Chapter 1092 Discussion
Of course, imitation is not omnipotent after all. It is for this reason that although Lu Meng could be used to beat Lu Xun and others, he encountered military gods like Zhuge Liang and Guo Ziyi.
His resistance was not as effective as Lu Xun and others. The reason was because of the problem of basic skills. When he encountered Lu Xun and others who were not much different from him, Han Xin's tactics were enough to kill the weak ones. However, when he encountered Zhuge Liang and Huangfu Song who had a good foundation, Lu Meng's tactics felt a bit like showing off one's skills in front of an expert.
However, Lu Meng was still very satisfied, because he was now a person standing at the top of the Han Dynasty. As long as he did not confront these perverts, he could easily kill other generals.
After all, war is not just about command. Military strategy, military management, command and training are all key factors that affect victory or defeat.
Military management and command represent how many people you can use to defeat opponents that are several times larger than yours, and military training is to make up for the lower limit of these aspects. When the quality of soldiers is high enough, the difficulty of commanding and managing the army is relatively low.
But it still depends on the overall situation.
The requirement to become a military god is to break the limit just a little bit.
The four existing military gods of the Han Dynasty all broke the limits. Han Xin broke the limit in commanding troops, Bai Qi broke the limit in command, Huo Qubing broke the limit in training troops, and Wei Qing broke the limit in managing the army.
As long as they break the limit, the rest for them will be the peak of mortals with just a little effort.
Just like before the miracle, everyone's military talents are very limited, basically only one or two and then start to dig deeper. Even when smelting talents, you have to be careful to choose the right one.
After the miracle, you can basically smelt it however you want.
You have a great talent, it will be mine in the next second.
The Fourteenth Group was actually created by Caesar based on the principle of the Tenth Knight. It's a pity that perfection does not mean suitability. The Fourteenth Group is also a rogue legion.
But if you are caught by the Legion of Miracles, you will die a miserable death.
It's like Han Xin doesn't know much about training soldiers, but he has no pressure in training a royal guard, while Huangfu Song can only rely on luck to train his royal guards. Even Han Xin thinks that his training of soldiers is rubbish.
Huangfu Song could only laugh and say that as long as the God of War was happy.
The war in Ctesiphon ended, and both the Han Dynasty and Rome sent an envoy to Ctesiphon to negotiate peace.
Pippenanus and Penelence brought a group of Roman masters to Ctesiphon, and Li Ru had been waiting for a long time. Compared with the cautiousness of Pippenanus and others, Li Ru and others seemed much more casual.
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others fought behind Li Ru, and the Roman masters were under tremendous pressure.
"A wise man from the Han Dynasty!"
Pippenanus looked at Li Ru. He had no scepter or token, but with a look that treated everything in the world, including himself, as chess pieces, he immediately determined that the other party must be a big shot.
And even the Yue Fei from before was standing behind Li Ru.
Penelunus, Su, Perinlius, Alessandro and others all looked very unhappy. Let alone the others, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were too strong.
Even though they had met them during the battle with Brahma, it was only now that they clearly realized how powerful these three were.
Especially Zhao Yun. Su had never taken Zhao Yun seriously, but during their last sparring match, Zhao Yun directly paralyzed Su.
The two fought for tens of thousands of rounds, and finally Su discovered that he could not kill Zhao Yun.
Not only was he unable to kill him, he couldn't even injure him. Later on, he was able to predict Zhao Yun's future, but Zhao Yun had already seen through his moves, making it seem like the fight between the two was fake.
Su looked at Dian Wei again and wished he could gouge out his eyes. Dian Wei's problem was obvious: he couldn't beat him, but the problem was that he couldn't kill Dian Wei either.
If they really went to the battlefield, Dian Wei could easily fight other people with his attacks.
Su was helpless and could only look at Yue Fei.
Well, he can solve this dish in ninety moves.
Lu Bu looked at Su and the others with an indifferent expression. Although Su and the others had more people, it made no difference to Lu Bu.
In other words, Su and Penilence need to pay attention, as they are probably evenly matched with Zhao Yun and the others, and are both second-order masters.
Others like Michael, Gabriel and the like are just weaklings. He can fight four alone under the cloud.
