Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

After watching Li Xin leave, Brahe turned to look at the generals behind him and asked, "What do you guys think?"

"Although he is just an ordinary envoy, his bearing far exceeds that of every envoy before him. At least he has not shown the slightest fear from the beginning to the end. Even if he is threatened by Yan Lipu, he has not shown any fear." Helilaheyuan Looking at the back of Li Xin who was surrounded by guards, he said with a little appreciation.

"Yan Lipu, I know that you are puzzled and angry, but now is not the time for you to get angry. Next, we will have a battle with the Han Dynasty. If you have any questions, use your sword to ask the enemy in front of you." Bu Seeing that Yan Lipu was upset, Lahe said with a smile.

"I will ask them with my sword. If they are worth fighting for me, then come." Yan Lipu said arrogantly. Have absolute self-confidence.

"Let's prepare for the battle. Since the Han Empire is confident that we can choose the time and place, then we will prepare a big gift for them." Brahe said with a slight smile on his face.

"That's not good." Sulapuri frowned and said, "Even if the other party gives us the choice of time and place, if we go too far, it would be too embarrassing."

"There is nothing shameful in war. Since they have such a high profile, why don't we take advantage of it? Remember when His Majesty Yan Gaozhen was defeated by Congling, why didn't we take advantage of the opportunity?" Brahe shook his head and said.

"It was they who gave us the opportunity to choose the time and place. Since it is within the scope of the rules, why not take advantage of it? It's nothing to lose face, let's talk about it after winning." Helilah said with a light smile, but a stern light flashed in his eyes.

"It's just doing this, isn't it admitting that our Guishuang is not as good as the Han Dynasty?" Sulapuri frowned and said, "How can we say that we have been almost undefeated for more than a hundred years, from scratch, from Cong Lingnan The next attack will be a powerful dynasty that is almost undefeated."

"It's just that we haven't encountered a real powerful country like before. Think about the countries around us that are considered powerful?" LeBriley shrugged and said, and the generals next to him suddenly looked unhappy.

"Although everyone doesn't like to hear these words, I still want to say one thing, before we really fight against and defeat the Han Empire, we must remain in awe of them." Brahe said solemnly.

"At least under the sky, as the royal family of the Da Yue Clan who used to connect things, from history to today, we have only witnessed the collapse of the empire once." LeBriley said with a chuckle as he looked at the crowd.

"Just this one time is enough for us to remember that Rome in the far west has spent more than a hundred years, and it is still in a stalemate with the Parthian Empire. , apart from Emperor Yan Gaozhen, has there been any other victories? But during the heyday of Parthia, did we completely destroy us?" Helilah explained calmly.

"However, hundreds of years ago, the Xiongnu Empire was so powerful that it not only almost wiped out our ancestors, but even the Youxian King, who was in charge of the westward advance, fought all the way and forced Congling. Such a powerful empire, in the end It was almost wiped out by the Han Empire." Helila Hesen looked at all the generals with cold eyes, making everyone feel a little chilly.

"Okay, don't scare them, Helilah, you just need to know these things, I know your family manages the history books, but you don't need to show off these things." Seeing that all the generals were suppressed Stop, stop drinking Helilah immediately, if this continues, there will be problems with morale.

"Oh." Helilah stopped intimidating indifferently. As a family that has been recording the history of the country, Helilah knows too many horrors that have been buried in history, so he is most in awe of the Han Empire.

In other words, when Guishuang was still in Central Asia, as a node of exchange and transshipment between the East and the West, it had a much deeper understanding of the surrounding areas than Rome and the Han Dynasty. There are detailed records.

Even if they were beaten to death by the Huns and the classics were lost, as the editors of history books, they have a much deeper understanding of the surrounding countries than normal nobles.

This is the same as if Sima Qian had a son and passed it on, the Sima family's understanding of the surrounding countries would definitely be much better than Li You's well-known and memorized half bucket of water.

