In fact, the civil servants of the Han Dynasty have never underestimated Fulward, who was also considered a good general, and was courageous and resourceful in state affairs. Although the plan to go to Qinghai-Tibet was thought up by Masinde, Fulward had the courage to execute it, and it has already been
It is enough to explain many problems.
Therefore, on the whole, the civil servants of the Han Dynasty still have a very good evaluation of Fulward. After all, in the current situation, generals who are capable and incompetent are all very good generals.
"So, in the blink of an eye, a new incident happened?" After Chen Xi and Fa Zheng were brought back by Li You, they looked at the letter sent by Jia Xu, feeling a little tired. They originally thought that this recent incident
After a period of time, everything was arranged. All things were handled by each locality, and they just waited for the New Year's Eve party. But in the blink of an eye, another big event happened.
After all, if Fulward intervenes in this matter, well, there is no need to do so. With Jia Xu's ability to analyze and judge, he can target Fulward, so there is no need to discuss the situation of Fulward.
Definitely involved, and most likely even the mastermind.
Again, the reason why Fuwode did not cause any major troubles is because there are people from the Han Dynasty in the Tibetan areas. There are also local corps that blockades in the Yanbian area of Xinzhou and Yizhou. The Fuwode people are small and cannot achieve victory in one go.
No confrontation with the Han Dynasty can change the final outcome.
The most helpless part of foreign wars is here. The suppression of the logistics transfer system puts frontline troops under extreme pressure. As a result, even if your hard power explodes, the combat effectiveness you can exert is still very different from normal.
This was also the dilemma of the Han Dynasty when they were in the Ganges River earlier. Your strength is of no use. If you cannot maintain a 1:5 record on the battlefield, the opponent will kill you.
This is the situation that Forward is facing. The 40,000 people under his command have no problem in terms of hard power, even in the battle of the Empire. The core headquarters, even if they were severely humiliated by the three idiots, they still have no problem.
Again, those who are qualified to be humiliated by the Xiliang cavalry and auxiliary troops are undoubtedly the elites at the core of each empire.
You can say that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry runs slowly, you can say that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry does not attack enough, but when a head-on battle begins and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry launches the steamroller mode to push horizontally, if you can barely hold on, what level do you get?
You also need to be aware of it.
The core headquarters of Fulward and Assam are almost at this level. After all, the two of them had to perform a containment mission. If they didn't give some supplementary advice, they would have been caught by the tail even if they entered the Han Dynasty.
It may also be easily bitten to death.
Therefore, in terms of combat power on paper, Fulward's strength is still very reliable. Even if he goes crazy, he can sustain a wave of small-scale imperial wars.
However, paper is just paper. How can we say about the actual combat power? In the Battle of Qiangtang, they faced Qingqiang led by Yang Pu and others. Qingzhuang, who was angry, retreated directly.
In terms of losses on both sides, Fulode is undoubtedly the winner, but from a strategic perspective, Fulward is undoubtedly the loser. It is a huge waste to waste limited troops on the local Qiang people.
It's a waste of money, which is why Fulward becomes more and more sloppy in the future.
There is no way, if you are not strict in foreign battles, it is easy for the wave to rise in the early stage and then directly overturn in the later stage. This is also an important reason why Masinde has been able to control Fulward in recent years.
It’s just that this kind of control seems to have failed by now. After all, Fulward is not a fool. To recognize a person is not to see what the other person says, but to see what the other person does. Masinde has done many things, and it is indeed for
The strategy is beneficial, but it has been suppressing Fulward's idea of attacking. Even if the reasons are very good, it is almost time for both sides to show their cards.
Therefore, when Jia Xu passed his speculation back, the senior officials of the Han Dynasty basically agreed with this speculation. It was most likely Fulward's last desperate struggle.
"What is a new incident?" Li You looked at Chen Xi dissatisfied and said, "You really don't know what's going on?"
After Gan Ning sailed away the seventh-generation ship, Li You didn't stay in Donglai for long, and almost chose to turn around on the same day. The officialdom in Qingzhou is still very good in terms of stability and purity. After all, every household in Qingzhou has
There is one who has seen blood.
