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 a flood of this magnitude, and the flood in the Kabul area 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, which has never experienced 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 over a month, so it is very likely that when the floods broke out in Kabul, the rainfall here had not stopped yet."
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 direction of the monsoon, if there is a slight decrease trend in the following days,
, then the judgment of our climate experts should be fine."
"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 not be enough."
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.
, requiring the villages in the northwest of Kandahar to be relocated as soon as possible.”
The legion attack is very useful, especially if the top legion has no cloud energy suppression. There is no problem in blowing up the mountain in a short time. The only trouble is that this method directly blows up the mountain. Without enough technical ability, the collapsed mountain is still blocked in place.
, will create new problems, but now a large-scale mudslide occurred on the northern line, heading towards Kandahar. Xu Huang made the immediate 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 blocking direction of the debris flow also quickly formed large-scale water accumulation in that area. According to the degree and height of the blockage, as well as the current exaggerated rainfall,
, in less than a day, a barrier lake will be formed here.
So 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 repeatedly told 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 randomly blow up mountains 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 flood in Kandahar can definitely be withstood, and the loss of lives 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, the act of bombing 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 relied on the construction of water conservancy facilities in the lower reaches of the Helmand River and built millions of acres of fertile farmland. This group of people considered the issue of flood control during the construction, and
The margin is quite sufficient.
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 resulted in the current situation in Kandahar City being worse than in 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. When the emergency report was received, he sent troops to rescue.
, at this time, there is no hope of relying on the people and local governments to save people. The only option is to join the army, which is fast and professional enough.
Xia Houyuan stood up and bowed, went out, picked up his bamboo hat and rushed out. There was nothing he could do, now Ardashir 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 are sayings that bandits are as good as combs and soldiers are as good as grates, generally speaking, we are talking about troubled times. In prosperous times, it is normal behavior for the local 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 could not be blocked, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized the army to block the water. If the flooded areas could not be stopped, the army would have to be mobilized.
By the way, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized his army to stop the floods in the Yellow River, Sima Qian rarely stopped talking nonsense and gave Emperor Wu of the Han a very high evaluation.
Therefore, what Cao Cao is doing now can be regarded as following the old routine, which is quite acceptable. In addition, the soldiers at the bottom are all locals, so 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 extremely low.
It is so big that it will block the Helmand River Valley. It is estimated that it will take about ten days." Not long after Xia Houyuan rushed out, the scouts who were conducting reconnaissance in the rain came back with a piece of news that made Cao Cao very angry. Bakza was building a barrier lake.
.
"I organized people to go over and repel Bakza." Zhang Xiu stood up and said. He couldn't help here, so he might as well fight Bakza.
"Now that it's raining heavily, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will lose 30% of its 100% combat effectiveness. You may not be able to get any benefits by leading the Xiliang Iron Cavalry over there." Cao Cao shook his head and said.
Bakza's subordinates are pure infantry. Although he has led cavalry before, his inner structure and talent composition are more suitable for infantry. The purpose of leading cavalry before was more to quickly withdraw from Central Asia. Really
Considering combat effectiveness, Bakza led the infantry to perform more stably.
In this case, Zhang Xiu led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry over. Although he could gain some advantage by relying on the legion's talent, the overall situation was not favorable to Zhang Xiu.
"I'll bring people over." Cao Zhen raised his brows. When it comes to dealing with infantry, his mixed legions are more powerful. Whether it's the flail heavy infantry who use heavy weapons to rush in front, or the small number of sharp soldiers who cover the two wings, they can quickly attack them.
The solution to a single infantry corps.
In order to develop the talent of Cao Zhen's legion, he finally took the route of taking into account all three aspects. There was no other way. The situation of Lao Cao was really bad in recent years. The generals under Cao Cao calmed down and studied the development direction of their legion's talent when there was nothing important.
If you are proficient in depth, you need to fight against powerful enemies, and then continuously optimize and strengthen it. But if you develop in a broad direction, you only need to slowly study and verify it.
This is also the reason why Xu Huang's atmospheric deflection developed a large number of small skills. The generals on Cao Cao's side have been severely constrained in recent years, but they have indeed gone a long way in developing the talents of the legion.
"Yan Xing, the rear will provide you with cloud energy that you can transform. You go and block Bakza." Cao Cao motioned to Cao Zhen to sit down. Cao Zhen was not needed at this time, so he turned to Yan Xing, who was fishing on the side.
