"Cao Zixiu broke into the Kabul Valley?" Chen Xi had just finished entertaining his children and lay down with Zhen Mi to rest when he received the news from Chen Ying from the outer courtyard.
"Forget it, I'll go see what's going on first. Is it so serious?" Chen Xi rubbed his cheek, trying his best to wake up, comforted Zhen Mi, put on his coat and started to leave. It was late at night in Chang'an, It's already quite cold.
When Chen Xi arrived, Jia Xu, Li You and others had already taken their seats. Since Liu Bei was not in Chang'an during this period, he was just trying to find a way to inform people. It can be said that everyone who can come has come.
"Is there any battle report?" Chen Xi asked after sitting down and looking at Fazheng who looked tired. Fazheng, who had been working hard to take care of the children and take care of the housework recently, was obviously much more tired than before.
"Here, it's very unexpected. I won it as soon as I said I would." Fazheng handed the battle report to Chen Xi with a touch of tiredness. "The loss is not big. The most difficult level is over. We have lost roughly three thousand." It’s really incredible how many people there are.”
"That can only mean that when Cao Sikong was around, the generals and soldiers under his rule did not contribute much. After replacing them, they were much better." Zhuge Liang said calmly. There was nothing wrong with Cao Ang's invasion of the Kabul Valley. Dissatisfied, public matters are public matters and private matters are private matters. Zhuge Liang can still distinguish this kind of thing very clearly.
"Wait for the result, sit still, and continue to advance as before. If you are repelled, then treat this battle report as non-existent." Chen Xi said calmly, and then looked at Fazheng, "Normally, if it is just Kabul, You probably won’t inform me of the side information, because this kind of thing can’t be notified until tomorrow morning, after all, the result is already determined.”
"The results are out in Northern Europe." Guo Jia was silent for a while and said, "The battle report from Kabul arrived one after the other, so I thought about it here and felt it was necessary to inform you about two things. Notified together."
"What's the result in Northern Europe?" Chen Xi asked with a raised eyebrow.
The previous negotiations between the Han Dynasty, Kushan, and Rome were concluded. Kushan was willing to devote most of his energy to execute the plan to kill Odin, and the Han Dynasty also contributed a small part, which was barely enough for Rome to mobilize around the Mediterranean. Utopia's energy dissociates the entire Odin force.
Then after the three parties finalized their respective tasks, the Roman side began to take action. After careful calculation, they launched the Utopia around the Mediterranean in the morning of Rome today. The whole grand ceremony was smashed, and the effect was just like that expected by the Han Dynasty. Like that, the fully unfolded Utopia around the Mediterranean can extract and control the essence of heaven and earth. For living beings like aliens that are pinched from the essence of heaven and earth, it can be called a dimensionality reduction blow. Almost all the aliens affected are instantly It was dissociated into the essence of heaven and earth.
"Isn't this great? It is completely in line with our previous estimates. The annihilation of the aliens by this attack mode is also our plan." Chen Xi asked with some confusion after hearing this. Wasn't this the plan they had prepared before? Why? , something went wrong?
"It's very good, but something went wrong." Fa Zhong said with a hint of sadness on his face, "The Roman Empire exploited too much, which caused problems in the final stage of the ideal land around the Mediterranean. Although it hit
The Odin Group was defeated, but the Odin Group was not completely annihilated.”
Chen Xi had a question mark on his head, "Wait a minute, what are you talking about? What's the reason why Odin wasn't annihilated? Tell me again?"
"The Roman Empire exploited oil too much. They took away some of the cloud gas reserves we gathered from Kushan and used them." Fazheng said helplessly, "As a result, the cloud gas allocated to the Utopia around the Mediterranean was not enough.
In the end, the technique failed to be fully launched and only most of Odin's divine guards were annihilated. Then Odin fought tooth and nail to break through the battle line and led the remaining soldiers into the Atlantic Ocean."
