    After watching Li Xin leave, Brahe turned to look at the generals behind him and asked, "What do you think?"

    "Although he is just an ordinary envoy, his magnanimity far exceeds that of every previous envoy. At least he never showed the slightest fear from beginning to end. Even when he was threatened by Yan Lipu, he did not show any fear." Heli Laheyuan  Looking at the back of Li Xin who was being guarded by the guards, he said with slight admiration.

    "Yan Lipu, I know you have a lot of confusion and anger, but now is not the time for you to get angry. We will have a battle with the Han Dynasty next. If you have anything to ask, use your sword to ask the enemy in front of you." Bu Bu.  Seeing Yan Lipu's unhappy expression, Lahe said with a smile.

    "I will ask them with my sword. If they are worthy of my killing, then come." Yan Lipu said arrogantly. As one of the few strong men in the Kushan Empire whose inner energy is extremely separated from the body, he has no confidence in his own martial arts.  Have absolute confidence.

    "Get ready for war. Since the Han Empire is confident enough to let us choose the time and place, then we will prepare a big gift for them." Brahe said with a faint smile on his face.

    "Isn't this bad?" Sulapli frowned and said, "Even if the other party leaves us to choose the time and place, it would be too embarrassing if we go too far."

    "There is nothing shameful in war. Since they have such a high profile, why don't we take advantage of it? Remember that His Majesty Yan Gaozhen was defeated by Congling, why don't we take advantage of the opportunity?" Brahe shook his head and said.

    "They gave us the opportunity to choose the time and place. Since it is within the rules, why not take advantage of it? Face is nothing, let's win." Helilach said with a chuckle, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

    "Just by acting like this, doesn't it mean that we in Kushan are not as good as the Han Dynasty?" Sulapli frowned and said, "In any case, we have been almost undefeated for more than a hundred years. We have grown from nothing to the south of Congling Mountains.  The next attack is a powerful dynasty that is almost undefeated.¡±

    "It's just that we haven't encountered a truly powerful country like we did before. Think about which countries around us are considered powerful?" Lebrali shrugged and said, and the military generals next to him suddenly looked unhappy.

    "Although no one likes to hear this, I still want to say that before we really fight against the Han Empire, and before we really defeat the Han Empire, we must remain in awe of them." Brahe said solemnly.

    "At least under this sky, as the Yuezhi royal family that once connected things, throughout history and to this day, we have only witnessed the collapse of the empire once." Lebrali looked at everyone and said with a chuckle.

    "This one time alone is enough for us to remember that the far west Rome spent more than a hundred years, and to this day it is still in a stalemate with the Parthian Empire. It is difficult to say that it was destroyed. The Parthian Empire is so strong that I, Kushan, have fought against each other several times.  "Except for Emperor Yan Gaozhen, has there been any other victory? But did Parthia completely destroy us during its peak period?" Helilach explained calmly.

    "However, hundreds of years ago, the Xiongnu Empire was so powerful that it not only almost wiped out our ancestors, but even the Youxian King, who was responsible for the westward expansion, fought all the way and pushed their troops to Congling. Such a powerful empire, in the end  They were almost wiped out by the Han Empire." Helilahson looked at all the generals with cold eyes, making everyone shiver.

    "Okay, don't scare them, Helilach. It's enough for you to know these things. I know that your family manages the history books, but there is no need to show these things off." Brahe saw that all the generals were suppressed.  Stop and stop drinking Helilach immediately. If this continues, there will definitely be a problem with morale.

    "Heh." Helilach stopped threatening indifferently. As a family that has always recorded the history of his country, Helilach knew too many horrors buried in history, so he was most in awe of the Han Empire.

    In other words, when Kushan was still in Central Asia, as a node for exchanges between the East and the West, it had a much deeper understanding of the surrounding countries than Rome and the Han Dynasty. For this reason, the Helilach family had a deeper understanding of the surrounding countries.  There are detailed records.

    Even though they were half-deathed by the Xiongnu and the classics were lost, as the compilers of history books, they had a far deeper understanding of the surrounding countries than normal nobles.

