"It's still not certain what the real situation is. Although we have collected information about Cao Ang before, especially when Cao Ang was in charge of Kandahar independently, we specially created Cao Ang's files, but only those contents are far from satisfactory."
Vasdes shook his head and said.
The capital is small, so he is cautious. Tavasdes is extremely cautious about taking risks. This does not mean that he cannot take risks. If he does not take risks, there will be no hope. But taking risks also requires a certain degree of certainty. You cannot see clearly.
If the situation arises, just rush forward. That's not called taking a risk, that's called seeking death.
"Then strengthen the intelligence collection on Cao Ang." Ardashir didn't say much after hearing this. Although he was a little impulsive now, looking at his lost left arm, he knew that now was definitely not the time to take action.
Waiting for accurate news.
"Let's withdraw to Kabul first. If a flash flood breaks out in the current situation, it will be even worse for us." Tavasdes naturally changed the subject.
Tavasdes has collected a lot of information about Cao Ang before. Judging from experience, replacing Cao Ang with Cao Cao is very beneficial to Aldashir. Even if Cao Ang is better at uniting people, he is more powerful than Bei Gui.
Cao Ang, who seeks stability in the terrain here, cannot change the situation. The general environment here is doomed. Only a risky attack and a strategic victory can change the situation of the battle.
If you want stability, unless you are strong enough to crush them, you can only delay for time.
Is Cao Ang's force strong? Very strong, but it is far from crushing Aldashir. In fact, even if the support provided by Chen Xi at that time was brought over, it actually did not crush Aldashir.
Pressure, in this case, seeking stability makes no sense.
[Huh, this is also good news. Next, we only need to keep an eye on Cao Ang to determine the other party's intentions. Then we only need to wait for the right opportunity. Maybe we can really take down Kandahar in one go.] A hint of faintness appeared on Tavasdes' face.
After struggling for so long, he felt a little hopeful. All his previous efforts were just accumulating opportunities for him.
On the other side, Cao Zhen, who was staying with Liu Xian, was thinking about what to do next. Cao Ang's succession was not a bad thing for Cao Zhen, but even Cao Zhen knew that there was a considerable gap between Cao Ang and Cao Cao in terms of ability.
In this case, the subsequent war will only become more difficult.
"Zidan, why do you look so melancholy?" Liu Xian looked at Cao Zhen and asked.
"Nothing, nothing." Cao Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said that he could not tell Liu Xian about the worries in his heart, even if Liu Xian was very popular with Cao and Xiahou because of his performance in the previous two years.
Although Cao Zhen's doubts about Cao Ang's ability are respected by the generals, it is better not to spread the word randomly.
"Believe your eldest brother, he is not that simple." Liu Xian glanced at his son-in-law with his peripheral vision. As the person who escorted Cao Ang into the secret prison and stayed there until Cao Cao sent him to the secret prison, even if he did not see the end, he was still there.
What he saw was already quite a lot, not to mention that Liu Xian had repeatedly confirmed from his son-in-law that Cao Ang's crown was really worn by Cao Cao.
Liu Xian can understand what this behavior means by thinking about it for a moment.
As one of the earliest counselors who followed Cao Cao, Liu Xian was not considered outstanding among this group of people, but he was always sent back and forth as envoys, and he successfully completed the mission every time, which is enough to show that Liu Xian has a deep understanding of human nature.
The grasp is quite good.
So Cao Cao, a guy with an evil heart and outstanding abilities, willingly gave Mianqi to Cao Ang even after he was overthrown. It can only be said that Cao Cao was convinced to lose when facing his son, and Cao Ang had been defeated for so many years.
Liu Xian didn't think it was possible for the ability he showed, and on the other hand, it would be even more terrifying.
Cao Zhen didn't know why after hearing this, but he still nodded. At this point, the only thing he could do was trust his elder brother. There was really no hope for anything else.
While Liu Xian and Cao Zhen were communicating, Aldashir sent someone to invite Liu Xian and his party, expressing his willingness to discuss with them the matter of changing the sky together, and was willing to agree on a time to do it together.
