    Gola Khan's plan has obviously become Kushan's only hope.  Without saying anything else, he mobilized 50,000 Kuishang troops and 3,000 war elephants, and left the Chinese army camp to fight Lu Bu.  Kadelfi looked at Gola Khan¡¯s helpless smile, and he was speechless.  There were too few soldiers under Gola Khan, and compared with the partial division led by Lu Bu, they were even on the weaker side.  When the combat effectiveness and equipment are inferior to the enemy, you can imagine how difficult it is to win with a weak force against a superior force.  But there is nothing that can be done about it. Kuishang's strength is already very weak. If too many troops are deployed, the defense line will definitely be difficult to defend.  These days, due to deserters, wounded soldiers, and casualties, despite repeated reinforcements from the rear, the Kushan army has shrunk to about 400,000 people. It has to defend a long line of defense, and its troops are stretched thin.  Mobilizing 50,000 troops at this time is really the greatest effort.  A senior general who was very senior but did not reach the level of a general said with some confusion: "General, who is this person? Judging from the wisdom he shows, he should not be unknown." Kadelfi sighed softly and said  : "Who is he? He is the famous Coyote. He is best at hiding and disguising himself, and rarely shows his strength. But when he really commands the troops, his enemies will truly taste the feeling of being attacked by a wild wolf.  . That's definitely not a good feeling. It's normal that you haven't heard of him. The name of Coyote is only spread among the top generals of the Kingdom, and only ten people know about him.  The atmosphere. Can he still stand here and show off his talents? I'm afraid he would have turned into a pile of bones." The general smiled awkwardly and remained silent.  He knew what Kadelfi meant.  This is indeed the case in the Kushan Dynasty. The country's aristocratic class is frantically expanding its power and has reached a delicate balance.  All talented people must rely on major families to have any hope of getting ahead.  otherwise.  Only destruction awaits them.  The major nobles will never allow the existence of a power beyond their control.  Lu Bu's troops finally reunited with the infantry.  Infantry relies on powerful weapons.  Several small towns were captured and a strong defensive position was built.  Yan Liang, who was supporting the forward, couldn't help but praise him repeatedly after seeing such a strong position, saying that with sufficient ammunition, it would be impossible to destroy the Qin army without three to five times the strength of the defenders.  Lu Bu came here with his depleted troops.  Instead of moving forward, all the soldiers immediately fell asleep as soon as they got off their horses.  Even some generals followed the soldiers and fell on the bed to rest.  Although Lu Bu also wanted to take a good rest, the current situation did not allow him to do so.  He had a bad feeling that the Kushans would never let go of his troops so easily.  If you just give up.  There is no need to fight anymore.  How could the Kushan army, which was unable to destroy even a partial division, defeat an army whose numbers were not much worse than his own?  Ma Chao met Lu Bu and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have received a report from the camp, 30,000 cavalry, 30,000 heavy infantry, 20,000 crossbowmen. As well as 200 artillery pieces, Zhang and Gao Er are generals.  Under the command, move closer to this side." Lu Bu frowned and said, "What will happen to the camp if the Kushan people attack?"  Ma Chao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, General Zhao has also considered this issue. He said in the letter that in the past few days, under the planning of all the civil servants, the troops and horses of the camp have formed a complete defense system. If the Kushan people attack the camp,  With a battalion of about 150,000 people, His Majesty will definitely attack the Kushan city to open up the road to the Kushan capital. Most of the Kushan army's troops will be concentrated on the southern, eastern and southeastern fronts.  Although they have a certain amount of troops on the southwestern front, they are unable to resist our army. In order to protect the safety of the capital, the Guishang army will definitely divide its troops for rescue. In this way, the Guishang army and horses will no longer be able to attack the camp. " Lu Bu nodded slightly and said to Zhao Yun.  Very satisfied with the analysis.  He pondered for a moment and said: "Send thirty cavalrymen, in groups of three, to bring a message to Zhang and Gao Second General, telling them that no matter what the speed, they must ensure safety and don't fall into Guishang's trick. No one can do it now."  I can guarantee that they will have the intention of surrounding the area and calling for reinforcements." After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded and went to arrange everything.  Lu Bu walked to the sand table, looked at it for a while and said: "This place is far from Wen Chou's camp. If you take the main road, the road is winding and winding. I'm afraid it will be no less than 1,300 miles. If you want to get to Wen Chou's camp, it will take at least ten years."  It will take five days for the troops to be completely withdrawn. More importantly, there are a considerable number of wounded soldiers in our troops, which will greatly slow down the speed of our army's actions, and we must consider that Kushan's attack may appear at any time.  