Cao's biggest problem now is actually not that he can't defeat Beigui. If he really wants to fight hard, Cao can actually defeat Kandahar by force with five toils and seven injuries.
The problem is that the victory in Kandahar is actually only a staged victory, not to mention that it is really hard work and seven injuries. How will the Cao family play in the future?
Therefore, from the beginning, Xun You's strategy was to embrace everything. The relationship between Beigui and the Han Dynasty was relatively deep. At least for the lower-level officers and people of Beigui, joining the Han Dynasty was not an unacceptable reality.
Just like those traitors in Fulward, who have done well under Li Jue, they will naturally react after a long time. It is not that they have no patriotism or anything, but the most realistic point is that they also have to
For eating.
In addition, the culture of Beigui is naturally close to that of the Han Dynasty. To be precise, Beigui as a whole is influenced by the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu. There are also reflections of other forces, but they are far inferior to these two, and the Xiongnu has become cold.
, the biggest source of influence in Beigui was only the Han Dynasty.
In this case, as long as the Han Dynasty shows the final combat power to suppress the opponent and is willing to accept the opponent, and more importantly, the Han Dynasty's grain and grass supplies can withstand this acceptance, then the foundation accumulated by Beigui in the past hundred years will be
If Cao Cao doesn't do well, he can take away the pot.
The fact that this plan was not implemented before can only be said to be because the fields in Herat were not even cultivated. Now the Cao family has even managed the irrigation area, and has the foundation to receive manpower from Beigui and strengthen itself. In this way
, all Cao has to do is show his strength.
"What Wen Ruo means is that if General Pang and General Yan want to go, then go ahead." Chen Qun leaned on the edge of the door and said casually. He came to bring a message to Cao Ren.
I am still a little worried. After all, we are fighting in the hinterland of Beigui. It is actually difficult to grasp how many troops the opponent has.
"That's it." Cao Ren nodded after hearing this. Although Cao Cao handed over Herat to Cao Ren, he did not dare to ignore Xun Yu's advice. Among the people under their command, Xun Yu had not yet agreed with Cao Cao.
Before the conflict, Xun Yu was the most special among this group of people.
"Anyway, I've brought my speech, and the rest is your business." Chen Qun waved his hand and said, then turned and left.
When Chen Qun returned to the government office, Xun Yu was reviewing official documents. Seeing a shadow appearing at the door, Xun Yu stopped writing for a moment and said to Chen Qun, "You are pretending to be my name again."
"Isn't this what you mean?" Chen Qun said casually, "The battle in Kandahar would be really difficult, if it weren't for our equipment being really good enough, and most countries cannot provide enough armor at the backbone level.
, I’m not even very optimistic about it.”
The core legions of each country may not differ much in terms of equipment. At least they all have the best equipment in their country. However, the real difference is actually in the backbone team, that is, the level of a talented soldier. The Han Dynasty has a lot of money.
Chen Xi went directly from the recruit system to the top dual talent, and then redesigned it almost to the level of the Imperial Guard.
The equipment is all armor and the quality is very reliable.
Naturally, Beigui does not have such financial resources, so it has tried its best to prepare leather armor for the largest number of soldiers. In fact, there are still many soldiers wearing cloth armor.
This can be said to be the biggest difference between Beigui and Cao. In fact, in terms of individual quality, Beigui is not inferior to the Han Dynasty. The military service system of the other party is truly continuous every year, but this
The military service system can only provide bodies, not armor.
In Chen Xi's words, even if the human body can be trained to be stronger than armor, I will not thicken and make the armor heavier? If not, I can also update the material strength. Isn't it just an upgrade of logistics equipment? I want to see the upgrade.
How thick is your skin?
This is why Huangfu Song insisted that Chen Xi's shield guard training method was wrong, while he happily trained Chen Xi's version of the shield position, because reality is too realistic.
Huangfu Song's previous training method had reached the ultimate level of adapting to various attacks. It would be good to have only a few people among a hundred people. However, Chen Xi, who could train tens of thousands of people in one go, even Huangfu Song
Which version can be beaten, and can it really beat so many?
Are you kidding? Willpower is very important, quality is very important, but the equipment is not fake!
Up to now, in addition to the existence of Severus and Pompeanus in Rome, there are too many open-pit iron mines in Europe, and the Celtic captives were used as slaves in the smelting workshops by Pompeanus, so that the Roman Empire
There may also be the idea of armoring the entire army. If other countries want to talk about it, they simply don’t have the capital to do such a thing.
