What era is it?

What are the great powers on Earth?

Liu Yan knew very well that it was the century A.D., and the powerful powers that he could know were not too impressive except for Rome and Sasani.

Rome has not yet split into Eastern and Western Rome, but in fact it has long been in the stage of partition and self-government. It was probably in 286 A.D. that Augustus Diocletian of Rome at that time, he divided Rome into two parts, and later divided the government into two, establishing the system of four emperors co-governance, and thus Rome began to have the concept of two parts, east and west.

In fact, no matter how the state system of Rome changed, the republican system, the parliamentary system, the Augustan system...... One thing that has not changed is that Rome has always been ruled by aristocratic families, each family has its own private fiefdom and private army, so in fact, Rome has been in a state of partial autonomy for a long time, but each family obeys the orders of Rome.

If you count it, the Roman system is actually the same as that of the Zhou royal family, and the difference is that the "co-masters" of the Romans are not unchanged.

The "co-master" of the Romans could be obtained through election or violence, but whoever became the "co-master" could not provoke all the nobles, and could only maintain the status quo of local autonomy. The rules formed over a long period of time have been fixed in the passage of time, because the "co-master" does not have the supreme power to kill and seize the princes, in fact, as long as the "co-master" does not provoke the princes, the princes are simply too lazy to care who will be the "co-master".

One thing that must be explained is that the name of Rome has always existed, but the "co-master" of Rome has never been continued by a family based on blood, and they will also have a change of the ruling family, so there will be a change of "dynasty", but it has not changed the name of Rome. So, it's not wrong that Rome is a thousand-year empire, but it's not a thousand-year dynasty.

Liu Yan vaguely remembered something, the current stage of Rome was a time of frequent changes of rulers.

Around the time of the collapse of the Eastern Han Empire, Rome was actually in turmoil. Severus continued to expand his army, and also continued to raise the status and pay of his soldiers, in order to put an end to the Resting Empire (Parthia).

Rome is indeed in Alexandria. During the reign of Severus, the hundred-year-old enemy of the Resting Empire was defeated, and the fall of the Resting Empire left Rome ...... At least the Roman army robbed a lot of money, but the Romans could not occupy the land after destroying the Rest Empire, they robbed after destroying the Sabbath Empire, and withdrew when they had enough.

For Rome, the Sabbatical Empire, which had fought each other for more than a hundred years, was gone, Alexander. Severus also became an incomparably great Augustus, but the real problem arose with the fall of the Empire of Sabbath.

Alexander. Severus ruled Rome for thirteen years, and before he died, he tried to suppress the military he had cultivated, but because the Roman system did not mean that the ruler could suppress whoever he wanted, the military could not be suppressed until his death, which gave Rome the inducement to fall into turmoil.

Alexander. After Severus's death, Augustus, who was reinstated, had no problem with the army at all, and he could not take out enough wealth to continue to feed the army, as a result, the military began to riot, and there was a period of 33 years of officer rule, and in a short period of 33 years, the ruler of Rome changed eleven times, and it was the Illyrian dynasty to end the military rebellion, but the rule of the Illyrian dynasty lasted for sixteen years, and Rome during the reign of the Illyrian dynasty did not end the chaos and turmoil at all.

Almost as the Central Plains entered the period of the Three Kingdoms, Rome evolved into a political situation of four emperors after a long period of chaos and turmoil, and Diocletian was forced to engage in two partitions of Eastern Rome and Western Rome in desperation, which caused the formal division of Rome.

Therefore, it is very strange that the two dynasties that are so far apart entered the end of the period at the same time, and entered the split situation at the same time period, waiting for the Sima family to officially usurp the throne and establish the country and then go to the collapse of the Western Jin Dynasty...... Anyway, it was collectively called barbarians by the Romans, and it was constantly invaded by the barbarians that led to a change in the ruling family of Rome.

[Who is the current Roman emperor?] Liu Yan is now on the west bank of the mound water, and he is looking ahead, because there is no urgent matter that can still be recalled: [No matter who it is, Rome will soon face the training of the 'Whip of God'. 】

The so-called "whip of God" is, of course, the Huns who were defeated by the Han Empire and fled far away. In fact, these Huns did not go directly to the west after fleeing, they were entrenched in the Western Regions first, and then regained their strength for a while, so that Chen Tang "held the banner of the Marquis and beheaded the head of the Zhi Branch", and only then did the phrase "although the strong man is far away, he will be punished".