When the two parties signed the contract, Liu Xian tried to tentatively ask for peace talks again, but was rejected as he expected. He did not continue to speak, but silently signed a cooperation agreement to join forces to change the world, and then took this agreement with him
Left here quickly.
[Is Cao Pingxi really planning to launch a strong attack at this time?] Liu Xian weighed the silk cloth in his hand with a hint of thoughtfulness. Cao Ang had repeatedly warned him before that he could not negotiate peace under any circumstances, but only talk about changing the situation.
One thing, before, Mr. Liu was preoccupied with his mission and didn't think about it carefully. But now that the matter explained by Cao Ang has been solved, Mr. Liu couldn't help but start thinking about other things.
[Impossible. In this situation, there is no stability at all under the rule. How to attack?] Liu Xian thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh twice. How could such a thing be possible?
Just when Liu Xian was thinking about whether to send troops next, Cao Ang finished explaining to Mao Jie, and after careful consideration, he went to Balak's house in Kandahar in person.
"Uncle." Balak was a little surprised when he saw Cao Ang coming with only a few guards, but he still hurriedly saluted.
"Balak, I need your help." Cao Ang didn't want to do anything false. He hadn't noticed it before, but now Cao Ang knew very well that Balak actually didn't want to get involved in the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan.
If it goes too far, Barak just wants to go back to Herat and have sex with his wife and children, but this is not possible for Cao Ang. He needs Barak's help.
"Well, uncle, you should know that if I take action, it will be very troublesome." Barak is not a fool. He was able to sit in the top position of Kushan. In addition to being able to fight, he is also not stupid.
"Just this time, it's your and your sister's responsibility to promote this matter. All the things you did before are attributed to me." Cao Ang calmly stated the terms of the transaction.
This condition seems meaningless, but in fact this is what Balak needs most, and if Balak and Cao Wan captured Cao Cao before, it would be beneficial to Cao Ang, even if it would be
There have been some rumors and slights, but as long as Cao Ang can capture the northwest entrance to the Kabul Valley, these rumors and slights will still appear.
In this case, why not gather it together on your own body? It was Cao Ang who had this idea, and it was Cao Ang's plan. But the matter has come to this, and I am stronger. My father even gave me the Mianqi in person. Do you have any ideas?
?
The benefits that a strong lord can bring are far higher than those of a lord who can unite others. What Cao Ang has shown before is that he is a lord who can unite others. He was chosen just because Cao Cao went further and further on the path of not being a human being.
The further away, the other people were forced to have no choice but to push things along, but what Cao Ang wants to do now is actually telling others that it's not you who push the boat, it's me who follows the trend!
"It does sound very good." Barak sighed, "Brother, in what capacity did you say this to me? Is it a relative or a master?"
"They are relatives." Cao Ang said after being silent for a while. Unlike Cao Cao, he still retains a considerable amount of humanity and hopes to anchor everything with emotion.
"Then I suggest not." Barak sighed and said, "I am ten years older than you. As a relative, I can say some outrageous things. No matter what you do or what determination you make, you must have the ability to match.
What you have to do now is not to attack or ask me for help, but to stabilize the power itself and then make progress. Taking risks is a strategy, not a gamble."
Barak is a veteran, and he said this as his brother-in-law. It was a mature and prudent statement, and he did not mean to deceive Cao Ang at all.
"Barack, if you face the Holy Death Cavalry with no more than 1,500 fronts, can you defend it?" Cao Ang did not answer Barak's question, but directly asked another question.
When Barak heard this, he sighed inwardly, stopped trying to persuade him, and nodded, indicating that it was okay.
Ardashir is very strong, but Ardashir is far from capable of killing Barak. Not only is he equivalent to a Cao Cao, he is now at least equivalent to a Cao Cao in terms of strategy, tactics, and command, and even
More than anything!
"I'm going to fight in the Kabul Valley." Cao Ang said concisely and concisely.
"Brother, you are too radical!" Cao Wan, who had been eavesdropping behind the curtain, finally couldn't help but stand up. She was willing to help Cao Ang, but that didn't mean she would follow him when Cao Ang went crazy.