Therefore, although the overall strength of Guishan is very strong, Nangui has a large accumulation of materials and a large-scale craftsman with a refined division of labor, but does this have anything to do with Northern Gui? No, anyway, things from Nangui are generally not available
I will simply give it to Bei Gui.
"Gongda and the others will naturally solve it."
Now it’s still a question of how much backup we have!”
Chen Qun curled his lips when he heard this, but didn't say anything. Think about it, why did Cao Cao consider it a good opportunity for Vesudev I and Guan Yu to hunt in the Ganges Plain?
In addition to Guan Yu's smooth beard, there is actually a very important point, that is, Vesudeva I could not only recruit troops from Nangui. The vast majority of the main force must come from Northern Gui.
.
To put it bluntly, how ambitious was Vesudeva I to dare to use Nangui as the main force, supplemented by European barbarians, to fight the Han Dynasty at this time?
No matter what, the European barbarians are not the strength of the Kushans. If the Nan Gui were the main force, the European barbarians would suddenly have a brainwave and join forces with the Han Dynasty. The Bei Guishan might have died suddenly on the spot.
Just as Pompianus mocked Vesutiva I for not being grand enough, could Pompianus dare to say with conscience that they were in the same boat as Kushan?
All these allies are deceiving the Kushans. Pompianus just thought that the Han Dynasty was very strong and the Kushans would definitely not be able to defeat him, so he stuffed some European barbarians to consume them, but if he stuffed hundreds of thousands of European barbarians
, when the Kushans are almost finished, the European barbarians will definitely turn around, pack up all the Kushans they can, and take them away directly.
Vesudev I was not stupid. He really wanted hundreds of thousands of young people to come to his home in the hinterland of the Ganges. If he came to help them sincerely, it would be acceptable. But in this situation, it cannot be said to be sincere help. When the time comes,
If it was reversed, a two-sided attack, if he was defeated, Kushan would be defeated as well. Therefore, Roman mercenaries could be present, but they must be within the control range.
In this way, even if Vesudev I would summon a large number of cannon fodder from Nangui to increase his momentum, the main force must be the elite of Northern Gui. In this case, the internal affairs of Northern Gui will definitely be relatively empty compared to before. This is
The important reason why Cao Cao took action.
"Whether it's Kong or not is just our guess. It's hard for us to determine the actual situation. At least as far as our two companies' own intelligence is concerned, Beigui is still very far away from Kong. To be precise, up to now they have
The military service system has really begun to take effect." Chen Qun said flatly, "So whether we can show enough strength in this battle is still a question mark!"
"There is only one way to go. This is such a trouble, especially those nodes and passes. Even if we go over mountains and ridges, it is impossible to pass. It restricts us too much."
A test."
"But only if we win, this test will be considered a success. I don't think Sikong's 70,000 people can easily defeat Kushan, who may have prepared a triple ambush." Chen Qun looked at Xun Yu with a sigh and said, neither was he.
I don't understand military affairs. To be precise, each of the advisers under Cao Cao's command is both civil and military, and at most they are a little biased.
"Yes, it is only a test if you win. If you lose, the middle and lower levels of Beigui may not be shaken." Xun Yu said softly. Although Cao Cao was high-spirited in this battle, it was really difficult to fight. He had the upper hand in resourcefulness.
, the soldiers have the advantage, but the opponent is not a vegetarian either.
While Chen Qun and Xun Yu were discussing this battle, Cao Cao also received a secret report from Cao Ren that the shield guards had arrived in Herat City. Of course, there was inevitably news about Pang De and Yan Xing wanting to go together.
And the news that Cao Zhang has also arrived.
"My child actually came here." Cao Cao said with a smile, without mentioning Pang De and Yan Xing. Their behavior was not a problem in Cao Cao's opinion. As for Cao Zhang's behavior, it was more in Cao Cao's opinion.
He is young and frivolous, but he is still young and there is no big problem.
"It's Ziwen." Cheng Yu smiled after reading the letter. His impression was still on the young Cao Zhang, and he never thought that the current Cao Zhang was just like him, taking off his clothes and covered in tendons. "
You are still too young, but your filial piety is commendable."
"When he comes, I'll take care of him! But he actually knows that with those capable centurions, this kid's instigation ability is still very good." Cao Cao said with a smile, saying that he wanted to take care of Cao Zhang, but in fact
It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with Cao Zhang.
"I guess if the young master comes to kill us, we should have finished the fight. After all, they are not cavalry, but shield guards." Cheng Yu said with a smile, and Sima Yi on the side rolled his eyes. He had also seen Cao Zhang, and that guy was a bit
How reckless.
"Let's continue marching. There is still a big battle waiting for us next." Cao Cao smiled very satisfied, but he did not forget the business.
