The Three Kingdoms

"..."

Among the generals, some admired and some were jealous, but they had to admit that Li Ru's move caught them by surprise.

Originally, they had already prepared in their hearts that in the future they would devote their lives to the battlefield, preparing to spend ten or eight years on the Roman battlefield, all the way to the capital of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome.

But now suddenly the Roman Empire surrendered as a whole.

This made them a little unacceptable.

"Kong Ming, Li Ru hastened to tell me to lead the army westward and settle in the city of Rome. I will not give the Roman Empire any chance to repent. What do you think I should do?"

Sun Quan spoke, and his eyes were first aimed at Zhuge Liang.

The Roman Empire capitulated.

But surrender is not a word.

The Wu army had to enter the city of Rome before it could be regarded as accepting the surrender of the Roman Empire.

However, if the Wu army abandons the original strategy and travels thousands of miles away, and suddenly encounters a Roman raid, it will inevitably affect the results they have already won, and they may even suffer another defeat.

"Your Majesty, I have two questions. First, can we be sure that Li Dudu's report is true and not a Roman conspiracy!"

"Chief of General Staff Zhuge, our Jinyiwei has its own set of identification methods. Li Dudu's report is definitely written by him himself, so it cannot be fake. Moreover, Li Dudu is cautious and will never lie about military information, nor will he Betray Your Majesty!"

Liao Hao spoke righteously.

"That leaves the second point!"

Zhuge Liang never doubted Li Ru, even if Li Ru could betray Sun Quan, then Sun Quan was too much of a failure in life.

"If it were you, from Geta's point of view, would you want to surrender to me!"

Sun Quan asked back.

"meeting!"

Zhuge Liang thought for a long time before answering: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Today's situation and his situation, it is not an exaggeration to surrender to us. After all, no one is not afraid of death. For the sake!"

"Shi Yuan, what do you think?"

"I can do it too!"

"Looks like you all think he will!"

After Sun Quan listened to Wolongfengchu's opinion, a pair of green and transparent eyes shone with stars.

"I gambled once!"

Sun Quan stood up, stretched out his hand, suppressed the voices of the generals, and said calmly: "But I lost the bet, not only almost lost my life, but also caused millions of soldiers of our army to be buried in the Roman territory. Wucun, this is a scar that the imperial court has not completely healed for many years, but I still want to take a gamble today, pass on my order, and three days later, all the legions will gather and march towards the city of Rome!"

Once the opportunity is gone, it will never come again, he must hold it firmly.

The hundreds of thousands of Roman troops led by William are still in Gaul. If he hears the news and enters Rome earlier than he leads the army, then all this will change.

So Sun Quan decided to gamble again.

"promise!"

Sun Quan's orders had great responsiveness in the army. No matter what the generals' opinions were, when he issued a military order in a serious manner, they would obey without hesitation. No one challenged his majesty.

After the meeting, the legions quickly started to get busy. There were too many preparations before the camp was pulled out, and all the soldiers were so busy that they couldn't keep their heels on the ground.

"Zilong, do you have any objections?" Sun Quan stood on the city wall with his hands on his back, looking down at the busy camp below the city.

"I'm worried about His Majesty's safety!"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "How about this, let me lead the army into Rome instead of His Majesty!"

He never objected to Sun Quan's decision, but he would use his own way to reduce the danger Sun Quan faced. This is Zhao Zilong who is loyal to the liver, righteous and brave.

"Then you accept Geta's letter of surrender on my behalf?" Sun Quan joked.

"The end will pass!"

Zhao Yun was a little panicked, and quickly apologized.

To accept the letter of surrender from a powerful empire like Rome, the emperor Sun Quan must personally accept it, which is considered proper.

"This trip, I should and must go!" Sun Quan said indifferently.

"The final general will definitely be able to protect His Majesty's safety. As long as he is alive, he will never let anyone hurt His Majesty's life!" Zhao Yun said firmly.

……

In the seventh year of Longce, the seventeenth day of the first month.

After nearly two months of journey, Sun Quan, Emperor of Wu, personally led the Wu army with a million main force, and came to the city of Rome for the second time.

For the first time, he suffered the worst defeat in his life here.

But this time, he successfully captured the Roman Empire under the banner of Wu.

At the city gate of Rome, before the Arc de Triomphe, Gaita, the emperor of the Roman Empire, led the elders of the Senate, and hundreds of imperial ministers, personally presented the letter of surrender of the Roman Empire, Sun Quan accepted it, and canonized Gaita as the Roman King of the Great Wu Dynasty , a fief of the Italian province.

Dominating the Western European continent for several centuries, the mighty Roman Empire has since disappeared in history, replaced by the Roman State, a vassal state under the Great Wu Dynasty.

……

In the seventh year of Longce, on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, after hearing the news of Geta's surrender, William, who hastily led his army back to the imperial capital, encountered a sneak attack led by He Qi and Guo Jia in Milan City, causing heavy casualties. William led the remnant soldiers to escape.

In the seventh year of Longce, on the second day of February, William's tens of thousands of remnant soldiers were trapped on a mountain in the eastern foot of the Alps by He Qi's army.

In the seventh year of Longce, in the first ten days of March, after receiving the news of the surrender of the empire and William's death in battle, Alonso, who was fighting in the south, led his army out of the African province. He did not dare to go north to return to the empire, and went south into the untouched wilderness of Africa.

……

The seventh year of Longce, May.

Standing on the highest hill in the city of Rome, overlooking the entire city of Rome, Sun Quan's body was a bit bleak: "Zilong, when you were surrendered by me in Liaodong, did you ever think of this day!"

"Unexpected!"

"I can't think of it either!"

Sun Quan opened his arms and walked out in a hugging gesture: "This world, whether it is East Asia or Western Europe, is the territory of our Great Wu Dynasty after all. I have no regrets in this life!"
