Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

After the ten elders arrived, Severus explained the situation of the Parthian Empire, and then asked: "What do you think we should do now?"

Although Severu was asking the ten elders, his eyes were fixed on Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly after hearing this, but didn't speak.

Originally, there were more than ten elders in the Council of Elders, and there were as many as forty or fifty elders.

But Severus was from a military background, he was used to arbitrariness, and he didn't pay attention to the elders' house. He withdrew more than 40 elders, leaving only nine obedient ones.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for an oriental person to enter the elders' house.

Elder Markus was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the Parthian Empire has an army of 150 million, which is five times that of the Qin army."

"Besides, there is no problem of food and grass in this country's war. Therefore, Vologassis V will win this battle. Why should His Majesty worry about it?"

"On the contrary, I thought that when the Parthian Empire was at war with the Great Qin army, our army should suddenly advance eastward, quickly take down the Parthian Empire, and then expel the Qin army."

"In this way, the Parthian Empire will be included in the territory of our Great Roman Empire."

"Then, the Guishuang Empire, the Arabian Peninsula, and Tianzhu will all be the territory of our Great Roman Empire."

"In the end, His Majesty will command an army of one million to attack the Great Qin in the east and take down the Great Qin Empire in one fell swoop."

"Our Great Roman Empire will become the only empire in the world, but wherever the sun shines, it is the territory of our Great Roman Empire."

The more Marknus spoke, the more excited he became. At the end of his speech, he had already stood up, gesticulating, spitting and flying around.

Hearing Maxnus' bold words, the other eight Roman elders were also exaggerated by him, and they all followed suit.

"Yes, what Elder Markus said is justified. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Great Roman Empire."

"After unifying the world, His Majesty will become an emperor who has never been seen before or since, and his name will go down in history."

"From now on, the whole world belongs to our Great Roman Empire, and our slaves, manors, and money will be countless."

"Haha, I can't wait to get more female slaves from the East."

"Tsk tsk, those oriental beauties that His Majesty rewarded me are really top-notch. During this period of time, I have neglected all the former female slaves, and only favored a few of them."

"Your Majesty, I agree with Elder Markus' strategy."

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Elder Markus' strategy."

"Your Majesty, I also agree."

"And I, Your Majesty, I agree."

……

The remaining eight Roman elders are all of the same caliber.

Maxnus is the wisest man in the House of Elders, the wisest one.

In the past, almost all of the 45 elders followed his lead.

Later, there were fewer and fewer elders, so Maxnus had to hide his strength and bide his time, surrendering to Severus on the surface, and kept the position of elder.

Although the number of elders is small, Markus has more power to speak, and Severus trusts him more and more until Zhuge Liang comes.

Maxnus hated Zhuge Liang very much, thinking that Zhuge Liang challenged his position in the elders' house.

This time, he thought that this strategy was very wise, and he had the support of the other eight elders. He was extremely proud, and couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Liang provocatively.

Then, Marknus said to Severus: "Your Majesty, please judge."

Severus turned his head to glance at Zhuge Liang who was shaking the feather fan lightly, and asked, "What does Elder Zhuge think?"

Only then did Zhuge Liang stop his feather fan, smiled lightly, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Parthian Empire will soon fall."

Markus sneered: "I have already said this point."

"My great Roman army marched eastward, and the Parthian Empire was the first country to fall. It seems meaningless for Prime Minister Zhuge to repeat my words."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Markus, and said calmly: "After the Parthian Empire is destroyed, the Great Qin Emperor will continue to march westward, and the next country to be destroyed will be the Great Roman Empire."

"What?" The nine members of Markus were shocked and angry when they heard this.

Marknus immediately yelled loudly: "Zhuge Liang, are you a spy of the Qin army, or are you really planning for our great Roman Empire?"

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "I have a sworn feud with the emperor of the Great Qin Empire."

"Then why do you say that?"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "You don't know Hua Yu, you don't know how powerful he is."

"In this world, when it comes to martial arts, no one can surpass him."

"When it comes to strategy, no one can beat him."

"When it comes to governing the country, all the emperors combined cannot compare to him."

"Therefore, unless the Great Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire join forces and raise their troops, they will be able to defeat the Great Qin's tiger and wolf division."

"As for the Eastern Expedition of the Great Roman Army, I suggest not to do so."

An elder sneered: "What does Prime Minister Zhuge mean? Could it be that our great Roman army will be defeated when it marches eastward?"

Zhuge Liang nodded: "Exactly."

Markus yelled angrily: "Elder Zhuge, tell me your reason?"

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "The reason is very simple, just two words: popular support."

popular sentiment?

Marknus' face darkened, and he shouted: "Zhuge Liang, you mean that His Majesty is unpopular with the people, but the Great Qin Emperor is popular with the people, right?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly: "Of course Your Majesty is popular among the people, but the Great Qin Emperor is even more popular in the Great Qin Kingdom."

"Furthermore, according to intelligence analysis, the Great Qin Emperor even easily accepted the hearts of the people of Tianzhu Kingdom, Guishuang Empire and Parthia Empire."

"Every time you occupy a piece of land, you can use the local people's hearts for your own use. This is the most terrifying thing about the Great Qin Emperor."

"We in the East have a military strategy: the bottom is to attack the city, and the top is to attack the heart."

"And Emperor Daqin used the words 'attacking the heart first' to the extreme, almost invincible."

Now, Severus understood what Zhuge Liang meant, but he didn't speak, but frowned.

Marknus asked in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zhuge, since you have described the Great Qin Emperor so miraculously, I would like to ask, how did he win the hearts of the people so quickly."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Markus, then at Severus, and sighed: "Your Majesty knows, let Your Majesty tell the story."

Immediately, the nine members of Markus looked at Severus together: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Just when Severus was about to speak, a palace official broke in suddenly: "Your Majesty, Parthia has sent an urgent report. The Qin army has broken through the Parthian eastern defense line and pushed the battle line into the Parthian Empire. .”

"Ah..." Except for Zhuge Liang, Severus and the others were all taken aback.
