Chapter 314: Two Great Empires (Part II)
"I didn't expect the Shen family to be so determined, so I underestimated them. After reading the information about the Shen family, Han Fei said with some emotion.
The Shen family's losses this time were too great, the main line was basically killed and injured, only a pair of young brothers and sisters were left, and the loss of property was even greater, and the Shen family's years of accumulation were almost ruined.
And all this is for the safety of the Central Plains, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine why the Shen family did this, I have to say that the inherent cultural inheritance of China is deeply ingrained in the hearts of some people.
After reading it, Gai Nie couldn't help but sigh for the sacrifice of the Shen family.
"The Roman Empire can have a vast territory, and their emperor is known for being shrewd, why does such an emperor insist on taking the Central Plains, with the distance between us and them, even if Rome is ten times stronger, it is impossible to take the Central Plains. Compared to Gai Nie and Han Fei, Wei Zhuang didn't care about the sacrifice of the Shen family, he had been paying attention to the information of the Roman Empire from the Shen family.
"Such an expedition does not look like the work of a wise emperor. Gai Nie was also very puzzled.
Everyone in the study is familiar with the art of war, and they all understand that at such a distance, even if the Central Plains is now scattered, Rome will not want to conquer the Central Plains, and at such a distance, there is no way to maintain logistics.
Even if Ye Wuji makes a non-stop move, it can't guarantee enough logistics at such a distance, let alone this world, even in the war of the ninjas in the Naruto world, when the sealing scroll can be used in large quantities, the route of logistics is equally important.
Otherwise, why bother with the battle of Kamino Kunqiao, it is not to cut off the supply route of Iwa Shinobi.
In the case of the Roman Empire, unless they have a large space to store enough logistical supplies, once the war stalemates for a period of time, the Roman Empire will collapse without a fight due to logistical problems.
"Maybe they were thinking about replenishing supplies from the Huns. Han Fei thought for a while and spoke.
"With the spies they arranged, they can't take the Xiongnu at all, if the Xiongnu are not destroyed by us, Rome must not even be able to conquer the Xiongnu, let alone face the Central Plains. "I have to say that this era has a natural sense of superiority over the Xiongnu and the Central Plains, which is far from being comparable to later dynasties.
For the Xiongnu, all countries regard it as a disease of ringworm and scabies, which is not a big trouble, but it is annoying.
But this is also normal, the so-called foreign tribes, in the face of the war in the Central Plains in this era, are more losses and fewer wins, even if it is a role like Yan Yi, in the war against the Xiongnu, they all win more and lose less.
This sense of superiority from the bones made the Central Plains people feel superior to others in the face of the Xiongnu, and the same combat power is also superior, and the reason why those ethnic minorities in later generations lost more and won less was rooted in this sense of superiority being consumed by Confucianism.
It was not until the time of Taizu that this sense of superiority was re-energized, and many people may be talking about the various shortcomings of Huaxia, but they also have to admit that Huaxia is gradually getting stronger, although there are some other reasons for this strengthening.
Many people in later generations said that China's various policies were insufficient, but they did not expect that China has the world's largest population, but it is also one of the safest countries in the world.
In Huaxia, you don't have to worry about getting shot on the street one day, of course, this is for ordinary people.
"Maybe their Emperor Majesty, like our Majesty, has super strength, and in the information they got from the Roman captives before, they all said that their current emperor is extremely powerful, and in combination with the information provided by the Shen family, since this Roman emperor came to the throne, the Roman Empire has expanded greatly, and many remote areas have been conquered by him.
If this majesty is personally involved, and he has the same strength as our majesty, then everything can be explained. Wei Zhuang said suddenly.
If there is no night Wuji to show his strength in the front, Wei Zhuang will not think about this aspect, generally describing the emperor as extremely powerful, does not mean that the emperor is extremely strong, just like Ying Zheng, although Ying Zheng's strength is very strong, but in addition to being a proton in Zhao State, Ying Zheng personally changed hands, and then he did not personally fight the enemy, at most he only practiced with Gai Nie.
"It's possible, if there is such strength, it can explain why they have the confidence to conquer the Huns, including the Central Plains, but according to the existing information, including the intelligence from the Shen family, there is no aspect that this emperor has far more strength than others, if it is really up to him, it is impossible not to send out a little information until now, there is a huge crater in the Yinshan grassland, and it is rumored that the Huns are angry with the heavens, so they will be punished, of course, this is because they invaded the Central Plains。 Han Fei said with a smile.
