Chapter 939 Strategy for Northern Kushan

Chen Xi was very sad.

And I'm still worried about money.

This is almost impossible for him. He is now a human printing press. As long as he is willing to push the price of bread to half a million every minute, no one will be disturbed by this.

Because as long as he lives, no matter how large the amount is, the market will not be chaotic.

He can even use this method to harvest a wave of foreign wealth.

But he really started to feel bad about money.

When Hua Xiong came back from an inspection trip with a lot of money, he was not upset.

Han Xin and Huo Qubing came out of Wuyang Palace and asked him for a sum of money. He was not upset.

Guo Jia told him today that the price of meat and grain had risen a little, and he became upset.

Cheng Yu, who came to hand over the work, was very surprised. This incident reflected some things, but it would not cause the great man's God of Wealth to worry about it.

"Zichuan, there's no need to be so worried. The price is just a little high. It shouldn't be a particularly bad thing."

"You don't understand!" Chen Xi said weakly. The economic base reflected the superstructure, and the price of food and meat increased. To him, it was a strange signal that the mountain had collapsed.

"Do you know why it rises?" Finally someone asked him, and he also wanted to complain.

"It's just that someone is buying grain!" Although Cheng Yu didn't know what happened specifically, he still inferred based on common sense.

"Yes, someone is buying grain!" Chen Xi nodded.

"Guishan? Or Parthia?" Cheng Yu was even more puzzled. He could guess this without any intelligence.

"It's Kushan!"

Chen Xi sighed, it would save trouble to talk to smart people.

But this was discovered by his own investigation. Cheng Yu could guess it, so he can imagine what the current atmosphere in the court is like.

Kushan and Parthia have long been listed as targets of attack, and public opinion is also guiding the trend, emphasizing the anti-humanity between these two empires.

This is also a normal operation. Except that there is no need for a reason to fight the Huns, everything requires a division to be famous.

You can't imitate Chu and tell others that I'm a barbarian, right?

That's a bit too low-priced, so it's better to honestly find some excuse to save face.

"?" Cheng Yu was even more puzzled. Hasn't this thing been determined a long time ago? It's not a big deal for Guishan to collect a little grain.

"No, you don't understand. Kushan merchants purchase large quantities of grain, which means they are profitable. However, Kushan itself is a major grain-producing country. Under normal circumstances, they would not need to purchase so much grain!"

"If they are preparing for war, they should buy other war supplies from us instead of food."

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and suddenly realized.

"You mean there are other forces involved? Great Britain? No...you mean the enemies across the sea?"

"No, I mean...wait, the enemy on the other side of the sea?"

Chen Xi's original intention was to say that Guishang's abnormal behavior was probably due to a conspiracy, but there was no way of knowing what the conspiracy was. This was the real reason for his distress.

Although it will definitely be a battle in the end, it is the job of wise men like them to understand all the opponent's movements in advance.

Although he is a salty fish, he still has to carry the banner of the wise when everyone is performing their duties.

Originally it was just to make a complaint and relax, but after a few words with Cheng Yu, a new way of thinking suddenly opened up.

"The undead don't need logistical supplies. The elves don't lack food and don't eat meat. In other words, they are the human race and the beast race..." Chen Xi narrowed his eyes.

They also know something about the situation on the other continent. In recent years, there have been many refugees such as Qu Yi's concubine, all of whom escaped from the other continent.

They also have a basic understanding of the shape of the American continent.

However, as far as they know, the Undead Empire should be the only one in America now, and the other empires must form a vague alliance to resist the undead attack.

Kushan's navy is very strong, and it is not impossible to establish a line with America and develop trade routes.

"Trading with another continent? It does seem to be a good idea!" Chen Xi kept the idea in mind and planned to let the navy give it a try.

It would indeed be a good thing if trade between the two continents could be opened up.

"Zichuan, I want to go to the Yizhou War Zone, what do you think?" Cheng Yu said nonchalantly.

It was already a consensus within the Han Dynasty that Kushan would launch an attack, so many people actually wanted to go to the front line. The fastest way to become a marquis or prime minister was through war.

A guy like Cheng Yu who follows orthodox Confucianism naturally wants to go and fight.

"It's not impossible!" Chen Xi pondered for a moment and felt that Cheng Yu's request was a good one.

Although he looked down on Kushan in the past, after Kushan defeated Brahma and began to rise, Chen Xi no longer regarded the Kushan Empire as a soft persimmon, but truly regarded the Kushan Empire as an opponent.

Kushan itself is also one of the places where ancient civilization developed. It will indeed produce some talents. Even if they are not military gods, there will definitely be some famous generals. This is the foundation of a country with a large population.

With a large number of people, it is easy for any moth to come out. It is reasonable for Guishan to have one or two famous generals.

What was the reason why Kushan was weak before? It was a system issue.

