"Your Majesty's opinion doesn't matter. If the country is destroyed, your Majesty will not live alone." Aldashir said calmly as if he had guessed Atratomi's thoughts in an instant.

Once the Zagros Mountains are opened, Anxizhen will be finished. It is not just that they were looted in Taixifeng and other places in the Two Rivers, but that all valuable areas of the entire country are looted. Once this happens, Anxi will probably have no power to turn over.

That is really equivalent to the Kingdom of Sakura. Just because Taixifeng was defeated, other places are still there. Although it is damaged and the body is still far from death, if the Zagros Mountains are penetrated, then the entire Empire of Sakura will not have to live.

This is also what Aldashir will directly spread out after understanding the situation. If the Zagros Mountains are split, the essence of the western part of the Milan will be fatally threatened by Armenia, and the lifeline in the central part of the Milan will be killed.

Rome really couldn't occupy Rest, but if it was easier to destroy than build, it was obvious that the plan to cut off the Zagros Mountains. How to say, it was essentially about cutting off the last trace of Rest.

After this place is opened, if it is attacked first, it will be the same as before, but if the lifeline in the middle is broken first, it will destroy the production in the middle of the silence.

In this case, if Taixifeng had not been kept, then this time, resting in peace would be dead, and even the kind of death could not be saved. Unlike the fall of the country, if such a thing really happened, it would be basically equivalent to the destruction of the country.

The Zagros Mountains are the barrier of the Rest Empire, not the barrier of the Texisiban, but how to say it, without the Zagros Mountains, Rome opposite the Rest Empire is flat without any obstacles. Although Rome has short legs, no matter how short legs are, it will not even be able to push flat.

Similarly, the reason why Tessifon was defeated several times, the reason why Rest can be rebuilt is that there are several times the land in the east of the Zagros Mountains, as well as Ekebatana, the capital of the Achaemenid dynasty, and even another capital of the former Rest Empire, as well as the elite cities of Rest such as Hekadonbiru.

To put it simply, it is that when Nanjing was defeated as the capital, it could retreat westward and reach the Tianfu of Sichuan and Shu. To put it simply, the situation in Rome is like this, I cut off your retreat and kill your country before plundering it.

Atratomei nodded and said nothing. When she was about to go back, she handed Ardashire the scepter that Vollogis V gave him. This thing was just a symbol. If you want to mobilize troops in the current situation of Rest, you can only rely on strength, not a symbol.

Especially the troops stationed in the Zagros Mountains are not those of the royal family, and this royal staff is even more a symbol.

However, sometimes symbolizing this kind of thing is important, especially for a guy like Ardashir who is preparing to conquer by force or even directly obtaining military power in a way that is equivalent to rebellion.

Even for this country, it is inevitable to be liquidated in the end in the rebellion model. It is very important to have such a symbol of resting royal family. Even if the royal family of this country itself has become a symbol, it is indeed very important.

Watching Ardashir and others leave, Zhuge Liang and others looked thoughtful and rested at this critical moment. When they are fighting for power and profit within, there are indeed capable people working for this country again.

"These two young people will definitely become heroes in the Central Plains." Chen Gong said slowly as he looked at the backs of the two.

"A momentary hero?" Sima Yi sneered, "I think they may not be able to make a fortune in the Central Plains. On the contrary, it is because of Anxi's current situation that makes them stand out. As for whether they will soar into the sky or fall into the mud next, who knows."

Zhuge Liang looked at the backs of Ardashir and Atratomi. He felt that he would see them again soon, and then they would be completely different from now.

"Aldashir is good. I want to save this young man." Shen Pei looked at Ardashir's back. Their old Yuan family now lacks anything. This young man seemed to be very interested in Shen Pei, so he wanted to win over.

"Will you lose in this battle in peace?" Zhuge Liang twitched his mouth. The strategic intentions of both sides were different. Victory and defeat were not about the loss of troops from the enemy and us, but whether the strategic intention was achieved.

Tactical victory is very important to annihilate many enemies, but if the strategic situation cannot be reversed, then tactical victory and defeat have no value at all.

On the road from Chang'an to the Western Regions, a large number of slaves were working hard to build the road. These slaves were the group of people who were brainwashed by Ji Xiang when they came back from the Battle of Northern Xinjiang and felt that they were guilty. Therefore, they worked very hard in their work.

Because of this way of thinking, after the road to the Western Regions was divided into 1,000 sections, the speed of construction was far beyond Cao Cao's imagination. It has to be said that he took the initiative to work and was rushing to work with a whip. There was a very big gap in speed and quality.

