The north of Xixia and the vicinity of the royal city were firmly controlled by the northern army, while the south was completely in chaos. Under the deception of Zeng Yi and others, several rebel leaders began to prepare to capture the promise of the Central Plains court.
This king of Xixia.
After the Northwest Army left 100,000 elite troops to guard the south of Xixia, the rest of the army was deployed on the northern border of Xixia. Although Xixia divided its troops, the army deployed in the north of Xixia faced the grassland forces directly. This made Meng Ge very worried. He had no choice but to
We can only mobilize a large number of troops and deploy them in the border areas.
In fact, as the war has developed so far, the four-nation coalition has long existed in name only, with only the grasslands and Persia left. The Persian army, the strongest, has been partially held back by the southwestern army stationed in Tubo, and the remaining main army is trapped in the quagmire of players.
At this time, Persia actually knew very well that its plan to attack the Central Plains was basically over. Even if it could win the Western Region, it would be very difficult.
Persia was held back, and the grassland basically became a one-on-one duel with the Central Plains. In fact, Brother Meng of the grassland also knew very well that it was impossible to defeat the Central Plains with the strength of the grassland. But now that the matter had come to this, Brother Meng could not turn back, and the grassland was still
Unlike other countries, it was a united force of major tribes, and the Great Khan was not considered an emperor.
It is more like a martial arts leader. With high reputation and strength, this martial arts leader may have more power than the emperor. The emperor also has major families and officials to check and balance the power. For such a great Khan, he basically has the final say on the grassland.
But if the reputation is not enough or damaged, and the strength cannot crush other tribes, then the martial arts leader is just a decoration, and someone may even replace him at any time.
Meng Ge clearly knew that there was not much chance of winning the war in the Central Plains, but now there is no other way. Meng Ge also thought about withdrawing the troops, but once the troops were withdrawn, the armies gathered by the major tribes would basically fall apart.
This is a huge blow to his reputation and strength. Once an uncontrollable situation occurs, his position as the Great Khan will be in danger. At least the Khitan tribe is watching with eager eyes, and Yelu Hongji may take the opportunity to attack him.
In fact, the war has developed to this point. If the Central Plains mobilizes a large army and attacks from Xixia on the northwest route, it will not solve the grassland problem. However, the court does not want to do this. On the one hand, there will be too many casualties. The most important thing is that in the grassland, except for Wang Ting and several major tribes,
Khan, the location of Khan's battle is still a city. There are basically no cities in other places. People in the grassland are nomadic people, living in pursuit of water and grass. They have no fixed place at all. If wars develop in the grassland, they will basically be field battles.
This is a natural advantage for the prairie army, which is all cavalry.
Even if the Central Plains army can finally defeat the grassland army, it will not be able to completely occupy the grassland. People live in pursuit of water and grass, and have no fixed place. At worst, they can just change places. How do you occupy it?
In its current form, the Central Plains has a very easy way to deal with the grasslands. It only needs to drag on the war. As long as it is delayed until winter, when the wind and snow arrive, the grassland people will definitely not be able to withstand it. For the grassland people,
In fact, the weather has always been their biggest enemy. There is never enough food in the grasslands. They always need to import it from the Central Plains, Xixia and even Persia. After the war began, the Central Plains, the largest source of food, has completely cut off the food and tea trade.
.
As a last resort, the grassland can only obtain a large amount of food from Xixia and Persia, and Xixia from Persia also strongly supports it. Unfortunately, in the current situation, Tubo has been destroyed, Xixia has also been wiped out, and the only food that the grassland can obtain now needs to be imported from Persia.
Once the grassland loses its food source, it will be a disaster for the grassland. Maybe slaughtering cattle and sheep can allow them to persist for a while, but eventually the grassland will definitely suffer from famine. By then, Meng Ge will not be able to solve the problem, and the grassland will inevitably split.
If we send out more troops, it will be much easier for the Central Plains army.
But I don’t know how long it will take to wait for the snow to seal the mountains. To be honest, the Central Plains cannot wait that long. The cost of war in the Central Plains and the grassland is different. For such a large army in the grassland, other than food and grass, there is no need for anything else.
Too much, even the horses and weapons of the grassland soldiers come with their own, but the Central Plains army has been in this state, and the price is high. The longer it takes, the greater the financial pressure on the Central Plains. If it costs
Too much money will be a problem for the Central Plains. By then, there may not even be the capital to transform Xixia.
Regarding dealing with the grassland, the imperial court has discussed it countless times. The Ministry of War has also formulated a plan to send an elite army from Xixia into the western region of the grassland to cut off the grassland's access to food. But this plan is not easy to implement. People's grassland
People are also very aware of the importance of the west to the grassland, and have long been prepared. Not to mention the border defense against the northwest army, the western region and the grassland are also fully prepared. It would take hundreds of thousands to cut off this road.
A large army is probably unlikely.
Lord Zhou Yi once suggested using players to attack the western part of the grassland to cut off the grassland's access to food. However, this is almost equally difficult. According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, every time food is obtained from Persia, whether it is Persia or the grassland, the whole process will be completed.
Send an army for protection.
As far as the player's current power is concerned, only the big guilds have the ability, and the power of these big guilds is mainly concentrated in the Western Region. It is basically impossible for the major guilds to abandon the Western Region to complete such a task.
Zeng Yi Qinglong and others who were still in Xixia were also worried about this matter.
"Master, in this situation, we have to find a way to cut off the supply line to the grassland. Otherwise, I don't know how long the war will be delayed!"
"It is too difficult to cut off the lifeline of the grassland!" Qinglong shook his head and said helplessly.
"Yes, the southwest army is currently stationed in Tubo, and the northwest army is stationed in Xixia. It is somewhat impossible to mobilize a large army to attack!"
After a moment of silence, Zeng Yi said: "Actually, it would be a good idea to put down the grasslands first and target Persia!"
"you mean?"
"Actually, there is only one real enemy left in this war. If the imperial court can break through Persia, the so-called supply line will basically exist in name only without actively cutting it off!"
"You mean, deal with Persia first?"
Seeing Zeng Yi nodding, several people fell silent. They were all engaged in intelligence, and they all knew the strength of Persia very well. Persia was definitely the most powerful among the four-nation coalition. If you want to break through Persia, there is no one worth millions.
