Although this is suspected of playing with fire, as a descendant of the Yueshi family, Vesutiva I really couldn't find anything that could prove that he was superior to Yan Gaozhen without having a relationship with the Han Dynasty.
However, now that there is a record of a complete victory between the Imperial Navy and the Han Dynasty Navy in a head-on battle, Vesudeva I's confidence in having a fight with the Han Dynasty has become even stronger.
Vesudeva I thought silently.
Li Jue had no idea that in order to save trouble and keep the entire Western Region within the scope of his Han Dynasty, he moved his base from the small country in the Western Region to Congling, a place with high terrain and which is said to be the site of Mount Buzhou.
What problems will it cause?
The soldiers under Li Jue's command at that place had some difficulty breathing. Li Jue, Guo Si and others believed that this was the pressure left by the ancient sacred mountain, so Li Jue, Guo Si and others wanted to take advantage of it and enclosed the land there.
.
This was originally the territory of Dawan or some other country. However, because Li Jue had done too hard to suppress bandits in the Western Regions, he wanted to enclose the land here. The king of that area didn't even show up, so Li Jue occupied the land.
Be the king.
After Li Jue occupied the land and became king, he originally planned to build a small city on it and move all the remaining Xiliang Iron Cavalry soldiers there. As a result, it was difficult for the soldiers to adapt to this environment at first, and the small city could not be built. However, it took a long time
After that, Li Jue discovered that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry headquarters, which had reached its limit and seemed to be no longer strong, had actually become a little stronger.
Even though it's just such a small amount, it makes sense that the three soldiers in their headquarters are all elites who have followed them for many years. These soldiers are extremely powerful in themselves and have achieved almost perfection at their own level. Even if they want to
I can't find any direction for progress.
Otherwise, he would not have claimed that he had no way forward. He was the strongest legion under the military spirit. However, after moving to the ruins of Buzhou Mountain, he went down to the plains to fight. Li Jue inexplicably found that his soldiers had become stronger because they had been there for several years.
The strength of the soldiers has not changed, so even small changes are obvious to people like Li Jue.
Therefore, the plateau among the plateaus with an altitude of almost 5,000 meters was occupied by Li Jue. Although his breathing was not smooth and the wind was as sharp as a knife, people would freeze to death in the morning and scorch to death at noon, but as long as he ran and jumped every day,
In order to become stronger, Li Jue wanted this place.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has reached this level, and every step of progress means transcendence for Li Jue. There is no way ahead for them. Unless one day suddenly jumps to the level of military soul, the only thing that can grow is combat experience.
Now Li Jue can clearly feel that the soldiers' toughness and endurance are increasing at an extremely slow rate. This is a very scary thing. Although endurance and toughness cannot directly improve combat effectiveness, the accompanying continuous combat ability is very impressive!
"Huh..." Li Jue exhaled a puff of white air and complained to Guo Bang on the side, "I feel a little tired of breathing after staying in this wretched place for a long time. Is this the so-called residual power of Buzhou Mountain? How are you two doing?
."
"No, I'm very tired. When can I activate the legion talent? If it doesn't work, I can achieve inner energy separation from the body." Fan Chong is tired. They are now climbing the ruins of Buzhou Mountain with his soldiers.
It is the second highest peak in the world.
"I'm bored too." Guo Si dug up a handful of ice and snow, threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it, and then took a sip of wine.
"The mountain is so high that you can't see the top at all." Li Jue's breathing was a little rapid. After all, the inner air was not leaving the body. The body still had a very high demand for oxygen, and he was naked in the wind and snow at dozens of degrees below zero.
It's enough to climb this thing.
"Climb another thirty feet, let the brothers have a drink, rest, and don't have any accidents." Li Jue turned to Guo Si and said, and then Guo Si said to the commander who was a dozen steps behind him, and then one level after another
Pass it on.
The first time, Li Jue couldn't climb to a place lower than this position. Then when he turned around to look, he found that his brothers were all one and a half steps away from each other, struggling to climb up, and they were almost the same person.
Almost all the people who climbed high in the pyramid were generals in the cavalry, and Li Jue was very satisfied with this.
