Chapter 644 The Situation in the West

"No, it's a big deal to go back to Beijing, how can I delay it because of my minor illness?" Guan Yu struggled to get up, but his body was weak and weak because of his illness, and he couldn't get up after struggling for a long time, and he was so sick that it was no wonder that his own soldiers didn't let Guan Yu get up.

Liu Chan pressed Guan Yu back on the couch again: "Okay, second uncle, the temperature plummeted last night, and many soldiers suffered from the wind cold, not only you, I also plan to rest here for two days." ”

"If that's the case, I'm resting." Hearing this, Guan Yu finally stopped asking for it, thinking that he was very uncomfortable now.

"The second uncle is lying down, I will call the military doctor to come over."

As Liu Chan spoke, he walked out of the tent, and the two pro-soldiers also walked out.

Not far from the camp, Liu Chan asked Guan Yu's personal soldiers, "What's the matter?" ”

Guan Yugui is a general, and he is old, so he has his entourage to take care of him all night, although the weather was cold last night, but someone took care of him, so he would not suffer from the cold.

The soldier cautiously replied: "Yesterday was the old lady's sacrifice day, and the general drank all night and didn't let us serve, so ...... That's why ......"

After listening to the soldier's words, Liu Chan remembered that today was his second aunt's sacrifice day, and on this day last year, Hu died of illness.

Hangover and wind chill, elderly people may have a stroke directly, Guan Yu can only be weak and weak, which is good.

"That's it!" Liu Chan waved his hand and told the soldiers: "Go and ask the military doctor to show the second uncle, take care of it, if you go on a business trip, ...... it."

The soldiers hurriedly made a guarantee, and Liu Chan left.

After being stationed here for three days, Guan Yu's condition was slightly better, and Liu Chan re-embarked on the road back to Beijing, but Liu Chan did not let Guan Yu ride a horse, but let him sit in the carriage and accompany him.

It was not until late March that Liu Chan led the army back to Chang'an.

After returning to Chang'an, he rested for three days, and then worshiped the temple and the imperial tomb.

After doing these things, Liu Chan convened a court meeting to deal with the backlog of government affairs.

However, in the past, Liu Chan went on the expedition, Zhuge Liang was with him, this time Zhuge Liang stayed in Chang'an, and everything was handled in an orderly manner, without Liu Chan asking, Liu Chan only needed to understand.

During this time, there was no major incident in China, but there was a lot of things abroad.

A few years earlier, the Sassanid Empire, founded by Artazelsis in the west, had risen to the top, destroyed and replaced the Sabbatical Empire, and attacked the Kushan Empire to the east.

The king of the Kushan Empire, Bo Tuo, was old and mediocre, and his national strength had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and several vassal states also had vague signs of breaking away from Guishan's control, but due to Bo Diao's marriage with the Han Dynasty and attracting strong reinforcements, this sign was suppressed again.

But who is Artazelcis? He is known as the king of kings, the lion of Persia, the founder of the second Persian Empire, in his time, known as the four empires of Rome, rest, Kushan, and Han all declined, only the Sassanid Dynasty led by him rose strongly, and the powerful Rome was not his opponent, and the Kushan Empire was destroyed by it, and it could only be a corner of peace.

This kind of demeanor, looking at the heroes of the world, no one can compare with it, that is, Cao Cao, the number one hero of the Three Kingdoms, is not as great as his achievements, and he has the taste that everyone is drunk and sober.

Mo said that Guishan was just marrying the Great Han, that is, the Great Han directly sent troops to help Guishan, and Artazelsis was not intimidated at all.

After perishing and resting, Artazelsis pointed his troops directly at Guishan, and defeated the main force of Guishan at the border of Guishan last year, beating Guishan to the point of great injury, and Bo Tuo was even more ill, but he was afraid that Guishan was now worried about destroying the country.

Therefore, Yan, the envoy of Guishan who stayed in Chang'an, repeatedly asked Zhuge Liang to send troops to help Guishan.

In the study, after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh.

In this era, Artazelsis was invincible in the West, while Liu Chan was invincible in the East, and with such an evenly matched opponent, Liu Chan naturally wanted to meet with him.

It's a pity that Liu Chan has this heart, but he doesn't have the strength.

The place where Kushan rested was Central Asia and West Asia in later generations, where to fight, just like the Han side fought in the Central Plains, there was no insurmountable terrain.

But if the Han wants to fight with the West, he has to cross the Tianshan Mountains, where there is snow all the year round, which can be described as a moat for today's era, and if you want to go there, you can only take a detour, which takes a lot of effort.

What's more, there is still a Western Regions between Liangzhou and the West, and the road is thousands of miles, although Jiang Wei has governed the Western Regions for several years, but it is only to make the countries of the Western Regions submit, and it is extremely difficult to rely on the manpower and material resources of the Western Regions to fight with the Western Regions. If materials are mobilized from the territory of the Han Dynasty, it will be necessary to pour the strength of the country.

In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against Dawan because of the sweat and blood of the horse, with Li Guangli as the general of the second division, leading the 6,000 cavalry of the subject country and tens of thousands of young men with bad conduct in the county, with these forces to attack Dawan, and expected to capture the good horses in the second division city of Dawan, so he called him "the general of the second division".

However, the countries of the Western Regions did not help the Han army, and the army was defeated by Dawan with difficulty, and when it came back, the army was less than one-tenth left, and it took two years to go back and forth.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't swallow this breath, and sent troops to the expedition for the second time, using tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, as well as hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses as backups, and pouring countless supplies to defeat Dawan.

At that time, the Western Han Dynasty was in its heyday, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried his best to defeat Dawan with great difficulty, and now the national strength of the Han Dynasty is not as strong as that of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is obviously impossible to fight against the Sassanid Dynasty, which is not known how many times stronger than Dawan.

Of course, the same is true, if Sassanid crosses the Tianshan Mountains and marches into the Western Regions, it will also bring about its own destruction, and now the Han can't help Sasan, and Sassanid can't threaten the Han.

It's just that poor Guishuang Wang Bo married his daughter to Liu Chan in vain.

Liu Chan said to Zhuge Liang: "The affairs in the west are beyond the reach of the whip at present, and I ordered Jiang Wei to govern the Western Regions well, recruit more troops from various countries, and train them strictly. ”

"Hmm!" Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Now with the strength of the Western Regions, at most 20,000 or 30,000 troops will be sent to Guishan, and this amount of troops is too small to fight with the Sassanids who have hundreds of thousands of troops. If troops and horses are mobilized from within the country, it is unwise to use the strength of the whole country to fight in a foreign country from a long distance, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable. ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Yan doesn't have to worry about him there, if he is asking my Han to send troops, let him go back." ”

"No!"

Liu Chan opened the map on the table as he spoke, and said, "Now I have taken Yanmen Pass, but Wei has obtained the formula for cement, and is currently firing cement with great fanfare.

It would be very difficult to capture Wei if all the passes were replaced with concrete walls, so I plan to continue to send troops to attack Nanyang today. ”
