Strategic choice
Chen Xi was pulled out of the house by Liu Bei. There was no other way. When the sun was setting in Northern Europe, it was still late at night in the Han Dynasty, so when Huangfusong’s war eagle flew over desperately, it was not yet dawn and he was still on duty. The secret report received by Zhuge Liang.
What should I say about this urgent secret report? After Zhuge Liang received it, everyone was stunned!
I was really dumbfounded. After reading it, Zhuge Liang didn’t even know how to deal with it. After a few seconds, he finally recovered. The first time the palace guard went to Jiuqing’s house to smash the door, and then ordered the post station While using the war eagle to notify Liu Tong who is playing in the East China Sea, the sky is really falling!
"Mr. Xuande, since Yuan Fengnian, you have woken me up in the middle of the night. Except when you were drinking and getting hangover at home at night, this is the first time." Chen Xi had a collapsed expression on his face, and there was nothing he could do. After tossing around in the first half of the night, he just fell asleep in the second half of the night and was sleepy. Liu Bei came to knock on the door himself, and then rushed to the inner courtyard, roaring in the courtyard, and Chen Xi had no choice but to crawl out.
Liu Bei grabbed Chen Xi's sleeve and raised his voice a bit, "I have nothing else to do and I will never disturb you while you are sleeping. Something really happened this time, the Nordic side exploded!"
"If it blows up, it will blow up. Anyway, if the sky falls, Rome will hold it up." Chen Xi said indifferently, what's the matter, isn't it that northern Europe was blown up, and Rome is known as the lighthouse of European civilization, so it's time to verify its quality Time, let’s say, are there any things that Rome can’t stand these days?
Chen Xi's perfunctory tone directly suffocated Liu Bei, and he almost couldn't breathe.
"The problem is that the army in the Nordic shadow world has come out!" Liu Bei dragged Chen Xi out, and roared with trembling voice while dragging.
Chen Xi heard that because she was not fully awake yet, her mind was still muddled, and it took her a while to react. At that moment, Liu Bei clearly saw that Chen Xi's dazed expression suddenly became sober, and then even white spots appeared on his forehead. sweaty.
Chen Xi raised his head slowly, with a serious expression on his face, he tugged on Liu Bei's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "What's going on, why did you let those big troops come out? How did they come out? And General Huangfu What are they doing!"
"I don't know the exact situation. This is the secret letter sent back by the old general Huangfu immediately after the shadow world in northern Europe was broken." Liu Bei took out the secret letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Chen Xi, who was inside the carriage Under the bright light, he quickly read.
"Double talents breaking through 150W?" Chen Xi was dumbfounded after reading it. Do you know how many people there are in the three empires?Are you finally crazy?
"The commanders of the six legions? There are also some heroes who came from the age of mythology?" Chen Xi rubbed his forehead. He felt the blood vessels in his brain have been greatly impacted by the rise in blood pressure. He felt the pressure of Cao Sikong back then!
"The 50 people can't tell whether they are the enemy or us, but they were chasing Huangfu old man's yellow scarf before, and there are hundreds of thousands who are not divine guards, but the remaining overlords of the previous Nordic shadow world. Come on!" Chen Xi felt that Rome's going back and forth to death was really dead this time!
There is no need to consider the latter issue, whether to flee or not, let’s put it aside for now, the hundreds of thousands of original local overlords are mainly running away, and in this situation, no matter whether it is Rome or the Han Dynasty, they are unable to pursue them. In this situation, let’s do it first. There is still hope for the divine guards led by Odin, if they can't kill the divine guards led by Odin, they will chase down those hundreds of thousands of local overlords who have decisively slipped away after their arrival...
"Can you win?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Although it is terrible, none of the three great empires can be defeated by a mere 150W dual talents without logistics." Although Chen Xi was extremely furious, he felt that Rome's death was outrageous, but at this point in reality, it is useless to think about it. , first dry crush Odin and then talk about others!
"This letter is more for us to make up our minds." Chen Xi said with a gloomy face.
Fazheng and others in the government affairs office have already scolded each other. Everyone is a smart person. Although they were shocked by the death of Rome at first, and finally a crisis of world civilization has emerged, but soon Li You, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others They all realized what the essence of this letter was.