At least the tradition of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has not been lost, and the ability to be the leader is good, which also proves that he is not blind, so Li Jue turned his head to greet the soldiers and prepared to go down the mountain.
As a result, the sound was too loud, which directly triggered an avalanche. If it weren't for the amazing endurance and toughness of the cavalry soldiers, who were not afraid of danger and could form a military formation in an instant and use legion attacks under such circumstances, the breakthrough itself would not be too big.
There was a big avalanche, and the Xiliang cavalry might have died before they even got out of the battle.
Since that time, this group of people no longer dared to shout when climbing the mountain, and instead passed it on step by step, for fear that such a thing would happen again.
After Li Jue and others went down the mountain and returned to the camp, the group finally dared to make a loud noise.
"Have you noticed that the higher you go up the mountain, the more tired you become?" Fan Chong took a few deep breaths to calm down and said.
"That's true, but sooner or later I have to climb to the top of the mountain and erect a monument on it." Li Jue said with a smile, "But this kind of training is really very expensive. We will probably have to buy another batch of grain and grass later.
.”
"There's no point in raising troops with something like money. It's a pity that the Western Regions have ruined the place. If we capture a wave of people, they can't keep up with our training." Guo Bang said helplessly, "It would be great if there are Qiang people, at least they can barely keep up."
Used as auxiliary troops."
Li Jue also looked helpless. It's not that they hadn't recruited troops locally, but the people here simply couldn't meet Li Jue's requirements.
But having said that, if a normal person is directly thrown into a legion like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and undergoes such high-intensity training, he is considered a good person until he dies.
"If we want suitable soldiers, we should go to Liangzhou to recruit them. If that doesn't work, how about we send someone there?" Guo Si suggested.
"That's okay. Anyway, there are many remote areas in Liangzhou. Just practice and practice. Who among the three of us will go?" Li Jue asked, "But what is the situation with the military advisor? Why haven't we sent any troops yet?"
"It's probably because of the delay." Fan Chou said sadly, and then followed Li Jue to look at Guo Si.
"Why let me go?" Guo Bang said with a dark face.
"You are a horse bandit. Of the three of us, you must be the most familiar with maps." Li Jue said without any sense of restraint. Among the three of them, Li Jue was from a slightly better background and was considered a wealthy family. Fan Chou was from Dong Zhuo's tribe and was considered a wealthy person.
Xiang Yong, while Guo Si is directly a horse thief.
"How many troops will we recruit?" Although Guo Si was stunned by Li Jue's words, he did not refuse. Among the three of them, Guo Si was indeed the most familiar with Liangzhou.
"Recruit ten thousand people to see if there are any wild horses. If there are any, grab more. If not, grab some Qiang horse farms." Li Jue made an estimate and said.
"We can't afford this much. Ten thousand cavalry will eat us to death just by eating it." Fan Chou said speechlessly. Now he is in charge of logistics among the three, so he finally understands that Li Jue was in Chang'an back then.
He was unwilling to give them food and grass. Food was really a big problem. "When there are few people, you can still eat without robbing them. But when there are many people, robbing them simply doesn't work."
Li Jue was stunned. He had no good solution. "We need a smart person to come over. He will think about running out of food all day long. If there is no food, it will be impossible to live."
"Ah Duo, remember to grab a smart person to help us take care of the rear." Li Jue thought about it again and again, his head hurt. He probably couldn't come up with any plan. Finally, he waved his hand and dismissed the matter.
Give it to Guo Si, go to Liangzhou and grab one.
"Those who can snatch it back must not be smart!" Guo Bang had an idea for a moment.
"Then what should we do?" Fan Chou said angrily.
"How about Ah Duo, go and see the military advisor secretly? By the way, didn't Dawan give us a piece of beautiful jade? Take it back and give it to the military advisor." Li Jue stroked his beard and thought for a while before saying.
"That's okay. That piece of jade is good. It won't be a shame to give it to the military advisor. However, the military advisor is far away in Mount Tai. It's not a problem for me to go back to Xiliang and order people to recruit troops. But Xiliang is thousands of miles away from Mount Tai. This trip will cost a lot of money."
There is not a lot of time." Guo Bang said with a frown.
