Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 6585 I don't understand
After hearing what Jia Xu said, Chen Xi did not refute. Things had come to this point, and it was meaningless to rely on others. It all depended on what Zhen Yan could do.

"I don't think the other party will be successful." Fa Zheng glanced at the figure that had disappeared at the door, and then said casually, "Master Jia, why don't you go to Central Asia to clean up the mess? Things have come to this point, and the Zhen family can't get out of this situation. No matter what caused this to happen, the fact that Ancheng Hou knows nothing about it means that he can't solve the problem of Mediah at all."

Fa Zheng also saw the cruelty in Zhen Yan's eyes when he left, but this cruelty could not solve any problems. Media fell and Zhen Yan knew nothing, which meant that the other party had no control over the entire family at all.

It makes no difference whether the clan elders, family elders, and leaders of various branches treat him as a puppet, or whether he himself doesn't care and has no ambition at all and just wants to use the Zhen family's golden rice bowl to live a life of luxury and debauchery, a life he never dared to imagine before, etc.

No one would think that they can seize power instantly by threatening the clan elders and family elders with the knife. Even if they kill people to deter others, even if blood is everywhere, the established organization has its own inertia. Even if the clan elders, family elders and branch leaders are convinced, it will take some time for the people below to change their previous attitudes and behavioral logic.

The larger the organization, the more time it will take to deal with such a situation. Given the size of the Zhen family and Zhen Yan's ability, it would take more than half a year just to sort it out. And this is with the cooperation of the entire family. If there is no cooperation, it will take even longer.

"Think about it now, Bo Yao is a complete puppet. The Zhen family has come to this point because of Bo Yao's own choice." After listening to Fa Zheng's words, Chen Xi did not refute, because he knew that this was the fact. He just felt it was a pity that Zhen Yan had to bear such a responsibility.

As the de facto largest foreign relative of the Han Empire, Zhen Yan was not at all domineering. Not to mention being overly cautious, at least after succeeding the position of Marquis of Chengyang, he always kept a low profile and never took risks. Many times, he would rather give up benefits and wait for others to form a trend before he would follow the trend.

As for the internal affairs of the family, Zhen Yan also completely delegated power. Because of the problems with his family education, as a bastard, he had no possibility of succeeding as the head of the family. Knowing his own shortcomings, he dispersed power to the elders of the family and let these mature and steady seniors take the helm. He himself stayed in the Central Plains and maintained his relationship with Zhang and Zhen Mi. As for power, Zhen Yan's family knew his own business, and he really did not have that ability.

It can be said that Zhen Yan did an excellent job in this regard. At least Chen Xi recognized Zhen Yan as his uncle.

It’s just that Zhen Yan has no ambition and only wants to rise with the help of Liu Bei and Chen Xi. It doesn’t mean that other people don’t have ambition, and ambition requires strength.

In addition, Zhen Yan has been governing by inaction in recent years and lacks authority. Although the branches of the family may not have any disloyalty, they really don't respect the head of the family very much. After all, in their eyes, Zhen Yan is just a junior who has inherited the title and official position by luck.

He didn't show any amazing abilities, and had a good temper. Over time, the character's image was naturally shaped in the minds of those guys who had stepped out of the country and had wild minds.

This is how good people are bullied.

"Send a letter to urge the two Cuis, the Zhaos, the Weis, and the Guos to take back Media." Zhuge Liang said after a moment of silence. In fact, this was equivalent to protecting the Zhen family.

"You don't have to give the order, let the Zhen family handle it. If they can't even think of this, don't blame me for being rude." Chen Xi said calmly. In a month, there is still room for maneuver, but since it has been missed, there is no need to talk about it and just wait to die.

"With what happened with Marquis Ancheng, I'm afraid he really can't think of it. He knows nothing now." Guo Jia also started to persuade, saying that what happened to the Zhen family was very shameful, and it was indeed a big deal, but as long as you fight back and pay all the compensation, this matter can be passed. After all, the Zhen family can really afford the compensation.

"That means there is a way to die." Chen Xi glanced at Guo Jia and said calmly. This is not empty talk, but a fact. If you can take it back after losing the land, then there is still room for turning around. If you can't take it back, then there is nothing to say.

