Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 6769 Preconditions for Victory
"We are still not sure about the real situation. Although we have collected intelligence about Cao Ang before, especially when Cao Ang was in charge of Kandahar, we specially established a file about Cao Ang, but those contents are far from enough." Tawasdes shook his head and said.
The capital is small, so he is cautious. Tawasdes is extremely cautious about taking risks. It is not that he cannot take risks. If he does not take risks, he will have no hope. However, taking risks also requires a grasp. If you can't see the situation clearly, you will rush forward. That is not called taking risks, that is called seeking death.
"Then strengthen the collection of intelligence about Cao Ang." Ardashir did not say much after hearing this. Although he is a little impulsive now, looking at his lost left arm, he knows that now is definitely not the time to take action. Let's wait for accurate information for the time being.
"Let's withdraw to Kabul first. In the current situation, if a flash flood breaks out, it will be even worse for us." Tawasdes naturally changed the subject.
Tavasdes had collected some intelligence about Cao Ang before. Judging from experience, Cao Ang's replacement with Cao Cao would be very beneficial to Ardashir. Even though Cao Ang was better at uniting people, the terrain of Beigui was such that Cao Ang, who was seeking stability, could not change the situation. The general environment here was doomed. Only by taking a risk and winning a strategic victory could the situation be changed.
If he sought stability, unless he was strong enough to crush Ardashir, he could only delay time.
Is Cao Ang's power strong? Very strong, but it is far from crushing Ardashir. In fact, even if the support given by Chen Xi at that time was brought over, it did not crush Ardashir. In this case, seeking stability has no meaning.
[Huh, this is also good news. Next, we only need to keep an eye on Cao Ang and determine his determination. Later, we only need to wait for the right opportunity. Maybe we can really take down Kandahar in one go. 】A faint smile appeared on Tavasdes' face. After so much trouble, he finally had some hope. All the previous efforts were just accumulating opportunities for him.
On the other side, Cao Zhen, who was staying with Liu Xian, was considering what to do next. Cao Ang's succession to the throne was not a bad thing for Cao Zhen, but even Cao Zhen knew that Cao Ang had a considerable gap in ability with Cao Cao. In this case, the subsequent war would only become more difficult.
"Zidan, why do you look so melancholy?" Liu Xian looked at Cao Zhen and asked.
"Nothing, nothing." Cao Zhen was stunned at first, then shook his head and said that he could not tell Liu Xian about his worries. Even though Liu Xian was respected by the officers of the Cao and Xiahou families because of his performance in the past two years, it was better not to spread Cao Zhen's doubts about Cao Ang's ability.
"Believe in your elder brother, he is not that simple." Liu Xian glanced at his son-in-law. As the person who escorted Cao Ang into the secret prison and stayed there until Cao Cao sent him to the secret prison, even if he did not see the end, he had seen a lot of things. Moreover, Liu Xian had confirmed from his son-in-law again and again that Cao Cao really put on the crown.
What this behavior means, Liu Xian can understand it after a little thought.
As one of the earliest counselors to follow Cao Cao, Liu Xian is not outstanding among this group of people, but he is always sent back and forth as an envoy, and he successfully completes the task every time, which is enough to show that Liu Xian has a good grasp of human nature.
So Cao Cao, a guy with evil heart and outstanding ability, was willing to put on the crown for Cao Ang when he was overthrown. It can only be said that Cao Cao was convinced of his defeat in front of his son, and Liu Xian did not think that Cao Ang's ability shown over the years was possible. If it is said the other way around, it would be even more terrifying.
Cao Zhen didn't understand what he said, but he nodded. Now that things have come to this, he can only trust his elder brother. There is really no hope for anything else.
Just when Liu Xian was communicating with Cao Zhen, Ardashir sent someone to invite Liu Xian and his party, expressing his willingness to discuss the matter of changing the world with them, and willing to agree on a time to start together.
When the two parties signed the contract, Liu Xian tried to ask for peace talks again. As he expected, he was rejected, so he didn't continue to speak, but silently signed the cooperation agreement to change the world, and then left here quickly with this agreement.
