The Great Qin fleet is on the march!

In the watchful eyes of many fishing boats, the warships flying the battle flags are like prismatic fish rushing to the sea, jubilantly pounced on the warm embrace that belongs to it. The hurricanes in the Mediterranean Sea could not stop the pride of the Great Qin soldiers fighting the sea, and the days of the Romans dominating the Mediterranean were coming to an end.

After the departure of the Qin fleet, the sea returned to calm, and the once somewhat chaotic fishermen once again focused their attention on the fish below the surface, for them who were busy with their livelihoods, every moment and every hour of time was extremely precious, and a moment of negligence may let the fish escape, and at that time, the old and young wives and children of the family can only go hungry.

However, there were exceptions among the fishing boats, and after a short period of watching, one or two of the fishermen on the boats were visibly absent-minded, and they hurriedly salvaged their nets and drove away as fast as they could in the empty boats.

Looking out to sea from the height of the cliff, condescending, unobstructed, the three Qin soldiers in charge of the lookout stared at the unusual fishing boat for a while, and one of them ran down the mountain quickly, heading towards the Qin camp in Troy Harbor.

Inside the Trojan camp.

Admiral Luan Bu is drinking tea with a middle-aged man in black in the hall, judging from the seats on both sides, Luan Bu is the first, and the middle-aged man is sitting at the top, judging from the expressions of both sides, Luan Bu is also respectful, and carefully answers the other party's questions as a subordinate.

"Lord Meng, as you expected, there are Roman scouts among the fishing boats, this time we were negligent?" Luan Bu said anxiously while wiping his sweat. The news brought back by the three soldiers made Luan Bu break out in a cold sweat, if it weren't for the mysterious big man in front of him who arrived in time, the whereabouts of the Great Qin fleet would have been exposed.

Shadows and scouts.

Another secret war between Great Qin and Rome is also quietly starting.

The battlefield of hegemony. The two armies faced each other and fought each other in a bloody battle, while the other came from a dark war where the smoke of gunpowder could not be seen. This middle-aged man dressed in black. It is the current head of the Military Intelligence Department of the Qin State, the former border army general Meng Hu, the only descendant of the Mengshi who could have grown into a prince who guarded the town like Han Xin and Li Zhongxiang, but now he is willing to silently guard behind Li Yuan and become an important and indispensable chess piece.

The battlefield is like a chess battle.

If Han Xin and Li Zhongxiang were the car, then Meng Hu and Yan Le were the taxis guarding Li Yuan's left and right, and they were responsible for the intelligence work at home and abroad in Great Qin.

"General Gan, please let me know. As for the words of thanks, keep it for Bixia to explain, I will send someone to inform you in time of the situation of the Roman fleet, and when the time comes, you can be ruthless, don't waste the hard work of the brothers of the Military Intelligence Division. Meng Hu took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Don't worry, my lord, the end will take care of it. In the end, this will drive away the fishing boats in the harbor. Luan Bu hurriedly confessed.

"Well, the general doesn't have to be like that, although the Romans have sent scouts, let's let them see enough. As for what to see clearly, the general will not be unaware! Meng Hu frowned slightly and said.

"The last general has not thought it through, thank you for the reminder." Luan Bu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly realized. When marching and fighting, the emphasis is on tearing up one by strength, and the other front of the secret war. It was full of trickery and deception, and Menghu's intention was clear, that is, to make the Romans lose their correct judgment in the face of wrong information.

――。

Summer in the Mediterranean.

It is the hot season, and there is nothing else on the bodies of men and women except a wisp of shameful cloth. If there was no major war, the great Roman slave owners were really reluctant to go to sea to accept the sun, and they longed for to hide in the cool cliff caves, call a few young slave girls, and then make a fool of themselves.

As the commander of the Roman Grand Fleet, his life has become extremely difficult since the fall of the Grell fleet, Scipio has just taken office and faced the squeeze of Qin and its ally, and the young consul who felt the pressure had nowhere to vent his anger, so he naturally took Crassus, who had broken Rome's opportunity, as a scapegoat.

Crassus, who couldn't stay in the Apennine Peninsula, had no choice but to lead his subordinates to wander around the Aegean Sea, hoping that one day he would be lucky enough to find the Qin Navy to avenge his revenge.

Athens.

The free trade city of the Greek peninsula, the glorious history of the past, the footprints of many philosophical sages, and the developed economy and trade have left too many memories of the city. Athens, the main supply port of the Roman Grand Fleet in the Aegean Sea, was not directly close to the sea, but because of its special harbor, Roman warships were able to moor their main warships in the open sea, while the rest of the small ships sailed into the inner harbor to enjoy the wonderful pleasure of this free city.

