"It seems that everyone has no problem." Zhang Su nodded with satisfaction when he saw that no one spoke anymore. Just when Zhang Su was about to hand over military affairs to Yan Yan, Yan Yan, who had been frowning and silent, suddenly asked. "Isn't this a little too dangerous?" Yan Yan frowned and said, "We are just making an appointment with Guishang, there is no need to be like this. Zhang Biejia's strategy is not too obvious, but it is too It's dangerous. If we are not careful, our army may suffer a huge defeat. " Yan Yan is a veteran on the battlefield after all, and has experienced many battles, especially when Jing Yi almost reached the top in the battle against Sun Ce, although he was defeated in the end. Pang Tong's hand, but Yan Yan also has a deep understanding of his legion's talent. His legionary talent is not suitable for charge operations, but for commanding the entire army in defensive counterattacks. Just a stern appearance and an army that does not collapse is enough for him to become a famous general. Therefore, he was defeated by Pang Tong in the Battle of Jingyi Yiling. After that, Yan Yan no longer focused on cultivating his inner energy, but instead focused on the deployment of troops and generals. All of Yan Yan¡¯s training is focused on defensive counterattacks. He knows his own advantages, so he is working hard to strengthen them. When Zhang Su, Zhang Song and others were analyzing before, the reason why Yan Yan never spoke was that he was sure that he would not collapse even after being cut back and forth by ten legions! Even further, in the retreat environment of fighting and retreating, Yan Yan is confident that he can launch a comprehensive counterattack at any time. This is the self-confidence born of Yan Yan's continuous hardening of himself in the past few years. However, this kind of self-confidence does not mean that Yan Yan can let Zhang Su and Zhang Song use such dangerous tactics. Although Zhang Song, Zhang Su, Huang Quan and others are all in high positions, to be honest, Yan Yan is the leader of this army. The coach, he himself is almost a combination of qualifications and abilities. Yan Yan asked like this. Zhang Su and Zhang Song looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes. So Zhang Su stepped forward and said, "What our army needs is not a small victory or a draw. "What we need is a big victory." "A big victory?" Yan Yan frowned and asked Zhang Su. To be honest, with Yan Yan¡¯s legion talent, as long as the opponent doesn¡¯t know that he has such a talent, if the battle continues, as long as the gap is not big, Yan Yan will definitely win. "Yes, a big victory. If we only need a small victory, we don't need to discuss it like this at all. With the general's ability, even if we don't say anything, we can win a victory by then." Huang Quan silently handed it to Yan. Yan Yan wears a high hat, and Yan Yan's complexion looks slightly better. "What's the reason?" Yan Yan looked at several civil servants and said. "Small victory cannot deter Guishang, and the current situation in the Central Plains is destined that if we choose small victory, we may be in trouble in the future." Zhang Song sighed and said. "We have conducted several investigations during this period and found that the Kushan Empire, our former ally, the Dayue clan, has grown into an empire with a land of thousands of miles, a population of tens of millions, and millions of soldiers. How strong is this strength? Please feel it. ." Qin Mi stood up and said to everyone, and this simple paper data made everyone feel shocked. "What's more important is that Guishan is a unified country, that is, there is no civil strife in the country. Our Han Dynasty may be stronger than Guishang, but if the country is not suppressed by Liu Taiwei, it will be a pot of porridge long ago. ." Zhang Song said with a sneer, he was still leaning towards Liu Bei. "Ahem!" Zhang Su coughed twice and signaled Zhang Song to say a few words. He, the elder brother, was not blind. From many of Zhang Song's actions, he could tell that Zhang Song intended to have an affair with Liu Bei. He wanted to If Zhang Song was not restrained, Zhang Su would have sent Zhang Song to Liu Zhang. Zhang Song curled his lips and his ugly face became even more ugly. Zhang Song does have a good impression of Liu Bei. Although he was unintentionally hit by Zhuge Liang, the more he looks at it now, the more he feels that Liu Bei has a bright future. However, Liu Zhang has nothing wrong with him now. Zhang Song is doing well and has no interest in taking action. At most That is to say, I have a good impression. "Ziqiao, please continue." Zhang Su waved his hand to indicate to Zhang Song to continue. "The overall strength of our Han Dynasty must be higher than that of Kushan. Although we have experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's political chaos, and the chaos of the Central Plains, our overall strength is definitely higher than that of Kushan. The biggest problem now is that we are the whole "?" Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and asked. Yan Yan nodded silently in agreement, and Zhang Song continued to speak, "As for the Northern Xiongnu, what has not been mentioned is that all of us, all the forces in the Han Dynasty, are one family. We are a whole, and our strength is in one direction, but the Northern Huns are "What if the Huns are gone?" "There must be a battle between the Liu, Cao, and Sun families, and if this battle cannot be suppressed, it will definitely be painful. Although Liu Taiwei has the advantage now, the strength of Cao Cao and Sun Ce You all have your own estimates.?Liu Taiwei may not be able to defeat easily. "Zhang Song sighed and said. "What does this have to do with us having to win a big victory? Yan Yan frowned and said. "If we have a small victory or a draw with Guishang, do you think a prosperous empire will covet us?" "Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and asked. "There will be. "Although Yan Yan is not as smart as Zhang Song, he still knows these things. If the Han Empire, which was so powerful in Da Yuezhi's impression that he could suppress them with one hand, can only be slightly better than them now, then It would be strange if they don¡¯t have any dissatisfaction. ¡°The judgment of all of us is the same, and even if they have this idea, they will not act immediately. They will wait for the opportunity to understand more deeply that we are the right way, and behind us. In the Central Plains, the three families of Liu, Cao, and Sun must have a battle! "Zhang Song said with a bitter smile. Yan Yan was stunned, he already understood what Zhang Song meant. "Let's put it this way, if we have a small victory or a draw, Guishang will not take action for a while, but he will definitely covet the Central Plains, and use It won't be long before the war in the north ends, and the joint cooperation between the Liu, Cao, and Sun families will come to an end. When Guishang figures out the real situation of the Han Dynasty, how do you think Guishang will choose? "Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and asked. "If I were in Guishang's position, once I learned that the Han family was divided into three parts, I would definitely attack the Han family with all my strength and take advantage of the chaos to plunder the land and people. "Yan Yan said solemnly. "That's it. Once the Liu, Cao, and Sun families are in the same pot, and Guishuang and we don't have a blood feud, then the Cao and Sun families may lure wolves into the house when they are defeated. After all, the Central Plains War is at that point. To this extent, the possibility of breaking through the bottom line is very high. "Zhang Song sighed. "And once something happens to the Cao and Sun families, Liu Taiwei will be unable to survive alone. Moreover, once the war in the Central Plains begins, it will be impossible to hold back, and there will definitely be many civil and military officials who will be injured. "Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and said. "This distance is a bit far. "Zhang Ren suddenly interjected at this time. "It's actually not far. If the trees on the road are cut down, the road is paved, and the soldiers have horses to transport them, we can arrive in less than a month. Our current marching speed is the same as in the previous military books. There is already a big difference. "Zhang Su helped his brother explain. "It used to be said in the art of war that the one who can make a profit at a hundred miles can defeat the general, and the one who can make a profit at fifty miles can reach half the army. Now, General Zhang, you can forcefully cross a hundred miles with a forced march. As the essence of heaven and earth rises, we are completely different from before. "Zhang Song shook his head and explained. "Perhaps our Han Dynasty once lost its absolute dominance south of Jianwei County, but now, we have built a good road and sent troops from Yizhou to here in less than a month. Even if troops are stationed in Yongchang and the road is repaired, it will take less than fifteen days to get here! "Qin Mi said slowly. "If the road is built into a straight road like Mount Tai, and there are enough horses, our actual jurisdiction can be pushed west to south for nearly three thousand miles, and the border can be pushed for nearly ten thousand miles. . "Wang Lei sighed and said, "Times have changed. " "So if we give Kushan a chance, there is a high possibility that Kushan will come to plunder. In order to avoid this happening, all we can choose is a big victory or a big defeat. "Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and showed no signs of concealment. "Big victory! Or a big defeat? "Yan Yan frowned. The big victory is easy to explain. What was the big defeat? "It goes without saying that the big victory is a big victory. If we win a big victory over Guishang, then even if Guishang detects the chaos in the Han Dynasty later, he will hesitate to take action. The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou was defeated by just one state, so even if the Han Dynasty was in chaos, he would treat it with caution. "Zhang Song explained, and Yan Yan nodded to show that he knew this. "As for the defeat. "Zhang Song looked at the generals present. All the generals were waiting for the next step. "If there is a big defeat, Guishuang will definitely march into the Han Dynasty. By then, hundreds of thousands of troops will press the border, and dozens of internal Qi will leave the body to come to the Han Dynasty. At the