Unlike Cao Cao, who is unlikely to transport chariots to Kabul on a large scale, Kushan is located in Kabul and can manufacture chariots on the spot. The cattle and horses pulling the chariots are not a problem for Kushan.
,
In fact, the difficulty of Cao Cao's counterattack from Kandahar to Kabul was not much better than that of Zhuge Liang's departure from Qishan. If we want to talk about the good points, it is probably that there is a waterway from Kandahar to Kabul, and the Helmand River runs through it, so the difficulty of obtaining water is low.
As for the shortcomings, it is similar to [Zhu Bajie] Zhuge Liang's situation. The logistics pressure is too heavy. It is not that there is no food and grass, but that it is too difficult to transport food and grass because it is all in mountain valleys.
This is why Kapil and Oswin, as well as Xun Yu and Chen Gong all know that it will be difficult for them to fight here for a long time because the logistics pressure is too great.
When it comes to transporting grain, the Helmand River does have a certain carrying capacity, but heading towards Kabul actually leads to the source of the Helmand River.
The simplest description is that it is very fast to take a boat from Sichuan and Sichuan to Jingzhou, but it is very difficult to take a boat from Jingzhou to Sichuan and Sichuan. Even going one step further and transporting grain from Sichuan and Sichuan to Qinghai-Tibet is really fatal.
The same is true for transporting grain from Kandahar to Kabul. The first two-thirds of the distance from Kandahar to Kabul can still be transported by water, but the last one-third of the distance can only be transported by people. And for this one-third of the distance, the rest of the distance can be transported by water.
The logistics and transportation costs are already equivalent to Zhuge Liang leaving Qishan.
Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to bring tanks over. Cao Cao took the initiative and calculated the logistical pressure and assessed the difficulty of the battle. However, as far as the current results are concerned, Cao Cao can still withstand such logistical pressure.
If the battle line and time are extended too long, Cao Cao will not be able to withstand it. However, Xun Yu has already taken some points to build a fortress and food storage point one-third of the way upstream of the Helmand River, and then fight for a long time.
Mentally prepared for battle.
There is nothing wrong with the general direction Oswin and Kapil are considering at present, but Xun Yu's way of thinking about the problem is more capable of solving future troubles, and his focus is quite long-term, so that Oswin and others are still thinking about this.
After the first battle, Xun Yu was already prepared.
"In this case, the Han army's cavalry will be a big problem." Kapil discussed the problem seriously, "The basis of the Han army's cavalry is worthy of being copied from the Huns. It is too strong."
"At least we can kill these cavalry. No matter how strong they are, they won't hurt morale like the opponent's super shield guards." Oswin answered this question equally seriously.
On the other side, Cao Cao decisively sent troops after the discussion. Only Mao Jie, Cao Xiu and others were left in the camp to defend, while all other main forces left.
"Chen Gongtai, I think we need to talk openly and honestly." Xun Yu, who had always agreed with Chen Gong's proposal before, sent a message to Chen Gong after getting on his horse.
"It's different from before. What General Xu got gave us hope of winning, so I made a bet." Chen Gong seemed to have prepared the answer early in the morning and was waiting for Xun Yu to ask.
"Singer and Gambias are two young men." Xun Yu gave Chen Gong some help.
Chen Gong was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Xun Yu a little strangely, "The drama queen Difana is not the second-fifth boy, but Gambias, as Barak's number one subordinate, is the second-fifth boy?"
"Difana is a good actor, but those who want to act must at least know who to act to is the most valuable." Xun Yu said calmly, "So Defana is one of our own, while Singer is on the surface.
Erwuzi, Gambias is probably Zhu Helai's manpower."
"In this case, it would be interesting." Chen Gong looked at Xun Yu and asked, as if he had guessed something, "Is Zhu Helai placing people under the powerful people in the north?"
"They should have been placed under important personnel, and then they were put into our service before. Originally, they were strictly guarded, and the top brass of Guishang have our manpower. It is impossible for Guishang's intelligence personnel to enter." Xun Yu thought.
Said sadly.
"In other words, you think I'm too hasty?" Chen Gong already understood Xun Yu's plan. After all, Xun Yu and Xun You had a strategy to actively cut off and absorb Bei Gui from the beginning. However, Chen Gong knew Bei Gui because of his knowledge.
It was more profound, so he made a superior move and won the victory.
"No." Xun Yu replied calmly, "Sikong will not refuse anyway, so why is it your problem?"
Chen Gong had already reacted at this time. Why did Xun Yu, who had been staying behind to manage logistics and maintain the overall operation, come with him personally? This was to solve the problem of the second and fifth sons.
"But how did you determine that Gambias was a traitor?" Chen Gong asked with some doubts.
At this time, Chen Gong had already sorted it out with his mental talent. Knowing that Gambias was a second- and fifth-year-old boy, it was indeed very practical to make a judgment, but if he didn't know it, there would be nothing that could serve as a basis for argument.
condition.
