Just as the eyes of the Romans were focused on Iberian land, a fleet of ships arrived at the port of New Carthage, which was now the headquarters of the rebels of the Senate, and the entire port city had been turned into a large barracks, and there was an atmosphere of restless excitement, perhaps they saw hope for the restoration of the Senate system.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I didn't expect you to come in person!" An old man with a scepter greeted Alayang and his party with a smile.

This old man is the current Grand Elder of the Senate, John Leck, and there are four elders behind him, although John Leke is the Grand Elder, but in fact, he has the same right to speak in the Senate as the other four elders, the only difference is that every Senate meeting is convened by him as the Grand Elder.

"Your Excellency the Great Elder!" Alayang made a flat salute.

The two walked into the hall hand in hand, and their subordinates talked in a low voice, and the atmosphere seemed very warm.

In fact, a few years ago, the power of the English line and the Senate were mortal enemies.

"Your Excellency, I have heard that your England has been doing very well lately?" John Leke asked with a smile.

Alayang smiled: "It's okay! ”

John Leke said with a sincere face: "On behalf of all of you, I thank His Excellency the Governor for his help!" He stood up and solemnly saluted Alayang.

Alayang stood up and returned the salute, "Your Excellency the Great Elder doesn't have to be polite! We have the same enemy! ”

The two of them smiled. Re-seated.

Alayang said, "Your Excellency the Great Elder, I have brought you fifty catapults and fire oil this time!" ”

The crowd was overjoyed.

"And I've brought 10,000 warriors!"

"Your Excellency the Elder, as far as I know, the two legions of Rome are about to arrive, what are you going to do?" Alayan asked.

John Leke said: "Of course, it is to capture Newman before the other party arrives!" ”

Newman is an important town in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and it is also the city that the Governor of Sipater is currently focusing on defense! The strategic location was very important as the gateway of the Iberian Peninsula to Eurasia, and if the Senate rebels captured it before the arrival of Roman reinforcements, the whole strategic situation would become extremely favorable to them and extremely unfavorable to the Romans.

Alayan nodded.

After the meeting adjourned, John Leke asked Alayan to stay alone.

"Your Excellency the Great Elder, I wonder what you want to say to me?" Alayang knew that the other party must have something to say.

John Leke took out a letter of handbook and handed it to Alayang.

Alayang took it and said in surprise: "Is it the Wei people's flying pigeon handbook?" ”

John Leke nodded.

Alayang looked at it carefully and thought: "Although the Wei people's suggestion is risky, it is not impossible to give it a try!" If successful, your Senate should be able to gain a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula! ”

"Do you think it's possible?" John Leke asked.

Alayang nodded and glanced at John Lek, "It depends on whether His Excellency the Great Elder has the guts!" If it fails, your Senate won't have to fight the idea of the Iberian Peninsula! ”

John Leke hesitated for a while, and said categorically: "We'll block it!" ”

Alayan stood up and said, "That's good! I get my fleet ready! ”

John Leke nodded, "I'll gather all the armies at once!" ”

A few days later, reinforcements from two Roman legions finally arrived a few dozen miles north of Newmancia.

At this time, Newmancia was still in the hands of the Roman army, and the situation on the battlefield seemed to be tilting in favor of the Romans.

Another day later, 100,000 Roman reinforcements entered the Black Forest, which was actually a forest area, called the Black Forest because of the presence of many trees that had dried up due to thunder and fire.

The Roman army was very cautious, and all the scouts had been spilled.

Suddenly, an alarm came from the left front. The Roman general who led the army frowned, but he was not worried, he thought that his 100,000 army was enough to deal with all the problems.

The Roman general ordered the 19th Legion, which was the vanguard, to prepare for battle, and ordered the 20th Legion behind to halt its advance.

However, what happened next turned out to be much more than he expected.

A 'fire dragon' suddenly jumped up in front of the left, and then the front right and side back also scurried up at the same time, and in an instant, the 'fire dragon' swept away, and the waves of fire rolled out, which was extremely amazing.

The Roman general realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately ordered the army to retreat.

The flames swept through the sky and roared like a demon's grin.

The Romans fled frantically, scrambling to be the first, many trampled down by their companions, some of whom were licked by tongues of fire and turned into a creepy humanoid torch.

Tens of thousands of Roman soldiers managed to escape before the encirclement of the flames was completely closed, and when they looked back, they saw their comrades who had not escaped wailing and struggling in the raging flames.

No one spoke, and the expressions on their faces were both sad and dazed.

Suddenly, the scout's alarm sounded again, this time much more rapidly than before.

Just as the Roman army was preparing to meet it, countless enemies were surging from all directions.

