The Three Kingdoms

Meng Gongwei looked at the two of them, and took a step back selectively.

"We need to discuss it!"

"can!"

Meng Gongwei nodded, and then walked out of the hall: "I'll wait for a day, and after a day, if you can't give me an answer, the Han Sui army outside the city will attack the city, so you can do it yourself!"

"Old Gai, what do you think?" In the lobby, Ban Lu looked at Meng Gongwei's back and asked through gritted teeth.

"The situation is stronger than people!"

Gai Ling said with a wry smile: "If you become tens of thousands of soldiers, once you fight, as Meng Gongwei said, both sides will suffer. They still have the strength to escape, and we can only become prisoners of the countries of the Western Regions. Don't forget that King Qiuci wanted to When you want to take it to the city, you cut off an ear, he is eyeing, if he finds the opportunity, he will definitely wait for his death!"

"Can we trust them?"

Ban Lu seemed to be asking Gai Ling, but also himself.To be continued.

[Chapter [-] of the text, Great Wu's Western Expedition, Extinguishing Guishuang [-]]

In the end, Ban Lu let go, not because he believed what Meng Gongwei said, but because in this vast Western Region, they are all from the Central Plains, and if they can support each other, he doesn't want to kill each other.

After all, his enemies have always been the countries of the Western Regions, and the exclusion he has received in these years also comes from the countries of the Western Regions.

If Han Sui's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were backed up, they would be able to live with a straight back in the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

So he opened the city gate and brought all Han Sui's troops into the city.

After Han Sui's army entered Gancheng, the total number of soldiers and horses in the Protectorate of the Western Regions was nearly [-]. The Protectorate of the Western Regions, which had been weak for many years, began to burst into vigorous strength at this moment.

Of course, there is still a need for fusion between the two forces.

In this regard, not only Han Sui, but also Ban Lu are worried about the inappropriateness. The above-mentioned peace talks do not mean that the soldiers can live in peace. heart, there will naturally be conflicts.

Fortunately, the generals on both sides were suppressing, but no major conflict was brewing.

After more than ten days of running in with each other, plus Meng Gongwei representing the Great Wu Dynasty, mediating the conflict between the two sides, a short-term alliance was formed between the Western Regions Protectorate Army and Han Sui's army.

On this day, the weather was fine, and the wind and sand outside the city had dissipated. Under the sunlight, on the ceremonial hall of the Duhu Mansion, Han Suijun and the generals of the Duhu Army gathered together to discuss military affairs.

"General Han, there is one thing that we must make clear to you in the Protectorate. Its ability to conquer the city alone cannot support tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. In a month at most, we will run out of food and grass!"

Gai Ling looked at Han Sui, and spoke first.

The total population of its Gancheng is only tens of thousands. Although there are some farms, it can be regarded as a wealthy title in the Western Regions, but it is already very difficult to support [-] soldiers and horses.Now that [-] soldiers and horses have been added at once, it is impossible to support them.

Now that Han Sui's soldiers and horses are stationed, logistics has become their biggest problem.

"Banduhu, I don't think this is a problem. Its dry city cannot support our soldiers. The combined cities of Kucha Kingdom should be able to feed our soldiers. If Kucha Kingdom can't support it, dozens of small countries in the Western Regions will still be able to feed them. Won't you come down?"

Han Sui didn't speak, and Yan Xing spoke.Yan Xing's eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit: "We now have its dry city as our foundation. With the strength of our troops, it is enough to kill in the Western Regions. If there is no logistics, then use war to support war!"

"You want to take the initiative?"

When Ban Lu heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, and there was a trace of astonishment in his expression.

These years they have been struggling to guard its dry city, without the support of the Central Plains, isolated and helpless, surrounded by the Kucha and Wusun countries.Life is very difficult, you can only barely get by, and you can't even defend, let alone attack.

So they seldom think in this direction. Now that Yan Xing said this, Ban Lu's blood boiled a little.

