Compared with other guarantee methods, the bond of interest and value is the best way to guarantee the future of Ardashir.
Doesn’t the Han Dynasty want to conquer Ardashir? He definitely thought about it. Just looking at the Holy Death Rider, Tavasdes understood what the Han Dynasty wanted. If Aldashir had no other ambitions, like Omzada, then becoming a member of the Han Dynasty and sealing the title Hou Baixiang is almost inevitable.
But here's the problem, Ardashir didn't want to surrender.
This is a very fatal problem. For a person who does not want to surrender, the Han Dynasty has nothing to do, so the Caucasus Prisoner was created.
Yes, in Tavasdes' view, the Caucasus is a prison. Although the environment there is good and there are dangerous mountains and rivers, the upper limit is clearly here, and Ardashir cannot spend decades there. Empty consumption.
The so-called African development plan is actually a way for Aldashir to break away from the past, so all the roads pointed out to Aldashir by the Han Dynasty are not the roads that Aldashir needs.
Because he understood this and saw through the reality that the Han Dynasty wanted to destroy the Kushans, Tavasdes finally agreed with Ardashir's plan, and made a more targeted adjustment to this plan-let the Kushans Win, not take Herat.
It is true that by capturing Herat, Aldashir has gained the qualification to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers to a certain extent. Moreover, if the situation here is maintained, Aldashir is also absolutely sure that when the supply of food and grass is complete, Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for an ordinary army to capture Herat.
But this is not enough. Herat is definitely not self-sufficient in food and grass. Transporting food and grass from Bolan Pass to Kandahar is not a big problem, but transporting food and grass to Herat. Why did Kushan give up Herat? It really looked like Aldaxi. You must be blind.
So after taking Herat, we stopped the offensive and sat on the mountain to watch the fight between the tigers. Aldashir's final result would definitely be one death, but there was another possibility. Aldashir's Holy Death Rider was involved in Oswin and the others. With most of Cao Cao's attention, what about attacking Kandahar?
There is no need to even attack Kandahar directly, the main force of the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Oswin.
This kind of thing is impossible for most legions, but it is within the capabilities of the Holy Death Cavalry.
The Assault Cavalry has high attack speed, high damage, and very strong mobility. Even if the Holy Death Cavalry's combat effectiveness does not reach the level of the Tenth Knight, it can still achieve the combat effectiveness of four or five full-scale Imperial Guards in a short period of time, and This is also the biggest advantage of the elite army, its ability to switch to battle and its concealment.
Of course, with this approach, even if Aldashir and Oswin attack from both sides, there is a high probability that the Holy Death Cavalry will lose one or two thousand people, but such a victory is enough to reverse the current situation, and Aldashir's five thousand The Holy Death Cavalry's failure to defeat Kandahar does not mean that the main force of Beigui led by Oswin cannot defeat it.
This can be said to be a fact that only the Holy Death Cavalry can do at present, and it is impossible for anyone else to guess it, because from a chain of suspicion and a chain of logic, in the current environment, Aldashir does not care about the loss. , let Herat go without fighting, and forcefully crossed Kandahar to backstab the main force in the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Oswin. There was a missing link in these chains.
This was something that even Oswin, who was an ally, and Vesudeva I, who was controlling the situation behind the scenes, could not have expected.
This is no longer a question of intelligence, but a question of blind spots in thinking.
"Crossing Herat and then crossing Kandahar?" Aldashir breathed out. If Tavasdes hadn't explained to him in detail the real reasons hidden under the surface situation, even Aldashir would not have done it. Make this choice.
Because this choice is too bad, it will weaken Aldashir again, which has become a rootless tree, and its most important trump card will suffer heavy losses. After this fight, if Kushan turns back and attacks, Aldasir will be weakened again. Hill will most likely die suddenly.
However, Tavasdes' explanation dispelled Ardashir's doubts - the Han Dynasty was stronger than the Kushan, and the Kushan was stronger than Ardashir, and their opponents were both Han Dynasty, so now it should be their best During the honeymoon period, Guishang was even willing to lend them food, troops, and land.
Just like the honeymoon period between the Jiangdong forces and Liu Bei forces in official history, during that time the Jiangdong forces were even willing to lend Nan County to Liu Bei, and later Liu Bei was also willing to return the three counties to Sun Quan.
It can be said that before the comparison of forces between the two sides crosses a certain line, the forces in Jiangdong must regard Liu Bei's forces as their best allies. Of course, conversely, once the forces of allies cross certain lines, or the forces of enemies appear In order to weaken, it is inevitable to turn the gun.
