The Three Kingdoms

He remembered that the Roman Empire should have split after Severus.

However, the Roman Empire is a powerful empire no less than the Han Dynasty. It is impossible to say that there are no famous generals. Severus can unify a divided Rome, and there are definitely no fewer arrogant soldiers under his command. (To be continued.)

[The first thousand and 290 chapters of the text under the third chapter of the Western Expedition Strategy]

In the imperial study room, Sun Quan came out from behind the imperial case, paced back and forth in front of the hall, his face was gloomy, and his brows were wrinkled into the word Sichuan.

He wasn't angry about his defeat in this battle.

As the so-called battlefield confrontation, success or failure is inevitable. There is no army that is always invincible. One or two defeats are enough for the Great Wu Dynasty. Injury, can not hurt vitality.

What worried Sun Quan was his unfamiliarity with the Roman Empire.

He thought too simple before, Wu Jun is strong, as long as the army is launched, it can drive straight in, destroy Rome, conquer the entire West, dominate the world, and achieve a peerless hegemony that has never been seen before or since.

But how can it be so easy.

The Roman Empire can stand in the whole of the West, and its history is longer than that of the Han Dynasty. Whether it is economic background or military combat effectiveness, it is extraordinary.

The most important thing is not to understand.

Although Great Wu has been infiltrating Rome, in fact, the entire Great Wu Dynasty, including Sun Quan, did not know much about the system and army of the Roman Empire, and did not have much contact with it. In fact, Tai Shici's battle was actually The army of Wu fought against the army of Upper Rome for the first time.

And still lost.

Who are the famous generals in the Roman army, who are the wise men, how many legions, how many soldiers, and how many combat effectiveness, even Jin Yiwei has not many records.

On the battlefield, the emphasis is on knowing yourself and the enemy in order to be victorious in every battle.

But the current Roman Empire is too unfamiliar to the Great Wu Dynasty.

Sun Quan is not afraid of a powerful opponent, but if Sun Quan is afraid, he will be a mysterious and unpredictable opponent.

At present, Sun Quan only knows that the emperor of the Roman Empire, Severus, is not a simple hero, but a powerful and powerful emperor who came from a soldier.

However, there are generals and counselors under Severu's command, which is too vague.

It can't go on like this.

"Feng Xiao!" Sun Quan stopped, raised his head, looked at Guo Jia on the left, and gave a low shout.

"Your Majesty!" Guo Jia quickly stood up.

He and Xu Shu are the chief historian and master book of the imperial study room, and also Sun Quan's staff advisor. The office is in the imperial study room, and he has been with Sun Quan to handle government affairs for many years.

"Tell Li Ru!"

"Yes!"

Guo Jia nodded and walked out. In less than an hour, he passed Li Rutong into the imperial study.

"Li Ru greets His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!"

Li Ru followed Guo Jia in. He was a little confused at first, but after he walked in, he cast a sidelong glance at Tai Shici and Zhou Tai who were standing tremblingly in front of the hall, and suddenly he had a bottom line in his heart, and quickly saluted Sun Quan.

"Li Ru, I want to know how far your Jin Yiwei have penetrated the Roman Empire?" Sun Quan looked at Li Ru and asked straight to the point.

"Roman Empire?"

When Li Ru heard this, he considered it in his heart, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, because there is a big difference in appearance between us Central Plains people and Roman Anxi people, so in fact, Jinyiwei's penetration of the Roman Empire was not very smooth. We can take advantage of the Guishuang people and the Parthian people to investigate the news of the Roman Empire from the side. We don’t know much. We don’t even know the current territory of the Roman Empire. How many soldiers and horses they have, how many navy troops they have , how many cavalry, how many infantry, those famous generals... are all blank!"

"So, about Rome, you Jin Yiwei also don't know anything about it!"

Sun Quan frowned, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

"Your Majesty, some time ago, Jin Yiwei's focus has been on dealing with Cao Wei. In addition, the territory of the Roman Empire is far away from our Central Plains. We have sent people and provided few resources. Naturally, the progress in this area is not good. It is very big, and the most important point is that we do not understand the language of the Romans and cannot communicate, even if we want to talk to each other, it will be difficult, and if we want to find out the news, it will be even more difficult!"

Li Ru said with some bitterness.

