Just as Cao Cao was about to take action, Zhen Mi's voice suddenly sounded, "Your Majesty, you look like a little scoundrel!" β
Cao Cao was stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Diao Chan escaped from Cao Cao's arms.
Cao Cao, who didn't succeed, glared at Zhen Mi fiercely, and said viciously: "Mi'er, Your Majesty wants to use you as compensation!" β
Zhen Mi pursed her touching red lips and said very aggrievedly: "What? They didn't offend you! β
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
Cao Cao and his wives quarreled for a while, then changed into civilian clothes and left the palace.
Sipater could not resist the loss of the cities under his control one after another, so he had to abandon Newman and lead the remnants to Lusitania Province.
There are three provinces in the entire Iberian Peninsula, namely Lusitania, Grancis, and Koduba, of which Gransis is the one that Sipat had to abandon.
The province of Grancis is the largest of the three provinces, accounting for about 60% of the entire Iberian Peninsula. With the departure of Sipater, the entire province of Grantis is in the hands of the Senate rebels.
However, the provinces of Lusitania and Koduba were still under the control of the Roman army, and the former governor of Gransis Simon was responsible for defending the province of Koduba, and Simon still had more than 40,000 troops in his hands, and hundreds of thousands of Roman reinforcements were working day and night
If they can withstand the attack of the Senate rebels and the Moorish rebels, the situation in the whole of Iberia may still be reversed.
Eyes turned back to Chang'an.
Cao Cao, accompanied by a group of beautiful wives, went to the lake in the imperial garden, and saw a small figure reading a book in the pavilion by the lake from a distance.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, and asked uncertainly, "Is that Cao Le?" β
Zhen Bi glanced at it, nodded and said, "It's Cao Le!" β
Cao Cao couldn't help but said in surprise: "When did this little girl Cao Le become so honest!" β
Cai Yan glared at Cao Cao angrily, "Your Majesty, what did you say?" β
Cao Cao smiled, walked towards the pavilion, came to the pavilion, looked at the book in Cao Le's hand with great anticipation, and couldn't help but be happy, it turned out that Cao Le, the little girl, was not reading a book about learning, but the "Biography of the Great Wei Heroes", which was very popular in the society recently, which told the deeds of a fierce general of the Wei Empire, which also listed the eighteen strongest generals in a matter-of-fact manner, called "Tianwu Eighteen Generals"
Seeing this, Cai Yan was angry, "Cao Le! β
Cao Le, who was enjoying it, was startled, and subconsciously hid the book in his hand behind him, looking like a thief.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Cao Le couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw his father, mother and eldest sisters all there, and stood up and saluted very honestly: "I've seen my father, mother, and sisters!" β
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Cai Yan walked up to Cao Le and asked menacingly, "Cao Le, what were you looking at just now?" β
Cao Le's eyes rolled, "No, it's nothing?" β
"Nothing?"
Cai Yan glanced behind Cao Le and asked angrily, "What are you hiding behind you?" β
"Yes, yesγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Cao Le, a good boy can't lie!"
Cao Le pouted and took out the book hidden in the back, "That's it!" β
Cai Yan snatched the booklet away, knocked on Cao Le's head, and said angrily: "Little girl, don't study well, look at these things!" Are you done with your homework? β
Cao Le pouted and said, "People have already done it!" β
Cao Cao smiled: "Yan'er, since Cao Le has already done his homework, don't be too demanding!" β
Cao Cao nodded, looked at the list of the so-called "Eighteen Generals of Tianwu" listed in the book, and smiled, "Eighteen Generals of Tianwu!" Cao Le, which one do you like the most? β
Cao Le heard his father ask, and when he became interested, he danced his hands and said excitedly: "People like Xiahou Yuan the most!" β
Puff one! He was lightly knocked on the head by Cao Cao.
Cao Le hugged his head and pouted and asked, "Father, why are you beating me?" β
Cao Cao said angrily: "Little girl, you should be called Uncle Miaocai!" β
"Oh, people get it!"
"Little girl, why do you like your Miaocai uncle?"
Cao Le pointed to the little gray hand lying on the side and danced and said: "Because, because of Xiahou, well, Uncle Miaocai is the most like Little Ash!" β
The scene fell silent, and everyone's eyes widened.
Cao Cao laughed, Diao Chan and the others behind him couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Cao Le thought everyone agreed when he saw this, and nodded vigorously, until he saw Cai Yan glaring at him fiercely, he subconsciously shrunk his neck, stopped talking, and moved behind Cao Cao, stretched out his head to look at his mother, and then quickly shrank back.
Everyone couldn't help but smile.
Cai Yan glared at Cao Cao, and said angrily: "Cao Le is favored by you!"
