Momia, who still had spring love between her eyebrows and eyes, leaned on the wall of the car with one hand on her forehead, and couldn't help but want to laugh when she thought of Sun Shao's words, but she didn't dare to laugh too much, even the slightest movement made her sour body unbearable. She gently covered the placket of her clothes, covering her body. Although the maid who sat opposite Philip with her arms was trustworthy, she didn't want her to see the marks on her chest that Sun Shao had bitten.
This is Sun Shao's new clothes just given, her original clothes were torn by the beast-like Sun Shao, and she can't wear them anymore.
The high-quality ice silk has a cool feeling in the hand, which brings a very refreshing feeling in this sultry summer. Momia sniffed the faint fragrance of the silk garment, indulging in the confusion caused by the madness of not long ago. At the thought of this, Momia's body couldn't help but heat up a little again, and she wrapped herself in a silk coat to sober herself up, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to ensure that she would not be seen when she returned to the palace.
"This tireless beast!" Momia muttered in a low voice, and glanced at the maid again, and the maid held Philip woke up, yawned with his mouth open, and turned his eyes a little confused, and when he saw Momia, he grinned, stretched out his lotus-like arm to Momia, and "babbled" in his mouth. Momia hesitated, but still stood up, hugged Philip over, pointed his finger at Philip's high nose, and said silently: "Little things, it's all for you that you are bullied like this." β
Philip grinned, kicked his legs hard, and staggered to his feet, hugging Momia's neck. Momia was crushed by him, and couldn't help but moan in a low voice, pursed her lips and kissed Philip's face, complaining, "Are you here to bully me too?" β
Taking the opportunity of getting close to Philip, Momia gradually sobered up, and when she returned to the palace, she had regained her usual calmness, and in the face of the expectant Quintus, she lightly told Sun Shao that Sun Shao was willing to let Sun Feng and Philip become brothers. She said it easily, but Quintus was so ecstatic that she could hardly believe her ears, and she couldn't help but hug Momia and exclaim, "Oh my God, Momia, how did you do that?" You know what, it's so important to me. Goldian's old dog would have been furious when he heard the news. β
Momia frowned, gently pushed Quintus away, and said with a light smile: "My Imperial Majesty, you can't get carried away, otherwise you will be looked down upon." β
"Yes, yes." Quintus was so happy that whatever Momia said now sounded to him as good as a fairy sound. He turned around a few times excitedly, only to find that Momia frowned slightly, and her walking was a little unnatural, and he hurriedly said with concern: "Momia, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it too tired? β
"Well, sort of." Momia nodded: "I've been teaching Emily and Diana to study for the past few days, and I'm really tired, but the big thing is finally decided, and even if it's a little tired, it's worth it." Your Majesty the Emperor, if there is nothing else, I would like to rest first. β
Quintus nodded gratefully: "You can pay attention to your body, I can't do without you more and more now." Rest well, I'll go and discuss with the ministers, and tell them the news, so that they can feel at ease. β
Momia smiled and raised her hand to signal the maid to send Quintus out. Quintus hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't send me, you take good care of the queen, don't let her be tired anymore." With that, he went out in a hurry. Momia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slumped weakly on the chair, waved her hand and said, "Prepare some hot water, I want to take a good bath." β
The maid lowered her eyebrows and replied, and went out to make arrangements. Momia sat there alone, a shy smile on her face and a little dazed in her eyes. After a while, she couldn't help but laugh softly: "Jiao? Is that what the Han people call their women? It's blushing. β
The news of Sun Feng and Philip's brotherhood suddenly expanded Quintus's advantage to the point that Gordian could not confront him, and the nobles of the Senate realized this, and they soon fell to Quintus's side, and Gordian, seeing that the situation was not in his favor, handed over the command of the army to Quintus on the grounds that he was too old to cope with the expedition, and asked to return to Rome to recuperate. Quintus reciprocated, and any Gordian was the tribune. Tribune had long been an honorary title, and the real power was pitifully small, and Quintus was obviously suspected of crowding out Gordian by doing so, but in order to make Gordian obey his orders, he also appointed Gordian Jr. as a general, commanding the two most elite legions of the 40,000 army that originally belonged to Gordian.
