Tian Feng drank the wine in front of him again, and then expressed his thoughts.
"What the Prime Minister means is that Dawan Elementary School may not support Huaxia's attack on Guishuang, but if it can convince Kang Ju first, then Dawan will be able to solve it easily?"
Zhou Yu is talented and intelligent. When Tian Feng said this, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Although Kangju and Dawan have different national powers, Dawan will have more worries than Kangju, making it more difficult to make a decision. On the contrary, if he can go first
When it comes to Kangju, Dawan is no longer a problem.
"That's right. Also, the five thousand troops and horses you mentioned are a bit small. Let General Yan Liang bring ten thousand Yingyang cavalry over. On the one hand, it can show the strength of China. On the other hand, if the other party has evil intentions, it will be somewhat
The power of self-preservation.”
Tian Feng nodded. Talking to smart people is easy. He only needs to mention it casually, and the other person will know what he is thinking, which saves worry and effort.
Zhou Yu is a newcomer that Yuan Shu values very much. It doesn’t matter whether the alliance between Kang Ju and Dawan succeeds, but the safety of the other party must be guaranteed.
Therefore, he chose to let the other party bring ten thousand eagles and raise an army there. This would not only demonstrate China's strength, but also ensure his safety at the critical moment.
"Okay, then I'll go down and prepare, and try to go north to Kangju Country as quickly as possible."
Now that Tian Feng said so, what else could Zhou Yu say.
"Okay, prepare as soon as possible. I will inform General Yan Liang about the soldiers and horses."
"promise."
Zhou Yu left, and Tian Feng directly called Yan Liang over.
"Prime Minister."
Yan Liang saluted Tian Feng, not knowing what he was calling for.
"General Yan Liang, His Majesty has ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 eagles to escort Zhou Yu north to Kangju and Dawan to discuss alliance matters."
For a general like Yan Liang, Tian Feng had nothing to say and directly stated Yuan Shu's will.
"Yan Liang obeys the order, I will prepare troops and horses right away."
Yan Liang is a veteran of the Jizhou Army and will not disobey Yuan Shu's orders at all. Even if he is about to attack Guishuang now, he has nothing to say.
"General Yan Liang, wait a moment, I have something else to explain."
Seeing Yan Liang about to leave, Tian Feng directly called him to stop.
"Prime Minister, please speak."
Yan Liang was also stunned when he heard that the other party had something to explain.
"Zhou Yu will be the leader this time when we go north, but one thing is that if the situation changes and something endangers Zhou Yu, you can temporarily take command and ensure Zhou Yu's safety no matter what, this is the bottom line, do you understand?
"
Tian Feng glanced at Yan Liang and directly said what he wanted him to do.
"I see, Yan Liang understands."
After hearing Tian Feng's arrangement, Yan Liang also nodded. Zhou Yu's role is comparable to that of thousands of troops, and it has a great impact on China.
"Well, go ahead and remember to ensure that Zhou Yu returns safely."
"promise."
Yan Liang clasped his fists again, and then left to reorganize his troops and prepare to follow Zhou Yu north to Kangju.
Zhou Yu was ready by himself, and Yan Liang organized his army very quickly. He directly asked Zhao Yun for 10,000 Yingyang cavalry to escort Zhou Yu away from the army and head north towards Kang Juguo.
After Zhou Yu left, Yuan Shu directly ordered Zhao Yun to be the commander-in-chief and Yan Xing to be the deputy commander to command the Yingyang Army, the Suppression Army, 20,000 Wusun cavalry, 20,000 Xiongnu cavalry, 20,000 Bingzhou cavalry, 10,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and four
Ten thousand Xianbei cavalry, nearly 150,000 cavalry, crossed the Congling Mountains directly, broke through the sky and earth, and entered the territory of the Kushan Empire.
Facing the Chinese cavalry, Li Te Province could not resist at all. Fortunately, the cavalry attack was not strong. The soldiers of Li Te Province were divided into several larger city-states to protect them, and they did not dare to make any counterattack.
Rijeka was trapped in Malakanda, the capital of Lit Province, and could not make an effective counterattack at all. It could only desperately send messengers to Khwarazm and Bactria Provinces, hoping that they could send troops to support, and at the same time, again
Scouts were dispatched to Peshawar at an accelerated speed of 800 miles to report the situation to Vesudeva I.
The leader of Khwarazm is Sakun, the leader of the Kunkel tribe, the largest tribe in the area. If the emperor is the first person in the country in the Kushan Empire, and Haravan is the first person in the military, then it is the turn of the local area to be the first person.
This person is none other than Sakun of the Kunkel tribe.
Not only did he firmly control the military power of Khwarezm, but Daxia and Lite also wanted to act based on his face. If the central government of Kushan was not too powerful, the governor of Khwarezm would not have such great ambitions.
, maybe what is the situation now.
Since the Kushan royal family conquered several territories, they have transformed from a nomadic people into a city-state nation, while the Khwarezm people have always maintained the habits of the nomadic people, so they have been sending a large number of elite cavalry to the Kushans.
Now, although Khwarezm has mobilized 30,000 cavalry to go south due to the war crisis in the south, the main force of the Kunkel tribe has not moved at all.
If the other party is willing, he can easily recruit 50,000 elite cavalry from his clan, and he can also recruit another 50,000 cavalry from the clan under his command.
