"A million taels of gold?! You must be kidding! ”

Although Crassus was the richest man in Rome, he was good at business and collecting money, and even a lot of the equipment of his Roman legions was financed by him, so he was among the four giants. But Temujin asked him for a million taels of gold, and he couldn't get it. That's an astronomical amount.

One million taels of gold could raise a Roman legion of 100,000 men and last for a while, not including the spoils of war, otherwise it could last longer.

"According to the captured Roman soldiers, you are extremely good at collecting money, and you have aroused the resentment of many people in Rome. In the event of a fire, you take the opportunity to buy the surrounding houses at a low price, and then use your monopoly fire brigade to extinguish the fire, and by this dirty means, you buy thousands of houses in the city of Rome. If you sell your thousands of Roman houses......"

"No way, even if I sell all my houses, they are only worth 30,112 taels of gold, which is far from the 1 million taels of gold you demanded."

"He is worthy of being a Roman wealth collector, and the house alone is worth 30,000 taels of gold."

Temujin was satisfied with Crassus's answer. He needed a businessman.

For the nomadic tribes of Mobei, 30,000 taels of gold can be used to buy sophisticated weapons. The value that Crassus can create is no less than 30,000 taels of gold.

"I also heard that you have the ability to operate iron mines, and in the future, you will serve our Mongol Empire, and I will make you the head of ten thousand households, in charge of merchants, and raise gold, silver, copper and iron for me."

"What do you want so much metal for?"

"Build mounted cavalry and conquer the world!"

The Mongol cavalry and their legions of servants retreated northward like a black oppressive wave.

As the war drew to a close, the Mongols gave up on continuing their assault on the Mughal Empire, and Temujin realized that he could not surpass Chutian. In order to preserve their strength, the Mongol cavalry chose to accumulate strength and fight in the Overworld.

Temujin had the second-highest points of all civilizations and had achieved his goal.

The princes of the Mughal Empire looked at the departing Mongol cavalry in fear. If it weren't for the overwhelming size of the Mughal Empire, they might have been expelled from the battlefield by the Mongols.

"The Mongol Empire was strong, and the Han Empire bore the brunt. With the climate of the Indian peninsula, the Mongol cavalry was reluctant to enter the peninsula, so we did not have to worry about the Mongol cavalry dealing with us. Rather, the rise of the Mongol Empire is a good opportunity for us. The premise is that we unify ......"

The brahmins looked at the other Mughal princes.

This national war brought him a great shock.

The population of the Mughal Empire was almost identical to that of the Han Empire, but its performance was lackluster, far worse than that of the Han Empire, which the Brahmins attributed to the fact that the princes of the Mughal Empire were too scattered.

The Mughal Empire consisted of many princely states and was more complex than within the Han Empire.

A strong figure was needed to unify the Mughal Empire, at least formally, in order to advance into Central Asia.

In the Han Empire, Lao Qin, Ming Guan, Zhao Long and others were ready to return to the main world.

The Han army occupied two main cities and had already overfulfilled its mission. As for the situation of the fifth main city, Lao Qin, Ming Guan, Shuo Tang, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others did not know.

"I don't know if there is a special reward this time that can change my situation."

Liu Bei put his hopes on the reward of this national war.

If you are lucky enough, even the princes who are at the bottom of the queue may be able to obtain a military general who is enough to change the pattern of the main world.

Now Liu Bei only has one county left, but he still hasn't given up.

You can only count on the random recruitment order or treasure obtained in this national battle to change your fate.

"Speaking of Tang, your Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains, and when Chu Zimou returns to the main world, he will attack Yuzhou as soon as possible and completely occupy the Central Plains. At that time, his power will be infinitely close to Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu. ”

Zhao Long found Tang and discussed the matter of the main world dealing with Chu Tian.

It is said that Tang is located in Yuzhou, and Zhao Long is located in Jizhou, and they are directly threatened by Chutian's forces.

They had to join forces, because Chutian's territory had three states, and with just one state, they couldn't do anything.

"Huma, you're not joining us? Lost Jizhou, how to defend Jizhou? ”

Zhao Long looked at Huma.

Hu Ma said coldly: "The battle of Youzhou, defeated by your hands, there is nothing to say. ”

"At the beginning, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought in Guandu, and the princes from all walks of life were ready to move. If Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Ma Teng in Liangzhou, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou jointly raised troops to defeat Cao Cao, it was Cao Cao who failed in the battle of Guandu. ”

Zhao Long is promoting an unimaginable alliance.

