With Zhong Yao taking over Li You's work, and without taking away more ruling personnel, the Han Dynasty could barely survive the shortage of personnel. The problem is that if it survives this time, there will be another one
, next time.
[Did I make the stall too big?] Chen Xi thought with some confusion. To be honest, he said that unification was just the starting point, but it was just to use it as a goal. He just didn't expect people like the Han Dynasty.
I actually did better than I imagined.
So much so that now there is a rhythm where Chen Xi is being dragged forward, instead of the early days when Chen Xi was suppressing the general trend of the world and moving forward.
Guiguzi has a saying: Those who observe the trend are wise, those who control the trend are wise, and those who control the trend are the only ones in the world.
The most powerful thing about Chen Xi is that the timing of each intervention is very clever, and he is able to tie the entire world's trend to himself, thereby creating an effect that is unique in the world. Of course, it is undeniable that Chen Xi's spiritual talent and
Chen Xi's internal affairs abilities make more people willing to believe in Chen Xi's plan.
As for future credibility and foresight, if you can't pass the previous hurdles, then whatever you say is just nonsense.
After thinking of this, Chen Xi couldn't help but start to review the development of the Han Dynasty in the past few years. To be honest, leapfrog development is really no joke. Even Chen Xi himself looked back on his work and results in the past few years and admired them. Sure enough,
There is still a big difference between doing it and not doing it. The tree that embraces each other is born from the smallest grain; the nine-story platform is born from tired soil. You still have to do it!
"It seems that you all know it now. The Roman-Parthian war has reminded us that the empire we see is not an empire that burns out all its foundation and potential at the final moment. Although Kushan looks terrible,
, In fact, we all understand that that country does have a terrifying background." Chen Xi sighed and said with a cautious expression.
If Chen Xi mentioned the Four Empires in the past with a sense of ridicule, now he has truly acknowledged the title. The civil servants and generals present also acknowledged the existence of Kushan, even if they would never strategically use it.
Even if they are treated equally, in terms of tactics, they will definitely be viewed from the perspective of the empire.
Similarly, Jia Xu, the civil servants who once watched Chen Xi speak about the world map hand-drawn on white silk, also became cautious at this time. Even if Anxi collapsed, he was not weak at the moment when the empire collapsed. To say so
If so, even the Parthian Empire at that time, and even Vologis V at that time, still had the power to suppress the countries in the Western Regions.
However, the power that the kingdom could not even touch from afar still collapsed when facing Rome. Anxi was not weak, but Rome was too strong.
It was disorganized, had potential but could not realize it, and even the superior Han Dynasty counselors directly refused to recognize the strength of the Kushan. The top brass of their Brahmin family collapsed at the last moment, and the Yuezhi from the East Asian Monster House completely opened up.
of fangs.
If the war in Peshawar and the fighting between the Brahmas and the Brahmas showed Bei Gui's power enough to make the Han Dynasty official, then the previous letter showed their wisdom as conquerors. For more than ninety years,
After the expansion, the restraints imposed by the Brahmins were torn apart, and even the Han Dynasty was shocked when they saw the battle report.
In this world, it is not just the Han Dynasty that has wise men. At least from this moment on, even the Han Dynasty can no longer easily regard the Kushan Empire established by the five great Yuezhi clans as barbarians. This world holds millions of square kilometers of fertile land.
, who has tens of millions of people and millions of armors, who is lucky?
Even for India in later generations, China has been ridiculing and teasing them, but who remembers that they have a gross national product among the top five in the world. Money is the source of combat power. The difference depends on who you compare with. The entire earth can stand up straight.
If you say the other party is very weak, I'm afraid it only has five fingers.
What's more, this is a country that has become a pole in human history before the general trend of the world has been established. What belongs to India belongs to India, and what belongs to the Great Yuezhi belongs to the Great Yuezhi. It is true that India will always be conquered, but the Great Yuezhi are not conquered.
They were actual conquerors, conquerors who had penetrated the imperial cemetery and killed all the way from north to south, from Khwarazm to Khorasan.
To put it in the terms of a wealthy family, whoever's ancestors don't have some good foundation, let alone being able to stand in this position, even if it is poor, how much worse can it be.
"Guishan, please be careful. If Nan Gui completely turns into production logistics and lets the millions of people in Northern Gui free up, even if we can win, it will be very difficult." Chen Xi said with a sigh,
"Times have changed. It's true that we are strong, but our opponents are not the kind of local emperors in the Central Plains who can be kings in just one state."
"Each of them has a population of tens of millions, and each of them has advantages that we can't match. For example, Rome's material transfer speed, the Mediterranean Bath can easily transport people and materials from any location in the country within a month.
