Chapter 3802: Strategic thinking

Spy screening? If Xun Qi's head can be screened, then Vesudeva I will have to consider whether Zhu Helai is a rebel, the problem is even bigger, OK!

Therefore, during this time, Xun Qi was only doing ordinary work. He kept his eyes on this side and told Guishuang not to mess around. As for counterintelligence, Xun Qi was not worried at all. He is now at a higher level and just waits. Time to seize the opportunity to make Oswen his own.

Xun Qi has basically stopped doing other things. In fact, as long as he stays in Peshawar, he does nothing and maintains the current mode of operation of the two capital system. The bureaucrats who are left behind in Peshawar will follow The development of time automatically bites Qu Nv City.

For Xun Qi, his situation is naturally very good, so the main task recently is to contain the emotions of the bureaucrats in Peshawar, to save the anger of these bureaucrats, and wait to seize the opportunity to open a big city to Qu Nv City. A ruthless one.

Although Mahinde is very important, he did not come to Peshawar. Xun Qi paid attention to it for a while and determined that the other party was basically cold, so he didn't care about it. How could he have thought that Mahinde actually went to the mountain city of Bactria .

"Now that the soldiers have been trained and the materials are ready, the problem is what we eat, this batch of transportation, it can be said that Bhaktra has been hollowed out, and we cannot have such a large-scale transportation body. Measured." Fuward said with a sigh as he looked at Masinde.

Fuward gave up on camel riding. To be precise, he did not give up on camel riding, but gave up on camels. After all, camels are really a burden if you want to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The cavalry is basically a burden and can survive there. Horses are basically no more than 1.4 meters tall at the shoulders.

The bigger the horse is, the greater the demand for oxygen. In fact, the same is true for humans. The stronger the horse, the more oxygen it consumes. Of course, it can take time to adapt.

Favored also realized the advantages that initiative can bring under the reminder of Masinde. He actually knew very well that even if he brought 40,000 people to the Qinghai-Tibet, he would not be able to win the Han Dynasty, but the Qinghai-Tibet border The area is all within the Han Dynasty. In this way, one or two legions that can take the initiative to attack can contain dozens of times the strength of the Han army.

This is actually the way Tubo faced the Tang Dynasty. The native population of Tubo was only three to four million, and the so-called ruling population totaled ten million. In fact, it was more of a population that Tubo had only after the Anshi Rebellion collapsed into the mid-Tang Dynasty.

That’s right, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was in the middle stage. It is not a normal impression that the Tang dynasty was finished when the Anshi Rebellion ended. In fact, there are still one hundred and fifty years from the Anshi Rebellion to the demise of the Tang Dynasty. There is hardly any impression to people.

Many people even feel that the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the Song Dynasty should have been separated by hundreds of years. In fact, there were only 53 years between the fall of the Tang Dynasty and the addition of Emperor Taizu’s Huangpao. The Anshi Rebellion was only a mid-term shock to the Tang Dynasty. It's still far, far away.

As for why it feels that Tianbao disappeared after the Tang Dynasty, it is actually an outrageous impression. From the beginning of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was actually on the rise, whether it was external, economic, or cultural. Rise, and it is an explosive rise.

When Shimin faced Tubo, he defeated the other side, but was unable to make progress. The two sides formed a good nephew. When Li Zhi, Tubo began to jump wildly, relying on the terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, attacking the Tang and condescending, and fought against Dafeichuan. The battle of war and the battle of Qinghai can be said to be one of the few very tragic wars that were lost in the early Tang Dynasty.

Later, Li Zhi might also find that Tang Jun really couldn't make it, so he changed his mind, adjusted his tactics, and began to fight against Tubo in the Western Regions, and fought a series of Anxi battles, but the overall situation was still defensive.

Although the total strength of the Tubo side is far inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty, the initiative is in hand, and the long border line of the Tang Dynasty is found to be active and attacked. Li Zhi was hammered into strategic defense.

Later in the Wu Zetian period, I won't talk about it in the early days. Tubo's great advantage, Datang was hammered to the extent of abandoning the four towns of Anxi. This is also the reason why the history books say that Wu Zhao lost his power and insulted the country.

The problem lies later. In the second year of Wu Zhao’s ascension, the army arrived in Anxi, defeated Tubo, recovered the four towns of Anxi, and established Anxi Duhu Mansion. Wu Zhao began to counterattack, hit Qinghai, and then continued to see the saw until Tang Xiujing fought against Tubo. After six victories, the Tang Dynasty stood firm in Qinghai.

After that, I actually came to Xuanzong. What does Xuanzong say? This person needs to be divided into two stages, one for the brain and one for the other.

In the first half of Xuanzong, starting from the Battle of Wujie, he gradually gained the upper hand. When the Helong area in the back completely suppressed Tubo, Xuanzong moved directly to Qinghai to farm and beat Tubo to death.

