Chapter 6713 I am ready to take the blame

Shipbuilding is actually not a problem for Chen Xi now. Moreover, the structure of this type of troop transport ship is much simpler than that of a warship, and does not require special reinforcement. Even if there are some minor problems with production capacity, hundreds of ships can be produced in three years, and the existing ships can be modified and put together. The scale can still meet Li You's requirements.

But in terms of operation, how should I put it, some things can be done, but if you say it openly, it will be embarrassing for everyone.

"It's not unfeasible. Relatively speaking, this plan is more reliable than Zichuan's previous plan." Jia Xu said slowly from the side. There would be no problem in winning against the Kushans, but it would be very difficult to win to the extent of Chen Xi.

Comparing the power between the Han Dynasty and Kushan, no matter how big the gap was, it was not as big as that between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

When the Tang Dynasty fought against Goguryeo, the effort, manpower, and resources invested were almost the best in that era. Although the scale was not as large as Chen Xi's, the utilization rate of various resources was not inferior at all.

Taking into account those top commanders, such as Li Er, Li Jing, Li Ji and others, the hard power comparison between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo is definitely greater than the hard power comparison between the Han Dynasty and Kushan. What's more, the Tang Dynasty is much closer to Goguryeo than the Han Dynasty is to Kushan.

However, under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty was only able to defeat Goguryeo under the leadership of a powerful immortal like Li Er, but did not completely destroy it. Although it declined a lot because of this battle, it still lasted for more than 20 years before it was destroyed, and this was under the continuous suppression of the Tang Dynasty.

Jia Xu was not aware of the Tang Dynasty's destruction of Goguryeo, but as a truly mature and prudent man, Jia Xu was somewhat worried about Chen Xi's plan.

There is no problem with an army of three million. After more than ten years of continuous fighting, the middle and lower-level officers accumulated are no problem either. The top-level legion commanders and commanders have also been gradually trained over the years. By the time the personnel are allocated and a wave of integration is carried out, there will be no problem with all aspects of the military strength.

It can be said that just by deploying such a large main force, in Jia Xu's opinion, Chen Xi is worthy of being a god. What's more, such a large force does not mean warmongering for Chen Xi. At least in the short term, Chen Xi maintaining such a large force will not cause any impact on the country.

This is extremely terrifying. With such a large number of elite troops and such solid logistics, Jia Xu could not imagine who could face such an exaggerated opponent on the front battlefield. However, war is not just about the front battlefield.

Compared to Fa Zheng's entanglement with the Brahman civilization, Jia Xu had long realized that the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire was essentially a war between two civilizations, and that civilizations should either stay far away from each other and never have any contact with each other, or as long as they are close, they will either assimilate or be destroyed. It was obvious that the Han Dynasty could not assimilate the Brahmans, so the only way left was destruction.

Perhaps the Brahmins still have some sense of luck, but when Chen Xi's three million troops arrive, despair will rise among the Kushans, and their sense of luck will be completely eliminated.

Jia Xu only needed to think about what the Brahmins could do to survive at that time and he would know that the Kushan Empire was not a small country. Even now, it still had 30 million people under its rule. If a war on this scale was truly launched and the Han Dynasty was entangled on its own land, the Han Dynasty would lose even if it won.

This was also the issue that Jia Xu had suggested Chen Xi to think more about before, because three million troops were powerful, but three million troops might not necessarily achieve the results that Chen Xi wanted. The Kushan territory was there, and it was not a small country. If the other party did not seek victory, did not care about losses, and only sought to survive, then the Han Dynasty must demand a quick victory, and might not be able to achieve the desired results.

"The battle between the Brahmins and us is between two civilizations. The current decline is more due to the Brahmins' fluke mentality. Even though we have done a lot, the Brahmins are soft-hearted and accept all the rule. Now they still think that we are just negotiating conditions." Jia Xu turned his head to look at Chen Xi and said, "If we allow the Brahmins to surrender, the war will be over now."

If the Brahmins were allowed to surrender, there would be no need to fight at all. The Brahmins would sell out the Northern Gui and get a new father. The Brahmins have long been accustomed to it. Since more than a thousand years ago, the Brahmins have suffered several invasions. In the next thousand years, the Brahmins will suffer several invasions. Every time the Brahmins knelt, but except for the British who barely escaped, the Brahmins won the others in the end by relying on the system, and absorbed the invaders into their own civilization and turned them into firewood.

Chen Xi knew this, so he did not accept the private peace talks with the Brahmins. Even if the Han family could withstand this, the problem of the spread of the poison would be a headache for Chen Xi. So they had to be destroyed. On the contrary, the Han Dynasty had always been willing to accept the Northern Gui. Unfortunately, the Northern Gui who were willing to surrender had already surrendered, and those who were unwilling were really prepared to fight with the Han Dynasty, and let the Han Dynasty deal with them if they lost.

In this way, the only way left for the Han Dynasty to conquer Kushan was to fight.

"The Brahmins have no limits, so when the time comes, no one can guarantee what they will do." Jia Xu said expressionlessly, "The incident with the blacksmith is enough to show that the Brahmins' organizational ability is not bad, it's just a matter of whether they are willing to use it."

