Chapter 3886 The real reason
"I'll go and discuss with General Xiahou." After thinking about it, Lu Meng still felt that it was necessary to inform Yu Xiahou Yuan of the situation he had speculated. Not to mention what judgment the other party would make, at least he had to fulfill his obligations.
When Lu Meng passed by, Xiahou Yuan was working on the marching map. Even though the Lezistan Desert had been gone countless times, the broken terrain and a strong wind in the deep valley would cause the desert hills to move, so some special reference objects were needed for comparison.
Although Chen Qun had nothing to do, he suggested that he could try to plant sea buckthorn in the desert. Of course, the purpose was not for output, but as a reference for the route. A strong wind passed, and most of the desert was covered up and he could not even recognize the road.
After all, the changing desert hills made it inevitable that Cao's army would need to identify personnel in a more professional direction. This kind of personnel is too rare and it is not easy to cultivate. So, it is better to plant some desert plants and pretend that there is an observable road here.
However, this plan was later rejected by Xun Yu. Sea buckthorn and other things can be planted. The problem is that human resources at this stage should not be wasted here. Water conservancy construction should be carried out first. Others can be delayed later. Try to delay as much as possible.
So much so that when Xiahou Yuan and others travel from Kandahar to Herat, they still need to rely on experience and compass to judge the location and location.
"Zi Ming, you are here." Xiahou Yuan nodded to Lu Meng and said. Xiahou Yuan was still very good at Lu Meng's senses. This is a very hardworking young man with very excellent qualifications and very promising.
"I learned some strange information from the metaphysical channels of the side gate." Lu Meng nodded and went straight to the topic. In terms of information about war, when he was trapped in others, he would also affect himself, so Lu Meng went straight to the topic.
"Metaphysical Channel?" Xiahou Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh, Zhongmou's intuition?"
"Well, yes, Zhongmou said yes, the farther he is from Kandahar, the less dangerous he feels, and the more blurred his feelings." Lu Meng gave a reply directly. Xiahou Yuan narrowed his eyes half-squinted when he heard this, and a series of speculations appeared in his heart.
"Is the main battlefield in Kandahar?" Xiahou Yuan almost got the same answer as Lu Meng.
"I also think so. In this way, it is actually more in line with Arda Hill's attitude. Logically speaking, it is indeed impossible for him to devote all his strength to the battle with us. Once he suffers heavy losses, he will be in vain." Lu Meng is also half a military advisor, so based on this possibility, he expressed his own speculation.
"In this case, the biggest possibility should be the Bolun Pass. Last time, Xun Lingjun took the initiative to attack and tried to lure the snake out of the hole. As a result, the Kushan soldiers on the Bolun Pass did not take action. Although they cleaned up the two or five people in the army, the people in Kandahar did not clean up." Xiahou Yuan sighed and said, this was not a secret on Cao Cao's side.
The time when Kandahar was empty was actually to make all the remaining guys who were looking for Kushan in Kandahar jump out. After all, if Kushan troops left the Polun Pass and attacked inside and outside, Cao Cao's main force was actually very dangerous under the situation outside.
However, Zhu Helai killed the initiative and took the initiative, which made the remaining hearts in Kandahar lurked towards the Kushan guy, so that there was no way to completely solve the problem so far.
After all, Kandahar is not a place that has been defeated by his ability, and it is impossible to directly seize it as a winner. Therefore, some hidden dangers cannot be dealt with without solid evidence. This is also a well-known reality for the upper class of Cao's army.
"I feel the same way, but I'm worried about other possibilities." Lu Meng sighed and said, "Then should we continue to accelerate the march to Herat, or do it cheaply? As of now, Zhongmou's judgment of danger has never made any mistakes."
In fact, the so-called cheap behavior is actually to send Huaxiong back to Kandahar, which slowed down their marching speed.
Xiahou Yuan, Lu Meng, Wei Yan and Huaxiong arranged by Cao Cao are all corpses with the ability to maintain high-speed marching in complex terrain.
Needless to say, Xiahou Yuan is a commander who is famous for his marching speed. Lu Meng said that Xiahou Yuan can march so quickly with the talent of the legion, so I can just learn and learn. Wei Yan said that both of them can be used, so I should be able to double the number of them.
Only Hua Xiong has an average marching speed, but Hua Xiong is the military spirit and has infinite physical strength. So it is slower to be slower, and the daily marching market will be longer.
