When Vesudev I heard this, his expression changed slightly. He only considered the issue from a political perspective and never thought about the military aspect. It seemed that he did not need to go to the front line.
"Why are you going to the front line?" Altay looked at Vesutiva I with some strangeness, "Have you ever heard of the old saying of the Han Dynasty? If the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, you are more than a rich man."
Vesutiva I nodded slightly. He admitted this. From a military perspective, Altay was right, but from a political perspective, if he didn’t go to the battlefield and get a tie or victory, he would always be disappointed. I feel like something is missing.
"There is really no need to go to the battlefield. As long as Khosroi and Oswin can hold on, we only need to continuously provide them with food, grass and reinforcements. It is even best that I don't even go to the front line." Altay Looking at Vesuthiva I, he said extremely cautiously.
It is obvious that Altay considers the issue from a military perspective. The face gain and loss of marrying a princess are actually not very important to an 80-year-old man like Altay. Marrying a princess is a success, and everything else is regarded as a waste. A fool who says grapes are sour.
Of course, the most important point is that Altay is really too old. He borrowed the origins of multiple gods and Buddhas to restore Altay's state. But in fact, this kind of recovery is closer to life extension, although it is indeed rejuvenation to a certain extent. , but the life extension brought about by breaking through the internal air separation is more about the solidification brought about by the rendering of the cell level by one's own power.
Altay's own cells are already aging. Even if they are rejuvenated, it is more due to the effect of enhanced life force. Although it is much better than before, Altay's current physical condition is still in his sixties. , the durability may be better, but in other aspects, it is still far from being completely young. You must know that the peak of top commanders is generally in their forties or fifties.
Even if his physical condition is still good and his experience continues to accumulate with the war, as the old saying goes, whether the seventy-year-old Bai Qi can beat his fifty-year-old self is definitely a question. He may have an advantage in experience, but experience On the other hand, this kind of thing can also be called a stereotype.
Good things are good things, but they are only for ordinary people. For the strong people who have no way out and have created their own path, experience may not be a good thing. The origin of the barriers between knowledge and vision is that they fell into the trap of their predecessors. in experience.
Therefore, although the current Altay is much stronger than before, Altay estimates based on experience that it is a question whether he can have an advantage against Rahul now, let alone his peak period. Under this premise, Altay's His thinking was very clear, so he should set the Poseidon Needle.
The command of one large legion means that there is room for struggle, so the command of two large legions means that you have the qualifications to deal with it. Especially when the commander of a certain large legion is very famous and has many achievements, then as long as he exists, he can Stabilize people's hearts.
Altay is in such a situation now. He knows very well that he is no longer the macho man he was forty or fifty years ago. Although he is famous, his real ability can never support such a reputation, so the best choice is to sit in one place. , let young people free their hands and feet to fight.
It doesn't matter whether he makes a move or not. As long as Altay is still there and has not exposed his soft-footed shrimp nature, the Han Dynasty will definitely be wary of Altay when he takes action. After all, he is a well-known person with a strong record and will not make people suspicious. famous general.
This is Altay's combat thinking. It is very stable, and more importantly, it is really effective, especially now that Altay has recovered 90% of his condition. He works hard, cleans up the army, and shows enough versatility to even defeat the Han Dynasty. The intelligence system has been deceived.
After all, before taking action, everyone can only look at the record, and Altay's record is really strong, so as long as it is not exposed, no one will have any doubts about this thing.
Just like the Wei and Jin Dynasties at the end of the Han Dynasty, because the Han Dynasty had been strong for four hundred years, during the Three Kingdoms period, the major princes came and went to attack the barbarians.
Even Gongsun Du, who is considered a scumbag among the princes, can attack Karasuma in the west, Xianbei in the north, and Goguryeo in the east. Gongsun Kang, who is not well-known in the Three Kingdoms, can destroy the royal city of Goguryeo. South Korea forcibly collected taxes and could be called the overlord of western Liaoning.
In the later period, a scumbag force like the Gongsun family in western Liaoning, which could not even be named in the Central Plains, was beaten by Sima Yi with 40,000 people, and could not hold on for a hundred days, could even sneak into Xianbei and engraved private letters to appoint officials. After receiving it, the Xianbei leader thought over and over again and decided to pay taxes first.
What is a strong man? This is a strong man.
