"I wonder if any of you remember the Otsuki clan?"

Gongsun Du looked around at everyone and asked.

Gongsun Duben saw that everyone was puzzled, thinking that no one knew, and was about to speak, Xun You suddenly said: "The big moon clan that the king said is the king of the Yue clan in the mouth of the Marquis of Dingyuan?" ”

"You can say yes, you can say no."

Gongsun Du nodded, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Gongda to have heard of the King of the Yue Clan, you must know that there should be very few records about this, and it is difficult to be known." ”

Xun You smiled and said: "When I was in the palace in the small yellow gate, I had the honor to read the books in the palace, because I had heard of it. ”

"I see!"

Gongsun Du was stunned, and then said: "The Dayue clan used to be nomadic in the western part of the Hexi Corridor, that is, in the area of Zhangye and Dunhuang. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains War continued for many years, and the Xiongnu sometimes went south, at this time, the Dayue clan became stronger and stronger, the Xiongnu felt threatened, Emperor Wen ascended the throne, and during the reign of Gao Hou, the army was broken. The Otsuki clan was defeated and was forced to move west. ”

"And this has become the beginning of the growth of the Otsuki clan."

"In the first year after Emperor Wen, the Xiongnu felt threatened, and united with Wusun to attack the Dayue clan again and break it!"

"The Otsuki clan moved west again, to the west of the Green Ridge. Since then, the Great Moon Clan has fought in the north and south, controlled a lot of places, and the power has become more and more powerful, and its leader has divided the Great Moon Clan into five divisions, each with a marquis to rule, one of them, Gui Shuang! ”

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the Kushan Department of Xihou Qiu once again unified the five tribes and established the Kushan Empire. After the establishment of Guishan, it expanded even more, and later even Kangju and Dawan were actually under its control. ”

"About the second year of Emperor Yongyuan, King Guishan asked for the princess of Dahan, but was rejected by Ban Dingyuan, who guarded the Western Regions. King Guishan was angry and raised an army, and led an army of 70,000 to attack with the deputy king, which was broken by the design of the Marquis of Dingyuan. Since then, the Great Moon Clan has paid tribute, but the Marquis of Dingyuan does not know the name of the King of Guishan, and only calls it the King of the Yue Clan. ”

"I want Gongda to know, that's because of this title, right?"

After speaking, Gongsun Du looked at Xun You.

Xun You nodded and said, "Not bad!" The minister had seen the record of the Yue Dynasty's tribute in the palace collection, and he guessed it. ”

"So, this Kushan is actually just a small tribe that developed?" Guo Jia suddenly interjected, with a lot of disbelief on his face.

"That's what I said!"

Gongsun Du shook his head and said: "But we must not underestimate this Kushan Empire, although the territory they control in the west is not as big as the Central Plains, but there are seven or eight states so big, and the strength can be described as good." ”

"How big is it?"

Xi Zhong said in shock: "If the king speaks like this, then if we accept the request of the Elite Peerless Country, won't we face such a big enemy as the entire Great Han?" ”

Cao Cao, Sun Ce, plus a Guishuang, there is really a big man!

"What? Are you afraid of this? Gongsun Du was not angry, and said with a smile.

Over the years, several people can be said to be very high-minded, how can they stand it when they hear this, and immediately replied in unison: "A little thief, not enough to worry about!" ”

At the end, Xun You sorted out his thoughts and said: "Although this is the case, if a large number of people are dragged by Guishuang, the time for the king to reorganize the mountains and rivers will be delayed. ”

The rest nodded in agreement.

Gongsun Du smiled again and said, "Have you forgotten that there is still a hole card under this king that has not been used?" ”

"Hole cards? What hole cards? ”

"A hint to you, it's north!"

"North?"

"Oh, I see! The king is clever! ”

For the compliments of his subordinates, Gongsun Du did not refuse, but "After talking about Guishan, let's talk about rest and Sasani!" ”

"These two are?"

Everyone was like a student listening to the class, looking at Gongsun Du with curiosity.

