This method clearly shows that they are bullying the Yuezhi because they lack combat power and cannot drive out the Han Dynasty. By the way, this is a good move. Farming in the Kabul Valley is still possible, especially since the farming technology of the Han Dynasty is very reliable.
Food is actually grown on the spot.
Speaking of which, the Da Yuezhi were very worried when they received this news, because most of the top legions have left Beigui for business, and the remaining Sai Wang fighters are stuck in the Khyber Pass and will not participate in any
Foreign war.
Forward is stationed in northern Xinjiang to stabilize the northern front without major turbulence. In this way, Beigui will not have any legions that can fight against the Han Dynasty.
If it weren't for the fact that the Da Yuezhi side is almost certainly a military aristocracy, with a large number of military camps throughout the north, intensive militarized training, and a huge group of regular soldiers, the current situation might have been penetrated by the Han Dynasty.
to the Kabul Valley.
However, now relying on the fortifications and the terrain of the Kabul Valley, the Yueshi have managed to stabilize the Han Dynasty with their thick defense lines. Coupled with a series of actions to harass the Han Dynasty's logistics, the current situation is considered stable.
In short, the Han Dynasty cannot advance as far as before. After all, although the Han Dynasty has great advantages in terms of combat power, the difficulty of grain and grass logistics is really daunting. It bypasses the entire northern Kushan and from
To launch an offensive in the Kabul Valley, the logistical pressure is too great when the current road problem has not yet been resolved.
If Chen Gong and Mao Jie had not both judged that there would be a chance for a comeback, the Han Dynasty would have already retreated. With insufficient food and grass supplies, it is really not possible for ordinary people to continue fighting, even those who came to implement the plan.
They are all top elite troops.
But now, both Chen Gong and Mao Jie are being cautious. Fortunately, as the seeds continue to be sown, and now they are sprouting and heading, the pressure at the beginning has gradually been reduced a lot. Being able to stand firm and cultivate the fields means that
This war can continue to be fought.
If Beigui didn't farm and relied on the Indian plains behind them to support grain and grass, they could survive very well. Next, Chen Gong and Mao Jie only need to grind slowly to grind Beigui to death. It's a pity that there really is no such thing.
This is a good thing. Overall, Beigui’s hard power is indeed good.
Of course, the Han Dynasty was happy, but Beigui was obviously a little uncomfortable.
Up to now, in order to maintain the balance of power and prevent the Han Dynasty from breaking through the Kabul Valley and approaching the Khyber Pass, Beigui has dispatched several legions to block the Kabul Valley.
Although the commander of the Great Yueshi knew very well that if the battlefield took place near the Khyber Mountain Pass, they would have more or less top elites to assist him, but years of education made him very clear that the war could be far away from the Khyber Mountains.
It is as far away as Ershan Pass is.
No matter how good the calculation is, accidents may occur, and the Khyber Pass is too important. If something goes wrong here, at most he will die in battle, and then the current legion will be wiped out, but it will have no direct impact on the overall situation.
.
It’s no secret that the Dayue clan can get into an empire. They have eaten rice from the Indian plains for nearly a hundred years. Although their military camps cannot produce double talents in batches, the military camps in the north are full of regular soldiers, which consumes nothing at all.
Terrible.
And if the war takes place at the Khyber Pass, once something goes wrong, it will be really deadly. After all, it only takes thirty miles from the Khyber Pass to the capital, Peshawar.
Wanting to understand this, Guishuang began to work hard to accumulate strength here. It seemed that he wanted to gather enough strength to drive out the Han Dynasty in one go. However, due to the deterrence shown by Chen Gong, they had already gathered
Beigui, who had defeated six large legions, still did not take action.
Of course, this is not all the strength of Beigui. As the Yuezhi who have been alienated to the point that they don’t even cultivate fields and have fully launched militarization, the size of Beigui’s soldiers and legions is terrifying, and among them, the most important soldiers are those with the necessary skills.
A talented army is very large.
This is why Beigui didn't panic at all when he found out that the Han Dynasty had sent out a large number of top elites to teach him how to behave. Just hold on. As long as you stabilize, as long as you free up your hands, someone will naturally come to clean up the Han Dynasty.
top elites.
"Huh, we underestimated Guishuang." Chen Gong looked at the information sent by Chen Zhong with a slightly ugly look on his face.
"Isn't this the situation we all estimated before taking action? After all, it is an empire, and it is not that easy to deal with. If we could really win it at once, why would we have gathered so many elites under the banner of feint attack?"
Mao Jie had a calm mind.
"It's a pity that Beigui doesn't actually farm, and relies entirely on the south to raise food. Otherwise, the food has been grown now and is waiting to be harvested. We should be able to drag the other party to death by encroaching on the other party's grain-producing land.
