Chapter 1018

"A hundred miles west of the panchi River, a large number of enemy cavalry were found!"

"Light the beacon!"

The Pinchi river is west of the Congling mountains and is no longer part of the Congling mountains.

The Han Empire used to say that northwest Xinjiang was Xiliang. After the recovery of the western regions, the official name was anxidu protectorate, but the people used the name northwest Xinjiang in the former western regions.

Now northwest Xinjiang is far larger and wider than when it was still Xiliang, but the living environment is much worse.

Also, the western region is originally an environment full of deserts and Gobi. Before, those small tribes relied on Oases to establish their own regime. Almost every large oasis supported a kingdom, and small oases let people establish a small city-state.

A good place is controlled and occupied by the strong, which is a matter of course. The past kingdoms and city states have been destroyed by the force of the Han Empire, and there are no more so many forces. Now even if there are forces, they also belong to horse thieves.

The former western regions capital guard and the current Anxi capital guard have never relaxed their suppression and killing of bandits. It's just that some horse thieves can't be eliminated with much force. They are usually horse thieves who often hide in the desert. The Han Army suppresses such horse thieves when they find them, but won't follow the desert in circles.

For the Han Army, the natural environment was far more dangerous than the enemy.

Fighting or something, the Han army is confident that it can face enemies of any level, but nature

The last time Li Kuang led his army to capture hunit, he killed many enemies and plundered many materials, but he artificially created a buffer zone of nearly 300 Li.

According to their own needs, the Han Army built beacons wherever appropriate, or even fortresses when the terrain was good enough.

To the west of the Pinchi river is actually a basin. Compared with the Anxi capital guard, the other side is a green place.

Under the threat of the Han Army, the hunites shrank back more than 300 miles. As soon as they shrank, they almost shrank to the West Bank of the Amu Darya River.

When the original owner of the land fled, the land became a land without owner. When the Han people and Guiyi Hu people in the area of anxidu Hufu looked, they almost said: Well, it's a pity that such a good land doesn't grow (herd) anything!

As a result, the Han people tried again and again to test the attitude of Anxi Du's guard. Seeing that Anxi Du's guard didn't want to control at all, Sahuan seemed to have to run over.

With the Han people as the beginning, Guiyi Hu people said that we must follow what the Han people did, and then Hula also ran to a large group of people.

"The intelligence came from the Han people with water, and our scouts have verified it."

"How many?"

"No less than 80000 infantry and horses have been found, and there are an unknown number of enemy troops in the rear."

"The hunites are looking for death!"

The beacon fire of the fortress has been lit. Behind it are beacon towers or fortresses and military forts. The beacon fire is constantly lit by relay to convey military information to the rear.

Long, long ago, such scenes often occurred in various sections of the Great Wall. Once you see the beacon rising to the sky every few miles from the section of the Great Wall, it represents the invasion of the great army of Hu Lu.

It's just a change of region, but the meaning is the same.

Anxi Du's guard house is located in the shogunate of Gu mo. Li Kuang was a little stunned after being reported.

"The hunites took the initiative to launch an offensive?" Li Kuang couldn't understand it at all and said in wonder, "are they abandoning themselves?"

The last time they entered hunit territory, it was not the most important how many hunit troops they killed, but they almost beat most of hunit into white land.

Almost half of the territory has been broken. Even a semi farming and semi nomadic country like hunnit will not suffer as much as half of the borders of the farming people, but it is really not far from paralysis.

Fortunately, hunit is a semi farming and semi nomadic country. At the same time, as an agricultural area, the West has not been ravaged by the Han army. Otherwise, we really don't have to wait for the second attack by the Han army. We are really killed at one time.

How long has it been? It should be less than a year. What is wrong with the hunit people that they should take the initiative to start a war!?

"What happened?" Li Kuang has been busy with the affairs of Guiyi Hu people recently. He doesn't pay enough attention to hunit's half disabled country: "is there anything I didn't notice?"

In fact, Zhao Chang was at a loss. What he knew was that hunit was still retreating some time ago. He really didn't understand what kind of madness Glen badis had before he gathered a large army to take the initiative to break the border.

Glen badis is the current king of hunit, the Huns and related nomads are called Shan Yu, and the Arameans and those farming based ethnic groups are called the king.

Hunit itself is a multi-ethnic country. Nomadic tribes account for the majority in the East and agricultural areas account for the majority in the West. In fact, they do not have a strict system and usually manage their own affairs.

When winter comes every year, some leaders with enough weight will be summoned to the plain in the southeast of the Aral Sea by grunbades, which can be regarded as a relatively serious "Grand Court meeting". However, in order to share the tax share with each leader, grunbades's second purpose is to discuss some big and small matters.

"Eighty thousand infantry have been found, and there are unknown numbers of enemy troops?" Li Kuang thought this was very wrong: "last time we wiped out 70000 hunit troops, and the hunit people who died in the war will not be less than 300000. Can they gather 80000 steps to ride, or even more?"

Zhao Chang also felt something wrong.

According to the information of anxidu protector on hunit, hunit is a country with a population of about 12.3 million. Before that, there were not so many young adults, almost 23 of the young adults of the whole country disappeared, and at least 80000 or more were recruited in less than a year?

"What if they can win a small victory if Glen bades does so?" According to his own understanding, Li Kuang said: "for a country like hunit, if the young die, can they still exist?"

Let alone hunnit, if the young people of any country die, they will not be destroyed by the outside world, and the country should become chaotic and doomed to subjugation.

"Glen bades is a capable man!" Zhao Chang sighed, "at least he can do it."

For a king without executive power, he had to sit on the throne in the face of the last disastrous defeat, and even be kicked off the throne and beheaded. However, grenbadus was still the ruler of hunnit.

