"How is this possible? How could Karen Sa defect? One of the ministers shook his head in disbelief.

Caracalla said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to discuss this! It's about coming up with a solution! What do you guys think? ”

Prime Minister Thomas analyzed: "Although Karensar is the governor of Assyria, he cannot mobilize the local regular army, and he only has 100,000 local garrisons at his disposal!" Therefore, the problem is not serious! All it was necessary to order the local regular army to hold on to the key points of Assyria, and Karen would not be able to play any tricks! If we go to quell the chaos with a strong force, we will definitely succeed in one battle! ”

Caracalla nodded, "Just as the prime minister said!" Schneider! ”

A heavily armored general standing in the left column answered the promise.

This General Schneider was originally a subordinate general under Seth, and was recently promoted to general due to his outstanding military achievements, and his position in the army was only below Seth and Yusuf.

"I order you to lead three legions of guards and one of the Spartans to the Assyrian rebellion!"

Schneider was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, our army still has three legions of 150,000 regular troops in Assyria, there is no need to dispatch so many troops, let alone the elite of Sparta!" ”

Caracalla shook his head and said, "It's not that simple! The people of Assyria have always been disobedient to the rule of our Roman Empire, so it is very likely that they will swarm in the wake of the rebellion of Karensar! Therefore, caution must be taken! In addition, Karen Sa had secretly trained 100,000 rebels, and had also purchased 100,000 sets of armor and 200 catapults from Wei merchants! ”

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but talk about it.

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! As it should be! Prime Minister Thomas agreed.

"General Schneider, do you have any questions?" Caracalla asked.

Schneider shook his head, saluted Caracalla, and retreated into the column, just as another herald hurried up to the main hall.

Caracalla couldn't help but frown, she subconsciously had a very bad premonition.

"Your Majesty, the urgent flying pigeon of Assyria!" The herald reported and presented a letter to Caracalla.

Caracalla took the handbook and opened it, read it quickly, and felt the world spin for a while.

Caracalla pressed the handle of the throne in his right hand, and trembled with the heirloom in his left hand, his eyes full of anger.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Prime Minister Thomas asked cautiously.

Caracalla calmed down for a moment, glanced at the ministers in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "This is bad news! We, the 100,000 regular army in Assyria, were all killed by the traitor Karensa!! ”

As soon as Caracalla's words came out, it was like throwing a boulder into the calm waters of a lake, and the ministers couldn't help but cry out, and many people shouted in frustration: "How is it possible?!" ”

"Give me all peace!!" Caracalla shouted in a deep voice. The ministers' hearts sank, and they quickly quieted down.

Caracalla stood up and said proudly: "Although I, Caracalla, am a young man, it took less than ten years to go from a prince to the unification of Rome, and then I expanded my territory, and the power of my Roman Empire is far greater than back then!" There are many powerful enemies who fall in front of us! Although such a sad and angry thing has happened now, what is it to us?! ”

When the ministers heard this, a sense of pride arose.

"Your Majesty, you just said that our 100,000 army was wiped out, but what about the other 50,000?" Prime Minister Thomas asked.

Caracalla said indifferently: "It was they who set up an ambush for our 100,000 army!" ”

As soon as the ministers heard this, they understood.

Caracalla said, "At present, Karen Sa's army of 250,000 men is under their control!" ”

Prime Minister Thomas categorically suggested: "Your Majesty, this problem must be solved quickly by thunderous means!" Otherwise, the problem is serious! ”

Caracalla nodded, "I see what you mean!" Schneider! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"I hand over to you the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Guards Legions, 1st and 2nd Spartan Legions, and 3rd and 4th Legions, are you sure that the Assyrian rebellion will be put down in a short time?"

"No problem! The only thing that really had some fighting power in Assyria was the renegade of the 24th Legion! Schneider said with confidence.

"Excellent! I hand over these seven legions to you, and you can set out at once! ”

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, we still have to think about something!" Prime Minister Thomas said suddenly.

"Oh? What's the problem? ”

"Your Majesty, we must consider the reaction of the Wei side!"

Caracalla frowned, "What does the prime minister mean that the Wei State may interfere with our army's counterinsurgency operations?" ”

"Yes! Although we have not completely broken with the Wei State, we have previously claimed an armistice and formed an alliance with the Jin State when the situation of the Wei army is in a good situation, which is equivalent to declaring war on the Wei State! Therefore, it is highly likely that Wei will use this opportunity to use Karen Sa to weaken us! ”

Caracalla sat down on the throne, his brow furrowed.

"On what scale will the Wei State intervene?" Caracalla asked.

Prime Minister Thomas pondered: "It's hard to say! If they don't want to completely break with us for the time being, they won't send troops to intervene, but will support Karen Sa with weapons and equipment! ”

"What if Wei decides to break with us at this time?" Caracalla asked with a frown.

Prime Minister Thomas said: "That will be the last thing we want to see!" The Wei army's 1st Army, 2nd Army Corps, 4th Army Corps and Iron Cavalry are all in the Western Regions, and these 350,000 troops are all the elite of the Wei army! That Wei army iron cavalry swept thousands of miles in the territory of the Jin Kingdom back then, and was invincible! If they throw themselves into the Assyrian battlefield, they will only be afraid of ・・・・・・"

Thomas shook his head with a wry smile. Caracalla and the ministers all frowned, and no one dared to pat their chests in front of the Lion of the Wei Army.

Thomas continued: "But don't go too far! According to the current situation, it is unlikely that the Wei army will put all these main elites into the Assyrian battlefield! This is very unwise! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and nodded.

Caracalla mused, "It looks like we have to prepare for the worst!" Yushchenko, you have to pay close attention to every move of the Wei side, and report any situation to me and General Schneider at the same time! This time, I will eliminate you, don't be derelict in your duties! ”

Yushchenko hurriedly agreed.

Caracalla's gaze turned to Schneider's body and advised: "Once you receive the news of the Wei army's advance, immediately stop the attack and arrange defenses on the spot!" ”

"Yes!"

Caracalla said to Prime Minister Thomas: "Prime Minister, immediately send an order to the Twelve Eastern Provinces to gather the local garrisons in the territory!" ”

The so-called Twelve Provinces of the East are probably the current Asia Minor region! (To be continued.) )