"Yes." Chen Gong said sadly.
"Don't think about such a good thing. The troops gathered in Beigui are getting bigger and bigger. According to Chen Zhong, there are probably hundreds of military camps in Beigui. Almost all adult men are undergoing militarized training.
Our troubles are not small." Mao Jie said helplessly, "If it weren't for the conflict between the north and the south, the division of labor in Kushan might have caused us to suffer a lot."
Although Chen Gong and others had an understanding of Bei Gui before, they were not as profound as they are now. If before, they simply believed that Bei Gui was the evolution of Dayue clan, now Chen Gong has realized the core problem, and
That is, Beigui gave up on other routes and specialized in militarized aristocracy.
This is why the Han Dynasty has concentrated a lot of elites to start from the north, but it is very difficult to do so. It is just like attacking the Han Dynasty first and attacking Yongliang. What is even worse is that Yongliang has other places for blood transfusion, so that
They can be fully off-duty for military training.
It is said that Chen Gong does not know the future development. If he knew, he would understand the development path of this pure military aristocracy, and in the end, I am afraid that a special group like the Central Plains will be sublimated-the Guanlong aristocracy.
He has no other abilities, just being able to fight, especially being able to fight. He dares to fight anyone he catches, and he can kill anyone he catches. Anyway, his major is to learn combat, professionalize and specialize the job of a soldier, who earns food and wages, and finally create it.
A group with amazing fighting ability.
Bei Gui also followed this route, but Bei Gui relied on food from the south and did not have to farm. Speaking of which, this is also the advantage of having the Indus and Ganges plains. In the feudal era, it had the highest grain output.
Worried about food and salary issues.
This is because Beigui does not have such revolutionary thinking. Otherwise, in a hundred years, a military group like the Guanlong nobles in later generations would have been born long ago.
"It goes without saying that their grain advantage is too obvious. Even if the transshipment consumes a lot of money, they can't produce so much." Mao Jie said helplessly. After knowing the output of the Ganges and Indus rivers, Mao Jie
Jie didn't bother to say that the Yueshi were ruining the family property. If they had this foundation, why didn't they squander it?
"This is indeed a problem." Chen Gong sighed, "Have we established a line with Zhongda? Or, where are they now?"
"We are barely on the line. The letter brought by Zhongda's falconry said that the plan of surprise attack from the north can basically be abandoned." Mao Jie briefly explained the words in Sima Yi's letter, "It's better than ours over there.
It’s still difficult to leave Sichuan and Shu.”
"But isn't this coming?" Chen Gong waved his hand and said, Chen Gong doesn't care whether he leaves or not in the future. Anyway, since he has come over now, it's fine. As long as he comes over now, calculate the time to find a divine soldier.
They can kill the Beigui army that is blocking the front, and then rush to the Khyber Pass without Beigui reacting.
"But it will still take a few days to arrive." Mao Jie nodded and said, "At least we are here. The troops sent here are all elite soldiers, and the scale is not large. It actually consumes so much time. If it were a large army, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any
It’s half possible.”
"Let the soldiers recharge their batteries and prepare for a decisive battle. As long as we win here, we will have to send a magic weapon to the Khyber Pass even if we force a march. As long as we win there
, rely on the terrain for defense, and after a period of time, Kuishang will die." Chen Gong looked at Mao Jie and said solemnly.
"We're afraid we can't do it." Mao Jie sighed and said, "It's not a big problem for Sima Zhongda to arrive here on time, and it's not too troublesome for us to clear the way forward, but it's not safe for us to occupy the Khyber Pass.
live."
"..." Chen Gong was silent for a moment after hearing this. Their problem now is here. They are almost a lone army. Although their combat effectiveness is very strong, if they kill the Khyber Pass in one go, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will be defeated regardless of whether it is the southern or northern capital.
Unable to respond.
In that case, even if you can hold on for a considerable period of time, there is a high possibility that the entire army will be annihilated before reinforcements arrive.
"It's a pity. If the Han Dynasty is free now and we have reinforcements on the side, this plan is definitely feasible, and it will actually split Kushan into two." Chen Gong sighed, and he also knew that this plan was not realistic.
.
"It's not that, but let's play it safe. Your plan is likely to cost everyone present their lives, and the income may not be enough." Mao Jie shook his head and said, "Our current situation is to seek stability and to give money to others.
The Kushans have enough pressure to prevent them from withdrawing their main forces from the north on a large scale to deal with our southern army."
"I understand all this, but it's just a pity. However, the Khyber Pass must be attacked. It doesn't matter whether we defend it or not, but we must fight it, even if we have to pay some losses." Chen Gong said with a serious look, "That place
If it falls once, Kuishang should be on tenterhooks."
