To be honest, Kou Jun was still working hard to wipe out the remnants of the Dalit-Chola dynasty in the first two years, but in the past two years, he has completely stabilized the country and can even mobilize the young people in Kunwu on a large scale. The most important point is The remnants of Dalit-Chula are gone.
This is not because they were wiped out by Kou Jun. During the process of Kou Jun's annihilation, those Dalits realized that Kou Jun was not annihilating them because they were Dalits, but because they did not surrender to him, which led to the dissatisfaction in the country. Stable, so we are destroying them.
Coupled with the fact that those Dalits who have surrendered to Kou Jun prove that Kou Jun actually has no ill feelings towards Dalits, nor does he have any contempt. After surviving the early confrontational cause of the comeback of the upper castes, Zhu Luo The Dalits of the dynasty defected to Kou Jun.
Because the Dalit-Cholas were essentially a failure. Guo Si could fight, was good at training troops, and could lead the Dalits to conquer the Chola dynasty. But conquering the world and conquering the world are two different things. The former requires force, while the latter requires It's internal affairs.
Guo Si's own internal affairs were unqualified, and Dalit's internal affairs were even more unqualified. In this case, the operation collapsed without even a chance for trial and error.
After all, it is different from those like Perna who run a village of a thousand people. The cost of trial and error in the latter is not high and will not cause too much turmoil. But a kingdom with millions of people is used to try and make mistakes. After that, you can't change it even if you want to.
After Kou Jun took over, no matter what his thoughts were, at least he was really running the country.
Some things that are shouted loudly may not mean that they are implemented in practice. Because Kou Jun has clear goals and knows what he wants to do, he is really running the country, implementing the policies as much as possible, and managing the country in depth. Only In this way, he can realize his dream of counterattacking Guishang, so Kou Jun's behavior can be more recognized.
It can be said that the Dalit-Chola dynasty was not conquered by Kou Jun simply by force. Conquering the city of Thanjavur by force was more like an opportunity. After this opportunity, he relied on other means to spread the word later. certain premise.
Similarly, it is not that the Dalits in Chola did not have the strength to resist Kou Jun. If the upper caste counterattack they had originally thought of had failed, Kou Jun would probably still be in the quagmire even now. Even if he is commanded by a large army, facing hundreds of thousands The opponent who is brave enough to face the enemy with a spear in hand is also very big. Command is very important, but the soldiers who dare to fight to the death are also important.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Kou Jun can say that to Katana. It’s not that Kou Jun doesn’t know the situation of Dalits. On the contrary, he actually knows it very well, but there are some things that don’t need to be said, just do them. , but facing Katana, he must refute. He needs to fight for such a force. Facing Kushan, the current Kunwu country is too weak.
After hearing what Kou Jun said, Katana wanted to refute, but as a strong man who has realized the nature of Brahmin society and voluntarily turned into a torch to light the way for those who came after him, Katana actually knew the meaning of Kou Jun's words very well. .
That's why Katana did not refute Kou Jun's words after thinking for a moment, but instead said, "Regardless of other things, what you said is okay, but this should be said by the Dalits who will come later, not You tell me."
Kou Jun was silent for a while, and Katana's answer left him unable to argue.
"But I have received your belief. I will strengthen contact with your Kunwu to a certain extent, and I am also willing to help you contact other tribes." Katana gave Kou Jun a positive reply, and Kou Jun My mood improved a lot.
Apart from anything else, the most important thing about wasting so much breath before was that he needed the power of these people. Although it is not the best result now, it is at least a better result.
With this answer, Kou Jun felt a lot more at ease. It was not in vain that he wasted so much saliva here. Friendships and other things can't be built up little by little. If you want to build a strong opponent, you have to accumulate it little by little.
Without the previous conflict of positions, the relationship between the two parties has progressed rapidly. In the following days, Kou Jun once again sent people to contact Katana, not only to show his own strength, but also to show his attitude towards Dalits. The two sides reached an agreement. Quite a few agreements.
until……
"What?" Katana grabbed the messenger sent by the Dalit settlement near Qunu City in the north. "What are you talking about?"