Gordian had no objections, and after handing over the military affairs, he did not even attend the grand wedding and alliance ceremony, and immediately left Damascus. As soon as he left Damascus, Quintus immediately began to reorganize his army, and he installed the generals who supported him in the army, seized military power, and then began to integrate the 80,000 army, and at the same time began negotiations with Sun Shao. They were already fraternal countries, and the negotiations went well, and as soon as the wedding and alliance ceremony were over, the armies of the two countries set out for Ctesiphon.
The army of 150,000 or 60,000 plus the accompanying merchants and baggage troops, a full 300,000 people, rushed to Ctesiphon, the long line stretched for more than ten miles, it can be described as spectacular, in the memory of the Romans, this is the largest expedition in history, the Roman Emperor Quintus suddenly became the great hero of the people to revive the Roman military might.
Sun Feng was ordered by Sun Shao to take more than 1,000 well-equipped Teutonic knights, one man and two horses, and arrived at Cao Zhang's camp in only two days.
As soon as they heard that Sun Feng was coming, Cao Chang didn't have time to react, and Yang Hu and Du Yu, who had just arrived as traveling scholars, jumped up and rushed out of the big tent, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw Sun Feng, who was striding in stride, surrounded by the Teutonic knights.
"Prince!"
"Uncle, Yuan Kai, why are you?" Sun Feng was also overjoyed, and stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around their shoulders, "How did you get here?" β
"We came out to travel, and we heard that the army was going to fight the Sassanids here, and we didn't want to miss this great battle, so we rushed here to be a scholar by General Chen's side. I didn't expect to see the prince here, prince, you have always been good? Yanghu looked at Sun Feng happily.
"Do you need to ask? Just look at these Teutonic knights and you can see that the prince is not only good, but very good. Du pre-pouted and motioned to Yanghu to look at Nikolai and the others who were wearing fine armor and were fierce and vicious. Yanghu had already heard about Sun Shao's plan to seal thirteen Teutonic warriors as pavilion marquis in one go, and he was happy for Sun Feng in his heart, and now he saw these strong men with his own eyes, and he was speechless: "What did they eat to grow up, and they are so tall?" β
"Meat, of course." Sun Feng laughed, turned to Nikolai and the others and said, "These are my two good friends, you should be closer in the future." β
Nikolai and the others were a little nervous when they saw Yanghu and Du Pre rushing towards Sun Feng, but later they relaxed when they saw them so affectionate, but now after listening to Sun Fengyi, they knew that these two people were the prince's cronies who often mentioned, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, greeting them in stiff Chinese. When Yang Du and the others heard this, they couldn't help but want to laugh, and while they were laughing, they turned around and walked towards the big tent.
"The prince is so majestic." Cao Zhang stood outside the big tent with his hands behind his back, glanced at the thirteen knights, and said enviously: "King Yue is really rich, even these barbarians are so well equipped?" β
After Sun Shaoce named Nicholas thirteen people as knights, he specially asked people to use fine iron to create a set of fine armor for each of them, and more than 1,000 Teutonic knights were also replaced with good equipment, this more than 1,000 people are already a dazzling star group among more than 30,000 barbarians, and they can be recognized at a glance wherever they go, especially the thirteen knights, which are even more high-profile heroes, it can be said that even those tribal leaders may not have the money to buy such equipment, but the Teutons have thirteen, which makes Stiricus have more face, It also made the Teutons determined to be loyal to Sun Feng to the end.
"It's all my father's love, and I deserve it." Sun Feng smiled faintly and walked into the big tent side by side with Cao Zhang. It didn't take long for Cao Zhi and the others to rush over when they heard the news, and when they saw Sun Feng, who was calm, Nikolai and another Teutonic knight standing behind him, they all showed envious looks.