The solutions to many things depend on human cognition, and the people of Qingzhou, who have experienced a truly chaotic era, have solutions to many things that are more in line with their own morals - Taiwei Liu lets us eat well, we believe in him, you
If you don’t look like you’re going to let me have a full meal, then you must not be the lieutenant’s people, fuck him!
So Li You went over for inspection twice and passed by Mount Tai. He brought a few disabled veterans with whom he had an impression to Chang'an to enjoy the technology of reattaching severed limbs, so he didn't do much. In his words, everywhere
If the atmosphere in Qingzhou can be maintained, the prosperity of the country will be just around the corner.
Chen Xi sneered at this. It was nonsense. It was pure nonsense. The situation in Qingzhou was only in the last ten years. If you look back in ten years, you will know. People cannot live in the past forever, and people who have experienced that era will eventually...
When the world is about to leave, prosperity and peace will naturally breed darkness. This is normal.
"I suggest Masinde vote directly, don't worry about those who have it or don't have it, but who asked him to show respect to Fulward? Now that things are going on like this, he dares to hook up with the Khotanese to assassinate Wei Shuo. What else can he do next?
It speaks for itself." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, morally speaking, he really shouldn't have driven Masinde to do this, but Masinde kept doing it, and Furward even sent people to do it.
"Speaking of which, it seems that a lot of things are crowded together now?" Zhuge Liang slowly closed the official documents in front of him. Chen Xi was trying his best to get away. As a result, Zhuge Liang's work became more arduous, and the two goblins at home were fighting more and more frequently.
The higher the level, the more bizarre things are developed.
"Absolutely. After all, it is Yuanfeng's tenth year. There will be a court meeting at the end of the year. There will be a lot of things at this node every time. It is like this in the first year of Yuanfeng, it is like this at the beginning of the sixth year of Yuanfeng, and it is just like this at the beginning of the eleventh year of Yuanfeng.
It just continues this situation." Chen Xi said calmly.
It’s not just that things are crowded together, but that there are many real big troubles that cannot be cleared up in a short time. After all, many of them are not the affairs of one country.
The Nordic Odin is said to be half-dead now, but as long as he is still alive, he is a trouble.
The locust plague, although the core Locust Heaven was strangled to death by the three empires, the locust plague has not been completely resolved. After the third round of locusts has been greatly reduced in size, it has now successfully landed in the northwest of Kushan. As for the Han Dynasty,
Central Asia was already in trouble. Fortunately, with Liu Yan's arrival and Jia Xu's neat knocking down of Sima Lang, at least the food that Yuan, Yang, and Chen families lacked was delivered.
This means that the Central Asian aristocratic family will not explode in the short term. The problem is that the Central Asian aristocratic family can survive it, but it does not mean that the thieves in Central Asia can survive it. If the first and second rounds of locust plagues are considered to have made the thieves in Central Asia
The bandits fell into the predicament of cannibalism, so the arrival of the third round of locust plague made the Central Asian bandits unable to retreat, and they could only break out with the Central Asian aristocratic families.
At present, Liu Ye has received a lot of urgent reports from Central Asia, but again, those who can shout for help are at least alive and kicking, and those who are really silent and have little response
, Liu Ye was kind-hearted and asked Huang Tao to go and see if the other party was still alive.
Anyway, Central Asia has been in chaos recently. The Han family wants to defend Wubao and not start a war with the Central Asian bandits. However, the Central Asian bandits will desperately besiege the cities near them even if they do not have enough siege weapons.
Wu Bao, after all, if you don't fight, you will die. If you hit him at most, you will die. Anyway, you will die, so of course you will choose the one who dies not too ugly.
So much so that wars are everywhere in Central Asia, and all major aristocratic families are basically besieged by bandit armies that are caught in famine. All major aristocratic families are also very angry about this. After all, no matter where they got hold of it until now,
of food and grass, but generally we are sure to survive the third wave of migratory locusts.
