Chapter 766: Tit for tat
“… …”
Li Shimin felt terrible when he saw the Black Armor Army, who were fully armed in heavy armor, being knocked down by a group of unarmed guards on the opposite side.
He always thought that he had a good level of training, but today when he bumped into someone else, he fell down so quickly.
“…”
On the other side, Ganasis wiped his sweat cautiously, finally regaining a little face. It was a pity that the Roman Empire lost all its face because of this trip.
"Hahaha, the Duke's personal guards are very strong. There's no need to be like this, second brother. Victory and defeat are common in the military. The Black Armor Army has never been to the battlefield, so how can they compete with the Duke's personal guards!" Li Jiancheng said with a smile without blushing or panting.
With Li Jiancheng livening up the atmosphere, both sides quickly got out of their own thoughts.
In the subsequent exchanges, both sides were obviously much more natural. After learning from each other's level, they were indeed more relaxed when chatting.
During this period, Ganasis and Li Jiancheng naturally praised their respective countries. On the one hand, it was to maintain the country's image, and on the other hand, they hoped to obtain .
"Mr. Duke has traveled far and wide and has a wide range of knowledge. I wonder if he knows what the world is like?" Li Shimin brought up a topic inadvertently.
Ganasis' heart suddenly shuddered. What did this mean?
"I have never been abroad, so I hope Mr. Duke will give me some advice. Which forces on this continent should we pay attention to?" Li Shimin asked actively.
"The Kushan Empire relies on the power of gods and Buddhas to rule over one side. Its national strength is strong, and its naval fleet is unimpeded. This is one of them!" Ganasis was unsure of Li Shimin's intention, and tentatively mentioned the name of Kushan.
"The Great Yuezhi were vassal states of the Han Dynasty. General Guan led his detachment straight to Huanglong and approached the Kushan capital. It was truly embarrassing to watch!" Li Shimin commented with disdain.
Although he did not go abroad to fight, it did not prevent him from discriminating against the Kushans, who were just a small vassal state and were not worth mentioning.
Changsun Wuji, who was standing by, silently recorded Ganasis's every word and action in his mind, which were all materials worth analyzing.
Ganasis raised his eyebrows. He understood what Li Shimin meant. It seemed that the Han Dynasty had granted him the right to explore independently, and this man was willing to go out and explore and work hard.
After figuring out the whole story, Ganasis felt much more at ease.
Since he wants to listen, he will tell it all and feel out the attitude of the Han Dynasty.
Many times, a person's attitude towards a thing can reflect his or her level.
"The Parthian Empire, which has survived a hundred years of war, is the most powerful empire in Central Asia. It is the second most powerful empire," Ganasis continued.
"Parthia is like a frozen insect that can't freeze to death. It has been through a hundred years of war but has not yet turned defeat into victory. It has even become an enemy of the Han Dynasty. Sooner or later, the general will lead his army to kill it."
Li Shimin was even more disdainful. They knew a lot about the situation of Parthia or the Parthian Empire. A country whose capital had been invaded several times had no dignity at all. Although they had fought with Xu Rong and others last time and performed very well, considering the overall situation of the country, Li Shimin did not take Parthia seriously at all.
He even had a vague idea of leading his troops to Parthia and establishing himself in Parthia.
After all, compared with the Kushan Empire in Japan, Parthia, which is full of rebels, is obviously more likely to allow them to fish in troubled waters.
"The Huns, who roam the land freely, can be ranked third!" Ganasis continued with his eyes narrowed. He found that the Han Dynasty seemed to be more arrogant than he had imagined!
"How dare a defeated dog claim to be strong? The Xiongnu royal court was destroyed, the inheritance was cut off, and they have become the dead souls under the iron hoof of the Han Dynasty. How dare you claim to be strong?"
This time, not only Li Shimin, but even Li Jiancheng showed disdain.
Were the Huns strong? Of course they were!
But now the grass on the Huns' graves is three feet high, so they can't just talk nonsense. They can't expect the Huns to crawl out of the graves and attack them.
"The British Empire, which is a combination of Northern Europe, Greece, Sparta and other countries, occupies the northern plains, has elite soldiers and generals, has a legacy of epic songs and ballads, and can even invite gods to descend to the world. This is the fourth!"
Speaking of the Han Dynasty's allies, Li Shimin was speechless for a moment. The relations with those countries were not very good before, so of course they could brag as much as they wanted. However, Great Britain was one of the real and certified allies, so they naturally had to be more cautious in their words.
"Oh? Li, you seem to be afraid to speak?"
Ganasis felt a little relieved. It was reasonable to take this into consideration. If the Han Dynasty really didn't even take Great Britain seriously, then Ganasis should consider whether to form alliances.
With such a powerful first empire surviving in the world, I'm afraid everyone would toss and turn and have no sleep.
"The British Empire, I've been there before, why not let you tell me about it?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiancheng passed the ball to Ma Chao who was eating and drinking at the side.
"Huh? Great Britain? It's quite strong, at least stronger than the empires you just mentioned, but that's just how it is!" Ma Chao scratched his head and recalled, then said lightly.
"You Romans are at odds with them, so why are you praising them so much?"
"If the enemy we have not yet conquered is incompetent, then we will be even more incompetent!" Ganasis shook his head and said with a smile.
"It's us who are so reckless!" Li Shimin chuckled and turned the page.
"The Han Dynasty is indeed qualified to say so. After all, the Xiongnu has been destroyed, and the Han Dynasty has the right to be proud!"
"Oh? Then why not talk about your Rome? Ichino's Sixth Triumph wouldn't rank sixth in your country, would it? I don't think he's as strong as your personal guards!"
Ma Chao put down the food in his hand and asked in a deep voice, it is not the turn of any nobody to comment on the Han Dynasty.
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were a little surprised to see the usually cheerful Ma Chao become serious. To be honest, they had never seen Ma Chao like this before, and their previous evaluation of Ma Chao was completely overturned.
"My Roman Empire has a million soldiers under armor, and 33 legions of eagles are stationed on the land. We have conquered Great Britain, conquered Parthia, fought the Huns, and destroyed the Holy Empire. How do you think?"
Ganasis stood up with the wine glass in his hand and spoke loudly, his words full of pride for the Roman Empire.
"Our Han dynasty also led a million soldiers to destroy the Xiongnu in the north, pacify Goryeo, conquer the Kushan Empire in the south, conquer Parthia in the west, and conquer Japan in the east. We have conquered the world without losing!"
Ma Chao also stood up with a wine glass in his hand and sang aloud, equally full of pride for the Han Empire.
"Here's a toast to you. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I can spare your life!" Ganasis' eyes were sharp and full of decisiveness.
"I won't hold back in the future!" Ma Chao showed a confident smile, then drank it all in one gulp, turned around and left.
"Brother Jiancheng, Brother Shimin, please leave as soon as possible. How can you have lofty ambitions when you don't know the vastness of the world?"
