The Roman State, that is, the Central Plains called "Whisk", Anturo knew that if the abbreviated name of this country was pronounced in terms of pronunciation, "Rome" was more appropriate than "Whisk", but Rome and the Central Plains were one west and one east, and the pronunciation was passed back and forth.

Where the sun shines, there is naturally a country, and the so-called country is not only in the Central Plains, and in the same way, not only in the Central Plains, but also in the Central Plains, there are emperors and kings.

The Turkic state had a khan, the Persian state had a king of kings, and the Roman state also had a noble king, generally a double king, the main king's honorific title was "Augustus", and the vice-king's honorific title was "Caesar".

This kind of knowledge was known to well-informed Sogdian merchants, but the emperors and magnates of the Central Plains did not care about it, and only knew that they scolded the southerners as islanders and the northerners as suolu, and the countries outside the Central Plains were so-called "barbarian countries" in the eyes of the emperor and magnates.

It is a good thing that the East and the West do not understand each other, so the trade routes between the East and the West are maintained by Sogdian merchants, and it is precisely because of this that the huge profits from business have allowed Sogdian families and settlements of all sizes to flourish for hundreds of years.

For the Sogdians, who operated the trade routes between the East and the West, the orders placed by the noble Augustus had to be fulfilled, so the Sogdian caravans, who were absolutely trustworthy, had to bring the goods to Constantinople (Constantinople), the capital of Rome, no matter what.

Because Augustus himself set the pattern and had people draw a drawing, and a special mirror was to be made from this drawing, the Sogdian merchants could not use the inventory in their hands to meet the emergency, and Antura went to Jinyang to discuss the matter with another Sogdian chieftain.

The deal took years to complete, but they didn't want to delay it too long.

The Sogdians were divided into many families and settlements, scattered in various parts of the Eastern and Western trade routes, each doing their own business but often cooperating with each other, so Anturo did not undertake the task of transporting and delivering goods in this transaction, but assumed the heavy responsibility of purchasing goods.

So he had to find a way to go to Huangzhou to get this mirror done.

And Anturo must also go to Yuwen Wen to discuss some things and make plans for the future.

Anturo has been cooperating with Yuwenwen, and as he gets to know Yuwenwen, he has a more and more sense of crisis, Yuwenwen's business acumen is not comparable to other powerful people, not only will he make money, but his ambition is not small.

In terms of power ambitions, Antura knew that Yuwenwen was trying to plan a trade route that would threaten the Sogdians' financial routes, but the Sogdians were powerless to change.

Last year, Yuwen Wen captured the Chenguo Lingbiao area, and then a large number of Lingbiao and South China Sea specialties appeared in Huangzhou, and sold to the surrounding areas, among these goods, there are incense medicines and specialties from overseas, including incense medicines and specialties from Persia.

According to the information he collected, the king of Xiyang had the idea of opening up the sea trade and had put it into practice, so Anturo felt that a huge crisis was coming.

Because the main way of importing exotic incense medicine in the Central Plains was by land, that is, the land trade route operated by the Sogdians into the Central Plains, and once the sea route was unobstructed and the sea trade flourished, it is very likely that most of the incense medicines and special products produced by the Persian and Tianzhu countries arrived in the Central Plains by sea.

As a result, the land trade routes developed by the Sogdians for generations would face great competition, after all, the cargo of a single sea ship could be worth the cargo of dozens of land caravans.

Anturo knew that it would take at least a year for a sea ship to travel from Persia to Panyu in the Central Plains, but the huge cargo capacity of the sea ship could make up for the shortcomings of taking too long.

A fleet of several seagoing ships, even if half of them sank halfway, the profit brought by the remaining cargo was not surpass that dozens of land caravans could bring.

This is a huge crisis, but also a huge business opportunity, so Antura has to plan ahead.

He decided that he would also meet Yu Wenwen no matter what.

