Chapter 470

Fifteen years.

It's just a snap of a finger.

Among the people who followed Li Yuan all the way, some people fell behind and left this team that had won countless honors to enjoy a comfortable life; Some people grit their teeth and follow each other closely, trying to improve their abilities and write their own new chapters with changes again and again.

Cao Xin has changed.

The Zheng Zheng man, who has always been reckless and impulsive, has gradually faded away from the glitz of the surface under the hammer of the years, revealing the inner texture of the metal inside.

The adventurous fight of the young Qin general, the calm admonition of the deputy general Ji Xin, went back and forth in Cao Xin's confidence, this time, he had to judge the situation by himself, this time, he couldn't rely on anyone.

――。

Sleepless nights.

The next morning, Cao Xin, who had been thinking hard all night, finally made a decision and came without being rude. Now that the Romans have come. Then it is good to "entertain" them and make a deep impression on them. As for whether it will be a big fight with a tearing face, or a friendly negotiation, it will depend on the outcome of the talks.

However, the peace talks were not a concession, a mere 10,000 enemy soldiers were nothing in Cao Xin's eyes, but it was always inappropriate to tear his face and kill every time, Cao Xin decided to change it, he not only brought Adlicia, the Thracian general, but also drew up an agreement signed by Thrace to transfer fifty miles of land around Constantinople to Qin.

As for the Qin army troops who protected the negotiations, they were also carefully selected, and Cao Xin wanted to show the strength of the Great Qin army, so that the Western powers knew that Great Qin was not easy to mess with.

The Heavenly Thunder Army is a secret weapon, so naturally it cannot be exposed, as for the Qin Army's powerful long-range weapon machine crossbow, it can be displayed, in addition, compared with the Romans who are still using bronze weapons. The Qin army's iron armor, weapons, and elite cavalry were the left arm and right arm that the soldiers relied on the most.

Liliang of the Romans and the leading jishu of the Qin army! Which one is more powerful, Cao Xin is full of confidence, you must know that the Liliang of the Xiaoyue Clan under his command is not much worse than the Romans, and even they are full of praise for the advanced and sharp iron weapons, then the Romans are also not pleased.

As for the secret of wrought iron jishu, the secrecy work of the Great Qin military construction in this regard has been done thoroughly, and Sima Yin, the master craftsman of the military construction, attaches great importance to the jishu is eye-catching.

Among the three major military constructions, Jinyang military construction has unique advantages. In the leading position in iron-making, while Sima Yin has been stationed in Jinyang for a long time, in other words, every batch of weapons that come out of the oven is his child, engraved with the name of his master craftsman, and he wants to watch them go out with his own eyes and show the infinite power of the Great Qin standard weapons on the battlefield in a foreign land.

As for the cavalry, the Qin State, which had vast pastures in the north, was rich in different fine breeds of war horses. Whether it is the Mobei horse, the Hetao horse, the Hexi horse or the sweat and blood horse, there are establishments in the Qin army.

The elite cavalry under Cao Xin's command came from the foot of Qilian Mountain and was provided to him to the Aries tribe. He has a lot of experience in horse herding.

――。

The Roman general Pelius was excited.

The messenger brought back the news that the Qin had agreed to negotiate, which was an unexpected surprise, and for the Romans, the mysterious country in the East was like a fog. It's fascinating and helpless.

How did you get those slippery and cool clothes, and was it really made of silk spit out by some insects? How is this possible?

If you can subdue the Qin people in the negotiations. Perhaps he could get more out of the road to wealth that led to the East, and the thought of this made Petius's blood boil.

The Gauls were too poor.

Among the provinces of the Roman Republic, Gaul was a remote and poor country, with the rich estates of the Apennine Peninsula and the caravans of sails in the Mediterranean

Let him be very confident in the outcome of the negotiation, the Qin people were obviously afraid, otherwise, they would not have agreed to the negotiation the first time.

I have to say.

There is a world of difference between the ideas of Westerners and those of the East. And it is this difference that makes Pelius have a problem in his judgment.

Since it was a negotiation, there were naturally many procedures to be followed, and in the back and forth of the messengers of both sides, the two sides finally agreed to choose the Golden Horn, ten miles north of the city of Constantinople, as the location. It's about the same distance from both sides, and more importantly, it's on the coastline, so it's impossible for either side to cheat.

――。

Golden Horn.

The cold currents from the Black Sea and the warm currents of the Mediterranean Sea meet here, making the fishing grounds very rich in aquatic resources, and the sea breeze at the end of February, blowing grains of yellow sand, seagulls in mid-air are feeding and flying, in the past, they had to compete with Thracian fishermen for prey, but this year they did not have to.

