Master Xuanzang standing in front of Wu Qi is not as white and pure as in the TV series, he has been trekking for many years, exposed to wind and sun, which makes his skin dark with bronz, although he is not as graceful as the monk who fascinated the king of the daughter country, but he is also a thick eyebrow and big eyes, and he is a talent.
The apprentices behind him were a fat man and two thin men, both with shaved heads, wearing light blue coarse cloth monk's robes, and their bodies were full of dust.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Xuanzang is so polite" Master Xuanzang walked into the handsome tent with steady steps, folded his hands under the gaze of the full hall of civil and martial arts, and saluted Wu Qi, who was sitting in the center, without being humble or arrogant.
Wu Qi got up slightly and returned the salute: "A certain is Wu Qi, the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the West, I heard that you were sent by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to go to the Western countries to learn scriptures."
Tang Seng bowed slightly: "The poor monk did go to the west to learn scriptures and draw a map of the western countries by the holy decree of the Han Emperor.
Ten years ago, the poor monk left Jinling with three apprentices to embark on a journey to the west, which lasted ten years, traveled to all Western countries, including Rome and Anxi, and hand-drew nearly 100 maps, from mountains and rivers to small villages and towns, almost all of which were included. ” "That's really the case" Wu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he took the case, "Dare to ask the master if he can let the governor see it" Xuanzang nodded and said, "Naturally."
As he spoke, he turned around and instructed the fat monk: "Wu Neng, go to the suitcase and bring the map drawn for the teacher to show Wu Dudu." ” The fat apprentice agreed, turned around and walked out of the handsome tent, came to the door and opened the suitcase, searched for a while, and then returned to the handsome tent with a stack of thick maps and handed it to Wu Qi: "Please take a look at Wu Dudu" Wu Qi immediately looked at Su Liecha, as the maps unfolded, the faces of the two became more and more excited, and the brilliance in their eyes became more and more hot, only to see that these maps were really as Xuanzang said, from mountains and rivers, cities and lakes, to small mountain villages, market towns, temples and churches, almost everything, depicted vividly, making people feel as if they were there.
"Haha, great, great, these maps are priceless" After reading the map, Wu Qi looked up to the sky and laughed, like crazy, and turned around and gave Xuanzang a warm hug, "Master Xuanzang, these maps of yours are simply a charcoal in the snow for Wu Qi and the Han Dynasty, with it, it will definitely make the road to the west twice the result with half the effort, I don't know how many soldiers' lives will be saved."
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said: "If you can help the Holy Lord unify the whole world and let the people in this world believe in Buddhism, Xuanzang will be worth the trip." ” Wu Qi excitedly showed Xuanzang's hand-drawn map to his subordinate Wenwu: "Colleagues, you have read carefully, these are the maps of Great Xia, where there are mountains and rivers, where there are cards, where there are secret passages, it is simply everything, with it, I Wu Qi dare to boast of Haikou, and I can destroy Great Xia in three months." ” Xuanzang said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid it's not so easy."
Wu Qiwan said with a smile: "Oh, Master Xuanzang, what do you mean by this, do you not believe in your own map, or do you not believe in the ability of this governor to use troops, or do not believe in the soldiers under my command?"
Xuanzang shook his head and said, "It's not."
"Oh, that's weird," Wu Qi seemed to smile, "Master Mo Fei feels that Xiang Yu is brave and invincible, so it is difficult to be easily defeated" Xuanzang shook his head again: "It's not, but the army of the Roman Empire is coming."
"Rome" Wu Qi's face changed sharply, "The master is not wrong, or maybe Bendu heard it wrong" Xuanzang nodded and said: "I didn't say it wrong, and the governor didn't hear it wrong, it was indeed the Roman army coming." ” Only then did Wu Qi feel the seriousness of the matter: "How many troops did Rome really send and where is it at the moment?"
Xuanzang took a few steps forward, pulled it from the table, found a map, pointed to one of the cities and said: "Our master and apprentice found the Roman army in Montenegro, which is mighty, with about three or four hundred thousand horses."
Wu Qi immediately checked the map and found that Montenegro was only more than 200 miles away from Sophia, the western town of the Rest Empire, and the mighty Roman army advanced all the way to the border, definitely not to see the scenery, it seemed that there was only one purpose, that is, to march to rest in peace.
After hearing Xuanzang's words, the hall was in an uproar, and the generals and colonels immediately discussed, and they were surprised by the sudden dispatch of the Roman army.
If three or four hundred thousand Roman troops joined the battlefield of Sabbath, the situation would have become complicated.
"The Roman Empire suddenly sent troops, what did it mean" Wu Qi turned around with a solemn face and sat back down in the handsome case, half talking to himself and half asking about the civil and military forces under his command.
An eight-foot-tall, clear-faced, gentle and elegant soldier stood up and saluted: "Governor, the subordinate wants to talk about his opinions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Wu Qi said with a kind face: "Hehe Tian Dan, your insight and strategy make the governor very admired, if you have something to say, the governor and the generals are listening." ” Tian Dan hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "The governor praised it falsely, and the lower officials spoke lightly, if it weren't for the love of the governor, how could the lower officials be worthy of talking about it here and being loved by the governor, and the lower officials would try to analyze it and throw bricks and lead the jade." ” After a pause, Tian Dan continued: "Rome dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops at once, obviously not to the border to suppress bandits, but for only one purpose, that is, to march and rest in peace.
