The Three Kingdoms

"After Caracalla led the Iron Blood Legion to leave, within two days, Geta also hurriedly led the Apollo Legion to escape from Antioch!" Li Ru continued.

"So you think..."

"I believe that Severus is indeed dead, otherwise Caracalla and Geta would not dare to disregard the overall situation and lead their troops away from the front line and return to Rome!" Li Ru respectfully said: "They are already self-destructing the Great Wall, even if No matter how powerful Olveri is, he can't stop our attack, this is a great opportunity to conquer the Roman Empire in one fell swoop!"

[The first thousand and 450 chapters of the text are indecisive]

Li Ru's voice fell, and the hall was a little quiet. "W. [-]T

Sun Quan's eyes became a little bit colder, he stared at Li Ru's face, and said in a deep voice: "Old Li, you always make decisions before you act, and you always talk in half, why are you so sure this time? Are you afraid that this is a strategy of the Romans?"

Li Ru is the most insidious guy in Sun Quan's heart.

If Jia Xu is a poisonous man, he is a vicious wolf.

Fortunately, this wild wolf still has a heart that should not be loyal.

Otherwise, Sun Quan would never dare to use him.

Li Ru has always been very prudent in doing things, not even prudent anymore, he can be regarded as extremely cautious, no one can compare with prudence, if this is news that he has not repeatedly confirmed, he will never say such a thing affim.

In the past, even if he was very sure of the news, he would say it in a daze, but this time it surprised Sun Quan.

"Your Majesty, I have also been puzzled before. How dare I deal with such a big matter hastily? When I got the news, I immediately rushed to the city of Rome to confirm it myself. Only then did I get the clear news that the coup d'état was real, and the rebellion of the Guards was a real thing, and Severus' head was hung on the flagpole in the Roman Forum!"

"Combined with the reactions of Caracalla and Geta, this is already pretty much the same. Otherwise, how dare they ignore Antioch, the eastern gate of the Roman Empire?"

Li Ru knelt down quickly when he heard the words, and explained respectfully to Sun Quan: "This is a great opportunity for me, the generals of the Wu army. In this way, the Roman Empire will inevitably fall into a leaderless situation. Even if they can quell the civil strife, Kara Carla and Geta will also fight. If we can't seize this opportunity and wait for the Roman Empire to take a breather from this turmoil, it will be very unfavorable for our offensive in the future. The Roman Empire has tens of millions of people. How close is it but inferior to our Great Wu Dynasty, Friedrich and Alveli are relatively terrifying talents, as long as they are given time, they hold the military power and elect an emperor, they will have enough time to calm down Civil strife, now everyone in the entire Loama Empire has treated us Wu people as demons, fighting city by city, I am afraid that we will exhaust our entire strength, and it will be difficult to eat this empire with a profound foundation!"

Li Ru has been collecting intelligence in the Roman Empire for these years, and he has a deeper understanding of the Roman Empire than anyone else.

The generals of the Wu army have always been confident that they can conquer this empire, and Li Ru has never doubted this.

However, if the Wu army does not have a suitable opportunity, this battle will not end so easily in Li Ru's eyes, and it may even last for 30 to [-] years, or even half a century.

This is not alarmist talk, it is a fact.

It is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The Great Wu court has no prestige and people's hearts for the Roman Empire, and it is even more notorious.

Even if the Wu army had millions of troops, it was insignificant given the huge population of Rome.

Just like the Japanese invasion of China in the future, at the beginning, with a strong army, they can continue to win, but once they penetrate into it and the front line is stretched, problems will continue to be exposed.

You will find that there are enemies everywhere, the supply line is broken, and to occupy a city, you need to leave a part of the troops to guard it, resulting in insufficient troops... and countless other problems.

In the end, no matter how powerful soldiers and horses are, they will be dragged down.

This is the disadvantage of away games.

Wu Jun wanted to conquer what the Roman Empire could not avoid.

"What if it's a trap?"

Sun Quan was silent for a while, and had to admit Li Ru's words in his heart, even more than Li Ru thought, he had put himself in the position of Japan more than 700 years later, and he didn't want to repeat the defeat of the Japanese army, so he was more than anyone else. They all want to win the first battle, but as the spirit of millions of Wu Jun, his words and deeds are popular signs, and he must be praised for his absolute caution.

"Your Majesty, I have already thought about it. Even if it is a trap, I must take advantage of this opportunity to move forward, and I will fight like a tiger!"

Li Ru rarely showed the aura of giving up life and forgetting at all costs, and his voice was loud and brave: "Now that our army is gathering, we have no choice but to attack. Even if it is a trap, this is also a great opportunity. Chance to Conquer the Roman Empire!"

"This statement is true. Today, we have no choice!"

Sun Quan let out a long sigh and said, "But this battle is about the lives and deaths of millions of sons, so I have to be careful, and I need to think about it!"

The hall was quiet, Li Ru bowed his head, remained silent, waiting for Sun Quan's decision.

"Pass down my military orders!"

Sun Quan's eyes flickered, his thoughts were quiet for a long time, and he spoke after about a stick of incense: "The first war zone, the second war zone, and the fourth war zone, all the rewards at the rank of army commander and chief of staff rushed to Damascus city, I A pre-war discussion meeting must be held in Damascus!"

For such a major matter, he can't act arbitrarily, he needs the opinions of the soldiers in the army.

"I obey!" Li Ru nodded.

"Also, during this period of time, I need more news, such as changes in the city of Rome, such as the movement of the Council of Elders, and the response and deployment of troops from the major legions of the Roman Empire. It's clear!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Li Ru nodded again.

"Severus, whether it is real death or fake death, I will personally send you to meet your God this time. No one can stop my footsteps. This Roman Empire must surrender under the banner of Great Wu !"

Sun Quan's body was like a dragon, he stood up straight, fisted with both hands, and the amber crystal eyes exuded a light like a cold blade.

……

Afterwards, Sun Quan did not stay in Xizhou for a long time. With the battle situation so urgent, he could only continue on his way, heading towards the western front.

Ten days later, the main force of the Western Expedition led by Sun Quan entered Taixifeng.

Half a month later, the main force has already rushed to the city of Seleucia in Mesopotamia.

Along the way, Sun Quan was not in the mood to browse the scenery, but India and the Middle East 800 years ago still left a deep and indelible impression on him.

Looking at these cities that had already been planted with the banner of Wu Jinlong, Sun Quan felt very proud.

Throughout the ages, even Genghis Khan, the arrogant of heaven, cannot match his hegemony.

This also made his desire to conquer Rome very urgent.

************************

Antioch is a bit muggy in August.

With the departure of the Jagged Legion and the Apollo Legion, the military spirit in the Heart of Antioch began to become a little turbulent.

"Solo, do you think His Majesty is really dead?"

"Bruce, don't talk nonsense, hasn't the Pope already said that this is a rumor of the devil?"

"Hmph, not necessarily. Both Prince Caracalla and Prince Gaita led the confidant knights to leave. Isn't it just to return to Rome to fight for the position of the emperor?"

"How dare they be selfish, God will punish them!"

"Where is God, the devil is about to come in, why doesn't he open his eyes and see!"

"Banner, believe me, God has been watching us, God will not abandon us!"
