Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Qiu Jun thought carefully about whether his plan could be implemented, and when he finished thinking about it, Qiu Jun nodded helplessly and said:

"Alas, that's it, that's it, General Zhang is right, we are indeed not sure that the old thief of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire will destroy us first."

After Qiu Jun finished speaking, he hugged his fists at Zhang Liu with a serious face and said, "General Zhang, I am too wishful thinking, and I ask General Zhang to forgive me." ”

After Qiu Jun finished speaking to Zhang Liu, he hugged his fists to Lin An, the general of Zhenguo, and said, "General, the last general thinks that General Zhang's words are reasonable. ”

Lin An also took back his previous excited expression.

If Lin An was the only one who led the army that had been small in number, I am afraid that Lin An would take a gamble, but now Lin An is no longer alone.

Lin An can't just think about himself, after all, he still has many soldiers under his command, and there are also everyone's families behind the many soldiers.

Since Lin An is a lone army of the Chinese Empire in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, Lin An is the top boss of the town's soldiers.

Lin An is naturally responsible for the soldiers and generals, and he is now like the brother and father of the soldiers and generals.

Lin An nodded to Qiu Jun, he looked at General Zhang Liu, Lin An stared at Zhang Liu tightly and asked, "General Zhang, although General Qiu Jun also agrees with you, General Ben also thinks that the Aegean Islands are not suitable for holding. ”

Lin An stretched out his hand and pointed to the two places on the map and asked, "General Zhang, which of these two places do you think is more suitable for us to attack and defend." ”

Following the direction pointed by Lin An, the general of Zhenguo, the generals in the main tent all looked at the map.

Zhang Liu saw the place that Lin An was pointing to, and he clenched his fists at Lin An and said, "General, the last general thinks that both Crete and the island of Cyprus are suitable for our town to defend." ”

When the generals heard Zhang Liu's words, they all looked at the map with frowns, and they were all analyzing which was more suitable for holding Crete or Cyprus.

After analyzing, Ai Li frowned and pointed to the island of Cyprus and said to Zhang Liu: "General Zhang, I don't think that the island of Cyprus is suitable for us to hold. ”

Zhang Liu looked at Ai Li with a smile and didn't speak, he just raised his hand and made a gesture of please, signaling Ai Li to continue.

And some of the generals who were close to Ai Li's thoughts, they probably guessed what Ai Li wanted to say, so their eyes were mainly on Crete.

Ai Li continued, Zhang Liu and the general of Zhenguo, Lin An, and a group of generals who thought that the island of Cyprus and Crete did not matter, said: "General Zhang, you must also know that there are armies of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire and the Arab Abbasid Empire on the island of Cyprus today.

Since we already know that the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire is going to war with us, why should we provoke the Arab Abbasids?

Moreover, the distance between the island of Cyprus and our army is very long, although it will take us about a day to get there, even by boat.

But this meant that if we were to reach Cyprus by boat from the Mediterranean, we would face the Mediterranean navy of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

To be honest, the most ships we can find are merchant ships and civilian ships, and merchant ships and civilian ships are absolutely no match for the navy of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

If it was just ordinary ships, we could still be defeated, but the navy of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was very strong. ”

After Zhang Liu listened to Ai Li's words, he glanced at Ai Li in surprise, Zhang Liu didn't expect Ai Li to be so witty.

In Zhang Liu's impression, Ai Li should be a person who doesn't like to use his brain very much, and now Ai Li is really impressive to Zhang Liu!

"Papapa, papa!"

Zhang Liu couldn't help clapping his hands, he looked at Ai Li with admiration and said, "General Ai, you really surprised me!" I have to say General Ai, you really impress me! ”

Ai Li waved his hand and said: "Thank you General Zhang for your compliment, but please General Zhang say, why did you choose the island of Cyprus as the place for our army to attack and defend?" ”

"Huh!"

Zhang Liu couldn't help but smile when he heard Ai Li's words, and the other soldiers in the town also looked at Zhang Liu, Zhang Liu shook his head and said:

"General Ai, I ask you to understand that I have never chosen the island of Cyprus as the place where our army is about to attack and defend.

I'm just picking out three places that I think can hold on to and attract the power of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Emperor.

Whether it's the Aegean Islands, or the island of Cyprus, or Crete, I'm just picking them out.

I have picked out these three places because we need to discuss which one we should choose.

After all, the first emperor of our Chinese Empire said that unity is the greatest power, as long as we unite and discuss, then we will naturally be able to choose the most suitable place. ”

Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Ai Li was like a fist hitting the cotton, and Zhang Liu was the piece of cotton.

At this time, Qiu Jun pointed to the island of Cyprus and said, "General Zhang, General Ai, I don't think we need to care about the army of the Arab Abbasids on the island of Cyprus at all.

Anyway, our town** is already hostile to the Arab Abbasids, so why don't we wipe them out together. ”

At this time, Zhang Liu pointed to the island of Cyprus and said: "If our army wants to attack the island of Cyprus, then we can only attack the places that belong to the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

We don't need to think about the Arab Abbasids, and we can even unite with the Arab Abbasids to disrupt the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. ”

This is Han Yan, who has been standing by the side without speaking, finally stood up and said to Zhang Liu: "But General Zhang Liu, you must know that there is a feud between our town ** and the Arab Abbasids, even if we want to unite the Arab Abbasids,

People may not be willing to join forces with us to disrupt the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire! This is just your wishful thinking, General Zhang Liu. ”

When Zhang Liu heard Han Yan's words, he asked with a smile: "Then Old Han, do you mean that it is best for us to attack Crete?"

"Papapa, papa!"

Lin An, the general of the Chinese Empire who was standing on the side and quietly listening to the analysis of the generals, frowned, clapped his hands, and stopped the generals.

The generals looked at Lin An, who stared at Crete in the map with blazing eyes, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, after listening to your analysis, it seems that the most suitable place for us is this place, this place called Crete."

General Ben has decided, let's attack and seize Crete, and after conquering Crete, we can harass the Greek region of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire in the west.

And in the East, we can harass the region of Asia Minor in the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and General Ben thinks this place is the best! ”
