The Three Kingdoms

Li Ru narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Don't regard Sun Bofu as a reckless man. Although he is domineering, he also has the appearance of a king. He is a hero. He knows what he can't do and what he can't do!" Sun Quan said: "Zhuge Jin will definitely come back alive."

Li Ru heard the words, thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

"Wen You, don't fix your sights on the Central Plains, you should know what Jin Yiwei's responsibility is!"

Sun Quan looked at Li Ru and said softly.

He can still survive the chaos in the Central Plains.

After all, the military's power is basically not out of control, so even if there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, he can still clean up the mountains and rivers.

His hatred is in the West.

His goal is still in the West.

This battle is lost.

But it didn't break his Sun Zhongmou's fighting spirit.

Conquering the Roman Empire remained his goal in this life.

So his eyes are still staring at the distant land of Western Europe.

"I know!"

Li Ru nodded, and then took out some notes: "Although Jin Yiwei's power in the capital and Jiangdong was wiped out a lot in this turmoil, it can be said that the vitality was seriously injured, and even the power of the entire Central Plains was weakened, but we The arrangement on the territory of Rome has not lagged behind, and in April, Caracalla was crowned in the city of Rome!"

"Is Caracalla crowned?"

Sun Quan looked at the memorials sent back from the western battlefield, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his eyes were dim: "What is your evaluation of this Roman emperor?"

"Brave but not resourceful, a tyrant!"

Li Ru said eight words.

"Tyrant?" Sun Quan smiled: "But it is undeniable that this tyrant has temporarily stabilized the situation in the Roman Empire!"

"indeed so!"

Li Ru nodded: "After Caracalla came to power, she won over the power of the Senate, balanced the military forces headed by William and Chaks, held the Iron Blood Legion and the Holy Angel Legion, and stabilized the throne. It has an undeniable role in the stability of the entire Roman Empire. role!"

"William and Chucks hold the main military power of the Roman Empire after all, so I'm afraid they won't give in easily!"

"William is still calm. He is currently leading his troops to suppress Gaul and fight against our army on the northwestern British islands. He is planning to take back the British province. However, Chaks has made a lot of moves. !"

Li Ru said softly: "After Caracalla came to power, he wanted to completely destroy the future troubles and kill his younger brother Geta, but Geta has suddenly disappeared. I suspect that this person is in the hands of Chucks. Once Kara If Kara is disobedient, then Chucks will retreat and push Geta out to take the throne!"

"Do you think this Chax is a loyal minister or an ambitious rebel?"

"He should be a power minister!"

Li Ru thought for a while: "He finally came to the Severus family, but he didn't trust Caracalla's ability, so he didn't mean to rebel and ascend the throne, but he wanted to take control of the court himself and prevent the Roman Empire from falling out of his control. !"

"interesting!"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly: "From this point of view, the conflict between them can be provoked. You can handle this matter, and the arrangement in the Roman territory must be strengthened. You know better than me what losses we have suffered in this battle!"

"This is the minister's fault, please His Majesty punish you!" Li Ru bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"The matter has come to this, is it useful to punish you?"

Sun Quan shook his head: "I made the decision myself. If I lose, I am defeated. I am willing to bear the consequences. After solving Sun Bofu, you will be punished by the world for this battle. If you make a mistake, you must admit it." , I am the emperor, no exceptions!"

……

The situation is turbulent, and the time has entered mid-June.

Zhuge Jin finally returned to Chang'an City from Jinling City.

He rushed to Weiyang Palace non-stop, and after entering the Jiaofang Palace, he said directly: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent, unable to persuade Sun Bofu, unable to calm down this heinous war disaster with a three-inch tongue, please punish me! "

"Exact words!"

"Sun Bofu's original words are, if He Shengce is the life of the Sun family, then he, Sun Bofu, will not accept his fate!"

"Do not accept fate!"

Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but a sneering smile: "Sure enough, it's your elder brother, he doesn't want to accept his fate, then I will help him!"

Sun Quan spread out a golden silk book, swiped a pen and ink, forced the dragon and snake away, wrote an imperial decree, and then stamped it with the seal of the state.

He shouted: "Come on!"

"exist!"

"Send this memorandum to the world!"

"promise!"

The personal guards took the imperial decree to print, and then rode around to spread this imperial decree throughout the Central Plains in just a few days.

"Your Majesty wants to attack Jinling personally!"

"Raise the soldiers of the world to quell the chaos in Jinling!"

"The rebellious ministers and thieves can be punished by everyone, and I will not allow any rebel to destroy our Great Wu Jiangshan!"

"Sun Bofu conspired against him, and the world will discuss it together, regardless of life or death!"

When the book is published, the world's soldiers will rise.

In late June, the vanguard army led by Ma Chao arrived in Runan, entered Shouchun City, and looked at the other side of the Yangtze River.

In the first ten days of July, He Qi personally led a large army upstream, entered the mouth of the Yangtze River, stationed troops in Guangling, and approached Jinling City.

In mid-July, Zhou Yu led his troops up from Zhangzhou, passed through Wuzhou, entered the plain 120 miles away from Jinling City, and camped.

In late July, Sun Quan personally led the Central Army Corps to the west bank of the Yangtze River, just across the river from Jinling City.

Jinling City, the imperial capital, was besieged for the second time since its founding.

The first time was when Sun Quan led his troops back from Chu and besieged the city to seize the throne.

The second time was when Sun Quan led his troops back from the Western Regions to besiege the city and kill the dragon.
