The Han-Hun War was fought for more than 130 years, and it was not how weak the Han Empire was, or how strong the Xiongnu were, except for the opponent in chess, the grassland was too big and too wide, and there was no obvious landmark.
At that time, the territory of the Han Empire was smaller than that of the Xiongnu.
The total population of the Han Empire to Liu Che was about 50 million, and the territory was from the edge of the grassland in the north to the area of Mongolia and 1 ancient country, to the southwest peninsula of Myanmar in the west, to the East China Sea in the east, and to the south to the Hainan 1 sea.
The population of the Xiongnu at its peak was about two million, but the territory of the Xiongnu was terrifyingly large, with Lake Baikal beyond the North Sea in the north, the Great Xing'an Mountains in the Xianbei Mountains in the east, the entire Western Regions in the west, and the Great Wall in the south.
If you really want to compare, the territory of the Xiongnu is about twice that of the Western Han Dynasty at that time.
In fact, the Han Empire and the Xiongnu were two of the four major empires in the world at that time, and the other two empires, one was Rome and the other was the Seleucid Empire, which is recorded in the Central Plains history books as a branch.
Needless to say, Rome is a Persian country, and the Seleucid Empire is a Persian-dominated country, with Syrians, Egyptians, Armenians, and many other peoples, but the rulers of the Seleucid Empire are Macedonian descendants, and the Greeks are also the ruling class, because the Seleucid Empire is actually one of the "relics" after the Macedonian king Alexander's crusade.
It should be that not long before Liu Che annexed Nanyue, Minyue, Donou, Yelang, Ailao, and Yunnan, the Persians overthrew the Seleucid Empire, and after the establishment of the Parthian Kingdom, another kingdom called Greek Bactria also became independent from the Seleucid Empire, and Seleucus became a kingdom with only a few provinces of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq, and was no longer able to bear the name of the empire.
Of the four previous empires, only the Roman Empire still exists, but Rome has also split into two parts, the former Parthian Empire was replaced by the Sassanid Empire, and the Han Empire has been buried in the dust of history.
It's actually quite strange to say, the earth is so big, but those powerful empires are not the only country that has suffered turmoil, for example, when the Central Plains is invaded by the steppe Hu people, Rome will also be invaded by a group of barbarians led by the Germans and Goths.
Historians explain that both the Hu and barbarian empires were forced to migrate to warmer regions due to the cold climate.
Liu Yan has paid special attention to the current climate, according to academic interpretation, it is a period of Xiaoice, and the closer to the Arctic the region is, the colder it is.
"Therefore, the Hu people are resistant to retreating to the grassland," Liu Yan just discussed with his ministers what was going on with Shijie, Zhao Guo and Murong Xianbei's counterattack, and also talked about the climate issue.
He was looking at a map, a large map that depicted the borders of several countries: "Their counterattack was to contain the northward advance of our army."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ji Chang said with great certainty: "The grassland is full of white disasters, and this is the news that was interrogated from the prisoner Zhai Bin. ” Zhai Bin is one of the tribal kings of the Gaoche Tribal Alliance.
There are two tribal alliances in the high car, the west is called the western high car, and the east is naturally called the eastern high car, and the two high cars often break out in war because of the battle for the pasture, and Zhai Bin is the ranch was taken away before he took the people to take refuge in Shijie Zhao State.
Located in the east, there is also a Rouran Tribal Alliance on the edge of the Gaoche Tribal Alliance.
Whether it is the East High Car or the West High Car, including the back of the Rouran Alliance, they were all wiped out by the rapidly rising Turks.
The Gaoche Tribal Alliance is a force dominated by Ding Lingren, they are entrenched in the Mobei region, listening to Zhai Bin's explanation that it begins to snow every autumn, and there will inevitably be a snowstorm in winter, causing the Western Gaoche Tribal Alliance to begin to invade a country called Yueban Northern Xiongnu descendants, and the Eastern Gaoche Alliance is also constantly invading the Rouran Tribal Alliance.
The topographical drawings on the large map are not entirely accurate, but they do mark all the known countries and powers, including the two known forces of the High Car Alliance.
In such a large map, the Han Kingdom really seems to be too small, and it can be regarded as Liu Yan's use to spur the ministers.
"In this case, Shi Hu will indeed not easily retreat into the grassland."
Sang Yu didn't know about the two high cars or Rouran before, and only after seeing the map did he make a new judgment: "Not only because of the climate, Shi Jie wants to lead the crowd to retreat into the grassland, but also to face the high cars." ” Knowing how big the world is, how high the vision will be, Liu Yan is telling the ministers with facts that the Central Plains is definitely not the whole world, in addition to the Central Plains, there is a vast territory, and the Han State is not the end of recovering the old land of the Han family, but should focus on destroying all known countries and creating an unprecedented empire.
"The Great Han invaded the south, Shi Hu and Murong Hao should think that it is extremely appropriate to take advantage of this time to fight back."
