Xia Hongsheng and Cheng Yanjin combined, Da Shi faced the land army of the Tang Dynasty, and would definitely not go around Egypt to cross the Red Sea.

Because the Tang Dynasty's army will land in the kingdom of Sanlan and Shunai, this place is basically close to the location of Somalia in later generations. And the Great Food's conquest of Egypt, because Persia was not so unbearable under the iron cavalry of the Great Food as in the original history, but because of the operation and help of the Tang Dynasty, it withstood the crazy attack of the Great Food. This brought the Great Eclipse's conquest of Egypt forward.

But it was just beginning, so he couldn't make it through Egypt to Somalia.

"Governor, generals, the Great Food will come from the land to the kingdom of Sanlan and Shunai, and it will pass through Egypt. And when the two countries are at war, how will Egypt let the Great Food Army pass by? Xia Hongsheng carefully analyzed Cheng Yanjin and said: "Let's not say that Egypt has not been completely occupied by the Great Eclipse at the moment, even if it will not encounter the resistance of the Egyptian locals along the way, the time on the road alone is enough for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to gain a firm foothold on land and give them a place to work." ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng pointed to the location of the Somali Strait on the map and continued: "Therefore, Da Shi will directly send the army from here across the Red Sea by boat to fight against the Tang Dynasty soldiers." This is the most convenient, the closest, and the fastest way. ”

"Then what if Da Shi doesn't care about these troops of our Datang, but faces our Datang army across the Red Sea?" A general under Cheng Yanjin asked.

Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes, and Xia Hongsheng shook his head and smiled: "That's better, that's more beneficial to Datang." Datang can develop directly in Somalia, that is, the Sanlan Kingdom, and even build a port in the Somali Strait, and develop rapidly on the side of the couch of the big food - however, with the conceit of the big food, I am afraid it will not do this. ”

"If we allow the power of our Datang to develop and grow in places like Sanlan Country and Shunai Kingdom, then the moat thousands of miles away between Dashi and Datang will never exist. Persia, which was supported by Datang, still made Da Shi unable to defeat it, not to mention that Da Tang directly developed to the doorstep of Da Shi? Da Shi is not a fool and will not sit idly by. Su Dingfang said: "General Zhang, the situation you said is absolutely impossible to happen. ”

Xia Hongsheng was promised by Li Shimin the right to choose his own generals, and this time he picked his own group of acquaintances of the younger generation. After arriving in Tianzhu, he also asked for all the gentlemen.

Therefore, it is not fear, but the great food will not turn a blind eye. Even if you ignore Egypt or even Persia first, you will definitely concentrate your forces first and eradicate the Tang forces that are trying to gain a foothold in the land of Sanlan and Shunai. Xia Hongsheng nodded, and said: "In addition, the most convenient road between the two places is to transport the army through the Somali Strait of the Red Sea, which is not too wide, with a naval division. Therefore, Ben will almost be sure that once Datang's army lands and garrisons in the places of Sanlan and Shunai, Da Shi will immediately gather sailors, mobilize troops, and transport troops from the Somali Strait to fight, taking advantage of the fact that Datang has just arrived here, has not yet gained a foothold, and the foundation is unstable, and eradicate it as soon as possible. ”

"Well...... At that time, only the Tang soldiers of the Sanlan Kingdom will form a stalemate with Da Shi, and use the tactics of suspicious soldiers to make Da Shi think that Da Shi has an unstable foothold, and he only needs to increase his troops to defeat the Da Tang army. Then the Great Food will continue to increase its troops. As the number of troops increases, more warships will be needed to transport troops, and more and more large water eaters will gather here. Cheng Yanjin stared at the map and said: "When the time is ripe, only the Datang Navy needs to surprise from the sea, first bombard the Great Food Army gathered on the opposite shore waiting to be transported, and then bombard its naval warships at sea." Then across the Red Sea, the Tang army of the Sanlan Kingdom also launched a counterattack at the same time, and drove the Great Food army to the sea, so that they could attack each other and eat the army that had crossed the shore. ”

"If this strategy is successful, the Great Water Eater will definitely be wiped out, and there will not be much movement, and because a large number of troops are gathered here, it will inevitably be severely damaged and lose a lot of vitality." Xia Hongsheng said: "At that time, the Tang army of the Sanlan Kingdom was transported across the Red Sea by naval warships, attacking the mainland of Dashi. Because of the occupation of the mouth of the Red Sea, after the Tang army landed on the mainland of Dashi, it could also obtain supplies through the naval fleet to provide logistics needs. The materials can be transported by ship to the three ports of Persia and Mumbai, and can also be transferred from the three Lans to Dashi in the future. ”

"Chief Xia, although this strategy is good, everything is based on Datang's landing in Sanlan Kingdom." Li Chongyi asked, "But what if the Sanlan Kingdom doesn't let it?" ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, damn, he forgot that the size of Sanlan Country is also a country. The Tang Dynasty is too powerful, and places like the Sanlan Kingdom, which have not yet been civilized and are similar to the savage tribes, were automatically ignored by themselves!

Alas, the big countries are in the game, and the small countries are all pawns. Before you know it, you forget to take it into account. This is great power chauvinism!

Before Xia Hongsheng could speak, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and said, "Sanlan Guo doesn't need to think too much. Although it is called Sanlan Country, it is what we call it. There is no country in their own country, but a group of uncivilized savages, gathered by a tribe. I may have seen the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and I thought I had seen the gods descend to earth. ”

"How does the chief know?" Xia Hongsheng said curiously.

"I'm afraid Mr. Xia doesn't know yet." The lieutenant general under the command of Cheng Yanjin replied: "When Mumbai builds a port, many ships of maritime merchants will occasionally dock. There are many Kunlun slaves above, and they have talked about the Sanlan Kingdom, the Shunai Kingdom and the like. Listening to it, it seems that they have no sense of home and country, but only tribes gather, men hunt, women gather, and the tribes are evenly divided. Both men and women have no idea of family loyalty, and live together. ”

Cheng Yanjin waved his hand very indifferently and said: "If Sanlan Kingdom is acquainted, our Datang will not bully people, give them some clothes and food, and teach them to grow the land, so that they don't have to drink blood." If you don't know each other, what kind of storm can a group of wild men with stones and sticks as weapons rise? Something at hand. ”

Something to do at hand? So an understatement?

Regarding Cheng Yanjin's casual words, Xia Hongsheng seemed to smell a stream of blood.

"If the generals have no objection, they will make this policy and act according to it." Xia Hongsheng slowly glanced around and said, "What do you think, Mr. Cheng?" ”

He was the chief of the march of the navy this time, and Cheng Yanjin was the chief of the march of Mumbai, and the two discussed the strategy of cooperation, but it was led by Xia Hongsheng, so Xia Hongsheng made the decision.

"The old man thinks this is a good strategy." Cheng Yanjin said: "Do according to the policy." Please give the order to Mr. Xia! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and saw that everyone had no objections, so he said: "In this case, the generals will listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!" The generals said in unison.
