Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3802 Strategic Thinking

Screening for spies? If Xun Qi could be screened, then Wei Sudepo I would have to consider whether Zhu Helai was a traitor. This problem is even bigger!

Therefore, during this period of time, Xun Qi is just doing ordinary work, keeping an eye on this side, and telling Guishuang not to mess around. As for counter-espionage or something, Xun Qi is not worried at all. He is standing at a higher level now, so he is waiting for something It is time to seize the opportunity and make Oswin his subordinate.

Xun Qi has basically stopped doing other things. In fact, as long as he stays in Peshawar, he does nothing and maintains the current operating mode of the two-capital system. The development of time automatically crazily bites the female city over there.

For Xun Qi, his situation is naturally very good, so the main task recently is to contain the emotions of the bureaucrats in Peshawar, to accumulate anger points for these bureaucrats, and wait for the opportunity to make a big move to Qunv City. A tough one.

Although Mahinde is also very important, but he didn't come to Peshawar, Xun Qi paid attention to him for a while, and decided that the other party was basically cold, so he didn't care about it. How could he think that Mahinde actually went to the mountain city of Bactria? .

"Now that the soldiers have been trained and the supplies are ready, the problem is what we will eat when we go up. This batch of transportation can be said to have emptied Baktra. It is impossible for us to have such a large-scale transportation body." Measured." Fu Ward looked at Mahind and said with a sigh.

Fu Ward gave up camel riding. To be precise, he did not give up camel riding, but gave up camels. After all, if he wants to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, camels are really cumbersome, and cavalry are basically cumbersome. They can survive there. Horses, the basic shoulder height does not exceed 1.4 meters.

The larger the horse, the greater the demand for oxygen. In fact, the same is true for humans. The stronger the horse, the more oxygen it consumes. Of course, it takes time to adapt.

After being reminded by Mahinde, Fu Ward also realized the advantages brought by the initiative. In fact, he also knew very well that even if he took 40,000 people to Qinghai-Tibet, he would not be able to defeat the Han Dynasty. The area is all native to the Han Dynasty. In this way, one or two legions that can take the initiative to attack can contain dozens of times the strength of the Han army.

This is actually the way Tubo fought against the Tang Dynasty. The native population of Tubo was only three to four million, and the so-called ruling population totaled tens of millions. In fact, it was more of a population that Tubo only had after the Tang Dynasty collapsed after the Anshi Rebellion and entered the mid-Tang Dynasty.

That's right, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was in the middle period. It is not the normal impression that the Tang Dynasty will be over when the Anshi Rebellion ends. In fact, there are still 150 years from the Anshi Rebellion to the end of the Tang Dynasty, but this period of time is for most people. There is almost no impression on people.

Many people even feel that there should be hundreds of years between the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty. In fact, there were only 53 years between the end of the Tang Dynasty and the addition of Song Taizu's yellow robe. The Anshi Rebellion was only a mid-term shock for the Tang Dynasty. Still far, far away.

As for why it feels like the Tang Dynasty disappeared after Tianbao, it is actually an outrageous impression. From Tang Taizong to Tang Xuanzong, it is generally on the rise, whether it is external, economic, or cultural. rising, and it is rising explosively.

When Shimin faced Tubo, they defeated each other, but they were unable to make progress. The two sides formed a good nephew. It can be said that this was one of the few wars in the early Tang Dynasty that lost very badly, and it was the kind that lost consecutive battles and lost the soil.

Later, Li Zhi may also find that Tang Jun is really unable to advance, so he changed his thinking, adjusted his tactics, and began to fight in the Western Regions and Tubo. He fought a series of battles for Anxi, but the overall situation was still on the defensive.

Although the total strength of the Tubo side was far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, the initiative was in their hands, and they took the initiative to find holes along the long border of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhi was hammered into the strategic defense.

Later came the period of Wu Zetian, let’s not talk about it in the early days. Tubo had a great advantage, and Datang was hammered to the point of abandoning the four towns of Anxi. This is also the reason why history books say that Wu Zhao lost power and humiliated the country.

The problem lies later. In the second year of Wu Zhao's ascension to the throne, the army arrived in Anxi, defeated Tubo, took back the four towns of Anxi, and established the Anxi Protectorate. With six victories, the Tang Dynasty stood firm in Qinghai.

After that, it actually came to Xuanzong. What should Xuanzong say? This person needs to be divided into two stages, one for the brain and one for the other.

In the first half, Xuanzong, starting from the Battle of Wujie, gradually gained the upper hand. When Tubo was completely suppressed in the Helong area later, Xuanzong directly moved to Qinghai to farm, and beat Tubo to death.

Compared with Li Zhi and Wu Zhao's style of play, Xuanzong's attitude is very clear. His father has a lot of money, a lot of people, a lot of soldiers, and a lot of generals. Simple, comprehensive encirclement tactics, from Kashmir to the Western Regions, from the Western Regions to Longyou, from Kashmir to the Western Regions. Longyou to Hequ, Central Asia from Afghanistan to Pakistan, all-out war.

