"It's really refreshing to climb up and look far away. I feel like I want to shout to the sky, "I am the king of the world"."
"No, that would be too embarrassing even for us observers."
Regarding Li Shushi's crazy behavior, Su Xiaoluoli said that she would resolutely "suppress" it.
"Even after passing Hongchi Ridge and entering the Hexi Corridor, as long as you control this place and the Yellow River in the south, you will be able to control the entire throat of Hexi. Even if the enemy has tens of thousands of troops, it will be difficult because of lack of food and grass.
A long-term confrontation.”
Jia Xu looked at the scene in front of him with pride on his face. After all, this was the hometown where he was born and raised. Jia Xu usually used to hide his presence, but at this moment he was not like this at all.
Thoughts, enjoying the atmosphere of hometown.
By the way, Wushaoling was the name of the Turkic people later. The ancestors of this group of people are either competing for the pastures left by Tuoba Xianbei and the leadership of many tribes in Lake Baikal or even further north, or they have not dried up yet.
The area around the Aral Sea to the Caspian Sea was under the management of several major empires in Central Asia and Iran, or they fought guerrillas like the nomads in the northern part of the Central Plains.
"I'm afraid this is Han Sui's idea." Lu Bu couldn't help but frown.
"Other than that, Xu can't think of any other meaning of Han Sui's move."
"You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. Moreover, Han Sui still has a high prestige among the Qiang people. I'm afraid it will be a long-term disaster for the Han Dynasty."
Zhao Yun also frowned. If he had not experienced it personally, perhaps Zhao Yun would not have felt anything. But now that Zhao Yun has walked through the two routes into the Hexi Corridor, Zuli and Wushaoling, he finally knew that this place was important to the Han Dynasty.
How serious is the threat?
If you attack, you can take advantage of the favorable terrain to swoop down from above, taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared. If you defend, you can just seal off two important roads. At the same time, the enemy will have to endure the difficulty of attacking from above. The result is that the separatist regime here will be more powerful than the enemy.
The Qiang who drained the Han treasury was even more terrifying, because he not only had the fighting power of the Qiang, but also had the strategy that the Qiang lacked.
"But why didn't Han Sui attack here before, instead of trying to help us?"
Guan Qiu Xing, Jia Kui and other young men also gathered around at this time, and the leader, Guan Qiu Xing, boldly raised his own questions.
"Yan Ming, you are also from Liangzhou. Can you answer this question?"
With his eyes, Li Shu stopped Jia Xu, who was about to give an explanation, and asked the question to Yan Xing, who had always been dull. On the one hand, this silent man could adapt to the atmosphere here, and on the other hand, everyone could get used to the daily routine.
Use your brain.
In fact, although the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, Li Shushi still insisted on taking those young men with him. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops behind who needed to keep a few people to manage logistics, I'm afraid Sima Zhi would also be taken along by Li Shushi.
Yes, Li Shushi plans to continue to implement the ideas of his staff team. Because there are too many guys in the army who like to use their hands more than their brains. Although there are many guys like Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who are willing to use their brains, it is a pity that they lack enough people.
Theoretical knowledge, and secondly, lack of sufficient battlefield experience, so more often than not, one still needs to rely on the performance of talented military advisors.
It's different now. There are so many little guys who have very useful brains and have learned a lot of knowledge. The key is that there is also a super-genius ant among them. Li Shushi's eager heart has sprouted again.
Of course, if Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others can thoroughly understand the military manual they copied from Li Shushi and combine theory with practice, their future achievements may definitely be more brilliant, and may even exceed their historical achievements.
Seeing Li Shushi's trusting gaze on him, Yan Xing's still slightly immature face was slightly flushed, and he seemed to be a lot more courageous. He thought for a moment and said:
"The reason why Han Sui did not dare to easily set foot in the Hexi area should be very simple, that is, he needed to spend a huge price to get Hexi, and after paying a huge price, he would never be able to hold the land in Hexi, so he has been hesitant until now."
"Then why did he pay a huge price?" This time it was Li Shushi who asked the question.
"Two points. One is that as far as I know, the powerful people in the counties in Hexi have always exchanged what they need. Although it cannot be said that there is no aversion to each other, they still show considerable unity when facing powerful foreign enemies. Especially as Hexi
The Wuwei Duan family, which has the most say in the area, has always regarded Han Sui as a rebel, and I think this will definitely affect the attitude of other families towards Han Sui."
Hearing this, Li Shushi nodded slightly as a sign of approval for Yan Xing's speech, which made Yan Xing feel more confident.
"As for the second point, it is the connection between the powerful people in Hexi and the Hu people. Although Han Sui does have great prestige among the Qiang and Hu people, most of this prestige is limited to Jincheng County, and at most it will not exceed Wuwei. For more people,
Liang in the north
The Zhou Hu, Yuezhi people, and Han Sui were beyond reach. Not to mention the remnants of the Eastern Qiang and the Huns, Lu Shui, Xiutu and other tribes. The average combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Even if the net of death is broken, the Hexi tycoons still have a chance to fight.
financial resources."
"Yes, yes, what Yan Ming said is very good. By the way, I just read the article and you also want to say something. Do you have anything to add?"
"Yan Ming has basically made it very clear. What Xu just wants to add is that we need to pay attention to the movements of the two vassal states of Zhangye and Juyan. If these two vassal states are fully mobilized, they may only have 50,000 troops...
