Liu Bei's words made the camp instantly quiet, and the place that Liu Bei and the others had dreamed about appeared in front of them again.
It was so sudden. If Guan Yu hadn't said it, they wouldn't have remembered that there was once a place called Dahan, which was their home!
But Dahan is another place that makes them suffer. That place is now called Daqian, and there lives a powerful enemy that they cannot defeat.
"Ming Gong, our biggest enemy at this time is still the Kushan Empire. Although we defeated the Kushan Empire's 100,000 troops this time, the Kushan Empire still has hundreds of thousands of troops. It can be said that the foundation is not damaged, and we are still the leader. Allies, it's too early to think about returning to the Han Dynasty!" Yuan Ji immediately stopped everyone's memories of the Han Dynasty.
Because for them, Daqian is now their most important ally. Their weapons, equipment, food and cloth are all provided by Daqian. Without these, they would not have been able to fight in Tianzhu for 10 years and become stronger and stronger.
Moreover, Yuan Ji is more realistic than Liu Bei. Now their strength in Tianzhu is not much inferior to that of the Han Dynasty. The ideal of building another Han Dynasty has been realized. Even if they go one step further and wipe out the Kushan Empire, a powerful empire will already be there. It was formed in their hands.
In this case, why bother to offend Dagan? Not to mention that this place is thousands of miles away from the core territory of Dagan. There is no conflict of interest between the two parties. Even if Liu Bei and the others want to fight, Yuan Ji also knows that there is a high probability that they will not be able to defeat Dagan. of.
In the 10 years since Daqian defeated them, he has not stopped moving forward. Whether it is the development of the South China Sea, the expansion of power all the way to the coast of Tianzhu, or the discovery of the New World, these have expanded Daqian's territory and power to a great extent.
Just by looking at Da Qian's map, Yuan Ji knew that an unprecedentedly powerful empire had appeared. If they collided with each other at this time, they would not be seeking death. Yuan Ji, who had been driven away by Lei Gong several times, did not want to have such an experience again, so he Liu Bei disagreed with the idea of fighting back to Luoyang. He was already over sixty, and it was unknown whether he could destroy the Kushan Empire. Why bother to worry about doing something big?
"My lord, as far as the geographical location between us and Daqian is concerned, there is absolutely no need for conflict between the two sides. Even if we capture Kushan and border Daqian, the Western Region is the most remote area of Daqian. Lei Gong even took this area The land was given to his subordinates so that they could found a country in the Western Region. Even the Thunder God looked down upon the land. What’s the point of us occupying it?”
"The Western Region alone is thousands of miles away. Even if we occupy the Western Region, how can we defeat Xiliang and reach Chang'an? This is too far. There is no way an army can fight such a long distance!" Ma Liang also persuaded Liu Bei. Inappropriate idea!
No one wants to offend Lei Gong. This is not the idea of Yuan Ji alone, but the idea of most people in Liu Bei's forces. Those nobles and nobles followed Liu Bei at the beginning, but they couldn't see any hope. At that time, Liu Bei was the only one who had the situation. One person was still moving forward, and everyone relied on instinct to follow Liu Bei.

But none of them thought that this road would be used by Liu Bei. They captured most of Tianzhu and established a country with a population of tens of millions. They really revived the Han Dynasty in Tianzhu, although the people under their rule have changed. I am a native of Tianzhu.
Those who have lost know better how to cherish their immediate happiness, so these people follow Liu Bei and fight to the death to build their current foundation. But if Liu Bei wants to deal with Lei Gong, a powerful enemy again, even if Liu Bei brings them hope, they will still oppose Liu Bei.
of.
Zhang Fei said unconvinced: "Don't worry about us if you are the Thunder Lord. He has driven us to Tianzhu thousands of miles away. He also sent Yan Liang and his troops to occupy Gemstone Island to monitor us!"
Then he said jealously: "Why is Lei Gong so lucky? You can find gems on any island. When we kill Guishuang, Yan Liang will be the first to do it!"
Although Tianzhu is rich, these places cannot be compared to places with gem mines, especially since they have been at war in this year. Although Liu Bei has plundered Tianzhu's wealth for thousands of years, the 10-year war still left a lot to be desired.
A lot of wealth in Tianzhu was lost. Over the years, Liu Bei tried to save money, but he often struggled with food and supplies.
And if they can occupy Gemstone Island, their wealth will be 1 billion more, which can support an army of 100,000 and solve a lot of their troubles. That's why Zhang Fei is aggrieved about Gemstone Island. They obviously won the battle.
The enemy let Yan Liang pick the fruit.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Yide, you are talking nonsense again. Although Yan Liang does not have many soldiers, the dozen or so warships in his hands are extremely powerful. We are not the opponent of these warships at all, so how can we board the Gemstone Island!"
"
Although Liu Bei's strength has been expanding over the years, the expansion has always been the strength of the army. After all, the army is related to their life and death. Although Yan Liang is at sea, the 5,000-man army is not taken seriously by Liu Bei. In Liu Bei's view
Come, as long as Yan Liang dares to land, he will dare to annihilate this army.
Therefore, even though Tianzhu was in a defenseless situation, Liu Bei did not worry much about his own safety.
"And what Shiji said is right. We still need Daqian's help now. If we want to destroy the Kushan Empire, it is impossible without enough war horses. And now the only source of our war horses can only be Daqian's maritime merchants who can help us.
Bought!"
Liu Bei also had a cavalry of several thousand people, but the cost of this cavalry was extremely high. The horses were purchased from the sea. First, they bought the horses from Tianfang, which was not far away, but the horses from Tianfang were very expensive. Second, they bought the horses from Daqian.
Although the price of Daqian's war horses is not high, the thousands of miles of sea journey and the war horses that died of illness on the way have increased the price of each war horse from Tianzhu by more than 10 times!
But even at such a high price, Liu Bei still gritted his teeth and bought these war horses! It can be said that these maritime merchants were Liu Bei's only source of war horses.
After saying this, Liu Bei shook his head helplessly. He found that although everyone was excited about what Guan Yu said about the big man, there was a trace of fear and uneasiness on their faces after hearing that he wanted to fight Lei Gong again.
This is not just one or two people, but almost everyone has this kind of fear. Obviously everyone is frightened by Lei Gong. They also think in their hearts that they cannot be Lei Gong's opponent, so they show hostility to Da Gan.
Times of fear.
However, Liu Bei also understood the fear of his subordinates. They were driven out of Hebei, the Central Plains, and finally the Han Dynasty by Lei Gong. They had been defeated for more than ten years. How could everyone not be afraid of a powerful enemy like Lei Gong!
