Sima Shi said solemnly: "Although I have brought various species to the Empire, I have brought steel swords, electricity and gunpowder. But compared with Huaguo's technology, it is really too far behind. If it's just through a spy, it's too slow. Therefore, the best way to do this is war and plunder. By plundering the territory of Huaguo, you can directly obtain Huaguo's technology and factories. Only in this way can we gain the strength to play against Huaguo. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but whisper.

In the middle of the main hall, there is also a world map.

Everyone originally thought that the Roman Empire was the most powerful power in the world, but on the other hand, the territory of China was larger than their territory.

That's when they learned that there was such a vast land beyond the Mediterranean.

Beyond that distant sea, there are several large states.

It's a pity that North and South America, as well as Oceania, were all occupied by China.

And Africa is poor, and they only occupy Egypt and other places, so they can't go south.

Because any further down, it's all endless desert.

According to the news brought by Sima Shi, the emperor of Huaguo was called Lu Bu.

This person is also a generation of great emperors who want to dominate the world.

That is, in the near future, the Chinese army will invade the Roman Empire in a big way.

Similarly, the Roman Empire had long since stationed military bases on the Mediterranean border, and at the same time investigated the fact that Arab and Kushan countries had been conquered by China.

And the all-powerful guns, which shocked the entire Roman leadership.

They had never been afraid, but finally there was a trace of fear.

It was precisely because of the fear that someone frowned and said: "The Chinese army is so powerful, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to my Roman Empire to provoke a war now." Now that we have a large abundance of species and a great increase in national strength, why not accumulate for a few more years and then make plans. ”

"That's a mistake!" Sima Shi said: "The species is abundant, and it can indeed prosper the country. However, it is difficult to increase the strength of the military. If you want to improve your military strength, you can only plunder Huaguo technology. My Emperor, I beg to be led to the expedition to rest or Arabia. As long as we lay here, our country will be able to obtain the precious resource of oil! ”

At this moment, Macrinus, the contemporary ruler of the Roman Empire, could not help but ponder.

Yes, Macrinus was the only black emperor in the history of ancient Rome.

Gladiatorial fighting was prevalent in Rome, and Macrinus fought in the colosseum of slaves.

Macrinus was a war slave, but he amassed a lot of money through gladiatorial battles and then ransomed his freedom.

Macrinus worked hard, and after his freedom, he continued to learn and became a master of law.

The emperor appreciated him very much, and he elevated his official position.

As the Roman Empire continued to fight, Macrinus, who followed the emperor, amassed a lot of military exploits and prestige.

As luck would have it, the emperor at the time, Caracalla, was assassinated and killed.

And the army is on the front line and needs a new emperor.

Therefore, Macrinus, who had enough prestige, was pushed to the top and became the first black emperor in history.

It's also strange to have blacks in power in a white world.

From a black slave to the emperor of the Roman Empire, climbing from the bottom to the top, it is a peerless legend.

It's a pity that after Macrinus came to power, he began to degenerate and decay.

Why do you want to be an emperor, of course you have to enjoy it.

Within two months, Macrinus had selected more than 500 glamorous concubines across the country.

And then he lives that kind of drunken life every day, and he doesn't care about all kinds of government affairs.

Because of this, the historical Roman soldiers and people were very dissatisfied with him and began to rebel.

Macrinus finally died in June 218 AD.

It was now the end of 217 A.D., and it was also the time when domestic tensions were about to erupt.

No matter how stupid Macrinus is, he can feel these situations.

What's more, he is not stupid at all, but a great talent in both civil and military affairs.

He's just a little slack off if he wants to enjoy life better.

He was worried that he couldn't find a solution, but now he did.

Fighting abroad is the best way to divert internal contradictions.

"Okay, the great master listens to the order, and this emperor will make you the generalissimo, and raise 200,000 troops to rest in peace. If anyone disobeys the military order, you can cut it first! ”

Sima Shi was not overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down: "Emperor Xie!" ”

However, some elders were not convinced, and hurriedly bowed down: "The emperor can't, even if you want to go on an expedition, you have to choose a handsome." The national teacher is young and knowledgeable, and he has never been in charge of the army, how can he take on such a great responsibility! ”

"Yes, please be cautious!"

……

Sima Shi's eyes were cold, and he looked coldly at the elders who had spoken against him.

The elders were furious when they saw it, and they couldn't help but say nothing.

The corners of Macrinus's mouth twitched, very satisfied.

Sima Shi is ambitious, and ambitious people dare to fight and kill.

"Bendi has made up his mind, no need to discuss it again!"

The emperor gave an order, and the elders had no choice but to sigh and sigh.

Macrinus summoned Sima Shi alone and gave him many instructions.

First of all, those soldiers and horses who intend to rebel against him must be controlled as soon as possible and sent to the battlefield.

The chosen goal was to rest in peace, just to send the soldiers next to Xu Lia to fight.

In fact, in history, it was Xu Lia's soldiers and horses who took the lead in rebelling against Macrinus.

Of course, that little bit of soldiers and horses is not enough.

Macrinus gave Sima Shi 200,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to the 150,000 troops, there were 50,000 pure slaves.

These slaves who came out of the gladiatorial arena were all cruel goods.

Whether it is used as cannon fodder or a charging trap, it is an excellent spearhead.

And the rest is the post-Iraq zone, and Xulia is right next to it.

The territory that Rome already occupied, Lu Ling and Cao Cao did not move lightly.

Even if there is some border friction, it is a small fight.

Stabilizing the territory and developing oil to provide more energy for China is the major issue at present.

Since it is the border between the two countries, of course, there are large armies stationed to prevent a major war at any time.

I have to say that with the end of the war in the past few years, Cao Cao and others are also a little lazy.

Living a wine-colored life in the castle every day is simply as happy as a fairy.

When Sima Shi's army came to the border of Xulia, Cao Cao got the news.

An army of 200,000 is not a small number, and Cao Cao summoned everyone in the Guogong Mansion and began to transfer troops to punish generals.

Lu Bu has not yet sent the prince to divide power, of course, everything is up to him.

Xun Yu said: "We must push the army to the front line and keep the oil wells. Once the drilling catches fire, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Guo Jia then said: "I have to ask the emperor to send troops to help, whether it is to supervise the army or support, it is best to have the emperor's own soldiers participate." ”

"Yes, when the war is together, a large amount of armaments and materials are needed, and they must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible."
