The Qin State in the East, like a round of rising sun, is rising.

Its light exudes dazzling brilliance, under this endless halo, such as Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Li Zuoche, Li Zhongxiang, these characters who have left traces in history, are rewriting their lives with a new look and attitude.

And among these brilliant names, Li Yuan's figure is the most shining one of the Big Dipper, and without his guidance, other constellations will lose their goal of catching up.

Looking at Li Yuan, who was explaining the situation and geography of various parts of the West to the generals of the Qin army, Han Xin's expression was solemn, and his heart was not calm for a long time, from the bottom of his heart, Han Xin was a very proud person, especially in terms of fighting with troops, his capture of fighters, analysis of the situation of the enemy and his enemy, and grasp of the mentality of the enemy generals had reached the point of perfection.

But in the face of Li Yuan, Han Xin's self-confidence dropped to a low point, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, these momentary heroes, fell like meteors one by one, Han Xin asked himself, although he is resourceful, but in front of the son of heaven who often stages turnarounds, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.

"King Yan, next, the main goal of your ministry is to continue to oppress westward, and strive to completely wipe out the Rakshasas (Slavs) along the Yenisei and Volga rivers in three years, so as to force these peoples to move westward, do you understand?" Li Yuan talked about the human geography of Europe and looked at Han Xin with blazing eyes.

"Bixia, are you sure you want to expel and not exterminate them all?" Han Xin asked with a puzzled expression.

The result of the expulsion is likely to leave sequelae, and what the Qin State did when it was strong today may be considered an excuse for other clans to take revenge in a few years, but if it is physically eliminated, even if those victims grit their teeth with hatred, it is impossible to crawl out of the netherworld.

Li Yuan nodded: "The decisive battle between Great Qin and Rome is not far off. We don't have so much time to pay attention to those backward tribal peoples, at this time, we want to concentrate all Liliang, Yan Wang, although your troops are in the north, but once the war is tight, they will be requisitioned to the southern battlefield at any time. ”

In history, the great migration of peoples in northern Europe, which disintegrated the Roman Empire, took place more than a hundred years later, and the real promoter, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was destined to be impossible to appear in this time and space. Therefore, for the sake of the future of the people of Daqin, in order to highlight the leading position of the Eastern nation, Li Yuan made a move.

"The last will be at the mercy of Bixia's orders." Han Xin was excited, and the importance that Li Yuan gave him in his words greatly satisfied Han Xin's self-esteem.

Decisive battle with Rome.

This was not only Li Yuan's expectation, but also the goal of Han Xin and other Qin army generals, after completing the battle of domestic unification, the military generals lost their goal for a while. It was Li Yuan who once again summoned up their enterprising fighting spirit.

With such an understanding, Han Xin's posture over the years has been very correct, although he was appointed as the king of Yan, the number of soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction reached 100,000. But as soon as he received Li Yuan's order to go on another expedition, Han Xin did not hesitate to leave everything behind and personally led the army to rush into the ice and snow.

――。

Western Balkan Peninsula.

The ancestral shrine of the Macedonians, on the shores of Lake Ohrid. Seven days of snow covered the valleys and hills in this area with a thick white cotton coat.

Unlike the Romans, who started out with oil crops such as olive trees, Macedonians were more adept at hunting. The mountainous and rugged terrain, cold and damp weather, and the roads that were not very smooth allowed the Macedonian ancestors to freely grow and breed in this land that belonged to them.

One hundred and fifty years ago, Alexander the Great led his Macedonian people out of the mountains and southward to occupy the Peloponnese, so that the Greek city-states, who had always looked down on Macedonia as barbarians, attached their heads to the ears, and then the Macedonian army marched eastward to annex the mighty and declining Persian Empire, and at its most glorious time, Alexander even went east to South Asia.

If it weren't for Alexander's early death, this great empire across Europe and Asia might have really given the Macedonians a chance to grow their nation, but all of this, after the death of the great hero, has become a hopeless bubble. Philip V was one of the most ambitious Macedonian kings in the future, but now he was in a particularly difficult situation, with the Romans already under the capital and Macedonia on the verge of its demise.

In the city of Pera.

King Philip V of Macedon was sad, and the sudden battle launched by the Qin army in Constantinople had not yet reached the west coast due to weather and terrain.

