The foundation of the Yuan family is extremely strong. Although they were beaten to death by Liu Bei a few years ago, if you really want to say it, the foundation is still very strong. There are two middle-level generals who can command about a thousand people.
Three hundred people.
These people are enough to serve as the backbone of any force. Even Liu Bei has always had an attitude that the more the better when it comes to such people.
The current middle-level scale of the Yuan family is no worse than that of Cao Sun, and may even be a little higher. After all, Yuan Shao is the only one who has such a high demand for military strength so far.
Although Cao Cao and Sun Ce's subordinates also wanted to have large-scale legions, they have never been able to have such an opportunity, so many Qi practitioners have never had the opportunity to experience this kind of training.
As a result, at this level of thousands of soldiers, both Cao Cao and Sun Ce are somewhat short compared to the Yuan family. Of course, on the other hand, the Yuan family is very short of soldiers. After all, when they left the Central Plains, they took away the real soldiers.
There are only 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers.
However, after the construction of Sizhao City, the Yuan family expanded at a visible speed. The barbarians raided in northern Xinjiang and the Slavs who naturally surrendered gave the Yuan family enough soldiers, but they did not establish a management system at the beginning.
The power cannot be exerted.
After more than a year of rectification and adjustment, the Yuan family has now completely mastered the power of its subordinates. And as the relocated people gradually arrived, the Yuan family's strength in all aspects has gradually recovered, and there is still room for recovery of the remaining elites.
Arms.
With the remade heavy crossbowmen, the restored Yuyang Cavalry, and the heavy ax soldiers formed by the Slavs, the Yuan family's combat effectiveness is still quite reliable, with only three Romans
Eagle Banner Corps, they still have nothing to fear.
Compared with the time when there was only one super-heavy step support scene, now the Yuan family has room for change. The reason for trembling before was more because they were worried that the Roman legions would turn around and hammer them to death after finishing their rest, although Xun Chen was included
All the civil servants made a judgment-Rome was not so crazy.
But before the other party takes action, no one can guarantee it. Fortunately, they still have reliable inside information, which confirms that Rome will only send three Eagle Flag Legions in the end.
Although the three Eagle Flag Legions with great names are indeed very strong in terms of performance, they are just the same for the Yuan family. What's more, the goal is not to win, but to delay the opponent.
Fortunately, for the Yuan family, facing five or six Eagle Banner Legions and dozens of barbarian troops, their psychological pressure was suddenly greatly reduced.
What's more, there are only three heavy infantry legions. In a place like the Eastern European plains, if this is not possible, the Yuan family can still form a chariot legion.
As for the racecourse, the Yuan family made do with one. Although it was not as good as Chen Xi's state-owned ranch or what Jia Xu was doing at the time, it was still possible to form a chariot corps. There was no fear at all. The heavy infantry was very capable.
Strong, but tanks are not afraid of heavy infantry at all!
Besides, there are reinforcements from Huangfu Song behind, so the Yuan family is not panic at all now.
After confirming that their own strength could withstand this wave, they also understood that the Han Empire had no intention of cheating them, and had actually implemented the promise of uniting all the Xia. The Yuan family now no longer has the slightest worry.
But then comes the issue of profit distribution. As the old saying goes, the purpose of supporting you is not to raise a white-eyed wolf that will bite the family, but to provide part of the due strength to the family one day.
Similarly, the purpose of the country's efforts behind the scenes is not to raise a certain family to backstab itself, but so that one day when the country needs it, the family can stand up and contribute its due strength to the country.
This is a legal principle and an exchange, which is taken for granted and extremely natural.
After the Yuan family eliminated the hidden dangers, they naturally abided by this legal principle and distributed the corresponding benefits to the promised parties. This is why the Yuan family openly told the aristocratic families present how powerful their family was now and how much occupancy it occupied.
Huge territory.
"There are only three legions in Rome. Although the strongest First Italy is said to have the level of the Imperial Guards, my Yuan family still has some capital. It will be no problem to fight three Imperial Guards." Yuan Da
Said with a little arrogance.
The patriarchs and elders of all the families, whether old or young, all looked in the direction of Yuan Da. They had experienced that kind of arrogance too much, and it was just like the Yuan family's signature, but it also meant that the situation was indeed in the Yuan family's favor.
Under control.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Yuan family to show such an arrogant look, because on this occasion, if you let it go, you must do it. The Yuan family cannot afford to lose this person.
In other words, the Yuan family can actually block the Roman legions, so other families cannot afford to treat them carelessly.
"How much power does the Yuan family have now?" Chen Ji poked Xun Shuang beside him with his elbow, looking a little heavy.
"My nephew once came to my place to recruit people." Xun Shuang hesitated, but after thinking about it, he told the truth, "The population under my jurisdiction is between three and four million, of which the planned Slavs account for the majority, and the rest
It’s the people who migrated.”
