Chapter 959: Dilemma

The First Han-Hungarian War attracted the attention of countless people.

The collision between the Han court and the invincible Xiongnu. Both the surrounding small states and the other three major empires are extremely concerned.

The countries of the Western Regions and the small states surrounding the Northern Xiongnu were all anxious and panicked, and many were ready to change their courts at any time.

As a weak country, their own way of survival is to rely on the strong. Once the Northern Xiongnu or Great Chu were defeated, many of them would have to make other plans.

The purpose of the three empires to pay attention to this war is naturally to see the reality of the two countries, and also to find allies.

In the face of the continuous invasion of Rome, as well as internal and external troubles, Vologis V, as emperor, was already powerless at this time.

As if it were a predetermined fate, the situation facing the Anxi Empire now was almost the same as that of the Kushan at this time and the Han dynasty of the original era.

The internal royal family and the aristocracy were constantly fighting and killing each other, and the local aristocracy was also ready to move, and there was a state of falling apart. The defeat in the war with Rome not only led to a significant reduction in the prestige of Vologis V as an emperor, but also caused the treasury to be empty and the people's livelihood to wither.

The royal family of rest was an "alien people", and the local Persians were not entirely loyal to it. With the current situation, the country is naturally full of public grievances.

"Your Majesty, the results of the battle between the Han family and the Xiongnu are out." With a piece of information in his hands, Modidas stepped briskly into the palace.

"How?" Vologis V didn't care about Modidas's overstep at all, he directly took the information and opened it, and asked as he glanced at it.

"Undefeated and undefeated, the Han family and the Xiongnu fought a draw. But ......" Modidas stopped talking.

"The Huns can't win, right?"

Volodis V was not a stupid person to become an emperor who could rest in peace, and he knew very well what Modidas meant.

"Hmm." Modidas nodded slightly: "The Han family and the Huns, just as Rome and I rest in peace." Although the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty drew in this battle, the reason is needless to say, and His Majesty must know it. The Han family firmly occupies the initiative, and can attack and retreat. And the Xiongnu, although they seem to be strong and can stand side by side with the Han family, but in fact they are strong in the outside and have a shallow foundation, and they are afraid that they are not opponents at all. ”

Although it was an empire, it was mainly nomadic and somewhat similar to the Xiongnu, and was good at cavalry. However, compared with the Xiongnu, Anxi was much richer, and the advantages in population and wealth made Anxi enough to support armored cavalry in units of 10,000. After all, it is also a dignified empire that can fight with Rome in the early stage, and the strength of rest is still worth seeing.

"Although the Han-Hungarian War has little to do with my rest, there are many things we can learn from. Your Majesty, it's time for me to rest in peace. Modidas sighed.

Among the four empires, Anxi's comprehensive strength is even stronger than that of Guishan, ranking third. However, compared to the other three empires, the rest of the empire is indeed too loose within the empire, and the ruling system is like a tribal alliance, which makes it difficult for the rest to form a joint force. Especially in the context of such internal and external troubles, the shortcomings of this system are exposed.

The lack of control over his subordinates left Vologis V unable to move at all after losing his prestige, like a puppet.

There are also many loyal and capable men who can see the problem. Someone as loyal and sincere as Modidas dares to point it out directly.

"It's too big, let me think about it for a while." Hearing this, Vologis V slowly paced back and forth, but finally hesitated.

"Your Majesty, when it is decided, it will be decisive. If it is not resolved at this time, my rest will only get worse and worse, and I am afraid that the danger of overturning will not be far from in a few decades. Modidas said anxiously.

Due to epidemics and other reasons, Rome has easily slowed down its focus on rest and attack over the years. However, the rest situation did not get better, but worse. The contradictions in the country have become more and more acute, and the struggle has become more and more intense, and it has reached the point where it is difficult to get out of control.

Modidas is well aware that even if the foundation accumulated over hundreds of years of resting can last for a few more decades, if no changes are made, it is inevitable that he will be replaced.

Vologis V was not a bold monarch, and although the current rest was already contradictory, it was not yet time for it to be completely radicalized. If it is taken as Modidas suggests, it may turn the tide, but it may also be in danger of overturning.

Vologis V, who was already old, did not want to take risks, but only wanted to survive this period in peace and not leave a stain on himself. As for the deterioration of the situation, it is natural for future generations to bear the responsibility, and he is unwilling to take responsibility.

"We'll talk about it later."

Despite Modhidas's persuasions, Vologis V remained silent about change.

After some dissuasion, Modidas only felt exhausted and had to settle for the next best thing.

"Since Your Majesty is unwilling to change, the minister will not mention it much. But now that the Han family has intervened in the struggle in Central Asia, and the situation has changed, do I want to form an alliance with it in peace? ”

"Han Chamber?" Vologis V said in a complicated tone.

His mood is the same as that of the emperor of Guishan at the beginning, and he can be called a difficult brother.

Guishuang wanted to jump when he was almost at his peak, but was pressed to the ground by Ban Chao with one hand and rubbed. And Anxi also felt the strength of the Han family at the beginning, and almost all the powerful countries in Central Asia were abused by Ban Chao, and the most important thing is that there are not many Han soldiers in Ban Chao's hands, and they are basically borrowed from small countries and weak brigades.

After the defeat of the Xiongnu by the Han Dynasty, they opened up the Western Regions and made friends with Anxi. Anxi naturally wanted to show the strength of his country, and led 20,000 elite horsemen to meet the Han envoys.

As a result, it only left the Han envoy with a lot of strange things and weak evaluations.

There was no way, the opponent of the Han family at that time was the Northern Xiongnu who were at their peak. There are 100,000 iron horsemen at every turn, and the strength of rest is indeed not seen. A dignified empire has been evaluated as weak in the records of Han history.

Even if the current Northern Xiongnu are down, they don't dare to do it. On the one hand, it was because of the pressure of Rome, and on the other hand, it was also because of the fear of the Northern Xiongnu's combat power.

Wars cannot be won by a large number of soldiers. The current Northern Xiongnu, when it comes to the number of soldiers and horses and equipment, etc., are not worth mentioning at all in front of rest, and the poor jingle sounds.

But when it comes to fighting, there is really no certainty of victory. Both sides were mainly cavalry, and the tactics were relatively similar, and the ferocity of the Northern Xiongnu and the cavalry combat skills at the peak far exceeded rest. In the past small-scale friction between the two sides, Rest did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, which is why the two sides have been peaceful.

"Internal and external troubles are difficult to solve, and His Majesty can choose an ally between the Northern Xiongnu and Han families to help and solve the current predicament."
