The Three Kingdoms

"Your Majesty has not yet decided on the time to march next year, and it is not very clear now!" Guo Jia added after thinking about it.

Sun Quan basically no matter how he fights, in his opinion, he is still a bit of an amateur in arranging troops. His ability is to employ people, and he only needs to use good people.

However, the general strategy still needs him to control it himself.

The Western Expedition to the city of Rome is already on the verge of death, and it has to be done.

But how to conquer is another matter.

After conquering the city of Antioch, there were two roads before Wu's more than 100 million troops. The first one was to fight every step of the way, to stabilize the morale of the army, to appease the hearts of the people, to lay a solid foundation, to win without losing, but the Roman Empire The land is vast, the territory is vast, the population is large, and the resistance to the Wu army is relatively serious. The Wu army will definitely step into a quagmire and bear the counterattack of Roman civil forces. This will take at least ten or eight years.

The other way is to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, concentrate the main force to drive straight in, meet the gods and kill the gods, meet the Buddha and kill the Buddha, conquer the city of Rome, annihilate the Roman Empire in one fell swoop, and then use the advantage of securing the city of Rome to slowly take down the remaining territory.

Sun Quan, who was now faced with two choices, had already considered them before the Antioch War broke out, and he still couldn't make a decision.

"No matter what His Majesty decides, we must come up with a strategy to restore our combat power the fastest!" Lu Bu said firmly.

"Report to the first lord, I have a plan!" Zhuge Liang stood up.

"Say!" Lu Bu's eyes lit up.

"Among the legions, disrupt the organization and rebuild the main force!" Zhuge Liang's voice was burning.

"Disrupt the establishment and rebuild the main force?"

Hearing this, the generals hesitated a little.

"Kong Ming, what do you mean?" Lu Bu asked.

"We gather veterans to form the main force. When the war starts next year, the main force will go first, and then supplement the troops. Don't break up and supplement the main force, and form an independent army. After all, we don't have enough time to rest and adjust. The difference between recruits and veterans It takes time to get in, and the tacit understanding between veterans has already been cultivated on the battlefield!"

Zhuge Liang said.

"That's true!"

Zhou Yu agreed, saying: "We must adjust to the best state in the shortest time, this is the best way!"

"It's a good idea, but..."

In this way, the problem arises.

Whoever commands the main force will command the recruits.

"My Parthian Legion suffered the most setbacks. Since this is the case, I am willing to consider the overall situation!" Ma Chao is also a smart person. Although he fought for the glory in the Battle of Antioch, among all the commanders of the Legion, except Zhao Yun was entrusted to the vassal states by himself, so he would be somewhat jealous, so he needed to make an appropriate concession at this time.

"I will dispatch [-] elite main soldiers from the Parthian Legion to replenish the legions, and then let the new recruits enter the Parthian Legion. It is just a good time to transition the Parthian influence of the Parthian Legion. After all, the Parthian Legion is a legion under the imperial court and needs to be balanced. Influence within the legion!"

Ma Chao said in a deep voice.

This undoubtedly lowered the combat power of the Parthian Legion by a notch, falling into the main force of the second tier.

But this is also helpless.

Ma Chao had already noticed something. The Military Aircraft Department would not allow the Parthian Legion to remain completely Parthians forever. In this case, he killed two birds with one stone.

"I agree with this matter!" Lu Bu nodded. He was already ready to discuss this matter with Ma Chao. a trouble.

"So good!"

"Ma Commander's righteousness, I will always remember it in my heart!"

"[-] elite veterans will certainly be able to make up for the casualty gap in our first theater and second theater!"

The commanders nodded.

In this way, they are all beneficiaries, but the Parthian Legion is at a disadvantage. Originally, after repeated battles in Damascus, the casualties were already in the tens of thousands. After dispatching [-] elite soldiers who have experienced battles, the combat effectiveness of the Parthian Legion At most, there is only about one-third left. If those recruits want to train, they will have to spend at least one or two years on the battlefield.

"This matter is decided!"

Lu Bu said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, immediately write a memorandum and present it to Your Majesty, wait for His Majesty's approval, and speed up the deployment of defenses. It will take two months to restore the combat effectiveness of each legion!"

"No!" Guo Jia nodded.

"Meng Qi!"

"The first lord, the last general is here!"

"There are a lot of Anxi people in the Parthian Legion. Now the mobilization of the main force by the big guys will inevitably cause their uneasiness. You must comfort this point. You have been in the Parthian Legion for many years, and your majesty is still higher than ours. Only the ability can be stable. live!"

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely do a good job in this matter, and I will never let anything unusual happen to the legion!"

Ma Chao said confidently.

Over the years, his influence has penetrated into every corner of the Parthian Legion. The big transfer now is equivalent to splitting the Parthian Legion. There may be complaints, but he is not afraid of any radical behavior by the Parthian soldiers.

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

The rectification of the army is in full swing.

At this moment, Sun Quan was standing on the height of a tower in the city-state of Byzantium, looking down at the direction of Greece, he could see the blue sea under the blue sky and white clouds outside the city.

"Aegean Sea!"

There was a touch of fire in Sun Quan's clear green eyes.

In his previous life, he had dreamed of taking the woman he was thinking of on a trip to the Aegean Sea, which is a holy place for lovers, but he never made it.

Unexpectedly, in this life, he looked at the Aegean Sea in such a way.

After the Aegean Sea passes, it should be Greece.

Greece is a great place.

"Shiyuan, do you know where it goes from here?"

"According to the map, it's Greece!" Pang Tong said.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan nodded: "Greece is a good place. On this land, if you conquer Greece, you will conquer half of the Roman Empire!"

In the era of Alexander’s Macedonian Empire, Eastern Europe and West Asia had already entered the Hellenistic era. Now in the eastern part of the Roman Empire, the official language used by most people is not Latin, but Greek. After conquering Greece, the entire West Asia and Eastern Europe will surrender .

"Your Majesty, the entire West will surrender at His Majesty's feet sooner or later!" Pang Tong's voice was hot and his words were confident.

"How do you say I should enter the army?"

Sun Quan smiled and asked.
