The Three Kingdoms

Severus's voice was bleak, but he was extremely firm: "With your efforts, the empire will become stronger and more glorious again!"

"Your Majesty, the last main force of the demon army is stationed between Antioch and the city-state of Byzantium!"

Aner, the first intelligence officer of the empire, was a little worried: "They have no intention of continuing to attack. Did we show our feet!"

"It's already winter!"

Severus got off the bed, pushed open the door, and walked up to the railing, holding the snowflakes falling from the sky in his hand: "After the cold winter, it is spring, Aner, you have to be patient, Olveri's death , it will not be in vain!"

"The minister is too impatient!"

Ann nodded.

"What you have to do now is to clean up all the spies from the east. I would rather kill them than let them go!" Severus said in a stern voice: "The empire has one last chance left, and I will never allow it. mistake!"

"I understand!"

"Go down!"

"Your Majesty, what about Robert and the others?" Aner thought for a while and asked again.

"Let them make trouble!"

Severus waved his hand, and a domineering demeanor was slowly angry: "I, Septimius Severus, are still here, and the empire will not be chaotic!"

As long as Wu Jun didn't step into his well-designed trap for a day, he wouldn't pay attention to these little things.

In his view, everything in Rome is a farce.

Let them make trouble, in order to confuse the judgment of the Orientals.

But if he wants to clean up the mess, he doesn't need much effort, as long as he shows up, everything in the city of Rome will be restored to its original state. This is the unique majesty of Severus in the empire.

"I'm sending you an order to make Claras prepare to abandon the Greek peninsula. I don't want the children to be trapped by wolves. The Italian peninsula is our final battleground, and here is everything that determines the outcome!"

Severus' voice was cold: "I will be here to shed the last drop of blood for the empire!"

"Yes!"

An Er looked solemn, and retreated after taking the order.

In the house, it became quiet again.

Severus stared at the east from a distance. He was fascinated by it, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently: "I am waiting for you, the enemy from the east, Zhongmou Sun!"

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

In the cold winter of December, the weather began to get colder and colder.

Byzantine city-state.

This ancient castle stands tall in the cold wind, and it blooms gracefully under the attack of the waves.

One month after the end of Antioch, Sun Quan had officially moved to the Byzantine city-state.

For Antioch, Sun Quan cared more about the Byzantine city-state.

The city of Antioch is more important than the Byzantine city-state nowadays, but it has completely declined in later generations, and even the ruins cannot be found, but Byzantium has become the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire in the future. It has become a center of the West.

The geographical location here is even more indisputable. It connects the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea, and is far away from the Greek Peninsula. Sooner or later, this place will become a center that cannot be ignored.

In the city, a palace.

Sun Quan was wrapped in a blanket, and under the heat from the bronze tripod, he still felt a bit chilly. The winter in the west was colder than the winter in the Central Plains. As a son of Jiangdong, Sun Quan couldn't bear the chill.

"Your Majesty, you once said that whoever can break the city of Antioch will get Antioch as a fief. Now that the war is over, many people in the army are watching His Majesty fulfill his promise!"

Zhuge Jin ignored Sun Quan's shivering appearance with a somewhat rigid temper, and continued chattering with some official business.

"Who will be the first to attack the city!" Sun Quan trembled, went to chill, and asked.

"Ma Chao!"

"Then reward Ma Chao with Antioch!" Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Map!"

"exist!"

Zhuge Jin quickly spread out a map.

This is the province of Antioch, and there are two small provinces in the north and south.

"Ma Chao should be well rewarded!" Sun Quan raised his pen and drew a circle, which encloses the city of Antioch and the six cities around Antioch, and said: "Ma Chao's title will not change. , Give them the share of Antioch City and the cities around Antioch, and let him establish the Kingdom of Liang, the next level, the Principality, the Principality of Great Liang!"

Da Wu is a vassal state, and the state of Lu is a kingdom.

The second vassal state, Macedonia, was also a kingdom.

However, Ma Chao, the vassal state he established, could only be a principality because of insufficient titles.

A few years ago, Sun Quan had already made up his mind that the western territory was far beyond his reach, and his rule was very difficult, so he would entrust all the heroes to boost morale. However, the western territory is so vast. Never mess up.

In the past two years, Sun Quan has made a more appropriate reward system based on the title of Great Wu and some customs of the Western Roman Empire after careful consideration.

The rewards will basically be calculated according to the rank of Da Wu's title.

The first-rank prince, the reward territory, is the kingdom.

The Dukes of the second rank and the Dukes of the third rank, who conferred territories, were naturally duchies.

As for titles below the fourth-rank marquis, the territory is awarded according to the size of the territory. If there is a city, it is a city-state, and the city is ruled by the city. If there is only one town, a castle can be built, and the castle owner can establish a ruling system.

No title, no territory.

Therefore, if you want to award a territory, you must first obtain a title.

Since Mount Tai became Zen, although Sun Quan has strictly controlled the marquis, duke, and king, but the titles below the sixth rank are not shabby at all. Now there are countless people holding titles in the army.

"Your Majesty, what about the rest?"

"leftover?"

"Even if Antioch was awarded to Ma Chao's territory, there are still some cities in the south of Antioch, the provinces of Asia and Bithynia, and in Egypt, the Clan Mansion has already made According to the arrangement, the Kingdom of Macedonia only has two-thirds, and one-third of the territory, which is the territory of the Arabian territory and the Persian Gulf Peninsula. Waiting for His Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

Zhuge Jin said.

After the big battle, it is naturally time to distribute the spoils.

Da Wu has a great sense of honor as a soldier.