"The king has returned and is preparing to attack Qunu City." The messenger replied loudly.
"Who asked you to fake the king's orders!" Katana angrily grabbed the messenger by the collar and roared, but the other person was not panicked at all. He had experienced too many such things along the way, and almost no village leader Believe this fact, but believe it or not, after the messenger finished speaking, they all took the men on their way.
The messenger can understand that mentality - the news may be false, but even if it is false news, it is worth my dispatch. It is best for the king to be alive. If I go and the king is not here, then whoever falsely conveys the king's orders will be punished. I'll go down and accompany the king!
That's right, the village chiefs of these Dalit villages all hold this idea. The late king's status in their hearts is supreme. Anyone who dares to joke about this should die!
"There is no false message from the king. The head of our village is Perna. He has already met the king, so he informed everyone that the king is going to attack Qunu City." The person who sent the message was used to this kind of being dragged by his clothes. Communicate calmly with Katana.
Katana saw that the other party looked calm. Even if his reason told him that it was most likely false, his sensibility still hoped that all this was true. In addition, after all, Katana knew some military strategies, and he knew very well that Qunu City was under the Brahman religion. position in.
If the Dalits follow the king and conquer the city of Qunv in one go, they will be more effective in attracting Dalits than conquering Thanjavur, the capital of the Chola king. For most Dalits, the latter is just a remote town. , don’t even know where.
But Qunu City is different. If Qunu City is captured by Dalits, for the Dalits, not only will they completely defeat the thief in their hearts, but at least it will be equivalent to defeating most of them.
"Whether you are the king or not, there should be no problem with this idea. Conquering Qunv City is indeed the best solution at present to solve the thief in your heart." Katana threw the messenger away and began to think about this possibility silently.
Although none of them had thought of attacking Qunu City before, now that it was brought up, these Dalit village chiefs who had returned from Chola and had realized the thief in their hearts, actually understood that this was definitely the best way to eliminate it. The methods of the thief in the heart.
But the problem is here, Qunu City has always been standing there, can they defeat it? It is impossible to defeat them. In fact, I can honestly say that although the village chiefs of these Dalit settlements have gathered hundreds of thousands of Dalits, if we turn back time, they cannot even conquer Thanjavur, the capital of the Chola king. No, this is why Guo Bang is called the king.
It was really something that others couldn't do, and without a heroic figure to lead it, it was simply a joke to conquer Qunu City. The city was high and the city was deep. It was no joke.
[But even so, I still have to go. Take away five or six hundred village guards from the villages I manage, and march in five or six routes. Whether it is marching speed or other things, it is faster. 】Katana quickly made up his mind that he must go.
Katana's sudden mobilization of manpower was quickly noticed by Kou Jun. Kou Jun didn't have any sense of urgency about this. He was not worried about the other party attacking him at all, but he was somewhat curious about what happened, so he sent someone Went to inquire.
In the face of Kou Jun's inquiry, Katana just blurred the king's news and only mentioned that someone on their side was organizing to attack Qunu City. He felt that Qunu City, as the capital of the king, even if it could not be defeated, would cause chaos in the world. , it can also bring together more Dalits, so be prepared to participate or something.
In fact, what Katana said was to tease Kou Jun. After all, the main force under Kou Jun also included many Dalits, who were qualified to participate in this matter. Katana said this because he actually wanted to test Kou Jun. Jun's true thoughts.
However, after Kou Jun received the reply, he directly called Deng Zhi and Han Ji. For Kou Jun, all his current actions were actually centered around making Guishang feel pain.
Under this premise, when attacking Qunu City, without considering the question of whether it can be defeated, and only considering how much impact a Dalit attack on Qunu City on such a scale would have on Kushan, Kou Jun would not hesitate. of participation.
This was once the core area of Brahmanism, and now it is the royal capital of Kushan. Once it is attacked, it will definitely be a earthquake.
Even if the Southern Gui and the Northern Gui complete peace talks and release a large number of middle and lower-level people from the Northern Gui to enter the management of the South, in this case there will no longer be the situation where Guan Yu goes to the northern foot of the Himalayas to attack Peshawar, causing chaos in the Kushan world and all the heroes. Condition.