Huma fell silent.

He has two commanders in his hands, Li Mu and Lian Po, as long as he is not calculated, the two legions of Li Mu and Lian Po will make the enemy fearful.

"You guys, maybe I can meddle."

Old Qin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he intervened.

"Let's find a place where no one is around, and let's negotiate."

Several princes took advantage of the free time of the national war to plot against the affairs of the main world.

Chutian owns Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, and its strength is even greater than that of Cao Cao, who owned four states before Guandu.

In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's territory was in a great war almost every year, and the population withered. Qingzhou and Yuzhou were sacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and Cao Cao and Lü Bu fought in Yanzhou, running out of food. Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou and Yuan Shu's battle, Xuzhou and Huainan were bloody.

On the contrary, after Yuan Shao repelled Gongsun Zan and the Black Mountain thieves, Jizhou was given the opportunity to recuperate, and the population was relatively abundant.

But now the situation is almost the opposite.

At this time, Jizhou was only five or six years away from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yuan Shao fought with Liu Bei in order to unify Jizhou, and the population of Jizhou decreased. There was also a war in Youzhou, which consumed countless grains and grass.

Chutian's Xuzhou has been war-free for quite some time, and it can be said that under the governance of Chutian (in fact, most of the time it was cool in summer), Xuzhou became the largest granary of the Han Empire.

In the Huainan area, there are Jiujiang Taishou Liu Fu, Guangling Taishou Chen Dengtuntian, and the Huainan area also has a tendency to become a granary. On the contrary, Yanzhou and Qingzhou have smaller populations and are trying to restore production.

It can be seen that Xuzhou produces more grain every year than Yanzhou and Qingzhou combined.

None of the Eastern Han princes could withstand Chutian's offensive alone.

The surviving princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty at present, unlike Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others, are more like Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, and will not be broken by each one.

In Toei Castle, Oda Nobunaga gathered a group of retainers and invited Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was an ally, to discuss the matter together.

The third national war dealt a great blow to Dongying, who participated in the national war. The daimyo of Toei realized the horror of the suzerain.

The Shimazu family, who was once arrogant to Mizhu, was shot by random arrows in the battle with the Han army, and his vitality was tenacious, and he had a record of beheading generals at the age of fifteen, and he was also one of the highest-armed generals in Dongying, and he did not die easily.

However, the Shimazu clan was already afraid of the Han Empire, and was not as arrogant as it was before the war.

It's very simple, Dongying people bully the soft and fear the hard.

"We have gathered the strength of the whole country, but we have not been able to capture a major city. The world will be the world of the Han Empire. ”

Oda Nobunaga's strategic vision is long-term.

There are many players in his retainer group, depicting the general trend of the world for Oda Nobunaga, and in addition to this battle, Oda Nobunaga's confidence has been somewhat hit.

The generals below, Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Takenaka Hanbei, Shibata Katsuie, Akechi Mitsuhide, Takigawa Kazuki, Sakuma Nobumori and others also had a little heavy faces.

Dongying has a large population, more than France and England, but its location is terrible, with the Han Empire eyeing the west and the United States with a large number of arquebusiers to the east.

Takenaka Hanbei, who is currently serving as a military advisor, took the lead in breaking the silence: "If you want to compete with the Han Empire, the only way to achieve the great ambition of the lord to deploy military force in the world as soon as possible, hoard grain and grass, and wait for the opportunity to move, this is the only way to live." The Han Empire still has a civil war, and if there is an opportunity, the lord can raise 500,000 troops to attack Goryeo. With the Goryeo Kingdom as a base, occupy Liaodong, and then try to enter the customs. No matter how bad it is, with the Goryeo Kingdom as a barrier, the forces of the Han Empire can be divided and the pressure on the mainland can be shared. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu sat down at the invitation of Oda Nobunaga, and when he heard that the Takenaka Hanbei unified Dongei and took the Goryeo Kingdom first, most of them agreed.

The only disagreement may be that he does not think that Dongying should take the initiative to provoke the Han Empire.

The young Tokugawa Ieyasu could afford to survive most of the Han Empire's military generals.

The military generals of this generation of the Han Empire were too strong, and only by surviving them to death was the final winner.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was more stable than everyone present because he was a Sima Yi-style figure.

"The Gyeonggi region is already in charge of me. Takeda Shingen suffered heavy losses in this battle, Takigawa Kazuki, you go and conspire with the Hojo family, return to the main world, and immediately send troops to attack Takeda Shingen. ”

Oda Nobunaga recognized the strategy of the Takenaka Hanbei, who first took Goryeo and then attacked Liaodong, and his strategy was steady and steady, but after all, he was a little self-sufficient.

