As for the current historical process of the "World Island", it is an era in which both the East and the West are caught in war.

During this period of history, the hegemon of the West was not Rome, but the Greek Union (also called the Republic) in the form of a union of city-states, Rome at this time was just a country on the Italian peninsula that showed its potential, and Rome needed to be truly expanded until the time of Pompey, and it was not until the era of the Big Three (60 BC) that Rome ushered in its glory.

Greece, a republic in the form of a union, has led the cultural development of the Western world because of its strong military power, and their culture is not only the top knowledge of the entire West, but also aspired to and imitated by various tribes and countries. In fact, this is also the case, just like the powerful Chinese civilization has been leading the civilizations of the East for more than 2,000 years, and the Chinese culture is the culture of various countries in East Asia. Greek culture has influenced the whole of Europa since the time of the Greeks' attack on Troy (about 1300-1190 BC), and even after the decline of Greece, it still influenced the Western world, such as the subsequent rise of Rome, which inherited or imitated Greek models in many cultures and institutions.

Because Greece is a united model, there are quite a lot of "state China" under it, such as Athens, Sparta, Macedonia, the three relatively famous countries, they are actually similar to the vassal states of the East, the difference is that Greece does not have a fixed "co-master" like the Zhou royal family.

Hira ↖ was at the top of the ruling class in the Senate model, and the members of the Senate were from various countries, and most of the senators were tribal leaders or kings of city-states, but they could also be held by some prestigious people. At the same time, in addition to the Senate, the ruling class of Greece also had a religious institution, which was the many shamans who worshipped the Olympic gods.

Legend has it that the Senate had the power to wage war against an enemy nation, but it was up to the shamans who worshipped the gods to go to war. If the shaman thinks that war cannot be started. Greece was also unable to complete the mobilization of troops to wage war, so whenever it wanted to start a war against an enemy country, it basically began with a bribe of the shaman, and the war would only begin after successfully bribing the shaman with wealth or beauty.

In Central Asia, with the rise of Darius I, the Persian Empire sought to expand in the direction of the Mediterranean, so it can be said that the war between the Persians and the Greeks began a long time ago, if it is to be traced back to 490 BC.

During this period, the war between the Persian Empire and the Greek alliance continued to be a tug-of-war, and the two sides fought for hundreds of years in the Mediterranean. Among them, the more famous are the Battle of Marathon, the Battle of Thermopay, and of course, the subsequent Macedonian king Alexander's crusade, that is, in Alexander's crusade, the Persian Empire once suffered an unprecedented defeat, and its Darius III was killed by his subordinates during the escape after the defeat, and the Persian Empire perished.

Alexander's Greek alliance was at its most glorious with the establishment of an empire across Eurasia, and at one point the Greek army even entered Indochina, but it was extremely uncomfortable in the jungle environment, and various diseases spread while the Greeks also encountered the state founded by the descendants of Ashoka. Slaughtered in an environment full of grass and trees, he had to stop invading the East.

King Alexander of Macedon ruled modern-day Iran after the fall of Persia, but his rule ended with Alexander's death. After Alexander's death, Greece paid no attention to the occupied territories in the East. Therefore, it also gave the Persians the opportunity to make a comeback, and in this historical process, a new dynasty of Persia began to write its own chapter in history, that is, the establishment of the Sabbatical Dynasty, so the Persian Empire also had the distinction between "ancient Persian Empire" and "Persian Empire". It is used to distinguish the difference between the ruling family before and after.

The Empire of Sabbath was founded in 247 BC by the founding monarch of Arsasse. The Sabbatical Empire was a multi-ethnic state, ruled by the Parthians. Therefore, it is also called the Parthian Empire. The ethnic group within it is very complex, mostly of Persian origin, but also of Mede, Sasian, and Scythian. In its heyday, the territory of the Sabbatical Empire stretched from the Euphrates River in the southeast of Asia Minor in the north to the Amu Darya River in the east.

