If the Helmand River water conservancy project near Kandahar is completely completed and Cao Cao builds a self-sufficient circle of influence based on Kandahar, then no matter how Ardashir attacks Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be able to sit back and watch.
After all, the terrain in Beigui has always been a world-class problem. The Imperial Cemetery is not something to be boasted about. In addition, we are currently in the era of cold weapons. There are no problems with food and grass logistics. Cao Cao does not take the initiative to attack and squats in Kandahar to avoid civil strife.
It's basically impossible to defeat it.
"Zixu, do you have more accurate information within your family?" Cao Cao turned to Wei Zi and asked. After all, after the internal relationship between the two Wei families was exposed, it was impossible for everyone to treat them as before, so Cao Cao asked Wei Zi directly.
Hereby.
After all, the power of the Hedong Wei clan was quite large in the Caucasus. Cao Cao simply did not believe that there was no power to restrain or even punish Ardashir.
"Yes, Kushan has invited Ardashir for the third time. Ardashir refused the first time. I think you all know what happened the second time." Wei Zi narrowed his eyes and said, he also admitted.
Wei Jian and others are indeed superior to me in terms of ability, but my vision is reliable!
"That is to say, you also think that Ardashir may have agreed to the employment of Vesutiva I?" Cao Cao had a murderous intent in his eyes. He said it to this extent. We are not fools, how can we not understand what this is?
mean?
"If I don't agree to this kind of opportunity, I'm afraid Ardashir won't be willing to accept it." Mao Jie sighed and said, "It's human nature and it's not an accident."
Kushan invited Ardashir twice before. In fact, the Central Asian family and Cao Cao knew it well. The first time Ardashir directly refused, the second time he actually acquiesced. This is also what the Central Asian thieves can do.
The reason for the successful connection with Kushan is also the core reason why the bandits in Central Asia have not been able to be eradicated.
These people themselves have this qualification, and with this opportunity, Guishan has accurately put in food and grass, allowing these Central Asian bandits to successfully grow. This is actually the result of Aldashir's second acquiescence, but this is the same
It was also the result of the tacit approval of the Han Dynasty.
Progressing smoothly and without any troubles, the family they raised is just useless. If they really want to grow up, they still need some tempering, so the Han Dynasty also turned a blind eye to Aldashir's behavior.
One eye was also the reason why Wei still dared to promise to prepare a ship for Ardashir and send it to Africa.
Because Wei Jian knew very well that what happened in Central Asia was the result of the tacit consent of a group of people. Aldashir nodded, but after the Han Dynasty, Yuan family, Cao family, Congling and other forces collectively nodded, Aldashir was used as a pawn.
The result of movement.
Therefore, Wei Xiang's promise was without exception. Although Aldashir did not know which Han family was under the Sullun family's leather cover, he also understood his own position from this attitude. This was also the case with Aldashir before.
The important reason why Dashil is hiding in the Caucasus is because Ardashir has experienced so much and has a very clear mind.
It is precisely because of this kind of operation of seeing through without telling the truth, and the two sides did not tear each other's skin, that both Aldashir and the Han Dynasty knew each other's bottom line. Of course, Aldashir was more aggrieved. He knew that he had actually been completely reduced to
Every move of the chess pieces is actually manipulated.
However, Ardashir could not resist this kind of operation. As long as he wanted to remain useful as a subordinate and find a way out for Persia, he had to accept the vague manipulations behind him. This is why Ardashir
The reason why Hill never accepted the kindness of Vesudev I no matter how high the price offered by Kushan was.
Because Ardashir knew very well that unless he could lead his own men to find an independent path for Persia, intervention in the war of the empire would only lead to ruin.
But this was just before, at the moment when the sky changed, Benjim's Glory of the World directly observed another trajectory, and Aldashir also relied on the miracle of the Holy Death Rider to survive the sky change.
Then Bankim and Ardashir had a frank talk.
Compared with the way of life to Africa that Wei gave to Aldashir, Aldashir still hopes to open up a way of life by himself. After all, things obtained by others are unstable after all, and Bankim gave him
Although the plan he came up with requires considerable effort, it is even more tempting to people like Ardashir.
"The impact of the change in the sky is worldwide. The strength of the general's men has not been significantly weakened, but this is the time when other forces are at their weakest." Bankim used his brilliance to observe another possibility.
, giving the most fatal temptation of Aldashir, "Compared to relying on others, it would be more sincere to rely on yourself to seize your own territory."
Ardashir didn't say anything, but he also knew that if this kind of change was world-wide, then now would definitely be the best time.
Even Ardashir himself knew where to capture—Herat.
