But looking at Tacito's resolute look, Caesar didn't say a word in the end. He just nodded silently, saying that if you are willing to try it, just try it. Some things can only be understood after doing them, but only by facing them squarely.
The difference is the only way to truly become stronger.
The Ninth Spanish Legion then went to challenge the Tenth Knight, and was defeated without any surprise. This failure made Tacito a little sad, but then he made the decision to follow the other legions to Eastern Europe after the new year.
, use the Yuan family to sharpen the knife.
In fact, Tacito wanted to go to Kushan, but after he spoke, he was suppressed. In the words of Pompianus, unless one of you reaches the level of first assistant, otherwise, don’t even think about going to Kushan to participate.
The Battle of Han and Gui.
Although the Praetorian Guards already stand above most of the legions, if they want to participate in the Empire War, they still have to join the weaker side. To be honest, it is hard to say what the final result will be.
Tacito's Ninth Spanish Legion does not have particularly strong survivability, nor does it have the ability to fight beyond its limits. Without these two, once it is surrounded, it is likely that it will not be able to escape, so Pompianus has no chance of escaping.
He rudely rejected Tachito's proposal, and then asked Tachito to go to Eastern Europe to fight with the Yuan family.
After all, compared with the completely out-of-control imperial wars between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Dynasty, the war in Eastern Europe was consciously able to control the rhythm with the strength of Rome. Letting Tacito pass can not only temper the situation, but also avoid major wars.
Loss, gain two birds with one stone.
Although Tacito is somewhat dissatisfied with this, there is no good solution, because both Caesar and Severus believe that this judgment is correct, and no matter how high-intensity the battle is, it will not be enough for Tacito.
What practical significance.
Therefore, Tacito had no choice but to accept this proposal in the end, and after the beginning of the new year, he followed the three Eagle Banner Legions led by the Duke of the Northern Border Counties to Eastern Europe.
The changes in Rome did not affect the Yuan family who was sleeping in winter. In fact, let alone just one more Ninth Spanish Legion, even if there were two more, the Yuan family had nothing to fear now. Huangfu Song's arrival was extremely
It greatly strengthened the Yuan family's combat effectiveness, and the arrival of the Deng family once again consolidated the foundation of the Yuan family.
"I noticed that apart from being a bit cold here, everything else seems to be pretty good." Deng Tong looked at Yuan Tan with emotion and said with a hint of admiration on his face.
Before coming here, the Deng family relied on the descriptions of the Yuan family to imagine, and they were somewhat determined when they came. After all, based on their previous understanding of the Yuan family, they really couldn't be sure whether the other party had deceived them in this regard.
.
However, there were some minor problems with the Deng family in Nanyang during this period. In addition, the Yuan family provided sufficient benefits, and finally the Deng family decided to come to the Yuan family.
It's not that it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but the current situation of the Deng family is not suitable for expanding the territory. Even if the establishment of a feudal state is the wish of many aristocratic families, it can only be accomplished in light of reality. The situation of the Deng family is very difficult.
It is possible that the establishment of the country failed and one's own family was involved.
Again, the Deng family is very large among many aristocratic families. The merger of more than a dozen families is comparable to the top families. However, the biggest difference between the Deng family and other families is that they cannot merge.
, just unified under the name of Nanyang Deng family.
Originally, in the subsequent history, the Deng family would gradually divide and then become a large number of families. Now with a feudal state hanging in front, the Deng family can still be twisted into a rope. However, this level is very reluctant, and
There is a big difference between the Cui family and the Yang family.
This is also the reason why the Deng family was forced to choose to join the Yuan family in the end. If they merged into one in twenty years, their combat effectiveness would be strong enough to create a country on their own. But now there is no time to merge into one. Deng
A family is like a loose sand, a bunch of leaderless families united under the name Nanyang Deng Family.
This painful reality finally forced the Deng family to compromise internally and externally, and then accepted the Yuan family's offer, leading to the current situation.
Of course, the Deng family still has some brains. At least they know that no matter how nice Yuan's words are, they can't change the nature of surrender. As for being a collaborator, just listen, the Yuan family's strength is in the process of expanding, and sooner or later they will
Push them into subordinate positions.
But now that the situation of the Deng family has reached this point, there are not many choices left, and being able to come here shows that you have accepted reality.
"You shouldn't be so praised by Deng." Yuan Tan looked self-effacing. The arrival of the Deng family was also a good thing for the Yuan family to adjust the population ratio. This seemed unimportant. In fact, Yuan Tan realized that if he didn't take this matter into account,
If things go well, the Yuan family will definitely be the target of public criticism in the future.
