After Baruch's suggestion was recognized by everyone, the infantry of various units soon separated from Baruch and Nah and turned to enter the mountain from the north. Baruch and Nah began to accelerate their retreat with their cavalry.
Then he soon met Sima Yi who was coming over the mountains and ridges.x.
"Zhongda, why do I feel that you have been acting a little strange since you left the mountainous area?" Wei Yan saw that after finally crossing the mountains and reaching the Kabul Valley, not only did he not show a happy expression, but Sima Yi, who had a doubtful expression on his face, did not remember to ask.
road.
When Sima Yi heard this, he turned his head expressionlessly, and then, as if he thought of something, he silently turned his body together to show that his head was actually in tune with his body.
In the past, Sima Yi was very proud of the fact that his head turned but his body did not turn. After all, this was the very famous wolf-guying look, which was only worthy of a hero in a troubled world. However, he was suddenly hacked into it by some bastard.
, a melancholic little prince whose brain and body are not in tune.
Sima Yi said, I believed you Zhuge Liang, you can get away as far as you want. However, unfortunately, Zhuge Liang is more powerful than Sima Yi, and Zhuge Liang has many friends. In the end, everyone thought that Sima Yi was actually a brain and a man.
The body is out of tune.
Can you imagine how distressed Sima Yi was when Sima Yi, his grandfather, looked at him with such a strange expression?
And Chen Xi, don’t pretend you don’t know what this look is like, and you Fan family, you Liu family fortune tellers are talking about whether it’s okay to talk, I’m a wolf and a hawk, not your bullshit melancholy young man, can we still communicate?
Already.
In fact, there is really no way to communicate. Now everyone in the Han Dynasty who is familiar with Sima Yi thinks that Sima Yi is just because his head and body are not in sync with each other, causing him to look melancholy...
"Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to turn your body deliberately. When someone turns his head, his head has already turned away, but his body hasn't turned yet, as if he's slow." Wei Yan didn't know how to read the atmosphere at all, so he stabbed him casually.
Hit Sima Yi's little heart.
"..." Sima Yi touched his left chest, feeling a little uncomfortable. After trying to get rid of the emotion, he looked at Wei Yan and tried to change the topic, "After leaving the mountainous area, I suddenly felt a little strange.
Do you think Kong Ming will be stupid?"
"No!" Before Wei Yan could speak, Gao Lan spoke on Wei Yan's behalf, "According to our judgment, the next era will be the era of Zhuge Kongming. Whether it is his wisdom, diligence, or talent, he is far beyond
Peer." Gao Lan said solemnly.
Sima Yi felt a little uncomfortable, but he also agreed with Gao Lan's judgment. Zhuge Liang's talent indeed surpassed that of all his peers. What's even more frightening is that Zhuge Liang received the most complete education.
Nature cannot compare, nor can education. More importantly, Zhuge Liang's hard work far exceeds those of so-called hard-working geniuses.
A person who is smarter than you, has a deeper background than you, and has a very solid backing, but also works harder than you. Even Sima Yi is inexplicably discouraged. This kind of opponent is more disappointing than Chen Xi.
At any rate, Chen Xi still seems to have some possibility of being caught up, because everyone knows that Chen Xi does not work too hard, and Zhuge Liang is not only terrible in talent, but also in education and hard work. This kind of opponent is probably
I can't catch up.
"Although I don't really like the evaluation you gave me, this is generally true." Sima Yi was silent for a while and said, "Based on this evaluation, have you found any problems with our expedition this time?"
Wei Yan and Gao Lan both frowned when they heard this, and then looked at Sima Yi. They did not find any problems. Zhuge Liang's strategy was indeed correct. They tried to go to the northern mountainous area with elites to see if they could find a way out of it.
of.
Although the plan failed, there was no problem with the strategy. As for the fact that it did not achieve the success it deserved, Zhuge Liang also made it very clear at the beginning that this path may not be correct. He just wanted to verify whether it could be done from the northern mountainous area.
If it passes, then as an alternative, you can try to have a divine weapon descend from the sky in the future.
At present, it seems that this plan is not realistic, it takes too much time, and it is basically impossible to forcefully come to the Khyber Pass. As far as the food carried by the soldiers is concerned, if they go to the Khyber Pass through the mountainous area, the logistics will be very difficult.
It will be a very huge problem.
"I don't think there is any problem. Although the plan failed, we at least verified our previous speculation. If we want to capture Beigui, we may have to leave the Burr Pass." After thinking about it, Wei Yan didn't find anything.
question.
"I think so too. I'm afraid Beigui can only grind it out slowly. He must send someone who can calm down the situation, form a team, and push forward bit by bit here." Gao Lan thought about Wei Yan's words and then thought about it.
After thinking about the climb over the mountains and ridges before, I couldn't help but twitch my face twice.
