Chapter 2795: Articles of Association
Lu Bu was frustrated by Jia Xu to make up for the knowledge of world maps, so Jia Xu said he wanted a map. Lu Bu instantly generated a high-definition world map with part of the terrain, which was directly presented in the center of Weiyang Palace. Although many people have seen this thing about the world map, many people have not seen it.
Therefore, when it was released, many people who had never seen it only thought this was a map and did not think deeply. However, after Jia Xu explained, everyone who had never seen it was stunned, and even old enough to not need to salute the eldest princess. Zhao Qi, who pretended that he was not old enough, directly started to play it. His movements were so flexible that he did not look like a 90-year-old man at all.
"Sujing." Liu Tong knocked on several cases and said coldly. It was the first time she had seen this thing in the world map, but it did not prevent her from hearing it many times.
After all, Liu Tong is the regent princess. Although she has a generous personality, it does not mean that she has no majesty. On the contrary, after she spoke, except for Zhao Qi, who was still dancing happily, the others had already sat back, and Zhao Qi soon sat back.
"This area is our entire range." Jia Xu took out a pole and pointed at the coverage of the Han Dynasty on the map. "This is Chang'an, this is Jicheng, this is Chengdu, this is Moling, this is Jiuzhen, this is Jiaozhou, this is Dunhuang, this is Liangzhou."
Soon Jia Xu drew out the general scope of the Han Dynasty's rule.
A group of officials looked at Jia Xu's explanation in amazement, looking at the place that was not much bigger than his face, and then looked at other blank places. Suddenly, they felt that it was a bit embarrassing to have been the lord of the world, but they had been jumping in such a large pool for so long.
"The borders of these places constitute the territory of our Han Dynasty. Although there are still many places that have not been developed inside, these places generally belong to us and have ruled for no less than four hundred years, which can be said to have been since ancient times." Jia Xu pointed to these places calmly and said, all the officials nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was the reason.
"Then these places are countries outside our cognition. There is a country called Anxu here." Jia Xu pointed to the map and then many officials showed thoughts.
Although there are many wine bags in the Han Dynasty, there are basically no parallel products so now, I quickly remembered the contents of the Han Book and looked there with my eyes narrowed.
"But this country is almost out of reach." Jia Xu said calmly, "This country is almost killed by the Qin next to him. The main force of the Qin Dynasty is about 160,000 to 170,000. There are estimated to be ten dual-talent corps in the main battle. There are suspected to be five or six decisive troops in total, and the number of minions is huge."
As soon as these words were said, many officials recorded on the tablet fell directly to the ground. The Qin country knew not many officials, but they knew the forces and specifications of the opposite side.
"But Rome is quite far from us, so there is nothing to say. Our biggest opponent now is this." Jia Xu pointed at the location of South Asia and ancient India with the coaching stick, "This area is the territory of Kushan, which was the Great Yuezhi that roared the court at the time."
Because it was because of the map, it was not made into a spherical shape, and some places seemed particularly large and some places were very small. Therefore, the Kushan looked relatively small on the map. Although the officials were worried about staring at that place, they at least did not look as solemn as they were facing Rome.
"We have to send troops to Kushan, we can only go here and here." Jia Xu pointed to two roads and said. All the officials could understand the reason. There was nothing to say about going south of Central Asia, and there was nothing to say about going westward in southern Yizhou. After all, the Qinghai-Tibet side was not something that people walked away.
"This is the frontier base we built." Jia Xu pointed to the Pamir Mountains and said, "There are mines, water, and plains here. According to our calculations, it is fully developed and can support an army of around 100,000. However, this area of Kushan belongs to all high mountains and desert Gobi, which can be described as a natural barrier. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry once tried to fight, but after fighting, they were forced to retreat."
The whole audience was in a big uproar. Although many people present had been ravaged by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, they were still willing to admit that the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was the best cavalry in their Han Dynasty. As for the past, let them go there if they have passed. Now they are their own soldiers, of course they will not hold grudges.
As a result, you will tell us now that the most capable cavalry of Xiliang cannot beat the Kushan here.
"This is because of the terrain. On the plain, we can fight them at seven." Guo Si stood up with a bang and said very dissatisfied, "Now, we can fight ten at ten at one time."
The air was silent in an instant, and a large group of people recognized that this guy was Guo Si. There was no way, Guo Si spent too much time in Chang'an. There were many acquaintances, but his political awareness of being able to go to court was not low. He knew what to say and what not to say, so he could only be silent.
Liu Tong looked at Guo Si with half-squinted eyes. She also recognized this guy as Guo Si. However, the three fools of Xiliang withdrew from Chang'an and headed for the Western Regions. And seeing that the current situation has indeed established a front-line base, which means that this matter itself is planned, Liu Tong couldn't help but frown.
Liu Tong narrowed his eyes and stared at Guo Si's heart. He suddenly spoke, "Where is Wei Wei? Go out."
Guo Si was crossed out by Zhao Yue and others with a broken face. He didn't dare to speak. Even if he was stupid, he knew that he had a great desire to survive. If everyone saw through it, don't say it out loud, then you and I will say it out loud. Someone will definitely not step down today.
