Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2911 I come to think about it today, rain and snow

  Xihai City.

  Qianjunzhai.

  The camp of the Allied Forces in the Western Regions.

   On this autumn night, the cold seems to be extraordinarily long.

  The soldiers on patrol, the leather armor and iron clothes on their bodies seemed to be condensed with frost, their hands were hidden in the leather robes, and they followed the queue tremblingly. And those soldiers who can only be on duty at the same place can't wait to hold the bonfire in their arms, sit in one place and have no intention of talking at all. In the eyes of everyone, even if they look at the jumping flames, there is no one. the frenzy of the past.

  Takesa, the general of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, has a new plan.

  Now most people can see that Tagusa is not very good.

Although Takesa pretended to be full of affection for the Western Regions on the surface, when he showed his face to speak, he picked up the words that the Western Regions people wanted to hear, such as the glory of the Buddha, the glory of the Western Regions, and what freedom, what dish, what Get rid of, what independence, but in fact Taxa doesn't care about the lives of people in the Western Regions.

  In the past two days, the cold snap hit and the temperature dropped suddenly.

  The herdsmen in the Western Regions who couldn't find shelter from the wind for a while could only suffer in the night wind. Because herdsmen are often surrounded by cattle, sheep and various utensils, they cannot raise fire at will, and even if they can use fire, there is not so much wood for burning fire.

   We must first guarantee the expenses of the nobles...

  How can the nobles lead the herdsmen to victory if they don’t have enough food and clothing?

  So, it is better to suffer the herdsmen temporarily, and let them bear it a little longer.

  The herdsmen in the Western Regions curled up numbly, cuddling up with their cattle and sheep, not even daring to cry. Because of the military order of Taxa, anyone who cries and shouts at night will be regarded as malicious disturbance and disturbing the morale of the army, and will be picked out and killed by the patrolling Guishuang soldiers.

   Guishuang soldiers consider themselves to be superior people, but it is no big deal in the minds of these Guishuang soldiers to cut down a few dozen more.

  Of course, occasionally there will be some laughter and cries of pain, that is, the masters of Guishuang are looking for some fun.

  Even if it is hard and tiring in front of you, you can’t get tired of Guishuang masters.

  Women, drinks, beef and mutton.

  Singing, playing, having boundless joy.

   It's not that Tagusa doesn't know these things, but he doesn't fart on this matter. What is his core strength, Tagusa's heart is like a mirror. Since he can feed his dogs with the flesh and blood of the nomads in the Western Regions, what's wrong with that?

   It's not that the herdsmen in the Western Regions resisted, but those who resisted died soon.

   It’s not that no one escaped, but those who escaped were quickly caught back, and then their chests and abdomens were cut open on the rocks, and they were left to be eaten by vultures to death.

  The **** ones died, and those who refused to accept their fate also died.

  The rest of the herdsmen in the Western Regions also obediently lowered their heads deeply, waiting for the long cold night to pass soon.

  An extra moment of life is a moment.

   No one knows how long this life can last, and they are too numb to care.

  Although winter has not come yet, the cold is already in my heart.

  In an area of ​​the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, by the bonfire, the Shanshan people gathered together.

  Shanshan originally had a name that may be more familiar to later generations, Loulan.

  Originally, Loulan was connected to Dunhuang in the east, Qiemo, Jingjue, Jumi, and Khotan in the west, Cheshi in the northeast, and Yanqi in the northwest. Loulan is a small country on the Silk Road in the easternmost part of the Western Regions. The Han and Hungarians wanted to control Loulan in order to compete for the Western Regions.

  In 77 BC, Fu Jiezi of the Western Han Dynasty killed King Loulan and changed his country's name to Shanshan, and the capital of the king moved south from Loulan.

  Because of the relationship between Shanshan and the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have always been disputes in Shanshan. There are those who are pro-Han and those who are against.

Shanshan is now divided into two parts, one part is headed by the young prince, who has only one name and nothing else, and he is desperately looking for the Han people for help, and the other is the uncle of the prince of Shanshan, who has real power After knowing that the little prince had defected to the Han people, he naturally chose to side with the coalition forces of the Western Regions.