…”
Jia Xu's words immediately made Yan Xing, who had been a little proud just now, wilt, and seemed to be severely hit.
Indeed, the strength of 50,000 troops is almost half of Han Sui's current strength. This is definitely a force that can change the direction of the war. It can even be said that whoever this force favors can achieve a decisive victory, but this step was missed.
Yan Xing naturally found out how big the loopholes in his previous judgment were, and he didn't feel much better after his first performance failed.
"Yan Ming, don't be depressed. How old are you and how old is Wen He? Your analysis just now is already quite good. However, this time is also an experience. When looking at the problem, don't focus on one point and only see the two sides as opponents.
You must broaden your horizons and think about problems comprehensively. Only in this way can you fully consider the variables on the battlefield, and you will not be so flustered when encountering emergencies. Likewise, this is also my hope for all of you~"
Li Shushi patted Yan Xing's shoulder, who was a little frustrated, and looked around at everyone here with a serious look on his face.
Everyone listened to his words carefully, including Jia Xu, who had a rare faint smile on his face, and Sima Yi, who was rarely cold-faced and was probably about to be taught to be arrogant by someone else. This made Li Shushi feel a little proud.
of excitement.
"Haha! It's true. I can do better than you think!" Xiaoqiang is still so domineering and arrogant.
"No, no, no, if Shu Shi's judgment of your intellectual potential is good, you have no hope in this life." Zhao Yun's children's shoes, when did they become black again? This complaint is too sharp.
"Hmph~ Stupid mortals, you will never understand the idea of a genius like me." Why are you joining in the fun, dead ant. Although the situation has become lively again, it feels really good...
"Hey, hey, your guy did a good job today~"
"It's just so-so. Besides, you can't always look like you haven't grown up." I said, Su Xiaololi, can you not look proud? Your performance makes your words really unconvincing.
ah.
Of course, Li Shushi would never hear the whispers between the two girls.
When I set foot on the land of Hexi again, the scenery was still dominated by yellow. However, probably because the war had subsided, although passers-by far away from Li Shushi's army, the number was higher than the last time I came here.
A lot more.
"Don't forget that the climate in Hexi is far from comparable to that of the Central Plains, but it is not that kind of barren land either."
Seeing Li Shushi's curious look, Jia Xu, who was not far away from him, explained like this.
Of course, Jia Xu's introduction attracted everyone's attention. After all, most people present had a blank look at the land in Hexi. The young man's curiosity was heavy, which made Jia Xu suddenly think again.
Become the center of attention.
Although he was a little uncomfortable with this situation, Jia Xu still relied on his thick skin to explain:
"The Hexi Corridor is to the north of the Nanshan Mountains (Qilian Mountains and Altun Mountains), to the south of the Beishan Mountains (Mazong Mountain, Heli Mountain and Longshou Mountain), and to the west of Hongchiling. Because it is located to the west of the Yellow River, it is flanked by two mountains, and the mountains are
It is extremely high, and most of the center is a sloping plain in front of the mountains, hence the name. The entire corridor is about 2,000 miles long from east to west, with the widest point from north to south nearly a hundred miles and the narrowest point dozens of miles. The corridor is roughly
It is divided into three parts: Yumen County of Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County of Dunhuang County, and Guangzhi County as the center, which belongs to the Shule River system; Zhide County of Zhangye County (the seat of Zhangye County), Biaoshi County of Jiuquan County
county
, most of the area around Lufu (not Fulu, let alone Hulu) County belongs to the Heihe River system, and a small part belongs to the Beida River system; with the area from Guzang to Wuwei in Wuwei County as the center, it belongs to the Shiyang River system."
"It feels like there are a lot of rivers..." Jia Kui's face was filled with undisguised surprise.
In fact, not only Jia Kui looked like this, but others also seemed to have seen a ghost. After all, in their impression, the land of Xiliang seemed to have nothing but windy sand and endless yellow sand, especially in the four counties of Hexi. When they heard this
There are so many river systems, naturally they have different shapes
It feels like a collapse. It's like I originally thought it was an evil country filled with all kinds of horrors, but when I actually got there, I found that the propaganda I had been hearing was all nonsense. In fact, the other country is still a very beautiful place. This kind of intensity
The contrast is probably like this.
"Haha..." Jia Xu smiled understandingly, and then continued to explain: "Although Hexi doesn't rain much every year, because there are many high mountains, a piece of white snow on them melts into water.
Although these rivers have flowed for so many years, it is said that
The snow on the snowy mountains does not seem to be decreasing, so it should not dry up in a short time. If there is water, there will be people, so you can farm and herd horses. The land in Hexi was always occupied by the Yuezhi and the Huns before Emperor Wu took it back.
My favorite pasture. So don’t underestimate this place.”
"Oh~~~" A group of little guys who had never seen the world exclaimed in confusion.
PS: On this day in 1977, the largest air disaster in human history occurred - the "Tenerife Air Crash", in which 583 passengers and crew members were killed. It was also the largest air disaster caused by a commercial airliner before the 9/11 incident.
Disaster. By the way, although it was said to be an air crash, the Tenerife air crash was actually a collision between two Boeing 747s on the runway, which is not very sad.
PS2: Today is also the day that Yuri Alexeevich Gagarin, the first human being in space in human history, died. He was the first, the first in human history. Just like
What Armstrong is to the moon, Yang Liwei is to China Aviation.