Sang Yu said but glanced at Liu Yan vaguely, and paused before saying: "Although there is an expectation of setting up a situation for the Hu people to fight back, there are really too many fronts of the Han Dynasty. ” The southern invasion of the Han army was advocated by Liu Yan, and Ji Chang, the left prime minister who mainly relied on the will of the king, did not have any advice, and Sang Yu had many suggestions in advance, but unfortunately it was not adopted.
Any country tries its best to avoid fighting on two fronts, even the strongest country will choose to open a new front after solving the current opponent, but the Han State ruled by Liu Yan maintained multiple fronts as early as when there was only one county, and there were more fronts after the real establishment of the country.
Liu Yan laughed a few times, and it was difficult to explain anything to Sang Yu.
It was the reality that forced the Han State to go to war on multiple fronts, after all, from the very beginning, the Han State was not accepted by the countries in the world, how could those countries let the Han State solve it one by one, it must be rushed up.
In the face of a rush up, should Liu Yan avoid it "Fu Hong led the crowd north, and the Liang army did not stop it."
Ji Chang raised his finger and pointed to the location of Zhang's Liangguo on the map: "Thinking about it, the Di clan gave up Longxi to Liangguo, so Liangguo must have reached some agreement with Shijie." ” Come on, the Han State is already at war with Shijie Zhao, Murong Yan, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and these three are the most powerful countries in the East of the world.
The Liang Kingdom of the Zhang clan was recorded on the list of hostile states, as well as the Tuoba Dynasty, a country that had actually begun to conflict, and the Han State was facing five regional powers with one country.
A map of mountains and rivers has been replaced.
The map of mountains and rivers is used for marching warfare, and it is not the same as ordinary maps.
The mountains and rivers map only paints the countries and forces around the Han Kingdom, such as Gaoche, Rouran, Tuyuhun, Wusun, Yueban, Linyi, Funan, and so on.
"There is Shijie on the first line of Bingzhou, there is Murong Xianbei in Youzhou, and there are Di tribes and Liang army in Guanzhong" Ji Chang deliberately pointed out those positions: "There will inevitably be a big war in the three regions." ” "Liangguo may reach a settlement with Shijie, and join forces to attack" Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Is it possible?"
"Everything ends with the worst."
Ji Chang's thousand-year-old dead face pulled an unsightly smile, even if he had laughed: "Go and strive for the best result." ” "The Northern Expedition Corps should be split."
Sang Yu said bluntly: "The area that General Zhengbei is responsible for is too large, and the next only Shijie counterattack should focus on parrying, and Jizhou and Guanzhong should be reassigned." ” Lu Tai was in the military tent, and after the establishment of his field corps was canceled, he was originally going to be transferred south to participate in the invasion of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but at that time, Shijie ceded Jizhou and Youzhou to Murong Yanguo.
"Hengan has been fighting in Jizhou for a long time, and he is most familiar with Murong Xianbei."
The Heng'an in Sang Yu's mouth is Lu Tai.
He saluted Liu Yan, who didn't know what he was thinking, and suggested: "Let Hengan go back to Jizhou to preside over the war." ” Liu Yan was thinking about how to distribute the strength of the Praetorian Guard.
Now the "quota" in his hand has increased to 70,000, in order to support the consumption of national strength, nearly 30,000 quotas are used for production, 5,000 are used on warships, the remaining 10,000 are used for emergencies, the remaining 15,000 are in the Northern Expeditionary Corps, and another 10,000 are in the Southern Invasion Corps.
In the near future, if it is not necessary, Liu Yan actually no longer uses the system force.
It's not that the system unit is not easy to use, on the contrary, the system unit is too easy to use, and it is possible that the non-system force will be too dependent and will be abolished, so that he has to use it carefully.

"Guanzhong can appoint Ruicai as the main general, with the Yulin Army as the main force."
Sang Yu has already stood on the edge of the map of mountains and rivers, and the Rui he said is Li Tan.
When he saw Liu Yan looking over, he continued: "With the Yulin Army as the main force and the original garrison, it is enough to deal with it." ” "If you want to split the Northern Expeditionary Corps" Ji Chang took a deep look at Sang Yu, and did not fully agree with Sang Yu's obvious suppression of Ran Min, but the situation changed, and the split of the Northern Expeditionary Corps did have to be: "General Zhengbei should be summoned to Wang Yuan first." ” Sang Yu is indeed suppressing Ran Min, out of public intentions, but his selfishness is not small.
Sang Yu represents the Central Plains family, and as the Han Kingdom recovers more and more regions, the contradiction between his interest group and the interest group represented by Ran Min is getting bigger and bigger.
Liu Yan is the one who makes the final decision, and the ministers should deal with it, and they just listen to it in the process and will not make a decision immediately.
Of course, he noticed that Sang Yu had a personal vendetta, but he didn't care too much.
Liu Yan didn't care if it wasn't out of the emperor's tricks, like the courtiers fighting each other to benefit the royal family.
Just as he was thinking about how to use the Praetorian Guard, after the old land of the Han family was restored, these people still didn't know how many of them should be arranged to continue to fight abroad, not that they would just live in peace and go to the nest
