The Three Kingdoms

Now he was about to send troops to Rome, but he heard that Severus was dead.

This is also a bit too coincidental.

In other words, happiness came too fast, he couldn't believe it.

"Zhao Feng, are you Jin Yiwei sure about this news?" Sun Quan stared at Zhao Feng with sharp eyes like a knife blade.

"Your Majesty, I am in Dunhuang Prefecture and have never rushed to the west, but the news of my Jinyiwei must have been verified countless times, and the news is sent by the Governor himself, so it must have been verified by the Governor. The Governor is cautious. If he is not [-]% or [-]% sure, he will not dare to disturb His Majesty!"

"This statement is true!"

Sun Quan also knew Li Ru, he was a cautious person, so that every mistake in his information was accurate.

But he still has a little heart.

"Fengxian, Fengxiao, Shiyuan, and Ziyu stay here, and everyone else retreats!" Sun Quan waved his hand to make everyone retreat from the city wall, and then passed the message note in his hand to the four of them for a look: "This is Li Wen Yu personally sent the message back!"

"Severus is dead, is this news sure?"

"Lost the coach before the battle?"

"What a coincidence?"

"Death of illness, no, a coup d'état, at this time, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit tricky!"

The eyes of the four people swept over and their hearts were shaken.

"How do you think the news is true?" Sun Quan asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I think it might be a trap?"

"Trap?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What kind of trap!"

"The trap that lures our army to go deep!" Zhuge Jin said.

"Shi Yuan!"

"I am a little uncertain. If it is a trap, then the Roman Empire has paid too much. After all, once Severus dies, Rome will inevitably suffer civil strife and greatly damage its own national strength. How can such an unwise thing be done! "

"Follow first!"

"No matter what, advancing troops is the only thing we do!" Lu Bu's answer is always so domineering: "If it's a trap, just go in and smash it!"

"Bong Xiao!" Sun Quan pouted

"Your Majesty, I believe that whether this matter is true or not depends on what happens next. If the two sons of Severus mess up and fight, it must be true, otherwise it may be a bitter plan!"

Guo Jia was very vague.

Sun Quan listened very seriously, thought for a while, and shouted: "Zhao Feng!"

"The minister is here!" Zhao Feng quickly walked up from under the city wall.

"Let Jin Yiwei pay close attention to the reactions of Caracalla and Geta, as well as the movement of the Roman army. In addition, pass on my order. Before I arrive at the western battlefield, I will cancel the battle card and temporarily cease fighting!"

"promise!"

"Lu Fengxian!"

"The end is here!"

"Go at full speed and rush to the western battlefield as soon as possible!"

A scorching flame that could burn the world appeared in Sun Quan's eyes. If this news is true, then this is an excellent opportunity bestowed on the Great Wu Dynasty by God, and he does not want to let this opportunity go away.

[Text Chapter 450 Silk Road]

The Silk Road, referred to as the Silk Road, refers to the Western Han Dynasty (202-8 years ago), opened by Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions, starting from Chang'an (now Xi'an), passing through Gansu, Xinjiang, to Central Asia, West Asia, and connecting Overland passages across the Mediterranean countries.Chinese

Because the main traffic on this road is the silk produced in the Central Plains, so it is called the Silk Road.

The Silk Road is notoriously desolate, mostly deserts and sand dunes

Ever since the Great Wu Dynasty conquered the Kingdom of Wei and unified the Central Plains, it has already focused on the west, and naturally began to vigorously develop the Silk Road.

The investment of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households is huge every year.

Coupled with the support of the five states in the west, this road has been initially connected, allowing caravans and troops to flow smoothly.

The Silk Road experienced two roads from Yumen Pass and Yang Pass to the Western Regions.

From Shanshan, near Nanshan Mountain to the north, and the Bo River westward, to Shache is the south road, and the south road crosses Congling to the west, leading to Dayuezhi and Anxi, from Cheshiqian Wangting (today's Turpan), following Beishan, and Bo River westward To Shule (now Kashgar) is the North Road.Beyond Congling in the west of the North Road, there are Dawan, Kangju, and Yancai (between the Black Sea and the Aral Sea).There are two important forks on the North Road: one is from Yanqi to the southwest, passing through the Taklamakan Desert to Khotan on the South Road; Turn over Badaling (Beilili Mountain Pass), pass through Chigu City (the capital of Wusun), and go west to Talas.

In this Lu, there are countless deserts, and countless Songshan Mountains, and countless hardships and dangers.

On this day, Sun Quan personally led the army and embarked on this road.

Sun Quan's first feeling when he walked into this Silk Road was strangeness.

It was the first time for him to walk the Silk Road in his past and present lives. Although the Silk Road has invested a lot and vigorously developed it, there are still countless desolate places, and sometimes they can’t be seen for more than ten miles. Inhabited.

Here, water has become an important resource.

The consumption of the Central Army Corps of the Wu Army and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Imperial Guard is an astronomical figure, which has become the biggest difficulty for the generals of the Wu Army to march.

"Your Majesty, we have consumed a lot of water!" Zhuge Jin reported in a place in the desert.

"Can you enter Xizhou?"

Sun Quan asked.

Xizhou is an important link to connect with the west, which is the former Protectorate of the Western Regions.

"It is estimated that it will be difficult. The food and drink of the 20 main force is a big deal. If we can't find the oasis, many soldiers will encounter more tragic problems because of this desert!" Zhuge Jin smiled wryly.

It was also the first time for him to walk the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions.

Although the Ministry of Housing and Industry has been building this Silk Road, it cannot be completely penetrated after all, and some lost deserts have become dead zones on this road.

"Advance as soon as possible. In addition, if you send scouts out, you must find the oasis that replenishes the water source as soon as possible!" Sun Quan rode his horse and a camel, looking around at the golden deserts around him.

"promise!"

Zhuge Jin nodded, and continued to issue orders to let the soldiers and horses advance faster.

Running for several days, still in the wind and sand, had exhausted all the soldiers, but at this time, in order to cross the Silk Road, Sun Quan had no choice but to speed up his pace cruelly.

"It's no wonder that so few people have entered the Western Regions. Such an area is simply a barren hell. If it wasn't for some repairs, it would be impossible for people to pass through this dangerous area!"