Cao Cao smiled.
dragged out Cao Le, who was hiding behind him, and said angrily: "Little girl, what are you doing hiding?" Your mother won't eat you again!
The women pursed their lips and smiled. Cai Yan glared at Cao Cao fiercely, as if he was blaming him for talking nonsense.
Cao Cao took "The Legend of the Heroes of Great Wei" from Cai Yan's hand, flipped a few pages casually, and asked with a smile: "Lele, where did you get this?" β
Cao Le replied honestly: "When I was in class, I borrowed it from Sister Yu Bao'er!" β
The sister Yu Baoer in Cao Le's mouth is the little girl who was rescued by Ma Chao when the Wei army attacked Jingzhou, and now the little girl
has become a down-and-out girl.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, who was standing under the hall with a majestic face, and couldn't help but think of Cao Le's words just now, and couldn't help laughing.
Xiahou Yuan glanced at himself and asked confusedly, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with me?" β
Cao Cao smiled, waved his hand, looked at the fold in his hand, and nodded: "This matter will be done according to your wishes!" If you need anything, go to Wen Ruo and them! β
"No!"
Xiahou Yuan clenched his fists and promised, "Your Majesty will retire!" β
Cao Cao nodded, "Go get busy!" Pay attention to rest too! β
Xiahou Yuan grinned.
Xiahou Yuan came out of the Qianqing Palace and happened to meet Cui Yingying, "I've seen Niangniang!" Xiahou Yuan hugged his fists.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yingying burst out laughing when she saw him.
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but look dazed.
Cui Yingying hurriedly stopped laughing, confessed, and ran into the Qianqing Palace.
Xiahou Yuan picked at his head and muttered, "What's going on today?" β
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye in the blink of an eye.
During this half a year, the Great Wei Empire did not take any major action, focusing on recuperation and recuperation of production and economy, and in terms of foreign policy, it imitated the strategy of the Qin State in that year, and supported various forces within Rome and Jin that wanted independence and rebellion.
At present, the Iberian Peninsula is still firmly controlled by the Senate rebels, and the Moors have occupied the province of Koduba, and only the province of Lusitania is still in the hands of the Romans of the three provinces of the entire Iberian Peninsula, and tens of thousands of Roman remnants are struggling to support, Yusuf led hundreds of thousands of troops to try to fight back against the Senate rebels entrenched in the Iberian Peninsula half a year ago, but suffered the same defeat in the same place.
This battle was full of luck, perhaps because God wanted the Senate to take root here.
The power of the Senate is very different from half a year ago, the army under its direct control has reached 150,000 people, and it is worth mentioning that the other four elders of the five elders of the Senate were killed by assassins during a trip.
The strength of the Moorish army in the south has also swelled rapidly, and his strength is now stronger than that of the Senate, with a total strength of nearly 200,000 people, and they also have an advantage, that is, the gems and gold produced in the desert fringe area, and the Moor's brains are eager to get in touch with the Great Wei Empire.
Roman Palace.
Caracalla looked exhausted, sighed, and showed a blank look that was only a fleeting moment, and then replaced by strength.
Caracalla glanced at the ministers and said in a deep voice, "The current situation is very bad! The Moorish rebellion has not yet been quelled, but the remnants of the Senate have returned! β
The ministers couldn't help but look worried.
Thomas said: "Based on the current situation, we only have two options! β
Caracalla frowned, he understood what Thomas was trying to say.
Thomas said: "Either continue to send a large army, or make peace talks with them!" β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, and someone shouted: "How can this be done? How can we negotiate with the rebels? β
That's what most people do, and Caracalla frowned.
Thomas raised his voice, "Have you forgotten our main threat now?" β
The hall fell silent immediately.
Thomas said: "Our main threat is still the Wei people, and our military strength cannot be transferred too much to the west, otherwise once the Wei army attacks, then the result will be devastating!" β
Everyone frowned, and their faces were full of melancholy.
Thomas continued: "The rebel army in the Senate has now reached 150,000, and the Moorish army has reached 200,000! If we want to exterminate them, we must draw at least 400,000 main forces and spend countless money and food! And if these 400,000 main forces leave the core area of the empire and the east, then the overall security situation of the empire will become very serious! In addition, there are Jin people, don't look at the Jin people who have a good relationship with us now, everyone will never forget the previous treachery of the Jin people! If they've done that, who can guarantee they won't do it again? β
Everyone was silent, and the gloom on their faces became even thicker.
Caracalla said, "The administrator's words are to the point, do you have any other opinions?" β
The ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Caracalla took a deep breath and said to Thomas, "Administrator, you are in charge of dealing with the Senate and the Moors!" (To be continued.) )
