Three Kingdoms Eschatology

After hearing what Mossolis said, Spartacus suddenly burst into laughter, and shouted: "You bastard is really good at telling lies, come here, take it for me first!"

Hearing this, Mossolis' hairs stood up in shock.He hastily shouted: "What does the second general mean by this? I'm telling the truth. I still have the gold token granted by the general here!" He took out the gold token while talking.

Those soldiers of Spartacus didn't care about this, they put his arms up left and right.But Spartacus snatched the gold token back from his hand, and his colleague spat on his face and said, "You still want to lie to me. If Hannibal wants you to bring a letter, he will definitely write a letter." Warrant. How could it be possible as long as you come to see me with the token. Also, you have more loopholes..."

Mossolis hurriedly distinguished: "The army is in a hurry, the general lost his pen and ink." With a slap, he was slapped on the face again, and Spartacus shouted: "You lie one lie after another! Shit. No one else knows, but I do know that Hannibal always has a quill and inkpot with him, because he has a habit of keeping a diary."

Mosulis opened his mouth but no words came out.Spartacus laughed again and said: "You have too many flaws. Based on what I know about Hannibal, it is impossible for him to be led into a promontory by such a poor means by the Roman army. Also, the Roman army As if they knew our marching route, they evacuated the soldiers, horses and supplies in the castle on the route in advance. This must be a traitor and spy who betrayed our information. And you, Mosolis, you can always escape from death Except for this time, last time you said that our hired pirate fleet was sunk by the Roman fleet and you escaped by chance. Why are you always so lucky? To tell you the truth, I doubted you the last time you came back. This time Did Feng Hu want you to come and lure us into that promontory before ambushing and besieging us?"

Seeing that he was found out by the other party, Mosolis still didn't give up, and said bravely: "Second General, you are all groundless speculation. The General is still waiting for rescue, so don't waste your time on this useless Adding wild guesses to the meaning. I don't know why the general's pen and ink are gone, anyway, he just gave me this token and asked me to notify..."

Before he finished speaking, Spartacus waved his big hand and said, "Execution! I don't believe he can't pry his mouth open!"

Several strong men with big arms and round waists then hung Mossolis on a nearby wooden frame, and there was a pile of blazing bonfires in front of the wooden frame, and then stripped him naked.After the torture, Mosolis howled for a while, then passed out, and was woken up again by splashing cold water.

Spartacus said coldly to him: "It doesn't matter if you tell the truth or not. If you don't tell the truth, you will be tortured to death with various tortures! If you say it, maybe you can still survive."

At dawn, Mosolis finally couldn't stand the torture, so he had to tell Spartacus everything he knew about the whole process.When speaking, he pointed to the map and clearly told the relevant locations.

Spartacus came to Mossolis and said: "You are telling the truth. If I find out that you are telling a lie, your life will be worse than death! Skinning and cramping are all mild."

Mosulis had been tortured and lost his mind. He looked at Spartacus in fear, nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice and said: "Second General, everything I said is true, and I agree with you. I was persecuted by Feng Hu, and I had no choice but to do it. Please forgive me."

Spartacus sneered and said, "It's good if it's true." After that, he swung the broadsword in his hand suddenly, and chopped off Mossolis' head with a click.When his head fell to the ground, Spartacus said again: "Then let you die happily."

Then, he ordered the surrounding soldiers: "After smashing Mosulis's head, bury the body with it. It must be buried so that no one can find it."

Two of his generals asked: "Second General, what should we do now?"

Spartacus said with a smile: "Now that we know that Hannibal's army is trapped in Nicosia, we can only bypass the main force of Rome in front and go to rescue them."

One of the generals asked puzzledly: "Second General, we can bypass it, but we can't get rid of it. When we reach Nicosia, their main force will follow. At that time, we will be in front of and behind us. They are all enemy troops, not only can't solve the siege of the general, but I may still be attacked by the enemy."

Spartacus said indifferently: "However, Feng Hujun pretended to be clever and tried to trick us, which instead gave us a chance to use his tricks."

