Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms

Although he was criticized by thousands of people, Octavian remained calm.

"Send someone to get the news of the Northern Duke's intention to go south!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the senators who supported Octavian walked outside. If the team is not complete, it means they have not taken sides at all. Those who sit on the fence will never have a good ending.

"Your Majesty Caracalla, don't forget that you are the emperor of Rome!"

"Your Majesty Octavian, I'm glad you still remember this!" Caracalla's face suddenly turned gloomy, and Octavian's words were like a slap in the face.

Is a Roman emperor who cannot even control his army really a Roman emperor? If Nero remembered to inform Caracalla in advance of his conquest of Heaven, then Octavian’s sudden military action was not informed to Caracalla at all.

Whose Rome is this?

Octavian paused, and suddenly realized that Rome was no longer his Rome. He used to not need to report too much to anyone for anything he did.

But now it is different. The emperor of Rome is Caracalla. Even though many people are willing to follow him, he is now unable to carry the imperial will of Rome, so he cannot become the emperor of Rome again.

He had subconsciously avoided this point before, and this led to a result, a result that was exactly as Caracalla said.

Whose Rome is this?

Octavian was suddenly caught in a dilemma. Seizing power at this moment would break the tacit understanding between him and Nero, and would also break the political balance of Rome, which would inevitably lead to civil strife.

However, the city of Jumon was like a thorn in the throat, which he had to get rid of. For a monarch like Octavian, they would never allow the existence of garrisons from other empires near the city of Rome.

Even though there were many deep-seated reasons behind this, and even though the north had already been occupied, Octavian still would not accept it.

He could recognize the unequal treaty between Rome and Xinghan until he was able to tear up the treaty. This was a compromise when he was not strong enough.

But the compromise is not complete, they need to make some struggles to make the compromise more decent.

From Octavian's strategic point of view, capturing Jumonga was an absolute must, and now was a godsend opportunity.

No matter how fast the reinforcements from Xinghan arrived, as long as he took over the defense of Jumeng City and drove the Xinghan soldiers in the city to the north, the previous conditions would remain unchanged. He could even give up some of his interests and maintain the independence of Rome.

At least he could not accept that the armies of other empires could appear unimpeded around the city of Rome.

A glorious empire, people will always miss its glory. Having witnessed the ultimate sublimation of Rome in the imperial war, Octavian believed that it was his responsibility to make Rome great again.

But when a glorious empire is cut in half, there is more helplessness, just like people will miss that steel country, but no one will think of recreating that country.

"I will report this matter in full to His Majesty Caracalla afterwards!"

Octavian chose to compromise. Even though he knew that what he should do at this moment was to overwhelm Caracalla, he still chose political compromise.

Caracalla was a little surprised. He didn't expect Octavian to make concessions. He thought that today would end in a fight between both sides.

Octavian's projection disappeared among the Senate, and Caracalla fell into a brief silence. He looked at the eyes of the senators around him and realized that he seemed to have completed a power grab, and he was about to truly begin to take charge of part of this empire.

"Your Majesty Octavian, we have found out that more than half of the Northern Duke's troops are from the Star Han Empire. These soldiers are quite elite!"

The scouting city guardian sent the message back to Octavian, who silently looked at the completely undefended city in front of him.

At this moment, he also became hesitant. He seemed to understand at this moment why Caesar said "the dice has been cast" when he crossed the Rubicon.

Once the dice are rolled, there is no going back.

The resistance of the Senate and the strength of Xinghan will bring unexpected consequences.

Octavian was hesitating whether the sovereignty of Rome was really worth the cost to achieve.

And whether he can completely occupy Jumeng City and expel the Xinghan garrison before the northern army moves south.

It is a mystery what the combat effectiveness of the northern army mixed with Xinghan soldiers is, but what is certain is that Xinghan will not do useless work. Perhaps this is the backup plan prepared by the opponent.

"Your Majesty Octavian, the Xinghan envoy requests to see you!"

Just as Octavian was thinking at high speed, a guard reported.