Compared with the style of play in the Li Zhi and Wu Zhao periods, Xuanzong’s attitude is very clear. He has a lot of money, a lot of people, a lot of soldiers and generals, simple, comprehensive encirclement tactics, from Kashmir to the Western Regions, from the Western Regions to Longyou, from Longyou to Hequ, Central Asia from Afghanistan to Pakistan, full-scale war.

A series of wars such as the Battle of Wujie, the Battle of Shibao City, the Battle of Tang’s Attack on Xiaobolu, etc. Xuanzong stabbed Tubo from Central Asia across thousands of miles, cutting both Tubo and Central Asia, and won a full victory. Chao has thus reached its peak.

By this time, Xuanzong’s soldiers were all in the Yanbian area of ​​Qinghai-Tibet, and then there was no behind. This is how the state of Xuanzong was. When he was super god, he was super god, and when he was super ghost, he was super ghost. It was that simple. In this step, even if it was handed over to Li Zhi, who was relatively good at the previous ones, Li Zhi could blow the Tubo.

Unfortunately, there is no more behind, so there is no need to describe it, but from here you can also see how troublesome Tubo is after it has the ability to actively attack.

In fact, what Mahinde wants is not victory. What he wants is time. Wise men such as Zhuhe, Masinde, and Banjim have actually seen through the current route taken by Vesudeva I. Of course, they did not think this. There is a wrong way.

The unity of political power and religious power will rapidly increase national strength in a short period of time. As for short-term chaos, this is actually an inevitable process of reform. Therefore, the purpose of these people is very clear, which is to delay this period. Face the ancient empire of the Han Dynasty with the strength of the new empire.

Under this premise, Masinde suggested that Fuward sent troops to Qinghai to contain the forces of the Han Dynasty and buy time for Guishuang.

This time does not need to be too long. In Masinde's view, as long as Fuward successfully arrives in Qinghai-Tibet and can solve logistical problems in two or three years, then Fuward can hold hundreds of thousands of Han troops for the same amount of time. That's right. Masinde’s cognition is very clear: Qinghai-Tibet is not a problem of combat effectiveness, but a logistic problem.

However, this logistical problem cannot be solved, at least Mahind can't solve it.

On Bhaktra’s side, Fuward dispatched 40,000 available elites to allocate all the grain and grass logistics. As a result, after calculating the transportation loss, Fuward found that the grain and grass he prepared might not be used after he arrived in Yanbian, Qinghai-Tibet. Months.

You must know that this is Bhaktra, the capital of the ancient Great Xia Kingdom, and the important northern town of Guishuang. In the official history, it once provided Guishuang's 110,000 army with food and grass for a year-long battle.

But now there are more food and grass stocks, the scale of the dispatched troops is only 40,000, and the marching speed is faster. As a result, after walking on the plateau on the Qinghai-Tibet road, the food and grass are only enough for three months?

"This grain and grass can't be solved at all, okay." Fuward was a little confused, he didn't know where the grain and grass were consumed inexplicably, what's wrong?

"My suggestion is this. You use horses to transport them. Although horses eat more, they also transport more. As for the problem that Arabia can't get the plateau right away, kill it and make horse meat jerky when it arrives." He said indifferently.

"..." Fuward looked at Masinde, and Masinde also looked at Fuward.

"This will last one more month of food and grass. We went up for four months and we have no food and grass." Fuward pondered for a moment, and still agreed with Masinde's suggestion, but this is not enough. I can't support two after going up. In 1970, when he could only last for four months, the Han Dynasty only needed to mobilize troops to hold on, and after a period of delay, he died.

But in only four months, it was impossible for the Han room to change the center of gravity, and even as soon as he gave birth to this idea, he Fuward died, and he was still extremely aggrieved and died of no food.

"There is also an elephant dynasty over there, with about 400,000 people. The lamas I planted have already entered. After all, Nepal is the birthplace of Buddhism, and they also have small-scale connections with that side." De said calmly.

"400,000 people can raise a 40,000 army?" Fuward looked at Masinde and said with a sneer. You are afraid that you are joking. Raising soldiers ten to one is just a dream. Okay, poor soldiers should also consider reality.

"It won’t work for a long time, but in three to five years, it’s okay to fight for people’s livelihood. Besides, there may be more than 400,000 people there. Such a large territory is half the size of Guishuang. Maybe the population can be more. Some." Masinde shook his head and said, he is to buy time, not for follow-up development, so it can be supported.

"Do you have the distribution of the Xiangxiong Dynasty?" Fuward looked at Masinde and asked.

"Not complete, but when I go up, I can find their tribal chief. I arranged for Shule. The manpower on the Khotan side has already touched part of the Qinghai-Tibet tribe. They are quite wealthy." Masinde was quite confident, and Fu Ward nodded when he heard the words. If so, you can try.

Don’t look at the frustration of Fuward being beaten by Li, but in fact, Fuward’s camel rides can be ranked in the whole world. Therefore, he has the same attitude as the Han Dynasty, as long as Lao Tzu can find it. , Certainly can be cut to death.
