Chapter 4335: reopening of the western front

Chen Xi glanced at Zhen Yao's expression, and knew that Zhen Yao's thinking was wrong, so he said, "It's not as bad as you think, Meng Qi's character is not that bad."

"But just thinking about it might make us not panic." Zhen Yao said with some hesitation, wiping off his sweat.

"Kandahar is not a good place either." Seeing that Zhen Yao had strangled Midea in his heart, Chen Xi began to explain the situation in Kandahar.

"No matter how bad Kandahar is, at least it won't be life-threatening." Zhen Yao sighed, "Not to mention anything else, this is always okay."

"That's true. The place of Kandahar, among other things, there is no problem with the safety of life. It is even specially reinforced to accumulate food and grass. It is definitely one of the easiest places in the world to defend." Chen Xi nodded and said, Kandahar There are many disadvantages, but the location is real.

"Since this is the case, please don't talk about the shortcomings of Zi Chuan. I am not strong-willed. Zi Chuan said that I am afraid that I will inevitably look forward and backward." After listening to Chen Xi's explanation, Zhen Yao directly interrupted what Chen Xi might say in the future. .

Chen Xi looked at Zhen Yao and nodded slightly, "The Zhen family has indeed picked a suitable person."

"No, I'm just not determined. I'm afraid that after listening to what you said, I will weigh and think, hesitate, and in the end it will be difficult to make a decision." Zhen Yao sighed, "I'm not as wise as Zi Chuan, and my determination is not as good as Zichuan's." It's not as good as Zi Chuan, it's better not to choose."

"Okay, then you should be prepared to support Cao Zixiu with money, supplies, and food. The upcoming war in Kandahar will be difficult for Cao Zixiu to win." Chen Xi saw the firmness in Zhen Yao's eyes. color, couldn't help but smiled and said.

"Money, food and supplies are not a problem for us." Zhen Yao got up and saluted Chen Xi, since he had made up his mind, he should stop thinking about it.

After sending Zhen Yao away, Chen Xi stood in the courtyard and thought. Even he had to admit that Cao Ang's move was really excellent. But only Cao Ang can do this.

"Husband." Zhen Mi hugged Chen Xi from behind, pressed her close, and called out in a low voice.

"Well, Mi'er." Chen Xi turned around and hugged the shy Zhen Mi.

In Kandahar, after Cao Ang took off his filial obedience, he regented as the son of the eldest son. The backbone of Cao Cao's power has been lost a lot recently, but at least, with the arrival of supplies, the most difficult period has passed, and the death of his mother and younger brother also Let Cao Ang fully mature.

Originally, when parents died in ancient times, it was necessary to observe filial piety for three years, even if it was three years during the Three Kingdoms period, it actually refers to the first year of parents' death, and the complete second year, until the end of the first month of the third year, but now Cao Ang In the current situation, even three years for this version is not realistic.

Ardashir has already shown some intentions to take the initiative to attack. Under such circumstances, it is simply unrealistic for Cao Ang to keep his filial piety.

"How did the Zhen family reply?" Cao Ang couldn't hide the gloom between his eyebrows, but he still asked Xun or the others as calmly as possible.

"The transaction has been agreed." Xun Yu said with a low eyebrow.

"When they come, we will carry out the delivery." Cao Ang said in a low voice.

After this sentence was finished, the field fell into silence. There was no way, after such a delivery, what was left of Cao Cao's forces was a big problem.

"Take stock of all our resources and prepare for a decisive battle." Cao Ang said with a sigh, "It's unrealistic to return to Herat, accept the employment of the Zhen family, and it's even more unrealistic to fight here in Kandahar. We don't have many choices. gone."

All the generals under Cao's command fell silent, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Pound, Zhang Xiu, Li Dian and other generals with foreign surnames who followed Cao Cao in the early years were even more silent.

After all, in the current situation, if you really want to say that these people have nothing to complain about Cao Cao, that would be a lie. If you just give up like this, then all the years of investment before are in vain.

"Ardashir is not easy to fight. Kabul is as easy to defend as Kandahar, and after I left, Oswin also carried out a lot of construction in Kabul. It is unrealistic to win Kabul in one go. .” As a general of Beigui and Cao Cao’s son-in-law, Barak has always kept a low profile and basically has no sense of presence, but now he has to stand up.

