Chapter 938 Two Years Later
Although Cheng Yu is not young anymore, he has a wild heart.
He wanted to start a war to annihilate the country, especially after understanding the overall situation of Kushan, he wanted to march from the north even more.
You know, Peshawar is located in the north.
If we attack from north to south, the distance is not short, but the straight-line distance to Peshawar is very close. If we attack with great momentum, we may be able to take Peshawar directly.
On the other hand, if you attack from south to north, the distance is very far.
As for strategic depth, the less the better.
Moreover, the capital has always been of great significance. Even if Vasudeva I cannot be killed, forcing him to move the capital can also cause indelible damage to the Kushans.
Qin Shihuang's script is not so easy to follow. Once he is defeated, he will face an extreme counterattack from the Kushan opposition forces.
Maybe the probability is very low now, but in the future, maybe the strength will be enough.
Many opportunities cannot be achieved overnight, but require accumulation. Building a road directly to Peshawar is obviously a good accumulation.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on this matter. Once I have accurate information, I'll give you an accurate reply!" Chen Xi said after thinking for a while.
The suggestion proposed by Cheng Yu is very valuable for reference. In this case, let's do a comprehensive investigation to see how much it will cost to achieve this goal from an economic perspective.
"Then I'll wait for your news. By the way, I'm not going to the south. I'm going to Pamir Mountains to do an investigation first!" Cheng Yu laughed. This was a big step.
"Cheng Zhongde, he's more into techniques, but he does a really good job!"
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and watched Cheng Yu leave. Although this suggestion was not of much help to the overall strategy, it was indeed very constructive in terms of tactics.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Some people are better at strategy, so they naturally focus on the technical level and do what they are good at. It is good for everyone!" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Like me, I can only manage the economy!"
"Everyone doing his or her job is the greatest significance of the system!" Guo Jia curled his lips.
"But since everyone has their own job, it's not appropriate for me, a strategist, to be here! I should go to a stage that suits me better!"
Without even three seconds of seriousness, Guo Jia started to act badly, trying to avoid his job.
"Do your best! Sooner or later you will go!" Chen Xi smiled and went out. In fact, sometimes he also wanted to go to the battlefield. This can be regarded as a man's romance.
"Oh?" Guo Jia was a little stunned. He thought he would have to work in intelligence until he died. Chen Xi must have found a successor.
"It's hard to say, but Jia Xu and Li Ru will be back soon, and they will take over your job!" Chen Xi said with a smile.
"That's right, now that Sikong Cao has gone, it's time for them to come back!" Guo Jia nodded in understanding.
"You have to train harder recently, because Xun Yu will go with Cao Sikong by then! No matter where you choose to go, there will be challenges!" Chen Xi showed a playful smile on his face.
There is Xun Yu in the west, Fa Zheng in the south, and Zhou Yu in the east. No matter which side Guo Jia chooses to go to, he will probably face an extremely powerful opponent.
If you want to snatch the mastermind, then you can only rely on your own means.
However, Chen Xi guessed that Guo Jia would eventually have no choice but to join Cao Cao.
Zhou Yu is like an external brain for Sun Ce, and Guo Jia cannot compete with Zhou Yu at all.
Fa Zheng and Xu Shu were Liu Bei's right-hand men. It was too difficult for Guo Jia to replace them, especially since Liu Bei was a man who relied on friendship to succeed. With equal abilities, Liu Bei would naturally prefer counselors with whom he had better relationships.
If Guo Jia wants to subdue these two people, it can only be said that there is hope in the future.
"Would I be afraid of them?" Guo Jia shouted, but his expression was solemn.
Unless he is willing to give up going out and working for intelligence until his death, he will definitely face these people in the future.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave now!"
Guo Jia decisively resigned and left. This time he did not skip work to go to the brothel, but really returned home and began to think about the future.
He planned to adjust his state and find his feeling. The brain would get rusty if not used for a long time. Although he could handle daily things easily, he had to adjust his state in advance when facing the competition from those people.
"The wind is moving!"
Chen Xi looked at the clouds outside the Government Affairs Hall and felt the surging wind and clouds. A sense of déjà vu that a war was about to break out appeared in his heart.