Inside the tavern at the pier.

Sailors, oarsmen, and merchants from all over the world gathered here, talking to each other, and telling jokes about what they had seen and heard a while ago.

"What did you say, the fleet of the Qin State appeared?" In a corner of the tavern, Crassus, the commander of the Roman Grand Fleet, had bloodshot eyes and asked the scout who had told the news.

"General, this is absolutely not mistaken, my subordinates personally took fishing boats in the area of the Dardanelles and saw more than 30 large ships leaving the port." The Roman scout, who had been caught by the placket, blushed and argued urgently. Crassus was clearly half-drunk, and he couldn't control the strength of his hands, and if he pushed harder, the hapless scout would hang up.

"Thirty, it seems that the big fish has finally come out, brothers, let's go!" Crassus was stunned for a long time before he screamed and threw the wine vessel to the ground.

"My lord, stay a few more days, and then there will be a fresh child!" Seeing a large group of drinkers leaving, the tavern owner, who was unwilling to let the big customers run away, couldn't help but stop at the door.

"Fuck off, Fat Pig!" Crassus shouted angrily.

The news of the departure of the Qin fleet made the commander of the Roman fleet, who was struggling to find an opponent, ecstatic, at this time, not to mention the chubby tavern owner, no matter how coquettish the woman was, she could not impress Crassus's firm heart.

Outside the port of Athens.

The Roman fleet set sail, and they hurriedly attacked, only keeping food and drinking water in the cabin for ten days, although these supplies were a little less, but Crassus didn't care, there are many islands in the Aegean Sea, although not every big island has enough supplies, but as long as they can find the fleet of the Qin State within ten days, it is nothing to endure for a few days.

Fat Pig!

The tavern owner, who had been scolded for his scolding, had a red nose and watched Crassus and the others go away, and after a while, he suddenly ran into the tavern quickly, and then said to a tall and thin man sitting in the corner.

"Your Excellency. The Romans' drinking barrels, only ten can drink, the remaining five, filled with seawater, if it is not for the time constraints, and the fear of being discovered, the subordinates can fill more. And the jerky that was brought on the ship was almost inedible, and if the Romans had eaten it, sickness would be a trivial matter, and poisoning would have been a major matter! The owner of the Rednose Tavern said cautiously.

"Saidi, this thing is done well, cover your head there, there will be a reward after a while, remember, as long as you do things well for Daqin, we Oriental people are trustworthy and will not forget old friends." The tall, thin man stood up as he spoke, his black cloak draped over his body, making him look like a ghost.

"Don't worry, in the villain's tavern, as long as there is any trouble, you will immediately inform the adult." Red-nosed boss Sadie was excited, rubbing his hands vigorously and said.

Sadie was born and raised in Athens, and his ancestors were honest merchants, and this tavern has been in business for more than 100 years. However, it is not easy to live. Especially opening a tavern in a complex place like the Freeport Pier is impossible without a little background, without strong shili support.

A year ago, Sadie's business went bankrupt, and when he was standing on the streets of Athens and preparing to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea, the Oriental man who didn't even leave his name just now rescued him and gave him a batch of funds that were enough to resume the tavern's operation.

Then, Sedi willingly became an intelligence station set up by Great Qin in Athens, how many such places Qin has in the Greek Peninsula, Sedi doesn't know, he doesn't want to know, from the mouths of those guests who come and go in the tavern, Sedi only has one feeling, that is, the mysterious power in the East is showing more and more deterrent power in the Mediterranean.

Egypt fell, and the Ptolemaic kingdom, once famous for the marriage of father and daughter, brother and sister, also ceased to exist with the disappearance of Ptolemy V. The Macedonian kingdom ceased to exist, and although the Romans briefly occupied Pella, it was the Qin state that eventually gained the Balkans.

The situation on the Greek peninsula was also turbulent at this time, the Shili of the Romans, the independent liliang of the city-states, and the unknown careerists were all looking at this land where an ancient and splendid civilization was born, and among these shili, the Qin people were the latest to enter, but they were the most tenacious.

Among the upper echelons of Greece, most of the disciples of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle in the Athens Lycion Academy had already turned their hearts to the Qin State, and Diccar, Gemetheus and others among them even ran to the occupied territory of the Qin State with their students; Ordinary civilians like Saidi compared the severity of the taxes paid by Qin and Rome, and at the same time hesitated whether to listen to the eastern invaders of different colors, or choose to go to the neighboring Romans, who were close to the same ancestry.
