Sweep the World

When Luhmaru Jiduo's head fell to the ground, and the headless body spurted blood from the neck, all the Jiduoro people were actually stunned.

Waiting for Ma Bin to walk over and raise Luhmaru Jiduo's head, the Jiduoro people at the scene still failed to react.

The expressions on the faces of these princes, nobles and hundred officials sent by Jiduo Luo were very wonderful, incomprehensible, unbelievable... almost all of them were bewildered.

"You, you!" Mushatiro Jiduo was about to have an attack, but when he pressed his hand to the hilt of the sword, he heard Ma Bin recite Luhmaru Jiduo's accusation. He is one of the people who knows Luhmaru’s plans, and he himself opposes doing so: "..."

Regardless of the Han Empire’s true intentions towards Jidala, the Han Empire did indeed send troops to rescue Peshawar in danger.

Not only did the Han army come, they did not sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, until the Sassanid siege party showed signs of decline or Peshawar fell, and they launched an offensive when they came.

No matter from which aspect, the Han army showed an authentic side.

Luhmaru. How much do you send? Standing in his status as the Lord of Jidoruo, there is nothing wrong with those actions for him. He just wanted to guarantee the authority that the country master should have and retain the influence of the Jiduo royal family.

To talk about what Luhmaru Yuduo was wrong about, it was that he did not recognize the reality at all, and that Yuduoro was really too weak.

At the same time, Luhmaru Jiduo thought of the Han Empire too simply, and didn't even know that the Han army who was going abroad, whether it was the pre-Han or the current Han Empire, killed not only hundreds but dozens of kings.

For the commanding figures of the Han Empire, just a charge of disrespecting the Han Empire is enough, and there is no need even to have any real evidence.

"No respect for the king, no piety to serve the emperor!" Ma Bin also raised Luhmaru Jiduo's head high, minding that the dripping blood splashed on his boots and trousers: "Incitation of military and civilian hostility. Master Han, I really don’t know the number of days. His death was stupid!"

The current Han army, from Li Tan to an ordinary soldier, no one has any special mood swings.

In their view, isn't it just killing some kind of country lord? The Han Empire wiped out the Western Regions, and the number of similar kings killed was in the dozens. What is so special about Jidara, or what surprises them when killed in public?

The Han army on the palace square just surrounded Jiedoruo’s nobles and hundreds of officials in an instant, and surrounded Jiedoruo’s soldiers to disarm them. However, if they encountered resistance, they would be killed directly. Grind.

In the city wall area and other places, these places do not know what happened on the palace square. It's just that the Han army in these places has entered the Jǐng precept state a long time ago. Once the order they receive changes, they can fight back on their own without asking for instructions.

"Musatello." Ma Bin walked to Mushatello about three meters in front of Jiduo, and said with a smile: "You are Uncle Wang, can you have a candidate for the heir to the throne?"

Mushatiro Jiduo is actually frightened and angry now, that is, Luhmaru Jido deserves to die, but Luhmaru Jido is the lord of a country after all, and he is still a popular and popular person. How do the Han people kill the country lord loved by the nobles?

"..." Musa Diluo Jiduo originally thought that the Han army would slaughter the princes and nobles and hundreds of officials in order to achieve the goal of exterminating Jiduo. He had already made up his mind to violently resist. When he was about to start his hands, he was asked by Ma Bin, but he couldn't react to it in an instant: "This..."

"The crime of Luhmaru is a private crime." Ma Bin did not make any expressions of amiable joy. On the contrary, he said very seriously: "The official is actually for the good of your country. With the power of the big man, no Will tolerate a country master with a ghost in his heart, especially if the country master incites his people to be hostile to the big man. He died, Ji Duolu survived. He lived... Ji Duo Luo was destroyed by the big man one day. This truth does not need to be explained by the officer. ."

"Indestructible country?" Musa Diluo Jiduo still held the hilt of the knife, but was no longer so desperate. He kept changing his face, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and said: "The master of the country...may not be the heir of the master of the old country?"

"This official doesn't care." Ma Bin really doesn't want to worry about it: "You can discuss it by yourself. It's best to mention a few more candidates for the ruling of the Lord."

The Han army was still sitting in a circle, but they didn't stop the nobles and the princes of Jiduoluo from getting together for a discussion.

