Chapter 5326: Endurance and waiting to be defeated in one blow
Kumarajiva sighed: "I see. I understand that the barbarians can only survive by robbing their homes because of their poverty. If they are just scattered small tribes, there is nothing to fear. With the power of our country in the Central Plains, we can
They may have been driven away or eliminated, but now there is the big devil Helian Bobo, who has unified all the barbarians in the Hetao Grassland and is a tiger and wolf army."
"They are aggressive and always able to win. The population, food, grass, and ordnance obtained by plundering have strengthened their strength. However, most of these benefits are divided up between Helianbobo's headquarters or close tribes. Most of the servants
The small tribe has not received much benefit. Although life is a little better than before, at least they have food, but it is still not enough to have enough food and clothing. If they want to survive, they have to continue fighting with Helianbobo."
"It's just that the fortress cities in Lingbiao are now out of profit. If you attack them by force, the gains outweigh the losses. So if you can lead Hu Xia to attack Liangzhou as you want, once you defeat a few cities, you will gain the wealth accumulated by the Silk Road over the years."
With the customs money, these servant tribes will suddenly become prosperous. Once people have money and have enough food and clothing, they don't want to work hard anymore. In this way, Helianbobo wants to drive the tribes of Hetao again, tens of thousands at a time
It will not be so easy for the cavalry to attack."
Doupeng laughed: "Yes, great monk, you finally figured it out. A half-full and half-hungry tiger is the most terrifying. It has enough power to hunt and a strong desire to fill its belly. Hu Xia is
For such tigers, the Hetao grassland is not that big. Compared with the conditions in Monan, the conditions are much worse. Most of them were defeated in Monan and tribes that could not gain a foothold were rushed here. When they were divided in the past, it was difficult to attack Monan or
It went south to attack the Lingbiao area and reaped the benefits of plundering. Instead, it kept going north to clear grass and valleys for the Monan tribes and the Guanzhong regime. For a long time, it was a desolate place that others looked down upon."
"The advantage of Helianbobo is to unify the various tribes in Hetao, and he wisely chose to avoid the powerful Monan forces of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and carried out repeated attacks towards the mountains and plains of the Later Qin Dynasty. When the Later Qin army counterattacked,
The army of the Later Qin was introduced into the grassland, exhausted, and then destroyed. In this way, the army of the Later Qin could be captured through victory to make up for the lack of its own armaments, so that the previously poorly equipped rangers could be transformed into armored warriors who could fight in front and storm the front.
Armored cavalry, this is Helianbobo's specialty. But military capture alone is not enough. Without a large amount of population, grain, grass, money and silk, it will not be able to improve the people's livelihood on the grassland."
"So Helian Bobo is now faced with a dilemma. Going east to join forces with the powerful Northern Wei Dynasty is a suicidal move. It might directly provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty to send an army to Hetao to destroy him, and all efforts will be ruined in one day.
Because the Later Qin could not fight a cavalry battle with the Hu Xia, the Northern Wei had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, which was enough to deal with it. However, the internal rebellions in the Northern Wei continued to need to be rectified, and Rouran in Mobei and Beiyan in Liaodong were also strong enemies. This
This is also the reason why they want to ease the relationship with Hou Qin and marry each other. They will not take the initiative to attack Hu Xia, but if Hu Xia comes to provoke them, they will never turn a blind eye."
Kumarajiva nodded: "Yes, Hu Xia's real blood feud is with the Northern Wei Dynasty. More than 5,000 members of the Helian Bobo family died at the hands of Tuoba Si. He was the only one who survived, but he still did not dare to ask for help.
The Northern Wei Dynasty fired an arrow to retaliate. This man's calmness and reason defeated his ferocious nature. He was indeed a formidable enemy. In this way, Da Qin could no longer take the initiative to send troops deep into the grasslands to fight against Hu Xia. According to you, this
Just give people heads and equipment, pretend to be too much, so that Hu Xia's strength will skyrocket, but it will make them attack Guanzhong directly."
Doupeng smiled and said: "That's right. There are still more than 100,000 Qin troops in the Guanzhong area. If they are recruited in times of crisis, they can be expanded to more than 200,000. The ordnance and armor in the treasury are also enough to arm them.
The army of 200,000 and the number of horses exceeded 60,000. This was the powerful military strength that Helianbo was afraid of. This was also the reason why even though he defeated the Qin army several times and wiped out more than 100,000 Qin troops, he still did not dare to go deep into Guanzhong. Once his
If the cavalry enters Guanzhong, it means that there is no room for maneuver on the grassland, and they will have to fight the Qin army directly in Guanzhong. I don't think Helianbobo would dare to do this until he has more than three times the advantage in military strength."
Kumarajiva nodded: "So, we only need 10,000 to 20,000 troops to defend the Lingbiao fortress and consume Hu Xia's military strength. Once they have laid siege to the city for a long time, they will suddenly dispatch the Guanzhong army and defeat the Hu Xia army in the field.
.Is this the best way?”
Doupeng waved his hand: "Helian Bobo is not that stupid. He will not attack the Lingbiao fortress like this, so he will most likely choose to go west and capture Liangzhou. You, Da Qin, can actually help him with this, for example, by lowering his momentum.
The tax revenue from Guanzhong will attract the caravans on the Silk Road to speed up, or in other words, give more rewards to the envoys from the Western Region countries who come to pay tribute to you. Some specialties from the Central Plains such as silk, lacquerware, etc. will make the caravans traveling on the Silk Road more active. This will definitely stimulate
Helian Bobo and Hu Xia's ferocious spirit made them willing to raise large numbers of troops to attack Liangzhou and plunder the Silk Road."
"The military force of the Liangzhou countries is not weak. Each Liang has tens of thousands of cavalry who can fight. Even if they don't fight in the field, they can still defend their cities. These Liangzhou cities have experienced wars for hundreds of years, and their city defenses are no less solid.
For the fortified city in Guanzhong, Hu Xia's army came all the way, so it shouldn't be a big problem to win in a field battle, but if they want to attack the big city by force, even if they capture it, they will lose troops and generals. Although there will be war and destruction for a while, in the long run, the gain will not be worth the loss."
"What's more, the Liangzhou countries also have cavalry that can travel long distances. Even if Hu Xia leaves with the spoils, these countries will pursue Hu Xia's servant tribes. Once the war starts, it will be continuous. If the military power of the Liang countries is used,
, to consume the main force of Hu Xia. If the Hetao Grassland is forced or semi-passive to expedition to Liangzhou every year, then the opportunity for Great Qin will come. As long as you can take the opportunity to form a strong cavalry unit and abandon infantry and chariots as much as possible.
, then you will have the opportunity to face off against Helian Bobo on the grassland. Once the caravan enters the Hetao Grassland, the location of the Hu Xia tribes and the grassland will have information, and you will no longer be unable to find your opponent.
"
Speaking of this, Doupeng's eyes flashed coldly: "Only by luring him with benefits can we crack Hu Xia's best maneuvers and make him greedy for small profits and make big enemies. At this time, the Later Qin Dynasty can contact the Northern Wei Dynasty
Together with Zhu Liang and even Rou Ran, they defeated Hu Xia in one fell swoop!" (End of this chapter)