[Is Cao Pingxi really going to launch a strong attack at this time? ] Liu Xian weighed the silk cloth in his hand with a bit of thought. Before, Cao Ang repeatedly warned him that he could not negotiate no matter what, and only talked about changing the world. Before, Liu Xian was thinking about the mission and didn't think about it carefully, but now that the matter Cao Ang had explained has been resolved, Liu Xian can't help but start to think about other things.
[It's impossible. In this situation, there is no stability under the rule. How to attack? Liu Xian thought about it for a while and couldn't help but sneer. How could such a thing be possible?
Just as Liu Xian was thinking about whether to send troops next, Cao Ang, after explaining to Mao Jie and thinking carefully, went to Barak's house in Kandahar in person.
"Uncle." Barak was a little surprised to see that Cao Ang only brought a few guards, but he still hurriedly saluted.
"Balak, I need your help." Cao Ang didn't want to do anything false. He hadn't noticed it before, but now Cao Ang knew very well that Balak actually didn't want to get involved in the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan. If it goes too far, Barak just wants to go back to Herat and have sex with his wife and children, but this is not possible for Cao Ang. He needs Barak's help.
"Well, uncle, you should know that if I take action, it will be very troublesome." Barak is not a fool. He was able to sit in the top position of Kushan. In addition to being able to fight, he is also not stupid.
"Just this time, it's your and my sister's explanation for pushing this matter forward, and everything you did before will be attributed to me." Cao Ang calmly stated the terms of the transaction.
This condition seems meaningless, but in fact this is what Balak needs most, and if Balak and Cao Wan captured Cao Cao before, it would be beneficial to Cao Ang, even if it would There have been some rumors and slights, but as long as Cao Ang can capture the northwest entrance to the Kabul Valley, these rumors and slights will still appear.
In this case, why don’t we gather ourselves together? It’s me, Cao Ang, who has this idea, and it’s my Cao Ang’s plan, but the matter has come to this, and I am stronger, and my father even personally gave me a crown. Do you have any ideas? ?
The benefits that a strong lord can bring are far higher than those of a lord who can unite others. What Cao Ang has shown before is that he is a lord who can unite others. He was selected just because Cao Cao went further and further on the path of not being a human being. The farther away, the other people are forced to have no choice but to push the boat along, but what Cao Ang wants to do now is to tell the truth to others, it is not you who push the boat along, it is me who follows the trend!
"It does sound very good." Barak sighed, "Brother, in what capacity did you say this to me? Are you a relative or a master?"
"They are relatives." Cao Ang said after being silent for a while. Unlike Cao Cao, he still retains a considerable amount of humanity and hopes to anchor everything with emotion.
"Then I suggest you don't." Barak sighed and said, "I am ten years older than you. As a relative, I can say some outrageous things. No matter what you do or what determination you make, you must have the ability to match. What you have to do now is not to attack or ask me for help, but to stabilize your power and then make progress. Taking risks is a strategy, not a gamble. "
Barak is a veteran, and he said this in his capacity as brother-in-law. It was a mature and prudent statement, and he did not mean to deceive Cao Ang at all.
"Barak, if you face the Holy Death Cavalry with no more than 1,500 fronts, can you defend it?" Cao Ang did not answer Barak's question, but asked another question directly.
When Barak heard this, he sighed inwardly, stopped persuading, and nodded, indicating that it was okay.
Aldashir is very strong, but Aldashir is far from capable of killing Barak. Not to mention that he is equivalent to a Cao Cao, he is at least equivalent to a Cao Cao in terms of strategy, tactics, and command, and even More than anything!
"I'm going to fight in the Kabul Valley." Cao Ang said concisely.
"Brother, you are too radical!" Cao Wan, who had been eavesdropping behind the curtain, finally couldn't help but stand up. She was willing to help Cao Ang, but that didn't mean she would follow him when Cao Ang went crazy.
