Jia Xu looked at the location roughly belonging to Peshawar and sighed, "I was thinking about where Cao Sikong would be enfeoffed before, but I didn't expect it to be here. Don't worry about that.
Will he counterattack this side of our direct jurisdiction?"
As he spoke, Jia Xu pointed to the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River. This area was planned to be under direct control by the Han Dynasty. No matter what other people said, the Han Dynasty did not intend to enfeoff this area. They even built roads specifically to ensure that this area would be controlled by the Han Dynasty.
integrated into the domestic system.
After all, a grain-producing land that can support the entire country is still very important. With such a place in hand, domestic affairs can often be handled more calmly. In feudal society, as long as the food problem can be solved, even if there is no money,
Keep running.
This is why Chen Xi knew that there could be no problems with the celestial phenomena in the past few years, so he was still harvesting grain. Even some of the grain had aged. Chen Xi was still harvesting. There was nothing to say. Food problems affected the country as a whole at all times.
Safe operation.
This is also an important reason why after the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges were captured, the Han Dynasty was under direct jurisdiction. From the beginning, no one dared to mention enfeoffment of this place, and some positions could not be moved.
Jia Xu had previously thought about where Cao Cao would be entrusted, and the result was finally determined. There was almost no deviation from his estimate. The Indus River Basin, the Peshawar area south of Khyber, and the Imperial Cemetery above.
At most, there is a part of the original Kushan essence area.
"The three families of Chen Xun and Sima will become a buffer zone by then. Rather than putting Cao Sikong in the inner circle, it is better to let these people go to the outer circle. As long as they don't turn around and take action, they can attack wherever they want." Chen Xi
He looked at the map and said slowly. He knew that the map of this era had many miscellaneous countries that he was too lazy to calculate.
"Tell the other party the location of the enfeoffment in advance and let the other party plan it. In exchange, the relay station in Yili will be nationalized, right?" Jia Xu knocked on the table, wondering if it was worth it. If he knew the location of the enfeoffment in advance,
The direction of the investment of Cao Cao's power is much clearer, and it will naturally balance the overall and personal interests.
"It's not a big problem. Don't worry. Cao Mengde is not an easy place to capture, and it will be very troublesome to attack from the north. Even if we want to attack, we will need a lot of people, and we will inevitably have to borrow Sun Boxu." Chen Xi
He chuckled and said, "So although the Kushan essence area will fall into Cao Sikong's hands when the time comes, it's up to them how to distribute it."
"Overall, what you did is indeed quite good. You just habitually omit some things in the details. But let's leave it at that. It's not unacceptable." After pondering for a while, Jia Xu decided to trust Chen Xi's judgment. After all, the general situation was
You can also understand it yourself.
"I don't like to do details. Besides, don't we have you?" Chen Xi smiled and said, "Let's talk to Mr. Xuande. This matter must be spoken by Mr. Xuande, and the Cao family and
There are also some things that need to be settled on the Yuan family's side, and Yuan Jiujiu seems to have let go of this matter. After all, he has a new heir, but it's better to make up for it."
Yuan Yao died at the hands of the Cao family. At that time, Yuan Shu wanted to kill Cao Cao to avenge him. After all, he was just such a child, but he still died. However, before Yuan Yao died, he helped Sun Ce and Zhou Yu smooth away the thorn in Yuan Shu's heart.
Yuan Shu gave his inheritance directly to Sun Ce.
At that time, Sun Ce even took over Yuan Yao's affairs and said that Cao Cao would be killed. However, everyone knew what happened next. The Han Dynasty was reunited, and Cao and Sun still needed to hug each other for warmth, so this matter could only be ignored.
Went down.
Although Yuan Shu acquiesced to this fact, and his wife gave birth to a son for him, Yuan Yao took things lightly and did not mention it again.
But in essence, this matter is still a thorn in the side, and although Sun Ce did not mention it, Chen Xi can guarantee that Sun Ce will definitely remember it.
Cao Cao goes to help Yuan Tan, even if he doesn't say anything else, it is possible to solve the hidden danger. After all, things like personal hatred are still very troublesome. Although righteousness can be suppressed, the hidden danger is still a hidden danger, just like if Liu Bei is down now
Now, run to Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan can kill him or not.
Similarly, when Yuan Tan returned to the Central Plains to pay homage to Gongsun Zan, the preparations Gongsun Xu made in Jicheng were not preparations for Yuan Tan to return alive at all. They were preparations to actually kill people.
Jicheng, an important town in the north, owns one-third of an acre of Gongsun's family's land. They also dispatched private soldiers and strong crossbows. Once the clouds that have been stored for decades are opened, it is a fortified city. Yuan Tan can enter, but he will never be able to get out.
.
Private grudges are inherently things that cannot be ignored. In the official history, Ling Tong ignored the revenge of his father because of Gan Ning's life-saving grace. On this point, Ling Tong's evaluation in the book dropped completely.