Gongsun Du felt that the old wet spirit was possessed, his body was upright, and he said with emotion——

"Rest in peace, also known as Parthia, has been a kingdom for more than four hundred years, and it is not weaker than the Han Dynasty. However, it is also very similar to the Han Dynasty, and now it is also in decline. ”

"There are many reasons for the decline of Rest, but one of them is the brutal internal politics that have led to the boiling of public resentment. The invasion of the more powerful Roman Empire was one of them. ”

"The invasion of the Roman Empire not only lost a lot of resting strength, but also brought smallpox (Du Niang is suspicious)! The Sabbatical Empire, which had almost no medical skills, suffered heavy losses and reduced large swaths of land to no man's land. And the Roman Empire, which was the initiator, was even more panicked. ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Du remembered that although the Roman Empire was at its most powerful, it was also because of this reason that the rule of the Roman emperor was very unstable, and now was the best time to destroy Rome.

Do you want to go on an expedition to Rome?

As soon as this thought came to him, Gongsun Du suppressed him. Before the Central Plains was unified, an expedition against Rome, which was extremely powerful at this time, was really a sacrifice!

Moreover, there are two empires in between, Kushan and Anxi, and they will not let the king's army go west.

Thinking a lot, but time was only a blink of an eye, Gongsun Du then continued: "Not to mention Rome, he is too far away from the Central Plains, and if he advances west day and night with cavalry, it will probably take several months. It is still said that rest in peace, rest in peace after the epidemic, the throne changes, and after several years of hard work, the rest and vitality gradually recover. ”

"At this time, the Roman Empire once again went east, and the rest of the rest was once again in the flames of war, which has not ceased to this day."

"It is said that at this time, the Kushan advanced westward, and the Roman attack on Anxi could destroy it in a battle, but the King of Kushan had dealt with Anxi for many years and knew that it was capable, so he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and in order to show that he had no idea of alliance with Rome, he simply raised troops to the east. The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, but they are small countries, and they are small lands, how can they resist these tiger and wolf armies. ”

"King Qiqi, when the minister asks, I don't know if I should say it?" Xi Zhong got up and asked.

"There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"What was the strength of the Roman Empire? From the words of the king, can you hear that the king's fear of Rome has surpassed that of the former Han? ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, you may be unfamiliar with the Roman Empire, but when it comes to another name, you will have some impressions, that is——"

"Great Qin!"

"Great Qin?"

Xun You and the others all exclaimed.

During the Yanxi period, a group of people dressed strangely, with hair colors and eyes completely different from those of the Central Plains, came to Luoyang and met Emperor Huan. At that time, it can be said that this matter was spread in the family, and everyone knew about it!

"So, you should know how good he is." Gongsun Du was very satisfied with the reactions of several people and made up his mind.

Xi Zhong restrained the shock on his face and said, "In this case, it is possible to stop the Roman Empire in peace?" If it is defeated, won't Guishan steal chickens and rice? ”

"Impossible!"

Gongsun Du shook his head and said categorically: "Although Rest is not as good as Rome, it is also much stronger than Kushan in the end, and it is difficult for the Roman Empire to destroy Rest!" It's almost impossible, so to speak! ”

"In those cases—"

Xi Zhong pondered for a moment, and then said: "In other words, it is very likely that the rest will be relieved!" Then if you don't take revenge on Rome, you will definitely have to pull a layer of skin off Kushan's body? ”

"That's what it should be!"

Gongsun Du nodded at first, then shook his head again: "But it won't be long before there will be civil strife, and then it will be replaced by another empire." ”

"This ......"

When everyone heard this, they didn't believe it, but seeing the determination on Gongsun Du's face and thinking of what had happened, they finally believed it.

The king is a god and mortal, everything is right! Oh, it's true!

"Shall we send people to Rest then, spread rumors, and help Rome destroy Rest?" Guo Jia said abruptly.

Gongsun Du was shocked by this proposal, if Rome annexed Anxi, then ......

I have to say that Gongsun Du was a little moved. Although it is said that the annexation of Anxi, Rome's strength will increase greatly, but too large a territory will also make the rule weak, especially in the periphery, maybe Rome will fall because of this!

Do you want to do it?

Gongsun Du thought for a while and said, "This matter is very important, and we will discuss it later!" ”

"Do as the king commands!"

Xun You and others responded.

"Newspaper~"

At this time, the palace guards came to report: "Chen Lin asks to see the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, the Qing official Shilang~"

"Quasi~"

"Chen Lin pays a visit to the king!"

"Excuse me, give me a seat!"

"King Xie!"

Chen Lin took his seat and arched his hand: "King Qiyu, as the king expected, the Western Regions suffered from the invasion of Guishan and suffered heavy losses. ”
