Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4991 The reason for destruction

Guo Jia actually wanted to suggest the pacification of the Shang Shung Dynasty, because this would best solve the problem of Fu Ward's sending troops to the Qinghai-Tibet region. People have to eat, and the Han Dynasty considered logistics issues. It is absolutely impossible for Fu Ward to solve logistics by carrying food and grass.

At present, in the Qinghai-Tibet region, only the Shangshung Dynasty is the only force that can provide food and grass. According to Guo Jia’s understanding, the population of this country should be 40. It can still rise a little bit, but the food and grass that these forces can provide is definitely limited.

If the Shangshung Dynasty can be pacified, many problems will be solved, but Guo Jia can’t say this. On the one hand, he is not sure of this, and on the other hand, this kind of behavior is more like forcing the Shangshung Dynasty to take refuge in Guishuang .

Once the Shangshung Dynasty and Guishuang are united, it will be very difficult for the Han Dynasty to wipe them out in Qinghai-Tibet.

"Kong Ming, why are you a little distracted?" Liu Bei looked at the group of civil servants who were discussing, glanced at Zhuge Liang from the corner of his eye, and found that Zhuge Liang, who was usually extremely focused, was a little distracted this time.

"I'm thinking about one thing. We don't have a complete map of the Qinghai-Tibet region. How on earth did Fu Ward enter Qinghai-Tibet?" Zhuge Liang said slowly, and everyone present couldn't help being stunned. "If there is no map and guide, even if the If the strategy is correct, you will die in that kind of place, in the uninhabited land of millions of square kilometers, tens of thousands of troops can't even take a bubble."

Guides are very precious creatures for foreigners. In places like Qinghai-Tibet, without a guide and a map, there is only one dead end if you dare to enter.

The others also frowned and thought about it when they heard the words. Indeed, Fu Ward can be regarded as a figure who makes decisions before acting. It is impossible to directly attack Qingzang without knowing anything, but none of their Han Dynasty has a guide there. Where did Fu Ward come from.

When Chen Xi heard the words, he was thoughtful. He had already guessed where the guide of Fuwad came from, from the Nepal area of ​​later generations, and the current state of Krats, because the Nepal area has been the birthplace of Buddhism since ancient times. , has considerable appeal to Tibetan Buddhism.

Of course, the influence of this period is still quite slight, and it will have to wait until the period of Tubo to really prevail, but during this period, Cratics had some exchanges with the Zhang Zhung Dynasty. The princess, the relationship is quite good.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi naturally thought of another way, from the Qinghai-Tibet region across the Himalayas to the Nepal region of later generations, and went straight to Guishuang's deathbed.

This tactic sounds incredible, but if you think about it carefully, this tactic has been implemented in history and has been successful.

Therefore, Chen Xi listened to Zhuge Liang's narration and began to recall his historical materials that were not very impressive, and finally decided that it was really possible to march from Qinghai, cross Tibetan areas, cross the Himalayas, pass Nepal, and directly stabbed Guishuang to death!

Fukang'an did this once in history. In the Battle of Gurkha, Fukang'an personally led a [-]-day march across Tibet, defeated the Kuo army, directly crossed the Himalayas, and besieged Kathmandu in Nepal at that time.

So logically speaking, this thing can be done by human beings. Although tens of thousands of horses crossed the Himalayas and entered Kathmandu, there were only 6000 people left, but at least it proves that there is definitely a road from the Himalayas to the opposite side.

"Zi Chuan, after Kong Ming's mind wandered, why did you lose his mind too?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked strangely, but Chen Xi often lost his mind, so there was nothing surprising about it.

"Kong Ming's words reminded me that besides the three current roads to attack Guishuang, there is another road in Qinghai-Tibet, a road that goes directly to Guishuang's vital points." Chen Xi said slowly, "Furward's The guide is from the Nepal area, and there has always been communication between that place and the Tibetan area, and there is definitely a way there."

It is true that that road is difficult to walk, but that road has been proven in history, so the Han Dynasty can also try it.

"Wait, does that mean that Guishuang can transport grain to the Tibetan area by that road?" Jia Xu's face became even more ugly. The news about you is worse than before. If you transport food, then you will be in big trouble.

"Theoretically it is possible, but it should be unrealistic at present." Chen Xi thought about the history of thousands of years. Even in the battle of Gurkhas, the Gurkhas relied more on food and grass from Tibetan areas to fight against the Qing Dynasty. , although a certain amount of food and grass was also transported from the rear, but the scale was small, only enough for emergency, and the terrain of the place was not ordinary.

"That's possible?" Li You tacitly believes that all theoretically bad events may happen, "In this case, if the other party launches troops in this direction, we will be very uncomfortable because of logistics, transportation and plateau climate. ?”

"Well, I thought about it carefully, and it seems that there is no need to worry about the other party going there on a large scale, and it seems unrealistic to transport food." Chen Xi recalled for a while, and then remembered what the problem was. This period was the Little Ice Age, and the Qing Dynasty Sometimes not.