In other words, one Khwarezmian alone could send another hundred thousand troops, all of them cavalry.
The province of Bactria is not weak either. It is different from Asian civilization. It was born out of Bactria and is a place where ancient Greek civilization is truly inherited.
Spartan soldier education has been passed down here since ancient times, providing the best quality infantry for the Kushan Empire. Among them, the 10,000 heavy infantrymen destroyed by General Hariwan were all from Bactria. This time the Kushan Empire gritted its teeth again
Organized 10,000 heavy armored infantry to support the battlefield on the southern front,
There are now tens of thousands of elite infantry in Bactria. The governor of Bactria is also a prince of the royal family of the Kushan Empire, Prince Vespit, who is known as the most proficient in fighting in the imperial family.
Li Te Province can be said to exist between two powerful provinces, but it also has its own uniqueness, that is, its large population. This is why after supporting tens of thousands of troops and horses on the southern front, there are also
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were stationed.
"Zilong, the entire Li Te Province is full of cows. If this continues, we won't achieve much results."
Yan Xing glanced at Zhao Yun, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes. He originally thought that when his 150,000 cavalry entered Li Te Province, the other party would be unable to resist it, and might even surrender directly.
But it is a pity that the opponent is not a small country in the Western Regions, but a serious province of the Kushan Empire, so there is no tendency to surrender to them.
"The mission of the cavalry is not to capture cities and territories, but to move in and out and annihilate the enemy's effective forces through large-scale maneuvers. It doesn't matter if Li Te Province does not surrender. There are hundreds of thousands of troops behind your majesty. We cannot take away your majesty's credit."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly. He led his cavalry to attack, and he had no intention of asking the enemy to surrender. His mission was just to make the enemy move, and then annihilate the enemy's effective forces in action. This is the true use of cavalry.
"So what do we do now?"
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Yan Xing had nothing to say. Since you want to use the mobility of the cavalry, what should you do now?
"To the north of Lit Province is Khwarezm. It is rich in fine cavalry and is the most important source of Kushan cavalry. That is where we can exert our strength. This time I plan to mix all the soldiers and horses and divide them into fifteen
Ten thousand troops each attacked the Khwarezm area."
Zhao Yun glanced at Yan Xing and directly expressed his thoughts. The 150,000 cavalry were divided into 150,000 troops and attacked Khwarezm separately. This was a bit too cruel.
"Zilong, isn't this appropriate?"
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Yan Xing was dumbfounded. What kind of magical method is this? You must know that the Kushan Empire is not a small country, and Khwarezm is the place where the Kushan Empire's cavalry is produced.
If you attack with 150,000 cavalry, I believe that no matter how powerful the opponent is, it will be difficult to resist.
But now you have to disperse your superior troops and divide them into 150,000 troops. He really doesn't understand what Zhao Yun is planning.
"I know you are afraid that Khwarezm will concentrate its forces and defeat us one by one, right?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Yan Xing and directly expressed his worries.
"Yes, you also know that Khwarezm is rich in cavalry. According to the intelligence collected before the war, they can now dispatch as few as 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry, and even more than 100,000 cavalry. If we divide our forces to attack,
It is very likely that the opponent will gather superior forces and defeat them one by one."
Yan Xing nodded, that's what he meant.
"Yan Ming, do you know what is the most important thing in marching and fighting?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Yan Xing, but directly asked a question that puzzled him.
"Army morale, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies are all top priorities. If you were to say that the most important thing is logistical supplies, after all, the army cannot survive without food. If there is a problem with logistics, the army will definitely collapse immediately.
"
Yan Xing thought about it, and after sifting through it, he finally chose logistics supplies.
"Logistics and supplies are important, but I think the most important thing in the battle between the two counties is intelligence. As long as we can be one step ahead of the enemy in terms of intelligence, we can avoid the enemy's superior troops.
Moreover, when the enemy sees that we are dividing our troops to attack, they will definitely find a way to stop us, and there is only one way to stop us, that is, they also have to divide their troops. As long as they divide their troops, we can gather superior troops and horses to attack Huala.
Zimo’s troops and horses.”
Zhao Yun glanced at Yan Xing and directly expressed his thoughts.
"You mean to use the convenience of the transmitter to convey messages and flexibly mobilize troops and horses. If the enemy gathers troops, we will withdraw. If the enemy divides his troops, we will gather troops and horses to eat the opponent?"
Yan Xing is not a foolhardy man. When he heard Zhao Yun point out the importance of information, he immediately understood what the other party meant. He wanted to use the convenience of telegraph to convey information to overwhelm those who still rely on men and horses to convey information.
Lazimo Cavalry.
"Yes, that's what I think. Our advantages must be maximized. Since we have such an artifact as the telegraph, why not turn it into combat effectiveness?"
Zhao Yun nodded, that's what he meant.
"But we only brought two transmitters, not that many."
Yan Xing glanced at the other party. Although his idea was good and feasible, the hardware facilities were quite different. He could still see the difference between two and fifteen.
"We don't have it, but your Majesty does. I'll send a telegram to His Majesty right away, informing him of my thoughts, and let His Majesty make a decision. If Your Majesty agrees, he will naturally send troops and horses to escort the telegraph machine for our use."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly. If it had been before, he would never have come up with such a marching method. Now that they have the conditions, they can just use the cavalry of Khwarezm to attack.
