Chapter 1097: Candidates for going abroad and the place to raise Gu
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Chen Zichuan to be so generous!" Yuan Shao looked at the information in his hand excitedly.
The Yuan family provided the funds, and Chen Xi stepped in to directly allocate to Yuan Shao ten fully staffed double-talented mixed legions of the Imperial Guard, which were basically troops from Jizhou and had an old relationship with Yuan Shao.
He also dismissed all the officers and soldiers who were willing to go abroad with Yuan Shao and placed them under Yuan Shao's command.
It has to be said that Yuan Shao in this world still has outstanding personal charm. After so much time has passed, there are still one-third of people who are willing to accompany Yuan Shao to make a comeback. It can be said that they have not even left the country.
Yuan Shao could already ride on the heads of other aristocratic families.
Chen Xi agreed to the relocation plan submitted by the Yuan family and also provided some technical support.
Of course, the price was that all of the Yuan family’s land in the Han Dynasty was nationalized, which basically cut off the Yuan family’s roots in the Central Plains.
Of course, the Yuan family also retained some shops and the like inside the Han Dynasty. They also knew that no matter what, they still had to rely on the support of the Han Dynasty in the early stages, so retaining the passage was extremely important.
"I'm afraid Chen Zichuan's things are not so easy to get!" Guo Tu's face looked a little ugly.
He is also a wise man with spiritual talent. Behind Chen Xi's generosity, he sees endless danger.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao was stunned, then calmed down and asked carefully.
"You have been imprisoned for too long, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get a lot of information." Guo Tu hesitated for a moment, but decided to give Yuan Shao a brief introduction to the current world.
He knew that one had to actually go there to experience this, but he had to prepare Yuan Shao for it, not because he was afraid that Yuan Shao would be scared, but because he was afraid that Yuan Shao would not be scared.
In fact, he and Xu You and others had a clear understanding of the Yuan family: it was a target.
A target to restrain the aristocratic family, resist the Roman army, and control Central Asia.
They were destined to absorb firepower, but they all had the confidence that they could strengthen themselves while absorbing firepower and help Yuan Shao build a powerful kingdom.
But the problem is that Chen Xi's current spending is too big. Not only did he allocate troops and generals to Yuan Shao, but he also supported them with the latest high-end technologies of the Mohist school. This made Guo Tu very uneasy.
Chen Xi's generosity exceeded their expectations, which meant that the difficulties encountered by the Yuan family were also likely to exceed their expectations. This was not good news.
They didn't believe that Chen Xi, who was prepared for a rainy day, would do something meaningless.
"We now have dozens of generals, 40,000 elite troops, and Gao Lan's elite heavy infantry. Isn't this enough? Even if we add Shen Pei and the others, it's not enough?"
Yuan Shao was a little confused. Although he had channels to communicate with the outside world, most of the time the information he knew was no different from that of ordinary people.
After all, his identity prevents him from having too much contact with the outside world. In his memory, such troops are almost as powerful as the scattered armies during the Hulao Pass period and the Northern Frontier period.
It's not like he hasn't participated in the Battle of Northern Frontier before. Even if times are changing, an army of this size wouldn't depreciate so quickly.
Especially since this is just the beginning. Once he has established a firm foothold there, he will be able to mass-produce middle and lower-level officers. No matter how you look at it, he should be able to snowball quickly and grow.
And what we should be facing are just the Roman barbarians. Are these barbarians really that difficult to defeat?
"Let me put it this way, what you see now is all an illusion. The current intensity is not even a warm-up for the imperial war." Guo Tu couldn't help but say with some despair.
He knew that Yuan Shao's news would be delayed, but he didn't expect it to be so delayed.
"Once Rome really mobilizes, we will be killed with so few people. To be honest, we have to win over some noble families to unite, otherwise it will be really difficult!"
Guo Tu recalled the war reports between Parthia and the Roman Empire and couldn't help shaking his head.
Although Rome could not possibly field an army of that size again, a few Eagle Flag Legions and a group of Barbarian Legions would be enough to destroy the forces they had at hand.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu with some suspicion. He suspected that Guo Tu was bluffing him.
"It's very exaggerated. You will understand it later anyway." Guo Tu defended very weakly.
"In my opinion, without 300,000 pairs of talents and so many of our elite troops, the war would simply be a warm-up."
Guo Tu then gave Yuan Shao a brief account of the military forces deployed by the Northern and Southern Gui, as well as the military forces deployed during the decisive battle between Parthia and Rome.
"Hiss~" Yuan Shao couldn't help but take a breath.