"No problem." Yan Xing nodded and said, neither expressive nor excited. He was like an outsider under Cao Cao, because essentially, he was not under Cao Cao. Liangzhou is rich in order and evil.
And a guy who is neutral and evil, and in this environment, it is quite outrageous for a guy like Yan Xing to grow up who is neutral and good.
After standing up and saluting, Yan Xing took the order and walked outside. He put on his bamboo hat when he went out and quickly disappeared into the rain. Yan Xing's current combat effectiveness, if he leads the army, will provide enough cloud energy for him to transform.
, Yan Xingjun's duel, delay can be ranked among the top fifteen in the world.
Especially in the past few years, I have studied my legion talents carefully, and have a more accurate understanding of how to move cloud energy and heaven and earth essence, and my actual combat ability has been greatly improved.
"General, are we going to rescue now?" Yan Xing came to the military camp, and the guard wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat asked immediately.
"No, go and expel Bakza, let the brothers move around, drink some ginger sugar water to warm up, and then get ready to leave. Let the fire burn a little longer and drink when you come back." Yan Xing said calmly, Cao Cao produces sugar here.
, even if it needs to be supplied to Rome, the rest is enough to be used as military supplies.
As for things like ginger syrup, given the current physical fitness of the soldiers under Yan Xing's command, if they drink two large cups after the battle to drive away the cold, they will basically not get sick.
Nowadays, the quality of human beings has greatly improved, and microorganisms and viruses seem to have also strengthened, so we still need to pay attention to some things. Non-combat attrition should be reduced if possible.
"We have brothers here who have been watching Bakza before. They should be back in a while." Yang Qiu, who was in charge of the scout, quickly came to report after Yan Xing beat the drum to raise the tent. As for the information from Lao Cao,
To be honest, Yang Qiu was somewhat skeptical.
Of course, this is not a suspicion that the investigators are not trying their best, but a suspicion that Lao Cao has concealed information about non-Cao and Xiahou people. After all, after experiencing the last incident where his wife’s family was killed and the whole family was killed, Yang Qiu felt that Lao Cao
You have to be careful about this person.
Although normal people have different moral requirements for friends, bosses and monarchs. For friends, of course, they hope that friends will pay attention to benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, gentleness, courtesy, thrift, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame and courage. For bosses, generally speaking, ability is more important than morality.
It's enough if you can discuss matters, pay on time, and honor the pie you draw. In terms of morality, it's enough if you are an individual.
As for the moral requirements for the monarch, Yang Qiu said that they had no moral requirements for the monarch in the past. As long as the monarch can bring benefits to everyone and keep everyone fed and clothed, they have no requirements for the monarch in other aspects. Even if the monarch has a moral level
Not everyone can do it.
This is also the reason why they can accept Cao Cao's leadership - no matter how many moral problems Cao Cao has, the cakes Cao Cao drew for them and the promises he made should be fulfilled. Following Cao Cao will indeed bring benefits to them, so
They follow Cao Cao.
However, what happened last time was too ridiculous for Yang Qiu. The father-in-law's family disappeared overnight. Damn it, even if the monarch does not require morality, you have gone too far!
Considering that the Cao family and the Xiahou family led a team to do this kind of thing, the whole family was not killed, but the other families were killed. I don’t ask the monarch to be moral. At least the monarch must be fair. Co-authored by Xiahou
The Cao family and the Cao family are human beings, but we are not human beings?
From then on, Yang Qiu and others were wary of Lao Cao, and investigated a lot of military information themselves to avoid being used as bait for the Cao family and the Xiahou family to build their merits.
"Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan, the four of you will organize your troops first, with your elite troops at the front, and prepare for the assault." Yan Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with Yang Qiu's caution.
Okay, you fool. Not to mention that you have some little thoughts of your own, but you should still have the most basic precautions.
Soon the scouts under Yang Qiu's command sent over the detailed investigation contents. As expected, in addition to Bakza, there were also Fares who were building the barrier lake there. However, Fares was far away, but according to Bakza's instructions,
Due to its strength and terrain, even if the Han army sent people over, it would be impossible to capture it in a short time. It was very likely that Fares would bypass it and launch a flanking attack.
"It's not a big problem. We're not going up in person. We're going to expel Bakza first." After Yan Xing received the information, his expression remained unchanged. Yang Qiu and others also said so, and then a group of people quickly braved the heavy rain from the west side of Kandahar.
Go to the north side where Bakza is.
