    When Chen Wanrong was dizzy, Li Longji's voice was quite exciting: "Master, please explain in more detail!"

    He wanted to first understand the situation of the Roman Empire in detail, and then weigh it to see if it could be conquered.  If you can, then there is no need to be polite. This time, we will send troops to the Western Regions to destroy Dashi and the two Roman Empires.

    Anas Ibn Malik didn't understand what Li Longji was thinking. He looked at it in surprise and began to explain in detail: "The two Roman empires each had different destinies. Their first disagreement started with the army. The Roman Empire's army  Although he was good at fighting, he was mainly infantry, while the army of the Eastern Roman Empire was mainly cavalry."

    Li Longji interrupted him and said: "When it comes to power, of course the cavalry is stronger, especially the Eastern Roman Empire!"

    Anas Ibn Malik had his own opinion: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about the use of soldiers, but each has its own advantages. The rise of the Roman Empire relied on its powerful infantry. The famous genius commander Caesar led  His army conquered Gaul and Great Britain, which was so majestic. Later, when he and Pompey were fighting a civil war, he was creative and left part of the army behind. When the two armies were in a stalemate, he returned  Send the remaining troops to join the battle and defeat Pompey in one fell swoop. In military terms, this is called leaving a reserve force, and Caesar is the first!"

    Before Caesar, the armies of the Roman Empire swarmed forward without leaving any reserves. It was he who changed the mode of war, and scholars praised him highly.

    "If there is no reserve team for a war, can it still be called a war?" Cheng Xiaotian shook his head.

    Anas Ibn Malik smiled slightly and said: "This general, the reserve team started with Caesar. Without him, the generals would not have kept reserve teams."

    Li Longji waved his hand and said: "Master, this can only be said that this Caesar is the first general in the West to keep a reserve force. We in China have a long history of using reserve forces, much earlier than him. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, he  There was a general under his command named Wei Qing. When he faced the Xiongnu Chanyu, he circled the Wugang chariot to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry. By dusk, the Xiongnu army was tired, and Wei Qing sent cavalry to capture the left and right wings of the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu were defeated.  , Shanyu fled the battlefield with hundreds of people, could this not be a reserve team?"

    Most scholars, including many Chinese scholars, believe that Caesar was the first military strategist to use reserves in human history. That was only in the West, and the history of keeping reserves in China was much earlier.

    "The Huns?" Anas Ibn Malik was very surprised and raised his voice a bit loudly: "The Western Roman Empire fell at the hands of the Huns!"

    "What? The Western Roman Empire fell at the hands of the Huns?" Li Longji's eyes widened and he didn't believe this was true.

    Anyone who is Chinese knows how harmful the Huns are.  After the tyrannical Xiongnu was defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they finally surrendered to the Han Dynasty and were Hanized.  In the eyes of the ancients, the Xiongnu were gone and dead. It was very difficult for Li Longji and others to believe that this was true.

    Although Li Longji has the valuable quality of remaining unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai, he was still surprised when he first heard this.

    "Your Majesty, you don't know yet?" Anas Ibn Malik was no less surprised than Li Longji. His eyes widened with surprise on his face.

    The fall of the Western Roman Empire at the hands of the Huns was not confirmed until modern times, after the exchanges between the East and the West.  In ancient times, how did the Chinese know?  Although Chen Wanrong is a modern person, his history is not very good and he does not know this history very well. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Master, can you tell me in detail?"

    This was exactly what Li Longji wanted to say, and he couldn't help but nod his head in approval.

    Anas Ibn Malik frowned and pondered for a moment: "This matter must start from two hundred and fifty years ago. At that time, the Huns gave birth to a great emperor named Attila. Attila  When he was a boy, he went to Rome as a hostage to study and visit. Later, he returned to the Huns and killed his brother in order to become emperor."

    Li Longji sighed and said: "Barbarians are greedy. In order to become a chanyu, Mao Dun did not hesitate to kill his own father. He will never change his thief nature!"

    Although Anas Ibn Malik was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about Chinese history, he didn¡¯t know about this period of history. He couldn¡¯t help but be stunned and asked: ¡°Who is this Maodun?¡±

    Li Longji explained to him: "Modun was the Chanyu of the Xiongnu. After he became the Chanyu, he unified all the grassland tribes and controlled 400,000 strings. He was very powerful. He once surrounded Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in Pingcheng, but Chen Ping used a trick  , Liu Bang just escaped unscathed. Mao Dun was very arrogant and once wrote a very insulting letter to Lu Pheasant, Liu Bang's wife, saying that he wanted to sleep with Lu Pheasant, which caused national humiliation for a while. "

    There are great differences between Eastern and Western cultures, Ai?Facing water and backed by mountains on one side, it is a transportation hub and a land throat connecting Asia Minor and the West.  When it was first built, Emperor Constantine named it "New Rome", and later generations named it Constantinople in memory of Emperor Constantine.  The collection inside is extremely rich. It can be said that almost all the relics of the Roman Empire are here.  "

    The Eastern Roman Empire was also called the Byzantine Empire, but that was what later historians called it.

    Li Longji said nothing and looked at Chen Wanrong.  Chen Wanrong understood what he meant and was asking Chen Wanrong whether artillery could capture Constantinople.  Chen Wanrong had absolute confidence in this point and nodded slightly.

    "Master has already told me about Greek fire." Li Longji said kindly: "Master has been explaining for a long time and is a little tired. Please go down and rest."

    Anas Ibn Malik was indeed a little tired, so he responded and was supported by Gao Lishi.

    "Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Chen Wanrong will stay, and you will also go down." Li Longji ordered.

    Cheng Xiaotian and the others understood that now they had a new understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, and Li Longji and the others were going to discuss military aircraft.  Although they could not participate in the discussion, they had already understood from Li Longji's eyes that Li Longji was determined to fight in the Western Regions, and both food and the Roman Empire were his goals.

    This is a good thing that may not happen in ten lifetimes. Cheng Xiaotian and the others were very excited and went happily.

    After everyone left, Li Longji walked around excitedly for a while, then sat down and asked, "Now that you have a general understanding of the Western Regions, what do you think?"

    Yao Chong understood what Li Longji meant. If he really wanted to fight in the Western Regions, he would have no objection.  However, he was the prime minister and had to be pragmatic. He thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, one big meal is enough for us to fight. There is no need to provoke Da Qin again."

    Song Jing also agreed with this: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Yao said is very true. According to our understanding, it should not be difficult to defeat it, but how to govern it will be a problem. After all, it is too far away, and supplies and reinforcements are big problems. To defeat it  , if it cannot be governed well, what good will it do to the Tang Dynasty?"

    This kind of worry is very reasonable. Li Longji did not speak immediately, saying: "The concerns of the Second Minister are not unreasonable, they are very reasonable. However, if the Tang Dynasty really wants to advance westward with all its strength, both Dashi and the Roman Empire will stand in the way.  I am not willing to fight against the Tang Dynasty's cavalry, knowing that they can be defeated but not fighting them! Chen Wanrong, what are you thinking?"

    Chen Wanrong frowned and was deep in thought. When he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, if you really want to fight, you may not be unable to govern."

    "Oh! What can you do?" Li Longji asked eagerly.

    It can certainly be defeated, but it cannot be managed.  If he could really govern, he would have to fight. Yao Chong and Song Jing also looked at Chen Wanrong with interest.

    "Your Majesty, you can turn this place into a colony of the Tang Dynasty!" Chen Wanrong said confidently: "As for the reasons, Rong Chen will tell you in detail!"
