Regarding Li You's order, Chen Dao did not feel uneasy or angry, but took over the responsibility very calmly.
As Li You said, if you can't do it, dying there is a more reasonable explanation than coming back alive. Just like Ma Di guarding the street pavilion, dying there, not to mention incompetent, is at least true.
He tried his best, but the strategic strategic point changed hands and he escaped, which only shows that while he did not try his best, he also forgot his own responsibilities.
Even if such a person comes back, he should be killed.
"I will do my best to guard the Dongge Mountain Pass and will never let the Kushan soldiers attack it." Chen Dao said with great solemnity.
"I hope so. No matter who you are, you will say this when you receive an order, but at that time, doing it is the most important thing." Li You said noncommittally, and then handed over the general order.
Li You has always had a good vision, but he is not sure about Chen Dao's abilities. Even because of Hua Xiong's relationship, Li You once paid attention to Chen Dao. However, due to some reasons, it is difficult for Li You to be sure about Chen Dao now.
to the actual level.
Well, to put it simply, Li You suspected that he was mistaken, because based on Li You's experience alone, Chen Dao should be the same type of general as Gao Shun, calm, respectful, and dignified, but Chen Dao's successive performances made him
Li You really couldn't stand it.
It is even too much to say that if no one is available now, Li You will never leave the defense of Dongge Pass to Chen Dao. After all, it is a very important link. The first batch of Han troops moved to the common people. Now
It's all there!
However, the situation has reached this point. If you want to maintain the previous advantage and not be tied by the Kushans who reacted, you have to take some risks. Therefore, relying on the full assistance of the Wenjia people to travel to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges by water during the rainy season is already a difficult task.
It's an inevitable plan.
In addition, it is impossible for a suitable general to rush over at this point, and if he can rush over, there are no suitable troops. It is better to just use Chen Dao, but this burden is on Chen Dao, and Li You is really worried.
That's right, Li You is not worried about himself, nor is he worried about other parts. Even though he knows in his heart how huge the military force he may encounter may be, Li You, who has been planning since entering Wenjia, is not worried about his own.
safety.
The troops that the Chola Dynasty can send are limited, and the troops that can accurately come to trouble Li You are even more limited. In addition, the Chola Dynasty has only one road to Venga except the sea route. How will the other side choose then?
At least Li You knew what was going on.
What's more, when it comes to borrowing troops, do you really think that Li You is empty-handed now and is ready to be crushed by others?
How is this possible? As long as a top adviser is still striving for a goal, he will accumulate strength for his goal at any time. If he has to guard against something wrong with Guishang, Li You doesn't need to worry about the situation at all.
develop.
After trying his best to boost his confidence in Chen Dao, Li You worked hard to explain to Chen Dao the situation he analyzed.
"If you see a large number of Kushan soldiers coming on the mountain road at the Dongge Pass, then order all the relocated people to go back to the Dongge Pass, and rush the news to Zangxuan Gao." Li You
Looking at Chen Dao, he repeatedly warned, "Then seal the Dongge Mountain Pass, fully shrink the defenses, and wait for rescue. There is no need to fight to the death."
This is a very critical point. Dongge Mountain Pass is not a very wide pass, and it is not difficult to lock it with Chen Dao's troops. Even if the Kushan army attacks it, there will still be no problem in holding it for a day or two.
One or two days are enough for Zang Ba to fight back from the Wenjia area. Unless the Kushan army is so large that it suppresses the entire route, Zang Ba will definitely rush back.
After all, compared with other legions, the dual-talented shield guard has a very obvious advantage, which is its ability to traverse all terrains, so it can be killed in a straight line.
"What if the other party appears on the other side of Dongge Mountain Pass?" Chen Dao suddenly said.
"If it appears on the other side of Dongge Mountain Pass, it can only be said that when we are plotting against Kushan, Kushan is also plotting against us. More importantly, our current distribution of troops cannot take care of both ends." Li You
He said calmly, without the slightest hint of panic.
"I mean, if the other party appears on the other side of Dongge Mountain Pass, how should I deal with it?" Chen Dao didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked.
"..." Li You didn't say anything. If it were Li Jue and others, they would definitely understand what Li You meant at this time - now we don't have enough troops and it's impossible to take care of everything. There is a problem of protecting the big and small, so we must make a choice.
To put it simply, the other side gave up. According to Li You's estimate, the first batch of migrating people had already arrived at Dongge Pass before Kuishang climbed over the mountains. Unless the other side continued to detour and entered Dongge Pass from behind,
, otherwise it would be impossible to cause harm to the people who migrated from the Han Dynasty, not to mention that there are other things besides Chen Dao at Dongge Pass.
