Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"It doesn't matter what your majesty thinks. If the country is destroyed, your majesty will not live alone." Ardashir said calmly, as if he had guessed Atratomy's thoughts in an instant.

Once the Zagros Mountains are opened, the rest of the world will really be over. It will not only be looted in places such as Tessiphon on the Two Rivers, but all valuable areas in the entire country will be looted. Once this happens, I'm afraid that Anxi will no longer have the power to turn around.

That is really equivalent to destroying the country in Anxi, only Taixifeng was brought down, and other places are still there. Although the muscles and bones are broken, Anxi is still far from death, but if the Zagros Mountains are pierced, then the entire Anxi Empire will be destroyed. There is no need to live.

This is what Ardashir will say directly after understanding the situation. If the Zagros Mountains are split, the western elite of Anxi will be threatened by Armenia, and the lifeline in central Anxi will also be killed. .

It is true that Rome has no way to occupy Anxi, but if destruction is easier than construction, it is obvious that the plan to cut off the Zagros Mountains, how to put it, is essentially to cut off the last lifeline of Anxi.

After this is opened, if you attack Taixifeng first, it will be the same as before, but if you cut off the lifeline of the central part first, it will destroy the production in the central part of Anxi.

Under such circumstances, if Taixifeng has not been defended, then Anxi will be dead this time, and there is no way to save him if he is dead. It is different from the fall of the capital in the past. If such a thing really happened , which is basically equivalent to the destruction of the country.

The Zagros Mountains are the barrier of the Parthian Empire, not the barrier of Taisiphon, but how can I put it, without the Zagros Mountains, Rome is a flat river opposite the Parthian Empire, without any obstacles, although Rome has short legs, but no matter how short the legs are It's not even a flat push.

Similarly, Ctesiphon has been defeated several times, and the reason why Anxi can be rebuilt is that there are several times the land in the east of the Zagros Mountains, and Ecbatana, the former capital of the Achaemenid dynasty, It was even another capital of the former Parthian Empire, as well as the elite cities of Parthian like Hekadongbiru.

To put it simply, when Nanjing is the capital city, it can still retreat westward after being beaten down, to Sichuan and Sichuan Tianfu. But the situation in Rome is simpler. After I cut off your back road and killed your country, Then plunder.

Atratomy nodded and didn't say anything else. When he was about to go back, he handed the royal scepter given to him by Vologis V to Ardashir. , can only rely on strength, not a symbol.

In particular, the troops stationed in the Zagros Mountains do not belong to the royal family, and this royal staff is even more a symbol.

But sometimes it is very important to symbolize this kind of thing, especially for a guy like Ardashir who is ready to conquer by force, or even directly obtain military power in a way equivalent to rebellion.

Even if it is for this country, the rebellion will inevitably be liquidated in the end. It is very important to have such a symbol of the resting royal family, even if the royal family of this country has become a symbol, it is indeed very important.

Watching Ardashir and the others leave, Zhuge Liang and the others showed deep thought. At this critical juncture, when they are fighting for power and profit internally, there are indeed capable people who will work hard for this country.

"These two young people will definitely become heroes of the moment in the Central Plains." Chen Gong said slowly, looking at the backs of the two.

"Heroes of the moment?" Sima Yi sneered, "I think they might not be able to get ahead in the Central Plains, but it's because of the current situation in An'an that they stand out. As for whether they will fly into the sky or fall into the mud, whoever Know."

Zhuge Liang looked at the backs of Ardasil and Atratomy, and he had a feeling that he would see them again soon, and by then they would be completely different from what they are now.

"Ardashir is good, I want to keep this young man." The judge looked at Ardasil's back. Their old Yuan's house is short of everything now. From the judge's point of view, this young man is very interested , so there is some meaning of wanting to win over.

"Is this battle sure to be defeated in peace?" Zhuge Liang murmured. The strategic intentions of the two sides are different. Victory or defeat does not depend on the loss of troops of the enemy or ourselves, but on whether the strategic intentions are achieved.

Tactical victories and how many enemies have been annihilated are very important, but if the strategic situation cannot be reversed, then tactical victories and losses are of no value at all.

On the road from Chang'an to the Western Regions, a large number of slaves are working hard to build the road. These slaves are the group of people who felt guilty and brainwashed by Ji Xiang after returning from the Northern Xinjiang War, so they worked very hard.

Because of this way of thinking, after the road to the Western Regions was divided into a thousand sections, the speed of construction far exceeded Cao Cao's imagination. There is a very big gap in speed and quality of work.

Just because these slaves worked so hard, Cao Cao didn't mean to be harsh, and even gave these slaves extra meals during the Chinese New Year. After all, no one can guarantee that they will use these slaves to death. Next time The slaves who came will still be so obedient.

