Deep down, Popguli didn't think that this war with Maharaja would be won, and he followed Maharazo to raise an army and pursue the root cause, but he was forced to do so.

The Gulaqin grassland and the Zhula tribe on the banks of the Heishui River are feuds, and as the leader of the Gulaqin grassland, Spoguli understood from the beginning that the Western Liang Empire can be ruled by anyone, but it is absolutely impossible to allow people with the blood of the Zhula tribe to be in power, and Mahara is from the Zhula concubine, as long as Mahara is in power, the Shi tribe will definitely suffer disasters.

Mahaluo's temperament, as the golden patriarch of the Nashi tribe, Na Popgul knew that if Maharaja was a broad-minded person, then Popguli might still hesitate to raise an army.

But Mahara is a person who must repay his flaws, and he has always had a hostile mood towards the Gulaqin grassland, which is naturally influenced by Concubine Zhula.

So that Popguli can only choose to become the enemy of Mahaluo, Mahazang has the blood of the tribe of Nashi flowing in his body, when Maha Zang comes, then Popguli can only choose to follow Mahara, he knows that this time to follow Mahara, it is very dangerous, that is to suppress the fate of the entire tribes of the Gulaqin grassland.

In the face of the much stronger Mahala, even the Spoguli himself could hardly believe that the Gulaqin grassland would achieve the final victory, and his greatest hope was that under the leadership of Mahazang, he could block the sharp edge of Mahaluo, stalemate with Mahara's army in the vast Gulaqin grassland, and finally force Mahara to negotiate peace.

That Popguli felt that although Maharaja was now aggressively leading his troops to come, he believed that the king of Xiliang would never sit idly by and watch this civil strife continue, and there were still 100,000 troops of Xiliang in Qin, if this civil strife in the country lasted too long, it would cause immeasurable harm to Xiliang, and even make the entire Xiliang country fall apart.

It is precisely for this reason that the king of Xiliang may be angry with Mahazang now, so he acquiesced to lead the army to capture Mahazang, but as long as the king of Xiliang realized the harm caused by this war once it lasted for a long time, he believed that he would soon order Mahara to withdraw his troops, and at that time, then Sboguli could take the opportunity to make a request. In order to ensure that the Gulaqin grassland was worry-free, he even thought of using Mahazang as a banner to strive for greater autonomy in the Gulaqin grassland.

But Chu Huan claimed at this moment that Montenegro might be a place to turn defeat into victory, but he felt that this young man really dared to say anything, frowned and asked, "Turn defeat into victory?" Chu Huan, why do you have such an assertion? ”

"The Great Patriarch has misunderstood, this is not an assertion, but a possibility." Chu Huan's eyes were just staring at the map: "What Chu Huan means, if it is a decisive battle with Mahara's cavalry corps on the flat grassland, there is almost no possibility of victory, but once you retreat to Montenegro and deploy well, there is a possibility of turning defeat into victory!" ”

A person next to him said: "Mr. Chu, it's not that I have the ambition of others, but I think that Mahaluo's army came all the way from Qingluo City, he marched very fast, non-stop, and when he arrived at the Gulaqin grassland, the physical consumption must be very large, and the people were sleepy and lacking horses, if we catch up at this time, wait for the northern part of the Gulaqin grassland, and wait until the Mahara soldiers and horses arrive, then attack the past with the main force, my Gulaqin grassland warriors are extremely brave, and they may not be able to hit the cavalry of Moheluo." ”

"It is said that the king of the Northern Courtyard, Maha Vajra, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill as a vanguard." A tall man next to him said, "Let's set up a formation in the north and wait for ......!" This person also pointed to the map with his finger and clicked three times in a row: "Ambush the people and horses on both sides, and one of the people and horses deliberately lead the Maha Vajra, and wait until the Maha Vajra's men and horses are killed, lead the way, outflank both sides, and kill the Maha Vajra by surprise, and my Gulaqin warriors will surely win!" ”

Chu Huan glanced at the man, his face was expressionless, and he thought to himself that you still know how to ambush and outflank.

Suo Habu Yuan bowed his head slightly beside him and said, "Prince, this is a method. Maharaja and Maha Vajra came with a large army, they are outnumbered, and they will definitely despise us, if we kill him by surprise, as long as we defeat Maharaja's vanguard soldiers, Mahara's army will inevitably waver. ”

Mahazang thought for a moment, looked at Chu Huan, and asked, "Brother, what do you think?" ”

"The eldest prince, not to mention whether you can annihilate the 10,000 pioneers of Maha Vajra in one battle, even if you defeat Maha Vajra's men and horses, and then what?" Chu Huan groaned slightly, and said slowly: "Mahara still has tens of thousands of horses, and the rout of the vanguard may greatly hit their morale, but will he withdraw because of the rout of the vanguard?" ”

Mahazang shook his head.

