Chapter 258 Gathering in Chang'an
When Ganassis returned to his territory, he then received news of the death of Emperor Parthia.

Ganassis didn't have many accidents, they were all rubbed against the ground in Rome, let alone Anxi, a weak chicken.

The strength of Anxi is not weak, but there is a problem with the military system of Anxi. The military system of Anxi has not changed for 100 years. In the past, the light cavalry that Rome defeated and the addition of organizational archers is now superior to the Romans. I didn't change it.

On the one hand, it was because of his lack of power, and on the other hand, Anxi's own thinking was rigid, and he failed to produce a reliable army general to set up a technology tree.

In this regard, whether it is Rome, the Han Dynasty, or the Huns, they are all smarter. At least they have a complete technology tree in their country. questionable.

Just like Yuan Shao was unable to control Gongsun Zan's white horse at first, Huangfu Song was able to control Gongsun Zan's white horse with just a shot. The difference here was the heritage.

Rome has become a habit of adapting measures to local conditions, and never thought that other countries would come to rest in peace. The only estimated possible Hun cavalry did not appear, and it turned out that other troops came.

The current equipment in Rome is all for light cavalry. To be precise, their current military system can basically disgust most light cavalry, including Baima Yicong, the elite light cavalry.

Their average strength is not outstanding, but relying on their numbers, they can form a wall with bows and arrows, and make the white horse suffer.

After all, that high rate of fire is not fake, but a serious elite talent, which can empty a quiver in an extreme time, and the suppression effect is almost full.

It can be said that the guard in Anxi didn't show up at the beginning, but if he showed up, he would have been tied into a hedgehog long ago.

"Xinghan! Where did Xinghan come from?" Ganassis was full of question marks.

Ganassis had a bit of a headache. Although there were unexpected reasons and being flanked, the fighting power and momentum displayed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry showed that this was an elite team.

Moreover, the existence of the two army soul corps on the other side made Ganassis even more question marks.

The last story of the surprise attack by the Army Soul Legion was when Holy Trajan counterattacked the rest of the Army Soul and broke into Ctesiphon.

As a result, this time, Rome was unexpectedly attacked by the Army Soul Legion. Of course, judging from the current situation, Ctesiphon probably did not escape. Even the Emperor of Parthia was killed. It was really tragic.

"Heavy cavalry at the level of the parliamentary guard." Ganassis said after a moment of silence, "There are not many regiments in the empire that can deal with this type of troops. We need to know more about this cavalry of unknown origin."

Ganassis could count the number of Romans who could compete with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on his fingers. As for those who could compete with the two Army Soul Legions, they were even fewer.

"I might know where they came from!" The camp leader pondered for a moment, then said.

"Oh? Tell me?" Ganassis looked at the camp leader, who came from a big Roman family and was well-informed.

"This should be the Han army. You may not know that there is an empire to the east of Anxi. It is said to be a very powerful empire called Han. The Hun Empire was defeated by the Han Empire. Compared with the Hun's combat power..."

The camp leader was also silent when he said this. He used to read this as gossip, but he didn't expect to meet him this time. The strength shown by the other party is really shocking.

"Han? Xinghan Empire?" Only one person in the tent had heard of it, and everyone else was confused.

"I don't know much!" The camp leader frowned, recalling what he had seen.

"The only thing that is certain is that it was a powerful and wealthy empire. The silk we wear and the porcelain we use come from that empire, not Anxi and Wusun!" The camp leader said after thinking for a while.

"Silk, porcelain?" All the Roman generals became excited. This is an extremely precious treasure in their country.

"Let us conquer that empire, with the invincible Roman eagle, the powerful parliamentary guard, the powerful emperor's guard legion, the powerful auxiliary legion, and our slings, heavy infantry, and archers, we can defeat any country !”

Their first reaction when they heard the news was to grab it!
I didn't know where to go to grab it before, but now that I know the place, I naturally want to send troops to conquer it.

Ganassis waved his hand speechlessly, signaling the generals present to calm down.

Hitting Anxi is a bit powerless, and beating Xinghan who is farther than Anxi is purely kicked by a donkey.

He is very clear about the strength of a country that can be named an empire.