"You are indeed eavesdropping." Cao Ang glanced sideways at Cao Wan, while Balak pointed to the side indifferently, motioning for Cao Wan to sit down and listen.
"With the current situation, how are you going to attack the Kabul Valley?" Cao Wan came over in a few steps, and before she could sit down on her chair, she spoke in a hurry.
"There should be no problem with the dispatch of the army tomorrow, and as long as Balak can really block the Holy Death Cavalry, I can really take a gamble." Cao Ang was not angry because of Cao Wan's rebuttal, and his expression remained calm. He spoke.
"Ardashir is not a fool. He will leave legions stationed there, and even leave the Holy Death Cavalry." Cao Wan said with great solemnity. These are not Cao Wan's speculations, but Barak Xian's boredom. When Cao Wan explained the situation, she told Cao Wan, "So from the beginning there was no possibility of seizing the northwest entrance of the Kabul Valley in one go."
"Yes." Cao Ang sighed softly, pinched his brows and looked at Cao Wan, "Mei Wan, if we talk about Ziwen, the people of Kandahar, and the choices you and your brother-in-law made, I actually knew it a long time ago, even from the time my father sent me After being imprisoned in the secret prison, I know what will happen next. "
Cao Wan was stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head. She and Cao Ang are siblings from the same mother, and they know this brother very well. He is a good person, but he is only a good person.
"You didn't take off my crown, but my father put it on me in the secret prison of Kandahar." Cao Ang sighed softly. Cao Wan couldn't help but change her color after hearing this, and looked at Balak reflexively, and Balak When Lark heard this, he couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. In this case, his perception was indeed correct, and Cao Cao was indeed awake.
"Barak, do you want to bet?" Cao Ang's magnificent spirit revealed from his eyes made both Barak and Cao Wan feel a bit of pressure when they looked directly at Cao Ang.
"Brother..." Cao Wan's expression became extremely complicated at this moment. Does it mean that I don't understand my brother at all? It turns out that everything I saw was just what my brother wanted me to see?
"If this is the case, you should have prepared everything you need to prepare." Balak looked at Cao Ang solemnly.
"What's the preparation for this terrain?" Cao Ang said with a sneer, "But before we reach the northwest entrance of Kabul, the heavy rain from Kandahar to Kabul will drop to moderate rain, and when we arrive at the northwest entrance of Kabul, the heavy rain near the Kabul Valley will rise to extremely heavy rain, or even more exaggerated."
"Using water instead of soldiers is indeed a good idea at this time, or even the best idea." Barak looked at Cao Ang with a complicated expression, "In this way, Ardashir only needs to choose disaster relief, and we will face fewer enemies. As long as we take the northwest corner of the Kabul Valley within a few days, we will completely turn the tables."
"I can stop Ardashir." Barak said slowly.
"I want to go too." Cao Wan said viciously with a look of disillusionment with her elder brother's kindness, "I must see with my own eyes whether you have lied to me."
Cao Ang was about to refuse Cao Wan when he was stopped by Barak.
"Let the lady go with you. It's only this time." Barak looked at Cao Ang very seriously and said. Cao Ang thought about it, and nodded slowly at Cao Wan who looked stubborn. Just like his sister understood him, he also understood Cao Wan. When she got angry, he couldn't persuade her.
"Okay, Barak listens to your orders." Cao Ang stood up and looked at Barak and said.
Barak stood up and left his seat after hearing this, and then knelt on one knee, "Barak accepts the order."
"Call all the centurions of the Northern Nobles to come to the government office to attend the meeting at Mao time tomorrow." Cao Ang said solemnly, and the victory or defeat will really depend on this time.
After watching Cao Ang leave, Cao Wan's expression became extremely complicated.
"Husband, can my brother do this?" Cao Wan looked at Barak and asked with great entanglement, "Although it has become different, I still hope that everything goes well for him and he doesn't follow the path of his father."
"He has almost gathered all the prerequisites for victory." Barak looked at Cao Wan and said, he was not lying, but really felt so.
Vote if you have votes. Sigh, it seems the author is really screwed.
