Chapter 1,422 Taking the wrong path
Bumble nodded. To be honest, he never thought that one day he would cooperate with Daur and do something major that would change the fate of Kushan.
"Don't worry, my guards had already put the surrounding area under martial law when we got in the car. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know."
Daul naturally understood the importance of this matter, so he ordered the guards to isolate the surrounding area as early as when he got in the car.
"Okay, let's get ready to go. Now I just hope that, as Your Majesty said, the military expedition will be prosperous and the Chinese army will be swept away."
After saying this, Benbul stood up and got off Darau's carriage.
"One more thing, General, what are you going to do?
Should I notify you or leave it alone?"
Just when Wanbul was about to get off the car, Darau suddenly said these words.
"The general is the general, Wan Bu'er is Wan Bu'er. Goodbye, Prime Minister."
Wan Bu'er was slightly stunned, then got off the carriage, got on his own carriage and ran towards the residence of the minister in charge.
"Master Prime Minister, do you want to go back to your home now?"
Wanbul left, and Darau's guards immediately came to question him.
"Old fox, go home."
Looking at the crooked carriage, Darau closed the curtain directly.
As soon as the news spread that King Vesuthiva I was going to lead a personal expedition, the whole Loubaisha was shocked. Everyone was worried and surprised by his move to the north, but it has to be said that the morale of both the people and the soldiers of the various ministries was indeed improved.
Got up.
The imperial conquest is the only magic weapon to boost morale at any time. After all, who is Vesudeva I, the supreme ruler of the Kushan Empire? He can go to the battlefield for the Kushan Empire without fear of life and death. People like them are like ants.
There is nothing to be afraid of with the sergeant.
In five days, nearly 100,000 troops had been assembled, and then 20,000 heavy armored cavalry as the center army began to move north towards Gaofu.
Here the Emperor of Guishuang was conducting the expedition in person, and over there Yuan Shu, after resting for two days, also summoned a group of military ministers to come to discuss matters.
"What's next?"
Yuan Shu looked at everyone and directly asked them what they were going to do next.
"Your Majesty, there are only two passages to the south, one is through the Hindu Kush Mountains, and the other is through Gaofu."
Zhao Yun glanced at Kanyu in front of him and directly pointed out the two routes going south.
"Two routes, how do you think we should fight?"
Yuan Shu looked at the two routes and directly asked Zhao Yun how he wanted to fight.
"My opinion is to attack with infantry as the main attack from the Hindu Kush Mountains, and then use the mobility of the cavalry to quickly move south to seize the strategic location in Gaofu, and seize the south passage before the Kushans can react."
Zhao Yun had already thought about the way to attack south. He would separate his infantry and cavalry, attack simultaneously from both sides, and directly capture the Kushan people.
"What do you think?"
Yuan Shu nodded. Now that they have an advantage in military strength, they must maximize the advantage of the army.
"Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with General Yingyang's strategy."
No one said anything, except Wei Yan, who after thinking for a while, saluted Yuan Shu and spoke.
"How to say?"
Hearing Wei Yan's objection, Yuan Shu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, wondering what the other party wanted to say.
"I think we have been fighting in Daxia for a long time. Even if the Kushan people are slow to react, they will notice that the mountain road over the Hindu Kush Mountains is difficult. If it were me, I would never give China a chance. As long as it takes the effort
Wouldn't it be better to put some effort into destroying the mountain road on the Hindu Kush Mountains, and then concentrate all our efforts to defend the higher direction?"
Wei Yan glanced at Zhao Yun, then at Yuan Shu, who was in the first place, and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Well, what you said makes some sense."
Yuan Shu nodded. Although Wei Yan was a little high-spirited, he still had strength.
"What Wei Yan said is just a hypothesis. We haven't confirmed this yet. I think we should follow General Zhao Yun's opinion and divide the troops into two groups to go out separately."
Huang Zhong glanced at Wei Yan. Although the other party said that this was possible, it had not been confirmed after all. It would be too hasty to abandon the Hindu Kush mountain road just because of a guess.
"I'm not saying we should give up on the Hindu Kush, but we shouldn't have too high expectations there, so we don't need to allocate too many troops there. We should focus on Gaofu."
Wei Yan shook his head. He was talking about the matter. He just suggested that Yuan Shu should not put too much energy on the Hindu Kush Mountains, but should focus on Gaofu.
"Your Majesty, what General Wei Yan said is reasonable, but I am a bit one-sided. The mountain road on the Hindu Kush Mountains is difficult to travel, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army. Moreover, if they really destroy the mountain road, the army will be in vain.
We should really focus on Gao Fu’s side.”
Zhao Yun glanced at Wei Yan and saw that what the other party said was indeed reasonable, but he had not thought carefully about it before.
"Okay, Yuan Hao, what do you want to say?"
Yuan Shu glanced at a few people, and then turned his attention to Tian Feng.
"Your Majesty, it's better to let Gong Jin express his thoughts."
Tian Feng shook his head slightly and directly pushed Zhou Yu out. Now was the opportunity to train his juniors. He had already made a plan in his mind. It just depends on what Zhou Yu thinks.
"Well, Gongjin, tell me what you think."
Yuan Shu was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately felt relieved and glanced at Zhou Yu, who was silent.
"Your Majesty, based on what the previous generals said, I also have my own ideas. The focus now is on the Hindu Kush Mountains. From what I see, no matter whether there is a problem there, it is not suitable to be the main attack direction, but it can be dispatched.