Sun Feng summarized what happened in Damascus, and finally said to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Li Yan: "My father and His Majesty the Roman Emperor Quintus are marching towards Ctesiphon with an army of 150,000 men, and at their speed, it will take about a month to arrive. He told me to come and inform you of the news, and to get ready to march on Ctesiphon. At the same time, he also wants me to convey to you, please rest assured, as long as you take Tai Xifeng, the conditions that I promised you will definitely be fulfilled, but I ask you to temporarily abandon the distinction between Wei and Shu and Yue, and regard yourself only as a Han person, and we are all Han people now. β
Cao Zhang and the others looked at each other and expressed their attitudes one after another, but their expressions couldn't help but be a little perfunctory. Sun Feng had expected it, he glanced at everyone, and then said solemnly: "Everyone, my father has a question that I don't understand, and I want to ask you a question or two. β
"Does King Yue have any other questions for us?" Cao Zhi laughed sarcastically.
Sun Feng smiled slightly: "My father is not a saint who was born to know, of course there will be incomprehensions. General Cao is very smart, and all the sons know it, so he will definitely be able to give an answer. β
"Don't dare." Cao Zhi laughed, both a little humble and a little arrogant. He was originally very talented, he had nothing to do in Guanzhong all these years, and he had enough time to contact a large amount of external information, and his eyes were wide open, and he called himself a thousand miles. Now that he heard that Sun Shao was puzzled, he couldn't help but have some skills.
"My father said that Rome has an army of 80,000 this time, and it is a local battle, and although the total strength of my Han expeditionary force is nearly 100,000, there are more than 30,000 Tianzhu mercenaries and more than 10,000 Bedouins, nearly half, and the remaining Han people are also divided into Wei, Shuyue and Yue Kingdoms, and they are thousands of miles away from the country, why can they lead this war and become the self-evident alliance leader in the alliance of Rome, Kushan and Han."
Cao Zhi opened his mouth and didn't say a word. This is actually not a problem, but Sun Shao wants to remind them of the important surname of unity. If they could be united, they would have been able to continue to dominate the war, and if they had their own minds, they would inevitably be mired in the same internal strife as the Romans, and finally had to rely on the power of outsiders to hand over their interests.
"His Royal Highness King Yue reminded me that I, Li Yan, understood." Li Yan took the lead in saying: "I hereby promise the prince that he will obey the command and not put his personal interests first. β
"The prince can rest assured that we have been working well together." Cao Zhang also nodded in agreement: "General Chen is also here, he can testify." β
Chen Hai nodded hurriedly. Sun Feng laughed: "My father must believe you, otherwise he wouldn't have invited you here, just to keep things safe, that's why he asked me to rap in front of you once." I'm a junior, so I guess you shouldn't be rude to me. β
Everyone laughed. Just kidding, who would dare to call him rude.
Sun Feng and Cao Zhang then met with King Bo of Guishan. He was very worried that his efforts would be in vain and he would become a supporting actor for others, and he would pay sacrifices but not get the corresponding benefits. Sun Feng first expressed his condolences to him, and then conveyed Sun Shao's reiteration of the original agreement, assuring Bo Tiao that he would never let the Guishan people suffer, and hoped that Bo Tiao could lift his spirits and fight hard. Seeing that the prince of Yue Guo personally assured him, Bo Tiao relaxed his heart and happily agreed to go with Sun Feng to besiege the city of Taixifeng, and at the same time promised to order people to return to China to recruit troops again, and put pressure on the Sassanids from another direction.
After these key things were successfully completed, Sun Feng and Cao Zhang discussed the deployment of troops. Sun Shao asked him to rush here in the hope that he could learn the ability to ride with Cao Zhang. Sun Feng has a foundation in the art of war, and in the past two years, he has passed the actual test of the battlefield, and he has made a lot of progress, but Sun Shao or Lu Xun is not good at using horses, and among the generals who participated in the expedition this time, Cao Zhang, who has the best cavalry, is afraid that Xiahou Rong will be slightly inferior. Sun Feng will stay in the area of Tai Xifeng in the future, his main strength is also those barbarians, cavalry will be an indispensable part of his strength, whether he can use the cavalry well, determines whether he can gain a firm foothold in this land.