But in essence, Xiahou Yuan, Lu Meng, and Wei Yan actually took care of Hua Xiong's marching speed, otherwise these three guys would definitely be able to run faster.
After all, these three guys actually have certain talent effects to strengthen physical strength. Although they are far from infinitely different, they are enough to give these three guys enough physical strength to march longer every day.
However, before, both Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan and others considered a small probability, that is, they accidentally encountered the Holy Death Knight.
Although this possibility is not great, Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan and others think it is better to be more careful, so Hua Xiong came with him, and his main task was to suppress the Holy Death Cavalry.
After all, there are only a handful of legions under Cao's army that can fight against the Holy Cavalry. If one of them is unlucky and the Xiahou Yuan people are gone, Cao Cao will not cry to death.
Cao Cao wouldn't think of anything that can be used to fight against the Holy Camel Cavalry with the Camel Rider. That's just a dream. Think about it, when Li Jue dealt with Fu Ward, he ended up failing with a move, and almost went to the underworld to report.
That's because Fu Ward's headquarters was full of imperial guards at that time. Nowadays, imperial guards have become a very distant dream. It's very difficult to achieve imperial guards. Double talent and a few imperial guards are mixed to work in the Miracle Legion? No insurance...
"Forget it, General Hua must take it with us. We can take it first, but we cannot let General Hua return to Kandahar. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry can be said to be our last insurance." Xiahou Yuan thought about it but refused, this act of dying.
Sun Quan's ability is very useful, but Sun Quan's ability has time limits and fluctuations, and can only be used as a high-quality reference. Planning still requires continuing planning.
"Then I will notify General Hua that we will accelerate the march from tomorrow." Lu Meng also understood what Xiahou Yuan meant, so he suggested. Xiahou Yuan nodded after hearing this.
Soon, Hua Xiong in the rear received a sad news. From tomorrow on, Xiahou Yuan and his friends were going to speed up to Herat. Hua Xiong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Who made the Divine Iron Cavalry only at 80% of the speed of normal cavalry?
Although such speed is enough to show off among the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, it is really embarrassing to disperse for ordinary cavalry.
At the same time, Ardashir received urgent information about the fall of the Caucasus region, or was sent by the Sulun family.
When Ardashire received the secret letter, he couldn't help but sigh. When he was doing this, he knew that once he started, he would not be able to turn back. It was almost a matter of time before the Caucasus was captured, but he did not expect the revenge to come so quickly.
Just like Ardashire resisted going to Africa, he would lose his righteousness when he went to Africa. Ardashire attacked Herat also meant division.
Even though the Han Dynasty did something extraordinary, there were many people and middle and lower classes under Ardashire who had hope for the Han Dynasty. It was precisely because of the existence of these people that Ardashire could not have been able to leave all his nests, and he could only take away his headquarters that absolutely obeyed his own orders.
As for the others, Aldashir had already given up when he made his choice. If he really took the people from the Caucasus to Herat, Aldashir might still be on the edge of the Caspian Sea at this time.
To accomplish this, Ardashire was destined to be able to go lightly and only once, which was actually equivalent to putting one death and then having a life. If he lost, he would have nothing.
"Statius, what you guessed is really correct. The Han family really attacked the Caucasus when we left for the front and didn't even determine the true direction of our offensive." Ardashir looked at Statius calmly, with a lonely expression. At this moment, Ardashir knew clearly that he was not the savior of rest, but was fighting for himself.
"Those people are not stupid. They should even say that they are really very wise, with no lack of vision and ability. Now, the general should have understood that if you take this step, you can only move forward." Statius said calmly.
"Yes, there is no turning back, so we must help Kushan win!" Ardashir looked at Statius. Now he has adjusted his mindset.
"Yes, I don't quite agree with Bankim, but he said one thing correctly. The Han Dynasty was fighting with the idea of destroying the Kushans." Statius sighed. "It is precisely because of this practice that we have a real place to live, and it is different from the restricted place to live in the Caucasus."
Statius is not good at military strategies, and how to fight is Ardashir's business. As the deputy who helped Ardashir establish Sassanthes, what he is good at is actually long-term planning.
Just like Statius finally agreed with the reason why Ardashir's plan to send Herat was not because of the change of heaven. The change of heaven only gave such an opportunity. The real reason was very simple. Vesutva I's diplomatic skills, plus the Han Dynasty's intention to destroy the Kushans.
