How weak is a country that is loose and has constant internal struggles? Look at the Jin Dynasty, which had a large population and a large number of soldiers. However, the Five Husbands invaded China and almost wiped out the Han people. But when they were on the verge of despair, Ran Min stood up and raised his arms.

, the situation reversed in an instant. Look at the end of the Song Dynasty, the 800,000 forbidden troops were outrageously rich, and controlled most of the world's wealth, but they were slaughtered like pigs by the Jin, Liao, and Yuan Dynasties. Look at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was rich, and only

The emperor and the court were in dire straits, the treasury was in short supply, and every official was complaining about poverty to Chongzhen. As a result, King Chuang entered the city and copied out more than 70 million taels of silver.

Internal strife and decay are extremely terrifying things for a country. When many people discuss war, they often only consider national strength, population, number of troops, weapons and equipment, etc., as if this can determine the strength of the country's combat power. But

In fact, the Jurchens only had more than 10,000 cavalry, and Nurhachi's Eight Banners soldiers only had tens of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, their weapons and equipment were definitely far inferior to those of the Han people, but they were able to kill tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of Han troops and were defeated.

.The gap in national power is more than ten times? But the result...

As one of the five commanders of Kushan, Detby's commanding ability is far inferior to that of the other four. However, there is one thing that the other four are far inferior to, and that is his excellent overall view, whether on the battlefield, in the court or in the court.

The whole world.

He clearly knew that although Kushan was currently only experiencing fierce internal fighting and the military's combat strength was still there, if it continued like this, it still wouldn't be able to hold on for long. The independence of Khwarezm, Kangju and other countries was an omen.

The Vesudeva I in front of him was his last hope and choice, but when he heard Vesudeva I say such words, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.

No matter how incompetent Vesudeva I was, no matter how bad the situation was, he could accept it. With Susanga and his literary and military assistance, plus many people with lofty ideals in the country, Kushan was brought back to its heyday.

It was not impossible. But when he heard that Vesutiva I wanted to marry the princess of Dachu, his heart dropped.

The behavior of Vesudeva I has put the interests of himself as a king above that of the country. He trampled on the dignity of his country just to gain power. How is this behavior different from treason? Even if he had heard that he wanted to assassinate the country before,

Even General Socrates, who had great military achievements, was not so desperate.

"Your Majesty, in order to establish your prestige, you, as the majestic king of the Kushan Empire, marry the princess of the Chu clan. Is it really worth it?" Deterby asked with a pale face.

"It's worth it!" Vesudev I said with a sinister look on his face, "All this is for the empire! As long as I can control the situation, I can organize everything and bring the national power of Kushan to its peak again.

What does it mean to feel a little wronged now? In the future, I will send you to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to invade the Han Dynasty and force a real princess from the Han people. No, the eldest princess will come back!"

If you don't explode in silence, you will die in silence. After being a puppet for so long, Vesudeva I's desire to control power is simply unimaginable. He has mastered the power of the country and become the Han emperor who sticks to his word and follows the law.

It has become his obsession.

Let all religions and gods die! In Kushan, he is the only faith and living god!

...

Poisoned, Shivaladi immediately commanded the army to march north to attack the Kushan Royega border without stopping after the army was assembled, intending to break through the defense line before Kushan could react and catch the opponent by surprise.

But it is a pity that General Sogdi of Kushan was also a handsome man. After receiving the order from Vesudeva I, he quickly gathered 100,000 elite soldiers to go south, and gathered together with the border troops guarding Royega, a total of ten

Eighty thousand troops were stationed at the defense line, facing a stalemate with the poisonous army. The camps of the two armies were nearly three hundred miles apart, and nearly half a million people gathered here, creating a huge momentum.

"This battle of nearly half a million people was really not in vain." Located in the mountains about 200 miles away from the camps of both sides, Zhou Yu said with a smile while holding the information that the spies had just obtained.

"Both sides moved very quickly, which was a bit beyond my expectation. A country with this kind of system is really convenient for deploying troops." Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

"That is to say, taking advantage of the system, the army can be mobilized very quickly, but the marching speed is still much worse than ours." Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Guishang is okay, the quality of the nearly 200,000 troops is pretty good.

These soldiers are qualified but poisonous. If it were me, I would be able to deal with these 300,000 weak troops without even 50,000 elite troops."

"In the past, we didn't know much about these neighboring countries and looked down upon them. After so many years of investigating the intelligence, we thought we truly understood the combat capabilities of these countries, but now it seems that we overestimate them." Zhuge Liang

road.

Hearing is false and seeing is believing. According to various data, the national strength of the two countries is indeed not weak. With a population of nearly 10 million, the number of combatable soldiers is no less than 500,000. They have rich combat experience and seem to be very strong. But now

Zhuge Liang was a little disappointed when he saw the soldiers on both sides.

Although the two armies have not yet started fighting, a lot can be seen just from the camp formations, the size of the soldiers on both sides, and the army array.

"Their fighting method is too rigid. They have almost no strategy. They only know how to confront head-on." Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and said: "The camp they built is really unsightly. It is estimated that with just a few people like us, we can fight in a wave at night."

Any attack can cause them heavy losses."

"Guishang's weapons are quite good. Although they are not comparable to the standard equipment of our Da Chu, they have reached the level of the great Han Dynasty." Zhuge Liang said: "But we can't make a conclusion so easily. It can grow into an empire.

They definitely have some merits, let’s wait and see when they actually fight.”

"Guishuang won't say much for now, but there are so many shortcomings in body poisoning. I really don't know how this country has survived to this day. Guishang has not been able to eliminate body poisoning for so many years. I am really speechless." Zhou Yu endured

Can't stop saying.

"Shendu is indeed not enough. After all, Da Yueshi's background is too shallow, and now he has been almost tricked to death by religion. If we hadn't pushed the body poison, Guishang's limit would have been like this." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said.

Born in the Han Dynasty, he really couldn't understand why there was such a cancerous religion. It was simply killing the country and was more terrifying than the aristocratic family. Brahmins were indeed stable for the upper class's rule, and nobles were always

Nobles and poor people will always be poor people, but as a result, the entire country is basically ruined. It would be good to be able to protect itself. It is really not that difficult to expand.

"Why do I feel that these foreigners are all stupid? Can't they think straight? I guess any second-rate strategist in our country can become the country's think tank here. Especially with this poisonous body and this kind of terrain, it can turn the north into something like this."
