Most of the senators, who knew nothing but rhetoric, had already fled. Gao Yang did not send troops to blockade the entire city of Rome. Except for the south, the other directions are safe for the time being. Many of those high-ranking patriarchs chose to sneak away with their wealth.

When every empire is about to fall, there is no shortage of people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and die for the country. Of course, it is more of a villain who sees a bad opportunity and takes the initiative to abandon the country. Such people tend to be more numerous.

These smart people of the Senate, those who have no brains, cannot sit in the position of senators. They could all see that the city of Rome was not in good shape. In order to avoid being buried with the city of Rome, many of the senators had quietly fled from the city with a long convoy and fled all the way to the north.

There are also patriarchs who choose to escape by boat. After all, the speed of sea transportation is fast, and they carry a lot of wealth with them, and shipping it can save a lot of trouble. It's just that there is Sun Jian's fleet on the sea.

Sun Jian himself went to Alexandria with the main force of the fleet, preparing to assist Zhang Liao in attacking Cyrenaica's Nigel corps. Those who remained off the coast of the Italian peninsula were the young Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in charge of the blockade. Responsible for assisting them is Gan Ning, who is known as the Jinfan Thief.

Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are young heroes, they are too young to have much experience. It would be much better to have the assistance of Gan Ning, who made a living by robbing on the river when he was young. Almost all of the Romans who fled by sea fell into the hands of Ganning. Only a few lucky guys can get away with it.

Gao Yang's battlefield capture distribution standard set by Gao Yang for the Han Navy Division was five to five. As long as it is the wealth you snatch from the belligerents, no matter how many sailors there are, you can get half of it. This method, similar to that of England, encouraged pirates, which greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the sailors, who sealed off almost the entire Italian coast. Don't even think of a small sampan to run away at will.

"We fought from the east to the west. Almost all the countries that are already known between heaven and earth have been run over, and they have all been subdued by us. The young and handsome Zhou Yu raised his hand and patted the side of the warship, looked at Sun Ce on the side and said, "We are still so young, and now there are no opponents who can fight, what will we do in the future?" Is it possible to use warships to transport goods? ”

"What do you think?" Sun Ce, who is also young and vigorous, is unwilling to bully fishing boats in the future. Having such a large fleet without an opponent is indeed something that young people cannot accept.

"If I'm not mistaken. After Lord Taiwei defeated the capital of the Great Qin people, this war should be over. Zhou Yu confidently spread out the chart, stretched out his finger to a place on the chart, and said loudly, "We can't always be a spectator, right?" I mean, let's go take this place! ”

Sun Ce leaned over and saw that the place where Zhou Yu pointed was the island of Sardinia, which was not far away. An island with salt lakes, grain-producing plains, and lead mines. Because of its proximity to the city of Rome, it has become extremely wealthy after centuries of development by the Romans.

Zhou Yu said softly: "To be able to participate in a battle of this scale, we must always make more meritorious contributions." I've looked into it, and it's very rich here. And the strength of the defenders was very weak. We can take here. ”

"Just for merit?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously, and asked softly, "Then why don't you attack Africa, or Spain, even if it's a coastal city in Gaul." ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "We are acting privately." It's okay to hit a small island, but if you play big, if Lord Taiwei gets angry, you and I can live in it? ”

"Yes." Sun Ce also laughed and said, "It's okay, no matter how small the mosquito is, it has a bit of meat." Occupy an island and make some meritorious deeds. I don't think the Captain will say anything more. ”

"Then go ahead." Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the two young men left Gan Ning to continue to block the sea, and they led the fleet straight to the port of Cagliari. Young people's intentions to make achievements are not bad at all.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce went to attack the island of Sardinia without a military order to earn military merits. Severus, who was in Rome, was outraged by the senators who accused him of defending the city of Rome and fled with a great deal of wealth themselves.

Severus sent troops to block the gates. It was forbidden for anyone to leave the city of Rome. If you want to leave, you can leave.

There is the patriarch who is eager to get out of the sea of suffering, relying on his identity to play tricks, where can Severus, who is already red-eyed, take care of these things at this time? The soldiers were immediately ordered to use their short swords.

In just half a day, there were at least a dozen senators and a larger number of nobles. Rich, knights were killed. Vast wealth was plundered by the red-eyed soldiers. The city of Rome has become even more chaotic.

