Thank you for the old bird, which is my son's tip!

Thank you Jiudeng for a monthly pass rewarded by your son!

Thank you for a monthly pass rewarded by the handsome want/disfigured son!

Arthur replied, "It's going on step by step!" All aspects went well! My Lord, I think that in addition to building up the naval army, we should also build defensive catapult batteries at several points to prevent the Romans from landing operations! ”

Alayang nodded, "I'm thinking about this too!" ”

Got up and walked to the map, pointed to a few places with red circles, and said, "I decided to build catapult batteries in these places, what do you think?" ”

Several generals looked at it for a moment and nodded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Alayang said: "Since you all have no opinions, then it's decided!" In addition, I decided to expand the army to 200,000 people! ”

Quaid's eyes lit up.

Arthur was taken aback, "Governor, I'm afraid we won't be able to support our finances in this way!" ”

Alayang waved his hand, "I've thought about it!" I also talked about this matter with the envoys of Wei, and they agreed to exchange gold and silver for our corals and pearls! And the price is also fair! ”

Incidentally, England's main incomes were fishing, and the sale of corals and pearls, although the latter had ceased to exist when relations with Rome had broken completely.

When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Arthur said: "If that's the case, then we can barely support military spending!" It's just that how did the Wei people transport pearls and corals back? ”

Alayang said: "This is their problem! Since they agreed to my proposal, then it means that they have a solution! We don't have to worry about it! Now what we have to do is to start the production of corals and pearls again! ”

The crowd nodded.

"Wolf, you're in charge of this! If there is any problem, you can communicate with the envoy of Wei on your own! If you can't solve it, come back to me! ”

"Yes!" Wolf replied. This Wolf was the official under Alayan who was in charge of managing the political participation.

Alayan asked Arthur, "Is there any movement on the Scots at the moment?" ”

Arthur replied: "Also arming for war, there are traces of the Romans in it!" ”

Alayang sneered, "That's for sure! Looks like we're going to have to hurry up! ”

His gaze turned back to Cao Cao's side.

Several horses carried their owners to gallop on the grassland under the snow-capped mountains, and the snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and forests formed a wonderful picture, which was picturesque.

Several people galloped to a halt under a large pine tree.

Frightened, he turned the horse's head, walked back, and said triumphantly: "How is it?" You still want to compete with me! ”

Dian Wei said unconvinced: "If it weren't for this horse, it would definitely be me who won the man!" ”

Cao Cao, who was in the rear, looked at the panting war horse under Dian Wei's crotch with sympathy, there was no way, Dian Wei was too heavy, even if it was a sweaty horse, there was no way to take Dian Wei to run all the time.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over.

"Your Majesty, General Cao Hong's flying pigeon biography!"

Cao Cao took the legend and read it again, "Senate?!" Hehe, interesting! ”

Frightened, he glanced at the handbook in Cao Cao's hand, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is this Senate the same group of princes who were destroyed by Caracalla?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "So to speak! But it's not quite appropriate to call them princes! Their situation is not the same as ours! ”

"Oh!" Frightened, he nodded as if he didn't understand.

Two days later, a team of horses entered the fortress of Khorezm.

"Senate Emissary Sonny meets His Majesty the Emperor!" The visitor saluted and behaved very respectfully.

He was dressed in the robes peculiar to the Romans, and he looked like he was in his forties, and he appeared very loyal.

In diplomatic situations, this kind of person is either stupid or the most difficult to deal with, and the so-called wisdom and foolishness are the truth.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "The envoy doesn't have to be polite!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sonny saluted again and stood up.

Cao Cao glanced at Sonny and said straight to the point: "Let's not go around the bend, let's explain the intention!" ”

"I'm here to discuss an alliance with the Great Wei Empire!"

Cao Cao smiled, "Alliance? If I am not mistaken, your Senate is now worse in Rome than some smugglers! ”

Sonny said, "Your Majesty's words are not right! Although the Senate was hit hard by Caracalla, it still has a fairly basic foundation in society, and there is also a force that should not be taken lightly! If the timing is right, we could still launch an operation that will shock Caracalla! ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

Sonny understood that their Senate was here to beg for help at this time, and there was no room for bargaining, so he simply confessed it.

"Your Majesty, our Senate still has supporters in all provinces! And there are still a lot of hidden powers hidden in several hidden mountains! The total strength of this force is more than 70,000 people, and most of them are troops who retreated into the mountains after the defeat that year! There are still a lot of reserves in terms of money and food! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Your strength is still weaker than England!" ”

Sonny nodded, "That's true!" But we also have our advantages! We still have deep roots within the Empire! ”

Cao Cao said: "I suggest that you should form an alliance with the English!" ”

Sonny said, "We've done it!" We would like to have the support of the Great Wei Empire more than the English! If the Great Wei Empire can help us establish a regime against Caracalla, then our Senate is the staunchest ally of the Great Wei Empire! ”

Cao Cao asked, "Who is your current leader?" ”

"John Leck, he was originally the most prestigious elder in the Senate! And four more elders! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Can John Leke call the shots in an emergency?" ”

Sonny was stunned, "This"

Cao Cao smiled: "It seems that your biggest problem is here!" ”

Sonny frowned and nodded.

