When Chen Xi rushed back, Cao Cao had already received the news that Vesutiva had raised 300,000 troops to attack Guan Yu.
"Let's take action. Even if we are not completely ready now, relatively speaking, Guishuang is not ready either. If we delay it any longer, it may be difficult." Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, starting from the beginning of the year, Cao Cao and Sai Si Kapil, Barak, Falgun and others came to blows, and the two sides fought and fought in the Leqistan Desert.
However, with the passage of time, Cao Cao has gained the upper hand due to his equipment advantage, but Cao Cao has not touched Kandahar once.
The terrain of that place is too weird. Needless to say, the north and south are the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Suleiman Mountains respectively. The southwest is the Lazistan Desert. Kandahar, where my home is located, is an oasis, with an altitude of up to one meter. Kilometers, if you want to attack, you can only attack from your back.
What made Cao Cao collapse even more was that Guishan had occupied all the oases near Kandahar, and it was difficult for him to attack them. So far, Kapil and others can even sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and fight Cao Cao on various terrains, annihilating the Han army. At the same time, he tempered the elites under his command.
It can be said that if the 80,000 newly trained elites under Kapil are placed in the hands of Rahul, they will definitely be able to exert the organizational power of the previous head-to-head battle with Guan Yu. The biggest difference between Bei Gui and Nan Gui is actually Here, Nangui's organizational skills are so poor that even Rahul may capsize when facing Zhang Ren in a large army battle.
Speaking of which, this is already a very embarrassing situation, even if it is because there is a gap period of more than ten years, and the commander is a miscellaneous fish like Nan Gui, but Rahul is better than an opponent of Tianming Zhangren's level. If the boat capsized, it would be considered a humiliation for the famous general.
In fact, if Vesudeva I could really trust Rahul, he would have handed over the regular army of the Beigui to Rahul on a large scale, and composed it directly from top to bottom of the regular soldiers of the Beigui, instead of dismantling the elite army and forcibly By supplementing the organizational strength of the Kshatriya soldiers in the south, Rahul will not be defeated even if he loses.
However, the greatest trust that Vesudeva I could give to Rahul was to give him tens of thousands of elites from the northern nobles, and then use the southern nobles to form a huge foundation. If there were more, it would not work.
There is no shortage of soldiers in Beigui. Whether it is Fulward or Kapil, they can quickly replenish their troops by relying on the military service system after Vesudeva I gave the authority. But among these people, Fulward and Kapil, who are the most skilled There is only one Balak left between Rahul!
Just like Huangfu Song jokingly said that two Zhu Juns could not defeat him, this statement is actually not a joke, but true. Two Zhu Juns commanding an army of 100,000 people cannot defeat one Huangfu Song commanding 200,000 troops. It is even possible that There will be a wave of people getting hit by a hammer.
The military is really not something that two eighties can defeat one ninety. There is no problem with Vesudeva I's idea, but Rahul met too many people, and he was really confused. Punch to death.
Cao Cao is now encountering another situation. The organizational strength of Beigui is only a little behind that of the Han Dynasty. However, the terrain advantage occupied by Beigui is too obvious. It is obvious that a group of people under Cao's command looked at Kandahar. , I didn’t know how to start.
Even if Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu were mentally prepared before, after the desert overturned the obstacles, they were a little numb when they saw the passage between the two mountains rising rapidly, and a large slope appeared.
The top strategists are not gods. Opening up the desert has made Cao's supply line a bit unsustainable, but after crossing the desert, a plateau oasis appears directly. Attack from the top?
The group fell into silence when they first saw it, and then they were really impressed by Alexander's operation.
However, the war has continued until now, and the intensity has begun to stabilize. Cao Cao and Kapil both have an understanding of each other's combat effectiveness. But because of this understanding, looking at the plateau oasis on this must-pass road, no matter who is under Cao Cao's command They all felt irritated from within.
"Our food and grass may not be able to withstand it." Xun Yu pressed his temples and closed his eyes as he crossed the Leqistan Desert to deliver food to Kandahar, which was being attacked by the Han army. He really couldn't bear it.
"So the people in Beigui are confident." Chen Qun sighed and said, "But now we can't let go of this opportunity. This is an opportunity to provide support and cover, whether it's for us or the other side of the Ganges Plain."
"The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. If we want to attack Kandahar, we must at least send the food and grass to the periphery of the plateau first." Sima Yi's mouth turned bitter. He didn't want to participate in this kind of thing at all, but the current situation did not allow him not to participate. .
"How long has it been since we took over the Leqistan Desert?" Chen Gong said coldly, "I previously suggested that after taking over the Leqistan Desert, we should go there to stockpile food. Even if there is a possibility of being captured by Kushan, we should go there first. Collect food. After 30 days of food supply, we will directly raise troops to kill him. No matter how difficult it is for him to attack from behind, we will directly attack him by force."
