Chen Xi did not know that the pie he drew for Li You and others had been confirmed by Li Jue to be authentic, and that Rome, which was about to be in chaos, was forcibly stopped from committing suicide because of the existence of a powerful opponent in the sky.
.
Unlike Anxi, who knew the strength gap between the two sides and tricked his own people to death, the Romans were very serious when facing their opponents.
The main reason why Rome was in crisis in the third century was that it had no rivals. Just like the Han Dynasty, which was undefeated in the world, Rome also entered a state of invincibility after rejecting Parthia, and had no rivals in the world.
In this prosperous era with no foreign enemies, it seems that no one can hold back and seek death. This situation cannot be saved by either the East or the West.
In the previous life, Rome never received any news about another powerful empire, but in the battle of Ganasis in Central Asia in this life, no matter whether the Romans won or lost, they all understood that Rome was never alone in this world, and there were people in the far east.
A powerful empire like theirs that points its sword at the world.
The vast distance could not stop the ambition of the Romans, and the Romans did not feel that the rolling yellow sand could hinder the determination of another empire to conquer.
The so-called empire will never destroy its own ideas because its opponent is far away. Likewise, the so-called empire will never perish because its opponent is strong. The empire is not afraid of expeditions or failure. It is lonely and proud, and is always ready to conquer its own enemies.
opponent.
Even if a country is large and warlike, it will perish. This saying has never been suitable for an empire. For an empire, peace can only make it tired. Only the battlefield of iron and blood can build an immortal empire. When foreign wars stop, when the empire conquers
The moment the footsteps stopped, the empire entered its twilight years.
A vigorous dynasty always has the determination to expand its territory, not to be afraid of others, and has the belief to be undefeated. When conquests stagnate, and when the enemy surrenders, the empire loses its former power, internal strife, and collisions between vested interests.
, the empire became a passing cloud in a blink of an eye.
The Han Dynasty in the past and the Rome of today are actually about to cross the peak of the empire. The full moon is no more than this. The difference is that the Romans also have an enemy named Anxi who has been fighting with them for hundreds of years, while the Han Dynasty
There are no more enemies in the room.
The collapse of the Parthian Dynasty also meant the fall of the Roman Empire's glory, and the pace of conquest stopped in Central Asia, which also meant that strife within the empire had begun. If the iron and fire of the empire could not erupt outwards, it was destined to vent internally.
Neither the glorious Rome nor the powerful Han Dynasty died at the hands of foreign enemies. In the end, they collapsed in shame by their own people. The prosperity of the empire faded away, leaving only traces of nostalgia.
However, when Li Jue appeared in Central Asia and the Romans rested in peace with their whips and laughter, it was destined to never happen again.
The Romans did not have the concept of the sky being the same as the sun, nor the idea of the earth being the Lord of the earth, but this did not mean that the Romans would allow a powerful empire by their side, an empire powerful enough to push them into the abyss.
Similarly, after the Han Empire cleared the grasslands and subdued the north and south, looking back at Central Asia, I am afraid there will be no happy thoughts when seeing the powerful Qin Empire.
Even if the distance between the two sides is thousands of miles, even if both sides share a piece of land, this cannot stop an empire's determination. A powerful enemy is not a threat to an empire, but on the contrary, it should be regarded as a help!
Because of its strength, because of fear, because of confidence, because of fear, there are countless reasons. Even if it is thousands of miles away, the empire's desire to conquer will not stop.
Just like the Roman Parliament, after receiving the news from the Duke of Bianjun, immediately suppressed the unrest in the Parliament and began to transfer the conflicts outward. After Li You and others received the news from Li Jue, their first reaction was to think about unification as soon as possible.
, compete with each other.
However, what is different from Rome is that Li You and others were tortured by Chen Xi long before the news came, and they had sufficient psychological preparation. This was completely different from the situation in Rome where many people slapped the table and expressed disbelief.
It's just that the Romans are still a unified country after all, and they have considerable advantages in many aspects. At least they have completely integrated the internal situation of the country and re-armed the vassal states much faster than the Han Empire.
In short, the eyes of the wise men at the top of both sides turned completely red after seeing another great empire clearly appearing on the mainland. Both sides knew very well what an ancient empire meant, and what kind of power the threat of the same powerful empire would have. They
They all understand.
The battle between empires was already doomed when Li Jue and Ganassis met. The confident and arrogant empire, the confident and equally arrogant Romans and the Han people all destined that peace between the two sides was impossible.
Even if the distance of thousands of miles means that it is impossible for the two sides to collide head-on, the existence of the empire means that it is impossible to admit defeat. A war on the mainland is almost impossible, and the place where the two sides will fight has been decided during the conversation between Ganassis and Li Jue.
Come down.
Just like the Romans ignored the Parthian Empire, the Han Empire would not take the interests of the Parthian Empire to heart after it truly entered the stage of competition. The empire that went abroad was the real beast. In the country, it could not show its strength no matter what.
It exudes the temperament of an empire.
Just like Li Jue's words when he crossed the border and confronted Ganassis, he righted his position. Empires are never created by staying at home, but by going abroad to conquer and conquer enemy countries.
Conquer the opponent and rely on your own bravery to establish it!
Just like dragons do not coexist with snakes, tigers never regard mad dogs as their enemies. The only friends and enemies of empires are empires. This empire can be its enemy or itself. The collapse of empires will never be the result of the efforts of small countries.
, usually seeking death by oneself...
What the empire is, even Chen Xi can't explain clearly, but now Li Jue can say it. The empire is a will, a style, and also a momentum, which allows you to travel everywhere in the world.
A fearful attitude.
In the great China, at the end of the Han Dynasty, how many people could understand the mentality of Ban Chao who defeated several countries in the Western Region with dozens of people? I am afraid that very few people still understand the mentality of Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty who destroyed the country by himself.
The empire is behind me. I have nothing to fear. If I die, the Mother Congress behind me will let your entire country give an explanation.
Compared with the glory of the empire, what is the pity of my life? The moment I step out of the country, in order to protect the glory of the empire, what should I not throw away in my life? The strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties is not just soldiers and armor.
What is even stronger is the imperial heart hidden in the hearts of the people!
