Chapter eight hundred and seventy-first speculation and undercurrents
According to initial speculation, if the prince from Dali chooses to take a detour and attack the Huihe tribe first, then there will be a problem that cannot be avoided no matter what.
That's right, it was Goguryeo that was bypassed.
It is true that Goguryeo's strength is at the bottom among the forces around Dali. If it were not for the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, it would have been swallowed up by all forces long ago.
After losing nearly two-thirds of Dali's immortal army, it was even worse for the already weak national strength.
But no matter how you say it, Goguryeo is a force.
If the prince of Dali chooses to go around, he must be prepared to be stabbed in the back by Goguryeo who is behind him at any time.
Everyone knows the truth of lip-death and tooth-coldness. Even if each other usually wants to devour the other, at such a critical moment, even Goguryeo, which has been seriously injured, will not mind joining forces with other forces when the right time comes.
Deal with the Dali army.
This is a problem that everyone can see. Based on the information they collected about Prince Dali, he should not leave such a big trouble for himself.
Therefore, the Immortal Army's detour should not be aimed at the Uighurs in the rear.
Since he is not a member of the Uighur clan, what is his goal?
Quickly or slowly, after deducing based on the marching route of the Dali army, they finally discovered the blind spot that they had discovered at the beginning.
Goguryeo is adjacent to, in addition to the Uighur clan, the eastern border of Dali. If the march route of the Immortal Army is deduced, it will pass through the border junction between Goguryeo and Dali.
This should be the last point that should not be ignored, but they cannot be blamed.
At the General Zhenguan in the northern border of Dali, where His Royal Highness King Yu personally marched, all the forces were on guard against the neighboring Dali border and followed up with a support force coming out. Therefore, they all chose the Chenbing border in order to
Prevent worries from happening.
But as time went by, they discovered that none of the Dali soldiers stationed in the neighboring Dali border area had any plans to send troops.
In the formation of the confrontation between the two armies, they felt an unspoken tacit understanding.
The news returned from the spies in Dali and those dissatisfied with the expeditionary prince of Dali seemed to confirm this point from the side.
After realizing this, they naturally gradually lowered their attention to the adjacent Dali territory.
Therefore, when the immortal army of Dali took a detour, almost all the forces did not think of the eastern border of Dali at the first time.
Could it be that Dali's expeditionary force really has more than these 30,000 soldiers?
Regarding this speculation, the most nervous people are undoubtedly the Goguryeo and Uighur clans.
Goguryeo and Uighur are the two forces closest to the eastern border of Dali. They are also the two forces that have invaded the eastern part of Dali the most in recent years when natural and man-made disasters have continued in Dali.
Originally, it was just an immortal army that had already left the two forces at a loss as to how to deal with it. If the soldiers from the eastern part of Dali, who had a real hatred for each other, were added to the mix, then their situation would be even more difficult in the future.
And when the immortal army approached the border junction between Goguryeo and Dali, the reaction of Jiande City, which belonged to the eastern border of Dali, finally confirmed the speculations of various forces.
…
At the beginning of the Immortal Army's expedition to the northern border of Dali, the Uighurs took the initiative to arrange troops on the border with Dali to prevent the eastern border of Dali from supporting the Immortal Army.
As a nomadic people, although they were the failed party among the Turks in the competition for the Great Khan, the strength of their cavalry cannot be underestimated.
In other words, above the cavalry, the only thing the Uighurs were afraid of was the original Turks. After the Turks were eliminated, the cavalry they were afraid of was only replaced by cavalry from the northern border.
As we all know, the strength of different armies in Dali is not very different due to its territory and population.
The Uighurs were afraid of the cavalry in the northern part of Dali, but they had always had a contemptuous attitude towards the cavalry in the eastern part of Dali that they had been dealing with for many years.
They have never looked down upon the cavalry in the east of Dali.
The impact of cavalry on the plains has always been the strongest among all arms.
Therefore, the Uighur clan, which has stronger cavalry, actually does not have much worry after crossing the border between Chen Bing and Dali.
If Jiande City really dares to send troops out of the city to support the Immortal Army in the far north, then they don't mind letting them taste the power of the Huihe cavalry after they leave the protection of the city.
The Uighurs, who had a large number of cavalry, were confident that they would ambush the reinforcements from Jiande City halfway.
However, what the Uighur clan and even all the forces did not expect was that the Immortal Army, which was supposed to be supported, would actually take a detour to meet the eastern Dali army that was supposed to be reinforcements.
Who is the reinforcement here?
The soldiers of the Uighur tribe were stationed at the border with Dali. When the immortal army was about to approach the border between Goguryeo and Dali, they finally noticed that an army belonging to the eastern border had left Jiande City.
This army is mainly infantry, but there are tens of thousands of people.
What frightened them the most was that the spies in Jiande City didn't know when this army was assembled, so they didn't get the news until after the army left the city.
But the good thing is that because of the march route of Dali's immortal army after leaving Hu City, although there has been no abnormality in Jiande City, the Uighur people have made some preparations in advance.
A cavalry team that was ready to go quickly assembled and headed towards the army leaving Jiande City.
…
After passing Uihe, continue along the border with Dali, and you will find a sea area.
There is an island above this sea area, and there is a small country on the island, which is Ryukyu.
If we follow the strict division of southeast, northwest, and northwest, Ryukyu is actually located to the east of Dali. The area of Jiande City, including the eastern border under its jurisdiction, is actually somewhat northeastern.
The reason for such deviation is that the territory of Dali is not a square pattern, but is divided along the mountains and water flows.
After Di Xin led the army to leave Hu City, and after the scouts sent the information back to Ryukyu, a certain figure finally left the dark room where no light could penetrate after several months.
It’s not just Ryukyu.
Close to the southern border of Dali, outside the Western Region and even among some forces that are not adjacent to Dali, a person in power who is either already in a high position or has suddenly emerged has also begun to take action.
When Di Xin, the largest bright current, surged, the waves in the darkness also began to turbulence.
