Lu Xun resigned decisively. He was now almost certain that his master arranged for him to come over, and there must be speculation about Kushan.
"Bo Yan has actually grown to such an extent." Xun Yu said with emotion as he watched Lu Xun leave, "I was still a little immature when I was in Chang'an, but now I have grown a lot."
"After all, he is Chen Zichuan's apprentice." Chen Gong said casually, and then changed the topic with a somewhat complicated tone, "Would you like to continue the previous topic? In fact, I don't think it's interesting anymore. If you don't want to fight, I'm not interested at all. nothing."
Cheng Yu glared at Chen Gong fiercely, while Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Mao Jie and other enlightened factions were obviously helpless. To be honest, none of the civil servants under Cao Cao, including Xun Yu, could understand what Chen Gong was. What kind of mentality.
If we want to attack Cao Cao, with Chen Gong's ability, if we really do it, we would have achieved results long ago. Besides, it's not like we have never attacked Cao Cao before. The Battle of Yanzhou made Cao Cao miserable.
But it was obvious that Chen Gong had no intention of messing with Cao Cao. To be precise, after Chen Gong came from Congling to join Cao Cao, although he always showed an expression of disdain for Cao Cao, he was very motivated to work and worked hard. Very good.
In fact, the most obvious thing is that Chen Gong expressed his disagreement with Cao Cao while working hard for Cao Cao. It was like digging up the roots of the Beigui Original Party. Others who had not studied for so long would never have thought of such a method, and Chen Gong The palace really used up part of its reserve intelligence to lay the foundation for Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao lost a daughter, he got what he had always longed for.
For a political creature like Cao Cao, when he first learned about the situation, he cursed Chen Gong, but when he looked back and realized how many troubles he had solved and how many benefits he had gained, his inner excitement could not even be explained in words. .
Just by looking at how much Cao Cao has grown recently, you can feel what Cao Cao really thinks.
It can be said that if Chen Gong was Cao Cao's subordinate, he could at least be in the second position now, which is the same level as Xun Yu. However, Chen Gong is not Cao Cao's subordinate, and he is lively and active every day, showing Cao Cao a kind of, I live every day. One day, it will pierce your heart.
This is very confusing. Now not only the civil servants under Cao Cao can't understand what Chen Gong is thinking, but Cao Cao himself can't understand Chen Gong.
You can say there is a grudge. Yanzhou's foundation has disappeared. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mortal grudge. However, Cao Cao had the blame back then and the Han Empire did not collapse. This grudge is not considered a mortal grudge. The two sides can still sit down and drink a glass of turbid wine. Let’s talk about the past.
But Chen Gong made it clear to Cao Cao that after that time, he would never go back. But after saying this, Chen Gong was more motivated to work for Cao Cao than when he was Cao Cao's subordinate, and then he worked for Cao Cao. Cao Cao made successive plans, which made Cao Cao somewhat suspicious that Chen Gong had changed his mind.
Privately, he went to ask Chen Gong, Gongtai, please come back, and then Cao Cao covered his face and went back.
Turning back, Chen Gong gave Cao Cao another big gift, which made up for the shortcomings that Cao Cao had not made up for in the past ten years. It can be said that after this move, Cao Cao felt that there was no need to worry about what happened back then. The public stage also got involved, and the two parties just broke up.
In line with Chen Gong's foresight for his family in this regard, Cao Cao was inspired again. In addition, it was spring again, everything was recovering, and the dissatisfaction with marrying his daughter had almost evaporated, and Cao Cao came again.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao is also very scary to be courteous to a corporal, and Chen Gong is very capable. The relationship between the two parties was very deep in the early years. So far, it seems that they still have a relationship foundation. Cao Cao just pretends that his family is getting divorced, and now he is going around in circles. We are together again, how about remarrying?
Cao Cao persevered and Chen Gong continued to dislike him, but the amazing thing was that Chen Gong still disliked him, but he still worked hard for Cao Cao. No matter who Cao Cao beat, or someone else beat Cao Cao, Chen Gong would come forward to make suggestions.
Cao Cao may have gotten used to it by now. Whenever he met Chen Gong, he would talk about getting back together. Chen Gong would glare at Cao Cao with disdain and then continue working.
Just like now, as soon as he heard that Guishang was going to beat Cao Cao, Chen Gong stood up and made suggestions very actively. Then when he heard that the main target was not Cao Cao, Chen Gong withered and seemed to be scattered, which was not interesting. You can organize it casually. Anyway, it is a melee in the Kabul Valley. It is recommended to pile up a mountain of soil to seal off the Kabul Valley, pile up a mountain of crossbows and wait for Kushan to come over.
Chen Gong's tone was very perfunctory, but he had to admit that Chen Gong's plan was very correct.
Most of the valleys formed by the Helmand River passing through the Hindu Kush Mountains are not too wide. Although there are important towns like Kabul that can support millions of people after later development, most places are only a few miles long. It is more than ten miles wide, and of course the narrowest point is only 600 meters.
