Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

In fact, the two sides can't afford the delay. Needless to say, Cao Cao was self-sufficient before because of the grain output of Herat and Kandahar.

Compared with Guishuang only transporting grain from Kandahar to Herat at that time, Cao Cao could at least farm in Herat, and it was no problem to provide part of the grain output.

In addition, although the water conservancy construction in Kandahar has not yet been completed, it can provide considerable food and grass. Therefore, when no one is attacking Herat, Cao Cao can basically be self-sufficient, but if he is attacked, he will be completely self-sufficient. No output.

If the construction of water conservancy in Kandahar is completed, Cao Cao can transport grain from Kandahar to Herat like the original Guishuang. Even if the loss of grain transportation in the desert is very large, Cao Cao can still support it in a short time. However, Kandahar’s The construction of the water conservancy network has not yet been completed, so Cao Cao's going to the desert to transport grain and grass is basically a dream.

This is why before, when Cao Cao was barely self-sufficient in his grain and grass, Cao Cao asked Wei to buy some grain and grass from other places from time to time. It was not really insufficient, but more realistically used as a reserve.

However, in general, once Herat was attacked, Cao Cao’s food and grass would definitely have problems. Back then, when Guishuang’s food and grass logistics were so hard, after Cao Cao played a few games with Herat and Kapil, Kapil was all because of the food and grass. Transportation difficulties were forced to abandon Herat.

How could Cao Cao's logistics level now be comparable to that of Guishuang, who owns the Ganges Plain, so when Gumara pointed out this fact, Barak would inevitably be a little upset.

Because I have fought here, I know that this problem really exists, and even if reinforcements arrive in Herat, as long as Aldashir keeps dying here, it won’t take long for Barak and the others, who are suffering from food shortages, to think about it. Way back to Kandahar.

From a certain perspective, although the place of Herat has natural dangers of mountains and rivers, it is not so easy for Beigui to defend. This is why in official history, this place belongs to rest, because rest occupies her After lat, the transportation of grain and grass is much easier than the transportation of Guishuang here.

"This is very uncomfortable." Barak sighed. He also knew where the problem was now. After Herat was attacked, Kandahar would not be able to provide much assistance.

"Aldahir is also limited by food and grass, and after he chooses to shoot, the eyes of the Han army will fall on him. The Xiliang cavalry on Congling and Lu Xun in the eastern part of the Caspian Sea will stare at him, so he It's also impossible to waste it." Gumara shook her head soothingly.

"I'm thinking about how to deal with Aldahir." Barak's expression became serious.

Head-to-head is not realistic. Even Barak at the peak is unlikely to block Aldashir head-on, and if it is procrastinated, if Aldashir has better patience than them, the situation may be more troublesome, so on the whole , The situation is quite uncomfortable.

"Actually, my suggestion is to give up Herat." Gumara spoke slowly, and Barak was taken aback, that is, Gumara, replaced by someone else who dared to say so in front of Barak, Barak would definitely treat the other party as twenty-five. Zai, and Gumara and Barak have known each other for many years and know the bottom line. Only he can say this in front of Barak.

"Tell me the reason." Barak looked at Gumara calmly.

"Unable to hold, Aldahir must have Vesudeva I behind the attack. We all know the diplomatic method of that person. It's not that simple." Gumara directly pointed out the situation, and Barak heard what he said. nod.

This is true. With Barak’s understanding of Vesudeva I, at this point Aldashir made a move. It would be impossible to say that it would be impossible without Vesudeva I’s behind him.

"What do you think is the greatest possible support for Vesudeva I's support?" Gumara looked at Barak calmly, and Barak reacted instantly.

"It's the Oswen guy." Gumara sighed and gave the answer directly.

"Kapil is not a fool. The most effective way at this point in time is actually to build a dam on the upper reaches of the Helmand River." Gumara said with some sorrow, "Xun Wenruo is indeed a genius. The fortress was built upstream in a short time, and I am afraid I have seen Guishuang's possible combat methods, but the time is too short."

The Helmand River is a high mountain with snowmelt, and the river formed by the accumulation of rainfall, the water volume is not very large, and it can be regarded as a multi-source type. Xun Yu may also realize that the water flow of this river is not large, and they want to use this construction in Kandahar. Water network and water conservancy facilities are used, so take precautions early and build fortresses in the upper reaches of the water system to ensure that there is no water source from Kapilka as much as possible.