Cao Zhangyi was in a good mood when he heard that Sun Shao valued him so much, and he said generously: "I am very honored to be able to learn from the prince on horseback." If the prince wishes, he will stay in the army for a while. Before you get to Ctesiphon, you can get closer to the generals in the army, and you will be more sure that you will be able to fight the Sassanids in the future. β
He immediately called several Hu generals in the army, including Adi Gui and A Meigui, who were of mixed Hu and Han descent, as well as Wuhuan Lou Ban, Xianbei Budugen and Xianbei people, and introduced them to Sun Feng one by one, asking them to be closer to Sun Feng. As soon as they saw Sun Feng, Bu Dugen and Gui Ni opened their mouths in surprise, glanced at each other, and shouted in unison: "It was originally him?" β
Cao Zhang was puzzled, and his face sank unhappily: "What are you talking about?" β
"He ......" Bu Dugen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and smiled bitterly: "General Qiyu, the prince is the assassin who captured Kirbineng alive." β
Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Sun Feng again with suspicion: "Have you been to the grassland?" β
Sun Feng smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said lightly: "It's just a handy effort." Is Kirby good at being handsome? β
"What a ghost." Budugen shook his head, crying and laughing, and stretched out his hand to point at the Adi Kid brothers: "You ask them." β
Brother Adi walked forward, looked at Sun Feng for a while, and then bowed down: "Engong, I finally found you." "It was because Kirby could be killed that Bu Dugen and other 30,000 Xianbei people surrendered, so they made a great contribution and became the general of the Han Dynasty. Later, they learned from Budugen that the reason why Budugen surrendered to their brother was because the mysterious assassin asked for it, so they had been looking for this mysterious benefactor, but unfortunately they never found any information, but they did not expect to see it in Sasanya, which was thousands of miles away.
"Hehehe......" Sun Feng helped them up and comforted them. Yanghu, who was standing behind him, suddenly understood, and he said to Adi Gui: "It's not difficult for you to thank the prince, just tell him the tricks of your Huns in riding, the prince needs these." β
"There's nothing to say, what the prince wants to know, we have absolutely no reservations." Brother Adi's chest thumped.
With such an unexpected episode, the relationship between Sun Feng and these Hu generals suddenly became close. Cao Zhang was also very happy, and immediately arranged a banquet for everyone to promote their feelings, and everyone discussed the arrangements for marching into Ctesiphon while drinking. He originally tried to ask Sun Feng to be the main general, but Sun Feng refused. Sun Feng said, although I have rough martial arts, but the ability to command the army is very lacking, my father asked me to come this time to learn from the kings, if the general thinks that I can still use, then appoint me as a general or captain, more than 1,000 Teutonic knights under my command are also merged into the general's men and horses, obey the general's command.
Cao Zhang laughed, he didn't want to give up the command of the army, but he didn't dare to let Sun Feng be his subordinate, since Sun Feng knew him so well, he was relieved, and then proposed that Sun Feng be the supervisor of the army, and if necessary, he could take some people to act alone. Everyone got what they needed, and everyone was happy, so naturally there was no objection.
After the banquet, the Adi Gui brothers were still unsatisfied, and followed Sun Shao to his big tent, set aside a small wine and drank it. The Xiongnu surname is bold, and the amount of alcohol is not small, and Sun Shao has been mixed in the barbarian pile for two years, and the amount of alcohol is also very large. Yanghu and Du Yu soon couldn't stand it, so they had to replace the wine with tea and watch the three of them fight together. At the end of the drink, Brother Adi also drank high, Ah Mei turned his tongue wide, patted Sun Feng's shoulder hard, and said with a smirk: "Prince, I ...... I'm ...... now Just...... Understand, why...... At the time, I ...... My cousin...... It seems to ...... Guessed it...... As if I guessed something, it turned out to ...... Turns out she knew...... Know your ...... Whereabouts. β
Sun Feng glanced at Yanghu with some embarrassment, but Yanghu smiled faintly and looked at it as if he hadn't seen it.
