Chapter 201: Fighting the Great Sui? Shibi Khan wants to go west [1 more]
The kings, nobles and sect masters of all over the world, who had originally entered Luoyang City in a hurry, all honestly found a restaurant and sat down, inquired about the news, and exchanged in a whisper.
"Shibi Khan has millions of soldiers, all of them are iron horses, and he is not a big empire?"
The little kings of Europe gathered together and said with shocked faces.
In the past, when they fought a great war, tens of thousands of people could be called a great war.
And Shibi Khan actually sat on a million iron horses, such a powerful strength is enough to sweep the whole of Europe.
However, it is not among the three major empires in the world.
"Shibi Khan once declared himself a vassal to the Great Sui, and the Great Sui can easily recruit millions of soldiers, this is strong, you look at this Luoyang City, if it is placed in Europe, it is definitely an unbreakable city."
The king of a small European country said with a wistful face.
After these few days of study, he also has a certain understanding of the world, which is divided into seven continents by the main god organization, of which Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and North America are the most developed continents.
The Persian and Great Sui Empires were mainly located in Asia, and the Byzantine Empire was mainly in Europe.
The Persian Empire had territories in Africa and Europe, and the Byzantine Empire also had territories in Africa and Asia.
However, most of the Persian Empire's borders in Africa and Europe were conquered by the Byzantine Empire, and the war between the two countries has been going on for hundreds of years.
Although the Great Sui Empire was not directly at war with the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire, there was always a strong steppe power near the Great Sui Empire.
From ancient times to the present, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, etc., several countries that once ruled the territory of the Great Sui Empire have been at war with the grassland aliens many times, and the Great Sui Empire was built on the ruins of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and after only a few decades, the Great Sui Empire has grown into a giant empire.
Shibi Khan also surrendered to the feet of the Great Sui Empire with millions of troops, and now although there is a gap with the Great Sui Empire, it is only because of the civil strife in the Great Sui Empire.
Otherwise, Shibi Khan would probably continue to submit to the Great Sui Empire.
"The Great Sui Empire's three expeditions to Goryeo were all defeated, and Goguryeo may be larger than the country we rule, but compared to the Great Sui Empire, it is just a small land."
"The Great Sui Empire seems to be civilized and prosperous, and if it borders us, it may be destroyed by us."
A king who looked to be less than thirty years old, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and he chuckled.
Goguryeo is far from being comparable with the Great Sui Empire in terms of territory and population, but the Great Sui Empire has failed to attack Goguryeo several times, and it was a fiasco.
The civilization of the Great Sui Empire may be prosperous, but the combat effectiveness of the army seems to be very weak.
In the first conquest of Goguryeo, the Sui army had a total of more than one million main battle soldiers and horses, and the number of people who transported supplies for the army was twice that of the Sui army, and the direct and indirect participants of the Great Sui Empire had exceeded five million.
An attack on such a scale was almost completely annihilated.
Although the second and third conquests of Goryeo were not as large as the first, they also mobilized hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, and suffered countless losses, all of which were in vain.
If it were him, he would have won the first attack.
There were five million troops, and all the people of Goguryeo combined did not have so much.
With such a huge advantage, it is unbelievable to say that the whole army has been wiped out.
"Hehehe·······"
A white-haired king sneered a few times in his heart, but his face was impassive.
The young king seemed to be relatively close to him, and he had previously cared about the good name of the previous king, but now it seemed that he could try to attack.
Even if it can't be destroyed, it can cut a few cities.
The reason why the three conquests of Goryeo by the Great Sui Empire failed miserably was, on the one hand, because of the internal reasons of the Great Sui Empire, and on the other hand, because of the mountainous and high-altitude dangers of Goguryeo and the complex environment.
However, because of this, the Great Sui Empire was even more terrifying.
If he were asked to choose to border the Great Sui Empire, or the Byzantine Empire or the Persian Empire, he would definitely not choose the Great Sui Empire.
The young king only saw the fiasco of the Great Sui Empire, but what he saw was the horror of the Great Sui Empire.
It is a miracle that the first conquest of Goryeo lost millions of young people, and the Great Sui Empire did not collapse.
Under these circumstances, no one year later, the campaign against Goguryeo was launched again.
Although he had never been to Goguryeo, one thing is certain: the population of Goguryeo lost at least one-third of the three expeditions.
The whole country is probably in a state of rumors, for fear of hearing the news that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has conquered Goguryeo again, and everyone is trembling.
The most terrifying thing is that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty set a terrible flag.
Goguryeo is located in the hinterland of the Great Sui Empire, and it is a confidant, as long as it is an emperor who wants to make a difference, he will definitely destroy Goguryeo.
Even if the Great Sui Empire fell, the re-emerging empire would probably send troops to destroy Goguryeo.
If it wins, Goguryeo may still have a chance to breathe.
If it is defeated, Goguryeo will be miserable.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has become a faint monarch, and it is normal for a faint monarch to defeat the battle, even if the future emperor is a faint monarch, but if he is defeated by Goguryeo, he will be angry and continue to conquer Goguryeo.
If you can't attack Goguryeo, you will also be consumed by Goguryeo.
It can be said that after the failure of Emperor Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goryeo, Goguryeo was destined to become a country to be destroyed, and it was only a matter of time.
"Our goal should be in Europe, Africa, and we should attack the Persian and Byzantine empires."
Different from the exclamations of various small countries in Europe, in a luxurious box, Shibi Khan, Jieli, Tuli, Wuzun Bi Xuan, Demon Master Zhao Deyan and others gathered together, looking at the world map on the Le Monde with fiery eyes.
All they had to do was attack westward, cross a desolate region, and destroy a few small states to reach the Persian Empire.
The land of the Persian Empire was very fertile and could be used to graze horses westward.
