·“ The problem is much trickier than you think. ”

Suning sat cross-legged with a big rock, first glanced up at the nearby peaks and snow, and then lowered his head to take out the map and pressed his finger at a position on it.

"Kohistan, this is where we are now, in the upper reaches of the Kabul River, surrounded by mountain peaks, like Millsamir Peak, which is more than 6,000 meters above sea level, almost 30 degrees. Located in the vicinity of the Dora Pass and the Hisbar Pass, it is an important communication channel between Badakhshan in the north and Kabul in the south. It is also an important route from the middle of the Hindu Kush Mountains southward into the Indus River Plain. After our communication with Baloch and Sindh, it is very likely that we will have to enter based on this passage, the mountains in the east are too high, and the west is a little too high, and it is close to the control of the Sabbatical Empire, in fact, even this place is not very safe, after all, the advance of the Sabbatical Empire has already invaded the capital of the Kushan Empire, which we marked on the map as Kambul, but now calls it Gao. ”

"That's too dangerous." Li Yu said, "We must reach peace talks with the Sabbatarian Empire as soon as possible, otherwise...... Our formations in the south, as well as the subsequent production and construction, will be directly threatened by the Resting Empire. ”

"That's right." Of course, Suning knew the stakes in this, but he was still thinking about the situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the autumn of 188 AD would come soon, and his expedition in this area would probably end soon. But the next beloved war and production and construction will drag down most of his troops, if he can't draw the main force in time to participate in that chaotic situation, then his development in the Eastern Han Dynasty will lose a strong base, "Our population is still too small!" This largely limits the size of our army. If there is no Guanzhong, and the dense population there, the future development of the Liangzhou system will inevitably be greatly limited, and I need to get the Guanzhong area, where the Han people will become the foundation of my future state. Otherwise, at the rate of our expansion on the Western Front, we will soon lose a relatively stable backup, and I don't mean stability in the law and order situation, but stability in culture and customs. ”

"I understand!" After all, Li Yu came from the Tang Dynasty, which was culturally tolerant and had a complex ethnic situation. He was still quite clear about the Dao of this, "But you can't draw too many troops to participate in the battle for Guanzhong now." And the Rest Empire's military operations do not seem to have stopped now. If they continue to develop, there is a high probability that they will attack the areas that we have occupied, in which case a large-scale war is inevitable, and as I told you earlier, there needs to be a negotiation between the two countries, and negotiations are generally a product of war. ”

"I know what you think. However, the war is not something that can be fought, although we have been operating in the Western Regions for two years, but the construction achievements in the past two years are quite weak, he cannot support it, and we are too impulsive on the battlefield on the Western Front, so this political action to promote peace by fighting must be fully and rationally arranged, and in addition, preparations for the Guanzhong region also need to be carried out earlier. ”

Li Yu, a famous historical general, is above his personal force, and it is just a temporary choice, basically not to mention the ancient and modern, if Li Cunxiao stands in front of Suning, the evaluation he gets is definitely not like this. But his IQ is obviously very likely to be underestimated because of his force value, after all, it is not only a guy with developed limbs who can come up with such a surprise attack strategy as Caizhou on a snowy night.

So after he was summoned by Suning, he quickly understood the exclusive strategy that Suning is now pursuing as an entrepreneur, and for him, he is also a time-traveler who has gone back 500 years, so it doesn't take too much time to integrate into the role.

Therefore, after Suning threw out his dilemma, he quickly came up with a decent strategy for the other party. I only heard him say slowly: "When I used to study, I always admired Chen Qingzhi, but I didn't expect that when I first came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I met this long-admired god of war." It's a pity that his light seems to have been overshadowed by Wei Huo, so that for so many days, I haven't seen his wonderful performance. ”

"But he's in the Chu River valley, near the Fernagan Basin, and he's helping me prune the broken leaves."

"Yes, a person who is in charge of repairing the city, I'm afraid the other party will not think that he will pose a danger to himself, not to mention, his current location is still separated from the Khorasan region of the Sabbath Empire by a river region."

Suning understood what he said, and it turned out that this was the goal of the operation, and it was the Khorasan region used by the Anxi Empire to defend against the nomadic tribes in the northwest.

Who do they defend against? At least for now, it's mostly Khorezm!

"I see, then call our old friends and go to the Hulushan area together, and the Sogdians in the river who have just surrendered to us may as well be tied to the chariot together."

"That's right!" Li Yu laughed, but his plan was not over yet, "Once the battle on the northern front starts, and the rest army that is currently participating in the attack on the core area of the Kushan Empire on the battlefield on the central front, you will definitely urgently retreat to the Mansion area, and then move northwest to support the Khorasan region." ”

"That way, our chance on the battlefield in the middle line has come, right?"

"Not only that, but our opportunity on the southern front has also come, because their military deployment on the southern front is the weakest. Gedrosia is not a strategic location, but for us you might as well take it into your hands. ”

"In short, we want to make them tired, we are prepared for it, if we act resolutely, we are not afraid of not being able to take them!"

"Yes, but our goal is to legally affirm that the Indus Plain is within our sphere of influence, including Kabul and the west side of Kabul, which is now being contested, and the edifice area that is easier to connect north and south, and that the Sogdians in the middle of the river, although they are resentful of our occupation of their nomadic areas, we still believe that such a strategic priority should not be given to this group of guys, this is our ambition, I am afraid to stop in front of Khorezm, they are still our allies in the future, Perhaps they could be developed into a vassal state in the future, which could be used against the Khorasan region of the Sabbath Empire. ”

"Okay, then follow this negotiation requirement! Anyway, there is still nearly a year before Dong Zhuo takes control of the government, and the princes unite to crusade against him, and I don't necessarily need to participate in person. ”