The Western Xiongnu fled westward in panic after the war with the Han Empire, first staying in the northern border between the Kushan Empire and the Anshan Empire, and once accepting the employment of the Anshan Empire to participate in the war against the Romans, and also constantly fighting each other with the Kushan Empire established by the Dayue clan among their neighbors for more than a hundred years.

The Western Xiongnu stayed in the Caspian Sea region for a short time, and during the collapse of the Sabbath Empire, they also fished in troubled waters, but the Sabbath Empire was finished at that time, and the Romans could not take care of the Western Huns, but let the Western Huns live a comfortable period.

The Western Xiongnu migrated westward again during the outbreak of the war between the Kushan Empire and the Eastern Han Empire, and at that time the Kushan Empire did not know which tendon was pumped, first constantly invaded the Western Regions under the rule of the Eastern Han Empire, and then sent people to the Western Regions of the Eastern Han Empire to protect the palace, and asked to marry a princess of the Han Empire.

may be because of the translation error of the two knives, the Western Regions Protector Banchao, who was originally unusually unhappy with the constant invasion of the territory, immediately blew up his hair when he heard the Kushan Empire's request to marry the eldest princess, and asked for more troops in the country without getting consent, so he recruited troops from the countries of the Western Regions as soon as he was ruthless, and he really led a group of rabble to defeat the nobles in the northern part of the Kushan, which can be said to not only defeat the Kushan Empire at once, but also the Western Huns, who had been cultivating and recuperating near the Caspian Sea, were also scared enough. Once again, the Western Xiongnu only heard the movement of the Han army and ran away directly.

The Western Xiongnu were scared away by the movements of the Han Empire, but the first unlucky ones were the Alan and the Xiangcai people, two ethnic groups that were basically still in the primitive period, were constantly invaded and robbed by the Western Xiongnu, and then they were destroyed by the Western Xiongnu who were extremely ruthless in a state of fear because they were going to pass by.

The Western Xiongnu, who wanted to be far away from the Han Empire, destroyed and annexed many tribes in the process of going west, in addition to the Alan and Amcai people, and then dealt with the Miu and Abbasg people, and even teased the country of Colchis and Iberia, until they collided with the huge tribal alliance of Sarmat.

The Sarmat as a people, also known as the Cypriots (in fact, the East Iranians), have long been the overlords of South Russia and the eastern Balkans, having existed since the third century BC, and their first rise was the extermination of the Scythians. At the time of the collision of the Western Huns, the Sarmats were actually at war with the Dakits established by the Dakyans, and on the other side were fighting with the Goths for territory near the Black Sea.

The Western Huns approached the Sarmatian territory at the right time, and they could be said to have encountered no fierce resistance at all, since the Sarmatians were fighting the Scythians and Goths. The Western Huns encountered a strong counterattack from the Sarmatians after the Sarmatians had defeated the Scythians.

At that time, a lot of strange things happened, and I don't know what the Goths promised the Finns, anyway, the Finns joined the war against the Sarmats on the side of the Goths, and some Slavs also went to join in the fun. The combined Goths and Finns attacked the Sarmats from the north, and the Western Huns did not know that the Sarmatians were fighting with the Gothic and Finnish forces in addition to themselves, and were even constantly being taken advantage of by the Slavs.

Of course, there is no such thing as the Slavs, they are actually primitive tribes living in what was then called Ugric and Samoyed.

The Sarmat people have been defeated in a state of hard work with two fists and four hands, and the Huns have always been in the encounter with the Goths and Finns, without any contact at all, and the result is that the Sarmati stood aside, and the same land became a battlefield between the Western Huns, the Goths, and the Finns.

Halfway through the battle, the Finns said they would not play, and returned to their homeland with their bedding and war captures, leaving the Goths, who felt they were awesome, to face the Western Huns alone.

The conflict between the Goths and the Western Huns lasted for a long time, from the second century to the fourth century AD, and it was not until the time of Attila and his father Munduk.

