Because inner energy leaving the body and spiritual talent are two completely different paths, no one has passed through them since ancient times. As a result, now it means that Zhou Yu has passed through, and he is going to be the first person in the ages!
"I actually said it in a joking manner at the time. I didn't expect it to actually come true like this. It's really incredible." Chen Xi touched his chin and said, "But this is indeed a good thing. At least it proves that the inner energy Out-of-body and spiritual gifts are not completely incompatible.”
"However, the difficulty level is so high that it still makes people despair." Cheng Yu took Zhou Yu's secret letter from Jia Xu. After reading it, he looked obviously a little disappointed. You must know that this guy is also a very capable civil servant with great fighting ability. It is so high that, excluding those cheating chief registrants, Si Nong, etc., he can basically be in the top three positions among civil servants.
"If you are interested in the future, you can give it a try. Maybe it will work." Chen Xi smiled and said, if Cheng Yu is willing to give it a try, he is very supportive.
"No, I know in my heart whether I can do this kind of thing." Although Cheng Yu was a little disappointed in his words, it did not affect his judgment.
"It seems that the situation is indeed good. Counting Zhou Gongjin's road, after the problems have been solved, we are also ready for the waterway." Chen Xi crossed his hands, propped up his head, and said with a cautious look. .
"The Congling side has also notified, but it is really not suitable to start in the north now. Although we have found a passage that can be entered, the situation is not suitable." Jia Xu saw that Chen Xi's topic turned to the overall layout, and he no longer dwelled on the previous things. , and then said with a little thought.
"Now the situation in Parthia is not good. It is already a matter of time before Rome attacks the winter capital of Ctesiphon for the second time. The three nobles in the east of Parthia are also forced to rush to the battlefield. Going to Parthia has basically no impact." Chen Xi Said with a sigh.
The plan to attack Guishuang from three sides was proposed by Chen Xi, because the opportunity created by Guo Jia was so good that Chen Xi couldn't help but take action.
Tactically speaking, Chen Xi is indeed not very good, but strategically, Chen Xi's vision has too much blessing, and with the resources at hand, Chen Xi can come up with quite shocking plans.
The plan to attack Guishuang on three sides is Chen Xi's new plan based on the current situation. They include Zhou Yu from the waterway, Kong Ming from Congling, Guan Yu's tribe currently located in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, and the Dianqi army, bringing with them the field soldiers. Li You and others are ready to stick to their guns.
Speaking of Zhou Yu on the water route, Chen Xi also knew that Zhou Yu could hardly defeat him, but Chen Xi still made a plan to let Zhou Yu go south, because at this point, if there is any way to cut off Li You's way forward, then he is currently in The Kushan navy in Malacca is definitely one of them.
Even with Li You as the military advisor, Chen Dao as the commander-in-chief, and Huang Zhong following behind, with the size of the Kushan navy currently in Malacca, it would be enough to drag this group of people to death with a steady attack and a step-by-step approach.
Once Li You and others failed to reach the lower reaches of the Ganges River on time as backup, Chen Xi really didn't dare to bet on how much Kushan would counterattack after realizing it.
The situation in the north of Guishuang is evidenced by the intelligence sent back by the Chen family and the results of several battles between the cavalry. The combat effectiveness is still quite guaranteed.
What's more, compared to the situation in the south that was on the verge of collapse, after Chen Xi's in-depth understanding, he was basically certain that the foundation of Vesutiva I should be the northern aristocracy. After all, there are actually several very clear records of its development in the third century.
The rise of Ardashir, the establishment of Sassanid Persia, and most importantly, Ardashir conquered all of Persia while he was alive, and launched a counterattack against Rome, and fought at least two large-scale wars with Rome.
His opponent was Severus' grandnephew, Alexander Severus. Chen Xi could not remember much Western history, but this stage was relatively impressive.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Severus can be regarded as the end of Rome's glory and the peak of Roman military affairs. His son Caracalla was a gravedigger in Rome. As for his grandnephew Alexander Severus, it was Rome that maintained the The last decent emperor of the empire.
After this guy died, Rome entered the crisis of the third century. Twenty-six emperors died in fifty years. Basically, when this guy fell, the Roman Empire could be regarded as entering the past tense.
At the same time, it was the era of Ardashir. He was the son of destiny and the king of kings. In short, a lot of bragging titles were added to Ardashir's head. He regained the land, established an empire, defeated Rome, and forced Surrender the Kingdom of Armenia and make it its vassal.
It can be said that these are the glory of Ardashir, but what is Kushan doing during this time? After all, Vesudeva I did not die. As the longest reigning emperor among the emperors of his generation, what was he doing in the era of Ardashir's rise?
Making an alliance!
