It is true that there are some famous generals in that place, but no matter how powerful the famous generals are, they cannot save a country with problems in its national system.
If Guishuang can be unified, Chen Xi may be more cautious and deal with it as an opponent. After all, the place is blocked by natural dangers on several sides, and there is fertile ground inside. As long as they hold on to those key positions, even the Han Dynasty will be far stronger. There is no good way to get past the other party and being trapped by the geographical location.
As for Kushan, who is unable to complete the unification, even if it is stronger on paper, the final outcome will not change in any way.
A country that cannot even unify its own domestic power, even if it is strong, can still exert its power to a certain extent. It is not like the Han Dynasty and has a bloody enemy, the Huns, who can make the Han Dynasty calm down even when the human brain is beaten into the dog's brain. Kill the Huns first.
There really are no such enemies in Kushan. The big pit of the caste system is really the kind that you can't climb out of if you fall in. So Chen Xi has to think about how to deal with that place and kill this kind of place. Chen Xi can't do anything about it, and Chen Xi doesn't intend to eat the remaining poison of the caste system.
It's just that it's hard to come up with any solution now in the hurry. I can only say that I have to take it one step at a time. However, the Han Dynasty has such good ministers and strong generals, and it will be too late when the time comes.
"In short, Kushan is not as difficult as you think. Although we need to spend more energy due to the terrain, climate, logistics, etc., but if we really say it, it will be almost done in about ten years." Chen Xi said with a touch of pride.
Kushan has potential, but Kushan's potential cannot be transformed into force. Speaking of which, it is quite good that the Dayue clan has reached this point. It can even be said that a large part of it is due to destiny, but it has reached this point. One step is the limit.
I don’t have the spirit of the First Emperor who wrote the same text and the same chariot on the same track. I don’t have the spirit of the old Shanyu who is either a Han or a barbarian. I don’t even have the spirit of the Huns’ successors who will kill anyone who stands in my way. So much so that Kushan went astray from the beginning.
After all, among the three methods mentioned above, the worst one is to completely conquer the entire India, build buildings with human heads, and then use force to enslave the entire country.
Although this approach also has very serious hidden dangers, compared to Da Yueshi's approach, which is completely unattainable, the latter may have miraculous effects in India.
After all, the caste system itself has a very high level of slavery. If the most common practice of the Huns is used, maybe a top empire can be established.
Even though this empire was built on the blood and tears of countless slaves, compared to the current situation in Kushan, such a country is far stronger than the current Kushan in terms of force and capital.
However, Dayuezhi is different. They have lost a large part of their own culture. They learned the Han Dynasty's policy of gentle unification without getting a good grasp of it. They also learned from the Xiongnu's brutal suppression methods but failed to get a good grasp of it. Then they relied on two and a half The incomplete means are combined to form a set of policies.
The result turned out to be what it is now. Although Chen Xi didn't know what the Dayue clan had experienced back then, looking at the current situation, Chen Xi could also guess something. Destiny and other things were indeed very powerful, but his own capital determined It has reached the upper limit of what destiny can achieve.
"About ten years." Cheng Yu sighed after hearing this, and chuckled casually, "In this world, for such a big country, it is already a blessing to be able to solve the problem in about ten years, let alone If something unexpected happens, I can still survive until that day.”
"Don't worry, we can all survive until that day." Jia Xu glanced at Cheng Yu. He was a little older than him, but his body was very strong. At least Jia Xu knew that he couldn't beat that guy with his bare hands. After all, he took off his robe. There is still some fat on the body, and that guy is full of tendons.
"I want to ask if it's okay here." After hearing Jia Xu's words, Cheng Yu couldn't help but stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction. He was working out so hard just to live longer, but then he thought about himself. Why did he come here? So he dipped a little wine in his hand, drew it twice, pointed to the north of Kushan and said.
"The road is too difficult to walk. It mainly consists of deserts, Gobi deserts and high mountains. If you walk from there, you will easily fall into it. And compared with the locals, we have no advantage." Chen Xi shook his head and said, from the beginning He didn't even think about going to the Imperial Cemetery.
After all, even the superpowers of later generations have failed there several times, so Chen Xi is still quite timid about going there. Although the Han Dynasty is very strong, if we really want to say strong, it also refers to large army operations. Once caught in that If we engage in a public security war in the quagmire, we will lose more than we gain.
"Open a road, we have that time." Cheng Yu said silently, you don't need to occupy the high mountains and the Gobi Desert, just take a straight line through there, and I have found some maps of that terrain, as long as it is blocked If you move a few positions, you can force the inside to death.
