82. Inference
"The British will inevitably compress our space here, and they will definitely not give up," Li Man nodded, he followed Xue Pan's train of thought, and sure enough, the action of the King of Xianning County was a very reckless means, "But this method is indeed not bad," but he still thinks that this plan is good, "If you can really conquer Dhaka, it is not to say that you can conquer it, as long as you besiege Dhaka for a few days, you can force the Indian governor to submit, after all, Madrid Sihan, according to the previous analysis of the squad leader, is nothing more than waste utilization, First disgusting us, and then preparing for the conspiracy to restore, it is far less important than Bangladesh. ”
"The question is, can we accept casualties?" Xue Pan pointed out the core of the problem, "Can those people in Class A have casualties?" ”
As soon as Xue Pan said this, everyone suddenly realized, although they were all with troops, but these people were not soldiers, and naturally they could not accept casualties, especially those in Class A, in case there were any casualties, it must not be the Governor of India who could not bear it, but the people of Class A, especially those young talents who might win the throne, they must not make any mistakes, "If you take Madrid Sihan, but those princes have some three long and two short, unless you take the entire Tianzhu, Otherwise, there will be good fruit waiting for him to eat when he returns home. ”
Therefore, these people are afraid that they will not be able to attack Dhaka with all their might, "Moreover, they don't dare to have casualties at all, and if there is a slight sign of failure, it will inevitably collapse for thousands of miles," Xue Pan made such a conclusion, "The British haven't taken out anything, so we think Class A will definitely be able to take Dhaka?" Are we overestimating ourselves, or are we looking down on the British like this? ”
Everyone is silent, and there is indeed such an emotion, especially that Li Shaopu, who thought that he was Zhuge Kongming or Jiang Taigong Han Xin, who could make the British bow down with a wave of his hand, but after these days of training, Li Shaopu was still very arrogant on his face to Xue Pan, and he was quite convinced, "Then what should we do?" Leader, do you want to go back to Taniguchi? Where to attack and retreat, and where to retreat can be defended, the business travel can also collect taxes, it took a year and a half, and there is no need to worry about any food and grass supply. ”
"This can't be done," Xue Pan shook his head, "The land of Gukou is inevitably too far away from the Tianzhu mainland, if there is a change, we won't have time to react." Li Man, Jin Ning, do you think the British will do it in this war? Aggressive? ”
Li Man and Jin Ning looked at each other, "This ......"
Cao Cheng flipped through the booklet in his hand, "In ten days, Class A has occupied more than twelve market towns and British outposts, this speed and combat effectiveness are really terrifying. ”
"Speaking of which, I think of an allusion from the past, have you ever heard the story of retreating?" Xue Pan said quietly.
Where would people not know this story? In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to slander, killed the crown prince Shensheng, and sent people to arrest Shensheng's younger brother Chong'er. After hearing the news, he fled from the Jin Kingdom and lived in exile for more than ten years. After a lot of hardships, Chong'er came to the state of Chu. King Chu Cheng thought that Chong'er would have great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with the courtesy of a monarch and treated him like a guest. One day, the king of Chu set up a banquet to entertain Chong'er, and the two drank and talked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Chong'er: "If you return to the Jin Kingdom one day and become the king, how will you repay me?" Chong'er thought for a moment and said: "Beautiful women, treasures and silk, the king you have, rare bird feathers, ivory animal skins, and the abundance of Chu, how can there be any rare items in the Jin Kingdom to give to the king?" The king of Chu said, "The prince is too modest." That being said, you should always say something to me, right? He smiled and replied, "If it's your blessing." If I can really return to China and take power, I am willing to be friendly with your country. If one day, there is a war between the Jin and Chu kingdoms, I will definitely order the army to retreat three rounds (one room is equal to thirty miles), and if I can't get your forgiveness, I will fight you again. Four years later, Chong'er really returned to the Jin Kingdom and became the monarch, which is the famous Duke Wen of Jin in history. The state of Jin grew stronger under his rule. In 633 BC, the armies of Chu and Jin met while fighting. In order to fulfill the promise he made, Duke Wen of Jin ordered the army to retreat ninety miles back and stationed in Chengpu. When the Chu army saw the Jin army retreating, they thought that the other party was scared and immediately pursued. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride and underestimation of the enemy, concentrated its forces, broke the Chu army, and won the victory in the Battle of Chengpu.
"Could it be that," he said incredulously, "is it that the Governor of Bengal is emulating the old tricks of Duke Wen of Jin?" ”
"The king of Xianning just led troops in Goryeo, as far as I know, he did not participate in any major battles, you must know that the new army is in Goryeo, and it has also taken a lot of effort to face the army of Fuso, is it possible, the British are not as good as Fuso? In this section, even if it is said that there are few British soldiers, I don't think so. ”
"If that's the case, Class A is in danger!" Jin Ningshu stood up, "Could it be that the British are engaged in a decisive battle with Class A under the city of Dhaka?" ”
"Although this is the prediction of the head of the class, there is still a chance that it is possible," Li Man's face was a little pale, but he seemed to be a little happy, "If this is the case, I am afraid that they will have to suffer under the city of Dhaka." ”
"This is just speculation, it depends on what is going on in New Delhi, send our people, and then ask if there is any news from the people at the Minuis here? Let's not do anything, as long as the latest news, they will definitely give it. ”
The funeral office was afraid that it was not so easy to call, Li Man was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed, "I want to see if there is any movement in New Delhi, if there are reinforcements going to Bangladesh, I will definitely be able to inquire." ”
"Therefore I want a comprehensive report on the number of soldiers of the Indian Viceroy stationed in various places, and this matter cannot be delayed," Xue Pan instructed Li Man, "and it must be done." ”
"Shall we go warn, then?" Cao Cheng asked Xue Pan, "If this is true, I'm afraid that Class A is in trouble." ”
Xue Pan groaned slightly, everyone looked at Xue Pan, waiting for him to make a decision, Xue Pan didn't show a look on his face, but he scolded in his heart, can he not warn? Otherwise, where will you have your own good fruit to eat in the future?
Before he could speak, Lu Lianshan arrived in a moment, "Class leader, Class A sent a man from Chiayi County to ask us for the materials transported from Shuzhong, how to send him?" ”
"Send him?" Xue Pan smiled slightly, "Yes, let Ying Lao Si send our inference back." ”
