But on the other hand, if Fulward had the means to quickly transmit information, then with the secret dispatch of troops in advance, it would be very possible to hunt down the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the Karakum Desert.
In this case, 40,000 Fulward elites are ambushing outside. When the time comes, they will be attacked from two or even three sides. Not to mention Wanpeng, even the Three Fools will suffer some losses in the desert terrain.
Chen Zhong has always felt that the combat effectiveness of camels riding in desert areas is not very scientific. How can there be such an operation as the Imperial Guards hunting the foreign legions? Where is the rationality?
Therefore, after Chen Zhong read the entire plan given by Fulward, he looked hesitant and said that there was nothing wrong with this plan, but it was just a bit too dangerous. Are you sure you want to do this? Of course Fulward said that it was just like this.
Done.
Chen Zhong didn't answer, and turned around and started preparing food and fodder for Fulward. Then in early February, Assam went out as a vanguard, and Fulward quickly left the mountain town of Bactria.
After Fulward ran away, Chen Zhong immediately sent a letter to Cao Cao and Wan Peng, directly giving Fulward's complete battle plan to both sides.
After sending the plan to the two families, Chen Zhong said that the plan is just such a plan. You can estimate the time exactly when it will be implemented. Our old Chen family has other things to do. There are still other things to do in Bactria Mountain City here.
It needs to be gathered together, and you can solve the battle yourself.
After receiving the news, Cao Cao and Wan Peng both said that there was no problem, and then quietly began to mobilize their own troops to prepare to lure the enemy deeper. Chen Zhong quickly began to take over Bucket after Fulward left.
Lashan City’s internal affairs.
After all, it has already been taken over once, and a lot of people have been deployed in the last process. The process of taking over this time is naturally smooth.
In addition, Fulward also felt that Chen Zhong managed it well when he left the mountain city of Bactra last time, so he also informed others when he left this time, saying that the archbishop of the Zoroastrian sect would manage it on his behalf.
Chen Zhong did not mean to shirk this, and had an attitude of doing his part. After the 40,000 main troops of Fuwode left, he began to work hard to run Bactla Mountain City, seek benefits for the people, train reserve soldiers, adjust taxes and fees, and develop the mountainous area.
Agricultural trade, etc.
In short, Chen Zhong did an excellent job, and everything was done for the benefit of Bactra Mountain City - after all, this is his family's place from now on, so of course he must start to make things normal now.
In this case, even if Masinde received the information, he felt that Archbishop Zoroastrian was a bit overstepping his authority, but he was really working hard for the mountain city of Bactra.
Combined with the relevant content verified from Fulward, Masinde's perception of Chen Zhong becomes a slightly morbid or obsessive-compulsive image. Although he is somewhat authoritative and has some political conflicts with Fulward,
Generally speaking, it is indeed public-minded.
As for directly asking about military affairs plans, after Masinde learned about Chen Zhong's performance in recent years, he could only think that the other party was caused by the failure of Fulward last time. He did not want to make any mistakes when he was not sure.
Take the initiative and hope to rely on the mountain city for defense.
There may and indeed are some ideas for the development of the sect, but this is not a problem. People cannot be completely selfless. It is normal for there to be only one saint in a million. If they were all saints, the problem would be even bigger than it is now. Therefore, this
People are trustworthy.
Chen Zhong naturally didn't know what Masinde said about him at this time. If he knew, he would probably laugh and say nothing. Isn't this the basic operation of their family?
The last big boss who viewed this kind of person in this way was called Wang Zhengjun. He lived for eighty-four years and held the throne for more than sixty years. From the queen to the queen mother, and then to the queen mother, he was promoted to the throne. What?
I have never seen such characters, and what kind of things I have never experienced!
Both Wang Mang and Wang Mang are nephews who were fostered by Wang Zhengjun. Both parties come from the same family. With decades of experience in high positions, I believe that although Wang Mang has some ideas, he also comes from a public heart...
