"Why are you handling this matter?" Sima Lang put the pile of official documents aside. Whether it is handled or not is not important. What is important is to first understand why Guo Zhao is handling it.
"Why should I handle it?" Guo Zhao thought for a while, "Maybe Chen Hou thinks there is room for change in this matter, if it is really up to Li Shangshu or Man Shangshu to handle it."
Needless to say what follows. The former is probably not because he wanted to die, and the latter is probably because he was not killed on the spot. As for what Sima Lang did, from a legal point of view, it should actually be classified as treason.
"How long do you want to stay here?" After Sima Lang calmed down, he also knew his problem, so he would not ask for unnecessary things.
"Originally, I left directly after processing. My goal was to take away tens of thousands of people belonging to our Guo family, but you gave me a good reason and I used it. Isn't this just a change of heaven? I don't I think there will be peace in Central Asia." Guo Zhao said calmly.
Sima Lang nodded. He already understood Guo Zhao's thoughts. After all, this was a typical opportunity that could not be missed. If he was put in Guo Zhao's position, he would not leave. He would stay here and wait for Central Asia to appear. There will be turmoil, and then we will borrow troops to launch a big wave.
"The Xiliang cavalry is indeed a worthy warrior in the world." Guo Zhao was lying on the top of the city a few days ago and looked down. Many of the Yongliang cavalry had lost their talents due to the changes in the weather. However, they have recently begun terrible training. Thinking about it, they will soon be Climb up again.
After all, in terms of the talent ladder, the talent system of Xiliang Iron Cavalry is very complete. You only need to follow the steps to advance up. In addition, after the iron cavalry reaches a large scale, they can also strengthen each other's combat effectiveness. Tens of thousands of iron cavalry can attack together, and their combat effectiveness is still very high. Guaranteed.
"They have always been the most powerful soldiers in the world." Sima Lang nodded slowly and said. He had also witnessed the Xiliang cavalry in Dong Zhuo's era. Their equipment was a bit poor, but their momentum was still very strong, and the war was the most difficult. At this moment, what is at stake is will, momentum and other mysterious things. The victory of the equipment is determined from the beginning.
"It seems that Brother Boda has calmed down. In this case, I won't say much. I will leave this part of the work to you, and I will handle the rest for the time being. The bureaucracy of the new state is running smoothly. Although I am not very He is good at these, but he can also advance steadily." Guo Zhao said with some confidence.
If the Xinzhou bureaucracy collapsed and Guo Zhao was asked to lead the people to rebuild the bureaucracy and maintain stability in Xinzhou, Guo Zhao would not be able to do it. However, when the bureaucracy is stable, maintaining the smooth handover of Xinzhou is important for this kind of thing. As far as Guo Zhao is concerned, it is still very simple.
"Put this part of the work aside for now. All work related to the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should be saved. There is no way to do this work." Sima Lang shook his head and said, "The situation over there is very complicated, and there is no way to do it easily. Building and building.”
Although Sun Qian was very resistant to plateau construction, after Chen Xi's manpower arrangements were in place, Sun Qian still arranged for Sima Lang to have two teams with extremely rich experience. They had built the Yellow River Bridge, the Yangtze River Bridge, and the Hengduan Mountain Viaduct. Architect.
Of course, the average age of the two teams is over sixty now, so it is impossible to do this anymore...
But the experience of these two teams was real, and it was precisely because of the explanations from these two teams that Sima Lang understood the difficulty of building roads on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The first is the problem of frozen soil, which is divided into two categories: permafrost. Although this is difficult, it mainly depends on the difficulty of early construction. Once the construction is completed, it can survive the early solidification and it can basically be used. The problem lies in entering Qinghai-Tibet This is not the mainstream of frozen soil in the region.
In the words of these old people, part of the frozen soil here is permafrost, and part is seasonal frozen soil, and the latter is actually their main concern. As for the permafrost, not to mention the You generally won't encounter it, so when you encounter it, you can think of a way to solve it. Maybe it will be a little simpler than what you are facing now.
There are only two problems that seasonally frozen soil has to face, one is frost heaving and the other is melting and settling.
The former is the simplest. Water freezes and expands, causing extrusion. Take a viaduct as an example. If the foundation is laid on such a thing, frost will heave in winter, causing the surrounding area to be squeezed. If the foundation is deflected by 1°, the 40-meter viaduct will be deflected. 0.69 meters, and this is only the most basic change.
Generally speaking, if there is so much, even if the material is good enough, it can be finished by default. The foundation is squeezed from both sides due to frost heaving, which may directly cause the upper layer to tear. Of course, if the frost heaving is only on one side, it will directly cause the foundation to drift. If so, the result won't be better than this.
Another thawing subsidence, the simple explanation is that the original foundation strength was sufficient when it was frozen, but after the water melted, the foundation strength had problems and the foundation sank. This is also the most normal situation of highway collapse in Northeast China.
