"The Kushans really retreated? No matter how you look at it, something feels wrong." Cao Cao was surprised at first after receiving the news, and then sent people to conduct a careful investigation and confirmed that the Kushan soldiers had indeed retreated. Although they were in Herat
There were arrangements there, but the regular troops did leave.
"It's probably a combination of several aspects." Chen Gong glanced at Xun You, who was pretending to be dead again, and said. For Chen Gong, a guy like Xun You deserves his high concentration, although many times when facing Xun You,
Problems cannot be solved by being highly focused.
"I only cover up part of the strategy." Xun You noticed Chen Gong's gaze and said flatly. To fully cover the strategy, Xun You needed the cooperation of a group of people, and this time it was not entirely Xun You's credit.
.
Xun You knew what was going on better than others. Part of the reason for Kushan's retreat was that Xun You covered some of the advantages of the Han Dynasty and changed the overall strategic tendency of Kushan. On the other hand, it was because of Kushan's own
There are thoughts of retracement.
Xun You's own talent alone could not have brought about this result. Even if he covered part of the Han army's advantages and allowed Kushan to ignore the Han Dynasty's terrible productivity and farming capabilities, if Kushan himself had not had this idea, alone
This level of coverage will not have such an effect.
"Be prepared with both hands." Cheng Yu said with a click of his tongue. If Guishan does not retreat, then Xun You must have followed Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others across the Hindu Kush Mountains, and then carried out a heavenly surrender when the Han army attacked Herat.
, and Kushan retreated, Xun You relied on his own talent to estimate the level of some of Kushan's staff, as well as the logistical pressure of Kushan's foreign war.
"Just doing some calculations by the way." Xun You replied dully, looking a little cold.
"Then what was calculated?" Cao Cao looked at Xun You curiously and asked.
"Kushan doesn't know how we plan to break into the Kabul Valley. Bei Guishan's staff has strategic flaws. After we capture Hetra, Kushan will not fight back. Instead, he will wait for work in Kandahar. The main focus of the second battle is
The battlefield is in the desert, the river transportation between Kandahar and Herat is under great pressure, and Beigui plans to fight in turns." Xun You expressed his conclusion expressionlessly, covering up his own advantages, allowing Xun You to conclude in one breath
Lots of results.
"What would the people in Beigui think if they knew that they had exposed so much by retreating?" Liu Ba said with a smile. He had vague feelings about what Xun You said, but as Xun You said so clearly
Come out, Liu Ba really can't do it.
"Watching in rounds." Cao Cao smiled. They had successfully accepted camel riding and so on. They had nothing to fear from fighting in the desert. What's more, unlike the Han Dynasty in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, which could not fight low-intensity wars,
Cao Cao in the north now needs a low-intensity fight.
With a complete first aid system, a large supply of first aid medicines, a large number of first aid doctors, and sophisticated equipment that far exceeds that of Beigui, Cao Cao now has a lot of training in place, but Cao Cao, who lacks the regular army to start the battlefield, is waiting for a low-intensity war.
.
"Is that intentional?" Du Ji asked Xun You with a smile. If Beigui didn't retreat, Cao Cao could still win, but it would definitely be a high-intensity decisive battle. Even if he could win, he wouldn't be able to save many cards.
, and if you go back and fight in the desert, you are really sharpening Cao Cao's sword.
"This is not intentional, it is just a natural speculation. If we start the war directly in Herat, with the elites invested by both sides, the fight will definitely be a decisive battle, and after the first battle is real, the rest of the battle will
No matter what, it will become a flesh and blood mill." Xun You explained calmly, and the others nodded after hearing the explanation.
For us, in the first battle, we must either completely defeat Kushan's imperial scepter, or let the opponent retreat and let the opponent take advantage of it.
Needless to say, Beigui's advantages are that most of the millions of young men in the mountainous area who have participated in military service lack the temper of the battlefield. At this time, if an empire has low-intensity friction with them, it can be said that the other side is close to
It can be said that it is something you can't ask for.
"The opponent's advantage is actually our advantage as well. We also need to train our troops. Low-intensity friction will gradually improve our soldiers." Xun You said dullly.
What is called a strategy is that after the other party sees it, not only will they not resist, but they will actively cooperate with you and jump into your pit. After jumping in, they will feel that they have made a lot of money.
This is Xun You's method. He covers up part of his own advantages and makes the battlefield tend to be a controllable low-intensity war. When he changes his hand to a king bomb and four twos, and the opponent thinks it is a low-intensity war, he rushes forward.
, push the opponent away.
As for the growth rate, unlike the Central Army in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges who are too high-level to continue to advance, Cao Cao's side has the same top-notch equipment, but their personal level has not yet come up, so they are most suitable for advancement.
of elite.
