though Cao Cao issued the correct order, when the heavy rain came, Cao Cao's rule still fell into chaos. The brothers in Beigui said that this was the first time in their lives that they had seen water pouring from the sky.

Outrageous!

However, regardless of whether it is outrageous or not, Kandahar is really flooded. As for what Zhuge Liang and others think about changing the weather, it is pure nonsense. This is a climate problem caused by the three empires working together. Even if they have to deal with it,

It takes at least the size of an empire to delay. With the few people under Cao Cao's command, even the best sky-changing players are useless in the face of such a super disaster climate. Xun Yu is just short of a general.

The mental reserves of the bureaucrats have been drained to no avail.

Because it is impossible to block the monsoon from the front, it is impossible to push the monsoon to the Himalayas faster. Now the rain can only develop naturally according to the direction of the monsoon. Moreover, because of the earlier misjudgment by Xun Yu and others, they thought they could

Blocking this wave of monsoon, the explosive sky changes caused the monsoon to stay in Kandahar for a few days, and then the sky seemed to have leaked.

In short, due to some strange combination of circumstances, Kandahar is now in such a state of disgrace that the city is about to be submerged.

"Now we can only make mistakes and make mistakes."

Seeing the hope of conquering Kandahar, Ardashir firmly entrenched himself here, and then waited until the water flooded Kabul!

"But if we continue like this, we won't have much time left. The rainfall has greatly reduced the morale of our army." Chen Qun said with a rather gloomy face, "And after the rainfall in Kandahar,

The temperature has dropped very sharply, and our army has certain problems with thermal insulation and waterproof materials. The only advantage is probably that Ardashir will not take the initiative to attack now."

The reason why Aldashir didn't take the initiative was because the rain was too heavy. If you take the initiative, you have to face this kind of buff. It's better to grind on the opposite mountain, wait for the heavy rain and flood to end, and then rush over directly, leaving Cao Cao unable to do anything.

After carrying out rescue operations against floods, the plague and turmoil that followed would most likely allow Ardashir to seize the opportunity to capture Kandahar.

However, Chen Qun and others are not worried about the latter, because the monsoon blows from the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas, so when it starts to rain in Kandahar, Kabul cannot escape it. Even the water conservancy equipment in Kandahar cannot stop the waterlogging, and Kabul cannot avoid it.

, in a place like Ardassil without any flood control facilities, the problem will only become more serious.

After all, the descendants of the Dayue clan and the Parthian people in Northern Guizhou rarely see floods. This is the same reason why the housing construction requirements of northern Chinese are very different from those of southern China. The general environment and climate they deal with are different, so

There are different needs in construction.

In other words, Cao Cao's Kandahar city was flooded like this even though it had sewers. How would it be flooded in Kabul where there was no sewers?

Therefore, in terms of victory, Kandahar is still confident. It can be said that as long as they survive this wave of heavy rain, they can win a wave of victory for nothing. But the problem is that the rain is so heavy, and the agricultural losses are left aside.

The loss of personnel is enough to make Xun Yu's head heavy.

In a place like Beigui in the 21st century, an occasional major flood would cause hundreds of thousands of people to be affected by the disaster, basically wipe out hundreds of thousands to millions of acres of agricultural area, and drown hundreds of people.

In an era like the third century, when the gap in flood control methods was even more obvious, more people would have died.

Once more people died during the flood, the plague would inevitably occur after the flood stopped. The problem of the disease alone would be enough to make Cao Cao's forces numb. Considering that after the flood passed, Cao Cao would have to attack Kabul with all his strength to complete the task.

In addition to his own strategy, he also had to solve the follow-up problems of the flood disaster. Xun Yu's head grew more than three times.

"We need to form an epidemic prevention team and treatment personnel now. The rain should stop within ten days, and the situation may not be what we thought. There should be no time when Kandahar clears up and Aldashir wants to attack.

Only then did we receive the news that the rear area was flooded." Mao Jie said a little tiredly, "I'm afraid it won't work if we want to rely on destiny to achieve victory."

The scale of the monsoon is too large. There is no such thing as sweeping through Kandahar and then rushing to the Kabul Valley and letting Kandahar go. As far as the observation results of the climate personnel on Cao Cao's side are concerned, there is a high probability that Kandahar and Kabul will be together by then.

