The Three Kingdoms

"I heard that during the first battle in Damascus, the Huns suffered a lot of casualties. How is the recovery now?"

"It has almost recovered. After the end of the Damascus war, a group of Xiongnu recruits were sent from the northwest camp to supplement them. Jia Xu has been training hard these days, and he should have [-] to [-]% of his combat effectiveness!"

Pang Tong replied: "Jia Wenhe still has his own way. His ability to appease the army cannot be underestimated. Even if the casualties are heavy, he can still stabilize the Xiongnu army. Now the Xiongnu soldiers have a sense of belonging to the court!"

"Oh?"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the amber crystal eyes exuded a touch of brilliance: "Let's hear it!"

"On the same battlefield, when the two armies are fighting, no one can be a lone hero. You and I support each other to survive on the battlefield. After the first battle, we will naturally establish a lot of friendship with each other!" Pang Tong said carefully. : "With Jia Xu's deliberate guidance, among the Huns, the hostility towards the imperial court has gradually weakened, and now the governance on the prairie is also flourishing. With the strength of the Northwest camp, there is no large-scale freezing and starvation in winter, and the established pastures have also sold horses and sheep to the Central Plains, making life a lot richer. These Huns sent letters from the families of the soldiers, It is best to melt their hostility and let them return to the court!"

"This is very good!"

Sun Quan laughed, and said: "It was not in vain to send generals like Xu Shu to go to the Northwest Grassland to endure hardships, and it's time to call them back soon!"

"Doing things for His Majesty, there is no such thing as suffering. Your Majesty is for the common people of the world. When we wait for Your Majesty, we are working hard for the common people of the world!" Pang Tong took a step back and cupped his hands.

"You're a good ass!"

Sun Quan pondered for a while, and said: "Since the Hun army has almost recovered, let them make a move, let Jia Xu personally lead an army of cavalry, take a back route, and see if we can break the blockade of the Parthian army and surprise Byzantium. City-state, if we can take down the city-state of Byzantium, we can isolate the city of Antioch and surround him for ten days and half a month, so we probably don’t need to fight so miserable!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is little hope!"

Pang Tong shook his head and said: "Since Alveli wants to defend Antioch, he will not pay insufficient attention to his rear. The Byzantine city-state is his only reliance. He even put the Parthian army here, isn't it for Prevent us, even if the Parthian army can't fight a tough battle because of the sudden change of blood, and defends the city, it won't let our army be defeated!"

"Always try!" Sun Quan strolled down the hillside leisurely and walked towards the imperial tent of the big camp: "I guess there is no hope at sea. The strength of Zhou Tai's army alone cannot break through the Italian army. Lu Meng's skeleton It will take several months for the Legion to go into battle!"

"The last general obeys orders!" Pang Tong knew that Sun Quanyi had made up his mind and quickly nodded his head.

"What's the news from Egypt?" Sun Quan suddenly stopped and asked.

"I don't know yet!"

Pang Tong followed behind and also stopped: "The previous news was still fighting in Jerusalem. Commander Zhao Yun led the main force to defend the city. Han Dang and Lu Xun each led an army and cut off the two wings. They intended to force the Augustus Legion to retreat. Egypt, and then take advantage of the situation to fight back!"

"good idea!"

A gleam flashed across Sun Quan's eyes: "How is Lu Xun doing?"

"This is a general!" Pang Tong said: "I tell you that Zhao Yun trusts him very much, and even discusses with him on all matters in the army. , I’m afraid it’s running out!”

"Talent is the future of an imperial court. Our generation will grow old sooner or later. If we want to continue the prosperity of Great Wu, we need a steady stream of talents. Lu Xun is a talent not inferior to Lu Meng. I hope Zhao Yun can cultivate come out!"

Sun Quan enjoined: "Actually, the young generation in the army has produced a large number of outstanding talents. Now it is the world of young people. Let us pay close attention to it. In this way, you will personally send someone to set up a copy for the outstanding young men of each army. File, and then hand it over to the Military Aircraft Department, let the Military Aircraft Department discuss it, promote these talents without leaving a trace, and train them well. If the current battle goes well, this will be the last time Da Wu uses millions of soldiers The large-scale decisive battle between horses and horses is such a great opportunity, let them play well, this is the stage for their strength!"

