Chapter 6498 The correct strategy
"I don't know what the fate is woven by the fate of Tavasdes weaving net, so there must be a direction." Xun You looked at Chen Gong and said, Chen Gong was a dead pit, but Chen Gong's ability is trustworthy. It can be said that for these advisers of Cao Cao's power, Chen Gong is the only ability, and his feelings for Cao Cao, and everything else is nonsense.
"Anyway, it is definitely not involved in Anxue, because when Anxue collapsed, all the weavings of fate involving Anxue's future backfires backfires the owners, and the heavy backfire made them die suddenly on the spot." Chen Gong glanced at Xun You and explained.
"This is also the basis for you to think that Tavasdes may still be controlled by you?" Mao Jie immediately reacted. The fate weaving involving the future of Absoluteness has backfired the owner, and Tavasdes is not dead, so the object of Tavasdes' fate weaving is definitely not Absoluteness.
"Yes, he may not be as loyal as you think." Chen Gong explained calmly.
If Tavasdes is really loyal to rest, he should die when the Kingdom of Suppression. Since he is not dead, he will not be loyal to rest, because there is no place for the Empire of Rest in his future. Only in this way can Tavasdes avoid the destruction of the Kingdom of Suppression, which is bound to die.
"Forget it, I don't expect this anymore, let's just go." Chen Gong waved his hand and said, "How much power does the governance still have? Can it support the counterattack?"
"If we count Barak, we are still in the first sequence under the empire, and it is not much worse than the Yuan family." There is no point in circling around Chen Gong, and Xun Yu said whatever he said directly.
"The problem is that if Barak is too strong, do you dare to believe it?" Chen Gong sighed and said. Barak is a strong man who can face the complete Cao Cao's forces head-on. Even if he is at a disadvantage, if he loses, he may not be so easy to lose.
"If you want to say that you believe it completely, it is a lie, but if you don't believe it completely, it is not enough." Chen Qun sighed and said, "The military strength that Beigui surrendered to is not weaker than the Han army in our hands, and it is not bad even in the generals and universities, such as those former commanders of the Front Army, no doubt the elite."
This is also the reason why Cao Cao took the initiative to win over Kabech, Bellona, Esot and others at that time. These people are only in their early thirties until now, and have the ultimate internal energy leaving the body and even breaking the boundary level. They also have the mental image and can command the army. This is a worthy object of cultivation in the Central Plains.
When Barak surrendered, he brought five of this kind of thing, which was the most elite backbone of Beigui. When Cao Cao was there, the Han army was intact and could still be suppressed. Now that Cao Cao has fallen, the Han army's system has also experienced turmoil from its roots. Beigui's power has occupied the top peak under Cao Cao's command, but there was no leader before, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren can still be suppressed.
But after Balac was mobilized by Cao Ang from Herat City due to the turmoil of the situation, there was still a gap between Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren and Balac.
Although Barack was a surrendered general, before the other party surrendered, the target targets were Cao Cao himself.
"It's similar to what I guess. How high do you think Barack's ability limit is?" Chen Gong breathed and looked at the other people asking.
"If you look at the previous record, your level is higher than that of Xiahou Miao now, but you don't have an absolute advantage." Cheng Yu said with some inference. Xiahou Yuan is the most representative general of Cao Cao's power, besides Cao Cao himself. It is not only force, but also a view of the overall situation. He is considered to be a person suitable to guard one side, and can be compared with the previous Barack.
"But this is just before. Now, we think that Barack may be the strongest general and school in our entire power, and it is strong in all directions from here to here." Xun Yu pointed to his brain with a little caution, and pointed to his heart and said, "We unanimously believe that Barack may be stronger than Sikong's total peak state."
Although Barak did not specifically show his abilities, sometimes the changes in the spiritual level will be fed back to reality, and some special talents, such as Sun Quan's very strange ability, Barak's strength, and Cao Cao's counselors are somewhat speculated.
"The mind image is the feedback of a certain belief in the school's mind in reality." Mao Jie said very seriously, "So if a general and school really fulfill the century-old wish of a nation, then the qualitative change at the spiritual level will cause unpredictable distortion of reality, and the mind image itself is the embodiment of this distortion."
"That's it." Chen Gong nodded when he heard this. It was not too outrageous. Barak was also a man who had fulfilled his long-cherished wish for Kushan for a hundred years. It was normal for him to experience a qualitative change on the spiritual level.
"However, the problem is that he may be stronger than Cao Sikong, and he is still Cao Sikong's son-in-law, or the Marquis recognized by Chang'an. Then he took action to win..." Chen Qun said helplessly. This is really an internal and external trouble.
When a group of people in Chen Gong discussed Cao Cao and Barak, Cao Cao had already gathered Barak and Cao Ang together, along with the generals of the Cao family and Xiahou family.
As for foreign ministers, none of them are.
