The time and conditions required to annex an empire are too long and difficult.

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if Kushan declines like this, it is still an empire after all, and the heritage still exists.

If Da Chu chooses to capture them one by one, first annex the body poison, and then attack Guishan after it is completely stabilized, this is certainly safe, but it will take too long, and it will easily cause unexpected changes.

With a poisonous population of nearly 10 million and a completely different language, beliefs, and political systems, it would greatly hinder the rule of the Great Chu. It will take at least a few years to stabilize his rule, and this time is enough for Guishan to even rest in peace.

The situation in the world is like the situation of the Han Dynasty when the princes were fighting for hegemony. Yuan Shu's attack on the body poison will definitely arouse the vigilance of Guishan and Anxi. If the attack cannot be continued as soon as possible, the consequences will be incalculable.

Who knows how the worried Guishan will react. After all, Guishan is just an internal erosion, the national strength is still strong enough, under the huge pressure and fear, if it is really courageous, a few years will be enough to make it reorganize the situation.

Therefore, the annexation of the body poison and the annexation of Kushan must be held immediately after or even at the same time. Moreover, the body poison must be in front of Guishan, so as to better open up the road to conquer Guishan and attack from both sides of the Western Regions.

In fact, there is another almost necessary condition for this strategy, and that is to sit on the sidelines. Otherwise, if he participated in it in peace, Da Chu would face two empires and a pseudo-empire at the same time. Moreover, in long-distance away battles, the logistics supply line is so long, and the winning rate can be said to be almost minimal.

Fortunately, however, this prerequisite is not difficult to achieve in the current situation. Because the rest is now a mess inside, and it is under the attack of the Romans.

Therefore, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang said that such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as Da Chu's actions are fast enough, coupled with diplomatic means, they can completely take down Guishan and the body poison in peace.

"If this battle continues to stalemate, it will be the best outcome for us, the longer it drags on, the better, and if not, we must try our best to ensure that we are not defeated, or maintain a lose-lose situation." Zhuge Liang said.

"Can the body poison really help you up?" Zhou Yu chuckled: "The names of the four empires are not for nothing, even if we help from the side to avoid someone interfering in the command of that old general, I am afraid that there is not much possibility that the poison can win." Unless, I personally go to command. ”

"Don't even think about it." Zhuge Liang said coldly: "In this battle, our Da Chu definitely can't participate in it at all. Otherwise, the old fox who is poisoned will definitely take advantage of the problem and pull our Da Chu into the water. ”

"Just kidding, I'm not interested in fighting for another country."

"I'm afraid this battle will last at least a few months, so if you don't get discovered by anyone, is your legion's talent okay?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"You can rest assured, as long as there are no more than 10,000 people, there will be no problems. What about you? How do you guarantee logistical issues? Zhou Yu asked rhetorically. Thousands of soldiers traveled to other countries, such a long distance, it was unimaginable to want the same quiet transportation of grain, but he wanted to know how Zhuge Liang did it.

"I have already started to prepare for this matter, I have sent people to explore and open up a road, and I have also found many suitable places to store grain and store enough food for tens of thousands of soldiers to eat for more than two years, so you don't have to worry about logistics problems."

Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this: "How long have you been preparing for such a big project?" ”

"Preparations have been made since the day I first became the head of the Southwestern States." Zhuge Liang said indifferently.

Zhou Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang deeply: "You have just started to take charge of the Southwest Kingdoms, you are really far-sighted and courageous." ”

"Since the dispatch of troops from the southwestern countries to Guishan has already been decided, it is natural that preparations should be made in advance. Relying on the latest grain storage method researched by the farmer, there is basically no need to worry about grain damage within three to five years, and Liang has built more. At most, it's just a waste of food, and maybe it can come in handy when it matters, right? Zhuge Liang deserved.

Zhou Yu was impressed in his heart, in terms of taking precautions, he was indeed not as good as the demon in front of him.

"Your Majesty sent you to lead the southwestern countries, and I had some doubts at first. Now it seems that you are indeed the most suitable person. Zhou Yu sighed.

To this day, he finally understood why Yuan Shu chose Zhuge Liang to take on this important responsibility, because the person in front of him was good enough. Whether it is internal affairs, strategy or overall view, the qualities that a strategist should possess are all refined, have no shortcomings, and are almost all-rounder. For such a sensitive place and a complex situation as the southwestern countries, it is most suitable for such all-round talents to be in charge.

"In his position, Liang is in charge of the southwest, so he naturally has to do his own thing." Zhuge Liang's face was not colorful.

"I'm really lucky to have a colleague like you." Zhou Yu said with a smile. On the battlefield, there is a "Xiao He" like Zhuge Liang in charge of logistics, and he, "Han Xin", can enter the battle without any scruples.

"Each other, each other." Zhuge Liang also looked at Zhou Yu solemnly: "I also have a general understanding of your situation, I'm afraid that your so-called legion talent is not only as simple as a legion talent!" ”

"You're really not easy!" Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "How can people like you and me be obsessed with the ordinary?" Your spiritual talent can be called against the sky, and my legion talent naturally can't be left behind! ”

Although there had been some speculation for a long time, after it was really confirmed, even Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm, couldn't help but gasp.

"The old ghost of Huangfu has not been able to do it in his life, and the most regrettable thing is to let you do it!" Xun Yue looked at Zhou Yu with shock.

"Isn't it normal for students to make up for their teachers' regrets? As a student, if you can't surpass the teacher, how can you be worthy of the teacher's dedication to teaching? "Zhou Yu has always been so graceful.

"To put it simply, in the past few hundred years, how many people in the Han family have tried to take this road, except for the Marquis of Huaiyin? No one ever succeeds, and you are the only one who walks out of this path. Xun Yue said in a condensed voice.

Originally, he thought that he already had a high opinion of Zhou Yu, but now it seems that he still underestimates the young man in front of him. Regardless of talent, the heart and courage of the person in front of him are probably far inferior to Zhuge Liang.

"No wonder you are confident that you can cover the whereabouts of thousands of troops, which is probably a real breeze for you. Before, I was worried that there were some talented people with unique legion talents in the Guishan or Poison Army who could see through your disguise, but now it seems that I am really worried about it. Xun Yue laughed at herself.