Seeing this, Jia Xu rolled his eyes, ignored Guo Si, but just went out, not killing him on the spot, and couldn't help but realize that Liu Tong was deeply aware of the righteousness.
"Just as that guy said before, the opponent's troops are very terrain, and we basically have no experience in fighting next to the desert." Jia Xu turned his head and continued to say calmly, as if the guy who had just been forked had nothing to do with him.
"We have it." Zhu Yan stood up and said, "Not for your generation, but for us, there are. The Battle of the Western Qiang is also a Battle of the Desert."
"The other party is mainly camel cavalry, but our infantry can fight in the desert. The problem is that there are no cavalry and they can't catch up, so they are too passive." Jia Xu glanced at Zhu Yan, and he pretended to be there, but his generation did not have it. It seems that you are twenty years older than me, and I am fifty now.
"There are also cavalrymen. Desert combat has extremely high requirements for patience. If you don't share the patience of camels, it will be difficult to fight for a long time." Zhu Jun frowned and said, "Generally speaking, the first talent required for the Camel Cavalry, a professional desert combat armament, should be sharing, and the second talent is the talent for combat."
"Can you make it happen?" Chen Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this and he immediately spoke.
"If there is a camel, it's okay. If there is no camel, don't dream." Zhu Jun said coldly. He was annoyed by Huangfu Song recently. The other party was doing everything that was called elite talent all day long. Zhu Jun wanted to say, can you be more realistic?
"Received." Chen Xi nodded and said, saying it was already happening, there would be no problem if it could be done. "Let's go back and we will transfer a batch of adult camels from the north. Although there are not many, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Then we will ask the general to train us."
"But." Zhu Jun said calmly, "If Chen Hou is interested, he will still care about Huangfu Yizhen. That guy looks hysterical."
After saying that, Zhu Jun sat back to his seat and stopped talking. That is, he dared to say something like Huangfu Song was hysterical in the court. Other normal people dared not say anything.
"Is Huangfu Yi really hysterical?" Chen Xi looked at Zhu Jun in confusion, repeated silently twice, and said to himself with a strange look on his face, wasn't it okay some time ago? Why did he suddenly become hysterical? But today's court meeting has not come, and it's not impossible to understand that he is hysterical.
By the way, Hua Tuo's medicine is so unreliable, but Huangfu Song didn't take the medicine at all. Chen Xi thought about it and thought it should be the latter's problem, and indeed it should be forced treatment.
"Ahem." Jia Xu coughed twice, pulling everyone's attention back again, "The biggest problem in Kushan country lies in these two places."
Jia Xu pointed to the Indian Ocean and the plains in southern Kushan. "First of all, the Kushan navy is how strong it is, it is hard for us to describe. In the current situation, we have fought several times but have not gained any advantage."
As soon as this was said, everyone whispered, the Han Dynasty had no feeling about navy, even if it was the concept of navy, it was not very common in the south, not to mention that for the Han Dynasty, what is the use of navy force? It can capture cities and territories?
"Silent." Jia Xu said with a dark face, then pointed to the location of Malacca. "You see, this is the only passage. If our navy wants to pass, we must go here, but this place has been blocked by the Qianfan Navy of Kushan."
"Everyone here should understand the advantages of transporting food and grass in water." Jia Xu saw that the court officials were still dissatisfied, so he continued to speak.
This time, everyone looked solemn, because Jia Xu drew a line to make everyone understand the difficulty of food transportation. Kushan blocked the place, which was basically equivalent to blocking the Han Dynasty's shipping logistics line, so the court fell into speechless silence.
"If this place was smooth, it would take two or three months to transport a large amount of food from Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Qingzhou. However, this place was blocked and could not go here. If you continue to go south and walk here, the wind and waves would be too big." Jia Xu sighed and said, "Kulshan is indeed very excellent in its grand strategy."
At the beginning, when Jia Xu and others did not focus on the concept of the world, they did not feel that after they relaxed their vision, they had to think that Kushan was a terrifying arrangement in their grand strategy. With their qualifications, of course, they could not casually think that Kushan blocked it was just a coincidence.
However, how to say it is actually a coincidence that Kushan was able to block Malacca. However, regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, this result made those wise men in the Central Plains think deeply.
After blocking this place, considering the winds and waves going south, the shipping was a bit unworthy of the loss.
There are so many wise men accumulated in the Han Dynasty. I quickly realized this kind of cheating situation. If the other party blocked it, their shipping logistics could basically be said to be over, and by land...
Everyone couldn't help but think about the Pamir Mountains on the land. Although there was a Pamir Mountain logistics base there, the mountains were high and steep, and the deserts were connected by one. I'm afraid that even if you had to do logistics, the pressure of transportation would be too great. I guess unless their camel riders were also created, they could only be used to attract attention and conduct feint attacks.
In this way, there is only one way. Go south to southern Jingzhou and southern Yizhou. However, after looking at the location, I thought about the Hengduan Mountains, all the officials were suffering from liver pain.
