Chapter 505 Little Wenhou, oh no, genuine Wenhou Lu Bu (I)
Under Guan Yu's persuasion, Zhang Fei had already given up the pursuit. Although he still doesn't quite understand why Guan Yu would give up this great opportunity. In his opinion, with him chasing behind him, Guan Yu rushed to the front with the speed advantage of his mount, and the men and horses on both sides could just flank the front and back.
But Guan Yu just didn't want you to do this, not only that, but he also organized Zhang Fei's attempt. In this case, Zhang Fei couldn't find the north directly. However, he couldn't help but believe the second brother's thoughts. If it is compared to being smart, then the loyal second brother is naturally not comparable to him. However, compared to the vision of strategic layout, Zhang Fei can only sigh to himself.
His puzzled gaze looked at Yue Fei and Yue Yun. The father and son are obviously also the second monk who is confused. The three of them had to continue to sit in misery, not knowing what to do next. Zhang Fei originally wanted to ask Guan Yu, but Second Brother Guan kept standing not far in front of Yesmuhan. If the other party is ready to escape, then he will follow closely, but he will not open the killing ring, which is to maintain a deterrent force of existence. If Yesmuhan sent his men to attack, then Guan Yu would take it all, anyway, now that his men had set up their formation, it would not be difficult for him to fight a defensive counterattack.
Yang at the head of the city never thought that things would turn out like this. He originally thought that under Zhang Fei's sabotage, the entire plan could undergo irreversible changes. Unexpectedly, at the critical time, Guan Yu appeared under the city and successfully blocked Yesmuhan's escape attempt.
Now the situation is back to what Yang Dayan wants to see the most. And to some extent, the hedging situation is better. Originally, Yesmukhan did not dare to act easily because of the axle of reinforcements from many sides, but now he has a unified and decisive force to prevent him from taking any action. In this way, as long as Li Siye's Dajun appeared outside the city, they would be able to taste the power of the Mo Dao Army, which already had high mobility.
The original Modao Army was nothing more than infantry, and in many cases, it could only rely on its fortress-like body and armor to defend against enemy attacks. Far inferior to the opponent in maneuverability. Although they have also used horses to make something similar to dragoons in history, they have not achieved excellent performance on the battlefield after all.
But now things have changed dramatically. First of all, the armor they are equipped with is no longer synonymous with bulkiness, but a new type of armor supported by titanium alloy. High hardness and light weight are his most basic characteristics. Of course, the Mo knives in the hands of the Mo Dao Army are still heavy, but without the drag of the armor, it is much easier for them to dance. Moreover, the overall reduction of the brightness also provides a basic guarantee for their maneuvering speed when riding.
Yang Dayan now has very good reason to believe that Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye's transformation of the Modao Army is successful, as long as Li Siye appears behind Yesmuhan and comes to make such a final deal, this protracted battle can be over. Of course, if Li Siye hadn't appeared at that time, then they could only make a desperate bet before the grain and grass ran out.
The good news is that their grain and grass are quite sufficient, and at present, they only need time, waiting for Li Siye to come here.
However, the other side of Yesmukhan did not have much time, although they came prepared, and prepared a lot of supplies, but now the morale is low, if this continues, the various tribes under his command may fall apart. In addition to the group of people under his direct control, I am afraid that there are many people who doubt his military command ability now.
Whether they are ready to pick up the trouble at this time and set up a new master, or simply surrender behind their backs, preparing to become slaves of the Orientals for the rest of their lives. It won't end well for him, so Yesmuhan must take measures as soon as possible, whether it is to find a way to win the hearts and minds of the people, or simply control all the leaders who have ideas. His time was running out.
But his men seemed smarter than he was. None of them created the slightest sign of an undercurrent. Even a few young leaders are being taught by elders within the tribe or other good tribes. Their actions were apparently simple, that is, to continue to arrange their troops in accordance with the arrangement of the Great Khan, and to fully guard against further military action by the enemy.
In this regard, the explanation given by Yesmukhan's thinkers is that in fact, their situation is even more disadvantageous than that of the Great Khan. If they defect at this time, I wonder if they will not only become enemies on the other side, but also the objects of the Great Khan.
The most crucial factor is not how strong the Great Khan's internal control flow is. Rather, it is because there is a certain difference between the current situation and the situation that has often occurred in history.
It is common in history to see scum who betray and betray the tribal alliance and then throw themselves at the enemy. But those people negotiated their bargaining chips with the enemy in private, and only then did they finally decide whether to surrender or not.
