Chapter 881 Rome’s little move

Soon after, a popular meeting was held in Rome that had not been held for many years. Although Nigel and others were very reluctant, they had nothing to do as the general trend was the trend.

The image of Ganassis has been extracted and played by the guardians of Rome, and everyone is clearly aware of the approaching danger.

People who can reach the position of senator may be greedy or foolish, but they are definitely not stupid.

A fool who doesn't even have a sense of crisis can't achieve the position of a senator. Even a simple militant faction can detect the crisis from Ganassis's memories.

Yes, Rome can still care less now.

The Roman Empire only lost one emperor, and the civil strife had not yet completely begun. The so-called disturbances still remained in political games, and the power of Rome had not yet exhausted.

They still have the ability to intimidate everyone, but that's now.

Parthia and Great Britain are developing rapidly, and there may be no threat to them in a few short years, but what about a few years later.

At the national level, three to five years is just a blink of an eye. Will they have to face their opponents in chaos after three to five years?

No, absolutely, they are the beacon of Western civilization, and they should lead the development of the West.

Relying on his tough military style, Severus quickly established his authority, at least on the surface, and all the Roman nobles declared their submission.

As an emperor on horseback, Severus had the common problem of all generals, but this common problem was a good thing for an empire that was about to be divided. At least the empire had a direction.

The first thing Severus did was to send troops eastward.

Ganassis, who fell to Severus for the first time, quickly entered Severus' circle. Severus also successfully distributed several legions according to the distribution of forces and sent reinforcements to Ganassis.

Ganassis led the second, fourth, sixth, twelfth, four eagle flags and a large number of elite foreign troops such as Teutonic ax throwers, returning towards the jurisdiction of Mesopotamia.

Counting the seventh, ninth, thirteenth, and three Eagle Banner Legions under Ganassis himself, Ganassis now controls almost a quarter of Rome's top legions.

However, there is only one Imperial Guard, and the others are all dual-talented legions. As for the huge barbarian legion, there is no need to go into details.

Even though the combined power of these barbarian legions could even overwhelm the Eagle Banner Legion, they are still not worth mentioning because they simply cannot combine them.

The civilization of Rome divided the barbarians themselves. In addition, the barbarians also came from various tribes and the ancestors' civilization itself was not monolithic. Roman citizens did not regard the barbarians as human beings, and the barbarians who became citizens also did not regard the barbarians as human beings.

They even persecuted the barbarians more vigorously than Roman citizens. After all, as long as all the people who existed like him in the past died, it would be equivalent to cutting off the past and becoming a true Roman citizen.

Rome knew that Parthia was renamed the Parthian Empire, but they did not care at all. Based on the experience of hundreds of years of violent attacks on Parthia, they had habitually ignored the power of Parthia.

I think back then, when Ganassis led some barbarian legions and almost broke into Ctesiphon, Rome didn't take Parthia seriously at all.

The reason for sending heavy troops was mainly to prevent the support from the Han Empire, just like the original Huns mercenaries, but they disgusted them to death.

Every inch of land they conquered was peaceful and had nothing to do with the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu didn't care what they conquered the city or territory.

The Huns only sent troops to attack their lone or weak legions, causing countless casualties. Even if they died, they were all barbarians, but this attack pattern of coming and going like the wind and plundering made them sick.

.

Moreover, the Xiongnu were shameless. The Xiongnu army spirit and the Imperial Guard specifically targeted the weak single-talented army. This was not shameless, what else could it be.

And such Xiongnu were destroyed by the Han Dynasty, which means that the Han Dynasty was stronger than the Xiongnu, so they sent nearly a quarter of the high-end forces of the Roman Empire to the east of Rome.

As for the remaining legions, except for a few legions stationed in the garrison, all the rest went north.

Now that we have discovered the signs, we must eliminate them. Great Britain is the real enemy of Rome. It is a battlefield where barbarians cannot be used as the main force. That is the battlefield that Rome really deserves to be wary of.

As for Anxi's side, the worst they can do is use barbarians to hold them back and fight a war of attrition.

Rest in peace is pure rubbish, this is the consensus of Rome, even Ganassis thinks so.

There is no way, any country that you can attack the capital with a small army will hardly make you have the slightest respect.

But no one in Rome knew that Parthia was really no longer Parthia, but the Parthian Empire, the Parthia that had been at war with Rome for hundreds of years.

After experiencing fierce battles with the Kushans and the Han Dynasty, and after inheriting a large number of military and technological heritage from the Northern Huns, Volgis V forcibly integrated the Anxi nobles as quickly as possible, allowing Anxi to escape from the pit of treason.

Struggled out.

Even relying on crazy transactions with the Han Dynasty, some of its vitality had been restored in just a few years.

The biggest reason why Rome was able to fight according to Parthia was that the Parthian aristocrats continued to betray the country. The second reason was that all domestic power was used for war, and it fell into a vicious cycle of being unable to update and research new arms.

After hundreds of years of fighting, Rome has learned all the things they have learned from them, and as a result, they are still doing the same thing.

Even the Roman barbarian system is the same as theirs, but they still haven't changed. It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't. It was already difficult for the former Parthian royal family to just block Roman attacks, let alone study new things.

.

They can only hold on to what they are most familiar with and continue to squeeze the last value from it. If there are no accidents, they will not change much until Parthia is destroyed by Rome.

