There are at least 50,000 armed young men in Liangzhou who have been trained for six years. While they are waiting for work, Sima Lang does not have to worry so much when facing the Fulward swooping down from the Qinghai-Tibet area.
Although it is still possible for Fulward to break through the blockade of southern Xinjiang, considering the actual situation, Fulward cannot bring too many elites to do this. After a wave of attacks, there will be no one left, and even if he wins, he will lose.
It was gone, so Sima Lang ran away quickly.
"In this case, we will almost have to deploy a series of defense lines in Xichuan, Mianyang, Guangyuan, Longnan, Longxi, Hequ and so on. This is a bit unstoppable." Liu Bei is not a fool. Calculating the Qinghai-Tibet border line, Liu Bei is a little confused.
.
"Liangzhou doesn't need to be taken care of. The people of Liangzhou will most likely welcome the Kushan soldiers to travel thousands of miles to send their merits, saving them the trouble of running around and collecting merits." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "The problem is a bit big in other places, so I came here.
Let’s discuss this with you.”
"This border defense requires about 400,000 troops." After Liu Bei calculated the required troops with his fingers, he said with a headache. This is not a small number. The Han Dynasty has a lot of total troops, but suddenly there are 400,000 more troops.
It's also a headache.
"Let's go to Weiyang Palace first." Chen Xi thought for a while, but he wasn't worried about this. War can sometimes solve some problems quickly, but the method of solution needs to be discussed.
By the time Liu Bei and Chen Xi passed by, all the generals who were still in Chang'an had arrived.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were supposed to leave in the near future, but after Zhou Yu was burned into a braised egg, they were postponed for another month. So after such a big incident, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were notified, of course.
Guan Yu, who had not yet left, and who was preparing to compete with Bai Qi for the last time, also did not leave.
"Everyone is here?" Liu Bei looked around when he came in, and asked after making sure that all the main civil and military personnel in Chang'an were here.
"Your Highness is still missing. Your Highness is spending the summer at Lanchi Palace." Li You said calmly. Liu Bei was silent for a while after hearing this. His impression was still at the Great Court Meeting, but in the blink of an eye, the princess had already gone to Lanchi Palace to spend the summer.
went.
"Sorry, I'm a little late." Liu Tong and Si Niang suddenly appeared outside the Government Affairs Office. Seeing the complete civil and military affairs, Liu Tong nodded and explained.
This person was teleported here. Weiyang Palace is very big and Lanchi Palace is also quite far away. Only now the news has actually been transmitted to Liu Tong, and then Si Niang brought Liu Tong to teleport here.
After everyone quickly took their seats, Liu Bei raised his hand to Liu Tong and said, "You should already know the situation? Feel free to speak freely."
However, no one spoke. Guan Yu walked through the plateau area. At that time, it was a relatively flat area on the south side of the Himalayas. Therefore, Guan Yu knew very well that his army did not have to adapt for a long time and could not fight in the plateau environment for a long time.
Although Guan Yu was an arrogant man, he ranked first among generals who cared about his soldiers.
"Let's defend first, and then let Principal Zhu lead the shield guards to the Qinghai-Tibet area." Zhou Yu was helpless. The soldiers couldn't fight up there for a long time. In this case, he had no choice, not to mention how to deal with the logistics of food and grass.
a question.
"Well, why don't we pretend not to know, create a loophole in Hanzhong, let them rush to Chang'an in one go, and then we kill them." Liu Tong asked puzzledly, "Although Chang'an has not many troops, it seems that
You can fight when you get up, but in Chang'an, the Marquis of Huaiyin and Lord Wu'an are both good at fighting, and the battle can be solved in one go."
When Chen Xi heard this, he looked at Liu Tong, then reached out to cover his eyes. Yaoshouyou, Her Royal Highness actually started working.
"The plan is good, but even if Fu Wode has an idea about it, it is unlikely that he would do it." Chen Xi explained, "A storming of Chang'an, even if defeated, would be enough to greatly improve the morale of Guishang, but Fu Ward
Ward would never have done this in the early days."
Of course, at the beginning, it was a steady attack, attracting the Han Dynasty to deploy defenses in western Sichuan, Longnan, Longxi and other places, and restraining the Han Dynasty from mobilizing troops. After completing these important tasks, if there was a chance, or if it was found that it was impossible to withdraw, it would attack Chang'an.
.
After all, the significance of the attack on Chang'an is more about morale, but the significance of containing hundreds of thousands of Han troops is strategic. Therefore, as long as Fulward's mind is right, his absolute choice is to contain the Han army first, and then
From his previous performance, it seems that Fulward can still clearly prioritize.
"Oh, I understand. In order to contain our troops, let us deploy defenses in the Qinghai-Tibet Yanbian area and contain our troops from the Kushan mainland." Liu Tong raised his hand and said. After this guy used the silk pulling trick too much, he also had some thoughts in his mind.
It's more or less in stock.