He didn't expect that the development in recent years has been so fast that the Guards are everywhere. Looking at the Guards and the double-talented mixed legion in his hands, he suddenly felt that they were not so attractive.
Yuan Shao didn't care about the decisive battle between Parthia and Rome. After all, the decisive battle was too far away and there was no point in thinking about it. What they should consider now is the countermeasures of Rome's conventional military deployment.
After absorbing the legacy of Parthia, Rome will inevitably send troops, and Yuan Shao now has a very clear understanding of this.
Heavy pressure instantly fell on Yuan Shao, considering the scale of the war that Ganasi had launched against Parthia.
He estimated that it would be difficult to win the battle with the limited troops he had.
He has no shortage of generals, and Yang Lin is the commander of a large army, able to perfectly bring out the strength of 40,000 or even more people.
"Rome? Haha!" Yuan Shao suddenly laughed. What he lacked was pressure. Now Rome brought him suffocating pressure, so he would also bring surprises to Rome.
He wanted to see what kind of opponent the Roman Empire was.
Looking at Yuan Shao who was becoming more and more heroic, Guo Tu lowered his head. This was why he followed Yuan Shao. No matter what kind of pressure he was under, it could not crush Yuan Shao.
…
"Zichuan, with so many people leaving now, the country will be very empty, right?" Guo Jia looked at the information in his hand with a headache.
Although the population of the Han Dynasty was not small, the problem was that with the first batch of more than a dozen aristocratic families leaving at once, a lot of people would be taken away, which was around tens of millions. Many places might be emptied in an instant.
Recently, the Government Affairs Department has been working overtime to make adjustments and redeployments.
It’s like the economic system can circulate countless amounts of money, but if a portion of it is withdrawn during the circulation process, it may cause the system to collapse in an instant.
It is still the same now. These are just the first batch of aristocratic families. When those smaller aristocratic families follow suit, I am afraid that there will be even greater trouble.
Chen Xi also looked helpless. Some things you expected, but they are still very troublesome when you try to deal with them.
There is not enough to go around in Central Asia. Chen Xi is very clear about this. If there were no monster like Yuan Shao lurking there, Central Asia would definitely be a big piece of cake for all the major families.
There is a vast expanse of land. Excluding Chen, Xun, Sima and Yuan, there are less than ten powerful families left, plus a dozen aristocratic family alliances. On average, each group can get more than 500,000 or even more than 800,000 square kilometers of vast land.
If they eat it, they will die of fullness.
It can be said that they are already extremely wealthy, much richer than when their ancestors were eight hundred princes. The problem is that with Yuan Shao squatting in Eastern Europe, it would be strange if other wealthy families could enjoy the benefits.
If a Husky mixes into a group of German Shepherds and becomes the leader, then either everyone will go crazy or everyone will force the Husky to step down.
But it is very unrealistic to bring the Yuan family down, and given the current situation, the Han Dynasty will definitely not allow it. So there is only one choice, and that is for everyone to go crazy together.
When the coalition of princes was formed, Yuan Shao quietly began to gather the troops from other princes.
If Yuan Shao really waits until he is defeated by Rome, it would be strange if he does not start to eat the surrounding noble families.
But in other words, if Yuan Shao could devour the surrounding aristocratic groups while dealing with Rome, then these aristocratic groups would not have much value in existence.
Chen Xi would not care about the big fish eating the small fish. Anyway, he fulfilled his promise and exchanged the land outside with these noble families for the domestic land.
It did allow these noble families to surpass their ancestors, but if they failed to maintain their status, then it would not be Chen Xi's fault.
Moreover, Chen Xi looked at another piece of intelligence in his hand and felt that it would be very difficult for Yuan Shao to annex the surrounding aristocratic families.
Not to mention anything else, the is enough to make Chen Xi look forward to it.
Is it the local Yuan Shao who is more powerful, or is it the Tian Khan who came from across time who can reproduce his own style?
However, Chen Xi found it quite difficult. After all, compared with others, this time's Tian Khan started with hell difficulty.
First, all the heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties were taken away, and most of them were still working for the Han Dynasty. Then, there was no way to rely on the power of the Li family, because the current head of the Li family was Li Yuanji. Li Jiancheng also chose to give up inheriting the family and go out to fight on his own.
No money, no people, and no territory. This is Li Shimin's biggest trouble now. He also has an elder brother who is eyeing him closely, and a lot of competitors who have suddenly appeared.
Not to mention the Parthian generals and officers, who had experienced the war of annihilation and were almost fully trained, while Li Shimin had never been to the battlefield.
