Chapter 519: Fighting in secret, fighting in secret [Subscribe]

"I will follow your majesty's orders and set up our Great Wei's new northern pass north of the North Sea, covering part of the mountainous area."

Several people sat down in the study, and Zhao Yun first reported on the situation of guarding the border for two years.

The North Sea is Lake Baikal, the largest and deepest freshwater lake in Eurasia.

"The North Sea is so magnificent, like a magic bow embedded in the land of the north." Zhao Yun said with emotion.

The North Sea is narrow at both ends, like a crescent moon, but if you look closely at its direction, it does look more like a divine bow.

"However, the winter in Beihai is very cold. We were not well prepared at first, so we sought mutual assistance from the locals, which is what Your Majesty said about 'pairing up' with the locals.

We used some local methods to keep warm, including animal skins, licorice, and firewood, to get through the first winter.

The small tribes provide us with help, and we protect them from the bullying of the larger tribes."

"The temperature there is very low for half a year. Fortunately, Your Majesty sent a large amount of supplies there the following year.

I used supplies to win over and divide some local tribes.”

"At the same time, we dispatched troops to conquer several large tribes that opposed our stationing of troops and relied on the North Sea for survival. The situation there has been initially stabilized."

On the one hand, he was gentle, on the other hand, he showed strong military force.

The combination of civil and military means is applicable in any situation.

Cao Cao commanded remotely from behind while Zhao Yun fought bravely on the front line.

"In the past two years, our army has built a small fortress at the northern end of Lake Baikal. We are following Kong Ming's advice to expand horizontally and build more fortresses along the mountain range.

They are implicitly connected to each other, forming a cooperative defense relationship. "

"The soldiers who followed me back for duty this time have been divided and sent westward according to your majesty's order. I guarantee that no one will notice."

Zhao Yun was very excited:

"Your Majesty asked me to bring the troops back and then split them up on the grassland and march westward. Is there any unusual movement from the foreign tribes in the west? I would like to fight!"

Cao Cao said: "You are guarding the border in the north, come back and rest for a few days. There is no need to rush.

You will be with me for a few days."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, do you want to move too?"

"Well, some people rank Kushan and us as the four great powers of the world. Kushan will be destroyed by us, so of course I have to go and see."

Several people started talking about other topics.

After a while, Zhao Yun went to rest.

Cao Cao gave him a few days off.

After Zhao Yun left, Cao Cao asked someone to call Jia Xu over, and together with Guo Jia, the three of them held a secret military meeting.

However, Jia Xu received news from spies that the Kushans and Zoroastrians would take some action.

The time is just these few days.

The moon rises from the top of the head.

Cao Cao returned to the inner house.

In the early morning, he came to the quiet room and sank his thoughts into the body of an eagle on the other side to check some things.

Kushan thousands of miles away.

After nightfall, the palace was still brightly lit.

Bo Diao put a white leather robe on his shoulders and walked around the huge study, feeling expectant yet anxious.

Tonight, the Kushans will carry out an action that has been brewing for a long time.

Its purpose was to stir up unrest in the Wei Dynasty and let the grassland tribes attack and resist the rule of the Wei Dynasty.

At the same time, the Kushans, Kangjus, and Zoroastrians all sent out their forces to cooperate and prepare to attack the Wei army in the northern part of Kushan.

If successful, it will resolve the imminent crisis of Kushan.

At that time, Cao Wei will definitely withdraw troops to stabilize the situation on the grassland.

The Kushans would have the opportunity to rebuild their defenses.

So tonight's arrangement is crucial.

The Zoroastrian deputy patriarch Gilbis and the little Buddha head are also there.

"Your Majesty, don't worry so much."

Gilbis was somewhat dissatisfied with the Kushan lord for summoning him in the middle of the night.

Bo Diao asked him to come because he wanted to use the means of Zoroastrianism to let him keep in touch with another deputy sect leader, Saxi, who was at the front line at any time so as to grasp the battle situation.

"There is a layer of separation between this king and your Zoroastrianism, which is inconvenient."

Bo Diao: "Among you, the Vice-Pope and His Holiness the Pope, the three of you can communicate through the Divine Scroll.

This king wants to know whether all the troops have gathered together. "

Gilbis: “I asked about this in the evening, and the deputy Patriarch of Saxi responded that all parties had been gathered.

Our Zoroastrianism is led by a god favored by the theocracy of war, who leads more than 70 theocracy knights to assist in the battle.

Although we are few in number, we are a powerful force favored by God."

"Kangju also sent a 10,000-man troop from nearby."

"And your majesty's Sixth Corps, with a total of more than 30,000 people, has joined forces at Mount Lator, which is located northeast of the Kushan Empire and borders the Wusun Empire."

“Including Kebineng, who is controlled by Vice-Chapter Saxi, the tribal troops will be mobilized from the grassland.

The total number of troops that can be mobilized for this battle will exceed 60,000.

We have been preparing for this for a long time, and we have a good chance of success. At least we can make it difficult for the Wei people to continue to raise troops and expand their internal strife."

Bo Diao hummed.

They have indeed made a lot of arrangements for the upcoming operation.

The Kushans drew out the reorganized Sixth Legion.

Kangju had hesitated before and did not dare to enter.

But at the critical moment of life and death, if they did not move, they would be completely swallowed up by the Wei Dynasty. This time they finally joined the war and stood completely with the Kushans.

Bo Diao suddenly asked Gilbis:
"Have you tried the Zoroastrianism before? What does the Parthian side say?"

Gilbis: "The Pope has personally met with the Parthian monarch, His Majesty Vologases. But no news has yet been received."

Vologases, whose full name is Vologases V, was the king of the Parthian Empire founded by the Parthians.

He is also a warmongerer.

