As for the remaining generals, they did not appear on this occasion and were still managing the legion. After Huangfu Song left, they followed the personnel arranged by the Yuan family to the camp in the west of the city. After eating and drinking, they headed to Xian City the next day. , Huangfusong's many years of experience allow him to leave a certain amount of room for maneuver at any time. When he entered the city, Xiahou Dun was very interested in the Pope, but seeing the Pope sometimes smiling sweetly when talking to Yuan Tan, he had already guessed the relationship between the two. Therefore, even if he wanted to know how this damn girl practiced, Xiahou Dun couldn't do such a rude thing as going beyond his master's house to communicate with the other master's side room. Yuan Tan noticed the looks in other people's eyes. In fact, he brought the Pope out for this purpose. Although the old Yuan family can now gather a dozen refined internal energy detachments, the only one who can really control the situation is the Pope. , this is a real world-breaking expert. However, even if Yuan Tan knew the thoughts of Xiahou Dun and others, he would not pay attention to their desire to communicate with the Pope. After all, the Pope was too cheerful. On the other hand, the Pope was really just a layer of Chinese skin. Inside she is still a girl who has not been educated by a noble family. If we send him to communicate, without Yuan Tan watching, who knows what kind of situation will happen, it is better to keep an eye on the situation, support the situation, and prove that the old Yuan family has not declined. Of course, it would be even more grand if it were a man. Unfortunately, the Pope doesn't mind wearing men's clothes. The problem is that the Pope's appearance is guaranteed. He suddenly wore a prince's robe and looked like a queen, which made Yuan Tan really Some are unbearable to look at. Naturally, the final result is that Yuan Tan openly exposes the Pope, and then takes good care of it to prevent the Pope from causing trouble. As for further restrictions, forget about it. At the banquet, Yuan Tan pulled out half of the warriors of the old Yuan family. For no other reason than force is the most attractive power of princes like them. Even Xiahou Dun saw six or seven refined warriors. The muscles and muscles in the body feel a little cautious. When Xun Chen and others sat down one by one, and accompanied by the middle-level generals of the old Yuan family who had always been very luxurious, Xiahou Dun suddenly felt why others called Yuan Benzhu a model in the world. Sure enough, Yu Wei was dead. Even if there was no one, Yuan Tan's hand still showed the power of the Central Plains side. Huangfu Song was also observing silently. Unlike Xiahou Dun who could only see superficial things, Huangfu Song saw people and the basics. If Xiahou Dun could only see these things present, Huangfu Song could already feel that Yuan The momentum accumulated by the family. "The hidden dragon in the abyss is no joke. Even though it is based on barbarians, the military system and civil administration are still advancing smoothly. The Yuan family really has a lot to do, and even Huangfu Song has to admire it. After the banquet, Yuan Tan directly took out the real Yuan family's territory to show his sincerity. Looking at the vast territory, even Huangfu Song fell silent. Compared to the major families who had already learned about it, they only had a rough understanding of it. Huangfusong, looking at the vast map and the fertile soil marked with almost all plains, was so shocked that he was speechless. "From east to west, we can't find more than five million square kilometers. It's as wide as the Han Dynasty. It's all plains. However, the weather is cold and we can only farm one season a year." Yuan Tan pointed at the map with a pole. He explained the position, and finally added after finishing the big picture, "The land is vast and the people are sparsely populated." Huangfusong nodded silently. In such a vast plain, including the people who migrated from the old Yuan family, there are barely five million people. , there is only one person per square kilometer, which is no longer sparse. ¡°All kinds of minerals are available, including copper ore, iron ore, gold ore, silver ore, and some gemstones.¡± Yuan Tan made no concealment in this regard. "If that's the case, we just need to hide to the east of the Ural Mountains and just sit and watch Rome. They won't be able to get through at all." After Huangfu Song gestured with the scale a few times, he slowly said, Rome is about 100 meters away from Sizhao City. Too far too far. ??Similarly, the Han Dynasty is too far away from Sizhao City. This location may really lead to the rise of a hegemony. For both parties, the Yuan family is too far away. This is the basis for building high walls and accumulating grain. "This was also our initial countermeasure, but due to some other reasons, we had to abandon this plan." Xun Chen stood up and began to explain, "On the one hand, it is the value of Eastern Europe itself, and on the other hand, Rome exists to rule Eastern Europe and suppress it. Regarding the capabilities of the Han Dynasty's fence in Central Asia, general, please look here." As for the main rivers, Huangfusong's expression changed instantly. The Don River leads to the Black Sea, and