According to Takenaka's vision, offense is the best defense.

"Are you going to destroy Shingen Takeda?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes lit up.

Takeda Shingen is a powerful enemy who prevents Oda Nobunaga from unifying the East, and his characteristics "Wind Forest Volcano", as well as the special class of red cavalry, make Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu somewhat jealous.

Oda Nobunaga looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu: "Are you scared?" ”

"No, I don't mean that. If you send troops, you will use all the troops of Mikawa and attack Kai Province together with the Hojo family. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu calculated in his heart. Oda Nobunaga's personal expedition, coupled with his Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hojo Shiyasu, the head of the Hojo family, Takeda Shingen, who had been severely damaged in the national war, would be defeated and killed. In addition, Oda Nobunaga and his retainers also recruited Toei generals from other periods, such as the tragic legendary hero Minamoto Yoshitsune.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was more concerned that if Oda Nobunaga unified Toei, he would become Oda Nobunaga's retainer, or the commander of the army.

Oda Nobunaga's hand pressed on the hilt of the katana: "Once Takeda Shingen is destroyed, the Shimazu family will be forced to submit, and the soldiers of Kyushu will be held back by Mori Motoko." At the same time, the Maori and Uesugi families will be defeated, and within three years, the world will be unified! ”

The generals under Oda Nobunaga were greatly excited.

The progress of reunification is slow and then fast, and when the forces are strong to a certain extent, they can divide the way and destroy several big forces at the same time!

Contradictions arose within the Han Empire, and the Daimyo of Dongying also accelerated their annexation, and the equilibrium was collapsing.

The war had a profound and lasting impact on the Overworld.

the rise of Temujin of the Mongol Empire, the capture of Crassus of the Roman Empire; Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire was killed, and the Ottoman Empire began large-scale civil strife; France was the most unlucky, and its strength was damaged; The seemingly powerful United States also did not receive much benefit......

The Han Empire and the Mongol Empire plundered tens of millions of people; Civilizations such as Muscovite, Mughal, Macedonian, Roman, Holy Roman, Persian, Arab, United States, etc., plundered millions of people, and some civilizations gained only a few hundred thousand people.

These changes will greatly affect the structure of the Overworld, and the population will shift to labor and soldiers.

Chu Tian alone obtained a total of more than 3 million people and soldiers, which was equivalent to obtaining a county for the Eastern Han Dynasty.

This is a direct acquisition of the population of a county, and if you rest and recuperate for twenty years, you may become five or six million people.

Chu Tian saw that Temujin's points had no longer changed, and knew that Temujin had given up secretly competing with him, so he recalled the various army commanders and prepared to return to the main world.

Chutian's soldiers and horses were divided into two parts, one part in the main city in the south, one in the main city in the west, and as for the population, it was completely in the main city in the west.

In wars, lords can see how many people and troops they have.

[Lord]: I just want to farm well

[Camp]: Eastern Han Dynasty

[Strength]: 100,000 Han troops (30,000 high-level troops, 70,000 low-level troops), 140,000 servant troops (30,000 high-level troops, 110,000 low-level troops), a total of 240,000

[Population]: 3135347

[Points]: 781215

[Ranking]: First place

Chu Tian took a cursory glance, the number of the Han army basically came from the main city in the rear, and he was full of soldiers recruited for him.

The size of the servant army was larger than that of the Han army. Originally, the number of servant troops was larger, but in order to surpass Temujin, Chutian consumed a large number of servant troops and gained points, and the number of servant troops dropped to 140,000.

Even so, the 140,000-strong servant corps is already a significant size.

Every war is a good opportunity to replenish the minion legions.

"The 140,000 servant army can already be consumed for a long time, and it will not be a problem to use it for at least two years."

Chu Tian was more troubled by the lack of a servant army commander.

The Servant Army will be divided into two legions, the first Legion (the Legion of the Holy Maiden) and the second Legion (unnamed).

The leader of the Legion of the Virgins is Joan of Arc, who can provide even more powerful bonuses to French soldiers. Of course, it can also provide bonuses to other clans, but she has the highest bonus to the French class. The lieutenant of the Legion of the Virgins was Gilles de Rey.

The commander of the second servant legion, Chu Tian has not been decided, and he is temporarily the commander.

The generals are tired, they have been fighting for a long time, and they can finally return to the Overworld to recuperate.
