Chapter eight hundred and fifty second: the mastermind(1/2)
Cao Cao didn't speak, and no one in the government office dared to speak first.
The weather is getting colder and the time for autumn and winter is getting faster and faster.
Although it is still early September and not December, the water flow of the Yellow River has reached a very small level.
The temperature is getting colder every year. The tundra of the Yellow River is usually around December, but last year it was frozen by November, and the water flow in many places is even smaller and pitiful.
The messengers responsible for monitoring the river situation came to report that many places with small water flow can now directly build floating bridges to cross the river.
I'm afraid that the water conditions of the Yellow River this year are worse than last year, and the phenomenon of flow reduction and freezing will also be ahead of schedule.
There are so many places where floating bridges can be built, even if you set up beacon towers along the river, there is no way to block them.
From Qingzhou Pingyuan County to the south, the Yellow River was flat on both sides of the river, and the water flow was not turbulent.
The Ming army moved forward like the wind, and was extremely fast and could cross the river from any basin.
If the Han army had a large number of cavalry, they might be able to react even further.
After all, it is not yet the dry and flood seasons, so it takes time to build a floating bridge.
But such assumptions are meaningless.
All the established cavalry of Hanting in the Battle of Fanyang were eliminated.
The horse farm in the north is firmly controlled by Mingting, and Hanting has no war horse to obtain.
The Han army now has no established cavalry, both the Yanzhou army and the Qingzhou army. Most of the war horses are assigned to generals and reconnaissance cavalry, and it is not even enough.
There are not enough war horses, no cavalry, and setting up beacon towers all over the long river basin is simply an impossible task.
Unless you build all city walls along the Yellow River like building the Great Wall.
But even so, there is no way to stop the Ming army from moving south. After all, the Ming army is not the nomadic tribes that cannot even be built with siege equipment.
Now Mingting’s iron smelting technology and other technologies are far better than Hanting, which is already on the table.
The Ming army's current crossbow range is longer than that of the Han army, its armor is tougher than that of the Han army, its protection area is larger, its cost is lower, and its weapons are sharper and stronger than that of the Han army.
The current Ming army...
The Ming army is like a monster now...
Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly, and he could not think of any strategy that could stop the Ming army from moving south.
There is really no difference between the Ming army and the monster. Within a year or even half a year, the strength of the Ming army will surge and increase day by day.
First there was the thunder carriage, then the four-wheeled carriage, and behind it were the ring-armed iron armor, chain mail, and crossbow chariot.
The birth of the new cavalry made the Ming army's cavalry combat power reach its peak and looked down upon all the heroes. Xu An even led his troops to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou in one fell swoop.
Han Sui was beheaded, and Ma Teng led his entire army to surrender.
The school system, hygiene regulations, craftsman system and other systems seem to be the suggestions put forward by Xu An alone.
The system implemented by Mingting now seems to be called the Three Prefectures and Six Divisions system. It is completely a completely new system, and it is not the same as the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system.
If the four-wheeled carriage, the thunder carriage, and all new military equipment are normal Fan Chou, and there are enough skilled craftsmen, it may be said to be a coincidence.
Then a new political system has been created, and this political system is operating relatively well, so this is a very terrifying thing.
Cao Cao is now in the position of the governor of Yanzhou. He knows a lot and knows a lot. He knows very well how difficult it is to write a new political system that can still operate.
If he remembers correctly, it seems that Xu An has just passed his thirties this year, and Xu An seemed to be in his twenties when Chang'an was founded.
Xu An has too many weirdness on him, which is difficult to guess and understand.
Continue to calculate the time forward. Xu An, who led the remaining soldiers into Taihang at that time, was not even twenty years old and the age to perform the crown ceremony.
Not only the national political system, local systems, but also the embroidered messengers came to report it, it seemed that Xu An also mentioned it.
The Hanting implemented the county system in the local area and changed it to a provincial system. The powers of the provincial governor were divided into three parts, with checks and balances between each other and clear division of labor, so that one would not dominate the whole family.