"That's actually the case." Li You sighed and said. "After our calculations, if we want to deploy a force sufficient to contain the opponent's lord's attack in the Qinghai-Tibet-Yanbian area, we will need more than 400,000 troops, and this is also considering that Fulward can use it.
The strength of the troops ranges from 20,000 to 40,000."
"The Xiliang cavalry should be able to climb the Qinghai-Tibet area." Gan Ning and Sun Ce were taken out of the double room of the prison. Although they were a little playful when they came, they began to think seriously about what to do after they learned that something had really happened.
handle the matter.
"Do you think the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of 8,000 people can hunt down their opponents on a territory of two million square kilometers? To be precise, have you ever seen any legion successfully pursued by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" Li Youxin became even more tired.
The iron cavalry can really fight, but its legs are too short.
"Actually, if we have more troops, we can try the tactic of encirclement and suppression." Jia Xu suggested, "Although it will take some time, even if you run slower, you can rely on means to gradually surround the opponent and force the opponent to fight.
"
The Han Dynasty basically didn't worry about losing the battle. The Han Army's army had too many tricks. Basically, a legion could provide you with targeted restraint. But winning the battle does not mean that you can kill it.
When we were fighting against the Huns, why did the Huns come back to life again and again? Isn't it because they could win the battle, but the opponent could also run away, and if they waited for a while, and the health bar was full, they could kill them again.
"Then we can only fight in the snow area." Guan Yu said coldly.
"It's difficult to solve the logistics of grain and grass. In fact, I'm still thinking about how to solve the logistics of Fulward's grain and grass." Chen Xi had a helpless expression on his face. Guan Yu really fell into silence this time. In the past, he was not good at communicating with others, so he didn't
He was talking, but this time he was really silent. For the first time in so many years, Guan Yu heard from Chen Xi that there was no way to solve the problem of food and fodder logistics.
"Ah, we have a logistical problem?" Liu Tong was shocked. His upper body, which was limp and distracted, straightened up with an expression of disbelief on his face. "Didn't we consume 1.2 billion liters of alcohol last year? We
How is it possible that there is a shortage of food? Besides, even if there is a shortage of food, summer food is available. This is impossible. Is there a large-scale corruption incident?"
"Let me tell you, kill all those people in Yanzhou. Look, now there is even a problem with food and grass. Oh, that's not right. Last month I went to the underground warehouse in Chang'an. At that time, I didn't
Is it still full?" Liu Tong spoke at an extremely fast speed.
Liu Tong inspected very few places and lacked motivation, but Liu Tong liked to go to granaries, especially those that were full. It was one of the few places where Liu Tong could spend a day inspecting one by one, so Liu Tong
At least I know that all the granaries in Chang'an are full.
"What I said is that it is difficult to solve, not that there is no food and grass." Chen Xi sighed, "It's so difficult for Her Royal Highness to go to the granary to inspect it."
"Oh, I was scared to death." Liu Tong patted his chest, which showed no elasticity at all.
"The problem over there is the transportation of grain and grass, not the problem of grain and grass. As for the Chang'an granary, it's time to replace the grain in the granary this year." Chen Xi sighed. Grain storage is also a very energy-consuming job. Although the warehouse is full of grain, even if it is full of grain, it is time to replace the grain.
People in later generations will sincerely feel a sense of security when they see it, but routine food exchanges are too troublesome.
"Forget it, let's talk about the food exchange later. Let's study what to do in Kushan first." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Once Fuwudou really enters Qinghai-Tibet, who should we send up?"
"Come back from the two top shield guards from the Ganges River." Guan Yu pondered for a moment. In a short period of time, even if the shield guards want to board Qinghai-Tibet, it will take some time to adapt, and Zang Ba and Sun Guan have taken shape.
If you are a top-level shield guard, entering Tibet is relatively easy.
In addition, considering the problem of grain and grass transportation, when the shield guards do not wear armor, Zang Ba and Sun Guan's shield guards still have a load of 180 kilograms, which can be used to transport grain and grass.
Although the high probability is still not enough, you can build garrison points bit by bit, so that two shield guards can land in the Qinghai-Tibet area. Although the logistics of grain and grass are equally difficult, the shield guards can save much more than the cavalry logistics.
"This is a good idea, and we also have muscle-building injections..." Chen Xi said, then silently retracted his words, so as not to put more pressure on the logistics.
"In this case, according to the four kilograms of food a day for the shield guards, the load of two hundred kilograms, one for armor and one for food, can last for twenty-five days." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, although he was still a little desperate, but this idea
no problem.
"In this case, General Zhu's shield guards can transport more grain and grass at the advance base, and then gradually transfer it. This can be regarded as allowing General Zhu's shield guards to adapt to the climate of the plateau in advance." Chen Xi touched his chin and said, "It can be done reluctantly.
It’s better to try than to have no solution at all.”
"The territory of Qinghai-Tibet is too big. Can pure infantry really encounter Fulward?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi and asked with a sigh.
"It seems that we need to contact the Shang Shung Dynasty anyway." Guo Jia sighed and said, "Let's see if there is an interpreter in Dahonglu."
