Chapter Eighty-Five: The World
Where is Liu Bei?
Liu Bei is on an unnamed hill.
There is nothing more painful in the world than to draw you a very large piece of bread, and it is visible to the naked eye that that piece of bread is slowly becoming real, not illusory. But just as the piece of bread became a reality, and he was about to hold it tightly in his hand, suddenly a dog ran over and took the cake away under his nose!
The alliance was not formed, the military advisor was gone, the immortal chief was gone, and even the family wealth that he had worked so hard to accumulate for many years was defeated by him, and now Liu Bei has the heart to die!
"Two virtuous brothers, which crooked-necked tree do you think I should choose?" Liu Bei looked around and asked.
A fine light flashed in Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes: "According to the little brother's view, the middle one, faintly surrounded by purple qi, and there are even heavenly dragons circling, and the divine phoenix dancing." It is by no means a person who sells his head by inserting a bid, a generation of local chickens and dogs. This tree ...... It's unspeakably expensive, and he deserves the status of the eldest brother Han Huang's nobleman! ”
Zhang Fei's godless eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope: "If I want to say, it's better to be the one on the right." My eldest man respects the right, the eldest brother is our elder brother, according to the one on the right, the second brother is in the middle, and I am at the end. Being in the southwest, when looking at the northeast, you can live up to this experience in the world! ”
There was a glimmer of hope in Liu Bei's eyes: "According to me, you have been my little brother for life, and I have been your eldest brother for life, today, we will change positions, Yun Chang, you will be the eldest brother, Yide, you will be the second brother, and I, I will be your little brother once!" ”
"How does this work?!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said in unison.
"Haha, how can this not be done? Big brother, second brother, please bow down to the younger brother! As he spoke, Liu Bei bowed deeply to Guan and Zhang.
"This ......" Guan Yu hesitated for a while, then saw Liu Bei's determined expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yu, I've seen the third brother!" ”
Zhang Fei's swarthy face that couldn't see other colors rarely showed a hint of flushing, obviously, he was very excited about this scene of "turning over the serf and singing": "Fei, I've seen the third brother!" ”
"Big brother, second brother!"
"Big brother, third brother!"
"Second brother, third brother!"
"Hahahaha!!"
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei held each other's hands, danced and laughed.
Never give up, life and death together.
What could be more exciting and joyful than meeting one or two good brothers in your life? At this point, their friendship has transcended words.
A day later, a passing merchant and accidentally discovered that in a wilderness, under three crooked neck trees, three new tombstones were erected, the inscriptions were extremely brief, from left to right: Guan Yuyunchang's tomb, Zhang Feiyide's tomb, Liu Bei's Xuande's tomb!
A month later, in Zhuo County, Youzhou, three middle-aged people walked into the city gate unhurriedly. Among the three middle-aged men, one has his hands above his knees and has a handsome face; One is burly, with a face like a heavy jujube; A voice like thunder, a face like black coal.
Among the three men, the red-faced person called the white-faced person the third brother, and the white-faced person called the black-faced person the second brother......
A year later, Cao Cao unified the whole country and ascended the throne as emperor.
The capital is Luoyang, the heavenly way is fixed, the three provinces and six departments are fixed, the imperial examination is fixed, the country is named Wei, and the year is called Shenzhou!
This is the first year of China!
Five years later, the country of Wei was rich and strong, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the streets of Luoyang were not closed at night, and the roads were not left behind. There is a heavenly Taoism that leads people to goodness, passes on martial arts, and teaches people knowledge. There are also millions of soldiers with armor, all of whom are elite, ready to go!
In the fifth year of Shenzhou, Cao Cao, who was fifty-nine years old at the time, worshiped Zhang Liao as the vanguard, Li Dian and Le Jin as deputy generals, led an army of 50,000 to conquer the Western Regions, and then led an army of 700,000 to the west, leaving only 100,000 soldiers to defend the northern frontier and 100,000 soldiers to defend the western frontier.
The Xianbei tribes of the different races of the grassland heard the wind and moved, Budugen and Kebineng saw Cao Cao take up his army and march westward into the Western Regions, thinking that there was an opportunity, so they formed an alliance and led 400,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into two routes. 150,000 all the way, led by Bu Dugen, invaded Yanmen County; Two hundred and fifty thousand all the way, led by Kebineng, invaded Daijun!
Xianbei fought without declaring a war, and Kebi was able to raid Dai County overnight, and the defenders of Dai County were scarce, and they were broken after two days of resistance. A day later, Zenna County was also broken through by the root of Budu!
After breaking through the defense of the Great Wei frontier, the men and horses of the two sides relied on the rapid mobility of the cavalry and quickly interspersed and wreaked havoc in Yanmen and Daijun.
At this time, the people of Yanmen and Daijun had been connected to the interior, leaving only empty cities and villages. And when the Xianbei army went deep into the hinterland of the two counties alone, they discovered the truth.
And just after the Xianbei army penetrated into the two counties, in addition to the gateway to the interior that was originally occupied by the Xianbei army, countless Wei soldiers were also ushered in!
A big net opened for the Xianbei tribe quietly closed after the fish was hooked!
The 700,000 Wei troops who originally conquered the Western Regions suddenly surrendered to Yanmen, Youzhou and Daijun, surrounded the Xianbei army of the invasion, and divided 150,000 cavalry into the interior of the Xianbei grassland.
