After the officials at the execution office gave a positive hint again, Ganassis had a much higher opinion of the Han Empire and Li Jue. Although Ganassis had already had a very high evaluation of the two before, it has become even more so now. Taller.

This kind of high is more admiration of moral quality. After all, Li Jue's performance largely represents the attitude and face of a country. Although he didn't understand the title system of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis is also a noble after all.

"Forget it, don't mention these things, it has already happened, and I have nothing to do, I hope the country will not trouble me, talk about something happy, do you have any fun over there, come and listen, let me laugh Hahaha." Li Jue may also feel that it is a bit uncomfortable to say these things, and after mentioning a few words, he decisively changed the topic.

"What's the fun..." Ganassis thought for a while, "Speaking of which, I have been on the battlefield recently and I have no fun to talk about. If I really want to talk about fun, the fight between you and Anxi is the most fun I have heard recently. Others It's really no fun."

Li Jue almost spit out the wine when he heard the words, rolled his eyes at Ganassis, and put down the wine glass again, "I won't say anything else, the trouble with An'an has come out, I'm afraid we and An'an will never be the same as before We fought side by side."

"Actually, we don't understand why you are fighting for Anxi. The land east of the Caspian Sea that Anxi gave you is worth so much from you?" Ganassis asked curiously when he saw Li Jue talking. .

"That's one aspect, and another aspect. In fact, we signed a covenant with Anxi hundreds of years ago, and then the covenant was broken up. When I came to the Western Regions, my predecessor didn't care about these things. I just met him that time. I arrived, so I signed another contract with the other party." Li Jue said with a sigh remembering what happened back then.

The magnanimity of Vologis V really moved Li Jue, and since Xiliang Iron Cavalry needed a battlefield, Li Jue slipped along, but at that time he really did not expect that Rome would be so strong.

It’s hard to get off the back, and the land delivered in advance by Vologis V really impressed the Han Dynasty. They went up with the idea of ​​half a test, half a practice, but the result was almost killed by Rome. Of course, it was almost .

Because of the closeness, Rome gave the younger generation of the Han Dynasty a very high evaluation.

"In this way, I can understand. I said that you are not like this. The wasteland that Vologis gave you should not make you work so hard. It turns out that you still have a covenant before." Ganassis heard Yan nodded, understanding the Han Dynasty.

"The covenant was made hundreds of years ago, but I just continued it." Li Jue looked sideways and said, in fact, the covenant is not a covenant, Li Jue is just smiling, the battle between the two rivers, the Han Dynasty is so active and important The reason is that more than one million square kilometers of land.

Although the area west of the Caspian Sea is not very good, there is a large area that can be used for farming. As for the other areas, they are all relatively good pastures. You can get so much by helping out in a fight. According to the habits of the Han family, for this reason A fight is not unacceptable.

"Although I haven't contacted His Majesty about the relevant conditions, it is estimated that there should be no change in the situation. We form an alliance and rest in peace. You take the east of Mediah, the west of the Zagros Mountains belongs to us, and the Zagros Mountains to Midi. Dia can be used as a condominium buffer zone." Ganassis said calmly, as sincere as ever.

It is impossible for Rome to cross Zagros to occupy land. This is a point that a high-ranking Roman has a considerable understanding of.

The legs of the Romans are very short, so Rome didn’t have the idea of ​​occupying Sabbath from the very beginning. Besides, after occupying the Mediterranean Sea, the life is already very good. Except for the low proportion of citizens, everything else is pretty good. Not bad, the Mediterranean climate is very suitable for survival.

Therefore, regarding the disposal of Sabbath, Rome's decision from the very beginning was to wash it all, to wash it bare, to take away everything that can be taken away, and to leave what cannot be moved away.

Of course, in order to avoid troublesome things like Persia and Anxi from growing in this place, the Romans thought it would be better to introduce some other races.

At least in this way, there will be all kinds of messy conflicts in this place for a long time, so that it is impossible to grow an empire that can threaten Rome.

