Chapter 1,731 The subcontinental battlefield begins
"I just researched it some time ago." Gan Ning acted like a majestic and upright eminent monk, but he still felt a little like a monkey.
"I wonder what the significance of this kind of cultivation method is?" Meng Combo asked.
Gan Ning's face was expressionless. Could he say that he didn't speak just because he couldn't speak Kushan dialect?
However, Gan Ning was a man of quick wits after all. He put on a sad look on his face and said, "Humanity is that disaster comes from the mouth, and if I keep my mouth shut, I can avoid disaster. By keeping my mouth shut, I can think more and avoid opening my mouth out of anger.
Out of anger."
Gan Ning's words made Meng Kangbu stunned for a moment, but when he thought about his own experience, he was a young and promising man with extraordinary abilities, and he was at odds with the Sisi family.
Did you make a mockery?
"What the master said makes sense." Meng Kangbu saluted Gan Ning with concern.
Gan Ning hesitated. He was just talking nonsense, but someone actually thought it made sense. How on earth was this communication possible?
"May I ask, Master, if you would allow me to learn this method?" Meng Kangbu saluted Gan Ning again.
"What's wrong with this?" Gan Ning said with a somewhat confused tone.
[Whatever, if I can fool one person after another, it will be fine if I can survive here.] Gan Ning thought silently.
"This method is just to keep your mouth shut at the beginning, and then you have to be more at ease. You have to maintain a state of neither panic nor anger at all times. Only in this way can you avoid disasters." Gan Ning continued to advocate, but he had already started to preach, so he just followed his previous instructions.
Reading books blows.
"Thank you, Master." Meng Kangbu saluted Gan Ning again, then followed Gan Ning's example and shut up, but in the next moment he almost spoke.
"May I ask where the master comes from and where he is going? And why he has to pass through this small water village of mine." After Meng Kang gave the gift, he began to imitate Gan Ning's method of telepathic communication and preach to Gan Ning.
Sound path.
"Coming from the north to the south, I passed by here. I felt that there was something I could learn from, so I came to join the army." Gan Ning did not avoid his goal. He found that he had unintentionally gained the other party's trust. Since he went straight to the topic
That's the best choice.
"Hahaha, the master has good eyesight, uh..." Mengkangbu, who was reprimanded by the Sisi family, immediately laughed and said, and then found himself speaking. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Only then did he realize that the master in front of him
The "shut-up method" is not so easy to practice.
Mengcomb always believed that he was unlucky. Although his abilities were not inferior to others, he could not show them due to the suppression of the Sisi family, and thus could not be known to others. Unexpectedly, a close friend came from heaven, and a master recognized him.
[This master seems to not understand the navy, but there is nothing I can teach him. It is rare to find a confidant in life.] Meng Kangbu has always been depressed, and no one who is equal to him has recognized him, and now Gan Ning's words
It's like a shot in the arm.
"Master, if you are interested in the navy, then please stay. Although I, Mengkangbu, are suppressed by the Sisi family, I can still make the decision here in Minnagala." Mengkangbu sent a very solemn message to
Gan Ning.
"Thank you. By the way, my name is Gan Xingba." Gan Ning told Meng Kangbu his name through a telepathic call.
"Gan, it's a rare surname. I can only tell you my name. My name is Mengkangbu." Mengkangbu also told Gan Ning through telepathy.
In the following year, Gan Ning took Meng Kambu to practice silent meditation. Meng Kambu relied on this method of not speaking to gradually calm himself down, gradually got into the habit of thinking before speaking, and his whole person also became
Much calmer.
In the same period of more than a year, Meng Combo also taught Gan Ning step by step how to fight at sea, how to choose the most suitable tactics, how to maximize the effect of every point of the warship, and how to make the entire warship explode in a short period of time.
Exhibiting combat power beyond the limits.
This year Mengkangbu taught almost all the basic items of Kushan naval training to Gan Ning. As for further skills, Mengkangbu had no intention of hiding it. He taught him whatever he knew, and taught Gan Ning what he didn't know.
Gan Ning explained that Meng Kangbu didn't care whether he learned or not, he would teach Gan Ning as long as he wanted to learn.
Needless to say, the result was that in one year, Gan Ning learned a lot about the basics, learned all the tactical skills he could learn, memorized the ones he couldn't learn by rote, and memorized everything without saying a word.
