Which is more difficult, Caesar crossing the Rubicon River to attack Rome or Wei Yan taking the Meri

Caesar's forced crossing of the Rubicon to attack Rome during the Roman Civil War, and Wei Yan's raid on Chang'an through the Meridian Valley during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, the former are more likely to succeed. Here's why:

First, a large part of northern Italy at that time was under the jurisdiction of Caesar, and when the conflict with the Senate intensified, Caesar had already arranged legions in southern Gaul, and after crossing the Rubicon River, there was no danger or obstruction, and all roads led to Rome.

Second, in terms of the deployment and strategy of the army at that time, Caesar's marching plan at that time was indeed superior. At that time, the nobles sent legions in Italy, Spain and Greece, and there were soldiers around Rome to guard, but the two legions stationed in Italy were dispatched by Caesar, which was not very credible, and these two legions were wintering in southern Italy at the time, Caesar pointed directly to the port of Brindisi, and took these two important legions first, because it was a sudden attack, the enemy army at that time had no time to react, and Caesar's reinforcements also arrived later, and the odds of victory were very large. In comparison, the strategy of the army of Shu at that time was not so safe, and there was no way to resist Cao Zhen's large army.

Third, in terms of internal conditions, Caesar, as the leader of the plebeian faction, had many supporters. In ancient times, warfare paid the most attention to the right time, place and people, and people were also the most important part of it, and there was a certain popular will, and Caesar's success was also conceivable, on the other hand, Wei Yan did not have such a good mass foundation.

All in all, Caesar's forced crossing of the Rubicon River is feasible and not so difficult, and there is no successful example of a raid on Chang'an in the Meridian Valley in history, so it is said that the former is more likely to succeed.

I suggest that the person who asks this question personally take a hike to the Meridian Valley with equipment and see where the 300-mile Peerless Road can go in 20 days. Wei Yan is whimsical, Zhuge Liang knows that Meridian Valley can't leave!

Walking the Meridian Valley is more dangerous, mainly because his opponent is stronger, and his own strength is poor, and the geographical environment is harsh, so it is more difficult.

I think the latter is more difficult, because there were no favorable conditions at that time, and Wei Yan could only rely on his own strength to fight his way.

The Rubicon Raid is less difficult than the Meridian Valley Raid, because the former has been proven by history to be feasible, and it is not as dangerous as it seems, and it does not require the red clay that is difficult to walk on the Meridian Road, while the latter not only has almost no successful precedent, but it is also from "Wei Luo", whether there is such a thing is still questionable.

Of course, the latter is more difficult, the former has been proven to be feasible, and the geographical environment of the Meridian Valley is very harsh, and it is completely infeasible to walk 300 kilometers in 20 days.

I think the latter is more difficult, because the historical facts of the latter attack are completely unfavorable at the right time and place, and completely rely on Wei Yan's hard power.

The terrain conditions there are very severe in all aspects, and the regional environment is very harsh, which is not conducive to Wei Yan. So the latter is more difficult.

I think it is more dangerous for Wei Yan to go to the Meridian Valley, because the terrain conditions there are very severe in all aspects, which is not conducive to Wei Yan.

The latter is difficult, the historical facts of the latter attack are completely unfavorable at the right time, place and people, and it completely relies on Wei Yan's hard power.

The Rubicon raid was less difficult than the Meridian Valley raid, and Caesar's strategy was indeed surprisingly successful, because he used his suspicious troops to the extreme. Because Caesar used the 5,000 men to divide his troops along the road and occupy the cities, and at the same time he made a great bluff.