the Volga River leads to the Caspian Sea. "Is it about a hundred kilometers?" Huangfusong asked cautiously. "Yes, one hundred kilometers." The interests of Central Asia are basically over. Even if the relationship between the two sides is particularly good now, the eternal friendship between countries is all about interests. Even Huangfu Song is aware of this fact. "How difficult is it to build the canal?" Huangfu Song asked after taking a breath. "There is also a certain drop in the plain. The drop between the two rivers is about forty meters." In the past 1,500 years, most countries did not have the ability to build this canal. However, unfortunately, both the Han Dynasty and Rome in this era had the ability to build this canal. Huangfu Song nodded silently. In terms of difficulty, this canal was not at all difficult for the Han Dynasty, because the drop of 100 kilometers and 40 meters was nothing compared to the 37 kilometers and 33 meters of the Pre-Qin Lingqu. Even if the Han Dynasty needed it, they could build this canal very smoothly. They didn't even need trackers and had to build the canal as smooth as a spiritual canal. No one in the entire Han Dynasty thought about whether Rome had this technology, because when the Han Dynasty considered Rome, they directly judged others by themselves. It was almost what we could do, and the other party would almost certainly be able to do it. In fact, Rome can really do it. Although it is very collapsed, the mathematics level of Rome is higher than that of Han Dynasty. After Diophantus came out in a few decades, Roman mathematics began to advance at an explosive rate. As for the same period, Rome also built canals, with a length of 85 kilometers and a drop of more than 30 meters. It was also around BC and the classical era was enough to be called a cheating empire. Unfortunately, Rome was also selected. So if you really want to say it, it would be really difficult for Rome to build this canal for China Unicom. It was not as easy as the Han Dynasty. After all, the Han Dynasty really had templates and experience. Someone in their ancestors had built it and it was ten times more difficult than this. The canal is twice as long as the Lingqu, 37 kilometers long, with a height of 33 meters! By the way, the Ling Canal was built to be used by Qin Shihuang to transport troops, and it was really capable of transporting troops. Even if the troops could only be transported by small boats at a time, it could be placed in a tunnel with a total length of 100 kilometers and a height of 40 meters. At this level, the Han Dynasty could probably build a canal large enough to bring in fifth-generation ships. "So this has become a big problem. We can't let the Romans repair it." Xun Chen said matter-of-factly, "Even further, we can't let Rome discover this matter. Of course, when we become stronger in the future, If we can bring the shipyard to the Caspian Sea, and then we can take the initiative to build this canal, then the Mediterranean will become more than just a bathtub for the Romans." Huangfu Song nodded, understanding this, seeing such a thing. Of course, he could understand the strategic significance. This canal must be built in the future, but the initiative must be in the hands of the Han Dynasty, not Rome. "I roughly understand the meaning of your insistence on sticking to Eastern Europe." Huangfu Song nodded and said, if this canal fell into the hands of Rome, it would be comparable to the vigorous borrowing from the sky for another five hundred years. More importantly, the Han Dynasty as a whole will be passive as a result. "Yes, so our battlefield is forced to be arranged here." There are even fewer people who can explore the entire continent bit by bit like this. In fact, both Huangfu Song and Xun Chen knew that the possibility of the Romans discovering this fact was very small, but as long as there was such a possibility, they did not dare to bet on what Severus could do for the chance of the empire continuing to live for hundreds of years. They all know how much money they have to fight with. "I understand." Huangfusong doesn't like to go on an expedition, but some things are too much at stake, and he has to deal with them carefully. And this kind of calculation for the fate of the country, even if it is a risky expedition, Huangfusong will agree, After all, if the Romans were allowed to take advantage of this, Huangfu Song would probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in future generations. "Thank you for your understanding, General." Xun Chen bowed. This was the reason why they had been frank with Huangfu Song. This was really not a matter for their Yuan family now. They really screwed up and asked Rome to build the canal. Then I'm afraid they will all have to hang on the pillar of shame in the future. "It's the way it should be." Huangfu Song is still reliable in big things. After learning the real reason, his desire to fight became three points stronger. After all, compared to the boring Li You who protects the Yuan family, for Fighting for the empire is more motivational than fighting for China and its descendants for generations to come. "But the Romans are already in trouble. I don't know what happened this year. They walked to the border of Eastern Europe and then went back." Xun Chen said awkwardly but politely,??Fusong was stunned. :. :