Tavasdes didn't know the concept of the Three Kingdoms, nor did he understand what it meant to stand as a tripartite, but he understood people's hearts and could feel the diplomatic skills of Vesutiva I.
Therefore, Tavasdes knew very well that instead of taking the city of Herat, he would sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, attack Cao Cao from both sides with all his strength, fight for his own losses, severely damage Cao Cao, and then take Kandahar with the help of Oswin. , but it will most likely reverse the overall situation.
After that, as long as Ardashir defends the Kandahar area, Vesutiva I will most likely choose to withdraw most of the elite regiments from the north, and then hand over part of the command of Beigui to Ardashir, only in the Khyber Pass. Arrange your defenses and give Ardashir unimaginable freedom.
After all, those people in Beigui who have not forgotten their original aspirations have split away. Even Vesutiva I, who represents the core royal family of the Dayue clan, has moved to Qunu City. The southward movement of the political center has actually explained a lot.
Tavasdes even estimated that if his guess was correct, all Vesutiva I might need was peace so that he could let go and fight against the northern forces of the Han Dynasty. It might not matter who held this power.
After all, the political center has moved south to Qunu City, and the oath that the ancestors of the Great Yuezhi once made to stay in Peshawar has been ended. Moreover, those who have not forgotten why the Great Yuezhi established Kushan have also split. In this case, what's the point of sticking to Beigui?
The Ganges-Indus region is the real essence of the Kushans, and the northern Kushans are essentially just barracks to avoid the encroachment of the Brahmans in the south.
So now that the southern Brahmins are finished, Vesudeva I has moved towards the path of integrating political power and divine power, then the existence of the Beigui military camp has little significance. Instead, it is the right choice to move the personnel from the North to the South to consolidate the imperial power. .
This plan has not been implemented before. To put it bluntly, isn't it because the current Beigui cannot be empty, and if it is empty and the Han Dynasty invades, then the imperial career of Vesutiva I can be regarded as over by default? That's why the stalemate continues.
This can be said to be a blind spot that the Han Dynasty has not considered at present, because in this era, Vesudeva I was the first emperor to combine political power with divine power, and before that, the source of power of the emperor also had certain limitations. question.
Therefore, they have not experienced the unity of political power and religious power, and no one has any reference. Even Tavasdes speculated that this might be because Bankim said too much, allowing Tavasdes to figure out some kind of idea from the details. possible.
This possibility, combined with the current situation, made Tavasdes directly make a surprising move and successfully persuaded Aldashir.
Although Aldashir was heartbroken over the possible huge losses, he had to admit that Tavasdes's judgment made Aldashir suddenly enlightened. It turned out that it could still be done like this, and the situation could still develop like this. .
Although the terrain of Beigui is very bad, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a barren mountain, but if the weak can survive in this kind of place, it will definitely be better than other places. Therefore, after Tavasdes carefully analyzed many possibilities, Alda Hill truly saw the light on the road to success.
"Then it's up to you. I really can't help you tactically. All I can solve for you are strategic problems. I'm not too strong at the tactical level. You can leave the internal affairs to me. I'm sorry for the rest. ." Tavasdes looked at Ardashir, who was dressed in military uniform, and gave a very solemn salute, because he knew that this battle would determine his future fate.
"You have done a good enough job, just leave the rest to me. Speaking of which, if you hadn't pointed out these things to me, I would still be trapped in a cage now." Aldashir said with great emotion, "Wish me success."
"Actually, entering Kandahar is just a cage." Tavasdes sighed and said, but then adjusted his expression and looked at Ardashir, "I wish you victory!"
Aldashir nodded, and then strode away. Tavasdes looked at Aldashir's back and felt confused for the first time, but then he patted his face to calm himself down. He will definitely win once. Strategically speaking, he has almost jumped over the blind spots of his opponents and teammates. He is a real surprise player and cannot be defended.
The only possibility is that due to some accident, Aldashir accidentally capsizes, or Oswin accidentally capsizes, but these possibilities are very small. Aldashir's mobility is ridiculous, and the Miracle Legion's ability to move is too strong. As the main force of Kushan, Oswin is not easily defeated, so an accident is impossible.
"I hope everything goes well." Tavasdes rarely prayed to a goddess.
At the same time, Ardashir prepared his army, and the full number of Holy Death Riders stood in the bleak autumn wind, silently looking at Ardashir standing on the general stage.
All of them firmly believed that Ardashir could lead them to fight a path to hope.
