Chapter 882 Li Ru’s decision

"Parthia sent people to inform us that they have purged the country and are preparing to send troops to attack the Mesopotamia. They specially invited us, Great Britain, to go with them to participate in the grand event!"

Li Jue scratched his head and looked at the credentials in his hand.

To be honest, Parthia and the Han Dynasty are now in a honeymoon period within a honeymoon period.

Parthia has accumulated property and various specialties over the years, and the Han Dynasty has abundant materials and strong support. Both sides get what they need, and trade is booming.

However, the fly in the ointment is that Parthia's silk monopoly was broken. Great Britain and others have rejected high-priced silk and started to trade directly with the Han Dynasty, without middlemen to make the difference.

This caused the four countries of Parthia, Great Britain, Kushan, and Han Dynasty to be in a strange honeymoon period.

It's like the previous war never happened.

But this is understandable. Back then, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were so stupid that they still engaged in border trade from time to time. Where did they go now? In the face of interests, everything else could give way.

"Why don't we go back and ask the military advisor?" Guo Si also couldn't understand. Although they had attended literacy classes, they had just left the situation of being illiterate. It would be fatal for them to study foreign languages.

Normally, we can still communicate through spiritual communication, but once it comes to words, we are immediately blind.

"It's too far, why don't you go back?" Fan Chou refused directly without thinking. They were finally let out by Li Ru to have fun, and it would be too unhappy to go back now.

"Well, no, this thing shouldn't be simple. We can't cause trouble to the military advisor!" Zhang Ji thought for a moment and then said.

"Then let Xiu'er go back for a run!" Guo Bang also nodded. What Zhang Ji said was quite reasonable.

"Forget it, just send a small team back. Xiu'er will follow us and train her well!"

Li Jue refused. Although Zhang Xiu is now very strong personally and is the number one general in Xiliang, he still needs to be trained in leading troops in battles. It would be great to take him to broaden his horizons.

"Let's let Xiu'er make a trip. I think there are still two months left, enough for Xiu'er to go back and forth, and even the military advisor will give us reinforcements." Zhang Ji thought for a long time, and finally insisted.

The other people were timid and didn't have any opinions. They were released by Li Ru this time just to kill people and have fun. They didn't really care where they went to kill or who they killed.

After killing the target assigned by Li Ru, they were worried about having nothing to do, and Parthia kindly came to their door. It was simply a blessing.

"Let's go, put that aside and study it later. Parthia also gave us a map with a lot of bandits and horse bandits marked on it. Let's continue training with those little brats!"

After Li Jue and others discussed the matter in a nonchalant manner, they set off with their Xiliang cavalry in a hurry.

Replenishing heavy cavalry troops is the biggest problem. Even if the Xiliang cavalry reserves are very complete, it is still an extremely difficult process for them.

They need constant bloody battles to get these dual talents and even the Xiliang cavalry of the Imperial Guard to join the ranks of heavy cavalry.

When Li Ru released them, he not only wanted to know some fixed targets, but also had a request, which was to allow them to replenish the heavy cavalry to full strength.

The place where Li Jue and the others are located is roughly a three-nothing zone, equivalent to the current areas of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan.

They came here to deal with a group of horse bandits who had robbed the caravan. These guys had no fixed residence, but they still had traces to follow.

Because it was the honeymoon period, Parthia was also open to convenience. They themselves couldn't spare the time to clean up these places, so they simply gave the Han Dynasty a good deal and gave them a privilege to move easily.

Moreover, maintaining the stability of the market is also a very important matter for Parthia.

In addition, there are too many problems left over from the history of this place, not only Parthia, but also the Kushans. The Kushans also occupied this place, but to be precise, the Han Dynasty also occupied this place a hundred years ago.

place.

But later on, because it was too far for the Han Dynasty at that time, and for the Kushans, the Han Dynasty was squatting here, and Parthia itself was in constant war and could not move, so it became a no-care zone.

.

Many horse bandits, mountain bandits, thieves and other evil forces that can't live in the area are all gathered in this area. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a black area where no one cares.

In addition, Rome later added sand to the area, and Parthia lost its actual management rights over this area.

What Vogelgis V did was actually throwing away the burden and using Li Jue and others as mercenaries.

He knew very well that there was Roman sand in this place, and he also had the idea of ​​​​making the Han Dynasty and Rome at odds with each other, and then tied the Han Dynasty to a Parthian chariot.

When the cleanup is completed, this place can still be used to sell favors. Whether it is given as a reward to heroes who have made outstanding achievements in the war, or it is a good thing to start developing it yourself.

However, since it was employment, Vogelgis V did not play tricks. He directly allocated a large amount of supplies to Li Jue and others from Parthia, and directly asked Li Jue and others to occupy the mountain as land and temporarily settle in this area.

root.

Not to mention, evil people need evil people to govern them. As a chaotic and evil Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they are a dimensionality-reducing blow to those horse bandits. After killing more than a dozen waves in a row, the place will be peaceful. By the way, Li

Jue and the others also have a group of younger brothers coming out.

It seems that the entire dark and evil area is really being cleared away. It is not too satisfying for Vogelges. This is much more refreshing than hiring the Northern Huns at that time. The Han Dynasty is fighting these scum more vigorously than their own people.

It's quick to clean up.

…

"Commander, Zhang Xiu, please see me!" Just when Li Ru was thinking about how to use the fact that Rome had an undercover agent in Parthia to make a fuss, a guard came to report.

