After hearing that the two main armies of the Roman Empire were repulsed head-on by the Wu army, with heavy casualties, and finally the remnant soldiers had to withdraw from the Sicily River and retreated to the city of Seleucia, more than a dozen generals of the Parthian army were stunned.

Under the coercion and lure of the Roman Empire, Vologassis V, who surrendered the whole country, seemed to be scared out of his wits. Without saying a word, he withdrew his troops overnight, led his troops, withdrew from the resting area, and returned to Mesopotamia.

This action made Zhuge Liang and the others happy.

After defeating the main force of Caracalla, they actually suffered a lot of damage themselves. This battle can only be regarded as a tragic victory, so they have been worried about the movement of the Parthian army, but they haven't made any moves yet. The troops were withdrawn.

Vologassis V really cooperated and couldn't cooperate anymore.

In this way, Wu Jun naturally relaxed, and they had enough time to rest and arrange their defenses.

The lifelike golden dragon battle flag, which represents the symbol of the Great Wu Dynasty, is completely flying in the sky of the Anxi territory.

In this kind of cold winter weather, the Roman army suffered setbacks, and they would have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit. In addition, the Parthian army voluntarily retreated, and the morale of the army was turbulent. Naturally, there would be no chance to counterattack the rest of the territory.

The war situation was forced to enter a period of peace.

Zhang He and Tai Shici also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, which meant that they could finally have a safe new year this year.

But the powerful emperor Severus, who had just led his army back to the court on the battlefield of the British Isles and returned to Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, was furious.

"Waste is a bunch of useless waste!"

"It was in vain to recover the Parthian Empire, and even gave the Kingdom of Armenia to Vologassis, and incorporated the Parthian Legion to help them!"

"With such a defeat, the sacred and inviolable honor of my Roman Empire will be questioned!"

"If we can't win on the battlefield, our knights will lose control of the empire!"

Severus felt that the sacred and inviolable majesty of the Roman Empire was being compromised, and he felt that his right to rule was being relaxed, so he was full of anger.

In his rage, he personally slaughtered tens of thousands of barbarian captives who were captured in the Battle of Britain. Even under the main gate of the city of Rome, the entire city of Rome was bleeding like a river that day.

Countless people in the city of Rome can remember this scene, and thus become in awe of Severus, the emperor of the empire.

Severus is using his brutal and bloody way to tell the people of the entire Roman Empire that the Roman Empire in the Severus era was a powerful era, and the failure of this battle will never be allowed to bring any negative emotions to the Roman warriors.

At the same time, as the emperor of the Roman Empire, he never showed favoritism, so under the control of the situation, he personally ordered the dismissal of the Governor of Caracalla Mesopotamia, and was escorted to Rome for trial for malfeasance.

The ruthless means combined with the performance of impartiality and impartiality not only won the support of many Roman civilians, but also won the support of some consuls in the Senate.

In the defeat of this battle, Severus' methods quickly stabilized the low tide of resistance within the Roman Empire, and once again stabilized the dominance of the Roman Empire in the Severus era.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the military spirit of the Mesopotamian province, Severus once again dispatched his most beloved youngest son, Geta, as the governor of the Mesopotamian province, commanding the Crusades and the Jagged Legion. And the newly established Parthian Legion.

The three-step response turned a defeat into his influence in ruling Rome, which once again demonstrated Severus's old-fashioned and iron-fisted means.

The only one sacrificed was Caracalla.

When leaving the city of Seleucia, Caracalla didn't say anything, and didn't even go to see the generals of the two legions, because he had to bear the defeat of this battle by himself.

When he left alone, he just looked back at the city indifferently, and reminded himself: "I am the most powerful warrior in the Roman Empire, and I will not let them defeat me, Easterners, you give me Wait, I, Caracalla, will definitely come back!"

After Caracalla left, Geta, who was only 16 years old, quickly assumed the position of governor of Mesopotamia. At the same time, he also insisted on his status as the inspector of the three major legions, and adjusted the deployment of troops against the Wu army.

Although Geta is young, he has been brought by Severus all the year round. He is a precocious boy who does things very maturely and does not act too much. His personality is softer than Caracalla. I chose to show weakness.