    This is just like if Sima Qian had a son and passed it down, the Sima family's understanding of surrounding countries would definitely be much better than Li You's knowledgeable and memorized half-empty bucket of water. This can be regarded as some kind of family origin.

    "Hililach, what's the point of being so scary?" Amir, the military general who had been silent until now, looked at Helilach unhappily. He was basically out of tune with this group of nobles. He couldn't mix in as a Dalit.  Well, you really can only rely on yourself.

    "Although I am also very??I like what Helilach said, but if I remember correctly, he is telling the truth. The Han Empire is the only super empire that has successfully destroyed another empire. This record has never been broken by anyone.  " Shah Rukh, the military commander on the side, said slowly, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but become even more ugly.

    In fact, the possibility of an empire falling to another country is actually very small. Its vast territory alone is enough to choke to death any country that wants to annex the empire. Supply lines are a reality that cannot be avoided even in the era of hot weapons.  , let alone ancient times.

    So normally speaking, if one big empire wants to destroy another empire, the efforts of several generations are indispensable. However, for a system like the imperial system that is both deceptive and defiant, it is really unreliable what will happen in several generations.

    "After all, you can't guarantee that you will be a wise king for generations, nor can you guarantee that another empire will be a weak king for generations. To be honest, it is basically an illusion that one generation can severely damage another empire.

    In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty severely wounded the Xiongnu, allowing Emperor Zhao to free up his hands to develop the country and continue to divide and destroy the Xiongnu. The most important reason was that Emperor Wu lived too long. He reigned for fifty-five years. In ancient times, this was three generations.  People.

    In this way, Emperor Wu's iron-blooded method cannot be said to have destroyed the Xiongnu Empire. It can only be said to have severely damaged the Xiongnu Empire. If it weren't for Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan who were very powerful later, the Xiongnu Empire had successively lost their brains.  , it is not that easy to destroy the Xiongnu.

    For the same reason, you will know by referring to Rome and Parthia. Parthia is not as strong as the Huns. Rome and the Han Dynasty are definitely a match. However, the war between Rome and Parthia lasted for at least two hundred years. If we include the rise of the Sassanid Persian Empire to replace the Parthia.  Continuing to fight Rome, the war between the two empires lasted for six hundred years

    The reason why the two empires were in such a state of torment was actually because the emperors on both sides did not reign for long. The emperors from the Roman Republic were also strong and weak, and the emperors from the Parthian and later Sasanian-Persian empires were also weak.  Sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

    Just look at Kushan. With the same basic structure, the country ruled by Vesudeva I who was dawdling before seemed to be about to go down. After the madness, the entire empire seemed to have been reborn from the ashes.  The mood is different.

    This is the so-called biggest problem of the imperial system. If the emperor is really powerful, then the power that the entire country will burst out will be very terrifying. If the emperor is too weak, then the entire country will not be able to survive. In short, the king of the subjugated country is basically reasonable.  They are all too weak.

    Therefore, if two large empires with vast territories and huge population base come into action, generally speaking, as long as one of the empires is not too unlucky and produces several generations of garbage in a row, it can only be said that the two sides will win or lose each other. It is difficult to say.  Who loses and who wins.

    Just like An Xi now, to be honest, Vorogis V¡¯s opponent will still be the Five Wise Emperors. If this generation of emperors continues, the war between the two sides will continue for hundreds of years.

    It can be said that in the great empire war of the imperial system, as long as there are no strange things like some powerful emperors killing more than three generations of opponents in a row, or a country having several generations of wise kings in a row, it is basically difficult for anyone to destroy the opponent by fighting.

    The foundation of the Xiongnu Empire¡¯s strength lies in the fact that three generations of Chanyu, Maodun, Laoshang, and military ministers were all worthy of Mingjun. Counting the earlier Touman, three generations of Mingjun directly laid the foundation of an empire.

    However, the Han Empire, the rival of the Xiongnu Empire, produced seven generations of above-average monarchs, and then encountered the powerful Emperor Wu in the early days of the Yizhixie era. Well, Emperor Wu directly killed the fifth or sixth generation Chanyu.

    When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed five or six generations of Chanyus, the Han Dynasty was succeeded by super-high-level emperors such as Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, while the Xiongnu Empire produced four generations of useless people.  , how thick does the foundation need to be?

