"General, Your Majesty orders-"

The soldiers galloped up the city wall, and the Roman general named Gaius was standing at the head of the city of Ctesiphon, looking west, and the carts pulled by the horses drove into the city, and the soldiers who reported behind him only turned their faces slightly, reached out and took the emperor's letter, read it, and handed it back.

"Severus, the great Parthian conqueror, did you let me take the initiative?"

"The legend didn't say that."

"Hmm......" Gaieus was stout, his heavy cuirass seemed to have no weight on him, and his fingers touched the city wall and walked forward: "Your Majesty should know that we are facing the Celeus from the east, the Frithenes sent to hunt down the remnants of Clark City have been destroyed there, and the only one who escaped tells us about the strength of the Celestians, and the strange and changeable tactics." ”

“…… And the Parthias, who had stood in front of us for hundreds of years, were obedient under their iron hooves, and the Kushan was probably also conquered by the powerful forces of the other party, and it was obviously not wise to take the initiative to attack, and Your Majesty also knew this, but since I wanted to take the heads of the Cylius to lay bricks and stones for the great Roman emperor, it was also the glory of my Gaieus. ”

Born on the hottest continent in the world, the Roman general who followed Severus to become the emperor of a country was already a highly decorated general, and after all, he adopted a conservative approach to dealing with the Eastern Cyrians who had never faced him. The moment he clenched his fist against the wall tiles, he turned abruptly, his scarlet cloak spilled off, and strode down the wall.

The horn of the assembly sounded.

Hundreds of guards soldiers and centurions quickly gathered with swords. Gaieus held the hilt of his sword and swept his gaze over them solemnly: "Tell all brave warriors that the enemies of Rome are coming—"

With a bang, Sen Han's short sword was unsheathed, raised to the sky in his hand, and many soldiers around him were gathering, under the eagle flag, large and small phalanxes converged into a river, and the legion of more than 10,000 people quickly formed, that is, the fist smashed on the breastplate, making a loud sound.

“…… The Cylius from the east, who had conquered the waning city of Patia, and now they looked ugly and ferocious at the great Rome, the great Majesty Severus, and the messengers sent by the winter were slain by these men, which means that the footsteps of war have rushed towards us, brave warriors, are you afraid of the enemy? ”

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Countless roars resounded through the sky, countless fists smashed on the breastplate, Gaieus clenched his sword with a loud bang, and struck on the shield, "Brave warriors, for the merits of His Majesty Severus, for the glory of Rome, let them see the ferocity of the Roman warriors in front of this city."

"....... let the iron hooves of the Celeus stop here!!"

Under the clouds, the Greek cavalry from Dawan had passed through the territory of Kushan, running towards the capital of Parthia, and in the southeast, the army of Kushan passed through the province of Aracosia of the Parthian Empire one after another, and did not stop for a moment, among the surging army, there were even terrifying figures, heavy limbs like huge pillars, and the earth was trembling.

It was the war elephant of the Kushans, fifty of them.

On the back of the huge elephant smeared with paint, the shield frame, and the saddle are all available, and the Guishan general with several circles of turbans sitting firmly on it, looking greedily at the white jade Buddha statue in his hand, and then he wiped it carefully with a sigh, put it back in the bag on the side of the saddle, and looked forward in the undulating figure.

"Tell the front team to speed up faster, and this battle will show the military might of Guishuang again......" he ordered majestically.

Looking at the herald cavalry in the distance, after a while, Bi Basket couldn't help but turn out the white jade Buddha statue in the bag again, playing with it in his hand, and touching every inch with his fingers lovingly......

***********

It was already afternoon, and the speckled whites were beginning to melt. The conversation in the big tent stopped, Gongsun Zhi opened the tent curtain and looked at the generals of the various armies in the distance, the sun drooping in the west turned a charming red, and on the way out of the camp, Xun Chen followed behind: "What the governor said today is a little too cautious, and the people of Daqin may not all be good at fighting." ”

"I don't know the specifics, but I'm not too careful, if you blitz Parthia, the other party will definitely take precautions, and if you use it again, you will definitely suffer, and the gains outweigh the losses." Gongsun Zhi walked along the fence for a while, said softly, and then spoke: "...... However, I brought Guishan, Anxi, and Dawan in to let them replace the part that my western expeditionary army might lose in battle. ”

"It turns out that the governor has another purpose, and yes, under the great profit, no one is not interested in wealth."

The two of them talked for a while, and the bonfires and lanterns were lit in the trading bazaar outside the camp, and there were even many people dancing around the pillar of fire, and a man named Wuti came over and whispered a few words in Li Ke's ear, he sent the soldiers away, and turned to Gongsun Zhi's side: "Chief, that Tiamife of the Jacket Sect is outside the barracks, and wants to see him, do you want to drive him away?" ”

Gongsun Zhi looked in the direction of the Yuanmen in the distance: "No, I'm going to go back anyway, so let's meet him." ”

"Since the governor is busy with important matters, Chen will retire first."

Seeing the scribe leave, Gongsun Zhi turned over and rode through the bazaar here, outside the gate, a luxurious, half-open roof carriage parked there, a robe, an old man with a jacket and a coat was waiting on it, seeing Gongsun Zhi riding out of the horse, he hurriedly put down the cup in his hand, got off the carriage, went over to salute, and then talked straight to the point.

"...... and the prosperity of the two countries, both of which are designated as state religions, have a unique charm, which can make people of faith, their souls be sublimated, and they will have an enterprising heart when they look at everything and everything. The army under your command is very brave and good at fighting, I believe that the Romans will be difficult to resist, and then the Jacket will preach with all its might, hoping that Your Excellency will be busy and will not hesitate to give a little help, as a gratitude, the Jacket Sect is willing to send martyrs to participate in the war, and even have food and women to provide it, so that the war will go more smoothly. ”

The carriage was not spacious, and Utti stood below with sweat stains on his face, and Gongsun Zhi looked at the bishop who was talking eloquently opposite, reached out and poured a glass of wine, and only said: "War does not need to be mixed with religion." ”

Tiamifi, who was still talking, was immediately interrupted, his expression was stunned, and he seemed to have thought that the other party might refuse directly, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, with the help of the Monks, Rome will be subjugated to your feet, and in return it is only to support the Monks to gain a foothold in Rome." ”

"Wars between nations, if they escalate to religious wars, are not what I want to see." Gongsun Zhi shook his head and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp: "However, I have agreed before that you can spread religion, whether you can fight for greater interests or not, it is your own business, go back and prepare for the spread." ”

In the red sunset, the old man's face flushed slightly, his eyes looked at the Celeus people opposite him with some surprise, and nodded: "Since Your Excellency the Commander has decided, then I will leave." ”

Gongsun Zhi snorted at the heading carriage, turned his head and instructed Li Ke: "Go and inform the three departments of the grassland, march westward, and remove all obstacles for the three armies." ”

"Yes!"

March is just around the corner.
