Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 785: The puppet Dawan Kingdom
"Five difficulties? Should I choose Hell? Sages, please guide me."
Alexander summoned the sages of ancient Greece, including many philosophers including Plato and Aristotle.
Just as every hero has its own characteristics, these sages also have special abilities, and some sages also have the ability of "prophet", similar to Zhang Bin's "premonition" characteristic.
Aristotle and others fell into a brief silence.
Hell mode, which might actually send Alexander to hell.
Aristotle said: "Asia Minor is fertile ground for the establishment of empires, and the king does not need to take risks. Occupying Asia Minor, the king will challenge **** with a stronger attitude in the future."
"My teacher is right. It's extremely difficult to try first this time."
Alexander agreed with Aristotle.
He's still young and has decades to conquer the world, and he doesn't need to turn the tide and choose the most difficult mode of hell.
The lords of Rome, Germany, the United States, and Arabia also made their own choices.
Hell mode, it seems that not many lords dare to try, unless there is no way out.
Not only ancient China, but other civilizations also had extremely difficult battles.
For example, in the Battle of Constantinople in AD 1453, the last emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Constantine XI, defended the last city of Byzantium, Constantinople, with several thousand people, facing ten times more troops. The offensive of the Ottoman Empire itself is already hell-level difficulty.
At this time, if the system is assigned to the Battle of Constantinople, the attribute of the Ottoman Empire army in Hell difficulty will increase by 50%. With bronze cannons, battering rams and trebuchets, it's a nightmare.
Alexander took 20,000 people to defend Constantinople, and was surrounded by more than 100,000 Ottoman legions led by Mamet II, and in all likelihood they would be defeated.
Regardless of the Eastern Continent or the Western Continent, Hell Mode is no joke, it is real hell.
The "Battle of Jingkang" in which the various princes of the Han Empire participated together before seems to be mild compared to the **** mode of fighting alone this time.
So much so that, from Chutian in the east to Alexander in the west, when the power was strong, they only dared to choose the fourth difficulty, and dared not choose the fifth difficulty.
On the fifth difficulty, if you survive, it does not mean you will win.
At least make sure that the fourth difficulty is not particularly dangerous, and only later will the lord dare to take the initiative to choose the fifth difficulty.
Central Asia, the Kingdom of Dawan, the expedition force sent by the Protectorate of the Western Regions occupied a large city and gained a firm foothold.
A Dawan nobleman hosted a banquet to entertain the arriving Huo An.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions ruled by Huo An once occupied the Kingdom of Dawan a few years ago. Huo An supported many nobles of the Kingdom of Dawan. For his own benefit, he chose to stand on the side of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
At present, Dawan Kingdom is jointly controlled by three civilizations (Seljuk Empire, Kushan Empire, Han Empire), and it divides three parts of the Fergana Basin where Dawan Kingdom is located.
This basin, which is rich in grain, good horses, and wine, wants to be monopolized by either side. At the same time, the Fergana Basin is also an important strategic location.
If the teleportation formation of Dawan Kingdom is occupied, then the Protectorate of the Western Regions will not have to cross the Cong Ridge, which is several kilometers above sea level, and travel thousands of miles from Luntai to Central Asia and South Asia.
To be precise, Huo An wanted to turn Dawan into a colony and military base of the Han Empire, as one of the springboards for attacking Central and South Asia.
The Fergana Basin has no problem feeding millions of people.
"The Protectorate of the Western Regions had to retreat from the Dawan Kingdom and shrink its sphere of influence because Temujin, Okuotai, and Chagatai attacked Tianshan, Luntai, and Qiuci in the first two or three years. The Duhufu has regained stability, and Okuotai has aggressively attacked the Dawan Kingdom. It is time to restore the Western Regions Duhufu's rule over the Dawan Kingdom. I am the King of Liang of the Han Empire and the Daduhu of the Western Regions. In addition to stabilizing the countries in the Western Regions and guaranteeing the Western Regions To stay in the territory of the Han Empire, we still need to achieve something. The Han Empire must at least have a teleportation formation in the country of Dawan, to reduce unnecessary troubles in the future. And Mi Cai, you help me complete this matter, and you will benefit in the future. , would be unimaginable."
Huo An turned his back on the guest and sat on the main seat, while the nobleman of Dawan, Ma Cai, was in the lower position.
Mai Cai is a pro-Chinese nobleman from the Kingdom of Dawan.
"In the beginning, I was able to go from the leader of a small tribe to one of the powerful nobles of the Dawan Kingdom, all thanks to your help. But since your soldiers quit the Dawan Kingdom, something happened in the Dawan Kingdom. The nobles rebelled, killed the king you supported, and elected a new king. Later, the king of the Kushan Empire, Qiu Jieqe, led a large army and adopted a despicable method of sneak attack, attacking the Kingdom of Dawan and killing the new king. The king supported a new king. Later, Ogotai led the Mongolian and Turkic cavalry to invade the Kingdom of Dayuan, captured the King City of Dayuan for a time, killed the king established by the Yuezhi, and established a new king again. King."