You only need to capture part of the territory of the Persian Empire to border the Byzantine Empire, and if you want to attack the Persian Empire, you can attack the Persian Empire, and if you want to attack the Byzantine Empire, you can attack the Byzantine Empire.
They were also worried that the Persian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and the Great Sui Empire were known as the three major empires in the world and should be of similar strength.
However, after a short period of contact, they found that the strength of the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire was not comparable to that of the Great Sui Empire.
In the Great Sui Empire, the four major gates, Cihang Jingzhai, Jingnian Zen Buddhism, Eight Gangs and Ten Societies and other forces, as long as the country is unified and can mobilize some of these forces, they are not opponents at all.
However, today, when Wuzun Bi Xuan went to inquire about the delegations from the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire, he found that among the delegations, there was only one great master in one country.
On the face of the Great Sui Dynasty, there are three people, Ning Daoqi, Heavenly Sword Song Que and Evil King Shi Zhixuan, who are the great masters.
However, they are well aware that this is only scratching the surface.
The water of the Great Sui is too deep, and it is possible that a great master will emerge from an ordinary Taoist temple, or a terrifying monk will come out of a dilapidated temple.
When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo, he not only did not take advantage of the fire to rob with millions of iron horses, but also honestly became a courtier of the Great Sui, just because he knew the horror of the Great Sui.
After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, not only was the king of Goguryeo scared, but even he was stupid.
Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was simply a madman, wave after wave, using the national fortune of the entire Great Sui to smash Goguryeo.
During the first expedition of the Great Sui to Goguryeo, someone suggested to him that the Sui Dynasty should take advantage of the fire and loot the Sui Dynasty and attack the defeated army of the Sui army from behind.
Shibi Khan was actually moved, and even secretly prepared.
In his opinion, the Great Sui Empire has lost millions of young people, and it will have to recuperate for at least ten years, and attacking the Great Sui at this time, even if it fails, the Great Sui should not attack them.
It's a pity that there is one person who prepares faster than he did.
He was not ready, and as a result, news came out in the Great Sui that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had prepared for his second military campaign against Goguryeo.
Suddenly, frightened, he hurriedly calmed down all the voices that wanted to sneak attack Da Sui.
When he heard that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had returned from his second expedition to Goguryeo, he did not need to be reminded by others, he himself was 100% sure that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would definitely recuperate.
This time, if he didn't bleed from Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he would not be the Shibi Khan.
As a result, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was still faster than him, and issued an edict to once again levy the world's soldiers and attack Goguryeo.
When the third campaign also failed, he also calmed down, and the others also calmed down, and whoever likes to fight will not do it.
Not to their expectations, when the third expedition to Goguryeo, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, was frightened and sent an envoy to ask for surrender, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui therefore recruited the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, into the court, but Gao Yuan did not come.
Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the generals to be dressed up strictly and prepared to conquer Goguryeo again.
It's just that the Great Sui at this time was too chaotic, the peasant uprisings continued in various places, the four major lords, all the sects and factions in the rivers and lakes began to disobey the yin and yang, some raised troops and respected themselves, and some secretly looked for Mingjun, peasant uprisings were everywhere, and Yang Guang, the emperor of Sui Yang, was already a dead man in the eyes of everyone.
Therefore, the fourth campaign against Goguryeo ended without a hitch.
Shibi Khan waited and waited, and after waiting for almost a year, he found that the soldiers and horses of the Great Sui had not moved for a long time.
Therefore, in the eleventh year of the Great Cause, that is, the first year after the third conquest of Goguryeo, Shibi Khan personally went to Luoyang to meet Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.
He just wanted to see how iron Emperor Yang Guangtou of the Sui Dynasty was, why had it been so long, and he hadn't gone to conquer Goguryeo, was he brewing a bigger attack?
As a result, along the way, except for some large cities that were still in the hands of the Sui Dynasty, he found that other places were full of beacon smoke, and Yang Guang, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, completely lost the support of the people and was unable to mobilize troops and horses.
After returning to the grassland, Shibi Khan struggled for a long time, and finally made up his mind, taking advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Yang of Sui to tour Beisai, he personally led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to sneak attack the car of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and surrounded Emperor Yang Guang of Sui in Yanmen County.
As a result, he found that the reinforcements from Luoyang and the counties of the Sui Dynasty rushed to the rescue from all directions like a hundred rivers converging on the sea.
This is different from what he thought, didn't Emperor Yang Guang of Sui lose the hearts of the people? Isn't it that no one wants it?
How could so many people come to his rescue?
Princess Yicheng sent someone to tell him that the northern border was in an emergency, and he hesitated for a moment before breaking the siege and retreating.
Thinking of the madness of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo, Shibi Khan felt that it was not cost-effective to stay, and he was afraid that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would use the last bit of vitality of the Great Sui to fight him.
The Great Sui is already adrift in the wind and rain anyway, wait a little longer, and wait for the complete collapse of the Great Sui.
When he looked at the world map before, he had a new idea, and now that Wuzun Bi Xuan had personally probed the strength of the Persian Empire and the Byzantine Empire delegation, he felt that the world had opened a new door for him.
What is the Great Sui?
Even if the Great Sui is in turmoil and has become a struggle for hegemony among the princes, it will not be many years before the world will be unified again.
When the time comes, they will not be able to defeat the new empire.
If you attack the Persian Empire to the west and the Byzantine Empire, the two empires seem to be much easier to attack than the Great Sui, and besides, if you destroy one of them, they can also become one of them.
Shibi Khan felt excited when he thought about it, and from the attitude of the main god organization towards the three empires, he knew the benefits of becoming an empire.
"After the contention of a hundred schools of thought is over, immediately prepare for the westward expedition!"
