Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257 The Great Shift in Strategy

"Stubborn, I originally wanted to catch him alive and go back, but I didn't expect that he was seeking death himself!" Li Que snorted coldly.

"This is troublesome, there is no one to send the message!" Guo Bang poked the guardian's body with a spear, and found that the other party was dead, and said with some regret.

"For the sake of him being a man, gather up their corpses and find a place to bury them. Death standing up is much better than that little emperor!" Guo Si sighed.

"Drive them to the center of the city first and wait for Bo Yuan to come!" Li Que was helpless and could only sigh, and then waved his sword to drive away a group of Parthian nobles, just like driving away a herd of cattle and sheep.

However, in Li Que's eyes, this group of Parthian nobles who are like quails are not much different from cattle and sheep.

Although Anxi was an empire, Li Que's feelings seemed to be no different from those of the Western Regions that had been pacified before. The difficulty of killing Voggis V was no more difficult than killing the royal family of the Western Regions.

Mu Yi, who was far away in Chang'an, looked in the direction of the Western Regions strangely. The will of the empire expanded, but he couldn't sense the source of this power.

Logically speaking, the growth of the will of the empire is bound to be accompanied by the expansion of the population territory under its rule. He can trace the source of the will of the empire and can directly find the source.

But this time, he could only feel that this power came from the direction of the Western Regions, but he couldn't feel anything else.

However, Mu Yi pondered for a while, changed his thinking, and reversed the will of the empire to descend on the previously born army soul.

He naturally knew about the birth of the Army Soul. The Civil Engineering Corps paved about 80.00% of the roads in the country.

"Here?" Mu Yi looked around suspiciously after arriving.

"I've seen the emperor!" Ji Jian looked at Mu Yi who suddenly appeared, and saluted in a panic.

"Who are you?" Looking at the box after box of gold and silver treasures around him, Mu Yi was a little stunned. Why is the Western Region so rich?
"Your Majesty, our army has just conquered the Parthian Empire and is currently cleaning the battlefield!" Ji Jian's words made Mu Yi's eyes twitch.

What did he hear?The capital of Parthia?

If I remember correctly, the attack on the Western Regions should be after the beginning of spring. Why have they already gone to the capital of Anxi, which is a thousand miles away.

"Call Xu Rong over here!" After thinking for a while, Mu Yi decided to ask a reliable person.

Not long after, Xu Rong hurried over with Zhang Xiu, and Li Que and others also followed.

"Hiss, is this the new emperor?" Guo Si asked in a low voice. Just seeing Mu Yi for the first time, they knew that this was definitely a powerful character.

Last time they were far away on both sides of the Yellow River, so they didn't pay attention to it, but this time they were so close, they couldn't help but swallowed when they felt the majesty.

"Isn't it much better than the little emperor and the resting emperor?" Li Que was also a little unbelievable. They had no respect for imperial power.

Of the four major empires in Europe, Asia and Africa, the emperors of two empires have already died in their hands. Do you expect such madmen to have any respect for imperial power.

But they also knew that if Li Ru entrusted him to Mu Yi, Mu Yi could be regarded as their new boss, but if Mu Yi wanted to be their boss, he had to fulfill the contract with Li Ru first.

When Dong Bai became the empress of the harem, their Xiliang army would formally join Mu Yi's command. This was their last loyalty to Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Xiu with a worried face. Zhang Xiu had been tricked by Li Que, the three titular uncles, and might be directly dismissed by Mu Yi.

"I already know what happened!" After listening to Xu Rong and Zhang Xiu's report, Mu Yi looked at Li Que and the others speechlessly. Such a situation is really rare.

But what he didn't expect was that Ji Jian and Xu Rong would also mess around with these four reckless men.

"Zhang Xiu, your merits and demerits will be judged by Huang Tianji. The specific results will be announced after you return to Liangzhou to report on your work!"

"Thank you, Emperor!" Zhang Xiu understood that Mu Yi did not intend to hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty.

In fact, Mu Yi does not intend to pursue his dereliction of duty. Currently, within the Xinghan Empire, Huang Tianji has quantified the merits and demerits, and the merits and demerits are offset. In the end, what is left is reward for merit and punishment for demerit.