Because of the rain, the marching speed of both sides and the speed of information transmission have dropped significantly, and even the intensity of the battle has been greatly affected.
"The Han army sent a reorganized army to Bakza." Tavasdes immediately informed Ardashir after receiving the information.
"Only one reorganized legion was sent?" Ardashir frowned. This was quite different from the result he wanted. After Tavasdes' advice, he was ready to withdraw, but after
Before withdrawing, he wanted to obtain some more meritorious deeds from Cao Cao that would be enough to stabilize his own military morale.
"Yes, there is only one reorganized legion." Tavasdes nodded and said, "This is an opportunity. The other party has a high probability of detecting the existence of Fales, but they certainly didn't expect that our goal is just to eat one legion.
Just withdraw, so we will definitely not consider that we will directly abandon this high ground. In this case, we will send the main force from here to attack from three sides and directly capture the opponent."
Tavasdes is not serious. He is very clear about the capital Ardashir has. Although there are dozens of good generals and tens of thousands of troops, it is absolutely not advisable to waste this small amount of strength. If you seize the opportunity, you can use it with a weak
The losses can eat away at Cao Cao's entire legion, so don't delay.
What can be eliminated is a point. If you destroy one legion today and defeat another legion tomorrow, Cao Cao's power will naturally weaken day by day. You can fight the big battle, but you can't fight it at this time. Now squatting outside Kandahar City, it is really extremely difficult.
It greatly boosted the morale of the army, but no real benefits could be obtained. Moreover, the amount of rainfall made Tavasdes, who was born in the former Parthian royal family, somewhat worried.
"Can we surround the area and call for reinforcements?" Aldashir thought for a while and then said. He really had no way to attack Kandahar City now. Although the heavy rain gave Aldashir a chance, the heavy rain also prevented Aldashir from attacking the city.
After using most of the main force, only one of Cao Cao's legions was wiped out. Ardashir was somewhat disappointed.
"It is not recommended to do this. A quick battle is more appropriate. 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 a bait." Tavas
Des said very directly.
Bait can also be eaten, as long as the technique is clever, just like some drumming and flower-passing games, you can still make money as long as you enter early and exit early, knowing that you are tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
If it turns out to be a scam or something like that, then it has nothing to do with the previous matter.
Tavasdes estimated that Cao Cao should have doubts about Bakza. After all, it was done before the barrier lake was built, and if it really wanted to be played, it would be more difficult for Cao Cao to receive the news and stop it if it was further upstream. Why bother?
Deliberately within the range that Cao Jun can detect.
There are other reasons for this plan at first glance. In addition, Tavasdes will not hold the idea that the Han army is mentally retarded, so the legion coming out at this time is most likely to be a decoy.
But it doesn't matter. As long as they don't fight against the three talents, the legion that comes out will definitely be able to kill the opponent's main force before they arrive with Aldashir's current configuration.
"Can't we get more?" Ardashir frowned. He had always trusted Tavasdes. After all, he was the only strategist under his command who could do anything.
"If you are willing to waste time here, there may be better opportunities later, but we can't delay it and return to the Kabul Valley as soon as possible. The current rainfall is too exaggerated. According to what I learned from the locals,
"As long as Kandahar floods, Kabul will also flood." Tavasdes tried his best to persuade Ardashir to retreat to the Kabul Valley.
"Although the floods in Kandahar are exaggerated, they are actually not serious." Aldashir frowned and said, "What's more, there is a big river in Kabul. When the rainwater flows down the river, the situation should be worse than in Kandahar.
Better."
"That's just our speculation. None of us know what the actual situation is, so it's best to transfer the main force back to Kabul to garrison at this time. Once a flood really breaks out, we also have time for rescue and disaster relief." Tavasdes said.
Possible persuaded.
What Aldashir said is actually correct. In terms of regular floods, it is indeed in line with the logic Aldashir said, but what Beigui is experiencing now is actually not a regular flood.
"Before, you have sent people to inform Turansha to keep an eye on the Kabul River, and sent people to report every day as much as possible. Although the water in the Kabul River has risen, it has not reached the warning level. According to the notification from Kushan, Kandahar
There is still some time for rain here. If we wait a little longer, we might really get the chance." Ardashir looked at Tavasdes hesitantly.
What is the chance? The chance is that Aldashir asked Nihaven to rely on the fortress built by Cao Cao in the upper reaches to intercept the channel of the Helmand River and form a huge barrier lake. When the flood reaches a certain level, this thing can be blown up.