The betrayal of the Thracians, the watchful eyes of the Greeks, made Philip V feel a deep despair, where are the reinforcements? Around the clock, the army of the ally Ptolemaic Kingdom was far on the other side of the Mediterranean, and when it could arrive depends not only on the attitude of the other side, but also on whether the sea allows it.

At this time, although sea navigation on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean was already common, its timing and safety were not completely guaranteed, and it is difficult to say whether Ptolemy's Pharaoh could agree to support it, given the complexity of transporting troops by sea.

As for the Qin people?

Philip V had great hopes at first, and perhaps made a bunch of empty promises, but almost two months later, according to the envoys, the Qin had grown in strength to train their armies in the Anatolian Peninsula, but there had been little real action.

In mid-December, under the persuasion of Macedonian envoys, a small force of less than 3,000 people crossed the sea and landed, but now that the Thracians have rebelled, the fate of this small Qin army is estimated to have perished in the depths of this mountain.

――。

Trapped in the city, Philip V was desperate. And Scipio, the commander of the Roman army that surrounded him, was not much better.

Persistence is victory!

This sentence could not have been more appropriate when applied to the 50,000 Roman soldiers of the Eastern Crusade. At the beginning of the war, the Roman army, which benefited from Scipio's unexpected tactics, was now obstructed by the rear consul Fabian, so that the Roman army gradually lost its initial sharpness, and the bad weather made the Romans in the outer city of Pera miserable.

The Macedonians were trapped in an isolated city.

Philip V did not have the courage to go out of the city, and he was like a turtle with a shrunken head, so that the Romans could not find a chance to fight him.

Sinnosfali.

The fortress was now an important supply point for the Roman army, and Scipio's central army was based here.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, why did you jump out at this time, and those Thracian fools, they can't even defend the city, it's really stupid." The Roman commander Scipio cursed with a gloomy face.

His expression was as thick as the weather of this month, and the siege of the Macedonian capital had been going on for two full months, and the Macedonian defenders in the city of Pera were dying little by little, and in the outer areas, the so-called allies of Philip V began to shake one by one.

Victory is just around the corner.

Just add a handful of strength and push hard. But at this critical time, Scipio heard the news that Constantinople had fallen and been occupied by the Qin army.

"General, those Thracians reported that the Qin had used a strange weapon that made a loud noise, and the walls were blown down almost instantly. Could this mean that the Qin people really have new weapons in their hands that we don't know about? Beside Scipio, a burly man said.

"Pedeus, do you know what you're talking about? New weapons? How is this possible, with the wisdom of my great Rome, it is impossible to invent anything that can collapse the bluestone city wall at once, which is obviously those Thracian barbarians who underestimated the enemy and let the Qin people take advantage of the loophole. "Among the Roman generals, self-confident people must have made up the majority. The strong man, Pedeus, clearly belonged to the minority.

"Peterus, in order to confirm your suspicion, now, General Ben orders your 10,000 soldiers to withdraw from the city of Pera, and then make a detour around Lake Ohrid to meet the Qin people for a while, how about it?" Scipio's voice rang out, overpowering the Roman generals in a tumultuous manner.

"The last general will go and gather the soldiers, and I, Petius, will not disappoint the general." The strong man's expression tightened, and he commanded loudly.

Scipio nodded, silently watching Petius leave. Scipio had the heart to believe the questioning voices of the Roman generals, but deep down in his heart it was as if a voice was crying out to him, all this was true, and what the Thracians said was true.

Pelius is a brave general he trusts, and his 10,000 soldiers are composed of Gauls from France, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary.

――。

Rome and Great Qin.

It's getting closer.

This caused panic among the peoples of the warring vortex, and the Thracians were unfortunately the first to fall victim, much to the schadenfreude and deep unease of their old rivals, the Greeks.

Ancient civilization.

It has become a history of remembrance, and the loose alliances of the Greeks have long since had no advantage over more rigorous and disciplined opponents.

More than 1,500 islands, the Cretan League, the Peloponnese Spartan League, and the Athenian Delian League in the center of the South Aegean Sea were open and secret battles, which made the Greeks suffer more internal friction, and after Alexander's conquest, the glory of the Greeks ceased to exist.

Now they existed only as a vassal of the Macedonian kingdom, and in the face of Philip V, the Greeks were inferior even to the Thracians. (To be continued......)
