Chapter 1239: Attacking the Great Zhou
April will soon come to an end, and the two major battles of Great Xia with foreign countries have different results.
In Africa, the Great Xia army was once again divided into two routes, and it was still overwhelming and unstoppable. At the same time, the people of South Sudan and Kenya, which had just been conquered by Bactria , received relief food from the imperial court.
Whether it is Uganda or Tanzania, the people of the two countries are not all hostile to the Great Xia Army, which provides a public opinion basis for the Great Xia Army and will not fall into the sea of people's war.
Bai Qi's operation of grain is obviously very sophisticated.
It is certainly not by chance that the people of Uganda and Tanzania can learn about the disaster relief situation in South Sudan and Kenya, and they know so widely, and there is careful planning behind it.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo is very relieved about the African battlefield.
Something unusual is the Tibetan battlefield that has already been handed over. According to the pre-war analysis, with the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jing, the Tubo army was by no means an opponent, and even if it fought in the plateau area, it could be defeated in one battle.
This is not the case.
According to the battle report reported by Li Jing, behind the Tubo Dynasty, there was another force as the backing, although those who fought with the Flying Bear Army were wearing Tubo military uniforms, but they were by no means Tubo troops.
That's a lot of fun.
In view of this, Ouyang Shuo ordered Li Jing that there was no need for time pressure, and the imperial court did not set a clear time limit for the Battle of Tubo, so that Li Jing could use troops flexibly according to the battlefield situation.
Before figuring out which force was the ghost floating behind Tibet, it was obviously not a good idea for the Great Xia army to rashly launch a general attack. In addition, the Tibetan region has many lofty mountains and mountains, and the terrain is complex, and it may be ambushed at any time, so it is necessary to be more careful.
The battle of Tibet was stalemate.

In April, in addition to the Great Summer, the global situation also took a new turn.
The most lively is of course the Asian region, where the two major empires of Mongolia and Persia are fighting to the death.
At the beginning of the war, with a surprise and a will to die, coupled with the slaughter of the city, the Mongol iron cavalry once again ravaged the city-states of the Persian Empire, and even counted several cities.
A large number of materials and people were continuously transported back to the Mongol Empire.
The feat of the Mongol expedition to the west in history was repeated again. But the game is not history after all, and after a disadvantageous battle, the mighty Persian Empire quickly came to its senses and fought back.
The fight between the two sides has just begun.
On April 10, in order to relieve the worries of the Mongol Empire, Ouyang Shuo specially sent an envoy to Hala and Lin to inform Genghis Khan that during the Mongol expedition to the west, Bactria would never attack the Mongols.
Genghis Khan got revenge, his expression was complicated, although he saw through Ouyang Shuo's plan, he also had to accept this situation, and very decisively gave up his vigilance against Great Xia and threw himself into the battle of Persia.
Because this is a conspiracy.
During this period, some Mongolian nobles were worried that this was a deception by Great Xia, the purpose of which was to make the empire relax its vigilance, and then send troops to attack, "The Han people are the most cunning and can never be trusted." ”
In particular, the nobles whose fiefdoms bordered Great Xia were even more worried all day long, fearing that the empire would withdraw the border guards and put their interests at risk.
Genghis Khan didn't think so, and said bluntly: "As the most powerful emperor in the Central Plains, Emperor Xia will easily break his word?" Don't worry. ”
Between the kings, there is also sympathy.
Genghis Khan was sober, whether it was from plundering grain and grass materials, or from expanding the territory, for the Mongol Empire, the western expedition was the best choice.
Therefore, even if the early victory and the seizure of a large amount of supplies have alleviated the hunger situation within the empire, Genghis Khan is still ready to continue the fight with the Persian Empire.
First, they can train their troops, and second, they can also use war to nourish their wars.
For the Mongol Empire, nomadism was predominant, agriculture was underdeveloped, not to mention industry, commerce and the industrial revolution, and such a complex system could not be established.
If the empire wants not to be eliminated, it can only feed the war with war.
