The fact that Diocletian became Liu Xuan's most loyal believer is actually quite unexpected.
At the beginning, Liu Xuan really didn¡¯t take the former ruler of the Roman Empire into consideration, and it could even be said that he regarded Ya as a passerby.
Originally, he wanted to show the strength of the big man in front of the Roman Emperor and let the Roman Empire understand the gap between the two sides. What he didn't expect was that this guy had the intention of never going back from the day he left the Roman Empire¡ª¡ª He is not too young, and the Roman Empire is a bit far away from the Han Dynasty. With the current means, even the fastest voyage will take more than a year.
So after beating the Huns that time, Liu Xuan threw Diocletian aside and didn't bother to pay attention to it. What he didn't expect was that Diocletian was really perseverant. Although Liu Xuan didn't entertain him, But he tried every means to contact and learn the culture of the Han Dynasty and all kinds of knowledge.
He is very smart. After all, he has been at the top, so he understands where to start in order to understand a culture.
At the same time, he also understood that if he made too high a request directly, the other party would not agree to it, so Diocletian chose to study people's livelihood.
??????????? Then there are medical treatments, etc., and then he slowly studies in depth. After so many years of study, he has mastered almost all the knowledge that a big man can circulate outside, and at the same time he has learned the most basic cultivation techniques from the army.
And when Diocletian got great benefits from this basic set of magic formulas - his body gradually regained its strength, and some of the old diseases that he had suffered in the early years were also slowly recovering. This discovery made Diocletian He was so shocked that he even thought that he had finally been recognized and favored by the gods.
Especially after learning that these skills were actually taught by the emperor, Diocletian no longer regarded Liu Xuan as the incarnation of a god, but directly regarded Liu Xuan as a god.
After that, Diocletian would give Liu Xuan a respectful gift every time he saw him. As for his identity as the ruler of the Roman Empire, he had long forgotten it.
It can be said. Diocletian is currently the most loyal person to Liu Xuan, even as loyal as his close confidants, civil and military officials, and his own women. This situation made Liu Xuan dumbfounded, but he felt that it was no big deal. Especially when attacking Europe, Diocletian can play a considerable role.
For example, now
If you send a Han official, you need to consider whether the Germans have any resistance? At the same time, because of the completely different cultures, it was also a huge problem for the Germans to understand and accept this knowledge. As a Roman, Diocletian had personal experience. He can better understand and learn this knowledge from a European perspective. He understands what things in it can cause misunderstandings for people like them, and can naturally teach the Germanic people better.
"Your Majesty wants me to teach the Germans?"
After Diocletian learned about his mission, he seemed a little surprised, because he didn't know when the big man extended his power to Europe?
He has also lived in Dahan for quite some time, and has always paid attention to the situation of Dahan. He is even familiar with many officials of Dahan - especially officials from the Ministry of Rites and doctors from Taixue, because he frequently studied Dahan knowledge. contact with these people.
From these people. He can understand all the current developments of the Han Dynasty, not that he has any thoughts, it is purely for such a country ruled by gods. Just infinite curiosity.
At least he already understood that sooner or later the world would be ruled by the Han Dynasty. He even felt that it was an extremely happy thing for him to become a subject of the Han Dynasty before the Han Dynasty took that step.
As for the Roman Empire? He had put that place aside long ago. If he hadn't known that he no longer had any power in the Roman Empire, he would have even wanted to directly merge the entire Roman Empire into the Han Dynasty.
Of course, he knew that his approach could not succeed, even if he was still the emperor of Rome, let alone a former ruler who had resigned.
But now, His Majesty the Emperor actually said that he would go to Europe and take over a barbarian army that had just been collected. He even needs to be armed with the weapons of a big man and that wonderful magic
When did the big man get in touch with those barbarians? Why have you never heard of it?
Isn¡¯t the Han army fighting against the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north? Although I heard that a decisive victory has been achieved,??Victory, but after a great war, the finishing work was even more cumbersome and trivial than when it started. The big man should still be concentrating on cleaning up the mess in the north, and he should not have time to go to Europe to establish something with those barbarians. Friendly relationship, right?
I turned around in my head several times and finally had to admit it. Diocletian was the ruler of a huge empire, and he came to power through mutiny. His own brain was definitely good enough. He almost thought of the truth in a blink of an eye - the big man also had an army of soldiers and horses, and it was A fairly elite force currently in Europe.