However, the legacy of the Northern Huns perfectly allowed Anxi to achieve overtaking in corners.

The Huns' technology tree is based on nomadism, and Parthia perfectly fits this point. The same foundation and different paths, after merging with each other, even produce the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

This is only part of the heritage of the Northern Huns, the other part is the talents of the Northern Huns.

The Mongolian noble faction headed by Temujin has successfully integrated into Parthia and became one of the eight great nobles in Parthia. As for the missing noble, everyone has tacitly ignored his existence.

Attila, when he was dying, used the will of the Hun Empire to inflict not only wounds on the will of the Han Empire, but also stole part of the will of the Han Empire.

The imperial will of the Han Dynasty can be roughly called the collection of Chinese consciousness in this world. The time and space cycle disrupted by Emperor Zhuanxu abruptly broke the vertical timeline into a horizontal one.

This is also the reason why later generations of generals appeared in the Han Dynasty. At first, they used the shell of the game to fool the ghosts, but when Zhuan Xu woke up and found Chi You's back-up man in Guo Hao, he didn't even bother to pretend, and started directly

Perfunctory.

This is also the reason why a series of people like Yue Fei keep reappearing.

And Attila, from the collective consciousness of China, took away the part closest to the Huns.

This is also a series of Yuan dynasties such as Temujin, Jamuka, Zhebie, Haidu, Torre, Hulagu, Ulianghetai, Batu, Kublai Khan, Jochi, Subotai, Wang Baobao...etc.

The reason for the appearance of a well-known general.

This is the part torn from the Chinese consciousness, which makes these military officers of the Yuan Dynasty appear as nomads in common among these young descendants of the Northern Huns.

In the process of Parthia's frantic suppression of internal rebellions, other celebrities emerged from the original descendants of the Northern Huns.

Shi Hu, Shi Le, Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Helian Bobo in the Eastern Jin Dynasty...

Li Yuanhao of Xixia, wild fortune meets beggar, wild fortune is prosperous...

Wanyan Gang, Wanyan Tower, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom...

Nurhaci, Dorgon, Duduo, Obai, Azig in the Qing Dynasty...

It can be said that the quality of these descendants of the Northern Huns is astonishingly high, let alone being incorporated into Parthia and regaining the glory of Parthia.

If they were given some time, without interference from other empires in the process, they would even be able to re-establish an entire empire, a super empire, on the resting corpse.

This combination, let alone Rome, which has not yet figured it out clearly, would still be severely punished even if the Han Dynasty bumped into it rashly.

Ganassis had no idea what they were facing, and he was still immersed in thinking about whether to destroy Anxi first.

Time goes back a little here, back to the time when the Western Regions were in turmoil.

As the Duke of Border County, before starting the war against Parthia, Ganassis carefully chose to allocate a large number of manpower and let them lurk in the trading market of the four countries. They planned to cut off the transactions between Parthia and other countries first, and then send troops

attack.

The trade market is a good thing. This is the consensus of the Roman senators. They can buy better silk at a price several times cheaper. This alone is enough to make all the senators excited.

But now this trading market is not theirs, it belongs to Parthia, which is very bad, so they decided to stop this trading market first. Without Rome joining the trading market, there is no need to exist. This kind of capitalizing on the enemy

exists and needs to be eradicated as soon as possible.

As for the method of cutting off, it is natural to use the most primitive and violent means to destroy the trading market. Terrorist attacks are a good reminder.

Of course, Rome did not want to cause public outrage. If the Kushans and the Han Dynasty were really offended and the four countries gathered together to attack Rome, Rome would be uncomfortable. Beating Parthia and Great Britain at the same time was already their limit.

And it was just a beating, which was far from killing these two countries.

Just one Rest lasted for hundreds of years, and adding Great Britain to the mix brought even more variables.

Even if the Han Dynasty is beyond their reach, if Guishan really gets involved, then they in Rome will be cleansed and left to die. The empire will also use the basic law, one to three, forget it, it will really kill people.

Especially now, Rome is very weak.

Except for the legion under Severus himself, which had been fighting against the beast tide in Africa for a long time, the other legions had not participated in a tragic war for a long time.

The previous several battles with Great Britain were all point-blank, and there was no ruthless attack at all. It can be regarded as a process of constant exploration by both sides.

Although for ordinary kingdoms, this process of temptation is enough to destroy them several times, there is indeed no large-scale war between the two sides.

Rome was warlike, but firstly, it was not driven by hatred, and secondly, it was not attracted by interests. It was totally worth the loss for them to spend a lot of combat power against Great Britain.

Moreover, in the war with Great Britain, 99% of the people who died were Roman citizens, not those weedy barbarians. The Roman Empire was heartbroken.

They themselves were troubled by the problem of the number of barbarians. They used Anxi to kill the number of barbarians and quietly balanced the proportions of the two sides. As a result, after a few trial wars, their proportions began to run wild in the direction of imbalance. This was also their direct result.

The reason for stopping the war with Great Britain.

The gain outweighs the loss, and you may even suffer the consequences.

It has to be said that Ganassis's methods were very good. Even Li Ru was a little burned out by Ganassis's thankless destruction.

It is always easier to destroy than to maintain. That is to say, Li Ru is famous for his tough and clever methods, otherwise it would be impossible to maintain stability.

Li Ru has been investigating who is so disgusting. Although the transaction is beneficial to all four countries, he still spares no effort to destroy the trading market.
