Chapter 697: Storm is Coming
“Durga, when you deliver the letter, go ask the Brahmin chief priests to clean up this mess themselves!”
Rahul's mouth twitched. Durga didn't need to say anything, he understood.
Things like gods and Buddhas coming in person have happened in history before, and as a Brahmin he knows better, because usually the Brahmins bring disaster upon themselves.
Because the gods themselves were fabricated with the help of Brahma, and they are stories compiled by Brahmins. However, stories generally come from reality, and there are too many gods fabricated by Brahmins.
In addition to the priests who promote the system of gods, who knows how many gods there are, and accidents do happen often.
For example, the current Guan Yu, the setting of the god of Galan itself is quite prominent, and its source is also pieced together by Brahmin priests from ancient books, which naturally involves some ancient classics of the Han Dynasty.
After all, in this era, the beacon of civilization in Europe is Rome, and the beacon of civilization in Asia is the Han Dynasty.
When the Brahmin priests seek for reference, they naturally look through these things.
Therefore, accidents often occur sometimes. The structure of gods is rather abstract. Generally, an average value is taken based on everyone’s visualization, and then the statues are sculpted and promoted.
In this way, a fresh deity was created, and then with the help of faith, the energy of Brahma was extracted, turning the virtual into the real.
During this process, some people will reveal the same majesty or image as gods. Then, as people's concepts change, the identity of gods will naturally change.
To put it simply, Guan Yu had previously destroyed the Kushan camp and left an indelible impression on those low-caste believers.
Naturally, they associated Guan Yu with the gods they believed in .
It turned out that there were several points of overlap between Galan God and Guan Yu, and then people began to spread this view.
Afterwards, the believers of the God Galan naturally replaced the image of Guan Yu when they visualized the deity.
After Zhang Song and his colleagues discovered this, they did some simple propaganda, and the believers of the God Galan reached a consensus that Guan Yu was the God Galan.
Because there were too many people who reached a consensus, the image of the God of Galan was directly determined.
Now all the Kushan believers who visualize the God of Galan can clearly visualize the image of Guan Yu, which directly proves that Guan Yu is the God of Galan.
Even the Brahmin priests are helpless now.
There is no precedent for this. The previous accidents were either because the incarnation of the god was not powerful enough or they were handled in secret.
Or they can just be Brahmins, go with the flow, and at the same time consolidate the Brahmins' status. After all, the status of a theistic church and a non-theistic church is completely different.
The appearance of gods proves that the existence of the Brahmins is more reasonable.
But now, the person who appeared was a foreigner, and he was a super strong man, and he had a large army with him.
This means that they have no way to deal with this matter now. Either they acknowledge Guan Yu's identity as the God of Galan and cause trouble for the southern battlefield of Kushan, or they deny it and cause trouble for themselves, the Brahmins. They are in a dilemma.
They are not fools. The people of Nangui are obsessed with the Brahmanism. But if the Han Dynasty really invades and kills a few Brahmins, they, the Brahmins, will fall from the altar by then.
They certainly wouldn't hold their own people back at a time like this.
But Rahul saw that the number of troops was small, which involved the issue of drawing empty salaries and fleecing the empire, so all the Brahmins held meetings almost every day to discuss how to solve this problem.
However, before Rahul arrived, these people still had not come to a conclusion and could only continue arguing.
Rahul covered his eyes helplessly, he knew these Brahmins too well.
But he has no other choice now. Since he cannot use low-caste people to go to the battlefield, he can only use them to do other things.
"The Han Dynasty is too arrogant. Although their previous actions were shocking, do you know why they are so desperate to crush us?"
Rahul changes the subject and says softly that he is not good at playing with things like politics, but things like war are his injured toys.
As one of the few commanders who can stand at the top of the world, he is definitely not lacking in long-term strategic vision and hypothetical enemies. Before Rahul came, he had his own judgment on the Han Dynasty.
"General, do you mean that the main force of the Han Dynasty is insufficient?" Durga said tentatively. As Rahul's old subordinate, he was a little stronger than the others through words and deeds.
"That's right." Rahul's eyes sparkled.
"In a war, if you are not strong enough, you have to show your strength to your opponent. This will reduce the intensity of the war. Of course, this also needs to be based on strength."
"But I heard that the Han Dynasty has completely wiped out the Northern Huns in the north. This terrifying strength does not seem to be the lack of main force as you said, General!" Oswald retorted with a frown.
"Ah..." Rahul sighed.
"Are the Northern Huns strong?" Rahul asked.
"Of course they are strong. Both Parthia and Rome's previous battle records have proved that the Northern Huns are definitely not an ordinary kingdom force. They are enemies that pose a definite threat to the empire!" Oswald gave the answer as a matter of course.
"So how much manpower and material resources do you think the Han Dynasty will need to invest now that they have completely wiped out the Northern Huns!" Rahul patiently persuaded, saying that those present were all elites of the Southern Nobles and were worthy of his training, otherwise Rahul would not bother to explain.
"Of course they are necessary... Do you mean they are all in the north now?" Oswald reacted.
"That means, if we attack the Han Dynasty with all our strength now, we can not only take back the places we lost before, but also try to advance further south?" Durga said excitedly.
"That's roughly the case, but it's probably too late to move forward. We took action as soon as we received the news, but we can't be sure of the time when we received the news. However, it is still easy for us to get back on our feet now." Rahul said calmly.
"However, General, the other side has an army of 200,000 barbarians, including many good guards. I'm afraid our strength is still not enough!" Durga frowned and added.
"Haha, barbarians are barbarians after all, there's no need to worry about this kind of thing!"
Rahul sneered. Even the barbarians of the Roman Empire had problems with lack of organization, let alone the Han Dynasty.
The Roman Empire almost treated the barbarians as its own people, but the Han Dynasty was notoriously xenophobic. No matter how powerful those barbarians were, they were just minor troubles. After all, the battle of a large army still depended on command.
And he is one of the few top-level large army commanders