Anyway, the Roman Empire had short legs, and it was unlikely that it would really run across the Zagros Mountains to rule. To be honest, being able to occupy the Mesopotamia and farming with peace of mind is considered a good Roman rule.

In fact, if the Mesopotamia was not so fertile, and the Parthian Empire was always stalking, and crazily raising the price of silk, making Rome disgusting, Rome would not have made up its mind to kill the country and let everyone The land of the whole empire went to grow grass.

If the Han Empire can be introduced now, at least Ganassis thinks it is good, because the Han Empire is far enough away, just like Rome, they are a little weak after reaching out, so that the two sides can neither conflict nor suppress this area. place, no other strange country grows.

Of course, there is also an ultra-long-distance border with the Han Dynasty. Without middlemen, the price of silk will drop sharply. Besides, an empire was finally destroyed. In the end, due to the problem of the limit of rule, the long grass was abandoned, and finally it was occupied by the locals. If a trouble arises, Rome is also quite embarrassed.

In this case, it is good to give it to a potential ally who will not cause trouble for the family. Anyway, it is not their own thing, and there is no need to feel distressed if it is lost. The Romans are so realistic.

To be honest, this is also a problem that actually occurred after Severus was destroyed in history.

Conquering Sabbath is really not a problem for Severus, who represents the pinnacle of Roman military affairs. To be precise, according to the strength of the troops and the size of the army, Severus should be able to win both Sabbaths.

But the problem is that after Severus killed Anxi, due to the shortness of Rome's legs, the newly conquered Anxi territory could not be ruled at all, which led to the rise of Ardashir later.

Speaking of the fact that Rome won’t be able to occupy Sabbath, it’s not that no one can see it, but at that time, Severus and the upstarts promoted by Severus needed military merits, and on the other hand, the powerful military power that overdrawn the country’s finances needed a target. , the same operation of the country also requires a lot of fiscal revenue.

In the end, knowing that Anxi could not be occupied if it was defeated, Severus decisively destroyed Anxi. Relying on the wealth accumulated for hundreds of years in the entire Anxi, Rome's almost illegal military strength was able to maintain for more than ten years.

The strength of the full thirty-three regular legions, even in the classical era, not counting auxiliary soldiers, only regular armies, few countries had such military strength, this was Rome at that time.

Anyway, there is still a next home now. Anyway, the Han Dynasty agrees to disagree with the covenant. In the end, Rome will directly lose the millions of square kilometers of land east of Media to the Han Dynasty.

At most, after forming an alliance, the two parties will negotiate on this, and Rome will recognize the delivery and use it as part of the covenant to consolidate the friendship between the two parties.

If there is no alliance, the Romans will turn a blind eye to occupy this place secretly in the end, but relatively speaking, there will be some legal and moral problems, but these of the empire are just talking to the empire.

"East of Midia." Li Jue sighed after hearing the words. Rome is still so majestic. Li Yuan handed over to the three generals of Xiliang. , the position of Midia has basically reached the limit of its rule.

Going further to the west belongs to the kind of fighting down. After occupying one, it is very likely to lose it because of tastelessness. Or, like the Han and Tang Dynasties, when it was strong, it relied on deterrence to station a legion at random and surpass the extreme wall of the empire. The position can still be occupied, and when it is weak, don't mention it, it is nonsense without the support of the empire behind it.

Chen Xi wants to build a cultural circle, to prosper the entire cultural circle, to the extent that the Quartet aspires to it. Naturally, it must be built according to local specifications. That is to say, since it is occupied, it must be the same as in China. , When roads are built, roads are built, water conservancy plans are planned, water conservancy plans are planned.

This means that Chen Xi will basically not do this if he passes east of Midia and exceeds the limits of his rule. Similarly, if Sizhao City crosses the west of the Ural Mountains, the Han Dynasty will definitely not vote. Pennies, even loans, must be collateral in kind.

