As soon as the ministers retreated, the intelligence officer Yushchenko rushed into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the biography of the Governor of Sipat!" Yushchenko reported, handing over a handicap.
Caracalla took the handbook, opened it, read it, and then got up and said angrily: "Sipat dares to act without permission!" Immediately send an order to Sipat, stop the action, and return to the camp! ”
"Yes!" Yushchenko answered and withdrew.
Caracalla paced back and forth with a look of chagrin on his face, worried about the situation in the east.
A few days later, Schneider's main army of 350,000 finally reached the front, but the Romans did not attack Karensa's rebels.
"It seems that Caracalla is deeply jealous of the Great Wei Empire!" Karen Sa said with emotion.
"General Xu Huang, I don't know when the follow-up army of the Great Wei Empire will arrive?"
Xu Huang said: "The army is being mobilized, and it will be able to arrive soon!" Don't take it lightly, Governor, the Romans may launch a surprise attack on the line of formation before the army arrives! ”
Karen Sa nodded, "I understand! ”
At this time, the two did not know that a large army was marching through the depths of the vast desert. This army was the governor of Sipat, who had recently left the Roman army, and his 100,000 soldiers!
"Your Excellency the Governor, our army is running out of fresh water! Dry food was also almost lost in the previous sandstorms! We don't have the ability to cross the desert anymore! One of the generals said to Sippat in frustration.
Sippat swallowed hard, looked around, and saw only the vast yellow sand desert.
Sippat placed a map on the sand and crouched down.
After looking at it for a moment, he looked around again, frowned, and said, "There should be an oasis here?" Why is it gone? ”
"Lord Governor, it is not uncommon for the desert to be fickle, and an oasis disappears in an instant, not to mention that the map in the hands of the Governor has a history of more than ten years!" A subordinate said.
Sippat asked, "How long will our fresh water last?" ”
The general replied: "It can last for three days!" Just enough to return to the oasis we passed three days ago, but if we keep going, it's hard to say! ”
Sippat frowned, "What about dry food?" ”
"Dry food is lost a lot! But it's enough! ”
Another general said: "General, with the current situation of our army, it is impossible to pass through this desert at all!" Let's go back the way you came! We've already had six or seven thousand people die in the middle of nowhere! ”
Sippat hesitated. He didn't want to return in vain, he wanted to establish an immortal feat that would amaze the world, but all this in front of him made his dream a flower in the mirror.
While Sipat was hesitating, the herald had reported: "My lord, the order of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
Sipat's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the book and read it quickly, but sighed in disappointment.
"My lord, what did His Majesty the Emperor say?" One of the generals asked eagerly.
Sipat said, "His Majesty the Emperor told us to withdraw!" ”
Upon hearing this, several generals present all breathed a sigh of relief.
The soldiers cheered when they heard the order to retreat, as if the condemned prisoner, who was about to be executed, suddenly heard the news of his acquittal.
Seeing such a sight, Sippat couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Jin Guo Shangjing Imperial Palace.
"Queen, it's time to come, do we really plan to deal with Rome?" Interior Minister Konev hesitated.
Empress Silan nodded without hesitation, "There is no doubt about it!" For now, neither we nor Rome can afford to fall! Appoint the general of the southern expedition as the commander of the southern expedition, immediately go to the Durent Fortress, and at the same time transfer eight regular regiments to the Durent fortress to the command of the general of the southern expedition, and mobilize the whole people in the southern provinces! ”
In this way, the strength of the Jin State on the line from Khorezm Mountain to the northern line of Kangju will reach 15 regular army corps, 750,000 troops, plus the subsequent mobilization of the garrison army and the civilian army, the total strength will definitely exceed 1 million. It seems that the Jin people not only intended to deal with Rome, but also planned to take this opportunity to recapture the provinces of Nanpoli and Yukan, and even invade the Wei army's sphere of influence.
Later that day, Wei's secret envoys arrived in Shangjing.
"What? An emissary of Wei? Queen Silan looked surprised.
After a moment's thought, he commanded, "Bring him to the main hall!" Call all the ministers! ”
"Yes!"
A moment later, Queen Slan entered the main hall through the side door.
At this time, several civil and military ministers of the Jin State were already waiting in the main hall, staring at a man in the center of the hall with a strong hostile face, the man was dressed in a Han robe, and his expression was calm, he should be the envoy of the Great Wei Empire.
"You are the envoy of Wei!" Queen Silan asked coldly.
"Exactly!"
"What are you doing here?" There was a thick hostility in the tone.
The messenger said: "I have come to save the country!" ”
There was an uproar at the scene, and the general of the Praetorian Guard, Dlov, sneered: "I think you want to save yourself!" The combined army of our Jin Empire and the army of the Roman Empire is enough to sweep the entire Western Regions of the Wei Kingdom! ”
The envoy said indifferently: "The general is deceiving himself by saying this! ”
Droff was furious and was about to carry a knife to kill on the spot.
"Dlov!" Queen Slan drank in time to stop the murderous Delov.
Turning his head to the envoy, he said: "My Jin Empire and Wei are as deep as the sea!" I won't kill you! You go back and tell your emperor that the army of our Jin Kingdom will not only recover the provinces of Nanpoli and Yukan, but also wipe out the entire Western Regions of the Wei Kingdom! ”
Queen Silan originally thought that the other party would quickly persuade her, but she didn't want the other party to smile and hug her fist, turn around and walk towards the outside of the main hall, and the ministers were also quite surprised.
Queen Silan hurriedly called the messenger, and the messenger turned around and asked indifferently, "What else does the queen command?" ”
Queen Slan asked, "Don't you have anything to say?" ”
The messenger glanced at the crowd and smiled, "Since you have already decided, why should I bother to speak?" (To be continued.) )
