The Three Kingdoms

Pan Feng calmed down his emotions, and then said: "It is already scorching summer, and all the corpses must be burned. The ashes of the sacrificed corpses of our soldiers need to be preserved well. They are glorious martyrs who fought for the Great Wu. They need to be burnt." Transport it back to the Central Plains and enter the martyrs cemetery!"

"promise!"

Chen Gong nodded heavily, then left to arrange matters.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the victory report has been listed, please have a look!" Zhuge Liang rode up, then jumped off the horse, and handed him a prepared report.

"Rewritten!"

Pan Feng thought for a while and said.

"why?"

"Give me a favor, Lu Meng!"

Pan Feng smiled: "You and I all know Lu Meng's hard work these years, because one of our orders made his efforts for several years go to waste, we need to give him an explanation!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Zhuge nodded brightly.

"There is one more thing!" Pan Feng glanced around, and there were closed houses everywhere, and said: "The cabinet probably won't take over Syria so soon, and according to the situation shown by His Majesty, there is a possibility that Syria will divide up the meritorious officials. Within a short period of time, I can only rely on my first war zone to maintain order. I can march and fight, but not for government affairs. They were the people of the Roman Empire before, and now they are also the people of Great Wu, and they need to be appeased!"

"Ok!"

Zhuge Liang is also considering this point, but this is tricky. After all, Wu Jun's reputation in the Roman Empire has already been completely discredited by the Roman Empire. The entire empire believes that the intruder is a demon.

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely do my best to appease these people. Starting from Syria, we will change the image of our soldiers in the Wu army, and we will never allow any soldiers to ruin the reputation of our court!" Zhuge Liang still has this ability, he He was originally a super talent with both military and political skills.

June 29.

After leaving the province of Syria, Alvilli led the Roman army all the way northward, entering the province of Antioch from the province of Mesopotamia, but the Eagle Legion guarding the Tigris River sent troops to ambush.

An encounter battle lasted for a day and a night, and both of them withdrew their troops when they each suffered about [-] casualties.

On June [-], the Crusaders suddenly sent their main force south.

On July [-], Zhou Yu personally led his troops to fight the main force of the Crusaders.

On July [-], the Sea Eagle Legion let go of the defense line of the Tigra River, and the Roman army quickly crossed the river to join the reinforcements of the Crusaders.

On July [-]th, Orville's army, together with the Crusaders, engaged the Second Theater.

On July [-]th, after a day of fighting, Olveri suddenly led his troops to attack at night. He led the main force of the army to defeat the soldiers and horses in the second theater for [-] miles, then turned his troops and retreated to Antioch.

On the 130th and [-]th, Zu Mao and Zhou Yu led the main force of the Second War Zone to retreat from Antioch and return to Mesopotamia. They retreated a full [-] miles and camped on the border between Mesopotamia and Antioch.

On the northern front of the western theater, after the main force of the first and second theaters of the Wu Army fought against the Roman army, both sides suffered a lot of casualties, and they all began to recuperate and maintain a stable confrontation.

After the Roman army retreated to Antioch, there was no change. After all, they suffered heavy casualties in this battle and were still licking their wounds.

So the two sides maintained a temporary calm.

On the [-]th and [-]th, the results of the Syrian campaign had not yet been sent back to Chang'an City, but had already been sent back to Rome by the fast horses of the Roman knights.

The city of Rome was full of fame.

"Our brave knights were defeated by the devil!"

"Syria is lost!"

"impossible!"

"The great Roman Empire cannot possibly be defeated!"

"I have had hundreds of years of glory in the Roman Empire, God, I don't believe we will fail!"

Countless nobles in the empire and countless people in the city of Rome, when the news came back, they were all talking and couldn't believe it.

Palatine Hill.

Roman palace.

In the pantheon.

Severus stood piously in front of the statues of Roman mythology. His face was very haggard. In just a few months, he seemed to be countless old. The white hair between his temples emerged, and he was wearing a golden emperor's robe. It is impossible to hide his somewhat hunchbacked body.

"Oh, God!"

He muttered to himself: "Why do you treat the great Roman Empire like this!"

Since the defeat of Hadrian's Wall, he has been praying in this pantheon, praying that God can see the current state of the Roman Empire.

"His Majesty!"

Friedrich walked in with light steps.

"What bad news!" Severu opened his eyes with a faint voice.

"Olveri lost!"

Friedrich sighed: "He agrees with your strategy!"

"How did you lose?" Severus' eyes burst into surprise.

"The soldiers and horses of the Eastern Devils ambushed soldiers and horses in the sea area of ​​Rome, broke through the defense of our Italian army, landed from the west bank of Damascus city, and defeated the defense line of the three major armies of Olveri in one fell swoop, but he was defeated without a fight. , can only lead the main force to withdraw from Syria, turn to the Crusades, and return to Antioch!"

"Yuri!"

Severus' pupils burst out with a cold light of Xiao Sha, and he said without hesitation: "Take him down, the empire doesn't need losers!"

"Your Majesty, the Senate is already dissatisfied with you, if..." Friedrich hesitated.

"so what!"

Severus' domineering arrogance still exists, and the Senate is just a dispensable decoration in his eyes. He doesn't care about the group of nobles in the Senate who don't even have any troops in their hands.

What he needs are knights, knights who can fight for the empire.

"Take down Yuri, then instigate them, let them coup. Since Alveli has failed, the empire can only fight with its back. I need to return to the embrace of God!"

Severus said firmly: "Order, all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized will be broken into pieces, march day and night, and mobilize as much as possible to return to the city of Rome!"

"Yes!"

Friedrich nodded with serious eyes and serious face.
