    In the spring of the sixth year of Jian'an, on the sixth day of March, 200,000 Cao Cao's troops set up camp and passed through Hejian, Guangyang, Yuyangall the way to Youbeiping County. They stationed their troops in Wu Ending City and used it as their base camp to save money.  Grain and grass, recruit civilians, prepare to wipe out all the counties in Liaodong in one fell swoop!

    Twenty days later, everything was ready. Cao Cao chose an auspicious day and picked a good time, personally climbed up to the general stage, held a grand expedition ceremony, and killed a green ox and a white horse to sacrifice to the heaven, earth and gods, to bless the victory and immediate success!

    Immediately afterwards, General Xu Huang was the vanguard, Zhang He and Gao Lan were the second team, Cao Cao personally led the middle army, and the Xiahou brothers were the backup The ministries went in turn and began the expedition to Liaodong. It was really like a tiger, a horse like a dragon, and a bright helmet.  Jia Liang, morale is high and the first thing they face is the 'Liaoxi Corridor!  ¡¯

    Western Liaoning Corridor - Bordered by Songshan Mountain in the north and Bohai Sea in the south, it is more than 400 miles long, thirty to forty miles wide, and only a few miles narrow. The terrain slopes from northwest to southeast, with undulating hills and solitary mountains along the way. It is the northeast  , the important road between the two major plains of North China, and also a battleground for military strategists!

    Cao Jun's plan is to quickly pass through the Western Liaoning Corridor, take advantage of his military strength, and conquer Liucheng, the base camp of the Wuwan and Xianbei people. After eliminating the two nomadic tribes, he will then attack the counties in Liaodong and wipe out the Gongsun family in one fell swoop. But is that right?  , Liaoxi Corridor is not easy to walk!

    "Duoluoluo! Duoluoluo! - One moment it's windy, the next it's hailing. What the hell kind of weather is this? Grandpa's nose is about to freeze off!"

    "Bah! Bah! - It's bitter, salty, and astringent, and there's a lot of sand in it. Is this water for people to drink? Even the animals are not willing to drink it!"

    "I've been walking for several days and haven't seen a single common person. Could it be that this is a deserted area? There is no road ahead. How can the large group of people move forward?"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    A few days after the army came out, the situation took a turn for the worse. The mighty troops with bright armors all turned into yellow clay figures. The soldiers were exhausted, sighed, staggered when walking, had nightmares while sleeping, and their morale also plummeted!

    The generals were also frowning and sighing. Before setting off, they had predicted that they would encounter some difficulties. They did not expect that the difficulties would be so great, completely beyond imagination. They can be summed up in three ways: cold weather, lack of water, and difficult roads!

    It's cold - it's already April. The sun is shining brightly in the Central Plains and spring flowers are blooming. The people have also put on their unlined clothes and begun to weed, catch insects, water and serve the crops carefully. However, in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning,  It was still icy and snowy, and the wind was biting. Cao Jun set out in spring clothes. His face was purple from the cold, his hands and feet were cramped, and he couldn't hold his weapons. How could he fight?

    In addition to the cold, the climate in western Liaoning is also very strange. Sometimes strong winds blow up and the sky is filled with yellow sand; sometimes there is heavy fog and no one is seen; hailstones are as big as eggs; the smashed armors jingle, and countless soldiers and horses are injured!

    Lack of water - to be precise, lack of fresh water. The Western Liaoning Corridor is surrounded by mountains and seas, with the Songshan Mountains to the east. The underground is made of rock plates. It is extremely difficult to dig wells. Even after digging for 20 to 30 feet, water cannot be found. With only a small number of rivers and rivers,  Mountain springs cannot supply an army of 200,000, and rivers cannot be moved away!

    To the west is the Bohai Bay. Due to seawater infiltration, there are saline-alkali lands everywhere. The water dug out here is salty, bitter and astringent, making it difficult for humans and animals to drink. Even if they drink it reluctantly, they will suffer from diarrhea and loose stools, so they are sick in the military.  Increased dramatically, combat effectiveness plummeted!

    The road is difficult - it should be said that there is no road. The Liaoxi Corridor - the weather is cold, the soil is hard and the water is salty. Neither the farming people nor the nomadic people are willing to come and live there. There is no human habitation for hundreds of miles, so naturally there are no roads.  There are only hills, valleys, mire, woods

    Cao¡¯s army of 200,000 people, plus the civilian men and horses accompanying the army, consumed a huge amount of money every day. Therefore, thousands of vehicles were prepared to transport grain, grass, and fresh water. But there was no road ahead, so how could the vehicles be used?

    Therefore, Cao's army could only cut down trees, carry earth and rocks, and build a wide military road. They could build one mile and walk one mile, ranging from more than ten miles to two or three miles.  Yue can't get out of the Liaoxi Corridor!

    "Boom! Boom! Woo! Woo!"

    Like a long dragon, there was an apricot-yellow handsome flag erected, which had turned into earthy gray under the blowing of the wind and sand. Cao Cao was dressed in military uniform, holding a heavenly sword and riding a "claw yellow flying lightning", watching the slowly marching army.  , couldn't help but show a sad look!

    As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Cao Cao did not hide in a warm car or enjoy special treatment. Instead, he wore armor, braved the wind and cold, walked dangerous roads, drank salt water, and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, in order to boost the morale of the three armies.  !

    "It's freezing cold in Liaodong and the roads are difficult."nbsp;¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The civil servants and generals spoke one after another. It was not a good strategy to advance, but a suggestion to retreat. It is not their fault. Cao's army fought in the south and north, blocked the east and killed in the west. He never fought any fierce battles or endured any sufferings. He also said that he had hundreds of  It¡¯s time to fight the great army!

    But the situation in Liaodong is really too much. The weather is cold, water is scarce, and the roads are difficult to travel The enemy is nowhere to be seen, and the chance of victory is too small. If we continue to march, 200,000 troops are in danger of being destroyed!

    There is another problem that everyone has not mentioned, that is, Xiao Yi is living in seclusion in the mountains, Guo Jia is seriously ill, and there is no one to help him, which makes everyone panic!

    Everyone unanimously advocated retreating, and Cao Cao also hesitated. Let¡¯s march. The environment is too harsh, and there is no guarantee of victory. Let¡¯s retreat. The expedition was abandoned halfway, and we were afraid of being laughed at by the world. What should we do?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