Needless to say later, when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhengjun was very angry. I thought you were just monopolizing power, but you actually usurped the Han Dynasty for me! The old lady was so angry that she threw the jade seal. You and your ancestors are really the same.
the same!
The last big boss who thought so was called Qi Jinggong. He reigned for fifty-eight years and tried to regain hegemony.
But he is also a well-informed person. I think Chen is just like this. Although he is a little cautious, it is not a big problem...
It goes without saying that just after the death of Qi Jinggong, before his body was cold, Chen Qi made a decisive coup. From then on, the government of Qi was governed by the Tian family, and the Lu family was sacrificed. The Tian family replaced Qi. If Jinggong has a spirit in heaven, he will probably be able to do it.
fry.
Masinde Haolai can be regarded as a person, but his vision may not be much better than the two guys above. After all, these two people have spent decades paying attention to the people who dance under their noses. It can be concluded that
He came to a believable conclusion and was tricked to death in the end.
Masinde is just a glimpse at best. Even with Fulward's additional information, if you want to figure out a person like Chen Zhong in such a short period of time, you are really overthinking.
After all, after hundreds of years of verification, the Chen family's technology has also undergone many innovations. Moreover, the most important point is that whether it was the Tian family who replaced Qi or Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty, what these two bastards did in the beginning were completely different.
It is something that is really beneficial to the country.
In Chen Ji's words, it is called working hard with the attitude of pursuing a career for yourself.
Why do you want to cause destruction, why do you want to hold back? There is no need for it. As long as you are sure to make these things your own, then all the efforts you put in now are for yourself, so there is no need for any dirty tricks!
Chen Zhong also works according to this principle. Therefore, even if his behavior is out of line, as long as others are in the right mind, they will not suspect that Chen Zhong is a young man. If you compare Guishang to a factory, Chen Zhong's behavior is called *
*Factory is like home! Real ownership spirit.
As long as the factory director has a sound mind, he will definitely not think that people who love the factory as their home and work hard have any bad intentions. At most, they will think that they want to climb up. But is this a problem in the factory director's opinion? No, not at all.
question.
For a capable factory director, the more his subordinates work hard, the more he gets. Even if his words and actions are a bit outrageous, he will never think that the other party will make millions or tens of millions of profits for him every year.
What kind of malice is there?
How could Masinde suspect Chen Zhong with such little contact time?
If there is such a thing as performance evaluation these days, Masinde will definitely see that in recent years, Zoroastrian Archbishop Chen Zhong has paid more for the mountain city of Bactra than Fulard. This kind of
Could a person be a rebel? How is that possible!
Which rebel would work so hard to build a country that they want to overthrow? Is there anything wrong with their brains?
Therefore, after Masinde and Fulward left one after another, Chen Zhong continued to consolidate his position in Bactra Mountain City, preparing to seize the opportunity to send Fulward away.
More than two months passed like this. By May, Chen Zhong once again took control of all aspects of the Bactra Mountain City and began to collude with the surrounding forces. While colluding, he greeted Wan Peng and Cao Cao for preparations.
How about.
As a result, the replies from both sides were that Fulward was not found. Chen Zhong was just a little surprised at the time, so he waited for another half a month and greeted him again. As a result, this time the replies from Barak and Wanpeng came from Gumala and
The letters they replied to were all ordinary greetings, and Chen Zhong immediately understood what they meant.
On the same day, Chen Zhong found all the people in Bactra Mountain City who might have received relevant information. He made sure that they were all his people and there was no possibility of being sold. He began to think about whether something had happened at Fulward.
After all, Chen Zhong has a lot of ideas, and he doesn't believe in the power he has developed, so the problem should not be his own!
Later, I started to search for the grain and grass logistics used, and compared the grain and grass logistics expenditure according to the plan. Finally, I found that the logistics grain and grass used were 50% higher than the planned grain and grass.
Of course, the reason why it is 50% higher is not because this 50% is enough, but because it can only be 50% more. In fact, when he saw this calculated data, Chen Zhong felt something bad.