Big cut.
According to the ancient practice, kindness is kindness and hatred is enmity. You killed my father but saved my life. Then I will kill you to avenge my father and then commit suicide to repay your life-saving grace. This kind of thing did not happen in ancient times.
Pass.
Therefore, Chen Xi did not completely demand to shake hands and make peace with his personal feud. This was simply unrealistic. All he could do was to try his best to unite these people around the righteousness and not cause trouble for himself.
As for Gongsun Xu cooperating with the Yuan family in fighting, save it, Chen Xi is not a pig, why would he bring people with enemies together? Is there something wrong with his brain?
I didn't see that when Chen Xi dispatched the generals, he didn't send those generals with enemies together to save trouble. Although justice is very important, there is really no need to cause trouble for himself.
"My lord, let me make peace with you." Jia Xu thought for a while and said. Chen Xi felt a lot more at ease after hearing this. Although Li You was not here, Jia Xu was by his side, so he could save a lot of effort.
Get these two here, otherwise they will really be annoying to death.
"It was my negligence this time." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I really don't understand why Rome didn't attack Congling, but instead attacked the Yuan family. Logically speaking, fighting the main body is not more effective than fighting the deputy.
Is it your own strength?"
"It's just a normal mistake. Sometimes people's hearts are hard to grasp. You have been using conspiracy, relying on the accumulated general trend, and suppressing the overall situation. This time, it's just that Rome's momentum is higher than ours. It's inevitable.
Just hit a wall." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi and said, in his opinion, this was a normal situation.
Conspiracies and conspiracies are all strategies. Conspiracies are more about taking advantage of the situation and relying on one's own resource adjustments to achieve the desired results by raising the upper limit of performance.
Chen Xi has always used conspiracy in the past, but if you really want to say it, there is a prerequisite. Chen Xi's own power must be able to suppress the opponent. Otherwise, even if Chen Xi wants to suppress the opponent, he will develop in the direction he wants.
It's not that easy either.
This time he made a mistake. To be realistic, Chen Xi misjudged the power level of Rome. To some extent, the Roman Empire was even more powerful than the current Han Dynasty. After all, even with Chen Xi, the Han Dynasty had to crawl out of the mud.
Even if you have a strong foundation, it is still a recovery period after falling from the peak.
Even if it has returned to its former peak, it is still not as good as Rome, which has been moving towards its peak. In this era, the Han Dynasty is definitely stronger than Rome in terms of potential. If the two are close, Chen Ximo can grind Rome to death, but
If compared to the chess pieces on the table, Rome does seem to be stronger than the Han Dynasty, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
"It's my fault. I'm used to using my power to suppress others. It was my negligence that I hit the steel plate this time." Chen Xi sighed and said helplessly, "On Rome's side, unless we can concentrate all our strength
, otherwise I could avoid provoking it, so it’s better not to provoke it now.”
"Hmph, you said you won't provoke me if you don't want to provoke me?" Jia Xu curled her lips and said, "Some things cannot be changed by the subjective will of the upper class. At least after this time, it would be strange for the Yuan family and Roma to not take action when they meet, not to mention Xian Xian.
The news I brought back was not very good."
"Rome." Chen Xi knocked on the table and stretched. Chen Xi still remembers some of the news Jian Yong told when he came back. For example, Rome has actually agreed to form an alliance with Kushan, so after the fall of Anxi,
, besides cleaning up the Yuan family, what Rome would do, the Han Dynasty also had certain speculations about.
"Do you think Roma will help Kuishang?" Chen Xi suddenly asked.
"After all, we humiliated Rome in Anxi, and it is not impossible for Rome to humiliate us in Kushan." Jia Xu said calmly.
"The problem is that the Romans don't even want to occupy Anxi. What's the point of helping Kushan? It's just for the sake of the Han family's face. It's just a joke. Without enough benefits, the Romans won't really do such a thing."
Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"There are enough benefits. On the one hand, it is a loss of face, and on the other hand, can Rome really support such a military? Even if it plunders everything to rest, can Rome really support hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers?
"Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Reducing the burden." Chen Xi thought about the development of history. There is no doubt that Rome was indeed dragged down by such a huge military force in the official history, and Severus would definitely not take the initiative to disarm with his habit of militarization. So Pompeanu
Si's roundabout way of asking for help seems very possible.
In addition, Severus is not really stupid. He also knows that with such a huge army, it will put great pressure on the national finance. If Pompianus gives it a push, Severus might actually give it to him.
The Han Dynasty came to reciprocate with courtesy.
Even thinking about the tendency of Pompianus to reduce the Din on the Parthian battlefield, maybe after Severus defeated the Parthian, he would really use the Kushan battlefield as a good place to reduce the barbarians. After all, they
There is another reason to take back Alexander's homeland, and he is an ally with Kushan...
