Chapter 27: The Army of the World
This rough paper is the famous Caihou paper in Luoyang.
What is depicted on the paper is drawn by his reference system "Sheji Mountains and Rivers".
Not for precision, but for completeness.
Compared with the maps made by later generations according to the prescribed scales, his drawings are almost child's play.
It's just that this child's play map suddenly attracted the generals.
"This, this is my Han mountains and rivers territory?"
Bao Xin was drunk and obsessed, staring at the river ink line above.
Here he is the oldest, and comparatively, he has walked the most......
When it comes to maps, he understands.
But what he has seen is limited to sketches of a certain place.
And what depicts the entire Han territory so comprehensively, he has never seen or heard of it.
It is very likely that this map is the only complete map of the Han Dynasty in the world today.
Its preciousness can be imagined.
"Uh-huh! This is the current national territory of my Dahan...... You see, our current location, Luoyang, is here. ”
Zhang Kang towards a point on the map.
"Let's talk about it! What do you think of our location? ”
"Jingshi, it is indeed the center of the world!" Chun Yuqiong made a slight comparison and couldn't help sighing!
"These locations are the territory of our neighbors? ...... Isn't it small? Do you say it's not good for them to go out? Why do you always invade my big man? ”
Zhang Liao pointed to the locations of later generations, including Inner and Outer Mongolia, the Western Front, and Southeast Asia.
The land of China has been fighting with these foreigners since ancient times.
Zhang Liao has been neighbors with Xianbei since he was a child, and he is accustomed to horses and animal husbandry in the wild. Having experienced countless border wars, I have a deep feeling for these foreigners.
"Big brother, you want to know, I'll tell you slowly in the future."
Zhang Kang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Sure enough, he is the head of the five good generals, and the overall situation is very good!
As a Han Chinese, it is necessary to be on guard against these alien races on horseback at all times.
"You see, right now the coalition forces are at Bishui Pass. Dong thief wants to prevent Luoyang, and only the tiger prison is left to rely on. What does this mean? ”
Zhang Kang taught patiently and purely.
This is related to his next plan of action, and it must not be sloppy.
Normally, a commander's strategic goal, battle plan, direct instructions, subordinates to execute.
What a pity!
What kind of coach is he now?
The relationship with the generals is only based on the subordinate relationship under the Han Empire.
When the plan goes beyond this relationship, especially if he can't explain why in detail, he can only slowly explain the situation.
"Luoyang extends in all directions...... Is it the same as that Dong Thief can only win this battle and not lose? Is there no danger to defend if you lose? ”
Zhang Liao muttered, and suddenly pointed to the map and said.
"That's right!" Zhang Kang secretly praised in his heart.
Your uncle! Zhang Liao is really not in vain.
He came to a conclusion based on the historical trend and the great deception of countless experts in later generations, and he did not think that Zhang Liao would understand this truth after only studying the map for a while.
"You see, Luoyang's defense is all in the surrounding areas, including Bishui Pass, Tiger Prison Pass and several other satellite cities. Once the satellite city is lost, Luoyang alone will not be able to hold on. Especially against Dong thieves. ”
"The coalition wins, and more and more princes will respond to the coalition. After a little longer, Luoyang can be completely surrounded, forming a situation where water is impassable. ”
Zhang Kang spoke eloquently, observing the expressions of the generals.
"Luoyang, because of its geographical location, is ideal to serve as a political, cultural and economic center when it is a radiating sphere of influence within a radius of thousands of miles. This is also the reason why our Han Empire built Luoyang as Kyoto. ”
"On the other hand, if Dong is a thief, without the support of the princes of all parties, once defeated, retreating to Luoyang is tantamount to a dead city for him......"
Seeing that everyone was still silent, Zhang Kang simply muttered to himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have to tell you a brutal truth. No matter what victory is in that regard, it is a fatal situation for our Xiyuan forbidden army to be caught in the middle. Dong Thief wins, and when he turns back, he will break up Xiyuan and rush into his Xiliang army to replenish the losses. ”
"And the victory of the coalition army, once Luoyang is captured, it will inevitably plan the Xiyuan Forbidden Army as a Dong thief and forcibly disband. In this way, it does not affect the distribution of their benefits. Ha! Who made us the Nexus of the Empire! In the imperial capital, they are inherently governed......"
Zhang Kang paused again and asked them to digest this rhetoric!
As for whether this statement is true or not, who knows!
He just had to and selectively predict what might turn out to be a reality in his own plans!
"General, in this case, no matter how hard we try, we are hopeless?"
Chun Yuqiong cried with a sad face.
For the common people, what will he do to marry the mother-in-law of the Jian family!
"Trees die, people live!"
Zhang Kang slapped the table and stood up.
"Do you know how to gamble? There is a cloud in chess language: golden horn and silver edge grass belly. Luoyang is in the center of the empire, in a chaotic world, before there is no strong force to control it, Jingshi is a proper grass belly, not suitable for our stable development. ”
"Therefore, I need you to work together to take this place, store the last trace of strength for the Great Han, and eventually develop it into an army that can help the world."
Zhang Kang pointed to a corner of the map, righteously.
"Is that okay? Aren't we directly at odds with the coalition? ”
Bao Xinyu said hesitantly.
He didn't object to what Zhang Kang said, but he was worried that the 20,000 forbidden troops in Xiyuan would be hard to carry with nearly 300,000 allied troops?
Okay, huh?
"Captain Bao is too worried. First, we are not grabbing territory, but we will ask Your Majesty for a decree to rule the land together with the magistrates. Second, if something is correct...... Alas! ”
Zhang Kang let out a long sigh.
"This land will be full of smoke!" Zhang Kang raised his hand and slowly swept across the map.
"Oh General, I'm dying. Tell us quickly, and we will start from there......"
Zhu Ling was confused.
Come and go, you know that Luoyang can't stay anymore, and you have to grab other people's territory.
Grab it! So what?
Others can come to Luoyang to rob them, and they can naturally go to other people's houses to snatch them back.
"Please command, General!"
Yu Ban didn't bother to think about it.
Strategic goals are something that the general has to consider. As a soldier, fighting is the top priority, and the rest is only to obey orders!
Bao Xin straightened his posture and said in a loud voice: "General, please give an order." ”
"Good, good! Rest assured, everybody. The project is carried out in several batches, and the time span is long, so it is necessary to keep the tone of the talk. ”
Military aircraft must not be leaked!
Knowing that this is the primary quality of a soldier, Zhang Kang still couldn't help but explain.
"Zhang Liao, Zhu Ling, the two of you can lead the sword army and set off tomorrow night. Well, yes, Zhu Ling, you immediately send a message to operate the army, and those whose families are in Luoyang can first arrange to stay in the Beibi Mountain camp, and this news must be notified to the whole army. ”
"Zhang Liao, my request is to take down the target at the lowest cost, and the strategy is not to treat the target as an enemy. It's up to you to decide how to handle the details. Go get ready! ”
Zhang Kang fell back into thought.
Chun Yuqiong, Bao Xin, and Yu Ban looked at Zhang Kang with blank eyes.
What's next?
Why is the general not below?
