Chapter 2879: I was also very energetic back then
Although Chen Xi also has some strange plans, compared to strange plans that will be exposed, Chen Xi will never be clever when it comes to major issues that determine the fate of the country.
Some things can be quickly achieved, results can be obtained, and failure can be allowed, but some things are better slow, spend more effort, and some manpower and material resources as long as the results do not go wrong.
This time, immigration to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River is a process that can be regarded as not seen. As long as the result is a major event that really involves the country for generations.
This is also not necessary to advance three times, but for the sake of safety and to avoid possible behavior of cutting off reinforcements by the other party, Chen Xi did not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to attack from three directions at the same time. Sometimes it is a very good method to consume.
"If you march from the north, the mountains there are very difficult to solve." Cheng Yu had thought about the issue of march from the north before, but was rejected by Chen Xi at that time. However, this time Chen Xi planned to try going south from the Pamir Mountains.
"In fact, except for the fact that the broken place is still reliable to advance from the southern part of Yizhou, it is not reliable to advance in other aspects." Chen Xi said helplessly with his hands spread.
"Let me explain." Jia Xu took out a piece of information and handed it to Cheng Yu and others, "The geographical conditions in the Kushan country are really good."
"This is Peshawar." Jia Xu pointed to Peshawar and said, "The north of most of the Kushan area is the Himalayas, with a length of about 5,000 miles and an average height of 6,000 to 7,000. We are definitely not something we can cross. Moreover, the north of the mountain is a plateau, which is almost four or five thousand. We drove a group of Qiang people who could live on the plateau and occupied the territory, but they were basically uncombat... "
Xun Yu and others looked at Jia Xu's terrain map that he didn't know how to get it, and the contour lines in units of thousands drawn from time to time on the terrain map, and their complexion was a little wrong.
"The average height of the Hindu Kush Mountains in the northwest is almost lower than the previous one, almost more than 5,000, but you all know that this height is not something that a large army can pass." Jia Xu looked helpless, and Fa Zheng rolled his eyes when he looked at the map.
"The Suleiman Mountains in the west are about 3,000 high. According to the level of some of our elite mountain legions, it is not difficult to climb over." Jia Xu pointed to the large mountain range west of Peshawar and said, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"The problem is that this mountain range is not the Qinling Mountains or the ones we think of, but one piece. This mountain range covers almost a thousand miles." Jia Xu looked at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but frowned. This means there is no way to fight, right?
"Actually, this is not the biggest trouble. The Suleiman Mountains are a composite desert and mountainous place. There will be large areas of desert between large mountainous areas, so the logistics required from here is enough to make people desperate." Jia Xu sighed and said.
To be honest, when Jia Xu got the northern terrain survey report on Kushan and related maps, Jia Xu said that his heart was collapsed because the geographical advantage was too desperate, and he just said that you could not fight here at all.
Fortunately, God has not been so crazy about doing things, and at least he is a little bit honest. After spending a lot of time studying this place in a very detailed manner, he finally confirmed that there is really a way to get into this place.
This road is the valley between the Hindu Kush Mountains and the Suleiman Mountains. The valley forms the Kabul River Valley and walks along the valley. Entering the narrowest point in the Khyber Mountain area, this place is called the Khyber Pass. After leaving here, you enter the Indian plain.
By the way, after leaving this place, it was only a dozen kilometers away from Peshawar, the capital of Kushan. It can be said that the Kushan capital was blocked at the only key point of Kushan. To some extent, the Kushan practice of arranging the capital near the Khyber Pass was similar to the practice of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty guarding the country's gates and kings dying for the country.
By the way, the death of this country is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen capsized in the north, and the south was still cheering for the unlucky child in the north. Similarly, Visultep II fell in the north, and the Brahmins in the south distributed Kushan's inheritance without hesitation.
It has to be said that history really has some extremely high similarity.
However, whether it is similar or not, it has no effect on Jia Xu. He found a road from the north of Kushan, and it was also a road that could be passed through. Then check the history of Kushan and confirmed that this road had been passed by in the ancient Aryan era, and from here it entered and destroyed the Indus River civilization.
Later, during the period of the Sixteen Great Kingdoms in India, the Persian Empire entered this place.