If he continues to think like this, Chen Xi can understand why Tubo can infiltrate into the Nepal area. The mountain road that exists in the Himalayas is likely to be difficult to pass because of snow cover and frozen soil.

Recall the most famous description of the Himalayas, that is, the north side is more steep, while the south side is gentler. When it comes to the climate, Chen Xi has already vaguely guessed the reason. The most likely reason is that the southern slope has enough rain during the Little Ice Age. The road is completely closed.

Based on this point of view, it is possible to pass from the north slope to the south slope, because the north slope is a plateau, while the south slope is a gentle slope. When the snow is thick enough, the north slope is in skiing mode. As long as the road is correct, it is possible It takes only a short time to reach Nepal.

In fact, even if the road is not correct, as long as the direction is correct, you will definitely be able to reach the opposite side, because it is impossible to make mistakes in the general direction when descending from the plateau to the plain.

The only disadvantage is probably that this road can only be walked once during the Little Ice Age, and if you want to return after passing, you can only choose to go around the Ganges Plain and go to the Wenjia area, cross the Indo-China Peninsula, go north and return to the Han Dynasty, or just go back to Han Dynasty. It is possible to go north through the Indus River Valley, cross the Hindu Kush Mountains, and go to the Western Regions to enter the core area of ​​the Han Dynasty.

For the legion, this is an unimaginable point of no return, but as a surprise soldier, Chen Xi has to admit that this is simply a lore. As long as the time is correct, it is not impossible to stab Guishuang to death at once things.

This is much, much more terrifying than taking the Yinping trail to attack Sichuan, Sichuan and Chengdu.

"Are you sure you can't go there?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi puzzled, he really felt that Chen Xi's behavior sometimes made people feel very confused.

"I can't walk." Chen Xi shook his head. As he recalled, many high school geography introductions to the southern and northern slopes of the Himalayas came to mind.

If Chen Xi remembers correctly, the rainfall on the southern slope of the Himalayas can reach a level of 6000 millimeters. The snow line on the southern slope is 5200 meters high in normal years, and it might drop to about 4000 meters during the Little Ice Age. At 4000 meters, it is impossible to enter the Qinghai-Tibet region from the Himalayas on the southern slope anyway.

Because the road was completely blocked by snow of more than ten meters or even tens of meters thick, there might be some way to solve it in modern times. The road is basically blocked.

On the contrary, traveling in the opposite direction from the Beipo Tibetan area will become very easy as long as you are not afraid of death.

"In this case, let's not consider the possibility of Guishuang transporting grain and grass to the Tibetan area from this possible mountain road." Liu Ye also took a lot of seriousness at this time. After all, Fu Ward went to the Tibetan area. The record, delaying the success, wait until the time is almost enough, mobilize the dead soldiers to attack Chang'an, even if the dead soldiers are killed in Chang'an, the face of the Han Dynasty will also be lost.

Therefore, Liu Ye didn't want to make a loophole at all, if he could kill Fu Ward as soon as possible, it would be better to kill him as soon as possible, so as to save the next one from missing and lose face.

"Mobilize the backbone of Congling, the two grandsons of the Ganges, and go to Qingzang to lead the local Qiang people to hunt. Let Dahonghe send envoys, escorted by the Qiang people to the Zhang Zhung Dynasty, and confirm the attitude of the Zhang Zhung Dynasty." Li You With a calm expression, he made a complete plan, "West Sichuan, Jiangyou, Fucheng, and Mianzhu areas strengthen protection, Chang'an garrison enters Hanzhong, Liangzhou and Xinzhou perform actual military service."

Although Li You is a ruthless person, if Guishuang really seizes the opportunity to attack Chang'an with a wave of dead soldiers, even if they are all killed, the face of the Han Dynasty will be almost lost, so Hanzhong must be blocked. , must not be ashamed.

Li You in Xinzhou doesn’t really care too much. If Nanjiang blows up, it’s a big deal to rebuild. Anyway, there are no pots and pans there. Let a group of Liangzhou soldiers fight there if they meet them. As long as Fu Ward doesn’t seize the opportunity to go to Xinzhou North of the state will do.

It doesn't matter to Li You in Liangzhou, even though the population is the least in the thirteen prefectures in the Central Plains, but maybe Liangzhou is the most capable of fighting in the thirteen prefectures. On the contrary, Hanzhong and Yizhou are a bit empty.

The natural dangers of Hanzhong and Yizhou are basically non-existent for the opponents who came down from the Tibetan area. Many passes and fortresses even need to be re-deployed to defend against the enemies on the west side. These are big problems. The combat effectiveness of the Yizhou army relies on mountains and rivers The defense is okay, but without the power of mountains and rivers, you can only rely on Zhang Ren's kind of ghosts and gods. The problem is that ghosts and gods are not there!

"First determine the attitude of the Zhang Zhung Dynasty, this is the most important." Chen Xi nodded. It would be best if Zhang Zhung was willing to fall to the Han Dynasty. , then there is a reason to destroy it.