The Western Huns had actually grown stronger by this time, and they would definitely not be much weaker than the Maudun period when they were serious, because time had passed too long, and they did not have their own writing to record history, only a thing like a song was handed down, so that they knew that their ancestors originally lived in a grassland in the east, and fled west because of the defeat.

Because time has really passed too long, and no one knows whether those songs are true, this group of Huns who have integrated multiple nationalities have no idea of looking back to the east, and they don't even have the idea of continuing to expand westward, and some just live a good life that looks okay on their own.

[Why did the Huns invade Rome?] Liu Yan actually didn't know very well: [Anyway, they invaded, and they both hit France and Italy. 】

Why does Liu Yan think that Han can become the "owner" of the world island? It is because of the existence of those Huns who fled from the East to the West, since the Huns can kill all the way to France, there is no reason why the Han army can't do it!

[The collision ...... between the Xiongnu Empire and the Roman Empire] Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh: [Isn't it because of this incident that Western Rome was destroyed, and only Eastern Rome remained? If the Han army kills it, there will be no country left anyway. 】

It took hundreds of years for the Huns to arrive in Europe and Rome, and they took the land route.

Liu Yan doesn't just have the mainland road, so many fleets can't be wasted, but he needs to do a lot of things, such as needing to figure out whether the canal dug in ancient Egypt (Suez Ancient Canal) still exists, and if it doesn't exist, he has to fight the Sassanid Dynasty first.

[Hmm! Liu Yan thought about it and nodded: [In short, first remove the threats from the surrounding areas and carry out some internal affairs construction well. 】

In fact, the Han State had officially launched a war of annihilation against Murong Yan, which was to sweep away the enemy forces on the west bank of Qiushui in the early stage, and annihilated the enemy troops on the west bank of Qiushui in only six days or forced them to flee to the east bank of Qiushui.

At this moment, a large number of Han troops are gathered on the bank of Qiushui, and above the river section is a dense number of ships, some of which are constantly shooting arrows at Murong Yan's army on the east bank of Qiushui, and some of which are cooperating with the army to build a passage that can cross the river.

How to fight has a plan in advance, or is it the kind of corresponding plan that can be taken according to changes in any situation, Liu Yan's appearance on the battlefield does not mean that he needs to command in person, in addition to showing up to boost morale, it is to see with his own eyes how Murong Yanjun will respond.

Not only did the Youzhou side launch an offensive, but the Eastern Shogunate stationed in Goguryeo had also launched an invasion, and in the following period of time, the Praetorian Guards would also invade from the direction of the grassland, and Murong Yan needed to deal with attacks from three directions.

According to scouts and spies...... It also includes some people who feel that Murong Yanguo can't support the secret defection to the Han State, and a series of intelligence is gathered, and the Han State may not be able to get close to grasping the distribution of Murong Yanguo's troops, but it can still have a basic judgment.

The arrangement that Murong Yanguo has adopted now is obvious.

In the western battlefield (that is, the location of Liu Yan's personal expedition) arranged the most abundant troops, with Murong Ge as the commander, Liu Xiang as the long history, with a total strength of about 170,000, with Qiushui as the first line of defense, and behind there are Wuzhong, Junmi, Xu Wu and other cities, the most important is the Lingzhi City, and according to the mountains and rivers along the way to build passes and fortresses.

On the eastern battlefield (where Lu Tai was located), Murong Jun commanded 120,000 troops to march in person, but he had previously abandoned the territory except for Haoxuanwu County in Liaodong County, and did not build any defensive chains, using Shoushan as the military camp. Looking at the trend, Murong Jun didn't want to fight any defensive battle, but should have a field battle with the allied forces dominated by the Han army in the plains of the Daliangshui region?

In addition to the heavy troops stationed in the eastern and western capitals, the direction of the northwest near the grassland was handed over to Tuoba Shi Yijian.

The area where Tuoba Shiyi Jian was stationed was in Wuhou Qinshui (near modern Chifeng City), and Murong Jun did not give any military supplements, and it was the remnants of Tuoba Daiguo who stayed in this area. It can be seen that Murong Yanguo is guarding against possible invasions in the direction of the grassland, but he does not attach much importance to it...... Or in other words, it really can't be taken seriously.
