Volume 3 Chapter 419 The Soldier is on Hold
What is the situation in the court of rest, I won't say much here, and the next movement is just as Zhou Yu expected, Kayili wrote to ask Hassan Keyin how the battle situation was, and Hassan Keyin understood the implied meaning of Kassan's letter, which means that he had gathered the main forces on the north bank before, and the relevant preparations were relatively sufficient, and I believe that Lu Ren's strict defense of Hassan Keyin on the north bank in a short period of time will be difficult to break.
In other words, Hassan was able to buy Kasili some time, some time to deal with the Sassanids on Palcis's side. However, Hassan Keyin also reiterated in his reply that if the current situation is based on the current situation, he can only help Kass Eli for about three months at most, and if he does not get reinforcements from Kassili for more than these three months, Hassan Keyin will not dare to guarantee anything, unless there is a major change on Lu Ren's side.
Trimester? Of course, such a time is not satisfactory to Kassanki, but at this time, Kasili and the gang of people who are staring at Hassan Keyin are really not good to say anything more about Hassan Keyin.
However, three months is not a long time, and it is not too short to say that it is not a short time, if Cassy Eli can seize the time to be ruthless against the Sassanid family, with the current strength of the Sassanid family, it is a bit unrealistic to say that they will be exterminated, but it is still relatively possible to defeat several important towns in the Parsis region, especially the core Farrar City.
As long as a few important towns like Khora are returned to the hands of Kasili, the situation in the Parsis region can be basically controlled, and in the meantime, Neckas Eli can use the influence she has established in the Parsis region to gradually restore stability, and the troops transferred to Parsis can be transferred back to the north bank of Hormuz.
So, the choice now made by Kasili was to defend the northern shore of Hormuz in a tortoiseshell manner, and to start an almost frenzied attack on the Sassanids in the Parsis region.
Strategically, Kasly didn't do anything wrong, or it could be said that it was a better choice in the current situation. It's just that Kass Eli is doing this, and the Sassanid family at the end of Palsis can't stand it!
In a sense, the current Sassanid family has some similarities with the Liu Bei group in the Chibi period on this side of China. strength, a little, can also rely on this strength to make some movements, but it is a bit unrealistic to make any big movements, and you have to rely on external forces, which is why the Sassanid family will go to Lu Ren to be careful, but unfortunately they were beaten by Lu Ren.
The Sassanid family actually wanted to take advantage of the inextricable battle between Lu Ren and Anxi according to the previous plan, but Lu Ren did not give them such an opportunity, but forced the Sasanid family to raise troops in advance step by step, thus dividing half of the troops arranged by Anxi in the Strait of Hormuz.
Then in the current situation, the Sassanid family very, very much wants Lu Ren to launch a large-scale attack on the north bank immediately after taking the south bank, but where will Lu Ren do what the Sassanid family wishes? Therefore, the information that the Sassanid family has received is that Lu Ren's main army is undergoing a comprehensive rest, and at the same time, a small number of land troops have been sent to clear several fortresses that remain on the south bank with the cooperation of Arab forces, which clearly shows that they want to comprehensively consolidate their territory and gain a firm foothold, and it is unlikely that they will launch an attack on the north bank of Hormuz in a short time.
However, it is not true that there is no movement on the north shore at all, Lu Ren actually sent a small fleet to the north shore to carry out some tentative attacks. However, not to mention that this kind of tentative attack itself has no attack strength at all, and the defense system that Hassan Ke has painstakingly managed on the north shore is really not a joke, so Lu Ren's tentative attacks are basically in vain, not to mention that Lu Ren also wants to use these small-scale tentative attacks to tell the Sassanid family something...... Don't think about picking up cheap cats in the nest, I really can't beat here. In this case, if you Sassanid family don't want to be destroyed by Kass Eli, move Lao Tzu!
With these internal and external factors, the Sassanid family really wanted to hide and wait for the opportunity to pick up the bargain, so they had to bite the bullet and fight with Cass Eli's army, hoping that their actions here could give Lu Ren any effective support, so that Lu Ren's army could successfully break the defense of Hassan Keyin on the north shore. Only in this way will their Sassanid family have a way to live......
