Chapter 1738: The Benchmark of Positioning

"Looks like you all have no problems. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Su saw that no one spoke, so he nodded with satisfaction and said.

Just when Zhang Su was about to hand over the military affairs to Yan Yan for assignment, Yan Yan, who had been frowning and not speaking, suddenly asked.

"Isn't that a little too dangerous?" Yan Yan frowned and said, "We just have an appointment with Guishuang for a battle, there is no need to be like this, Zhang Beijia's strategy is not too obvious, but it is too dangerous, if we are not careful, our army may be defeated." ”

After all, Yan Yan is a veteran of the battlefield, and he has experienced many battles, especially when Jing Yi was almost at the peak of Sun Ce's first battle, although he was finally defeated by Pang Tong, but Yan Yan also has a deep understanding of his legion talent.

His legion talent is not suitable for charging combat, but is suitable for commanding the whole army to fight defensive counterattacks, just a strict face does not fall, the army does not collapse, it is enough for him to become a famous general, so after the defeat of Pang Tong in the battle of Jingyi Yiling, Yan Yan did not focus on internal qi cultivation, but refined the transfer of troops.

All of Yan Yan's training is for defensive counterattacks, and he knows his strengths, so he is desperately trying to strengthen his advantages.

When Zhang Su, Zhang Song and others were analyzing before, the reason why Yan Yan didn't speak was that he was sure that he would not collapse after being cut back and forth by the ten legions!

Even further, in the retreat environment of fighting and retreating, Yan Yan is confident that he can launch a comprehensive counterattack at any time, which is the self-confidence born of Yan Yan's continuous sharpening of himself in the past few years.

However, this kind of self-confidence does not mean that Yan Yan can let Zhang Su and Zhang Song use such a risky strategy, although Zhang Song, Zhang Su, Huang Quan and others are all high-position, but to tell the truth, he Yan Yan is the commander of this army, and he himself is almost a combination of qualifications and ability.

Yan Yan inquired like this, Zhang Su and Zhang Song glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes, so Zhang Su stepped forward and said, "What our army needs is not a small victory or a draw, what we need is a big victory." ”

"A big win?" Yan Yan frowned and looked at Zhang Su and asked.

To be honest, with Yan Yan's legion talent, as long as the other party doesn't know that he has such a talent, a big battle, as long as the gap is not big, it will inevitably be Yan Yan who wins.

"Yes, a big victory, if it is just a small victory, we don't need to discuss it like this at all, with the ability of the general, even if we don't say anything, we can get a victory at that time." Huang Quan silently handed Yan Yan a high hat, and Yan Yan's face improved slightly.

"Why?" Yan Yan looked at several civil officials and said.

"Xiaosheng can't deter Guishuang, and the current situation in the Central Plains is destined that if we choose Xiaosheng, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future." Zhang Song sighed and said.

"After several investigations during this period of time, the Kushan Empire, that is, our former ally Dayue Clan, has grown into an empire with a land of thousands of miles, a population of tens of millions, and a million soldiers. Qin Mi got up and said to everyone, and this simple paper data made everyone's hearts sink.

"What's more important is that Guishan is a unified country, that is, there is no civil strife in the country, and the strength of our Han family may be stronger than that of Guishuang, but if it weren't for the pressure of Taiwei Liu in the country, it would have been a pot of porridge a long time ago." Zhang Song said with a sneer, he was still inclined to Liu Bei.

"Ahem!" Zhang Su coughed twice, signaling Zhang Song to say a few words, he is not a blind man as a brother, from Zhang Song's many actions, he can see that Zhang Song has the intention of fornicating with Liu Bei, if it weren't for Zhang Song's restraint, Zhang Su would have sent Zhang Song to Liu Zhang.

Zhang Song pursed his lips, and his ugly face became even more ugly.

Zhang Song does have a good impression of Liu Bei, although he was inadvertently hit by Zhuge Liang, but now the more he looks at it, the more he feels that Liu Bei has a bright future, but now Liu Zhang has nothing to lose, Zhang Song is not bad, and he is not interested in starting, at most he is a little good.

"Ziqiao, you go on." Zhang Su waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Song to continue.

"The overall strength of our Han family is bound to be above Guishan, although we have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, and the Central Plains chaotic war, but our overall strength is definitely above Guishan, and now the biggest question is that we are the whole?" Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and asked rhetorically.

