The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 75 presents a map of the world, wanting to enter the western world and expand the territory for the great Han?
"Marquis Shenwu, are you serious about saying this? There are actually three powerful countries in this world that are not inferior to the big man, and even the world is vast, and the big man just occupies the tip of the iceberg?"

In the main hall, Liu Hong and all the civil and military personnel heard Liu Yu talking about the world map, but the world structure was shocked.

You know, the Great Han Dynasty has always been the center of the universe and the world in the hearts of the people of the Great Han Dynasty.

The big man is the kingdom of heaven!

The rest are all wild and small countries!

But now, Liu Yu said, the world is vast, and the big man is only at the tip of the iceberg?
"Return to Your Majesty, all ministers can come and have a look!"

Liu Yu didn't hesitate immediately, and unfolded this world map, which was the size of a house, in the empty space of the main hall.

Liu Hong and a group of civil and military officials all surrounded him.

What came into view was a huge map.

In the east of the map near the sea is the Han Empire.Further east across the sea, it is a country with a good life.

To the north is the grassland, marked with Xianbei, Dingling and other tribes.

To the south of the Han Dynasty, there are Nanyue, Minyue, and Yelang.

To the west of the Han Dynasty, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions, Kangju Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom, Guishuang Empire, Alan Kingdom, Parthian Empire, and the vast Roman Empire.

Even, in the south of the Roman Empire, there is a huge continent.

In the boundless sea area around the entire land map, the words "the sea area is unknown, there may be a new continent" are marked.

The world map Liu Yu took out is not a complete global map of later generations, but a map of Asia, Europe and Africa, which is sufficient.

"This... this, on the world map, the land of the Great Han is so small, and the territory of the Great Qin and Great Xia is so huge?"

Cai Zhonglang and Cai Yong stared at the world map, and couldn't help exclaiming.

In fact, not only Cai Yong was shocked, but all civil and military personnel were also shocked.

It is now the end of the Han Dynasty.

After 400 years of development, the Han Dynasty is not as ignorant of the world outside the Han Dynasty as it was during the Qin Shihuang period.

In fact, the Han Dynasty had exchanges with the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Guishuang Empire.

However, the name of the Roman Empire by the Han Dynasty is not the Roman Empire and the Guishuang Empire, but the Daqin and Daxia.

Zhang Qian opened the door of Dahan to the western world.

Only then did the big man realize that there is still a vast world in the west.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once married Liu Xijun, the daughter of the clan, to Mo Kun, King of Wusun, and sent envoys to do business with the Anxi Kingdom.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, an uprising broke out in Rome. One of the three giants of Rome attacked the Parthia Empire. A defeated Roman army fled eastward to the Western Regions. This army joined the Huns. In the war between Chen Tang and the Huns Zhizhi Shanyu In the middle, he was captured by Chen Tang.

This Roman army was placed in Liqian by the Han Dynasty.

In 166 AD, during the reign of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, a Roman envoy arrived in Rinan County of the Han Dynasty by boat, offered gifts and asked to see the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Except for the big Han, they all know that there is a country, but Liu Hong and the civil and military officials have no concept of how big it is.

Even, they all subconsciously thought that it was a land of barbarians, a country of barbarians, and the great Han was the kingdom of heaven.

However, on the current map, it is clearly shown that the world map is so big that the big man is only in a small area in the east.

And to the west, the Guishuang Empire, the Parthia Empire, and the Roman Empire are no smaller than the Dahan in terms of territory?
"How is this possible? Marquis Shenwu, is this map accurate?"

Liu Hong suddenly looked a little ugly and couldn't accept it, so he asked Liu Yu.

Hearing Liu Hong's question, all civil and military officials looked at Liu Yu in unison.

Liu Yu didn't dare to neglect, and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is what I will spend a lot of money to find out from the hands of Westerners. Moreover, I still inquired from many aspects, and finally compared it with the drawing. It is accurate."

"It's like the Roman Empire, which is actually very powerful. Its area looks about the same as my big man, but its population is 2000 million."

"What? The population of the Roman Empire was 2000 million?"

Liu Yu's words immediately set off huge waves, causing the expressions of Liu Hong and all the civil and military officials to change instantly.

The population of big Han is large enough and powerful enough. According to statistics not long ago, there are about 6000 to [-] million.

But the Roman Empire actually had a population of 2000 million! !
In ancient times, population was sometimes an important data for comparing power.

The population of the Roman Empire is twice that of the big man, so how can we not let everyone change color.

Liu Yu did not lie.