…
Time passed, and more than two years had passed since the Kushans formed their imperial will. The Kushans finally could not suppress their restless thoughts and began to make infiltration attempts towards the Han Dynasty.
It was actually quite easy to mobilize the Kushans to fight the Han Dynasty. As long as they said it was for the purpose of marrying a princess, most of the opposition voices could be eliminated instantly.
And as the Kushan Empire fluctuated, Parthia also began to fluctuate.
Autumn is a good season to take action. The Kushans are planning to take action, and Rome is also planning to start taking action.
The last time Rome was attacked by Parthia on horseback, it was very embarrassing. This time, Rome spent two years to solve all the domestic problems in one go and stockpiled heavy troops on the border of Great Britain.
After isolating itself from the influence of Great Britain, Rome planned to deal a heavy blow to Parthia this time. Even if it could not destroy Parthia, it would definitely paralyze Parthia's limbs.
To achieve this goal, Rome removed some of the shackles on the church.
Not only did he give the three abandoned eagle flags to the church, he also allowed the church to recruit a group of knights to protect the church.
Of course, the benefits are not given for free. With Great Britain in the north as a constraint, Rome intends to use the church's background to confront Parthia.
A large number of barbarians with excellent qualities were stuffed into the church, and the church educated these barbarians with the help of faith, and then pulled them all out to plan for them to have a century-long war with Parthia.
Of course, the church was unwilling to give up this opportunity that Rome had finally given it, so it spent all its capital and even opened the legendary mobile church to ensure the combat effectiveness of these barbarian believers.
As long as they win this battle, even if only one in ten barbarian believers survive, they can move from barbarians to the level of citizens. In this way, the power of their church will be greatly expanded, although they cannot return to the glorious days of the Holy Church.
But at least they will become a major official institution of Rome and be liberated from Rome's oppression. Then it will become a political game rather than simple oppression.
They have been severely suppressed by Rome in recent years. Although their size has been growing, their political voice in the upper echelons has been getting smaller and smaller, and they are even facing the crisis of being completely liquidated.
Brahma was chopped to death by the Kushans, which gave Rome a great inspiration. The Romans were eager to pull down God and chop him off.
In the end, out of the sincerity of the church, Rome gave up on this.
The number of barbarians is simply too large. If they cannot be controlled through dual means of faith and hero worship, it is very likely that the upward channel will be too narrow, forcing the barbarians to turn against each other.
If there was no Great Britain, these barbarians would have turned against Rome and simply destroyed it, but the existence of Great Britain was a thorn in Rome's side, making it unable to sleep or eat.
However, Great Britain is stronger after all, and Rome intends to pick on the weaker ones first.
Moreover, they have secret connections with the Han Dynasty. Although both sides still have concerns now, it is estimated that forming an alliance is not impossible.
It is not impossible to destroy Parthia by attacking from both sides.
However, before that, Rome had not fully agreed to the Han Dynasty, and they still needed to reduce the number of barbarians first.
There are too many barbarians. This is a historical legacy of Rome, just like the caste system of the Kushans, the imperial history of the Han Dynasty, and the integration of tribal customs in Great Britain. These are all historical legacies that are difficult to avoid.
Parthia also had the same idea in mind. It integrated the entire country and planned to compete with Rome.
It must be said that after Brahma was broken into pieces, all countries benefited.
They also secretly developed their own imperial will. The Huns made many attempts to repair the imperial will, and many of their methods were used by Parthia.
Especially after Temujin contributed the remaining imperial will of the Xiongnu, it accelerated the restoration of the Parthian Empire's will.
Although the Parthian imperial will was weaker than that of the Kushan Empire, it was still a complete imperial will after all.
Because of Temujin's decision, Mongolia and other tribes were integrated into Parthia, occupying a quarter of Parthia's full-power positions almost overnight. The rest was just a matter of political game.
The biggest change was naturally the Han Dynasty. From north to south, the territory it conquered was so vast.
Moreover, after establishing connections with various forces in the American Empire, cross-sea trade with Australia as a transit point began.
Sun Ce officially had his own base on the ocean. Although most of them were still islands and countless kangaroos and rabbits lived on the largest land in Australia, he finally had his own base, which became a gateway for the Han Dynasty on the ocean.