Ma Bin did not lose Luhmaru's first level. He even sent someone a cloth that could be wrapped. He would do the necessary treatment later, such as sprinkling lime on it, and then send someone to Jilongpo. .

"These barbarians, don't lose their heads and don't wake up." Li Tan didn't have any mood swings from beginning to end. He killed three kings in the Western Regions by himself. The lord of the small country has long since killed him. He hasn't killed one yet. The general of the great powers feels refreshed: "It's a bit wasteful to kill only one person."

Before, Li Tan had already swung his army to let part of the Han army enter the palace. It didn't matter whether it would cause bloodshed or something. To control it, the "brain" of a country was tightly controlled.

There is no military order for looting, but the Han army cannot rob. That is why Li Tan would say waste.

"This small country... is very poor." Ma Bin saw it with his own eyes: "The so-called treasury, a few boxes of gold coins and jewels, except for weapons and armor."

Li Tan curled his lips, an unhappy expression appeared on his face.

It is not how greedy Li Tan, as the chief general of the Han Empire, is that what the Han army pays attention to is expenditure and revenue. Military operations that have no revenue but expenditure are regarded as losses. In recent years, the Han army has not suffered losses. In the war in China, even if there is no oil, you have to scrape the ground three feet to get some oil and water out.

The army's profits are not completely swallowed up by themselves, it is the soldiers who get 40% of their own profits, and 60% is handed over to the army. The army is able to retain 10% of those gains, and the remaining 50% will be turned over to the national treasury.

In some respects, the reputation of the Han Empire is so bad, and the military definitely has to bear sixty-seven of them!

But, the emperor doesn't care about the reputation of the country, what he wants is benefits.

The army has benefited from it, and it has developed full of enthusiasm and maintained a strong combat effectiveness.

The military is made up of people, and those soldiers basically have relatives, and the property sent back is obtained by relatives, and relatives spend it again.

In this way, not only will the military be profitable, but in fact, the consumption of the military will also stimulate the economy of various places. When the economy is stimulated, people will be attracted to put into production, and the country will be able to collect taxes when there is a transaction.

There is such a cycle of precious metals. It can be said that there are definitely not one or two groups that get benefits. Who will complain if there are benefits?

If the army seized horses, cattle, sheep, and other livestock, it would actually reduce the price of the Han Empire's livestock, and at the same time, it would make eating meat no longer so extravagant.

For example, after the Battle of Hetao and Hexi in the Western Han Dynasty, almost everyone in Guanzhong benefited from it. Similar things happened continuously in the Han Empire. Knowing that foreign wars have dividends, either interests are damaged or their brains are broken. Why don't you oppose the war?

Location, Longjipo.

Xie An received the report on the third day after the results appeared in Peshawar.

Kill a country lord? Xie An just glanced at it and didn't have any thoughts about it. Anyway, he killed him. The report also mentioned some of Luhmaru's deeds. If the people over there did not kill, it was a negligence.

The camp on Jilongpo is in a state of being cleaned up, and it seems that the number of garrisons is not too much.

The follow-up troops drawn from the mainland have already had two standing armies returned to the shogunate of the Western Expeditions, and at the same time they brought 40,000 county soldiers and nearly 100,000 servants of the Western Regions.

To the north of Jilongpo, that is, the partial division led by Dou'a, they said that they would go to war with the Yulin Army at about the same time, but after reaching the West High Car, they rushed into the air.

Of course, the Han army knew that Xigao Che was migrating across the country, but the main force of Xigao Che was still in the country and chose to be stationed on the edge of the desert, looking like it was waiting for the Han army to fight.

The Han army in Dou'a didn't immediately pounce on it, because it had to go through the desert, and then it was not ready yet. Once it was killed, even if it was a victory, it would suffer heavy losses.

The evacuation of the main force of the Xigao car still did not escape the eyes of the Han army scouts. The reason why Doua chased after him was nothing more than an act of grabbing land.

Doua did not leave any garrison troops along the way. It entered the territory of Xigao Che and kept heading west. His posture was to chase the main force of Xigao Che. It would naturally be a big battle if it could catch up. Sassan's transit was circuitous, and the main force of the shogunate invaded Sassan from another direction.