Chapter 1075

At dawn, the darkest hour.The back door of the Spartacus Army's camp quietly opened, and thousands of rebel soldiers lined up and rustled outside.Many of them were still yawning.

But none of this escaped the eyes of Feng Yujun's sentry.Feng Yu and all the generals under his command were also quickly awakened from their sleep and gathered in the large tent of the Chinese army.

Douglas first said: "It seems that Mossolis has successfully deceived Spartacus again."

Feng Yu shook his head and said: "I'm not sure yet. The way of using soldiers is false and real, and the truth cannot be judged until the end. No matter what the opponent does, we will follow the plan. Order the scout team to enter the opponent's camp to see if they are soldiers. The horses are actually gone."

After a while, the scouts brought back a message from the Spartacus camp hundreds of battles away. Not a single rebel soldier in the camp left.In order to hide, they did not pull out the camp, but directly discarded the entire camp and the tents and other materials in it.

Feng Yu ordered again: "Five thousand soldiers and horses will be led by Douglas to follow them. If they really enter that cape, there are already five thousand soldiers and horses ambushing there, and they will be blocked immediately. Then Douglas' five thousand soldiers and horses The horses will follow in a short time for reinforcements, and [-] troops are enough to trap them in that cape. As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, they will follow me."

After Spartacus's army traveled about forty or fifty miles, he ordered the former army and the middle army to turn around, leaving only the rear army with less than 2000 people to continue marching towards the Sicilian headland along the original route.Obviously, he tried to escape the Roman army by using the golden cicada to escape.

They traveled another sixty miles and had entered the fringes of the eastern mountains of Sicily.They were now crossing a valley with dense forests.With Spartacus' military talent, he is unlikely to choose such a marching route at ordinary times. Even if he has to go, he will send scouts to find out the road conditions and the enemy's situation.

But this place is the only place that can lead to Nicosia at the shortest distance. Spartacus can only pass through this place if he wants to get to Nicosia in the fastest time.

In addition, Spartacus is full of confidence in the golden cicada that he will plan to escape.He thought that according to common sense, the other party would have some doubts when he saw that it was impossible for him to fall into the trap as expected.

It's just that he didn't expect that this common sense would fall on him. He just knew that the other party was using tricks, but he didn't know that it was a series of tricks.He thought that the opponent's main force had been distracted by the 2000 suspicious soldiers he left behind, but he didn't expect that half of the opponent's troops were waiting for him in this valley that he had to pass through.

Spartacus has never been so relaxed in the past ten days, but the sound of arrows piercing through the air and a scream made his muscles tense again.

Then more arrows roared, and some people started shouting: "Enemy attack! There are enemy troops ambushing in the forest on both sides." Stock enemy soldiers.

However, his soldiers have been howling and screaming one after another. The arrows that struck were heavy arrows three or four feet long, and even some generals in fine armor were shot through their bodies by the heavy arrows.At the same time, there was a commotion in front of the queue, and continuous wailing erupted. There, the soldiers under his command were attacked intensively by the crossbow guns fired by the individual ballista directly in front, and they fell down in a pool of blood. middle.

At this moment, Spartacus was convinced that he had been ambushed. He shouted in shock: "Warning and defending! Guards on both sides of the shield man! Slowly retreat and exit the valley."

However, it didn't take long for his voice to fall, and there were shouts and shouts from the rear of the queue.A Roman army of 2000 men lined up a shield wall to block their retreat.Spartacus drew out his saber and shouted: "Brothers, today the only way to break out of the siege is to fight to the death. Let's all work together to move forward."

After saying that, he took the lead and rode his horse forward.Driven by his encouragement, the panic-stricken rebel soldiers also plucked up the courage to follow him and rushed forward.

Before his soldiers had set up shield walls on both sides of the road, a fireball flew over from the hillsides and forests on both sides.After they fell to the bottom of the valley, clusters of flames rose up, and after a while, seas of flames burned one after another at the bottom of the valley.

