Smile lightly, and look uplifted.

When this fair-skinned, black-haired, blue-eyed, delicate facial features, but because of her high position, she has a strong aura, when she made a little daughter at this time. Li Mi's mind was momentarily distracted.

As a person who has come over, Zanubia doesn't know how many such baptisms of eyes have been experienced. Seeing Li Mi's gaffe, his smile became even more charming: "How about it, Li, take your friends and stay together." I have already laid down Egypt. If you can resist the Roman attack in the future, I will give you Antioch. Make you a duke. ”

It's a pity that this queen doesn't know Li Mi at all, and she doesn't know the Han people. Her temptation only made Li Mi recover in an instant.

"What a word! He was promoted by the Great Sima and repeatedly entrusted with important tasks. The kindness of it is difficult to repay even if it is broken bones. Today, if you give up your parents' state because of the position of a mere duke, you will be a trustworthy person. Hugh said that he was ashamed of the entrepreneurial feelings of sharing weal and thin together in Fuling County, which is my family's ancestral hall, and I am afraid that I will not be allowed to enter! I don't have to say anything more! Your Majesty, either let me and others continue westward, or behead me first. Then I, the other men of the Han family, swear to fight to the end! ”

"Giggles, Lee, don't be angry. Well, the way you look when you're angry is really good-looking. You may be seated, you may be seated. I won't kill you, and if you don't want to sell me your things, I won't take them. Shall we have a chat? You've traveled so much, can you tell me how a small country caught between two big countries can survive? ”

"Whew~~~" The beauty laughed again, it was really hard to get angry.

"Her Majesty's words, after listening to it for a while, I feel that the situation of your country today is about similar to the situation of Zheng, Wei, Song and other countries sandwiched between Jin and Chu more than 700 years ago, during the period of Jin and Chu hegemony."

"Oh? So how are these countries coping? Tell me about it, please. Well, you guys go and pitch a tent. Don't let Lee get it. ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

Here Li Mi began to give a lecture to Zanubia, and Long Yu and the others were depressed over there - this is in the desert, with a sun above their heads, and it is very hot. But they didn't dare to pitch a tent or get off their horses to rest or something - God knows if there would be a fight?

Long Yu was depressed here, and farther away, Hormuz was also depressed.

I am the first in order of the King of kings! I'm not young anymore! I've been walking with you for so long with such a group of people. I can't lose you along the way, and I can't let you find out, brother, is it easy? Finally, the two of you have met together, so let's start fighting! When I get to a certain point, I'll come out and be a good person, and then everyone can happily go back to Ctesiphon to drink and have fun. What do you think you're doing? Why didn't you fight but chatted?

……

"That's pretty much it. In general, small countries are sandwiched between large countries, and the most important one is to sway with the wind. The Jin and Chu hegemony lasted for more than a hundred years, and those small countries that wanted to be independent all perished. The small states that were too firmly on the side of the Jin or Chu states either perished or were repeatedly attacked by the other side. Only those countries where Jin Qiang followed Jin and Chu Qiang followed Chu survived in the past hundred years. ”

"I see. Lee, what you said is very interesting. However, if you want to survive, you have to give up your dignity to please you. I can't do such a thing. ”

“…… Well, Her Majesty. Your will and character are greatly admired by the foreign ministers. Then, Rong Waichen said one more thing, my family's great Sima often said, 'Save people and lose land, people and land will be gained.'" Saving land and losing people, losing people and land'. If you have to meet with a great power on the battlefield, please remember these two sentences. ”

"Hmm...... Hey? What was that? ”

Far to the west, a loud military horn sounded suddenly, and under the military horn, there was a dense and neat drum sound that penetrated countless sand dunes and reached the ears of everyone here.

"This voice is a Roman!"

It seems to confirm what Zanubia said. Soon, on the nearest sand dragon in the distance, an image of a golden flying eagle first appeared. Then the eagle grew taller, revealing the scepter beneath the eagle's body, the standard for all Roman legions.

With the appearance of the eagle banner, more flagpoles appeared in everyone's sight. The regimental flag, the brigade flag, the squadron flag, and the hundred-man flag, are layered, neat and solemn.

