The Three Kingdoms

"How many recruits do you need?"

"50 is the most, and 30 is the minimum. These are all necessary. For the rest, unless there is an imperial decree from His Majesty, if there are too many troops, it may not be a good thing for the court!"

"Ok!"

Huang Zhong also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zhao stood up, reached out the window, pinched a handful of snowflakes falling from the sky, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's Chinese New Year, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, another year is coming, I hope next year will have a better harvest than this year , can maintain His Majesty's conquest!"

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

It was snowing heavily.

Byzantine city-state.

This is already the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, Wu Jun also began to enter the traditional festival of Da Wu to spend the New Year during the rest, and the city was full of excitement.

A caravan from the east walked into the city where the Great Wu Jinlong Emperor Banner had been planted.

"The cities in the west are still strange!"

"Are the houses here manors or castles?"

"It's so lively, why are there so many of us Wu people on the street!"

"It's Chinese New Year, these should be soldiers, it's rare to relax for a day!"

This is a caravan from the Zhen family, a relative of the great Wu royal family. There are hundreds of people in the caravan, and they look at this city with a pair of eyes.

The leader of the caravan was a young boy. He raised his head, glanced at the very conspicuous golden dragon flag flying above the city, and said, "You guys go and settle down first, I'll go see my father!"

"promise!"

The eyes of everyone in the Zhen's caravan brightened, and their expressions were extremely serious.

This young man is Sun Han, the second prince of Great Wu, Xiaoyao Lang who is devoted to the business world and does not want to get involved in the East Palace dispute. Your respect, Sun Quan.

After Sun Han bid farewell to the caravan, he walked around the city with a dozen guards who were from the imperial guards, and then walked into a castle.

"The last general waits, and pays homage to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

The Battalion Commander of the Imperial Guard who was guarding outside the castle quickly recognized the Great Wu Prince.

"There is no need to be too polite, is the father here?" Sun Hand has been here for some time, and has been opening up business routes in Xizhou and Anxi. Recently, he came to meet the father after hearing that the father had won the battle.

"Your Majesty is inside!" The Battalion Commander of the Imperial Guard nodded, and he said in a difficult way: "However, Second Prince, it is now a time of war, and the place guarded by the Imperial Guard is relatively strict. Anyone who enters or exits must have the right and left staff officers around His Majesty to approve. Please forgive me!"

"Go and report!"

Sun Han nodded.

If it was in Jinling City, it would not be such a trouble, but this is a place of war after all, and the security measures are much stricter than in Jinling City.

"Thank you, Second Prince, for your compassion!" The Battalion Commander of the Imperial Guard breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly sent someone to report.

The notification will come soon.

Cao Yang, Sun Quan's accompanying eunuch, quickly greeted him from the inside: "My servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"

"Don't be too polite, Eunuch Cao, does the emperor have time?"

"This year is the last day of the Seven Years of Tianquan, and His Majesty happened to be taking a bath. He heard the news that His Royal Highness the Second Prince had an audience, and Long Yan was overjoyed!" Cao Yang said.

"Thank you Eunuch Cao for leading the way!"

"Please!"

Following behind Cao Yang, Sun Han walked a hall.

The hall was somewhat empty, Sun Quan was alone, and after setting up the banquet, he looked a bit lonely in a foreign land.

"My son pays homage to my father!" Sun Han saluted.

"My son doesn't need to be polite, come and have a drink with the emperor!" Sun Quan was very happy, he thought he would spend this year alone, but he didn't expect to have a son to accompany him, which is a good thing.

"Father, where's brother?" Sun Han felt a little strange after he left the table.

Sun Sheng was one of the princes who came west with Sun Quan's royal family. Except for Donggong Sun Shao who stayed in the capital, several other contending royal children all followed the royal family to the west, intending to win some support.

Lost to Sun Shao in the East Palace battle, no one was convinced. Besides, although the East Palace is standing now, Sun Quan is at its peak, and the East Palace is not stable. They have plenty of time to fight for, and no one is willing to give up. It is right The best chance to win the support of forces in the military.

"He!"

Sun Quan smiled with a bit of bitterness in his smile: "Now he doesn't see me as a royal father, he just wants to curry favor with the commanders in the army, and he did a good job. In order to avoid danger, he became aloof. I let him come Accompanying me to celebrate the New Year, he also said righteously that he would eat and drink with the soldiers!"

"Father, brother is more determined to win!"

"He is unwilling to lose, and he doesn't know if he loses to anyone!" Sun Quan said: "Don't talk about him, come and have a few drinks with the emperor. This year, we will celebrate the New Year together!"

"I respect my father!"

Sun Han raised his glass.

With the feast of the two father and son, time passed silently, through the darkness of the night, and through the sunshine...

The eighth year of Tianquan is here!

Most of the territory of Egypt has been captured, and the Kingdom of Macedonia is also being established, but the entire North Africa still belongs to the territory of the Roman Empire.

The pressure in the fourth theater is still very high.

In this era, South Africa is wild, but North Africa has already been developed. Although there are no regular legions in North Africa, Severus has strong support here as the birthplace of Severus' dragon rise.

Governor Gust personally summoned [-] soldiers and rushed to the province of Cyrenaica, the province of Numidia and Mauritania in the east of North Africa. , each dispatched [-] soldiers to the province of Cyrenaia.

The army of [-], although only young and strong gathered, is still very powerful.

In addition to the heavy brand of Severus in North Africa, the morale of the soldiers is even higher, and the fourth theater does not dare to block at all.

Alexander port.

This is the core place where Rome ruled Egypt. When the Augustus Legion was wiped out, there were some disturbances, but after Aria's iron fist and the momentum of the Alexander family, they quickly gained the support of the people. Prosperity began to recover.
