“I didn’t expect that the situation in Shendu’s country would turn out to be like this!”

After looking through the many information about body poisoning provided by Wan Xun Yue, Zhou Yu couldn't help but said.

The situation of physical poisoning is almost the same as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty at the end of the period. The court is in a state of decay, and all the domestic forces are at odds with each other and are ambitious. It is estimated that if there is only a "Yellow Turban Uprising", this country will be destroyed like the Eastern Han Dynasty.

.

"In fact, it's not just physical poison. According to the intelligence we collected, the four major empires in the world, except for us, the remaining three countries now have big problems. I don't know whether it is fate or a coincidence. All the four empires have

We are on the verge of overthrow. Our great Chu has recovered now, but the other three great empires may not be so lucky." Zhuge Liang said with a gleam in his eyes.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Yes! It is really a magical era. It is really a great honor for us to be able to exist in this era and follow in your Majesty's footsteps. Nowadays, this kind of opportunity is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I, the Great Chu, and Your Majesty

It is truly destiny. If we do not make good use of this situation, I am afraid that the empire will be delayed for hundreds of years."

After coming off the battlefield, during this period of time Zhou Yu could finally calm down again to summarize his experience and learn new knowledge. During this period, with Xun Yue's help, he made a good correction of the world's situation. He also deeply realized that

What are empires, the forms of war between empires, and the uniqueness of today's situation.

What does an empire mean? A vast land with unfathomable strategic depth; a population of tens of millions and an extremely abundant supply of soldiers; an independent and perfect cultural and political system that is difficult to erode and easy to change; a foundation of rule that has lasted for hundreds of years.

Solid public support and countless trump cards.

There are hundreds of kingdoms in the world today, but there are only four empires. Even a country as powerful as Shen Du is not qualified to be among them. This shows that the conditions for being called an empire are harsh and the empire's background is terrifying.

The situation between the empires cannot be controlled by one or two decisive battles. The decisive factor in the outcome of the battle has shifted from military strength to national strength. What is required is not only the bravery of the soldiers and the strength of the army, but also more

It is the gap between national powers.

Fighting a war for several years or decades is a fantasy in the eyes of a small country. Zhou Yu had never had such delusions before, but it was normal for the empire. The strong national power determined that they had the strength, and they could even do nothing.

In such a large-scale war supported by pressure, even if there is some defeat, the loss will only scratch the surface.

The more he learned, the more pride and ambition he felt in Zhou Yu's heart.

This is his ideal battlefield! The best stage!

It is impossible to fully display his commanding talents in small fights. Only on such a large battlefield can he fully display his heroic appearance as Zhou Meilang!

Zhou Yu had already begun to simulate in his mind a future battle in which he would lead the Kushan War, command hundreds of thousands of elite waterways, and attack cities and land.

"Kong Ming, you and I both know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Countries such as Shendu and Guishuang are currently at the bottom of their national power. It is easy to defeat such a big country and empire, but if you want to completely defeat and annex it, under normal circumstances

It will take more than a few decades. His Majesty has great talents and great plans, and has already set his sights on Shendu and Kushan. Taking advantage of the current situation, he will annex these two countries as soon as possible within a few years and create an unprecedentedly huge dynasty. This will

This is our mission!" Zhou Yu stared at Zhuge Liang and said solemnly.

Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm, couldn't stop the excitement in his eyes, and his hand shaking the feather fan paused slightly.

"Everything needs to be said after seeing the situation of this war. If you want to annex an empire, you have to face too many problems. And you have to swallow it with your body poison. Even after the world is unified, our great Chu

We must also be cautious about our strength.”

Zhuge Liang also knew what a good opportunity this was, but opportunities and risks go hand in hand. Although Da Chu seems to be stable and has strong national power, after all, it has only been a few years since the founding of the country, and there are still many hidden dangers. It is difficult to do this well.

It will die as early as the Qin Dynasty after unifying the six kingdoms. But how can we miss such a good opportunity?

"The sword has been unsheathed and the arrow has been cocked. To be honest, if the situation had not allowed it, I would have suggested that Your Majesty take An'an down as well. A group of perishing countries might as well be merged into our great Chu." Zhou Yu said calmly.

road.

The difference between him and Zhuge Liang lies in this, one is bold and the other is cautious, one is enterprising and the other is experienced in planning the country. It cannot be said that one is less powerful than the other, it is just that they are slightly different in personality.

"The territory of a country cannot be expanded simply by saying it. With the situation and population of Chu, our ability to expand such a large territory is already the limit. This is still based on your Majesty's continuous construction of roads and encouragement of births. Otherwise, we will continue to

I'm afraid I can't even eat Shendu. Even if we successfully annex Shendu and Kuishang, we'll probably have to stop here in the next hundred years." Zhuge Liang said.

"I understand that. Otherwise, how could His Majesty keep Cao Mengde and the others and prepare to support their development to the west? However, although it cannot swallow such a large territory, it does not mean that it cannot start a war. The two empires have hundreds of years of heritage.

It will still be of great help to us. It would be good to grab some people along the way." Zhou Yu's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

For Zhou Yu, what he fears the most is not having any opponents. In an empire as big as Rome and Parthia, there must not be many people who can survive two attacks. There are only a few domestic commanders who can defeat him.

Only Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Cao Ren, Wei Yan are still a little behind, and those with potential like Lu Xun are still little kids. Zhuge Liang Jushu, these counselors are all excellent in strategy, and they are really capable of commanding troops head-on. Zhou Yu is really not a general.

Keep it in mind.

Nowadays, Zhou Yu is basically in a lonely state as a master. If he can't find an opponent at home, he naturally wants to look abroad. It is sometimes sad that he can't use his dragon-slaying skills.

"Gong Jin, you look a bit like that old man Huangfu, but your pride is even greater than that. You are really formidable." Xun Yue on the side couldn't help but admire Zhou Yu's demeanor when he saw it.

.

The longer they got along, the more he felt the excellence of the young man in front of him. If he didn't have a master, he would really want to accept another apprentice.

"Thank you, sir. Sir, Shen Du should have assembled his troops by now and is ready to send out troops." Zhou Yu said humbly. He has his own pride, but he is not arrogant.

"Judging from the time, it should be almost the same. Nine times out of ten, its commander is the veteran Shifadi."

"Shi Fadi." Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He is a good general, but unfortunately he is too loyal and stubborn to be used by our Han people. Moreover, he is too old. Although his abilities are outstanding, he has no potential to be tapped." Zhuge Liang said: "But this man has always been calm in his military use.

, but there is no need to worry about any major problems caused by the poison this time."

"That's not necessarily the case. You also know about the situation of body poisoning. Sometimes the victory or defeat may not be determined on the battlefield, but may be outside the battlefield." Xun Yue said.