Princess Qinghe, Cao Ang, and Cao Shuo were all born to Mrs. Liu. After Mrs. Liu died, the three of them were brought up by Mrs. Ding. It can be said that Mrs. Ding has nurtured the three of them. None of them died, Mrs. Ding and Cao Shuo died.

This is a very big blow to Cao Ang and Princess Qinghe. If it is another younger brother, Princess Qinghe may not take the risk to let her husband come over. After all, Cao Wan is not ignorant of her husband's situation. , will deepen Cao Cao's fear.

As Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Cao Wan is very suspicious of her father.

Only this time, Cao Wan had no choice but to come, no matter how many complaints she had in her heart, her mother died, her younger brother died, and now her elder brother had to carry Cao Shi by himself, she knew that if he If my husband doesn't help, there will definitely be a big mess in the current situation.

As for the fact that Barack came out of the mountain, Beigui naturally took advantage of the chaos to occupy part of the military power, leaving a huge hidden danger, and so on, it is actually not important now.

The situation has reached the present situation, even if it is to drink poison to quench thirst, it must be overcome first. As for the troubles that will follow, let's talk about it later.

Barack himself doesn't want to interfere. He is a nobleman from Beigui, and he is still a general who has fulfilled Beigui's long-cherished wish for a hundred years. His appeal in Beigui is not just for fun. He took a personal guard to Herat, and then he completely showed the attitude of his wife and children on the kang, which is enough to show that this person has a good political mind.

No matter how firm the consciousness is, it can't withstand the distortion of the consciousness itself. Cao Wan cried and begged, and Barak knew that this was a fire pit, so he also jumped.

After daring to come here, Barak didn’t have much to say when he saw his uncle. Now that he’s here, let’s help people to the end. He can indeed do what Cao Ang needs. As far as he dared to think in his heart, Barack could do it.

The mental image is originally the reflection produced by the general's mental interference and distorted reality, so the strength of the mental image will naturally reflect the level of awareness of a general.

And Barak, as the fulfiller of the long-cherished wish of the Da Yue Clan, let's put it this way, the only mode of idealism with the highest mind image can be forcibly opened for Barak.

If it weren't for the fact that Barak still had some guilt towards Weisudeva I in his heart, and he had achieved this with a century-old wish, Barak would have been able to advance his mental image to an unprecedented level.

It's just that even if there are still some flaws in his heart, and he is not perfect, the strength of Barak's mental image has been pushed to a certain limit. Assuming that there is an absolute idealism, Barack can be regarded as an alternative strong person who has completed the idealistic oneness.

The current Barak is really strong. Back then, he was one step away from the command of the large army. With the blessings brought by the favorable location and mental imagery, he could withstand the violent bombardment of all the main forces under Cao Cao's command.

But now the metamorphosis of the mental image has made Barak not only more powerful with the blessing of his own army, but also the adjustment effect of the battle situation brought about by the balance of the mental image, which has also crossed that line.

This kind of top-level configuration is considered a top-level elder on any 40-year-old person. The problem is that these configurations are not important to Barack. Once these abilities are exposed, Barak doubts that he will never win The Lord embraced.

To what extent is this configuration so strong that today, as long as Barak is willing to collude with Beigui, Guishuang can show Rome and the Han Dynasty what is called an endless battle of empires.

After realizing this, Barak was completely paralyzed. He was somehow so strong that he could control the situation of the empire. Can he not be so desperate.

I, Barak, live for the sake of the princess, can you not let my mental image continue to strengthen, I am afraid that I will not be able to cover it up, the little devil named Sun Zhongmou last time always drilled towards me on the battlefield , I pretended not to withstand two arrows, and he came back, he must have seen something!

This is Barak's life. On the day Barak married Princess Qinghe, his mental image increased explosively, and continued to increase naturally every day after that.

Even if the follow-up growth has been very slow, but this kind of growth cannot be sustained because of the accumulated changes. Up to now, it has pushed Barak to a height that was unimaginable before.

