"I want to talk to Your Excellency about the future, about the future of Rome, about the future of Your Excellency, and about the future of all your soldiers!" ”

"Huh! Your Excellency is worthy of being a member of the Senate, and you really have a lot of experience. Xu Ding smiled, this Chuanpu is a bit capable, it is estimated that he wants to surrender without a fight, but he still raised his hand generously and said:

"Okay! Your Excellency can tell me what you think, and I'll hear it! ”

Chuan Pu was not overjoyed, but calmly spit out: "The Roman Empire is the greatest country in the world, it has a vast territory in the world, a huge population, and is the only empire that has a sea, and we have the most advanced warships in the world, which can attack any place where there is a sea.

There are dozens of vassal states, Rome has the most advanced civilization, has the most books and materials, and is the most vibrant and dynamic country, so the future of Rome is bright and smooth, it can accommodate and satisfy all those who are willing to dedicate themselves to it. ”

Speaking of this, all the Roman generals and soldiers behind Chuan Pu showed a look of pride, proud and glorious of the Roman Empire.

Don't be funny about the most vast territory, do you really understand?

The largest population, since ancient times, there has not been much more in the East China, and every dynasty and generation has crushed any country.

Xu Ding shook his head and sneered, poured a basin of cold water and said: "I'm sorry Your Excellency Chuanpu, I can't agree with what you said, in my opinion, the Roman Empire is very bad, and it is terminally ill and incurable." ”

"First of all, Rome is very large, but it does not have the Great Han of the East or our Great Qin in the past.

As for the population, we were in the tens of millions a long time ago.

As for civilization, I'm sorry it's not as good as the East, but I don't see everything here that a civilized country should have, but what I see is bloody violence, and the whole Roman culture is full of blood, and your so-called civilization is nothing more than a harnessing the brutal exploitation of slaves.

You don't have to deny it, because you can't deny it at all, my people and I came out of the Colosseum, what kind of existence is there, and I don't think anyone knows better than us that the barbarism of your Roman Empire is not much less than that of other so-called barbarian barbarians. Xu Ding looked at Chuanpu, who was about to open his mouth with his chest rising and falling, and then said:

"So there is no future for such a Roman Empire, you will eventually destroy what you do best, an empire that does not know how to sympathize with the people, does not know how to appease the people, and does not care about the lives of ordinary people for their own pleasure."

Chuan Pu was silent for a moment, and then said: "This question may be a little too big, Your Excellency is also from a noble background, you should know what the foundation of the empire is?" Well, let's not talk about this topic for now, let's talk about your personal future and the future of your army. ”

"Listen up." Xu Ding didn't dwell on the previous question, because these things themselves are unclear.

It's just that Chuan Pu put it forward, of course he has to express his position and firmly veto, otherwise how can he make his subordinates more determined about the cause they want to do.

Chuan Pu pondered for a while and said: "To tell the truth, Qin, your ability is very strong, you are so strong that few of us in the whole of Rome can compare, your bravery is unattainable in the world, you are a well-deserved strong man, but you are first and foremost a nobleman, and you are the same as us are the upper class."

You shouldn't betray yourself to help your enemies, as long as you put aside your prejudices, I think the empire is willing to open its arms to you.

Qin wants to pursue freedom, this is not wrong, you want democracy This is exactly the same as the goal of our Senate, and you also know how strong our Emperor Majesty has a desire to control, he wants to be a real dictator.

As long as you are willing to serve the Empire, I guarantee you will have a bright future, you will be able to stand from a higher starting point, and lead all of Rome in the fight against dictatorship and democracy. ”

It turned out that this old guy had this idea, and wanted to win himself over to serve the Senate.

Also! The new emperor Severus's men are all soldiers, all brave generals, and all generals who are good at fighting.

The Senate wants to fight against it and take back the power that should belong to the Senate, and naturally it also wants a general who can fight, and it needs a person with great influence and ability to fight against Severus.

Xu Ding's emergence and rise with an unstoppable attitude, aside from the original differences, is a more suitable candidate.

Or is it a pioneer cannon fodder, the identity of the clone can be picked up when it is used, and it can be stepped on when it is not used, which is too suitable for being used.

Since it can't be eliminated, then sugar-coated cannonballs.

There is one thing that is still very powerful in the culture of the Roman Empire, and that is flexibility.

This flexibility is not only reflected in the military system, but also in the political system.