"I will let the First Yellow Sky Legion come to meet you. After you clean up the battlefield, hurry up and leave. I can sense that seven forces that have inherited the fragments of the Anxi Empire's will are gathering towards you!" Mu Yi simply said. He explained it, then turned and left.

Li Que and the others were left to look at each other in blank dismay, but Zhang Ji was quick-witted and instantly understood the meaning of Mu Yi's words.

"We're going to be in trouble!" Zhang Ji's face was heavy.

When they captured Chang'an, it didn't mean that the whole Central Plains was defeated by them.

It's as if Dong Zhuo dominated Luoyang and attracted the eighteen princes. If it was only the strength of the eighteen princes, it would be acceptable to them.

But if it is the strength of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Cao Cao who dominate a state in the later period, it will be a bit fatal for them.

"It should be done by the imperial guard who escaped before. They are light cavalry, and the speed of linking up with the Anxi forces is faster than we thought!" Li Que analyzed seriously.

"Bo Yuan, go ask the group of nobles, they should know more information!" Zhang Ji thought quickly, and immediately thought of the hostages they had captured.

After they finished asking, their hearts inevitably became heavier.

It turns out that apart from the royal family of Anxi, there are seven noble forces in Anxi. Even if they are not as powerful as Yuan Shao, each of them can be regarded as the lord of a state, and together they are a huge force.

Each of them has a troop that the entire Anxi is familiar with, and each one is as famous as the previous Imperial Guards, which means that among the seven noble forces, a large number of Imperial Guards and dual talents can be gathered.

"Keep the seven Imperial Guards? Including the one that escaped before, there are a total of eight. This is really an amazing number!" Fan Chou felt a little heavy when he heard the information collected by Zhang Xiu.

"That's not too much. When Emperor Ling disbanded the Northern Army's Fifth School, there were about [-] to [-] Imperial Guards, and the Anxi Empire had a maximum of [-] to [-]. It seems that Anxi has really gone to a stranger!" Xu Rong shook his head and said.

He knows a little more about the past, and in his eyes, Anxi is similar to the Han Dynasty that was on the verge of collapse.

And that was in the past, in today's Han Dynasty, the army soul alone can collect [-] to [-] yuan. If Anxi's high-end combat power is only this little guard, it is better to wash the neck early and wait for the Han Dynasty's butcher knife.

But that's the truth, Anxi has long since declined in the perennial war with Rome.

When Parthia was at its most glorious, it was mainly because they were at the center of the Silk Road, and the caravans coming and going directly made them a lot of money.

The silk bought from Wusun alone can be sold to Rome hundreds of times.

Later, the Silk Road was broken, coupled with their deadly confrontation with Rome, the national power was declining day by day, and many things became rigid beyond description.

Then the Parthian Empire became what it is today.

So much so that Ganassis didn't even carry an eagle flag, and he could easily hit under the city wall of Tesiphon. The Parthian nobles on the long route did not receive the news, but they deliberately stood still.

Under normal circumstances, even if Ganassis brought all the elites from the east, he would never even think about crossing the Mesopotamia.

The seven nobles watched the fire from the other side, in order to attack the Anxi royal family, and then ascend to the throne by themselves.

However, they did not expect that Emperor Anxi died just like that.

This is like, Dong Zhuo originally wanted to play tricks on the emperor to order the princes, but the northern Huns went south and directly chopped off the emperor and Dong Zhuo.

Now, no matter whether you want to be the emperor or not, all the nobles are set on fire. If you don't send troops, you will be a sinner who will rest in peace forever.

The seven nobles joined together for the first time, and all the faces were filled with irritability. They wanted to kill Vogelgis V, but they definitely couldn't die like this.

He can die in an accident, at the hands of his own people, but he must not die among a group of foreign forces.

"Whoever can take down this group of people will be the new emperor, how about it?" the old god Fars Sassan suggested.

"Okay!" Artabanus, who is a royal family, said directly and decisively.

Rest in peace among the seven nobles, one of which is the royal family. Originally, after Vogelgis V ascended the throne, they would go to Tessiphon to serve Vogelgis V.

The royal family and the royal family are two different things, just like the difference between Liu Hong, Liu Bian and Liu Bei. The ancestors may be one, but it is completely different after development.