The large-scale development of the south has been completed, and areas such as Nanman have also gradually begun to be developed. Roads are connected in all directions across the country, and infrastructure has achieved initial results.
For the Han Dynasty, these most basic enhancements are the greatest enhancements.
"Finally, Rome has taken action. I didn't expect Rome would wait so long!" Zhuge Liang began to get excited as he looked at the intelligence.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.
Under the dual pressure of Rome and Parthia, he could only resort to the empty city strategy, and was almost opened up by Hua Tuo in the end.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but Zhuge Liang cannot wait ten years. He wants revenge now.
"If nothing unexpected happens, you and I, three of us, will be sent to different places this time. What do you think?" Yue Fei was also a little excited. It was nothing more than being happy to hear about a war.
Zhuge Liang's face froze when he heard this, and Yue Fei's words made him frown.
He wanted to take revenge on Parthia, but judging by the current trend of discussion in the court, he would probably be sent to the southern part of Yizhou to replace Huangfu Song and command the army in the southern war zone to deal with the Kushans in the south .
Yue Fei would command the western army and deal a fatal blow to Parthia when Rome attacked Parthia.
As for Guo Ziyi, he would lead another large army under Cao Cao to launch an attack from the north of Kushan, implementing a pincer attack on Kushan.
And in the battle against Kushan, there is also Sun Ce on the sea, who will lead the navy to attack Kushan.
The plan of attacking from three sides was proposed by Guo Hao. Since we have to fight, we should either hit them hard all at once or finish the fight all at once.
They prepared for two full years, and in order to confuse Parthia, they even had to trade with Parthia despite the intention of killing Parthia.
Moreover, all kinds of welfare benefits were intended to confuse Parthia.
The Han Dynasty used the excuse of fighting the Kushans to ask Parthia for a passage, and all those welfare benefits were tolls paid by the Han Dynasty to Parthia.
The strategy was very successful. The Han Dynasty accumulated a large army in the west without hiding it from Parthia. Instead, it told Parthia openly.
I stationed troops to fight the Kushans, and even described to Parthia to a certain extent their strategy for fighting Parthia.
As for whether Parthia would tell the Kushans about the attack, the Han Dynasty didn't care at all.
Taking this into consideration, they simply abandoned any fancy plans and decided to go to war with the Kushans.
Anyway, Parthia was really deceived, which led to the Han Dynasty's crazy deployment of troops, but Parthia's defense on the border with the Han Dynasty was slow to be strengthened.
They retained the most basic precautions, but in fact, everyone from top to bottom had relaxed their defenses against the Han Dynasty.
Even Vogelges V, who knew about the situation, let his guard down.
However, it was also because of the movements in Rome that forced him to make a choice.
Either they strengthen their defenses against the Han Dynasty and destroy the relationship between the two sides, or they choose to trust the Han Dynasty and free up their hands to concentrate on dealing with Rome.
In the end, Parthia chose the latter, and people including Fars Sassanid were deceived by the Han Dynasty.
They were sure that the Han Dynasty was going to beat Kushan, because Kushan's previous behavior of roaring in the court still completely angered the Han Dynasty. The last time the main force attacked Japan and Kushan, both sides suffered losses.
This time, the Han Dynasty not only wanted to regain its ground, but also wanted to regain its face, and at the same time, deal a heavy blow to the Kushan Empire.
With this kind of thinking, the Parthians only saw the menacing force of Rome, and did not notice the long-accumulated murderous intent of the Han Dynasty behind them.
After thinking for a long time, Zhuge Liang indeed felt that he was more suitable to go to Liu Bei's side to help.
Because the situation in the southern part of Kushan was very complicated, it not only required a large army commander, but also a large army commander who was good at strategy.
After all, when dealing with the low castes in southern Kushan, a large army commander who is familiar with the ins and outs of military affairs can exert greater power.
Although Zhuge Liang was a little unwilling, his emotions did not affect his judgment.
"Brother Pengju, I'm leaving Liang in your hands!" Zhuge Liang saluted Yue Fei.
Yue Fei quickly dodged, he couldn't bear it, but he also knew what Zhuge Liang was referring to.
"Don't worry, I will. The Huns must die!"
