Chapter 3931: Turn over the table to cause trouble
That's what they say, but in fact there is only one reason why Cui Jun gave up going to Kandahar, because it was too far away, and the main force of the Cui family and the Yang family actually had no way to go.
From the inner side of the Caucasus Mountains to Herat, the distance is more than 1,300 kilometers because we have to avoid the Caspian Sea, and it takes several hundred kilometers to get from Herat to Kandahar. Even though Ma Chao only took a month to get there
It's over, let's change it to Mr. Cui and let's go.
No matter how fast the Euphorbias marched, they could still outpace the Xiliang cavalry. If they really wanted to rush over, it might take next year. And when next year, Cui Jun thought about how to finish all the battles. He might as well be more realistic and deliver the goods from the Caspian Sea.
, rowing directly to Eastern Europe.
This is the safest route, and it is also the fastest and most effective way. As for the Anping Guo Family, Cui Jun has been positioned as a white glove from the beginning. There is a high probability that even the Euphorbia warriors do not need to go through the Anping Guo Family, but
Depart directly from Caucasus to Yuan's house.
To be honest, if he really wanted to hand over Euphorbia to Anping Guo, Cui Jun would have to think about Guo Zhao's situation, so he would just complete the handover directly with a voucher.
As for the so-called handover from the Cui family to the Guo family in Anping, after the handover is completed, Guo Zhao is handed over to Eastern Europe. That is nonsense. The official transaction method is that the Cui family informs Guo Zhao, and Guo Zhao changes hands and hands the Euphorbia to
Yuan family, then let Cui transfer it and that's it.
In fact, Cui did not need to transship. Cui shipped from the Caucasus, took the Caspian Sea, and then took the Volga River directly to Huangfu Song's Volga River camp.
Essentially speaking, this business has not surpassed the Anping Guo family at all, but the Anping Guo family has obtained the corresponding benefits. It is really like the liberation of Libya. French chickens did it, but French chickens are not the only ones who really want this result.
.
It can only be said that the Cui family just stood firm and it was time to take the road of independent development. In addition, they did not want to have anything to do with the Yuan family anymore, so they just returned it when the Yuan family needed it most. From now on, we will not owe each other anything.
The Cui family doesn't want your Yuan family's resources either.
On the contrary, choosing the Anping Guo family is essentially a random selection of a greedy big family, and the Anping Guo family matches everything, so it is transferred to the Anping Guo family. As for how much benefit can be obtained from it, to be honest,
This time it really depends on Anping Guo's ability.
"Should this be considered a complete end with the Yuan family?" Cui Lin sighed and said, "The Euphorbia is really easy to use. If it can really complete the smelting of the burst of power, combined with heavy armor defense, in addition to the heavy guards,
They are all the absolute best.”
"Maybe there will be resurrection." Cui Jun said with a smile. Cui Lin had nothing to say. If resurrection ability was added to this, he would have to rely on will attacks to fight.
"If you return it to the Yuan family at this time, that guy will owe you a favor. Although the Yuan family will not express anything, they will help when it is really in danger." Cui Jun said calmly, "As for resources and so on
It’s no longer needed, we can just stabilize the country now.”
Cui Lin nodded when he heard this, "Then let's take the route of Qi's martial arts warriors next? Relatively speaking, this route is not very strong."
"Everyone is not strong now. This is the most suitable time for us to change talents." Cui Jun waved his hand and said, "It depends on you. Strength and weakness still need to be coordinated. After all, we have not developed to the next level.
stage."
After all, Cui Lin has a very good mind, and he naturally understands the state of the Cui family, and even most aristocratic families. He couldn't help but sigh, "We are still far away from the next stage, and can we reach the next stage?"
It’s still a problem.”
"Let's see." Cui Jun sent Cui Lin away.
The aristocratic families that are still alive and kicking now more or less have some skills. Even before the Heavenly Change, there were still Imperial Guards. But after the Heaven Collapse, the Imperial Guards were basically wiped out, except for the Taiyuan Wang family.
He is a serious general, but other families can't support him by hundreds, and at least he has zero eggs. Most of them can't guarantee full strength with dual talents.
But the same situation is basically the same for Cao Cao, Yuan Tan, and Sun Ce. Except for one or two of the top headquarters of the Imperial Guards under their command, which remain at full strength, the rest have also been downgraded due to taking shortcuts, and after being downgraded,
The situation is almost the same as there used to be a full regiment of Praetorian Guards, but now there are nearly a thousand Praetorian Guards.
Cao Cao has relatively more troops here. Of course, these are mainly the veterans of the Central Guards who Cao Cao prostituted from Yongliang. The scale is not large, about 10,000 people, but Cao Cao did not completely integrate them into a legion.
Scattered among various legions as middle and lower-level generals.