  Some Shanshan warriors were on the outside, staring at each other, not allowing anyone to approach, while in the inner circle of the campfire, the current king of Shanshan, Tong Geluojia, was discussing quietly with several relatives and generals.

   Another female scream came from the night sky, followed by wild laughter.

   Tong Geluojia looked up, his face was gloomy, "It's those guys from Guishuang who are doing something again..."

   There were indeed many reasons why the army could not be defeated at first.

  But now Tong Geluojia understands, and one of the very important reasons is that the leaders of other Western Region states may have the same idea as Tong Geluojia thought, and they all understand what Takesa is.

  Shanshan is unstable at home. Tong Geluojia originally wanted to follow the coalition of the Western Regions and transfer the conflict to the outside, but now it seems that not only cannot the transfer be passed on, but it may even cause more problems.

  『Every time you say you have a plan, you have a fart plan! "A Shanshan commander cursed in a low voice, "After fighting so many Tianjun villages, but they can't take them down, how dare they talk about new plans!" What a joke! 』

"that is! What kind of Han reinforcements are you fighting? If there were any Han Chinese reinforcements, they would have arrived long ago! 』

  『He is reluctant to part with his soldiers! Just thinking about letting us go to die! When we die, he can take over our herdsmen as a matter of course! At that time, even if they can't beat the Han people, they can still eat their mouths full of oil! 』

  『What happened to Master Busen? How come you can't even see through this? 』

  『Ghost knows! 』

  『King, tell me, what should we do now? 』

   Several people focused their attention on Tong Geluojia.

   Tong Geluojia pondered for a while, and then inspected the circle, "Now... these guys, their hearts are all gone... You can all see this, right? 』

   In fact, it’s not that I just lost my mind now, but that I haven’t worked together since the beginning!

  Tong Luojia continued: "So we must first consider our own interests!" Think about it, where are our interests? 』

  Everyone was chattering again, some said it was fame, some said it was cattle and sheep, but some said it was soldiers and horses...

   Tong Geluojia shook his head and denied one by one, and finally he said: "It's not these... Think about it, we are discussing here, will people from other countries secretly discuss something? Why can't you take down the army stronghold, and everyone doesn't say anything? Not even many voices accusing Taxa? This is not to say that everyone obeys him more, but...」

"This is an opportunity... If Takesa can win against the Han people... well, it seems a bit difficult now," said Tongeluojia, "Then if he can't win, it doesn't matter, because we have united once, There will be a second time... Maybe Master Busen thinks so...』

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and then asked: "Your Majesty, now..."

   Tong Geluojia laughed, "No matter what, we must preserve our strength as much as possible... Only with strength can we have a chance to speak and have a tomorrow!" I'm going to find Taxa, and transfer our people to the east in the name of preventing the Han Chinese from attacking! The Han people in the military village are dying, but you know, the wounded beasts are the craziest... We don't need to take this risk...』

  Everyone praised Tong Geluojia's foresight, but some people also asked whether the area to the east would really be attacked by Han Chinese.

  About this question, Tong Geluojia laughed, saying that Taxa sent some people to ambush the reinforcements of the Han people before. Even if the reinforcements of the Han people come, they must first fight with the ambush of the Western Region coalition forces. There is no need to worry about it...

  …m9(`Д)m9…

  Only standing outside the battlefield can you have the perspective of God, while people in the battlefield are often fighting against the black fog of war. Just like if the people of Wusun knew that Han Guo didn't have many soldiers, and Taxa knew that Fei Qian had arrived at Yumen Pass, perhaps the strategy adopted would be completely different.

  In comparison, the investigation of the Han people is much better.

  At least the Han Chinese have more elite scouts, who can hide better and run farther.

  When Han Guo gave the Wusun people a blow, Zhang Liao also led his troops to attack the coalition forces of the Western Regions.

  Zhang Liao waved to the messengers behind him, “Tell them we are here. 』

   More than a dozen war drums were erected and sounded at the same time.

