Of course, it was impossible to catch up so directly. The mountain road from Kabul to Bactria was not very easy to walk. If you rushed in without enough food and grass, you would basically be seeking death by default.
After all, not any legion has Guan Hai's ability to eat a big meal, march with all his strength for three days, without sleeping in the middle, and still maintain peak combat effectiveness when entering the battlefield.
If you have this ability, you can catch up. After all, Chen Zhong has brought a lot of food and grass, and his marching speed will not be too fast. He can definitely catch up in a day or two. As long as he can catch up, there is still hope to capture Chen Zhong. But the question is, can Dadatu go without food or water for a day or two?
Of course not, so facing the mountain road leading to Bactra and the remaining grain and grass that were extinguished outside the mountain road, Da Da Tu looked up to the sky and roared, which was very angry.
"Send a letter to General Oswin to inform the other party of what happened in Kabul, and send an urgent and secret message to Peshawar, asking the other party to misappropriate part of the grain and send it to Kabul first." Dadatu ordered sadly and indignantly, Oswin's group Even though he is not in Kabul, he is the actual guard of Kabul. As a result, he will be beaten to the end even if he is held accountable.
Therefore, after Dadatu realized that he could not catch Asha Cheng to take the blame, he immediately tried to cover up his guilt and told Oswin about the incident first. After all, this matter had something to do with Oswin. Oswin led the wolf into the house. Of course, he could not say that. , you still need to admit your mistakes when you should, but you can’t take the blame alone, because you will die if you do.
Another one quickly went to Prince Qi and tried to find a way to get a batch of grain and grass from Peshawar to bear the crime, so as to avoid being really beaten to death. After all, as the deputy king, Qi had recently moved the capital, and the bureaucracy under the rule was somewhat lacking. It was to recruit talents. when.
Even before, the royal family of the Dayue clan issued an edict to recruit talented people. Although it was a bit high-profile, Vesutiva I in Qunu City understood it very well. The court was divided into two, and Peshawar, the century-old capital, was demoted. To accompany the capital, Guishang relocated its capital to Qunu City.
Of course, Peshawar, the former capital of the country, had to recruit some people, and it was understandable that it even extended its tentacles to the Northern Gui Vesestiva I. After all, he was already equivalent to a prince. It would be impossible to convince people without some political and military performance. It is said that as long as it does not exceed a certain bottom line, Vesudeva I's evaluation of Qi is that his ability is greater than his ambition.
After all, don’t think about making no mistakes at all when working. Only by not working can you make no mistakes at all. And it is understandable for a young man to take the initiative to do things and make mistakes, as long as the mistakes are still within the scope of recovery, It means cultivating.
Therefore, Dadatu had also received an invitation from the Dayue clan's royal family Qi before, but he did not directly agree at that time. He wanted to see the wind or something, but the wind hadn't come out yet, so he was buried in it first. Decisively ask Xun Qi to help.
Of course Xun Qi would not stop. He was pretending to be dead. After Chen Zhong launched a rebellion, Xun Qi was preparing to start a purge. This is good news. Even Archbishop Zoroastrian rebelled. The level involved in the case is very high, and the opportunity to sharpen the sword to the big boss has come.
This is an opportunity to backhand Zhu Helai. After all, even Xun Qi was surprised by Zhu Helai's plan. To be honest, even Xun Qi didn't expect that Zhu Helai could really pull it off based on the current situation. Ardashir's plan to take over Begui.
Even at this point, Xun Qi has understood that it is inevitable that Ardashir will take over Beigui. Unless Cao Cao kills Ardashir on the spot, it will be almost impossible to resist.
The problem is to kill an elite protected by the Miracle Legion on the battlefield. To be honest, Xun Qi is not optimistic at all. The only difference is how much Aldashir will lose.
This was also the time when Chen Zhong, after Cao Cao's defeat in the first stage, talked to Xun Qi about whether he should continue to burn grain. Xun Qi directly suggested that Chen Zhong continue.
Originally, Cao Cao failed in the first stage. In fact, the impact of whether Chen Zhong burned the grain and grass was not very big. At most, it can only be said to force Oswin to return to Kabul and prevent him from continuing to attack Kandahar. It cannot give Oswin a blow like when Cao Cao won a big victory before. A blow to the heart.
After all, the crazy food transportation problem before was equivalent to the time when food and grass were gathered in various basements. Kabul had already sent Oswin's food and grass down the river for ten or even twenty days. This food and grass was enough. Oswin retreated without being restrained by Cao Cao, not to mention that the Bolun Pass itself had prepared food and fodder for Ardashir's men.
Combining the two, burning food can at best contain Oswin's second-stage offensive, making Oswin unable to continue the decisive battle with Cao Cao. If you want to kill Oswin, you are thinking too much.
However, Xun Qi still suggested that Chen Zhong set fire to the food and grass in Kabul, because after Ardashir appeared here, Xun Qi had actually guessed what Vesutiva I was thinking, and had some luck with Cao Cao, hoping that Ardashir The situation is different when they come to help in the fight.