"Can't you?"

Han Sui smiled lightly, and there was a sense of arrogance from the Central Plains people in his words: "What a demeanor Ban Dingyuan was back then, wouldn't it be possible for me in the Central Plains to be bullied by the barbarians? In the past, your strength was weak, so you could only hold on to it and do it. But now we have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the armor and weapons we use are a bit backward in the Central Plains, but they are definitely top-notch in the Western Regions. Can't we deal with them?"

"Since General Han has such arrogance, we are naturally not afraid of a battle. Where do you want to fight first?"

Ban Lu's heart moved, and his expression immediately cheered up.

For the tens of thousands of people who fought for it in the past, he could only be bullied by the barbarian country time and time again.In fact, he has long wanted to do a good job in his heart.

"I want to learn about the terrain of the Western Regions first!" Yan Xing said cautiously.

"Old Gai, bring me the map!"

Ban Lu whispered a word to Gai Ling beside him.

"Yes!"

Gailing stood up, spread out a very rough sheepskin map, pointed to the curved lines in it, and marked a hazy area: "This is the Gancheng where we are, and Yancheng is to the north. In the past, it was Wulei City, Wensu to the west, the Tarim River to the south, and the desert to the southwest..."

"Why do I think this map is a bit confused!"

The corner of Han Sui's mouth twitched.

"My lord, there is a big gap between this map and the map marked in the Central Plains. I can only barely draw the direction. As for the distance measurement between the cities, how many roads are there, where are the rivers, and where are the deserts, they are not marked. March according to this map. , is not good for us!" Yan Xing said.

The Western Regions are still far behind the Central Plains. Whether it is daily life or military supplies, they are still in the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, in the Central Plains today, most of them use marching sand tables, and even the marching maps are marked in detail.

Han Sui naturally couldn't make the turn.

"You should look at my map!"

Meng Gongwei took out a detailed marching map of the Western Regions from a cylinder, and spread it out in front of the generals.

"This marching map is so detailed. It not only clearly demarcates Wusun, Dawan, Qiuci, and the small countries of Cheshi, but also marks the hidden trails. How do you know the terrain of the Western Regions so well?"

Ban Lu is a master military adviser, so he naturally understands the importance of this map, so when he saw this marching map, his complexion changed slightly.

"Ha ha!"

Meng Gongwei smiled, and said proudly: "This is the hard work of our Jinyiwei in the Western Regions for many years. Since His Majesty Sun Quan ascended the throne in the Great Wu Dynasty, his ambition is for the world. His Majesty Sun Quan once said that the place where the sun shines in the sky The territory that our great Wu wants to conquer, so we have sent many scouts and spies into the Western Regions as merchants in the early years to inquire about news and survey the terrain. Otherwise, you think that Han Gong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can cross so easily Desert one after another, enter the Western Regions?"

Since the navy entered Guishuang, Jin Yiwei has been sending many spies into the Western Regions to explore the terrain. After all, there are roads to march, and it is very important to understand every terrain.

"Now I'm starting to believe what you're saying!"

Hearing this, Ban Lu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

If there is no three to five years for this marching map, a lot of manpower and material resources have not been invested.It is absolutely impossible to draw it, which is enough to prove that Soochow has long been prepared for the Western Regions.

"Soochow's vision is really long-term, and no one in the Central Plains can compare it!"

Hearing this, Han Sui sighed involuntarily.Then he set his sights on the detailed marching map: "A very detailed marching map, with its Gancheng as the core, it shouldn't be difficult to make a sand table!"

"I have ordered people to do it, and it will take a few days to complete!"

Meng Gongwei said: "The matter of marching. Han Gong, you are better than me, so let's talk about the goal first!"

"Okay, let's talk about the target of the attack in detail. In the north of the Western Regions, Wusun is definitely the largest country, and then there are Kucha and Che Shi. The first one we want to take should be Kucha, and Yancheng is our second. A target!" Han Sui said, pointing to the map.