Prepare to go back and study again.
During this whole year, Gan Ning's performance was not very high, and he was not able to practice many times in person. However, Gan Ning could guarantee that he would be able to use everything he learned when he came to the Han Dynasty.
Even those who didn't learn it were memorized.
After Gan Ning was sure that he could not learn anything new from Meng Kangbu, Gan Ning left silently without leaving any letters. The next time he met, he would definitely be an enemy, so it would be better not to see each other.
.
Time went back slightly. Just when Gan Ning had just begun to march towards Guishang from the Indochina Peninsula, Zhang Su and others in Yizhou finally established the vassal relationship between the major tribes, kingdoms and the Han Dynasty in the south of Yizhou.
Sorted out.
"Zi Chi, how about it?" Zhang Su and Zhang Song checked the map and distinguished the native forces in various places. While distinguishing, they asked Qin Mi.
"No, I can only count some of them so far. Some of the vassal states and tribes that surrendered to us have been annexed." Qin Mi shook his head and said helplessly. What he did recently was to seize the Indochina Peninsula.
Classics from major nearby vassal states.
Qin Mi's intelligence and strategy are average, but he has a strong memory and is proficient in hundreds of schools of thought. Although he is a bit pedantic, the classics stored in his brain are still very reliable.
"That's it, Zi Qiao, what do you think?" Zhang Su directly threw the blame to Zhang Song.
"Inform General Zhang to go from place to place. Although Kushan has not yet sent the letter of challenge, we still have to make preparations in advance." Zhang Song raised his head, "Anyway, my spiritual talent tells me that this group of people have no
One is a good teammate, but Kushan is a good teammate."
"Then I will inform General Zhang, and I will go with General Zhang." Li Hui thought for a moment and said.
"De'ang, be careful. The barbarians here may not remember the majesty of the Han Empire. If there is anything wrong, don't hesitate to get rid of it." Huang Quan patted Li Hui on the shoulder when he passed by and warned him.
One sentence.
Li Hui nodded, "I value my life very much. What's more, in a place like this, I won't be merciful as a woman if I don't kill anyone wrongly."
After Li Hui left, Lingbao and Deng Xian came to inform Zhang Song and others about the recent combat effectiveness problems of the soldiers. In addition to training the army in the past few days, Yan Yan also led the army to conduct intensive training in the Indochina Peninsula, for fear that it would not happen again.
Discomfort occurs.
Although compared to the quality of a single unit, the quality of the barbarians led by Wu Tu Gu is far better than that of the Nanman soldiers of Meng Huo and King Mulu, and the individual quality of the Nanman soldiers of these two men exceeds that of the Han army, but really speaking
In terms of combat effectiveness, not counting the equipment advantage of the rattan armor soldiers, the Han army was overall stronger than the barbarian army. This is the importance of organization and formation.
But what's worse about the current situation is that not long ago, some of the Han troops under Yan Yan's command were acclimatized. Fortunately, both Meng Huo and King Mulu have herbs to control this disease.
.
In particular, Meng Huo's eldest brother Meng Jie was an expert in this area. Various native medicines and folk remedies were able to curb the spread of diseases among the Han army, but Yan Yan was still uneasy about this, fearing that it would affect the Han army.
combat effectiveness, so training has been continuously strengthened recently.
Of course, there are also reasons for letting the soldiers adapt to their own legion talents. After all, the core factor of Yan Yan's legion talents is to ensure that the legion will not collapse.
Precisely because Yan Yan could not fall and the army could not collapse, Zhang Su and others would have absolute confidence and the Kushans would hunt in the South Asian subcontinent. After all, there is not a big gap in strength between the two sides, and why not fight a war where one side will not lose unless he seeks death?
, Nothing can stabilize the morale of the military and the people more than victory.
With the wisdom of Zhang Song, Zhang Su and others, they naturally understand the meaning of the army not collapsing. Nothing can guarantee victory more than this. An army that never collapses means that it will always have the ability to make a comeback.
This kind of comeback ability, under the control of these wise people, can be turned into an opportunity for victory at any time.
It can be said that if you want to deal with the army led by Yan Yan, as long as Yan Yan is not defeated, then even if the army is extremely tired, the victory or defeat will be difficult to say. After all, as long as the army does not collapse, it can maintain its most basic combat effectiveness.
