Chapter 2080
: After this battle, I will live out my days in peace!
...
Facing Rahul's gaze, Rahman hesitated for a moment, no longer having the confidence and pride he had before. Instead, he quietly found a seat and sat down, sighed softly, and then continued to look at Rahul.
"How long has it been? How did you become like this?" Rahul looked at Rahman curiously. The war hasn't even started yet, but it has become like this. It is really curious.
Although Rahman's previous behavior was indeed unpleasant, to some extent, there was really nothing wrong with it.
With a large number of soldiers and generals, and multiple routes advancing simultaneously, the force of attack on each route has the power to destroy the enemy openly.
In other words, the four routes combined are enough to defeat four times the Han army. If they are only facing tens of thousands of Han troops, let alone winning, even fighting a beautiful annihilation battle is not impossible, but very likely!
From the perspective of strategic composition, the troops on each route have their own goals, which are very clear and feasible, including head-on attack, flanking attack, cutting off the enemy's retreat, and outflanking the enemy.
In addition, the commander of each route is either a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, or a person of high moral character and prestige.
Putting aside the Brahmin's orders, there was basically no problem in commanding the troops under their command, except for Brah.
Although Brahe's route looks dangerous, it is actually very safe.
Advancing step by step, relying on the huge troops and sufficient logistical support in hand, as long as they fight a war of attrition and delay the enemy on the front line, it can be said that victory is already decided.
This is also the reason why Rahul, knowing that the probability of winning the game ahead is very high, was a little dissatisfied with Rahman coming to see him under such circumstances.
If the probability of losing in the front is very high and they still come to see me, then there will be no such thing as friendship. Military law has never been easy.
In any case, Rahul himself is a person who believes in strict military discipline, and only strict military law can forge a disciplined army.
Only a disciplined and obedient force can better implement his command orders. Only in this way can his strength be better demonstrated and stronger combat effectiveness be exerted.
But that was all in the past. Now, he is just a middle-aged man under house arrest.
Rahman, compared with Rahul at this time, is completely from a different generation. Compared to the era when Rahul made his name, Rahman has been famous for a longer time and for a longer time.
In the eyes of others, the legendary deeds created by Rahman are more legendary and well-known than those of Rahul.
But Rahman knew very well that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was younger than himself, was much stronger than this old man.
The strength of both sides has never been at the same level from the beginning. If it weren't for the internal strategy of the Brahmins that led to a vacuum period of many years, the gap between them now would probably be more than just a gap.
It is precisely because of this that Rahman, who apparently possesses real power in the army, is older, has more experience, and has a higher official status, has no complaints about Rahul's behavior. Instead, he watches it all with great appreciation.
"As people grow old, they will eventually succumb to the power of time. If nothing unexpected happens, this expedition may be the last one in my life..." Rahman looked up at the sky and said with emotion.
Rahman no longer belongs to the current era. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, he is still a legend. However, the decline in physical fitness and the degree of aging brought by time make Rahman realize that time is draining his energy.
Although I really want to continue to fight for the Brahmin class and ensure the glory of the Brahmins, no matter how great the ideal is, it must succumb to reality.
The reality is that he has no way to continue to shoulder the responsibility of the Brahmins in the future.
However, the existence of the North means that the Brahmins in the South must and must have their own armed forces.
Moreover, this part of the force must be sufficient to counter the North. Even if they cannot defeat the North, they must have the confidence and strength to make the other party sit at the negotiating table. Only in this way can they continue to deal with it.
Among the next generation, Rahul, a middle-aged man, is unsurprisingly the most powerful commander.
Rahul, a Brahmin who is far superior to himself, more talented, more resolute in mentality, and also a Brahmin among the Brahmin class.
If it weren't for Rahul's own positional issues and the promotion channels open to the lower levels, which would have prevented such an unforgivable thing from happening, he would definitely be the most qualified and most suitable next generation Brahmin military successor.
If Rahul really wants to achieve such a status, combined with hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops, he will definitely have the power to challenge the North and have a good chance of winning.
In this regard, Rahman is more confident than Rahul.
Hearing these words, Rahul, who also possessed the relevant secret skills, naturally knew that Rahman was not joking or lying, and everything he said was so sincere.
But precisely because of this, Rahul remained silent, which was rare after hearing such words, and expressed his refusal with silent words.
If he surrendered to the other Brahmins at this time, he would indeed be able to get back everything he had lost, or even get more, but what could he do?
After he surrendered, how did he realize his inner thoughts and fulfill his dreams?
Seeing this situation, Rahman sighed again, then nodded, and without saying anything more, he left Rahul's house and prepared to take his army to the battlefield.
He clearly wanted to use this opportunity to put some pressure and favor on Rahul, thus forcing the other party to make a choice that would be beneficial to him, but he failed in the end.
According to the normal war sequence, he should not appear on the battlefield at all.
The older generation encroaching on the experience of the younger generation will only make it more difficult for the younger generation to get opportunities to grow.
He has no future, but these young people still have a broader path and room for improvement in the future. What a pity.
"Forget it, after this war, I will find a quiet place to spend my remaining years in peace..." Rahman sighed again, thinking back to his unfinished mission.
As people age, they tend to lament about past glories and become obsessed with them... (End of this chapter)