"You are indeed eavesdropping." Cao Ang glanced sideways at Cao Wan, while Balak pointed to the side indifferently, motioning for Cao Wan to sit down and listen.
"With the current situation, how are you going to attack the Kabul Valley?" Cao Wan came over a few steps, and before she could even sit down on her chair, she spoke in a furious voice.
"There should be no problem with the dispatch of the army tomorrow, and as long as Balak can really block the Holy Death Cavalry, I can really take a gamble." Cao Ang was not angry because of Cao Wan's rebuttal, and his expression remained calm.
He spoke.
"Ardashir is not a fool. He will leave the garrison there and even leave the Holy Death Cavalry." Cao Wan said with great solemnity. These are not Cao Wan's speculations, but Barak Xian's boredom.
When Cao Wan explained the situation, she told Cao Wan, "So from the beginning there was no possibility of seizing the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley in one go."
"Yes." Cao Ang sighed softly, and looked at Cao Wan with his eyebrows pinched, "Sister Wan, if we talk about Ziwen, the people of Kandahar, and the choices you and your brother-in-law made, I actually knew it a long time ago, and even learned from my father that I
After being imprisoned in the secret prison, I know what will happen next."
Cao Wan was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head. She and Cao Ang were siblings from the same mother, and she knew her brother very well. He was a good person, but he was only a good person.
"You didn't take off my crown, but my father put it on me in the secret prison of Kandahar." Cao Ang sighed softly. Cao Wan couldn't help but change her color after hearing this, and looked at Balak reflexively, and Balak
Hearing this, Lak couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. In this case, his perception was indeed correct, and Cao Cao was indeed awake.
"Barak, do you want to bet?" Cao Ang's magnificent spirit revealed from his eyes, which made both Barak and Cao Wan feel a bit of pressure when they looked directly at Cao Ang.
"Brother..." At this moment, Cao Wan's expression became extremely complicated. Did it turn out that I didn't understand my brother at all? Did it turn out that everything I saw was just what my brother wanted me to see?
"If this is the case, you should have prepared everything you need to prepare." Balak looked at Cao Ang solemnly.
"What preparations are there for this terrain?" Cao Ang said with a smile, "But before arriving at the northwest entrance of Kabul, the heavy rain from Kandahar to Kabul will drop to moderate rain, and when we arrive at the northwest entrance of Kabul, the heavy rain near the Kabul Valley will
It will rise to extremely heavy rain, or even worse."
"Replacing troops with water is indeed a good idea at this time, and it should even be said to be the best idea." Barak looked at Cao Ang with a complicated expression, "In this case, as long as Ardashir chooses disaster relief, we
There are far fewer enemies to face, and as long as we capture the northwest corner of the Kabul Valley within a few days, we will completely overturn the situation."
"I can stop Ardashir." Barak said slowly.
"I want to go too." Cao Wan said fiercely with a look that was a bit disillusioned with the kindness of her elder brother, "I have to see with my own eyes whether you lied to me or not."
Just as Cao Ang was about to refuse Cao Wan, he was stopped by Balak.
"Let Madam go with you, this is the only time." Balak looked at Cao Ang seriously and said. Cao Ang thought for a while, looked at Cao Wan who looked stubborn and nodded slowly, as if his sister understood him.
, he also understands Cao Wan, and he can't stop her when her temper gets angry.
"Okay, Balak listens to the order." Cao Ang stood up and looked at Balak and said.
After hearing this, Barak stood up and left his seat, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Barack takes the order."
"Calling all the centurions of the Beigui clan to attend the meeting at the government office tomorrow at nine o'clock." Cao Ang said with a solemn expression. The victory or defeat will really depend on this time.
After watching Cao Ang leave, Cao Wan's expression became extremely complicated.
"Husband, can my brother do this?" Cao Wan looked at Balak with great trepidation and asked, "Although he has become different, I still hope that everything goes well for him and he does not take the same path as his father.
"
"He has almost gathered all the prerequisites for victory." Barak looked sideways at Cao Wan and said. He was not deceiving, but he really felt that way.
If you have votes, vote. Sigh. It seems that the author is really screwed up.
