"If you ask me, I will still say what I said before." Chen Gong restrained his teasing smile and looked at Xun You solemnly, "This battle is really meaningless. With this bad terrain, neither side can stand. There are only two places that can be opened, one is in Kabul and the other is in Kandahar. If the enemy can reach it, whoever reaches it will win."
"In other words, this battle is just a pure wrestling?" Xun You looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Don't you think it's strange for Gongtai?"
"Yes, I think it's strange." Chen Gong nodded, "But the current situation is actually the same whether it's us or the other side. The conditions for both sides are very clear. They either don't take action, or they fight head-on in the river valley. They are stronger. The winner is the winner, there is no discussion about this situation, all the weirdness, it is meaningless to discuss the core of this matter."
"In other words, Gongtai also believes that the target is in Central Asia?" Xun Yu looked at his nephew, and then said slowly.
"It is precisely because the target is in Central Asia that I find it strange that Kushan is qualified to compete with us in terms of mobility? Are the Qiang people in Congling really just watching the show?" Chen Gong said with a sneer.
"This is not in line with the strategic plan, but the reality is that the opponent has already taken action, so it is better to be yourself than to make any strange claims. Kandahar is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if we take the initiative, we still have enough troops to defend." Chen Qun looked aside. He said casually, "This terrain is bad. Even if Kushan wants to stab us in the back, we have to go through the desert and then go to the plateau."
Fight from the wilderness of Shuidu to the Gobi Desert, then rush into the desert, and then attack the plateau oasis. If this tactic can be successful, it will show how strong the executor's ability to command troops is.
I’m not bragging. The last person to do this in history was Alexander. The main reason for his success was that India had not thought about this kind of gameplay at that time. As for those who imitate this method in the future, every one will count, as long as the other party is prepared. , all went to the cemetery.
This is why when Cao Cao attacked Kandahar before, he spent the first half of the year in the desert with Kapil, because the terrain was so pitiful. But now that Cao Cao has occupied Kandahar, he will not talk about it when attacking. When defending, The terrain advantages on both sides are particularly outrageous.
"In this terrain, unless we are assassins, the army is not assassins." Cheng Yu also made the same conclusion. Cao Cao's current situation is very clear. As long as the defense is strong and there is no problem with food and grass, Guishang will dominate the country. It is difficult to defeat Cao Cao even with all his strength.
"So, from a strategic perspective, it is impossible for us to draw a reasonable conclusion." Chen Gong said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked a little solemn. They were unable to determine the opponent's strategic layout. It was a very dangerous situation for the war. Before this, apart from not understanding what Chen Xi was playing, they really had no idea. Have encountered this situation.
"Don't look like that." Chen Gong knocked on the table, "I don't think the other party is a person of Chen Zichuan's level. Furthermore, even if it is a person like Chen Zichuan, I won't be able to completely fail to understand the strategy. The opponent, in my opinion, is a kind of stupidity, so realistically, the opponent should really be prepared to act according to the opportunity."
Cheng Yu stared at Chen Gong dumbfounded. This conclusion really frightened Cheng Yu. Without a complete strategic plan for such a large-scale war, isn't this looking for death?
"I, Chen Gong, just mentioned it here. Unless it really doesn't exist, it definitely doesn't exist. I can't see the slightest trace of the arrangement." Chen Gong tilted his head slightly and said with a bit of solemnity, "I may not be as good as normal. You are no matter how strong you are, but when it comes to breaking the situation, as long as your opponent is still a human being, it is impossible for you to have no trace in my eyes."
Chen Gong was a little confused when he was investigating before. After all, raising the intelligence to the limit of human beings is not a joke. However, after glancing over and sorting out the information he knew, he was stunned and didn't understand what Guishang was playing.
This situation is unbelievable for Chen Gong. Even if Chen Xi had caught the clues with just a few sentences, and then judged a lot of things in reverse, Chen Gong did not believe that the other party would do it. There is Chen Zichuan.
In Chen Gong's words, if there was Chen Zichuan on the opposite side, the battle between Han and Gui would never be like this. And without Chen Zichuan, nothing can be seen, so there is only one possibility, and that is on the opposite side. There is no layout per se.
"Without strategic planning, just relying on every opportunity, isn't this looking for death?" Sima Yi murmured to himself, not even knowing what expression to use. This kind of thing was absolutely impossible to happen in the eyes of civil servants in the Central Plains.
"Why are you seeking death? There is only one road in Beigui, from Kandahar to Kabul. The seven three-talented men on the opposite side move forward here, and the remaining pawns block back and wait for the opponent to make a mistake. Is there a problem?" Chen Gong sneered. Said, "So this battle is very boring. To put it too much, Guishan has achieved what Sun Tzu calls the Art of War: 'The victorious soldier wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated soldier fights first and then seeks victory.' Please taste it carefully."