Seeing Cao Cao appear again, Xiahou Dun and others were somewhat happy. Even if Cao Cao made many mistakes, in their opinion, Cao Cao was still their most reliable brother and their backbone.
As for Cao Ang, while being happy, he was a little worried, for fear that his father would do something irrational.
"This year we were here, Zixiu handled Kandahar very well." Cao Cao first praised Cao Ang, and Cao Ang was slightly stunned when he heard this. While feeling warm in his heart, he remembered the death of his mother and younger brother. He couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at Cao Cao.
"The incident two years ago was my mistake. You can spread this, but people must look forward after all. Stop here and cannot solve any problems. I will continue to move forward with the mistakes I have before, at least let the students get the benefits they deserve." Cao Cao looked at the generals present with deep eyes.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others were somewhat surprised by Cao Cao's words. After all, Cao Cao was not so easy to admit his mistakes, let alone explaining them openly, but considering what Cao Cao encountered last year, he could understand some of them.
"The benefits promised to the major families will be fulfilled in the future, but this kind of cash will take time and it is impossible to hand over now. It is necessary to wait until the Kabul Valley is captured, and it will be fulfilled." Cao Cao ignored the eyes of everyone present and continued to speak, "In this regard, we don't need to do any more means. It's meaningless. It's better not to do more than do more mistakes."
The people in charge of the Xiahou family and the Cao family all turned red. The things that happened at the end of the previous year are vivid in my mind. Indeed, sometimes it is like this. If you use tricks, you will really backfire.
"Barak, if you are opposite Ardashir, how sure are you?" Cao Cao did not pay attention to the expressions of his subordinates, but turned to Barak and said. For him now, it is meaningless to be entangled in what happened in the past. It is better to find a way to solve the real problem.
The knowledge of the six advisers is in place, and it is impossible for ordinary people to carry it up. However, for Cao Cao, it can still operate. As long as it is running, the god Cao Cao will be born.
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid it won't work. The Kabul River Valley is too dangerous. Aldashir himself is a famous general and he is holding the pass. Our front line cannot be expanded yet. How can we face Aldashir directly?" Barak did not mention the winning rate issue between himself and Aldashir and instead fell on the bad terrain of Beigui. Under such terrain, he had no good idea.
He did find some people on the inside, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there was a legion, but to rely on such a legion to break through the Kabul River Valley, he had to fight Ardashir in the upper reaches of the Helmand River. The two sides were in a stalemate, and then they could attack Ardashir's rear and attack Ardashir in order to defeat Ardashir in front and back.
The problem is that even Barak was not sure to fight Ardashir in the outrageous terrain from the upper Helmand River to the Kabul Valley, forcing Ardashir to devote all the main forces to it. To be honest, with that terrain, the other side does not need to invest too much troops at all.
Unlike the situation when Barak was in charge of Beigui in the past, Ardashire obviously had a high-quality and slow-moving pace, so he did not fight with Cao Cao, but instead accumulated strength and waited for the opportunity to kill with one blow, so he defended the pass and did not start a large-scale war with Cao Cao.
This kind of fighting style was easily considered a lazy battle when Kushan was strong before, but the situation in Kushan is not very good now. The recruitment of Ardashir is just to solve the problem of the invasion of the Han Dynasty in the north. It is equivalent to nailing a nail to block the Han army in the north. As for fighting, it is best, and it cannot and does not affect the overall situation of Kushan.
This gave Aldashire enough autonomy. Anyway, his task was to defend this place, and everything else could be considered excessive labor.
In this way, even if the Han army wanted to fight a large-scale decisive battle, Ardashire did not cooperate, and Cao Cao had no good solutions.
As for small-scale competitions, they have been continuing. After all, both sides now need to use such small-scale competitions to strengthen the strength of their own legion and improve the belonging of their soldiers. However, this small-scale battle is very close to both sides and is unwilling to beat the other side. To be honest, there is really not much damage.
So when Cao Cao asked Barak if he could play against Ardashir head-on, Barak was also embarrassed. He didn't dare or couldn't. He just felt that there was no such opportunity. After all, he had completed the idealistic and uniqueness that the Kushan Empire had always boasted about, and he still had some foundation in actual combat.
"Suppose that there is a chaos in the Kabul River Valley, can you lead your troops to break through the blockade placed by Ardashir at the pass and break into it?" Cao Cao looked at Barak and asked.
"If my father-in-law allowed me to select elite troops, I could give it a try. If there is such an opportunity, it will be fleeting, so we must fight quickly and there will be no delay at all." Barack said with a serious expression.
"Okay, then wait for me. From now on, you will select elite troops to form elite legions and prepare to attack the Kabul River Valley." Cao Cao nodded to Balac, and the Cao family and Xiahou generals under his command were somewhat surprised, but did not raise any objections. On the one hand, Barak himself is also a famous general, and on the other hand, the Kabul River Valley is really not easy to chew, especially after Ardashir entered, the entrance to the valley had become obviously fortified.
