Sweep the World

The current Persian Sassanid is indeed on the path of expansion under the rule of Shapur II. The new round of war between Persian Sassan and Rome was started in 337 AD. The excuse for the war was that Shapur II believed that Rome was slandering. He persecuted Christianity, and in fact, Shapur II was really persecuting Christianity. If history has not changed, Shapur II even banned the spread of Christian faith in 339 AD.

Rome is in a state of weakness at this stage, especially after the death of Augustus, the first Christian baptized by Constantine the Great (AD 337), the Persian Sassanian found a crappy reason to start a war with Rome. , And Rome itself broke out in the battle to seize the emperor, so that the war between Rome and the Persian Sassanids appeared one-sided.

In some respects, the Kushan people and Arabs in the Persian Sassanid territory rescued Rome. The reason was that large-scale rebellions broke out in Syria and Iraq, which caused the Persian Sassanids to lose control of the two regions and was once by the monarchs. Tantius counterattacked.

Last year (AD 348), the Persian Sassanian army and the Roman army fought a battle in Iraq. The two sides fought very **** in Sinkara. They ended with the victory of the Persian Sassanian army, but they failed to fully recover the war against Iraq. What is gratifying is that it occupies a lot of territory.

At present, the battle to seize the emperor in Rome is still being fought, and there is a saying of "four emperors co-ruling", but this second "four emperors co-ruling" is better than the first "four emperors co-ruling" before. "Much bloodier.

"So... that so-called Roman envoy can only represent Constantius?" Lu Yi met with Chianus Arta Aldahir the day after the formal establishment of diplomatic relations. I understand the status quo of Rome: "Can't fully represent Rome?"

"They really didn't explain." Kianusz Alta Aldahir gave some recounts on the status quo in Rome, so that he would not tell Lu Yi, for example, Constantius was the power of the emperor. The strongest one is also the person most likely to win the battle for the emperor: "A person who can only represent certain provinces, of course, cannot represent the entire country."

　　 What I have to say is that Lu Yi really didn't know what was happening in Rome. Most of his understanding of Rome came from Liu Yan's storytelling, referring to the oral narrations of some Gupta prisoners of war. Those Gupta prisoners of war did not mention that there was an outbreak of civil strife in Rome.

　　 Kianush Alta Aldahir said that those who naturally wanted the Han Empire to reduce the impression of Rome, it would be better to make the Han Empire feel deceived by the Romans. He himself would not say that his country is also breaking out of internal rebellion, especially the Arabs in the western provinces have the fiercest resistance, compared with the Guishuang people in the east, they are basically suffering from scabies.

　　 How far did the Arabs resist the Sassanid rule of Persia? It was the Persian Sassan who directly lost control of multiple provinces, but the Arabs did not establish a country. Instead, the various tribes were in their own way. It was this way that the Persian Sassan was able to defeat each one in the back.

Therefore, the earth seems to be stunned. The great empires are far away from each other, but in many cases they become chaotic. For example, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the great empires broke out internal conflicts one after another. In the Western Jin Dynasty, they were all under the ruling class. This kind of national riots, the difference is that in some countries, internal conflicts and conflicts between the nobles broke out together, and some countries are only unilateral. If you look at the history of the world, you will find that there are so many similar situations, which makes it difficult to understand how countries so far apart can "infect" each other.

　　 "Thank you for your message." Lu Yi really paid attention to the reminder of Chianus Alta Aldahir, and even really disliked the Roman envoy. He raised the wine cup and invited Kianusz Alta Aldashir to drink together. After putting down the wine cup, he said: "The great man and Persia have a long history of friendship. In view of this, it is time to cooperate more closely. "

This is what Kiyanus Alta Aldahir wanted. After discussing with his own think tank, he believed that it was impossible to form a full alliance with Han. A more rational and correct approach is to prosper first. If allowed, military cooperation will be formed in a certain area.

　　 The current main military target of the Persian Sassanids is of course their western provinces, and there is an urgent need to suppress the judgment of the Arabs.