The Thracians were badly devastated by the Qin army, and after the loss of Constantinople, they had to flee to the Black Sea fishing grounds in the north, where the more fierce Slavs were not merciful, and the Thracians were awaited a more brutal competition for national survival.

Two hours ahead of schedule, Petius led five hundred Roman warriors to the Golden Horn. Five hundred people is the number of people agreed by both sides, no more, no less, just a thousand soldiers on both sides combined, and the formation on the beach of the Golden Horn will not seem too crowded.

Behind Petheus, all the Gallic warriors wore bronze armor with chest guards, holding oval shields in their hands, and in their hands, they each held a short spear with a sharp spear head, which is called "javelin" in the West, and its penetrating power is more powerful than the bow and arrow, and in terms of range, due to the strong arm strength of the Romans, the trajectory of the javelin is not much shorter than the crossbow of the Qin people, on the contrary, in terms of lethality, once the javelin is pierced, it will be seriously injured if it does not die.

Soon after the arrival of the Romans, the Qin army pressed over with a black and overwhelming momentum. Compared with the bright armor of the Romans, who were dressed in bright red, the uniform black of the Qin army gave people a really oppressive feeling.

Pelius saw a black shadow coming from a distance in front of the procession, and was about to shout and ask, but saw a big man in the black tower at the head, staring at a pair of ring-eyed tigers.

Great Qin and Rome.

Ethnicity and language are different.

If there is no interpreter in this kind of negotiation, it will be a chicken-and-duck talk, and it will not be possible to talk together at all. Fortunately, the Roman merchants who traveled to and from the Qin State were able to find a few, and with their translations, this conversation between the two fierce generals could continue.

However, due to various objective reasons, this meeting between the two sides can only be like the meeting of foreign guests that we have seen on television, and basically we can only feel the emotions of joy and anger on both sides, and as for what to say, it is really not so important.

As soon as Pelius came up, he opened his mouth and said: "Constantinople is the territory of the Thracians, and the arrival of the army of Great Rome this time is to be invited by the Thracians to recover the territory illegally occupied by the Qin State, so if the Qin State knows each other, immediately withdraw the army to the east bank of the strait, otherwise-!" ”

Regarding this statement, Cao Xin unceremoniously daxiao said: "The invitation of the Thracians, hehe, this general is here, but there is a personal commitment from the great Thracian chieftain, as well as a signed transfer agreement, Constantinople is now justifiably the land of my Great Qin, and no one can deceive it." ”

"The land of Great Qin? When did the Thracians agree? When Petius heard this slurring of the Roman translation, the blue veins on his forehead immediately burst out.

The expansion strategy of the Roman Republic has long decided that the entire eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea will be the territory of the Romans in the future, whether it is Macedonia or Ptolemy, they will become slaves of the Romans. Pelius was even wondering whether it would be better to use Egypt as his territory or the Balkans. And in this sensitive period, the Qin people suddenly stepped in, making the wishful thinking of the Romans fall short at once.

Just as Piethius was furious, Adesilia, a Thracian general, was dragged out of the middle of the line by the Qin soldiers, but Adehiria's face was blue and purple, and it was obvious that the Qin people did not give him good fruit to eat.

"This is the great chief of the Thracian region of Constantinople, Adesilia, what do you Romans have to say, you Romans can ask him, and see if what the general said is true or false?" Cao Xin's face sank and he shouted.

Hearing Cao Xin's shout, Adehiria's body trembled, last night, he spent the night with the general of the Qin State, and the "shamelessness" of the Qin people made him deeply understand again, not only these visible wounds on his face, but also an invisible deep scar on his buttocks.

"What General Cao said is true, I, the Adesilia tribe of Thrace, am willing to serve Daqin as the new lord, and from now on, I will never betray." Adliesia nodded again and again, the situation forced him, on his back, two sharp blades were inserted into his waist, if he did not answer to the Qin people's satisfaction, it would be the end of the corpse immediately.

"Humph! What kind of hero is such coercion on people, if you have the ability, do you dare to fight with my great Roman warriors for a while, if you lose, Ipelius will not say a word, immediately withdraw my troops back, if we win, then it is unspeakable, and ask the general to give up the city of Constantine. Pelius rolled his eyes and said hurriedly. On the other side, General Qin, it seems that he is obviously a reckless martial artist, and if he can't negotiate with him, then try to threaten him with force.

Cao Xin was furious and said: "Why do we have to give way to the city if we lose, you lose and retreat comfortably, this is unfair, my old Cao doesn't agree, if you really want to compare, if you lose the fight, then leave me with weapons and armor, and then run back with my bare ass." Do you think so? (To be continued......)
