Chapter 244: A Battle for the Whole Country
Liu Zhen said to Xun Yu and Jia Xu worriedly: "Father Emperor Yu Guishan faced the million-dollar coalition army of Persia and Rome, although our army was numerous, it was far away from the country. With the strength of Persia and Rome, follow-up reinforcements can be endless, and it is very difficult for our army to help. I was very worried about my father. ”
Xun Yu said: "Those who are worried, logistics are also." Although Ziyang has been operating in the Western Regions for several years and has raised countless materials, now there are nearly one million troops, and the consumption is huge, and it may be difficult to support. With the war, the trade routes were blocked, and now the Western Regions has become a situation of sitting and eating nothing. Tianzhu has not been broken for a long time, and if it is too heavy, it may provoke a civil uprising. The only way to do this now is to allocate grain and grass materials from the country and send them to Guishan. ”
Jia Xu twisted his beard and said: "Wen Ruoke remembers how the emperor conquered the grassland? ”
Xun Yu's eyes lit up and said, "What does Mr. Wenhe mean?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Yes, Dawan, Kangju, Huathorn Zimo, Guishuang, and Tianzhu are all in hand, and their people like to plunder, if they are tempted to benefit, they can get millions of people." The Persian army confronted our army, the country was empty, and millions of young men broke into its country, and the outcome can be imagined. If Ardashir wants to withdraw his troops, our army can take advantage of the situation to attack him, and if he does not withdraw his troops, the internal turmoil will also be a certain defeat. ”
Liu Zhen said: "The west of Persia is Rome, the Roman Empire surrounds the Mediterranean, the population is larger than my Han Dynasty, millions of young and strong, if you enter Rome from Persia, I don't know how many people survive?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The Roman federations have been dissatisfied for a long time, Rome is in turmoil, and the federations must take the opportunity to seek self-reliance, so that Rome will fall apart and disappear." ”
Xun Yu said: "If there is no army coming, Rome may disintegrate, and if it falls into war, the federations may not be able to join together." ”
Jia Xu said: "Without the cooperation of the army, how can the young man easily enter the realm of Rome. ”
Liu Zhen said: "The Huns and Xianbei people are good at riding and shooting, can they be organized and follow the law of their father?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The prince's words made me suddenly. Zhang Hong's Qiang land has been stabilized, if he can gather millions of Qiang people from the west of the Green Mountains, hehe..."Jia Xu's eyes flashed, stroked his beard, and continued: "The Xiongnu and Xianbei Qingzhuang were led by well-reformed prisoners of war, straight out of Ile and Kangju, from the north into Huazhuzim, marched to the east coast of the Caspian Sea, and suddenly entered Persia, what would the result be? ”
Xun Yu said: "The road is long, how to solve the problem of food? ”
Jia Xu said: "We are only responsible for sending them out of the country, and when they go to a foreign land, let them find their own way to raise food and grass. ”
Liu Zhen said: "In this way, the pressure on my father is greatly reduced. I immediately flew to tell my father. ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "The prince also sent books to Zhang Hong and Jia Mu, so that they received the edict and prepared immediately." ”
Xun Yu said: "I also want to convey an edict to let the people know." ”
Liu Zhen hurriedly asked what the content was, and Xun Yu said: "The Western Regions have purchased grain and grass materials with a lot of money. When a businessman pursues profit, will he not be moved by the wind? In this way, it does not take the effort of the big man alone. ”
Jia Xu smiled: "Wen Ruo's words are very good. ”
The huge state apparatus in the Han Dynasty began to operate, and ordinary people still worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, without the slightest disturbance. Shrewd businessmen heard the news, bought grain and grass, and began to send it to the Western Regions in an endless stream.
Through Zhuge Ke's unremitting efforts, the fire oil has really been refined into a clear liquid. Zhuge Ke asked people to wrap gauze with a wooden stick, dip some of it, and put it on the fire, and with a "bang" sound, it burned violently.
Liu Ze had a great news, so Zhuge Ke gathered a large number of people, refining according to the law, if tens of thousands of barrels were refined in a short period of time, all the participants would be rewarded.
With the arrival of domestic soldiers and horses, Liu Ze convened his subordinates to discuss one after another, and preliminarily determined the strategic policy of the first step. Liu Ye went north to Mulu City, and the generals Xu Rong, Huo Jun, Zhou Tai, Man Chong, Zhang Yan, Li Dian, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu; Xun You went south to assist Zhang Liao, and his subordinates Cao Hong, Wen Ping, Cao Zhen, and Ling Tong. Liu Ze and Cao Cao were in the middle of the dispatch. In this way, the peerless generals gathered around the two, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Brothers, Cao Ren, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, Zhang He, as well as Le Jin, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei.
How could Ardar not know about the Han army's moves, and hurriedly adjusted the deployment and fought-for-tat.
In such a large-scale war, both sides are cautious, for fear that there will be a little loophole. It's like two fierce tigers facing each other, and after the occasional temptation, there is a fierce fight.
Thirty miles outside the city of Gaofu, more than 400,000 Persian and Roman allied troops were stationed, and Wei Yan was the chief general of Gaofu. On this day, Liu Ze and Cao Cao rushed over from Frusha. Wei Yan was overjoyed, knowing that the big war was imminent, and went out of the city with Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Zhang He to greet him.