In the current course of history, the scale of the war between the Resting Empire and Greece is actually much smaller than before, and the main enemy of the Resting Empire is from the region of Egypt, where the countries ruled by Ptolemy III are invading the Seleucid Empire, and the Seleucid Empire can be regarded as a protectorate (or alliance state) of the Resting Empire, and the Restocrat Empire under the rule of Arshak II is also a survival of internal and external troubles, which has to deal with both the Greeks and the domestic opposition. At the same time, it also had to endure the invasion from the Egyptian region, and for a time the ruling family of the Sabbath Empire was changing, and even encountered the Romans who expanded to the Mediterranean later, and the most fortunate thing was that the Seleucid Empire blocked a lot of threats to the Sabbath Empire because of its regional nature, and the Sabbatarian Empire was able to survive.

The Romans have gradually replaced Greece as the overlord of Europe and Rome, but Greece is still relatively thin and bigger than a horse. In addition, Rome's expansion is not currently expanding eastward, and Rome is currently facing the most dangerous enemy of its expansion in the Mediterranean, the Carthaginian Empire. Rome and Carthage are now mired in the second "Punic War", which is also the most dangerous moment in the rise of Rome in this historical period, because Carthage has a commander named Hannibal who is planning an unprecedented cross-sea battle, intending to land from Rome's weak position in the Spanish Peninsula, and teach Rome a hard lesson in the collapse of its defense forces in the west.

The empires of the Western continent and the Central Asian continent are competing with their opponents, that is, in the same historical process, the Qin Empire, which has just formed a unified situation in the East, has also fallen into an era of war, so in the known world, almost no country can live in peace, and it is completely unhappy.

In such a historical period of time, the demise of the Qin Empire became the background of the Eastern world, and the Western world also became the mainstream because of the continuous wars, which led to the bankruptcy of a large number of middle classes and the exile everywhere, and the West was carrying out historical changes around the Mediterranean, and a large number of Europa people fled to Central Asia, bringing too many chaotic factors to the countries in the Central Asian region, and as a result, various countries in Central Asia also fled in large numbers because of successive wars.

Strangely enough, the ethnic groups of Europa and Central Asia chose to flee in the direction of the East, so something extremely interesting happened. Those ethnic groups who fled to the East continued to inhabit the land of the Western Regions and established states one after another, so that many countries appeared in the small land of the Western Regions. These ethnic groups slowly left thirty-six kingdoms in the annexation, which later became the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions.

Of course, there is no existence of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and history has also changed because of the country under the rule of Lu Zhe sent troops outside the fortress, the most obvious is that the Xiongnu, who should have met those ethnic groups more than ten years later, encountered them in advance, and because it was during this historical time period, the Chinese civilization knew at least a hundred years in advance that a group of ethnic groups had migrated to the east, and even more so that they knew that in addition to the land under their feet. In fact, there are many countries in the distance, and those countries also have their own civilizations.

Many nouns rely on reading to translate literally, and the language barrier is limited to being able to know the literal translation of some names, as for what is happening in the distant world, unless it is linguistically able to communicate, otherwise there is no way to understand.

Now, the generals of the Han army who are fighting in the fortress, what do they value most? It's not about how many countries there are in the distant world, and what is happening in those countries. What they pay attention to is whether the new alien races will come together with the Xiongnu. Will the new alien race be an obstacle to the victory of the Han army over the Huns?

"It's strange, we can't communicate with those foreign languages, so how did the Huns communicate with those people?"

The person who asked this question was Shen Tujia, and as soon as he finished speaking, he found that he was being targeted by everyone in the tent. For Shen Tujia, who is still just a school captain. It was very stressful to be stared at by at least six lieutenant generals and more than a dozen partial generals and generals.

"Yes, the Huns should also have a language barrier with those people, how do they communicate?" Wang Ben was thinking.

Li Liang, who was subordinate to the Taiwei Bureau, had speculated on that aspect, saying: "There are many people on the grassland. Some of them are from the western grasslands, and the western grasslands are close to the western regions, and it should be because of this reason that they can communicate. ”

Meaning: The Hu people are complex, come from different regions, and they must come into contact with a lot of ethnic groups, and if they have contact, they must learn a variety of languages, and this ethnic group understands the language of that ethnic group, and they alternate one after another, although it is a bit cumbersome to carry out multi-level translation, but there is a bridge of communication.

