Chapter 302: Thunder Strikes

Liu Ze returned to Beijing and remembered Cao Cao's voice and smile, although the deceased was gone, how could this heavy feeling be relieved for a while. At this time, the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong, Qiao Xuan, Huang Chengyan, etc., have either passed away, or are in their twilight years, and cannot be directors, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xu Shu, Dong Zhao and others are also old people in their sixties, fortunately, Liu Ze has always paid more attention to the body of his subordinates, and used the advantage of his own crossing, and the big tonic pill has rewarded everyone less. If there are so many old men in the DPRK and China, and there is no new force injected, it will inevitably make people feel gloomy, but the elites of the new generation are all in Persia, thinking of this, Liu Ze can't help but feel anxious. Ending the war one day earlier and letting Xiao Liangliang return to the dynasty to prepare to succeed Xun Yu as prime minister is a major event that Liu Ze has been planning for many years. It's just that the war is not over for a day, and Zhuge Liang still has to rely on the front line.

In Liu Ze's worries, the opportunity came. Eragabarus was really in trouble in Rome, in 222 A.D., in Julia. With the acquiescence of Misa, the Guards made a new feat and killed the hapless emperor. Elagabarus reigned for less than four years, and his prowess, no less than the mediocre emperor in Chinese history, this man only cared about pleasure, and did not have a relationship, and had a very poor relationship with the Senate and the army. The fate of the Roman emperor seems to be closely linked to the personal guard, and whoever controls the guard will be able to hold the emperor's life.

Misa's eyes searched everywhere and he took a fancy to his fourteen-year-old grandson, Alexander. Severu. Alexander. Severus was favored by the god of fate and ascended to the throne of Roman Emperor. The change of the throne of the Roman Empire, the domestic turmoil, although there is Misa suppressed in the background, as the saying goes, Qin Hui still has three good friends, not to mention the generation of emperors who have reigned for more than three years, the cronies of Elagabarus are not willing to be left in power, and take advantage of every opportunity to prepare to turn the tables.

In the past few years, the Han and Roman merchants have joined forces to dump the Dragon and Tiger Pill in Rome, and the young women of different races have opened taverns to sell the high wine of the Han Dynasty and earn a lot of money.

Liu Ze immediately instructed Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu that it was time to launch a thunderous blow against Rome.

In the past five or six years, with Xun You's ability, he has built thousands of warships and trained more than 200,000 sailors. Zhou Yu's navy cruised in the Mediterranean, and he had a clear understanding of the enemy's arrangements along the coast, and after receiving Liu Ze's edict, he immediately flew to Minnagara and asked Xun You to send troops there.

Since Zhuge Liang arrived at the Persian front, it is needless to say that the husband and wife got together, thinking of Huang Yueying's original prophecy, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart. Liu Qian handed over the military affairs and returned to Babylon City with Liu Ye. Jiang Wei, as the second-in-command of the army, rushed to meet Zhuge Liang and had a conversation, and Zhuge Liang praised Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei is more than 20 years younger than Zhuge Liang, and he is in his prime at this moment, seeing that Zhuge Liang is a pedantic celestial, omniscient, and omniscient, he talks to him, and his heart is drunk, so he serves him as a teacher.

Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei reorganized the army, and the front-line troops had reached more than 600,000 at this moment.

With the strong political propaganda ability of the Han army and the efforts of Pang Tong's missionary team, the young and strong people in the occupied land quickly accepted the teachings of the Yanhuang Sect, and the foreign soldiers were enthusiastic about the conquest of Rome. In this way, the morale of the army was available, and the troops, in accordance with the battle plan, quickly entered the reserve area and prepared to launch an attack.

Guan Yu's army sent troops from Egypt and Libya and marched westward along the southern shore of the Mediterranean, capturing Carthage and Mauritania to deter Spain from the south. Zhang Fei led an army and attacked the Macedonian region. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Zhou Tai and others each led an army to attack the Mercia and Dacia regions in the north of Macedonia, and after occupying the two places, they advanced to the west, moving south from the north to the north of Rome. Zhou Tai, Wen Ping, Ling Tong and others took naval warships, coasted westward, and reached the southern tip of the Italian peninsula, Lichion, and after occupying the city, the army went north to attack the city of Rome.

Zhou Yu's navy crisscrossed the Mediterranean, occupying various islands in the sea, from east to west, including Cyprus, Crete, Corinth, Sicily, Corsica, and the Sardinian islands. He then landed in Gaul and captured Lyon. After occupying Lyon, one part of the army went south, cooperated with Guan Yu's army, captured the Spanish region, and crossed the Alps to attack the Germanic region.

The army of water and land is as many as one million, and the number of logistics supplies is huge, Zhuge Liang sent a letter to Deng Ai and Ma Chao, ordering the two to organize young and strong, stop looting, and go all out to transport grain and grass.

The military order was issued, and the time for the attack was set for 6 July.

On the eve of the attack day, Zhuge Liang strolled out of the tent, the breeze with a slight salty smell of the Mediterranean Sea blew, his mind was wide, he looked at the Han army Dazhai from afar, the fire was shining, and the soldiers had all fallen asleep except for those on duty; Dazhai stretches, directly to the sky. Zhuge Liang ascended to a high ground, and the Mediterranean Sea was densely packed with torches, reflecting the dense figure of warships. Looking up at the sky, the stars are shining, the emperor star is bright, located in the tail and the field, shining brightly. Zhuge Liang was determined in his heart, and secretly prayed: Liang was originally a village man in the mountains, and the emperor did not give up, and he has won many great responsibilities, and to this day. The emperor did not humble himself with brightness, paid the heavy responsibility of the Dutch country, and conquered Rome. The sky has a spirit, bless the Han Dynasty, may our army be victorious, the horse will be successful, and the Roman land will be included in the territory of our Han Dynasty as soon as possible, the emperor is very lucky, and the world is very lucky.

Zhuge Liang's prayer was over, he opened his eyes, and then looked at the starry sky, only to see the sky above Persia, the stars were shining, prosperous, and secretly happy. Suddenly, a meteor pierced the sky and fell to the ground, and he was shocked in his heart, secretly saying that this time he was fighting, and he didn't know which general had fallen here.

Shi Ma Tan was accompanying him, and when he saw Zhuge Liang's solemn face after the meteor, he couldn't help asking, "I don't know why the general suddenly had a sad face?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Can you read astronomy? ”

Ma Tan replied: "My brother is good at astronomy, but unfortunately he is not interested. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The Roman Empire is powerful, and although it has been drawn many times, it is still a behemoth; Misa is a shrewd and capable man who has been in control of Rome for a long time, and his foundation has been solidified, and although he has established a new emperor, he still has exclusive power. This time, our army went on the expedition, and the number of victories and defeats was still five or five. Watching the sky at night, the emperor star of the Han Dynasty is bright, and the star is bright, on the other hand, Rome, the emperor star is dim, the star is dim, and our army will surely win a great victory. It's just that a meteor crossed, and the main army lost a general, and it was in a heavy mood. ”

Ma Jian said: "In the battle on the battlefield, death and injury are inevitable. The confrontation is imminent, and the general should gather his mind and deal with it with all his might. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "What I often say is that I lost my temper. I don't know what young Chang thinks about this battle? ”