"It seems that you have already thought of the crux of the problem." Jia Xu said with a smile. The Hengduan Mountains in southern Yizhou are a sinkhole. The Han Dynasty has ruled for hundreds of years. There are counties and treasurys. A few troops have to pass by. If you open a warehouse on the spot, it is actually not a big problem.
The only problem is that if you want to fight Kushan, a few armies have little meaning, and if you have a large army, you can only adjust food. If you have broken terrain and adjusted food from other places, it will be very troublesome.
"So the solution now is a multi-pronged approach. The highway from Chang'an to Hanzhong, Hanzhong to Chengdu, as well as the viaduct from Chengdu to Central South, plus the local grain base in Central South, and a multi-pronged approach should be able to ensure the food and grass of about 100,000 troops, although it is easy to be attacked by the opponent's naval army." Jia Xu pointed to the place in the Bay of Bengal and sighed.
Everyone nodded indifferently and had to admit that what Jia Xu said made a lot of sense. If they were Kushan, they would definitely touch the Han army's food route there. The difficulty of transporting grain and grass was destined to limit the Han army's military strength.
Once you want to protect logistics and food, the troops ahead will be insufficient. If you do not protect logistics and food, you will not be able to fight this battle unless you have the ability of Sun Wu to attack the capital for thousands of miles. If you don’t have this ability, don’t be nonsense, there is definitely no way.
"Why don't you open up here?" Old Weiwei Zhang Jian asked with his eyes narrowed and pointed to the slender land between the Gulf of Thailand and the Burmese Sea. "According to the planning on this map, I think this place is only about 150 miles wide, just open a canal to connect to the east and west."
Zhang Jian's words stunned everyone, and then he couldn't help but look at the locations of the Myanmar Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. After a while, he looked at Zhang Jian in amazement. This guy is now in his eighties and is the same as Sima Yeon, who is the same as the old guy who can be used as a coffin.
"Gongyou, is this project difficult?" Jia Xu said slowly after a while. They had never thought that they could build a canal here directly, but Chen Xi was stunned and had never thought that there would be such an operation.
"It is estimated that the width of the narrowest place is no more than 150 miles, and it is not difficult to build a canal." Sun Gan swallowed and said, what an unscientific solution.
The canal built in the Han Dynasty is not the Grand Canal that has been built. The six auxiliary canals are so long in total. The length of 150 miles is really not a problem for these people!
"Please use this as a record, and then I will get a group of people to inspect it." Jia Xu said speechlessly. They have never thought about building canals, but if they build a canal at that location, it seems that it is easy to be attacked.
"Are you worried about being attacked?" Zhang Jian seemed to understand what these people were thinking in an instant, and his loose skin and smiling face were like an anus.
"Please speak with Mr. Zhang." Jia Xu bowed respectfully.
"They attack you by water, your cavalry will fight! The boat runs fast, and your six-legged cavalry are not slow either. They can't beat them in the water. They drive the boat to capture your place. You will not go south to capture their water camp. Destruction is easier than construction. If you don't work, burn it." Zhang Jian said, you are too young.
Chen Xi instantly understood Zhang Jian’s idea. It was definitely a battle for national strength. It depends on who has a fast construction speed and cannot win on the battlefield, but it is still okay to drag you to death.
At least there are professional infrastructure talents in the Han Dynasty, and the Kushan side. After doing this a few times, the local area can hold on, but Malacca will definitely not hold on.
"Thank you, Wei Wei, for your explanation." Jia Xu bowed respectfully.
"Nothing, this is all the experience of Duizi in the past. Chen Zichuan's capital, so don't use those that are not available. Duizi directly. Simplify complex problems. If you make a profit of ten to one, you will die. Sooner or later, you will not be able to hold on." Zhang Jian said coldly.
"Actually, if you have to say something, if you have a lot of capital, you can build dozens of shipyards into this area, and you can't defeat the shipwreck directly. I don't understand the navy, but I guess that shipbuilding also requires a certain period of construction. It is calm and calm, and both sides have no reserves. We cannot lose with the infantry alone." Zhang Jian pointed to the place in the Bay of Bengal and said, even more cruel than Chen Xi.
Chen Xi's original idea was to explode a sea of ships and block the Bay of Bengal. Zhang Jian directly planned to use it as a battlefield and as a tomb of a warship, and sank it until both sides had no time to build a ship. Anyway, the Han family did not rely on the navy to make a living. Your Kushan Navy is strong enough, and it depends on what you can't build a ship.
"We have considered this." Jia Xu coughed twice and said, feeling that these old guys are not a good deal of fuel when they are serious.
"Then I won't say it anymore. Anyway, when facing such an opponent, it's better to be a hooligan than to reason, and it's better to hurt people with your original intention." Zhang Jian moved his mouth, sat back with a crutch, and gave a summary before leaving. Speaking of which, this guy had done such things before.
"Mr. Zhang's ideas can be used as a reference. Let's continue to talk about Kushan." Jia Xu nodded to Zhang Jian who had closed his eyes and rested after sitting back, and then continued to explain.
