Chapter 1174: Interlaced Lips and Teeth (2)
Thank you for a monthly pass!
"Thank you, Queen!" Yusuf saluted U Suf was arrogant and cruel, and the reason why he was so respectful to Alina was mainly because of Emperor Caracalla's advice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Yusuf exited the main hall, Alina said to an armored general standing on the left, "Oh General Lun! You immediately order the three armies to be on alert! ”
"Yes!" Oh Lun Yingnuo said.
Oh Lun is the general of the Bosporu Kingdom, originally the captain of the guard around Alina, loyal to Alina, and very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Jones and others repeatedly persuaded Alina to marry Karensa.
Alina said to Prime Minister Jones: "The Prime Minister is responsible for raising the wrong grain and grass for the Imperial Army!" ”
Oh Lun glanced at Jones and sneered.
"Yes!" Jones promised.
After the discussion was dismissed, Jones and Oh Lun walked out of the palace together, and Oh Lun asked sarcastically, "Why doesn't Your Majesty persuade Her Majesty to marry Karen now?" ”
Jones said with an ugly face: "If Karen Sa does not rebel, this marriage will only be good for our Doctor Bosporu Kingdom!" ”
Oh Lun sneered: "I don't know if it's for my own benefit!" I wonder if you've received a gift from Karen Sa! ”
"You!!" Jones looked furious.
Oh Lun smiled coldly and turned to leave.
Jones calmed down his agitated emotions for a moment, snorted coldly at Oh Lun's back, and brushed his sleeves away.
A carrier pigeon landed in the fortress of Green Ridge, and the herald immediately presented a copy of the herald to Zhao Yun, who was the commander-in-chief.
At this time, Zhao Yun was discussing with Xiahou Yuan.
Zhao Yun took the book, read it, frowned, and said to Xiahou Yuan: "Karen Sa captured the Tashat, but the 200,000 troops under his command were restrained by the 70,000 Roman regular army!" ”
Xiahou Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at the sand table in front of him and thought, "In this way, wouldn't the entire Assyria only have 50,000 horses to defend?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded, "That's true!" Not to mention the 350,000 regular troops of Assyria who resisted Rome, even the local garrisons of the twelve provinces in the east were enough! ”
"What then? Could it be that he watched Assyria being swallowed up by Rome!? Xiahou Yuan looked unwilling.
It was as if Assyria were an independent nation.
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Miaocai, the entire Assyrian region is still considered Roman territory!" ”
Xiahou Yuan laughed, "Bullshit! That's it, where is it still Roman territory! Whoever has a hard fist is qualified to occupy it! Besides, wasn't this area also the one they plundered back then? And rightfully so, we snatched it up! ”
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Miaocai, Your Majesty doesn't want to occupy this territory!" At least not yet! ”
Xiahou Yuan frowned, and said a little depressedly: "Why do you say that Your Majesty is such a mother-in-law!?" ”
Zhao Yun said secretly: "Now I'm afraid that only you dare to say that about Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Yun smiled: "Your Majesty has considered many more issues than you and me!" Your Majesty's decision is naturally justified! ”
Xiahou Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "I'm too lazy to think about these nerve-wracking things!" We will act according to Your Majesty's strategy! ”
Zhao Yun smiled and nodded.
"Zilong, what do you think we should do?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
Zhao Yun said: "First of all, you should inform Your Majesty of this situation!" ”
Xiahou Yuan nodded, "But this time it will take several days, and the situation in Assyria may change even more seriously!" ”
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Your Majesty's strategy is to support Karen Saïd to fight against Rome, and we should take the initiative when necessary!" Let Gongming lead the cavalry into Assyria secretly, and at the same time let Li Jian inform Karen Sa! ”
Xiahou Yuan nodded, "Let's do it!" I said Zilong, when will you send me a task? ”
A look of eagerness to try.
Zhao Yun laughed and frowned, "This war may last for a long time, and the scale is very likely to exceed our and Your Majesty's imagination!" ”
"It's been five days, do you have any ideas?" Karen Sa asked the generals, and Karen Sa was like an ant on a hot pot at this time.
The generals shook their heads, and one of the generals said helplessly: "Lord Governor, the combat effectiveness of our army is not as good as that of the other party, if you leave the fortified city, I am afraid that you will be defeated by the other party!" ”
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know this? What I want now is strategy! We can't stay long, or once the Imperial army arrives, it's all over! ”
The congregation fell silent. Can't blame them either! In the current situation, there really is no good strategy! Unless there is foreign help!
At that moment, a herald hurried into the lobby of the office.
"Lord Governor, the flying pigeon from Lord Li Jian!" The words fell, and he handed over a handbook.
Karen Sa's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the handbook, read it quickly, and said, "This is the handbook sent by Zhao Yun, the general of the Great Wei Empire's expedition to the west, through me to Li Jian's carrier pigeon!" There was a hint of excitement in his tone.
"Your Excellency the Governor, what did General Zhengxi say in his letter?" One of the generals asked rather unreceivingly.
Karen Sa smiled, "The Great General of Zhengxi has sent iron cavalry to assist us!" The purpose of this message is to inform us so that we don't get misunderstood! ”
The generals became excited, and one of the generals said: "The Wei State Iron Cavalry swept thousands of miles of the Jin Kingdom back then!" Be invincible! They're here, so we can breathe a sigh of relief!
Another general frowned and said, "Is this action of the Wei army to aid us, or is it for something else?" ”
The crowd could understand what he meant, and they couldn't help but worry.
Karen thought to himself, "Don't worry about that! According to the previous practice of the Great Wei Emperor, the most he wanted to do was to turn the entire Assyrian region into a protectorate of his Great Wei Empire and a barrier to the west! ”
Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but let go of the doubts in their hearts.
"Your Excellency the Governor, although the Wei army's iron cavalry is extremely powerful, the number of people is limited after all, only 50,000! They can't resist the empire's 350,000 main army?! One of the generals said worriedly.
Karen said: "We can't completely rely on the Great Wei Empire!" Otherwise, once Caracalla's army retreats, will we still be in a position? ”
The generals nodded approvingly.
Karen pondered, "The main force that resists Caracalla's army is still us!" If we can't resist the first wave of Caracalla's army, the Great Wei Empire will have no time to mobilize troops and horses even if they want to rescue us! ”
frowned, "What gives me a headache now is the seventy thousand Roman troops in front of me!" I didn't expect them to come so quickly that we couldn't pull the main force back! ”
Karen Sa was silent for a moment, then hurried to the map hanging on the side of the lobby. The generals hurriedly followed.
Karen Sa looked at the map and thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Since they want to intercept us from returning south, then I will give them a chance!" ”
The generals looked at Karen Sa, in confusion.
During the day of the next day, Roman scouts cruising the high hills northeast of Artasat noticed that the troops in the city of Artasart were moving frequently, while Roman scouts cruising around Artasat found that from time to time there were fast horse scouts galloping out of the city.
Soon after, the Roman general Butters, who had camped in the hills five miles north of Tsart, received a report of this. (To be continued.) )