But this premise is that there is no large-scale consumption. Once the war starts, even if it is to defend the city, the loss of food and grass will increase on a large scale. After all, when you can't go to the battlefield, you still have to eat just enough to maintain life.
Running food, that's not nonsense.
Therefore, as long as a war breaks out, it will mean that every family is in danger of running out of food, so that now the families in Central Asia have some mentality explosions.
In addition, Aldashir noticed that Cao Cao was suffering from a locust plague again, and finally made up his mind to attack. Now that the war in Beigui has restarted, Cao Cao himself has problems with his performance due to a bunch of debuffs, and he was also taken over by Aldashir.
The first mover was almost beaten now. Fortunately, the area near Kandahar was not occupied by Ardashir, and Cao Cao seemed to be able to hold on.
One is black and the other is black. In addition to Yuan Shao, who is against the trend, Cao Cao is also very fierce. Even the AI Cao Cao, under this kind of against the trend, actually has to rely on external contradictions to gradually stabilize his own power.
The territory of power is only very far away from victory, and it cannot even be expected in the short term.
Taking into account the entanglement between Jiangdong and the Kushan Empire, as well as the chaos in the northwest, and the possible occurrence of things like Fuwu's move to Xia Zangzhou, Chen Xi currently has a lot of things piled up in front of him.
"Other things can be put aside for now. The Fulward matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." Fazheng suggested. Compared with other things, there is still a certain buffer period. The Fulward matter is really the best thing to do.
It could happen at any time, and the Han Dynasty had no control over this matter. After all, when Fulward said he was leaving alone, he left alone, unless Masinde chose to put a sack on him.
But Masinde has made it clear that it is impossible to do such a thing, so this matter has become something that must be solved now.
"In fact, the simplest plan at present is to let Qingqiang and Faqiang attack to suppress Fuwode. If the two sides fight, Fuwode will not have the energy to do this. Even if they open up the enemy in the northwest
The legion has flaws, but it is short of manpower. No matter what Fulward has an idea, it will be useless." Guo Jia said calmly, "Although Qingqiang and Faqiang are not strong, Fulward can exert great influence in Zangzhou.
His manpower is limited, and if one person dies or the other is missing, there is no way to replenish it."
"Don't do this unless it is absolutely necessary. Although the leaders of Qingqiang and Faqiang have repeatedly expressed their willingness to fight Fulward at any cost, we cannot treat this as a normal situation." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
The Qingqiang and Faqiang have both expressed their opinions, and Chen Xi also believes that the statements of these two tribes are from the heart. The problem is that Chen Xi allows the Qingqiang and Faqiang to stay in Tibetan areas for the purpose of assimilation, construction of Tibetan areas, and border guarding for the Han Dynasty.
The legion was preparing for the Tibetan area.
After all, preparations have been made to carve out the essence of the Ganges River, so the final precautions must be taken. Chen Xi believes that when Liu Bei and himself are alive, the previous generations of feudal lords will definitely not rebel and will definitely support the Han Dynasty, but when Liu Bei and himself are alive,
After he and Liu Bei left, the feudal lords who owned the essence of Kushan would be damned if they didn't have the ambition to covet the Central Plains.
Or to put it more directly, I already have such strength, why don’t I just ask how heavy the tripod is? Don’t I have the consciousness to unify all the wastelands?
Everyone is this kind of person, the eldest brother doesn’t care about the second brother.
So from the very beginning, after Liu Bei agreed to the plan, Chen Xi knew that it was only a matter of time before the enfeoffment of the Kushan Essence Area would backfire.
However, considering the establishment of the Han cultural circle, Chen Xi could not let this backlash appear prematurely. It would have to last for at least a hundred years before he could completely assimilate the local area into the homeland of the Han family.
To maintain it for a hundred years, it is necessary to control the Tibetan area and deter the Kushan essence area from a high position.
