Chapter 669 The Great Wall of Persia

"Zhao Shen, learn how to use military force with General Murong Han. Let me leave me and have something to give me." Sima Ji left this general who had performed quite well recently, as a small lesson for him.

"King Yan!" After everyone left, Zhao Shen spoke carefully. He didn't know what Sima Ji's purpose was. After all, he was still alive and didn't come in. Now he would just leave himself. Is it a good or a bad thing?

Regardless of the uncertainty on Zhao Shen's face, Sima Ji tilted his head and asked, "Do you have any opinions on being a former army with Murong Han?"

"Murong Han is the younger lady's brother!" Zhao Shen spoke while observing Sima Ji's expression. When he saw King Yan's impatient look, he quickly went straight to the point, "The King of Yan seems to hope that the Mo Jiangduo will learn from General Murong Han."

"Your answer is so appropriate that you really have the style of Confucianism." Sima Ji was obviously not satisfied and said directly without saying anything, "There are many defensive walls similar to the Great Wall on the Persian border. I believe you have heard of this after coming to Sogdian. If you grow up to this defense system, you will understand that you are naturally the Hu people who live in a defensive place. The Great Wall of Persia is not too long, but it is located in a very important area. It is not friendly to my tens of thousands of troops in order to rush forward. After all, I can bring a large number of war horses out in order to rush."

"If you follow Murong Han and don't participate in the war, you have to see how he conquered the Persian Great Wall. You have to look from beginning to end. After that, you will be from the Persian perspective and propose a defensive strategy as your biggest gain in this Western Expedition." Sima Ji glanced at Zhao Shen, who was still unknown, and said lightly, "The Xianbei people can break the Persian Great Wall in this way, and naturally they can deal with the Great Wall of Jin. Of course, they dare not now, and the future is also difficult. However, this possibility exists after all, and I have been thinking about this question in my heart, how big the Great Wall has."

Is the Great Wall effective? This is a very metaphysical question, which is even more metaphysical than the power of a torpedo hit target. Moreover, some dynasties built the Great Wall, while others did not. This concept of not cultivating or not is a national power or a temporary measure. If you want to say how short it counts, you have actually built it. The Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty was just used and immediately ran to the other side to fight.

The northernmost Great Wall was built along the Great Xing'an Mountains in the Jin Dynasty. As for the southernmost Great Wall, it was the Southern Great Wall built by the Ming and Qing dynasties. The main purpose of the Southern Great Wall is naturally to deal with the various ethnic groups in the south. The word suppression will always be before comforting.

So in the eyes of all ethnic groups in the south, don’t think that you were fighting fiercely in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In their eyes, they were all a pair of bastards. The Han and Manchus were not the emperors of our tribe. The distance was the same, and the methods were astonishingly consistent.

What Sima Ji was very dissatisfied with was that the Ming Dynasty had a great attitude towards the south, so how could it be that it would shrink in the north? The Ming Dynasty should not say that the capital was in Beijing, but the emperor guarded the national gates in Luoyang, because the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was south of Hetao. If Luoyang was the capital, it would feel similar to the Jin Dynasty before the confiscation of Hetao.

The Great Wall was useless during the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially after establishing their advantages over the north. Emperor Wu and Zhaoxuan did not build the Great Wall very much, and the Tang Dynasty did not build it very much after destroying the Turks. The one who needed the Great Wall the most was actually the Great Song Dynasty, but with the style of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Great Wall was in hand, Sima Ji was very suspicious of whether it could be used. A dynasty that was reversed by Vietnam was talking nonsense.

"I want to test the role of the Great Wall, but I cannot deliberately anger the Xianbei to detain the pass. It just so happens that there is a Great Wall in Persia. I ask you to bring many Simas with you to record the whole process for me, including the reaction of the Persian defenders, the speed of the aid, and the process of the battle." Sima Ji asked softly after he finished speaking, "I understand."

"Does the King of Yan want to use the blood of the Persians as a backup solution for my Great Jin?" Hearing this, Zhao Shen's young face showed a sudden enlightenment. Our King of Yan still had the same attitude that had never changed before, harming others and benefiting oneself.

"If you understand, go quickly. I will lead the central army westward in three days." Sima Ji seemed to tell a very normal thing. What's wrong with harming others and self-interest? Isn't this the case with the country and the country? The most feared is to harm others and not benefit oneself, and to attract hatred for nothing.

Others can say why India will never surrender before it is dry. Sima Ji used the Persian Great Wall to test the role of this system. Is it not enough to conquer such a technical work in the Great Wall? How could I go if I have no relevant experience? You should know that the Sogdian king has fled to Persia now. Since he has been taken in, it means that Persia already knows that an army of unknown origin has appeared in the East.

