Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 801 Huairou policy?
Wang Hou had no choice but to start his old business again. He used to follow Lao Cao, he was the chief logistics manager, and he worked part-time as a general in these years, and now he is Xiao Cao’s nanny. He picked up the position of the logistics chief again. After staying in Jiaohe City for a few days, he went back home to prepare for the Loudi Railway that Cao Zhang dreamed of.

If this railway is built, the goods from Chang’an can go northward along the Weishui River, and they can go directly to Loulan City. You must know that the previous caravans were all horses and camels with two bags, and the most important thing was two horses. A horse-drawn carriage can carry more than 400 catties of goods in a saddle bag, and even a horse-drawn carriage can hold up to a thousand catties, and there are still many places that cannot be traveled, but if it is replaced by this big guy who eats coal, it will be different.

Goods from the Central Plains can be hoarded at the entrance of the Western Regions on a larger scale. Even if the Western Regions leave Congling in the future and continue to rely on horse teams to sell to Guishuang, Anxi and other places, it can save thousands of miles of travel costs, and the reduction in costs can be particularly enhanced. The competitiveness of commodities in the Central Plains provides wealth to the commercial gentry that has become more and more large-scale.

However, it is not so easy to build this railway. First of all, the production of railway tracks can no longer be relied on in Liaodong. developed.

The supporting facilities have to be invested in, and the cost is like an astronomical figure. It is unrealistic to expect Wang Hou or the Guanzhong government to pay for it. When he goes back, he has to hold a business promotion meeting, draw big cakes, and show off the chicken, which will give Wang Hou a headache. .

He went to work on the logistics, and continued to conquer the great cause, and then handed it over to his brother-in-law, daughter and daughter, the new generation of three small strong groups.

After conquering Jiaohe City, Cao Zhang didn't rest for a long time. After all, fighting for his father is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

"General Protector! General Yu Jin has already led the troops of the Wan Army to Loulan City, and General Zhang Ni's [-] reclamation troops are only a hundred miles away from Jiaohe City. It is estimated that they will arrive at Jiaohe City in three days. This year's spring plowing , all departments are expected to be able to catch up!"

Not to mention, Lao Cao sent Zhong Yao, who was implicated in the Wei satire case, to solve a big problem for Cao Zhang. It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to defend the world!Logistical arrangements, the division of defensive areas in the farmland, and personnel issues, all these troubled Cao Zhangneng, who had two big messes, and handed it over to Zhong Yao. This long history was easily sorted out by him. Under the garrison of the Han army, it regained its vitality.

This old guy's effect on the Protectorate of the Western Regions is probably no less than Xiao He's effect on Han Gaozu in the early Han Dynasty.

But looking at the map, Cao Zhang is still worried, it's too big to worry about the country without free shipping!Now he has traveled westward for more than 3000 miles, and the straight-line distance is equivalent to the distance from three Xuchangs to the stone city of Wu State. There are more than 500 miles, and it will take more than 3000 miles to attack the edge of the Tarim Basin from the middle of the Silk Road, and the country of Khotan on the South Road of the Silk Road!

Regardless of the weapons and equipment or the quality of the army, he now has 200 cavalry from Wang Shuangbu, the 90.00 cavalry from the Guanzhong Landlords he replaced, and the [-] Bafu Infantry Regiment from Zhang Jai and Guo Huai. But just like the factors that killed [-]% of the sergeants under General Li Guangli of the Second Division more than [-] years ago, it was the vast terrain and harsh natural environment of the Western Regions that could defeat the Han army.

"The Great Protector! The last general once led his troops to Luntai. If you want to ask for the advice of the late general in Kucha, you can use the main cavalry of our Western Region Great Protector's Mansion to attack. The brigade carries [-] days of dry food and rushes day and night until it arrives in Kucha. Yancheng, the capital of the country, bombarded the city gates with cannons, and provided food on the spot. Most of the guards led the rear army and walked slowly, collecting various states and small countries along the way! What do the guards think?"

Wang Shuang's momentum is bold enough, and his desire to fight is particularly strong. After all, as an old Western Region, he didn't get to attack with the army in the first stage of the war. He just followed Wang Hou to escort supplies along the way. Now he is extremely eager to fight war.

However, his strategy was too risky. Fifteen days of dry rations was already the largest amount carried by a single soldier, and it was enough to support him to the city of Yancheng in Kucha. If there was any accident along the way, he would be gone.

Moreover, the city had to be broken that day, or the army would still starve to death.

The conditions for achieving his strategy are too harsh!This time before Deng Ai objected, Cao Zhang shook his head first.

But abandoning Wang Shuang's radical plan, according to his method of fighting from Dunhuang with a large army, it would take at least three months to attack Kucha, and 2 troops would require at least 50 logistics, and [-] to [-] horses. The food is [-] million shi, and it will take two or three months to assemble this part of the logistics. That is to say, it will be at least the end of this year to reach the country of Kucha.

If you are a seasoned and prudent veteran, such as Yu Jin, there is nothing to say about playing step by step, but for Cao Zhang, a newborn tiger who has inherited Wang Hou's character of a miser, it took so long and such a big price to fight. A Kucha country, too long too long!It's just embarrassing him, Fat Tiger.

"If only that guy, Old Deng, was here!"

Staring at the long boundary on the map and pinching the stubble on his chin, Cao Zhang said depressingly.

In the battle of attacking Wancheng, it can be said that his role as Cao Zhang was not as good as the "shadow king". When Cao Ren thought about looking for Lao Deng again, he had disappeared.

Even Deng Ai, who stayed behind in the camp, didn't see him at all.

But when he suddenly thought of Lao Deng, Cao Zhang's eyeballs suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Wang Shuang, who was eager to fight, and at Wang Changle, who was always tough but also cute and stupid. Suddenly He became ruthless and slapped the table hard.

"This seat has decided, first send people to the capital of Kucha to discuss peace!"

"And then this and that and that and that..."

Listening to Cao Zhang's plan, even the courageous Wang Shuang couldn't help but stare round with his leopard head and ring eyes. In the next second, an unprecedented frenzy emerged, and the named Wang Changle's cute and stupid big eyes stared round in surprise, while Zhong Yao on the other end was almost out of breath, shaking his head heavily angrily.

"No way, this plan is too risky!"

It's a pity that the old guy's objection is invalid now!With his chest straightened out, Cao Zhang smugly tapped his nose with his thumb.

"I am the Chief Protector of the Western Regions, I listen to Mr. Zhong for internal affairs, and I obey you for foreign wars!"