Many people who read the Three Kingdoms only look at the talents in the early period of the Three Kingdoms. In fact, there are also many talents in the latter Three Kingdoms. The civil war in the Central Plains has exhausted the talents of the early Three Kingdoms. Next, if it can be cultivated and then reused, it will surely create a prosperous and peaceful world for the Great Wu Dynasty.

"The last will obey!"

When Pang Tong heard this, his face was serious, and he said flatteringly: "Your Majesty has worked hard for the imperial court, and his long-term vision is far behind that of the last generals!"

"Stop saying such nice things!"

Sun Quan smiled and waved his hands: "Let's do things. After today's battle is over, go and appease Ma Chao and Tai Shici. Since they are desperate, we can't turn a blind eye to them. After all, they will pay casualties. Without a word of comfort, it's not justified!"

"promise!"

Pang Tong didn't procrastinate, and directly surrendered and took orders.

Sun Quan is basically a one-sentence kung fu. For him, it is a job that breaks his legs. This is the difference between a king and a courtier.

After Pang Tong left, Sun Quan returned to the imperial account.

The Imperial Tent is a small imperial study room, and the officials of the imperial study room are processing the memorials from all parties, and then gathered in the hands of Shi Zhugejin, the left staff officer of the imperial study room and the head of the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, the memorial from China!" Zhuge Jin walked over.

"Is there something important?"

Sun Quan sat down lazily, picked up his teacup, took a sip of clear tea, and said.

"Your Majesty, the matter is not a big one, but these are all decisions made by the court, and His Majesty must personally review them!" Zhuge Jin said.

"The cabinet is becoming more and more cautious. I feel that Zhang Zhao and the others are becoming less and less courageous. Even trivial things are put in the imperial study room. What use do I want them to be!"

Sun Quan had no choice but to put down his teacup, picked up the golden brush, and began to flip through the memorials. These memorials were all sent by the cabinet, and there were many big and small things. These things were not big or small, but Sun Quan had to make a final decision.

Although it is said that the imperial council established by Sun Quan, the power is still in the hands of Sun Quan.

Before completing the campaign against Rome, he would never let go of his power. Putting power down in the court council, the establishment of the court council was a reform of the court system for him. He still completely controlled the affairs of the court. The imperial court and parliament control, but this is also a manifestation of dictatorship.

This also led to him having to devote himself to the busy reading of memorials every day.

"Ziyu, how about I loosen the reins for the cabinet a little bit?" Sun Quan said suddenly.

It was too exhausting for him to review the memorials like this, and he had nothing to do.

"Your Majesty, I believe that under the current situation, it is still not easy for Your Majesty to delegate power to the cabinet!"

Zhuge Jin shook his head: "Your Majesty is not a power-hungry person, but your Majesty is clear about the current situation. The campaign to conquer Rome is now reaching a critical point. As far as I know, there are no people in the cabinet who oppose the conquest. A few, most of the officials in the cabinet are Confucian scholars, they may see a brilliant future, but from the bottom of their hearts, they prefer to send Confucian knowledge and oppose military conquest!"

"That's a good statement!"

Hearing this, Sun Quan felt as if he had been discouraged by the ball, and had no choice but to accept his fate. He lay down under the desk and began to review the memorials.

One day passed.

The deafening battle sounds outside also subsided, and the storm that lasted for a day stopped temporarily...

[Chapter 470 of the main text Knocking on the Gate of the Roman Empire II]

The night is dark, the stars and the moon are dark.

in the city.

Under the bleak night, torches were held up one after another, and the light of the torches shone on the city wall that was already full of holes, clearly illuminating the expressions on the faces of every soldier.

"Retreat, retreat, the Eastern Demon retreats!"

"This cruel day, we finally endured it!"

"Eastern demons have retreated, we blocked their attack, God still favors our great Roman Empire!"

"Harvey, Harvey, wake up, God, why did you take away my best brother, the Eastern Devil, so cruelly, I will kill you all!"

"Damn devil, kill hundreds of warriors under my command, my blood is burning, I want to fight you to the death!"

"Darkness cannot defeat light. God has begun to open his eyes. He is watching us fight bravely. The great Roman Empire is undefeated. We will definitely defeat them!"
