Chapter 793 Fighting Is the Speed of Development

This news is too surprising. The fact that the Huns' army went east was because of news from the Roman Empire.

The grasslands in the north are huge, and of course the range of activities of the Xiongnu is also large.

They run from west to east, almost across the whole of China.

They received news from the Roman Empire on the west side.

At this time, the Roman Empire was at its peak, a unified empire.

The most important thing is that they have a large population and are powerful, comparable to the previous strong men.

This Yu Fuluo couldn't even defeat a divided Han Dynasty, let alone a big empire that was bigger than a big Han and had a population that was almost the same.

This Roman Empire must be stronger and more powerful than in history.

It's very simple. With the population soaring, the Roman Empire also grew rapidly, and then invaded the surrounding area.

Rome was too powerful, so they sent many teams out, and one team went to the Huns.

Yu Fuluo was terrified when he learned about it, and he had to be afraid. If an empire stronger than a big man came, they would have nowhere to run.

Thinking of this, Yuvro planned to move some of the tribes here and build a base here. In case the Roman Empire really came, they would have a place to retreat by then.

It is stated in the national book that they did not move east to plunder Youzhou, but just wanted a place to settle down.

Zhang Yu was shocked when he saw it, while Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong were even more dumbfounded.

"My lord, there is an empire stronger than ours in this far western land." Xi Zhicai was extremely shocked.

Gu Yong even took a few breaths, and then said: "Fortunately, they haven't come to fight now, otherwise how can we resist with our torn apart big guy."

Zhang Yu put away the national documents, and then called Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong into his study.

The three sat down, the doors and windows were closed, and the soldiers surrounded the place, so no one could know what they were talking about.

"There is indeed an empire in the Far West,

And it is extremely powerful, but there is no need to worry. They came thousands of miles away, and logistics is a big problem. The logistics of thousands of miles is enough to drag them down. "Zhang Yu said.

The two of them naturally understood this truth, but they were too shocked just now.

"However, they have consciously begun to expand outwards, expanding a little bit. I believe that they will be able to match us in a short time. Even if they cannot reach our Central Plains, they may occupy the land around us. After several generations of development , and finally have enough power to invade the land of China in our Central Plains." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu simply drew some maps and told them what the Roman Empire in the west looked like.

The faces of the two were solemn, knowing that Zhang Yu's assumption was not unreasonable, and that if they can't fight now, it doesn't mean that they won't be able to fight in the future.

"I have worked hard to develop overseas places, and I have been able to ensure that our Chinese clan will never be destroyed, and the civilization will continue to be passed on, but I absolutely don't want our Central Plains to be invaded by foreigners." Zhang Yu said.

Both Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong feel that they have great responsibilities. What they have to do now is not only to help Zhang Yu unify China, but also to protect the land of China from foreign invasion in the future.

"We can ignore the matter of the Roman Empire. They won't be able to fight so quickly. It will take at least five years, or even ten years. We still have plenty of time."

Zhang Yu continued: "The immediate problem is how to deal with the Xiongnu."

"My lord, letting the Xiongnu in our north is a big hidden danger after all. Once the Xiongnu lacks food, they may directly send troops to the south. We must always guard against them." Gu Yongdao.

Xi Zhicai also had this concern. The Huns are very powerful, and they are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of defending, which will consume a lot of strength.

"No, let them come over, but we need to negotiate, the number of people coming and the scope of their activities must be limited." Zhang Yu said.

"Let them come over, we can learn more about the Roman Empire through the Huns."

In fact, Zhang Yu is not afraid of the Huns now, but the existence of the Huns really greatly restrains Zhang Yu's troops.

Zhang Yu's 500,000-strong army did not dare to move easily, and had to guard Youzhou, otherwise the Huns would suddenly attack and the losses would be too great.

An army of 500,000 troops, if sent south, can be very effective, but Zhang Yu usually sticks to a fixed place with 200,000, and only 300,000 can maneuver.

Moreover, all the mobile forces cannot be dispatched at once, so in fact Zhang Yu Youzhou can use relatively few soldiers and horses.

There are too few soldiers and horses that can be used, and Zhang Yu has actually been on the defensive in Youzhou.

While defending the Xiongnu, defending Yuan Shao.

Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong agreed to Zhang Yu's proposal after some consideration.

"My lord, we have an army of 500,000. The Xiongnu can come from a tribe with a maximum of 500,000, and the army cannot exceed 200,000." Xi Zhicai said.

The 200,000 Huns army, plus the 300,000 tribes, this little force can't pose much threat to Youzhou now.

Maybe Zhang Yu and the others are still not their opponents on the grassland, but if they want to invade, with the current defense of Youzhou, they can only fight badly.

At the beginning, more troops were unable to break through Liaodong. Now that Zhang Yu and the others are stronger, they are naturally less afraid of the Huns.

"Okay, let's go back to them like this. In addition to the 500,000 yuan and the scope of activities, they also need to give us 20,000 horses and 50,000 cattle and sheep each year." Zhang Yu said again.

Xi Zhicai froze with Gu Yong for a moment, Zhang Yu wanted to blackmail the Xiongnu, you must know that the Huns are still powerful, if they really want to compete in strength, they will not lose to Zhang Yu at all.

The cavalry of the Huns existed in millions.

But so what, did they gather from thousands of miles away to fight Zhang Yu?

The Xiongnu had a huge territory, scattered over the vast grasslands. If a million troops were to come and attack Zhang Yu and the others, it would take half a year just to gather troops and horses.

"My lord, the Huns have almost unified and are powerful. I'm afraid they won't accept our terms." Xi Zhicai said.

"If you don't accept it, then we will send troops to harass the grasslands and terminate the trade with them. We have the strength to drive them out of the pastures in the north."

Xi Zhicai has nothing to do with Gu Yong, and Zhang Yu is determined to take the opportunity to blackmail the Huns.

The two began to help Zhang Yu draft the letter of credence.

If you don't agree, you don't have to come, or you can call directly.

Zhang Yu is not afraid of the Huns, what he is afraid of is that the Roman Empire is developing faster than him.

The Huns are not terrible, and it will be nothing if the population is scattered in Huaxia.

But if the Roman Empire develops faster than them, it may not be their opponent in the future.