According to the later British Gibbon, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" is the most authoritative and comprehensive history of the Roman Empire.When the Roman Empire was founded, it had an area of ​​at least 160 million square miles, or more than 414 million square kilometers; a population of 1.2 million, including 2000 million Roman citizens (including their families), and about 5000 million free men and slaves each.

The Roman Empire is definitely strong enough, powerful.

The purpose of Liu Yu taking out the world map is to give Liu Hong and the civil and military officials an impression and a shock.

Let them know that besides the big man, there are powerful enemies and powerful empires. The big man is not the center of the universe, nor the center of the world.

The world is vast, and there is still a vast world in the west, so the eyes should not be limited to the big men.

Seeing the shock of Liu Hong and all the civil and military officials, Liu Yu understood that the shock was enough.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to worry too much. Although these countries have a large area and a large population, they are not strong enough to fight against my big man."

"Just like the Guishuang Empire next to the big man, it was built by the Da Yuezhi. In the period of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu invited the Guishuang Empire to attack the Huns, but the Guishuang Empire was afraid of the prestige of the Huns and was unwilling to send troops. Emperor Wu didn't say anything. , directly ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to beat up the Xiongnu."

"Later, Guishuang defeated several powerful enemies around him, thinking that he could do it again, and wanted to marry me, a big man, a princess, but Ban Chao, who was in the Western Regions, didn't like Guishuang at all, so he didn't report to Chang'an, and directly refused. Furious, he sent [-] elite troops to attack the Western Regions, but Ban Chao led [-] frontier troops to face the Guishuang Empire, and defeated the [-] elites of the Guishuang Empire with the [-] frontier troops. Since then, the Guishuang Empire has been afraid of me."

"So, the Guishuang Empire, in the eyes of the general, is a strong outsider but a dry one!"

"I don't know if your Majesty and all the civil and military personnel still remember the Northern Xiongnu who fled in embarrassment and had no choice but to move westward when they were beaten by my big man?"

In the main hall, Liu Hong and a group of civil and military personnel immediately regained some energy when they heard Liu Yu say that the Guishuang Empire was strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Indeed, they knew about the battle against Ban Chao.

"The northern Huns moved west? What happened to them?"

Liu Hong suddenly became interested and asked Liu Yu.

Under the watchful eyes of all civil and military personnel, Liu Yu cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the northern Huns were forced to move westward by my big man. They were like dogs that lost their homes, and finally reached the northern part of the Roman Empire. Because the Huns had no business to produce, they could only plunder, so conflicts broke out with the Romans without any surprise. War, your Majesty, guess what?"

Liu Yu talked nonsense, but it attracted the attention of Liu Hong and other civil and military officials.

The northern Xiongnu, who were beaten by the Han generals and moved westward in embarrassment, went to the Roman Empire, and a war broke out with the Roman Empire?

Liu Hong looked at the smiling Liu Yu, and his heart skipped a beat.

Liu Yu smiled and said with a smile:
"Returning to Your Majesty, even though the Romans are powerful, they were defeated when they met the Huns. In the end, the Huns settled down next to the powerful Roman Empire, just like the Huns were plundering the Romans in the past. generally."

"So, like the Guishuang Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire, although the country is powerful and has a large population, the generals really don't think much of it."

Liu Yu talked nonsense, and even cited the example of the Northern Huns, which made Liu Hong's eyes brighten up suddenly.

In Liu Yu's narrative.

It seems that the Roman Empire, the Guishuang Empire, and the Anxi Empire, which have a similar area to the Han Dynasty, are already strong outside but weak in the middle, and their military strength is weaker than that of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Hong, who originally aspired to make achievements like the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, looked at the huge map, and suddenly a surge of ambition rose in his heart.

All the civil and military men also came back to their senses, their brows frowned suddenly, and Wang Yun, the imperial envoy, asked Liu Yu aloud:
"What does Marquis Shenwu mean by this? Could it be that he wants to start a war with the outside world? You must know that the people of the Han Dynasty are already in dire straits, and the war will only be borne by the people at home. Marquis Shenwu must not resort to military force!"

Wang Yun spoke first, and said to Liu Yu.

Although Wang Yun is just a small imperial envoy now, he is not afraid of Liu Yu at all.

When the other civil and military officials heard Wang Yun's words, they also said:

"Your Majesty, you must not start a war easily. The Guishuang Empire, the Parthia Empire, and the Roman Empire are all big countries. If you start a war, it will be too heavy a burden for our Han people, and the treasury is not enough to support the war."

"Marquis Shenwu, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan are still threatening the big man, we must not provoke a strong enemy anymore..."