The Romans could change their political system from the monarchy, then to the republic, then to the empire, and even to the four emperors and all that mess.

It was precisely because the Romans were able to change flexibly that they went through various forms of government, and finally ruled the Mediterranean for thousands of years.

So even if Alexander Qin is their enemy and is still hostile, it does not prevent them from winning over and persuading, and they do not mind that their opponent becomes an ally.

In short, the West's policies are more flexible, and of course they can be more interest-oriented, and they will not be too concerned about face.

In the East and in the Han Dynasty, the princes may also have interests and cooperation, but the performance is more subtle and subtle.

No one would talk about alliances in broad daylight.

But the Romans could, and even if necessary, found alliances and speeches, and were a wonder among all the nations of the world.

"It's really a broad and bright shortcut, I have to say that your words are very exciting, in fact, I don't want to fight with you to the death.

I am a seed, a seed of liberal democracy, and I want to bring new light to the whole of Rome and even to the Western world, and I have no intention of being an enemy of any kingdom or family or ruler.

For my enemies are only darkness, and where there is darkness there is me, and I bring light to redeem the world, and the world needs me. Xu Dingyang said with a smile on his hand, and then said:

"Your Excellency Chuanpu can talk about the last point, the future of my army!"

MMP, I've never seen you so shameless.

You bring light to redeem the world, the world needs you, to put it really high-soundingly, as if we are coming to ask to save mankind, will your conscience not hurt, and your face will not be red?

However, he also heard Xu Ding's overtone, Alexander Qin did not really want to overthrow Rome, and it was not impossible to cooperate with the Senate, everyone can talk about it.

So I was a little relieved to hear this, and it was good to be able to talk about it.

Being able to solve problems by political means is the way that their Senate likes and hopes the most.

"Qin, as long as you have a good future, your army will naturally have a good future, our Great Rome can tolerate you, and naturally we can forgive them, as long as you stop now, don't dare to say anything else, at least the number of your army can be maintained in one legion." Chuanpu smiled:

"You have proved with your strength that you are stronger than the Ninth Legion, and now the Ninth Legion is at least almost wiped out from above, and if nothing else, it is impossible to rebuild.

But if you, Alexander Qin, come to rebuild, I think there will be a new Ninth Army in full spirit, and I will be able to help you win the honor and treatment of a soldier to be stationed in the province of Macedonia, so that you do not have to leave your homeland. ”

I have to say that the conditions of Chuanpu are really superior.

If you change someone and are not prepared, you will be tempted to agree.

However, Xu Ding thought about it carefully and found that there were a lot of empty checks, and there were also plans to delay the army.

Chuanpu is just a patriarch, only responsible for his own invasion of the matter, the real master is still the group of patriarchs in Rome City, now Chuan Pu can agree to any conditions, and then the group of patriarchs can also regret not accepting.

Even deliberately put forward a harsh condition, then the rebel army is equivalent to being trapped.

Or Chuanpu has been setting off smoke bombs, deliberately luring Xu Ding to be fooled, and then nailing Xu Ding firmly to the province of Macedonia, and then quietly mobilizing troops to gather in the surrounding provinces to encircle the rebel army layer by layer, and once the time comes, immediately start a new offensive.

In short, either way, the initiative is still on the side of Rome.

And once Xu Ding reveals the meaning of loosening, the chips will naturally be lowered and tilted.

He couldn't agree to it, even if he really wanted to reconcile with the Roman Empire, it was not the right time.

"Bang Bang!"

Xu Ding slapped his face and praised: "It would be a pity if Elder Chuanpu didn't go to give a speech to run for the emperor, what you said was so good, too touching, thought-provoking, and reminiscent."

If my will is not strong enough, and my army is not brave and loyal enough, I will really agree to your conditions.

But I chose to refuse, because I only have faith in my heart, and I am not fighting for an individual, nor for a legion of thousands of people, but for the sake of thousands of people, for those slaves, slave farmers, and ordinary people who suffer and suffer from hunger and poverty, so that they can bask in the light and fight for a bright future for them.

I have faith in my heart, I am not afraid of difficulties, I am not afraid of life and death, for the sake of everyone, I am different from you greedy blood-sucking devils who lie on the backs of the people and suck blood.

All you have in your eyes is money, status, pleasure, and the pleasure of power, and the pleasure of fooling others.