The reason is very simple. If you cast it there, if you can’t occupy it, all of them will be in vain, and it will also cheapen the enemy. Therefore, Midea is almost the bottom line of Chen Xi’s psychology. Of course, from the midline of Midea to the Zagros Mountains There is also a land of more than one million square kilometers.

Even based on Chen Xi's understanding of some strange families in the Han Dynasty, maybe after he was entrusted there, he found that this place tends to be poor and poor, so he would very likely row a boat from the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Peninsula to see what was beyond the rule of the Han Dynasty. What is the area in the range like, and then try to touch the high-quality land outside the range.

Even some families with shipbuilding capabilities will run away from the Persian Gulf in all likelihood, and even go to Africa in all directions. There are definitely not a few such families. Whoever invests money is mentally retarded.

In short, Chen Xi implemented a one-size-fits-all approach in this regard for the first time, using Midia as the dividing line. After this point, whoever wants to invest in construction will not be able to borrow a penny from him, and the road construction is all done by himself. Throw money to fix it.

To the east of Midia, Chen Xi will provide certain material subsidies and even certain policies, whether it is for infrastructure construction, other business circles, or alliances.

Therefore, when Rome mentioned Media, Li Jue immediately felt that Rome was still as sincere as before, and it would give it millions of square kilometers of land.

"You are still as grand as before." Li Jue said with emotion.

"It also depends on who you communicate with. It's not interesting to go around with you, are you right?" Ganassis said with a smile. If Li Jue didn't fool him, he wouldn't fool Li Jue either.

Li Jue nodded when he heard the words. These people from Xiliang don’t like to go around in circles. It’s a simple matter. There’s no need to make both parties unhappy. Hurry up, save everyone.

"It can be seen that you are already thinking about whether to form an alliance." Ganassis looked at Li Jue's expression and said with determination.

"In this situation, it's normal for me to think about your sincerity. Speaking of which, if it's just me, I'd nod now, but this time it won't work." Li Jue looked at Ganassis and said bluntly, The other party has given enough face, and he is willing to confess.

"Haha, brother, you are indeed an honest person." Ganassis laughed when he heard Li Jue's words. This time, even if he didn't ask the officials of the execution office, he knew that Li Jue was telling the truth.

"What kind of honest person, I just feel that you have even handed over your hole cards, and I shouldn't hide anything." Li Jue curled his lips and made a debauched look, "I don't like going around in circles, I am a general, and I don't like those twists and turns."

"Like me, those people in the Senate have to test their words layer by layer. It's meaningless. Simple things have to go around in circles." Ganassis nodded and said yes, even if he became a Duke, he still Maintained the style of many warriors.

"So we have to listen to their orders." Li Jue smiled wantonly, they don't have much brains, and they are unwilling to use their brains, after all, there is such a person who handles everything.

"Yeah, you have to listen to their instructions, but that's okay, knowing your own shortcomings and letting others make up for them is the way a group operates." Ganassis came over and sat down with Li Jue, pouring wine for the two of them Said, "Marquis Chiyang, how about telling the truth?"

"What's the matter?" Li Jue looked at Ganassis with a serious face while holding his wine glass, and his expression regained his dignity. He and Ganassis are personal friends, and state affairs are state affairs after all.

"What do you think is the probability of our covenant being fulfilled?" Ganassis looked at Li Jue and asked, "We Rome is very sincere. Seeing what you mean, you actually don't reject us, and you can also act as a Representative of the Han Empire, then do you think this matter is possible, since neither of us are envoys, so there is no need for those foolish words, as far as you feel."

"Ganassis, do you know where our covenant is stuck?" Li Jue said with a sigh.

"I don't know." Ganassis shook his head, he had to know that he must find a way to unblock it now.

"It's stuck with me, and I renewed the contract with Anxi." Li Jue said helplessly, "It's not yet time to cancel, although because of what happened this time, I have been seriously shaken and want to cancel it, After all, if it is not lifted, it will be a thorn, but after thinking about it, it is better to lift it, legally and morally, it is better."