After the glass mirror is ready, it can be transported directly from Huangzhou to Guanzhong, and then the Sogdian caravan will go to Dunhuang through Liangzhou and Guazhou, where it will be handed over to another caravan to take with it, and then go to the Roman kingdom in the far west.

This is the route agreed between Anturo and the leader of the Jinyang Sogdians, and the key is that he wants to meet Yuwenwen, and Anturo really wants to meet the other party in person and be busy with his own affairs.

The problem is that this move is not a small risk, and once it is known by the prime minister, it will be copied all over the house.

。。。。。。

"Haha!"

Yu Wenwen sneezed a few times for no reason, and couldn't help but reverie, this situation is usually someone thinking about him, as for who is thinking, then I don't know.

Maybe it's Yang Lihua, Xiao Jiuniang and their children who are far away in Xiyang, maybe it's Wei Chi Chifan and his son who are far away in Yecheng, and of course, it may also be Wei Chi Xuan in Yecheng, Yu Wenwen knows that the other party is afraid that he is thinking about cramping and peeling him all the time.

Yuwen Wen ruined Yu Chi Dan's good things one after another, it is natural that the other party hates him to the bone, Yu Chi Shiro hates him so much, and it is natural that Yu Chi Wulang hates him.

However, Yu Chi Youqi didn't need to curse Yuwen Wen, because the two sides were about to draw their swords and meet each other, you cut me, I cut you, and see who was hacked to death first.

To the east of Ruyin and to the west of Wuyang, at the junction of the two city jurisdictions, at this moment, the army of Yuwen Wen and the army of Yu Chiyou Qi are about to start a decisive battle in the wilderness.

Yu Wenwen led the army from Ruyin in the west, and Wei Chi Youqi led the army from Wuyang in the east, the two armies faced each other from east to west, and their respective military formations spread out from north to south, with flags like the sea and loud trumpets.

The large array set up by Yuwen Wen is a rectangular horizontal formation dominated by infantry, with the infantry formation in the center, and the cavalry on both wings.

The large array was named Changhong Array by Yuwenwen, which was horizontally divided into the left army, the middle army, and the right army, and the front colonel, middle colonel, and rear colonel vertically.

The former colonel has three formations, with a total of 45 infantry buildings (300 troops), which is more than 13,500 people; Lieutenant colonels in five formations, with a total of 75 infantry buildings, more than 22,500 people; There were four formations of rear colonels, with a total of 60 infantry buildings, and more than 18,000 people.

There were more than 54,000 infantry in total, including regular officers, barbarians, volunteers, and clan soldiers.

There are also cavalry on the left and right flanks, which are also divided into front colonels, middle colonels, and rear colonels, to guard the left and right sides of the large array; There are also left and right colonel rangers, who are responsible for peripheral guerrillas, sentinel reconnaissance of the enemy, and at the same time responsible for dispersing enemy rangers.

Commander Yu Wenwen sat in the middle army, supervised the formation and decisive battle reserve with the Hulin army, Yang Su, the marching commander, led the left army, Han Baohu, the marching commander, led the right army, Shi Wansui, the marching commander, led the right wing cavalry, and Xue Shixiong led the left wing cavalry.

In the military formation of tens of thousands of people, there is a gap between the soldiers and the soldiers, not shoulder to shoulder, and there is also a gap of about five to ten steps between the combat units (teams, buildings), so the horizontal virtual and real length of the whole army formation is more than ten miles, and the longitudinal virtual and real length is more than four miles.

As the so-called tens of thousands of people are boundless, and tens of thousands of people are discharged from the large array, there is no end to the left and right, and the command can only be coordinated by banners and horns, and the command can only be given by the heralds who ride back and forth.

Yu Wenwen looked at the sea of people left and right, only to feel that his blood was boiling, and then looked at the larger enemy formation in front of him, and he was even more excited and short of breath: Yu Chi Youqi, I will definitely capture you alive in this battle, and exchange you for Yu Chi Chi Fan and Thorn Lang!