Yan Yan nodded silently in agreement, and Zhang Song continued to speak, "In the matter of the Northern Xiongnu, what I didn't say, all of us, all the forces of the Han Dynasty are one family, we are a whole, and the power is in one direction, but what about the Northern Xiongnu gone?" ”

"There must be a battle between the three families of Liu Cao and Sun, and if this battle cannot be contained, it will definitely hurt the bones, and now although Liu Taiwei has the advantage, but the strength of Cao Cao and Sun Ce is also estimated in your hearts, and Liu Taiwei may not be able to win lightly." Zhang Song sighed and said.

"What does this have to do with the fact that we have to win?" Yan Yan said with a frown.

"If we win a small victory or draw with Kushan, do you think we will have the heart to covet a prosperous empire?" Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and asked.

"Yes." Although Yan Yan's mind is not as good as Zhang Song, he still knows such things, if the Han Empire, which is so strong in the impression of the Dayue clan that it can suppress them single-handedly, can only be defeated by a small margin now, then it would be strange if there is no dissent.

"The judgment of all of us is also this, and even if they have this kind of thought, they will not attack immediately, wait for the opportunity, and a deeper understanding of us is the way, and the Central Plains behind us, the three families of Liu Cao and Sun will have a battle!" Zhang Song said with a wry smile.

Yan Yan was stunned, he already understood what Zhang Song meant.

"Let's put it this way, we have a small victory and a draw, Guishuang will not do it for a while, but he definitely covets the Central Plains, and it won't be long before the war in the north ends, and the cooperation of the three families of Liu Cao and Sun will come to an end, and when Guishuang figures out the real situation of the Han family, how do you think Guishuang will choose?" Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and asked rhetorically.

"If I stand in the position of Guishan, once I know that the Han family is divided into three points, I will definitely attack the Han family with all my might, and take advantage of the chaos to plunder the land and people." Yan Yan said with a solemn expression.

"That's it, and once the three families of Liu and Cao Sun become a pot of porridge, and Guishuang and us have no blood feud, then the Cao and Sun families may still lead wolves into the house when they are defeated, after all, the Central Plains war has reached that level, and the possibility of breaking through the bottom line is very high." Zhang Song sighed.

"And once something happens to the Cao and Sun families, Taiwei Liu will be alone, and it will be difficult to support it alone, and once the Central Plains War starts, they will not be able to contain it, and there will definitely be many civil and military ministers who will be damaged." Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and said.

"It's a bit far." Zhang Ren suddenly interjected at this time.

"In fact, it is not far, if the trees on the road are cut down, the road is paved, and the soldiers are transported by war horses, it will be possible to arrive in less than a month, and the speed of our march is already very different from that in the previous military books." Zhang Su helped his brother explain.

"In the art of war, it was said that a hundred miles and the one who was interested in it was a general, and fifty miles and the one who was interested in it was half an army, and now, General Zhang, you can forcibly march through a hundred miles, and with the recovery of the essence of heaven and earth, we are very different from what we used to be." Zhang Song shook his head and explained.

"Maybe once our Han family lost its absolute dominance south of Qianwei County, but now, we have built a good road, and it will not take less than a month to send troops from Yizhou to here, and even if we garrison troops in Yongchang and repair the road, it will take less than fifteen days to get here!" Qin Mi said slowly.

"If the road is built into a straight road like Mount Tai, and there are enough horses, our actual ruling area can be advanced to the west and south for nearly three thousand miles, and the border line can be pushed nearly ten thousand miles further." Wang Lei sighed and said, "Times are different. ”

"So if we give Guishan a chance, there is a high possibility that Guishan will come to raid, and in order to avoid this kind of thing, all we can choose is a big victory or a big defeat." Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan without the slightest concealment.

"Big win! Or a big defeat? Yan Yan frowned, the big victory is easy to explain, why is the big defeat?

"Needless to say, if we win a big victory over Guishuang, then even if Guishan detects the chaos of the Han family in the future, he will hesitate to do it, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, only the power of Yizhou will defeat it, so even if the Han family is in chaos, he will be cautious." Zhang Song opened his mouth to explain, and Yan Yan nodded to indicate that he knew this.

"As for the big defeat." Zhang Song looked at the generals present, and all the generals were waiting for the following.

