Chapter 790

This news is too surprising, the Hun army to the East because of the news of the Roman Empire.

The grassland in the North was very large, and the Xiongnu had a large range of activities.

From west to East, they almost traversed the whole of China.

They got 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 strong strength, compared with the strong men before.

This made it impossible to fight a fragmented Han Dynasty, not to mention an empire larger than the Han Dynasty and with almost the same population.

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

Very simply, the Roman empire grew rapidly under the population explosion, and then invaded the surrounding areas.

Rome was too strong, so they sent out a lot of teams. One team went to the Huns.

When yufro got to know it, he was scared. He had to be afraid that an empire even stronger than a big man would have nowhere to run if he came.

Thinking of this, yufro plans to move some of the tribes here and set up a base here. In case the Roman Empire really comes, they will have a place to retreat.

According to the national documents, they moved eastward not to plunder Youzhou, but to find a place to settle down.

Zhang Yu was shocked, but Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong were even dumbfounded.

"Lord, there is an empire even stronger than us in this extreme West." The talent of the play is astonishing.

Gu Yong took a few more breaths, and then said, "fortunately, they didn't fight now. Otherwise, with the help of our broken man, how can we resist."

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

Three people sit down, doors and windows are closed, soldiers surrounded here, no one can know what they are talking about.

"There is indeed an empire in the Far West, and it is extremely powerful, but don't worry about it. When they come thousands of miles away, logistics is a big problem. The logistics of thousands of miles is enough to drag them down." Zhang Yu said.

Two people naturally understand this truth, just just just too shocked.

"However, they have consciously begun to expand to the outside world, expanding a little bit. I believe that before long, they will be able to compete with us. Even if they can't reach our Central Plains, they may also occupy the land around us. After several generations of development, they will finally have enough strength to invade our Central Plains." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu simply drew some maps to show them the existence of the Roman Empire in the West.

The two men's faces are dignified. They know that Zhang Yu's hypothesis is not unreasonable. If they can't fight now, it doesn't mean they can't fight in the future.

"My efforts to develop overseas places have been able to ensure that our Chinese people will never be destroyed and that our civilization will continue to be passed on. But I absolutely do not hope that our Central Plains will be invaded by foreigners one day." Zhang Yu said.

Both Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong feel that they have a great responsibility. 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 forget about the Roman Empire. They won't fight so fast. It will take at least five years or even ten years. We still have time."

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

"Lord, it's a big hidden danger for the Huns to stay in the north. Once the Huns are short of food, they may go south directly. We must guard against them all the time." Gu Yong said.

Xizhicai also had this worry. Xiongnu was very powerful. They were not afraid to fight. They were afraid to defend every day, which would consume a lot of strength.

"No, let them come, but to negotiate, there must be limits on the number of people coming and the scope of their activities." Zhang Yu said.

"Let them come here, and we can learn more about the Roman Empire from the Huns."

In fact, Zhang Yu is not afraid of Xiongnu now, but the existence of Xiongnu is a great constraint on Zhang Yu's forces.

Zhang Yu's 500000 troops dare not move easily. They must guard Youzhou, otherwise the Huns will attack suddenly and the loss will be too great.

If the army moves southward, it can play a great role. However, Zhang Yu usually sticks to a fixed place for 200000, and only 300000 can move.

And the mobile power can't go out all at once, so in fact Zhang Yu Youzhou can use less troops.

In fact, Zhang Yu has been in a defensive situation in Youzhou.

On the one hand, he defended Xiongnu, on the other hand, he defended Yuan Shao.

After considering with Gu Yong, Xi Zhicai agrees with Zhang Yu's proposal.

"Lord, our army is 500000. The Huns can come over 500000 tribes at most, and the army can't exceed 200000." Said Xi Zhicai.

With 200000 Hun troops and 300000 tribes, this kind of power can't pose much threat to Youzhou.

Maybe Zhang Yu is still not their opponent on the grassland, but if they want to invade, with the defense of Youzhou now, they can only fight head and neck.

At the beginning, more troops were unable to break through Liaodong, but now Zhang Yu's troops are more powerful, so they are not afraid of Xiongnu.

"Well, in this way, in addition to only half a million and their range of activities, they need to give us 20000 war horses, 50000 cattle and 50000 sheep every year." Zhang Yu said again.

Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong are stunned for a moment. Zhang Yu has to blackmail the Xiongnu. You know, the Xiongnu is still powerful. If you really want to compete, they won't lose to Zhang Yu at all.

There are millions of Hun cavalry.

But so what? Did they gather from thousands of miles to fight Zhang Yu?

The Xiongnu had a large territory and scattered over the vast grassland. It would take half a year for millions of troops to attack Zhangyu.

"Lord, the Huns are almost unified and powerful. I'm afraid they won't accept our terms." Said Xi Zhicai.

"If we don't accept it, we'll send troops to harass them on the grassland and stop the trade with them. We have the strength to drive them out of the grassland in the north."

Xi Zhicai doesn't say anything to Gu Yong. Zhang Yu is determined to take the opportunity to blackmail Xiongnu.

They began to help Zhang Yu draft the national documents.

If you don't agree with me, you don't have to come over or type directly.

Zhang Yu is not afraid of Xiongnu. He is afraid that the Roman Empire is developing faster than him.

Xiongnu is not terrible. If that population is scattered in China, it will be nothing.

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