Although Chen Xi is also capable of some cunning schemes, compared to those that can be exposed by others, Chen Xi will never try to be clever when it comes to major issues that determine the fate of the country.
For some things, you can seek quick results, you can seek results, and you can allow failure, but for some things, you would rather go slower, spend more effort, manpower and material resources, as long as the results are correct.
This migration to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges is a process and can be treated as if it were not seen. As long as the result is a major event, it is truly a major event that affects this country for generations to come.
It is also obvious that there is no need for a three-way advance, but for the sake of safety and to avoid the possibility of the opponent cutting off reinforcements, Chen Xi has to spend manpower and material resources to attack from three directions at the same time. Sometimes, it is a very wasteful situation.
Not a bad approach.
"If we march from the north, the mountains there are a very difficult problem to solve." Cheng Yu had also thought about marching from the north before, but Chen Xi rejected it at that time. However, this time Chen Xi planned to go south from Congling.
try.
"In fact, apart from the fact that it is reliable to march from the south of Yizhou, it is unreliable to attack that poor place from any other direction." Chen Xi spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Let me explain." Jia Xu took out a piece of information and handed it to Cheng Yu and others, "Guishan is a country with really good geographical conditions."
"This is Peshawar." Jia Xu pointed to Peshawar and said, "To the north of most of Kushan is the Himalayas. The length is almost five thousand miles, and the average height is six to seven thousand. It is definitely not something we can climb, and the mountains are
To the north is the plateau, with about four to five thousand people. We drove a group of Qiang people who could live on the plateau up there and occupied the territory, but they basically had no fighting capacity..."
Xun Yu and others looked at the topographic map that Jia Xu had made out of nowhere, as well as the contour lines in units of thousands drawn from time to time on the topographic map, and their expressions felt a little wrong.
"The average height of the Hindu Kush Mountains in the northwest is almost lower than the previous one, almost more than 5,000, but you all know that this height is not something that an army can pass." Jia Xu looked helpless, and Fa
I was already rolling my eyes while looking at the map.
"To the west is the Suleiman Mountains, with a height of almost more than 3,000. This height is not difficult to climb according to the level of some of our elite mountain regiments." Jia Xu pointed to the large mountain range to the west of Peshawar. Cheng Yu heard a look in front of his eyes.
Bright.
"The problem is that this mountain range is not one like the Qinling Mountains or the Weishan Mountains in our minds, but a whole mountain range. This mountain range covers almost a thousand miles." Jia Xu looked at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but frowned. This meant
There's no way to fight, right?
"Actually, this is not the biggest trouble. The Suleyman Mountains are a combination of desert and mountain. There will be large areas of desert between large mountainous areas, so the logistics required to get there are enough to make people desperate." Jia Xu sighed.
He said with a breath.
To be honest, when Jia Xu got the terrain survey report and related maps of northern Kuishang, Jia Xu said that his heart was broken because the geographical advantage was so disappointing that he just said that you are completely here.
Can't fight.
But fortunately, God is not so crazy in his work, at least he still has some sense of integrity. After Jia Xu spent a lot of time to conduct a very detailed study of this place, he finally determined that there is really a way to enter this place.
This road is the valley of the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Suleiman Mountains. The valley forms the Kabul Valley. It goes straight along the valley and enters the narrowest point in the Khyber Mountains. This place is called the Khyber Pass.
, after leaving here, we entered the Indian plains.
By the way, after leaving this place, it is only a dozen kilometers away from Peshawar, the capital of Kushan. It can be said that the capital of Kushan is blocked by the only key point of Kushan. To a certain extent, Kushan has arranged the capital in Kaishan
The practice near the Burr Pass is similar to the later Ming Dynasty's practice of the emperor guarding the country's gates and the king dying for the country.
By the way, the way of death in this country is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen capsized in the north, and the south was still cheering that the unlucky child in the north was finally dead. In the same way, Vesutheva II fell in the north, and the Brahmins in the south did not die.
The Kushan inheritance was divided among them without any courtesy.
I have to say that history really has some extremely high similarities.
However, no matter whether it is similar or not, it has no impact on Jia Xu. He found a road from the north of Kushan, and it is still a passable road. Then he checked the history of Guishan to confirm that this road was in ancient times.
The Aryans passed through it in the era and entered and destroyed the Indus Valley Civilization from here.
Later, during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of India, the Persian Empire entered through this place.
