As for the remaining generals, they did not appear on this occasion and were still managing the legion. After Huangfu Song left, they followed the personnel arranged by the Yuan family to the camp in the west of the city. After eating and drinking, they went to Xiancheng the next day.
, Huangfusong’s many years of experience allow him to leave a certain amount of room for maneuver at any time.
When he entered the city, Xiahou Dun was very interested in the Pope, but seeing the Pope sometimes smiling sweetly when talking to Yuan Tan, he had already guessed the relationship between the two.
Therefore, even if he wanted to know how this damn girl practiced, Xiahou Dun could not do such a rude thing as going beyond his master's house to communicate with the other master's side room.
Yuan Tan did notice the looks in other people's eyes. In fact, he brought the Pope out for this matter. Although the old Yuan family can now gather a dozen refined internal energy detachments, the only one who can really control the situation is the Pope.
, this person is a real boundary-breaker.
However, even if Yuan Tan knew the thoughts of Xiahou Dun and others, he would not pay attention to their desire to communicate with the Pope. After all, the Pope was too cheerful. On the other hand, the Pope was really just a layer of Chinese skin.
Inside she is still a young girl who has not been educated by a noble family.
If they are sent to communicate, without Yuan Tan watching, who knows what kind of situation will happen, it is better to keep an eye on it, support the situation, and prove that the old Yuan family has not declined.
Of course, it would be even more grand if it were a man. Unfortunately, the Pope doesn't mind wearing men's clothes. The problem is that the Pope's appearance is guaranteed. He suddenly wore a prince's robe and looked like a queen, which made Yuan Tan really
Some are hard to bear to look at.
Naturally, the final result was that Yuan Tan openly exposed the Pope, and then took good care of it to prevent the Pope from causing trouble. As for further restrictions, forget about it.
At the banquet, Yuan Tan pulled out half of the warriors of the old Yuan family. For no other reason than force is the most attractive power of princes like them. Even Xiahou Dun saw six or seven refined warriors.
The muscles and lumps in the body feel a little cautious.
When Xun Chen and others sat down one by one, accompanied by the middle-level generals who had always been very luxurious in the old Yuan family, Xiahou Dun suddenly felt why others called Yuan Benchu a model for the world.
As expected, the remaining power of the tiger is still there. Even without that person, the Yuan family in Yuan Tan's hands still showed enough power to make the Central Plains look at him.
Huangfu Song was also observing silently. Unlike Xiahou Dun who could only see superficial things, Huangfu Song saw people and the foundation. If Xiahou Dun could only see these things present, Huangfu Song could already feel that Yuan
The momentum accumulated by the family.
Hidden Dragon in the Yuan is no joke. Even though it is based on barbarians, the military system and civil administration are still advancing smoothly. The Yuan family really has a lot to do, and even Huangfu Song has to admire it.
After the banquet, Yuan Tan directly took out the real Yuan family's territory to show his sincerity. Looking at the vast territory, even Huangfu Song fell silent. Compared to the major families who had already learned about it, they only had a rough understanding of it.
Huangfusong, looking at the vast map and the fertile soil marked with almost all plains, was so shocked that he was speechless.
"From east to west, we can't find more than five million square kilometers. The area is no less than that of the Han Dynasty. It is all plains. However, the weather is cold and farming can only be done one season a year." Yuan Tan pointed at the map with a pole.
He explained the location, and finally added, "The land is vast and the people are sparsely populated."
Huangfusong nodded silently. In such a vast plain, there are barely five million people including the people who migrated from the Yuan family. There is only one person per square kilometer. This is not sparse anymore.
"All kinds of minerals are available, including copper ore, iron ore, gold ore, silver ore, and some gemstones." Yuan Tan made no concealment in this regard.
"If that's the case, we only need to hide to the east of the Ural Mountains and just sit and watch Rome. They won't be able to get through at all." After Huangfu Song gestured with the scale a few times, he slowly said, Rome is about 100 meters away from Sizhao City.
Too far too far.
Similarly, the Han Dynasty was too far away from Sizhao City. This location might really lead to the rise of a hegemony. For both parties, the Yuan family was too far away. This was the basis for building high walls and accumulating grain.
"This was also our initial countermeasure, but due to some other reasons, we had to abandon this plan." Xun Chen stood up and began to explain, "On the one hand, it is the value of Eastern Europe itself, and on the other hand, Rome exists to rule Eastern Europe and suppress it.
General, please look here at the capabilities of the Han Dynasty’s barriers in Central Asia.”