The holy land of the Xiongnu was attacked by a meteorite, and it had already spread throughout the Central Plains, and those who were qualified to know about it were all sighing, Meng Tian's life was really good, if there was no meteorite attack, it would not be so simple for Meng Tian to completely destroy the Xiongnu.
In fact, even now the Xiongnu have not been completely destroyed, except for a small number of people who fled farther away, many tribes even surrendered to Great Qin.
After such rumors spread, Han Fei and others also took advantage of this to spread a lot of rumors, which were beneficial to the empire.
Regarding the strength that Ye Wuji has, although there are many people who know it so far, they are all core figures, and there is not the slightest rumor outside.
Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang and the others didn't ask how Ye Wuji summoned the meteorite, they were all smart people, and they would definitely not do such an unwise thing.
Han Fei's words are also where Wei Zhuang is confused, with such a strong strength, if he really wants to make a move, the damage caused will definitely not be invisible, Rome has expanded for so many years, and no clues have been revealed, it is obviously unlikely.
"I heard you say this, when Rome appeared, I was going to see it, maybe there will be something powerful, but invisible. Ye Wuji shook his head as he spoke, he didn't believe such a statement.
"Although it is unlikely, Your Majesty still has to be prepared, and when the time comes, you may really want Your Majesty to deal with their Emperor Majesty. Ganie spoke.
"Don't worry, no matter what kind of strength the other party has, I won't lose. Ye Wuji said confidently, unless he met a legendary character, this is what Ye Wuji added in his heart.
When he returned to Xianyang Palace from Wadao, Ye Wuji retreated for another month before re-exiting, and during this month, Ye Wuji had been studying the Tao Te Ching.
It is worthy of the Tao Te Ching, every time I read it again, Ye Wuji has a different feeling, but unfortunately this perception can only be understood but not spoken.
If it weren't for Flame Lingji, Shi Lan, and Shao Siming all having their own inheritances, Ye Wuji would have wanted to hand them over the Tao Te Ching, and it was at that time that Ye Wuji knew that the inheritance of Flame Lingji, Shi Lan, Shao Siming and others was not simple.
Flame Spirit Ji is directly the inheritance of Chi You's witchcraft, Shi Lan is similar to Flame Spirit Ji, but he is the inheritance of the Yellow Emperor, and Shao Si Ming's inheritance is directly from the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Although theoretically the Tao Te Ching is higher than their inheritance, their inheritance is more suitable for them, but it is a pity that this world is suppressed, otherwise theoretically, the future of the Flame Spirit Ji is also unlimited.
"Okay, let's talk about the matter of Rome first, according to the time speculation, their large army appears in our sight, at least a year, let's still discuss the current situation of the empire, after the last war, the anti-Qin forces have shrunk, can they dominate the world. Han Fei said suddenly.
"With the current strength of the empire, most of the lost territory can be subdued. Ganie also spoke.
"First slowly subdued, and after a city has been stabilized, it is necessary to ensure that the recovered city exercises the laws and policies of the empire, and only in this way can long-term peace and stability be guaranteed. Ye Wuji said.
Although Ye Wuji didn't want to take back the lost land now, but Han Fei and Gai Nie both said it, and he couldn't refute it, if he said that if he didn't take back the lost land, he had to give Gai Nie, Han Fei a convincing excuse, obviously, now Ye Wuji has no such excuse, and Gai Nie and Han Fei's intention is also simple, that is, to try to dominate the world and face foreign enemies as much as possible before the appearance of the Roman Empire.
The Roman Empire was able to have such a vast territory, and its strength was obviously not weak, since they were working on an expedition, they must have a lot of certainty, otherwise they would definitely not act.
"Brother Wei Zhuang, you said that the emperor of an empire is not in a hurry to subdue his own land, what will it be?" Xianyang City, Han Fei's new mansion, in the back garden, except for Zhang Liang, the original quicksand members gathered again.
Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, Purple Girl, Langyu, Bai Feng, Red Lotus.
"There's only one reason, and that's that he doesn't want to take it back. Wei Zhuang said lightly.
"Why don't you want to take it back. Red Lotus spoke.
"Yes, that's it, why?" Han Fei said.
"It's really strange that with the current situation of the empire, not to mention the recovery of the whole territory, most of them are still no problem. Bai Feng frowned and said, "It's a pity that I can't think of any reason for this?"
"Maybe it's for Meng Tian. The purple girl suddenly spoke.
"Oh, I wish I could hear it. The eyes of Han Fei and the others suddenly focused on the purple girl.
