Chapter 137: Playing with the Hammer
"Sam Han? How did you run up there? Chen Xiaochu remembered what Zhao Ruyan had said, the Sanhan people were actually the most widely distributed existence on the continent at the beginning, and he suddenly felt speechless, there was actually a water village of the Sanhan people on such a small island.

"Maybe I can use their power to achieve my ends." Chen Xiaochu touched his chin and pondered, imagining this possibility.
"Don't forget, now they are still in a hostile relationship with us, the Sanhan people relied on the Greeks as the backing, and unscrupulously attacked other civilizations around them, but they wanted to completely destroy us, if it wasn't for the alliance leader to turn the overall situation around and sign an alliance with the Romans, the situation in the western region would not be what it is now." Miao Jialin recalled the difficult situation at the beginning and said with a hint of hatred.
"Although it is an enemy, from the fact that the other party is so desperate to take Izumo City, I see the possibility of negotiating." Chen Xiaochu had a preliminary idea in his mind.
"If you have to do it, then negotiate in the name of a private person, not in the name of representing Huaxia, that will only cause misunderstanding on the other side." Miao Jialin did not object to Chen Xiaochu doing this, but only restrained the name, which made Chen Xiaochu feel a little surprised.
As if mentioning something to the Romans, Miao Jialin continued: "Anne wrote to the alliance leader, wanting Huaxia to send an army to attack the plain county town of the Sanhan people with her, originally I was going to let you go, after all, this is the alliance that the alliance leader said to maintain, and let you go, you can dispel the northern strategic plan that the Romans are preparing to carry out." ”
"The Romans' strategic plan for the north?" When Chen Xiaochu heard this, he remembered Belisarius, so frequent in the coastal corridor was indeed the meaning of preparing to include the western coast, "Anne is so powerful, in the face of the Sanhans, do you also need to ask Huaxia for reinforcements?" ”
Immediately, Chen Xiaochu thought that Anne's opponents were not only the Sanhans, but also the Greeks, the Vikings, and even Anne had let Belisarius step into the northern wasteland, which was enough to show that Anne had not used all her strength.
Farming is different from nomadism, and the social relations of the Romans are very special, the army dominated by free people, supplemented by the hired foreigners or forced slave army, in the face of a crisis, all the people can be soldiers, every free man is educated to have the responsibility of defending the country, and is to bring their own weapons, at any time to listen to the call, the real rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, once Anne uses all her strength, every adult man in the settlement can become a Roman soldier.
Unlike Anne, in every battle, Chen Xiaochu did not let all the manpower in the settlement tilt towards the war, but kept their original social relations, and in a place like Sujia Town, if all the people were soldiers and trained, the commercial town would immediately disappear without a trace, and lose other economic advantages that should have been there, which could not be learned from the Romans.
The seeds of other civilizations move thousands of people to fight, in fact, this is a practice of emptying out the manpower of the settlement, once there is damage, it will cause a large number of original families to be broken and reduce population growth, Chen Xiaochu has always believed that this is the time of life and death, the power that will be used, so he did not imitate Wu Fan and Wei Chen's practice, so that all the people develop in the direction of all the people are soldiers, but let them organize defensive local militia groups, so that not only the speed of land reclamation is higher than that of others, The speed of building towns is also extremely amazing, and the disadvantage is that the militia has no formal training and no combat effectiveness, let alone follow Chen Xiaochu on an expedition.
"Choosing to help Anne can get the Romans' tacit approval of their occupation of the coastal corridor, but such an outcome is not what they ultimately pursue." Chen Xiaochu looked at Miao Jialin and said: "The Romans just want to use us to contain the power of the Sanhans, if I really send troops and go all out to capture the Pingyuan County, it will cause the relationship between Huaxia and the Romans to regress, after all, the core interests of our Huaxia are in the Great River Valley, and the alliance leader must not want to have problems with the Romans at this moment." ”
"Refused? That's a great benefit to you personally. Miao Jialin seemed to want to see through Chen Xiaochu, and said with some doubts, in the impression, Chen Xiaochu should choose to help Anne is the right choice, everyone who joins the alliance is looking for refuge as the ultimate goal, if the original threat to his existence gives a chance to reconcile, it should be seized quickly, and will not continue to sacrifice for others.
"I can give you the ship, and I will order my navy to help you, but don't think I'm doing it with good intentions, it's just my attempt at a possibility, after all, any loss is your problem alone, if you are completely annihilated, Huaxia's promise to Rome will continue, acquiescing to the Romans going north to occupy the coastal corridor and enter the wasteland, the difference is that we will relocate those people in your settlement." Miao Jialin looked at Chen Xiaochu and said,
"Don't say it so bluntly." Chen Xiaochu said with a smile, "I won't fail, since the Sanhan people dare to attack Cloud City, then they will definitely have the information of Izumo City in their hands, as long as they cooperate with them, the door to success will be opened to me immediately." ”
"I can't see that you are still a very optimistic person, so confident in the army under your command." Miao Jialin recalled the first time she saw Chen Xiaochu, with a hint of anxiety, and there was a kind of vigilance in her eyes when she looked at the seeds of other civilizations, but now Chen Xiaochu had a trace of confidence, and even the threat of the Romans was not as concerned as before.
"Are you going to do it now?" Miao Jialin asked directly.
"The sooner the better, I want to reach a consensus with the other side right away, and then act tonight." Chen Xiaochu saw that he had Miao Jialin's support, and responded with a smile.
Miao Jialin didn't have a trace of procrastination, and looked directly at one of the generals: "General Pei listens to orders." ”
"The end will be." A very young general who exuded a heroic spirit immediately knelt in front of Miao Jialin and arched his hand.
"From now on, all the navy will be under the command of this person, and you will also be on the side to assist temporarily, understand?" Miao Jialin pointed at Chen Xiaochu and said.
"The last general commands." The young general known as General Pei immediately got up, and then came to Chen Xiaochu's side, looking like he was waiting for an order.
"I didn't expect Miao Jialin to have such a young general under his command." Chen Xiaochu looked at the other party's appearance and was a little surprised, Yue Yun was already young enough, in front of Qin Lan, he was like a little brother next door, but when he arrived on the battlefield, he turned into a killing god in a second, I didn't know how powerful this person in front of him, who was younger than Yue Yun, would be.
"It's really a young talent, dare to ask the general's name." Chen Xiaochu asked with a slight smile, for young people, it is necessary to praise it, so that it is easy to cooperate, which is common in ancient and modern times.
"Back to this lord, the last general's name is Pei Yuanqing." Not humble or silent, Pei Yuanqing bowed slightly.
"Silver Hammer Taibao? Pei Yuanqing? Chen Xiaochu glanced at the other party's body, and indeed found that under the pale yellow robe, a pair of silver hammers were hidden.
"Do all the young players like to play with hammers?" Chen Xiaochu thought of Yue Yun's appearance wielding the double hammer, and thought with some evil taste.
