Chapter 273: Roman Rebellion

Liu Ze said with a smile: "The city of Babylon was built by the ancient Babylonian kingdom, and it is a pearl standing on the plain of the two rivers. The civilization of the ancient kingdom of Babylon was almost equal to that of the Han Dynasty. There are also ancient Indian civilization and ancient Egyptian civilization, which are known as the four major civilizations in the world. ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The emperor's words are eye-opening. Different civilizations are different, and so are the ways in which they are presented. Tianzhu's house ministers have seen the round spire, the square spire of the Persian house, which is far from our Han Dynasty. Fahrenheit City has been an eye-opener for the ministers, and they can't imagine that this Babylon City is more distinctive. "

Liu Ze said: "If you go to Rome and see the huge Colosseum, you must have another kind of sigh. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, the ancients did not deceive me." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, there are ancients in the past, and there are people who come after, thinking about the world and the world, you and my brother are just in time for a grand event." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Every time I see the emperor, I must listen to wonderful theories." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Come inside, please, don't think about the ancient feelings anymore." ”

The two were talking and laughing, and Liu Ye walked in and laughed loudly: "The emperor is overjoyed." ”

Liu Ze smiled: "Ziyang is so excited, didn't you see Brother Meng De here?" ”

Liu Ye's eyebrows fluttered, he greeted Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "When you encounter a happy event, you get carried away." His Majesty, the Roman Emperor Caracalla, was killed by his chief of the guard, Macrinus. ”

Liu Ze was not familiar with this period of Roman history, and after Caracalla was killed, Macrinus proclaimed himself emperor and proclaimed his son Diadumenian emperor as emperor and ruled Rome with him. In order to maintain domestic stability, Macrinus signed an unequal treaty with Vologis VI, ending the war with Vologis VI. Macrinus changed the style of Severus and cut military spending, which led to extreme dissatisfaction with the army. At this time, Severus's sister-in-law, Caracalla's sister-in-law, Julia. Misa jumped out, and the scheming woman started a rebellion, and the guards, already resentful of Macrinus, killed Macrinus and his son Diadumenian. Misa set up his thirteen-year-old grandson Elagaballus as emperor, and Misa was certainly not willing to retreat into the background, and this woman, like the ambitious women of all ages, began to listen to the government, and the Roman Empire entered the era of women. Elagabarus didn't know which tendon was wrong, he worshipped the gods of the East, and he was extravagant at a young age, ignoring state affairs, and had a very bad relationship with the Senate and the army. Misa saw how it would be good to go on like this, since he could help you to the stage, he could also kick you down, and just like that, Elagabarus, who had been emperor for four years, was killed by the guards with the acquiescence of Misa. Misa also had a fourteen-year-old grandson, Alexander. Severus was emperor.

When Liu Ze heard this, he was also overjoyed, the more chaotic Rome is, the more beneficial it is to the Han army, the head of the Guards can be the emperor, it seems that the customs of Rome are different from those of the Han Kingdom, if this happens in the Han Dynasty, how can the head of the Guards have to support an orthodox puppet, and hide behind the scenes to manipulate, good guys, people ignore this set and go directly to the throne. If you think about it with the traditional thinking of the Han people, what kind of guy is this mark, it is estimated that the emperor's position will not last long, and the opportunity is coming, so you must seize it.

Liu Ze looked at Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De, can you Chen soldiers enter Rome on the border and enter Rome from other races?" ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "In order to stabilize his power, Emperor Mark must make concessions, and sending troops at this time can grab the greatest benefits." ”

Liu Ze looked at Liu Ye and said, "What does Ziyang mean?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "It's just that Vologis VI is still here, and his men and horses control the western part of Persia, how can our army pass?" ”

"Haha, Vologis is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself at this time. Ziyang, you inform Jiang Wei and ask him to investigate the situation of Vologis VI, and at the same time ask Jiang Wei to tell Vologis VI about the interests and harms, so as to facilitate the passage of our army. ”

Liu Ye agreed and hurriedly went out to write a letter.

Vologis VI didn't know what was going on during this time, his health was getting worse and worse, his body was sore, and he was weak and weak, and only with the help of the great Han's wine, he could feel a little refreshed. The Persian physician was helpless against Vologis' condition, Vologis VI pinched his nose and poured Persian herbs for more than ten days, and invited a group of magic sticks to dance for a while, and his body did not improve at all.

Vologis VI's ambition was delayed by his body, and he originally wanted to negotiate with the Han Emperor to come to the land of Persia and take a good look at himself, but unfortunately his body was not strong and he could not make the trip. His own cronies and subordinates, I don't know what's going on, are also mentally depressed. Vologis VI once wondered if it was a plague epidemic, but the ordinary soldiers were all fine and did not have this symptom. I was suspicious and suspicious, and finally I thought about the wine, but the Persian doctors tested the wine and found nothing abnormal. Vologis VI was helpless, feeling that God was no longer helping him, and the favor of the god of light accompanied Ardashir's departure and left him.

At this time, Jiang Wei became the highest status in Vologis VI's circle, and all the power was slowly gathered into his hands. Jiang Wei received a letter from Liu Ye and came to see Vologis VI.

Vologis VI listened to Jiang Wei's words and said weakly: "I can't let the Han army gain the benefits alone, the general can lead 200,000 troops to send troops to Rome with the Han army to seize the greatest benefits for my dynasty." Please, General Jiang Wei. ”

Jiang Wei looked at this down-and-out last emperor with a calm face, and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust and grab the greatest benefits." "It's just this emperor, not the last emperor in front of you.

Vologis VI didn't hear the change in Jiang Wei's tone in a drowsy state, took out the seal, stamped it with a big seal symbolizing power, and after Jiang Wei said goodbye, he hurriedly arranged people.

Macrinus rebelled against Caracalla, and he knew that he was not in the right position, so he put down his position and befriended the Senate, and in order to appease the anger of the Senate, he took advantage of his connections in the army and began to fan the flames and prepare to cut military spending. At this time, the border was in an emergency, and the 400,000 horses of the Anxi and Han allied armies, and the Chen soldiers border, millions of young people of different races, riding fast horses, had entered the Roman land and began to burn and loot. Macrinus almost didn't turn his back on it, Lao Tzu has just become the emperor not long ago, and this position is not yet stable, what do you say the coalition forces are here to make trouble? Once Lao Tzu recovers, he will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor.