"Didn't we subdue some Hu people?" Xu Zhi touched his chin: "Is it possible to learn from the methods of the Huns?" ”

No one can give an answer, but it is agreed that there is nothing wrong with common sense, and at the same time you have to try, you can't just watch the Huns try, and then they don't do anything, right?

Li Liang immediately said, "I'll leave this matter to me." ”

Several lieutenant generals alternated the eyes of the legion commanders, and they all bowed their heads in agreement.

The Taiwei Office of the Han State was actually the staff of later generations, and the chief of the general staff was Taiwei Sima Xin, and there were some Shangshu and squires under its establishment. The Taiwei Office is an organization that designates battle plans, and Shangshu can be regarded as the head of a certain department, and Shilang can be understood as the storage of a certain regional chief.

Li Liang is the squire of the Taiwei Agency, who is responsible for the intelligence support and operational plan of the Saihan Army, and it is appropriate for him to carry out intelligence matters.

To tell the truth, the generals of the Han army, who have always been limited to the "whole world", are actually a little confused when they come into contact with the "bigger world". It is also a matter of course, after all, in their cognition before, the Central Plains countries and the grassland Hu people were the ones they knew, and suddenly some people who migrated from distant regions appeared, and they also knew that there were many countries and ethnic groups in the distance, and it was not incomprehensible that it was difficult to adapt for a while.

Waiting for Li Liang to go out, Wang Ben asked with a wry smile: "Do you report to the center after learning about those alien races, or do you ......?" ”

Wang Ben's question stunned everyone. They don't know much about the new aliens, so what should they write when they report it? In addition, the goal of this campaign is very clear, that is, to annihilate the Hu army heading south, and what should be reported before it is found out how likely the new alien race is to unite with the Xiongnu and other Hu people?

Xu Zhi and Wei Han glanced at each other, and after reaching a tacit understanding, the two successively said that they should report to the center first, and then the center would reassess the battle, and what kind of strategic change should be made by the center, and before that, they would continue to make the strategic deployment previously formulated.

Xu Zhi's First Cavalry Corps and Wei Han's Fifth Cavalry Corps are currently the main forces of the Saihan Army, and their attitudes can naturally affect most of the Zhonglang generals.

"At present, the Hu people are divided into three parts, one part is the 130,000 horses united under the command of Touman, the other part is the nearly 40,000 horses united around Maodun, and the last part is the more than 16,000 horses and horses attached to the Han army." Xu Zhi simply stood up and walked to the side of the military map, his hand became a slap on the map, and then became an indicator and pointed a few positions: "Our intelligence shows that Touman's troops are near the source of the Yellow River, and the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses of Maodun are moving in the direction of the Hexi Corridor in a regular manner. ”

The 1st Cavalry Regiment was the first unit to participate in the battle, and its knowledge of this terrain was far clearer than that of the rest of the Legions, so the task of sending scouts to reconnoiter was always undertaken by the 1st Cavalry Corps.

Earlier, the map of the mountains and rivers of the Han army appeared rough, where there were slopes, water sources, which area was a desert, which area was a wetland, and so on some information was slowly marked in the back, so far many areas were temporarily named later, just like the saying that the Hexi Corridor came from Xu Zhi's mouth first.

The southwest of the Hexi Corridor is the plateau, and to the north is the desert Gobi, and the reason why this area is called the "corridor" is because the more active environment is a narrow strip of land, the length of which cannot be calculated, but the width is no more than 150 li. It seems that the environment of each section of the Hexi Corridor is different, from deserts to wetlands and even swamps. Therefore, the Han army was not too worried that the Hu people heading south would quietly disappear, but the established strategy did not seem to be so applicable, which is the current problem.

In such a complex area, it was already complicated enough, and with so many alien races, the generals who went out to fight in the fortress desperately needed strategic instructions from the center. (To be continued......)
