Chapter 42 The Road Ahead (Part 2)
"You are right. I don't want to go there with my grandfather. I have too much constraints around him. Our general likes to fight with him, but I don't like it. As soon as he rises, he will charge alone with others and ignore other people's arrangements at all. We often have to rely on him to change his tactics in a hurry. This is not a good idea." Unexpectedly, Tan Zhenqi was the first to object. He was unwilling to fight with Zhang Shun from the root. It was so interesting to do it himself, and it was not interesting to be with my grandfather.
"The next thing is to go to Liaodong, but we still don't have ships, and swimming is not that bad, so we didn't think about it. There is also the troops attacking Japan. If we go to Fuzhou now, it will probably take a month and a half or even longer. I'm worried that even if we arrive, we can only wait on the shore. There are still no ships and we still can't go to war."
"So can we open up another battlefield?" The regiment commander who had been listening to it was a little unable to control himself and couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
"This is not OK." Fang Guoyu immediately shook his head and denied this idea. "If we open a battlefield alone now, who will give us supplies? You all know our situation. If there is no logistics, we really have nothing to do. Besides, we only have 30,000 people, so we have to leave 10,000 people to continue defending. Where can such a few people start the battlefield?"
"Then there are only two options left. One is to go to Chengdu to fight Kublai Khan, the other is to Guangxi, go to Anbo and deal with the damn Dali General. So which one do you think is better?"
Fang Guoyu still did not give the answer immediately, but continued to analyze it, "On the surface, Chengdu is the place we should go the most. After all, there are 700,000 Tartars there, and Kublai Khan is there. If we go there, big things will definitely happen. But I think that there is not the place we should go. Not only shouldn't go, but we can't go at all."
"How could this happen? Why can't we be that place?" Tan Zhenqi was already smiling, but still asked questions unyieldingly.
Fang Guoyu also smiled, "Commander, you already know, why should I come and take the test again?" Tan Zhenqi didn't say anything but was still smiling, so Fang Guoyu had to continue saying, "First of all, the terrain in Chengdu is too difficult to walk. As the saying goes, the Shu Road is difficult to reach the sky. If we want to get there without a ship, it is absolutely impossible for us to get there without a year or two. After a year or two, we may not even have Tang. Secondly, there are Gao Xu and Zhou Feiyu there, and they are both celebrities around the prince. Besides the prince's words, who else have you heard of? We can only fight, that's not with us.
What we have to do is the same? So why do we still have to go there? Most of us are in danger now, and it is also a problem for how long he can stay there, so it is very likely that we will have a waste of time after we go there. There is another thing that must be said, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Shu people. They are all real soldiers. Don’t forget that they held on forty years in Diaoyu City, and they even killed Meng Ge. At that time, they had nothing, but now they are rich in supplies, so it is not a problem for how long they want to stay. How could they be afraid of these 700,000 troops?"
"So, we have to go to Guangxi?" Even the leader could figure it out.
"So what are the benefits and disadvantages of going to Guangxi?"
"There are many benefits. In fact, Anbo now has only 10,000 troops. He is dragging the army from Dali in guerrilla warfare. If we go there, we will definitely have a chance to show our strength. Even if Anbo can handle it himself, he will definitely not be so calm. So as long as we go over, he will definitely welcome us with both hands. As for the disadvantages, I really didn't think of it for a while. Maybe the only disadvantage is that it is a bit far away, but as long as we move forward at full speed, we can get there within about a month and a half, and Anbo will definitely not eliminate Saidiana."
"Okay! Since that's the case, let's choose this road." Tan Zhenqi finally showed a satisfied smile. He still liked the last road very much, but he still had some questions. "You think, can Saidian Chi fight? Can he hold on until we arrive?"
After he said this, Fang Guoyu and the regiment commander laughed together. They all knew Tan Zhenqi's idea. "I have really heard of some Saidianchi. He was from Ogedei and was appreciated by Kublai Khan, so he was appointed as the chief executive of Dali. He had been in Dali for several years. In the past, the Duan of Dali had a very high status in the hearts of the people of Dali, but when Saidianchi went, the local people soon forgot the Duan of Dali and provoked the five bodies of Saidianchi. He reset the counties there, built water conservancy and river management, and cleaned up the household registration to organize the people's farmland. Anyway, he did a lot of things. It seems that when he was in Dali, he had conflicts with Annan and Myanmar, but they were all cleverly resolved by him, and there was no war. I judged that this person was a government expert, but he was definitely not a general to fight, so our opponent this time should not be him."
"Oh? Who are we going to fight with after that?"
"It's hard to say. It is said that he has five sons. In addition to the eldest son Nasu Latin, who is almost a civil servant, the other three sons are very capable of fighting. The youngest son is not yet an adult, so we don't know. The second son Hasan, the third son Huxin, and the fourth son Tansu Dingwumori are all in the army. It's very likely that they will come out together this time. The uncle Duan Fu, the last emperor of Dali, is also very powerful. At the beginning, he led the fiercest Cuan Bai army in Dali to fight Xiangyang, but he did not fight with us. Instead, he returned to Dali soon. I don't know if he will come out together this time."
"We are all a group of unknown people, but it doesn't matter. Write a letter to Anbo and then write to the grandfather. We are going to Guangxi."
Yangzhou is still relatively close to Ezhou, so three days later the letter was already in Zhang Shun's hands. After seeing it, Zhang Shun immediately laughed, "This Tan Zhenqi still moved, but it's okay. We are all fighting desperately. It's not a big deal for him to be idle there."
