Chapter 755: Di Qing's Plan
readx;
And Bai Yutang's persistence in Bahanna has won Di Qing plenty of time, and the current war can be said to have entered a node, and both sides are proceeding according to their own style of play, and whoever can succeed at this time will be able to control the rhythm of the war in their hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
What Chen Yuan has to do is to ensure the supplies on the front line. The Arabs have blocked all the roads, but this does not mean that Chen Yuan can be idle. There is no blockade in this world that cannot be broken, but Chen Yuan has to think of some other ways.
During this period of time, the Song Dynasty has been in contact with some small tribes of the Black Khan, although most of these small tribes have also sent troops by Arabs, but that is because they are afraid of the huge strength of the Arabs, and they are also afraid of the Song army.
When two great powers are contested, these small countries tend to adopt some vacillating strategies to avoid falling victim to the confrontation between the great powers. Just as many of the leaders on the Uighur border today are in contact with the Arabs.
Those tribes of black sweat will always have a little leeway for the Song army, as long as Chen Yuan's work is done properly, he can still go over a little. At the same time, the news brought by these tribes had become the only source for Chen Yuan to get the situation in Bahanna.
Their asking price is very high, the supplies go their way, and the toll is almost the value of the entire fleet. Also, the leaders of those tribes arbitrarily take their share, and they take as much as they want, and keep as much as they want.
Often transported 1,000 catties of grain, and in the hands of the Song army on the front line, there were only less than 3 or 400 catties left. Even so, not a single grain of food could be delivered to the Bahanna region, let alone the supplies that had been consumed by the fighting.
Chen Yuan looked at the pile of materials in front of him that had not been sent to the past, and his brows furrowed. Qadir Khan was still blaming Di Qing, but Chen Yuan was already able to understand Di Qing's plight, and the Uighurs and Tibetans were not willing to pay their blood to open up the supply route!
Chen Yuan knew very well what these people were thinking now in their hearts, first of all, they wanted to benefit from the war, and they wanted to defeat the Black Khan Empire. At the same time, they were afraid that once the Song army's forces entered the Western Regions, it would cause losses to their interests.
Therefore, these people were agitating the Song Dynasty and the Arabs to fight, shouting for unconditional support for the Song Dynasty, but in fact, their support only stayed on the surface. There is no willingness to go out and separate from the Arabs.
For them, the best outcome was that the Song Dynasty defeated the Arabs, but they were greatly damaged and unable to manage the Western Regions. Their interests can be maximized.
People do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake, and the country is even more so. Chen Yuan deeply understood this truth, Di Qing was right, if the Song Dynasty wanted to re-enter the Western Regions, it must not use other people's shoulders as a cornerstone, and the Song Dynasty needed a bridgehead of its own.
His eyes looked at Kadir Khan: "King, you can rest assured about the affairs of the front line, we are sure." ”
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, a Uighur general suddenly ran in from the outside, and said as he ran: "Great King, the Song army has sent a messenger!" ”
Chen Yuan was very excited when he heard this, and his whole body suddenly jumped: "Where else?" ”
Kadir Khan also stood up: "Bring it quickly!" ”
This time, the messenger was sent by Di Qing, and there was no news of Bahanna, because Di Qing did not know what the current situation was there. He just estimated that Chen Yuan was coming, so he wrote a letter to Chen Yuan, which said that Di Qing's general deployment and strategic deployment for the next period of time had been made.
This plan is already very different from the plan that Di Qing said when he was in Zhongjing. Di Qing told Chen Yuan that the Seljuk Turks were not as strong as he thought, and the current Turks were not the warriors who could shake the Tang frontier in the early Tang Dynasty.
They relied on excellent strategy to win the Arabs, but the strategies and tactics in their heads, when facing the Song army, they obviously lacked confidence. Di Qing told Chen Yuan that he was sure to win this battle at the lowest cost.
Maybe Di Qing's self-comforting ingredient was in it, but Chen Yuan still smiled, and after reading the first page, his heart was much lighter.
On the second page, Di Qing said his plans for the future. Re-entry into Central Asia was bound to be a lengthy process, and in Diqing's plan, the completion of this strategy could take ten years. Within ten years, not only militarily, but also economically and culturally, Central Asia should be completely turned into a helper on the side of the Great Song Dynasty. Only in this way could the later Song Dynasty seek hegemony in the Middle East by taking advantage of the contradictions between the Chola, the Arabs, the Seljuk Turks, and those countries in the West.
Within ten years, Di Qing planned to fight five campaigns, and the battle for Bakanna was only the first stage. At this stage, the Song dynasty had to complete the task of capturing the bridgehead, and at the same time inflict as much damage as possible on the Arab forces and undermine his prestige in the Black Khan.
It's almost done now. Di Qing said that when this battle was completed, he would personally come back to coordinate the troops of the vassal state and prepare for the second battle immediately.