Many situations in the Han Dynasty were so realistic that they were hard to describe. Take the case of the Zhen family. If the land was lost, although the entire clan would not be wiped out, the head of the family would have to die, and the family resources and accumulated wealth would have to be confiscated. Not to mention being reduced to a penniless state, he would be directly demoted to a lowly position. His hereditary title of marquis would be directly destroyed, and his hereditary official position would be directly confiscated. These were all considered normal.

Although it's not quite the same as the "Young man, please start over" in the game, it's almost there.

But if during this period of time you can regain the lost territory, make up for the losses caused by the loss of territory, and kill the enemies who should be killed, then you can make a big thing small and a small thing nothing, and you can get away with it.

Of course, there will still be punishment, but compared to the above, which is already mild, the worst that can happen is stripping of the title, and this kind of stripping of the title may be renewed after a while.

"It's probably going to be hard to take. The Media Trading City itself was expanded based on the former Parthian secondary capital." Fa Zheng said expressionlessly, "Let's put it this way. After it was taken down, there were three to five thousand people inside. It would probably take half a year to take it back."

Chen Xi did not answer. He knew it was like this. It was a building of secondary capital level, the largest trading city jointly managed by Han and Rome standing on the east side of Zagros Mountains. It had top-notch city defenses and combined various city defense equipment from both Han and Rome. It was obvious that it could be taken in one fell swoop. With many defense facilities intact, it would take the regular armies of Han and Rome to defeat it.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi rejected Zhuge Liang's suggestion. Although the two Cuis, Zhao, Wei, and Guo Liuyin are capable, it is not so easy for them to capture such a strong city.

"They are such rubbish. How could they be defeated in one fell swoop?" Chen Xi could not help but curse. "Even if they were attacked from both inside and outside, they should not be defeated so quickly! What on earth are the Zhen family doing? How could they be so stupid? That is the defense level of a secondary capital, and both the Han Dynasty and Rome have deployed a lot of troops there."

Because Media is a co-managed area and a very important trading city, there have been troops stationed there since its establishment. Ma Chao's base on the Roman side is in the Media trading city. Although the army generally does not enter the city, there is a very large military camp outside Media, which is the base of the Seventh Eagle Flag Legion. The entire Seventh Eagle Flag Legion is there all year round.

As for the Han Dynasty, it did not openly station troops in Media. Only the Zhen family, which was appointed to jointly manage Media with Ma Chao in the Media co-administration area, had more than 2,000 guards there.

The Caucasus region to the north of Komedia was the fiefdom that the Wei family seized from Ardashir, the southeast belonged to the Zhao family, the east belonged to the Er Cui family, and the southwest belonged to Guo Liuyin.

To put it bluntly, these families, let alone their fighting power, are among the most powerful families in Central Asia. Counting five hundred years ago and five hundred years later, they are all big and powerful families. If Mediah gets hit one day and the Zhen family can only hold on for ten days or so, it would be weird if these families don't happily run off to take advantage of the situation. After all, the Zhen family's money can really be exchanged for supplies!
More than 2,000 guards, defense at the level of a secondary capital, various defense facilities, cloud reserves, various emergency material warehouses, special equipment. Even if Ardashir comes to attack, as long as these people perform normally, they can hold out for a month or two. Let alone one or two months, if they can hold out for ten days or so, the surrounding families will then bring their regular troops to rush over and take advantage.

Even if there is a tough guy who can defeat these few, it will take some effort, and it can only last for a while. The Media Trading City is located a hundred miles away from the Zagros Mountains. This is the location chosen by the Roman Empire. The requirement is that His Excellency the Duke can come in person when necessary.

In other words, as long as they can hold on for twenty-five days, Duke Ganasis will be able to lead the elite troops from the eastern border counties to the battlefield.

