The capital of Macedonia was besieged, Thrace and other tribes were separated from Germany, and the empire, founded by Alexander the Great, gradually came to an end of glory.

Under the onslaught of the Romans, the Macedonians had been blocked by land, and the only way out was the sea route to the sea. With a shortage of soldiers, unrest, and the situation in the city continuing to deteriorate, Philip V could not answer how long the city of Pera would last.

One day, the Macedonian fleet was defeated, and the sea lanes were blocked again, and Philip V was really a turtle in an urn.

State of Qin.

This far, strange eastern country, with its mysterious division, is now the hope of the Macedonians to keep their country alive.

November 28.

Under the circumstance that Philip V successively sent a number of envoys to the Qin realm, entrusted by Li Yuan, Luo Jia, the general of the western front of the Qin army, Lu Jia, the envoy of the Qin army, and the Macedonian envoys held emergency discussions for five consecutive days, and finally reached an agreement on the reinforcement of the Qin army across the sea, and as for the time to send troops, it should not exceed the end of December at the latest.

There is only one month of training, and there are still many places to be familiar with and learn for the soldiers of the Qin army who are about to set foot on the unfamiliar battlefield in Europe.

on the Anatolian Peninsula.

Cao Xin and Ji Xin led the training of the Qin army in full swing, and at this time, Li Yuan, the Shenwu Emperor who was heading north from Xin'an City in the Lianghe River Valley, had already reached the northernmost line of the Qin State.

Siyon at the junction of Transcaucasia and the Caspian Sea. Its real geographical coordinates should be near Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan in later generations, an important city on the northern line of the Qin State, and also the first barrier of the Qin State against the Slavs and Huns from the northern steppe.

The Caspian Sea area, in ancient times, was part of the ancient Mediterranean Sea, along with the Aral Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, etc., and later gradually shrunk through the evolution of sea and land. The Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea gradually became inland lakes separated from the Mediterranean Sea.

The structure of sedimentary rocks and the abundant resources of the seabed constitute the underground of the Caspian Sea, which contains an enviable underground treasure - oil resources.

Compared with the coal and stone in China's Hedong County, oil is more valuable, and its versatility and military value have allowed Li Yuan to find a good opportunity to break through the bottleneck of scientific and technological development.

Outside the city of Xiyong.

Groups of newly arrived Qin people are diligently reclaiming the land that has not yet been completely frozen, and many of them are new Qin people from the Kanto region.

They may just be a simple impulse. Perhaps in search of a more haode life. Perhaps in order to realize the ambitions and ideals in his heart, he responded to Li Yuan's call and traveled thousands of miles to this strange place in the Middle East.

Heaven grants Qin, if it is not taken, then Heaven should not.

Looking at these compatriots, Li Yuan's chariot stopped on the shore of the Caspian Sea, this piece of black land is so fertile. It's so tempting.

"Look, it's the banner of the Shenwu King!" A sharp-eyed man straightened up from the black earth in the field, suddenly widened his eyes and shouted loudly.

"Little Wuzi, you're dazzled. How could Emperor Shenwu come here, Xin'an City is far away from our place? The companion next to him did not look up and retorted disdainfully.

"Hey, it's really King Shenwu. I know the general next to me, it is General Li Zuoche of Xiyongcheng. The questioned man rubbed his face, dropped his farm tools and ran over.

More and more people are gathering together.

Li Yuan's name is mentioned by these newcomers from time to time. Many of them had not actually seen this Shenwu Emperor, but by word of mouth, Li Yuan's deeds had already become the most revered hero in the hearts of all Qin people.

It's not just Li Yuan.

In the next half month, the generals of the Qin army from all over the Western Qin rushed to Xiyongcheng, among them, there were the generals Huan Chu stationed in Dongyang City, and Luo Jia, who trained infantry in the area of the strait.

――。

Xiyong City.

Cold.

An important meeting was being held to determine the future strategic direction of the Qin army.

After the promulgation of the mobilization order for the Western Expedition, Emperor Li Yuan of Shenwu convened a meeting of generals at all levels of the Qin Army for the Western Expedition, which was attended by the first batch of old subordinates who followed Li Yuan's westward advance, as well as a large number of young generals of the Qin Army who followed up in the second batch, many of whom joined the army after the end of the Unification War. This time, it was also the first time they met the legendary "three-headed and six-armed" Shenwu Emperor.

In addition to the generals in the army, Zhang Liang, the great heavenly master of the Heavenly Master Dao, was also invited to attend the meeting, which was also the first time that Zhang Liang really entered the inner circle of power in the Qin State. Compared with Zhongnanshan, Zhang Liang's appearance is a little older, and his hair, which was originally a little gray, is now completely white.

