Chen Xi didn't know that the pie he drew for Li You and others had been confirmed by Li Jue to be authentic, and that Rome, which was about to be in chaos, was forcibly stopped from committing suicide because of the existence of a powerful opponent in the sky.
Unlike Anxi, who knew the strength gap between the two sides and cheated his own people to death, the Romans were very serious when facing their opponents.
The main reason why Rome was in crisis in the third century was that it had no rivals. Just like the Han Dynasty, which was undefeated in the world, Rome also entered a state of invincibility after pushing aside Anxi, and had no rivals in the world.
In this prosperous era with no foreign enemies, it seems that no one can hold back and seek death. This situation cannot be saved by either the East or the West.
In the previous life, Rome never received any news about another powerful empire, but in this battle in Central Asia at Ganasis, no matter whether the Romans won or lost, they all understood that Rome was never alone in this world, and there were people in the far east. A powerful empire that points its sword at the world just like them.
The vast distance could not stop the ambition of the Romans, and the Romans did not feel that the rolling yellow sand could hinder the determination of another empire to conquer.
The so-called empire will never destroy its own ideas because its opponent is far away. Likewise, the so-called empire will never perish because its opponent is strong. The empire is not afraid of expeditions or failure. It is lonely and proud, and is always ready to conquer its own enemies. opponent.
Even if a country is large and warlike, it will perish. This saying has never been suitable for an empire. For an empire, peace can only make it tired. Only the battlefield of iron and blood can build an immortal empire. When foreign wars stop, when the empire conquers The moment the footsteps stopped, the empire entered its twilight years.
A vigorous dynasty always has the determination to expand its territory, not to be afraid of others, and has the belief to be undefeated. When conquests stagnate, and when the enemy surrenders, the empire loses the power it once had. Due to internal strife and the collision of vested interests, the empire became a fleeting thing in an instant.
The Han Dynasty of the past, the Rome of today. In fact, they are about to cross the peak of the empire, and the moon is full and waning. The difference is that the Romans still have an enemy named Anxi who has been fighting with them for hundreds of years, while the Han Dynasty has no enemies.
The collapse of the Parthian Dynasty also meant the fall of the Roman Empire. The pace of conquest stopped in Central Asia, which means that the strife within the empire has begun. If the iron and fire of the empire cannot erupt outwards, it is destined to vent internally.
Neither the glorious Rome nor the powerful Han Dynasty died at the hands of foreign enemies. In the end, they collapsed in shame by their own people. The prosperity of the empire faded away, leaving only traces of nostalgia.
However, when Li Jue appeared in Central Asia and the Romans rested in peace with a whip, it was destined to never happen again.
The Romans did not have the concept of the sky being the same as the sun, nor the idea of the earth being the Lord of the earth, but this did not mean that the Romans would allow a powerful empire to be by their side, an empire powerful enough to push them into the abyss.
Likewise, the Han Empire was clearing the grasslands. After conquering the north and the south, looking back at Central Asia, I am afraid that I will not have any happy thoughts when I see the powerful Qin Empire.
Even if the distance between the two sides is thousands of miles, even if both sides share a piece of land, this cannot stop the determination of an empire. A powerful enemy is not a threat to an empire, but on the contrary, it should be regarded as a help!
Because of strength, because of fear, because of confidence, because of fear. There are countless reasons why the empire's desire to conquer will not stop even if it is thousands of miles away.
Just like the Roman Parliament, after receiving the news from the Duke of Border County, it immediately suppressed the turmoil in the Parliament. Just as they began to shift the conflict outward, after Li You and others received the news from Li Jue, their first reaction was to think about unifying as soon as possible and compete with the other party.
However, unlike Rome, Li You and others had been tortured by Chen Xi long before the news came, and they were sufficiently mentally prepared. It is completely different from the situation in Rome where many people pounded the table and expressed disbelief.
It's just that the Romans are still a unified country after all, and they have considerable advantages in many aspects. At least they have completely integrated the country's internal situation and re-armed the vassal states much faster than the Han Empire.
In short, the eyes of the wise men at the top of both sides turned completely red after seeing another great empire clearly appearing on the continent. Both sides knew very well what an ancient empire meant, and what kind of power the threat of the same powerful empire would have. They They all understand.
The battle between the empire and the empire was already doomed when Li Jue and Ganassis met. The confident and arrogant empire, the confident and equally arrogant Romans and the Han people all destined that peace between the two sides was impossible.
Even if the distance of thousands of miles means that it is impossible for the two sides to collide head-on, the existence of the empire means that it is impossible to admit defeat. A war on the mainland is almost impossible, and the place where the two sides will fight has been decided during the conversation between Ganassis and Li Jue. down.
Just like the Romans ignored the Parthian Empire, the Han Empire would not take the interests of the Parthian Empire to heart after it truly entered the stage of competition. The empire that went abroad was the real beast. In the country, it could not show its strength no matter what. Showing the temperament of the empire.
Just like Li Jue's words when he crossed the border and confronted Ganassis, he righted his position. Empires are never created by staying at home. Instead, they go abroad to conquer and conquer enemy countries. Conquer the opponent and rely on your own bravery to establish it!
Just like dragons do not coexist with snakes, tigers never regard mad dogs as their enemies. The only friends and enemies of an empire are the empire. This empire can be its enemy or itself. The collapse of an empire will never be the result of the efforts of a small country. , usually seeking death by oneself...
What the empire is, even Chen Xi can't clearly say, but now Li Jue can say it, the empire is a will, a style, and also a momentum, a kind of power that allows you to travel everywhere in the world. A fearful attitude.
In the vast China, how many people in the late Han Dynasty could understand the mentality of Ban Chao and dozens of people who defeated several countries in the Western Regions. I am afraid that few people still understand the mentality of Wang Xuance in the Tang Dynasty when he destroyed the country by himself.
The empire is behind me. I am fearless. If I die, the Mother Congress behind me will let your entire country give an explanation.
Compared with the glory of the empire, what is the pity of my life? The moment I step out of the country, in order to protect the glory of the empire, what should I not abandon my life? The strength of the Han and Tang Dynasties is not just soldiers and armor. What is even stronger is the imperial heart hidden in the hearts of the people! (To be continued.)
