Chapter 1575

Gao Yang's eyes were deep as he patiently explained to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, it is now summer, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. If we wait to mobilize the army, prepare grain and supplies, transport them to the front line, and then launch a large-scale attack, firstly, our whereabouts will be completely exposed to the Xiongnu, and secondly, the later the weather gets, the more robust the Xiongnu's warhorses will be."

"In cavalry battles, whoever's horse runs faster occupies the initiative!"

"Blitzkrieg must not carry a large amount of supplies, otherwise the speed will not be fast at all. One only needs to ensure that upon entering the Xiongnu territory, one has a few days of military rations."

Wu Zhao was confused.

"Prime Minister Gao, if you don't carry a large amount of supplies and only pursue speed, how will the tens of thousands of troops be supplied?"

Shangguan Wan'er had some realization, and she tentatively said, "Prime Minister Gao, do you mean to rob?"

Gao Yang revealed a smile and exclaimed, "Lord Shangguan is right. It is one word—rob!"

"Your Majesty, when the Xiongnu invaded Da Qian, did they ever carry a large amount of supplies? When they entered Da Qian, it was just a word: rob!"

"Then by the same token, when our army enters the Xiongnu territory, we will use their own methods against them. Why is this not acceptable?"

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a smile, "The core of Blitzkrieg is one word: fast. The other word is: rob!"

"In the vast grasslands and endless deserts, if they are willing to give, then give; if they are unwilling to give, then rob! If they dare to resist, then kill!"

"In this world, the weak are the prey of the strong, and the fittest survive. This is the truest truth in this world!"

Hum!

Wu Zhao widened her eyes.

She didn't expect Gao Yang's Blitzkrieg to be so overbearing.

This is not just the essence of Blitzkrieg, but the overbearing way of governing a country!

Is this the way of the capitalist?

In her heart, let alone Confucianism, even Legalism, which has always been overbearing, is far less overbearing than a capitalist!

"Prime Minister Gao, the capitalist way you learned is quite overbearing." Wu Zhao's expression was complex as she sighed.

"Your Majesty, that is a fallacy. This theory was not realized by this subject from capitalism, but from the way of Confucianism."

"Confucianism?"

"You can realize such a truth from the way of Confucianism?"

Wu Zhao's mouth twitched, somewhat losing her composure.

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were filled with deep speechlessness.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan, what is this reaction? Among the common people, there are strong men who are eight feet tall with forearm muscles like coiled dragons who cultivate the way of Confucianism and often reason with people. It is quite reasonable for this subject to realize a bit of the Kingly Way and the Hegemonic Way from the way of Confucianism, right?"

"After all, everyone's physique is different..."

Wu Zhao had black lines on her head.

What a "everyone's physique is different."

Once these words were spoken, even though she, Wu Zhao, is the Emperor of Da Qian, she couldn't quite hold back.

"What Lord Gao said is very reasonable..." Wu Zhao didn't want to dwell on this topic, so she echoed it and asked Gao Yang curiously, "So Prime Minister Gao means to support the war with war, using the Xiongnu tribes as supplies for my Da Qian iron cavalry?"

Gao Yang nodded, "Not bad. As long as we enter the Hexi Corridor, it will be like a bird flying in the vast sky. We will sweep across all the way, and the Xiongnu tribes along the way will be our portable supply stations!"

"My elite army can have three horses and two blades, two bows and a hundred arrows. One horse carries the self-weight weapons, one horse is used for daily marching, and one horse is used for charging in battle. This can ensure marching for thousands of miles without tiring the horses."

"Along the way, the cattle and sheep in the Xiongnu tribes can be captured in small numbers as a 'living transport team'. Strong livestock will transport grain, and old and weak livestock will be slaughtered on the spot and made into meat jerky!"

"In this cycle, it not only ensures the marching speed and better unfolds large detours in the Xiongnu territory, but also solves the problem of the army's supplies."
