"Five difficulties? Should I choose the difficulty of hell? Dear wise men, please guide me."

Alexander summoned ancient Greek philosophers, including Plato and Aristotle.

Just as every hero has his own characteristics, these sages also have special abilities, and some sages also have the ability of "prophets", similar to Zhang Bin's "premonition" characteristics.

Aristotle and others fell into a brief silence.

In hell mode, maybe it will really send Alexander to hell.

Aristotle said: "Asia Minor is a fertile land for establishing an empire, and there is no need for the king to try his own life. If you occupy Asia Minor, the king will challenge hell with a stronger attitude in the future."

"What my teacher said is reasonable. It is extremely difficult to try first this time."

Alexander agreed with Aristotle.

He is still young and has decades spent conquering the world, and does not need to turn the tide and choose the most difficult hell mode.

The lords from all over Rome, Germany, the United States, and Arab countries also made their own choices.

In Hell mode, there seems to be not many lords who dare to try it unless they are desperate.

Not only ancient China, but other civilizations also had extremely difficult battles.

For example, in the Battle of Constantinople in 1453 AD, Constantine XI, the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire, defended Constantinople, the last city of Byzantine, with thousands of people to death. Facing the offensive of the Ottoman Empire with more than ten times the force, it was already a hell level difficulty.

At this time, if the Ottoman army was assigned to the Battle of Constantinople, the attributes of the Ottoman Empire under the difficulty of hell were increased by 50%. The commander of the Ottoman Empire at that time was still the great Maimaiti II, Maimaiti II also had bronze cannons, siege hammers and trenchers, which was simply a nightmare.

Alexander brought 20,000 people to defend Constantinople, and was surrounded by more than 100,000 Ottoman legions led by Mamaiti II, and would most likely be defeated.

Whether in the Eastern continent or the Western continent, the hell mode is not a joke, it is real hell.

The "Jingkang Battle" that all the princes of the Han Empire participated together before seemed to be considered mild compared to this hell mode of fighting alone.

So much so that from Chu Tian in the East to Alexander in the West, when he was in a strong position, he only dared to choose the fourth difficulty, but not the fifth difficulty.

The fifth difficulty is a life-threatening life. Even if you survive, it does not mean you will win.

At least it is necessary to make sure that the fourth difficulty will not be particularly dangerous, and then a lord dares to choose the fifth difficulty in the future.

The expeditionary forces sent by the Protectorate of Central Asia, Dayuan, and the Western Regions occupied a large city and gained a foothold.

A nobleman from Dayuan held a banquet to entertain Huo'an.

The Western Region Protectorate ruled by Huo'an once occupied the Dayuan Kingdom a few years ago. Huo'an supported many Dayuan nobles. When the Western Region Protectorate army attacked Dayuan Kingdom again, some Dayuan nobles chose to stand on the side of the Western Region Protectorate for their own interests.

At present, the Dayuan Kingdom is jointly controlled by three civilizations (Selju Empire, Kushan Empire, and Han Empire), and three parts of the Fergana Basin where the Dayuan Kingdom is located.

This basin rich in grain, good horses and wine, wants to monopolize any side. At the same time, the Fergana Basin is also an important strategic location.

If the teleportation array of Dayuan Kingdom is occupied, the Western Regions Protectorate will not have to cross the Pamir Mountains at an altitude of several thousand meters again, and will travel thousands of miles from Luntai to expedition to Central and South Asia.

To be precise, Huoan wanted to turn Dayuan into a colony and military base of the Han Empire as one of the springboards for attacking Central and South Asia.

The Fergana Basin feeds millions of people at all.

"The Western Regions Protectorate was forced to withdraw troops from Dayuan and shrink its sphere of influence because of the two or three years ago. Now the Western Regions Protectorate has recovered stability, and Ogedei has attacked Dayuan again. It is time to restore the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate over Dayuan. As the Liang King of the Han Empire, the Western Regions Protectorate, in addition to stabilizing the Western Regions and ensuring that the Western Regions always remains in the territory of the Han Empire, it also needs to achieve something. The Han Empire must at least have a teleportation array in Dayuan to reduce unnecessary trouble in the future. And Meicai, if you help me complete this, your benefits will be unimaginable in the future."

Huo'an turned his back on the guest and sat in the main position, while the noble Mai Cai of Dayuan State was in the lower position.

Meicai was a nobleman from Dayuan who was pro-Han.

"I was able to become one of the powerful nobles of Dayuan from a small tribe, and it was all your help. But since your soldiers withdrew from Dayuan, aristocratic rebellion occurred in Dayuan, killing the king you supported and selecting a new king. Later, Qiu Qu, the king of the Kushan Empire, led a large army to attack Dayuan, attack Dayuan, killing the new king, and supporting a new king. Later, Ogedei led Mongolian and Turkic cavalry to attack Dayuan, once captured the royal city of Dayuan, killed the king set up by the Yuezhi people, and established a new king again."

