I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

"Ding, the sign-in is successful once a day. The host completes the A-level sign-in and gets three Bigu Pills."

Wei Chu pulled out the spear with a trace of blood from Ma Yunlu's body.

After not seeing Ma Yunlu for a long time, Ma Yunlu's body has grown again, and Ma Yunlu is more charming now than before.

So much so that Wei Chu had just received the reward and planned to continue raising his gun and mounting his horse.

Seeing this, Ma Yunlu quickly shrank to the corner of the bed.

"This is the third time today. Can you let me rest?"

Without waiting for Wei Chu to answer, Ma Yunlu continued: "Huang Yueying just came to Jixian, you should stay with her for a few more days."

Hearing Ma Yunlu's words, Wei Chu sighed lightly.

"Yueying's father objects to me having physical contact with Yueying before we get married. It will be three days before her father leaves for Bingzhou. So during these three days, I plan to let Yueying spend some time alone with her father. .”

"Hmph, as expected, you have dirty intentions when you come close to us."

"Yunlu, you can't say that. I work so hard for the sake of the country and the people of the world."

"Hmph, don't think that I am illiterate and easy to deceive. What does doing this kind of thing have to do with the people of the world?"

Ma Yunlu curled his lips and wanted to speak, but Wei Chu blocked his mouth with a certain part of his body.

Another battle ensued.

It wasn't until the system's voice sounded again that Wei Chu gasped and fell back on the bed.

"Yunlu, you went to the Protectorate of the Western Regions some time ago. How much has changed in the Protectorate of the Western Regions now?"

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Ma Yunlu said feebly while putting on his clothes: "My father and my brother integrated the military forces of all the countries in the Western Regions, and organized the [-] troops from all the countries in the Western Regions into the Han Auxiliary Army. . Now we have complete control over the countries in the Western Region."

Wei Chu nodded slightly and took control of the armies of the countries in the Western Regions. This was Wei Chu's suggestion to Ma Chao and Ma Teng.

Bring some together, unite some, divide some, and isolate some.

As long as the countries in the Western Regions have no troops, it will take at most 50 years for the Western Regions Protectorate to be renamed Xizhou.

"At the same time, a large number of Han people poured into the Western Region Protectorate. The current Western Region Protectorate is very lively. The size of its Gancheng has nearly doubled, and the city walls have been reinforced. There are merchants entering and leaving Gancheng every day."

"but……"

Seeing Ma Yunlu hesitate to speak, Wei Chu couldn't help but asked: "But what?"

Ma Yunlu glanced at Wei Chu, then lowered his voice and said, "There are businessmen heading west, deep into the territory of Rome. At a seaside, they found tens of thousands of troops gathering."

"The businessman made some inquiries and was finally told that these troops were preparing to invade the Han Dynasty eastward."

"Rome, the sea, the army?"

Wei Chu didn't frown slightly.

In this era, the emperor of Rome should be Commodus, a tyrant who liked fighting and competitions.

For merchants heading west, the sea they arrived at was either the Black Sea or the Mediterranean Sea.

The presence of a Roman army on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean or Black Sea was indeed a bit unusual.

"Not bad!"

Ma Yunlu nodded slightly and continued: "My father and Uncle Han analyzed that as the Western Region Protectorate became more and more stable, the Silk Road became more and more unobstructed. More merchants traveled all the way to the Silk Road through the Silk Road. West, entering Kushan, Parthia, and Rome.”

"Silk, ceramics, and tea are all as valuable as gold in the West. Probably because of this, the Romans wanted to send troops to conquer us. The Romans wanted to plunder the wealth in our hands."

Seeing that Wei Chu didn't speak, Ma Yunlu smiled and continued: "But you don't have to worry too much. There is a long distance between Rome and us. In addition, there are Anxi, Guishan, Kangju and other countries lying between the two countries. , it is impossible for the Roman army to reach the Han Dynasty."

After listening to Ma Yunlu's words, Wei Chu frowned and stood up.

Unlike the optimistic Ma Yunlu, Wei Chu was very wary of the Romans.

"In case Rome becomes aggressive, Anxi, Kushan, and Kangju are either afraid of or envious of the powerful Han. If the Romans send people to lobby these countries in advance, they will most likely form an alliance."

"When the Romans marched eastward, Parthia, Kushan, and Kangju, even if they would not send troops to assist the Romans, they would at least provide convenience for the Romans' military operations."

What Wei Chu said was not to scare himself.

Historically, the Romans had made plans for an eastern expedition, but they lost their way and did not reach China.

Now the Han Dynasty has regained control of the Western Region Protectorate, and the Northern Huns have been almost exterminated.

Kangju in the west must be trembling now.

In addition, the news of the great Han's wealth must have reached the ears of Anxi, Kushan and other countries.

Therefore, Anxi, Kushan, and Kangju would probably be very happy to support the Roman army in the eastward expedition and let the Romans find out the true and false status of the Han Dynasty. With them leading the way, the Romans would most likely not get lost.

In addition, from an internal analysis of Rome, the Romans also needed an eastern expedition.

Because conflicts in Roman society increased dramatically at this time, the slaves were dissatisfied with being enslaved and wanted to revolt. The free people also wanted to revolt because the slave owners had taken away their land and because the slaves had taken away their jobs.

There are also Syrians and Egyptians who are fighting for independence.

Rome now desperately needs a foreign war to alleviate domestic conflicts.

Of course, the most important point is that Rome needs to rely on plunder to obtain more wealth.

"If this is the case, then do we need to notify my elder brother immediately so that he can prepare."

"Need not!"

Wei Chu waved his hand towards Ma Yunlu, "Rome is far away from the Han Dynasty. It will take at least half a year for the army to reach the Western Region Protectorate."

"Wait for a while. After Bingzhou is captured, I will personally lead troops to the Western Region Protectorate."

Wei Chu's words were a bit beyond Ma Yunlu's expectations.

"There is no need for you to go to the Western Region Protectorate in person. We are not sure whether this matter is true or not."

"necessary!"

Wei Chu nodded to Ma Yunlu, and then said: "First, if Rome really goes east, it will be a huge crisis for the Han Dynasty. Because Rome is a powerful opponent."

Rome was invincible in Europe and was mythologized by Europeans.

Historically, the Han Dynasty had never fought against Rome.

Therefore, Wei Chu felt that he should be more cautious.

Once tens of thousands of Roman troops were allowed to successfully enter the territory of the Han Dynasty. This would be a disaster for the big man.

"Second, even if Rome does not conquer the east, Rome is our enemy after all. So if we have the opportunity, we should take the initiative. The first step is to at least occupy Kangju."