Historically, during his reign, he repeatedly provoked Rome further west.

Parthia and Rome were two powerful nations that had been entangled in a stalemate with alternating victories and defeats.

Bo Diao: "I hope the Zoroastrians can understand that I am not begging you."

"But you have to think carefully. The Emperor of Wei is warlike and aggressive by nature. If the Kushan Empire is really defeated, what will happen when the borders of Wei and Parthia meet? By then, it will be too late for Parthia to regret."

Gilbis's expression grew slightly more serious.

The offensive of Cao Wei’s army was indeed frightening.

"The Pope and I both understand what you mean, but we still have to see how effective tonight's arrangement is to decide what to do next."

Bo Diao nodded slowly.

Several people glanced towards the northeast at the same time.

The direction they were looking at was the Kushan border, a thousand miles away.

Lator Mountain is a remnant of the Tianshan Mountains. If you follow its terrain northward, you will enter the Tianshan Gorge.

To the north is Wusun, to the northwest is Kangju, to the northeast is the grassland, and to the east across the Plateau is the Western Regions.

This is a sensitive location where many parties converge.

Zoroastrianism, Kushans and Kangju cooperated to use a path hidden in the mountains as a route for transporting troops.

They secretly approached the Tianshan Gorge.

"No one could use this road before. Unexpectedly, because of the outsiders from Wei, we have the opportunity to unite and use this road to hide our troops."

The Zoroastrian deputy stood on a high hill, overlooking the continuous military camps below.

Beside him are Afu Yu and Bu Liu Gu.

There was also a general who was about thirty years old, also wearing a dark red Zoroastrian robe.

Zoroastrianism has a small amount of armed forces, claiming to be the guards left by God on earth.

In the surrounding countries, there are legends that they have powers bestowed by gods and are invincible, and they specialize in dealing with those who anger the gods.

The thirty-year-old general in front of him is the leader of the Zoroastrianism's divine team.

He brought more than seventy people.

In addition, the elite troops of Kushan and Kangju were hidden in the valley below.

"The time is almost up."

At midnight, the team set out.

An hour later, they were getting closer to the Tianshan Canyon.

"According to the information provided by Ke Bi, the Emperor of Wei asked him to transport a large amount of meat and horse fodder from the grasslands. He has sent it to the border between the grasslands and the Western Regions twice recently.

Our people investigated and found that the Wei army had troops gathered in that area."

"If our information is correct, today or tomorrow, the Wei army will pass through the Tianshan Gorge and march westward to attack Kangju."

"If we ambush them here, we can inflict heavy damage on them!"

Sassi licked his lips.

He holds a high position and has not personally participated in a war for many years.

At this time, standing next to him was the commander of the Kushan Sixth Army, Kebir, a hairy, burly man in his thirties.

On the other side was Kangju general Kang Lemu.

Afu Yu is looking towards the east where the Wei army might appear:

"The information was provided by Kebi. Are you sure there is no problem?"

Saxi smiled and said, "You still doubt Kebi Neng?"

“Although he provided the information, it was the hiding place of the Wei army that we discovered based on the food and grass transportation routes.

This arrangement has nothing to do with Ke Bineng, he has no idea about it."

“And the Wei army in the Western Regions has indeed secretly gathered more than 20,000 elite troops, which shows that the information about the baggage transportation provided by Ke Bi is correct.

Even if the ambush failed this time, it cannot be blamed on Ke Bineng."

"Is it possible that the Wei army is setting an ambush to lure us into the game?" Afu Yu pondered.

Saxi and the others all laughed:

"We are currently on high ground. If they appear, they will pass through the valley below. How can they ambush us?"

Afu Yu frowned. This was also something he couldn't understand.

The troops they had gathered together took the initiative, and the advantages of terrain, numbers, etc. were all on their side.

This is also the reason why Saxi and others are full of confidence.

However, they lay in ambush until dawn and until the sun rose high in the sky, but they never waited for the Wei army.

We continued to ambush the next day, but still didn't wait.

Saxi sent people to investigate, and found that the Wei army that had previously gathered in the north of the Western Regions had changed its route and did not attack Kangju from the west through the Tianshan Gorge.

Instead, they retreated southward from the Western Regions and headed towards the Pamir Mountains.

Sashi, the commander of the Kushan Sixth Army and others were all shocked when they heard the news.

"The Wei people often use the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. They pretend to receive supplies in the north of the Western Regions, and then suddenly march south to attack our Kushan through the Pamir Mountains!"

"Could it be that our ambush has already been discovered by them?"

"No, if they were discovered, they would not reveal their goal of attacking Congling at this time."

"The Wei army is going to attack Kushan, not Kangju. Report this to His Majesty immediately."

The Sixth Army Commander: "Since the Wei army is not attacking Kangju, our Sixth Army must quickly return to support the Pamirs."

Saxi, Afuyu and others also reached the same conclusion.

Their carefully arranged coalition was forced to disband.

The 10,000-man army of Kangju prepared to retreat northwest back to Kangju.

The Kushan Sixth Army will head south to the Pamir Mountains to fight against the Wei army.

On that day, the teams returned to their respective places.

Afu Yu, who was marching with the Kushan troops, felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for the time being.

The Sixth Legion, including Saxi, Afuyu, Bu Liugu and others, headed towards the Pamir Mountains with all their might, and went south along the Lator Mountain where they had come before.

That morning, the entire army marched quickly, and the carriages and horses raised dust.

Along the way, Afu Yu was still thinking over and over again.

Suddenly, he raised his head from his horse and looked around. Something suddenly occurred to him and he said in a hurry:
"Pope Saxi, Commander of the Sixth Legion, I know what went wrong. We can't go any further."

“Stop moving forward.”