“…”

Huoan couldn't help frowning after hearing the Dayuan aristocrat Meicai explain the detailed changes in Dayuan during the period when he left.

Dayuan Kingdom is a puppet state. From the first year of the lord to the eleventh year, there were five kings in Dayuan Kingdom. In addition to the old king, four of them were the nobles of Dayuan Kingdom, the Western Regions Protectorate, the Kushan Empire, and the puppets controlled by Ogedei.

There is a saying that Central Asia is buses, and outsiders are often ruled here.

Huo'an was also merciless in his rule here. The size of Dayuan Kingdom was destined to be able to rely on the powerful empires around them. Which empire is more powerful, then which empire can gain control over Dayuan Kingdom.

This is the sadness of a small country.

But even so, the nobles of Dayuan still flattered the powerful empires around like moths to fire, and wanted to take advantage of the power of the empire to ascend the throne of Dayuan.

When Meicai learned that Huo'an's Han Empire expeditionary force was coming, he saw hope of becoming a king.

Huo An also knew that only interests are eternal.

As long as there is a common interest, then you are a brother.

"What are these two?"

Meicai saw two important figures around Huoan, their status was second only to Huoan and Huo Qing brothers and sisters in the Western Regions Protectorate.

"Xu Fengnian, and King Wusun."

"King Wusun?"

Mei Cai knew that before being conquered by the Western Regions Protectorate, the Wusun Kingdom was considered a powerful country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, but he still surrendered to the Western Regions Protectorate.

King Wusun made great contributions during the Han Empire's expeditionary army defeating Temujin and Chagatai, so he had a high status in the Western Regions Protectorate and was also a vassal king who was acquisitive to the princes of the Han Empire.

Military achievements are very important in troubled times, and if you make military achievements, you will gain a status.

"Several adults, Turks and Mongols, they began to withdraw their troops and withdrew from the Dayuan Kingdom!"

Just as Huoan was talking to several nobles of Dayuan who defected to the Western Regions Protectorate, Ogedei announced his withdrawal and left the Fergana Basin.

"What is that guy Ogedei thinking? He and the Kushan Empire compete for control of Dayuan Kingdom for one or two years, with nearly 100,000 casualties. Just give up Dayuan Kingdom easily?"

Huo An's face was low, he was thinking about Ogedei's thoughts.

Ogedei led the Turkic cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry left, and then the Dayuan Kingdom changed from being divided into three parts of the world to two powerful people fighting each other.

Now, the Dayuan Kingdom is only the expeditionary army of the Western Regions Protectorate and the army of the Kushan Empire.

Huo'an's general Ban Chao said: "Maybe, Ogedei wants to give up Dayuan and let us fight with the Kushan Empire, both sides will suffer losses, so he can clean up the mess."

"Maybe this is true. Ogedei is not a reckless man. He can inherit Genghis Khan's position and naturally has his ability. But we can adopt the tactic of quick battle and decisiveness to completely occupy the entire Dayuan Kingdom before Ogedei has time to react. At that time, even if he wants to come out and clean up the mess, he will be helpless."

Ban Chao agreed: "Speed ​​battle and quick decision is indeed a winning strategy, and the so-called "smart war is the most important thing."

"What happened to the war in the north? If the King of Xia is at a disadvantage, then even if we give up Dayuan, we will go to the Central Plains to help."

Huoan asked about the war in the north again.

The marriage between the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Prince of Xia is actually a community of interests. Even if Chu and Tian unify the Han Empire, Huo'an can still retain relatively large real power.

So if Chu Tian encounters a crisis, Huoan will consider using the Western Army to defend Central Asia to support Chu Tian.

However, indulging Ogedei to expand barbaricly in Central Asia was not conducive to the future of the Han Empire.

This requires the Western Regions Protectorate to conduct a clever balance.

Chief Secretary Wang Xuance said: "The war in the north seems to have come to an end. King Xia's army occupied Hanoi County, and Henan Yin was attacking Hedong County. The three princes were still testing each other's trump cards."

"I guess they will fight life and death soon. What are the ways to defeat the Kushan Empire as soon as possible? I need to pacify Dayuan Kingdom November before, because there is an expedition waiting for me to go. Then, maybe we can also participate in the Northern War."

Huoan chose a copy of the epic battle in the extremely difficult mode.

He was also a rash lord, but he gave up the copy of Hell mode.

No one wants to experience the feeling of being surrounded by an invincible enemy.

The development momentum of the Western Regions Protectorate is pretty good, and Huoan does not have to take great risks to pursue a slight victory rate.

At present, the lords are still relatively restrained.

Wang Xuance replied: "I have a plan that may be able to quickly defeat the Kushan Empire and control the Dayuan Kingdom in one fell swoop. I just want to get something, I have to pay the price."

"You follow me."

Huoan and Wang Xuance went to the backyard to discuss strategies to defeat the Kushan Empire's army. This was the first time the Western Regions Protectorate's Office fought with the Kushan Empire.