And any army that can withstand 50% casualties and still not collapse is qualified to compete with the top elites in this era. Although it will lose, even if it loses, it will be very painful for the opponent to win.
"General Yan, are you going out now?" E Huan was patrolling the camp carrying a big halberd. When he saw Yan Yan leading his troops to go out, he asked.
"Recently, the soldiers have become less acclimatized. I plan to take a group of troops out to fight one or two to determine the current situation of the soldiers." Yan Yan said without hesitation.
"Previously, General Liu's scouts discovered a tribe about forty miles south, and this tribe captured three of our scouts." E Huan thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, let's use him to practice." Yan Yan knew what E Huan meant after hearing this, "Approximately how many people are there in this tribe?"
"The two scouts who ran back roughly estimated the number of tribesmen. They should be more than four thousand, but there is more than one tribe there." E Huan waved and two soldiers quickly ran over. One of them looked pale.
It was obvious that he had lost too much blood.
"I'm going to pacify that tribe. If there's any obstruction, I'll kill them all." Yan Yan nodded and said, then pointed at the soldier who was in good condition and said, "Follow me to that tribe."
Then Yan Yan led 3,000 soldiers and horses to practice, and quickly defeated more than a dozen tribes. It was determined that the combat effectiveness of the Han army had been restored, and the acclimatization that had been spreading some time ago had been successfully contained.
Already.
"General Zhang, what's the situation over there?" A few days later, Huang Quan and others had copied the topographic map of the entire Indochina Peninsula based on the maps from various places, and had a thorough grasp of the terrain.
"Four small Mon kingdoms and several tribes have been pacified. Now the major vassal states and affiliated states plan to raise 50,000 troops to help, and have presented a large number of treasures to the Han Dynasty to show mercy." Qin Mi mainly dealt with the various states.
Diplomacy and collecting classics have been very busy recently.
"We defeated the four Mon federations and tribes. It's not too fast or too slow, but my main opponents are not these rubbish. Let's take a look at the map." Zhang Su raised his hand to summon all the civil servants to come together.
look at the map.
"What, is there something wrong with the map?" Wang Lei, Cheng Ji and others walked over slowly.
Zhang Su didn't pay too much attention and just turned the map to face the civil servants.
Wang Lei and Cheng Ji looked down at the map, which was so detailed that it had clear rivers and mountains, and even the possible locations of the Kushan army were marked on it.
"Eh..." After all, Meng Da was a man of both civil and military skills. He knew both strategy and the art of war, so he immediately saw some problems on the map. He then raised his head and looked at Zhang Su, "Brother Jun Jiao, is there such a place?"
There are maps of these places.”
Zhang Su understood, took out a more accurate small-scale map that had been prepared nearby, and handed it to Meng Da.
"Brother Junjiao also thinks that the other party will choose these places?" Meng Da asked as he took the map.
"The advantage of going first is greater in these places. After all, it is a declaration of war. When we talk about it, the other side will definitely use some tricks. War is not a child's play." A smile appeared on Zhang Song's ugly face.
"That's it. Although we leave the time and place to the other party to choose, and the other party feels humiliated, as long as this place is normal, they will definitely accept it and choose the battlefield that suits them best." Zhang Su pointed at his head and said.
"The shame of language and the shame of defeat, they will definitely make the most correct choice." Huang Quan nodded and said.
"In that case, there is a high possibility that they would choose this place." Cheng Ji pointed at the extreme location of the southwestern radiation of the Han Empire, where the southwestern Mon state was close to Wenjia.
Zhang Su's expression changed, then he realized what he was doing, nodded and said, "Indeed, this location is not too bad for us geographically, but it takes too much time for us to rush there."
"Brother Junjiao, you are wrong. The time it takes for the envoy to go back and forth has not yet been calculated. If the other party agrees with us to fight here in a month, we may have to force it three times to arrive on time." Cheng Ji said with a sneer.
"What's more, this place has certain advantages for the first mover. In this way, our army has the right time, location and people. I'm afraid the opponent may win in one go." Cheng Ji said coldly.
"It's really possible." Zhang Song also said with a solemn expression, "And if we can't arrive, we, as the ones who issued the challenge in advance, will probably lose face." (.)
