...

So this matter is very troublesome. It can be said that Liu Tong doesn't have many solutions to the current predicament in Central Asia.

All plans and strategies, in order to be implemented in reality, require a certain level of capability.

The current predicament facing Central Asia is a rather dire situation. No matter how many plans and strategies are devised, given the limited strength of the region, there are very few tactics that can be implemented.

The number of those who could truly rewrite the power gap between the two sides, or even further plan for post-war arrangements, is pitifully small.

“The strength of the Parliamentary Guard will also increase with the number of people participating in the war. The larger the army, the higher the strength of the auxiliary military spirit. The strength of the enemy is no less than giving all the legions a talent.” Liu Tong rubbed his temples, feeling the most fundamental difference.

It is precisely because of their knowledge of military affairs and understanding of the essence of talent that they feel a slight envy for the existence of the Parliamentary Guard.

The existence of this auxiliary military spirit legion can greatly improve the lower limit of the army, and then allow the army to unleash even greater power.

Considering the continuity of the Military Soul Legion, one can even conclude that the importance of supporting the Military Soul Legion is often higher than that of commanding some large legions.

Even the most skilled commander of a large army is only a temporary hero; the true essence of an empire lies in the military spirit of its legions that can be passed down through generations.

"Is Central Asia really that troublesome?" Si Niang looked at the brown sugar in her hand, tilted her head in confusion, and asked with some curiosity.

"It is indeed quite troublesome. Once the Roman army gets serious, the regular army is no match for them. If we really want to fight them, the Central Asian troops alone are not enough. And this is based on the fact that the Roman legionary command system is not perfect and there are gaps in the coordination of the troops. Otherwise, the Roman army would be much stronger..." It can be said that Liu Tong really felt a sense of helplessness regarding the strength of the Roman army.

Fortunately, their goal in Central Asia was not to confront the Roman army head-on; otherwise, they would have lost a great deal of military strength in order to complete the war.

Although the Han Empire had indeed made considerable progress in military strength during this period, Liu Tong did not want to deploy his troops to the Central Asian battlefield if possible.

The intensity of the battlefield in Central Asia is too high, making it unsuitable for certain legions that need training, at least not in the near future.

When Central Asia descends into chaos and exhibits signs of disorder, that will be the perfect time to train and hone the military.

As for now, this kind of direct battlefield, a head-on clash between each other, apart from causing bloodshed, it's hard to imagine what benefits it could offer that would justify such a huge sacrifice.

Even though I know my thoughts are correct, sometimes only reality can make some people understand what true reality is.

Without experiencing the harsh realities of life, one will always harbor some unrealistic fantasies.

"So, should we withdraw the troops from Central Asia?" Si Niang put down her food and said thoughtfully, "Anyway, the opinions of the court towards the Kushans have been growing stronger lately. Why not further reinforce the troops and intensify the attack on the Kushans? Those annoying guys should disappear as soon as possible." To be honest, the opinions of the court are not that important, at least not to Si Niang.

However, Si Niang was still very happy that she could strike a blow against the Kushan Empire.

In a sense, Si Niang was also a person who was good at remembering things. Several months had passed since the Great Assembly, but she still couldn't forget the Great Assembly of the past, and she couldn't forget the Kushan people who roared in the court.

"Should we send more troops?" Liu Tong rubbed Si Niang's head and shook his head gently, speaking in a mild tone, "The Han Empire has already deployed a large number of troops to the Kushan Empire. If we increase the number of troops, it may restrict development in the rear, which would not be a good choice for Zichuan."

War is war, and development is development. With the war on the front lines still having room for maneuver, Liu Tong did not want to interfere with the normal development in the rear.

"But is this army really enough? I feel it's not enough at all. The enemy claims to have tens of millions of people and a million armored soldiers. Do we have enough troops?" Si Niang counted on her fingers and muttered softly.

Liu Tong did not reply immediately, but looked up at the window and recalled the army that had set out.

Guan Yu's army, which advanced from Jingzhou to the central and southern regions, consisted of nearly twenty legions. Without exception, these legions were all highly skilled and experienced soldiers, and even the truly elite troops accounted for half of them.

In the Chang'an region, in addition to the princess guards who represented her in battle, she also took two elite troops with her.

Meanwhile, in the Pamir Mountains region, or rather, within the territory ruled by Cao Cao, a large army began to march south, slowly probing towards the Kushan Empire.

In the south-central region south of Yizhou, the Yizhou troops, which had already suffered heavy losses, had long since begun to recruit and train new soldiers, and had increased the size and resources of the army.

It can be said that after losing a large amount of land, the entire Yizhou region, from Liu Zhang and the nobles to the soldiers who participated, underwent a change in ideology.

Especially for Liu Zhang and some other powerful families, losing so much land was not just a humiliation, but a responsibility for the loss of land, and this responsibility drove them to take the land back.

As for the soldiers, their pursuit of merit, their desire to change themselves, and their desire to change their class have remained unchanged from beginning to end.

Compared to the orderly advance of the army, the navy faced much more difficulties.

Even with increased investment from the navy and the production of several more Ninghaiji ironclad warships, production has not yet been completed and they have not entered service. Consequently, the navy is still at a disadvantage compared to the Kushan navy.

Aside from strengthening troop training and the training of reserve forces, the naval commanders Meng Kangbu, Gan Ning, and Zhou Yu could do little else.

"As long as that old man Ceci lives, it will be difficult to establish naval superiority. Without the navy's help, the difficulties and harassment faced by coastal areas will continue, and even the idea of ​​using the navy to transport food and reduce food transportation costs will be a pipe dream." Liu Tong's tone was somewhat complex when speaking about this architect of the new era of naval warfare. (End of Chapter)
