The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

In the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the northwest, whether they are traders or soldiers from the court, they all walk the mature official way.Otherwise, in case of wind and sand, it is easy to bury bones in the desert.

However, the people of Xihai already knew the terrain and climate of the desert. It is not impossible for a large group to march with enough food, grass and clear water, accompanied by an experienced guide, to bypass the official road and find a way.For the imperial army who often lived in the Middle Earth, it was not easy to bypass the official path.

However, both Daiyu and Situ Zhuo had experience in the army of later generations, and they knew the terrain, rivers, and climate of the Northwest well, which was much more detailed than the ancient map.

Of course, the vicissitudes of life, on the maps of later generations, many original rivers, lakes, and oases in the northwest region disappeared due to ecological deterioration. Now it is equivalent to the early Ming Dynasty. The ecological environment in the northwest is much better, and it is easier to find a way.

Daiyu and Situ Zhuo compared the maps and recalled later generations' textual research on paleogeography, and quickly determined several detour routes that the Xihai National Army might take, and sent people to explore the roads.

Order the spies to say that if such a passage is indeed found, there is no need to investigate deeply, and just report back immediately.

The unexpected surprise attack of Xihai Kingdom was defeated, and Master Ma and others were taken care of by Situ Zhuo. This time, many of the newly recruited soldiers were locals, familiar with the landscape and climate of the Northwest, and they were all grateful to Situ Zhuo, so they volunteered to go explore road.

Situ Zhuo provided guides, local recruits, and well-trained soldiers for each pathfinding team, and ordered them to set off with enough dry food and water.

When the pioneers were sent out to explore the way, the army moved slowly.

Because there was nothing very important, and there was still a lot of free time during the march, Daiyu and Situ Zhuo recalled the human geography, customs and climate of the northwest frontier based on their own memories, and then silently sorted them out. book.

Daiyu said to Situ Zhuo: "In the future, the West Sea will be the prince's fief. There used to be many oases with lush water and grass. Because the ancients cut down forests and blocked rivers, they were slowly swallowed up by yellow sand. Later, the country spent a lot of money. Human and material resources are used to return farmland to grassland and plant trees to restore the ecology.

Later generations have mechanical farming, drip irrigation, and many places have roads for convenient transportation. Large-scale machinery and advanced building materials are very convenient for water conservancy construction. The distribution of ecological water can be precisely controlled by computers.With so many favorable conditions, ecological recovery has been slow.

When we govern the Western Regions in the future, it is better to take ecological protection into consideration.Even if this world is a book world, the people of Liming are living people.As long as a set of ecological management methods is left behind, it will benefit future generations. "

After hearing this, Situ Zhuo's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again: "Yu'er, I have thought about this too. But I am a soldier, and a soldier takes protecting his family and the country as his duty in wartime, and he should do whatever he needs in peacetime." Go. If I can’t travel back to the modern society, I’d like to stay in Xihaiyanzi to govern the place for the rest of my life. But you are different. You have been wronged by marching thousands of miles like me. After this battle is over, you shouldn’t live such a miserable life Life. Today's Northwest is different from later generations, and the conditions are tough after all."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Aren't I also a soldier?"

Situ Zhuo shook his head: "No, the soldier is Lin Sheng, not Lin Daiyu. Yu'er, you shouldn't be working so hard."

Daiyu knew what Situ Zhuo meant, but she shook her head firmly, "My lord, I prefer to be a soldier."

Situ Zhuo only felt a shock in his heart and didn't say anything more.

Three days later, the spies who went to explore the road came back, and three of them reported that going further down was going deep into the desert, and they should not take risks.Two of them reported that it was indeed possible to find a new route.

After listening to the detailed military situation, Situ Zhuo and Daiyu exchanged glances after dismissing the explorers.

Huaguo's army can be called the best in the world, and its movement interspersed tactics are even more unique in the world.

The imperial army rushed thousands of miles to aid the northern border, and the journey was tiring, and the Xihai National Army had the best time and place to be harmonious with the people. The more this happened, the easier it was for the Xihai people to be negligent.

Besides, in the great winter, with thousands of miles of yellow sand, who would have thought that the imperial army would be able to outflank the back of Xihai Kingdom in such a harsh environment?

The reason why the Xihai Kingdom dared to declare war on the imperial army was that apart from the fact that many of the imperial court’s products were diverted to sea trade, the Xihai Kingdom had no choice but to cut off their livelihoods. It was also because the West Sea Kingdom bordered the Daling Dynasty to the east and the high mountains and deserts to the west. It takes a long time to go to Persia, and there is no threat in the rear, so we can focus on the line of defense bordering the imperial court.