However, in most cases, they are the emperor's reliance, and they are also the most powerful among the seven nobles. After all, they are backed by the royal family and have developed a lot.

Today's Artabanus is just like Liu Yan at the beginning, and he also has the possibility of inheriting the throne.

Naturally, he was particularly concerned about chasing and killing Li Que and his gang.

Male of the Karan family frowned, but did not refuse. After all, public opinion was already overwhelming here. No matter who became the new emperor, he had to come up with one first, otherwise Anxi might really collapse.

They just want to fight for power, but they don't want a rest that is completely divided, so that they have no capital to talk to Rome.

After all, there is still an insurmountable barrier between the kingdom and the empire.

Kirkuk, the patriarch of the Milan family, also nodded. Their family did not have much fighting spirit and was a neutral faction.

The patriarch of the Esfandel family also had no objections. He was originally very optimistic about Vogelges V, but he didn't expect that he would die in such a hurry.

Upal, the patriarch of the Zeke family, looked at Fars Sassan. Fars Sassan did not belong to the seven nobles.

It's hard to say whether the other party has selfish intentions or not, but if Fars Sassan can take down the enemy, it seems to be a good object of support.

Their Zeke family doesn't have enough heirs, nor is their strength strong enough. He himself is getting old, and his son's ability is not so outstanding. There is no hope of fighting for the emperor. It's better to see who is more powerful. When the time comes It's better to stand in a team and get a little more profit.

After seeing half of the people unified, the patriarchs of the Su Lun family and the Mihran family had no choice but to agree.

The seven aristocrats who had reached the same goal did not procrastinate. Under the leadership of the seven imperial guards, they led the army to chase Li Que and the others.

After Li Que and the others received Mu Yi's warning that day, they hurriedly searched for most of Taixifeng's property, and then retreated towards the Western Regions with the prisoners and harvest.

In particular, Gals, who surrendered, was directly activated by Li Que. Not only was he not guarded, but Li Que gave him weapons and equipment, allowing him to participate in the team of moving property.

Although Garth wanted to refuse, he also knew that if he left Li Que and the others, he would definitely be crushed by the rest.

They can surrender to Xinghan, but it doesn't mean they can surrender to Anxi. If they really surrender to Anxi, they may be humiliated and tortured in some way.

In desperation, Gals could only passively join Li Que and the others and become a mercenary at the price of their freedom. Li Que promised to set them free as long as they returned to the Western Regions.

As long as they avoid the rest of the large forces, they have more than 1000 Praetorian Guards, and it is easy to return to Rome.

"Anxi's light cavalry has caught up, and the opponent's large army should be arriving soon!" Garth glanced helplessly, the Anxi guard cavalry hanging behind their tails, the opponent's speed was very fast, and none of the people present One that can keep up.

The weakness on the frontal battlefield is the disadvantage of the light cavalry, but in this situation, the advantages of the light cavalry are brought to the extreme.

Although there was no way to substantially harass and threaten them due to the existence of the civil engineering corps, the other party kept a close eye on them, pointing out the direction for the combined army behind.

Because of the reason for returning with a full load, the speed of their army's retreat is not too fast.

Although there are two army soul legions sitting in the town, but facing the menacing An'xi army, even Xu Rong is not very sure in his heart.

After all, judging from the current situation, although the strength of the seven nobles is uneven, the imperial guards are all types that cannot be underestimated.

As the head of the guards of the Eastern Duke of Rome, Gals naturally had a certain understanding of the Praetorian Guards in Rest.

From his mouth, Xu Rong learned that although Anxi was very good and was beaten by Rome, it was not unreasonable for him to survive for so long.

The imperial guards in the hands of every nobleman are quite capable of fighting. From Garth's point of view, they may not be weaker than the Xiliang iron cavalry.

Coupled with the disgusting person's incineration talent, if they really fight, they will definitely not get the slightest benefit.

The incineration talent is also easy to crack, as long as the number of powerful legions is the same as that of the opposite incineration legion, but the problem now is that their number is far inferior to the opponent's.

Counting Garth's thousand-man team, they barely have three and a half legions, and there are at least seven incinerating legions on the opposite side. It really suffers a lot when fighting.