I, Alexander Qin, do not want to go with you, I don't want to fall into hell with you, I am a seed, I seek light, I bring light to the world........."

Chuanpu's face turned from white to blue, from green to black, it was difficult to see the extreme, and his eyes were full of cold murderous intentions.

MMP yo, if you don't surrender, you don't surrender, talk so much big nonsense.

I'm suitable to run for the emperor, and you're more suitable.

It's not like this way to put a high hat on yourself, and it's even more high-sounding than me.

I can pull a calf better than I can.

No wonder this guy can be demagogic, which bastard sent him into the Colosseum in the first place, he should have pulled out a thousand cuts.

"I hope Your Excellency will not regret it, you will pay the price for your decision, your decision has also ruined the opportunity for the army under your command to pursue happiness, and you will not have a good result in reaping the malice of my Great Rome." Chuan Pu knew that he couldn't talk nonsense with Xu Ding, so he turned around and returned to his army.

Xu Ding pointed to Chuanpu and said to his subordinates: "See, this is their most shameless side, the deception fails, and they immediately turn their eyes to reveal their original form, everyone should take warning, we are fighting for the great cause of liberation for freedom, don't be confused by the enemy's sugar-coated cannonballs and go to the attempt."

When you encounter such a person in the future, you should kill it as soon as possible, so as not to defile your ears and lose yourself. ”

"It's the commander!" A group of people had already been brainwashed by Xu Ding, and when they heard these words, they all clapped their hands to show respect.

We are a seed, a seed of light, a seed of hope.

Where there is darkness, there is us, we shine the world, we fight for freedom and for everyone.

However, not long after talking, Xu Ding quietly withdrew from the east gate with his men and horses.

Of course, before leaving, he left a letter on the table in the Doge's Palace.

The letter reads that His Excellency Chuanpu personally opened.

Chuan Pu was very surprised, but he didn't expect Alexander Qin to leave him a letter.

"Could it be that this guy has figured it out and wants to quietly surrender to me!" Chuan Pu was overjoyed with the sheepskin letter, but when he opened it, his brows suddenly squeezed together.

"Your Excellency, when you read this letter, I think I will give it to you when I reach Kavala, and the city of Thessaloniki will give it to you, after all, you are also bent at the age, your kidneys are not good, and your teeth are not good, I promise that you will not be able to take Thessaloniki even if you fight to the death.

For your pity, I'll give it to you for nothing, remember that this is for you, you have to understand, you can only take what I give you, I don't give it to you, you have to come and take it, it will die, bless your Alexander Qin! ”

"Bang!" With a bang, a large palm print on the table made a shallow blood mark.

"Alexander Qin, I don't kill you, I swear not to be a man, I must kill all of you rebels." Chuan Pu was completely enraged, and said to the generals behind him: "Chase me, kill Alexander Qin at any cost, and wipe out this dirty, lowly and humble rebel army, must, must ......"

"It's the patriarch!" The two corps commanders and the four deputy corps commanders were silent, and then immediately went down to urge the troops to pursue eastward, leaving no time for Xu Ding to advance eastward.

After everyone left, Chuan Pu turned around, his originally cold face turned into a strange color, and he muttered softly: "Do you think I'm just angry?" Damn Qin wants to fight Thrace, there is the gold mine of the empire, and there is the economic vein of the empire.

The province of Thrace was home to the most important gold mines of the Roman Empire, one of Rome's main sources of economy, accounting for a large part of its financial expenditures.

It was because Rome occupied this place that there was a capital that rose later.

Four or five hundred years ago, the Macedonian Empire also occupied this place to have the basis for expanding its hegemony.

At the same time, this is also why after the rebel army led by Vera Tuoli and Meng Du to the north, Chuan Pu had to chase them first, defeat and destroy them first.

They were afraid that they would go east in the northwestern part of the province of Thrace, and then go to the gold mines, plunder the gold produced there, and destroy the economic pillars of the Roman Empire.

Now that Xu Ding has opened the passage into the Thracian province, he will definitely go there to patronize it, how could Chuanpu allow such a thing to happen.

If he did not pursue it as soon as possible, the news would have spread back to Rome, and the new emperor's men would have seriously injured him, saying that he had discussed it with Alexander Qin.

It is said that Alexander Qin used the city of Thessaloniki to exchange Thrace with him, and then he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Mediterranean.