Therefore, even if the elite troops are concentrated under Barak, it is not easy to conquer the Kabul River Valley. Even if Ardashir himself is prepared, he may even fall into death.
"Father, why don't I march with General Barak?" Cao Zhen suddenly jumped out and said, although he was his adoptive father, Cao Cao was really good to Cao Zhen. In addition, Cao Zhen has developed well in the past two years. After realizing that this matter is very difficult, he still needs to stand up and share the worries of Cao Cao.
"No, you have something else to do, and the Kabul Valley is not easy to conquer. Even if all the elite troops are concentrated in Barak's hands, they may not be able to be taken." Cao Cao rejected Cao Zhen's suggestion, "It's just that we have to face this pass, it's just a matter of time."
"Only we can truly stand firm in this place after taking the pass." Cao Cao looked at everyone present and said, "Instead of letting Aldashir continue to build this pass, making it comprehensive fortification, or even cities, which makes it increasingly difficult for our subsequent offensive, it is better to pull out this pass that has only completed the initial fortification now."
"It will be relatively easier for us to pull out this pass, whether it is defense or progress in the future." Cao Cao said, pointing to the pass in front of the Kabul River Valley on the map.
"Even if we pull out this pass, it will be difficult to defend. The distance from Kandahar to Kabul is not close, but because relying on river transportation, our logistics pressure is relatively small. However, compared with the nearest Kabul, even if we take down this pass, it is very difficult to defend it. If we even have to occupy it, it will easily become a blood loss point." Cao Ang looked at the pass position that Cao Cao pointed at, which was very close to Ardashir and very far from Kandahar.
The distance between the two sides can even reach 10 to 1. Although Kandahar has the advantage of the Helmand River, the logistics pressure is extremely low, even so, compared with Aldashir, which is fighting nearby, the logistics pressure of both sides will be as high as 3 to 1, or even 4 to 1. Under this logistical pressure, Cao's army may be killed directly.
At least the generals and schoolmen present were all the long-time generals who had been fighting for the rest of their lives, and they could see this. Therefore, they didn’t catch a cold due to Cao Cao’s proposal. It is indeed very likely to be taken down to concentrate superior forces. But after the attack, as a blood loss point? Aldashir’s whetstone? Isn’t that brain disease?
"No, I mean, the whole family and young are fighting together, and they will defeat here, and directly become a seated house, extending into the valley, and fighting with Ardashir in the valley." Cao Cao said, pointing to a more detailed internal map of the Kabul River Valley.
It was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and it was something that had not been recorded in all previous historical books. However, after Cao Cao took out this idea, all the generals and schoolmen fell into deep thought, as if there was no problem. As long as this pass could be built, this kind of combat method seemed to be fine.
Cao Cao's strength is as good as Arda Hill, and everyone knows this. The reason why it is difficult to attack is because the breaking terrain causes too much logistical pressure, and the natural advantages of the defense.
But if the advantages brought by the terrain to the defense and the logistical problems caused by the mountainous terrain are destroyed, Cao Cao and Arda Hill face the bomb head-on, and Cao Cao may not lose.
"It seems there is no problem." Barack was the first to understand this idea. He suffered a lot of losses when he hit the pass, but as long as he made up his mind to fight, Barack could still fight. He didn't fight before, but because the loss was too great and there was no follow-up benefit.
But if Cao Cao brought the whole family and young together to fight, knocked down the pass and farmed on the spot, the terrain advantage of the Nakabul River Valley would be completely destroyed.
This kind of combat method has never happened before the Three Kingdoms. The first one to do this was Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang actually killed Sima Yi with this hand, and even turned himself into a land residence. If it weren't for the fact that his supernatural powers were not as long as the days, Zhuge Liang was taken away by God, and Zhuge Liang's food was cut off, which was enough to wipe out Yongliang within the next year and remain in the old capital.
Although Cao Cao's idea is still different from Zhuge Liang's, what Cao Cao's move is better than Zhuge Liang's official history is that when Zhuge Liang made a Northern Expedition, there were very few people from Yong Liang's Han Dynasty who responded to Yong Liang. However, if Cao Cao's whole family and young people joined forces and became a landlord, there would definitely be no less Beigui in the Kabul River Valley that responded to Lao Cao, and this card of Barak is still very useful.
It may not be easy to use Barak to dig for the people of Visutva I, but using Barak to dig for the Northern Concubine under Ardashire will have miraculous effects when the momentum is huge.
In addition, Cao Cao was watching the time when summer grain came down. At that time, the whole family and the young went on the battlefield. Even if Ardashire was prepared, Ardashire, who had never experienced such a thing, would never be able to block Cao Cao before reacting.
