"Ahem, cough, cough, I probably understand how to march." Cheng Yu suddenly raised his forehead and said. He found that Li You seemed to have seriously surpassed him in terms of ruthlessness and bottomless comparison.
"How do you march? How can you be so fast without building roads?" Chen Xi said excitedly. In Chen Xi's opinion, it is necessary to popularize such a high-speed marching method. If other legions can also be so fast, it will be a big deal.
Can be expected.
"Demolish the country." Xun You rolled his eyes and replied instead of Cheng Yu.
Chen Xi was stunned at first, and then after a while, he suddenly understood what it meant.
"What kind of food and grass are you bringing? Wenru probably brought seven days' rations, and then rushed here directly. This is using this Mengzhang Kingdom as a supply point." Jia Xu sighed and said, Li You's approach was terrible.
He said, "Either give me food or die." "I'm afraid the same will be true for the others behind me. Although there will be some detours in the middle, the speed is much faster than carrying food."
"..." Chen Xi raised his head, "What should those countries do?"
"Those countries?" Lu Su glanced at Chen Xi speechlessly, "Do you think those countries can still exist after the Confucian scholars have passed away? Of course, people have moved away, the land has been merged into the Han Dynasty, and the kings and ministers have become Han princes.
, or directly punished with death for being disrespectful."
"The methods are a bit dirty." Chen Xi sighed and said, feeling a little unsure whether to applaud or sigh that Li You was really overbearing.
"Even if Wen Ru doesn't do this, we will do it in the future. After all, our road will pass through that country, and it will definitely pass through those countries. At that time, it is better to talk to them, or to talk to our own people.
Okay?" Liu Ye said with a sneer, "So now they are either attached or being attached, there is no choice."
"..." Chen Xi was silent for a while after hearing this, and then nodded. This made so much sense that Chen Xi found himself speechless.
"According to Wen Ru's usual habit, he probably sent a letter to Da Honglu and asked Dahonglu to move these people to other places. After centralized education, two or three generations will become Central Plains people. If the land is used, I am afraid that some of them will need to be moved back.
People." Jia Xu thought for a moment and said.
"In this case, Wenru can only pass two or three legions at most." Chen Xi thought about the marching speed and couldn't help but frowned. This method still has no way to solve the current strength of the Han army.
Disadvantages.
"This problem can be solved later. Wenru killed more to stabilize the situation. At this time, more strength will bring more hope. All of us know that as long as we stabilize the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River, etc.
We will win as soon as the relocated people arrive, so everything Wen Ru does now is for the sake of migration." Jia Xu shook his head and said.
"Wenjia? It turns out that Wenru is worried that the Kushan navy will land from Wenjia, cut off the migration channels for the Han Dynasty people, and blockade Fengxiao and the others." Chen Xi thought for a moment and understood Li You.
idea.
"Well, although there was no such letter before, the situation was considered good, but no matter before or after, there was still the problem of the back road being cut off. Of course, the road was cut off before the people moved, so we
If we lose, it won’t matter after the people migrate." Jia Xu said, pointing to the slender passage between Indochina and the South Asian subcontinent.
After all, Li You proposed a far-sighted strategic plan as early as the first collision between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty, which was to use a surprise attack to seize half of the Ganges River or even the entire Ganges River before the Kushan Dynasty could react.
The balance between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty was broken, and the Kushan Dynasty's advantage in the navy was completely abolished, and the Han Dynasty's army's absolute advantage was used to fight against the Kushan Dynasty.
This strategy was first proposed by Li You, and was claimed to be the most radical strategy. Unfortunately, due to Kuishang's reaction, it showed amazing combat effectiveness, and even Guan Yu's headquarters was severely defeated, so that the plan was abandoned.
However, the nonsense of reality is that there is no such thing as reasonableness. Guo Jia's original test and suppression battle, because of an unexpected test, directly tore a hole in Guishang's system, and then cut off half of it.
the Ganges River Basin.
This also makes the plan that was originally impossible to implement completely feasible.
Similarly, this is also one of the important reasons why Li You went south in person, because he is the person who formulated this entire strategy, and no one knows the details better than him.
Therefore, after personally going south to mobilize the southern aristocratic families, Li You directly took the most elite headquarters, that is, Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, and the Shesheng Battalion and half of the Changshui Battalion that Huangfusong had completed preliminary training to go south in person.
People know the key points of their own strategies better than he does.
The time required for such a large-scale migration is calculated in years. Even if aristocratic families coerce local people to migrate, and a certain mortality rate is allowed, it will take a year and a half to migrate from the south to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River.
time.