Within half a year, the Song army would take the dismemberment of the Black Khan Empire as its main task, Di Qing meant to give part of the territory of the current Black Khan Empire to the Uighurs and Tibetans, and part of it to let them read and become the sweet potatoes of the Song Dynasty. There is also a part that must remain in the hands of the Song army itself, turning into an "enclave" far from the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, Di Qing didn't use the word enclave, but that's what he meant, as for how to do it, Di Qing hoped that Chen Yuan could arrange someone to help him.
At this stage of the campaign, the goal was to dismember the Black Khan Empire, and the Arabs would certainly not sit idly by, and the Song army would continue to fight, but Di Qing believed that the Song Dynasty could focus on defense and attack the Seljuk lair with Mongol mercenaries to achieve the goal of hitting the opponent hard.
When this goal was accomplished, the Arabs could not afford to take care of the Black Khan within three years, and the Song army could take the initiative to negotiate with the Arabs to gain valuable time to stabilize the results of the war.
If the Arabs are to be completely defeated, the war needs to be continued. When the Song army has taken a breath and stabilized in Central Asia, the third phase of the campaign can be launched, which is also the stage of the decisive battle, with the aim of completely defeating the Arab army and effectively annihilating their living forces, so that this giant who can block the footsteps of the Great Song Dynasty will fall!
Then there was the Fourth Campaign, which was aimed primarily at weakening the territory of the Arabs, minimizing the Arab ability to recover from the war, and it would be best if it could break up a huge Arab one.
The last stage is that the Song army one by one to clean up those Arabs who have become a plate of scattered sand, this stage is relatively easy, military means are only threats, Di Qing believes that using political and economic means to achieve such results as Dongying, Goryeo is the best.
After reading Di Qing's plan, Chen Yuan was really happy. It's not that this plan is perfect, the key is that Di Qing is really good, and he is obviously not a simple general now. Although he takes war as his profession, Di Qing already knows very well that war is only for some invisible things.
However, Chen Yuan also had a faint sense of loss in his heart, such a wonderful plan, a huge project of ten years, but he could only participate in the first or second stage.
Closing Di Qing's letter, Chen Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh, and Kadir Khan next to him looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Master Horse, but what's the bad news on the front line?" ”
Chen Yuan knew that he had misunderstood his sigh, and he didn't explain anything, looking at the messenger of the Song Dynasty: "You don't have to go back, I'll write you a letter, send it back to Bianjing quickly, report the good news to the emperor, and say, the Western Regions can be determined." ”
The messenger didn't know what Di Qing wrote at all, and now after listening to Chen Yuan's words, he only felt that the saddle horse fatigue along the way had disappeared, and he clenched his fists excitedly: "Yes!" ”
Bianjing, the wind, finally blowing.
Because Su Xiaoyou made a move. Su Xiaoyou, a woman, is also a woman from an official eunuch's family, although many scholars and doctors say that she is a "song record", but this is obviously biased. Her background is not as beautiful as everyone's ladies, at least she is a small jasper.
However, she has done a song record, if she hadn't met Lu Yijian, maybe she would really have to make a song in her life.
People who have had such an experience can know how to cherish happiness, and they care more about their own happiness. Su Yan too, he was in prison, and he almost couldn't get out that time, so he didn't want to go to jail again! When Han Qi took the Yang Commander to send the letter to Su Yan, the Guotai who was already in a half-drunk state woke up suddenly!
When it was almost time in the evening, he went to the palace to see his daughter in his clothes.
Su Xiaoyou was also in a cold sweat after reading Shen Rui's letter! It seemed that Pang Guifei's heart-rending shout suddenly sounded in his ears.
"No, no!" Su Xiaoyou didn't want to be the second Pang Guifei, and she didn't want to go back to the past! She barely thought about it, and the next day when Renzong went to court, she secretly came out and went to see Shen Rui.
Then, Su Xiaoyou made a move.
Everything is like this, Fan Chunyou can't make a storm no matter how much trouble he makes, and he can't make a slap. Also, Fan Chunyou's energy has obviously not reached the point where it can set off storms, but it was different as soon as Su Xiaoyou made a move.
The first to bear the brunt was the Fujiwara Kunzaburo under the pseudonym Teng Kun, the man who stirred up the rights and wrongs of the Great Song Dynasty and warned Commander Yang not to play the kind of game he could not afford. But Fujiwara didn't realize that Fan Chunyou couldn't afford to play this game.
Fujiwara thought that there would be no problem after Chen Shimei left, at least he had a few months before Chen Shimei came back, Fan Chunyou also thought so, the two of them didn't expect that there was a concubine among them.
In a dark basement, two strong men walked in with a sack and slammed the sack to the ground! There was a muffled cry from inside the sack, and it looked very painful.
Su Yan sat on the Taishi chair, then looked at the wriggling sack in the dim light, and waved his hand lightly: "Open." ”
The two strong men next to him untied the opening of the sack, Fujiwara's head leaked out of it, his first glance was to look around at the surrounding environment, his eyes turned around and then fell on Su Yan's body, the gagged mouth made a sound, obviously there was something to say.