"Please come in!" Octavian calmed down and guessed who was coming.

Su appeared silently behind Octavian, he wanted to ensure Octavian's safety.

"Your Majesty Octavian!" Zhuge Liang greeted Octavian with a relaxed expression. Octavian did not see any worry on Zhuge Liang's face.

"Mr. Zhuge!" Octavian also greeted Zhuge Liang with a normal expression, and there was no sign at all that he was at the gates of the city.

"Your Majesty Octavian, why did you bring your troops here?" Zhuge Liang did not beat around the bush and questioned Octavian directly.

"Haha, Mr. Zhuge, aren't you afraid that I will detain you here?" Octavian did not give a direct answer, but answered the question with a question.

Zhuge Liang was naturally too lazy to pretend to be ignorant like Octavian.

"Jumong City is empty. His Majesty Octavian has brought his troops here. Could he be here for a picnic? But if His Majesty Octavian wants to, he only needs to tell Liang. Why bother with the use of force?"

"But before that, I need to ask clearly, does His Majesty Octavian intend to tear up the alliance between Xinghan and Rome?"

There was a hint of threat in Zhuge Liang's tone, as if he didn't care at all about Octavian's threat of detention, nor did he care that he was in Octavian's army at the moment.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's fearless expression, Octavian became more and more hesitant. He felt as if he was caught in a big net.

He didn't understand where Zhuge Liang's confidence came from. After much thought, he could only attribute it to the strength of the Xinghan Empire and the fact that the northern army was moving south.

"Could it be that he deliberately left Jumeng City empty? In order to induce me to tear up the alliance? Then he could send his army to the border, and then..."

Octavian didn't dare to think about it any further. The last time Xinghan came, he was under the banner of an ally, and the subsequent division of interests was indeed based on the position of an ally.

But if the other party takes the initiative to set a trap this time, causing him to break the covenant...

The problem with smart people is that they tend to think too much, especially when facing a being of extraordinary wisdom.

When Sima Yi faced Zhuge Liang's Empty City Plan, he thought too much and too complicatedly, and then became a stepping stone for Zhuge Liang's wisdom.

There was even a second scam, with the funny incident of the dead Zhuge scaring away the living Zhongda.

Octavian knew countless people, and although he could not read minds, he could still see into people's hearts.

He was sure that Zhuge Liang's confidence was not pretended, but real confidence, which must come from a strong support.

The scouts he placed in the city did not observe the army coming in or out, so judging from the current situation, the only problem was definitely the army heading south.

With the thorn of Jumeng City, their space boundary barrier could not cover the entire Roman territory at all. At most, they could only set up the barrier in a circle with the radius from Rome City to Jumeng City.

This means that if the army heading south really has problems, they can build a space portal on the spot and attack from another direction.

Amidst his confused thoughts, Zhuge Liang quietly removed the aura of mental retardation. This thing combined with the elimination of Xun You's existence was simply the most terrifying thing in the world, especially after Zhuge Liang blended the two things together, the person involved could not detect it at all.

He did not imitate Zhou Yu's choice of reducing intelligence on a large scale, but chose specialization. This may be useless in the level of the imperial war, but in this one-on-one game, it can give him an advantage.

Bound by chaotic thoughts, Octavian remained silent for a long time amid Zhuge Liang's questioning. Eventually, his momentum declined again and again, and he completely lost the courage to fight to the death.

He is not Caesar, he is a political god, and political compromise is sometimes endless.

The resistance from behind, the uncertainty from the front, and Zhuge Liang's momentum eventually made Octavian choose to give up the risk.

Being invincible is very important in politics, so Octavian chose to give up this opportunity to completely unify sovereignty.

"Haha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, where did this come from!" Octavian said with a smile.

"It's my fault. I forgot to inform you. I received news that the Kingdom of Heaven will launch a surprise attack from reality. Jumeng City is the trade center between Xinghan and Rome, so I brought troops here to defend this place!"

Octavian made up excuses without hesitation, and looked very righteous. If Zhuge Liang had not seen through Octavian's plan, he would have been really deceived at this moment.