"It's the same advantage, but who has the more obvious advantage? The opponent who chooses the same method is a disadvantage."
Waihu is completely impressed. Judging from the current situation, the other party still recognizes our Han culture."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but Xun Yu, who was silent, already knew his nephew's plan. Are the Dayue clan and the Han Dynasty really mortal enemies? Are they really not going to join the Han Dynasty? I'm afraid that's not the case, maybe.
There are still many members of the Dayue clan who admire the Han Dynasty.
"They became stronger in the process of fighting, and we also became stronger in the process of fighting. After that, we can defeat those people openly. If nothing else happens, it will not be too difficult to recruit those soldiers." Xun You said with a little expression.
Si Xiang said.
"The reasons for the conflict between the Dayue clan and the Han Dynasty are very complicated, but there is no absolute sworn hatred between the Dayue clan and the Han Dynasty. More importantly, compared to the Southern Gui, the military system of the Northern Gui is too deeply influenced by ours.
, so once defeated and absorbed, the upper echelons of the Dayue clan may resist, but the soldiers at the bottom..." Chen Gong looked at Xun You in admiration.
The similarity of the systems is too high, and the Da Yueshi themselves are from the monster house of East Asia. The language of the Southern Gui side may be different, but the language of the Northern Gui side still has some Qin and Han dialects, the characteristics of Great Unification and Yayin.
, in fact, it is still affecting Beigui. After all, if we really want to say it, more than a hundred years ago, Beigui was still following Ban Chao near the Western Regions.
It’s not like Korea in the later generations must change the characters, change the language, and completely wash away the traces of Chineseization, but in fact, some things cannot be washed away by this method. The Da Yueshi did not even go out of their way to wash away the Chineseness.
On the contrary, in order to better copy the military system of Qin and Han Dynasty, among the young people in military service, this was strengthened!
So Xun You thought, since your level of self-Chineseization is so high, let alone ordinary people, the military system of the regular army is almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty. If I kill you head on, I will capture you.
, after solving the problem of food and clothing, can we also command these Da Yuezhi soldiers?
After thinking over and over again, Xun You finally made a conclusion. Maybe it was possible. Beigui copied the military system of the Pre-Qin and Western Han Dynasties, resulting in many details that overlapped with those of the Central Plains. This may not be true for the people, but the soldiers definitely could.
For these soldiers, if they are allowed to fight Brahmins, and if they lose, they will be treated as dogs by Brahmins, and if they win, they will have rice every day, these soldiers will definitely be motivated to fight.
But if the opponent is replaced by the Han Dynasty, the loser is just a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. After all, the liquidation of the Han Dynasty will not be settled on the people of Dayuezhi. At most, the head of the family will be replaced to take charge of food and drink, let alone four hundred years ago.
, for almost three hundred years, there has always been a Han Dynasty above the head of the Yuezhi.
In this way, for the Han Dynasty, it was a war to destroy the country, but for the soldiers at the bottom of the Da Yuezhi, it was a former boss who had to deal with himself and give up and become a servant.
Of course, ninety years of expansion had made the soldiers of the Da Yueshi also have the spirit of the empire, but Xun You estimated that if the Han Dynasty really defeated the opponent, the possibility of the opponent surrendering was not small.
This is also the reason why Xun You is willing to engage in a round battle with Da Yuezhi. Not to mention that Xun Yu, Liu Ba, and Cheng Yu on Cao Cao's side can improve the growth coefficient of his soldiers to a great extent. Even if the growth coefficient of Cao Cao's soldiers is
Like the other party, Xun You also did it.
If you win the bet to transform into a dragon with golden scales, you can even get the elites from the previous round of battles with the Da Yuezhi. If you lose the bet, you just go back to rest and then ask for support. If you don't bet, you are not a human being. Such a good thing
Opportunity, the clearest turnaround he has seen in so many years, Xun You has no extra words to say, just one word, bet!
At this time, Cao Cao also realized what Xun You meant. Compared with victory on the battlefield, the ebb and flow of strategic victory is the most important victory.
"But this involves some other things." Chen Gong looked at Xun You calmly. This plan is very good from a strategic point of view, but there are many details that need to be filled in.
"I have already prepared the relevant investigation content." Xun Yu said with a smile. What his nephew did was similar to what he had planned before. However, Xun Yu arranged Beigui's social investigation two years ago.
Cheng Yu did it, and of course he had the support of the Xun family and the Chen family.
Xun Yu greeted the attendant on the side, and soon the attendant went to Xun Yu's residence and brought over a pile of prepared reports. In the past two years, Xun Yu had successively obtained information from the Chen family and the Xun family, and also
Part of it is the content reported by the manpower assigned by Cheng Yu back then.
After integrating those data, Xun Yu produced a report on the living situation of the people in Beigui.