Then soon the group split.
"A divine guard above the 150W dual-talent level, and there are six commanders of the same large army. In this case, beggar your neighbor, are you crazy?" Fazheng slapped the table with Li You directly, "You Have you never seen how crazy the commander of the Grand Army is?"
If it was in the early years, Fazheng would never be like Li You, but now, you have to shout, old guy, the time you spent fighting on the big battlefield is not much different from the time I was fighting on the big battlefield, you are more than me Hulaoguan, I personally faced Rahul, Altay, and several guys who were close to the commander of the army. Even if the commanders of the six army cannot beat us, they can still hit us hard!
"The strength of Rome is there, so what about the command of the six legions? Rome's army is slightly stronger than ours, but at most it is weaker than us in terms of potential and savings. Six Odinga 150W divine guards can defeat Rome. It is also based on the present and future of Rome such as Severus, Perennis, Papinian, Virgilio, etc. are all in Northern Europe!" Li You also slapped the table unceremoniously and shouted.
The 150W divine guards with double talent level and above who are commanded by six major legions do not need logistics. If you really want to say, they are indeed very powerful, but it is impossible to defeat the three prepared empires with these alone. Yes, even A well-prepared Guishuang can't be extinguished.
Of course, compared to Guishuang, the biggest advantage of Shenwei is the command of the large army. The problem is that if Guishuang is prepared, there will be no Han Dynasty to hold back, and the danger of mountains and rivers will slowly grind away. 150W dual talents, the tug-of-war will wear down After more than ten years, it will be worn to death.
As for the Han Dynasty and Rome, as long as they were not directly copied by the divine guards, and then the logistics collapsed due to fleeing tactics, these two empires can quickly wipe out the army led by Odin within one to two years if they are well prepared. Divine Guard Army.
After all, the command of the six armies made it impossible for the Han Dynasty and Rome to make up the same. Both the Han Dynasty and Rome belonged to the younger generation who had multiple qualified commanders of the great armies, but couldn't find a theater to train their hands. They really needed resources. Enough, enough war zones, both the Han Dynasty and Rome can pull the number of large legion commanders to double digits, and the 150W elite enemy army is more like a sharpening stone for the Han Dynasty and Rome.
Of course, this is a normal state, and for Rome, it is not a normal state now.
Rome is now purely accidental in Northern Europe. More importantly, in this unexpected situation, Severus and others cannot retreat, because the opposite side does not need to eat, drink, and scatter, and the mobility is naturally faster than that of Rome. There can only be constant confrontation.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Rome's military strength has completely fallen into a disadvantage. Although the legion configuration is very reasonable and there are many troops, but the 50 yellow scarves led by Pertinax are not counted, and those under Perennis' command are counted as recruited and incorporated. The strength is less than 30, and counting the auxiliary soldiers and the tenth knight and parliamentary guard brought by Severus, the total strength does not exceed 50.
Although with the strength of the Roman Empire, a 50 army is enough to crush Anxi's broken empire, and it can even severely damage a wave of Guishuang's core empire in a large-scale battle, but facing 150W, there are six out of the same army. Yuan's Grand Army Commander led the Divine Guard.
To be honest, when Odin didn't care about sacrifice, as long as Huangfusong and others deliberately showed a flaw in the battlefield, this group of people would die!
After all, the divine guards are all elite backbones created by relying on the talent structure in Huangfusong's thinking. As long as they cooperate in place, their combat effectiveness will not be inferior to the elites of Rome. It is a defeat like a mountain.
Losing this game, Rome's loss is too great. Even if Caesar sits in Italy, it can guarantee that the country will not collapse on the spot, but most of the main eagle emblems are destroyed. The current backbone commanders are all dead, and the future hope is still dry. More than half of it is broken, the miracle and the military soul are all finished...
Coupled with the barbarian problem that has always existed in the Roman Empire itself, the situation has reached this point. Even if Caesar ends up and wins the guard of Commander Odin with difficulty, the Roman Empire is probably only a few steps away from falling apart. The problem After all the above things have been done, Huangfusong will let the Roman Empire develop on the eve of its disintegration?
Of course not!
At this time, of course, it is time to seize the opportunity and kick the load-bearing wall of the already precarious Roman Empire, completely destroying the Roman Empire.
