    When Chen Xi pointed at the map and began to tell Liu Bei what the world of senior civil servants was, those who were present for the first time were extremely shocked.

    Zhuge Liang, who is known for his stability and wisdom, could not keep his calm expression at this moment. The vastness of the world completely exceeded their expectations.

    "This is the world, the complete world, the world that I have always told you that we need to unify." Chen Xi said calmly, "Great Qin has arrived, we have not unified yet, we need a line of defense to stop the coming cross-border Great Qin."

    "The Qin Dynasty has worked thousands of miles, and I am afraid that even if it comes, it will not have the fighting power." Zhuge Liang had calmed down at this time, staring at the map, silently remembering it in his heart.

    "That's not the case. We can know about Da Qin because some of us traveled thousands of miles and hunted with Da Qin in the Parthian Empire." After all, Li You was very optimistic about Zhuge Liang, so after Zhuge Liang asked, he gave an explanation directly.

    "Wenru, please repeat those things." Chen Xi said to Li You.

    Li You did not refuse, and narrated what happened in the Parthian Empire, combined with the intelligence he had collected.

    "In other words, Anxi has fallen into decline, while Great Qin is at its peak." Xun Yue frowned, "Even so, Great Qin has no value in fighting our Han Dynasty. After all, the distance is too far. Traveling thousands of miles to conquer a country,  It is not the work of a wise king.¡±

    "I'm afraid Da Qin is similar to what we think. There are no two suns in the sky, no two masters on the earth, and the distance of thousands of miles is not too far." Fazheng said slowly, "If the official roads are as paved by Gongyou, then  It only takes forty days for the cavalry to reach a distance of thousands of miles."

    Horses in this era are different from those in an era without the essence of heaven and earth. Even if the wild horse does not acquire inner energy, its physique far exceeds that of most BMWs in history. If it were placed in an era without inner energy, it would definitely be Japanese.  A precious horse that travels hundreds of miles.

    "The distance of thousands of miles greatly limits the deployment of troops by both sides."  The change of climate is enough to cause any famous general to lose his troops."

    "Tch, that's nonsense. It would be damned if the climate problem could bring down Old Man Hua." Cookie said with a look of dissatisfaction. Although he was afraid of Hua Tuo, he still highly recognized Hua Tuo's medical skills, whether it was Zhang Zhongjing or  Hua Tuo was able to solve this kind of acclimatization.

    "Okay, we are an empire, and the other side is also an empire. We have the other side, and we ignore climate change. What about the deployment of troops? Even if we ignore food and grass and collect food on the spot, how many troops can we deploy? Is it one hundred thousand? The question is one hundred thousand  Soldiers and horses entered a unified empire" Xun Yue glanced at everyone present. There was no need to say anything else, but the meaning was self-evident.

    "What Xun Zhizhong said is indeed reasonable." Liu Ye smiled and took over the words, "One hundred thousand soldiers and horses are indeed not a problem for a unified empire, but we just let the other side take action, and we do nothing?"

    "That's not the case." Xun Yue shook his head, pinched his beard and said slowly, "I just feel that it is too nervous to work so hard for a distant and uncertain enemy. We had  We occupied the Western Region, but we had to give it up in the end because it was too far away from us. "

    After that, before Liu Ye could speak, Xun Yue intercepted the other party's words first, "It is true that our marching speed has accelerated a lot compared to two hundred years ago, but is it really worth investing so much there? With one hundred thousand cavalry to consolidate, where can we  How much is produced?¡±

    Xun Yue's words directly stopped many people. Only Chen Xi looked at Xun Yue happily. He had never realized that Xun Yue was so powerful and looked at the problem from such a strange angle.

    "An empire can grow there." Chen Xi said with a smile.

    "But that empire is thousands of miles away from us." Xun Yue shook his head.

    "We can spend ten to twenty years building an official road, once and for all." Chen Xi said with a smile. That road must be built. If it is not repaired, the Western Regions will definitely fall in the opposite direction.  all over.

    "Is it worth it?" Xun Yue frowned slightly, "What's the point of investing so much?"

    "As long as the road is built, villages will naturally appear on both sides of the road, forming market towns, and finally cities will appear." Chen Xi laughed, "And that road must be built. Even without Da Qin, I would not allow Wusun, Cheshi and other small countries to  Repeatedly."

    "As for the distance issue, the range that a country can rule is the distance that the army can reach in one hundred days. Of course, if you are really strong and make the surrounding countries despair, there is actually not much difference between one hundred days and two hundred days"  Chen Xi continuessaid.

    If the army cannot enter the country for more than a hundred days, it will basically reach the end of the empire. If you continue to expand the scope of your rule at that time, the result will be that the opponent will rebel after withdrawing the troops.

    Of course, there have been some dynasties in history that clearly broke through the extreme walls of the empire. To be honest, those dynasties mainly caused the conquered to give up their struggle.

    It doesn¡¯t matter whether it takes one hundred days or two hundred days for the army to enter after the conquered rebels, because for a dynasty that has broken through the extreme wall of the empire, it will enter garbage time after entering. To put it simply, for this kind of empire, next to  All countries are garbage.

    Crush the enemy every minute, and crush the enemy every time they rebel. The more times they are crushed, there will be no more rebels, so the empire has broken through the extreme wall of the empire. But for a feudal dynasty, to achieve this level,  That was no ordinary hardship.

    Xun Yue was silent for a while. He understood what Chen Xi said very thoroughly. The scope of the country's rule was almost as Chen Xi said, and the officialdom that Sun Qian had been constantly building had become an eternal legacy from this perspective.  Great cause, Sun Qian is using this method to gradually expand the empire's ultimate rule.

    "If we don't build roads, our rule will only reach the level of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty at its maximum. But if we build roads, we will become neighboring countries!" Chen Xi said calmly.

    "Why should we allow the other side to occupy the place that we will occupy in the future? If the other side is stronger, we will be weaker." Chen Xi looked at Xun Yue and asked, "Unification has never been my goal, nor has it been Xuande's.  public goals.¡±

    Xun Yue looked at the world with the vast land, and finally fell silent. It was obvious that Chen Xi wanted to create a great cause for eternity, and he did have the ability!

    "If one day the generals of the Han Dynasty could build their way through the Western Regions and reach the far west, as long as they had enough horses, they would be able to reach it within a hundred days and devote hundreds of thousands of troops to another empire!
