The cooperation between Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan is the most important. It is very important to have a cavalry that has guaranteed mobility and can even suppress the cavalry when necessary.
Compared to this point, although the heavy cavalry and head-on head-on regiments are also very important, in terms of strategic configuration, they may not be as important as Xiahou Dun's current fifth-generation garrison.
What's more, the terrain of the Imperial Cemetery is not a place like Eastern Europe where you can run around casually. The light cavalry can barely tolerate the terrain, but the heavy cavalry may not be able to run around.
Therefore, Lu Qian has always ignored Xiahou Dun's remarks. No matter what he said, I can only comfort you anyway. I will never choose to develop in the direction of heavy cavalry because of your retarded considerations. I will obediently go to the assault cavalry.
Route it.
On the north side of the Volga River, Huangfu Song was also reading the recent battle reports. Huangfu Song was quite satisfied with the current situation. Although not many Roman soldiers were killed and his own family also suffered considerable losses, these were all understandable.
At most, considering the overall situation in Rome, the barbarians that the Han Dynasty is currently trying to kill are equivalent to contributing to the eternal existence of the Roman Empire. However, there is no way around it. We have to kill these barbarians. These things
The combat effectiveness is still very fierce.
"Overall, it's okay. I feel a little unhappy at most. Not killing a Roman barbarian is equivalent to helping the Roman Empire consolidate its foundation. This feeling is really unpleasant. I have to say that there are capable people in Rome!"
Huangfusong threw aside the battle reports from various places and said casually.
"Whoever allows the other party to take the strategic initiative and move forward and retreat freely, no matter what we choose, as long as there is still fear in our hearts, the other party will take advantage of it to obtain considerable benefits. In this situation, it can only be said that we are suppressed in the overall situation.
." Shen Pei said calmly.
Regarding the fact that Rome can gain benefits regardless of victory or defeat, Shen Pei knew it when he entered the battlefield, but there was no way around it. The Roman Empire was now completely equivalent to being the banker, and the barbarian army and the Yuan family were the participants.
of.
Among them, the gambling capital of the barbarian army is their lives. If they win the bet, they can become citizens. The gambling capital of the Yuan family is the territory of Eastern Europe. If they lose the gambling, they can go back.
This is simply an unfair gamble. If the barbarian army loses, they will have nothing. From the perspective of the Yuan family, if they win, it will only be a negligible benefit. However, if the Yuan family loses, they will still have a chance to make a comeback. If they win, it will be basically equivalent to
laid the foundation for the future.
But Rome, as the banker, went too far. No matter whether the Yuan family won or the barbarian army won, they could all get a part of the profit. At most, it was a matter of how much.
This made the Yuan family very unhappy. However, the situation was stronger than others, so they could only sit on the plate offered by the Roman Empire and gamble. In this case, it would be strange to feel better.
"Our greatest victory is just to protect what should be ours. After all, legally speaking, Eastern Europe belongs to the Slavs, and the Slavs submitted to our Yuan family, so the Yuan family, the representative of the Han Dynasty here, inherited this
"Legalism, it's a pity..." Shen Pei said unhappily. It's a pity that it's useless to be dissatisfied. Country-to-country does not rely on friendship!
"But at least we still have a way to win. The situation hasn't gotten that bad yet. But before that, let's just do some part-time work for Rome." Huangfusong said helplessly, "But I just came out to fool around.
You will have to pay it back sooner or later, and Rome’s way is not a good way.”
As a professional fence-sitter, Huangfusong had a good political vision. At most, he chose to sit on the fence when he had no choice but to compete among forces.
With thousands of years of Chinese history in mind, how could Huangfu Song not know the state of Rome? If you can’t even see this, then compare it with the history of your ancestors and the thousands of years of effort and energy expended by China on its development.
, if Rome could continue to be so simple, then wouldn’t it mean that China’s thousands of years of countless wise men and countless heroes and sages would become a joke!
Since our history is not a joke, there is no doubt that the unlucky boy in Rome seems to be developing into a joke.
This is why Huangfu Song knew that every time he killed a European barbarian, it was equivalent to laying a handful of loess on the foundation of the Roman Empire, but Huangfu Song did not stop this from happening. He wanted to see how the Roman Empire was being destroyed.
The tide of the times has overturned the previous struggles.
At least Huangfusong couldn't see a shred of hope for the Roman Empire. Even if they were doing these actions now, in Huangfusong's view, they could only be regarded as a dying struggle at best. Of course Huangfusong admitted that a classical **** empire,
Before he self-destructs, even he can't look down upon him, but he can't look down upon him, which doesn't mean Huangfu Song can't watch the fun.
