Chapter 3045: Must fight
Chen Gong, Mao Jie and Sima Yi finally gave up discussing the overall strategic plan for Kushan. On the one hand, it is beyond the reach now, and on the other hand, the Han Dynasty does not have the ability to overwhelm the Kushan instantly. It will take a lot of time to distinguish between Kushan.
However, Chen Gong and the other two basically agreed that the north was mainly restrained and the south was mainly attacking the way the south was mainly attacking the route, and then they couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, after reaching this conclusion, they basically confirmed that Cao Cao would come here next, and if nothing unexpected happens, Cao Cao's future fiefdom will also be here.
"Forget it, it's not very meaningful to discuss these things. If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Sikong will take charge and advance along the way." Chen Gong could not say whether it was a mockery or a congratulation, but it was obviously a bit complicated.
"At least it's done what he wants, and Grand Marshal Liu did what he said." Mao Jie said softly. When they came to this conclusion, they were a little moved. Since ancient times, it was very good that Cao Cao could have such a result in the end.
"General of the Western Expedition!" Sima Yi's gloomy expression appeared, "No matter what, this is fine, but the north is probably a tough bone in terms of what we know now. It would be really difficult to defeat it."
"The same is true for the south, the empire is not easy to fight." Chen Gong said indifferently, "It even seems that the difficulty in the south will be higher in my opinion."
"Because there is only one road in the north, Kushan will relax a lot psychologically." Mao Jie nodded and agreed with this fact.
"Take it slow, this battle must have lasted for a long time." Chen Gong nodded and said.
After the main forces of the Han army gathered, Chen Gong and others did not delay. They relied on Zhang Liao to open up the legion's talents and constantly restored their own energy and spirit, as well as the special solidified Yunqi military formation made by Mao Jie, and the entire Han army began to forcibly march.
As for the prisoners of the Great Yuezhi, as Chen Gong arranged before, he threw them in place after forcing his troops. Now it is not time to kill the big shots, so he still needs to be treated with caution.
"This distance is a bit far." Sima Yi sighed as he estimated the distance on the map, "Even if he forcibly marched, it may not be too late. And if he forcibly marched for a long time, even if he had a rest, can we really recover our peak combat power then?"
"Of course you have a chance, you have to try it. If you can hit Kaibo Mountain Pass, then the entire Kushan will be shaken. Even if we can't hold on, Kushan will fall into a passive state." Chen Gong said with no fluctuations in his expression, and his tone was inexplicably perfunctory.
"If I hadn't known that you were not the norm now, I would have turned against you." Sima Yi said angrily, "Can't you speak in a normal tone?"
"When you are stupid, the most correct way is to not talk, and my current way is to make you stop talking to me." Chen Gong glanced at Sima Yi and said.
Sima Yi was inexplicably angry. Chen Gong, who became serious, was indeed so strong that Sima Yi couldn't stand it. It should be said that these guys were really good at it when they were at their peak.
"The new news is a bit bad." Mao Jie notified everyone with a headache when he saw the news brought back by the white horse.
"Has the Khyber Pass increased troops?" Chen Gong asked according to the situation he had estimated.
"Well, the north has added troops to the Khyber Pass, and a camel cavalry came out of the mountainous area, leading our acquaintances." Mao Jie said with a dark face.
"Fu Ward? It's impossible!" Sima Yi was stunned at first, and then decisively denies that Fu Ward would never appear here now. Even if Beigui and Brahmins started a war, Fu Ward would never leave Khorasan now, let alone suddenly appear in Khyber.
"It's Zhasari." Mao Jie sighed and said, "It looks a bit like after the troops from Khyber Pass were drawn, Kushan was a little worried about the overall situation and moved a double-talented camel riding from the north, and he has only barely arrived yet."
"Only this can explain it. In other words, there are routes for sending troops in the mountainous areas of Beigui, which is at most difficult, but it is possible if they want to drive from the north." Sima Yi touched his chin and said, which is interesting. They can also use this road. The next thing to do is to let Xun Qi get the map of this road.
"Is there a route for transporting troops?" Chen Gong's expression was a little weird. This was completely different from his judgment of his peak state. If there was really a way, it would definitely not be hidden!
"If not, how did you come here?" Sima Yi looked at Chen Gong in a daze, and Chen Gong fell into silence. This was really a problem.