Even Anxi, an empire that has been completely dragged into a pit by Rome, has passed 100 years since it started fighting. Although Anxi is dying, he still exists on this continent.

Even if there is a reason for the long Roman transportation line, it can be seen from this that the wars between the empires basically lasted for several generations to see the results.

Besides, they were beaten up with two army soul legions just now. With these two army soul legions, Ganassis has a hundred reasons to believe that the Xinghan Empire is definitely stronger than Anxi.

They haven't even settled down with rest, and they are talking about traveling long distances to conquer a stronger empire.

However, after the camp leader’s explanation, they also had a general understanding of the Han Empire. They fought against the Huns before, and the combat effectiveness of the opponent’s cavalry was quite unscientific. Back then, the parliamentary guards did not fight alone, but there were two eagle flags beside them. Guarded by the Legion.

However, there was nothing wrong with it. The three legions were tied together, and they were all blown up by the Xiongnu guards.

Coupled with the outstanding performance of the Hun Guards and the dual talents, Rome recognized the Huns as an empire-level force, but when they learned that the Huns lived in no fixed place and had no safe place to live, Rome recognized the Huns as fake Empires, like grass without roots, will perish sooner or later.

At that time, they were still curious about why such a powerful force as the Xiongnu had no fixed place. Now they know that it was because the Xiongnu were beaten by the Han Dynasty and could not return.

In other words, Ganassis felt that these two Army Soul Corps might have come out to find the Huns.

After all, they also feel that the three major barbarians in Europe and Anxi will be eliminated soon. If the country is stable, they really do not recommend sending out the Army Soul Corps to quell these hatreds.

"But the good news is that the Xinghan Empire and the Parthian Empire are fighting, maybe we can get a bargain!" Ganassis clapped his hands to bring everyone's attention back to reality.

It is too unscientific to go to conquer an empire thousands of miles away, at least in the eyes of Ganassis now.

But it's not all good news. Xinghan's army soul captured Taixifeng and killed the Anxi emperor. This is a deadly enemy.

There will be a battle between Anxi and Xinghan. They just need to wait for the result quietly. If he raises troops this time, he will not bring a group of useless savages. bring.

After the sky changed, the major Eagle Banner regiments also took a wave of express trains.

Ten 34 Fifteen, the three Eagle Banner Legions all have the strength not to lose to the Imperial Guards.

Especially Thirteenth and Fourteenth, the former is invincible in the imperial guards, only half a step away from taking the last step, the latter is a rogue army, even if it is against the army soul army, it is not impossible to fight back. Roman Citizen Legion.

He is confident that he will not be defeated when facing Anxi and Xinghan again.

The face he lost must be recovered, otherwise he will really be kicked out of the emperor's battle sequence.

He was only one step away from the throne, but he was still somewhat unwilling to do so.

But no matter how unwilling Ganassis was, he actually understood that if he couldn't make any great achievements, he wouldn't be able to get the throne.

Because now that Rome is divided into five, the four dukes are divided into one side, and the central senate controls the army soul and auxiliary legion. Among all the dukes, his strength is the weakest.

This is another reason why Ganassis wants to temper the barbarian army. The elite barbarians left behind after being baptized in the war are always much stronger than the trash barbarians.

Speaking of which, thanks to the presence of the Fourteenth Legion, Ganassis was able to often pull out hundreds of thousands of talented barbarians. If it weren't for the special abilities of the Fourteenth Legion, Ganassis was not the commander of the Grand Army, and he wanted to go out before the war. It is almost impossible to have [-] talented barbarians.

Just as the situation in the Western Regions was changing, the Central Plains was thriving.

Liu Zhang and his party led civil servants and military generals to the Yangtze River via Jingzhou, entered Sili Hongnong, passed through Tongguan, and finally entered Jingzhaoyi.

"My lord, you might as well take a rest for a while. When you get here, you don't have to worry too much. The official road is wide, and you can arrive in a few days. I think you have received news from Chang'an, and you should send someone to welcome you!" And Liu Zhang, who was a little tired, said admonishingly.

"Can we arrive in a few days?" Liu Zhang looked a little dazed. The closer he got to Chang'an, the more uneasy he became, which stemmed from many aspects of uneasiness.

But Liu Zhang looked at the civil and military people around him, and still shook his head helplessly, even if he repented, what's the point.