At the same time, the Habayashi army has entered a state of war with the main Sassanian forces, that is, the number of Habayashi army is only a quarter of the main Sassanian forces, and the construction of the main Sassan forces is not like Peshawar. In a short time There is no possibility of a breakthrough, it is entering a stalemate.

Excluding the servant army, Xie'an currently has a total strength of 170,000 troops. There are five standing troops alone, including the Habayashi Army, which has a standing army with three standing troops.

The Han Empire has not dispatched more than three standing armies for many years, usually at the level of "division", and only dispatched two standing armies to defeat the first power in the three continents.

It can be said that the Han Empire still faces the Sassanid Empire-level country very squarely. Five standing troops were dispatched for the first march after the war.

"General." Wang Quan said with a smile: "General Huan landed from the coast of Sasanian, did he scare Sasanian?"

According to the news from the Western Expeditionary Shogunate, Sassan was supposed to gather at least half a million troops, and regardless of how elite the half million troops are, just hearing the number of half a million is an exaggeration.

If it is from other countries, Xie An will think it is nonsense after receiving the news, but if it is Sassan, there is nothing surprising.

The Persians have their own historical background in playing violent soldiers. It is said that in the Darius era hundreds of years ago, they could assemble an army of 600,000 to 700,000. It is unreasonable that they will live and go back more and more.

What Xie An knew was that the 200,000 Sassanid army that was supposed to be transferred to the eastern battlefield was temporarily taken off the coast, which shows how much Shapur II paid attention to the expeditionary fleet led by Huan Wen.

"General Huan’s mission is to attack Rome, and attacking Sasanian is just training troops." Xie Ai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Our attack on Sasanian is not just to destroy the country once, but to eliminate more Sassanian troops. Huan. What the general did..."

The Han Empire is strong, and the Sassanian may not be weak. The Han army can defeat the Sassanid army, but if you can say that the vast Sassanian can be wiped out once, even the most arrogant Han people do not have that confidence. .

The war between the empire and the empire cannot be a war that will lead to a final victory. In fact, it is a confrontation again and again. Not only does it eliminate the opponent's army and active power as much as possible, but it also consumes the opponent's national power.

How long did Rome fight Parthia? How many times have you fought a battle that can be defined as annihilating the country? If the total number of soldiers lost on the battlefield on both sides is fully counted, the total is definitely more than three million.

Parthia’s own internal forces are still behind, and then the national strength is really hard to support to continue the war. It just so happens that Rome has encountered Augustus who does not consider the hidden dangers of the rapid expansion of the army at all, or even Parthia. The internal affairs are out of money again. If Rome were to follow the steps, the outcome of the war would still not appear so quickly.

"The center has long been arrogant." Xie An didn't mind revealing: "The war between the big man and Sassanid, the first ten years will probably be a kind of cannibalization, and there is not a single time to eliminate Sassan's ideas."

The Han Empire can’t bear the pressure of destroying Sassan at one time. It’s not other pressures, but Sassan’s how to say it is also a vast empire with a population of 70 to 80 million. It means to use Sassan’s military power at once. Sexually wiped out, and penetrated the entire Sassanian territory, so then it's over?

It won't be done so easily! It can even be said that ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ is the real beginning of the difficulty after the disintegration of Aldahir's rule over Sassan.

"The native land of Dahan is too far from Sassan..." Xie An's expression became slightly weird: "Even if there is no burden and loss of food transportation, other difficulties are not small."

There will be casualties in the war, and the source of troops must be supplemented.

The war also involves the consumption of equipment, which is also transported from the mainland.

Then road construction has become a necessary matter. The key is that even from the local Anxi Duhufu to Jilongpo, it will take more than two thousand miles, which means that only one military channel must be built. Thousands of miles.

There are many more terrible aspects. For the first time, it was impossible for the Han empire to enlist the military to allow the Han people to build roads thousands of miles away. Secondly, the roads needed tools and materials.

In this way, even if the Western Expeditionary Shogunate can capture prisoners of war and become labor force for road repair, the materials will always be shipped, right?

Thinking about the importance of military channels, and then struggling with all kinds of difficulties, it is not difficult to guess why the center has formulated an engagement plan for the preparatory period ten years ago.