A Greek fire bomb landed just in front of his mount's hooves, and the rising flames frightened his horse into a howl, and raised its front hooves high, almost throwing Spartacus off the horse.And the rebel soldiers rushing forward carried dense crossbow spears, risked huge casualties and finally rushed to the enemy blocking the road, but encountered javelin projections like torrential rain.Then the remaining soldiers fought with the Roman soldiers across the shield wall, and the few remaining soldiers soon fell under the stabbing of the Roman soldiers' daggers.

The rest of the rebel soldiers who were rushing behind them slowed down involuntarily when they saw the tragedy, and gathered together again, using the turtle shell array to resist the cold arrows that kept shooting from the slopes and forests on both sides.Spartacus's first wave of breakouts collapsed so easily.

At this time, Spartacus had abandoned his horse and fought on foot. Unwilling to give up, he made two more attempts to break through.Even attacking a steep hill at the end with one option.Of course, both end in failure.

Just when Spartacus was desperate, the cold arrows of the Roman army suddenly stopped shooting.A loud voice sounded from the hillside.It was Feng Yu who was speaking personally.

"Spartacus, I am Feng Hu, the commander of the Roman counter-insurgency army. You and your army have been surrounded in this valley. Don't make unnecessary resistance. As long as you lay down your weapons, the commander will not only forgive you Your lives can also give you a way out to regain your freedom."

Spartacus sneered: "Don't say that I don't believe your nonsense, even if I believe that you really will, so what. My ambition is not just to be a mere freeman."

Feng Yu sighed and said: "If you want to be an official, you want to enter the knight class. The Roman Empire will give you a chance to make achievements in the army. But the prerequisite for all of this is that you must surrender immediately. Of course, if you still want to Becoming a nobleman, this... To tell you the truth, even I myself don’t have the extravagant dream.”

Spartacus suddenly laughed wildly, and said: "Feng Hu, I thought you were some kind of hero, but you turned out to be a mediocre person with no ambition. Let me tell you, my ambition is to become the king of a country. That way you won’t be driven by anyone.”

Feng Yu pursed his lips and said: "That is to say, it is not your ambition to be free, your ideal is to be the master of others. If you are a Persian or a poisonous person, I am not surprised by your thoughts. But you are a Greeks."

Chapter 1076 Abandonment

Spartacus was somewhat surprised by Feng Yu's words, and he responded: "What Persians, Greeks? What's the difference? The swordsmanship teacher who brought me up since I was a child was a Persian. He told me since I was a child , to be truly free, one must become a king."

Feng Yu nodded and said: "No wonder, that's how it is... Let's not talk about these things now. It doesn't matter if you have any ambitions, if you can't get out of my encirclement today, you are dead. But I will give you another To choose is to surrender. It depends on your choice."

Spartacus turned his head in Feng Yu's direction again and said: "Surrender? You are daydreaming." Then he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Give me freedom or give me death. Today we are dying in battle." Therefore, I will never surrender! Brothers, kill!"

After that, he held his shield and spear and charged towards the hillside again on foot.More than 100 of his personal guards followed his pace and attacked the hillside.However, most of the rebel soldiers at the bottom of the valley did not move.

Hidden in the mountains and forests, Feng Yujun's archer once again shot heavy arrows at the charging enemy army.Spartacus thought that his soldiers were following behind him, so he used his shield to block the incoming heavy arrows, and his feet accelerated even more.The soldiers behind him kept screaming after being hit by arrows, and hundreds of Roman soldiers still appeared in front of him.

He was greeted by a burly enemy general, who was none other than Feng Yu's number one warrior, John Lawrence.The other soldiers also stopped the soldiers following Spartacus.

After the two sides fought for a quarter of an hour, Spartacus felt that the opponent's fighting skills were superb, and it was already difficult for him to parry.At the same time, he realized that most of the soldiers under his command did not follow, and actually abandoned him.