The Roman system was hopeless. This was the unified conclusion reached by all the wise men of the Han Dynasty. It was also the conclusion that the most core senators in the Roman Empire's Senate reached after seeing the Han Dynasty system.
Even if Chen Xi has the ability to transcend the long river of history and stand at the downstream of the years to observe the current Rome, he can only sigh - unless the Roman Empire does not self-destruct, the end of the Roman Empire is basically a historical necessity.
After all, the citizenship system is an exploitative system that is close to slavery. Unless Rome can complete the Industrial Revolution 1,500 years later and transform production relations in a very short period of time, Rome will be finished sooner or later.
A large part of the reason for all countries that use high welfare as a point of purchase is that they can obtain benefits sufficient to maintain such welfare from other places. When the size of the country reaches a certain level, the high level of welfare it needs to maintain will
Welfare has the potential to overwhelm the country itself.
It is said that it is easier to work when there are more people, and it is easier to eat when there are fewer people. It is okay for a small country to play this way, but the Roman Empire, a huge empire that currently accounts for almost a quarter of the world's population, will die sooner or later if it continues to play like this.
The sad thing is that I have to go on even though I know this is a dead end.
After all, their position under the butt, the position under the buttocks of all the citizens who support them, and the core interests of Roman citizens represented by the Roman Empire all force them to continue to follow this path.
In official history, why did Caracalla capsize, and why did Rome say that after Caracalla granted citizenship to all people on the Roman map, the Roman Empire could never stand up again. To put it bluntly, it was not just those who formed the core of this country.
People denied this country, and those barbarians who were awakened by these words looked at the Roman citizens with eager eyes.
This country is hopeless and will end sooner or later. This is the final conclusion Herodian came to after personally coming to the Han Dynasty to compare the systems of the two sides.
However, even Severus, who was almost a tyrant, and even Pompianus, who dared to use his power to trick and kill one-third of the Senate members, they did not dare to lift the lid. This is not a matter of courage, but a matter of courage.
It's simply impossible to uncover.
"Just wait, this is the best Rome can do. We still have time to slowly save up." Huangfu Song showed a rare look of pride.
If it can be said that during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was in a state of decay, corruption was rampant, and the entire country was almost hopeless, at least Huangfu Song could still see some possibility of rectifying the original source, and some possibility of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
Rome has gone down a one-way street.
"Yes, this is the biggest difference between us and the Roman Empire. The Han Dynasty relies on such a huge territory now. As long as it takes more than twenty years to cultivate and rest, the Han Dynasty can be several times stronger than before. And Rome, even if
If we can expand, we probably have to think twice about it." Shen Pei nodded and said, this is also the reason why the Yuan family dared to make up their mind to attack Rome in the future.
The situation in Rome is somewhat close to peaking and declining, but after the Han Dynasty climbed out of destruction, it has not yet reached its peak, and may even be heading towards its peak in the next fifty or even one hundred years.
In terms of development, the gap is very large.
"The current Han Dynasty is about the same as Rome, and even Rome is even worse. But after we take down these places one by one and digest them, Rome will really be nothing." Shen Ping said with emotion, this is also
What he admires most about Chen Xi is.
Unlike the cyclical chaos in the Central Plains, where the princes rose up and then returned to unification, Chen Xi used his own way to eliminate these unstable factors in the Central Plains. With the blood transfusion from the big heart of the Central Plains, these unstable factors became
became an available part.
What's more important is that this completely transcendent approach allowed the Han Dynasty to finally break away from the routine of "the general trend of the world: if we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide."
Many times, when Shen Pei looks at the current Han Dynasty and its fiefdoms, as well as some of the territory that will belong to it in the future, he will have an idea - after Yuan Feng, even if another ancestor dragon is born, it will be difficult to unify.
Because of the centripetal force of culture, an alliance can be formed with the Han Dynasty as the center. As for unification, it can probably only reach the current level at best.
Because it is so big, the territory has reached far beyond the limit that a single empire can control. The distance is tens of thousands of miles. Even if roads are actually built, how can it be controlled.
In this way, the so-called rise and fall will undergo very big changes. More importantly, according to the habits of Chinese civilization, this semi-autonomous model of subjects adding fiefdoms will form a circle under the effect of cultural centripetal force, a circle based on the Central Plains.
cultural circle as the center.
What's more important is that this circle has absolute force and enough wealth. It may even be the largest circle in history.
Shen Pei doesn’t know what will happen at that time, but what Shen Pei can infer is enough to shock Shen Pei. To a certain extent, in this case, the change of dynasty can only change the name of a country at most, but it cannot be changed.