Chen Xi's whole body was numb. If other things had thrown themselves into the Atlantic Ocean, the Han Dynasty and Rome would have won. But Odin and his remaining soldiers jumped into the Atlantic Ocean. This was the last moment to give mankind a wave of strength, right? Rome was
Is there a hole in your brain?
"What exactly happened?" Chen Xi breathed out and suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart, "Rome shouldn't be so unwise, right? Odin's disaster is much further away from our Han Dynasty than their Rome. The disaster
The first one must be the Roman Empire. In this case, they don’t want to take down Odin now, but they actually misappropriate the resources that we and Kushan squeezed out to them. What do they think?”
"The situation in Rome is worse than we thought. Although the news we have been receiving is that chaos in Rome will lead to chaos, the Roman Empire can still suppress the overall situation. But after this wave of incidents, Rome told us
To be honest, the food shortage in the Roman Empire is much more serious than previously estimated." Fazheng said with a solemn expression.
"Don't the Claudius family have considerable food reserves?" Chen Xi asked with a raised eyebrow, "And even if the food shortage is serious, why should we use the cloud gas resources that we and Kushan transferred to us? This stuff is not for food.
,What are you doing?"
"Because of the food-making technology, relying on the ideal land around the Mediterranean Sea and the huge amount of cloud gas reserves, the food-making technology can create food that makes the Romans feel at ease." Zhuge Liang said with a bit of sigh, "This is how part of the cloud gas was used by the Romans.
Consumed.”
"Is the situation in Rome so serious?" Chen Xi frowned, "It shouldn't be. Where are their food reserves? And I heard that the first round of food and grass from the Yuan family has been sent. To a large extent,
It alleviated the pressure on the Roman Empire, why is it still so serious?"
Because of the special rice seeds given by the Han Dynasty and the forcible canonization of the Yuan family by Rome, Rome has successfully obtained the first wave of new grains. It is said that the biggest crisis has passed. Why is it that now it feels more and more serious?
It's serious.
"Before, we observed that it was not too serious and should be able to stabilize. Even if unrest breaks out, it will only happen in certain provinces, but the current situation is different from what we expected." Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi expressionlessly and said, "Rome's
There was a borrowing of grain between provinces, and the method of borrowing grain was quite rough."
No matter how much the Han Dynasty played, it was at least a big government, and Rome's tax farming system caused various provinces to have their own flower jobs. The barbarians at the bottom encountered different kinds of exploitation, but this time the conscientious Roman citizens only took
80% of the time, it looks like the barbarian has no chance of survival and has no choice but to explode.
Originally, Sergio's intention was to provoke the turmoil himself, and then show the Roman Empire's superhuman ability to suppress the turmoil, letting other people with ideas and ambitions think about it, and letting the rebels in the Senate
Stay calm, don't make random connections, and give yourself strength.
As a result, Sergio failed. The turmoil he provoked was not suppressed for three days, and then the whole country was in flames.
To be honest, just like Chen Xi, he wanted to hire a shield guard to force Kuishang to develop attacks. As a result, the armor of the shield guard was too thick, which made the attack type talent completely useless. If he continued to strengthen it, he would not be able to penetrate it. So Guishang also started to develop defense.
So much so that Chen Xi's last move was not thrown at all.
The same goes for Rome. Originally, their plan was to provoke unrest, and then crush the opponent in three days, relying on violence to completely destroy other people's ambitions. However, the Second Parthian Legion that implemented this plan to wipe out the rebels was too cruel. I mean you
This group of rebels did not understand the hardships faced by Rome. The country had prepared food for you, but you did not receive it on time, and you still caused trouble at this time, so all the rebels were killed.
As a result, the rebels directly developed a rebellious mentality. Damn it, you won’t give it to me if you have food, right? I will continue to explode with you, so that the crushed flames directly turned into fire and flew in all directions, making the entire Roman territory
There are barbarian uprisings everywhere.
