Barak was obviously unhappy when he heard this. Even though he had always respected Gumara, after hearing this, he still habitually retorted, "I admit that the Han Dynasty is very strong.
But when you say that, Gumara, do you think you are looking down on us?"
"You just think that I am trying to make you more vigilant." Gumara said with a smile. At this moment, it was as if those words before were really intended to make others be more vigilant.
Balak scratched his head after hearing this and looked at Gumara carefully. He didn't see any difference in Gumara, so he really thought that Gumara was just to make them more vigilant.
Sahel shook his head silently. It was not that he was smarter than Barak, but that as the commander-in-chief of the Khyber Pass, Barak was a carefully selected general from Kushan. He had great confidence in his country and it was difficult to agree with him.
The Han Dynasty was so much more powerful than our own family.
"The Han Dynasty is still very strong." Sahel was silent for a while and then explained, "It's a pity that the other party is destined to be an enemy. It's really uncomfortable."
"It doesn't matter. As long as we defend Kandahar and deal with it carefully, it will be difficult for the Han Dynasty to take it. The terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Barak said with a smile, "Even if the Han Dynasty is strong, it will be difficult to capture it."
You have to be able to show it off.”
Gumara nodded slightly, as if he was echoing Barak's words. In fact, Gumara was thinking about what to do next. As a consultant who has worked with Barak for so many years, he knew very well that Barak just didn't want to believe this fact.
, still maintains its recognition of the powerful force of the Kushan Empire, but can this recognition be maintained?
Gumara can guarantee that after the Han Empire really chooses to use force to defeat it, no matter how good Balak's character is, it will be meaningless and will definitely waver.
[If I were the Han Dynasty, I would definitely choose to break it with force. I can't get around the long logistics line with strategy, and the terrain of Kandahar is too uncomfortable for attackers. Therefore, once I seize the opportunity...
…] Gumara has already made detailed speculations.
As for the losses of doing so, Gumara actually knew it well. If he did not do this and repeatedly attacked, Kushan would rely on its terrain advantage and in the process of tug-of-war, the losses of the Han Dynasty would soon be higher than the current level.
level, and seize the opportunity to force a decisive battle, even if you have to step into the ambush circle, as long as you are properly prepared and can defeat Kushan, the losses may not be greater than the tug-of-war.
"Actually, I don't agree with attacking Herat." Gumara said, rubbing his chin.
"Well, when we discussed with Kapil before, you also agreed to the current plan." Barak said with some confusion. Now that the plan has begun to be implemented, if you deny it, is it a bit too much?
"What can I say about Kapil's plan? It's too simple to think of the Han Dynasty. If we attack Herat, I guess there won't be any results." Kumara shook his head and said, "The Han Dynasty will not be there.
Herat makes no arrangements.”
"But it should be too late for you to say this now." Barak said with a frown.
"Since we have already gone this way, how about we not go around a little bit more?" Gumara said with a smile, "At best, Herat won't do anything, and we can go to other places. I'm thinking that this move might have a miraculous effect.
, the Han Dynasty returned from strength to strength, but that guy Kapil has indeed bypassed the Han Dynasty's observation perspective, and we have entered the Han Dynasty's blind spot."
"Isn't this a good thing? If we attack the Han Dynasty secretly, we might be able to win a big victory." Sahel looked at Gumara in confusion and said.
"It is indeed a good thing, but when it comes to the sneak attack on Herat, I think it is better to forget it. It is a city, not a field battle. In fact, it is a field battle. Barak, do you think we can win in a field battle against the Han Dynasty army?
Gumara said with a smile.
"Huh!" Barak snorted in displeasure, but he did not deny the fact. Although Barak could not understand what Gumara said, how much the Han Dynasty forced them, Barak also admitted a fact.
That means the Han Dynasty's army is indeed stronger than theirs.
"We can try to go around." Gumala said with a smile, "Although it may not be possible to achieve great results, but in this case, let alone the Han Dynasty, we ourselves are in a state of disconnection. To put it too much, even if there is
It is absolutely impossible to inform the Han Dynasty about the traitor."
Gumara, Masinde, and Saixi Selian actually all knew that Kushan should have been planted by the Han Dynasty as a traitor, and the level of the traitor was definitely not low, and there were more than one or two in number. But among the three, except Saixi
Selian took the initiative to investigate, but the other two were a little perfunctory.
However, regardless of whether he was perfunctory or not, Kumara still kept this matter in mind very carefully. Under normal circumstances, he would forget it. When he really wanted to work, he would accept Kapil's arrangement first, and wait until the traitor had already
When you have no way to understand yourself, just keep working.