In a series of wars such as the Battle of Wujie, the Battle of Shibaocheng, and the Battle of Xiaobolu in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong crossed thousands of miles and stabbed the whole body of Tubo from Central Asia, cutting Tubo and Central Asia at the same time, and won a comprehensive victory. The dynasty also reached its peak.

By this time, Xuanzong's soldiers were all stationed in the Yanbian area of ​​Qinghai-Tibet, and then there was nothing behind him. This is the state of Xuanzong. When he was a super god, he was a super god, and when he was a super ghost, he was a super ghost. This step, even if it is handed over to Li Zhi, who is relatively good at the front, Li Zhi can smash Tubo.

It's a pity that there is no follow-up, so there is no need to describe it, but from here we can see how troublesome Tubo is after having the ability to actively attack.

What Mahinde actually wants is not victory, what he wants is time. The wise men such as Zhu Helai, Mahinde, and Banerjee have actually seen through the problem of the current route that Vesudeva I is taking. There is a wrong way.

With the unity of political power and religious power, the power of the country will rise rapidly in a short period of time. As for the chaos in the short term, this is actually an inevitable process of reform. Therefore, the purpose of Zhu He to come to these people is very clear, which is to delay this period of time. Face the ancient empire of the Han Dynasty with the strength of the new empire.

Under this premise, Ma Xinde suggested that Fu Ward send troops to Qinghai-Tibet in order to contain the troops of the Han Dynasty and buy time for Guishuang.

This time does not need to be too long. In Ma Xinde's view, as long as Fu Ward successfully arrives in Qinghai-Tibet and can solve the logistical problems in two or three years, then Fu Ward can hold back hundreds of thousands of Han troops for the same amount of time. That's right. Mahinde's cognition is very clear, Qinghai-Tibet is not a problem of combat effectiveness, but a problem of logistics.

However, this logistical problem can't be solved, at least Mahinde can't solve it.

On Bhaktra's side, Fu Ward dispatched 40,000 available elites to mobilize all the grain and grass logistics. After calculating the transportation loss, Fu Ward found that the grain and grass he had prepared might not take three months after he arrived in Yanbian, Qinghai-Tibet. months.

You must know that this is Bhaktra, the capital of the ancient Great Xia Kingdom, and an important town in the north of Guishuang. In the official history, it has provided the food and grass for Guishuang's 110,000 troops to fight for a year.

But now there are more food and grass hoarded, and the scale of dispatching troops is only 40,000, and the marching speed is faster. As a result, after going to Qinghai-Tibet on the plateau, the food and grass are only enough for three months?

"This food and grass can't be solved at all, okay?" Fu Ward was a little confused, he didn't know where the food and grass were inexplicably consumed, what's wrong?

"My suggestion is this. You use horses to transport. Although horses eat more, horses transport more. As for the problem of Arabia not being able to reach the plateau, kill them and make them into dried horse meat." Mahinde He said with a cold expression.

"..." Fu Ward looked at Mahind, and Ma Hind also looked at Fu Ward.

"In this way, the food and grass for one more month will be exhausted. We will have no food and grass for four months." Fu Ward pondered for a moment, but he still agreed with Mahinde's suggestion, but it was not enough. In 2010, when he could only survive for four months, the Han Dynasty only needed to mobilize troops to defend him. After a period of time, he died.

But in only four months, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to change its focus. Even as soon as he had this idea, he, Fu Ward, died, and he died of being extremely aggrieved because of lack of food.

"There is also a Zhang Zhung Dynasty over there, with about 400,000 people. The lamas I placed have already entered. After all, Nepal is the birthplace of Buddhism, and they also have small-scale connections there." Ma Xin De said calmly.

"400,000 people can support 40,000 troops?" Fu Ward looked at Ma Xinde and said with a sneer, I'm afraid you are joking, ten to one raises troops, that is simply a dream, okay, you have to consider the reality of the military.

"It won't work for a long time, but in three to five years, it is still possible to fight the people's livelihood. Besides, there may be more than 400,000 people there. Such a large territory is half the size of Guishuang. Maybe the population can be even more Some." Mahinde shook his head and said, he was trying to buy time, not for any follow-up development, so it can be supported.

"Do you have the distribution of the Zhang Zhung Dynasty?" Fu Ward looked at Mahinde and asked.

"Not all, but wait until I can find their tribal chiefs. I arranged them in Shule, and the people in Khotan have already contacted some Qinghai-Tibet tribes. They are quite rich." Ma Xinde was quite confident, and Fu Ward nodded when he heard the words, if so, you can try it.

Don't look at Fu Ward being hammered by Li Jue, but in fact, Fu Ward's camel riding can be ranked in the whole world, so he has the same attitude as the Han Dynasty. What is the Xiangxiong Dynasty, as long as I can find it , can definitely cut to death.

It’s New Year’s Eve, everyone, the author decided to add an update tomorrow to celebrate the New Year~