Only by conquering the Persian Empire, occupying the Persian city-states, and turning the Persians into slaves of the Mongol Empire, can a system be established that allowed the Mongol Empire to gain a foothold.
Sometimes, barbarism and violence are also a way out.
Therefore, after Ouyang Shuo made a promise, Genghis Khan decisively gave up, and his previous plan to grab a handful in Persia and leave, shifting the strategic focus of the empire to the west.
The confrontation between the two empires will probably continue for a long time.
…………
In addition to the confrontation between the Mongol Empire and the Persian Empire, there is another place that is very lively around the world, and that is the previously forgotten South American continent.
With the Spanish dynasty increasing its troops in Argentina, the situation in South America quickly heated up, and the smell of gunpowder was full. In mid-April, the Indian Empire was finally no longer ready to endure and took the initiative to attack the Argentine region.
In the first battle, it gave the Indian Empire a head start.
In the face of Spain's skillful musket tactics, the Indian army, which was mainly cold-armed, was obviously overwhelmed, and suffered heavy losses in the first large-scale battle between the two sides.
The Indian Empire admired pure warriors, and wanted to return to the tradition of the Indians, who had to defend the glory of the empire with spears and bows in their hands.
It's a pity that what they tasted was a bloody lesson.
A general battle that exposed the Achilles' heel of the Indian Empire.
The sweetness of victory completely aroused the desire for conquest in the bones of the Spanish dynasty, and they were obviously no longer satisfied with sticking to the Argentine region.
It is reported that Spain is already planning a counter-attack on the Indian Empire.
At the same time, the defeat of the Indian Empire on the southern front gave confidence to the Brasilia dynasty, who agreed to cooperate with the Dawson dynasty with little hesitation.
The purpose was to get the Dawson dynasty to support firearms and train them to be musketeers.
In this way, the Dawson dynasty was able to successfully intervene in the South American war, and I am afraid that Jack will wake up laughing in his dreams, and there is no reason not to agree.
With Jack's hand, it was only a matter of time before he took control of the Brasilia dynasty.
At the end of April, the Spanish dynasty formed a formal alliance with the Brasilia dynasty, determined to jointly devour the Indian Empire and divide it.
On the surface, this is an alliance between the Spanish dynasty and the Brasilia dynasty, but in fact it is a joint venture between the Spanish dynasty and the Dawson dynasty.
The hand of silver is fully deployed in South America.
Even in such a situation, the three dynasties seem to have consciously forgotten about Egua County in Great Xia, and were neither particularly afraid nor confronted by Egua County.
They are consciously weakening Bactria in South America.
The logic behind it, of course, is the fear of Great Xia's strong strength, whether it is Jack or Casillas, they are worried that Great Xia will use this to increase troops in South America and add unnecessary variables to their plans.
During this period, the Indian Empire did not ask for more troops in Bactria or for help in the training of muskets or musketeers, and seemed to want to resist.
Since this is the case, of course, Ouyang Shuo will not take the initiative to mention this matter.
In the South American battlefield, Ouyang Shuo had patience and directly ordered the Egua Festival to make the wolf warrior temporarily lie dormant and make every effort to collect South American intelligence, including the Indian Empire.
In Ouyang Shuo's judgment, now is by no means the time for Great Xia to intervene in South America.

May 1, Jingshi, Wangcheng.
By May, spring sowing has been completed everywhere, and the wilderness has become green and vibrant. This also means that the time has come for the battle of China's unification, and it cannot be delayed any longer.
If it is delayed any longer, it will be the first season of grain harvest, which will give the enemy a chance to breathe.
According to Ouyang Shuo's expectations, by May, the battle of Tubo should have been settled, so that Great Xia could go all out to plan the battle for the unification of China.
Now that such a thing has happened, the war cannot be delayed.
On this day, Ouyang Shuo officially announced that the battle for the unification of China would be launched immediately, and the first target of attack was the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Military Aircraft Department began to formulate the relevant operational plan as early as last winter.
The whole army was waiting for Ouyang Shuo's starting gun.