Later there were Alexander and the Great Yuezhi who now took over India, etc. They basically passed through this place from north to south.
However, after learning about this road that could lead to the South Asian plains, Jia Xu had a clear high regard for Kushan and developed a sense of urgency.
The only key location in this country is the Khyber Pass. However, the emperor of this country established his capital in front of the Khyber Pass. Even Jia Xu was shocked by this courage. Maybe Kushan is indeed
They were poisoned, but at least they did have this kind of courage.
Although the Han Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty of later generations, the iron-clad Han Dynasty, where the emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country, is still very touching.
Therefore, after confirming that what Guishang is doing now is completely the same routine as that of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, Chen Xi also felt deeply - Guishang is going to be destroyed, and our royal family is standing in front of the country, and our Yuezhi royal family cannot
Fall, Kushan will never fall.
Even Jia Xu admired this approach of putting the capital of the country under the only critical point of the country, but admiration is admiration, this road must be used.
"The capital of this country, Peshawar, is thirty miles away from the mouth of this river?" Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Pang Tong and others all looked at Jia Xu in shock. They were also shocked when they heard the news.
Lived.
"Yes, the Khyber Pass is the only passage that can enter the Indian plains, and after exiting this passage, Peshawar is thirty miles away." Jia Xu nodded and said, "Guishan is a country not to mention.
, the spirit and consciousness are indeed there, but it is a pity that the number of their main ethnic groups is too small and they do not have an absolute advantage, and the south is too deeply poisoned, otherwise it will be very serious."
Cheng Yu and others nodded silently. If you want to be prepared for danger in times of peace, it is the most correct way to place the capital at the only key point. Moreover, with the protection provided by Peshawar, it would be very difficult for the normal army to defeat it. In this way, Kushan will finally
A vital link has also disappeared.
"So, the Kushans a hundred years ago may not have been strong enough, but at that time, their country definitely had the kind of wise men who had looked at it for thousands of years. It is not easy for any country to rise. They are like us.
A country with a complete heritage is completely different." Chen Xi said with emotion.
Speaking of which, when Chen Xi looked at the location of Peshawar, he relied on later history and thought that Kushan moved the capital here to balance the situation between the north and the south. As for other things, Chen Xi did not consider it in depth until Jia Xu came one day with the materials.
Find Chen Xi.
At that time, Chen Xi understood what the location of the capital of Guishan meant to Guishang. It is true that the capital did have the significance of balancing the situation between the north and the south, but combined with the clear materials written by Jia Xu, Chen Xi understood that the capital had another
a meaning.
In this regard, Chen Xi had to take a high look at Guishang. Needless to say, this kind of integrity alone is enough to make people look high on him. As for ability, that is something else.
"That's it, does that mean we will take a detour from Anxi, go through the Kabul Valley, and finally pass through the Khyber Pass to attack Peshawar?" Pang Tong already understood Chen Xi's idea, but the possibility of completing this operation is really slim.
.
"Well, this is indeed the plan. The coverage area of the Suleyman Mountains is so large that we really couldn't find the road on the Congling side before. Later, we checked the history and determined that making a big circle from the southeast side of Anxi is indeed
There is a way." Jia Xu nodded and said.
"If we can't defeat it, there is only one way of fighting. As long as the opponent locks that place, it will be difficult for us to achieve results. Moreover, the opponent's capital is right under that fatal point. How can we let us pass there easily?" Pang Tongzheng'er Bajing.
said.
"After all, when we go out, we are directly facing the capital of the Kushan Empire. They cannot be careless. The Kushans must be very serious about this road." Pang Tong collected the official document and said solemnly.
"There is no doubt that this is the case. Kushan has put the country's capital in its key points, which means that anyone who goes there will risk their lives. Then there will be another possibility, that is, we only need to fight there.
If they win a few battles, the whole country's attention must be focused there!" Jia Xu said with an indifferent expression.
No one can deny this. It is just like the difference between being beaten in South Vietnam and being beaten in Chang'an. The former can be said to be a delicate disease, while the latter can shake the country's foundation.
Therefore, if the two occur at the same time, of course the latter is far more important than the former, and Jia Xu's intention is to use this method to involve Kushan's energy.
It is indeed a good plan for the emperor to guard the country, but it also means that what was originally a small matter will become a big event when the country exists.
Just like a personal expedition, the emperor's morale will explode, but similarly, there will be a key point that must be paid attention to.