Who would normally overspend on such a large amount of grain and grass logistics? Fulward is not a bastard who sells military rations on a large scale. Occasionally, a little grain and grass is lost, which is normal. However, the scale of the grain and grass mobilized this time is already very large, and it also overspends.
50%, this is not the rhythm of executing the previous plan at all. How serious is it to do such a thing?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhong immediately felt that something was wrong. After all, the previous plan seemed to be very executable. If Chen Zhong had not obtained the original document and used other methods to find out about Fulward's plan, Wan Peng would
The Xiliang cavalry led by them will definitely be severely damaged, which will lead to turmoil in Congling and Kandahar at the same time.
Under such circumstances, such a plan with considerable execution capabilities actually uses it as a fake plan to cover up the real plan. The real plan must be at least a killer level.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhong immediately suspected that he had been exposed, but then he remembered that he was in the city now, and even if he was exposed, there was nothing that Fulward could do to him.
In the entire Baktra Mountain City, after Fulward led his troops to leave, the middle and upper levels of the local bureaucracy were all members of the Chen family, and the Zoroastrian sect at the lower levels had almost penetrated. Fulward's only advantage was the military officers.
The elite of the regiment and headquarters.
After all, Fulward left the mountain city of Bactra twice and handed over government affairs to the local Zoroastrian sect. Opportunities were given to this extent. Chen Zhongyao still couldn't grasp it. That was a big problem, right?
Everyone on the left and right is our own person, keep checking!
After recalling it again, Chen Zhong was convinced that he would never be exposed. He fell into deep thought. This was very confusing. Where did Fulward go? And with this kind of performance, it was difficult for Chen Zhong not to doubt Fulward.
Changed my mind.
Investigation, vigorous investigation, and all intelligence lines were put into operation. By June, Chen Zhong, in the process of comparing with Xun Qi's intelligence network, found Masinde, a super adviser who was said to be about to die of illness.
Although Xun Qi then found Ma Xinde in Qunv City who was recovering from illness behind closed doors, at this time Chen Zhong and Xun Qi were basically sure that they had been tricked by Ma Xinde, but it didn't matter, as long as they found the problem,
Then there is still time.
Continuing the investigation and risking exposure, Chen Zhong tried every means and sent a large number of manpower at the entrance of Congling into the Western Region to find the intelligence traces left by the middle-level officers he had placed among the elite of Fulward headquarters.
Chen Zhong was a little confused at this time, but no matter how confused he was, he still had to work.
Besides, compared to not knowing where Fulward had gone to at all, finding traces of intelligence at the intersection of Congling and the Western Region is at least not a bad option.
Even for Chen Zhong, it was far better for Fulward to enter the Western Regions than for him to have no idea about the plan below. After all, entering the Western Regions meant that Fulward had not exceeded Chen Zhong's knowledge.
At least logically speaking, it would be far better for the Han Dynasty for Fulward to enter the Western Regions than to attack Herat, and then encircle and suppress the main force of the Xiliang cavalry in the desert.
When the two sides fought in the Western Region, it was absolutely impossible for the Han Dynasty to lose. This was not something that could be reversed by any plan or tactics, but because there was a clear gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides.
On the Western Region side, the Han Dynasty has a clearer map and more combat experience. More importantly, even if the Northwest Passage is not built, Liangzhou can quickly deploy large-scale elites. After all, no matter what time it is,
, there are many Liangzhou people waiting for military merit. Instead of letting them train every day, it is better to release them to fight.
Chen Zhong didn't know what to say in a situation like this, where Fulward was brought under the eyes of Liangzhou people.
However, the problem occurred next. By the beginning of July, Chen Zhong finally contacted the middle- and lower-level officers he had placed in Fulward's headquarters. However, by this time, Fulward had already landed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
At this moment, Chen Zhong was confused. Chen Zhong, who had never experienced the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, could not understand this tactic at all. However, there is a principle in war: when you cannot understand the opponent's plan, you have already fallen into trouble.