After Liu Ze and Cao Cao entered the city, they said to the four of them: "Pick up 20,000 horses and test the enemy's movements." ”
Wei Yan hurriedly sent his own soldiers to gather men and horses, went out of the west city gate, and came to the enemy Dazhai. Directly opposite the west gate was the Roman Macedonian legion, the commander of which was Gilmetheus, with 50,000 horses. When Gilmetheus heard that the Han army had suddenly left the city, he had no time to inform his allies, so he personally led 30,000 men out of the village and waited in array in the wilderness.
The main arms of the Roman army were hoplites and cavalry, and the hoplites were equipped with throwing guns, short swords, large shields, and armor, which were equivalent to small tanks. The cavalry was equipped with armor, throwing spears, spears and shields, bows and arrows. The basic unit of the army is the corps, which has auxiliary units and mercenaries, and in addition to the corps commander, there are only centurions under the legion, commanding a centurion.
Liu Ze slowly came to the Macedonian legion, and saw that the opponent's hoplites were in the center, and the cavalry was lined up on both sides, and he couldn't help frowning.
The Romans admired force and loved bloody scenes, otherwise there would not be so many Colosseums in the country. The slaves of Rome fought with their flesh and blood, and their personal strength was absolutely to a certain height. Since you worship force, let's try it first and see who has the highest force. Liu Ze looked around and said, "Who dares to fight?" ”
Xu Huang had a violent temperament, and when he heard the purple horse, he shouted loudly: "The last general is willing to go." With that, he came to the Roman formation with an axe, galloping back and forth, showing off his might.
When Gilmetheus saw Xu Huang alone showing off his strength, he was in the middle of it and shouted, "Which one will meet this hateful Oriental?" ”
One of the centurions, two feet tall and full of blond hair, threw off his heavy armor and said loudly: "Your Excellency, General, I will go and meet this Oriental for a while." ”
Gilmitheus said: "Alekache, you don't have a war horse, how can you do it?" ”
Alekache roared angrily: "General, I can split the tiger and leopard with my hands, why not be afraid of an Oriental? There was no war horse, and the same killed him. With that, he raised his shield and took his short sword, and ran out.
Alekachet came to Xu Huang and screamed, his short sword striking his shield with a thud. Xu Huang's head was big for a while, what does this big guy mean? Are you doing a show yourself? How did Xu Huang know that Alekache was demonstrating against him. With this hand, when Alekasie fought with the beast, he took the beast first, first scared the beast into a panic, and then took it by surprise and launched an attack, often handy.
It's a pity that Alekache miscalculated, Xu Huang has never met any kind of person in his life, what do you say you are a stupid big man or something, Xu Huang picked up the board axe and slashed at Alekache. Alekache raised his shield and resisted Xu Huang's strength, only to hear a loud "bang", Alekache's body staggered, half of his body was numb, his face was purple, and he was red like a pig's liver. Looking at the shield again, the whole body is cracked, if it is not fixed by copper sheets, I am afraid that it would have been torn apart. Alekasie, who has always been conceited and brave, couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Huang didn't care about this, the axe slanted, and the bright axe blade swept towards Alekasei's small stomach with the sound of the wind.
Alekache reacted dissatisfied, the short sword in his hand met him, Xu Huang was full of momentum, how could the short sword block the heavy plate axe, this axe drove the short sword and slashed at Alekachee's small stomach. Although Alekache was spared the disaster of opening his stomach, he had a severe pain in his abdomen, and his stomach was overturned, and he couldn't help it, and with a "wow", he vomited out all his breakfast.
Xu Huang sneered, didn't use the axe blade, flipped the big axe, and smashed it at Alekasie's huge head. Alekachei threw away his short sword and held up his shield with both hands to block the axe. This time it was even worse, Alekasei's smashed arms curled up, the shield was attached to his scalp, and his head bore the brunt, only to hear a loud noise, a slight "pop" sound, Alekache's head was fine, but his neck was broken. Alekachei's huge body fell to the ground.
Up and down the Macedonian army, which one didn't know the fierce Alekache, but he didn't expect that the generals of the Han army only used three moves, and Alekache went to see God. Suddenly, there was silence in front of the formation.
In the Han army, they had long been accustomed to killing the enemy in front of their own generals, and they reacted smoothly one by one.
Gilmetheus was stunned for a moment, reacted quickly, and said to the captain of the pro-soldier beside him, Ou Leigus: "You go to the battle, I don't believe it, war horse to war horse, the hateful Oriental will be our opponent?" ”
Ou Leigusi urged the war horse, raised the spear, and killed, without saying a word, and went straight to Xu Huang with a spear. The Romans belonged to the power type, and as the saying goes, one force will drop ten. This district of Rydos can be the captain of Gilmetheus's personal army, with big shoulders and a round waist, and a strong force, a spear, in his hand, like a giant holding a matchstick. The spear was extremely fast, and it pierced Xu Huang's neck, Xu Huang was on the side of the horse's body, and let go of the spear, Ou Lei's gun was old, his body leaned over, and he was crashing into Xu Huang's arms, so Xu Huang, his left hand reached out, and he was grabbing Ou Lei's belt. Xu Huang let out a loud shout, and suddenly exerted his strength, and the huge body of Ou Leigus broke away from the war horse and flew towards Xu Huang's rear.
The Roman soldiers didn't know why, and they thought that Ou Leigus had performed some clever tactics, and they all applauded loudly. Before the cheers were over, Xu Huang turned the war horse, the big axe was raised, and the head of the Ou Leigusi rolled out all the way, and the blood in the cavity spurted out, soaking a large piece of land.