“…”
Huo An couldn't help frowning when he heard the details of the changes in Dawan during the period of his departure from Dawan noble Ma Cai.
Dawan Kingdom is a puppet state. From the first year of the lord to the eleventh year, there were five kings in Dawan Kingdom. In addition to the old king, four of them were the nobles of Dawan Kingdom, the Protector of the Western Regions, A puppet controlled by the Kushuang Empire and Ogotai.
There is a saying that Central Asia is the bus, often ruled by outsiders.
Huo An is also ruthless about the rule here. The size of the Dawan Kingdom is destined for them to be dependent on the surrounding powerful empires. Which empire is stronger, then which empire can gain control of Dawan.
This is the sadness of small nations.
But even so, the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom still flatter the surrounding powerful empires like moths to the flames, and want to use the power of the empire to ascend to the throne of the Dawan Kingdom.
Mai Cai learned that Huo An's Han Empire expedition was coming, and saw the hope of becoming a king.
Huo An also knows that only interests are eternal.
As long as they have common interests, they are brothers.
"Who are these two?"
Mao Cai saw that there were two important figures beside Huo An. Their status was second only to Huo An and Huo Qing brothers and sisters in the Western Regions Protectorate.
"Xu Fengnian, and King Wusun."
"King Wusun?"
Mai Cai knew that before being conquered by the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Wusun Kingdom was considered a powerful country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but it still surrendered to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
King Wusun made great contributions in the process of the Han Empire's expeditionary army defeating Temujin and Chagatai, so he has a high status in the Western Regions Protectorate, and is also the king of the vassal state acquiesced by the lords of the Han Empire.
Military exploits are very important in troubled times.
"Several adults, Turks and Mongols, they began to withdraw their troops and withdrew from the Dawan Kingdom!"
While Huo An was talking to several nobles of the Dawan Kingdom who had taken refuge in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Okuotai announced his retreat and left the Fergana Basin.
"What is that guy in Okuotai thinking? He and the Kushuang Empire are fighting for the control of the Dawan Kingdom. It should last for a year or two, with nearly 100,000 casualties, so he gave up the Dawan Kingdom so easily?"
Huo An's face was gloomy, he was pondering the idea of Wo Kuotai.
Wokuotai led the Turkic cavalry and Mongolian cavalry to leave, then the kingdom of Dawan changed from a third of the world to a battle between two powers.
Now in the Dawan Kingdom, only the expedition army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the army of the Kushan Empire are left.
Huo An's subordinate Ban Chao said: "Perhaps, Okuotai wants to give up the Dawan Kingdom and let us fight with the Kushuang Empire. Both sides will suffer. He can clean up the mess."
"Perhaps that's true. Ogotai is not a reckless man. He can inherit the throne of Genghis Khan, and naturally he has his abilities. But we can adopt a quick-fix tactics, and before Ogotai can react, completely Occupy the entire Dawan Kingdom. At that time, even if he wants to end the game and clean up the mess, he will have no choice."
Ban Chao agrees: "A quick decision is indeed a winning strategy. The so-called soldiers are expensive and quick."
"How about the Northern War? If King Xia is at a disadvantage, then even if we give up Dawan, we will go to the Central Plains to help out~IndoMTL.com~ Huo An asked about the Northern War.
The marriage between the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Xia Wangfu is actually a community of interests. Even if Chutian unites the Han Empire, Huo An can still retain a relatively large amount of real power.
So if Chutian encounters a crisis, Huo An will consider the western army that will be used to defend Central Asia and go to support Chutian.
It's just that indulging Wokuotai's barbaric expansion in Central Asia is not good for the future of the Han Empire.
This requires a clever balance by the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Changshi Wang Xuance said: "The northern war seems to have come to an end. King Xia's army has occupied Hanoi County and Henan Yin, and is attacking Hedong County. The three princes are still testing each other's cards."
"It is estimated that they will fight for life and death soon. Is there any way to defeat the Kushan Empire as soon as possible? I need to pacify the Dawan Kingdom before November, because there is an expedition waiting for me to go. Then, maybe we can get involved in the Great Northern War."
Hoan chose the epic campaign instance on Hard Mode.
He's also a daring lord, but he's given up on the Hell Mode dungeon anyway.
No one wants to experience the feeling of being surrounded by an invincible enemy force.
The development momentum of the Protectorate of the Western Regions is not bad, Huo An does not have to take great risks to pursue a slight chance of winning.
Currently, each lord is relatively restrained.
Wang Xuance replied: "I have a plan. Maybe I can quickly defeat the Kushan Empire and control the Dawan Kingdom in one fell swoop. It's just that if you want to gain something, you must pay a price."
"You come with me."
Huo An and Wang Xuance went to the backyard to discuss a plan to defeat the Kushan Empire's army. This is the first time that the Protectorate of the Western Regions has fought against the Kushan Empire.
The Guishuang Empire was established by the Yuezhi people. The Yuezhi people stole the Dawan Kingdom, which was ruled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Now the Protectorate of the Western Regions wants to take back their puppet state.