Before the heaven changes, Cao Cao was ready to retire triple-smelted veterans like Li Jiong, because in terms of strength, they who were almost fifty years old, compared with those in their early twenties, could reach the forbidden level by overflowing with talent and strength.
The soldiers of the Guards did not have any obvious advantages.
Although I have to admit that the skills transformed from the talent of smelting will not be lost. Even when they are approaching fifty years old, the combat effectiveness of people like Li Jiong has declined, but they are still at the level of the Imperial Guard.
But at that time it was meaningless to Cao Cao.
After the change, veterans like Li Jiong, who were nothing special before but were about to retire, became prominent. Even though the talent intensity of the legion they joined did not reach the dual talent limit, their strength declined compared to the previous time when they were members of the Royal Guards.
.
But the foundation of the triple smelting is still there. Even if the overall army's talent strength is not strong enough, it can still steadily exert the strength of the Imperial Guard, but it is relatively weaker.
This is what Lao Cao has to do next. He needs to select the Imperial Guards who have been restricted due to insufficient collective talent strength from ordinary soldiers and reorganize the Imperial Guards, because these people are all in the smelting industry.
The route of talent skills means that they have some talents and have mastered them to a considerable level.
On the other hand, if these soldiers are gathered together and have sufficient commonality of talents, they can restore at least two full guards in a very short period of time.
If it didn't make sense to do this before, when these soldiers normally serve as the backbone of the middle and lower-level generals under their command, such direct transfer will affect the overall combat effectiveness of the legion.
But it's different now. Lao Cao had previously planned to retire these veterans who were nearly fifty years old, so he arranged for new middle- and lower-level generals early on.
At that time, when Li Jiong taught the skills of the centurion, he actually explained the problem. He had already resigned as centurion, and he only helped the new centurion during the march, and then retired after the Chinese New Year. Therefore, these people were removed.
It doesn't affect combat effectiveness much.
This was also the first thing that Cao Cao had to do after withdrawing to Kandahar. Do you really think that I don’t have any guards? The guards who were skilled in smelting were transferred to the army as the backbone of the army. Now that the weather has changed, they are taking shortcuts.
They have all been beaten back to their original shape, and the soldiers under his command are also led by middle- and lower-level backbones. There is no point in a single guard soldier in the army, so recall them!
In fact, Rome and the Yuan family are in the same situation, and it is much more serious than Cao Cao's. However, Rome and the Yuan family have not noticed this yet. The former is because of the strength of the young soldiers, and the young soldier system has recovered with the spirit of heaven and earth.
As for the Collapse, the latter was purely for internal affairs management, and divided half of the elite backbone of nearly 100,000 people back then and transferred them to the private sector.
The most embarrassing thing about Rome at that time was that due to the recovery of the spirit of heaven and earth, the strength of the young soldiers quickly caught up with the old soldiers, so Severus merged the legion system, and then let the middle-aged people go home to recuperate, using the impulsive heroes'
Young people are the main force.
Tianbeng knocked all the young people back to their original shape, but when the prime-age soldiers were first trained, the essence of heaven and earth was not as nonsense as it is now. Those people are now forty years old, and the talent for smelting is still there, but Severus
Send these people out of the army.
In fact, the Guards Corps can still be maintained now. Except for the super elites who have been fighting on the front line for these years and have not stopped at all, the rest are all former veterans. Earlier, I wanted to take a shortcut, but
There is no shortcut to take.
It's just that these veterans are older. Even if they have developed muscle and physical talents, their peak period will be longer, but after the age of fifty, they will actually decline. In addition, the major forces of the Han army,
They also paid more attention to the population, so they eliminated the veterans in batches.
This is also why the Han family has more imperial guards in proportion, because the Han family generally only has one or two legions, and their two legions themselves have procured the seeds of the imperial guards in vain, and these seeds cannot be retired.
, changes in the weather will not affect these veterans who were members of the Praetorian Guard around 180 years ago.
To say something exaggerated, Qi Xuan, the old guard commander of Changsha Kou family who is more than 60 years old and almost 70 years old, no matter how old he is, he will still be at the level of the guard after the changes in the sky.
If you drop it, the stamina bar is even more rubbish at best, but most opponents are not qualified to greet each other's stamina bar on the battlefield.
But in essence, these people have actually retired from the army, or have even retired from the army, especially before the change of weather. They were also members of the Imperial Guard. There was not much difference in strength between the two sides. Anyone with a normal mind would know how to use a twenty-year-old soldier.
Young and strong, not old men in their fifties or sixties.
Even if the latter is experienced.
In fact, the current situation in Rome and the Han Dynasty is also the same. The new generation of the Praetorian Guards is broken. The older generation is okay, but they are too old and they are a little embarrassed to go out.
But that was just because he was embarrassed, not because he couldn't take it out. The first thing Cao Cao did when he returned to Kandahar was to reorganize the veterans who were originally going to be ordered to retire.