Well, in a short period of time the flood may reach the same level as Kandahar City, and then the small boats Ardashir prepared to transport supplies will make sense.
Of course, this is because Ardashir did not know the existence of Dam No. 1. The Sang family had considered flooding when building the irrigation area in the lower reaches of the Helmand River. Although it was somewhat unfounded at the time, the dam that intercepted the river water was still
There is construction going on.
This is also the reason why there is more and full water in the upper reaches of the river. Therefore, if the No. 1 Dam is blown up at that time, the flood released by the barrier lake will quickly decrease. As for losses, the downstream irrigation area was previously plagued by locusts.
I ate seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight and drowned, but it was actually nothing.
But before knowing this thing, this move is undoubtedly an opportunity to seize Kandahar City, allowing Ardashir to trap the dragon and ascend to the sky, advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
"General, what is the level of water conservancy facilities in Kandahar City? 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? It's worse than Ctesiphon.
Don't you know how much it will be?" Tavasdes's voice rose an octave, and Ardashir fell silent upon hearing this.
This kind of thing is the accumulation of technology in the true sense. The Sang family dares to guarantee the nine tribes that even if there is a big flood, as long as they don't mess with the barrier lake, they can guarantee that Kandahar will be fine and the irrigation area will be fine, even if it is a real flood.
A large barrier lake has appeared, and the Sang family can guarantee that as long as the No. 1 Dam is blown up and hundreds of thousands of acres of plantation are sacrificed for flood discharge, Kandahar will never be flooded.
Can Kabul guarantee it? No!
Ardashir did not have such talents. The talents who were engaged in water conservancy and water network had either died or been captured by Rome when Anxi destroyed the country.
"Then withdraw?" Ardashir was silent for a while and decided to respect Tavasdes's suggestion. After all, this guy's judgment has always been correct.
"Withdraw, General. If you want to kill the legion leaving the city before leaving, just attack with the main force of the whole army. You can take the few hundred remaining Holy Death Cavalry as the vanguard and fight quickly." Tawasid.
Seeing Ardashir relent, Si quickly spoke.
Ardashir sighed after hearing this, and looked at the place where Kandahar was located through the felt tent, and then instantly adjusted his mentality. Since he wanted to evacuate, he should leave quickly. He always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he was hesitant.
This kind of thing cannot happen to him.
This is also one of Aldashir's most outstanding qualities. He can always make the best choice as quickly as possible among the few choices available, while Tavasdes can always provide help in desperate situations.
Ardashir found a few pretty good options, and the two cooperated with each other to make Ardashir's situation worse, but it was indeed improving.
"Then according to your plan, collect a reorganized army of the Han army before leaving." Ardashir ordered to Tavasdes, "quickly decide the battle. Now start arranging manpower to pack up the camp and retreat to Helmand first.
Go up the river, join Nihavin, and then retreat to Kabul."
Ardashir moved very quickly, but the mobilization of generals and soldiers under the heavy rain still took some time. Because of this small time difference, the scouts who were watching the Ardashir camp realized something was wrong.
"Xu Yuan, what did you say?" Tian Zhong looked at the investigation content reported by Xu Yuan and his expression became extremely solemn. He is no longer a centurion. What happened at the end of the year before last, when Cao Ang was in power, he treated Tian Zhong and other meritorious centurions.
The commander promoted Tian Zhong to the level of Army Sima. This is why Tian Zhong did not leave afterwards. Now Tian Zhong is in charge of the intelligence department.
"I don't feel right. The movement in Ardashir seems like the whole army is dispatched." Xu Yuan expressed his judgment. He has a special elite talent for reconnaissance. Even heavy rain cannot stop him.
Due to their investigative ability, coupled with the boldness of skilled people and their ability to get closer, the situations they detect are often different from others.
"The whole army is dispatched?" Tian Zhong has participated in the war since the Yellow Turban period. According to his age, he should have retired a long time ago. He has experienced various wars and has extremely rich experience. Just after listening to Xu Yuan's investigation description, his expression became abnormal.
Ding Zhong, according to his intuition and experience, this looks like he is running away!
"Have our troops been dispatched on a large scale recently?" Tian Zhong looked at Xu Yuan and asked. He was just an intelligence outlet and did not dispatch himself. He didn't know much about the outside world.
"General Yan has led the troops to attack." Xu Yuan replied quickly.
It's the last day of the double. How many points do you have for those who have votes? This is such a miserable situation for the author. Sigh.