In fact, whether it is Sima Yi or Chen Gong, the Camel Cavalry did not set out after Sima Yi sent troops, but before Sima Yi sent troops, and the method used was exactly the same as Sima Yi, and he also crossed mountains and ridges.
When Zhu Helai was in the game, he was destined to use the royal guards of Peshawar to garrison the Khyber Pass. Otherwise, when it comes to attack, there will definitely be a gap. Therefore, after the Brahmin attacked Visutva I, Zhu Helai sent Zasali to the north.
At that time, there were not many people who could trust it, but Fu Ward was one of them. This guy was a hard-core northerner. He was also from the north when he was in a split. Therefore, when there was a chance to clear the market, Fu Ward was one of the absolutely credible objects.
Of course, there is another aspect that Zhu Helai has always felt that there is something unexplained between Vesutva I and Fu Wode.
Others may not feel it, but Zhu Helai vaguely noticed something that Vesutva had never told him, such as why Fuwad, who was in the northernmost part of the empire, would provoke the Han Dynasty, and Fuwad, who was a magistrate of the border, would enter Peshawar without restraint as the emperor.
How can I say that the big bosses who are caught by the military and political leaders in the frontier are either the emperor's confidant or the emperor's brothers and sisters. As a schizophren who has been involved in the division, it is obvious that they belong to the confidant of Vesutva I, but Zhu Helai vaguely feels that there is something wrong with it.
This is also the reason why Zhu Helai ordered Zasali to borrow troops from Fu Ward when he ran away from Baiwasha. On the one hand, he was to confirm his guess and on the other hand, he was to make arrangements for the future. In the end, there was no doubt that Zhu Helai's feeling was right.
It is also because of this result that Zhu Helai later received a secret report from Ashacheng that there was a hidden danger of rebellion in the north, but it suppressed the reason for not being released. There were too many things involved in it, so many that Zhu Helai had to be careful to verify. If the overall situation is damaged or something that should not be spyed on, Zhu Helai himself could not bear it.
But overall, Zhu Helai's caution is indeed meaningful. At least now a reorganized double-talented legion has successfully crossed mountains and ridges to the near Khyber Pass, and Barak, who is stationed at Khyber Pass, has also felt much more at ease.
After all, this key can be said to be the fatal key of Kushan. In the past, there were a group of big men around him, and there were a large number of elite soldiers in Peshawar. Barak was not afraid of what would happen, but now, Barak is not afraid of it. News has been passed on and said that the Han Dynasty went from the north to the Kabul River Valley to attack and open the Ber Pass.
If this is lost, Barack feels that ten of them are not enough to fill in it here.
Fortunately, there is a reinforcement now, and it is a very reliable reinforcement. No matter what, at least the psychological burden is not that great.
As for the Han Dynasty, there was no change after receiving the news, it only slightly increased its actual combat effectiveness for Beigui and was able to quickly complete the replication of camel cavalry, which means that there are enough regular soldiers in the mountainous areas of Beigui.
"Go forward, Khyber Pass needs to fight no matter what. Only in this way can Kushan transfer his energy from the south to the north." Chen Gong took a deep breath and ordered decisively. Even if he knew that it would be difficult to win this battle, he had to fight one.
"That's right." Hua Xiong weighed his spear, "Let's fight, I'll take the lead in charge at that time, and I haven't seen a reliable opponent in such a long time."
"The terrain over there is a bit complicated, which is not conducive to cavalry combat." Li Tiao's face looked ugly.
"It will be suitable for cavalry fighting when it hits their barracks." Hua Xiong said with a mighty and vigorous voice. They all know what the hell is the place in Khyber Pass. It is difficult for cavalry to charge, and infantry to spread out. To put it simply, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is almost the same as that of Jiange and Jiameng Pass in Sichuan.
It is a terrain where cavalry cannot rush and infantry cannot hang out, but since Beigui is stationed there, it must have been more than ten miles of land, and those places are the best battlefield.
Speaking of which, the Great Yuezhi did not build a city there, because if the Khyber Pass was built, it would be easy to directly attack the city from the hills on both sides. Because the biggest difference between Jiameng Pass and Jiange is that the mountains on both sides of the Khyber Pass are not steep rock walls, but rather smooth arcs. The terrain of this place is considered strange.
Because unlike other passes, it is a pass formed by a mountain break, the Khyber Pass is the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Suleiman Mountains. The angle between the two mountains is that after this opening, it becomes a plain. Therefore, if you build a city in this place, no matter how you build a city, you will be surrounded by rocks on both sides.