"What the hell are you doing?!" An enraged Arnubis came to Severus' side. He slapped the table hard and shouted, "Are you crazy?!" Dare to kill the patriarch! ”

"Hmph." Severus, who was looking at the map, snorted coldly, and said with a cold gaze, "What kind of patriarch are they?" The empire has now reached a point where they are adding chaos and fleeing with a lot of wealth. What qualifications does this kind of person have to be the patriarch of the guardian empire! ”

"But you can't kill them." What kind of goods are these patriarchs, and what disgusting things have they done, Arnubis is naturally very clear in his heart. It's just that what he can't accept is that Severus actually directly kills the high-ranking senators.

"What time is it now?" There was a clear unquenchable anger in Severus's voice: "Those alien armies have already taken over more than half of the city of Rome, and they are about to reach the Buryat Square!" At this time, the soldiers of the Legion are fighting the enemy on the front line, and these bastards actually want to escape with the wealth of the Empire! This kind of person who doesn't kill is really sorry for the empire. ”

"Alas~~~" Arnubis let out a long sigh of despair and sat down heavily in his chair.

He has been on the front line for the past few days. Watch as army after army is thrown into the meat grinder of the battlefield and becomes a cold corpse. Watching the brave Romans die tragically under the butcher's knives of foreign armies, he himself was exhausted.

"You know what?" Severus didn't bother to end the conversation, he stepped aside and picked up two glasses of wine, handed one to Arnubis, and continued, "Marcus, the patriarch of the Emili family. He left Rome with forty wagons! It is filled with all kinds of riches. ”

Severus took a sip of wine, then continued with a sharp gaze, "After I ordered him to be killed, I sent soldiers to search his house, and more than 1,500 metal armors and shields were found!" ”

"This bastard!" Hear here. Arnubiston's feet abruptly and shouted angrily.

In order to resist the powerful offensive of the Han army, Severus and Arnubis threw one elite Roman army after another into a bitter war of attrition. When the armor and shields were depleted, the newly recruited army couldn't even get together their armor. After all, in this day and age, steel is even a valuable item that can be used as currency.

The alien armies had a powerful weapon that could fire a continuous stream of crossbow arrows. This kind of thing is an extremely sharp killing weapon against soldiers who are not protected by armor and shields. Severus ordered the Romans to contribute their own weapons to equip the soldiers, but in three days they received less than a thousand sets of armor! Most of them are old and unusable rags.

Unexpectedly, one Emili family hid so many reserves. And they would rather not take it away and hide it than think of using it for those brave warriors who sacrificed their lives to defend the city of Rome. This made Arnubis furious.

"These bastards, they must die." Severus tilted his head and drank the wine from his glass, his eyes shining dangerously. Said coldly.

......

"Sardinia?" Gao Yang, who was also holding a wine glass in his hand, sat on an extremely gorgeous chair, gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and asked in surprise, "Where are they going and what are they doing?" ”

Guo Jia, who was opposite Gao Yang, said with a smile: "Young people want to make more meritorious contributions in the war, so they go to war by themselves." ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took the initiative to attack the island of Sardinia, which is big or small. At worst, it is said that he did not obey Gao Yang's military orders. Because Gao Yang did not give them the order to attack. To put it mildly, it is a small island. How to judge this matter still depends on Gao Yang's attitude.

The young Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not yet fully mature, and they take things for granted. But Sun Jian understands it. After seeing the letter sent to him by Gan Ning, Sun Jian was angry on the spot, "These two bastards! Not long after leaving, the two of them had such a trouble, how could Sun Jian not be angry.

If Gao Yang thinks that the two of them are challenging his authority, it will be all over. Sun Jian, who was anxious in his heart, hurriedly wrote a military newspaper and sent someone to send a clipper to the Chinese army's big tent, and specially instructed the henchman who sent the letter to hand over this military newspaper to Guo Jia, who had a good relationship.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu are both Gao Yang's main advisers. Both of them have the right to deal with this kind of military official document.

With Guo Jia's ingenuity, he could naturally understand what Sun Jian meant, and when Gao Yang asked, he might have brought this matter over by saying a few good words. If he is replaced by the treacherous and cunning Jia Xu, he will definitely be official in this matter, and he will definitely not be contaminated with any cause and effect.

Gao Yang looked at Guo Jia with a smile. It's very clear about what they think. After a moment of deep silence, he smiled and said, "Forget it, they are all young people." Tell Sun Jian to teach well. Don't be so impulsive in doing things. ”

"Whoa." Guo Jia, who was relieved in his heart, hurriedly saluted. He knew that this time it was over. Gao Yang really let it go gently. However, if there is a next time for this kind of thing, it will be a heavier punishment.

"It's time to write a letter to Sun Jian and ask him to discipline the young man well. Don't be so impulsive in doing things," Guo Jia thought to himself. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