Of course, it is impossible for Beigui to completely block the water source of Kandahar. Even if Xun Yu did not take precautions, it is impossible for Beigui to completely cut off the Helmand River. It can only be said that the runoff will be reduced, leading to the planning of the Kandahar area. There is not enough water in the irrigation area.

Drinking water or something, of course, does not need to be considered, this is absolutely sufficient.

After Coca built the upper reaches of the river, there must be a problem with the downstream water. Afghanistan and Iran had big problems in the distribution of the Helmand River back then. The reason was not because Afghanistan built a **** in the upper reaches and blocked it. A large amount of river water has led to insufficient water resources in Iran for agricultural irrigation.

This is a hooliganism trick, and it is not fatal, but if it drags on for a long time, Cao Cao's food and logistics problems will definitely have bigger problems.

"Xun Wenruo and others may have realized this problem, but they certainly would not have thought of how Kapil would block the water source." Gumara said dumbfounded. There is no need to build a levee at all. You only need to change it at the source. After all, This river is the result of snow melting in the mountains. It is difficult to block large rivers, but it is not difficult to block dozens of small streams in the valley.

For Beigui, isn't this just taking some time? Blocking those dozens of valleys and creeks, the runoff of the Helmand River is estimated to be reduced by half. It is strange that Cao Jun is not confused by that time.

"So the real enemy is not Aldashir, but Osven." Gumara sighed and said, perhaps for others, Aldashir is more dangerous, but Gumara is very clear that both sides The interests are not uniform.

What Aldashir wanted was just a place to stay. For Gumara, it was just a matter of giving it to the other party. Even as long as they did not conflict with Aldashir, they can continue to talk later. After all, Aldashir is just a knife. , The knife holder can be Wei Su Dipo I, so why can't it be Cao Sikong?

Is it true that the alliance between Aldahir and Vesudeva I is very strong? What's a joke, hammer North Gui, let Aldashir leave alone, at most two months, Vesudeva I will have doubts, the interests of the two sides are only phased in agreement, not really the same.

So there is a lot of room for manipulation. For Gumara, it is a good choice for Gumara to let Aldashir take Herat, and they retreat to Kandahar with their troops, and concentrate on attacking Oswen. To be honest, as long as the Han room He didn't completely turn his face on Aldasil, there was an operation on this matter, as for the liquidation or something, it will not be too late to talk about it in the future.

"Are you worried that the rescue of the Han room will not come in a short time?" Barak's expression became more solemn. If this is the case, Gumara's suggestion is really worth thinking about.

Without the support of the Han room, it is basically meaningless to defend Herat. On the contrary, it will further increase the loss of food, resulting in an already unfavorable situation and even worse.

"Yes, I am worried that in the next three months, we will not be able to wait for the rescue of the Han Dynasty. The major families in Central Asia will definitely stop cooking, and Congling and the eastern part of the Caspian Sea are probably also collapsed. They will all need time to purge. ." Gumara said calmly.

Barak was silent for a while, and finally shook his head. Gumara’s suggestion was indeed good, but he could not accept it. Moreover, unlike the later dynasties, there was no precedent for abandoning the defense without fighting. But that's a human problem. If you just give up before you fight, it's really a mental problem.

"But once I fight with Aldahir, I have to give up Herat sooner or later." Gumara sighed and said, "Osven must be fighting for life now. After the sky has changed, the royal gun and shield of the Sahel Only a handful of soldiers are maintained at the level of the Imperial Guard, and some have even collapsed to the level of single talent. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Barak didn't understand what Gumara was talking about.

"It means that Osven's army has become much faster in rotation regardless of whether it is a supplement, and relatively stronger." Gumara said with a sigh.

"The imperial scepter pulls the double talent to the Guards, which is much easier than pulling the guards to the three talents, and now the empire scepter does not need to reserve a blessing space for itself. It itself is equivalent to A guard!" Gumara looked at Barak with a sorrowful expression, while Barak and Sahel were silent a lot.

"The change of heaven is a fatal blow to many forces, but it is not to our Dayue people who were born in the north." Barak also reacted. They implemented the Qin and Han military system, which is year after year. Although it was impossible to have dual talents in the military service of 1 year, after the achievement of single talents, it is impossible for the change of the sky to affect the elderly among them.

"So, Oswen's current military strength has reached its peak, but Cao Sikong has weakened. The best choice at this time is actually to unite the soldiers." Gumara said with a depressed expression, but even Barak convinced him. No way.
