Chapter 1172: Alliance

"Yes! His Majesty intends to transfer these troops to General Snyder as well? ”

Caracalla nodded, "These twelve provinces can recruit a total of 600,000 garrisons!" This amount plus seven regular legions should be enough! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't transfer all these 600,000 local garrisons, otherwise if something happens in the local area, the problem will be serious!" Prime Minister said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Caracalla nodded, "Then draw 30,000 men from the local garrisons to fight in the Assyrian War!" ”

"If necessary, you can also order the imperial army stationed on the northern line of the Caucasus to flank Assyria in the south!" Thomas suggested.

At present, there are 300,000 troops in the Caucasus and the Bosphoru Kingdom in the Roman Empire, one of which is the Spartan Legion, and there are currently four Spartan Legions in Rome, which are the elite sharp knives of the Roman army.

Caracalla nodded, "It depends!" ”

Caracalla glanced at the ministers and raised his voice, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Seeing that no one asked questions, he said, "That's good! That's it! ”

After the discussion was dismissed, Prime Minister Thomas asked Caracalla for instructions: "Your Majesty, the secret envoy of the Jin people has arrived!" Do you want to meet him? ”

Caracalla nodded thoughtfully, "You bring him to the back garden."

While the envoy was being taken to the back garden, the Roman Emperor Caracalla was strolling in the shade of the trees.

"The envoy of the Jin Kingdom, Schroeder, has seen His Majesty the Emperor! On behalf of the Empress of the Contempt Kingdom, Weichen would like to pay tribute to Her Majesty! Schroeder saluted respectfully and with dignity.

Caracalla smiled and said, "The messenger doesn't have to be polite! ”

Caracalla turned around and continued to stroll under the forest, followed by several of Caracalla's close attendants and Schroeder.

"What is the messenger doing here?" Caracalla asked.

Schroeder said: "Now that Qiang Wei is swaying in the East, none of us can compete with it!" ”

Caracalla chuckled lightly and said proudly, "The messenger is serious! Wei is indeed strong, but my Roman Empire is not inferior to it, and my Roman Empire has another advantage over Wei, that is, the core area of my Roman Empire is much closer to the boundary between the two forces! In other words, once our Roman Empire goes to war with Wei, our Roman Empire has a better chance of winning! ”

Schroeder frowned and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and I are dependent on each other, why did Your Majesty use such false words to stumble on me!" ”

Caracalla spat out his footsteps, turned around, and said unpleasantly: "Is the messenger pointing at me?" ”

Schroeder hurriedly said: "Don't dare!" Wechen just wants to inform His Majesty of the actual situation! ”

Caracalla turned and continued strolling.

Schroeder said as he followed: "At present, the Roman Empire does have an advantage in strategic location compared to Wei, but there are many hidden worries in the Roman Empire!" Such as the remnants of the Senate, the rebellions in England, Assyria, Egypt, etc.! If these rebel forces were in the rear when the Roman Empire and the Wei State were at a standstill, wouldn't Your Majesty think that the matter was not serious? ”

Caracalla asked quietly, "Does the messenger have any suggestions?" ”

Seeing Caracalla's calm expression, Schroeder was a little unsure of the other party's thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, now to fight against Qiang Wei, only our two countries have formally concluded an alliance!" ”

Caracalla sat down on a clean boulder on the side of the road, glanced at Schroeder, and smiled: "Once our two countries form an alliance, our Roman Empire will share most of the pressure on the Wei army for you, what a good idea for you to fight!" ”

Schroeder said: "This is beneficial to both of us, isn't Your Majesty the corpse?" ”

Caracalla frowned, "It's hard to say! After all, Wei had no intention of going west! However, a Wei state that is too strong is indeed not a good thing for us in Rome! ”

Hearing this, Schroeder couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said urgently: "Your Majesty agrees!" ”

Caracalla nodded.

Schroeder didn't expect the covenant to come so easily, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Caracalla said, "We'll sign a formal alliance agreement early tomorrow morning!" ”

Schroeder pleaded: "We have a reluctant request from the Golden Country!" ”

Caracalla guessed the other party's request, "Say it! ”

"Your Majesty, we can return the province of Krite to us!" Schroeder said, as soon as the words came out, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Caracalla smiled, "Yes! ”

Schroeder said with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty agreed?" ”

Caracalla nodded.

In fact, the province of Krzyt was not important to Rome, and that area was a plain area with a flat river, which was not conducive to defense! Instead of holding this hot potato in your hand, it is better to change a favor! Besides, the rich province of Wright was still in Roman hands.

When Schroeder returned to the funeral hall, he was immediately greeted by his entourage and asked with concern, "My lord, how are you talking today?" ”

Rhodes said excitedly: "It's going well!" Tomorrow we will sign a formal alliance agreement with Rome! ”

"My lord, just as you went to meet the Roman Emperor, our intelligence officers got a piece of information!" Retinue of the Word.

Shi Luo sat down on the stool, took a sip of tea, and asked, "What information?" ”

"It's about Rome!" The retinue presented the information to Schroeder.

Schroeder took the information, looked at it and frowned, and exclaimed: "Something like this happened!?" Have you figured it out? ”

"There should be no problem! The Guards Corps stationed outside Rome showed signs of movement! ”

Schroeder muttered, "No wonder the Roman Emperor didn't make it difficult for me just now!" ”

Then he smiled, "That's fine!" ”

The next morning, Schroeder signed a formal alliance agreement with Rome on behalf of the Jin State in the main hall of the Roman Palace, and thus a strategic alliance was formed to jointly fight against the Eastern Wei Empire.

Karen Sa stood on a high platform outside the city, and in front of him was an army of 100,000 men he had secretly trained for half a year, which came from the Jerusalem region and the indigenous people of Assyria, who were extremely hostile to Caracalla, and all of them were equipped with weapons and armor purchased from the Wei state, so from a distance, this army suddenly looked like a regular army of the Wei Empire.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please review it!" General Jack said excitedly.

Karen Sa walked to the front of the stage and said generously: "In order to restore the orthodox of Rome, in order to liberate all the people from the tyranny of Caracalla, we will fight bloodily!! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

On the same day, Karen Sa led the 100,000 new troops and 100,000 local garrisons, a total of 200,000 troops, to march to Artashat, more than 100 miles south of the Caucasus Mountains!

With Barak as the main general and Dude as the lieutenant general, he led the 24th Army of the former Roman Empire to the border between Osrowena and Mesopotamia to prevent the Roman army from advancing eastward. (To be continued.) )
