Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 20 Test
"But those families in the south are not weak. If the general sends troops to the south, the families in the south will definitely join forces to fight against the general.

Li Bai said: "The south has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and the south is densely covered with water networks, and your soldiers, General, are mostly dry soldiers and cavalry, and they are not used to the humid weather in the south, so you have no advantage in fighting in the south."

"Besides, soldiers from the north are most likely to be infected with dysentery and plague when they go to fight in the south. Sometimes a single episode of dysentery and plague can cause you heavy losses."

"More importantly, General, your northern soldiers are unable to fight by water, which means you have no right to control water. As long as the river is blocked by the southern navy, you will not be able to use water to transport food and supplies. In this way, you have Even [-]% of the battle strength cannot be exerted to [-]%."

"My teacher also said that if you rashly go south to launch a unification war, the chances of failure are high." Li Bai finally said.

"Who is your teacher?"

Hearing Li Bai's words, Cao Cao looked a little unhappy.

Cao Cao had just defeated Yuan Shao's forces and was about to unify the north. At this time, Cao Cao was extremely conceited.

At this time, he hadn't experienced the defeat of Chibi, and he couldn't accept others saying that he was bad. Li Bai said that he was likely to fail, which made him very unhappy.

"General, these are all discussions between the teacher and us in private, and it doesn't mean anything. If you want to vent your anger because of this, please forgive me for not being able to answer your question."

Seeing that Cao Cao's face is not good-looking, Li Bai is also heartbroken. He is still too young and has no life experience.

"Not at all." At this time, Cao Cao also realized that his face was seen by others. As a person who does great things, he can't give others a petty opinion of himself.

So he hurriedly said to Li Bai: "I just want to know who can teach such an outstanding disciple like you, and your answer just now is very good. I will also carefully consider the situation you said."

In order to change the subject, Cao Cao then looked at the group of Yang Shen and Li Kui behind Li Bai, and asked Li Bai, "How do they compare to you?"

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Li Bai said: "In terms of age, I am older than them, and in terms of knowledge, they are all better than me."

"Why?" Cao Cao asked.

"Because I only studied with the teacher for four years, but they have studied with the teacher for five years. For example, they can make steel, but I can't, because I haven't learned this knowledge yet." Li Bai said.

"So, your teacher is really a talented person, I don't know if he is willing to become an official?" Cao Cao asked Li Bai.

"I don't know about this, I need to ask Teacher Ming to find out." Li Bai said. .

"Well, if that's the case, then you can invite me for me." Cao Cao just nodded when he heard Li Bai say this.

Although he knew that Li Bai's teacher should be a talented person, he still felt a little displeased when the other party said that he would fail in the southern expedition.

Afterwards, Cao Cao asked Li Bai some questions, and by the way, tested whether Li Bai's group of juniors were really talented.

Finally, after some tests, Cao Cao found that although these young people had extraordinary talents and learning, they had too little experience and were immature in mind.

"Wen Ruo, I think Li Bai has a lot of rules in governing Junping. Why don't you let Li Taibai be the prefect of Yuyang County, and let Yang Shen take over as the magistrate of Junping County. As for the others, they can also serve as assistant officials in various places to practice. Do it for a while, and then entrust it with great use later." After leaving the Junping county government office, Cao Cao instructed Xun Yu who was beside him.

"Well, I will make arrangements." Xun Yu nodded after hearing Cao Cao's words.

"By the way, when you make arrangements, be careful to separate the places where they take office. These people are all senior brothers. We must prevent them from forming cliques for personal gain." Cao Cao said.

"I will pay attention." Xun Yu nodded.

At this moment, a cavalry galloped towards Cao Cao's army before stopping.

"General, the Wuhuan people suddenly attacked on a large scale, and they have broken through the north gate of Xixi. General Xian Yufu is leading troops in the city to fight bloody battles with the Wuhuan people. Please help me quickly, General." The cavalry quickly reported to Cao Cao.

"What? The Wuhuan people broke Hexi? How courageous, you go back first and let General Xianyufu hold on. I will send 5000 people to support him immediately, and the [-] troops will arrive within a few days." Cao Cao Said the cavalryman who reported the letter.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered Zhang Liao, the general beside him, "Wen Yuan, take my five thousand personal guards to support Xian Yufu."

"General, I will keep 500 people by your side..." Zhang Liao said to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"Wen Yuan doesn't have to worry about my safety. I'll go back to the army immediately and bring troops to support you as soon as possible." Cao Cao said to Zhang Liao.

"Okay, then I'll lead my troops to support Xian Yufu, General, take care of yourself."

Afterwards, Zhang Liao headed northeast with Cao Cao's five thousand personal guards.

Cao Cao led a group of people and quickly rode towards Youzhou.

A few days later, when Cao Cao returned to Junping, he already had tens of thousands of troops.

At the end of August, under the fierce fighting of Cao Cao's army, the Wuhuan people of the three counties fled in defeat, and finally escaped all the way outside the later Shanhaiguan under the attack of Cao's army.

So far, Cao Cao has regained most of the northern territories of the Han Dynasty.

After driving the Wuhuan people out of the pass, Cao Jun stationed in Youzhou and began a rest period.

However, although the army began to rest and reorganize, the place was not peaceful.

In order to conquer Wuhuan in the coming year, Cao Cao decided to build two canals to transport materials by water because the material transportation channels were too small.

The two canals, named Pinglu Canal and Quanzhou Canal, are mainly used to transport materials from the south bank of the Yellow River to Bohai Bay.

As long as the two canals are completed, the materials on the south bank of the Yellow River can be transported to Tianjin by ship, and then transported to the west of Liaoning by sea, providing sufficient logistical supplies for Cao Cao's army to conquer Wuhuan.

After Cao Cao decided to build the canal, he decided to recruit civilians from all over the country.

Luping County under Li Bai's rule has also been transferred hundreds of young and strong.

Of course, Li Bai is now the governor of Yuyang, and Yang Shen has become the magistrate of Guangping County.

However, some of Li Bai's brothers and sisters were poached by Cao Cao. Except for a few who were too young, the rest were sent by Xun Yu to various places, either as local officials, or as clerks in the central government. And feet.

A few more proficient in water conservancy were sent to repair canals. Suddenly, more than a dozen of Zhang Qingfeng's students became officials.

Against this background, on this day, a big man came to Erdaogou Village.