Spartacus, who was filled with grief and indignation, suddenly lost his composure. He swung the broadsword in his hand and slashed wildly. Finally, John found an opening and stabbed his sword into his neck.Spartacus fell down clutching his neck that was gushing blood.

Before he left this world, Feng Yu's face was reflected in his sight and he heard the last words he heard in this world: "Do you know why your soldiers abandoned you? Because you just said Truth. They understand that you were fighting for your own freedom, not theirs."

Feng Yu closed Spartacus' eyes and stood up.At this time, those Spartacus soldiers who were stubbornly resisting were also beheaded to death.Feng Yu took the iron trumpet handed to him by the soldiers, and once again shouted to the rebel soldiers who were dumbfounded at the bottom of the valley, hiding behind the shield wall:

"I repeat, I am the supreme commander of the Sicilian rebel army in the Roman Empire. I guarantee with my personality that as long as you lay down your arms, give up the rebellion and rebellion, and surrender to the empire, you will not be punished with capital punishment. Moreover, I will give You have a chance to become free citizens or even citizens of the empire. However, if you are not willing to lay down your arms, then I have to fulfill you and turn this valley into your mass cemetery."

Before he finished speaking, someone at the bottom of the valley took the lead in throwing away their weapons and shields, and raised their hands.Then more and more people did the same.The sound of weapons and shields falling to the ground rang together.

A large number of soldiers of Feng Yujun emerged from the forest and rushed towards the bottom of the valley.They quickly collected the weapons discarded by the surrendered soldiers, and then escorted the surrendered troops away in batches.Feng Yu was relieved at this moment.

……

In Hannibal's camp outside Nicosia, the soldiers were lazily lying on the ground basking in the sun.Each of them had a flat belly.It's not that they are lazy, they are hungry.Now their daily rations are reduced to [-] to [-] grams per person.Such a small amount of rations makes it difficult to stand still, let alone fight.

On the opposite side of the camp, the Roman army at the opening of the basin shouted in unison with their special iron horns, and the content remained the same.These rebel soldiers have grown ear calluses, and some of them are even able to memorize by heart.

Hannibal sat cross-legged in the sun, his head drooping weakly on his chest.Next to him, several generals under his command quietly surrounded him.One of them tentatively said, "General, we are at the end of our rope. The opponent's general, Feng Hu, is willing to give us a way. Why don't we surrender?"

Hannibal didn't raise his head, just muttered: "But there is no news about Spartacus yet, we should wait."

Another general said anxiously: "General, Spartacus hasn't come for so long, what are we waiting for? Either he has returned to Palermo, of course, this possibility is very small. It is more likely He has been wiped out by the Roman army, or has surrendered. We can't wait any longer, or the brothers will..." He stopped talking at this point, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.Hannibal was still panting and shaking his head, but didn't say a word.

At this moment, someone on the opposite side suddenly shouted with a tin trumpet: "Hannibal, now you are the only rebel army left in Sicily. Your brother Spartacus' army has been defeated by our army." , [-]% of the soldiers of the whole army have returned to the Roman Empire. The commander will arrange them according to the promise. And Spartacus, unfortunately, he has already died in battle."

Hannibal was shocked when he heard this, he seemed to have suddenly gained infinite strength, jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards Feng Yujun's defense line.Many soldiers of Feng Yu's army had quietly picked up their individual crossbows, but Feng Yu ordered: "Without my order, no one is allowed to shoot arrows or guns."

Hannibal stopped twenty battles ahead of the defense line and shouted, "Feng Hu, don't try to lie to me, Spartacus didn't die so easily."

Feng Yu waved his hand, and several soldiers stood up the stretcher that bound Spartacus' body.Feng Yu said immediately: "The fact is right in front of us. I left him a whole body out of respect for him. And let me tell you a fact. Although Spartacus refused to surrender, his subordinates The soldiers abandoned him. Because he was only fighting for himself. I don't want you to be the next one. For the sake of nearly ten thousand lives behind you, please surrender immediately."