————————————————————
The current situation at the rest of the country is like that, and at this time, Lu Ren is walking in the Arabian wilderness...... Either really ran into the vast Arabian wilderness, or in the suburbs of Muscat.
Speaking of which, whether it was before or after the crossing, Lu Rendu set foot on this Arabian wilderness for the first time. At this time, people did not know the value of this Arabian wilderness, and basically thought that it was just a desolate and barren place, but Lu Ren knew that when the oil industry appeared, this Arabian wilderness would be one of the richest regions in the world. Of course, because of the frightening value of interests in this area, it has also become one of the more frequent wars in modern society in later generations.
In such an area, it would be a lie to say that Lu Ren didn't have any ideas, and Lu Ren and Shirley already had some things related to the oil industry at this time, but due to the limitations of the times, they were still only in an experimental stage. But once it is done, how much impact will the oil resources in this area have on Lu Ren's territory? If this thing led to the industrial revolution in China......
Watching the yellow sand in his hand slowly fall from his fingers, Lu Ren smiled self-deprecatingly, and said secretly: "Why do you think so much?" A lot of things are still very old! But if I can really bring the Chinese side into that track, will it lead to the plundering of external resources by our Chinese nation? If that's the case...... Hehe, it's hard to say. ”
Seeing that the counting horses were coming not far away, Lu Ren casually threw the remaining yellow sand in his hand, patted the dust a few times, and waited for the counting horses over there. Looking at the number of horsemen who came to the front, they dismounted one after another, but the first one was Ma Chao in Arab costume. By the way, don't think that Arab attire is purely ethnic, and that the kind of attire is more suitable for regions such as the wilderness and desert.
Lu Ren looked at Ma Chao, who was now dressed in Arab attire, with interest, and then smiled: "Meng Qi, don't come unharmed?" ”
Ma Chao hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, but this was an Arab costume, but it was a simple Han ceremony, which made Lu Ren feel awkward how he looked at it. Of course, this is all gossip, after each salute, Lu Ren introduced Ma Chao into the pavilion, and after a few more gossips about not much oil and salt, Lu Ren asked: "Meng Qi, you said that you have something to discuss with me, what is the matter?" ”
Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth cautiously: "Lu Nanhai, I would like to ask you when you are going to attack Anxi?" ”
Lu Ren said: "Rest on the north shore is well guarded, if I attack rashly, it will only add unnecessary casualties to the soldiers, and I have another plan to implement for rest, so the attack on the north bank of rest will not be so fast." How? Meng Qi, you can't wait? ”
Ma Chao knew that there was no need to be too polite to speak in front of Lu Ren, so he nodded and said, "I can't hide it, I'm really a little anxious, but I don't dare to criticize Lu Nanhai's arrangement." ”
Lu Ren glanced at Ma Chao a few times, but he was also secretly laughing in his heart. has been mixed for so many years, and Lu Renna has long become an old fritter, so he can see that Ma Chao came with something different. So after smiling, Lu Ren said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, if you have any requirements, just say it clearly, I will naturally agree to your reasonable request, it's not so reasonable, we can also discuss it well, and there will naturally be a solution after discussion." ”
Ma Chao hesitated again, and then glanced back at the attendants behind him. A few close attendants understood, and they all withdrew and went far away. Seeing that this was the case, Lu Ren also waved his hand to let Minchan and the others withdraw far away, so only Lu Ren and Ma Chao were left in this small pavilion.