"The eldest prince is wise." Chu Huan said: "The rout of the vanguard is very likely to make Mahara even more angry, let's not forget, kill 10,000 enemies, lose 8,000 yourself, if you really defeat the vanguard of Maha Vajra, the main force of the Gulaqin grassland itself will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and Mahara's soldiers and horses will be killed quickly, and it will be too late to retreat when the time comes." ”

Sohabu Yuan said: "What does Mr. Chu mean, we still have to retreat to Montenegro?" But if you really retreat to Montenegro, it is very likely that you will be besieged by Mahara's soldiers and horses, and it is impossible to be caught off guard by the other party. ”

Chu Huan said: "Everyone, with a weak enemy and a strong enemy, you can't be in a hurry, you can only stabilize the defense first, and then look for a fighter to win." Although the three mountains of Montenegro are not impregnable, they can become important places for defense if they are well deployed. ”

Mahazang finally asked, "Good brother, if we retreat to Montenegro, will we really have a chance to turn defeat into victory?" ”

"Naturally, there is." Chu Huan said: "Soldiers are impermanent, and the form on the battlefield can never be completely determined. The Mahara came with a momentum, which was completely different from the situation in the Gulaqin steppe. This side is already in a weak position, even if it loses one or two battles, if it is prepared, it will not have a fatal impact on morale, but if it can win for a while, even if it is a small victory, it will definitely inspire the whole army. On the contrary, it is the soldiers and horses of Mahara who are strong, and if they win, it is natural that they will not have much incentive for morale, but if they lose for a while, their morale will be severely ......! Pointing to the map, he said: "Scattered on the hills, forming three independent battlefields, as long as the Gulaqin warriors win a victory on any of the hills, they can inspire the whole army." ”

That Sboguli has been silent, but he bowed his head slightly, compared to Sohabu Yuanzhen and others tend to take the initiative to attack, that Sboguli hopes that this civil war will cause as little damage and loss to the Gulaqin grassland as possible, in fact, he also feels in his heart that compared to the vanguard that attacked Maha Vajra, it is really better to hold on to Montenegro.

As long as Montenegro holds out for a while and resists Maharo's attack, the situation will inevitably change.

"Chu Huan, although it is okay to use Montenegro as a defensive zone, can we really defend it?" Na Sboguli asked: "Turbeg rebellion, our combat strength has been greatly weakened, the army of Mahara will have a great advantage in numbers at that time, and the Zhula tribe in the south can send at least 10,000 horses, their troops are too manpower, even if we occupy Montenegro, but it is really extremely difficult to hold it." Staring at Chu Huan, he asked, "Do you have a good strategy for defense?" ”

That Popguli listened to Chu Huan's previous words quite reasonable, and really hoped that Chu Huan could come up with a good countermeasure, he didn't expect to be able to defeat Mahaluo's army, as long as he could have a countermeasure to stabilize the defense and resist Mahaluo, he would be satisfied.

Chu Huan pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "Eldest Prince, there is a question, I don't know whether to ask it or not!" ”

"You say!"

"In addition to the existing men and horses in his hands, can Mahara mobilize more people and horses?"

Mahazang thought for a while before he said: "He already has 10,000 cavalry in Babaitu and 15,000 cavalry in Tariq, and when he marches here, he passes through various tribes in the Qingluo steppe along the way...... As for the other gold tribes, except for the Zhula tribe, which will inevitably attack from the south, the other gold tribes will not act rashly, once the road is far away, Maharaja is in a hurry to march, even if the gold tribes want to follow Mahara, it is too late in time. Secondly...... Hehe, Mahala is not popular everywhere, and now the situation is unclear, as long as those golden tribes have a little brain, they will not be easily involved. ”

Chu Huan's head, Mahazang is true, among the major gold tribes, except for the Zhula tribe to maintain Mahaluo, the Nashi tribe to maintain Mahazang, these two major gold tribes will inevitably be involved, and the other gold tribes can see very clearly, this civil strife is actually a battle for the throne of the two princes, although now Mahalo's strength is stronger than Mahazang, but no one dares to guarantee that Mahara will achieve the final victory.

No golden tribe would be able to strain the future of the entire tribe and get involved in this fight.

"In other words, Mahara has the most hands, and he can only mobilize the five thousand Tariq cavalry who remain in Qingluo City?"

Mahazang clenched his fists and said, "Then it depends on whether he has the guts." He left 5,000 cavalry on the side of Qingluo City, because he was worried that there would be changes in the rear, and the 5,000 cavalry would never be easily mobilized until it was absolutely necessary. ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Chu Huan understands. The Babaitu cavalry, Mahara could not be completely controlled, and the Tariq cavalry, he did not dare to mobilize all of them, so he mobilized 15,000 Tariq and 10,000 Babaitu. Passing through the Qingluo grassland, he will also recruit the young and middle-aged people of the various tribes he passes through into his army...... The Zhula tribe in the south mobilized 10,000 troops ......! ”

That Popguli heard that Chu Huan was calculating the troops, and he didn't understand for a while, so he frowned and asked, "Chu Huan, what do you want to say?" ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said: "The eldest prince, if you don't do anything else, Mahara's strength will naturally be far above the eldest prince, but ...... If there is a strategy that makes it possible to halve Mahara's forces, then the pressure to hold on to Montenegro should be much easier. ”

"Halving the troops?" Mahazang was stunned, and the rest of the people were also surprised.
