Chapter 3231: The Spreading Front(2/2)
If Cao Cao captures Beigui, he will at least get the Indus Valley and part of the essence of the upper reaches of the Ganges. These areas together are much smaller than the current Kushan, but with the farming capabilities of the Han Dynasty, they can be piled up.
A Kushan population is not impossible.
It can be said that when Cao Cao attacked Beigui, he gnawed the hardest bones, and what he finally got was the biggest piece of meat. This part of the territory was enough for Cao Cao to support an empire with a population of 30 to 40 million people, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
As long as Cao Cao is not stupid, no one from the north will be able to invade by then. The only thing that needs to be defended is the south. However, what is there in the south? The buffer zone of the three families of Chen, Xun and Sima, and the grain-producing areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River.
In other words, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are no enemies around.
It can be said that compared to the stability of the foundation, the Yuan family and the Sun family are completely inferior to Cao Cao. It is even possible that the Han Dynasty will collapse, and the Cao family who is squatting here is still alive. After all, there is no shortage of food here, as long as there is no shortage of food.
If you are stupid enough to impose heavy taxes, you can still survive even if you are overstaffed.
This is a place where the Yuan family and the Sun family have no way to compete with it. Cao Cao's future fiefdom has the advantage of being surrounded by dangerous mountains and rivers.
But what happens next? If Cao Cao's feudal kingdom is here, how can it continue to expand? Or to put it further, Cao Cao may have an enterprising spirit, and Cao Ang may also have it, but what about their descendants? In this environment, they
Will you still have the ambition to make progress?
You must know that when Yuan Tan got the two fifty-year strategies written by Xu You, he was already ready to face the Roman Empire. As for Cao Cao, after taking over this side, where can Cao Cao expand? No more
, the Cao family has reached that point and has no direction to expand.
"After you have conquered Guishang, you have no direction to expand. You are surrounded by the Han Dynasty's fiefdom, and during the Yuanfeng Dynasty and the next dynasty, you have no way to take action. The gap period of at least 40 years is over.
What else can you do?" Xun Chen looked at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu said with great majesty.
Cheng Yu's face looked very ugly at this moment. Cheng Yu hadn't noticed this before, but now he had to admit that Xun Chen was right. After defeating Guishang, Cao's power had no direction to expand.
"Think about it carefully. The time you came out was too short. You only focused on strengthening yourself, but you have never thought about what you will do after you become strong." Xun Chen looked at the four people present and said with great solemnity.
"Are you here just to explain this matter?"
Xun Yu will not be easily fooled by Xun Chen. The wise men of the Xun family have been fighting for more than ten years, and no one knows who is who.
"It's not that we are enemies of Rome, but that place is too close to Rome and too far from the Central Plains, so we have no choice but to rely on ourselves." Xun Chen sat up straight and looked at Xun Yu and said, his eyes as calm as water.
Xun Chen and Xu You knew early on that Rome would definitely find trouble with the Yuan family, and what was even worse was that under the current situation, the Yuan family had no way to take advantage of Rome. It could be said that the emergence of Huangfu Song was the last step that the Han Dynasty could give Yuan.
The biggest support of the family is that even in the future, given the distance between the Han Dynasty and Rome, it is unlikely that the two sides will have a large-scale conflict.
However, this is for the Han Dynasty, and for the Yuan family, the Central Plains is too far away, and Rome is too close, and it is not the Yuan family's hobby to be humble to Rome, so there is only one choice.
——A gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years.
When I get through this, I will settle the accounts with you in Rome. But before that, I will spend ten years or more to connect people and get people on board.
It is true that the Han Dynasty will not attack Rome because of the short distance, but when we, the front line formed by aristocratic families, grow up and the benefits are sufficient, we will open a road with Rome from Northern Europe to Eastern Europe, then to Central Asia, West Asia, and then extend to
