Yelu Dashi tried to unite the forces of various countries in the Western Region, but instead of succeeding, he actually suffered his own consequences, causing other countries in the Western Region to join forces to deal with this news. This news did not escape Su Dingfang's ears.
After hearing this news, Su Dingfang gave up his plan to continue the attack. Even among the tens of thousands of troops coming from the rear, he only selected 7,000 more elite ones to come, and the rest We went back the way we came.
When attacking the Western Region, if possible, the fewer people the better, and the fewer troops dispatched in the end the better. After all, fighting in this environment puts too much pressure on logistics. After the number of troops decreases, the logistical pressure will decrease accordingly.
The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city. Fighting is never the final means to achieve victory; strategy is the most important thing for a general. Instead of working hard to defeat him, Su Dingfang felt that it would be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, contribute to the conflict between the two parties, and in the end, he would benefit.
Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, he cannot have too many troops in his hands. Otherwise, if tens of thousands of troops arrive, how can the two tigers fight first in the presence of another tiger? stand up?
And his initial 3,000 troops and horses, plus these 7,000 troops and horses, a total of 10,000 troops and horses, this number can be said to be too much, and it will not cause too much fear among the countries in the Western Region, but it can be said that it is too small, but it is definitely not a lot. If the opportunity comes, these 10,000 troops can already do a lot of things.
Although ten thousand troops may not seem like much, it depends on whose hands it is placed. In the hands of a famous general, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will be able to get a good harvest in the end.
Nowadays, although the countries in the Western Region have joined forces to jointly put pressure on Yelu Dashi, after all, the two sides are not fighting each other. What Su Dingfang needs to do next is to completely let the two sides meet each other, or even fight each other. Come on, dog brain.
However, he is not good at this aspect. After all, he is a commander, not a professional counselor. However, although he is not good at it, he has many capable people under him. Talents such as Wei Yang, Wang Shouren, Zhang Gun, Yu Yixian, Wei Shu, Wu Ya, Ji Leizhen, and Pang Tong who emerged from the previous imperial examinations are all under his command now. 's subordinates.
Among these people, Wei Yang, Wang Shouren, and Zhang Gun can all serve as counselors. And with these people working together, how could the kings of the Western Regions see through their plans? Therefore, their anger towards Yelu Dashi was completely aroused, and they eventually formed an alliance to jointly deal with Yelu Dashi.
Of course, it was only a war between the countries in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions countries further west such as Kangju, Dayuan, Dayuezhi, and Wusun did not intervene.
The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are all small countries. Compared with these countries, countries such as Kangju, Dayuan, Dayuezhi, and Wusun are much stronger. Each country can draw tens of thousands of troops.
The battle between the Western Region Alliance and Yelu Dashi lasted for a full year. In the end, although Yelu boldly designed to cause internal strife among the countries in the Western Regions, he finally won, but in this battle , he also suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, both sides of this war are actually neither winners nor losers. Only Su Dingfang is the final winner.
Alliances have always been unreliable. Nearly twenty countries in the Western Region are directly forming alliances, which means there are nearly 20 voices in this alliance. How can such a chaotic alliance have any stability? ?
Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Yelu Dashi provoked an internal fight between them. On the contrary, it should be reasonable.
However, although the Western Region Alliance was defeated, Yelu Dashi also suffered heavy losses in this battle. However, Su Dingfang was still in no hurry to take action at this time.
After all, Su Dingfang discovered that even when Yelu Dashi fought against the Western Alliance, he still did not relax his vigilance against the Jin army at all, but instead intensified his vigilance. It is precisely because of this that the battle against Yelu Dashi was so difficult.
This is not an easy enemy to deal with. So, under Wei Yang's suggestion, after sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, Su Dingfang was ready to start killing people again with a borrowed knife.
After a big battle, although Yelu Dashi defeated the enemy, he was not happy at all about the victory. Because his real enemies have never been those small countries in the Western Regions.
In Yelu Dashi's view, those people are just dying people who sit in a well and look at the sky. They are short-sighted and don't know the height of the sky. These people are not even qualified to be his opponents.
If the Jin army had not appeared, it would have taken at most a few more years. Yelu Dashi was confident that these people would be his defeated generals, and everything about these people would be plundered by him.
However, after a battle with these Western Region alliances, he suffered heavy losses. Yelu Dashi thought that the Jin army would launch an attack on him at this time, or on those Western Region countries.
However, the next development of things was completely beyond his expectation. Not only did the Jin army not attack him, but they also did not attack those small countries in the Western Regions during the Yelu War. It was as if they had entered the time of the sages and were not disturbed by external affairs at all.
At the beginning, Yelu Dashi could still endure it and was still careful about possible moves of the Jin army at any time. However, as the Jin army continued to be so stable, Yelu Dashi couldn't bear it anymore and began to extend his sinful claws towards the small countries in the Western Regions that he had defeated.
In the previous battle, he defeated the coalition forces of the Western Region countries, but if it was limited to this, he would naturally suffer heavy losses. But if he can take advantage of this victory to continue to annex the other party, it will not only make up for his losses, but also have the opportunity to make him stronger.
Although he suffered heavy losses in the war, this kind of thing is always a two-way matter. If he suffered losses, the enemy would naturally suffer losses as well. Not to mention that he is the victor in this war. His losses are huge, and the enemy's losses will only be greater than his, and they are still much greater than his.
Therefore, as long as we can take the opportunity to annex them, the previous war will definitely be worth it.
Moreover, he must become stronger before he can confidently deal with the threat of the Jin army. Since the Jin army did not take action at this time, he would take advantage of this moment to take action.
However, Yelu Dashi couldn't bear it anymore and took action, but he happened to fall into Wei Yang's plan...