But thinking about it is also true. At that time, Wei Sudipo I picked up a Liu Hao, and the monarch's talent has increased significantly. As the first Da Yue nobleman to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, it is not a problem for Barak's heart to rise. On the contrary, non-explosive growth is the problem!

We ask ourselves, as a traditional Da Yue clan nobleman, the long-cherished wish of five generations of ancestors has been fulfilled in your hands, are you not proud? Are you not confident?

And mental imagery mainly eats this kind of mentality. Even if Barak doesn't show it, he will be proud of fulfilling his century-old wish.

Do you know what the Da Yue clan is? The Da Yue clan who doesn’t like Han princesses is not orthodox. The orthodox Da Yue clan dares to take 70,000 to 80,000 people to forcefully obtain the Han princess. I have to bury my head in hard work and continue to marry the princess.

Barak didn't dare to show his full strength, but it doesn't mean that Barack wants to let his uncle jump into the fire pit. That guy of Ardashir, Barack has seen it with his own eyes. Let's put it this way, the group of people present No one knows better than Barack.

Don't think that this group of people has worked with Ardashir head-on, but when it comes to their understanding of Ardashir, this group of people is not good. At least this group of people can't realize what is the strongest point of Ardashir .

It's not the Holy Death Knight, it's not a desperate decision, and it's not some kind of random luck, but the outrageous ability to catch fighters.

Let's put it this way, if there is no way to stop the Saint Death Cavalry led by Ardashir, then Ardashir's ability to capture fighters is enough to dismember an army several times larger than his own like a scalpel. In Barak's judgment Among them, in the last battle of Kandahar, Cao Cao was able to win only because a certain legion could hold off the Holy Death Cavalry.

Otherwise, the outrageous maneuverability and piercing ability of the Holy Death Cavalry will give you the front line, but now, Barack looked around, and none of them can withstand it. In this case, you can only fight for command , the question is, among the people present, who can command so many legions?

You can't do it yourself, isn't that courting death?

"Ardashir will take the initiative to attack." Cao Ang said seriously.

"I believe this, the question is who will stop Ardashir?" Barak looked at Cao Ang and asked, and directly clarified the question, "Although there are not many Saint Death Knights left, with Ardashir's ability, Leading a cavalry of the same level as ours to fight on the battlefield, who can stop it, or in other words, need to invest several times the force to stop it, we lack a commander in chief."

Cao Ang's expression darkened. He originally wanted to say that he was directing, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"I'm coming!" Xia Houyuan stood up and said.

Barak blinked his eyes, but he still didn't speak. Xia Houyuan couldn't do it.

"Do other people have any objections?" Cao Ang looked at the crowd and asked with an open-minded look.

Xu Huang looked at Xia Houyuan, but he still didn't speak in the end. He also felt that Xia Houyuan was not very good. When Cao Cao beat Ardashir, he was somewhat embarrassed. trustworthy.

"Then let uncle do the scheduling." Cao Ang saw that the others had no objections, and he also felt that Xia Houyuan was indeed good at commanding, and he had his own heart, so he responded directly, and then looked at Barak and Xu Huang, "Barack and Xu Gongming are supported by the two."

Xia Houyuan nodded to Barak and Xu Huang when he heard the words. He didn't have much feeling for Xu Huang, he just felt that his eldest nephew was trying to appease people's hearts, but for Barak, Xia Houyuan was convinced, and even directly pointed, in Xia Houyuan's eyes Come on, if it weren't for Barak's political problems, the best choice for the current commander-in-chief is definitely Barak.

At least Barak really led more than a hundred thousand people to carry out large-scale battles based on the terrain in a linked manner of area distribution. Even if the actual control did not reach the command of the large army, it would not be too far behind.

To put it bluntly, if Chen Gong hadn't brought out his trump card to take down Barak, even if there were reinforcements from Liu Bei and Sun Ce, Kandahar would probably have to fight until now.

Therefore, Xia Houyuan was not dissatisfied with the arrangement of his eldest nephew, but Xu Huang was thoughtful. He has been a low-key and transparent person these years. He has devoted himself to studying military books and gained a little. He is thinking about how to transform it. .