A fierce scuffle ensued.

The Roman army, which had not yet calmed down, struggled to resist for a moment, and then collapsed on all fronts.

When the sun set, the Black Forest was strewn with corpses, the flames not far away still did not stop, the air was filled with a choking smell, and the battle flags of the Roman Empire were reduced to ashes in the flames.

When the bad news came, the Roman government and the opposition were shocked.

Caracalla immediately convened urgent consultations among his ministers, and finally decided to send 200,000 troops from the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd Legions, as well as the 2nd Guards Legion, which were not on the eastern front, to rush to Iberia, and at the same time ordered a part of the fleet stationed at the mouth of the Red Sea to rush to Iberia, and appointed the general Yusuf as the commander in charge of quelling the rebellion.

Eyes turned to Chang'an.

Cao Cao looked at the handbook in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that their luck is not bad!" ”

Xun Yu nodded, and said with some concern: "The Romans will definitely not just forget it!" I wonder if they will be able to withstand the counterattack of the Romans!? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "The main forces of the Romans are all dragged by us, and the rest is up to them!" If they want to rise again, they must endure such a test! By the way, the technician we sent them should be almost there by now, right? ”

Xun Yu replied: "It should be time according to the time!" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "With this group of technicians, the trouble for the Romans will be even greater!" ”

Cao Cao came out of the Qianqing Palace, returned to the harem, and when he came to Cai Yan's bedroom, he suddenly thought of that naughty baby, 'I don't know how she is now?' ’。

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but walk towards the Self-Discipline Hall.

Outside the self-discipline hall, the two palace maids who guarded the door hurriedly saluted.

Cao Cao glanced at the self-discipline hall and asked, "Is Cao Le okay?" ”

A palace maid replied: "Her Royal Highness the princess is very good! There was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Cao Cao didn't notice the palace maid's expression, raised his feet and walked in, and came to a small room on the second floor.

Cao Cao gently pushed open the door, only to see a small figure curled up on the small bed by the window, with its back to the door, as if it was very helpless and pitiful.

Cao Cao was so distressed that he walked quickly to the edge of the bed, saw that Cao Le was asleep, couldn't bear to wake her up, and gently sat down on the stool next to the bed.

Cao Cao glanced at his daughter, this little naughty looked sad, pitiful, and people couldn't help but feel pity.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh, glanced at the small desk next to the bed, and saw some things written by Cao Le on it.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel curious, so he picked up one casually and read it, this is an article in the Book of Filial Piety, Cao Cao smiled slightly.

After a long time, Cao Le rubbed his confused eyes and sat up, seeing his father in front of him, Cao Le blinked his cute big eyes in surprise, and jumped into Cao Cao's arms, hanging like a koala, "Father, people miss you so much!" ”

Cao Cao rubbed Cao Le's head, "Father also misses Cao Le!" ”

"Father, people know that they are wrong!" Cao Le said pitifully.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Le like this, he couldn't help but feel very distressed, and pretended to be upright and said, "Little girl, will you dare in the future?" ”

"People don't dare!"

Cao Cao sighed, "You little girl is the most reassuring of all my brothers and sisters!" ”

Cao Le pouted, looking aggrieved.

"What? Father said wrong? Cao Cao asked pretending to be annoyed.

Cao Le hurriedly shook his head, "People don't want to do this!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't pretend anymore, sighed, and pinched Cao Le's nose dotingly, "You little girl!" ”

"There are two days left to expire, and you yourself said that you want to stay here any longer?"

Cao Le's eyes lit up, he frowned, and said with a firm face: "No!" I'm going to keep staying! People are sisters, and they can't let their younger brothers and sisters laugh! "Looks like a little adult.

Cao Cao smiled, "Little girl, I didn't expect you to be so sensible!" ”

Cao Le raised his chin, "People are already very sensible!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Has your mother been here?" ”

Cao Le nodded, shook his head casually, and looked at Cao Cao cautiously, looking worried.

Cao Cao smiled, and did not delve into this matter.

Glancing around, he found that there were two food boxes on the small round table not far away, of course Cao Cao knew that they were secretly sent by Yan'er, but Cao Cao didn't say anything.

Cao Cao talked to Cao Le for a while, and left in Cao Le's reluctant eyes.

"Your Majesty, is Cao Le okay?" Cui Yingying asked tightly.

Cao Le, the little girl, is the most popular in the harem, although she is very naughty, but all the concubines like this kind-hearted and straightforward little girl very much, not only the concubine, but even the palace maid guards also like her very much, because Cao Le, this little girl, is very good to the people around her, and there is no princess shelf.