To put it bluntly, Li You is aware of this, and then feels that this is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to completely unify the Eurasian plate.
After all, the current situation is very clear. It is only a matter of time before Guishuang is eliminated. If it is slow, there will definitely be a result in their generation. If it is fast, there will be a result in the next five years or so. Still calculated the situation after Rome made trouble.
But the destruction of Rome, even the most ambitious Li You, has never considered it.
As early as a few years ago, Rome and the Han Dynasty disclosed some secrets to each other, and allowed each other to enter and exit some relatively confidential places, so that both sides could clearly understand each other's strength. Chen Xi's move was to prevent the Han Dynasty and Rome from Unnecessary strategic misjudgments occurred.
Because of this kind of behavior, the Han Dynasty and Rome have a good understanding of each other's strength. Rome's overall military strength is extremely strong, but its internal hidden dangers are far greater than that of the Han Dynasty. The overall military strength of the Han Dynasty is slightly weaker than that of Rome, but the Han Dynasty In a state of emergency, the military power that can be mobilized is far stronger than that of Rome.
However, because the distance between the two sides is too far, let alone the ratio of mutual combat power has reached a level that is now close to [-]-[-]. As long as it is not exaggerated to the extent of September [-]st, the two sides will basically not go to war.
Of course, this is only for now. The military potential of Rome has almost been tapped. After all, the base of citizens is there, and it is impossible to continue digging. The Han Dynasty can continue to dig for more than 30 years.
After 40 years of full military service, the military potential of the Han Dynasty will be fully released. As for what it will be like after it is released, let’s put it this way, after 40 years of full military service, ordinary adults, as long as they have all the armor, Under the condition that the command of the legion is reliable, the double talents can still fight, and even win.
During Emperor Wu's reign, when Prince Liu Ju rebelled, he opened the arsenal to send troops to the people of Chang'an. The people of Chang'an fought with the southern army led by the prime minister for five days and five nights with the equipment. It was filled by the frontier troops on duty, and the two sides fought to the extent that Chang'an was bleeding like a river.
What is the conscription system, this is the conscription system.
It can be said that the biggest advantage of the conscription system lies in its abundance of martial virtues. If it is a disadvantage, it is also abundant in martial arts. Emperor Wu was blocked.
On the other hand, local people who are too rich in martial virtue really have the power to fight against the country, so once civil strife breaks out under the conscription system, don't even think about using force to quell it.
At present, the Han Dynasty has resumed the conscription system, and it plans to continue, because Chen Xi's policy can stabilize the people, and under the policy stability, there will be no civil strife.
The Roman citizenship system itself undertakes the military service system, so for citizens, it is actually a conscription system, which is also the guarantee of the military power of the Roman Empire.
On Guishuang’s side, Beigui is the only force in the four great empires that has actually implemented a century-old conscription system. However, due to the southward migration, the conscription system has been destroyed, but relying on the previous background, there will be no problems in 30 to 30 years. Yes, the question is only whether it can last for [-] or [-] years.
Li You knows this very well, but Li You knows even more that even if the Han Dynasty realizes all its military potential, it is actually difficult to destroy Rome in the face of such a long distance, and now is the only chance to destroy Rome, and this opportunity is not Not small.
"I'm not optimistic that Odin can annihilate the main force of Rome in Northern Europe, even with the cooperation of General Huangfu!" Fazheng said with a sneer, "I haven't understood the human heart for so many years. , but I know one thing, that is, when you think about plotting against others, the other must be prepared! Don't treat Rome as a fool!"
Li You didn't deny this, because if Rome is a fool, then they must be fools too, facing up to the strength of their opponents is the basis for recognizing themselves.
"Once we choose to be beggar-thy-neighbor, Odin may not follow our ideas to destroy this group of Roman main forces." Coming out of the inner palace, Liu Ye, who was sitting by the side, said with a bit of indifference. For such a major event, Liu Ye must be notified.
"No matter how the old general Huangfu describes it, one thing cannot be ignored. Odin is also an intelligent life, and since he is an intelligent life, he may not be incapable of conspiracy." Guo Jia thought for a long time before deciding on Crow's Mouth.
This is considered to be a fork, there are two lines, in thinking