"It's useless to say such things now." Cheng Yu glanced at Chen Gong and said. The relationship between the two people has never been good, and they are often at odds when working, but they can both do their jobs very well.
"How much food and grass have we hoarded under the Kandahar plateau?" Xun You said slowly, having been silent for a long time.
"Less than ten days." Cheng Yu said in a muffled voice.
Although Cheng Yu and Chen Gong had quarreled over this matter, it was very dangerous to do so, and there was no one to protect him in front. Once there were people in front, the food and grass sent there would be consumed again, and the hoarding would be slower, so he could only Choose the unprotected approach.
This method is too dangerous in Cheng Yu's opinion, and it is very likely that the meat buns will beat the dogs and be swallowed by Guishang. However, everyone else also understands why this matter was prepared, and Cao Cao has newly cultivated grain crops. In the land, Zao Zhi, Han Hao and others were in charge of collecting grain, so there was no shortage of grain. Liu Ba also opened up the trade channel on the Gansis side, so buying some grain from the two river basins was not a problem, so this matter It finally passed.
After passing, Chen Gong may have deliberately sought trouble and strongly demanded that Cheng Yu be responsible for this matter. Although Cheng Yu was unhappy, he actually did a pretty good job.
"We can go and make plans for the other party's grain and fodder." Chen Gong suddenly said. Everyone frowned when they heard this. They all knew that Guishan had a grain and fodder storage point outside Kandahar, but they also all knew that it was The bait, to put it too much, the food and grass there were poisoned, and they thought it was normal.
"Hmm, is it possible that Gongtai guessed where Guishang's grain and grass were stored?" Cao Cao was actually very familiar with Chen Gong. Seeing Chen Gong's expression, he asked thoughtfully.
"I can't guarantee that my guess is correct, but nine times out of ten it should be there." Chen Gong touched his chin and said, "The fake savings point is used as bait. We don't care whether we rob it or not, Kushan We will definitely deploy manpower there. Even if we don’t go there to get food and grass, the people there are obviously bait. If we attack Kandahar, if it is too big..."
As soon as these words came out, all the counselors present became serious. No matter when, if they go to attack Kandahar, they will definitely withdraw before they can no longer continue, and when they withdraw, they will kill the group who are ready to take their own bait. It's a matter of course for the guy.
"If you think about it this way, not only the food and grass are bait, but also the people who hide themselves as a circle of fake food and grass." Cheng Yu looked more serious after hearing this, "In this case, there must be a real place to store food and grass in that area. "
"We need someone to step on that trap." Cao Cao also thought of this.
"Gongtai, if it is triple bait, what will happen in the end?" The dull Xun You suddenly asked.
Xun You's words made everyone present couldn't help but be stunned. Chen Gong heard that these cases were false. After a while, he shook his head and said, "This is unrealistic. If such a thing really happens, I'm afraid the war will start immediately. Guishang will not Laying such heavy bait.”
"Beigui's food station is real." Xun Yu suddenly said.
Chen Gong directly unlocked the spiritual talent, while Xun You used the spiritual talent that he had previously used in a reverse direction, making it impossible for him to ignore any details. After a while, both Chen Gong and Xun You were His face was slightly cold.
"Attack that grain storage point, that grain storage point is real." Chen Gong said very seriously, "The wise men here in Beigui really pushed us past and put them right under our noses. If you think about it this way, Sally’s camel ride is over and it’s just numbing us.”
"Nine times out of ten, that's the case. We killed a lot of camels, but it's not like we killed soldiers." Xun You said with a cold light in his eyes. When they plotted against Kushan, Kushan was also there. It should be said that Bei Gui, who is familiar with the terrain here, is the one who plotted against them, right?
"Are you saying that Beigui might have piled up grain and grass near us?" Mao Jie, who had been silent all the time, looked obviously unhappy. After all, he was in charge of this. If Kuishang brought all the grain and grass here, what was their purpose? it goes without saying.
"The autumn harvest is just around the corner." Xun Yu looked the same way.
"It's better to strike first, or is it?" Cao Cao sat up straight and said extremely fiercely. You actually want to take advantage of me, Cao Cao's lair. It's weird that I won't let you be promoted.
"In the short term, it may be difficult for us to find the food and grass reserves that the other party has hidden here. Let's strike first and kill them!" Xun Yu, who has always been a gentleman, did not hide the ruthlessness in his eyes at this time.
"Okay, let's notify all the generals to assemble. Since the soldiers are so fast, let's go all out to support Guan Yunchang in the south. I want to see what they can do in the north!" Cao Cao's eyes were fierce, and he actually wanted to kill him. Already?