"How many people were moved?" Chen Ji asked with squinted eyes, "I don't remember that there were only 160,000 people in Hanzhong."
"Well, Hanzhong is under the control of the Yuan family. Zhang Lu's meritorious Cao Yan Pu is a figure. When he left, he took away most of the people in Hanzhong. I don't know the exact number, but it is estimated to be more than 200,000." Xun Shuang sighed.
said.
"Then the Yuan family took the lead in Yuzhou and brought a lot of people from Yuzhou. There are so many people in Yuzhou that it's hard to tell if there are fewer people. Until now, we estimate that the Yuan family has tried every means to get away with millions of people.
We're gone." Chen Ji said with a serious expression, "It seems we lost the initiative."
"It's not like we missed the first move. Let's be honest. Can our three families combined, at their strongest, beat the Yuan family?" Sima Jun was quite contented and said with a sigh.
"If our nephews and nephews can be as obedient as your family, my family can beat the Yuan family to pieces." Chen Ji said angrily.
"As for my family, oh, if my family is obedient, I can do it too." Xun Shuang said helplessly. This was really not an exaggeration.
The Xun family originally had the strongest foundation and the best education system. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a bit exaggerated to gather a dozen Xun Yu, but it is still very easy to gather a dozen top spiritual talent holders like Xun Chen.
However, the situation of the Xun family is that a snake cannot survive without a head. How many spiritual talents are equivalent to how many heads. Naturally, no one can have an easy time. In the end, Xun Yu suppressed a group of people.
To say that this is a good thing, after all, if Xun Yu had not suppressed these people and kicked them out, it would be strange if the Xun family would not explode. However, the next problem is that Xun Yu himself does not listen to his family members. The elders of the Xun family could not defeat Xun Yu under his leadership. More importantly, Xun Yu could still use resources to silence the elders of the Xun family.
"So, we are all inferior to the Yuan family." Sima Jun was content with his contentment and took a very open-minded view on this matter. What's more, compared to the Chen family and the Xun family, the Sima family's foundation is indeed relatively weak.
"Hey." After Chen Ji and Xun Shuang looked at each other, they both let out a long sigh. This is really not because their families are weak, but because their big bosses are always doing other things.
"I really can't deal with the Yuan family. I think the Yuan family in Chen County is pretty big now." Xun Shuang suddenly changed the subject.
"It's quite tragic. After my family was divided, we never suppressed the direct descendants. The Yuan family of Runan always teased the Yuan family of Chen County." Chen Ji touched his chin and said with some confusion. Although family separations are rare, But it's not uncommon, but it's also rare for people like Yuan from Runan to tease their hometown.
"Speaking of which, how do you manage so many barbarians in the Yuan family?" Sima Jun glanced at Yuan Da, who was still talking loudly, and felt a little jealous for some reason.
"A barbarian who has no writing, uses stone tools, and can't even farm, so he relies on hunting." Xun Shuang was silent for a while and slowly spoke.
"..." Both Chen Ji and Sima Jun fell into silence. Finally, Sima Jun said with emotion, "It should be said that the Runan Yuan family is very happy, right? They can actually pick up such a barbarian who is almost a blank slate." , in two generations, at most two generations, they will probably become themselves completely. Speaking of which, what is the quality of this barbarian?"
Both Sima Jun and Chen Ji have a good understanding of education. The most difficult barbarians to naturalize are those who already have the prototype of their own civilization, and even have their own writing and beliefs. In short, the barbarians already have their own A unique cultural centripetal force of its own.
This kind of barbarian is very difficult for big guys like Sima Jun and Chen Ji to deal with. They can only choose to beat them half to death first, and then let the other party naturally yearn for them before they can be educated. Moreover, there will inevitably be some smart barbarians among them who are cautious. Absorb the essence of Han Dynasty culture, strengthen itself, and expand its own culture.
The reason why the Xiongnu is so difficult to deal with is because the Xiongnu itself also has a certain centripetal force, and the concept of Hu was originally a very powerful racial term like the Han.
Although the old Shan Yu died, and the Hu people behind this character did not inherit well, and were directly kicked into the abyss after a burst of damage by Emperor Wu, it is undeniable that the Xiongnu at that time did have a centripetal force that ordinary fish did not have because of their strength.
On the other hand, the easiest barbarians to deal with are actually the kind of barbarians who have no culture, no ideas, and no faith. Such barbarians are just blank sheets of paper, and they can make the other party look like one of their own by just smearing on it.
There were no such barbarians around the Han Dynasty for a long time. There were still some in the early years, but because they were easily absorbed, they were naturally integrated into the Chinese system, so that they are now indistinguishable from each other.