The big pit of the caste system is really the kind that you can't climb out of if you fall in it. The original Kushan was also trapped to death for this reason.

But things are different now. There are real gods in this world, and they can be pulled down and killed. Brahma has become a god, and the living ones have become new gods. Brahman has been completely dug up and has become a dog for the monarch to stabilize the country.

The original divine right of kings became the divine right of kings at the moment Brahma died. Kushan, who was originally rubbish, completed the unification in an instant, and it was also a highly centralized unification.

To a certain extent, Vesudeva I is now following Qin Shihuang's playbook, sweeping away internal troubles and pro-government, suppressing all opposition forces, twisting the entire country into a rope, and preparing to go out and sweep away the six countries.

Although it cannot be completely compared, Kushan now has the capital to drag other empires into the quagmire of war.

If he was given a few years to develop, he might really be able to compete with the Han Dynasty.

However, capital belongs to capital, so the Han Dynasty will naturally not watch it develop, and has long planned to get rid of Kushan.

As a result, the Parthian Huns suddenly appeared, and in their eagerness, they could not think of any good way to win the war on both sides. They could only take it one step at a time.

However, the Han Dynasty is now strong and strong, and there are many fierce generals. The possibility of this generation taking over is still very high.

So I might as well set aside a period of time to develop my strength.

After all, the mess in Kushan is still huge. The great unity belongs to the great unification. It is easy for thieves to break through the mountains, but it is difficult for thieves in the heart to break.

Nangui has been poisoned by Brahmins for more than one generation. It is not that easy to eliminate the influence.

At least this generation is unlikely. It will take at least twenty years for the next generation to grow up. They have plenty of time to develop first.

Chen Xi is very confident about this. The Han Dynasty will only develop faster and will not stagnate.

However, the Han Dynasty also expected it. If Kushan wanted to eliminate the influence, he could only launch a war.

Parthia itself is being suppressed by Rome, so Kushan will not choose Parthia. After all, if Parthia falls, they will have to face the pressure brought by Rome, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, taking action against the Han Dynasty became the best choice. Anyway, they have done so several times, and this time is not the last time.

"In short, you can go if you want. The problem of Kushan is not as serious as you think. Even if it rises, it will not care about the final glory of the army. It will basically be possible to win them all in about twenty years!"

Chen Xi said with a touch of pride.

Originally, his idea only took ten years, but after the unification of Kushan, it was indeed a bit tricky, and the time was doubled.

But it's only twenty years, which is still early for young people like them. Twenty years later, he will only be in his forties, in his prime.

Kushan has potential, and is still converting that potential into force. It can even be said that his destiny is deepening, but reaching this point is the limit.

Kushan went astray from the beginning, and Vesudev was not Qin Shihuang. His foundation was too weak and he had no culture of his own.

From the very beginning, the Dayue clan was different from each other. They learned the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, but did not learn it well. They learned the cruelty and madness of the Xiongnu, but did not learn it well. Then they pieced together the Dayue clan with two half-baked tricks.

Then they came into contact with the Brahmins. It can be said that the Kushan Empire learned from three schools, but none of them resembled them.

This has resulted in the Kushans themselves being unable to recognize each other. The current unification is only on paper and there is no chance of unification in the mainland.

If I had to use an analogy, it would be that Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and had not yet begun to implement the system of prefectures and counties. He also did not have the same writing system, unified weights and measures, or unified weights and measures.

However, even if there is a great unification on paper, it is still a great unification, which is why Kushan began to rise.

The foundation is not strong, but they have reached the standard of a true empire. This is also the ability of Kushan.

If this development continues for decades, and another figure like Han Gaozu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty emerges, he might be able to recreate the rise of China. Unfortunately, that only exists in fantasy.

"Hahaha, about twenty years, you are really confident!" Cheng Yu sighed after hearing this, and laughed again, "Twenty years is a long time, but it is also very short, not to mention that I can still live there if nothing happens.

one day."

"Only at this time can you realize how young you are!" Cheng Yu was a little depressed. He was born too early. In this golden age, they can only participate in it at the earliest time, and I'm afraid they can only watch it later.

This is also the reason why he wants to go to the front line. While he is still at his peak, he can do more things, so that he will have fewer regrets when he gets old.

"By the way, I want to ask, how is it here!" Cheng Yu raised his head as if he thought of something. Naturally, his going to the front line was not without purpose. This was an idea he came up with after chatting with Cao Cao.

He found a map, pointed to the northern part of Kushan and said.

"Without a road, it's easy to fall into the desert and high mountains!" Chen Xi shook his head. Although the world was different, the general location of that area was still near the legendary Imperial Cemetery.

If a large army battle falls into that kind of situation, the gains may outweigh the losses.

"How about building a road? You said ten years have gone by anyway!" Cheng Yu said silently. This was the inspiration he got from chatting with Cao Cao. He asked Chen Xi because he wanted to know how much this project would cost.