When the British collected taxes in India, they were unable to do so to the same extent as the Brahmins. This is enough to show that the Brahmins still have some level of social penetration and organizational ability, but this ability is also subject to special constraints. But when it comes to life and death, who cares about constraints? Just survive first.

"Regular soldiers, I believe that you, Chen Zichuan, are absolutely invincible. With three million main forces, I also believe that you can handle the logistics, weapons and equipment, and the backbone of the legion. I also believe that you command a main force of such a scale. Even if Oswald comes in person, you can easily crush the opponent. But the question is, will Oswald fight you head-on?" Jia Xu looked calm and stated the facts. At their level, there was no need to beat around the bush and just say what they had to say.

Just like the Soviet-German War, the German army advanced rapidly and had extremely impressive combat effectiveness, but was ultimately defeated by the Soviet Union's climate and sea of ​​people. Of course, the most important thing was the size of the Soviet Union's territory. Even if the German army had the idea, it would be impossible for them to annex the Soviet Union in a short period of time. Even just swallowing up Eastern Europe was not something the German army could do.

"So I suggest implementing Wenru's tactics." Jia Xu directly agreed with Li You's plan. As for whether it was tainted or not, we were all family here. He said this, and once we leave this door, it would be Li You who said this. When the time comes to really implement it, it would be the plan recommended by Li You and approved by everyone. I'm just one of the voters.

"This is the most effective plan. Zichuan, let me say something unpleasant. I have wanted to say it before, but I never had the courage to say it." Guo Jia was silent for a while, then spoke.

"Tell me, what do you want to say?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"When you do certain things, you seem to be overdoing it, especially in the military. The purpose of the shield guards back then was to rely on their strong defense to force the Kushans to switch from conventional armies to offensive armies that could break through the shield guards' defenses, and then we would use Changshui to blow up the opponents." Guo Jia sighed and said, "As a result, your shield guards' overly solid defense forced the Kushans to take a defensive route. We actually talked about this during this period, and in the end you continued this route."

This can actually be changed, but Chen Xi gave up on changing it. Powerful defense? No, superb defense! Force the opponent to become an offensive army to break the defense? No, I will directly make the opponent realize that attacking is useless and they can only focus on defense!

In fact, the shield guard is very easy to adjust, and it is also very simple to achieve that plan, but Chen Xi had no idea of ​​changing it at all.

Similarly, with the three million troops this time, what can I say? If the Han Dynasty had a main force of 800,000 to 1 million, the Kushans would have probably concentrated their main forces to fight a few battles with the Han Dynasty after careful consideration, rather than directly giving up a large amount of territory and trading space for time with the Han Dynasty, saving people and losing land.

But Chen Xi had a well-organized army of three million, and from top to bottom, they were the main forces that could stand up to scrutiny. Even if they were a little weaker than the Ganges Legion before, they were undoubtedly the backbone of the main forces that could fight the Empire War. The Kushans were not stupid. The Han Dynasty's main forces of more than 200,000 could suppress them. Now the main forces of three million...

Do the Kushans dare to fight head-on? If Guo Jia were in the Kushan situation, he would give in if he could and avoid it if he could. He would fight the Han Dynasty. If he rushed forward, he would really die.

Honestly, it was too much effort.

"A million-strong army cannot guarantee victory. Even if it wins, it will be difficult to completely eliminate the Kushans. I have calculated that to completely wipe out the Kushans, at least this many troops are needed. The State of Chu alone needs an army of 600,000. Three million is not a lot to destroy the Kushans." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

Chen Xi also knew that what Guo Jia said was actually correct, but overdoing it could reduce losses. Some strategies sounded really good, but when they were implemented, the losses were actually quite large. If he continued with his own strategy, he might not be able to achieve the same results as the previous one. In this case, Chen Xi naturally continued with his own strategy.

"It's not that I think your judgment is wrong." Guo Jia said with a slight headache, "I just think that when you took action, the threat posed to Kushan was too great. War should be launched when the opponent is most careless and your advantage is the greatest, and your opponent will never be careless."

While other people are still playing strategic deception or something, Chen Xi's method is simple. I will just tell you directly that I am that strong. My outrageous strength will directly shake the opponent's determination.

Although this is also a good idea, the Kushans have become accustomed to it - the Han Dynasty is too powerful, and if they can't defeat it, they can just think of other ways to delay it first, and there is no need to fight head-on.

This is almost becoming a dependent path, after all, it is really unbeatable.

"Then what do you think we should do? If we have fewer people, it's the same whether we win or not. If we have more people, the Kushans can rely on the terrain to trade space for time and delay our logistics." Chen Xi looked at everyone present expressionlessly and asked, "Wenru's plan is indeed very good, but capturing prisoners also requires manpower, and it is very likely that we will expose some unnecessary flaws."

"Just capture the people along the Ganges." Li You said with disdain, "The main cities and population centers in Nangui are basically along the Ganges. We just capture them along the Ganges, send them to the Ganges, load them onto ships and send them away. When we get downstream, we switch to seagoing ships, load them up and ship them out."