This is the answer Chen Xi derived from history.
The reason why the Armenian Kingdom was able to grow was not only the decline of Rome, but also the fact that Vesutiva I, after discovering the rise of Ardashir, neither wanted to cause more trouble, nor wanted to make Ardashir feel better or cause trouble for Ardashir. result.
This method made Ardashir spend too much energy on facing opponents in the west. After repelling Rome and forcing the surrender of the Armenian king, Ardashir was free to turn around and deal with the Kushan Empire.
Chen Xi didn't know what happened during the process of cleaning up the Kushan Empire, but Chen Xi knew some other things and inferred quite a lot from them.
He knew the time when Vesudeva I died, the time when Vesudeva II asked for help, the time when Armenia surrendered, and the time when Ardashir destroyed the Kushan Empire.
The order of these times is as follows. The year after Armenia surrendered, Vesutiva I died, and in the same year II asked Wei for help. Three years later, the Kushan Empire collapsed, leaving only a small area east of the Indus River, and at the same time, the southern The Brahmin territories that had belonged to the Kushans were once again fragmented into a large confederation of small states ruled by the Brahmins…
Speaking of which, it was precisely because of the destruction of the Kushan Empire that Sasanian Persia truly entered its heyday, and Ardashir was able to lose the crown of king of kings and enter the stage of king of kings.
Judging from these time points, there is no doubt that the protagonist Ardashir is indeed very powerful. He destroyed an empire in three years. But if you think about it the other way around, when Vesudeva I was alive, no matter what method he used, the Kushan Empire It was indeed maintaining the dignity of the empire.
What's more, compared with the northern Khorasan and other places lost by the late emperor, when Vesudeva I took them back one by one, it may not be as perfect as the original notification, but there is no doubt that Vesudeva I , Kushan did maintain an imperial posture.
These conclusions that can be seen from history made Chen Xi more vigilant about Vesutiva I. An emperor who could conduct far-reaching and close-attacks at the world level, well, there was no close-attack.
From what can be seen from some historical records, there is no doubt that this guy was subject to the situation in Kushan and had to muddle along a little. But in any case, the other party did have the merits of taking back his homeland and maintaining the situation of the empire. .
Just like the often ridiculed Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, in fact, during the period of Emperor Han Huan, the Han Empire undoubtedly maintained the dignity of the empire and maintained the strongest military strength in the world, even compared to the current Han Dynasty and Rome. In terms of military strength, the Han Empire at that time definitely surpassed Rome.
The character Huan, built with the blood of nearly a million enemies and covering an area of more than one million square kilometers, represents history's general evaluation of Liu Zhi.
To conquer a distant land is called Huan, to be respectful and move the people is called Huan, to conquer a land and conquer a country is called Huan. However, Liu Zhi of that era actually only maintained the dignity and vigor that the Han Empire should have.
This is the case with the so-called empire, and in the face of Ardashir, a founding emperor who could be called the glory of the third century, Vesutiva I still maintained the dignity that the Kushan Empire should have before his death, and did not show any concern for the other party. If you lose face in your hands and say you are weak, it is just to see who you can compete with.
It can be said that of the four emperors who came to the end of the four great empires at the same time, except Liu Xie, who was really weak, the other three, Emperor Severuma and the military emperor, started in North Africa, pacified Rome, and won the crown of Roman emperor. , established the largest military group of the era, destroyed the Parthian Empire, and ended the continuous war between the two empires.
Vorogis V stabbed the late emperor in the back, started a rebellion, purged the country, emerged from a weak position, captured the Mesopotamia, regrouped, and allowed Parthia to prosper again. If he had not met Severus, Rome might not have been able to please the previous philosophical emperor. .
Vesutiva I succeeded to the throne in the troubled times of Kushan, and re-merged the divided Khorasan and Khwarezm into the Kushan Empire. She maintained the territory and dignity that the Kushan Empire should have until her death. It can be said that under this guy When he was alive, Ardashir's troops never entered Kushan territory.
Then there is Liu Xie. Well, he had a good hand, but he was beaten to pieces. He had nothing to say, but in the end he gained some dignity.
Naturally, Chen Xi will not underestimate Vesuthiva I at all. Even if this guy is not the experienced old emperor twenty or thirty years later, qualifications will not get better with age. On the contrary, they may decline.
Therefore, Chen Xi was not willing to bet at all on what an emperor with such qualifications in history would do after being cornered.
So after learning the news about Guo Jia, Chen Xi decided to use the safest way to push Guishangping away, even if it might take more time.
Compared with other plans that may go wrong, it is better to focus on immigration, establish a self-sufficient frontier base, and then rely on farming to eat away the entire country bit by bit.
