Chapter 515: Little Wenhou, Oh No, Genuine Wenhou Lu Bu (11)
There is no one in this land of Central Asia who does not understand war. There is an idiom in China called the land of the four wars, but in the land of China, there are few places with such strategic locations.
Some people may say Xuzhou, some people may say other places, but these places are all existences that can be easily bypassed.
That's why we will find out in the history of wars that not every war, the names of these places will be released. For military generals, their arrangement, many times the user's more colorful geographical choice, but the enemy's layout, will involve their own layout, coupled with their own military strength, only to limit their choice.
Geographical factors, when to be dealt with, even fell into the point of mechanization. What kind of terrain is suitable for what? It seems to be a predestined thing, and no one will think of other options, let alone make other ways of fighting with fixed terrain and creative things, because that would risk defeat, and the risk is very large.
By the time of the current war, the vigorous development of thermal weapons has made geographical factors a small role in the war.
However, no one can ignore his presence in the Kazakh plain, and even in the current era when thermal weapons dominate the battlefield, no one will forget his important position as a strategic center.
In fact, if it could, the Empire should have avoided this place as soon as possible. First of all, for the newly established empire, extending its tentacles here already has a bit of a strong crossbow flavor. It is simply impossible for the empire to reach extremely strong control here. The final result can only be to recover a nomadic tribe that is about to rebel at every turn.
Secondly, in this long expedition, there were many ambitious enemies, who were overlooked, consciously or unconsciously, and who were now at the rear of the battle line, and were likely to attack the supply lines. Now, it's time to go back and clean them up. As for the war on the front, the city of Talas. It will once again become one of the westernmost cities of the Chinese Empire. While this is temporary, it is also unavoidable.
Then the war here needs to be resolved by a peace negotiation in the past. So the generals, who had just arrived at the front, received an order from the Imperial Cabinet. Although they did not understand and claimed that the Cabinet was playing them like monkeys, it did not change the strategic layout of those cabinet members.
Of course, the last round of negotiations was unsuccessful, because the other side apparently did not consider themselves to be treated like slaves. War. It starts at lightning speed and ends at lightning speed.
This is clearly not a speed that the nomadic tribes are willing to accept, and some of the decision-makers, especially those who are not on the front lines, do not even think that the war has been decided. Because they always feel that time will not allow the two sides to decide the winner of the war.
The war seemed to last for a moment, or rather, like a nightmare on a night, and they wanted it. When they wake up, the demons can be wiped out and return the original peaceful life to them.
But this is not the case, with the return of Li Siye, the mission of harvesting life was quickly completed by him. The prestige of the Cancer Palace will soon shock the entire empire's media circles. Of course, this is not the concern of the generals at the front, because there are many of them. They have all carefully trained their subordinates and are ready for the test of war at any time. He was just a chance to perform, which can only be proved. He's just as prepared as they are.
However, after this large-scale killing, the nomadic families of the Kazakh steppe, especially the elders of the various tribes who were gathered, fully saw the horror of the enemy, and they believed that it was not a nightmare. This is a real killing, and they ushered in the real demon king.
And now, the Demon King has made his request, that is, to obey him honestly and in a proper manner.
Although some people are still reluctant to accept this fact, there are even those who believe that even if they fight to the last man, the warriors of the Kazakh steppes should not submit to any enemy. However, their naïve and stubborn thoughts pale and powerless in the face of the enemy's shining butcher's knife.
As a result, the two sides had to return to the negotiating table once again. Only this time is different from the previous ones, and it is clear that the forces of both sides have changed significantly.
"We have a majesty who likes to collect beauties from all over the world, you women in the Kazakh steppe, naturally included, we hope that marriage can maintain your center for the empire, of course, you have the right to choose to refuse, after all, we have many generals, none of them have shown their skills on the battlefield, and we don't want them to leave the battlefield depressed like this, no matter what, the soldiers, belong here."
Hearing the threat of the other party, the elders of the Kazakh tribes soon had to make a choice, and they finally agreed to select a sufficient number of beauties and send them to the distant imperial capital to be dedicated to the great emperor.
"What we need is not just quantity, but first of all quality, and especially the daughters of tribal leaders should contribute to this continuum. Your Majesty the Emperor, I would like to know in what way your loyalty will manifest itself. ”
In this way, the daughters of many leaders, including the Winter Snow Girl, were included in the list.
Soon, the news was sent to the Winter Snow Maiden. But he did not want to go to the far east.
He ran to Lu Bu and begged him, "Can you take me away and go to your far west." I'd rather endure hunger and cold there than go to that damned Eastern Empire and become the Emperor's woman. ”
Lu Bu let out a long sigh, of course he knew that this emperor who liked to collect all kinds of women must be Sun Luo, but he had always ignored it, if he was in that position, I am afraid he could only do more than him.
But this lovely girl in front of him, he was reluctant to send her back to the capital of the empire, because it had unconsciously developed a hazy feeling for him, perhaps at the moment when he rescued it, or perhaps earlier, on the night of the bonfire.
But anyway? He made the final decision.
No matter how unequal the Empire's treaties were, he would never let the Snow Maiden be a part of this inequality.
"Wait for me, I'll have a way." (To be continued.) )