But the current situation is that although the fledgling Eastern Empire has achieved successive military victories, their culture, even if it is very similar to that of the Han Chinese, has not been able to resonate with any of the tribes. In other words, even if it is a purely cultural exchange, there is no tribe to do it with them. In this way, even if some tribes want to surrender to the other side, they will be surprised to find that there is no one who understands their culture to negotiate the corresponding treatment.
In this way, even if there is already an internal rift in the Kazakh Khanate, the enemies on the periphery are not in a position to take advantage of this and disintegrate their unity from within.
This, of course, is good news for Yesmukhan.
That is, communication with the enemy, too, is in his hands. Well, what he has to do now is simple.
He was ready to make a request for peace talks with the Da Viet Empire, and as long as he could keep his position as khan, then for him, it would be just an ordinary military faux pas. As for the indemnity and land cession, it is natural that more can be apportioned to those tribes who are usually not very obedient.
Basically, this will not hurt his core interests.
So, such a plan was finalized. Who put him in military passivity now?
A few hours later, Guo Kan received an urgent telegram from earlier. As for whether or not to hold peace talks, not to mention the few armies gathered under the city of Talas, there is still no de jure unified commander, and even if there is, it is not a question that they can decide. So it was normal for this telegram to appear in front of him.
However, questions arose, and this was also the front line relative to the rear, so did he have the right to negotiate peace with the enemy privately? Of course not, so an urgent telegram was sent from him, and the destination was Yanzhou Mansion, the administrative center of the empire in this time and space.
The members of the Cabinet had apparently prepared for such a telegram for a long time, but they were in no hurry to make judgments. A telegram asking the front-line commander to state the situation at the front was recited back, and Guo Kan gave a detailed answer according to the request. However, the next telegram turned out to be very similar to the previous one, except that it was emphasized that a statement from the former enemy commander was required.
Guo Kan was speechless, Talas City had lost the practice of radio waves, and he also advanced to send troops to reinforce after this situation appeared. And it was precisely because of this situation that Gao Xianzhi in the city couldn't find a way to contact Li Siye for a long time, otherwise there would be no need for He Guan that kid to go out of the city.
Fortunately, there are still Guan Yu and Yue Fei who are more aware of the overall situation on the front line, especially Guan Yu's military newspaper, for Zhuge Liang, he should be able to understand even the obscure content, and there are no problems with their radio equipment. The reason why Guo Kan was able to get the news of Yesmuhan's request for peace was precisely because they learned about this matter through the point report.
As a result, an urgent telegram from Guan Yu also appeared in front of the cabinet meeting presided over by the prime minister.
"Good!" After Zhuge Liang read Guan Yu's report, he first used this one word to set the tone for the current battlefield situation.
Although several ministers around him were nominated by him, they were all elites in various industries. There are very few people who specialize in this aspect of the military.
However, Sun Bin, the secretary of national defense, still has something to say.
"Actually, the current situation is not too good. At the moment we still need time and the enemy to be vain. Waiting for the battering ram's decisive blow. Although we can rely on the superiority of equipment and training in a short period of time to win a phased victory, the soldiers will be fatigued, and it will be difficult for us to achieve a decisive victory in the absence of decisive forces. ”
Zhuge Liang nodded, the current situation is like this. Whether it is Yang Dayan or Zhang Fei Guan Yu, the victory they have achieved, no matter how powerful the deterrent they bring to the enemy, is only a phased victory. If they continue to fight, then the enemy will follow one after another, and even if they are well-armed, they are likely to be dragged down.
"In that case, we're going to send a master negotiator."
Zhuge Liang's gaze turned to Su Qin, the diplomatic scholar, but he shook his head and said: "This matter does not need our people to come forward, even if they go, the time may exceed the other party's waiting limit, and it is not ruled out that they will do the last wave of things when the time comes." So we can only choose one of the front-line generals. ”
Zhuge Liang nodded, and turned his gaze to Sun Bin again. Sun Bin said two words: "Fengxian." ”
On the pale green grassland, a red horse flashed like a lightning speed, and the dust behind it rose into the air, trying to catch up with his tail hair, but apparently all efforts were in vain.
Lu Bu didn't look at the subordinates who were chasing behind him from afar, then looked at the flatter road ahead, and decided not to wait for them anymore, and rushed forward directly. But he categorically did not expect that an adventure would begin at this time. (To be continued.) )