At this time, several of Hannibal's confidant generals also followed him, and persuaded them one after another: "General, there is nothing to think about now, let's surrender!"

Hannibal sighed heavily, and slammed the weapon and shield to the ground.His generals did the same.Seeing this, those rebel generals who were still in the barracks also rushed out of the barracks with their hands raised high, and walked slowly towards Feng Yujun's defense line...

Chapter 1077 Custom and Law

Head of the city of Palermo.Several Feng Yujun soldiers pulled down the rebel flag left on the top of the city and threw it under the city, and replaced it with the eagle flag of the Roman Empire and the flag of Feng Yu's army with the same eagle pattern.

When a force of less than 2000 Feng Yujun marched against the city of Palermo, some rebel soldiers had already fled.There were only about 3000 rebel soldiers and horses left in the city.When they saw the warrant written by Hannibal himself and his golden token, they immediately expressed their willingness to surrender to the Roman army.

So far, in the whole of Sicily, except for a very small number of two or three thousand rebel soldiers who fled to hide in the mountains and wilderness, most of the rest surrendered to Feng Yu.The Sicilian slave rebellion ended.The good news was sent to the palace of Alexander in Rome as quickly as possible.

Soon, all the imperial officials in the city of Rome, the nobles of the Senate, and the knights who were born in the military got the good news.Then, those citizens in the city of Rome, the free people also got the news.These citizens and freedmen were the group most feared of slave rebellion.Because if riots swept through the city of Rome, those dignitaries and nobles could easily flee away to avoid disaster, but it was difficult for them to escape, so they could only passively fall into the chaos of war.

I don't know who was the first to run and cheer on the streets of Rome. Anyway, more and more people joined the celebrating crowd in the end.All wine shops and beef and mutton shops are full of people, and everyone is preparing to drink wine and cook meat today as a celebration.Originally, Feng Hu was only famous in the elite class, but now his reputation quickly spread among the common people in Rome.And the more rumors are passed on, the more magical they become.

However, it was actually a miracle to put down the slave riots that swept across Sicily in less than two months with just over ten thousand recruits, and to wipe out the rebel army with a total strength of [-].

……

At nightfall, Alexander's palace was full of people and noisy.A banquet is being held here, and of course it is also to celebrate the great victory in Sicily. All the leading figures in the military and political circles in the city have participated in this banquet.

Already a little drunk, Alexander put down the wine crystal glass and sighed again: "More than a month ago, I received a letter from Feng Yu. In his letter, he said that although he successfully sealed off the bandit army in Sicily, the bandit army is still in danger. The army has swept across the island, not a single castle town can be spared, with a strength of 6 to [-]. At that time, this news shocked me, thinking that the situation has reached such a point that it is impossible to calm down with the few people he brought That's it. That's why I mobilized everyone to lead the army to assist Feng Yu in suppressing the rebellion. Who knows that none of you have arrived in Sicily yet. The whole thing is over. It seems that I am still worrying too much." Said Well, he laughed again.

In fact, what he said was partly sarcastic.The Roman nobles did not shirk each other when the situation was critical, and the various forces did actively mobilize troops to Sicily.But their operational efficiency was too low. When the Thomas Legion, which was the closest to Sicily, arrived at the Strait of Messina, the fast riders who delivered the good news of Feng Yujun's pacification of Sicily had already galloped over the pontoon bridge.

After Alexander said these words, the banquet entered into a temporary state of silence, but soon, the officer Augustus who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "General Feng Hu has made such a remarkable achievement. Apart from being gratifying and congratulatory, it is also worth celebrating." It was beyond the expectations of ordinary people. Now His Majesty Alexander should think about the aftermath of the Sicilian province..."

The topic he brought up immediately cheered up everyone, and all eyes turned to Alexander.No wonder they behaved like this, because Sicily was an extremely important province among dozens of provinces in the Roman Empire.

The land on Sicily is not fertile, and the resources are not very rich.But if its millions of hectares of plain land are fully developed, at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can be raised.The island is rich in forest resources, and the mountainous area in the northeast also produces iron ore areas. It can be self-sufficient in basic materials for building weapons and warships.

