"Annexing an empire with a small force is far more difficult than we can imagine. Not to mention attacking Rome and eating it later. These things cannot be accomplished by the power of one generation, which is why I have asked you to pay attention to the affairs of good children. Don't wait for the eldest son Cao Ang to reign, but there are two foolish allies beside him, and it will be difficult to complete the great cause of the Han people. Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"An empire is an empire not only because of its strength, but also because of its heritage. It's a once-in-a-lifetime time when the remaining three of the four empires have their own internal problems, and two of them are on the verge of falling apart. At this time, if we don't make a move, we must hit the snake seven inches and kill it completely. Otherwise, if there is another character such as Han Wu and Guangwu among them, it will be difficult to say the outcome. ”

"Bottoming out, rebounding from the ashes, never underestimating the potential of an ancient civilization. No matter how weak and decayed the surface is, its heritage is still there, and once it is given a chance, it will be out of control. Their strength will grow rapidly in a way that will leave you stunned, growing into an incredible behemoth. Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

The soldiers are not more than fine, the generals are not brave but strategic, and the country is not big but strong, Cao Cao is convinced of this. In this era of cold weapons, any large number of troops and well-equipped troops are all false. At the peak of the Han Dynasty's national power, it was far stronger than the Qin State before the unification of the Six Kingdoms. Both population, money and food are several times that of the latter. However, if you can really put the armies of the strong men and the tyrannical Qin together, it is really difficult to say who will win.

Because the bloody nature of the violent Qin is rare in ancient times. What does it mean that all people are soldiers? Five million people and almost a million troops. Bring a random man and give him a knife, and he will dare to go up and kill the enemy. There is a helmet, but it is not used, because it affects the killing of the enemy and the merit. All men have one goal, and that is to kill the enemy. If you kill the enemy, you will get land, a mansion, a beautiful woman, and an official position. For ordinary people, making achievements on the battlefield is almost the only way to rise.

Shang Ying's reform and the military merit title system completely turned the Qin people into a vicious wolf eager for military merit, coupled with the Qin Shi Huang generation of male masters, Wang Qian, Meng Tian and other good generals, although the national strength is not strong, but the only national strength is exerted to the extreme, ordinary people only have rations that can barely survive, and everything else is supplied to the army. Even though hundreds of people starved to death, they did not use a single grain of food from the army's reserves.

Cao Cao never doubted the strength and heritage of Rome and Rest. An empire, even if it is not as long and deep-rooted as China, will definitely not be weak. If you can't kill them all at once, then it's better to maintain the status quo and gather strength for another day. Because no one can predict what will happen to you after you push the country into a hurry. Five chaotic China, the Han people suffered countless casualties, and almost perished. But as soon as the order to kill Hu came out, the world was immediately changed.

"Rome is a prosperous country and a strong army, and with our strength, we will swallow the rest, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture and control it in a short time. Brother Meng De, although what you said is reasonable, it is not realistic at all. To deal with such a big country, we can only encroach step by step. Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"If there is civil strife in Rome, what if Da Chu and the family help us? As long as the army is strong and unstoppable, and with the help of the Great Chu Navy, it is enough to basically control Rome within a few years and completely put down the rebellion. Cao Cao smiled.

He came to Jinling before Liu Bei, and he had been entangled with Yuan Shu for a long time, so he naturally knew many secrets that Liu Bei didn't know. Of course, these were also intentionally revealed by Yuan Shu, and naturally he didn't care that Liu Bei would know.

"It's easy to ask God to send God, let the family and Da Chu help me and wait, then it will be a victory, I'm afraid this Rome doesn't belong to me." Liu Bei shook his head and said.

"Great Chu is too far away to compete with us, at most it is to ask for some benefits or in exchange for some neighboring territory in Central Asia. And the family, when the time comes, it will depend on the ability of you and my juniors. Cao Cao said.

Whether it was Cao Cao or Liu Bei, they didn't consider whether the family or Da Chu would come to help with this matter. Because the name of the people of this era is Han, and they all reveal nobility and self-confidence in their bones. No matter how the internal struggle is, unless it is in the realm of life and death, the fight against the alien race will always come first, otherwise not to mention the soldiers of the people under his command, even the civil and military generals will also deviate from morality.

And now, I know that the world is so vast, and there are so many territories for you to grab. Many external enemies have not yet been resolved, and there are not too many internal contradictions, how can he think. When it comes to fighting, it is human instinct for one's family to unite first to beat outsiders away, and then to solve it internally.

"Although the Second Emperor Huan Ling has a loss of virtue, the Han Dynasty has been rooted here for hundreds of years, and I am really unwilling to move to other sides like this." Liu Bei clasped his hands.

"For example, the people today are all focused on Chu, especially the four southern states, only know that there is Chu but do not know that there is Han. Han has lost the hearts of the people and is irretrievable, why are you so persistent. Isn't it also a blessing to expand the territory of our Han people in the West and recreate a grand hegemony! Cao Cao sighed lightly.

Compared with Liu Bei, he is too free. Since you have failed, you don't have to dwell too much on it, regretting the past rather than looking forward to the future. Now he doesn't have to do vicious things, nor does he have to dwell on the affairs of the Han family, but is more relaxed and open-minded. The dream of the former general Zhengxi is still waiting for him to realize, and a new grand hegemony is also waiting for him to create.

"Hundreds of years of business here, how can you say that you can let go? Although Han died, Chu also had a day of destruction. If the descendants of Yuan Highway are not virtuous, my descendants will one day lead a large army to kill back. Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Even though Yuan Highway has opened up a new world for us, let us understand the vastness of this world. But no matter how big the world is, it can only accommodate the next supreme position. Nowadays, due to insufficient conditions, it is impossible to put the whole world in the hands of one country or one person. But one day, the world will be united. At that time, it may be the day when your descendants and my descendants can return to the Han land. Cao Cao smiled.

His vision is beyond ordinary imagination. From Yuan Highway Zhi's ambition in Guishuang, he found a problem. With the construction and improvement of roads in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, as well as the popularization and invention of many means of transportation, the speed of sending troops and the speed of information transmission are constantly improving, which makes it possible for Yuan Highway to annex Guishan.

There are limits to these roads and horse speeds, but who knows what will happen in the future? The group of madmen of the Mo family also invented some kind of steam balls some time ago, and they might one day drum out the birds of their ancestors. In the future, it may become the norm for huge wooden birds in the sky to carry troops.

"Even if you want to fight back, I'm afraid it will be hundreds of years later. However, our first task is to destroy the remaining three empires of the present day and replace them in order to prevent future troubles. Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous if he and we continued to fight among themselves, but let these barbarians stand on the heads of our Han people? ”

"Rome is dead, and there may still be Zhang Ma and Li Ma to build on its corpse, and if we want to stand at the top, we must firmly trample these empires under our feet, so that they will never have a chance to turn over. One day, there will only be one nation left in this world, named Han. ”