Therefore, although Chen Gong was perfunctory, it was indeed a very good strategy.
In terms of earthwork work, with the infrastructure level of the Han Dynasty, it is basically not difficult to block both sides of the river valley through engineering methods. Even if the construction is started a little late, it may not be possible to build a complete blockade wall by the time Kapil arrives, but it is used to Disgusting the other person is enough.
"This plan is not very suitable." Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
"Bei Gui is more familiar with the terrain than we are. After all, the valley here is a mountainous valley. They have maps that can walk up the cliffs of the valley. Our exploration of this area is not as good as the other party. Although we rely on the locals We also have part of the map now." Lu Meng pointed out the shortcomings in Chen Gong's plan, and then sighed.
A large part of the reason why Lu Meng was able to run away from Kapil last year was because some of Kapil's people walked on the cliff. Although this was a flaw last time, the opponent was able to climb the cliff. Chen Gong's The plan is likely to be counterattacked.
"That's it, but I neglected this point." Chen Gong nodded when he heard this, "Actually, it's what I said before. Since the opponent's main target is not on Cao Sikong's side, we can just hold on to the river valley. There is no need to fight to the death. One game.”
"Not necessarily." Xun You, who had been pretending to be dead, said slowly. After Xun You opened his mouth, the people who had been discussing in low voices also fell silent.
"The troops that Kapil can use are around 100,000, but these are elites. The 40,000 dual-talented troops mobilized from the south can display combat effectiveness of up to three-talented people here. This is not what we want to delay. It can be easily delayed." Xun You shook his head and said, "And Gongtai, why aren't we the main target?"
"It's hard to pick a persimmon," Chen Gong said calmly, "Compared to us, the aristocratic families in the Persian Gulf are weaker, and Kushan's navigation skills are guaranteed. Their ships and timber reserves have indeed suffered heavy losses. But it’s been two years, so they can still make a transport ship with tens of thousands of people, and they should be able to even make more.”
Xun You nodded. In fact, when Lu Xun said that the Kushans had attacked the Han family that occupied the territory in the Persian Gulf, everyone present reacted. Among their inferences, those two should exist The legion taking the Bolan Pass is likely to take a boat to Central Asia.
There is no way to distinguish this kind of marching change in the early stage, even if there are scouts and spies, because both Bolan Pass and Minnagala are on the west side of Peshawar, and the problem of the ship is very important to you. Frost is definitely not a problem.
Even though Kushan's shipbuilding industry and Yingan wood reserves suffered a devastating blow two years ago, Kushan still doesn't have enough ships to transport tens of thousands of people.
Not to mention that it was impossible for Xun Qi and the others to burn all these things. Even if they burned them all, in two years, they should have saved enough materials to start construction.
"We have responsibilities and obligations towards Central Asia, right?" Xun You asked slowly, and Chen Gong nodded silently.
"Yehou, Sikong, and Chiyanghou, the three parties themselves are the forces arranged by the Han Dynasty to ensure that there will be no surprises in the enfeoffment to a certain extent." Chen Gong said slowly.
Chen Xi said that it would be dangerous to enfeoff the family, so don't blame yourself if it's over. But in fact, Chen Xi still had a good arrangement, at least he couldn't be beaten to death by an irresistible force before the family had grown up.
This is not in line with Chen Xi's way of cultivating the country's strength, so Chen Xi arranged three bodyguards around the family. In fact, the Yuan family, the Cao family, and the three idiots are all responsible for Central Asia. They cannot allow excessive power to enter. Central Asia.
After all, this place was used by Chen Xi to cultivate dragon cubs. I didn’t realize that even the boss had been prepared and fed something in advance. Was Aldashir aware of this?
After finally prying out so many aristocratic families, not to mention raising dragons, at least dragons and dragon-like creatures must be raised. Only in this way can it be valuable for Chen Xi to cultivate, and at present, there are already many The young family's majestic family appears for the first time.
If a tiger were thrown in at this time, Chen Xi's hard work might be ruined, so there were only three big guys who shouldered the responsibility.
After Chen Gong said this, his expression condensed slightly, but then he shook his head, "Even if we have the responsibility, it is not realistic. Even if Kushan has ships, it is impossible to dispatch too many troops close to the Persian Gulf. The major aristocratic families will definitely receive the news before tomorrow morning. If they are not prepared, they will definitely be miserable, but with preparation..."
Chen Gong said and sneered twice. If all the major families were prepared, let alone those losers. At least for a certain family that Chen Gong knew that was hanging out in the Persian Gulf, as long as they were not beaten to death in one go, Kushan It will take some time to kill the regular army. The place where our family lives is fortified!
This family is called the Hedong Pei family. The private soldiers led by the contemporary head of the family, Pei Mao, almost had a head-on fight with Li Jue's Xiliang cavalry in Chang'an, but now they seem to be unable to defeat them.