Danger.
Chen Zhong immediately sent the complete information to Chang'an without hesitation. As for the contact with the informants on the Qinghai-Tibet side, Chen Zhong also cut off the contact first and transferred it to everyone in Chang'an for use, while he waited for the situation in Bactla Mountain City.
The change.
"That's the overall situation. The opponents are Fuwode and Masinde." Guo Jia threw aside the secret message in his hand, "Fuwode is not that difficult to deal with. It is impossible for his camel rider to board Qinghai-Tibet, and
Without camels, the combat effectiveness of his legion should not be as high as that of the Guards."
The talent of quality sharing requires a mount to share strength. However, the situation that Fulward is facing now is that the camel cannot get up at all. If you use a 1.4-meter pony as a mount, you cannot share much quality at all.
Coupled with the problems such as food for the mounts, even if Fulward boarded Qinghai-Tibet, it would be impossible to maintain the cavalry and would most likely turn back into infantry.
According to Fulward's ability, the transformation of this kind of talent, even if there is a template, the loss in the middle is enough to make Camel Rider fall back to double talent. However, this loss is inevitable for Fulward who wants to climb to Qinghai-Tibet.
of.
"As for the infantry, the shield guards should have an absolute advantage." Chen Xi felt a lot more at ease after hearing this. Is there any infantry that is more stable than the shield guards these days? Of course not. The other infantry went to Qinghai-Tibet, and just adapting to the environment was difficult.
It's enough to kill you, but shield guards don't have this problem. Their adaptive talents can allow them to completely adapt to the plateau environment in a relatively short period of time.
"Yes, so General Zang and General Sun should have started to transfer back to southern Sichuan, and then headed directly to Qinghai-Tibet from the Yanbian area." Li You nodded and looked at the vacant position aside. Jia Xu had already gone to the Ganges River.
Time is not ready to come back.
"Send an official message to the Qingqiang and Faqiang, asking them to be on alert and waiting for rescue. If the situation is not good, first protect the tribe and withdraw from the Qinghai-Tibet area, including Hanzhong and Longnan areas." Chen Xi thought for a while and asked Li
You suggested, and Li You nodded.
"Actually, I think the Qiang people should be able to stand. Your family's intelligence has proved that the total strength of Fuwode is no more than 42,000. Although the Qiang people cannot defeat Fuwode at their peak, but now Fuwode can
It may not be better than the Qiang people." Liu Ye pondered for a moment and said.
"There is a high probability that we can't beat him." Li You said, "And I'm still a little worried about whether the Qiang people will get involved. Zichuan treats the Qiang people very well. These people are relatively upright and will work after taking things. You
If you let them retreat directly, they may not retreat."
"Do they have brain problems?" Chen Xi was silent for a while and asked, "What does it mean that he treats the Qiang people well? I am just helping the poor to prevent them from dying on the plateau, okay? I also want them to help occupy the plateau. You guys
What are you thinking about?
"No, it's a matter of understanding." Li You said calmly.
"I think so too." Liu Ye said from the side, "Just like if you find a good job for the people to do nothing, as long as they have some conscience, they will feel that the money is too hot to handle, and they will put more responsibility on themselves."
"Oh." Chen Xi scratched his head and recalled it. He couldn't recall what was given to the Qiang people. Does the subsidy for buying seedlings also count?
Liu Ye and Li You's guess was correct, the Qiang people had already started fighting with Fuwode.
Although it was Fulward who made the first sneak attack on Qingqiang and Faqiang, beating the two Qiang tribes to a paralysis and robbed a lot of supplies.
But there are only 30,000 people here in Fulward. When Neighbor came back and saw the miserable condition of his family, he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. What does it mean to work hard for five or six years, and once he returns to Yuanfeng, that's it.
This was a struggle. The whole clan took the time to gather more than 40,000 people to chase after him. They had a big fight with Fuwode on the Qiangtang Plateau. With their bravery, they drove Fuwode back. The cattle and sheep