To deal with the Roman Empire is not to deal with the princes of the Central Plains. The language gap between the Central Plains people and the Romans is a deep gap that is difficult to bridge.

Although it is said that the country has begun to study the language of the Roman Empire, it is not easy to conquer it.

"All right!"

Sun Quan waved his hand. He somewhat understood Li Ru's difficulties. It is a thousand times more difficult to infiltrate Rome than the princes of the Central Plains. But if you don't force this old Yin man, he is the most lazy: "Li Ru Confucianism, don't complain to me, I don't intend to punish you Jinyiwei, but from now on, Jinyiwei must put all the focus on the Roman Empire, I don't want the main force of our Great Wu to rush to During the battle in the Western Regions, he became a blind man and a deaf man, do you know that?"

"Yes!"

Li Ru hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice to express his holy intention of comprehension, his eyes rolled around, looking at Tai Shici and Zhou Tai, a plan came to his mind.

"General Taishi, I heard that you have many prisoners of the Roman army, is that right?"

Li Ru suddenly took a step forward and asked in a low voice beside Tai Shici.

"Yes!" Tai Shici nodded when he heard the words: "After several battles, although we were defeated, we also captured many Roman soldiers. Cheng, are you useful?"

"it works!"

Li Ru hurriedly said: "I will go to your house to talk in person at night!"

After finishing speaking, he resigned and left the imperial study room, and seized the time to prepare the plan to infiltrate the Roman Empire.

In the imperial study room, it was a little quiet.

Tai Shici and Zhou Tai were still a little cautious in the face of the uncertain Sun Quan.

After Sun Quan asked Li Ru to retreat, he pondered for a long time before speaking: "I won't pursue the defeat in this battle. After all, we are defeated. It seems that we left too hastily before. As for the Roman Empire, we We have to slow down, but the west cannot always be peaceful. The Parthian Empire, we must take it first. We cannot let Rome eat up the Parthian Empire. We regard the territory of the Parthian Empire as a bridgehead to defend us. We must attack Rome with the main force. Before the empire, the Parthian Empire was conquered, the position of the Parthian Empire is too important, I don’t want the main force of the Wu army to march west to Rome, and there is a knife stuck in the waist behind, so that we can’t advance or retreat!”

"Your Majesty, the vitality of our Western Expeditionary Corps has been seriously injured. Most of the Sea Eagle Corps' combat power is on the sea. Landing operations will cause too much damage, which is not conducive to naval operations. Moreover, the Parthian Empire is now relying on the Roman Empire. The main force must be Withdraw from the Mesopotamia region to the northeast and southeast of the east, and defend our two legions. There are Roman troops in the Mesopotamia region. Once we have the right to attack Anxi, the Roman army will inevitably move, so that we will be attacked back and forth. !"

Xu Shu put down the writing pen in his hand, and suddenly said, "It's really irrational to attack the Anxi Empire at this time!"

"But this breath, I can't take it. We have always been the only ones who are Yin in Wu, but now our Wu army has been given a black hand by the Anxi Army. I still want to take this tone back, Ziyi, what do you think?"

Sun Quan looked at Tai Shici.

"Your Majesty, what Xu Changshi said is right, this battle is not easy!"

Tai Shici nodded, but there was a hint of hostility in the depths of his eyes: "But it's not impossible to fight. We want to take Anxi, and it's not impossible. Although our Western Expeditionary Corps has suffered a lot of damage, its fundamental combat power is still the same. Yes, and we can recruit young men from Guishuang and the cities of the Western Regions to supplement the strength of the legion. If there is sufficient food, grass and weapons and armor, we will be able to restore combat effectiveness in three months. If the Sea Eagle Legion can enter the United States by sea In the Mesopotamia area, we don’t need to fight the Roman army, we just need to hold them. Once the Roman army is in the Mesopotamia area, we can attack Anxi. , We and Rome have already consumed more than [-]%, I am sure I can destroy Anxi!"

The battle in the land of Mesopotamia was considered to be the worst battle he lost for Tai Shici, and he also wanted to get back a lottery from the Parthian Empire.

"Youping, what about you?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan thought about it, looked at Zhou Youping, and asked, "Are you confident?"

"If it's just to contain the Roman army, the Sea Eagle Legion's long-range attack from the sea should be able to contain the Roman army, suppress them in the Mesopotamia region, and prevent them from entering the Parthian Empire!"
