Of course, this comes back again. Little Hannibal is not a goldfish with only a seven-second memory. As soon as he turns his head, he forgets what he was worrying about just now. It's nothing more than... the Tang Army suddenly started to move recently. To be precise, it's...
"Extra activities" did this.
However, I have analyzed this matter myself, and I will investigate the situation first - whether the Tang army is really causing trouble or just making some wasteland, this is the case. After all, the territory of Europe is still so large, with the Vistula River and the Alps
The severe cold zone in the north is not so easy to cross.
How could this be serious?
But that’s what it is said, since the good brother Xuan Chen has this face, he has to take it seriously, the emperor is not like that. So little Hannibal thought about it and asked, "Is it something in the east?
"
As expected, Wang Xuanchen nodded and said worriedly, "The Tang Army's military strength has become stronger and stronger in recent years. The key is..."
Speaking of this, Wang Xuanchen couldn't help but feel a little stuck.
Because some things...actually cannot be said to be based on the strategic thinking of the Spring and Autumn Period, this is just intuition.
But ordinary people don't have this intuition. It has to be a true strategist who can see extraordinary changes in the situation from events that appear to be - or even not just appear to be, but completely ordinary and completely normal.
And Wang Xuanchen... Although he is not as good as Li Yuan, he has experienced it all these years. As for studying, he was the top academic master among the young generation of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
Even if such a soul cannot be called great, its instinct is certainly worthy of attention - and Wang Xuanchen's instinct clearly told him that this matter was not simple.
Seeing that his old friend was still mumbling and unable to say anything after a long time, little Hannibal couldn't help but frown slightly.
This situation...what's going on.
what is going on!
The Roman ministers and generals around him all felt that the Tang army had bad intentions, and that was all. After analyzing these days, I also found a certain reason. But what about Xuan Chen? This guy is not an ordinary person, and he is not an ordinary person.
generation!
The key is that he is also a Tatar, and he is of the same ethnic group as the "Han people" in the Tang Empire. If even he feels uneasy, then this matter may...
Could it be that it was not what he thought, but that Tang Jun really had a problem?
At this moment, little Hannibal looked at the silent Wang Xuanchen, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. There was indeed something missing in his observation? But, what was it...
After thinking about it like this, Wang Xuanchen was still silent and thinking hard, as if he was organizing his words, while little Hannibal thought about it for a while, but calmed down a lot and expressed his thoughts. That is to say, whatever Tang Jun had said just now,
In any action plan, it is always right to conduct investigation first.
Wang Xuanchen was startled when he heard this, and then nodded.
"Your Majesty is right, this is a wise move. But I think..."
although……
Rationally speaking, in fact, Wang Xuanchen did think that Hannibal's idea of investigating first was right and there was no problem, but he couldn't calm down in his heart. In the end...
Wang Xuanchen did not say anything, and in this embarrassing... but strangely urgent atmosphere at the same time, little Hannibal suddenly made a compromise, and compromise... these two words, in the little Hannibal
In Hannibal's half-life military career, this was rare!
If you are a person who compromises easily and is easily influenced by others, you will have died long ago in the chaos - Eastern Europe, a lawless place where everyone and everywhere are in chaos at all levels, and no one can make any sense.
What Hannibal the Younger meant was that it was too exaggerated to transfer all the main forces of the Roman legion to the west. First of all, it would cost a lot of money, and this only refers to the transportation costs of the army. As for the next step, the army must be in the Alps.
How long will we stay in the mountains? During this period, we will need to build new camps and deal with various problems caused by the transfer of garrison points. How much budget gap will there be? This is not to mention the army moving to the west, and because of the barrier of the Alps
The existence of the cold zone in the northwest...will consume more food.
Not to mention, the distance is even further, and food is still shipped from northern Africa via the Mediterranean Sea as before - things in the Mediterranean are easy to do, the climate is warm, and shipping is cheap. After all, it has become a
There is a mature industrial chain, but the problem is crossing the Mediterranean... In the past, the Roman army belonged to Rome and was stationed around the Mediterranean.
But now the army has to move to the west - this certainly cannot be moved casually, it must be moved to a place with a strategic advantage. In layman's terms, it means to find a high ground. This is another large land route and
It's going to be transported to some high ground that I haven't decided yet...
Originally, little Hannibal had a lot of trust in Wang Xuanchen, a high-performance prime minister who fell from the sky. Not only did he obey his advice, but he would definitely use Wang Xuanchen's suggestions even if he didn't listen to them.
After careful consideration, more than half of the time, as long as Wang Xuanchen insisted on a certain suggestion, little Hannibal would eventually adopt it.
But this time, the cost is indeed too high, and... so many legions do not sit in Rome's mainland, but go to places outside the country to guard... Although it is also to defend the mainland, what about the internal stability of the mainland?
all.
So to sum it up, Wang Xuanchen suggested that all legions should be transferred to the north to prevent a sudden attack by the Tang Empire's army. No matter what little Hannibal thinks or thinks...
It's also unacceptable.
It’s not that I can’t accept it, but it’s the objective conditions of the Roman Empire that I refuse to accept!
Therefore, although this time it was a compromise, and there was no doubt that... objectively speaking, it was a huge compromise, but little Hannibal only agreed to half of the proposal - as for the other half, it meant that he could not move at all.
.
Of course, on the other hand, little Hannibal did not believe that the strength of the Tang army was enough to penetrate half of his own Roman army and invade Europe. After all, the legion... was an invincible Roman legion!
Wang Xuanchen felt a little relieved when he saw that his lord finally used the trick. Now he could finally feel more at ease...
After all this wrangling, Wang Xuanchen also realized that strong advice was a disaster rather than a blessing. Although his lord was a wise master, he himself was a foreigner...
Unlike Hannibal the Younger, Wang Xuanchen has always deeply remembered the fact that he is a Han - although this does not mean that Wang Xuanchen has any deep feelings for China, but when he is in Rome and is in a situation, it is better to be careful.
