Saint Qin Batu

"You also told them that a large amount of silk was robbed by the Parthians?"

"Of course, otherwise, what would I do with those fine silks?"

"Hahaha!" Fusu suddenly laughed, "It seems that General Anthony, we have a common language!"

"It's not a common language, but a common interest!" Anthony shook his head and said.

That's right, Yingzheng wanted to go west, so he ruled out Fusu.And Anthony wants to continue the Eastern Expedition and expand his influence.The two coincide.

But Antony was equally aware of the natural opposition between the senate and the consuls.He is a consul, so if he wants to go east, especially when the Parthians have gathered a large number of troops on the border, the Senate will never let him attack easily.

But now, when Anthony was really dozing off, Fusu brought the pillow over.

As for whether the people in the Senate would go to war because of silk, Anthony did not dare to guarantee 100%, but he was sure that at this moment, most people in the Senate were already moved.

After all, they opposed the attack for their own interests before, and now they will naturally support the attack for their own interests.

"Since this is the case, then Fusu will no longer hide it. There is a piece of news that the general will be very interested in." Fusu stood up and walked towards Anthony.

463章 安息危机

Fusu was somewhat surprised by Anthony's ambition, but what surprised Fusu even more was the attitude of those high-level officials in the Roman Republic.

When Fusu told Antony the news that Arshak, the king of kings, was seriously ill, Antony immediately cheered up.Immediately, people were sent immediately to return to Rome.

And Fusu also took this opportunity to recommend Li Si to Anthony.

Anthony had long wanted to make an alliance with Qin, so he was more than happy to clear the way for Li Si.

Just over ten days later, another news came from Rome, and the news was extremely simple.

"As soon as possible, form an alliance with Qin."

Of course, this alliance is not just a simple military alliance.The same is true in business.

It is different from Qin, or Huaxia, which is based on agriculture.It can be said that Rome has a very prosperous commercial foundation.

But this time, the reason why Rome’s high-level leaders agreed to Anthony’s proposal so quickly was that apart from the fact that the supreme consul urgently needed war to expand his prestige, the Senate, which controlled most of the commercial resources, also hoped to get Qin, who was extremely commercially valuable, as soon as possible. Chinese silk.

Interests have led to a delicate balance between the Consul and the Senate, which were still divided.

Facing the attitude of Rome's top management, Fusu was naturally overjoyed.Almost without the slightest hesitation, the so-called alliance was concluded with Anthony.

Fusu's straightforwardness made Anthony feel a little twisted.Does Fusu, who is just an envoy, have such great power to decide the war between the two countries?

However, Fusu's status as the eldest son made Anthony finally bury the doubt in his heart.

Fusu, who had won the alliance, immediately arranged for Wuqing to lead several soldiers and start to go to Andong County of Qin State overnight, which was the former province of Marchianna.

Among Taixifeng, as the capital of the Anxi Empire, although the prosperity here is not as prosperous as Xianyang or Rome, it is still one of the top cities.

In the city, there was an endless stream of traveling businessmen, who seemed to be enjoying this rare peace and prosperity.And almost all of this comes from their King of Kings, Arshak.

However, what they didn't know was that their founding King of Kings was already terminally ill and had been bedridden for more than half a year.

And almost all the government affairs in the past six months fell on his eldest son, the future Arshak II.As for military affairs, it was well-deservedly led by Xerxes.

However, compared to the seasoned Xerxes, Arshak II is still a little immature.

Perhaps it was also because Arshak I was too sharp that his son received too little experience.This point is slightly similar to that of Qin.

Although Arshak II, with the help of Xerxes, firmly controlled the news that his father was seriously ill.However, there are still many high-level people who know about it.

Among these high-level people, there are many ambitious people.And this person is the younger brother of Arshak I, Tiridadi.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

In the quiet palace, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.Arshak II, who was dealing with government affairs, frowned slightly.

He had already ordered that people in the palace were not allowed to make too much noise, and those who violated it would be executed.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! It's not good, the Qin Kingdom in the east has begun to attack the ancient Maria dynasty!" A man with the appearance of a servant said, kneeling on the ground when he saw Arshak II.

"Let General Xerxes enter the palace!" Arshak II's face changed, but he was not too flustered.

Soon, Xerxes came to the palace.More than half a year has passed since the battle with the Qin army, and Xerxes, who was already extremely old, has gradually shown his withered face.

The defeat in the east caused a lot of damage to his majesty.In addition, Arshak I completely lost his mind during that time, and Tiridadi took advantage of the situation to seize his military power.

Fortunately, Xerxes had been powerful for a long time, and it was impossible for Tiridadi to really pose too much threat to him.

"Your Highness." Xerxes looked older, but his voice became louder and louder.

"General, you should also know that the people of Qin are attacking again." Although Arshak II's tone was dignified, he was not too flustered.

"This was expected a long time ago. They worked hard on an expedition and built so many buildings in Marchiana, so they must want to have a stable rear. After so long, it's almost time..."

"I'm not too worried about the Qin people. Although they defeated us, it was because the dynasty's control over the east was too weak, and the army was not strong enough. Besides, the east is too barren, so if you lose it, you will lose it.

What I worry about is that if the Qin people and the Romans unite, at that time, fighting on both sides will be the biggest crisis in Anxi.No matter what, Anxi must not fight on both sides! "

Although Arshak II had never fought a war, he was more or less infected.

"Your Highness, you mean to fight the Romans before that?" Xerxes, the god of the Parthian army, quickly understood what Arshak II meant.

The east of the Parthian Empire is mostly mountainous.Good for defense, but not good for marching.However, to the west is a plain, where not only a large number of people and supplies have gathered, but also troops.

In contrast to Rome, although Damascus is large and strong enough, the ratio of population to soldiers in Damascus, which has been militarized, is seriously insufficient, and most of the logistics still rely on local support.

In order to avoid future two-front battles, it was the right decision for Anxi to take the initiative to send troops.

"Yes." Xerxes nodded after pondering for a moment.

"Then I will use my father's seal to order!"

Seeing that Xerxes agreed with his opinion, Arshak II was quite happy.

However, just as Arshak II was about to issue an order, Xerxes said coldly: "If the main force of the dynasty has left, how can we guarantee the safety of Your Majesty and Your Highness?"

Xerxes' words made him stop immediately.

"The Qin people are not as miserable as His Highness imagined. I lost so badly at the beginning, not only because the soldiers in the east were too incompetent."

Xerxes said as if exposing his own scars, which made Arshak II a little confused.

"If His Highness can pacify the hidden crisis in the country, this method is good. However, if Tiridade is not eliminated, this method is indeed not good."

"Really?" Arshak II was a little disappointed, but quickly asked: "Then what should we do?"