Xun Chen pointed at the map. Huangfu Song stared at it for a long time, and finally determined that there were two tributaries there. Then he stared at the two tributaries to find the main stream. Huangfu Song's expression changed instantly. The Don River leads to the Black Sea.
The Volga River leads to the Caspian Sea.
"About a hundred kilometers?" Huangfusong asked cautiously.
"Yes, one hundred kilometers."
The interests of the sub-region are basically over.
Even if the relationship between the two sides is particularly good now, any eternal friendship between countries is all about interests. Even Huangfu Song is aware of this fact.
"How difficult is it to build the canal?" Huangfu Song asked after taking a breath.
"There is also a certain drop in the plain. The drop between the two rivers is about forty meters."
In the past 1,500 years, most countries did not have the ability to build this canal. However, unfortunately, both the Han Dynasty and Rome in this era had the ability to build this canal.
Huangfusong nodded silently. In terms of difficulty, this canal was not difficult for the Han Dynasty, because the drop of 100 kilometers and 40 meters was nothing compared to the 37 kilometers and 33 meters of the Pre-Qin Lingqu.
It was so difficult that even if the Han Dynasty needed it, they could build this canal very smoothly. They didn't even need trackers and had to build the canal as smooth as the Ling Canal.
No one in the entire Han Dynasty thought about whether Rome had this technology, because when the Han Dynasty considered Rome, they directly used themselves to judge others. It was almost what we could do, and the other party would almost certainly be able to do it.
In fact, Rome could really do it. Although it was very collapsed, the level of Roman mathematics was higher than that of the Han Dynasty. After Diophantus came out a few decades later, Roman mathematics began to advance at an almost explosive pace.
As for the same period, Rome also built canals, with an 85-kilometer-long aqueduct with a height of more than 30 meters. It was also around BC and the classical era was enough to be called a cheating empire. Unfortunately, Rome was also selected.
So if you really want to say it, it would be really difficult for Rome to build this canal for China Unicom. It was not as easy as the Han Dynasty. After all, the Han Dynasty really had templates and experience. Someone in their ancestors had built it and it was ten times more difficult than this.
The canal is twice as long as the Lingqu, 37 kilometers long, with a height of 33 meters!
By the way, the Ling Canal was built to be used by Qin Shihuang to transport troops, and it was really capable of transporting troops. Even if the troops could only be transported by small boats at a time, it could be placed in a tunnel with a total length of 100 kilometers and a height of 40 meters.
At this level, the Han Dynasty could probably build a canal big enough to bring in fifth-generation warships.
"So this has become a big problem. We can't let the Romans repair it." Xun Chen said matter-of-factly, "Even further, we can't let Rome discover this matter. Of course, when we become stronger in the future,
If we can bring the shipyard to the Caspian Sea and then take the initiative to build this canal, then the Mediterranean will become more than just a bathtub for the Romans."
Huangfu Song nodded and expressed his understanding. Seeing such a thing, of course he could understand its strategic significance. This canal must be built in the future, but the initiative must be in the hands of the Han Dynasty, not Rome.
On hand.
"I roughly understand the meaning of why you must stick to Eastern Europe." Huangfu Song nodded and said, if this canal fell into the hands of Rome, it would be equivalent to borrowing it from the sky for another five hundred years.
More importantly, the Han Dynasty as a whole will be put into a passive position.
"Yes, so our battlefield is forced to be arranged here."
There are even fewer people who can explore the entire continent bit by bit like this.
In fact, both Huangfu Song and Xun Chen knew that the possibility of the Romans discovering this fact was very small, but as long as there was such a possibility, they did not dare to bet on what Severus could do for the chance of the empire continuing to live for hundreds of years.
They all know how much money they have to fight with.
"I understand." Huangfusong doesn't like to go on an expedition, but some things are too much at stake, and he has to deal with them carefully. And this kind of calculation for the national destiny, even if it is a risky expedition, Huangfusong will agree,
After all, if the Romans were allowed to take advantage of this, Huangfu Song would probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in future generations.
"Thank you, General, for your understanding." Xun Chen bowed. This was the reason why they were frank with Huangfu Song. This was really not a matter for their Yuan family now. They really screwed up and asked Rome to build the canal.
Then I'm afraid they will all have to hang on the pillar of shame in the future.
"It's the way it should be." Huangfu Song is still reliable in big things. After learning the real reason, his desire to fight became three points stronger. After all, compared to the boring Li You who protects the Yuan family, for
Fighting for the empire is more motivational than fighting for China and its descendants for generations to come.
"But the Romans are already in trouble. I don't know what happened this year. They walked to the border of Eastern Europe and then returned." Xun Chen said awkwardly but politely, and Huangfu Song was stunned.
