I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 827, The Fall of the Empire
Xu Wei replied to the Roman Emperor, and sent Liu He as an envoy to the Roman Empire, asking Liu He to find a way to push the Roman Empire to open the waterway between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, paving the way for subsequent large-scale commodities to enter the Roman Empire!
It is a great thing for Dagan to become their commodity market, the only trouble is that this channel is a bit too far!
At the same time, the news of the Roman Empire began to spread widely throughout the Ji, and it became a hot spot among the great maritime merchants. They already knew about the existence of this empire, but because of the obstruction of the Parthian Empire, the great Maritime merchants have always had trouble going to the Roman Empire.

But now Zhen Xing came back from the legendary city of Rome, and brought a letter from the Roman emperor, which means that they are going to start establishing diplomatic relations with the Romans, especially when these big businessmen know that the Roman Empire has The great empire with a population of tens of millions is even more excited. If the people of the Roman Empire are like the people of Dagan, if they buy a piece of silk a year, they want 3000-4000 million pieces of silk a year. How big is it? a market!Enough for all of them to be a textile mill for three years.

As a result, the big-time maritime merchants started to make connections with Zhen Xing one after another, wanting to get a route to the Roman Empire from Zhen Xing!
Because according to their experience, the sooner the fleet that goes to Rome earns more, the first sea ship to Rome can even earn hundreds of times the profit, and this kind of head soup is only once, the more sea ships that go later The lower the profit, so time is money!
Zhen Xing didn't hide it. After all, the imperial court's embassy ship was about to set off, and it was useless to hide it. Moreover, he didn't want to continue going to sea, so he told the sea merchants about the route to Rome!
Then there were dozens of ships filled with silk, sugar, porcelain, and tea in the whole Dagan and headed towards the Roman Empire!

But Rome, the new hotspot, only lasted less than half a year in Jidu, and the new hotspot replaced Rome.

And this hotspot is the Guishuang Empire from the Western Regions!
The Guishuang Empire and Liu Bei fought two major battles, and they were defeated in both battles. More than 10 soldiers were killed and captured in the army!

The two defeats seriously injured the Guishuang Empire, and they never dared to attack Liu Bei again, and because of Liu Bei's lack of cavalry, the two sides were in a stalemate.

But Liu Bei didn't want to stop like this. He tried his best to buy war horses, form cavalry, and wanted to annex the Guishuang Empire completely.

The top officials of the Guishuang Empire also understood Liu Bei's idea. On the one hand, they blocked the source of Liu Bei's horses, and on the other hand, they tried to recruit troops to restore their strength. They also wanted to eliminate Liu Bei, the invader.

But when the two sides were fighting, Duan Peng and the others in the Western Regions were not idle. They took advantage of the war in the Guishuang Empire to absorb a large number of refugees to develop their own territory. Even Zhang Xiu, the new governor of the Western Regions, also tried to absorb them. He raised some population to enrich the cities under his rule.

In less than three years, Zhang Xiu and Duan Peng absorbed millions of people from Guishuang, and the people in the northwest of Guishuang were almost sucked dry by the Western Regions.

At that time, when Guishuang was dealing with Liu Bei, the great enemy, he dared not speak out about this situation, but when they wanted to restore the country after the truce with Liu Bei, it was difficult to bear such a thing.

The Guishuang Empire was originally the one with the smallest population and the weakest strength among the four great empires. Their population at this time was only over 1100 million. Because of the war with Liu Bei, they lost almost [-]% of their population, and now Zhang Xiu and the others Some have annexed more than [-]% of their population.

This makes it difficult for Guishuang's high-level executives to tolerate such things. Of course, they also understand the strength of Daqian, and they know that their archenemy Liu Bei was once a defeat of Dagan's subordinates. Guishuang's high-level executives don't want to face Liu Bei Sometimes it also provokes a powerful enemy.

At the beginning, the emperor of Guishuang sent envoys to ask Zhang Xiu and the others to return the population!
But how could Zhang Xiu and the others return it, not to mention that Guishuang was the defeated general of their defeated general Liu Bei. Fighting, taking advantage of the cavalry and being defeated by Liu Bei, is simply a waste!
After Duan Peng's words spread to Guishuang, the entire Guishuang high-level was furious. They no longer cared about any powerful Dagan, but tried to get an army of 10, trying to defeat Dagan and annex the Western Regions to increase the power of your country.

As for the war, how could Zhang Xiu and Duan Peng be afraid? They all united and formed an army of 3 people to fight the Guishuang people!
The armies of both sides meet in Dawan!

Then the war was about to break out, and Zhang Xiu bombarded Guishuang's army with hundreds of artillery pieces. However, Guishuang soldiers also had experience in dealing with artillery.

It's a pity that the Guishuang people didn't expect that Duan Ou and the others had a heavy cavalry with both horses and horses in armor!
When the dispersal of the Guishuang people met the heavy cavalry with large iron armor, the 10 army was directly overwhelmed by the heavy cavalry, and even the emperor of the Guishuang people died on the battlefield. A few of the 10 troops of the Guishuang people escaped Born, the rest were all captured by Zhang Xiu and the others.

This war directly collapsed the Guishuang Empire. After the death of the emperor, the entire Guishuang Empire was completely split into several forces.

But Zhang Xiu and the others took advantage of their power and led their army directly into Guishuang.

When Liu Bei in the south of Tianzhu heard the news, he would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately led an army of 30 to the northern expedition to Guishuang!
In this way, the news about the Guishuang Empire has occupied the Daqian hotspot for more than three years. The good people even hang up the areas of the Guishuang Empire to see which areas are occupied by them and which areas are annexed by Liu Bei.

If the news of being annexed by them comes out, there will be heated discussions in the whole city. If it is occupied by Liu Bei, everyone will yell at Liu Bei, thinking that Liu Bei is a hypocrite who takes advantage of others. If they didn't kill the emperor of Guishuang people, How could he have such an opportunity to occupy Guishuang's land.

Especially in the past half a year, everyone can clearly see from the map that Liu Bei occupies more territory than them!It made Liu Bei's reputation fall to the bottom. Everyone called Liu Bei a hypocrite, a real villain, who only knows how to take advantage of it!

This is also impossible. Liu Bei can send an army of 30 to capture Guishuang, but Zhang Xiu and the others are trying their best to recruit 5 people, and it is difficult to recruit the Western Regions with a population of only 200 million.It is no match for Liu Bei, who has a population of tens of millions.
