Chapter 279 Frequent rebellion, powerful means

Liu Bian led the Habayashi Army to break through the siege very quickly, and before leaving, he set fire again, igniting the Roman barracks.

"Follow me back!"

Liu Bian immediately led more than 200 cavalry to the sea where the Han fleet was anchored.

After some speeding, several miles away, I heard a rumbling cannon.

"Your Majesty, this is our artillery!"

Jiang Wei shouted loudly.

"Well, that's right, except for our artillery, it is impossible for the Romans to have it!"

Liu Bian's heart has been relieved.

Now that there is the sound of artillery, it means that the Han army has begun to attack.

As long as he does it, he won't be afraid.

Anyway, the Romans are definitely not opponents of cannons and muskets.

What Liu Bian was most afraid of was that Rome used insidious tricks, such as poisoning and setting fire, so that the Han army had no chance to fight back.

Now it seems that most of them don't have these.

As soon as the artillery of the Han army fired, the Romans had no chance of winning.

really.

Liu Bian led Jiang Wei and the others to rush forward, and saw a large number of Roman soldiers fleeing.

The faces of these Roman soldiers were full of horror.

Many people are constantly chanting, obviously begging for something from the gods.

"Haha, these Roman savages are scared out of their wits." Jiang Wei shouted happily.

Liu Bian knew that the Roman army was already defeated.

The flag of the Roman Emperor Caracalla has long since disappeared.

A group of Roman cavalry broke away from the infantry and began to flee in a hurry to the north.

"Jiang Wei!"

Liu Bian shouted loudly.

"The end is here!"

"Follow me to charge, let these Roman barbarians know the consequences of whoever provokes the big man!"

Liu Bian had already decided to declare war on Rome, so he naturally wanted to kill with all his heart.

soon.

Liu Bie led Jiang Wei and other Han troops to chase and kill the prisoners.

In the end, it turned out that the remaining deserters had to be let go because the horses were exhausted.

Even so, thousands of Roman soldiers were killed and wounded, almost equivalent to a Roman legion.

And also captured hundreds of Romans.

Jiang Wei walked towards Liu Bian with a Roman prisoner.

"Your Majesty, look who this thief is!"

After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he threw the man to the ground.

Liu Bian looked down and found that this person was none other than Patrius.

That is, the Roman envoy who encouraged Emperor Caracalla to murder Liu Bian.

"Haha, Patrius, you are really unlucky, you are in my hands, but you will be sent as an envoy in Ling Chi!" Liu Bian said.

Patrius had been in the Central Plains for so long, so he had naturally heard of the famous Lingchi torture.

Immediately, he was so scared that he shit and peed.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I am willing to obey your will and become the most loyal running dog of the big man!" Patrius begged.

"What's your use? Give me a reason not to kill you." Liu Bian said.

Since war is going to Rome, some leading parties are still needed.

This Patellius obviously has no integrity, even if he is killed, it will be useless.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to help the big man to seize the Governor-General of Egypt!" Patrius said.

Liu Bian showed disdain and waved his hand lightly.

"My soldiers and horses are here, you don't need to talk nonsense, come here, pull them down and prepare for execution!"

Upon hearing this, Patrius was even more frightened, and quickly followed up.

"No, no, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Patrius, just a governorship of Egypt is not enough to atone for sin." Liu Bian said.

"Your Majesty, I have another plan, which allows the eastern Syrian governorate, Armenia, Aleppo, and Percinia to enter the territory of the Han!" Patelius said.

Liu Bian knew that the areas he just mentioned were almost all of the eastern territory of the Roman Empire.

Moreover, these places, in Rome in this era, are very rich.

Especially the Governor-General of Egypt, and the Governor-General of Syria, one is an agricultural production area and an important commercial territory.

As long as these two places are separated from Roman rule, the strength of the Roman Empire will be greatly affected.

In particular, the governorship of Syria will further affect the commerce in Asia Minor and Greece.

"With so many places, what can you do to make them surrender?" Liu Bian asked.

"Your Majesty, there are a large number of Christians in these areas. Their rights are not guaranteed and have not been recognized by the Roman Emperor. If you can give them legal status, these Christians will be the best internal agents." Patrius said.

Liu Bian nodded slightly.

He knew that what Patrius said was true.

Even though the Christian camp was born more than 200 years ago, in the territory of the Roman Empire, there has always been a powerful religion of ancient Roman gods.

These Christians are often oppressed in various ways.

Especially in the eastern part of the empire, even if the number of these Christians occupies the majority, they have little power.

If Liu Bian can encourage them to rebel, he can easily gain the loyalty of these regions.

"Okay, this condition is fine." Liu Bian said.

Patrius breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and finally he didn't have to die.

"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Bian asked.

"Your Majesty, the current leader of Christianity, Alexios, is near Egypt. I can send someone to find him. If he has his allegiance at that time, he will be able to obtain the allegiance of these regions." Patrius said .

Liu Bian agreed to this request.

Because Patrius was trampled on his leg, he was allowed to recuperate first, and while he was preparing to land and march, he sent someone to contact Alexios, the leader of Christianity.

After the Han army landed, they wiped out the nearby Roman army and completely turned it into a base.

Many indigenous people in Egypt have long been dissatisfied with the excessive expropriation of the Romans, and they all came to defect.

As a liaison officer, Patrius was very hardworking.

There's no way, everything about him was gone when he was captured.

If I don't behave well, I might lose my life.

Moreover, Liu Bian has already agreed to him.

After these lands are seized, he will be appointed governor of a place.

The specific governor of that place depends on the performance of Patrius.

In two days.

Alexios, the head of Christianity who was preaching in Egypt, arrived in secret.

After seeing Liu Bian, Alexios showed admiration and piety.

"Almighty Lord, you have finally appeared. When Jesus came, sages came from the east. Now that the Roman emperor is tyrannical, saviors have come from the east again!"

Liu Bian was not impressed by Alexios' religious flattery.

He went straight to the subject.

"I want you to resist Rome, what kind of assistance do you need?"