Even though the old Yuan family is quite powerful now, when other aristocratic families grow up and those bastards look at the huge old Yuan family, when they seize the opportunity, they will definitely shout the slogan of respecting the king and rejecting the foreigners.
It can be said that everyone knows what the aristocratic family is.
Other aristocratic families are still considering the issue of founding the country. At this stage, the Yuan family has actually begun to consider the issue of continuation. Adjusting the population ratio can greatly eliminate the possibility of being besieged in the future. This is why the Yuan family is willing to pay.
out of some profit reasons.
"This is not a compliment, but the truth." Deng Tong calmly raised his glass and said, "The Yuan family is indeed a powerful family."
"A hero?" Yuan Tan nodded silently. He left the Central Plains three years earlier than Cao Sun and accumulated considerable advantages. But if he really wanted to overwhelm Cao Sun, Yuan Tan was not confident. After all, the foundation of their Yuan family was
This is the state after being significantly weakened.
After both the guests and the host had a great time, Yuan Tan first arranged for Deng to move to Xiancheng next door. Huangfu Song and others' subordinates also lived there. As for more detailed arrangements, they need to wait until the beginning of next year. It is only preliminary now.
Just confirm your intention.
"Huh, it's been three years, and we have finally reached this point." Yuan Tan went to visit Xun Chen and others in person, and made arrangements for the work for the coming year.
"It's a pity that it's so cold here in winter that even the army has a hard time training outdoors for a long time." Shen Pei glanced at the wind and snow outside the window with an indifferent expression, and then looked at the stove burning coal.
said.
"We plan to build a large indoor training ground next year. We have verified the relevant buildings with the craftsmen. It will be difficult to build, but it is not impossible to complete." Xu You said with a smile while stroking his beard.
Xin Pi, Gao Rou and others also felt a little emotional when they saw this. The Yuan family has experienced ups and downs, and now it is starting to move towards the top again. Beyond the past is not that far away.
In the past three years, the work of Xun Chen, Xu You, Shen Pei and others was mainly based on survival, but now they can finally work hard for a better life. This is a very big change, which means that the old people
The Yuan family finally gained a firm foothold.
"A large indoor training ground." Yuan Tan said softly, "In the future, soldiers will be able to continue training in winter. Although training in the snow is also very important, such training will last a long time in such too cold weather.
It is very likely to cause non-combat losses. It is better to conduct other training indoors as much as possible. It is still very important to maintain combat effectiveness."
"How many legions do we have that can participate in high-end wars now?" Xu Youyou asked curiously. This year, he was mainly contacting Slavs from various places to establish a new alliance so that it could become a united force for the Yuan family.
strength.
"There are three legions on the Slavic side, heavy axemen, heavy infantry, and bear cavalry. These three are elite legions that we established by integrating the power of the Slavs." The person in charge of the review and distribution was the military, and after taking a look
Yuan Tan then opened his mouth to explain.
"As for ourselves, we have a heavy crossbowman, a super heavy infantry, a Yuyang assault cavalry, a heavy spear and shield soldier, and the rest are scattered and unorganized legions. These large and small legions add up.
There are close to 50,000, and they belong to the real elite." The judges clicked through one by one, and these were almost all the Yuan family's cards.
"Actually, compared to the elite units, we are not inferior to Anxi before the final battle. We even have some advantages over them, but we have a very obvious shortcoming." Xun Chen sighed and said, Gao Rou
When Simpi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. With their wisdom, how could they not understand.
"We are at fault. Our regular elite troops are not large enough." Shen Pei spoke up on behalf of Xun Chen. This is a very embarrassing reality. The Yuan family now only says that the most elite legions are already very strong, but in a real fight,
They will be in a very awkward situation, as their main soldiers are not large enough.
"So our goal for the next three years is to develop in a low-key manner and reduce external conflicts. Except for fighting Rome, we will reduce other wars as much as possible. Once we start, we will directly mobilize elites to kill them. Our current situation cannot recruit a large number of them.
The common people will be trained." Xun Chen said slowly while looking at Xun You and others, and directly finalized the Yuan family's development plan within three years.
"It is inevitable that we will participate in some other wars. After all, the internal consistency of the Han Dynasty needs to be taken care of." Yuan Tan put down his wine glass and said calmly. He has now adapted to his identity. More importantly, Yuan Tan now knows that some things have changed.
If you can't, you can only endure it.
"When the time comes, we can just send the elite. We don't need to send regular soldiers in that kind of war. We can just go and deal with three double talents. This is already a very big support." Xu You waved his hand and said, in the battle between Han and Gui, as long as
If the Yuan family takes action, they must participate. It is not just a war, but also a kind of qualifications and status.