This is why, during the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty kings recruited Wuwan, Xianbei, and Jie people on a large scale. In the early days, these foreign tribes did not dare to mess around. Even Liu Yuan, who initiated the Yongjia Rebellion, was a serious person. They admired the Han family, worked hard to learn Han culture, and did not dare to slack off. For sixteen years, the northern Hu people did not dare to have any superfluous thoughts.
After all, the last time the Han family was in civil strife, many Han people died, but many barbarians died too. Some were slaughtered by Cao Cao, some were captured by Cao Cao as young men, some were recruited by Cao Cao to fight Shu Wu, and some were captured by Sun Quan. Those who went to farm, those who were incorporated into the army, those who were demoted as slaves, those who were organized into households by Zhuge Liang to unite the people, those who were organized into the army to fight against Cao Wei, etc...
In short, the strength of the Han Dynasty was quite outrageous for the surrounding barbarians. They could not defeat them even if they were in turmoil. It was better to obey the orders.
After all, the Han family was in such chaos for the past hundred years. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuwan, Jie, Di, and Qiang people all tried it to see if they could get some benefits, and the result...
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, Wuwan went south, Zhang Liao defeated Wuwan and slaughtered him.
In the 19th year of Jian'an, more than 10,000 Qiang and Xianbei people rode out of Xiliang. Xia Houyuan fought with them in the field, defeated them and massacred them.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, King Dou Mao of Di led ten thousand people to take advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness and plundered them. Cao Cao personally led an army to fight and massacre them.
Cao Cao was really cruel in this aspect, but this way of burying all of you in one group regardless of whoever stirs up trouble is indeed shocking enough. At the very least, the barbarians in the north were punished like this, and they really calmed down and feared. Cao Cao was very good at using force but not morality, and using violence to counter violence.
Therefore, during the Eight Kings Rebellion, although the northern barbarians had ideas, they did not dare to implement them. What really exposed the incompetence of the Western Jin Dynasty was actually Liu Yuan's son going south to the grass valley, directly conquering the capital Luoyang, and capturing Emperor Huai of Jin. For more than a hundred years, The remaining power was destroyed.
Needless to say later, the other Hu people quickly went south to grab it. They couldn't defeat the Han Dynasty, and they couldn't defeat you Xiongnu? You Huns are nothing, eat my iron fist.
Naturally, everything will be destroyed later. When surrounded by wolves, if you are not strong enough and miss the bottom, that is the rhythm of complete destruction.
Although Altay doesn't know what will happen in the future, as an 80-year-old man who has experienced the world, Altay knows how much a strong self means to this country, and if he wants to keep his secrets secret, the best way is not to take action.
Therefore, Altay bluntly said that Vesudeva I should not go to the front line. The loss of Balayaga was indeed a heavy loss, but as long as the next war could be sustained, they might not be able to fight back. The temporary victory or defeat was not that important.
"Uncle, it is our Guishang who marries the princess of the Han Dynasty, not the princess of the Han Dynasty. In that case, why don't we marry in a glamorous manner? If we can't do it, then accept it, but we are not doing it now. Not enough." Vesutiva I felt Altay's will and knew that words like words could not convince Altay, so he made it clear directly.
Ever since the founder of the country, Yan Gaozhen, was beaten for marrying a princess, the Dayue clan had been obsessed with marrying a Han princess one day.
Vesutiva I can guarantee that his obsession with this aspect will be lighter than that of Altay, because Altay's father is very likely to have participated in that battle. The so-called century-old wish has never been a person's wish. , but everyone’s thoughts.
Therefore, after Vesudev I's words came out, the state of mind that Altay had developed over the past eighty years could not help but change.
"If we really can't defeat or stop us, and have no choice but to surrender, then I will definitely not go to death, but will quietly marry the princess of the Han Dynasty here in Qunu City." Vesutiva I said softly .
"But now, it's not that we can't do it. Even if there will be a lot of sacrifices, how many young men of the Great Yueshi have worked hard for more than ten years for this day!" Then without waiting for Altay's reply, Vesutiva I's The voice was a bit louder, "There are even many young people who have gone from black hair to gray hair just for this day, and they have not even waited for this day in their entire lives!"
"It is impossible for me to marry him as the Yuezhi King. I will marry him as the Kushan Emperor." Vesutiva I looked at Altay extremely seriously, "Fight, win, and tell them that we have the right to marry him." Qualification, not picking up the slack, is what we can do.”