"Huh? Zhang Xiu?" Li Ru was stunned. Of course he knew Zhang Xiu. This was currently the largest junior in the Xiliang family, and he also had the intention of cultivating him.

He remembered that Zhang Xiu should have been taken away by Li Jue and the others. How could he come back suddenly?

"Let him come in!" With nothing to do, Li Ru gave the order directly

"Commander, this is the Parthian credential that several uncles asked me to send back. Please have it read by the strategist!" Zhang Xiu went straight to the point and handed the credential that Li Jue had given him to Li Ru. This thing was Vogelgis.

The fifth generation wrote it himself, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

After Li Ru got the certificate of credence handed to him by Zhang Xiu, he filled in the last flaw in his thinking. He instantly understood where the loopholes were so far. He had missed an empire.

"Roma..." Li Ru's face was extremely gloomy. He had basically guessed the mastermind behind the scenes. It was definitely Roma who was causing trouble.

No evidence is needed. The biggest beneficiary after the success of this incident is Rome. Not only can it weaken the development of Great Britain and Parthia, but if the undercover operation is done well, it can also turn the Han Dynasty and these two countries into enemies.

Plan to escape from separation.

"Haha, it seems that distant relations and close attacks are not suitable for this country!" Li Ru's eyes contained murderous intent. He had found the culprit who had worked hard day and night these days.

"Zhang Xiu listens to the order!" Li Ru thought briefly and then ordered.

"The general is here!" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly half-knelt down.

"I want you to gather five thousand soldiers and horses, join Li Jue and others, and lend a helping hand to Parthia. By the way, give this thing to the leader of Parthia. He should know what to do!"

Without saying a word, Li Ru drafted a document quickly. He had found some traces of undercover agents based on clues these days. He was originally unable to take action because of concerns about national relations.

Now that the mystery is solved, it is natural to use Parthia's own hands to clean up the door!

When the time comes, it will be Parthia that is at a disadvantage, and it will have to give another three points of profit to the Han Dynasty. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

As for Rome, although Li Ru didn't know how strong the opponent was, the Xiliang cavalry led by the four kings of Xiliang were definitely not vegetarians. It was enough for them to teach Rome a lesson, and by the way, they could also train their troops. Wouldn't it be nice?

In Li Ru's view, the four Li Jue were all elite generals. They led more than 4,000 heavy cavalry, led 10,000 elite Xiliang cavalry, and randomly picked up some auxiliary troops on the road, which was enough to cause Rome to suffer a loss.

This back and forth was completely harmless to the Han Dynasty.

Anyway, Parthia is the main attacker, and the Han Dynasty can just send some people to beat the drums and start the attack. No matter whether they win or lose, the Han Dynasty will definitely make a profit.

"Di Qing...forget it, Di Qing can't move for the time being..." Li Ru subconsciously wanted to send out the other trump card, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Di Qing's three talents are not yet fully compiled, and are still in a mixed state. Moreover, Di Qing's three talents were obtained during the battle with the Parthian army. It would be too embarrassing to meet each other then, and it would be detrimental to deepening friendship.

"I'm afraid the manpower currently available can't do anything to disgust Rome!" Li Ru thought.

Lu Zhi couldn't move. After Li Jue and the others left, they were still counting on Lu Zhi to hold the place. Moreover, Lu Zhi, a great Confucian, had to come in for education. He was specialized in martial arts. To be honest, Li Ru was not very good at education.

Likes to destroy.

"...How about we transfer those brats out of Luoyang?" After thinking for a while, Li Ru finally focused his attention on Liu Chan, Cao Ang and others in Luoyang.

There is no other way. Counterattack is counterattack, and the basic market must still be maintained.

The power he has at hand must be used to protect the entire Western Region, especially if Rome makes trouble, he must leave some spare power to deal with it.

In fact, from Li Ru's point of view, Parthia can definitely defeat Rome in this wave.

Although he didn't know how powerful Rome was, the number of troops sent by Parthia this time was marked on the certificate of credence handwritten by Vogelgis V.

200,000 pairs of talents, 80,000 imperial guards, and 72 inner Qi separated from the body. As for the rest, I have not mentioned them, but from this basic data, Li Ru has already seen Parthia's determination.

Calculated according to this ratio, the number of three-talented legions and single-talented legions is absolutely shocking.

At this scale, if they turned around and attacked the current Western Regions, the Han Dynasty would really not be able to stop it.

This number is actually not as good as the final size of the Northern Huns, but the difference between the two is that the Northern Huns were the last to show their strength, while Parthia was different. This time the military front was only part of the strength.

They also left manpower stationed in the north and southeast directions to guard against the three countries of Han Dynasty, Great Britain and Kushan.

The honeymoon period is back to the honeymoon period. If you really put the survival of the country on stupid friendship, you will be really stupid.

No matter how good a relationship is, necessary precautions are necessary.

What's more, we are only in a relationship of interest, and we have fought wars with each other. If we really don't take precautions, we are forcing people to commit crimes.

To be fair, if Parthia is really undefended and exposes its empty side to Li Ru.

Li Ru would definitely call for help while rushing out to directly attack Taixifeng from behind. Even if he could not completely occupy the land by then and would have to bear the reputation of treachery, Li Ru didn't care at all.

Who wouldn't want the opportunity to decide the world in one battle? When the time comes, the real land resources and interests will be enough to transform Li Ru into a saint.

His enemies and my heroes are nothing more than this.

But that's just thinking about it, after all, they are at the imperial level and would not make such a stupid mistake.
To be continued...