This is one of the entrances and exits to Begui. If Ardashir captures it, or even further captures Kandahar, the entire Sistan Basin will be in Ardashir's hands.
What's more important is that the Sistan Basin and the Lezistan Desert are surrounded by the Ghan Mountains and the Sahad Plateau to the west, the Balochistan Plateau to the south, and the Hindu Kush Mountains to the north. Not to mention the east, they are all mountains.
The only correct entrance and exit is the city of Herat.
It can be said that if the city of Herat and Kandahar are captured and these key points are defended, Ardashir will at least be qualified to break the earth and become king.
"General, if you capture the city of Herat, Kushan is willing to walk through the Polun Pass to provide you with food and fodder for the attack on Kandahar. We in Kushan may be short of other supplies, but the food and fodder supplies are still sufficient," Bankim said calmly.
The support that Ardashir needs most is out.
I won’t talk about the location of the Bolun Pass. Cao Cao’s forces have known about that place for a long time, but they didn’t dare to gamble. The reason has been mentioned before, which is the simplest drinking water problem. The wave between the Kiltar Mountains and the Suleiman Mountains.
The Lun Pass is a mountain range with its back to the Indian Ocean.
To put it simply, there was no water resources during the journey from the north. In addition, it had to pass through the Lezestan Desert first and then climb over the stone mountains. So Cao Cao took Kandahar and gave up after calculating it several times.
Bolun Pass.
After all, compared to other places where you can still come if you lose the bet, Bolun Pass is a bet that you lose. Apart from surrendering, the soldiers you attack may really only have the possibility of dying of thirst.
On the contrary, Nangui delivers grain and grass to Bolun Mountain Pass. However, the road is relatively difficult to walk, and there is no shortage of water resources. Because the rainwater from the Indian Ocean is blocked by the south sides of these two mountains, so we go to Nangui on the south bank.
Just consider the difficulty of mountain roads.
To put it simply, the difficulty here is roughly equivalent to that of leaving Qishan. It is difficult to deliver food and grass, but there is no need to consider the issue of drinking water. If Kushan does not count the loss of food and grass, it can still be delivered.
Benjim didn't mention any nonsense like helping Ardashir to attack Cao Cao. He just mentioned the most realistic thing they could provide. Whether they could help the other party or not, it didn't really matter.
For the Kushans, if Cao Cao on the Beigui side is removed, the Kushans will be able to free up their hands to deal with the Han army on the Ganges River. They can concentrate the power of the whole country to fight against the Han Dynasty who are working hard on the expedition.
Sudeva I was still very confident.
After Bankim made it clear, Aldashir's mentality was actually very complicated, but in the end he nodded, because Bankim was right, compared to the Caucasus, which can only support more than a million people, and cannot
The place to face the real opponent, the place that once belonged to Beigui, is really very tempting.
What is the danger of mountains and rivers? To be honest, Bei Gui is the only one. There is no more terrifying danger of mountains and rivers than Bei Gui. With that place, Ardashir has a lot more room for maneuver.
Therefore, after much thought, Aldashir chose to attack. Of course, before doing so, Aldashir needed to determine the true scope of the Heavenly Change. After all, all the decisions he made were based on the fact that the Heavenly Change was worldwide, and Rome had no regard for him.
There was no time for other people to take care of it, and the power of the Han Dynasty in Herat and even Central Asia had been significantly reduced in a short period of time.
Spying out large-scale scouts for spying, this kind of news naturally cannot be hidden from the Wei family, but Aldashir's reasons are very good. Although the Wei family has some doubts, they can only keep it in mind. After all, the changes of heaven will affect the Wei family.
The impact is not small, and they also require a lot of adjustments.
This gave Aldashir an opportunity to connect Central Asian thieves together. After all, he also had a lot of arrangements among these people.
It is undeniable that the aristocratic families also have arrangements among these thieves. Unfortunately, the unexpected events have made it obvious that the aristocratic families in Central Asia have no time to take care of themselves. This has led to Aldashir to activate the Central Asian thieves first, and directly lead them under the pretext of patrolling.
With the main force rushed to Herat.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to hide this behavior for too long, but Ardashir does not need to hide it for too long. He only needs to let the Han Dynasty discover it a few days later. If he takes down Herat, he
There is no need to look forward and backward anymore.
The thieves and bandits in Central Asia are also swarming, provoking and having fun everywhere. Although the major families have noticed the changes in the situation, the impact of the changes in the sky has made these people cautiously shrink. After all, taking risks is not what they are doing now.
Things to do.
As a result, Aldashir's running was only known to the Wei family, Yang family, and Cui family after he left for a few days, but no matter what, they could not believe that Aldashir was so bold.