Altay's reason told him that this was wrong, but the feelings he had accumulated over the decades were gushing and burning. Even he had to admit that what Vesutiva I said was right.
At that time, their founding emperor Yan Gaozhen helped Ban Chao defeat the Shache Kingdom, sending troops and strength. After the battle, he brought a heavy gift and begged Ban Chao to advise the Han emperor to allow their Kushan to marry a princess canonized by the Han Dynasty.
However, Ban Chao didn't even make a gesture and directly rejected Yan Gaozhen. Even though there was a high probability that it was caused by Da Yuezhi's gaffe, Ban Chao's gesture was just two words short of straight and unworthy.
When I, Da Yuezhi, asked you, Ban Chao, to ask for the princess, you didn't even mean to say anything and refused directly. You even became the master of your emperor? Just say it’s not worthy!
Later, he refused to accept it and led his troops to fight. He was beaten directly by Ban Chao and was finished. This directly proved that he was really unworthy.
To be honest, this kind of treatment, let alone the Da Yuezhi people who were affected by the Han Dynasty's revenge, is actually not a big problem even in modern times, even if they are recorded for three generations.
Altay is basically the second or third generation of the Yuezhi nobles who experienced that incident. Therefore, when Vesutiva I mentioned this incident, Altay's sensibility really couldn't get over it. It would be fine if he didn't have the strength, but There is real power now.
At the very least, judging from what Altay has collected so far, the current Han Dynasty can indeed be called powerful, but compared to the Da Yueshi during the years of Dou Xian and Ban Chao, the gap has not widened to the original level. Completely unbeatable.
If the country's combat effectiveness is calculated based on the college entrance examination scores, the Han Dynasty's score at that time was about 650 points, while the Da Yueshi's was only 200 points. The combat effectiveness of both sides was calculated based on times.
Now the Han Dynasty has about 750 points, and the Da Yueshi has about 650 points, or even more. After all, after being beaten by Ban Chao in these years, Guishang has worked hard on his internal strength and truly improved his combat effectiveness. In fact, According to current archaeological and historical records, Kushan did not stop penetrating into the Han Dynasty radiation area before its collapse.
Intimidated by neighboring countries, they negotiated with distant lands, controlled a wide area, and reached the east of Congling Mountain and Fanwei in the west of Hexi. They were afraid of the power and surrendered. This is the record of Kushan in the Tang Dynasty. Simply put, Kushan tried to penetrate and infect Western Regions, and the actual success was the Han Dynasty's two-body money.
It is obvious that the Western Regions, as a vassal of the Han Dynasty, have actually been influenced by Kushan. The use of currency has obviously begun to integrate Kushan currency, with Chinese characters on the front and Lu characters on the back. What this means is self-evident - that failure After that, Kuishang worked harder.
After a hundred years, although there is a gap between the two sides, in terms of magnification, it has narrowed a lot. In terms of actual gap, it has narrowed to the point where a battle can be fought. This is why Vesudeva I dared to say that an upright fight, an upright fight The confidence to win.
After all, today's Kuishang is no longer the poor poor man it was a hundred years ago. Even if its strength is not as good as that of the Han Dynasty, it can still concentrate its strength to compete with the Han Dynasty.
So this time, Vesudeva I decided to fight no matter what, at least to have confidence - I, Vesudeva I, was not lucky, so the princess of the Han Dynasty came to vote. It was all the warriors who threw their heads and shed their blood. Hundreds of years of savings allowed the Han Dynasty to take it seriously.
What is the overall situation? It is not that Vesutiva I married the princess by luck, but that the Yuezhi recognized themselves from top to bottom. It was not luck or accident. At least nine CDs were obtained through their hard work. .
"The name is right and the words are right." Vesutiva I said sincerely to Altay in Chinese. They have become stronger and there is no need to wrong themselves.
Altay smiled bitterly, but at the same time, he inexplicably agreed with Vesutiva I's theory. Thinking about it, the Yuezhi people have been working hard for this day for several generations. Thinking about this, even an old man like Altay Some blood surged up.
At this moment, the already old Altay was just as he had been when he captured Khwarezm and Khorasan, forced his troops to rest, defeated Vorogis IV, and stood on the west side of Congling. He was extremely excited, waiting for orders to advance at any time. It’s normal in the Western Regions.