There is no way, Rome does have food. There is indeed nothing wrong with what Parthia said. Even if the food in Rome is not enough for everyone, it is enough for at least 80% of the people to live as before. But the problem lies in the rest.
on the 20% gap.
The more difficult the time, the more some people want to take more and more, so that even though there is food, the barbarians just can't get it, and the behavior of the Second Parthia is like a dark reality that the barbarians could barely accept.
It completely exposes what is on the table - there is food, but you can't get it.
That's nonsense. If I break up with you, I'll die anyway!
Then war broke out everywhere in the Roman Empire, even in Severus' hometown. There was no other way, the locals had no food to eat, so what are they waiting for if they don't rebel?
Before, they were waiting for food relief and support from the country. That was because they had basic trust in the country and the government. They believed that they would handle this kind of thing well. Even if the situation was bad, they would still give them food. They would not really allow them to do so.
starve.
As a result, I now know that the co-author’s so-called trust is all nonsense. There is food, but we can’t eat it. If they want us to starve to death, then just talk and do it.
It's just like the very classic saying in the history of China for thousands of years, but the core of which most people can't see through - using legal means to solve problems means that I give the law a chance and it is my respect for the law and the government, not that I have to ask for it.
It's up to the law and the government to solve it, but I respect you based on your past performance and let you handle it. If you can't handle it, I have the power to solve the problem. Why, I have a knife!
This is what is going on in Rome right now. Although the barbarians are oppressed by Rome, living in Rome is, after all, much better than living in the wilderness. In addition, living in Rome has room for progress, so no matter how harsh the words are, life
The barbarians in Rome ultimately had the idea in their hearts that they wanted to become Romans and become masters.
Even if you are lying in the mud, even if your spine is bent by life, as long as you can still see the beautiful life of others, you will inevitably want to be in it. The same is true for barbarians. Barbarians are also human beings, so barbarians are also waiting.
Rome's rescue.
The conscientious Roman citizens only took away 50% to 80% of the relief food and grass. Although there was very little left for the barbarians, at least the barbarians could get it. At least the barbarians were made aware that the Roman Empire at least remembered it.
Theirs is a little less, but the country at least remembers to give. I think there will be more in the future. They just need to hold on and get through it.
It can be said that this is the core of the lack of large-scale turmoil among the barbarians in the Roman Empire. After all, in this deceptive reality, the barbarians have been almost domesticated by Rome. As the fuel for the continued prosperity of the Roman Empire, they have great expectations for the Roman Empire.
Quite an expectation.
This kind of expectation allows the Roman Empire to return a little welfare, and the barbarians can think of more things on their own, and then give birth to themselves as a member of Rome, and continue to fight for the Roman Empire.
Until the moment when the Second Parthia exposed this diorama, the barbarians who were still able to deceive themselves finally exploded. There is so much food and such incredible food-making technology, but we can't eat it.
Rome, I'm breaking up with you.
If you don't know that some things exist, you can still live by it and deceive yourself and others. Even if you are actually aware of it, the human brain is the most magical existence in the world. They will exaggerate and make up for themselves, relying on imagination.
Use force, faith and other things to deceive yourself, and then survive in difficult situations.
But if the diorama is exposed, then an explanation will have to be given, and what the barbarians in Rome need now is this kind of explanation. It doesn’t matter if they really don’t have food. Since you have food and the means to make it, the result is that
I'll give it to you all, and I'll break it to you!
"Well, I can understand the thoughts of the Roman barbarians." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, "That is to say, Rome relied on the super model cloud gas provided by us and Kushan before, and used the food-making technology on a large scale in the local area to provide
In several places with severe turmoil, a large amount of starch was produced. As a result, not only did the problem not be solved, but it also made the problem worse, right?"
Nonsense, how could it not become serious? The barbarians are all rebelling, to the extent that half of the more than 100 provinces of Rome have large-scale barbarian unrest. In this case, using the food-making technique can be said to add fuel to the fire.