The Ming court adopted the system of chieftain restraint and recruited strong men from their tribes as soldiers and transferred them to other battlefields to open up the battlefield.
Those defeated tribes were captured by them and were forced into the mainland for road construction and mining, saving a lot of manpower and material resources.
Now Mingting’s foreign army is filled with a large number of foreign soldiers, and even the officers are many foreigners.
One of the newspapers published by Mingting was about the war in the Western Regions.
A Dayuan native seemed to have been granted the title of Ming Dynasty and officially became a Ming Dynasty citizen. He was allowed to move to any province in the Ming Dynasty, which was no different from the ordinary Ming people.
It was because the Dayuan man helped the Ming army lead the way that the Ming army learned about the movements of the Dayuan army in advance and made contributions in one fell swoop.
Cao Cao pressed the position of his temple, and when he thought about Mingting, his mind couldn't help but feel swelling and painful.
Mingting became stronger and stronger, so powerful that it was difficult for people to raise the idea of resisting.
Zi said no wonder that the strange powers and the gods were in chaos.
In fact, Cao Cao did not believe in the so-called destiny and the so-called ghosts and gods.
He believed that fate was always in his own hands, not something illusory decided by heaven.
When Zhang Jiao's death, the failure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the old stories of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong all made Cao Cao understand that those things were just things that deceived the fools and the people.
If there are really ghosts and gods, and if there are really immortals and demons, then why can the First Emperor, who is united in the world, be unable to live forever?
Why did the Xuanniao, who had descended from Shang, come to help the Shang Dynasty, and why did Ji Zhou, who claimed to be the destiny of heaven, eventually be destroyed by Qin, but the so-called immortal gods came to help?
However, what Cao Cao believed in for more than ten years was because Xu An began to shake.
If it is not destiny, if it is a born saint.
Why can Xu An have so many wonderful ideas?
Why can Xu An know so many things?
Why can Xu An lead the Taiping Road ahead of them all?
What are the systems and skills that ordinary people can think of?
"Destiny?"
Cao Cao stood up slowly and murmured in a voice that only he could hear.
Could it be that Xu An is really the destiny of heaven?
Could it be that this man is really hopeless?
Could it be that the so-called prophecy is truly said...
The heaven and earth are turning back, and the fire is about to stake; the building is about to collapse, and a tree is hard to support.
Destiny...
Cao Cao's expression was gloomy and his heart was twisted and turned.
All the generals in the hall lowered their heads and looked silent.
"Everyone raise your head!"
A fierce light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and the depressing atmosphere in the hall made him feel extremely bored.
Bao Xin’s mourning hall is located in Linzi, so the whole city is covered with white space.
Cao Cao usually wears a red battle robe, but now he has also changed into a white robe because of Bao Xin.
Cao Cao's voice was low and not loud, but it also woke everyone in the hall.
"Fuck me, look at me!"
Cao Cao raised his feet and kicked over the eucalyptus table in front of him.
The huge eucalyptus table rolled down the stage, completely awakening the generals in the hall.
When the generals in the hall heard this, they all raised their heads and focused their eyes on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao's eyes were red at this time, standing in the head, holding a sword, as if he wanted to choose someone and eat them.
Now Cao Cao is no longer the cavalry commander who follows Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, leading the Luoyang cavalry and the fledgling cavalry.
The Luoyang Palace changed and the government was in chaos.
The coalition forces attacked Dong, and the princes of Kanto were watching the walls, only Bao Xin supported him to march to attack Dong.
In the battle of Xingyang, he returned home in a crushing defeat and survived.
Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Tao died in order to save him, and Wei Zi, who sponsored him to raise an army, was also killed in battle.
Cao Hong sacrificed his life to save him, and he was probably already in the formation.
Bao Xin was injured by five times, but he finally broke through the siege. Cao Chun and Cao Hong finally broke through the siege. Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were also covered in bruises.
In the end, tens of thousands of troops returned with only a hundred cavalry.
For more than ten years, he has served as a general, prefect, governor, and governor of the state...
Cao Cao is no longer the playboy who is rampant in Luoyang.
Destiny?
Go to his destiny!!