Under such a background, as long as they bypass the important defensive town of Xihai State, the two outflanking light cavalry can go straight to the border of Xihai State, which must be like breaking a bamboo.

Now two new routes have been explored, two groups of light cavalry should be divided into raids, and another large army will meet the enemy head-on and join the old troops of the former Nan'an King to contain the main force of the Xihai National Army.

Situ Zhuo is a vassal king and needs to stay in the main camp to stabilize the morale of the army.Daiyu wanted to lead a group of cavalry to raid the rear of Xihai Kingdom.

At first, Situ Zhuo refused.Although from a strategic or tactical point of view, it is a foolproof strategy to attack the main force of the Xihai National Army head-on, and two cavalry detours to flank the enemy's rear.But Daiyu has never set foot in the Western Regions, no matter in her previous life or in her current life. Even if she knows a lot about the geographical and climate theory of the Western Regions, marching and fighting in the Western Regions in winter is still very risky.

But Daiyu persisted.

From the perspective of the entire army, although Daiyu is young, she can be said to have saved the army once, and her prestige in the army is extremely high.From the perspective of knowledge reserves, Daiyu also learned geography and historical knowledge, a complete set of military theories, and carefully read detailed satellite maps.There is no one more suitable than Daiyu when it comes to leading troops in a surprise attack.

The two argued for a long time, but Daiyu finally persuaded Situ Zhuo, and the two reached a consensus that the overall situation was the most important thing.But Situ Zhuo insisted on letting Liu Xing and his son go with Daiyu, and Daiyu knew what Situ Zhuo was worried about, so she didn't insist on these details.

Situ Zhuo is the new vassal king, so he naturally wants to lead the main force to follow the official path.This is also to contain the main force of the Xihai National Army and prevent the Xihai National Army from becoming suspicious.

The other two groups of raiders finally settled on Daiyu, the leader on the left, and Zhou Anzhi, the leader on the right.

In the grain robbery battle, Zhou Anzhi misdirected and caused certain losses.Although the loss was not too great due to the timely rescue of the prince and princess, and Situ Zhuo was magnanimous and did not deal with him.But Zhou Anzhi also tried his best to prove himself.

Zhou Anzhi was overjoyed when he got the order flag to command the cavalry on the right, but at the same time, he was determined to live up to the prince's entrustment, wishing he could issue a military order.

The geographical conditions in the Northwest are special, and there are deserts that have not been visited, and it is possible to encounter any situation.Situ Zhuo did not ask Zhou Anzhi to issue a military order, but before leaving, the husband and wife talked with Zhou Anzhi for a long time, and handed Zhou Anzhi a map.

The Kanyu map was drawn by Daiyu and Situ Zhuo after careful consideration.In addition to the official road that must be passed to go to Xihai Kingdom, the other two cavalry detours are also marked with dotted lines.On the map, the rivers and lakes that the two remember still exist in later generations are marked, and these places are used as places for water supply.

In addition, there are some remains of ancient cities discovered by archeology later. Although these places were later buried by yellow sand, they may still be oases now.These suspected supply points are framed with dotted lines and explained separately.

Zhou Anzhi looked at this map and was overjoyed. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if the prince and concubine really came down to earth from gods?Otherwise, how could the two of them have such a detailed map of the Western Regions when they were young and had lived in the capital for a long time?

Because Situ Zhuo didn't punish Zhou Anzhi for his misconduct last time, and magnanimously gave him the opportunity to make meritorious service, Zhou Anzhi took the picture and didn't say a single word that shouldn't be said, except for reassuring that he would go all out.

Military officers may not be as flamboyant as some civil servants, but they can be the leader of one party, and their political IQ is also passed.Because of the name of Shenying's waiter, Zhou Anzhi also knows what the prince's situation is in the capital.

Ask Zhou Anzhi to say that the prince and concubine are excellent in everything except their outstanding abilities.They stayed in the capital, and those phoenix sons and grandsons feared them, but it is a good thing for border guards to meet the Ming Lord.

"With this map, and a guide to lead the way, I will definitely live up to the trust of the prince." Zhou Anzhi knelt down on one knee and took the map.

Situ Zhuo helped Zhou Anzhi get up and said, "The desert is no different than the Central Plains, and the area between these supply points is also full of dangers. General Zhou should choose a few more trustworthy guides before setting off, and be careful on the way."

Zhou Anzhi took the order and went.