Oil, well, it is more exaggerated than adding fuel to the fire. What is happening in the Roman Empire now is no longer a barbarian rebellion, but a turmoil caused by the combination of Roman citizens and barbarians in non-core areas.
That's right, the Roman citizens in the border areas chose to join forces with the local rebellious barbarians, and the local citizens who were supposed to suppress the barbarians also rebelled.
There was no way. These local Roman citizens originally thought that Rome was really short of food. After all, they encountered a locust plague. They saw with their own eyes that their fields were gnawed away by locusts. In this case, the country was willing to come to their rescue. They
Naturally satisfied and loyal.
This is why the previous barbarian rebellions had little impact, because the local citizens were working hard to suppress the barbarians. But when the Spanish provinces experienced large-scale unrest and the Roman citizens in the Spanish region fought desperately to maintain the stability of the core area as much as possible, the Roman Empire suddenly
After the grain-making technology directly produced thousands of tons of starch, the Roman citizens in Spain exploded.
I originally thought it was because the country had no food, and even they were frugal on food and clothing, and did not dare to eat as big a meal as before during the war. But as a result, you shined a light and turned all the wood in the lumberyard into starch. I was so frugal on food and clothing before.
What's the point?
At that time, the Roman citizens in Spain who saw this scene began to think about the meaning of their group of people fighting against the barbarians for a few mouthfuls of food, especially Claudius, who wanted to reassure the locals that their Roman food
It is absolutely enough. There is no need to consider the issue of food and grass. There will be a steady stream of food shipped in the future, and once the food is not enough, the Claudius family will activate the secret technique of making food that they saw before, and it will grow by hundreds in an instant.
Tons of starch came out!
Then the local citizens turned against you. You bastard Claudius, fuck you. I thought you were really short of food. Since you are not short of food, wouldn’t you be given more if you were not short of food? I thought you were really short of food.
The country is short of food, so I don’t dare to eat more. I even fought with the barbarians for some food, and many people died. Now you tell me that there is enough food, so there is no need to do this, idiot!
If the Roman citizens who had already started a war with the barbarians because of the food and grass issue thought this way, then what the Roman citizens who had not started a war with the barbarians but received the news thought like this are the facts...
Anyway, the country still has food. As a citizen, I will take 90%, so that my family can eat enough. As for the barbarians, they can just wait for the next wave of rescue.
If the conscientious Roman citizens in the past only took 50% from the standpoint of the country, then if the Roman citizens still take 50% now, then it is not a matter of conscience, but a matter of brainlessness. Don't do this in this situation.
It is the same in the third century and in the 21st century.
Then the question came, did the Roman Empire really have so much food?
Of course it doesn't exist anymore. If it had, it would have been used like this and it would have been taken out long ago to stabilize the place.
The Roman citizens who took away 90% of the food and grass received only 10% of the food and grass, but the barbarians had a population several times that of the real citizens. It is self-evident what would happen.
In short, Rome is now in a raging war, fighting is happening everywhere, and even in many border areas, Roman citizens and barbarians are fighting another group of Roman citizens. Under such circumstances, it would be damned if Rome could completely suppress them.
It can only be said that the development of the situation completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Did the Roman Empire say what to do?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "This situation sounds more exaggerated than the Yellow Turban Rebellion here."
"The current idea is to suppress it, but it is very difficult." Zhuge Liang said with a sigh, "But based on the foundation of the Roman Empire, as long as the food problem is solved, it shouldn't take long, and in winter, this kind of unrest will stop.
, after all, in this year’s weather, it may snow in Rome, which is very fatal for many places in the Roman Empire.”
"Forget it, let Rome end Odin's Scourge on its own. Let's go back first and forget about that. I think Rome will be in chaos for a while." Chen Xi thought for a while and said with a bit of sadness.