Seeing Ma Chao take a deep breath, he said in a low voice: "Lu Nanhai, there are two things to discuss with you." ”
Lu Ren nodded: "Say it, I'll listen." ”
Ma Chao said: "First of all, the leaders of the Arab forces who are attached to them want to officially meet Lu Nanhai, so please ask Lu Nanhai what you mean." ”
Lu Ren nodded again. The matter of resting is not solved so quickly, and his army will stay here in the Arabian wilderness for a while, so it is inevitable to deal with these land snakes, so Lu Ren is also ready to find a time to meet with these ground snakes, and give some sweetness appropriately, otherwise these land snakes will make trouble here on the south coast, and Lu Ren will also spare his energy to deal with them. Now these ground snakes asked Ma Chao to pass on a message, which is in line with Lu Ren's heart.
After roughly inquiring about the situation of the ground snakes, Lu Ren asked Ma Chao to tell those ground snakes to come to Muscat in a few days, and Lu Ren would prepare a feast to entertain them.
After saying this, Ma Chao hesitated again. After Lu Ren asked several times, Ma Chao said to Lu Ren very carefully: "Lu Nanhai, there is actually a reluctant request below. ”
Lu Ren said: "What's the matter, you say!" ”
Ma Chao said: "That's the case...... Lu Nanhai, you gave me a very good piece of land before, and I am very grateful. But Lu Nanhai, you also know that the children under Xia and his command are all people from the Xiliang wilderness, and they are used to running horses and galloping in the wilderness, and although Nepal is good, there are many hills, so ......"
Lu Ren was dumbfounded, as soon as Ma Chao said this, Lu Ren knew that Ma Chao was not very satisfied with Nepal, and Lu Ren actually knew about it for a long time, but Lu Ren didn't expect Ma Chao to say it in person at this time. After thinking about it again, Lu Ren asked, "Meng Qi, what do you want to say?" ”
Ma Chao was also full of strength at this time, and said to Lu Ren very earnestly: "Lu Nanhai, what do you mean is that after you complete your conquest of Anxi, can you stay here in Arabia?" To tell you the truth, I really like this vast wilderness in Xia, because there are too many similarities between it and the Liangzhou wilderness that I grew up in Xia, and I am very accustomed to this wilderness. ”
Lu Ren's hand trembling as soon as he picked up the wine glass, and he also looked at Ma Chao in astonishment, because Lu Ren really couldn't imagine that Ma Chao would make such a request. As mentioned earlier, the Arabian wilderness is indeed a good place, but it will not be until after the oil industrial revolution, and the current Arabian wilderness is a desolate and barren place, right? But Ma Chao actually wants to stay here? Do you also say that this place is very similar to Liangzhou?
After thinking about it again, Lu Ren was also a little dumbfounded. When he was fighting against the Western Regions Coalition Army before, Lu Ren had been to Chang'an, and he could be regarded as leaning to the edge of the Yongliang land, so he had a little understanding of the topography of the Yongliang area. Now that people are on the edge of the Arabian wilderness, and then think about the landforms they have seen in Yongliang, they feel that there are really a lot of similarities, so Ma Chao will like this Arabian wilderness, and it can really be said.
As mentioned earlier, Lu Ren has some thoughts about the Arab region, and according to his own conditions, Lu Ren is more inclined to leave a pro-himself power group in the Arab region, so that he can not only get the trade and regional resources here, but also avoid some inconveniences and troubles caused by direct management, but which group to leave here, or which local power group to choose here for cooperation, Lu Ren has just been in Muscat, and this work has not yet been done. Now Ma Chao took the initiative to stay here and become a "branch" of Lu Ren, which is actually very much in line with Lu Ren's wishes.
However, after all, Lu Ren has been in the political circle for a long time, and he knows very well that some things can't be agreed to so easily, especially now that Ma Chao first said that the Arab forces wanted to see him, and then said that he wanted to stay in the Arab region, which actually meant something to Lu Ren, which made Lu Ren a little unhappy.
Again, what Lu Ren needs is a pro-himself, and a power group with his own nature of affiliation and dependence to stay in this area. With such a power group, it doesn't matter if you are the emperor of the soil here, as long as I, Lu Ren, know how to look at my Lu Ren's face and do things when I need you, but it doesn't mean that you can really do whatever you want. But the current Ma Chao seems to have such a meaning, which is not what Lu Ren wants to see......
