The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 287 The jihad begins, supreme glory
Just four months.

The Papal State of Egypt was established successively, followed by the Papal State of Petra, the Papal State of Upper Judaism, the Papal State of Lower Judaism, the Papal Commonwealth of Syria, the Papal State of Armenia, and the Papal State of Mesopotamia. The Christian nation was founded.

Although Christianity in these areas is very powerful, it does not occupy an absolute advantage.

Therefore, since the founding of these Christian states, they have planted the seeds of turmoil.

Not only were the seeds of turmoil planted, but the ambitions of different religious and ethnic groups were also stimulated.

The various tribal forces in these areas have already understood that whoever gets the support of the Orientals will have a lot of assistance, and they can stand up and become masters.

There were also various turmoil in each of the Pope's states.

Many tribes hope that through war, they can gain the support of the Eastern Han people and let them establish their own country.

Of course, the Pope states are unwilling to see these situations.

The Han Dynasty in the East is their golden father, whoever robs them of the golden father will be the enemy of life and death.

A series of civil strife became more and more serious.

Only the Papal State of Egypt can maintain stability.

After all, Liu Bian led the Han army to sit here.

suddenly.

On this day, Liu Bian was planning to leave Egypt and return to the Central Plains.

After all, the things that should be taken away are almost gone, and the gunpowder reserves of the Han army have also been consumed a lot.

If you don't leave, it will take a long time.

However, at this time, Liu Bian received the notification.

"Your Majesty, a large number of ships have appeared on the sea to the north!" Jiang Wei ran over and said.

"A large number of ships must have come from the Romans. It has been four months. They finally came, but they are really slow." Liu Bian said disdainfully.

In fact, Liu Bian didn't know that the Romans' counterattack was almost gone.

Since the death of Emperor Caracalla in Egypt, the Roman Empire has been in chaos.

Various factions fought in the city of Rome in order to seize the throne of the Roman emperor.

All kinds of political assassinations, poisoning, and rumors are endless.

In the end, the Roman Praetorian Guard Commander Macrinus won the victory and became the new emperor of the Roman Empire.

The new emperor has no royal blood of the Roman Severus dynasty. In order to show his legitimacy, he urgently needs to regain the territory of the East.

Therefore, Macrinus organized a huge navy and army, and rushed towards Egypt aggressively.

Not long after they left, Syria in the east waited until the Christians rebelled. Many Romans were afraid of being surrounded and wanted to wait and see.

Macrinus tried his best to overcome all opinions, and then led the Roman army to kill again.

"Your Majesty, the Roman navy is really vulnerable."

Jiang Wei said beside Liu Bian.

From the binoculars, Liu Bian had already seen the Roman army.

The Roman navy was still dominated by galleys.

These galleys required massive slave oarsmen, who rammed enemy ships with their rams, or massive ballistas, which fired projectiles to kill.

This kind of backward ship can still dominate the Mediterranean basin.

However, once you encounter the artillery battleship of the big man, you have to wait for death.

"Unfortunately, our fleet is now in the Red Sea, so we can't come here."

Liu Bian said with some regret.

In this era, there are no canals.

In order to enter the Mediterranean from the Red Sea, it is simply impossible except to detour from the southern tip of Africa.

However, there are many dangers in the route around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.

Liu Bian's current navy is very valuable, and there is no need to go to the Mediterranean to beat up the Romans.

After all, Liu Bian has already snatched what he should shoot.

He is about to leave now, let the Christians bear the revenge of the Romans.

At this time, Alexios I, the monarch of the Papal State of Egypt, had already arrived in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the Romans are coming. Can you leave later and help us repel the Romans?"

Alexios I panicked.

The current Papal State of Egypt has gathered [-] troops, but most of them are all lack of training.

It is still very difficult to count on them to resist the horrified Roman legions.

"No, Alexios, my plan will not change. We will retreat according to the plan. As for the Romans, I believe that the [-] elite Han troops I left behind for you can help you defend Alexandria."

Liu Bian patted Alexios I on the shoulder, and then continued.

"The future of the Papal State of Egypt depends on you. If you can't repel Rome, it means that your God's will has not been implemented, and maybe you are a little impious."

For Liu Bian's words, Alexios I was very disappointed.

He was really a little afraid of the Roman legion.

Back then, the Roman legions slaughtered all the way in Egypt and Syria, and they conquered this place by bleeding the blood of all the people into rivers.

Now that the Romans are coming again, without the support of the Han army, Alexios I really has no confidence.

However, Liu Bian intends to die as a fellow Taoist and not as a poor Taoist.

You Christians are not a good thing either. It would be a good thing if more people were killed by the Romans.

"The elite and weapons I left behind in Alexandria can guarantee your breakout. If the battle is unfavorable, you can safely retreat to the south. I left a squadron and a fort there."

The retreat route left on the shore of the Red Sea is the way for those Han soldiers to return to the city.

After hearing this, Alexios felt a little more at ease.

For the combat power of the Han army, Alexios I still has confidence, and believes that he can lead himself out of the encirclement.

However, in his heart he wanted to defend the city of Alexandria and Egypt.

"Your Majesty, may I ask, is there a way for us to defend Egypt ourselves instead of fleeing?" Alexios I asked.

Liu Bian thought for a while, and really thought of an idea for him.

"Alexios, don't your believers all claim to be devout believers? Now that the Pope is in trouble, are they going to die?" Liu Bian said.

"They are all devout, but the Romans are terrible, and some people have no courage." Alexios said.

"That's not a problem. You can tell your congregants that resisting the Romans now is a glorious holy war, fighting for the kingdom of your God. Whoever wants to die in the battle will go directly to heaven. Whoever If he doesn’t die, then give him a land and become a knight.”