Finally, the bugle stopped for a while, but the sound of the drums became clearer and clearer. Countless rustling footsteps came calmly and firmly. Above Shalong, there was a helmet mainly red with a few other colors, followed by the famous Roman one-piece helmet, and directly below the helmet were countless expressionless but extremely resolute faces. Underneath these countenances were the iconic striped armor of Roman infantry......

"This is, this is the Roman Sixth Legion! Look at the flag, it's the entire Sixth Legion that has arrived! Warriors, get ready for battle! ”

Not only Zanubia was frightened, but even Hormuz farther away was frightened: how could it be that such a large entire legion had penetrated so deeply.

You have to know that after Marius's military reforms, the number of Roman legions was a full six thousand. On the battlefield, whether it is Persia or Palmyra, without 20,000 men, it is impossible to eat such an army.

It was also the first time for Li Mi to see such a strict infantry phalanx, and he was also suppressed for a while. But when Zanubia began to call his soldiers to prepare for battle, he immediately came to his senses: "Your Majesty, don't panic, this legion is here to receive our mission." I am not here to make war with your country. ”

"What? Plum! Did you really get in touch with the Romans in the first place? ”

By the time Zanubia said this, the Roman Sixth Army on the opposite side had already completed its formation. Soon, three horsemen ran out of the infantry phalanx. One wears an integrated helmet with a long red tassel on the back of the helmet and a variety of decorative patterns on the armor on the front. One is typically worn by Persians. One is a pure Han family dress.

"Roman Empire, Flavi, commander of the Sixth Legion, on the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial cavalry, Lucius Domitius Aurelian. Come to meet the envoys of the Han Empire. Please ask Li Mizheng of the Han Empire to come out and answer! ”

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry that the minister has to leave."

"Well, it's a shame that I can't talk to Li for a while. If possible, when Lee returned from Rome, he was welcome to visit the city of Pamelal. ”

"It is a great honour to come and see how the country under the Queen is prosperous if you have the opportunity."

"Let's go. Hey, Lee, you're really good enough to have Rome send a legion to meet you. You know, a country the size of the Romans never had more than thirty legions. ”

"Thank you Queen!"

Got on the horse, turned around and glanced at Zanubia again, Li Mi came out of the crowd, and did not return to the main team of the Han army, and ran directly to the three people who ran out of the Roman legion: "The following is Li Mi, the envoy of the Han envoy to Rome, thank you for coming thousands of miles to respond." ”

As a time-traveler, Guan Yi knows two things very well: First, the rulers of Persia are by no means as arrogant, greedy, and brutal as they are portrayed in Hollywood movies today. On the contrary, before *** culture ruled the land. The Persians created a splendid and unique civilization. The people here are intelligent and industrious, and the rulers here are also wise and broad-minded. Therefore, it is feasible to establish official ties with Persia and have Persian officials intervene to ensure the safety and stability of trade routes.

Second, because the rulers here were wise, they were never willing to establish direct official ties between the Han and Rome. At this point, there is no need to leave anything to chance. Therefore, in this mission, except for Li Mi, Long Yu, Kurshan and others on the surface. He also inserted two shadows: Zhao Diao and Dai Yi.

After the official contact between Mulu City and Persia. Li Mi and the others followed the Persians to Ctesiphon. With the help of Daii, the two of them crossed the territory of Persia and contacted the Romans on the Mediterranean coast with great difficulty. The efficient Romans then quickly reported the news to Byzantium. Aurelian, the commander-in-chief of the imperial cavalry in Byzantium, immediately made a decision: we must establish direct official contact with the Han Empire. Send out a legion and venture deep into Syria to fetch the Han mission!

"Uncle Ling, fortunately not disgraced!"

"Uncle He, hard work!"

"Hahahaha, it's not hard, it's not hard, this generation is originally a Persian. We traveled all the way, that is, we were a little tired from the journey, and nothing else. Belch...... It's just that he was tied up very badly when he was met by the Romans, come, Lingbo, let me introduce to you, this is the current commander of the Roman Sixth Legion, who is known as the iron wall, General Flavi. ”