"Barak told me when he left that Singh might have a problem, and asked me to tell Sikong not to be too friendly with Singh." Xun Yu said calmly, "I asked Barak who told him, and I thought it was Guma.
La, it turned out that Barak told me that it was Gambias who said it."
"That's it?" Chen Gong was stunned, this is wrong, there is still a link missing.
"Gambias was a military judge under Barak before." Xun Yu sighed and said. Chen Gong suddenly reacted, and then his eyes turned slightly cold.
"There is no intersection between the two sides. Such a thing was discovered by accident. With Singh's style of conduct, the first ones to discover it should be Cabbage and others. We did not deprive Gambias of the position of military judge during the restructuring. Where did he meet it?"
Where are you? How can a military judge run the army when he is hanging out with others?" Xun Yu looked at Chen Gong with some rhetorical questions.
In fact, Chen Gong had already realized at this time that any legion with guaranteed combat effectiveness would not be popular as a commander enforcing military law, but this person must exist, and this person is the guarantee of military discipline.
This person has few or no friends, but as long as they have friends they will be very important.
You can see this when you look at Man Chong. The existence of Man Chong is very unpleasant, but the existence of Man Chong is very important. From a certain perspective, it is indeed a guarantee of the law.
But when Chen Xi was listening to Man Chong talking about the fairness of the law in the Government Affairs Office, he suddenly asked Liu Ye what to do if he broke the law. Man Chong said with a stern expression, of course, let Liu Ye run away first, and we would decide how to deal with it after he ran away.
After running around for a while, the problem was solved.
Chen Xi didn't ask how the problem was solved, but Chen Xi knew in his heart that there was always a way, either by administrative order to intervene, or by Man Chong opening a back door on his own.
Gambias is also in the position of military judge, and his role is the same as that of Man Chong. Moreover, Gambias is not in charge of a legion, but a military law of more than 100,000 people. Judging from Barak's military discipline and combat effectiveness, his management is quite good.
of.
Then there is no doubt that this guy is definitely not lovable. How can such an unpleasant guy get information from other people? Basically impossible!
Unless Singer is a good friend of Gambias, because only a good friend can discover these details, there is theoretically no overlap between the two parties. But if he is a good friend, how Man Chong handles this kind of problem is almost universally applicable.
It is impossible for Gambias, a good friend, to sell Singer. He will only cover up for him. He is not a good friend. Who would cross paths with a military judge like you? Are you mentally ill? You didn't cross paths but you found Er Wu. Don't think about it.
The motive is what the devil.
"So the conclusion is that Gambias and Singh are not the same person. Although they are both young men, Gambias is obviously a professional." Chen Gong also reacted at this time, "This can also explain Zhu Helai's personal
Come here, but we can’t see the reason for what the other party wants to do.”
"That's probably it." Xun Yu had no intention of explaining.
"What about the other 25 boys? If Gambias is the 25 boys, the other party's target will undoubtedly be Kandahar, and the other 25 boys are working together in Kandahar?" Chen Gong squinted his eyes and analyzed, "It won't be a mistake.
At Lun Pass, one or two legions will be able to hold on there."
"No wonder Gongda, Zhongde and the others stayed in Kandahar, and half of the shield guards were left there." Chen Gong smacked his lips twice, Xun Yu dared to fish with only such a small amount of food.
"Does Ah Man know? Do you know that you are so wanton and reckless?" Chen Gong looked at Xun Yu and asked.
Although Chen Gong was asking, he had actually guessed the result. Xun Yu definitely told Cao Cao, but in Cao Cao's eyes, this evidence was not enough to prove it, and Cao Cao also believed that his victory could solve all loyalty problems.
Well, for the swollen Cao Cao, let's not talk about the sad issue of loyalty. It is much better to follow me than to follow Kushan's broken ship and sink. This is enough to convince him.
Therefore, as far as Cao Cao is concerned, he only needs to show unparalleled courage to win, and all disloyalty will disappear.
Chen Gong understands this mode of thinking very well. He followed Cao Cao back then because of Cao Cao's grand blueprint and unparalleled courage, even though he later gave Cao Cao a righteous stab in the back that he will never forget.
"It's really good to cooperate inside and outside. If it's not exposed, even if we can't take Kandahar and wipe out the food and grass stored in Kandahar, we who went to Kabul will still have to be defeated due to logistical problems." Chen Gong touched his chin and already understood Zhu He.
Lai's routine, "In addition, there are two young men who are leading the army, and they can't be killed directly. Tsk tsk."
Chen Gong already understood what Xun Yu was doing. He was just fishing. The way Cao Cao had taken down the Beigui Original Party before was impossible to carry out a large-scale purge. Even if the second and fifth boys were targeted, the chain of evidence was insufficient.