In addition, and more importantly, Sicily is located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, occupying a strategically important place and guarding the east-west route across the Mediterranean Sea.This route could provide the rulers of Sicily with any resources as long as they had the money.

The shortest distance between it and the coast of North Africa is only more than 300 miles, and the north and the Apennines of the Roman Empire are only separated by the Strait of Messina with an average width of several miles.This means that it guards the routes of the Mediterranean, and as long as the "island owner" has certain naval power and is willing, he can easily cut off the traffic between the east and the west of the Mediterranean.This also means that the army on Sicily can easily enter several North African provinces of the empire, and can also easily "enter Jingqin King".

It can be said that whoever can occupy and control Sicily can occupy a pivotal position in the ruling class of the empire, and his words will also carry considerable weight.Who can not be envious of the imperial dignitaries present at such a banquet?

At this moment, Alexander opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.Instead, he turned his attention to his mother Amiyas, obviously wanting Amiyas to make an idea.However, before Amias could open his mouth, Quintus, the tribune, said to Augustus first: "Your Excellency, according to the tradition of our Roman Empire since Caesar, the army that conquered a certain area or pacified a certain area The commander-in-chief automatically assumes the responsibility of managing the region. Today, Feng Hu's army has pacified Sicily in less than two months. Naturally, he should act as the Governor of Sicily."

Augustus stroked his gray beard and said, "Your Excellency Quintus, what you said is wrong. Yes, our Roman Empire does have this tradition. But tradition is not law, and there is no need to follow the old rules. The province of Sicily It's too important, it directly threatens the safety of our Roman capital, and Feng Hu is a foreigner who has just been naturalized not long after all. So..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells from the banquet.The one who laughed was Alexander's mother Amias.She said: "Your Excellency, the province of Sicily can threaten the safety of the capital of Rome. Could it be that Feng Hu's original residence in Milan could not threaten the safety of the capital of Rome? It is true that Feng Hu is a foreigner who has just been naturalized, but Liang Guo is now It is a friendly ally with the Roman Empire. His Majesty Alexander personally welcomed Feng Hu to Rome, so can His Majesty also be trusted? If the empire can’t even trust its emperor, who else can it trust?”

Augustus was speechless after what Amias said, his face turning red and turning white.

Chapter 1078

General Augustus choked on Amyas' words.Quintus, the tribune at the side, said again: "However, what Your Excellency said makes sense. I heard that General Feng Hu surrendered more than 4 rebels. I am very curious about how His Excellency Feng Hu will use the more than 4 people." People, should they be used as slaves or trained as fighters? If the latter, it means that he will have more than 6 available soldiers under his command. I don’t need to say more about the rest!”

Amias frowned, she had never been able to figure out which faction he belonged to Quintus, nor did she know his actual position.What Quintus said just now seemed to be support for Feng Hu to stay in Sicily as the acting governor, but now he said that Feng Hu was indeed a threat.So she asked: "Your Excellency, Tribune, what exactly do you want to express?"

Quintus grinned and said: "Actually, what I mean is that there is nothing wrong with keeping General Feng Hu and his large army in Sicily. But the premise is that his more than 4 prisoners of war should be handed over."

Before Amias could answer, Alexander spoke first, "Quintus, did you make a mistake? Feng Hu should stay in Sicily as the acting governor to restore order and production there. There is still room for flexibility. , because after all, this is just a tradition and practice that has been passed down for hundreds of years. But the more than 4 prisoners of war belonged to him as spoils of war. --With more than 4 prisoners of war and slaves, Rome is no longer Rome! This will shake the foundation of my Rome, absolutely not!"

After that, he deliberately turned his head to Augustus and asked, "Officer, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Augustus whispered a lot of ambiguous words that no one could understand, which was considered perfunctory.Quintus' face was also flushed red, and he couldn't think of anything to say to Alexander for a while, and became tongue-tied.

