Chapter 300: The Correct Use of War to Nurture War
Starting from Dunhuang, the army marched all the way west.
The glory of the former Western Regions Changshi Mansion can be vaguely seen along the road, and there are many boundary monuments standing on the road.
Wherever the army went, there was little resistance.
First, because it was already cold in winter, and they were hungry, let alone resisting, they didn't want to move.
The second is because of the "biological weapon" developed by Baiyi, so that nine times out of ten people here are infected with this strange poison, if they can die, maybe it will be better.
Finally, and most importantly, the army never disturbs the people wherever it goes, let alone does anything to the common people, and also brings food to the elderly and children, and those who are poisoned are also treated.
And these are impossible to see in the countries of the Western Regions, how can those high-ranking officials care about their life or death?
The people are so simple, if you are good to them, then they will accept you.
This is different from the group of madmen in Xichu before, they are thousands of miles away, and Xuanyuan Hanmo is for the benefit of all people! Although he gave the poison, didn't these people know it!
"Let's go here today, everyone set up camp, notify the Ministry of Works, start laying railroad tracks, and make a new transfer station here!"
As soon as Xuanyuan Hanmo's order came out, the soldiers began to camp happily.
It has been five months since Dunhuang set out, and it has advanced all the way to a long river.
It is where the army is now, and according to the old man, this river is their mother river, the Tarim River.
Further ahead is the weirdest country in the Western Regions, the Exquisite Country.
It's a desert place, and only the people of the Peerless Nation can survive in the middle of the desert.
Because of this news, Xuanyuan Hanmo chose this location as a transit station and made all preparations.
As for why this group of soldiers are so happy, this has to be said to be the wonder of fate.
Most of these guys are bachelors, and they have never had a chance to get married, and they also want to find a woman to live, but they don't have any women's popularity.
However, after running to the Western Regions, the peach blossom luck of this group of people broke out!
One by one, the women here took a fancy to them, and they wanted to stay in the area where the woman they liked was located.
What a line of work! The trip to the Western Regions has just begun, and these guys want to be lazy?
However, this business made Xuanyuan Hanmo think of an idea.
There are still many places after the Western Regions, and if you really want to fight over, this group of bachelors is estimated to be suffocated! And just attacking and plundering all the way, they will also be tired.
But now it's different, this group of people has found companionship in the Western Regions, and they can take root here, slowly move westward, and be more recognized by the people here.
Kill two birds with one stone!
As a result, Xuanyuan Hanmo set up a logistics support organization.
It is composed of these women who are willing to marry soldiers, who are responsible for weaving straw sandals and sewing clothes for the soldiers, and can also pay according to the army establishment.
But they will not be with the large army, and can only be at the transit station behind the large army.
But if the railroad tracks are laid, you can apply to go back and talk to your own woman later.
That's why this group of guys is so happy and positive.
"Marshal, according to the old man's words, after crossing this river, it is a desert, shall we go there?"
Xuanyuan Hanmo didn't nod or shake his head, let alone speak.
In Xuanyuan Hanmo's tent, Tyson led a large group of generals around the map to study.
Nothing is known about the situation and intelligence in the desert, and no one from the intelligence agency can go inside and get the information inside.
"We have to be ready! Let people go to the guide! If you live here, there will always be people who will have contact with the people inside, so let's get information first. ”
"Yes!"
Yan Zhuo, who was in charge of intelligence, hurriedly received the order.
"Marshal, why don't we go around this desert? We don't have any experience with this, so it's going to be hard to get through. ”
Sima Shou stood up and asked everyone's questions.
"Because..."
Xuanyuan Hanmo made a nostalgic look, making everyone feel that there was a story in it.
"None of you object! I had to push it all the way! ”
Xuanyuan Hanmo spread out his hand and said helplessly.
Everyone held their foreheads, and their own marshal began to make two mistakes again! It's their fault! I didn't even ask this really simple question all the way.
"I'll go, do you really believe me? This desert must be explored! But not now, I'm going here! Turtles! ”
Xuanyuan Hanmo pointed to a blank area on the map, on which a new name had just been added, Guizi.
There was still a large blank space above the turtle that had not been filled.
At first, everyone was confused, what was this trying to do?
"The location of the turtles, you take a look, what do you find?"
Xuanyuan Hanmo's question, Tyson and the others hurriedly looked around the map carefully.
"It's a natural gem! The river is surrounded on three sides, and if you want to attack, you have to cross the river! And on the last side is a mountain range! Snow! ”
A veteran saw it and said excitedly.
"That's right! Take this down here! The Western Regions will be connected with the Western Chu! You guys learn more from these guys! There are some things that you can't learn from books! Complacency will hold you back! ”
Looking at the confused appearance of this group of guys, Xuanyuan Hanmo hated that iron could not be made of steel and said, after fighting for so long, this thing has not been learned, and it is still much worse than those veterans.
The veterans praised Xuanyuan Hanmo like this, and they all puffed up their chests, stroked their beards, and even said that they had won the prize.
Tyson: They were all a little embarrassed, they could hear that Xuanyuan Hanmo was talking about their young senior generals.
In beating them, we must not be complacent, and we must quickly learn from the experience of those veterans.
"Marshal, since it's so difficult to fight here, why do we have to be a transit station so far away?"
A young general behind Sima Shou asked this question stupidly, so that Xuanyuan Hanmo almost choked on the water.
"OMG! Not here, where? There's a small country here! Why don't we take it down and wait for someone to stab us in the ass? ”
Xuanyuan Hanmo picked up the small wooden stick on the table and knocked the young man hard.
Sima Shou did not intercede for this young general, even if this young man was his own brother.
It's a shame! It's better to give a beating! The brain may be able to open up!
After scolding the young general, he knew that he had asked such an idiotic question, and he didn't dodge, and let Xuanyuan Hanmo beat him, he also felt a little embarrassed.
"Along the way, there is another problem in our army, do you know what it is?"
Xuanyuan Hanmo tidied up his clothes, sat down and asked the group of generals.
But with such a big leap in thinking, this group of generals was stunned again, but they still thought about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, they still couldn't think of what the problem was.
"The proud army will be defeated! It's too smooth along the way, and something will happen, just like the battle of Jincheng back then, and the army of the Western Regions was defeated on it. ”
The young general who had just beaten Xuanyuan Hanmo scratched his head and replied.
Everyone was stunned, even Sima Shou was surprised, did he really open the door to the marshal?
