The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 551 Determined to Do It
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Tian Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

He was almost intimidated by Chen Gong just now.

After doing the math, Tian Ze almost thought of giving up.

However, after being reminded by Cheng Yu, he thought about it carefully and suddenly found that the situation was not as difficult as Chen Gong said.

It is indeed difficult to transport food and fodder by land, and troops sent from the north have to be transported by land. The logistical pressure makes Tian Ze feel desperate.

But this is not the case if you travel by water from the south.

As long as they conquer Kushan, and wait for the aristocratic families to take root in Kushan, they can then move westward step by step to attack Parthia and Rome, relying mainly on water routes to deploy troops and transport food and supplies.

The speed and food loss rate of water transportation are much better than those of land transportation.

The two are completely on a different level, and the logistical pressure can be directly reduced to a level that Tian Ze can easily accept.

Moreover, a big part of the reason why it was difficult to attack Kushan was that there were two difficult terrains between Kushan and Da Qi: the Western Regions and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The route to Sindhu is easy, but Tian Ze is in a hurry to fight on two fronts, so this route cannot be opened in a short time.

After figuring this out, Tian Ze couldn't help but glare at Chen Gong.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is now starting to play tricks on him.

What he said was all true, but he was actually leading himself into trouble.

Chen Gong felt a little bitter when he realized that Tian Ze was not scared.

The original red temperature state suddenly turned into an autistic state.

After all, I can't stop Your Majesty!
Jia Xu, Tian Feng and others also sighed inwardly.

Their previous indifference was actually a secret support for Chen Gong.

As for Tian Zexi's expedition, they actually all had reservations.

After all, this kind of thing is more harmful than beneficial to Da Qi. It is completely selfless and will only bring harm to oneself.

They found out a lot about the situations of the three major empires: Kushan, Parthia and Rome, and concluded that these three empires had many hidden dangers and were already showing signs of decline.

Even if they did not take action, with the strength of Yuan Shao and others, it should not be difficult to take down these three empires, but the time span would be much longer.

After all, the Han people have far greater advantages than other ethnic groups in terms of their heritage, hard work, and organizational skills.

Moreover, these so-called empires were actually not very mature in the eyes of Jia Xu and others. Each of them had very obvious flaws and appeared very immature politically.

Although their strength on paper is not weak, compared with Da Qi, they don’t feel like countries of the same era and class.

So Jia Xu and others didn’t quite understand why Tian Ze was so anxious.

Wouldn't it be better to let them fight each other slowly?
It can also buy Da Qi another hundred years of time for independent development.

In this era, the concept of nation is not yet very stable, and to some extent it can even be said to be in its infancy.

To put it bluntly, the surrounding ethnic groups are also descendants of Yan and Huang. Many of them evolved from the former vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, and some are even the survivors of the Warring States Period.

Therefore, the concept of hostility between each other is not so thorough. In many cases, you are in me and I am in you.

So, they supported Tian Ze's strong sense of nationalism, but did not fully understand it.

Although he could see what his ministers were thinking, Tian Ze didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Because actually they are right.

If it weren't for luck, just leaving it alone as they thought might not be a bad thing.

but……

Tian Ze also felt some guilt in his heart, but it was quickly wiped out.

It's all for the Han people. I have done nothing wrong. I just feel sorry for my descendants.

But they conquered this country by themselves, so why should they be dissatisfied?
Tian Ze, with a clear mind, looked directly at the civil and military officials in front of him and said without hesitation: "I will march west, and no one can stop me." "I know that many of you have doubts, and they are all for me and for the sake of Da Qi."

"But, I tell you! I don't need it!"

"I just want the Han people to occupy this world as soon as possible!"

"Whether you understand or not, I will continue to fight."

"I hope you won't let me down again!"

After hearing what Tian Ze said, Chen Gong and the others completely gave up and closed their eyes.

They understood that this was Tianze's ultimatum to them.

The world is about to be unified, the situation is critical and special, it is normal for these ministers to have confused minds and many thoughts.

Tian Ze could understand, but he would never let it affect his great cause.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We understand!" Chen Gong said with a bow.

They had tried their best, and since Tian Ze insisted on doing so, they had no choice but to follow him.

Tian Ze looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.

This seems to be the same feeling I had in my previous life when I faced parents who only cared about my own good.

But sometimes, what the other person wants to give is not what you want.

"Thank you for your hard work. Think about it carefully when you go back."

Tian Ze, feeling a little depressed, sighed, then turned around and strode to the back of the hall, leaving the ministers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Cheng Yu slowly walked in front of Chen Gong and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Gongtai, I'm sorry!"

Chen Gong shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Zhongde, you did nothing wrong. As ministers, we should try our best to do what we should do."

"To be honest, I actually hoped that you could stand up, even if..."

Hearing this, Cheng Yu sighed and said, "I understand!"

"Your Majesty is still Your Majesty after all. Perhaps Your Majesty can see much further than us. After all, delaying will lead to changes. It may be a good thing to end it sooner rather than later."

"As subjects, we only need to follow His Majesty."

Jia Xu and others looked at this scene with mixed feelings, but they quickly put aside those unnecessary thoughts.

Cheng Yu was right, they were Tian Ze's subjects.

Even if Tian Ze wanted to cut himself with a knife, they had tried to persuade him and tried to stop him, but he still insisted on doing so.

All they could do was to find a knife that caused less damage, disinfect it in advance, and prepare healing medicine.

Now that the final decision had been made, Jia Xu and others began to act quickly.

This conversation soon reached the ears of various princes through secret channels.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others could not help but admire him.

They didn't know what was going on in Tian Ze's decision.

However, they undoubtedly all benefited from this and owed Tian Ze a favor that they could never repay.

At this moment, no matter how stubborn they were in their hearts, their resentment towards Tian Ze completely disappeared.

He single-handedly withstood the pressure from everyone, and when he was sure of victory, he stabbed himself in the back, all for the Han people.

Tian Ze's mind has already transcended the grudges and hatred between them.

Even Liu Bei, who was prepared to fight to the death, remained silent after learning about it.