But at the very least, it is equivalent to the bells in the morning and the drums in the evening, awakening the resistance of the millions, maybe even two million Dalits that Kushan has not yet managed.
When the time comes, Guishuang will inevitably be in chaos for a while, and the situation that was finally unified before will definitely be turbulent. Once turmoil occurs, Kou Jun's opportunity will come.
Therefore, in the face of what Katana said, Kou Jun had already made up his mind to participate before Deng Zhi and Han Ji arrived.
"What, you want to attack Qunu City?" When Han Ji came to Kou Jun's residence in the fortress, his voice rose an octave when he heard Kou Jun's words?
"Do you know where that place is? Do you know how far we are from Qunu City? Do you know that if you go there like this, you might not be able to come back!" Han Ji asked a bunch of questions loudly. , Kou Jun was quite embarrassed.
"This is an opportunity." Kou Jun informed Han Jie of the information he obtained from Katana, and Han Jie frowned upon hearing this.
Han Ji can trust Katana's behavior and character. Even if such a person is placed in the Central Plains, he can be regarded as a person with lofty ideals. Being trustworthy with the other party's behavior and character does not mean trusting the other party's ability. You can't just because Believing in the other person's morality means believing in the other person's ability. These are two different things!
For Han Ji, there are many people in the world who are talented but not virtuous, and who are virtuous but not talented.
The Dalits want to attack Qunu City. Even if Vesutiva I leaves with the main force now, it is not something you can defeat if you want to.
More importantly, are there any famous Dalit generals? If an unknown general takes 40,000 to 50,000 people to attack Qunu City, isn't that asking for death?
"I don't agree either." Deng Zhi also rushed over at this time. He had been building the defensive buildings of the fortress. He also thought that it was meaningful as a permanent bridgehead, but when he came over, he heard Kou Jun say that he wanted to attack Qu Nu City, isn’t this looking for death?
In Deng Zhi's view, the ideal of counterattacking Kushan is correct, but considering the actual situation, one still has to eat one bite at a time. First, stabilize this bridgehead, and then talk about counterattack.
"I never thought about conquering Qunv City." Kou Jun said with a wry smile, "Don't you think I'm superior? Although I conquered the Chola capital in one go, I still know how much I weigh. Yes, Dalits have a lot of manpower, but if they really want to attack Qunu City, how many troops can they use?"
As a commander of a large army with a standard academic background, Kou Jun can make basic judgments on many things just by going through them in his mind.
It is true that Dalits have 500,000, so we can calculate the time point to besiege Qunu City, the troops that can be mobilized, the time of arrival, as well as the logistics of food and grass, etc.
I won’t mention issues such as orders and who will be in command. I will only talk about the simplest point, that is, how many troops can be mobilized. According to Kou Jun’s estimate, there can be more troops close to Qunu City. Here, a village may be A maximum of one hundred people.
It’s not that I don’t want to send out more, but I don’t have enough time. The more young and strong people are sent out, the more food and logistics will be needed. The marching speed will be further slowed down, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to catch up by then. Therefore, there are seven or eight soldiers on Katana’s side. Only 500 people came out of the village. It's not that Katana was talking big and made small efforts, but realistically speaking, it would be too late for more.
Based on this, Kou Jun estimates that the number of people who finally arrived may only be about 50,000.
Can 50,000 people conquer Qunu City?
Maybe someone can take it down, but it's definitely not him, Kou Jun, and it won't be someone among the Dalits. Qunu City is the royal capital after all, not to mention the regular army. There are definitely not a few private soldiers who can climb the city wall. In this case, Dalits will never be defeated.
Although Kou Jun estimates that the Han Dynasty may have some ideas, based on Kou Jun's understanding of the situation of the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that in the end it will be a trick to lure the enemy. As for the capture of Qunu City, Kou Jun is not optimistic about it, but it does not mean that he is not optimistic about it. Kou Jun doesn't dare to do it!
"If nothing else, as a king recognized by these Dalits, they want to liberate their brothers. I can at least contribute a little, no problem!" Kou Jun said, looking at the two of them seriously.
