Chapter 393: Momia
Even if it is a big war, no one dares to guarantee life and death.
Before Cao Cao set out on the expedition, he gathered all the children of the Cao family and left instructions.
If he fails, Cao Zhi will inherit the position of the prince of the country.
As long as Lu Bu is still alive, the Cao family must not rebel.
As soon as the war begins, it can't be hidden.
Gan Ning and Wei Yan both wanted to fight, and Lu Bu asked them to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses each and sail to the Mediterranean.
Let Ganning occupy Sardinia and create a military logistics base.
Let Wei Yan go to Monaco or Italy to find a landing site and establish a base area.
The capital of Rome was in Milan, and Lü Bu wanted to have an army that could directly attack the royal court.
As soon as the 100,000 navy came out, Lu Bu's warships and transport ships were basically used up.
Moreover, the soldiers and horses in various places were basically exhausted, and only a small number of those who remained were used to maintain power.
Gan Ning's soldiers and horses were the Southern Navy and the poisonous soldiers, and most of Wei Yan's soldiers and horses were Liaodong soldiers and horses.
It's all a transoceanic war, and it will be a few years before it is possible to return.
Therefore, all kinds of preparations require a lot of time.
And as soon as the war started, Lu Bu was more in charge of the military.
Therefore, in addition to the court meeting and the court, all the people who played Lu Bu began to transfer to the crown prince Lu Tianlong.
Of course, it has to be cultivated. All the twists and turns must be seen by Lu Bu before they can be officially sent.
Moreover, if the front-line army wins a great victory, the territory is expanded.
A number of officials appointed, and Lu Bu also asked the prince to appoint him.
In other words, Lu Bu has already begun to let Lu Tianlong cultivate his own team.
Lu Bu is only responsible for fighting the world, guarding the world, and handing it over to his children and grandchildren.
No matter how much reform is carried out in the future, it is no longer his responsibility.
Lü Bu left behind a hundred schools of thought, believing that his descendants would be able to find a more powerful strategy for governing the country.
The war was not all smooth sailing, Sun Quan took Sima Shi's wife, and sent troops to attack Sima Shi, how could Sima Shi not be angry.
Due to the large gap in weapons between the two sides, the Roman navy could not defeat it.
Sun Quan is also very inflated and pursues himself.
However, chasing and chasing, it was intercepted by mines.
Sima Shi casually threw dozens of mines behind his buttocks, which frightened Sun Quan's large warship.
The first one was bombarded by several mines and was directly paralyzed.
Although it did not sink, it was a great loss.
Basically, in the short term, the warship will no longer be able to be used.
The small mine made it impossible for Sun Quan's navy to move forward.
And these mines will continue to drift, and if there are enough of them, the entire sea area will be unsafe.
Of course, there were also very few thermal weapons in Rome, and it was impossible to use them casually.
From the study of gunpowder technology to the excavation and refining of saltpeter mines, all kinds of projects take time.
Sun Quan had no way to chase him, so he had to make a detour to the coastal zone to find a landing point, and then build a base.
No matter how backward the communication is, after so long, Sima Zhao, who is in Africa, also got the news of the war.
Sima Zhao knew that his military talent was not comparable to that of his eldest brother Sima Shi, but after more than five years, he had also cultivated a force in Africa.
And all he can do is to intercept the Red Sea and not allow Lu Bu's navy to pass through at will.
The only point that Sima Zhao can intercept is the narrow strait from Suez to Port Said.
The two armies are in a big battle, and what awaits him is Zhao Yun's 50,000 navy.
Obviously, no matter how strong the Egyptian soldiers and horses were, they could not beat the shells of the Chinese army.
Zhao Yun successfully landed and established a defensive line throughout the strait.
This will be the lifeblood of the future, and it must not be missed.
The war was not entirely smooth sailing, and after Sun Quan found a flat area and landed on the shore, he also faced many problems.
The first is to build roads, and the second is to build base areas.
And at the moment, there is a serious problem ahead.
"Wu Gong, there is only half a month left of our army's food and grass. Without replenishment, there will be a food deficit crisis. ”
Sun Quan frowned: "When will the emperor's grain and grass arrive?" ”
Zhu Zhi replied: "Our army's grain and grass are provided from North America, and Princess Cao sent a message that it will take another month for next month's grain and grass." In other words, our army will face a half-month food shortage crisis. ”
As soon as the Great War began, warships and transport ships were used in large quantities.
It is extremely difficult to rely on ocean-going transportation for 50,000 people's logistical grain and grass.
After thinking about it, Sun Quan said: "Since there is none, then grab it." The Romans dared to plunder the people of China, why can't we! ”
"This!" Zhu Zhi was sluggish: "But the emperor has always asked not to disturb the people as much as possible!" ”
Sun Quan shook his head: "That is based on the situation that our army's logistics are worry-free. Tai Shici, Ding Feng, and Ling Tong listened to the order. ”
"The last general!" The three of them clasped their fists in unison.
"Each of you will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and go out to plunder grain and grass. and they have taken their people together to be slaves to our army. ”
"Obey!"
After giving the order, Sun Quan returned to the camp and continued to pamper his concubine Anne.
will be outside, and the king's order will not be granted.
Moreover, many details are basically not reported.
Sun Quan connived at the soldiers to plunder the Roman people, but Lü Bu did not know about it.
Even if he knew, he couldn't stop it.
Without food, it is impossible to care about military orders.
And once the robbery is opened, the ensuing rape, murder and plundering cannot be stopped.
The soldier was out on the march, and he was already bored and panicked, and when he saw a woman, who didn't want it.
If not, there would not be countless comfort women and the like in history.
The first person in China to create this system for a long time is also the practice of lying on the back and trying the courage.
Although Gou Jian is often used as a positive image reference, what is the salary to taste the courage, to defeat the strong with the weak. But Lu Bu has no good impression of Gou Jian.
With Zhao Yun and Lu Ling to protect them, the navies of Gan Ning and Wei Yan also successfully crossed the Red Sea and entered the Mediterranean.
And Lü Bu was also going on an expedition, and his goal was to attack the capital of the Roman Empire and occupy the political center of Rome.
It's just that it takes time, so he asked Gan Ning and Wei Yan to go and set up a stronghold for him first.
Again, Roman slaves were very inhuman.
Therefore, Lu Bu's plan to the generals is to do the opposite.
That is to free these slaves and act as their vanguard.
He also set these slaves free, and gave them clothing and food, which were basically available to him.
Although Macrinus, the, became emperor, he did not liberate the human rights of blacks for his own enjoyment.
Slaves and gladiators, still the most.
Although there were wars on all borders, the capital of the Roman Empire was still peaceful.
The magnates still enjoyed the wine and watched the slaves fight.
In this wine pond meat forest, only one person saw the danger of destroying the country.
However, this person was not a general, nor a high-ranking official, but a woman.
Momia, the mother of Alexander Severus.
With the rise to power of Macrinus, Alexander's royal family was bloodied.
The rest are just a few young marginal blood relatives.
Momia hated the Macrinus so much that she wanted to stab Macrinus in the heart with a sharp knife.
But she is a weak woman, how can she beat Macrinus.
But she is not unarmed, she still has a beautiful face and a noble status.
She wants to prop up his son to the throne, and she wants to return to white power.
She wants to use her physical advantage to gather power for her.