At present, the road to the Western Regions, the Longxi section and the Hexi Corridor have been repaired, and now a group of well-dressed Qiang people are escorting gifts to Chang'an.

"Elder, what should we do after we go this time? How can we explain to the Qiang king? Such a big thing happened." greeted.

"Are you still explaining?" The elders of the Qiang people are extremely big, and there is a ghost to explain.

There were more than 70 Qiang tribes. The year before last, all the affairs were dealt with during the Ma Chao New Year's Day. On the eighth day of the eighth day, more than 70 people came to pay New Year's greetings to Qiang King Ma Chao, and everyone brought gifts.

Last year was a better year, especially when Cao Cao wanted to support the Qiang people. He began to unify the language of the Qiang people, taught the Qiang people Mandarin, changed customs, and taught the Qiang people to farm.

Although the Qiang people’s farming skills were very poor at that time, they couldn’t stand Xun Yu’s control of the sky. The year was good, and the Qiang tribe didn’t suffer any disasters, so they all felt that they had chosen an excellent Qiang king. What.

Naturally, last year, more Qiang people came to Ma Chao to pay New Year's greetings, and they gave him a lot of various gifts. Although Ma Chao didn't need these things, but some Qiang people came to give him gifts, and Ma Chao felt that he was honored.

Although in my impression Ma Chao didn’t do anything, but during the bloody battle against Xixianbei before the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, thousands of young and strong Qiang people were killed in a battle. There were also more than 2,000 Qiang king's guards.

However, the situation after the beginning of last year was a bit complicated for the Qiang people.

First, Guo Bang returned to Liangzhou in March and April, and sent people to recruit Liangzhou men to fight in the Western Regions. To be honest, Guo Bang said that he did not recruit Qiang people at all.

But, how should I put it, although the Xiliang iron cavalry beat the Qiang people very badly, the Qiang people worship the Xiliang iron cavalry very much. The Qiang people are very envious.

As a result, needless to say, although Guo Bang said that he did not want to recruit Qiang people who had no fighting power and had to mix their rations, but this group of people brought their own weapons, wrapped in sheepskin, and even ran over with dry rations to express their gratitude. I want to continue to hang out with them.

Guo Bang said that he really couldn't bear to kick them away, and some of them pretended to know themselves, well, Guo Bang didn't know them anyway.

In short, because the wave of Guo Bang brought not many people and the distance to go was far away, the men from Liangzhou who were recruited were barely in their early four thousand years, but because they heard that the head of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry recruited soldiers here, they prepared their own weapons. The Qiang cavalry who came to beg for food were actually a thousand more than the Liangzhou men.

Then Guo Si endured a headache and took this group of Qiang people away. As a result, these Qiang people are still wandering under the Permian Plateau, and even the barbarians brought by Yuan Tan are also wandering there. The two sides have barely climbed up to now. Go to the place where Xiliang iron cavalry lives.

Naturally, Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou didn't bring these miscellaneous soldiers with them when they dispatched troops. After all, it was a battle of empires, so it would be embarrassing to bring some rubbish, so throw it away.

As for those Liangzhou men, the hundreds of unqualified Xiliang iron cavalry left behind by Li Jue led the Permian Plateau to train. Now their physical fitness is qualified, and their blood is also seen, and they are still different from those in Central Asia. Knowing that the wild stormtroopers emerging from there made two fights.

It's just that there is still a long distance from the dual talents. On the contrary, the hundreds of Xiliang iron cavalry that Li Jue left behind on the grounds of being unqualified have now climbed to the height that Li Jue and others climbed, and their will has been sublimated To put it simply, these hundreds of people can be converted into military souls or three talents at any time as long as they give a superior template.

As for the resident people who flicked here, there are no more than 20,000 people today, which means that Li Jue's place is still unable to be self-sufficient.

However, not being self-sufficient is not a big problem. There are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions next to it. No matter whether he lives in Kangju, Dawan, or Wusun, he can survive by fighting the autumn wind, and it is guaranteed by force.

As a Qiang with a population of 2 million, it is not a big problem to run away more than 5,000 young and strong, bringing their own weapons and dry food to follow the Xiliang cavalry.

However, the next step is the beginning of the trouble. If it is said that Guo Bang brought dozens of people to recruit Liangzhou men, he has no interest in them Qiang people. Guo Si didn't want to drive away.

Then the Xiliang iron cavalry brought by Wanpeng passing by would be a devastating blow to the tribes of Xiqiang. Wanpeng brought the Xiliang iron cavalry to recruit people!