Sima Yi nodded. He also agreed with this. If he wanted to attack Beigui, it would be completely meaningless to go to the mountainous area in the north. And the north had to be attacked. If Guishang was allowed to free up a hand, the Han Dynasty would inevitably be passive.
Already.
This is also the reason why the Han Dynasty continued to open battlefields in Guishang. Although it is true that the Han Dynasty troops were allocated, the Kushan Dynasty was also in a lot of embarrassment because of this.
For a unified empire, only one side is attacked, and the pressure is completely different from fighting everywhere. Even if the number of troops invested is almost the same, the energy consumed is very different.
"I'm afraid that ten of the people who will come by then will be Cao Sikong." Sima Yi touched his chin and said, "At that time, Xun and others will probably recruit Beigui, form an auxiliary army, clear wasteland and build cities on the spot, and then fight at the same time.
, while building, push forward forcefully."
"Form up auxiliary troops?" Before Wei Yan understood what he was talking about, Gao Lan was already laughing, because Sizhao City was doing the same thing.
The Yuan family formed a number of Slavic legions, Samoyedic legions, and Ugric legions. Each legion had 5,000 men. The Yuan family formed fourteen of them, all of which were formed from recruited barbarians. These legions have never been on the battlefield.
, of course, the most important thing is that they are not trained well. They can fight well but cannot fight with legions. It is precisely because of the existence of these legions that the Yuan family's rule can become stable.
"Just like when we were in northern Xinjiang, the Colonel Huwuwan used the Wuwan people to form a legion, and when the Xianbei rebelled, he used these legions to suppress the Xianbei people. The Colonel Huxianbei used the Xianbei people to form a legion, and when Wuwan
During the rebellion, these legions were used to suppress the Wuwan people." Sima Yi explained briefly.
Although this explanation is not entirely correct, some people who joined the Guard Corps are very comfortable suppressing their own people.
"You all know the situation of the Han Dynasty. The normal number of regular soldiers is about one million, which is the limit, but this scale is obviously not enough in an empire war, especially when another empire needs to be quickly crushed." Sima Yi sighed.
He said in a tone, "In fact, both the Han-Hungarian war and the Roman-Parthian war were long-lasting, measured in hundreds of years."
"So if you want to win quickly, large-scale troops are the foundation." Sima Yi said with a melancholy look, "From a practical point of view, if we continue to recruit soldiers from the country, it will cause a lot of problems for the country, and then there will be
Another way is to recruit local people."
"Anyway, they are not our people. After recruiting them, they will not be able to operate naturally, so it would be better." Gao Lan took over the conversation and said on behalf of Sima Yi, "That's why there are some foreign legions, and the more famous one is
Qiang cavalry, Hu cavalry, and people."
"Yes, the next step should be the Western Region, but this will also take time. After someone takes over the Western Region, these things will naturally be formed. I estimate that most of the people who will take over the Western Region will be my eldest brother." Sima Yi thought for a moment and said.
, "As for Beigui, it may not be possible in the short term. We don't have enough foundation."
"Then why has it never been established before?" Wei Yan asked puzzledly.
"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has its own auxiliary troops, and the Qiang King's Guards are their auxiliary troops. Even though the auxiliary troops under their leadership have combat effectiveness that is almost at the top dual-talented level, it's crazy." Sima Yi complained helplessly, "And
With the Xiliang Iron Cavalry here, especially the very capable Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Qiang people will not hug other people, even if they are formed, they will run away on their own."
"Why do I feel like I've heard of this joke?" He looked up at the sky and didn't think of it.
"Meng Qi's entire double-talented army ran away with the cavalry." Sima Yi said with a sigh, "So no one will use the Qiang people to form auxiliary troops. At present, the only people who can be considered suitable are the people from the Western Regions, but their quality is so poor
Far, it will take a few years to form auxiliary troops, but the soldiers from Beigui, in my opinion, if they can come over, it will be no problem to accept them directly."
"However, we have no foundation." Gao Lan understood this very well. After all, his super-heavy infantry also had three auxiliary legions. Gao Lan knew very well how to do it and how to lead it.
"Yes. So when Cao Sikong comes over, I'm afraid he will have to take it step by step." Sima Yi nodded and said, "I really want millions of high-quality soldiers to train and train. We can't do it in such a large-scale war."
You won’t suffer any loss.”
Wei Yan nodded silently, indicating that he understood this, but in fact he was still confused. In his opinion, the so-called auxiliary troops were formed to capture people on the spot, and then he just drove these people to fight. Anyway, he was not the one who died.
People, don’t feel bad.
Sima Yi glanced at Wei Yan but did not explain. At this time, the scout urgently reported that enemy cavalry appeared in front. Sima Yi nodded silently and handed over the affairs to Gao Lan, while he began to think about the problem again.
