In the tent of the large army camp, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun talked happily with each other, and although Sima Yi on the side had a cold face, he also interjected two sentences from time to time. Although the tone was slightly unkind, the three of them knew the character of this guy and didn't care about his attitude at all.

The four people present are all the top heroes today, although they have only just come into contact with each other, and they are somewhat unfamiliar with each other, but they quickly became acquainted.

In the future, they will all have to deal with each other as ministers and often deal with each other, even Sima Yi didn't say much, and it would be no good for anyone to stiffen the relationship. Especially for Sima Yi, if they are incompatible with each other, he dares to guarantee that Yuan Shu will definitely take him down and not the other three.

"Brother Gongjin, you have changed a lot in the past two years!" Looking at Zhou Yu, who was much more mature than before, Lu Xun exclaimed.

"The more you experience, the faster you grow. In the past few months, at the junction of body poison and Guishan, there have been frequent battles, and we can be regarded as having gained a lot. Zhou Yu smiled.

The ruler is short, the inch is long, and each civilization and country has its own uniqueness. Although the body poison and Guishuang were much weaker than themselves, Zhou Yu did not mean to despise them at all.

During this period of stalemate, he led the army to conceal his identity and secretly attacked many times. Not only against Guishan, but also against the body poison. In order to find out the combat patterns and characteristics of the armies of these two countries, learn from their strengths, and look for their defects and flaws.

Although it was only a few months, Zhou Yu felt that he had benefited a lot, and his understanding of the military array was deeper.

"It seems that this is really a treasure land, and it really has a deep meaning for Your Majesty to let us come here." Lu Xun said excitedly.

"This battle has been fought for nearly half a year, and there is no sign of its end?" Sima Yi frowned.

"The war between the great powers took an extremely long time, just like the Western Han Dynasty's conquest of the Xiongnu, and it can even be called several years. Moreover, there are many internal problems on both sides in this battle, and there are many people who do not want this battle to end quickly, and they do not even want this battle to be won by their own side. Zhou Yu's eyes were full of wisdom, as if he knew everything in his chest.

"There are many separatist forces within the body poison, and they are vain trying to stand on their own, so they naturally do not want to win this war launched by the body poison royal family. And the Kushan is the same inside, the division is very strong, the Brahmins, Kshatriyas and the royal family have sharp contradictions, and it is not bad to kill people without borrowing a knife. Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly.

During this time, they were not only focused on the battlefield, but they were also extremely concerned about the more important political factors outside the battlefield.

"That can't last too long, the two sides have mobilized nearly 500,000 troops, and the huge amount of grain and grass consumed will definitely be difficult to support even with the heritage of the two countries." Sima Yi said.

Factors outside the battlefield often have a greater impact on the outcome of a war than factors on the battlefield. Especially for a war of this scale, logistics are crucial.

"No, both sides have plenty of food and grass." Zhuge Liang's face was inexplicable.

"How is that possible?" Sima Yi said in disbelief: "This is an army of nearly 500,000!" Are Guishan and Body Poison very rich? Aren't these two countries on the verge of falling apart? ”

"No, these two countries are not poor, but they are not too rich. Moreover, their wealth is more concentrated, and the living standards of the people are not much better than those of the people in the late Han Dynasty, which can be described as dire and dire in water. Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

"But the caste system and so-called Buddhist ideas that prevail in these two countries are extremely terrifying." Zhou Yu said with a solemn face.

"The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, but it is true in the body poison and the frost. The status hierarchy is extremely solidified and distinct, and the low caste has been enslaved for too long, and it is simply at the mercy of others, without any idea of resistance. Therefore, the stability and execution of the bottom of these two countries are very strong, even comparable to the Great Qin during the Warring States Period. ”

"Five million people support an army of nearly 800,000, and they have never cut off logistics and grass for years of war." Sima Yi's pupils shrank, revealing a rare dignified look.

Zhuge Liang nodded: "The people at the bottom of the two countries have been obedient for a long time, and they can be exploited almost at will. In addition, one side of the two sides is a big trading country, and the other side has fertile land that crops almost three times a year. For both sides, food and grass are basically not a problem. ”

"Coupled with the involvement of internal forces, and the coaches of both sides are both veteran and cautious, the situation is now deadlocked. If nothing else, I'm afraid it's okay to play for another year. Zhou Yu sighed lightly.

Mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to fight for a year or two in a row, this kind of thing he once dared to think of, but now it is really happening in front of him.

"Both sides are ready to fight a protracted war, not only have prepared a large amount of grain and grass, but also have been constantly transporting troops to the rear. In the past few months, there are probably 100,000 soldiers on both sides who have joined the battlefield one after another. The number of soldiers on both sides has not decreased, and the scale of the war shows no signs of curtailing. ”

Lu Xun's eyes couldn't help but rise with a heaviness: "I can only say, is it really worthy of the empire?" This battlefield is a meat grinder! ”

"The scale of this war is not much different from the battle between Han and Qiang."

"So how did you hide during this time? If you attack many times, after such a long time, no matter how deep you hide, they should notice that something is wrong. Sima Yi asked suddenly.

"Day and night, cautious and cautious, and with Gong Jin's ability, we have only been hidden until now." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu and said.

When Sima Yi heard this, he immediately looked sideways: "I didn't expect you to have such skills, Gongjin." ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "It's just a little cautious, it's just a small skill of carving insects." If it weren't for the cover of Guishan and the poison, I wouldn't have been able to do this. Moreover, they are now starting to get suspicious. ”

"In the past few months, nearly 30,000 soldiers have been lost in a strange row, but I can't find the reason, how can I not be suspicious?" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu helplessly.

Although Zhou Yu seems to be elegant, he is actually extremely majestic in his heart and keen on war. In the past few months, although Zhuge Liang has constantly reminded and dissuaded, he has continued to wait for opportunities to attack. The 5,000 soldiers he brought at the beginning have already lost more than 1,000 soldiers, which is one of the reasons why Lu Xun led 3,000 soldiers to come. If the source of troops is not replenished, these troops will not be enough for Zhou Yu to command the battle.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly embarrassedly: "I also wanted to find out the situation of the armies of the two countries, so I had to attack continuously." ”

"It's not really a big deal. It would be enough to let some of the shadows in the two countries do something. Sima Yi said: "Anyway, the internal forces of the two countries are complicated, and it is reasonable for some people to be tempted to participate in this war." Sending two elite legions to pretend secretly is enough to hide people's eyes. ”

"But the commanders of these two armies are experienced and experienced veterans, and this trick can be hidden from others, and I am afraid that they can't hide it. After all, they dominate the battlefield and have many sources, so it is easy to find flaws. Zhuge Liang said.

"There is no need to hide it from them, after all, no matter how much they doubt it, it is impossible to suspect us Han people who are thousands of miles away. Just choke their messaging and don't get more people's attention. And after this battle, these two managers can disappear. Sima Yi smiled coldly.

"Wouldn't it be nice if one was defeated and killed, and the other was a master of great merit, and disappeared together? Body Poison and Guishan don't need this kind of veteran who is loyal to the country, they should have been eliminated a long time ago. ”