It is impossible to transport it to another port within the Han Dynasty even if we repair the road." Chen Xi pointed to the blue bathtub in the middle of Rome and said.
"Similarly, the biggest advantage of Kushan is that it has land that can be cultivated well. You can farm for one year and eat for three years. Do you understand what this means? It means that if General Guan and Guo Fengxiao had not joined forces to capture half of the Ganges, we would have
Drag him to death!" Chen Xi said coldly.
Kushan doesn't need any tactics at all. He just needs to fight slowly and slowly until the Han Dynasty is short of food and grass, and then he wins. It's that simple, because Kushan can spend 300,000 troops without stopping.
war, and the Han Dynasty could not withstand such logistical pressure.
And once a war is forced to the point where a quick victory is sought, defeat is not far away.
"Rome is too far away. Let them fight the Yuan family. If they can delay it, then retreat to the east of the Ural Mountains. If the Romans like the black land, let them take it away. They will deal with Kushan first.
The debts in Eastern Europe can be settled later." Liu Bei suddenly said.
Chen Xi told Liu Bei about the problems in Eastern Europe, and he also understood that once that area was occupied by Rome before the Han Dynasty recovered, it would be impossible for the Han Dynasty to conquer that area again even if the Han Dynasty recovered.
Because it was too far, too far for the Han Dynasty. Thousands of miles away is nothing. If you really take into account the terrain changes, thirty thousand miles is no joke.
Chen Xi's thoughts on that area are basically, occupy it as much as possible, get the upper hand, and develop silently. It doesn't matter who occupies it, as long as the meat rots in the pot, it is better than being killed by the Romans or
Barbarian took it away.
"Black soil?" Cao Cao said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, let's put it this way, the land suitable for farming in the world is ranked among the top five, and the Ganges River is firmly ranked first." There is nothing that cannot be said at this time. Let's go all out to solve the Kushan and then talk about other things. Eastern Europe
If you can occupy that area, occupy it. If you can't occupy it, give it up first. Anyway, it's unlikely that Rome will occupy it all, with their short legs.
"No wonder, that's the case." Xun Yu also understood at this time, no wonder the Yuan family had reached that step, it turned out that they were crucified.
"Forget it, we can no longer control the situation there. How the situation will turn out depends entirely on how much money Rome is willing to make." Chen Xi sighed and said, to be honest, the situation in Eastern Europe is just like that now. To put it bluntly,
There is no other choice but to give in.
Unless there is a portal that can drive all the Han Dynasty's armies through, otherwise, Rome's geographical advantage is already doomed. At this level, it is really beyond the reach of intelligence, let alone the Roman side.
The staff team is indeed quite capable.
As a result, the current result on the Yuan family's side is just as the trial match originally estimated. There is no choice but to give in, and the actual situation cannot give in, so we can only just act. It can be said that this is basically a game.
It is a losing battle, but even so, it cannot be won without fighting.
This completely uncontrollable situation made Chen Xi and others very distressed. Although they knew very well that Rome was unlikely to spend the money to attack the Yuan family, this fate was not in their own hands, but in the hands of the enemy.
No one wants to bear the feeling.
"The situation of the Yuan family became clear after we watched the Roman-Parthian War. It is impossible for us to give up the opportunity to attack Kushan and assist the Yuan family. The more important point is that the distance is too far, so far that we can't
It is impossible to provide full assistance." Chen Xi spread his hands, feeling very helpless and could only look at the Yuan family's own performance.
"Life and death are determined by heaven, wealth and honor are determined by destiny." At this time, Cao Cao had roughly understood Chen Xi's original thoughts and the mentality of the Yuan family after reaching their current position in Sizhao City. Although this matter was caused by Chen Xi digging a hole, it was also true.
It was the Yuan family who jumped into the trap themselves.
In the current situation, Cao Cao really has no choice but to send a blessing. Compared with a war with Rome, after five toils and seven injuries, China's best expansion period in more than a thousand years was forced to stop.
To be honest, Cao Cao is now inclined to let the Yuan family take the lead first, and then all their main forces will kill Guishang first.
But comparing the strength shown by the four parties, Cao Cao estimated that the Yuan family was beaten to death by Rome faster than the Han Dynasty beat Guishang to death. Even if Rome was serious, Cao Cao estimated that the Yuan family would be pushed aside.
It's all a matter of course.
As for the Han Dynasty pushing the Kushans flatly, save the money and experience it in the Imperial Cemetery. The difficulty of breaking through this is explosive. There are also Kushan elites accumulated in the Ganges. The main force of the Han Dynasty there can't solve it at all.