"Halilah, what do you mean by being so scary?" Amir, the general who has been silent all this time, looked at Helilah unhappily. He is basically out of tune with this group of nobles. Well, I can only rely on myself.

"Although I don't like Helilah's words very much, but if I remember correctly, what he said is the truth. The Han Empire is the only super empire that successfully destroyed another empire. This record is unmatched so far. Broken." The military general Sha Ruke on the side said slowly, and the faces of everyone couldn't help but become even uglier.

In fact, the possibility of an empire dying to other countries is actually very small. Just a vast territory is enough to choke to death the country that wants to annex the empire. The supply line is an unavoidable reality even in the era of hot weapons. , let alone ancient times.

So normally speaking, if one big empire wants to destroy another empire, the hard work of several generations is indispensable. However, the monarchy, a system that is both cheating and against the sky, is really unreliable what will happen in several generations.

After all, you can't guarantee that you will be a wise ruler from generation to generation, nor can you guarantee that another empire will be a weak ruler from generation to generation. To be reasonable, it is basically an illusion that one generation will severely damage the vitality of another empire.

In fact, the most important reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty severely injured the Huns by beating the Xiongnu was that Emperor Zhao was free to develop the country and continue to divide and destroy the Xiongnu. The most important reason is that Emperor Wu lived too long. He reigned for fifty-five years. In ancient times, this was three generations. man.

In this way, Emperor Wu's iron-blooded method cannot be said to have destroyed the Xiongnu Empire, but it can only be said to have severely damaged the Xiongnu Empire. If it weren't for Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, they were very powerful, and the Huns Empire suffered brain damage one after another. , It is not so easy to destroy the Huns.

In the same way, you can refer to Rome and Anxi. Anxi is not as strong as the Huns. Rome and the Han Dynasty definitely have a fight, but the war between Rome and Anxi lasted at least two hundred years. If you count the rise of the Sasanian Persian Empire to replace Anxi Continuing to fight Rome, the war between the two empires lasted for six hundred years...

The reason why the two empires are tossing like dogs is actually entirely because the emperors of both sides have not been in power for a long time. The emperors who came from the Roman Republic were also strong and weak. Sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

You can tell by looking at Guishuang. With the same basic disk, the country ruled by Weisudeva I, who was dawdling before, seemed to be going downhill. After the madness, the entire empire seemed to be reborn from the ashes. The mood is different.

This is the biggest problem of the so-called imperial system. If the emperor is really powerful, then the power that erupts from the whole country will be terrible. If the emperor is too good, the whole country will be bad. In short, the king of subjugation is basically reasonable They are all too capable.

Therefore, if two great empires with vast territories and huge population bases fight, generally speaking, as long as one of the empires is not too unlucky and produces several generations of garbage in a row, it is reasonable to say that the two sides can only win and lose each other, it is hard to say Whoever loses wins.

Just like Anxi now, to be honest, the opponent of Vologis V should still be the Five Great Emperors. If this generation of emperors continues, the war between the two sides will continue for hundreds of years.

It can be said that in the great imperial war of the imperial system, as long as there are no such strange things as some powerful emperors killing more than three generations of opponents in a row, or a certain country producing several generations of Ming emperors in a row, it is basically difficult for anyone to destroy the opponent by fighting.

The powerful foundation of the Xiongnu Empire lies in the fact that the three generations of Shanyu, Maodun, Lao Shang, and military officials are all worthy of Mingjun. Including the earlier Touman, the three generations of Mingjun directly laid the foundation of an empire.

However, the Han Empire, the opponent of the Xiongnu Empire, produced seven generations of monarchs above the average level, and then met the powerful Emperor Wu in the early days of the Yizhixie era. Well, Emperor Wu directly killed the fifth or sixth generation Shanyu.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed five or six generations of Shanyu, the Han Dynasty was followed by super-high-level emperors such as Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, and the Xiongnu Empire produced four generations of waste materials. If this is not dead , to what extent does the foundation have to be thick?