In addition, there are Ardashir, Temujin, Kublai Khan, Murong Ke, Liu Chan, Sun Quan, Cao Ang, Yuan Tan who has Yuan Shao as his backer, and Wu Zhao who has quietly formed a women's alliance...
Moreover, Chen Xi felt that since Emperor Tang and Genghis Khan had both appeared, who knows whether Emperor Song or Emperor Ming would appear in this place where poisons are bred. That would be quite fun to watch.
Of course, Chen Xi is most optimistic about Li Shimin and Liu Chan at the moment.
Temujin and Kublai Khan were doomed to die. They were branded as remnants of the Northern Huns, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated. However, he wanted to keep them around to train these young men.
There is no doubt about Li Shimin's ability. Even if it was a hellish start, Chen Xi felt that he still had some chances. As for Liu Chan, it was definitely because of the surname Liu.
In those days, Liu was the royal surname. Chen Xi suspected that Liu Ying would not give up on killing Yuan Shao, but would just change from assassination to replacement. As long as Liu Chan could replace Yuan Shao's position, Yuan Shao would lose his value.
A person who has lost his value, Chen Xi and Guo Hao are happy to give him to Liu Ying to vent their anger.
Speaking of these young people, the ones with the most experience are Liu Chan and Sun Quan. One participated in the naval war, and the other participated in the imperial .
It can be said that both of them have gained a lot of experience. In history, they did not have many opportunities to hone their skills, nor did they have the cost of trial and error. However, in this world, they have sufficient capital to a certain extent, which makes Chen Xi very interested in seeing the final outcome of this battle of raising insects.
Even at the end of history, there is no definitive conclusion about the strength of these people. Although it is not very fair now, we can still see the style of everyone.
For Chen Xi now, this is more interesting than the drama in the theater.
"Keep working. After dealing with this batch, I have to find some reinforcements for the Yuan family. Rome is not an easy opponent to deal with!" Chen Xi said meaningfully.
"Who do you plan to send? Yang Lin under Yuan Shao is already a very mature commander of a large army." Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and showed interest.
"Would you like to guess? Maybe you can't think of it?" Chen Xi curled the corner of his mouth and said to Guo Jia.
"If you two have any extra energy, hurry up and deal with the documents!" Jia Xu slapped the table, somewhat dissatisfied with Guo Jia and Chen Xi's slacking off.
The most important thing is that he was slacking off without calling him. What kind of traitorous behavior is this?
But Jia Xu was in a lot of trouble, since his subordinates discovered that if they put the three of them who were slacking off together, they would form a chain of suspicion and would not be able to work properly.
The three of them seemed to be tied together, chained together in this government office.
The most important thing is that the three of them really cannot trust each other's integrity in this kind of thing.
"Wenhe, why don't you come and guess? We'll bet on a pile of documents! Whoever loses will deal with it." Chen Xi happily picked up a cup of tea and took a sip with relish. He was already prepared for a big pit.
"My list has been drawn up!" Chen Xi shook the list on the table. He did not lie, but he still needed to talk to these people.
"Huangfu Song!" Jia Xu pointed out a name, then used his mental power to place a stack of documents in the middle of the place.
Chen Xi's eyes twitched and he nodded.
Huangfu Song really needs to be sent out. What the Yuan family lacks most is not anything else but a master of military training. And currently, apart from the God of War in the Han Dynasty, only Huangfu Song is capable of having two talents.
When combined with Yuan Shao's talent as a monarch who trains generals, the effect will definitely be very good. Moreover, Huangfu Song's ability is also trustworthy. In case Yuan Shao fails, he can directly pull up the surrounding aristocratic families to leave enough buffer time for the Han Dynasty.
"Zhu Jun! Lu Zhi!" Guo Jia also smiled and placed two piles of documents in the middle of the place.
Chen Xi was depressed this time. If Huangfu Song could still think that it was because of military training, then these two people should not have been guessed by Guo Jia at all.
Jia Xu also glanced sideways, tilted his head a little and thought for a moment before reacting.
"Don't think your brilliant plan will escape my eyes!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
Yes, it was a strange strategy. Chen Xi also rarely tried this.
In Central Asia, although each country is fighting on its own, it would be helpful if three central chess pieces were planted in advance for coordination.
What if Rome has some loopholes or something? Can't we immediately raise an army to attack Rome?
Just like when the undefeated Trajan broke into Ctesiphon and directly dealt a heavy blow to the will of the Parthian Empire.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared, and these three people cooperate with each other very well.
Chen Xi once suspected that there was some special bond between the three of them, just like the combination of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, and Cao Cao and Xun Yu.