Because these slaves worked so hard, Cao Cao had no intention of being harsh. He even gave these slaves extra meals during the Chinese New Year. After all, no one can guarantee that he would kill these slaves, and the next time the slaves would be so obedient.

The current road to the Western Regions, the Longxi section and the Hexi Corridor have been built, and now a group of Qiang people who are wearing pretty well are escorting gifts to Chang'an.

"Elder, what should we do after we go this time? How can we explain to the King of Qiang? Such a big thing happened." A younger Qiang man greeted the older Qiang leader beside him.

"So still explain?" The Qiang elder was extremely big, and there was a ghost explaining.

More than 70 Qiang tribes, after the Ma Chao’s New Year’s Day, the matter was handled two years ago. On the eighth day of the lunar month, more than 70 people went to greet Qiang King Ma Chao, and everyone brought gifts.

Last year, the year was better, especially Cao Cao had a little support for the Qiang people, and began to unify the Qiang people's language, teach Qiang people's official language, change customs, and teach Qiang people to farm.

Although the Qiang people had a very bad farming skills at that time, they could not resist Xun Yu's control of the weather. The scenery was good that year, and the Qiang tribe did not suffer any disaster, so they all felt that they had chosen an excellent Qiang King. As expected, the Qiang King had something to eat.

Of course, last year, more Qiang people came to greet Ma Chao and gave him many gifts. Although Ma Chao didn't need these things, when Qiang people came to give him gifts, Ma Chao also felt that he was shining.

Although Ma Chao actually did nothing in his impression, he was in the bloody battle of the Western Xianbei before the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, thousands of Qiang people died in a battle. Of course, the momentum of thousands of people fighting hundreds of thousands also made more than two thousand guards of Qiang King.

However, the situations after the beginning of last year are a bit complicated for the Qiang people.

First, Guo Si returned to Liangzhou in March and April and sent someone to recruit Liangzhou men to fight in the Western Regions. To be honest, Guo Si said that he had not recruited Qiang people at all.

But, how to say, although the Western Liang Iron Cavalry defeated the Qiang people very badly, the Qiang people admired the Western Liang Iron Cavalry very much. Many barbarian tribes are typical of fearing power but not being virtuous. The combat effectiveness of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry made the Qiang people envious.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the result. Although Guo Si did not want to recruit soldiers like the Qiang people who had no combat power and wanted to mix their rations, he saw that the group of people brought their own weapons, wrapped in sheepskin, and even ran over with dry food to express his desire to continue mingling with them.

Guo Si said that he couldn't hold back his face and kicked them away. Some of them pretended to know themselves. Well, Guo Si didn't know them anyway.

In short, because Guo Si brought not many people and was far away, the Liangzhou man recruited was barely over 4,000, but because he heard that the head of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry recruited soldiers here, and brought his own weapons and dry food to ask for the retention, there were actually one thousand more Qiang cavalry than the Liangzhou man.

Then Guo Si endured the headache and took the Qiang people away. As a result, the Qiang people are still swaying under the Pamia Plateau, and even the barbarians led by Yuan Tan are also swaying there. Both sides are barely climbing to the place where the Xiliang Iron Cavalry lives.

Of course, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and the other two did not bring these miscellaneous soldiers when they sent troops. After all, it was a battle of the empire, and it was a bit embarrassing to bring some garbage, so it would be lost.

As for those men in Liangzhou, the hundreds of unqualified Western Liang cavalry left by Li Jue were trained with the Pamia Plateau. Now they have qualified physical fitness and blood. They have also had two wild thrusts from Central Asia that have emerged from there.

However, they are still quite far away from their dual talents. On the contrary, the hundreds of Xiliang Iron Cavalry who were thrown away by Li Jue on the grounds of failing, have now climbed to the heights that Li Jue and others have climbed, and their will has been sublimated. Simply put, these hundreds of people can be converted into military souls or three talents at any time as long as they give them a superior template.

As for the settled people who have been fooled, there are not more than 20,000 people today, which means that Li Jue still cannot be self-sufficient in this place.

However, it is not a big problem to be unable to be self-sufficient. Next to them are the 36 countries in the Western Regions. No matter whether they are Kangju, Dayuan, or Wusun, they can survive by fighting the autumn wind and protect them with force.

As a Qiang man with a population of two million, more than 5,000 young and strong people escaped. He brought his own weapons and dry food to follow the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which is not a big problem.

However, the next step was the beginning of the trouble. If Guo Si had just brought dozens of people to recruit men in Liangzhou before, he had no interest in the Qiang people. The more than 5,000 Qiang cavalry that ran away were just self-indulgent, which caused it, Guo Si did not want to drive him away.