"Let's go! Arrive in Chang'an as soon as possible, and take a good rest!" Liu Zhang glanced at Zhang Song, and seeing Zhang Song's face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. No matter how many times he looked at it, he always felt that Zhang Song was too ugly.

Zhang Song's mental strength is extraordinary, so he naturally felt the emotion in Liu Zhang's eyes, and felt a little helpless in his heart. Although Liu Yan couldn't understand his face, he valued his talent anyway. Liu Zhang didn't value his own talent because of his face. , that's why Zhang Song chose to give up Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang is wearing black clothes with health care hanging on his waist. He is still young and has a well-proportioned body. The comparison with Zhang Song should not be too strong, but there is always a feeling of wearing a monkey and wearing a crown. It does not feel like holding a state. princes of the land.

The ruler chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the ruler. Compared with Liu Zhang, the Mu Yi he saw last time was much better, at least he did not underestimate his talent because of his appearance.

Zhang Song could only turn his head away from looking at Liu Zhang, but when Zhang Song's eyes fell on the wide official road, Zhang Song still showed a complicated look on his face.

The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. I am used to the mountain trails in Sichuan and Shu, but when I came to Sili area and saw such a wide official road, Zhang Song's envy was almost beyond words.

This is not a face-saving project, this official line truly represents Mu Yi's control over the Central Plains. The speed at which he can transport troops and food directly kills all other princes in an instant.

The flow of caravans coming and going on both sides of the official road allowed Zhang Song to calculate the prosperity of Chang'an almost easily, and Zhang Song was sure that what he calculated was only the tip of the iceberg of Chang'an.

The more Zhang Song understood, the more Zhang Song felt that it was a good idea for them to surrender and offer soil. There was really nothing to fight, and there was nothing to say about being blown up in every aspect.

Zhang Song resolutely mobilized the traditional performing arts of the old Zhang family and became the leading caster brother.

"Let's go, go to the post station, change to a carriage, and send someone to Chang'an to let us know where we're going to settle down!" Zhang Song was only stunned for a moment, and then gave orders to the others.

If it was in the past, when the royal family members entered Chang'an, they would have their own arrangements, but now the emperor and the courtiers cannot follow the old system.

Soon Yan Yan got a luxurious carriage from the inn, and Liu Zhang dismounted and replaced it with a carriage. After all, not to mention Liu Zhang's royal status, just because of his position as a state shepherd, switching to a carriage barely fit Liu Zhang's status.

As the saying goes, "The emperor has six, the princes have five, the ministers have four, the officials have three, the scholars have two, and the common people have one."

Considering the complicated influence, Zhang Song changed Liu Zhang to a four-horse carriage, that is, a four-horse carriage.

Strictly speaking, Liu Zhang should be regarded as a vassal, but after all, he had to consider the influence, and Liu Zhang didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he acquiesced to the matter of the four-horse carriage.

A group of elite soldiers led by Yan Yan and Zhang Ren also put on armor, not because they were afraid of being attacked, but as a form of superficial reliance.

After that, the group of people marched towards Chang'an along the official road at a speed that was not dissatisfied.

After marching for half a day, an army of hundreds of people with the same imposing manner escorted a carriage and slowly marched towards Liu Zhang's convoy.

"Be alert!" When Yan Yan saw such a convoy behind him from a distance, his face showed obvious fear. The truth exuded by the other party was more terrifying than the elite he had carefully selected in Yizhou.

You know, he has selected a large number of officers to accompany him, but even this is not as majestic as the other party.

This made Yan Yan inevitably feel a sense of crisis. Mu Yi may not be that kind of person, but the people under Mu Yi's subordinates may not necessarily want to let the remnants of the previous dynasty survive.

To save Liu Zhang's life, it was a joint decision of Yizhou's civil and military forces. There must be no problems in this kind of place. As long as they enter Chang'an, everything will be safe.

When Yan Yan was on guard, Meng Huo was also on guard against the convoy in front of him. He could feel the threat from the other side, so he couldn't help but be careless.

"Mu Lu, Zhu Rong, be on guard and protect the gentleman!" Meng Huo turned his head and said to his right arm and right arm, and the two immediately rode out to guard the sides of the carriage.