Unless the Persian general guarding the border is a stupid pig, he will definitely turn a blind eye to unfamiliar soldiers and horses. In this case, Sima Ji will have a ghost when he hits the wall. Let Murong Han try the firepower first. The plan of the King of Yan is absolutely good. I, Xiao Jin, really has no experience in attacking the Great Wall, only experience in guarding the Great Wall. It is appropriate for Xianbei people to attack the city.

The Sassanian Persia should not have much garrison in the East, because all the Western Asian Empires looked west. They were not expanding eastward, but the purpose of expansion was to attack instead of defense, so that there would be no threat behind it, and then focus on moving towards the Mediterranean. The core area of ​​Sassanian Persia was not in the territory of Iran in later generations, but in the Mesopotamian Basin. Taixifeng was the capital of Sassanian Persia, and its location was probably in Baghdad in later generations.

The Mesopotamia has always been a place where all Persian countries, including the Sassanid dynasty, have to dream of. It can even be said that this place is more like the center of Persian culture than Iran. Losing Persia in the Mesopotamia is equivalent to losing China that lost Henan. In order to regain the Mesopotamia, Persia has long gone to war with the Ottoman Empire, the overlord of the peace world at that time. Unfortunately, Persia is like the Imperial Russia. The Imperial Russia did not regain the Orthodox Constantinople, and Persia failed to destroy the core of Persian culture. However, Iraq in later generations was still dominated by Shiites.

The characteristics of the West Asian civilization that emphasizes the West and neglects the East have saved some trouble for Sima Season. After all, the terrain of the Iranian Plateau is not friendly to his army itself. If the eastern border is full of heavy troops, the difficulty will be more than one level higher. Now the King of Yan prays that his wish to meet the Khitan group of the Gema Map will come true. Even if this wish is a little too much, at least the Persian generals in the Khorasan region will have a little thought of underestimating the enemy in their hearts.

This time, when entering Persia again, it would have to pass through the Khorasan region. If it weren't for the sudden failure of the Persian emperor as the Persian emperor, Persia is almost the same as that of the Jin Dynasty of Empress Jia, Sima Ji should have already fought with the Persian army now. Sogdians should be part of Persia.

Among the troops led by Murong Han, there are the main White Huns who later harassed the Persian Empire. From this point of view, Sima Ji has brought history into its original track, but it has come a little earlier. Moreover, the Persian Empire is at the time of weak sons and strong mothers. Of course, from Sima Ji's perspective, this just shows the fate of heaven.

There are many passages leading to the river in the northeast of Khorasan, and there are no towering foothills like the Caucasus. Therefore, the Persians had to build the linear Great Wall of Gorgen here.

Together with the recruited vassals, Murong Han's troops were actually like Sima Ji, but Murong Han's troops were still traditional soldiers of this era, and they did not have an overwhelming advantage like Sima Ji's army. If you really encounter the Persian army, you can't say that you will win or lose.

It was not until three days later that Sima Ji led the central army to set off. He expected that even if there was a three-day time difference, there would be no situation he could not save. With his understanding of Murong Han, it would not be easy to be defeated within three days.

Just as Sima Ji estimated, after King Sogdian fled into Persia, the Persian nobles and generals here in Khorasan were already alert to the sudden emergence of unknown troops. From King Sogdian, they already knew that this army exceeded 100,000, and in one day they wiped out all the troops and horses that were pieced together by the Eastern vassal states.

Like the Great Jin Dynasty, Persia is also a vassal state. The relationship between Persia and these countries is some of the relationship between the Jin Dynasty and the Western Regions, and even in countries that can radiate to both sides. At the same time, it shows that there are many small countries that surrender to both sides. After Wusun, many countries are like this, and even Wusun also expresses friendship with Persia.

The small country is among two major forces, and it is not surprising that it is hard to move around Qin and Chu. After all, the legacy of ancient Persia is rich.

After taking in the Sogdian King, Persia began to use its own means to estimate the Jin army that had not yet arrived, and of course it also knew the fact that the Jin army was looking for wealth from the ruins and corpses. After all, the commander of this army was collecting wealth that originally belonged to him from the middlemen, and of course all this was also known by the Persians. The nobles and generals of Khorasan had already understood the seriousness of the matter at this time. They had even heard of the false tripod, and they had never known the existence of the tripod.

Regardless of whether the tripod is true or false, strengthening defense is an inevitable choice. While reporting to the capital, the generals of Khorasan began to take defense and guard against the attack of this strange army. They were very smart, and the army led by Murong Han was gradually approaching Khorasan.

There is a defensive fortress every ten to fifty kilometers of the Great Wall of Khurasan. There are thirty along the entire Great Wall. The length of the distance depends on the local terrain and population. This is similar to the Great Wall of the Jin Dynasty. Some places with terrain themselves naturally do not need too many soldiers to defend.

The drums of the army became louder and louder, and the camp tent began to disappear. At the same time, dense soldiers began to appear outside the Persian Great Wall.