  The deep roar immediately resounded through the heavens and the earth, swept across the Gobi, crossed countless swords and guns, and smashed into the banners.

  The Han soldiers in the army camp cheered unanimously, but the Western Region coalition forces seemed panicked.

  Zhang Liao from Xiaotupo looked at the Allied Army of the Western Regions in the distance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and gave instructions to his subordinates, with a steady voice, "Array, prepare to attack." 』

  Among the coalition forces in the Western Regions, horns sounded one after another. Long, short, hasty, melodious, and all kinds of intertwined, fully show the tension and panic before the war.

  The generals of the Western Regions yelled and cursed, and greeted Taxa's family.

  Because Taxa had vowed before that they would encircle and fight for aid. On the one hand, they wanted to capture the army stronghold, and on the other hand, they also set up ambushes on the road to encircle and annihilate the troops who came to aid from the Han...

   These words that are preached every day seem to be still echoing in my ears, but what about now? !

  Where did these Han soldiers come from? !

  The Allied Forces of the Western Regions were puzzled, and even thought that these Han soldiers and horses had performed some kind of demonic tricks? Otherwise, Master Busen would not have held rituals over and over again to dispel the witchcraft of the Han people...

  Perhaps for the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, Zhang Liao's appearance here with his troops is really like a sorcery. But in fact, Zhang Liao just relied on his more elite and powerful scouts to discover the ambush troops dispatched by the Allied Forces of the Western Regions in advance.

  In fact, to be honest, these troops sent by the Western Regions to ambush the Han army lack any professionalism.

   If you want to ambush, you must first not be discovered by the opponent, but these Western Region coalition forces are like squatting in the grass with their buttocks half exposed outside. They just stick their heads in the grass and pretend that they have hidden.

   In fact, in the Gobi desert, it is very rare to ambush.

Just like the Mayi conspiracy in the Western Han Dynasty, in order to eliminate the Huns in one fell swoop, Emperor Wu of the Han used the power of the whole country and spent a lot of money and food to ambush elite soldiers in Mayi in an attempt to defeat the Huns in one fell swoop. Being attracted, he was about to fall into the encirclement. As a result, a small flaw in the Han army was found by the Huns, and the captured Han soldiers revealed their military situation, which eventually led to the Huns discovering the ambush of the Han army. The conspiracy also went bankrupt.

Even if the news is really blocked and the ambush is successful, it does not mean that you will definitely win, because you need a strong army to successfully complete the ambush, otherwise even if you surround the opponent, you may not be able to win. Instead, they gave meat to the other party for nothing.

During the Wanli Korean War in history, the Japanese pirates once ambushed the Ming army and sent thousands of cavalry as bait. As a result, the Ming army really plunged into the encirclement of the Japanese pirates, but the subsequent encirclement battle made the Japanese pirates It is miserable. The fighting power of the surrounded Ming cavalry was frighteningly high, and the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates were beaten back again and again by them. In the end, the Ming army even organized a counter-charge, and the Japanese pirates suffered heavy casualties. They had to take the initiative to turn in and gave up the siege...

So Taxa wants to use the Western Regions Allied Forces to ambush Zhang Liao, the idea is indeed good, but on the one hand, the Western Regions Allied Forces have no way to completely hide the traces and block the news, and on the other hand, they do not have enough combat power, even if it is really a step back However, Zhang Liao may not be able to surround Zhang Liao if he is ambushed.

   But now, the Allied Forces of the Western Regions don’t have to worry about ambushes, because Zhang Liao’s spear almost pierced their noses!

  The gorgeous three-color hussars flag and the fiery red battle flag representing the Han Dynasty fluttered high.

  Below these colorful flags, there is an array of cavalry of the Han army neatly lined up.

  Takesa, Busen, and some other generals and leaders of the Western Regions states looked at the inconspicuous hill in the distance at the same time from different positions, and looked at the Han army that suddenly appeared.

  They couldn’t imagine how the Han people came here, and they haven’t been discovered by them, maybe they were negligent, maybe their scouts were careless, maybe they were lax somewhere...

   Humans make mistakes.

