Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy!
Although Ma Chao has not learned the Thirty-Six Strategies, he still has a basic judgment on the situation at hand.
If 10,000 cavalrymen want to fight an enemy thirty times more numerous without any support, there is no need to discuss the possibility of victory. It is completely meaningless.
It can be understood straightforwardly. . . Die!
In particular, there are cavalry among these enemies. The Qin cavalry does not have any advantages in terms of arms.
After Dawan joins, it is very likely that the Qin cavalry will be crushed by their war horses.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.
This is no longer a battle situation that can be changed by the bravery of one person and one general.
Even if Ma Chao descends from heaven, can he still defeat an army of hundreds of thousands?
Even if Ma Chao is brave and invincible, what if he has 10,000 cavalry?
They can't all be invincible, right?
Not only is it not a sign of cowardice to suggest retreat, it is a wise move.
Preserving vitality is the most important thing at the moment.
However, Fazheng didn't think so and refused righteously.
If he went back in such a dejected manner, how could Fazheng have the face to meet Liu Zhang?
Being promoted to a high position and given high hopes, but in the end nothing was achieved?
The arrogance in Fa Zheng's heart did not allow him to recognize this result.
Instead of going back in disgrace and being accused of being a coward by everyone, it is better to fight to the death and die in the Western Regions.
Ma Changshan would not go back like this, but he didn't want to die in vain.
I thought that after surrendering to Liu Zhang, I could make great achievements and become famous.
How can you be willing to die in vain when you have not accomplished any merit?
Even Ma Chao, who has never studied culture, knows a truth.
Victory or defeat is standard issue!
A failure is nothing, and anyone's merits will be judged throughout his life.
Just when Ma Chao and Fazheng were in a stalemate, King Shache took the initiative to find them.
It turns out that after the Dawan Kingdom broke away from Guishang and attached itself to Kangju, it began to think about expansion.
Dayuan is surrounded by Kangju in the north, Kushan in the west, and Wusun in the east. These forces are far stronger than Dayuan.
Therefore, there is only one direction for expansion, and that is the southeast direction.
In the direction of Shule Kingdom and Shache Kingdom, it extends to the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain.
Relying on its strong military strength, the Dawan Kingdom had already issued an ultimatum to these small countries, allowing them to make a choice.
When the time comes, anyone who does not comply will be attacked by the Dawan Kingdom.
The most unlucky thing is Shule, which is the closest to Dawan.
According to King Yarkand's information, several small-scale battles broke out between Shule Kingdom and Dawan.
Shule is just a small country with only a few thousand soldiers and horses. If a bloody battle breaks out, it will definitely be destroyed.
Once Shule is destroyed, Yarkand will be the first to bear the brunt.
Subsequently, small countries such as Puli and Pishan around Yarkand, as well as slightly larger Khotan, Kumi, etc., will all be attacked by Dawan one after another.
For King Yarkand, the arrival of the Han army was simply a gift from heaven.
The well-deserved rain comes after a long drought, and the baby looks to its parents!
Due to the omnipotent image of the Han people during the Banchao period, King Shache felt that the thousands of cavalry in front of him were naturally invincible.
As long as Ma Chao and Fa Zheng are willing to help them, the countries in the Western Regions can still have peace.
Fazheng did not immediately agree to King Shache's request.
The war between Dawan and these small countries is of some benefit to them, but they also have to face the difficulties they are about to face.
Behind the Dayuan Kingdom are the three kingdoms of Kangju, Wusun and Qiuci.
Once the whereabouts of the Qin army are known, they will inevitably return to the army and a war will break out.
Since we are in the hinterland of the Western Region, it is very possible to mobilize the entire army to besiege.
This is equivalent to the number of enemies faced by the Qin army skyrocketing again!
The number is likely to reach hundreds of thousands!
Faced with the pursuit and interception of 60,000 enemy troops, Ma Chao and Fazheng had to flee to the desert, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops?
The scene immediately came to a standstill.
King Shache sighed upon seeing this, lamenting repeatedly that today is different from the past, and even mentioned the scene on the 36th of the Ban Chao period that shocked the Western Regions.
In fact, King Shache despised Ma Chao and Fazheng in front of him. With ten thousand cavalry, they were not as good as Ban Chao.
Just when Ma Chao was furious, Fazheng was suddenly awakened.
Ban Chao is very powerful, but he adopts the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal forces.
He had no soldiers or generals under his command, but he borrowed troops everywhere in the Western Region to unite small countries to fight.
Fa Zheng has always fallen into a misunderstanding, always thinking that he must face the complex situation in the Western Regions on his own.
Little did they know that these ten thousand people were a drop in the bucket for the Western Region.
After suddenly awakening, Fazheng immediately stopped Ma Chao with great joy, and immediately held more detailed discussions with King Shache.
After careful discussion, Fa Zheng successfully frightened King Shache and convinced him that these 10,000 cavalry were here to maintain peace in the Western Regions.
Similarly, Fazheng also told King Shache a fact.
At present, the situation in the Western Regions has undergone serious changes. Dayuan State, together with Kangju, Wusun, and Qiuci, has assembled an army of 400,000, preparing to completely bloodbath the Western Regions countries!
After hearing the news, King Shache was almost frightened to death!
Ten thousand troops would make his liver and gallbladder split, let alone four hundred thousand!
An army of 400,000 people rushed forward, enough to completely trample the Shache Kingdom into ashes!
Fa Zheng originally wanted King Shache to understand the critical situation, but he didn't expect to frighten him so much that he lost all fighting spirit!
With constant encouragement and persuasion, King Yarkand reluctantly regained his confidence.
Fa Zheng immediately put forward his own strategy.
Unite the countries!
Send a call to all countries in the area north of the Kunlun Mountains and south of the Congling River and Yuzhi River.
In the name of Ma Chao, the Pingbei general under the command of the Qin State of the Han Dynasty, and Fa Zheng, the military advisor of the Northern Army, the coalition forces of various countries were summoned to jointly deal with the unprecedented catastrophe in the Western Regions.
In order to exaggerate the enormity and urgency of the disaster, King Yarkand personally went to the surrounding ministries to complain, and sent his trusted followers to distant Khotan, Jingjue, Kumi and other countries.
The advice to the countries is very simple, only two sentences.
One sentence tells the current situation.
Dawan united with Kangju, Wusun, and Qiuci to overturn the pattern of the Western Regions.
One sentence is the solution to the crisis.
Duke Qin of the Han Dynasty sent an army of 10,000 to help the countries in the Western Regions cope with the disaster.
Countries that cooperate will be protected by the Governor of the Western Regions and can enjoy eternal peace.
Anyone who does not cooperate is regarded as an enemy and will be hated by the Governor of the Western Region.
Soon, the atmosphere of the decisive battle in the Western Region spread north of Kunlun Mountain.
The news of the war between Dawan and Shule is already a public fact, which further confirms the authenticity of this news.
Many countries, centered on Yarkand, began to panic.
Just ten days later, all countries agreed to send troops to assist and support the Han Dynasty in defeating the ambitions of Dawan and other countries.
Even Khotan, which had more than 20,000 soldiers, expressed support without hesitation.
For a time, countless armies began to gather in Shache Kingdom.
Even a lot of supplies and military rations were being transported like crazy.
The Lianheng strategy was formally formed under Fazheng's deployment.
