The first thousand two hundred and eighty chapters should not be so
Soon after, Rome opened a popular assembly that had not been held for many years, and the other four border Dukes also returned to the Roman Peninsula one by one. At this time, Severus' authority was successfully established, and no one could underestimate it.
Ganassis, who also sent back important news and immediately turned to Severus, also successfully entered Severus' circle and returned to Mesopotamia soon after.
The difference from before is that in half a year, Severus will transfer the Parliamentary Guards and the Sixth Army to Mesopotamia and hand them over to Ganassis' command, and will also equip them with a large number of Teutonic ax throwers.
This elite foreign army.
As for now, after Severus passed his authority through the Roman Parliament, the first order he issued was to clear out and surrender the Germans in northern Rome, to clear up the trouble left by Commodus first, and then to significantly strengthen it on this basis.
the strength of the army.
Different from the Romans who were desperate to use and eat lead pits in this period of history, in this life because of the sacred stone, the Romans used lead on a large scale, which led to serious racial polarization. To put it simply,
It is said that one is either very strong or half dead.
The reason is actually a problem of internal energy. If the level of internal energy is high enough, lead poisoning will cause the living body to instinctively strengthen itself to avoid being trapped to death due to uninterrupted attacks on the entire life system.
This is actually the same as the immune system. It is precisely because of being injured that the immune system becomes more complete. However, most Romans could not handle it and became disabled.
Of course, those who can carry it are the strong ones, so Rome in this world still maintains its interest in using lead, saying that it is something that only heroes can use, and ordinary people will kneel down if they use it.
It's just that the Romans thought that they were all heroes, so two-thirds of the Romans were half-dead, and only one-third of the Romans were very strong, and this one-third of the Romans were in the true sense
of Roman citizens.
In fights, wars, etc., apart from foreign mercenaries, the really powerful ones were these Roman citizens. Because these people used lead and became stronger, they would recognize the concept of themselves as heroes in their hearts.
That's why the Roman heavy infantry was surprisingly capable of fighting. This is why Li Jue's Xiliang cavalry activated the legion talent after changing their equipment. Excluding those archers who had basically no ability to fight back, they only killed only a thousand Roman citizens.
.
For Rome, they collectively believed that they were a heroic race, and similarly for the Han Dynasty, they collectively believed that they were stronger than all opponents who were not the Han Dynasty!
If there is any difference in the combat effectiveness of the four great empires during this period, it is probably due to their own perceptions. The perceptions of Kushan and Anxi are still within the normal range, while the perceptions of Rome and the Han Dynasty should probably be considered against their will.
Very common knowledge!
One is the hero of the people, and the other is that I am always stronger than my opponent. These are all idealistic. However, for war, the source of morale is these idealistic attributes.
In the current era when the spirit of heaven and earth is rising, beliefs are enough to change a lot of things. Although this collective vague belief is not highly unified, it will clearly show its differences during war.
This probably also determines the strength of the legion-level combat capabilities of the four empires. After all, the empires compete in all aspects, and the confidence of the people and soldiers also affects their respective results.
The affairs of the West Pole do not attract much attention in the current Central Plains. It is estimated that except for Liu Bei, there is still some attention. For other princes, they are basically classified as barbarians.
What's more, the distance between the two sides is quite far. Before the official road in the northwest was paved, the exchange of intelligence between the two sides was a very serious problem. Therefore, the Central Plains side had no reaction to Great Qin's actions, and each still did its own thing.
In Yecheng, Chen Xi looked at the increasingly lively streets and alleys. He was sitting at the main seat of the Government Affairs Hall reviewing government affairs. As the weather was still warm, Chen Xi did not work at home as much. He still needed to show his face in the Government Affairs Hall.
He has to show that he is working hard.
"Shen Zhengnan is really crazy." Chen Xi looked at the intelligence sent from the Youzhou border. The second support army sent by Shenbei from Youzhou had arrived, and the entire strategic situation in southern Youzhou was directly affected by Shenbei.
It was turned around with an army.
"It's better to be crazy than dead." Lu Su lowered his head and dealt with government affairs, not looking at Chen Xi at all. He could guess the current situation in southern Youzhou by guessing, and it was nothing more than giving up the south or giving up the north.
, however, Shenpei cannot give up the south.
"I always feel like there's something wrong with the matchmaking process." Chen Xi looked up at the beam and said.
"In this situation, no one can perform well? If you don't believe me, ask Wen He?" Lu Su quickly reviewed the government affairs. He has now developed the skill of chatting and reviewing government affairs at the same time.
"Wen He, what do you think?" Chen Xi bit his pen and asked with a frown. Ordinarily, one person's selection of Cao's Five Strategies and Five Good Generals should not be so rough.
Although Chen Xi also admitted that even if it were Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and others would have had no choice in this situation, he still felt that Shen Ping's performance was not worthy of the original strategy of Cao's Five Strategies alone.
"..." Jia Xu didn't say anything. After rubbing his temples to suppress his bad feeling, Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and said, "At least so far, there is really no problem with the trial match. His choice is not wrong. At this time, there are two sides.
Taking care of both will inevitably lead to losing both sides.”
Chen Xi was slightly disappointed, and couldn't help but feel helpless. Times indeed make heroes. Thinking about it, there was indeed some luck involved when he was reviewing the allocation orders for the Cao family.
"How did Mr. Xuande handle it?" Chen Xi turned to ask Li You.
"My lord said that you will handle the less important military affairs recently. After all, you are getting married." Li You glanced at Chen Xi and said.
"Oh, let's move Zhang Yan, Yin Li, and Zhu Ling to the north. We'll fight two battles first to see if they fail. If it doesn't work, just maintain deterrence and delay Yuan Tan's army." Chen Xi nodded and immediately began to deploy military affairs.
Although Chen Xi's military strategy cannot be said to be very good, he can still assign it step by step. What's more, if Chen Xi only looks at the general direction, it won't be too bad. After all, the main goal now is not to compete with Yuan Tan immediately, but to delay.
He followed Yuan Tan and waited for Xianbei to arrive, then attacked from both sides.
"Wenru, can you see if there's anything missing?" Chen Xi asked.
"That's fine." Li Youluo thought about it and replied, "What we have to wait for now is the news that Xianbei has entered Youzhou. I don't know what the current situation is with Kong Ming."
