Sweep the World

The battle between the Han and Huns lasted for more than 130 years. The time it took to fight for so long is definitely not how weak the Han Empire is, or how strong the Huns are. Apart from the fact that the grasslands are too big and wide, apart from fighting against each other. , The absence of obvious landmarks is even more of a huge hassle.

At that time, the territory of the Han Empire was less than that of the Huns. The total population from the Han Empire to the Liu Che period was about 50 million. The territory extends from the edge of the grassland in the north (Inner 1 Mongolia and 1 ancient area), west to the Southwest Peninsula (in Myanmar), east to the East China Sea, and south to Zhanghai (South 1). Ocean). The population of the Huns in their heyday was about 2 million, but the territory of the Huns was terribly large, from the North Sea (Lake Baikal) to the north, Xianbei Mountain (Great Xing'an Mountains) to the east, the entire Western Regions to the west, and the Great Wall to the south. . If you really want to compare, the territory of the Xiongnu is about twice that of the Western Han Dynasty at that time.

In fact, the Han Empire and the Xiongnu were the second of the four largest empires in the world at that time. The other two empires were Rome and the Seleucid Empire (recorded in the Central Plains History as a branch).

Needless to say Rome, the Seleucid Empire is a country dominated by Persians, and there are Syrians, Egyptians, Armenians, and many other ethnic groups, but the ruler of the Seleucid Empire is of Macedonian descent. The Greeks are also the ruling class, because the Seleucid Empire is actually one of the "legacy" of the Macedonian King Alexander after the Eastern Expedition.

It should be that not long before Liu Che annexed Nanyue, Minyue, Dongou, Yelang, Ailao, and Yunnan, the Persians overthrew the Seleucid Empire and the Parthian Kingdom (that is, rest) was established. A kingdom called Greece-Bactria also became independent from the Seleucid Empire. Seleucid became a kingdom with only a few provinces in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, and was no longer able to bear the name of the empire.

The previous four empires only the Roman Empire still exists, but Rome is also split into two parts. The former Parthian Empire was replaced by the Sassanid Empire, and the Han Empire was buried in the dust of history.

It’s actually strange to say that the earth is so big, but those powerful empires are not the only countries that have suffered turmoil many times. For example, when the Central Plains suffered large-scale attacks by the prairie Hus, Rome would also encounter the Germans and Goths. A group of barbarians headed by humans invaded. The historian's explanation is that regardless of whether the Humen or the barbarians invaded those empires, they were forced to migrate to warmer regions under the influence of the cold climate.

Liu Yan has paid special attention to the current climate. According to academic explanation, it is a Little Ice Age. The closer the area is to the North Pole, the colder it is.

"So, the Hu people are resistant to retreat to the grassland?" Liu Yan discussed with the ministers just now about the counterattack of Shijie, Zhao Guo and Murong Xianbei, and also talked about the climate issue. He was looking at the map, which was a big map depicting the territories of multiple countries: "Their counterattack is to contain our army's northward movement?"

"Yes, Lord." Ji Chang said with great certainty: "The grassland has been suffering from white disasters. This is the news from the interrogation of prisoner Zhai Bin."

Zhai Bin is one of the tribal kings of the Gaoche tribal alliance. Gaoche has two tribal alliances. The one on the west is called Western Gaoche, and the one on the east is naturally called Eastern Gaoche. The two Gaoche often fight for pastures and wars. Zhai Bin took the tribe to Shijiezhao when the ranch was seized. country. There is also a Rouran tribal alliance beside the Gaoche tribal alliance in the east. Whether it was Dong Gao Che or Xi Gao Che, including the Rouran Alliance, they were all destroyed by the rapidly rising Turkic people.

The Gaoche Tribe Alliance is a force dominated by the Dingling people. They are entrenched in the Mobei area. According to Zhai Bin’s explanation, it starts to snow every fall, and there is bound to be a blizzard in the winter, causing the West Gaoche Tribe Alliance to invade a man called Yue. (Descendants of the Northern Huns), the Donggao Che League is also constantly invading the Rouran tribal alliance.

The terrain painting of that big map was not completely prepared, but it did marked up all the countries and forces that he knew, including the two known forces of the High Car Alliance. On such a large map, Han really seems to be too small in its territory, and it can be regarded as Liu Yan's use to spur his ministers and workers.

"In this case, Shihu will not retreat into the grassland easily." Sangyu didn't know the two tall cars or Rouran before. After seeing the map, he made a new judgment: "Not only because of the weather, Shijie If you want to lead the crowd to retreat into the grassland, you have to face high cars."

Knowing how big the world is, how high his horizons will be. Liu Yan is using facts to tell the ministers and workers that the Central Plains is definitely not the world. Apart from the Central Plains, there are vast territories. Even if it is done, the goal should be to destroy all known countries and create an unprecedented empire.

"The Han Dynasty invaded south, Shi Hu and Murong Jai should think it is very appropriate to counterattack at this time." Sang Yu said, but gave Liu Yan a vague look, and then said after a pause: "Although there is a situation for the Hu people to counterattack. Predictably, the front of the big man is really...too many."