Then 800,000 Wei troops slaughtered the power of Xianbei, all the way to the east, successively conquering the Wuhuan and Fuyu tribes, and finally stopped at Goguryeo due to factors such as fatigue of soldiers, heavy snowfall and sudden drop in temperature.
In the seventh year of Shenzhou, Cao Cao once again personally conquered Goguryeo, and it was decided in January!
In the same year, Cao Cao took back seven people including Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Lu Xun who were exiled on Yizhou Island, and began to attack the whole island of Yizhou.
In the spring of the eighth year of Shenzhou, the world's first train powered by water vapor was built, supervised by Tiangong Pavilion.
In October of the same year, Cao's army completely controlled the entire island of Yizhou and began to migrate people to build Yizhou Island.
At the same time, one runs through the territory of the Great Wei, starting from Yizhou, passing through Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou nine states, enclosing the Great Wei into an irregular ellipse, and with Luoyang as the center, five divergent connections to the ellipse, the super-large official road paved by cement was officially completed, making the Great Wei Dynasty completely connected to the east, west, north and south!
At this time, from Qingzhou, the easternmost part of the Great Wei, to Liangzhou, the westernmost state, it only takes half a month!
In August of the eighth year of Shenzhou, the world's first airship was successfully developed, and the dream of human beings to fly into the sky was given wings at this moment.
In March of the ninth year of Shenzhou, the western expedition officially began!
In February of the tenth year of Shenzhou, the countries of the Western Regions surrendered, and the Wei army bordered the Kushan territory!
In March of the tenth year of Shenzhou, a local war broke out between Great Wei and Guishan, and in November of the same year, a national war broke out!
The four great powers of Eurasia, Daqin, Anxi, Guishan, and Dahan.
Daqin is Rome, its glory is widely known, and the current Colosseum of ancient Rome still shows people the style of the year! Needless to say, the continuation of the glory of the Han Dynasty, the nation that has stood at the top of the world since the Bronze Age, has still existed tenaciously for 5,000 years.
Under the light of both, Sabbath and Frost seem a little bleak. Until now, very few people know their names and their glorious history.
The Sabbatarian Empire, also known as the Parthian Empire or the Asasis Dynasty, was located in the Iranian plateau region of western Asia and was founded in 247 BC and destroyed in 224 AD. The land area once reached 2.29 million square kilometers, which was wider than the 1.45 million square kilometers of Wu and 1.07 million square kilometers of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period, and only more than 600,000 square kilometers short of 2.91 million square kilometers of Wei. Because of the long-term war with the neighboring Great Qin Empire, the country's power quickly weakened, and it was soon replaced by the Sassanid Empire.
The Kushan Empire was founded by the Bactria Kushan tribe who were conquered by the Great Yue clan, and at its peak stretched from present-day Tajikistan to the Caspian Sea, Afghanistan, and the Ganges River Valley, bordering the Mauryan Empire. With a population of several million and more than 200,000 soldiers, it was destroyed by the Bada in 425 AD.
Dawei continued the Han Dynasty, and Guishuang was also at its peak, but overall, Dawei was a few cuts stronger.
However, the Western Regions were newly settled, the foothold of the Great Wei was not stable, and the countries of the Western Regions were previously devastated by war, which affected production, and the local people were also hostile to the Great Wei soldiers. The people's hearts were not attached, and food, grass, materials, and military resources could not be provided in large quantities and quickly. These many adverse effects made the soldiers of Great Wei tantamount to conducting a long-distance journey.
And Guishuang is waiting for work, behind him is a stable rear, the grain and grass are sufficient, plus in the local battle, the time and place are favorable, and the advantages are obvious!
If the Great Wei is given a few years, the road is paved into the territory of the Western Regions, and then the situation in the Western Regions is completely stabilized, and a group of soldiers are trained to deal with local battles, then the victory or defeat will be clear at a glance. But the people of the Guishan Empire are not fools, and they know that if they are not defeated while the enemy is still unstable, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The war is coming as scheduled!
In April of the 11th year of Shenzhou, the war continued from the 10th year of Shenzhou to the 11th year of Shenzhou, and the endless war for five months killed 150,000 people in the Guishan Empire, and the Great Wei Empire also paid for the lives of 200,000 soldiers, and even Li Dian, Tai Shici, and Cao Zhen three generals died in battle!
The Grim Reaper was entrenched in the area of Shule and Shache on the east side of the Green Ridge, and the lives of nearly 400,000 people were forever left under the green mountains.
In the same month, the Great Wei Empire broke through the barrier of the Green Mountains and entered the territory of the Kushan Empire, opening a new situation for the stalemate.
In August of the 11th year of Shenzhou, the Great Wei was ambushed in the territory of Guishan, 115,000 soldiers buried their bodies in a foreign country, the general Xiahoudun died in battle, Xu Huang, one of the five good generals, was killed in battle, Zhang He was wounded and escaped, and only 5,000 soldiers in the whole army survived and returned to the front line on the west side of the Green Ridge alive.
In December of the 11th year of Shenzhou, the Sabbatical Empire on the west side of the Kushan Empire went to war without declaring war, and the Kushan was attacked on both fronts, and the mentality of soldiers and civilians who regarded death as their home was broken, and the morale that had been recovered due to Bhaktra's victory plummeted!
On September 20, the thirteenth year of Shenzhou, the Kushan Empire was destroyed under the attack of Great Wei and Anxi!
On September 21, the thirteenth year of Shenzhou, Cao Cao died of illness, Cao Pi ascended the throne, and Cao Cao was honored as Emperor Wu, and the temple name was Taizu!