The world is under one roof, that is, when it rains heavily in Kabul, the rainstorm in Kandahar has not yet ended, and both sides are being hammered.

This led to a very bad result, that is, when Ardashir received the news and retreated, if Cao Cao really wanted to fight, he would have to follow him in the rain. In short, this situation was very bad, and it was different from Xun before.

There is a huge difference in the situation estimated by Yu et al.

"I suggest giving up this plan." Chen Gong, who had been silent until now, slowly said, "When Kabul was hit by floods, the rain on our side did not stop, and Ardashir also retreated in the rain. We retreated in the rain.

Pursuit also carries the same risk, and more importantly, it is still a question of how many troops we can use at that time."

As he spoke, Chen Gong looked at Cao Ang, who was sitting first on the right, and the generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family who were under Cao Ang's head. In the current situation, it was impossible for Cao Cao to launch a large-scale army, and the scale was not large enough.

, if you want to implement the previous plan, the difficulty level will rise significantly.

Considering the current internal problems of Cao Cao's power, although it has been reduced due to heavy rains, floods and external enemies, it is still far from being completely eliminated.

Under such circumstances, if the key elites were mobilized to take risks, the losses would be unbearable if a mistake was made. Chen Gong, with a mentality of seeking stability, felt that there was no need to take this risk.

"The task of sending people to rescue is being done now. Three armies have been formed for rescue and disaster relief." Cao Ang swept the civil servants opposite him with a sharp light, and finally his eyes fell on his father. If he hadn't confirmed this over and over again,

The Bo disaster was a pure miscalculation, and Zhuge Liang's handwriting proved it. Cao Ang even doubted whether it was his father's fault and wanted to reunify the people under his rule.

After all, although the current situation is difficult, the original rifts under Cao Cao's rule are being healed at an alarming rate. Especially when Cao Cao ordered Cao Ang to rely on the backbone of the army to form an emergency rescue and disaster relief team, and even directly mobilized the regular army for rescue and disaster relief in the later stages. After sacrificing a small number of

After the soldiers were killed, he effectively rescued a large number of people under his rule and quickly stabilized people's hearts.

Even now, in addition to the scale of troops that need to be maintained for Kandahar city defense, as well as emergency rescue and defense forces, most of Cao Cao's legions have been deployed to carry out rescue operations. Xu Huang and Le Jin are not here, and Li Dian is now

It is local emergency rescue and disaster relief.

In other words, Cao Cao has now invested more than 50,000 regular troops and a large number of militiamen to rescue people, and social public opinion is improving at an alarming rate.

After carefully confirming that the incident was indeed an accident, Cao Ang inevitably had to think of something disrespectful - the AI ​​father seemed to be more reliable than the old father before, at least he would not hold him back.

"Except for leaving the necessary mobile troops and guard personnel, all others were sent to rescue." Cao Cao said slowly, with almost no expression on his face, and the luster in his eyes revealed a kind of pure rationality, "Xia Houyuan

, allocate 8,000 of the most elite men from each legion, and prepare to fortify the Kabul Valley after the rains in Kabul."

Chen Gong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cao Cao unconsciously. Cao Cao's judgment directly exceeded Chen Gong's estimate. It was said that he had made a suggestion, and Cao Cao should discuss it anyway. Unexpectedly, the other party was actually planning to take this opportunity to attack the Kabul Valley.

.

"This is an opportunity, Gongtai." Cao Cao said calmly, "Our current water conservancy facilities can't cope with this flood, let alone the Kabul Valley. I even doubt that the Kabul River will flood the entire valley.

It’s possible.”

Chen Gong nodded when he heard the words. Facts have no negative meaning. What Cao Cao said makes sense. Kandahar has been flooded like this. Kabul will only be worse. After all, the Kabul area is a river valley. What we will face when the time comes is

It’s not just rainfall in Kabul, but also floods from other mountainous areas that have accumulated in the past, and even subsequent mudslides are a matter of course.

"The number of people is too small, and it may not be able to withstand Ardashir." Cheng Yu said slowly, "If the Holy Death Cavalry attacks with all its strength, with a scale of eight thousand people, even if it depends on the terrain and Xuan Xiang, there is still a chance that the battle line will be breached

There is a possibility of being beheaded, and the size of the troops is not enough."