Xunqi, who had met Vesuthiva I many times, knew very well this person's courage in critical situations. This guy was very likely to move the entire North Guizhou area and move the people from the northern Guizhou mountainous area to the southern Guizhou area to strengthen his presence in the southern Guizhou area. noble rule, and then left the north and some of the remaining population to Ardashir.
In other words, in the eyes of Vesutiva I, what he left to Ardashir would be the mountain city of Bactra and the Kabul Valley, two important towns.
Needless to say, these two places, Bactla Mountain City, was the capital of Daxia. It is along the Amu Darya River and is also called Guishui. Incidentally, this is also the reason why the Chen family is determined to occupy this place. After all, Gui's surname is Chen. The source of the surname is Guishui. This place may not be blessed with good weather, but it does produce grain. There is no problem in being self-sufficient.
Needless to say, the Kabul Valley also produces grain. After all, places with rivers basically produce grain. In later generations, Kabul was the largest city in Afghanistan, with a population of more than four million. However, in this era, Beigui There is no way to farm here.
Because the climate here is quite strange, it is difficult to master how to farm. There is no problem in grazing in the river valley. If you are farming, if you are not lucky, you will make ends meet.
Fortunately, this side is a river valley, so the difficulty of transporting grain is not high. This side and the mountainous areas near Kandahar are almost the main areas for grain transportation in Beigui, because the cost and difficulty of transporting grain are relatively low.
Therefore, these two places will definitely be handed over to Ardashir on the order of Vesutiva I. This is the sincerity of Vesutiva I, and it is also the basis for Ardashir to stick to this place. Of course, if you want If Kandahar can be captured, then Ardashir is in these three places, which is absolutely foolproof. Even Cao Cao is basically impossible to capture it.
So after Xun Qi deduced this, he quickly understood that Chen Zhong must not delay any longer, because if he delays any longer, Ardashir will enter the Kabul Valley first, and then he will take over the mountain city of Bactla, which is Vesutiva. A lifetime of sincerity.
At that point, unless the Zoroastrians stayed in Beigui, they could only come to the Ganges River Basin in the south, and neither was a good choice.
In the case of the former, given Ardashir's current situation, he will definitely keep a close eye on Chen Zhong. Given Ardashir's situation, there will definitely be no results if Chen Zhong causes trouble under his nose.
Just like the Wei family and the Wu family wearing the skin of the Sullun family, it would be a joke to say that Ardashir had no idea at all, but at that time in the Caucasus, Ardashir was trapped in a corner and could not act randomly. He could only pretend I don't know anything.
But it's different now. As long as Aldashir is sure of Chen Zhong's situation, he will dare to take action. If nothing goes wrong, he will send Chen Zhong to Nangui. At that time, everything will be irreversible.
As for the latter, it is basically equivalent to Chen Zhong giving up all the previous efforts of the Chen family and handing over the mountain city of Bactla and a large area of fertile land in the Guishui River Basin.
Therefore, after Xun Qi made his speculation, he notified Chen Zhong immediately and let him make his own choice. Chen Zhong decisively jumped back and stabbed Oswin in the back before leaving, then rolled back to Bactra and prepared to defend Kabul. River Valley is prepared to fight Bactra very easily...
How should I put it? It is indeed very easy for Alexander to fight like this, but let alone Aldashir, who is not at his peak now. Even if he is at his peak, there is still a long way between him and Alexander. It will be up to you who is disgusted by then. Woolen cloth.
Therefore, after Xun Qi received Da Da Tu's plea, he pretended to be dead without saying a word, and quickly concocted all kinds of scandalous black materials. Of course, these black materials mainly came from Zhu He. By the way, these black materials were not fatal. The main thing I pray for is to leave an impression on Vesudeva I.
After all, he, Sima Zhang, and Chen Zhong concocted a big killer, which was material about the treason of the Yuezhi nobles in the north. This material was forwarded to Zhu Helai by Xun Qi, but Zhu Helai was at that time because of the general environment. I kept pressing it and it didn’t send.
Xun Qi had no intention of exposing these things. He didn't believe that Vesuthiva I had no sense at all. Some things, how should I put it, were thrown out early, which was the matter of three drinks of wine as a penalty. Vesudeva I relied heavily on Zhongzhu. He Lai, and Zhu He Lai's ability was so strong that Xun Qi and others did not dare to attack directly or indirectly.
Even if you want to bring down Zhu Helai, it is not enough to rely on the evidence given by others. It is only effective if Zhu Helai makes his own mistakes and allows Vesutiva I to obtain the evidence.
When the evidence finally came, Barak rebelled, and Beigui surrendered to the enemy on a large scale, Xunqi had submitted materials in the early stage, but was suppressed by Zhu He, and evidence of the treason of the Zoroastrian sect was also submitted, and was suppressed by Zhu He. He Lai was suppressed for some reasons, and there was also Fu Wode's dirty information, etc., ah, everyone is not a fool.
