Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 595 It is impossible for a big man to be so rich
end of March,
Along the Euphrates River.

Paris, governor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, stood on a chariot tens of meters high, looking at the camp of the Han army on the other side of the river.

They were in the north of the country of Armenia, while the Han army faced each other across the river, and in the south, with the city of Medes behind.

Under Barris's command, there are fifty legions gathered from the country, a total of 60 troops.

And on the plain west of Taixifeng, there is an army of 60 from the Allied Forces of Ten Nations.

The two armies encircled from the north and west, with a total of 120 million people.

Barris never thought that he would lose this battle.

He just thought about how long it would take to win after he opened the station.

but……

The news came in the first month that Fars fell, more than [-] Fars were slaughtered, and the leader of the rebellion was beheaded by Xu Huang on the spot.

Half a month later, Zhang Liao beheaded 10,000+ people, recruited nearly 40 laborers, and issued them as slaves.

Those soft-boned Da Yuezhi people were willing to be slaves, and they were unwilling to rise up to resist, which made Barris very angry.

As for the later Ardashir I, the guy who claimed to found the Persian dynasty after the uprising, he must be surrounded by Persis at this moment.

Now above the Red Sea is the place where the navy of the Roman Empire and the navy of the Han Empire are confronting each other.

The Romans could no longer pass through the sea to contact Ardashir I of Persis.

However, Barris estimated that with the strength of the Han army, it could be as short as one month and as long as three months.

The Persian army of Ardashir I will be wiped out by the Han army.

Before that, he, Barris, had to defeat the Han army commander called Pang Tong.

"Your Excellency, the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations were repulsed again. They were unable to cross the border of our Roman Empire and enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, which is a hundred miles west of Taixifeng."

"How many times did you fail this month?" Barris asked without looking back.

"This is the sixth time. They have lost troops and lost their generals. They have been attacking for more than two months. The casualties of the ten-nation coalition force are around 20. If their casualties exceed half, Governor, I am worried that they will not be able to hold on and take the initiative to withdraw their troops."

"Withdraw at this time, do the ten countries want to become the wrath of the Han Empire like the Yuezhi people and the Anxi people?"

"Men build roads and grow food for the Han Empire; women...serve the soldiers of the Han Empire?"

Barris sneered.

"If they want to keep their country's territory, they can only fight to the death."

"Then, Your Excellency Governor, when shall we send troops?"

"What's the hurry?"

"But Your Excellency Governor, the Han army has successively deployed reinforcements from the Western Regions and Tiannan these days. Wei Yan in Tiannan has mobilized 20 troops to go north. At the moment, there are at least 75 Han troops gathered in the east. We still have to rule out this." They fought with the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations for more than two months, with [-] casualties."

"So, there are 75 soldiers, and we only have 60 here. How can we defeat the Han army?"

Barris narrowed his eyes, "Wait."

The group of legion commanders behind them were immediately blown away.

"Is this still waiting?"

"Baris, do you want to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive at the battlefield in person to resolve this war?"

Barris turned back with a smile, "If His Majesty's arrival is enough to boost morale, then I am naturally willing."

"But now, the Han army consumes innumerable grains every day in the big camp. We have sea fish from the Mediterranean Sea to supplement our meat, and we have a border spanning three states where we can grow wheat. We don't have to worry about food and clothing. , can be supplied for a year or two, but the Han army in front of us is definitely not good.”

"So we only need to delay them until they die, and send troops to attack. Wouldn't it be easy to defeat them?"

The legion commanders behind him were speechless, as if they made sense.

"Moreover, the Senate has already sent me a letter. They have launched a nationwide conscription. Now the general of our empire, Luvas, is personally commanding an army of one million in the country. The newly formed one hundred legions are rushing to the front line."

"This battle, why are we in a hurry? The one who is in a hurry should be the big Han army in front of us."

"Oh, one hundred legions, plus us, that's 150 legions. Is our Roman Empire going to conquer the Western Regions?"

The corner of Barris's mouth raised slightly, "It's not impossible to conquer the Western Regions, but the first step is to capture the Parthian Empire that has been fighting with us for 100 years."

"Since this old rival has been wiped out, it's best to leave their fertile territory to our Roman Empire."

"Your Excellency, look across the river."

"Ok?"

Paris heard the reputation, and at a glance, he saw hundreds of horse-drawn carriages driving towards the camp of the Han army. On the carriages, there was no cover, half of mutton and half of beef, just like this. In front of the commander-in-chief, sent towards the camp.

There are also those thick and heavy cloth bags, in which some white and flowery rice is spilled from time to time.

"Didn't the Han army lose their flesh a few days ago?" A commander glanced at Barris suspiciously.

But he saw his own governor's face was full of ecstasy.

"Everyone, this is a strategy of the Han people."

"They're trying to confuse us with the idea that there's no shortage of food."

"They want to tell us that they still have food and can continue to fight, but in fact, they can't hold on anymore, and their soldiers can't hold on anymore either."

"So, with this method, their soldiers will definitely boost their morale in a day or two."

"Send an order to tell the Allied Forces of Ten Nations to retreat fifty miles immediately and not to engage in battle with the Han people in the past few days. After the Han people have finished eating their meat, they will cooperate with us and launch a general offensive."

"Yes."

Three days passed.

The corner of Barris' mouth twitched slightly.

Because the food delivery team of the Han army came again.

This time it was even more exaggerated. More than [-] sheep were driving towards the camp of the Han army right under their noses.

A roasted sheep, with rice and vegetables, is enough for a dozen Han soldiers to eat. These [-] sheep, even if they eat meat every meal, are enough for the Han people to eat for several days...

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it is impossible for a big man to be so rich."

Barris was mired in deep self-doubt.

Three more days passed.

What did he see?
A large number of war horses, more than 20 war horses.

There are also thousands of carts of fresh sea fish dragged by carts, and they are just sent to the camp of the Han army.

co-authored...

The Han army is now sending meat once every three days, and they still eat differently every time. The recipes are not the same?
Barris was dumbfounded.

The Han people are really so rich!

He took a look at the delicious white bread that had just been delivered to him, and immediately it became stale.