"We don't count on the Han family for war, but they can do this kind of thing very well." Li You sneered, "As for the losses caused by migration, I have amazing control over this aspect, and the Han family is also proficient in this. Although there will be some difficulties if we really want to raise tens of millions, we can still overcome the difficulties."

"Besides, haven't you thought about this problem?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked.

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Xi. Chen Xi glanced at Li You and said, "My original plan was to relocate the population after the war. Relocating people during the war and relocating people after the war are two different things. The accidental damage of the former and the accidental damage of the latter are two different things."

"But the latter can effectively reduce our losses and successfully wipe out the Kushan Empire. I think there are no major problems with many of your methods, but when it comes to dealing with the Kushan Empire, I think my plan is more reliable." Li You said calmly, "Just like Feng Xiao said, when you attack, you always use too much force, so much so that your opponent is unlikely to deal with you in a normal way."

"Although I don't know what unknown means you have, it is basically nothing more than that when Oswald attacks a certain assisting legion, you can obtain relevant intelligence in advance, and then mobilize other legions to help, and then combine two or three nearby legions to have the strength to directly confront Oswald, or even defeat Oswald." When Li You said this, he was staring at Chen Xi's face, and Chen Xi's expression did not change. Li You was roughly confident that Chen Xi had indeed solved some command problems.

"This is Wenhe's serious idea, but it is only a possibility, a reasonable inference. The current situation is unreasonable. If you really send three million troops there, Oswald may directly shrink and retreat to the Deccan Plateau, and then delay time with us." Li You said solemnly.

"It takes time to dispatch three million troops, and once the deployment begins, the Kushans will receive the news soon. After all, such a movement cannot be concealed. Even if the exact scale cannot be determined, at least we know that it must be more than one million. We also know that this is the main force to destroy the country. What will the Kushans do then?" Fa Zheng also echoed the words of Jia Xu and others.

It's not that they are dissatisfied with Chen Xi, but they feel that Chen Xi despises Kushan. To be honest, if Chen Xi just wants to defeat Kushan, the force prepared now is enough. But if he wants to completely destroy Kushan and occupy it, Jia Xu and others are somewhat pessimistic. After all, Kushan is not a complete waste.

"We are not afraid of fighting the Kushans. Even with our current strength, we can win if Rome and the Kushans join forces. But now the problem is, what should we do if they don't fight us? The Kushans are already building bunkers, mounds, trenches, and tunnels everywhere. They have never stopped building all kinds of fortifications from Palayagata to Kusumu City." Fa Zheng sighed and said, "The enemy doesn't fight us head-on, but relies on these things to delay time. What can we do?"

"There is only one year left, and the Kushans keep dragging out the time. How much can we occupy? A million square kilometers? It is indeed impressive, but it cannot solve the problem." Fa Zheng was somewhat helpless. There was a fatal problem in the war between the Han and the Kushans. The Han wanted to unite the Kushans and then wipe them out in one fell swoop, but the Kushans dispersed on their own and did not give the Han any chance to unite.

The super-model cloud gas plus various small-scale harassment and delay, the surrender of territory, and the exchange of space for time. To be honest, the Han Dynasty is bound to win, but it will not be the result that Chen Xi wants.

More importantly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that if three million troops were really used to fight against Kushan in the 13th year of Yuanfeng, and Kushan was not completely defeated, then even if a war was started later, it would not be possible to continue with the goal of destroying the country, and the war would only continue.

Even within the Han Dynasty, there will be great resistance to overthrowing the Kushan Empire, because if they continue to eat up the Kushan Empire, the Han Dynasty will not be able to make ends meet. Now it is actually Liu Bei's forces that are eating up the Kushan Empire. These issues all need to be considered.

If you think about it more deeply, the dispatch of three million troops is a gamble that Chen Xi is making with his own reputation, an explanation to his officers, and the fulfillment of the promise he made. If this wave of troops is defeated and the problem is not resolved, it will be difficult for Chen Xi to mobilize an army of this size again.

"Zichuan, if you want to win the result you want, don't restrict yourself too much in this matter. Morality is important, but morality is not used to deal with barbarians." Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi with a serious expression. Even Chen Xi could see the seriousness in his eyes.

"You are a moral gentleman. This kind of thing is not suitable for you to do. Let me do it when the time comes. I have experience in this kind of thing. Besides, Li Zhiran and the others will be back by then. Let them do this. They have sufficient experience and efficiency. After they are done, I will share the blame with them and take away their county titles to atone for their crimes." Li You said it bluntly. It was completely conscienceless, but it made a lot of sense.

After all, the Yuan family and Rome have also ceased fighting, and the main force supporting the Yuan family should be back, and they will definitely participate in the final battle at that time. The three idiots, a super genius in migrating population, are very suitable to do this. Moreover, after it is done, the titles of these three brothers are enough to cover the crime. They should quickly throw away the extorted county marquis and get ashore completely!
I'm running away. I have no intention of working now. I just want to celebrate the birthday of my motherland.