It is true that due to the Little Ice Age, the snow line of the Himalayas has moved downwards, making it no longer advisable for ordinary troops to enter Beigui through Tibetan areas and enter the Ganges River. However, the Little Ice Age only lasted for a few decades. After this period, it is still better to go
Able to walk.
After all, according to official history, Fukang'an led the Qing army to attack Gorkha by entering Tibet from the northwest, then traversed the Tibetan area in two months, crossed the Himalayas and entered Gorkha, and then massacred the enemy.
Although there are indeed some other reasons for this, logically speaking, it is feasible to go south from the Tibetan area and enter Kushan without the impact of the Little Ice Age, and there are enough advantages from top to bottom.
, overall as long as the gap is not too big and there is no shortage of water on the mountain, the advantage of swooping down on the opponent is actually very obvious, and this is the chain that Chen Xi set for the enfeoffment of Guishang.
It's just that this chain is still being made, and because of the existence of the Little Ice Age, even if this chain is built now, nothing can be seen. It's just that Liu Bei and Chen Xi can survive the Little Ice Age and replace it before they die.
The Ganges Lords, who have been in charge for two generations, demonstrated how to quickly attack the Ganges from Tibet, which would be enough to suppress it for decades to hundreds of years.
Therefore, the construction and assimilation of Tibetan areas is very important. Judging from what Chen Xi has learned so far, the output of Tibetan areas alone, even with the special support of Chang'an, will probably only be the regular garrison of troops in the end.
Around 50,000, but sometimes, there is a huge difference between having this 50,000 and not having this 50,000, and it can even be enough to affect the overall situation.
For this reason, from a long-term perspective, the treatment of Tibetan areas also needs to be carefully considered. As for the future layout, Chen Xi will not mention the suppression of the Ganges Essence Area now.
"Actually, it would be best for Qingqiang and Faqiang to fight Fuwode. We now know Fuwode's exact location. If Yang Pu leads Qingzhuang in a sneak attack, it shouldn't be a big problem." Li Youye
He opened his mouth and suggested, "This is the most effective solution."
"Fowod should have known that the mountain city of Bactla was occupied by the Han Dynasty and had been turned into a fiefdom of the Chen family. How could he still go to the northwest?" Fazheng glanced at everyone present and asked, "Assassinate Sima Lang and then force the local army to
The deployment of troops to counter the rebellion resulted in a gap in the northwest blockade, which was obviously a sign that Fulward wanted to escape, although I find it strange to run from the northwest."
Fulward's current situation has changed a lot from what it used to be. In addition to the sudden change in weather, a large part of the reason for being able to go to Zangzhou was unexpectedness and the help of the Khotan people. In fact, this time for
It can actually be seen from Liu Yan's assassination that even up to now Fulward still has considerable influence among the Khotanese people.
But it’s normal to think about it. When Kushan was at its peak, the Altay group actually conquered Khorasan, then looked eastward to the Han Dynasty, and forced troops to attack the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. During this period, they did control several small countries.
, among which Khotan itself was one of the controlled countries.
The Khotan Kingdom must have been unhappy when it was being manipulated, but compared to the later consolidation and destruction of the country into a county by the Han Dynasty, Kushan's actions back then were more acceptable to them, and considering the fact that the Khotan Kingdom itself existed for the restoration of the country
There is nothing surprising about the fact that the elements are mixed up with the Kushan side.
But on the other hand, with the existence of the Khotanese, even if Fulode was blocked in Zangzhou, it was impossible not to know that his hometown, Bactla Mountain City, had been captured by Chen Zhong. In this case, Fulard
Ward pulled a loophole in the Northwest, and it was simply hilarious.
To put it bluntly, even if Fulward has the power to open a loophole in the blockade of the Northwest Army, and then rush down with his elite troops, tens of thousands of people will be eaten by horses, and the food and grass supplies needed are not
A small number of them were burdened by the burden of food and baggage, and Fulode's marching speed could not be increased at all. Considering that the mountain city of Bactra was no longer in the hands of Kushan, Fulode's return route directly changed to Congling → Central Asia → Herat
City→Kandahar City→Kabul→Peshawar.