"The difficulty is how to guard those roads. In our country, we don't have to worry about this. Overseas, it's okay if the passage is short. But as you said, with such a long road, if the other party attacks, we It's hard to react." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
If the road is not very long, Chen Xi actually accepts Cheng Yu's suggestion. The problem is that the road is too long. It is too long to get so many caregivers and it can be easily destroyed.
"No, to be realistic, how many people are going to be put on that battlefield, and how many people are we going to move? If we think about it more deeply, since we are going to put so many people on that battlefield, we might as well put them directly on that road. Simple, easy and straightforward." Cheng Yu shook his head and was not dissatisfied because of Chen Xi's denial.
"..." Chen Xi fell into silence after hearing this. Cheng Yu's words seemed to make sense. Since we were going to invest troops everywhere, it would be better to put them all on this road.
"This matter does have some operational meaning, but it still needs some investigation. If we can go from the north to the south, it is indeed a very good plan. After all, compared to only going south, a north-south pincer attack is more suitable for us. situation." Jia Xu nodded, answering on behalf of Chen Xi, but he did not fully agree to the matter.
After all, it is not that easy to open a path in that kind of environment.
"Well, what Wen He said makes sense. If the road can be guarded, building one there is indeed the best choice. However, it does need to be verified. What's more, can we build a road there right now? So many people are a problem." Chen Xi nodded and agreed with the plan, but pointed out another problem.
"These can be postponed for a while. There are not too many plans for this kind of thing. They can be used as reserves. After the domestic repairs are completed, you can go there. There is no rush now." Cheng Yu said nonchalantly, Cao Cao After all, he is taking the route of the Western Regions. If he fights against Rome in the future, Cheng Yu will be under some pressure. If he fights against An Anxi, maybe An Anxi will already be at peace by then.
In this way, the only reliable way is to fight against Guishuang. And to fight against Guishuang, if you go south from the Western Region to fight against Guishuang, the desert and Gobi below and the high mountains and mountains are really deadly.
After all, it was agreed that Cao Cao would be promoted to the nobility based on merit. Faced with that situation, even if he had the strength, he would not be able to show it. In the end, would he be like those aristocratic families, hugging each other for warmth? Are you kidding me? What a man wants in dealing with affairs is to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. Therefore, to attack Guishuang from north to south, even if there is no other way, we must find a way.
Of course there is another reason for this, and that is the location of Peshawar. In fact, if we attack from north to south, the straight line distance from Congling to Peshawar is very short. On the contrary, if we attack from south to north, the distance is very long. , Although Cheng Yu is very old, he is still very wild and wants to start a war to destroy the country.
Maybe it's not strong enough now, but when it develops, maybe it will be enough.
Strength can be accumulated in life, but opportunities are likely to be fleeting. Therefore, take advantage of the current situation and seize the opportunity as soon as possible. The problem of strength can be left to be solved later, but the opportunity is ahead and cannot be missed.
"Okay, I'll keep this matter in mind. I'll give you a reply after I have an accurate investigation." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, after all, the domestic roads have not been completed yet, so how can there be time to repair the foreign roads? However, Cheng Yu's suggestion is indeed of great reference value.
"Then I'll be waiting for your reply." Cheng Yu raised his glass to toast Chen Xi. Chen Xi was so frightened that he quickly raised his glass too. Although Chen Xi held a high position, Chen Xi still felt uncomfortable asking an old man to toast him. accustomed.
"Cheng Zhongde, I found that he and I are very compatible, but he is more interested in martial arts." Jia Xu said while looking at Cheng Yu who left again.
"Because there are people who do strategy better than him, so he focuses his energy on the technical level and does what he is best at, which is actually beneficial to everyone." Chen Xi smiled and said, "I can do a lot Things, but I’m actually just doing what I’m best at.”
"Each person performs his own duties and does not cross commands, which is the meaning of the system." Jia Xu held the wine glass, his eyes wandering to nowhere, but his tone remained solemn.
"Let's work hard from now on, Wen He." Chen Xi smiled and raised his glass, "Even if we want to take off, we still need to work hard to lay a solid foundation. It takes half a mile to travel a hundred miles, and now is not the time for you to go and look around. , even if you are ambitious, you still have to deal with the things in front of you."
When Jia Xu heard this, he drank all the wine in his glass without saying much. They all understood that from now on, they have truly crossed the starting point.