Behind them are Alexander and the Great Yuezhi who now enters India, etc., which basically pass from this place from the north to the south.
However, after learning about this road that can enter the South Asian Plain, Jia Xu took a clear look at Kushan and then felt a sense of urgency.
The only place in this country that can be called the key is Khyber Pass. However, the emperor of this country set up all the country before Khyber Pass. Even Jia Xu was shocked by this kind of courage. Perhaps Kushan was indeed poisoned, but at least they did have this kind of courage.
Although the Han Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the iron-clad Han Dynasty was still very touched by the iron-clad Han Dynasty, where the emperor guarded the country and the king died.
Therefore, when it was confirmed that what Kushan is doing now was completely a routine with the Ming Dynasty in later generations, Chen Xi also felt deeply moved that the Kushan was about to be destroyed, and my royal family stood before the country, and my Dayuezhi royal family did not fall, and Kushan would never fall.
This kind of practice of putting the country under the only key to the country is even more admirable. Even Jia Xu admired it very much after confirming it, but admired it because he admired it. This path must be used.
"The capital of this country, Peshawar, is thirty miles from this estuary?" Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Pang Tong and others all looked at Jia Xu in shock. They were also shocked when they heard the news.
"Yes, the Khyber Pass is the only passage that can enter the Indian plain. After this passage is out, Peshawar is thirty miles away." Jia Xu nodded and said, "If you don't say anything else about the Kushan country, you do have a sense of spirit and awareness. Unfortunately, their main ethnic groups are too small and do not have absolute advantages. The poisoning in the south is too deep, otherwise it will be very powerful."
Cheng Yu and others nodded silently. If they want to be prepared for danger in times of peace, it is the most correct way to put the country in the only key point. Moreover, with the protection provided by Peshawar, it is very difficult for a normal army to defeat it. In this way, the last fatal key of Kushan will disappear.
"So, Kushan might not have enough power a hundred years ago, but at that time, their country definitely had the kind of wise men who had been looking at thousands of years. It was not easy for any country to rise. They were completely different from countries like us that have a complete inheritance." Chen Xi said with emotion.
Speaking of which, Chen Xi looked at the location of Peshawar and relied on the history of later generations, he believed that the Kushan moved the capital here to balance the situation in the north and south. As for the other Chen Xi, he did not make any in-depth considerations until Jia Xu came to Chen Xi with materials one day.
At that time, Chen Xi understood what the location of the Kushan capital meant to Kushan. Indeed, that capital did have the significance of balancing the north and south trends, but combined with the clear materials written by Jia Xu, Chen Xi realized that this capital had another meaning.
Chen Xi had to look up to Kushan at this point, and there was no need to say anything else. This kind of backbone alone was enough to make people look up to it. As for ability, that was something else.
"So, that is, we take a detour from the rest side, walk through the Kabul River Valley, and finally attack Peshawar through the Khyber Pass?" Pang Tong had already understood Chen Xi's idea, but this operation is really unlikely to be completed.
"Well, it's indeed this plan. The coverage of the Suleiman Mountains is so large that we couldn't find the road on the Pamirs before. Later, we checked the history and confirmed that there was indeed a road on a large circle from the southeast of Anxu." Jia Xu nodded and said.
"There is only one way to fight. As long as the opponent locks it, it will be difficult for us to get a result. Moreover, the opponent's country is under that fatal key. How can we easily pass there?" Pang Tong said seriously.
"After all, when you go out, you are directly facing the foundation of the Kushan Empire. They cannot be careless. Kushan must have read this road very hard." Pang Tong accepted the official document and said with a serious expression.
"There is no doubt that this is true. Kushan puts the foundation of the country in his own key points, which means that anyone who goes there will be a life of their lives, and another possibility will appear, that is, as long as we win a few battles there, their attention across the country must be placed there!" Jia Xu said with a calm expression.
No one can deny this. It is just like being beaten by Nanyue and being beaten by Chang'an. The former can be said to be a mustard disease, while the latter is a shake of the foundation of the country.
Therefore, if both happen at the same time, of course the latter is far more important than the former, and Jia Xu's meaning is to use this method to involve Kushan's energy.