The Arabs can only cause trouble to the Persian Sassanids. After the Romans are blended with them, they have been supporting and guiding the Arabs. As a result, it will be really difficult for the Persian Sassanids to put out the rebellion for a while, and the weakened Rome will also have legions from time to time. Approaching, whenever the Persian Sassan wanted to fight but retreated, it was difficult for the Persian Sassan to take it lightly. Fortunately, the Persian Sassan was fortunate that the Guishuang people were completely weak even though they were also rebellious.

The Han Kingdom is now advancing to the Western Regions again, but the footsteps only stopped when they arrived at Shanshan. Kianusz Alta Aldahir understood this and compared the map to find that the eastern province of Persian Sassanid Lihan The army is too far away, so I won't talk about the Western Regions in the middle, and there are also the Hunnites firmly in the middle.

It is not easy for the Persian Sassanid to meet the Han army in the east. Even if the Han army is willing to move westward, considering the relevant terrain restrictions, the Han army has to face the desert and block the way, even if it has successfully crossed the desert. It is necessary to hit the Hunets who are not weak at the first time.

　　 In fact, the Persian Sassanids did not want Han to expand into Central Asia too much. What they hoped is a country between them as a buffer, but contradictory is that they want Han to join the war against Rome. Wanting the Han army to join the war against Rome is a desire that has existed since the Parthian Empire. It is really unable to withstand the internal and external troubles of the Parthian Empire, and it doesn't matter if the Tiger Wolf is invited. What will happen.

　　 The current Persian Sassan is a bit bad, but his old opponent Rome is even worse. Everyone wants to get help from outside to gain an advantage, but fortunately, they will give a heavier blow when the opponent is bad. They will attach importance to Han. The first is that the reputation of the Han is strong enough, and the second is that the Han is far away. Even if the Han really set foot in Central Asia or Europe, it is impossible to stand firm and does not pose a substantial threat.

　　 Under the premise that the friendship will be greatly assisted and there is no real threat at all, it is profitable to form an alliance with such a country without any harm. No matter how small the opportunity is, it is worth a try.

　　 Kyanush Alta Aldahir tried repeatedly without getting any valuable reply. He still tried and tried again and again, waiting for the moment Lu Yi made an official response, he was really pleasantly surprised.

"Reliability!" Kiyanush Alta Aldashir tried to calm himself down, and said according to the strategy that he had already thought out before: "The Han Empire and Faith have broken out. Fighting Faith is also beneficial to us. It is absolutely possible to start a military cooperation there now!"

　　 Lu Yi was very satisfied with what Kiyanus Alta Aldahir said, at least the Persian in front of him was not shameless enough to use the term of helping Han, but he clearly stated that both sides are beneficial.

The war between the Han and the Gupta dynasty is of course continuing. Intelligence shows that the Gupta dynasty is preparing a second large-scale offensive. The number of ships assembled in Cutak once again reached 1,500, and the Gupta dynasty is still working hard to build warships. At the same time, the Gupta Dynasty also began its own mobilization.

In Asanyang’s Han army, the army was still stationed in the Pingman Captain’s Department for adaptability training. There was no plan to make a large-scale landing on the homeland of the Gupta dynasty in a short period of time. The navy still carried out frequent attacks and cut off the Gupta first. Dynasty sea trade, looking for opportunities to attack and even annihilate the Gupta dynasty's navy, will land operations on the agenda.

In view of the fact that the Gupta dynasty was not weak in maritime power, the Han State repeatedly provided reinforcements to the Pingman Lieutenant Department. Almost all non-systematic navies in the country were transferred. Liu Yan built quite a few system docks around the Pingman Lieutenant Department. And began to build warships, but the system warships will not immediately join the battle against the Gupta dynasty navy.

　　Because the maritime power of the countries surrounding the Zhu Xia civilization is too weak, the Han people actually have no experience in naval warfare, and more of them are fighting in the inland rivers by themselves, but the water warfare experience in the inland rivers simply does not use the sea. The Han Navy needs to accumulate more maritime combat experience, and it would be a worthwhile task to block the Gupta dynasty to gain experience.

　　 In addition, the Han country also knew that the Gupta Dynasty had a sufficient reserve of troops. Asan himself clamored to organize several million troops and was more joking, but organizing one million troops at a time seemed to be able to do it. The strength of Ah San's one million troops can only be known after fighting, but the maximum force of the Han country can hardly exceed one hundred thousand.