Based on his understanding of that group of barbarians, he knew that those guys were not good men and women, and they would never accept the rule of others for no reason.
Otherwise, those barbarians would not have become the Roman Empire's biggest hidden danger in the north over the years. If you want to make these barbarians work for you, there is only one way: beat them so hard that they can't even find their home. He was so convinced that he never dared to have any other thoughts again.
Only in this way can they become your subordinates for you to drive at will.
Therefore, the most likely reason why the Han was able to recapture this group of barbarians was that they had already defeated them. The barbarians may not be as powerful as the Han's soldiers, but after all, there were many tribes and many people scattered everywhere. As for an army, it is easy to defeat them with only a few people - after all, if you can't defeat them, you can still run away. Europe is not a small place, and running around is enough to give people a headache.
So, we finally came to the conclusion.
Turning around to look at the powerful emperor, he found that Liu Xuan opposite him was also looking at him.
In fact, Liu Xuan saw that Diocletian had already guessed the general truth, but it didn't matter To put it more harshly, Diocletian was not considered a Han at all, and it was impossible to enter the inner circle.
But precisely because of his identity, he was the most suitable to contact the Natural Disaster Legion, so Liu Xuan had no intention of hiding it from him from the beginning, and even gave him a chance to continue to take a step forward.
"You must have guessed it too!"
After a pause, Liu Xuan showed a shallow smile, but the trace of pride in the smile was very clear, anyone who is not blind can see it.
"In Europe, I also have a very powerful legion with about 50,000 people!"
Diocletian was shocked. Having lived in the Han Dynasty for so long, he knew the combat power of the Han army.
There are less than 300,000, but the fighting power of the Han soldiers is simply not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Diocletian also estimated when he was bored that even though the Roman Empire had an army of close to one million, if it wanted to fight the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would only need to use 100,000 imperial troops to bulldoze the Roman Empire.
If the Han Dynasty also used the best of those elites in the war, then the war could end within half a year - this still takes into account the vast territory of the Roman Empire and its divisions on the north and south sides of the Mediterranean, which made it inconvenient to mobilize troops. The judgment made is that it would take a long time for ordinary people to walk through such a vast territory, but who told the Han army to have so many magical equipment?
Whether it is a suspended vehicle or those powerful and exaggerated mounts, it can ensure that the Han army does not have to waste time on the road. All they have to do is to continue to slaughter the soldiers of the Roman Empire.
Even if the Han Dynasty is willing, he can let the elite cavalry troops carry out a front-line assault. They will not occupy but just continue to assault. In that case, the Roman Empire may perish within three months.
It can be said that Diocletian highly praised the combat effectiveness of the so-called elite regiments of the Han Empire. Judging from the tone revealed in Liu Xuan's words just now, the regiment in Europe also had such an existence, and its number was as high as five. Thousands of people.
You must know that whether it is the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Tiger Ben Army or the Yulin Cavalry, the number of soldiers in these elite regiments has always been 5,000, and has never been expanded.
Being shocked, Liu Xuan said something else at this time: "In addition, this time you go there, you will not only be responsible for reorganizing and teaching those Germanic people!"
Diocletian knew that this matter was important and immediately listened attentively.
Sure enough, Liu Xuan then continued: "When the legion is reorganized, I ask you to lead this legion and pacify the entire Europe!"
Diocletian was stunned. He really didn¡¯t expect it to be like this.What a request.
To pacify Europe? Let¡¯s not talk about those barbarian tribes. The current ruler of Europe is the Roman Empire. If you want to pacify Europe by yourself, doesn¡¯t that mean you have to lead the barbarians to destroy the Roman Empire?
this¡¡
Liu Xuan patted Diocletian on the shoulder: "Of course, I won't force you to go. In the end, you can decide for yourself whether to go or not. But how to choose, you'd better decide as soon as possible!"
Just when Liu Xuan thought that Diocletian would go back and think about it for a while before making a decision, Diocletian gritted his teeth and said directly: "Thanks to His Majesty for being so valued, I will naturally not refuse, and I will definitely live up to it." Your Majesty has entrusted you with entrusting the whole of Europe to your Majesty¡¯s hands!¡±
Hearing Diocletian¡¯s answer, Liu Xuan smiled happily.