There are no clouds now, so you can fight however you want.
However, it is a bit troublesome to kill them. If any boundary-breaking person is only interested in escaping, it will be very troublesome to kill him.
"Rome, Pipoanus. May I ask your name, sir? How do we negotiate this time?" Pipoanus did not beat around the bush. Both parties were empires, and beating around the bush would not be good for either side.
"Han Dynasty, Li Ru and Li Wenyou!" Li Ru also returned the greeting politely. Although the etiquette of both sides was different, the sense of respect was already exuded.
"The Han Dynasty will take Media to the east, and the area fifty miles west to the Zagros Mountains will be made a jointly managed commercial area. What's further west will be taken over by you Romans!" Li Ru stated his request calmly.
Pippenanus looked at Li Ru deeply. The other party saw his bottom line directly, which was not good news.
The most taboo thing in business is to be seen through, and now he has lost his bottom line.
"Sure! I wonder how long it will take the Han Dynasty to deal with the bandits in these places? But don't let it affect our trade." Pippenianus narrowed his eyes, changed the subject directly, and started to set a trap.
Those Parthian generals and officers must have been recuperating in the intact east of Ctesiphon. These bandits are not easy to wipe out!
Pippenanus was filled with mockery when he thought of Ardashir, Babak and others who had been let go by them, which was why they chose to give in.
Anyway, they . Let the Han Dynasty clean up these people from this land that carries the blood and tears of Parthia.
Even if the Han Dynasty and Parthia did not offend each other, Rome could still act as a catalyst. The hatred of losing territory and country cannot be appeased by words.
Even if Parthia hated Rome more, the Han Dynasty, which occupied this land, would inevitably come into opposition with Parthia.
Li Ru knew that this was an open conspiracy, but Li Ru ate it. He had to eat it even if he was full, as he was getting such a piece of land for free.
"You don't need to worry about this! We, the Han Dynasty, have plenty of ways!" Li Ru replied indifferently.
Neither side is a good person, and both are harboring evil intentions beneath the surface of peace.
They sat down for the sake of interests, so it is reasonable that they would turn against each other because of interests later.
"This is the covenant. We have both signed it again. I hope there won't be ."
Pippenanus took the alliance letter from Li Ru, nodded and handed it to the person behind him. The details would naturally be handled by professionals, and the general framework just needed to be negotiated.
Of course, he came here just to discuss trade matters, and naturally there were other people to take over the political matters.
"Okay, let's leave these procedures to them. How about we talk about business?" Pippanus straightened his clothes and asked seriously.
"Oh? I wonder what you mean?"
Li Ru raised his eyebrows. For a moment, he really didn't know what Pippenanus was talking about, but he was familiar with every situation and could fully represent it.
"Of course it's trade!" Pipenanus said as a matter of course. He was a financial officer. If he didn't talk about trade and economy, how could he talk about how to lead troops to fight?
"..." Li Ru hesitated for a moment. He felt that he was a little too arrogant. He didn't expect that Pippenianus would want to talk about this.
It’s not that he couldn’t talk, but he always felt that it would be better if Chen Xi could come.
"Wait a moment, our people have not arrived yet regarding the trade. Why don't we talk about other things first, such as suppressing bandits?" Li Ru smiled and transmitted the message to Zhao Yun, and then said to Piponanus.
Leave professional matters to professionals. Obviously, he was not that professional in the Han Dynasty.
Pippenanus was stunned for a moment. Li Ru knew at a glance that he was a proud and arrogant person. He did not expect that he would admit defeat so readily. It really made his passion go to waste.
"I wonder how you would like to talk?" Penelunus stood up upon hearing this. He and Piponanus were in charge of military affairs and politics respectively, so it was natural for him to deal with this kind of issue.
"We want to set up an area here for young people to gain experience. I wonder if you are interested?" Li Ru took out a map and pointed to the area near Taixifeng.
"What a big deal!" Penilence was a little shocked at this moment, but then he realized that this was a good thing for Rome.
The Romans were going to attack Britain next, and the barbarians became a big problem. After all, if they could not use the barbarians to fight, they could only use Roman citizens.