This is Chen Gong's attitude towards this battle. Especially after knowing Guishang's plan, he admired Zhu Helai, the new arrival from Guishang. What does it mean to be in an invincible position and seek victory later? invincible position!
After Sima Yi and others explained the true situation of this battle to Chen Gong, their expressions were a little complicated. Thinking about it carefully, it is true that no one can win the war between Kandahar and Kabul. Both sides are top-notch legions and are limited. It's impossible to spread out due to the terrain. If you fight to the death, you can win, but if you want to win a big victory, it's absolutely impossible.
What's more, with the current situation in Guishuang, as long as the damn imperial scepter can't be killed, the opponent doesn't care about the loss of the so-called three talents. Even if the Han Dynasty annihilates a three-talent army, the top two talents can fill in. Immediately there was another one.
Under such circumstances, there will be no breakthrough in the Kabul Valley War between Cao Cao and Kapil. Even if there is a temporary victory or defeat, it will have no strategic significance. Kushan cannot defeat Kandahar. , Cao Cao cannot defeat Kabul, then the strategic situation will not change, and the situation will not make breakthrough progress.
"Guishang is waiting for the Central Asian family to make a mistake." Cheng Yu said with a long sigh, getting rid of strategic thinking and only conducting operations at the tactical level. There is nothing to say about that. Guishan is here to take advantage, and the family can Don't make mistakes?
"It's over. If the aristocratic families are independent, they will definitely not make mistakes, at least for a long time." Chen Qun reached out to cover his face. He felt like Ming Jing. What is there to say? A single aristocratic family will not make mistakes. When fighting on my own, I am very cautious, but with such a group of people mixed together, how can it be possible without making mistakes!
To put it too much, if the hidden cards of the Central Asian families were all concentrated in the hands of one family, as long as this family could support the logistics and organizational strength, then this family would dare to fight head-on with the Roman Empire.
The more than twenty dual talents are not forged. Even if they are copied based on seeds, there are such and such problems. If power is really concentrated in the hands of a huge political entity like the Yuan family, what can it do? The combat effectiveness is definitely not weaker than that of the End of the Rest.
But if it were a dozen large aristocratic groups with such power, it would be over. Just wait and see how fun it is. Chen Qun was very experienced in the matter of aristocratic families holding each other back.
Xun Yu and Xun You looked at each other, not even knowing what to say.
"Marquis Chen asked Boyan to come over, probably with the intention of serving as a central point for rectification." Lu Meng opened his mouth and said somewhat unconfidently.
Sima Yi had already looked at Xun Yu at this time. He had no other intentions. Just look at the multi-headed monster Xun. After all, this is still the same surname, and there are more people with spiritual talents in it than one hand can count. That's it. The Xun family was also demolished.
Don't make mistakes? Impossible. If there is only one family, they will definitely do their best under the pressure of Kushan and the bandits. But now that a group of aristocratic families are gathered together, wake up, everyone knows each other’s background, and they all know that these families together must be powerful. After passing the so-called bandits and the Kushan squad, under such circumstances, if there is no small tricks, is it still a noble family?
"Lu Boyan can probably suppress it." Chen Qun said dumbfounded, but no one present could believe this, because none of the people present could suppress that group of Central Asian aristocratic families. To put it too much, the entire Central Plains could suppress it. I'm afraid Chen Xi is the only one in this group.
Liu Bei can use other methods, but if he really wants these aristocratic families to be obedient, he can only ask Chen Xi to come in person. Otherwise, why not hold back? You think this is playing house!
"Let's give a notice and do our best." Chen Qun didn't know what expression to use and suggested rather awkwardly.
"They probably won't listen." Xun Yu said helplessly, "Let's explain the situation to Boyan. Compared to relying on those aristocratic families, I think Boyan is more reliable. At least there is nothing too much in it. Obvious interest relationship."
Lu Xun had no idea that what Chen Xi had prepared for him was a sinkhole. Compared with the official debut battle, this time he not only had to fight, but also had to devote a lot of energy to suppressing the various active aristocratic families. More importantly, Chen Xi The main force given to Lu Xun was only 10,000 people from Congling...
But for now, Lu Xun is still very optimistic. After all, he has not taken over this matter yet. He just thinks that this matter is not too difficult based on his many years of theory and experience, and he pointed out Kushan's goal to the point, so that Lu Xun felt that this matter was actually very simple.
"I don't know if Boyan can survive." Chen Qun sighed and said. Chen Qun was really not optimistic about this matter. This is not a problem that should be solved at this age.