However, Zhuge Liang did not choose to expose Octavian. For him, being invincible was also a good choice.

Although provoking a war between the two countries might bring greater benefits, it was not in line with Zhuge Liang's ideas on governance and military affairs.

Reversing the disadvantage in the safety of Mengcheng and restoring the balance between the two sides would also put Zhuge Liang in an invincible position.

"Your Majesty Octavian is kind and righteous, but I, Zhuge Kongming, have been judging him with a mean heart." Zhuge Liang followed Octavian's words and tried to back off.

The two sides exchanged hypocritical greetings for a long time, and it was obvious that they had prepared everything well, but in the end, nothing happened.

However, for Octavian, it did not seem to be a draw. He failed to achieve any merit after getting involved in the game. Instead, he alerted the enemy in advance and intensified the domestic conflicts. In the end, he could only station his army outside the city of Jumonga and serve as a guard.

Shortly after Zhuge Liang left the camp, the northern army heading south immediately began to station in the same place, which made Octavian even more certain that there was something fishy going on.

"Although he is young, he is like an old fox. He is really troublesome!" Octavian looked unhappy. Zhuge Liang was too troublesome.

Young and capable, he was completely on the same level as him. He even felt that Zhuge Liang was a combination of him and Nero, possessing the best political and military skills of mankind...

Even he had to be fully prepared to face this kind of monster.

Just as Octavian's thoughts were drifting, Zhuge Liang, who had returned to the city, also let out a breath!

"It's done!"

He was well aware of the anger in Octavian's heart, which had been shattered by his empty city strategy. As long as nothing unexpected happened next, he would be able to turn the tables.

"The God of War... isn't invincible, is he?"

Zhuge Liang chuckled. His original awe of the god of war had completely disappeared after Octavian cut his own sword and then suppressed the opponent with his own hands.

There is one big difference between the Roman military gods and the Han military gods. That is, the Han military gods basically have an invincible spirit of being undefeated in all battles. It is harder than climbing to heaven to make them admit that they have lost.

But this was not the case in Rome. Even Caesar, the most outstanding military leader, often made mistakes. He only performed well in crucial wars, but at other times he would always make mistakes for unknown reasons.

Losing in Rome didn't mean anything. As long as they didn't lose miserably, they would have another chance. Therefore, they had a strong tolerance for failure. Even the Roman barbarians had this idea.

This is also an important reason why Rome has not collapsed yet, and Rome’s powerful image has not completely collapsed.

The battle with the Mongol Empire was fierce, but Rome still won in the end, and even publicly executed the enemy's god of war.

This is also the reason why Rome is weird now. Some people have realized the cruelty of reality, some people are immersed in the glory of the past, and some people are wavering between cruelty and glory.

One country, three ideologies, and even multiple leaders, but there has been no civil unrest so far. All we can say is that Rome has its own national conditions.

However, although Zhuge Liang overcame the psychological hurdle, unlike Yue Fei, he still did not become a military god.

Like Zhang Fei, he pursued omnipotence to the point that he was unable to cross the last threshold.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Ordinary large army commanders can only deal with one or two large army commanders, but Zhuge Liang is different. He is so versatile that he almost crushes others at this level. So he can fight a stack of large army commanders and crush others like a god of war.

Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were to join forces now, I'm afraid they would only have a 30% chance of winning.

However, facing the real God of War, Zhuge Liang still suffered a disadvantage. He was a bucket monster, and the God of War was not much worse than him even in his shortcomings, and his strongest point completely crushed him.

“Is it the basics that are lacking?”

Zhuge Liang did not believe in those false and ethereal things. He believed more in what he had learned and understood.

Realizing that there is still a gap between himself and the God of War, he will continue to learn the basics. When one day he reaches a certain level in all areas, becoming the God of War will be a natural thing.

Without any regrets, Zhuge Liang entered heaven again.

The battle with Octavian was over, but he still had to snatch some more prey from the jaws of Rome.