"Zhang Tianshi, you have worked hard during this time." When Li Yuan saw Zhang Liang's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh. Although he instigated Zhang Liang to bring the disciples of the Heavenly Master to the west, the task of preaching was still too onerous for an old man who was almost fifty years old.

"Bixia is serious, it can make my oriental morality take root in this vast foreign land, and even if Liang spares his life, he has no regrets." Zhang Liang's eyes were full of light, and he said loudly.

After a year of preaching.

The Heavenly Master Dao in the Middle East, has been smoothly developed with more than 50,000 Taoist disciples, this achievement is inseparable from the efforts of Zhang Liang and others, it is the unremitting running of these firm believers in the Dao, so that the Hu people in Central Asia and the Middle East who are jealous of the Eastern civilization began to turn their hearts to Daqin.

This shift was decisive. It represents the first time that the Eastern civilization has gone abroad, out of the barrier of the mountains of the Pamirs, and spread among people of different skins and races.

On another battlefield.

Zhang Liang rediscovered himself, he and the Heavenly Master Dao led by him are walking on a path of rapid development, as long as they can open the door of different races, the future of the Heavenly Master Dao will be infinitely better.

In addition to the Heavenly Master Dao, the generals of the Qin army stationed in various cities have also reported to Li Yuan on the situation in the past year, among them: the most eye-catching, is the resettlement and cultivation of land in the area of the two river basins, which is different from Xiyongcheng in the cold weather in the north, the climate in the lower reaches of the two river basins in the Persian Gulf is humid, and there is no snow all year round, and the weather here is similar to the Jiangdong area of the Qin State, and some crops in the south such as rice are transplanted into the paddy fields and swamps in the area of the two rivers, and their growth momentum is good.

The food problem.

It has always been a big problem that plagues the movements of the Qin army.

For the Qin people, who were accustomed to the Oriental diet, it was too difficult to live in a place where there was a lack of wheat and rice, and they could only eat cheese products from cattle and sheep, and they could only eat local omnivorous foods.

"Generals, thank you for your efforts and hard work in the past year for the glory of Great Qin and the strength of Great Qin." In his concluding speech at the meeting, Li Yuan spoke highly of the merits of all the soldiers of the Western Expedition, and his remarks made the eyes of the generals present red.

The boy has tears and doesn't flick.

It's just that I haven't reached the sad place.

In order to pacify the occupied territory, the soldiers of the Qin army have paid too much, and some of the small-scale battles have never stopped, of course, these things can be calmed down at the level of Huan Chu and others, and there is no need to explain them one by one at today's important decision-making meeting.

"Generals, you all remember that the strength of Great Qin requires generations of athletes to fight bloodily, and it requires each of us to pay blood and sweat, and if we want to continue to maintain the leading position, the officers and men in our army must not have the slightest slack mentality, and we must always be ready to fight to the end with those hostile Liliang who dare to watch my Great Qin!"

"One day, we will let the people of Great Qin set foot in every corner of this shijie; One day, we will proudly say that the territory of Daqin is infinitely vast, but wherever the sun shines, there is the banner of Daqin fluttering in the wind; One day, our name will be mentioned and respected by generations of descendants, because we will never stop expanding our territory, and we are the greatest pioneers of this nation. ”

Li Yuan's voice was firm and powerful, listening to the ears of the young Qin army generals, it seemed that there was an irresistible magic power, and for an old ministry like Luo Jia, Li Yuan's words were the holy decree, so there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, and it was also correct.

Allowing the Qin people to go out of the Yangtze River and Yellow River regions of their hometowns and come to places they had never set foot in before was an important measure promoted by Li Yuanyi.

He hoped that with the advantage of the Qin State ahead of other nationalities, the Qin people would establish the leading position of the Qin people in Asia in one fell swoop, and only in this way would the status of the Chinese be guaranteed for a long time, and the Chinese people would not be ridiculed and accused by Westerners repeatedly using too many resources as "too many people".

Are there many Chinese?

In later generations, the population of the earth grew to seven billion, and the Chinese numbered about 1.3 billion, accounting for about one-fifth of them, and how many Caucasian people were there? There are nearly 5 billion white people, and most of them have migrated from Europe to Shijie, and it is precisely because they have mastered most of the territory and resources of Shijie that Western white Shijie will use sharp words to accuse other races of all kinds of wrongs.

You know, the total population of European Caucasians in Shijie is much more than that of Chinese, and those liberal democrats in the West never say that Caucasians want to give birth, because they occupy the most abundant places on Shijie, North and South America, Australia, are occupied by Caucasians, and even the ancestral colonies of blacks, on the African continent, there are also a considerable number of Caucasians.

If the Qin people can take the other step out of their self-contained homeland and settle down in other countries, then imagine that it will not be Westerners who say that the Chinese are not, but the Qin people, who occupy most of the territory and have many resources, will "bully" the white people.