"That's enough." Cao Cao shook his head and said, "After ten days, we will swear to select generals who are willing to attack. There is no shortage of elite backbones in our army. What we lack is just elite backbones to fight for our army."

This may sound like a cold joke, but it is true. Some of the veterans under Cao Cao have participated in the Imperial War no less than the veterans on the Ganges River from the Yuanfeng Year to the present, and their actual combat effectiveness is actually not inferior to those of them.

Veterans, it's just that the mentality of both sides is different.

Most of the veterans on the Ganges side had the mentality of dying for Duke Xuande. As for the veterans on the Kandahar side, I was just here to make a living. When did Duke Xuande come over and recruit me?

Some of them were even more outrageous, and they were directly under Liu Bei. They came to Cao Cao just to observe what outrageous things Lao Cao, who was at a low moral level, could do.

In short, the situation of the main backbone of Cao Cao's command is the same as that of the generals and commanders under Kushan Karnak and Gars. They participated in the largest and longest imperial war, and they are still alive and kicking. Whether they are strong in combat effectiveness or not, let's put aside their experience.

It's definitely on par with actual combat.

It's just that when these brothers fight for Cao Cao, they basically have ten points of strength, using seven points, and the remaining three points are used to be ready to retreat or run away at any time, so that it seems that the generals under Cao Cao are not that powerful. In fact,

Who can fight the imperial war for so many years and still not die, how could there be a weak person.

It can only be said that this group of people never found a reason to fight for Lao Cao in the past. Comparing their feelings, everyone is not stupid, but they are fighting a nuclear war. Can big shots enter the nuclear shelter, but can ordinary launchers enter?

Therefore, even if a nuclear war occurs, it will not be possible to cover the whole world, because at that point, it will not be the so-called big people who determine the direction of human civilization, but the most numerous and least significant little people. After all, small people cannot enter the nuclear

Shelter.

To put it bluntly, San Shao is still assassinated by Luoyang people. Do you think Lao Cao was assassinated by Xuzhou people? It's the same reason.

Therefore, the soldiers who worked for Lao Cao basically had the attitude of being able to do whatever they wanted. After all, the soldiers under Lao Cao also knew what happened in Xuzhou.

When everyone enters a moral vacuum because of the troubled times, it doesn't matter if they do anything to survive. But if someone suppresses the troubled times and lifts morality so that ordinary people can survive, then the people will also consider it.

Do you think you should avenge your family members who died?

I didn't think about it before because I couldn't live anymore. I had tried my best to survive. Where did I have the time to think about this kind of thing? Now I have the time and energy to do it.

Soldiers who are ordinary people, when facing this kind of people, don't talk nonsense about empathy, just be direct and put a little bit of caution.

After all, these days, the people at the bottom know very clearly whose position they stand. If nothing else, they can at least clearly understand who is one of them like him. It is only natural that they risk their lives for Duke Xuande.

, risk your life for Lao Cao, forget it, let’s study where your dog can eat shit!

The fact is that it is so bad. From a certain point of view, the soldiers under Cao Cao are anti-Cao Cao. After all, with the development of the times, many things that have not been made public are gradually made public. These soldiers also know what Lao Cao did and what he did.

Whatever Liu Bei did, he naturally knew how to choose.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of Lao Cao's men has always been a mystery, because the longer they live, the more veterans know and the less they want to work for Cao Cao.

Normal Cao Cao is unable to realize this, because there are no common people in Cao Cao's eyes, but AI Cao Cao is purely rational and can judge these things from the value, so he has the current behavior of trying his best to save the people. Such behavior

Let those soldiers who have a rebellious mentality towards him realize the changes in Cao Cao on a conscious level while rescuing these people.

Again, there is no point in saying it a hundred times. You will know it once you experience it.

Therefore, AI Cao Cao estimates that if he wants to recruit a group of life-threatening legions this time, he should be able to recruit them. In addition to interests, there are also beliefs that make people willing to die. Compared with brave men who receive heavy rewards, for the sake of belief

The warrior who fights to the end is even more terrifying.

"I will personally lead the team then." Cao Cao said slowly, "I want to see if Ardashir will give up on the Parthian people in the flood!"

It’s hopeless, I can’t get up, I can’t get up at all, ah ah ah!