  The scouts in the Western Regions are also ordinary soldiers, even ordinary herdsmen. They don't know what battlefield command is, let alone reconnaissance every detail, with clairvoyance and ears.

  Especially when they feel that they have a lot of people, they will subconsciously feel that the people around them are their own people, especially in the so-called "safe area", and it is even more impossible to investigate in detail, which may lead to disastrous consequences...

   It's just that many people still don't take it seriously before the disaster hits them. It's like Tagusa, who is still trying to calm himself down, saying that everything is in his plan.

  『Good job! Haha, the Han people are here! ”Tagusa pulled out a smile, but he didn’t know how calm or reluctant his smile was. He shouted to the orderly, “Notify the people of each country as quickly as possible. Command! Assemble on the spot! Then immediately send messengers to gather under my banner! Report location and number of people! We are going to fight here, destroy the army of the Han people, and completely defeat them! 』

   More than a dozen messengers saluted, beat their horses, and left in the dust.

   After a while, Tagusa sent another order: "Let people keep an eye on the military stronghold!" Gather two thousand-man teams on the side of the military camp. If the Han people rush out of the military camp, remember to let the Han people charge halfway before attacking! 』

  The messenger hurried away again.

   After a while, Tagusa looked around on the horse, and then shouted, "Hold on! Just hold on! Victory is ours! We have a lot of people! Victory must be ours! 』

Busen stood at the side and rear of the battlefield, watching the smoke and dust billowing from a distance, and the people and horses leaping. He couldn't help closing his eyes, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently. He didn't know if the Buddha in the sky or somewhere would Care about his prayers, will he respond to his piety...

  Takesa's response was quite satisfactory, and indeed showed his strength as a Guishuang veteran on some levels.

   But, that's all.

  Takesa had no experience in commanding such a large army before, so he had many problems that he hadn't solved. These problems have existed since the beginning, but he didn't have any good solutions, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb to a certain extent, as if he couldn't see or hear...

  As long as no one responds, or pretends not to see or hear, then it is not a problem.

   Actually?

The problem of logistics is the most obvious. Whenever there are too many people, there will inevitably be various food shortages, and even in some local areas, some people have nothing to eat, while others a few steps away have already The situation that has been eaten.

   Don’t look at this question as if it’s nothing, isn’t it just eating early and eating late? But in fact, people have the situation of not suffering from few but suffering from inequality, adding all kinds of fun spirits, booing, mocking, insulting, accusing, full and not hungry, standing up straight It's not sour, and if there are some distribution problems, it is inevitable to quarrel and conflict with each other.

Think about some special circumstances in future generations, even if there is a dedicated person to guarantee the supply, there is a slight difference in time, or if someone is missed, they will first scream in a certain letter, and then immediately develop in the direction of real person PK The situation is not difficult to understand.

  In addition to the logistics problem, there is another serious problem, which is the communication problem.

The soldiers led by Taxa are naturally Guishuang dialect, which is roughly regarded as the early Xiongnu language, which was produced after the evolution of the Da Yuezhi. In the Western Regions, there are also Sai people, Qiang people, and some other variant languages. Languages ​​may have some commonalities, but more differences in accents, and even serious oddities.

  It’s like in some local dialects of later generations, the two words “come and go” will appear at the same time, so does this mean coming or going?

Usually, when there is time, the messengers of Taxa, or the various states in the Western Regions, can still make slow gestures and communicate with each other with the help of hand gestures. When the war is about to start in the next moment, how much time will there be for these states with different languages ​​to give clear instructions and communicate smoothly?

  Taguza was aware of this problem before, but he didn't care.

Now Taxa's attention is all focused on Zhang Liao's side. Although he quickly issued an order and made arrangements according to the corresponding situation, when his messengers rushed out, they were in conflict with the states of the Western Regions. When the generals and leaders communicate, troubles inevitably arise.

  However, the above problems are not the most serious.

  When Zhang Liao raised his spear high and began to rush towards the Western Region Allied Forces controlled by Taxa, the biggest hidden danger of the Western Region Allied Forces was fully exposed...
