Thank you for the reward from the False Silent Son!

Thanks to gz2f22 for the tip!

"Old Prime Minister, what do you think?"

The cautious Vesudeva I did not forget to ask the opinion of the fat minister.

Toulon pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, since you have given full power of the war to General Yue Kefeng, then how to fight Mao Ju is left to the general to decide!" ”

"Father, our army's morale is like a rainbow now, and we should go all out to attack the Western Regions!" Yueduo suggested.

Vesudeva I glanced at Toulon and saw that although he frowned slightly, he did not say anything against it, so he decided: "Since everyone thinks so, then order Yue Kefeng to attack the Western Regions with all his might!" Order the northern provinces to temporarily recruit all strong men into the army! ”

Yueduo and the ministers couldn't help but rejoice, and they all praised the wisdom of Vesudeva I, but Toulon had a faint feeling of bad things.

Yue Kefeng, who received the order from Vesudeva I, couldn't help frowning, and glanced at the tent, but the generals were eager to try, looking impatient.

"Maybe I'm overthinking!" Vesudeva I couldn't help but say to himself in his heart.

This is an ordinary small courtyard in the civilian area of the Kushan Royal Capital.

"Baihu, I just got the news that Emperor Guishan has issued an order for full mobilization, ordering all the northern provinces to recruit all strong men into the army!" It was a Han man who spoke, and sitting in front of him was Zhuo Yifan, the Minister of Intelligence in charge of collecting Guishan's intelligence, a legendary figure who had made great contributions to the Great Wei many times.

Zhuo Yifan frowned, and thought: "In this way, the Guishan Army will increase its strength by at least 600,000!" This must be passed on to General Shoucheng immediately! ”

"No!"

Green Ridge Fortress.

On this day, the imperial banner of the Great Wei Empire came to the Green Ridge Fortress, and Cao Cao, the emperor of the Great Wei Empire, finally arrived at his destination.

Ma Teng and a group of generals went out of the city to greet him.

When he came to the fortress, Cao Cao sat down on the main seat, and all the generals bowed in unison: "The last general will meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Generals don't have to be polite!" Cao Cao smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Shoucheng, what's the situation now?

Ma Teng came to the sand table placed on the side of the lobby, hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, please see." ”

Cao Cao stepped down from the main seat and came to the sand table, and all the generals also surrounded him.

Ma Teng planted an earth-colored banner on the front of the exit at the western end of the Green Ridge Mountain Range, "Your Majesty, the 400,000 Great Black Guys personally led by Yue Kefeng have set up camp here, and it seems that they want to attack the valley!" ”

Ma Teng planted an earth-colored flag on each of the north and south sides of this banner at a distance of about 50 miles, "These are the two wings of Yue Kefeng, each with more than 200,000 troops!" Its northern flank has the posture of attacking Kangju! ”

Then Ma Teng planted a black flag in the three positions of the Green Ridge Fortress, the Tianshan Fortress and the Kangju, "This is the situation of our army, the Green Ridge Fortress has gathered the second army of our army, the sixth army corps, the Western Regions Legion, the Xianbei Legion and the coalition of countries in the Western Regions, a total of more than 500,000 people, the Tianshan Fortress is stationed with 100,000 troops of the Wuhuan Legion, and there are 150,000 troops including the Xiongnu iron cavalry in the direction of Kangju, although the current strength of our army is less than the enemy army, but the overall combat strength is stronger than the other party!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, there will be something I don't understand!" Ma Teng hugged his fists.

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Is Shoucheng going to ask me why he ordered the army to be scattered from Parbang?" ”

Ma Teng nodded, very depressed, and the other generals all had the same expression.

Cao Cao explained: "According to the information sent back by Zhuo Yifan at that time, if we don't take the initiative to retreat, the Guishan people are afraid that they will retreat!" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't that bad?" Ma Teng asked puzzled.

Yes, if the Kushans had retreated at that time, the Wei army would have been able to gain a foothold in Parbang.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said, "What I want to do now is to destroy Guishan's living force as much as possible to achieve the goal of weakening its power, not to seek this little benefit in the near future!" Only by weakening the frost to a certain extent can we control it! ”

Ma Teng doesn't seem to understand this level of things.

Cao Cao patted Ma Teng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Shoucheng doesn't have to think about these issues, just let Zhicai think about these things!" ”

Xi Zhicai on the side smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to conquer Kushan in one fell swoop?" Ma asked puzzled.

Cao Cao smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just weakening, not conquering!" For our Silk Road, the country of Kushan is too strong: not to mention that for the time being, we can't start a war of annihilation against Kushan, we have to take our time, and besides, destroying its country is not necessarily good for us! ”

After a pause, Cao Cao said to Ma Chao with emotion: "Meng Qi, all I have heard during this time are the heroic deeds of your lone army sweeping through Guishuang!" ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but show a proud expression, and then his face darkened, "Your Majesty, although this battle has dealt a great blow to Guishan's logistics and people's morale, only less than 3,000 of the 10,000 Hun iron horsemen who attacked with me have returned!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the deeds of Huo Quai's expedition to the west, and said with emotion: "How can there be no price for making great contributions!" Meng Qi, you did a good job, and the soldiers of the Hun battalion also did a good job! The Great Wei Empire will never forget you and those warriors who stained the yellow sand with blood for the benefit and glory of the Great Wei Empire! ”

"Your Majesty!!" Ma Chao was extremely excited and saluted Cao Cao.

The other generals were also very excited.

Cao Cao helped the horse up and patted the horse on the shoulder.

Cao Cao asked Ma Teng: "Shoucheng, what else is the situation?" ”

Ma Teng calmed down his agitated emotions and replied, "Just this morning, information came from the Kushan side, and the Kushan Emperor Vesudeva I has ordered the northern provinces to be fully mobilized!" It is expected to be able to mobilize at least 600,000 new troops! ”

"Hehe, 600,000! That's a lot of numbers! But what can these people who lack even basic military training do? Could it be that we are afraid that our army will not have enough to eat? Cao Cao said with a smile.

All the generals couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

Cao Cao looked at the sand table and thought: "The enemy's deployment has been basically completed, and it is bound to become a tiger, and it is impossible for them to stop the war even if they want to!" We don't have to do anything now, just wait for the enemy to attack! Then ・・・・・・・"

Cao Cao smiled coldly.

"Meng Qi, you immediately rush back to Kangju and take all the Hun battalion iron horsemen here! Only from the north can the cavalry assault be fully utilized! ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and promised.

After the account was dispersed, Cao Cao left Ma Teng.

"Shoucheng, I haven't been to this Green Ridge Fortress for three years!" Cao Cao said with some emotion.

Ma Teng nodded, "It's been more than three years since the civil strife in Kangju back then!" ”

"Shoucheng, accompany me everywhere! I want to see what kind of changes have been made in the Green Ridge Fortress in the past three years! Cao Cao looked a little excited.

Half an hour later.

"I didn't expect the scale of Green Ridge City to be so grand!" Cao Cao stood on the east gate tower of the Green Ridge Fortress and looked at the Green Ridge City to the east.

Ma Teng said with a smile: "Over the years, there have been more and more caravans coming from the west to the east, and the scale of this Green Ridge City has become bigger and bigger!" Due to the limited scale of the previously planned city, the new buildings can only be built outside the city, and there is no empty space in the city! (To be continued.) )
