Although the Tang Dynasty won this war, Cheng Yaojin is now an old man as mentioned above.
This is not to say that Cheng Yaojin's temperament has changed. This is not the evaluation that a man who is about to return to Beijing to plead guilty for his rashness should say. But it means that Cheng Yaojin today is compared to the passionate young man back then.
, and he also has a lot of strategic qualities. In other words, he belongs to that kind of "general in general".
This means that Cheng Yaojin can not only fight in all directions to kill thieves and defeat enemies, but also has the ability to act as an agent in government affairs and manage the people's livelihood in critical moments.
It is this "strategic literacy" that connects Cheng Yaojin as an old and rough warrior to managing people's livelihood. For the senior general with the most experience in struggle, such strategic literacy is more than just sufficient thinking.
Going deeper, it became an instinct early on, playing a role all the time in Cheng Yaojin's actions in the military and political fields.
In the night conversation that day, Cheng Yaojin expressed his "belief" in the future of Datang in his conversation with Cheng Chumo, but... as a strategic-level general, Cheng Yaojin naturally
You know - this victory seemed to be a decisive victory over the Romans. The strategic situation changed overnight, and it almost became... Rome was almost in despair. But...
Cheng Yaojin also knew very well that an empire like Rome was essentially on the same level as the Tang Dynasty - in other words...
The other side will not follow Wang Hua and accept the rule of China from now on because of the disadvantage of strategic situation, just like Goguryeo Tuyuhun did.
In the final analysis, the circle of forces in Mobei...most of them do not have the qualifications of Shenzhou.
This group of barbarians is often like this. They suddenly rise with great martial virtues, and then... are quickly and gradually eaten away by things other than martial arts. In the final analysis, the internal logic is that this group of barbarians and
The difference between the Han people is not that big. As long as the Han people's government is strong enough, able to fight, and rich enough, and at the same time they spend money on them, the amount does not even need to be too much, they will accept it and bow to it in minutes.
But Rome is different.
This group of people has lived in Europe for generations. Although their ancestors had exchanges of envoys and letters with the Han Dynasty. But...
Not to mention how many times the governments of China and Rome have changed. This little bit of friendship between our ancestors is like Bao Longxing's sesame cake... How much effect can it have? It's easy to imagine.
This group of people has no communication with the Han people, regardless of language, beliefs...even their eating habits are not even remotely similar.
If such a group of people could live in harmony with the Tang Dynasty, it would be like seeing a ghost - of course, this ghost will still be seen in the long run. There is no ghost, and the approach will be solved.
But how to find ghosts is a long-term matter, but the weapons in the hands of the Romans are something that must be solved immediately.
A victory seemed to push the Romans into a desperate situation, but... Cheng Yaojin was also a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Although he did not read much, he still knew this allusion to Bai Qi. After a force suffered a major military setback,
, there are several possibilities, one is to fall apart directly and start civil strife and end up - of course it would be great if this happens, but...
Considering that there is a British ruler in Rome now, the probability of this is probably not high.
The second possibility is what Bai Qi said in his analysis report to the King of Qin after he trapped 400,000 Zhao soldiers. At this time, the entire Zhao country was in panic. If the army went up to try to negotiate terms, the opponent's will to resist would be completely gone.
Disintegrate and get it easily.
But the third situation... eventually led to Bai Qi's own demise, because according to Bai Qi's observation and thinking, the people of Zhao State were shocked and horrified at first, but after a while, the terrifying atmosphere became 100%
If you want to become something else, if you send out a large army to attack at this time, you will have to fight with the determination to die. Of course, the King of Qin at that time was relatively weak, and the God of War's small words and righteousness failed to convince the king in the end, and instead went to the Central Government
After a show of sex, he somehow took the blame and was about to commit suicide.
Of course Cheng Yaojin wouldn't worry about Li Er doing that kind of thing - or rather, Li Er did the Xuanwu Sect thing just to prevent that kind of thing. The key point is that Li Er's level is not good, and he might not be able to do it for Bai Bai.
You can't beat him at all - there's nothing to worry about.
What is worrying is that the situation the Romans are facing now is highly similar to that of Zhao at that time.
So in the next step... what will happen? If he were to change places, Cheng Yaojin would probably make the same judgment as Bai Qi, but... the Romans, after all, are not the Zhao people back then.
For the Zhao people, just giving them the illusion of peace talks after a great victory can break their will to fight. There is no suspense about this, because in the end, it will not really matter if the Zhao people surrender to the Qin people.
After all, Qin people are a creature that everyone is already familiar with. But...
The Romans were different. For them, the Han people were completely unfamiliar.
After defeat, if you really want to surrender, what kind of treatment will you receive after surrender? This is completely unpredictable. If anyone who has read a few books spreads some horror stories in Rome, there is a high probability that the Romans will all
Members gave up their illusions - by then, the already strong bones of Rome would become even more solid as stone.
Rome has its own history, culture, traditions... and the most important "identity", as well as the grassroots intellectuals who mobilized the hearts of the Roman emperor, those governors, these in the Hu tribe empire in Mobei
What doesn't exist, Rome has all the internal organs.
Generally speaking, in the final analysis, Rome is a force with far greater cohesion and resilience than the barbarian regime. If you don't realize this...
Although the general who will be beaten to death in the next step is probably not him, and he is not sure who it is, he can be sure that it must be from the Tang Army...
Cheng Yaojin watched the tents of the entire army extinguish the bonfires and torches one by one, and watched Cheng Chumo return to the tents before he secretly made up his mind... This time he returned to the capital to plead guilty. As for the general's position... it was a high probability.
No more, maybe even the title of the Duke is gone.
But Cheng Yaojin himself doesn't care much about these things. Compared to these...
I can't lead any more troops when I go back this time, which is a good thing in a sense. The Tang Dynasty now has a weapons research institute, and I just want to be transferred to that place...
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin is still the veteran who has bathed in countless blood, but in fact...