But when the Roman army suddenly entered the rest, what was the intention of the answer, there were only two answers, one was to encroach on the land of rest like our army, and the other was to help the rest resist our attack. ” Wu Qi and Su Lie bowed their heads together: "Mr.
Tian is reasonable, in your opinion, which is more likely?"
Tian Dan saluted Xuanzang: "Before analyzing, I have a question that I need to ask Master Xuanzang first, so that I can accurately judge the intentions of the Romans." ” "Adults ask directly," Xuanzang stood straight and replied without a smile.
Tian Dan nodded: "I heard the scout say before that Rome is also in a situation where the princes are divided, and I don't know if the wars between them are frequent."
Xuanzang replied: "Lord Huitian's words, although there are currently many powerful princes in Rome who support their own troops, they still support the Roman court on the surface and pay taxes to the court.
Although there were conflicts between the princes, the scale was limited, and it was not as widespread as the division of the princes in the Han Dynasty. ” Tian Dan nodded, turned to Wu Qi and Su Lie and said: "No wonder Rome suddenly sent troops, the situation in the country is still under control, maybe I am more worried that our Han will be stronger after destroying Anxie, so we marched to Anxie."
In addition, Liu Bang claimed to be the descendant of Gaozu and vowed to regain the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty, and the lower officials guessed that his purpose was to target our army."
Wu Qi deeply agreed with Tian Dan's words, and made a long analysis: "Tian Senjun's analysis is reasonable, our Han Dynasty had a population of more than 60 million during the period of Emperor Xiaoling, and the Roman Empire had a population of 40 million.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the division of the princes, the population of our Han Dynasty dropped by about 10 million, and the Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and parts of Xuzhou controlled by Cao Wei, as well as Youzhou occupied by Tang Kou were about 10 million, and there are still about 40 million people in the mainland under the rule of the imperial court.
After destroying the princes and tribes of the Kushan and Indochina Peninsula and conquering the western part of the Wa Kingdom, our Han Dynasty was supplemented by more than 10 million people, and the current number of people in the imperial court has exceeded 50 million.
If Cao Wei and Li Tang were exterminated, the imperial court would inevitably be replenished by another 10 million people, and its national strength would increase significantly.
If we were to perish and rest again, it would form an overwhelming advantage over the Roman Empire, and in such a situation, Rome would certainly not be willing to sit idly by, and it would be reasonable to send troops in advance.
Combined with Liu Bang's fallacy of claiming to be a descendant of Gaozu, the Roman army is likely to be the enemy of our army, and preparations must be made in advance for war with Rome."
Huang Feihu, Jiang Song and others clenched their fists one after another: "The soldiers will come to Tutun to block the water, I am afraid that he will do something and the Romans will come to die, then let them come, and I will repeat the scene of Jiaozhou's total annihilation of Meng Tian's 400,000 army."
Compared with the enthusiasm of the generals, Su Lie was more calm: "If the Roman army reaches an alliance with the Sabbatarians, it will be tricky and ruthless, the situation has changed, our army can no longer take the initiative to attack Great Xia, we must turn from offensive to defensive, and the flying pigeon will report to the imperial court, and try to strive for a legion of about 300,000 people to come to reinforcements, so as to be invincible."
Wu Tou: "The dialect is reasonable, the governor personally revised the book to Your Majesty, stated the interests and disadvantages, and asked Your Majesty to send an expeditionary force to reinforcements if conditions permit, so as to make sure that everything is possible." ” Wu Qi said that he would do it, immediately picked up the pen and polished it, and personally wrote a letter to Liu Wei, reporting on the situation of the Roman army's march towards Anxi, hoping that the imperial court could send a corps into Anxi to participate in the war as much as possible.
Tian Dan also offered another plan: "Asking for reinforcements is only a passive strategy, our army should also take the initiative to make a move, send messengers to contact the Roman legions, and use the equal sharing of rest as bait, and strive to persuade the Roman east and west to attack the rest in peace."
It's not very hopeful, but you should try it as much as you can, in case the main commander of the Roman army wins."
Wu Tou: "Tian Senjun's words are reasonable, and the governor immediately personally revised the book, and sent an envoy to quickly and riskily cross the rest to intercept the Roman army, and strive to persuade Rome to reach an alliance with our army and flank the rest of the army."
If this plan can work, it will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, first destroy the rest, and then fight with Rome."
After understanding the intentions of the Romans and formulating a coping strategy, Wu Qi ordered a banquet to entertain Xuanzang's master and apprentice, and asked with a salute: "I patronized the military discussion, and I forgot to ask the names of the three senior disciples of the master, and I don't know how to call them."
The three of them hurriedly introduced themselves, and a thin man said first: "The poor monk's surname is Sun, and his law name is Wukong."
The fat man said: "The poor monk's surname is Zhu, and his law name is Wu Neng." ” The last one said: "The poor monk's surname is Sha, and the Dharma name is Wujing."
We are all Jinyi Guards, and the Dharma name is given by His Majesty."
Wu Qi smiled and said: "Good, good, good work, please come with me to the feast" t1706231537:
