The lively New Year passed, and the spring came, and the weather warmed up until the beginning of March, and a little snow still left on the grass, rocks, and gravel, and in the next second, the churning horses' hooves stepped down, swirled up the soil, and the horse team of 100 people galloped away from the field, extending the direction of the past, which was a military camp that stretched for dozens of miles.

The horse team entered the gate, and the noise of the market was like the noise of the market drowning out the sound of the galloping horses' hooves.

Traders from the Central Plains set up stalls in the camp to face the passing Han Chinese, other merchants, and even occasionally see the Sabbatarians peddling some goods, or bartering for goods, more of which are patronized by soldiers on change of guard leave, and the place where they stop the most is a terrace not far from the barracks, scantily dressed Persian dancers twist their bare waists in vocal music, and under the veil, they occasionally throw winks at the Cylius in the audience, and the merchants who lead the team take the servants holding copper basins in front of them and shouting, flattering and begging for rewards.

In the distance of the crowded head, the figure taller than ordinary people walked through the crowd with the girl under the shoulder, most of the others were quite polite and avoided from afar, occasionally a few were happy to see, forgot to look at the road, and fell down, and then the man reached out in time to grab it, only to avoid falling to the ground, the man patted the soldier on the shoulder: "Look ahead when walking, be careful." There was a majestic and calm momentum in his tone.

"Dad, look at this sword ornament, is it good?" Lu Lingqi looked at the things in her hand, and raised them in front of Lu Bu quite happily, the latter smiled and nodded, and then swept around vigilantly to see if the young man who appeared that night would appear.

"There's still one ahead, go check out the next house."

"Hmm."

Soon, the father and daughter disappeared into the intertwined crowd. The flow of people spread around the military camp for dozens of miles to form a unique atmosphere, and in the tent camp with the word Lu hung on it, words came out from time to time, Lu Xun sketched and wrote the accounts, and compared them with the accounts of several caravans of the Lu family.

"The eldest prince has been a little tired recently, and now our Lu family has also taken the lead in the Western Expeditionary Army, so far a trip is better than operating in Lujiang for ten years, and the old man sometimes can't help but run to .....the warehouse, open the box, and the glass, gold ornaments, and ivory in it are simply dazzling these old eyes....... I have never seen such wealth in my life."

The one who spoke was an old man, and he was also a person who had been busy with the Lu family for half his life, after comparing the accounts from the eldest son, the old face was smiling, there was nothing like the Lu family, who had seen it all his life, and he was excited to stand up again, and the eldest prince in front of him had been busy for more than half a year, and he was also grateful.

"A businessman is a non-long-term thing, the Lu family can't do business forever, at this time, pull down the face to do it, you have to do it in one go, and the descendants will be blessed, and the province complains about our predecessors, but I can't rest now." Lu Xun sorted out the accounts and handed them to his subordinates, got up and walked to the tent, the sky was blazing outside, "It's ...... spring, the war is coming soon, this time we have to face the people of Daqin, rest the war here, that side must have known, then it will be a really tough battle, the time and place are favorable, and the time of day is not known where it is, but the location and the people must be on the side of Daqin, this time I can't say, that Gongsun Governor is going to change his style of play." ”

As he whispered, a cavalry passed through his field of vision, passed through the dense outer camp market, turned into the main road of the inner camp, galloped towards the Chinese army, dismounted and stopped before entering the big tent, and waited outside first if it was not an urgent military situation.

The flames in the tent were vigorous, and the surrounding decorations were full of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and beast skins, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Hua Xiong, Pan Feng and others pressed their hands on their knees, sat upright on their seats, and looked directly at the map hanging in front of them, and Gongsun Zhi's voice was continuing.

"..... to fight in Daqin, logistics is the biggest problem, so we have to make adjustments, and the previous blitzkrieg tactics can no longer be used, at least before taking the fortified city of Taixifeng."

"What does the governor mean, soldiers, horses, grain and grass marching together?" Ma Chao stood up and arched his hand: "In this way, we will have no advantage, and it is very likely that the Great Qin people will take advantage of the geographical advantage and attack the baggage." ”

"That's right, I was thinking about this place at the beginning." Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand to let him sit down, and pointed to the map of Ctesiphon and the Euphrates River to draw a horizontal line: "Rest and lose this city, along with this river, if you want to attack the hinterland of Great Qin, you can only steadily attack this place, but the Great Qin people may have arranged heavy guards, using the advantage of cavalry can only sweep the wilderness, can not realize the possibility of capture, and the rear of Great Qin soldiers and horses and grain and grass are still continuously supplied, and after a long time, it will be even more unfavorable to us." ”

"Governor, what's behind Ctesiphon?" Zhou Yu, who was dressed in a moire robe, looked at the map and came in.

"According to the signs, it should be hills, forests, and other terrain." Gongsun Zhi tapped his finger on it, his expression hesitated, and he turned his head to look at the other party, Zhou Yu stretched his brows and smiled: "Yu thought of a plan." ”

"Gong Jin is going to besiege the city and send reinforcements?"

The wide sleeves were spread, Zhou Yu nodded, and walked out of the seat: "If the governor can trust Yu, he might as well hand over this west to me." With a smile on his face: "...... In half a month, Ctesiphon was turned into an isolated city. ”

"Ce, go with Gongjin." Sun Ce next to him also stood up at the same time, and they have been together for many years, and they have been with each other all the way, and they have a brotherhood of callouse and calluse.

The figure in front of the map walked back and sat back behind the desk, the brazier was crackling and burning, Gongsun Zhi tore off the mutton on the plate, ate it in his mouth and chewed, after thinking for a while, he agreed to Zhou Yu's plan: "But you have to pass through Tai Xifeng and detour to the west, the number of people can't be too many, otherwise it will arouse the vigilance of the Great Qin people, but ....."

He wiped the oil stains on his hands, slapped it on the table, and looked at the generals below: "......It is obviously a bit whimsical to rely on a city to nail us here, and my grandson has been from the north from the horse thief to the princes, and the enemies he faces are so many thousands, how can he be afraid." ”

"When the armies of Guishan and Dawan come to gather, we will kill them." Gongsun Zhi withdrew his hand, his tall figure leaned forward slightly, and his voice was rough: "Sweep the field first, and then break the city, by the way, shock the army of Guishan, and tell them that there is only the voice of my big man in all the army." ”

"Yes—"

The roar of the tiger shook the tent in unison.

………..

At the same time, Ctesiphon, which was originally the capital of Parthia, had the banner of the Roman eagle hanging on its towering walls, and after capturing the city two years ago, Severus ordered the slaughter of the city for two days, as a necessity for outstanding military exploits, so that the population of more than 200,000 people in the past two years has decreased, or died, or moved away, and the city appears to wither.

This winter, he was shocked to receive the news of the attack on Parthia in the east, and then rejoiced, after all, the centuries-old feud between Rome and Parthia, if it could be united with the attacking army, this balance would soon be completely broken.

Emperor Severus, who had the title of 'Conqueror of Parthia', suspended his offensive against the city of Clark and instead sent an envoy to Parthian territory to look for possible allies after the winter snow had melted, but half a month later, the envoy had his head cut off, his body tied to his horse, and he was carried back.

The Roman Emperor Severus stood up from his throne with half-squinted eyes and drew his sword: "The enemy despises my Rome, and they will pay for it, and send orders to the generals on Ctesiphon's side...... Bring me their heads. ”