When these citizen legions left Rome, the pressure faced by Rome was too great. If the proportion of barbarians was too large, it would not be a good thing for the rule.
"How about we just use soldiers with double talents as the upper limit?" Penilence became excited.
If the upper limit is set, then there will be a place to put the barbarians on their side. At that time, they can select the best ones and stuff them into various citizen legions. This will enable them to increase their strength while reducing the number of barbarians.
Li Ru frowned. Dual talents, this is a very peculiar positioning.
I don’t know whether Rome has him or not, but in the Han Dynasty, it is not the first or second time that two talents have defeated three talents.
But soon, Li Ru relaxed his brows. It would be better if there was such a person.
Anyway, those aristocratic families are not good people. If there really is a real dragon like that, someone will naturally deal with it.
Although this area is for young people to perform, to put it bluntly, it is an area for negotiation between the two parties.
Moreover, the area east of Ctesiphon was completely the territory of the Han Dynasty. It would be a disaster if Rome was so honest.
But it doesn’t matter, the Han Dynasty has already reached an agreement with Great Britain.
By then, Great Britain will also send people over, and the three parties will still be fighting each other around the Eastern European area .
That place became a place that the Han Dynasty could not rush to. It was too close to Rome and it was difficult for the Han army to get there. After all, the Kushans had only entered a strategic defensive stage, not completely dead.
So at that time, the migrated families could only unite with Great Britain to face the Roman army.
Both parties got what they wanted, and finally looked at each other and laughed heartily.
Although each of them had their own ulterior motives, they had already reached a consensus. All that remained was for them to do their best within the rules jointly established by both parties.
After the two sides had discussed the general situation, Li Ru finally saw Zhao Yun return to the venue with a wooden statue in his hand.
“This was given to me by the General.”
Zhao Yun handed the statue of Chen Xi with a dragon head and a human body to Li Ru, and a faint spiritual fluctuation was flickering on it!
"Oh! Our people are here!" Li Ru stretched out his hand and activated it with his mental power. Soon, Chen Xi emerged from the statue.
"..." The corner of Pippenianus' eyes twitched. Why does he look a bit like the evil god that the Roman senators like to summon?
At this moment, Chen Xi had a dragon head body and nine tails behind his buttocks. There were also several gold ingots floating around him. It was obvious at first glance that he was definitely not a human.
"Zichuan, what are you doing!" Li Ru's mouth twitched slightly. This shape really doesn't look like a good thing. It has a kind of scary beauty.
"There's nothing I can do. My mental clone depends on everyone's perception of me. You also know how I am perceived by the people!" Chen Xi's mouth twitched as well, but he looked extremely ferocious at this moment.
"This is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi Chen Zichuan!" Li Ru took a deep breath and then introduced him to Pippannanus.
"Nice to meet you, I'm the Roman treasurer, Pippenianus, and I'm also your representative to negotiate trade details." Pippenianus greeted Chen Xi calmly.
"Come on, come on, I'm ready!" Chen Xi and Piponanus took out the trade lists they had prepared in advance and exchanged them with each other.
Then Chen Xi and Piponanus discovered several business opportunities at the same time.
Pippenianus discovered that Chen Xi's list actually required jade. This kind of stone was just like other stones in Rome and had no market at all, but the Han Dynasty actually needed it, which was obviously a huge business opportunity.
Chen Xi looked at the silk on the list and found nothing surprising. Under the silk was actually sugar and various heavy metal powders. The rest of the items could also be roughly estimated.
Both sides quickly looked through their lists, and then looked at each other with smiles. This is the benefit of cross-empire trade. Both sides can get what they want from the other side.
In fact, both sides had estimated each other's trade lists before. After all, both sides had sent envoys to conduct inspections. However, the envoys were not professional economic tycoons, and many things that were considered minor problems in their eyes were not discovered.
As soon as Pippenanus and Chen Xi got started, they instantly knew how to get the most value from this trade, and the rest was just a matter of bargaining.
And this is just preliminary trade. When the trade officially starts, many business opportunities that have never been discovered before will emerge.
For example, international students, certain production techniques, and certain artistic styles.
These things will become part of the economy, allowing both parties to benefit.