border, the Liu, Cao, and Sun families will inevitably appear to clean up the catastrophe we have caused. "Zhang Song said slowly. "The three families now have a basis for cooperation and a friendship. Although there have been some conflicts, they have worked together to deal with the Northern Huns and have not yet separated, or have sacrificed to the Ancestral Temple and have not fallen out. As long as Guishang If they appear, they will inevitably encounter the Han army lineup that the Northern Huns faced. "Zhang Song looked in the direction of Yan Yan and said. "So, does General Yan have any doubts? "Zhang Song looked at Yan Yan and said. "No more, just do as you say, a big victory or a big defeat. " Yan Yan nodded, and all the generals also understood the thoughts of the civil servants. This battle must not be a small victory or a draw, it can only be a big victory or a big defeat. This battle will determine the national destiny of the Han Dynasty in the next few years. Seeing Zhang Ren and others¡¯ expressions of solemnity, Zhang Song clapped his hands again to focus everyone¡¯s attention.Come. "You don't have to have too much psychological burden. The other party must be thinking about how to deal with our army. Unlike us who have a backer, the other party's confidence is definitely not as good as ours." Zhang Song said with a comforting expression on his ugly face. "They are close to us. If they want to develop, they can't avoid us no matter what. For us, this war will only affect the national destiny for several years. For them, I am afraid it will affect a country's strategy for a century, so they are under greater pressure." Zhang Su said to everyone with a smile. In fact, as early as when the gauntlet was issued, Wang Lei and others had some speculations. They believed that if Kushan accepted the gauntlet, then Kushan might use this battle as a reference to formulate strategies for the next decades or even centuries. ?That is to say, this battle may affect whether Guishang establishes diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty on an equal footing, or whether he will remain subordinate to the Han Dynasty and act as a junior brother as before, or it may give him an opportunity to surpass the Han Dynasty. ????????????????? For an ordinary person, he can endure hunger and leave food to grow to ensure that he will not go hungry again in the coming year. For a family, they can lie dormant for more than ten years, waiting for the best time to make a splash. For an empire, it can consume one generation, two generations, and a hundred years to strive for a goal. Zhang Song and others believe that the Kushan Empire has the confidence and qualifications to do this, and if the opponent is the Han Empire, it is also worthwhile to do so. Since all conditions are met, Zhang Song and others directly believe that this battle is possible It will affect Kushan's century-old strategy. This is a terrible fact. The outcome of this battle will directly affect the strategy of an empire for nearly a hundred years in the future. Therefore, in this battle, Zhang Song and others agreed that victory or defeat on the battlefield was no longer important. The important point was how to reverse the centuries-old strategy of the Kushan Empire to a choice that was beneficial to the Han Empire, regardless of victory or defeat during the period. With such a tone, the focus of Zhang Song and others' thinking has been deflected. The importance of victory and defeat has been thrown aside. Victory is important, but the strategy that affects the Kushan Empire is more valuable to the entire Han Empire. Similarly With this tone in mind, Zhang Song and others understood that the Kushan side might use some tricks, but generally it would not prevent the Han army from showing its combat effectiveness. Because it is not important to the other party whether victory or defeat is the same. The combat effectiveness of the Han army is an important factor that affects their strategy. They need the accurate combat effectiveness of the Han army. No matter how many kingdoms he fights against, Guishuang cannot feel his level of strength. An empire is an empire. Those below this level are small countries that can be easily destroyed by the empire. Only by fighting against an established empire can one know clearly. own positioning. Today's Kushan needs a positioning. When the Kushan Empire was founded more than a hundred years ago, Emperor Yan Gaozhen used the Han Empire as a benchmark to position his own strength. However, he was defeated by the Han Empire south of Congling and gave up the entire Congling. Ridge, all the way south. Now, more than a hundred years later, the Kushan Empire is more powerful than before. It is so powerful that ordinary kingdoms can no longer verify their own strength. I am afraid they also want to know the extent of their own strength. Now the Han army that single-handedly defeated Yan Gaozhen, the founding emperor of their country who had never been defeated except Ban Chao in Congling a hundred years ago, appeared in front of them again. Even if the Han army did not come to inform them, they would go Please fight! Because the Kushan Empire must want to know how much they have grown in the past hundred years, and the Han Empire is their benchmark.