A surprise troop passed by,
They don’t need too many people, just about 30,000. If the mountain road is really blocked, they can use their own power to cross the Hindu Kush Mountains, sneak attack on the hinterland of Kushan, and even penetrate directly into the Kushan Imperial Capital, Loubaisha.
Naturally, we must attack with all our strength in the high-level direction, focusing on the positive and supplementing by the odd. This is the best strategy."
Zhou Yu thought for a while and directly expressed his thoughts. His suggestions were generally in line with everyone else's ideas, but he emphasized on focusing on the positive and supplementing the odd. He did not focus on one path, but adopted a two-pronged approach. A breakthrough would occur along the way.
It was a heavy blow to Kushan.
"Well, what Gong Jin said is right. We should give priority to good things and supplement them with strange things. However, we should also give hope to the Hindu Kush Mountains. Thirty thousand people are a bit too few. We should send fifty thousand people there, just in case it really happens.
If we break through and hit Loubaisha directly, we can destroy the Kushan Empire in one fell swoop."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Tian Feng nodded. He thought the same thing, but Zhou Yu was still a little conservative. Since the main force was to be positive and the odd force was the supplement, he had to have hope for the odd force. If 30,000 people really broke through the attack
Lou Baisha is really not enough, so we might as well send more people there.
Yuan Shu also quite understood what Tian Feng meant. Since he said so, there was nothing to hesitate about.
"I'm here."
"I'm here."
"I'm here."
The five of them looked at each other and stepped out together, cupping their fists and saluting Yuan Shu.
"With Huang Zhong as the chief general and Wei Yan as the deputy general, we will supplement the troops and horses of the fifth army of Shesheng, and then go south to attack the Hindu Kush Mountains."
Although this surprise attack strategy was proposed by Wei Yan, he is very sharp and likes to take strange paths. If the general gives it to him, he is afraid that the other party will do something wrong, so Huang Zhong is more stable.
"Huang Zhong obeys the order."
To be honest, Huang Zhong never thought that he could become the coach of the side army, but since Yuan Shu recognized him, he had to complete this task.
"Wei Yan obeys the order."
Wei Yan glanced at Yuan Shu and then at Huang Zhong. He originally thought that he could become the coach of this side army, but he didn't expect that Huang Zhong was given the advantage. This really made him depressed.
But since Yuan Shu has said so, what can he do as an insignificant little general? Only doing what he should do well is what he should think about now.
"Zhou Tai obeys."
"Jiang Qin obeys the order."
The other two people had nothing to say and simply bowed to Yuan Shu and obeyed his orders.
"Xu Chu, do you have any opinions?"
Looking at Xu Chu who was silent, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown, not understanding what the other party was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Xu Chu requests to step down as General Xiaohu."
Xu Chu knelt down on one knee and saluted Yuan Shu.
"What are you doing again?"
Looking at Xu Chu, Yuan Shu was also depressed for a while. He really couldn't understand what this guy was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Xu Chu doesn't think he is capable of commanding troops. The Xiaohu Army has indeed blinded these soldiers in my hands. That's why I am eager to step down and hand them over to a more suitable general to lead. And I only ask that your Majesty
I am content to be a little guard by my side."
Xu Chu shook his head. He really didn't want to be a general. He knew his abilities and was good at charging into battle, but if he was asked to train and train troops, he really wasn't the material. Instead of scratching his head in areas he was not good at,
It would be better to simply give up and stay by Yuan Shu's side safely.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, but it is somewhat inappropriate for you to step down as the commander-in-chief of the Tiger Roaring Army now. If this is the case, I will transfer you to the Guards after the conquest of Guishuang is completed."
After hearing Xu Chu's explanation, Yuan Shu also nodded. Xu Chu did have this character. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have only assigned Xu Chu the position of commander of the guards.
But now is the time for the crusade against Kushan, and suddenly no one can be found to accept the candidate for the Tiger Roar Army, so we can only let him take charge first and wait until he returns to China to make plans.
"Xu Chu accepts the order."
When Xu Chu heard what Yuan Shu said, he had nothing to say. Everything put the holy name first. If he wanted to be transferred to the Guards, he could only wait until after the crusade against Kushan.
"Your Majesty, let Gong Jin follow Han Sheng and Wen Chang. If any problems arise along the way, he can help with suggestions."
Now that the expedition troops and generals had been decided, Tian Feng looked at Zhou Yu again. The back-road army still lacked a military advisor, and it was just right for Zhou Yu to take over.
"Well, Zhou Yu listens."
Yuan Shu nodded. He didn't need Tian Feng to tell him, he had to send Zhou Yu there. After all, Tian Feng was in charge of the main force, and it would be somewhat inappropriate if the side army was just a bunch of rough guys.
"Zhou Yu is here."
Zhou Yu stepped forward and saluted Yuan Shu.
"I will appoint you as the military advisor of the side army to assist Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in their attack on the Hindu Kush Mountains."
"Zhou Yu accepted the order."
"Okay, the rest of the troops have gathered their troops. Except for the necessary troops left behind, the rest of the army will go out and go south to Gaofu. Zhao Yun, you lead the cavalry first.
If there is an opportunity, directly occupy the key points going south. If the enemy's defense is strong, temporarily stop the attack and wait for the arrival of the army. The main thing is to preserve the vitality."
After deciding on the troops and horses of the back-routing army, Yuan Shu stood up directly and announced that the rest of the army would go south and attack Gaofu Province.
"promise."
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and saluted Yuan Shu. He had expected that he would become the vanguard, but if the situation was as everyone guessed, the chances of Gao Fu's cavalry being used were not high.