But with Chen's current state of mind, Li You still prefers not to say it.
As for Guishang going around, I really thought it was a joke that Li You had suppressed the rainy season for so long. Not to mention causing flash floods, there would be no problem in hindering Guishang's advance.
Of course, Li You also admitted that the hindrance ability of this method has obvious limits. It cannot be delayed for too long. A month or so is basically the upper limit. If Kuishang is lucky enough, he can arrive at the cave directly without any accidents.
On the other side of Geshan Pass, the biggest crisis for the Han army in so many years will appear in the hands of Li You.
It's just these low-probability events, combined with the current situation, Li You simply ignored them. After all, there were only so many troops, and it was not worth investing in these negligible aspects.
Besides, it is only a possibility for Kuishang to cross the mountains, and under this possibility, one must have smooth winds and rivers to enter Dongge Pass from the other side. Even if Kuishang has enough preparations, he can reach Dongge Pass safely.
On the other side, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive until next month, and by next month, most of the people should be taken away by the Wenjia people in boats.
On the one hand, Li You didn't think he would be so unlucky, but on the other hand, did he really think that Li You didn't have any arrangements at Dongge Mountain Pass?
In fact, Li You not only had arrangements on the front of Dongge Mountain Pass, but also on the back. Although the arrangement was not made by people, it was true that there were arrangements, but he still could not tell Chen Dao.
This is very helpless, because Li You really feels that Chen Dao is too incompetent and has betrayed his trust again and again. However, since this is one of the few people he has misjudged, Li You decided to give Chen Dao another chance.
, what can be achieved is the best, but if it cannot be achieved, it will be a failure!
Although Chen Dao was upright, he was not really stupid. He quickly reacted and looked at Li You in silence for a while, but in the end he did not deny Li You's arrangement. Chen Dao also knew how many troops they had and it was difficult to balance them all.
all.
It's just that this approach of giving up part of the migration before it even started was difficult to win Chen Dao's approval, especially since this migration was initiated by Li You. Now, in Chen Dao's opinion, Li You went too far.
After sending Chen Dao away, Li You brought Wu Xi over.
"Ah, what's going on, military advisor?" Wu Xi said excitedly, rubbing his hands.
"Two things, which one do you choose to do? If you complete either one, I will recommend you to be the captain of the Chongzhe School." Regarding Wu Xi, Li You was much more casual. He didn't need to hint. He just said what he wanted and followed.
I have been for many years.
"You say it, you say it, any one will do." Wu Xi said excitedly. After waiting for so many years, the time has finally come.
The biggest difference between Li You's captain's establishment and the captain's establishment in the hands of others is that it is the establishment of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. At first, Li You asked Chen Xi for an extra quota of more than 10,000 people. In addition to pensions and salaries, there were also
On the one hand, it is prepared for times like this.
With the official position of a lieutenant, Wu Xi can command at least two thousand Xiliang cavalry. Although the scale is not large, with the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang cavalry, after trying hard to steal a wave of Qiang people and establishing his own auxiliary army, Wu Xi
You can call yourself a boss.
"One way, you now go and inform Guo Bang who is waiting south of Samajja to return with his troops. Follow Guo Bang and divide his troops into two groups. One group will wait in the upper reaches of the Cauvery River. After confirming that the other party will send troops, give me
We defeated the Chola Dynasty." Li You said with murderous intent in his eyes.
It doesn’t matter whether the Chola dynasty is the first-class dynasty under the empire, if it dares to interfere in the war between the empires, if it is not one of our own, then it will be killed directly. There is nothing to say.
Since the other party has launched a large-scale attack, the country must be empty, and even if there are still people, it will definitely not be enough to deal with Guo Si's men.
In addition, the rainy season in Bangladesh has just begun and then gradually extends, which means that it is still in the dry season there. Set fire to burn everything that can be burned and kill everything that can be killed. Even if the country cannot be destroyed, after this time
, the Chola Dynasty was unlikely to be relieved in a short period of time. With such a time lag, they could just wait for the Han army to free their hands and press them to death.
Wu Xi was stunned when he heard this. This task is a good one. Although it is a bit difficult and dangerous, it is not too difficult for him to do it. Even digging up the ancestral graves of the Chola Dynasty is a problem.
There's just something wrong here!
We must give up. This mission cannot be taken on. It’s not that it can’t be completed, but if we do this, Li You’s side may not have enough troops and the Chola Dynasty will seize the opportunity and kill it.
After all, Wu Xi also followed Guo Si there and came back. He knew how many troops Guo Si had now - more than 8,000 people. Doesn't it sound very powerful? The question is, these 8,000 people are not 8,000.
Xiliang cavalry, but eight thousand miscellaneous fish!