"If there is a big defeat, Guishuang will definitely march into the Han Dynasty, and when hundreds of thousands of troops will be overwhelmed, and dozens of internal qi soldiers will be on the border of the Han Dynasty, and the three families of Liu Cao and Sun will inevitably come to clean up the catastrophe that we broke out." Zhang Song said slowly.

"Now the three families have the basis of cooperation, and there is the friendship of robes, although there have been some contradictions, but they have joined hands to clean up the Northern Huns, and they have not yet separated, or they have not yet turned their faces after sacrificing the Taimiao, as long as Guishan appears, they will inevitably encounter the Han army lineup that the Northern Huns faced at the beginning." Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan's direction and said.

"So, what doubts does General Yan have?" Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and said.

"If you don't have it, just do as you say, a big win or a big defeat." Yan Yan nodded, and all the generals also understood the thoughts of the Wenchen.

This battle must not be a small victory or a draw, only a big victory or a big defeat, this battle is related to the national fortune of the Han Dynasty in the next few years.

Seeing that Zhang Ren and the others all had solemn expressions, Zhang Song clapped his hands again and focused everyone's attention.

"You don't have to have too much psychological burden, the other party must also be thinking about how to deal with our army, unlike us who have backers behind us, the other party's confidence is definitely not as good as ours." Zhang Song's ugly face said with a sense of reassurance.

"They are close to us, and if they want to develop, they can't avoid us no matter what, this battle will only affect the national fortunes for a few years for us, and for them, I am afraid that it will affect a country's strategy for a hundred years, so their pressure is even greater." Zhang Su said to everyone with a smile.

In fact, as early as when the war book was issued, Wang Lei and others had some speculation, they thought that if Guishan accepted the war letter, then Guishan might use this war as a reference to formulate a strategy for the next few decades or even a hundred years.

That is to say, this so-called battle may affect whether Guishan establishes diplomatic relations with the Han family on an equal footing, or whether he is a junior brother of the Han family as he once did, or peeks into the opportunity to surpass the Han family.

For an ordinary person, it is possible to endure hunger, leave behind to grow food, and ensure that they will not go hungry again in the coming year.

For a family, it can be dormant for more than ten years, waiting for the best time to make a splash.

For an empire, it can consume one generation, two generations, and spend a hundred years striving for a goal.

Zhang Song and others believe that the Kushan Empire has the confidence and qualifications to do this, and if the opponent is the Han Empire, it also has the value of doing so, since all the conditions are met, then Zhang Song and others directly determined that this war may affect the Guishan's century-old strategy.

This is a terrible fact, and the outcome of this war will directly affect the strategy of an empire for nearly a hundred years to come.

Therefore, in this battle, Zhang Song and others agreed that victory or defeat on the battlefield was no longer important, and the important point was how to reverse the century-old strategy of the Kushan Empire to a choice favorable to the Han Empire, regardless of victory or defeat during the period.

With such a tone, the focus of Zhang Song and others' thinking has also been deflected, the importance of victory and defeat has been thrown aside, victory is important, but the strategy that affects the Kushan Empire is more valuable for the entire Han Empire,

Also with this tone, Zhang Song and the others also understood that Guishuang might play some small tricks, but in general, it would not make the Han army unable to show combat effectiveness.

Because for the other party, victory or defeat is not important, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is an important factor affecting their strategy, and they need accurate combat effectiveness of the Han army.

No matter how many kingdoms he fights, Guishan can't feel his level of strength, the empire is the empire, and those below this level are small countries that can be destroyed at the disposal of the empire, and only by fighting with the old empire can he know his position.

When the Guishan Empire was founded more than a hundred years ago, Emperor Yan Gaozhen took the Han Empire as a benchmark to position his own strength, and was defeated by the Han Empire in the south of the Green Ridge, and directly gave up the entire Green Ridge and went all the way south.

Now, more than a hundred years later, the Kushan Empire is even more powerful than before, so strong that ordinary kingdoms can no longer verify their strength, and they probably want to know how strong their own strength is.

Now the Han army, which defeated their founding emperor Yan Gaozhen a hundred years ago in the Green Mountains, single-handedly defeated Ban Chao, has appeared in front of them again, even if the Han army does not come to inform them, they will go to war!

Because the Kushan Empire must want to know how much they have grown in the past hundred years, and the Han Empire is their benchmark. (To be continued.) )
