Chapter 793 What is 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 set up 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 have come 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 outward, and they will expand 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 Develop, and finally have enough power to invade our Central Plains China." 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.
"My efforts to develop overseas have been able to ensure that our Chinese clan will never be destroyed and our civilization will continue to be passed down. However, I absolutely do not want our Central Plains land to be invaded by foreigners one day." 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 went on to say: "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 march south. We must always guard against them." Gu Yong said.
Xi Zhicai also had this concern, the Huns are very powerful, they are not afraid of fighting, but they are afraid of defending every day, which will consume a lot of strength.
"No, let them come, 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 50 army did not dare to move easily, and had to guard Youzhou, otherwise the Huns would attack suddenly and the losses would be too great.
An army of 50 can be of great use if it is sent south, but Zhang Yu usually sticks to a fixed place with 20, and only 30 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.
Defend the Xiongnu on one side and Yuan Shao on the other.
Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong agreed to Zhang Yu's proposal after some consideration.
"My lord, we have an army of 50. The Xiongnu can come from a tribe with a maximum of 50, and the army cannot exceed 20." Xi Zhicai said.
The 20 Huns army, plus 30 tribes, this power is not able to 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 only 50 yuan and the scope of activities, they also need to give us [-] horses and [-] cattle and sheep each year." Zhang Yu said again.
Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong were stunned for a moment. Zhang Yu wanted to blackmail the Huns. You must know that the Huns are still strong. If they really competed for strength, they would 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 didn't say anything to Gu Yong, Zhang Yu was definitely going to take the opportunity to blackmail the Xiongnu.
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.