He felt that Cao Cao's statement was very reasonable, and that many of the failures in the war and the mistakes in policy were ultimately caused by the inherent defects of the Senate.

Sonny asked sincerely, "I wonder if Your Majesty has any suggestions?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "We Wei people have an old saying, 'one mountain does not allow two tigers'!" ”

Sunny immediately understood what Cao Cao meant, and nodded slightly.

Cao Cao said: "I suggest that you launch it in an area far away from the center of Rome, so that the possibility of success is greater!" The Iberian Peninsula, for example, is a great choice! ”

Sunny looked thoughtful and asked with a look of hope, "I don't know about Your Majesty's alliance with us?" ”

Cao Cao said: "This is like doing business, it must be beneficial to both parties!" ”

Sonny nodded, "Of course!" ”

Cao Cao said: "Judging from the current situation, we can't get any benefits!" ”

Sonny asked urgently, "What does Your Majesty mean!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, "I can promise you that after you have gained a stronger foothold, we will establish an alliance between the two sides!" In this process, I will ask the English to give you some support! But you have to remember that you can only rely on yourself in everything, and there is only a limit to external help! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sonny thanked him sincerely.

Cao Cao smiled: "You don't need Xie Zhen!" I didn't give you anything! ”

"Nope! Your Majesty's words are the most sincere words I have ever heard! Sonny said with a straight face.

Cao Cao smiled, stood up, and walked to the hall, "It's not easy for you to come once, why don't you stay here for a few days!" ”

Sunny thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the invitation!" Your Majesty, I have a reluctant request! ”

Cao Cao nodded.

Sonny pleaded, "Your Majesty, I wonder if I can take a look at your army?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Sunny was overjoyed and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao led Sonny to a military camp in the fortress.

At this time, the officers and men in the barracks were conducting routine exercises, and nearly 10,000 soldiers were practicing military boxing on the school field with their shirtless bodies in a neat phalanx, roaring again and again, and the dust was flying, and the momentum was quite amazing.

Sonny's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Your Majesty, is this the elite of Great Wei?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and glanced at Cao Ren on the side.

Cao Ren explained to Sonny, "This is the Seventh Legion of the Great Wei Empire!" ”

Sunny was stunned for a moment, pointed to the magnificent army in front of him and stammered, "This, this is just the Seventh Legion?!" ”

Cao Ren said with a smile: "If it is the first army drill, it is estimated that the timid people will not be able to stand steadily!" ”

Sonny sighed with emotion: "I finally understand now why the two great powers of the Roman Empire and the Jin Kingdom can't take advantage of it!" ”

The generals present smiled proudly.

Return to the office.

Sonny pleaded, "Your Majesty, I hope you can send some instructors to us!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Of course there is no problem with this!" ”

Sonny was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty, I just heard this general say that the First Legion, I want Your Majesty to send the warriors of the First Legion, I don't know if it's okay?" Sonny asked cautiously.

Cao Cao laughed, "No problem! ”

Sonny couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked him.

Over the next few days, Cao Cao also gave Sonny a tour of the Wei Army's firearms unit, the thunderous swarm that scared people more than they killed. And let him watch the shooting performance of the thunder swarm.

He was impressed by the terrifying, or terrifying, power of firearms.

He then asked Cao Cao to send a technician.

Cao Cao agreed, but only on the condition that they first establish their own base.

The long procession marched eastward on the official road, and the big banner in the middle was the symbol of the emperor of the Great Wei Empire, which turned out to be the team of Cao Cao's class.

The Imperial Forest Army was around Cao Cao's chariot, the Twelfth Army was in the rear, and the Fifth Army was in front of the road, nearly 200,000 troops were mighty, looking like a long dragon from a distance, and the rumbling footsteps were like thunder.

The Eleventh Legion did not accompany the division, they would remain in the fortress of the Green Ridge in the Western Regions and serve as a reserve for the entire West together with the Xiongnu Legion.

The team stopped at Qiuci for a while, and Cao Cao specially explained some things to Sima Yi. The next day, the team continued eastward.

On the same day, Sima Yi called a group of officials in charge of local construction to give an order.

Subsequently, the ordnance factories in various parts of the Western Regions began to expand their buildings, and the shipyards in the Persian Gulf region also began to make preparations for expansion.

There are all indications that Cao Cao intended to permanently and firmly control Central and Western Asia. (To be continued.) )