Once the troops are attacked, it is difficult for the marching troops to form effective resistance." Xu Rong observed.After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, I think if the Kushan people are really smart enough, they will never attack our defense line easily. The Kushan people should know the combat effectiveness of our army. If it is not more than five times the strength of the unarmed army,  Or the elephant army that is enough to overturn the battlefield is simply unable to shake the overall situation. I think a Kushan commander who is smart enough will never risk the camp being broken by using a large force to attack a partial division, even if he knows that it is better than leading it personally.  Even with 300,000 soldiers, no one can guarantee that our army can be completely destroyed." Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell us what you think and see what the Kushan people have planned."  Rong glanced at the sand table and said: "Your Majesty, if the Kushan people have to eat us, but they can't mobilize too many troops because they are worried about the safety of the camp. This requires them to not need to mobilize too many troops, but also be able to  A plan to defeat our army." As soon as these words came out, all the generals couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this nonsense?  Could it be that you have other plans?  Xu Rong glanced at the generals and said confidently: "Your Majesty, if I were the commander-in-chief of the Kushan Army, I would definitely concentrate the important forces on our army's return journey. This road has both plains and dense forests, which is very suitable for attacks.  . Although the Kushan army and horses are not as good as our army in the field, if there are really capable people among them, they only need to mobilize enough elephant troops to fight against our army. Didn't your Majesty just say that once they ambush them on the road?  Our soldiers on the march did not have enough time to prepare, and it was difficult for the troops to deploy. The impact of the Xiang army is not comparable to that of the cavalry." Lu Bu frowned and said: "You mean the Kushan army will take advantage of us.  Attack us if you have a chance to retreat? In this case, our return is not that easy!" At this time, Ma Chao couldn't bear it and said: "Your Majesty, if I don't think so, then they won't.  Let our army be suppressed to this predicament today. If they are really powerful, they can cooperate with the Parthian and Roman armies and eat up our partial army. There is no need to wait until now. Now that we have eliminated the Kushan reinforcements.  , isn¡¯t it ridiculous that they took action at this time? General Xu¡¯s idea was not wrong at all. If he was a smart general, he would definitely do this. But the Kushan people have not shown that they can figure it out so far.  With the wisdom of such a sophisticated strategy, I think there is no need for us to pay attention to them. As long as the cavalry is fast enough, they can successfully join the corresponding troops." After hearing this, Yan Liang couldn't help but nodded and said: "General Ma is right.  The Kushan people did not show too advanced strategies. Although their defense was quite satisfactory, it can only be said that their commander is an experienced person who is good at using regular soldiers. At least, we have not seen it so far.  The enemy's strange plan." Xu Rong looked at the two generals with higher military ranks than him, his eyes full of anger, and said solemnly: "If you don't show up, doesn't it mean you won't show up? On the battlefield, be careful ten thousand times.  It's not an exaggeration. If you make a mistake, you will lose the lives of countless innocent soldiers. As a general, can you ignore the lives of soldiers? General Yan, why do you think so?  What if the Kushan people are waiting for this opportunity and let us attack the Parthian and Roman armies?" After hearing this, Lu Bu's expression changed.  What Xu Rong said was absolutely correct, and he definitely could not take it lightly.  He pondered for a long time, and finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "In this case, let Zhang He and Gao Lan march carefully. Let's take a good rest here to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops. Let's see who is more powerful.  Be patient. If Guishang really has such a plan, we will really meet our opponent." Xu Rong nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise." When the other generals saw that Lu Bu had made up his mind, they all bowed respectfully and said:  "Your Majesty is wise." Gola Khan commanded his troops to rest three days away from the Wenchou Army's camp. These people were tired, so they all took the time to recover their strength.  A tall and thin general came over and reported: "General, according to your order, we sent more than 3,000 people to destroy the Qin army's return south. It should be able to slow down their speed." A general glanced at Gola Khan and said  To be honest, all the generals were not very obedient under the command of this unknown and young general.  This was especially true for this person. He said with some confusion: "General, why are we doing this? Can we defeat the Qin people in this way?" Gola Khan glanced at the other person. He knew that the general was the head of a famous family in Kushan.  son.  He smiled slightly and said: "You run a hundred miles and then fight with any general here. If you can win, then I will give up this plan." The Guishan generals are not very harmonious. Their families have  There was a deep entanglement, and everyone burst out laughing after hearing this.  The general's face was clear??, after understanding what Gola Khan meant, it was hard to get angry, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he continued to do it bitterly.  Gola Khan didn't care, he had no time to pay attention to the strife among his men.  What he has to do now is to lead Kushan, who has fallen into a low ebb, out of the predicament and towards victory, although he doesn't know whether it is worth it for him to do so.