    Therefore, if we really want to say that the empire perished, the reason for its demise was much greater at our own hands than at the hands of the enemy. However, for the historians who compiled history books in the Kushan and Han dynasties, there were probably more reasons for the war.  Some, but the possibility of truth being destroyed by war is really very small.

    "Okay, everyone just needs to be aware of this matter. Don't put too much psychological pressure on fighting the Han Empire. After all, we are not the same people we were a hundred years ago. It would be good to have a battle so that we can get to know each other." Brahe comforted everyone.  Said, it is indeed a record of destroying an empire

    "But I still don't recommend manipulating the time and place." Sulapli said hesitantly. He also knew the power of the Han Empire. "In my opinion, a strong empire should at least have confidence, and we are facing  It happened to other countries, but when we faced the Han Empire, it was obvious that there was something wrong with our mentality. "

    "It's true that there are problems, but I think the general's proposal is good. We should indeed be confident, but we know that??It is not easy to win. We still maintain confidence instead of being cautious. This is probably not good.  ¡± Lebrali explained.

    "But with this method, what can we gain if we win?" Sulapli obviously still couldn't let go.

    "Gain confidence." Brahe said after a moment of silence.

    "How is it possible to gain confidence? It can only make the soldiers feel ashamed!" Sulapli said dissatisfied.

    "What do they know?" Helilach mocked, "What the soldiers need is victory, and what we need is confidence. Even in this way, if we can defeat the Han Empire, do you think it will be better for our group of people?"  Has there been a change in mentality?¡±

    "I reserve my opinion." Sulapli was silent for a while and nodded in recognition of Helilach's answer, but stubbornly retained his opinion.

    "If you have any other ideas, tell me and let me understand your mentality." Brahe saw Helilach convincing Sulapli, so he turned to ask other civil servants and military generals.

    "No more." Yan Lipu shook his head and said. The same is true for other generals. Compared with civilian officials, these generals do not have so many detailed thoughts. What's more, after hearing about the achievements of the Han Empire, as generals who charged into battle, they  More awake.

    ¡°After all, it¡¯s not just the soldiers who need to win, the generals also need to win. Go to hell with failure. As for things like tampering with time and place, the generals don¡¯t care at all. It¡¯s enough to win. Don¡¯t worry about anything else.

    "In this case, you go and select soldiers and prepare for the war. It is impossible for us and the Han Dynasty to engage in a large-scale war. This is completely unnecessary, but too few is not good. Each of you can prepare one soldier and horse.  That¡¯s it.¡± Brahe thought for a moment and said.

    Brahe really didn¡¯t want to lose too many troops, but he also wanted to take a peek at the current military strength of the Han Empire, so after thinking about it, he prepared to turn this battle into a microcosm of the great war, controlling the scale of both sides, but all the soldiers would be elite.

    "Helilach, Sulapli, Lebrali, you three stay. Let's talk about the time and place, and how to fight this battle. Although we are prepared to lose, we also have to win if we win.  Yes, we also need to be prepared," Brahe said to the three civilian officials after taking the general away.

    Several people compared the map, calculated the speed of the Han Dynasty's march, and finally chose a place that was quite unfavorable to the Han Dynasty. As for the time agreed in the letter of war, it was one month later, but after it was sent, there were only twenty days left.  And if the army is marching, it will be impossible to travel such a distance in the past twenty days without force once or twice.

    Although there were only one or two forced marches during the twenty-day march, it seemed to have no impact, but if it really reaches that level, the slightest difference may tilt the balance in a certain direction.

    "I always feel that if we still lose after doing this, I'm afraid it will be really embarrassing and humiliating." Sulapli sighed and said.

    "So we have to win. Choosing despicable means means that we have been for victory from the beginning, not for the so-called upright defeat to others." Helilach shrugged and said, "We have no retreat, of course.  Our general is even more so."

    "Even if the opponent is the Han Empire, we still have to win. If we lose under such shameless conditions, I am afraid those generals will feel sad and angry, so they will do everything possible to win, and we need this kind of victory  Will." Lebrali said with a smile.  (To be continued.)