To be honest, if Fulward could go back like this, he must at least have Alexander's ability to win every battle and support fighting through fighting. Otherwise, he might be hit and killed as soon as he goes out.
This path is simply not something Fulward can take. Not to mention that the Camel Riders under Fulward are now at the Guards level. They may even be just a mix of Guards and dual talents, even if they are all the top ones in the year.
The Xiliang cavalry beat the super elite head-on, so what?
Back then, the distance Ardashir took from the Caucasus was closer than the current route of Fulvod, and the difficulty level was also lower than it is now. Oswin was also there to greet Ardashir in the Kandahar area. As a result, Ardashir was the last batch to transport manpower and logistics.
The legion was not destroyed by the Central Asian family.
The strength gap between the two sides is there. Even if Fulward has experienced Zenith Enlightenment in a place like Tibet and achieved a transformation that can be called a rebirth, as long as he is not a military god, he can't expect to lead 40,000 people on this journey.
Lu Neng returned to Guishang. If he had the ability, he could go straight to Chang'an and cause chaos in the world. He would force Bai Qi and Han Xin to take action. Wouldn't it be nice to shock people and gods immediately?
"Then what do you mean? Make an attack in the east and attack in the west?" Chen Xi asked thoughtfully, "That shouldn't be the case. We are still in the Little Ice Age, and the snow line is so high, let alone Fulward. We have secretly sent people to try it before.
Crossing the Himalayas, there is no way to execute it."
While talking, Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia. This extreme plan was made by Guo Jia, because Guo Jia and Guan Yu had walked through the southern foothills of the Himalayas and had some knowledge of the terrain there. He had always felt that although the mountain roads in the Himalayas were difficult to walk, they were still difficult to walk.
It's not much more difficult than Sichuan. If you find an elite mountain regiment, you might try to set off from the Tibetan area, directly cross the Himalayas, and then parachute into the capital of Kushan.
This is Guo Jia's decapitation and pincer attack plan, which is to force several armies in name to force all the main forces of Guishang to the front line, and then all the magic soldiers descend from the sky to directly behead the capital of Guishang with lightning speed.
Kill the Kushan capital, then lead troops to attack the rear of the front line, cut off the opponent's food and logistics, and then easily win the final victory.
What do you think of this idea? If the beginning of the third century did not happen to be in the Little Ice Age, there would be no problem with this plan. Even if the quality of the soldiers is very high, and it will take a long time to train and adjust to the Tibetan areas, but in general the plan is
There is no problem. After about three years of preparation, we should be able to implement this economical and cost-effective plan.
However, the current problem is that during the Little Ice Age, the snow line has declined. The snow line in the southern foothills of the Himalayas has dropped from the original 6,000 meters to 3,400 meters, and all conventional passages have been destroyed.
So much so that the beheading plan devised by Guo Jia was immediately finished after being evaluated by dozens of immortal veterans, because even if the immortal veterans took such an outrageous path, they almost lost their lives, and the most unlucky ones even encountered an avalanche, that kind of
A gap of several thousand meters in the snow line, an operational error, and the resulting avalanche can bury you, not just one person, but even an entire army.
So in the end, Guo Jia gave up the plan.
Therefore, after Chen Xi came up with the idea of attacking from the east to the west, Guo Jia was the first to glance at Chen Xi. It was Chen Xi who originally asked him to verify it. But now Chen Xi is thinking about how to cross the Himalayas from the north and enter the south. Isn't that funny?
"It seems impossible." Fazheng was silent for a while. He also knew the verification done by Guo Jia.
"It's impossible to go northwest, and it's impossible to go south, so what does Fulward want to do? Can you give me an explanation?" Zhuge Liang looked at the others with a somewhat confused tone and asked.
"It's not impossible." Li You was silent for a while and said, "This may be the result that Masinde wants."
It's the end of the month. Those who have votes are counting their votes. Sigh. Remember to vote for August's monthly votes. There seems to be a problem with the backend of the starting point in the morning. I sent it several times but it doesn't work.