Liu Yan was the main leader of the Han army's southward invasion. Ji Chang, the prime minister who relied on the will of the king in everything, did not have any advice. Sang Yu had repeatedly advised him in advance, but it was a pity that he was not accepted.

Any country is trying its best to avoid fighting on two fronts. Even the strongest country will choose to open a new front after solving its current opponents. The Han country ruled by Liu Yan dates back to when there was only one county. Just maintain multiple fronts, and after the nation is truly established, there will be more fronts.

Liu Yan laughed a few times, "Hehe", it was difficult to explain to Sang Yu.

It was the reality that forced Han to fight on multiple fronts. After all, from the beginning, Han was not accepted by other countries in the world. How could those countries allow Han to solve them one by one? It must be swarmed. Facing the crowd, should Liu Yan avoid?

"Fu Hong led the masses to go north, and the Liang army did not stop it." Ji Chang pointed his finger at the location of Zhang's Liang Country on the map: "If you want to come, the Di tribe cedes Longxi to Liang Country? So, Liang Country. It must be an agreement with Shijie."

Come on, the Han Kingdom is already at war with Shijie Zhao Kingdom, Murong Yan Kingdom, and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. These three are the most powerful countries in the east of the world. If one of the three is "moved" to Europa or Central Asia , It is definitely enough to drink a pot for the Romans and Sassanids.

Zhang's National Assembly was put on the hostile list, and Tuoba Daiguo, a country that has actually begun to conflict, is facing five regional powers with one country.

A map of mountains and rivers was replaced. The map of mountains and rivers is used for marching operations, which is different from ordinary maps. The map of mountains and rivers only draws the countries and forces surrounding Han, such as Gaoche, Rouran, Tuyuhun, Wusun, Yueban, Linyi, Funan, etc., which are not included.

"There are Shijie on the front line of Bingzhou, Murong Xianbei in Youzhou, Di and Liangjun in Guanzhong..." Ji Chang deliberately clicked on those locations: "There is bound to be war in the three regions."

"Maybe Liang Kingdom reached a reconciliation with Shi Jie, and joined forces..." Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Is it possible?"

"Everything is determined by the worst result." Ji Chang's unchanging death face for thousands of years pulled a ugly smile even if he had laughed: "Go for the best result."

"The Northern Expedition Corps should be split up." Sang Yu said bluntly: "The area under General Zhengbei's responsibility is too large. Then only Shijie counterattack should focus on parrying, and Jizhou and Guanzhong should be re-assigned."

Lu Tai was in the military tent. After his field regiment was cancelled, it turned out to be the southern transfer to participate in the invasion of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, at that time, Shi Jie ceded Jizhou and Youzhou to Murong Yan. He was temporarily included in the shogunate of the Northern Expedition Corps and stayed in Jizhou to direct the war, waiting for the affairs over there to be processed before he came to Xiangguo to report on his duties.

"Heng'an has been fighting in Jizhou for a long time, and he is most familiar with Murong Xianbei." Heng'an in Sangyu's mouth is Lu Tai. He saluted Liu Yan who didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Heng'an can return to Jizhou to preside over the war."

Liu Yan thought about how to distribute the strength of the Imperial Guard. Now his "number" has increased to 70,000. In order to support the consumption of national power, nearly 30,000 are used for production. Five thousand are used on warships, and the remaining ten thousand are used as emergency. Fifteen thousand were in the Northern Expedition Corps, and another ten thousand were in the Southern Invader Corps.

For non-essential moments in the recent past, Liu Yan actually no longer uses system troops. It’s not that the system troops are not easy to use. On the contrary, the system troops are too easy to use. It may cause the non-system troops to be overly dependent and be abolished. He has to use it with caution~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Guanzhong can designate Ruicai as the main general. The Habayashi army is the main force. "Sang Yu had already stood on the edge of the mountains and rivers map, and the wise man he was talking about was Li Tan. He saw Liu Yan look over, and then continued: "The main force of the Yulin army combined with the original garrison is enough to cope. "

"If you want to split the Northern Expedition Corps..." Ji Chang glanced at Sang Yu deeply. He was not completely in favor of Sang Yu's obvious suppression of Ran Min, but the situation changed and the Northern Expedition Corps really had to be split up: " General Zhengbei should be called to Wang Nian first."

Sang Yu's is indeed suppressing Ran Min, out of public, but selfishness is not small. Sangyu represents the family of the Central Plains. With the restoration of more and more areas in the Han Dynasty, the conflict between his interest group and the interest group represented by Ran Min has become more and more recent.

Liu Yan is the one who makes the final decision. The ministers and industry leaders should deal with it. He just listened to the decision and won't immediately make a decision. Of course he noticed that Sang Yu was a bit public revenge, but he didn't care too much.

Does Liu Yan care if it is not out of the emperor's heart, like what is beneficial to the royal family by fighting each other between ministers and workers. Just as he was considering how to use the Imperial Guards, after the restoration of the old land of the Han family, these people still don't know how many of them should be arranged to continue to fight abroad, not just to live in peace and live in a nest.