……

A group of civil and military officials sensed what Liu Yu wanted to do, and urged Liu Hong and Liu Yu together.

However, Liu Hong's complexion sank, a little ugly.

I have to say, what Liu Yu said just now, first introduced the world map, let Liu Hong know that the world is not only big, but also the wider West, and these countries are not necessarily stronger than the big Han. An unstoppable ambition surged up.

Conquer the Guishuang Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire!

Expansion of territory!
If he can do it, Liu Hong's achievements will definitely be handed down to future generations, and he is no worse than Qin Huang Han Wu!
But now, all civil servants want to persuade?
Liu Hong's complexion was not good.

Liu Yu, who was standing by the side, saw that Liu Hong's face was not good-looking, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He presented Liu Hong with a world map, and then babbled for a long time, so he had intentions.

Next, he wanted to get the support of the imperial court besides the big man, which is the best.

As long as Liu Hong believes in him and has expectations of him, his status as Liu Yu will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Now, Liu Hong has clearly taken the bait.

Facing the persuasion of a group of civil and military officials, Liu Yu smiled, and smiled at Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, the imperial envoy Wang Yun is indeed right. War will increase the burden on the people. It is not easy for the people of the Han Dynasty. If we start the war again, it will only make the people suffer even more."

"But what if we transfer the disaster of war to the Xianbei, Huns, and Wuhuan people?"

"Huh?" In the main hall, Liu Hong and all the civil and military officials were stunned when they heard Liu Yu's words.

Transfer the disaster of war to the Xianbei, Huns, and Wuhuan people?

"What does Marquis Shenwu mean by this?" Liu Hong's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly raised expectations for Liu Yu, and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, since the Xiongnu who moved westward can withstand the advance of the Romans and settle down, it proves that the strength of the Huns can be fought in the west. If this is the case, why don't we big men enslave the Xianbei, the Huns, The Wuhuan people are attacking the west!"

"In this way, whether it is casualties or consumption, it is all on these Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Huns. What does it have to do with our Han people?"

Liu Yu said to Liu Hong solemnly, and when the words fell, Liu Hong and all the civil and military officials were stunned and looked at Liu Yu in shock.

Enslave the Xianbei, Huns, and Wuhuan, and let the casualties and consumption be added to the three tribes?

"This...how is this possible? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it's just nonsense!"

Cao Song came to his senses first, and directly refuted Liu Yu.

"Shenwuhou, this is too much of a joke. Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan can still gather 40 cavalry, how can they be enslaved!"

Yang Biao also frowned.

Liu Hong was also affected by Liu Yu's words, and couldn't help his heart beat faster. However, after listening to Cao Song and Yang Biao's words, he calmed down again, and said to Liu Yu:
"What do you want to say, Marquis Shenwu?"

In the face of everyone's doubts, Liu Yu did not panic, but handed over to Liu Hong, saying:
"Returning to Your Majesty, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan, the last general didn't pay attention to them."

"In the previous battle, the last general led [-] Beifu soldiers into the hinterland of Xianbei and brought tens of thousands of slaves with him. Even if he was able to stir up chaos in Xianbei, the last general didn't speak big words. This alien race is nothing more than that."

"The final general, please expand the Beifu army. You only need to recruit [-] soldiers from the Beifu army. The final general will have the confidence to defeat and enslave Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan."

"If your majesty and the civil and military officials are worried that the general will be invincible and the threat of alien attacks, the general can repair all the checkpoints in Bingzhou and Youzhou on the border of the Han Dynasty such as Yanmenguan, so that foreigners cannot step into the territory of the Han Dynasty, so there is nothing to worry about. "

"And if the last general can lead the 20 Beifu army to defeat and enslave the three tribes, the last general can send out more than [-] foreign cavalry to His Majesty out of thin air. They will eat beef and mutton on the grassland and drink kumiss. For water, don’t waste a catty of food and a catty of water for the big man, enter the west for the big man, compete with the Guishuang Empire, the Parthia Empire, and the Roman Empire, expand the territory, and make an indelible contribution for the big man!”

In the main hall, Liu Yu was impassioned, and his sonorous and powerful voice resounded.

All the civil and military people in the hall were shocked, and looked at the ambitious Liu Yu with wide eyes.

Liu Hong was also shocked by Liu Yu's plan and handwriting.

Liu Yu actually planned to expand the Beifu army by [-], defeat, smash, and enslave the Xianbei, Huns, and Wuhuan tribes, and then use the alien cavalry to enter the Western world to expand the territory for the Han?