"I've been helping Parrot Ge with some intelligence work before, so I know a lot of things, and the 300,000 armor-piercing soldiers of the Wang family can be said to be the one who forced them to get to where they are now. After pouring a glass of wine for Han Fei and Wei Zhuang, the purple girl said slowly,
"With His Majesty's means, it was easy to subdue the Wang family at that time, but he didn't care, and let the Wang family come to this point, don't you think it's too strange, it's an army of 300,000 battle-hardened, an army of this size, he actually gave up like this, once this army betrays, the situation in Daqin is worrying, of course, now I understand why he doesn't care about the 300,000 army. Zi Nu said and shook her head, if it weren't for Wei Zhuang's confession, she wouldn't have believed that someone's strength was so strong.
"What does this have to do with Meng Tian. Lang Yu asked puzzled.
"It's very simple, just look at the policy he is implementing now, whether it is the first university of the empire, or the famous people living in the army, they declare only one slogan, that is, everything for the empire.
Now let's look at what the so-called hundred-battle armor-piercing soldiers are, the Wang family's hundred-battle armor-piercing soldiers, so what about Meng Tian, the golden fire cavalry of the Meng family, such a title, our majesty, must be very dissatisfied in his heart, but these people are all people who have made great contributions to the empire, even if he is His Majesty the emperor, he can't deal with them without a chance, but once they rebel, he has a justifiable excuse. ”
"This is just the Wang family's hundred-battle armor-piercing soldiers, the Meng family's golden fire cavalry, how he is going to deal with it, the Meng family is loyal to the empire. Bai Feng said puzzled.
"Rome, take advantage of the Roman Empire. Han Fei and Wei Zhuang spoke at the same time.
"What?" exclaimed Red Lotus.
"Here you come. Han Fei and Wei Zhuang glanced at each other, Han Fei stretched out his hand and motioned for Wei Zhuang to explain.
"If before Rome attacks, the empire is not unified, he has an excuse not to send reinforcements to support Meng Tian for the time being, think about it, an empire is attacking with all its strength, Meng Tian's golden fire cavalry as the vanguard force, it will definitely have to fight with them, no matter who wins or loses, there is no problem for him, even if Rome is really very strong and annihilates the golden fire cavalry, he can also turn the tide of the war with his strong strength, so that the two largest factions in the emperor's ** team will disappear. Wei Zhuang explained slowly.
"Isn't this too ruthless, that's 300,000 lives. Lang Yu said in surprise.
"With the lives of 300,000 people, in exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the empire, it is really him, quietly arranged such a situation, no wonder when those people rebelled, he did not use the golden fire cavalry to quell the chaos, everything was for the future. Han Fei said with emotion.
To tell the truth, many people are puzzled that Ye Wuji did not use the Golden Fire Cavalry to quell the chaos, Rome's problem is just a pretense, it is not stupid, Rome's problem is serious, but it is all in the future, and once the Golden Fire Cavalry is used, the world can be pacified in a short time.
If he made a personal move and showed his strength, the so-called anti-Qin forces would definitely disappear overnight, even if it was Wang Ben, when he saw Ye Wuji's true strength, he would choose to surrender.
With the help of Wang Qian's exploits, Wang Ben surrendered, and at most he died, but the rest of the Wang clan could be saved.
But in the face of the anti-Qin forces, Ye Wuji only passively defended, and he didn't have the idea of taking action in person, and now it seems that Ye Wuji has been laying out for a long time.
"It's really worthy of him, who solved the two major hidden dangers of the empire in one fell swoop, and arranged it seamlessly. Wei Zhuang also sighed with emotion.
"Does he really think that far?" said Honglian suspiciously.
"Others may not be able to, but this one, it's hard to say. Han Fei said lightly.
In fact, they looked up to Ye Wuji, and also underestimated Ye Wuji, the reason why Ye Wuji did not recover the lost territory was for other purposes, but it was definitely to deal with the Wang family and the Meng family.
Ye Wuji is not a profound conspirator, and the reason why he has a plan for anti-Qin forces is also due to thousands of years of knowledge, rather than his own wisdom.
Just as he didn't have the idea of subduing the Wang family, not to get rid of the Wang family, but to go with the flow, if he didn't have any objection, he wouldn't deal with it at all.
The same is true for the Meng family.
Of course, now what Han Fei and others said is already in Ye Wuji's thoughts, thanks to the blessing of the Wang family's rebellion, some ministers also have a jealousy of the Meng family, which makes Ye Wuji remember.