"Huh?" Sahel was stunned when he heard this, while Barak looked slightly gloomy. It was originally difficult for Gumara to persuade Barak to change his strategy temporarily, but since this guy wanted to work, he naturally made preparations early.
, just like Barak, who had absolutely no chance of agreeing to change the plan, he nodded silently after listening to Gumara's words.
Barak was one of the very few generals who had almost guessed that there was a traitor in the Beigui royal family, and even suspected that Xun Qi was a traitor. During the last trip to the Khyber Pass, Barak was ready to go on stage to expose the matter in person, but in the end he failed.
That’s it.
But this does not mean that Barak has given up on this matter. On the contrary, even now Barak still keeps it in mind, and secretly has people checking and comparing it. However, Xunqi's record can be said to be flawless, even better than that of Bei
Many members of the noble family still need to be intact.
Faced with this situation, even if Barak had other thoughts, he could only suppress them. However, Barak agreed with the idea that there was a traitor on their side. Therefore, after hearing Gumara's blunt statement, he originally did
Well, no matter what the other party said, Barak, who was unwavering, couldn't help but stop and start thinking about Gumara's words.
"The plans made in Kandahar may not have fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty. What do you think of this, Barak?" Gumara said with a chuckle. He didn't like to argue with Barak, but he could always find ways to make Barak waver.
method, just like now.
"Yeah." Sahel didn't understand what was going on, but Barak nodded in embarrassment. After considering this, Barak had to admit that Gumara was right about his plan.
It is very likely that the Han Dynasty already knew about it.
"In this case, the Han Dynasty will definitely counterattack if they know our plan." Gumara said with a smile, "Why should we follow this plan? I have a new plan now, do you want to try it?"
"Say it." Balak narrowed his eyes and said. Although he felt that it was not good to do this, Gumala was right. The Han Dynasty may have known their plan and established a new plan based on it. In this way
If so, why can't they counterattack?
"Although the plan may have been exposed, I have to admit that Kapil's method of going south along the Suleiman Mountains and Kirtal Mountains, and then detouring through the Ghan Mountains and Sahad Plateau is very good. This road is in everyone's mind.
Out of sight." Gumala said with a smile.
In fact, he didn't know whether the plan was exposed. Kumara just made the most correct judgment based on the strength of the Han Dynasty. That is, if the Han Dynasty really wanted to take action, they would use Kapil's plan as a support to counterattack and fight an ambush.
The right way is to fight a decisive battle and defeat it by force.
As for other methods, they are all trivial. It is difficult to capture part of Kandahar as a forward position. Without part of the large oasis of Kandahar, the Han Dynasty will inevitably be constrained by the long logistics line. It is only a matter of how much combat power can be exerted.
Problem.
Therefore, Gumara's thinking has become very simple, that is, we are definitely not under the sight of the Han Dynasty now. Their current route is actually a blind spot. This blind spot is of little significance in attacking Herat. On the contrary, it will be exposed, and it will also be exposed.
It would be better to change the approach and backstab the main force of the Han Dynasty to attack Kandahar. Maybe it will be really effective.
"How about we attack the main force of the Han Dynasty and follow the direction of the Han Dynasty's attack?" Gumara said with a smile, while Sahel and Barak were both shocked.
"Taking this route is indeed a very good method, but taking this route will not solve the problems we encountered in attacking Herat. If the Han army there has three or five legions, it will be useless for us to strike first."
Gumara analyzed with a gentle expression, "On the contrary, if we backstab the Han Dynasty and attack the main force in Kandahar, no matter whether we win or lose, we will definitely disrupt the arrangement."
"It's not realistic. The Han Dynasty also has war eagles for observation and patrol." Barak shook his head and said, "What's more, it's a question of whether we can catch up if we go back from the old road."
Barak's words successfully dispelled the idea of the Sahel.
"The war eagles that observe and patrol are just beasts. Those things do not have the ability to perfectly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. They only rely on weapons and flags. I carry these things in my supplies." Gumara had obviously planned it for a long time.
"As for retreating from the old road? Oh, why don't we take the road opened by the Han Dynasty from the Lezistan Desert? Pretend that we are also Han troops."
At this time, both Barak and Sahel were a little shocked. However, after carefully thinking about Gumara's plan, they inexplicably felt that the other party's plan was very good.
"Actually, there is only one flaw in this plan, and that is that we cannot be sure whether the main force of the Han Dynasty went to Kandahar along that road." Gumara crossed his arms and sneered, "And this problem only requires sacrifice for us
