Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2302: Attack Yumen, Strategy to the West

"If Your Majesty dispatches another 30,000 troops to Dunhuang, then Your Majesty will only have 150,000 troops left!"

"Wei Qing and Meng Tian still have more than 230,000 troops in Liangzhou, excluding Yumen Pass and Dunhuang! In addition to the necessary garrisons in various places in eastern Liangzhou, the number of soldiers available for combat is definitely more than 210,000!"

"In this case, it will be very difficult to make a breakthrough in the Liangzhou battlefield." Murong Ke ordered calmly.

As for Yumen Pass, neither Murong Tian nor Murong Chui had much hope of opening a breakthrough from this direction.

In fact, there is some difference between Yumen Pass and Dunhuang City.

The city of Dunhuang is now truly under siege from all sides and is completely isolated and helpless.

However, although Yumen Pass could not receive support from Liangzhou, it could still choose to rely on Xizhou. However, this support was far less stable than that of Liangzhou.

After all, after passing Yumen Pass, there is a desert that stretches as far as the eye can see. After passing through that long and scary desert, maybe you can see the inhabitants of Xizhou next.

It would be strange if this kind of backing could be stable!

However, no matter how unstable it is, no matter whether it is Su Dingfang or Xun Yu, they will definitely find a way to contact Ju Yi even if they have to overcome many difficulties.

Mahamu's 25,000 soldiers were no match for Ju Yi's 3,000 vanguard soldiers. The other side now had 3,000 more cavalry, giving them more room to display their tactics. Even if he was given more soldiers, it would be difficult for him to break through Yumen Pass in a short time.

Therefore, they finally understood the meaning of Kublai Khan calling them together. It seemed that Temujin had given the order for them to open a gap in Xizhou.

Compared with the current situation in Liangzhou, Xizhou does have a greater chance of making a breakthrough.

"Su Dingfang is in charge of the command and Han Sizhong and Li Siye are guarding the city gates. It is even more difficult for our army to advance!"

Speaking of this, Murong Ke couldn't help but think of a time when they had broken through the city gate. The knights were happily waving their whips, ready to rush in, but they were blocked outside the city gate by the Modao Army led by Han Sizhong and Li Siye.

This wall of swords, blocking the narrow city gate, is even more frightening than the city wall itself.

"Huo Qubing is a man of natural talent. He is good at coordinating the affairs of the center. Although he is far inferior to Su Dingfang, he is as fast as the wind and has a deep understanding of this art. I am afraid that none of us are confident enough to defeat him!"

"Now, Su Dingfang has retreated to the eastern part of Xizhou. Although he has voluntarily given up a large amount of land, his military forces have also been concentrated!"

"If our army wants to win, we must not act too hastily, otherwise, we may reveal our flaws!" Murong Ke nodded slightly.

  Now, they have comprehensive advantages in all aspects, and Murong Ke is confident of winning this battle!

But, you must not rush.

He is also a representative of the war-seeking faction and a master at making plans before taking action. He knows very well that if he gets anxious, it is easy to expose flaws that would not otherwise be revealed.

Before, they were able to force Su Dingfang to give up the western part of Xizhou because Su Dingfang had to defend the entire Xizhou, and there were inevitably weak spots in some places. Murong Chui picked the weak spots and tried to go around Su Dingfang, so Su Dingfang had to retreat.

However, as the defended area becomes smaller, such weak points are no longer easy to find.

"We still have to find a way to start from Yumen Pass!"

"We must tell Mahamu to attack Yumen Pass at all costs. The greater the pressure at Yumen Pass, the more restless Su Dingfang will become!"

"The reinforcements from Xizhou are heading to Yumen Pass, and they have suffered huge losses in manpower and material resources along the way! This is the opportunity our army can take advantage of!" Kublai Khan said in a deep voice.

Although they did not expect Mahamu to open a gap from Yumen Pass, they also hoped that he could create enough pressure on Ju Yi of Yumen Pass. As long as they forced Su Dingfang to send reinforcements, with the loss of manpower and material resources in this process, the cards Su Dingfang could play would naturally be further reduced. Then, they could fight more easily next time.

In fact, the more skilled and evenly matched two people are, the more likely it is that if they face off against each other, there will not be so many exciting things and it will seem extremely monotonous.

After all, the two of them are both at a high enough level, and they are evenly matched, so it is difficult to find any flaws. If you can't find any flaws, then you can only be honest and do what you have to do!

Just like the attack and defense of Jiangxia, even Bai Qi and Wang Jian could only attack honestly for more than half a year.

"Alas, it's a pity that Su Dingfang, such a great general, is our enemy!"

"If we can capture him alive, we must find a way to use him for our own purposes!" As Kublai Khan said this, he suddenly changed the subject and sighed.

The brothers Murong Ke and Murong Chui, at this time, were looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. They didn't want to respond to the conversation, nor could they respond to the conversation.

Su Dingfang is of course a great general. If they could have such a person as their teammate, they would naturally be happy to do so.

However, it is so difficult to capture such a person alive. Moreover, it is even more difficult to persuade him to surrender after capturing him alive!

Given the foundation that Su Dingfang's clan had established during the Jin army's journey, how could they possibly agree to surrender? No matter how much benefit Kublai Khan offered, it would be useless. After all, he couldn't give the position of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to Su Dingfang!

Moreover, the two brothers did not hate the Han people, but among the many princes of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan relied too much on the Han people. Of course, in addition to the Han people, Kublai Khan also wooed those Western Regions people who had just joined the Yuan Dynasty.

Although, they did not deny that these Han people were very talented, such as Yue Wan and Feng Yi, who were both extremely intelligent. Another example was Yang Yan, who was brave and good at fighting, and they also admired him very much. Shi Tianze, who had made contributions to Temujin some time ago, was also recommended by Kublai Khan, and they also recognized his talent.

However, under Kublai Khan, the proportion of Han people and those from the Western Regions, these foreign ethnic groups, was even greater than that of the Mongols, which made the two brothers Murong Ke and Murong Chui a little worried.

Although they also knew that this was because Kublai Khan rose too late compared to his brothers, and there was not much room for him to intervene in Mongolia, so he embarked on this path and found another way.

But, understanding is understanding, and worry is worry.

Of course, they would not easily get involved in such things, and both of them were very clear about this.