The supplies needed during this period really require the support of the entire country to ensure them. This is because of a super logistics manager like Chen Xi. Otherwise, if we play like this, it will probably take several years for the Han Empire to recover.
After all, these people are civilians, not soldiers, and their migration speed is far slower than the marching speed. Therefore, there is a possibility that Kushan will be able to react to a certain extent. Coupled with the speed of shipping, the opponent is very likely to blockade them.
Live in Wenjia area.
Does the Kushan have this kind of capability? There is no doubt that judging from the size of the Kushan Qianfan navy that blocked the Strait of Malacca, as the Han Dynasty learned, it certainly does.
This kind of vision is also unquestionable from the fact that the other party can make Peshawar the capital and the only key point for the royal family to block the empire.
If you have vision and ability, then the only difference is probably execution. The level of land warfare of the Han army is definitely better than that of Kushan. Especially this time, even the serious Imperial Guards are deployed. Li You
Don't worry about frontal combat at all.
The Han army is definitely the best in land warfare on this continent. Even if it faces Rome at its peak in the future, the Han army will not be at a disadvantage. With the combat capabilities of individual soldiers and the massed army of regular soldiers, the Roman and Han armies
At the same scale, they are comparable at best.
It can be said that Guo Jia has deduced the war situation to this point. The last fatal link is the Wenjia area, which is the area of Bengal in later generations. The delta there can be entered by Kushan warships. The local terrain is the same as that of India.
fertile plains.
That place belongs to just past the Arakan Mountains. Well, it is not correct to say it is a mountain range. The highest peak is three thousand meters in the mountains, and there are eight serious mountain passes, which are the so-called passes. This mountain range belongs to whatever
The kind that both cavalry and elephant soldiers can pass through.
However, just such a mountain range has historically been the end point of the Brahmin sphere of influence. If you climb over this mountain range, you will enter India.
To put it simply, after passing this mountain range, there is an endless plain with no danger to defend. And geographically, because this is the confluence of the Ganges and several other rivers, this place forms the largest
The Delta, to put it simply, means that warships can enter it, and conversely, it means that this is the last critical point.
There is basically nothing to fear from the Han army in land combat, but this does not mean that ordinary Han people can fight against the organized Kushan soldiers.
If the people in the border counties in the north can barely resist the organized soldiers, then the people in the south basically have no such hope at all.
Even the people in the border counties in the north were beaten badly by the large and organized armies of the Hu people. You must know that the fact that one Han can serve as the five barbarians is a fact recognized by almost all the barbarians except the orthodox Huns. However,
People in border counties will still be harassed by barbarians.
The reason is that the organizational structure is more powerful than the strength of an individual. The common people in the border counties are given a gun, a knife, a bow, and a pot of arrows, and then they organize themselves to confront the barbarians. The losers are definitely the barbarians. The problem is
It was the common people who wanted to farm, but when they were beaten they were scattered individuals.
Similarly, the Kushan soldiers are weak, but if a large number of people from the Han Dynasty were migrating to Wenjia when they carried out a sneak attack, then there is no need to look at it. Even when they were migrating south, Chen Xi issued weapons to all the people, so that
All civilians have become armed civilians, but when have you ever heard of armed civilians defeating regular troops?
Therefore, Wenjia is the last critical point. The Kushan navy marches along the water veins. According to the normal calculation of covering 30 to 50 miles on both sides of the water veins, the entire Wenjia area is within the attack range. Under such circumstances
Li You had to guard against it.
What's more, the relevant information about Zhu Helai from the three families has been sent to Brahmasi. Although it has not been transferred to Chen Chi, let alone Li You, due to speed issues, the three families all know that Zhu Helai's final suggestion
Vesudeva I mobilized Mangkhambu to blockade the Bay of Bengal.
These three families also have wise men who can see through the current overall strategy of the Han Dynasty and Kushan. Although Zhu Helai only held the idea of attacking the Han army from east to west because he failed to understand the overall situation, Chen Zhong and other traitors who witnessed Guan Yu slashing Peshawar with his sword
, I already understand what Guo Jiamou is planning.
Even though the two sides did not have any strategic exchanges at all, Chen Zhong relied on the Chen family's experience in seeking the country and instantly judged that Guo Jia was acting as a bait to contain Guishan's energy to the east of Brahma Si to buy time and plot.
To the west of Brahasi, the foundation for the Han Dynasty to embezzle Kushan was laid.
In fact, there is still a considerable gap between Chen Zhong's wisdom and Zhu Helai's, but the experience of both sides, as well as the general intelligence framework of both sides, are so far apart that Zhu Helai is obviously wise and clever, but on the contrary
He was manipulated by Chen Zhong, Xun Qi and Sima Zhang.