So if you really want to talk about the demise of the empire, the reason for the demise in your own hands is much greater than the reason for the demise in the hands of the enemy, but for Guishuang and the historians who compiled history books in the Han Dynasty, there may be more reasons for writing wars Some, but the possibility of being destroyed in a war is really very small.

"Okay, it's enough for everyone to know about this matter. Don't put too much psychological pressure on fighting the Han Empire. After all, we are not what we were a hundred years ago. It's good to fight a war so that we can get to know each other." Brahe reassured everyone. Speaking of which, the record of destroying an empire is indeed...

"However, I still don't recommend tampering with the time and place." Sulapuri said hesitantly, he also knew the power of the Han Empire, "In my opinion, a strong empire should at least have self-confidence, and we are facing There are times when dealing with other countries, but when facing the Han Empire, there is obviously something wrong with our mentality."

"The problem is true, but I think the general's proposal is good. We really should have confidence, but knowing that it will not be so easy to win, we still maintain confidence instead of being cautious. This is probably not good." Lai Briley explained.

"But with this method, what can we gain if we win?" Sulapuri obviously still couldn't let go.

"Gain confidence," Brahe said after a moment of silence.

"How can it be possible to gain self-confidence, it can only make the soldiers feel ashamed!" Sulapuri said dissatisfied.

"What do they know?" Helilah sneered, "What soldiers need is victory, what we need is self-confidence, even in this way, if we can defeat the Han Empire, do you think it will be important for our group of people?" Has there been a change in mentality?"

"I reserve my opinion." Sulapuri was silent for a while and nodded as he agreed with Khalilah's answer, but he stubbornly reserved his opinion.

"Do you have any other ideas? Let me know your mentality." Seeing that Helilah convinced Sulapuri, Braher turned to ask other civil servants and generals.

"No more." Yan Lipu shook his head and said, the same is true for other generals. Compared with civilian officials, these generals don't have so many careful thoughts, let alone after hearing about the achievements of the Han Empire, as generals who charged into battle more sober.

After all, not only the soldiers need to win, but the generals also need to win. To hell with failure, as for the time and place, the generals don't care at all. Winning is enough, and the rest don't have to worry about it at all.

"Since this is the case, you should choose soldiers to prepare for the battle. It is impossible for us to fight a large-scale war with the Han Dynasty. This is completely unnecessary, but too little is not good. Each of you prepares a soldier and horse. All right." Brahe thought for a while and said.

Brahe really didn't want to lose too many troops, but he also wanted to spy on the current military strength of the Han Empire, so after thinking about it for a while, he planned to turn this battle into a miniature of the Great War and control the scale of both sides, but all the soldiers were elite.

"Helilah, Sulapuri, and Lebrili, you three stay here. Let's talk about the time and place, and how to fight this battle. Although we are prepared to lose, but also if we win Now, we also need to be prepared." Brahe said to the three civil servants after he took the general away.

Several people compared the map, calculated the marching speed of the Han Dynasty, and finally chose a place that was not conducive to the Han Dynasty. As for the time agreed in the war letter, it was one month later, but there were only 20 days left after sending it over. And if the army marches, it will be impossible to march so far in the past 20 days without forcing it once or twice.

Although it was said that during the twenty days of marching, only one or two forcible actions were carried out, which seemed to have no effect, but if it really reached that level, even the slightest difference might cause the balance to shift in a certain direction.

"I always feel that if we do this, if we still lose, I'm afraid it will be really embarrassing." Sulapuri said with a sigh.

"So we must win, and choosing despicable means means that we have been aiming for victory from the very beginning, not for the so-called loss to others." Helilah shrugged and said, "We have no way out, of course Our general is even more so."

"Even if the opponent is the Han Empire, we have to win. If we still lose under such shameless conditions, I am afraid that those generals will feel grief and anger, so they will do everything possible to win, and we need this kind of victory. will," LeBryle said with a smile. (To be continued.)