　　The Han invasion of the Gupta Dynasty was a cross-sea warfare. Although Liu Yan's relationship is largely a problem of not relying on cross-sea supplies, the delivery of troops is really a big problem.

　　 The Gupta Dynasty should have a population of more than 20 million, and the armed Asan will not be less than 400,000. They will not foolishly let go of the coastline to allow the Han army to land. They will inevitably set up defense lines along the coast.

　　 Huanwen is now at the landing site based on the defense observation of the Gupta Dynasty. His idea is very simple, depending on where the Gupta Dynasty has the strongest troops, it must be a suitable place for landing.

　　 It must be said that although they are all coastlines, it is true that not any place can be used as a landing point. I will not say anything about the coastal reefs. The extent of the seabed is also a reference.

There are many coastal areas, and the extension of the seabed is exaggerated. Whether it is high tide or low tide, the extended waters will not have too deep draft, so that a ship with a draft of several meters can reach close positions, which may be a kilometer away from the land. There are places far away, and similar areas are not suitable as landing points at all.

By the time of World War II, so many technological products appeared, and there were special equipment for assaulting the beach, but landing was still a huge trouble. Think about the landing in the cold weapon era on the coast where the enemy is standing. What should it look like? It should be that the landing party has to wade through the water and move hard, and suffer endless arrow attacks, and fall into pieces in the sea to become corpses.

"Naturally, we can cooperate." Lu Yi admires Kiyanush Alta Aldashir's "sensible". At present, the military cooperation between the two countries is really only on Asan's side: "Yes. Tell me about your proposal?"

Kiyanush Alta Aldashir was obviously well prepared. He first talked about the geopolitics of the Gupta dynasty, including the poor relationship between the Gupta dynasty and Vajdagarh, and then the Gupta dynasty and its neighbors. The relationship between a small country and a small country will be summarized later: "Of course, the Han Empire cutting off the sea trade routes of the trust people is useful, but it cannot prevent the trust from continuing to trade with neighboring countries. It has an impact on their finances, but it is not enough. fatal."

Then again, although the Han State broke the attack and cut off the sea trade route of the Gupta Dynasty, it was really not for this goal. It just wanted to destroy more enemy ships. Why would it hit the finances of the Gupta Dynasty, Kea? If Nuss Alta Aldahir didn't mention it, Lu Yi didn't realize it.

Of course, Zhu Xia civilization has the concept of economic war. There have been many economic wars during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, but they have been ignored after waiting for the reunification. Even if there is, some commodity restrictions are imposed on the nomads of the grassland~www .wuxiamtl.com~ It's not an economic war.

　　Lu Yi doesn't understand economic warfare, but he is not stupid. He can understand it after hearing Kianusz Alta Aldahir talk a little bit, but he has no plans to start with economic warfare.

　　 The reason why the Han country invaded the Gupta dynasty was in the final analysis for food. It was not because of the war to destroy the country from the beginning. This war was a battle of conquest. To put it bluntly, it was to fight until the Gupta dynasty yielded and was willing to accept the conditions set by the Han country, mainly for the purpose of extorting food.

　　 Of course, those words Lu Yi didn't need to speak from Yanush Alta Aldahir.

"Believe me, although the people of Faith are not strong in warfare, it is difficult to destroy them at once." Kiyanush Alta Aldahir was careful to observe Lu Yi's expression when he spoke. See Lu The meeting frowned and explained: "Reliability is a country with a population of 20 to 30 million. Because of its prosperous foreign trade, they have no obvious internal conflicts and can unite to resist when they encounter a crisis."

　　 It is really not that easy to destroy a country, especially if it is not a small country with a narrow land and few people. The demise of a great country is usually due to internal and external troubles, unable to resist externally, difficult to appease internally, and perishes the country under internal and external difficulties.

"Before coming to the Han Empire, we specially invited the Serbs (Two Satraps) and the Kushuang People (Jidoro Dynasty)." Kianush Alta Aldahir met Lu Yibu Xie said with a smile: "One of them has a border with Faith in the northwest, and the other can affect many countries even though it is a few countries away from Faith."