On the second day after taking over as governor of Mesopotamia, he ordered all Roman soldiers to retreat fifty miles to let go of the stalemate under the stalemate of the Wu army.

Naturally, there was a relatively loose boundary line between the two armies, so that the atmosphere on both sides suddenly softened, and there was no reaction of swords being tense and wanting to fight but not fighting.

In this way, time passed drop by drop, passing through the first year of Tianquan, the first year after the Great Wu Fengchan, and quietly entering the second year of Tianquan.

……

Tianquan two years.

Jinling City.

After surviving the cold winter, this city, known as the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, soon entered the season of early spring. The ice and snow in the streets and alleys were melting silently, everything rejuvenated, and the grasses revived. The blossoming buds are condensed and ready to bloom.

Having survived the most difficult first year of Tianquan, the vitality of the entire Central Plains is beginning to gradually recover, and the Wu Dynasty has become the overlord of the Central Plains, and it has the potential to soar into the sky.

Dawu 51 states have basically stabilized.

Whether it is people's livelihood or finances, they are gradually recovering.

But at this time, a major event suddenly happened in the north, which alarmed the entire Wu court.

At the beginning of February, the dragon raised its head, and Jinling City has entered the early spring, but the grassland is still in a world of ice and snow. However, during the entire ice season, Liu Bao, the wise king of the Xiongnu, suddenly led a hundred thousand cavalry, taking advantage of Beidi County and Hetao. When the power of Beizhou, which was integrated with the land, was changing, they invaded Beizhou in one go.

The Wu army stationed in Beizhou was in a hurry and was unprepared. It was quickly defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

The Xiongnu iron cavalry became more and more aggressive. They crisscrossed the cities of Beizhou, all the way south, burning, killing and looting a lot. Not only did they seize the food stored by the Governor's Mansion of Beizhou to open up Hetao, but they also plundered tens of thousands of people.

When the whole news was sent back to Jinling City, the ruling and opposition parties were shaken.

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty, let me personally lead my troops to the north to crush the Xiongnu, in order to avenge the [-] soldiers of my Flying Tiger Legion!"

In the imperial study room, Lu Bu's burly body bowed his head and knelt down, his eyes were red, veins burst out on his face, and endless killing intent was suppressed in his voice.

The Xiongnu iron cavalry went south, the first encounter was a regiment of the Flying Tigers, the first regiment of the third division of the Eighth Army of the Flying Tigers, three thousand soldiers defended a small town in Huangsha, facing [-] Huns, but did not retreat half One day and one night of bloody battles, the entire army was wiped out, from the regiment commander down to the small soldiers, and none of them survived.

This incident can be regarded as completely motivating Lu Bu, the little tiger.

Who is Lu Bu?

He is a tiger that cannot be challenged.

He was born in Jiuyuan, and his reputation for being brave is basically because he killed the Huns. He has not sent troops yet, but the Huns dared to send troops to strangle one of his regiments, which made him feel very angry.

Is it because he has been away from the grassland for so long that people have forgotten his mighty Lu Bu?

If this is the case, then he doesn't mind killing them again on the grassland, until they are timid, until they exterminate their clan, and until they dare not forget Lu Bu's name for the rest of their lives.

"The blood debt must be repaid with blood, but we need to be calm about this matter. Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the western battlefield. The limit of our court's tolerance is already the limit. What I need to know now is why the Huns chose to go south at this time?"

Sun Quan's body was sitting on top of the head, his face was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his amber eyes: "Even if they want to fight Caogu, it should be the season of autumn and winter, not this time!"

The Huns are, after all, the first grassland nation.

They have been standing on the grasslands for several centuries. Although their prestige from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period to Qin and Han Dynasties has declined recently, in terms of strength, they are still good.

They fought several battles with Wu Wei of the Central Plains before.

However, the Huns sent troops before to help the dispute between Wu and Wei. Several tribal leaders of the Huns, one helped the Wu army and the other helped the Wei army.

However, in the following years, because of the fierce competition between Wu Jun and Wei Jun, the Xiongnu tribe was put aside.