I would like to mention a time difference here. The news of the domestic riots has not yet reached the Anxi capital guard. After studying for a long time, Li Kuang and Zhao Chang will not think that hunit is not crazy, but has the support and "blood tonic" of Rome, Sasan and other countries.

The troops marching in hunit have been found by the Han Army, including 80000 infantry. This 80000 man infantry is not all hunit troops. In fact, a considerable number of them come from various allies.

If Li Kuang knew that the countries headed by Rome and sassanne formed the anti Han axis, he would get the answer to his confusion about why xionnet fought back in less than a year, could form at least 80000 infantry, and even maintain military supplies and logistics.

In terms of time, the current time node is the fourth day after the slave riots in Wuyang county.

If we take the planning steps of the anti Han alliance, the action of forming a coalition army would be earlier than provoking the slaves in the Han Empire to riot, that is, before those slaves rioted, in fact, countries were secretly mobilizing troops.

The Persians took the lead and hit it off immediately after contacting the Romans. After reaching an agreement, the two countries did not make much action, but planned the production direction first.

Many Han Chinese are now going abroad, but if they go to a country, it is really difficult to establish an efficient intelligence system in a short time.

If the movements of sassanne and Rome are too big, the Han people will notice some clues under special attention. The problem is that the Persians and Romans are not stupid. Even if they want to make some big movements, they also choose a remote place, so they won't do it under the eyes of the Han people.

It will take time for the Han people to discover the changes between sassanne and Rome, even if they want to send the message back.

It will take at least two months by sea and at least a year by land to transmit information from sassanne to the Han Empire.

In Rome, no one knows how long it takes by land, because no one has ever traveled by land.

From the sea route, it takes a year and two or three months to send the news back to China from Rome. As for whether it is a year, two months or three months, it depends on the climate conditions on the route.

Sassanne and Rome reached an agreement probably in the 15th year of Yuanshuo. They spent a year and a half making preliminary preparations in their own country and did not contact other countries until the early ten days of the 17th year of Yuanshuo.

The attitude of the Han Empire was too overbearing, and there were only two kinds of behavior towards some countries: reasonable and completely unreasonable.

If sassanne or Rome came alone and stood up and said they wanted to resist the hegemony of the Han Empire, all the countries contacted would shake their heads.

They are not stupid either. No matter how they look at sassanne or Rome, a single one will be rubbed on the ground by the Han Empire. How crazy must they be to wade in the muddy water?

If sassanne and Rome unite, and then pull in some regional powers, probably more than two plus five, the nature of things will be somewhat different.

Since the Han Empire appeared in the vision of all countries, they know that the Han Empire is very strong. Under the condition of one-to-one, any country will be pressed on the ground for friction. It is the reality that regardless of how far away the distance is, anyone caught by the Han Empire can be beaten up.

The Persians have said that on the premise of smooth war, the coalition forces of various countries may be able to enter the western regions and carry out a seesaw war there by taking advantage of the complex terrain of Congling.

All countries... Including sassanne himself, in fact, everyone knows that things will not be so easy. In the early stage, they may be able to take some advantage by surprise, but they will have this assumption when they lose their mind and go crazy in the tug of war in the Han Empire.

A reliable guarantee for the Persians is that they will at least block the Han people east of MIDI on land, even if they lift the power of the whole country.

MIDI is the central province of Sassanian, which means that the Persians have made relevant psychological preparations. After fighting with the Han Empire, they may lose the eastern territory to the east of MIDI.

Most of the eastern territory of Persia is Gobi or desert. Only on the edge of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea can there be a suitable living environment. They dare to make such a guarantee because as long as human beings can't stand the desert or Gobi spanning hundreds of miles. At the same time, long and deep fortifications have been built in the two narrow corridors of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

If the first wave of troops officially launched a war with the Anxi capital of the Han Empire, Sasan would mobilize the whole country at the next moment. Training the young and middle-aged in China is a necessary procedure. The next step is to forcibly pull the young people of the Arab ethnic group with the largest population.

Sasha's own population should be 50 or 60 million, which is related to life and death. It's not the first time to pull up a million troops. There are at least four or five million Arabs in their territory. How can they make do with four or five million, regardless of pulling cannon fodder?

Shapur II has told Constantius that as long as the allies can keep up with him in terms of funds and military supplies, there is no pressure for sassanne to pull up an army of 2 million people. He even said that if other countries were dragged into the water, all countries could come up with a force of 500000 people.

It has entered the Persian army in hunit. The 80000 step cavalry found by the Han Army, of which 30000 belong to Sasan. This is also the reassurance given by Shapur II to grenbadez, indicating that Sasan is definitely playing for real this time, not trying to fool hunnit.

At the same time, Rome also has five legions that have entered hunit. Two of them are serious Roman legions, and the other three are auxiliary legions from vassal races. Their total strength has reached 60000, which is actually not small for Rome.

In addition, there are more than 100000 other countries and tribes. They belong to the enemy that has not been noticed by anxidu guard for the time being.

What Li Kuang and Zhao Chang need to consider now has no complicated aspects. Since grenbadus doesn't want to live and takes the initiative to start a war, the anxidu guard is of course gathering troops to fight up. We must teach grenbadus how to be a man.

What the anxidu guard needs to consider is whether they can only simply destroy the invading enemy this time or enter hunnit again.

"Hunit people are crazy. Ding Ling people must have actions, too?" Zhao Chang touched his chin and said happily, "they are difficult brothers and sisters. They have established a deep friendship in a short time. Glen badis has taken action and will not forget to get on the West High car."

Li Kuang had thought of this aspect for a long time. He was happy to have a war, but he didn't really understand why the other party went crazy.
