"Your Excellency, your subordinates have discovered a great secret. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Pompey said happily.

"What's the big secret?" Octavian was troubled here.

"That's right!" Pompey said excitedly: "Commander, I caught a fallen enemy soldier, that person confessed, Qin Zi marched into three ways, all the way to our Egyptian province, all the way north into Northern Europe. And Qin Zi entered the mountain and prepared to fight a guerrilla war with us. is to wait for the results of the other two lines of soldiers and horses ....... Pompeo then analyzed.

"Guerrilla warfare means so, so, so, so, and so......." Pompey continued to speak, and specifically pointed out that thanks to being a 'Huaxia expert' and proficient in Chinese, he was able to get secrets from the enemy.

Everyone was shocked, and said in their hearts that such a big thing, the enemy went straight to our important area, and you Pompey could still be happy.

Octavian was anxious.

Pompey came up with an idea and said: "The commander doesn't have to worry, Qin Zijin has not been divided for a long time, our army can pretend not to know about this matter, pass this matter back to His Majesty, and then send troops and horses to ambush, and it will definitely win a complete victory." ”

"Makes sense!" Octavian was overjoyed, he suddenly understood, and said in fear: "No wonder Qin Zijin didn't dare to fight our army head-on, he was afraid of exposing his strength." He hid in the mountains for fear that we would find out that he had divided his forces. ”

The Romans, who were first surprised, were overjoyed, and said that this was a good time, and that they would be able to destroy the enemy with a definite purpose.

After receiving such important information, everyone's minds broadened, and Tiberius immediately said: "Commander, since the enemy has only 100,000 men in the mountains, there is nothing to fear. I know about Mount Alats as much as I know about my back garden. This mountain has nine passages into the mountain, and our army can hold these passages first, and then block Qin Zijin in the mountain, and slowly destroy him. ”

Octavian rejoiced, "General Pompey is worthy of being the most proficient person in the East in my Rome, just this intelligence, you have made a great contribution." ”

Pompey hurriedly beat his chest and saluted, but was modest.

As a result, the Roman high-level began to act, and Octavian immediately sent an envoy back to the imperial capital to report the important information discovered by Emperor Conrad. On the other hand, Octavian commanded his army of 500,000 men, so he used Tiberius's strategy to block the mountain pass first, and then enter the mountain to encircle and suppress.

So, led by the generals Pompey, Caesar, and Tiberius, Octavian was the general, and each received a task, and each was responsible for a mountain pass.

"Qin Zijin wants to fight guerrillas with us in the Alagatz Mountains, and his idea is really good. But as long as we use the fastest speed to make a detour and surround Qin Zijin in the Alagats Mountains, we will kill or kill, and it will be all under our control. Octavian excitedly said.

The generals responded violently, and when the birds and beasts dispersed, each with a large army went in a roundabout way.

On the other hand, the Roman Empire, the imperial capital of Rome.

Octavian's envoys, eight hundred miles in an expeditious manner, changed horses without changing people, and entered the city of Rome in only two days and one night.

"What, Qin Zijin divided into two armies, all the way to Egypt, all the way to Northern Europe!" The Roman Emperor Conrad was shocked and said to the senators: "This Thor's hammer is too cunning, Egypt is our granary, and there must be no loss!" ”

"What was his intention in sending people to Northern Europe?" Conrad muttered, unable to see clearly.

The patriarchs expressed their doubts one after another, and Severus thought for himself and said, "Qin Zijin actually knows so much about the situation in our Rome? He sent people to Northern Europe, and he must have contacted the rebels of the Gauls and Germans. ”

Conrad and the senators were shocked.

Severus said in a suppressed voice: "No wonder Qin Zijin dared to bring troops to my Rome, he knows us too well in the West, and we don't know anything about the East." Your Majesty, while deploying for Qin Zijin's military operations, I propose that I send people to the East to have a good understanding of the affairs of the Han Dynasty and the affairs of these princes of the Han Dynasty. ”

"This will help us defeat Qin Zijin, and it will also help us in our subsequent Eastern Crusade."

Emperor Conrad agreed to Severus' proposal, and it was easy to send people to the East, but how to deal with the division of troops in the East?

Severus put forward two constructive suggestions, "First, for Qin Zijin's army entering northern Europe, we can increase the vigilance and strengthen the defense line on the northern border. Capture and fight against rebels of all ethnic groups, mainly against Gauls, Germans, and Thracians. ”

"Second, against Qin Zijin's army into Egypt. His army had come from the Sinai Peninsula with the intention of entering the ...... of our Egyptian province. ”

Severus then retrieved a map and showed Conrad and the senators how to enter Egypt from the Sinai Peninsula.

The Sinai Peninsula is a triangular peninsula connecting Africa and Asia. The Sinai Peninsula is often thought to be Asian, located at the northeastern tip of Egypt and later connected to Israel and the Gaza Strip to the east.

"Isthmus of Suez!"

Severus named an important place name. This isthmus is very famous.

The Isthmus of Suez is a geological fault between the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea, the reason for its formation is unknown, in the middle of the Pliocene, this place was submerged by the Mediterranean Sea, and interconnected with the Indian Ocean, and later by the eastern Nile Delta crustal uplift, so that the isthmus uplifted on the ground, blocking the connection between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

Two hundred years earlier, it had been used by the Egyptian pharaohs to dig a canal, that is, the Suez Canal. After the Romans ruled Egypt, the canals were abandoned. Two hundred years of unmanaged, once again blocking the connection between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, the water is gone, the Isthmus of Suez reappears, and the Suez Canal is gone.

"The terrain of the isthmus is so complex that there is only one route that can bring troops into Egypt on a large scale," Severus noted. It is the northernmost part of the Suez Isthmus, close to the 'Said' region here in the Mediterranean. ”

The area of Said he spoke of was later known as 'Port Said'. Port Said is a port city spanning two continents, and it is also a transit point for the international highway to the Arab East and the Arab West (Maghreb).

Conrad and his elders understood, and Conrad said happily: "It would be great, immediately send a message to the governor of Egypt 'Dris' and let his soldiers and horses go to the 'Said' area to ambush the enemy." ”

As a result, the top brass of the empire breathed a sigh of relief, and now it seems that they have received such important information. Qin Feng's military campaign was no longer a mortal threat, but an opportunity for Rome to achieve an unprecedented victory. The top brass of the empire did not hesitate to praise Severus's wisdom.

In the following time, after the Egyptian governor 'Dris' got the news, his army came to the northernmost part of the Suez Isthmus in the Said, and the army of 100,000 entered an ambush. According to the calculation of time, the enemy of the east will come here in a few days.

Another day later.

In the southernmost part of the Isthmus of Suez, on the edge of the endless swampy terrain, a large army arrived. It was particularly huge, and the soldiers were particularly tired, all of them were in tattered clothes, gray-headed, and beggars who threw weapons and equipment.

"Big brother, we're on the wrong track, right?" Zhang Fei shouted.

Liu Bei looked at the map, and faced the princes and generals such as Wen Ping, Huang Quan, and Zhang Song, his face flashed red. He took the map that Qin Feng gave him, shook his big ears, and said: "What's wrong, it's not wrong, this is the Suez Isthmus, and beyond the isthmus, it is the Egyptian region." Immediately ordered the soldiers to cross here. ”

Facing the endless swamp, Zhang Fei and the others were dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