To be honest, with this configuration, the Han Dynasty and Rome never thought that Media could fall. When they arranged for the Zhen family to go to Media, it was because the Zhen family was an in-law, had the foundation of a top family, was rich, and could engage in business. They wanted to let the Zhen family take advantage and enjoy themselves, but in the end, they still capsized?
"We probably need to wait for a new round of accurate intelligence to be released. The previous intelligence was urgently released by Media's intelligence personnel when the city was breached. It did not describe what happened, but according to the simple description, the city was suddenly breached." Guo Jia said helplessly. His intelligence personnel did their best. They woke up to find that the city had been breached, and they were well-trained to be able to send a letter quickly. It would take some time to find out accurate information about the breach.

At the same time, the Wei, Zhao, and Cui families of Media had already received intelligence in their own Wu Castle from their own intelligence personnel stationed in Media Trading City at the time of its fall.

The heads of the three families were all confused. Damn it, Media fell. What the hell was going on? How could Media fall?

If there had not been a very accurate code on the secret letter, the three family heads would have suspected that their own intelligence personnel were under too much pressure from the locust plague and had no reason to come and make fun of them.

"Fuck, this is too outrageous. How did Media fall?" Zhao Jian looked over and over at the information in his hand, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

"What should we do? We have the obligation to defend Media. Now Media has fallen inexplicably. Should we attack?" Zhao Yan said with a grim face.

"What the hell! Our mission is to outflank the legions attacking Media from the rear when Media is attacked, so as to buy time for the families further back and the Duke of the eastern border counties of Rome. Now Media has fallen inexplicably, and we will die if we rush in!" Zhao Jian had a look of despair on his face. "What we have to do now is to defend Wubao, and then send elites to Media to gather accurate intelligence, so as not to be caught by the enemy forces who have conquered the Media Trading City!"

"Send the information to the Yang, Yuan, and Wang families in our rear, and ask them to be prepared. Tell them that if the enemy conquers Media's powerful army in one fell swoop, once the enemy comes to attack our Zhao family's Wu Fort, I'm afraid our Zhao family can only hold on for 22 days. Ask them to provide support. In addition, make plans for exile, gather the seeds of the family, and activate the reserve weapons." Although Zhao Jian's face was broken, what he said was extremely organized.

"Head of the family..." Zhao Yan's face looked very ugly.

"I know there is a possibility that the Zhen family is being plotted against and that there is a conspiracy between the inside and the outside, but Media is the secondary capital after all. The Zhen family didn't even leave us time to prepare, which means that they will basically collapse at the first touch. Their hard power directly crushes us. So we should use all the means we should use and get through this level first." Zhao Jian said coldly.

The Wei and Cui families also made the same judgment and passed the secret information to the families behind them as soon as possible, so that other families could also prepare for support.

Ever since the three families of Guo, Liu and Yin were exterminated by the Parthian bandits, the major families have finally realized the dangers of establishing a country. At other times, they quarreled and hindered each other, but when it really came to a life-and-death moment, they were definitely brothers who supported each other, and there was no need to say anything else.

Therefore, at this moment, the three major families closest to Media are all facing a great enemy. As for the three families of Guo Liuyin, who were also originally close to Media Trading City, they are now hiding in Xinzhou and cannot receive any news at all.

"Fuck, is the Zhen family a bunch of rubbish?" Cui Jun's face turned pale. This news could be said to be the most outrageous news Cui had ever seen in all these years. It was totally unimaginable how Peidu fell in one day.

"Organize a team of fifth-level smelting guards in the family and go to Media as quickly as possible to investigate and determine what happened and who the enemy is." Cui Jun made a prompt decision, "Tell them that this mission is extremely dangerous, but if anything goes wrong, Cui's family will take care of everything after your death. Let them go to Media to investigate now."

Only the Cui family has such ability. Even the Three Kings cannot achieve this level now. In the whole Central Asia, there are only nearly a hundred people in the Cui family who can perform the fifth-level smelting. However, this actually belongs to the foundation of the Yuan family. Unfortunately, they have already settled the debt and owe nothing.

At the same time, Ganasis, who was already busy with the locust plague and taxation in Ctesiphon, also received the urgent intelligence from Media. Of course, Ganasis received it even earlier than the Han Dynasty, but Ganasis was busy with other things and was not in Ctesiphon. Now he had time to read the urgent intelligence from Media, and the moment he finished reading it, Ganasis was furious!

Damn, we Romans have fast-growing rice seeds and silk temporarily stored in Media!