This is also the reason why Sun Qian doesn’t want to repair it at all. If he wants to repair it, he can only build pillars. First, drill through the seasonally frozen soil on the surface, and then continue to drill down until the permafrost layer will not melt before construction. This This is the only way Sun Qian can think of at present. As for other self-heating, warmth-keeping, etc., they are not realistic at the moment.
In particular, the scrapping of etching caused by weather changes prevented Sun Qian from using the idea of self-heating and warm-keeping etching for a short time. Therefore, the only reliable way was to make pillars. The problem was that it was too troublesome, so the plan was shelved.
After listening to Sima Lang's explanation, Guo Zhao nodded slightly and barely understood what it meant. Although he didn't understand the principle or anything, to be honest, wasn't it just that he couldn't cultivate it? Got it.
"Okay, let's forget about it for now." Guo Zhao shook her sleeves and turned around to leave very naturally. The next step was for her to stay in Xinzhou temporarily, waiting for the opportunity to come.
However, what Guo Zhao didn't know was that the opportunity she had been waiting for had actually arrived at this moment. In October of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, Aldashir led the cavalry straight to Herat.
At the moment when the sky changed, all the major families thought a lot, and they all understood that this was a danger, but also an opportunity. After all, the sky changed and sent everyone back to ten years ago, and the legion once again returned to the era when the dual talents were tyrannical. Except for the few hundred seeds that the family had reserved back then, there was a high probability that the other newly promoted soldiers would not even be able to maintain dual talents.
This was dangerous, but it was also exciting. However, no Central Asian family thought that the first person to jump out would be Aldashir.
At the end of September, Cao Cao received intelligence from the Wei family. Xun Yu and others estimated that Ardashir might have an idea on their side. After thinking about it, Cao Cao chose to have Xia Houyuan and others lead the main force to reinforce Herat and fight with them. At the same time, a letter eagle informed Barak of this speculation.
However, no one thought that Ardashir would come so quickly. Herat, as one of the imports and exports of Beigui, had actually changed its main defense direction after it was captured by Cao Cao. In addition, Herat's The location is quite delicate, and Cao Cao did not deploy many troops here.
Balak is very self-aware. He knows that even though he is the son-in-law of Cao Cao, he is still a surrendered general. In addition, he surrendered not for power, but for Princess Qinghe, and Herat was on the main front in Kandahar. The rear area, so we really don’t need many troops.
It can be said that after marrying Cao Wan last year, Balak really released the Manan Mountain, put the swords in the warehouse, and did not take care of the military at all. After more than a year of wandering, it is quite like the gentle village is the Tomb of Heroes. In short, now Balak If he had encountered me who had fought against the main force of Cao's army in Kandahar the year before last, he would have been torn to pieces in just a few strokes.
"General, what should we do next?" Sahel looked at Barak very solemnly. After Cao Cao's intelligence arrived, their domesticated war eagle had already observed the existence of Ardashir. Although it was still more than a hundred miles away, it was still far away. The strength of the cavalry's legs will not take more than two days.
The problem was that from Kandahar to Herat, even if the Cao family set off directly after receiving the news, it would take several days just to cross the desert. By the time they arrived in Herat, the day lilies were cold.
"Gumara, what should we do now." Balak looked at his top civil servant Gumara. Cao Cao really trusted Balak here, and all the senior officials were under Balak's staff.
"It's too late to call for help. Duke Cao should have sent camels to come to the rescue. The problem is that this distance from Herat is not a desert." Gumara said with a headache, "Let's hold on, first get all the spies in the city. Take it down, don’t leave any hidden dangers.”
"Ardashir can only choose to take down Herat in one go. If we are blocked here, we are likely to lose our own spirit. And the opponent's strength is destined to make it impossible to come back, so our side is actually quite dangerous. ." Gumara said meaningfully.
Barak thought thoughtfully after hearing this, and then after thinking about it, he gave up this crazy idea. How could he block Aldashir and weaken his spirit? If he could do it, he would be able to completely defeat Aldashir. Dashiell's ambition, but there is a high probability that it cannot be achieved.
"It's better to stick to it and save trouble." Barak shook his head and rejected Gumara's proposal.
Gumara was silent for a while after hearing this, "General, do you still remember why we abandoned Herat when we were defending Kandahar?"
Barak was shocked when he heard this, and then his expression became much silent. Once a war breaks out, there will be problems with the logistics of grain and grass here. Transporting grain and grass from Kandahar across the desert to this side has been proven before to be unrealistic.
"We can still be self-sufficient in food and grass now, but what will happen in the future?" Gumala sighed and said, "The construction of Kandahar's water conservancy network has not been completed. The other party can delay it, but we can't afford it. Of course, the other party can't delay it very much. , but we can’t gamble.”