"Stupid, after arriving in Liangzhou, you can go to Mount Tai by yourself. It won't take too long. Besides, the King of Dawan gave us three sweat-blooded horses. Although they are not pure sweat-blooded horses, they can travel thousands of miles a day.
No problem, we won’t waste a few days.” Li Jue curled his lips and said, “I’ll lend you both of our horses, it’ll be quick.”
"Oh, this is good. After arriving in the Han Dynasty, just use the seal and ribbon." Fan Chou agreed from the side. The three princes of the three of them have not been deposed. By the way, they still have the scepter representing the emperor, so they don't need it when they arrive in the Han Dynasty.
Worried.
"Then I will leave later." Guo Bang nodded and said, "I will take away a team of 100 people and leave the rest to you."
After finishing the meal, Guo Si selected a hundred soldiers with excellent riding skills, each carrying ten days of food and equipped with three horses, and then set off on the road.
After watching Guo Si leave, Fan Chou asked Li Jue, "Zhiran, why are you suddenly so anxious to recruit troops?"
"I have a strong feeling that we are about to start a war here." Li Jue said with a solemn expression, "If the number is the same, as long as the terrain is suitable for the cavalry to perform, we have nothing to fear except the Army Soul Legion, but the ones entrenched here
The forces are too complex and there are too many.”
"Is there going to be a war?" Fan Chou was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. As a warmonger, he was really disgusted with life without war.
"We are strong, but we are also weak." Li Jue shook his head and said helplessly, "Lao Fan, think carefully about how you defeated the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Marquis Wen with the same number."
"How do I know?" Fan Chou looked at Li Jue speechlessly, "I remember that I was very angry at the time. I just remembered that I wanted to defeat all the enemies in front of me. Who knows what happened."
"Marquis Wen had legion talent at that time, and he led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to improve greatly. If you could defeat him at that time, you are already very close to legion talent." Li Jue sighed and said.
To be fair, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and the dead Zhang Ji were all good at commanding troops, but Li Jue opened the door to the legion's talent, and the remaining two were stuck there.
"I have no impression at all." Fan Chong said helplessly, "If I could awaken, I would have awakened early. But having said that, the three of us have no distinction between each other at all. If I awaken, who will be blessed?"
"We can discuss this kind of issue after you wake up." Li Jue said angrily, but he couldn't help but think about what Fan Chou said. He was considered the smartest among the three.
Li Jue thought silently,
Just when Li Jue was thinking about what Vorogis V was doing, this Parthian emperor who had fought back to the Mesopotamia in history had finally accumulated enough strength during the buffer time when Rome had purged the country and conquered the northern barbarians.
He is going to take action against the seven nobles of Parthia.
Of course, he did not destroy all seven nobles at once, but chose one of them. The other six nobles, Vologis V, cannot move around now. As a royal family, although he is considered to be extremely talented, but
The few short years of suppression from the time he ascended the throne to now were not enough for him to accumulate the power to overthrow the seven nobles.
Therefore, Vorogis V only chose one family this time - the Surun family of Sistan. This family is the most noble family among the seven Parthian nobles. It enjoys the special power of crowning the king and its status is second only to the king.
, has a huge retinue and private armed forces!
Basically, he is the strongest military noble in the entire Parthia. This is the strongest. In the previous era of Vologis IV, it included the royal family, but now Vologis V is ready to attack that family. Of course, before doing so,
He was also a little uneasy.
After all, this is a very powerful family. Even if it integrates the power of the royal family, if there is no external force and the two sides face off, it is unclear whether the royal family can win.
However, Vorogis V had no choice. He needed military power, and the Sullun family had always held the military power of Anxi. This was a huge constraint for him, so no matter what, he needed to overwhelm the Sullun family first.
Of course, this is just a thought. It is best to be able to overwhelm them. If not, he can only choose to injure them hard enough to master them. Atratome, whom he met while patrolling the royal city, trained him a very powerful force.
elite, and this elite is his greatest support.
The same elite also placed his hopes on it, so he called this legion the Parthian Horsemen, hoping that he could pull the Parthian Empire out of the abyss like a god descending into the world.
This was the most glorious cavalry regiment before the end of the Parthian Empire. It is still at the elite level. After destroying the seven nobles, Vologis V captured the Mesopotamia and defeated Rome.