Not far from Quintus, a huge fat man hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Everyone is right, and everyone is right. I think it's better to make a compromise and let Feng Hu bring soldiers and horses and his Tens of thousands of prisoners of war returned to Milan, where he was originally stationed. The governor of Sicily still found someone from the Prosius family. I am familiar with it. I think it is most appropriate for their family to continue to govern there."

This person is none other than Gaius, the chief elder of the Senate.After Gaius finished speaking, he sneaked a glance at Prosecutor Proseus.Unexpectedly, the other party didn't accept his affection at all, and continued to drink by himself without saying a word.

Quintus sneered and teased, "Senior Gaius, why is your usually extremely clever head confused today? You let Feng Hu have 4 troops in Milan, which is less than 17 miles away from Rome, plus More than [-] slaves. Isn’t this more of a threat to the safety of the city of Rome? It would be better to let them stay in Sicily. In addition, the Prosius family suffered heavy losses in Sicily. [-] people were killed directly on the front and rear battlefields , and hundreds of family members died in the military disaster. The only one left now is Antony Prosius, but this person has little qualifications, how can he be qualified for the post of acting governor of the province of Sicily? Unless Prosecutor Proseus Among the relatives of Hughes who live in Rome, there are suitable candidates."

At this time, Prosecutor Proseus accepted Quintus's words with blood-red eyes and said: "I only have one adult son, and now I am serving as the commander of the Second Army of the Florentine Grand Army. But I will not let him do it again." To that damn place in Sicily. Argument all you want, but please stop talking about my family!"

Having said that, the banquet was cold again, and everyone poured drinks and ate food on their own.Amias gave Ambassador Alexander a wink, and the latter put down his knife and fork and said, "That's the deal, we still let Feng Hu act as the agent of Sicily Province according to the usual practice..."

"Wait a minute!" Alexander's words were interrupted again, he followed the reputation and found that it was Quintus, and immediately said with a bad face: "Quintus, what else do you want to say?"

Quintus said solemnly, "Since His Majesty Alexander is determined to do so, my subordinates have no objection. But my subordinates have two strong suggestions. One is that since Feng Hu is the acting governor of Sicily, his legion should also It is no longer suitable to be stationed in Milan and Sicily. The soldiers and horses he stayed in Milan should also be transferred to the province of Sicily. In addition, his subordinates also suggested that Thomas’s army should be transferred to the Strait of Messina in Sicily. And they are directly under the command of His Majesty, not under the jurisdiction of the Sicilian province."

Alexander frowned and began to calculate, but Amiyas, who was sitting next to him, nodded to him, indicating that he could make compromises.Only then did Alexander nod his head and said, "Okay, let's transfer according to what Your Excellency the Tribune said."

Everyone who had settled down on business swept away the tense atmosphere hidden before, and began to eat and drink harmoniously and happily.After half an hour, Quintus seemed to think of another thing.He said to Alexander: "Your Majesty, I have something else to report to Your Majesty for advice."

Alexander thought that Quintus was going to talk about Sicily again, so he said impatiently: "Quintus, didn't everyone finalize it just now? Why are you here again? If you think about it, it's annoying !"

Quintus smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the matter you mentioned is related to Feng Hu, it has nothing to do with Sicily."

"Oh, tell me then."

Only then did Quintus seriously say: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that about a year ago, when Feng Hu first arrived, he told us that the lead pipes in our water supply system would cause chronic poisoning?"

Not to mention Alexander, most of the people present at the banquet looked puzzled.At that time, when Feng Hu talked about the poisonous water pipe, most people took it as a joke, and no one paid much attention to it.Naturally, most people didn't keep this matter in mind.

Alexander looked around blankly and asked, "Why can't I remember this, Feng Hu said such absurd things?"

Quintus quickly responded: "Hey Your Majesty, it really happened! It's just that you didn't worry about it, so you forgot. But it's not absurd." Among the people present, several people were reminded by Quintus, Thinking of this, they all echoed:
