Chapter 262: What Will You Governors Do?

"I heard you're from the far East? Are you here to see me? Sula propped her chin with one hand, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a majestic and long tone. The combination of the two personalities that made Sulla a young governor of a province at a young age with the most powerful legions in Rome was the most powerful army in Rome.

Su Wu naturally couldn't understand what Sura was saying, but Sula's simple every move and the sound that echoed in the palace made Su Wu's spirit tense, and his eyes stared at Sula without moving an inch.

After Su La's sentence was finished, several translators translated it continuously, and when it finally became a language that Su Wu could understand, dozens of breaths had passed.

"The Marquis of Anyang has admired the Governor of Sulla for a long time, and he has a handwritten letter to present to His Excellency the Governor!" Su Wu knew the meaning of Sura just asked, so he bowed to Sulla, and then took out Huo Guang's handwritten letter from his arms, and raised it with his hands respectfully.

"Bring it up." Sula pulled out his chin support hand and placed it on the armrest of the throne below, and his body sat upright, completely devoid of the previous casualness.

In the main hall, Sulla's personal guard took the letter from Su Wu's hand, came to Sula at a trot, and then knelt on one knee and presented the letter to Sulla.

Su Wu had been watching intently at what had just happened. He found that although the Han Dynasty and the Great Qin were two completely different countries, they were somewhat similar in terms of etiquette.

Su stretched his hand and took Huo Guang's handwritten letter, paper began to be introduced to Rome a few years ago, but because the road was too far away, it was extremely rare to enter Rome, so it naturally became the top luxury. Sulla had only seen it a few times, but had never written on paper. Sula carefully pulled out the letterhead from the envelope and gently unfolded it.

Huo Guang wrote the Chinese character Xiao Seal, and Sura naturally couldn't understand it, but his face was still solemn, and his gaze began to change as the letterhead was unfolded.....

Su Wu lowered his head slightly, but his eyes were always on Sura. Seeing the change in Sula's gaze and expression, Su Wu was puzzled, could this young commander from a foreign country really understand the letter written by Huo Guang, and at the same time, he was also curious about what was written on Huo Guang's letter? Although Su Wu kept this letter close to him for more than a year, he never opened the envelope without permission.

However, when Su Wu subconsciously looked at the letterhead, it made him see a ridiculous scene. Sula directly took down Huo Guang's letter...... What's even more rare is that Sura, who is holding the letterhead upside down, looks very serious, as if he is reading the contents of the letter little by little......

It took a long time for Sula to take his eyes off the letterhead, and then said to the waiter beside him, "Take it down, translator!" ”

The waiter took the letterhead, and then went to Su Wu's side, and said to Su Wu's translation team in a burst of babbling.

"They want us to send someone to work with them in translating the Governor's letters." In the end, Sula's intentions were conveyed to Su Wu by the translator.

Su Wu nodded to his entourage, and then a few translators and Sulla's attendants left the palace with letters. When these people left, Sula stood up and walked towards Su Wu in a hurry.

Sura said to Su Wu as he walked, "Your commander is called Anyang Hou Huoguang?" Is Anyang Hou his family's name? "In Sulla's understanding, Huo Guang must be a high-ranking nobleman of the Han Empire, and the Marquis of Anyang should be the name of this family.

"Uh..... Sort of! Su Wu didn't know how to explain the concept of knighthood to Sula, because Rome did not have the concept of knighthood at this time, there were only three classes: nobles, citizens, and slaves, and the nobles who exercised their rights were only granted by the Senate.

"Although I still can't understand the content of Anyang Hou Huoguang's letter, I have to admit that there is artistic beauty in his words, that letter is not only a letter for me, it is also a work of art, for such a person, I also admire it very much, you will tell me the story of Anyang Hou Huoguang!" Sura stood in front of Su Wu and chattered for a long time, Su Wu could only roughly feel that Sulla's attitude was much better than before, and it seemed that Huo Guang's letter really worked.

When the translator expressed Sulla's words in a language that Su Wu could understand, Su Wu never expected that a letter would be regarded as a work of art by Sulla.

"Your Excellency the Governor shall obey the wishes of the foreign ministers." Su Wu bowed down and agreed.

When Su Wu entered the hall, Sula was actually observing Su Wu's words and deeds, and Sula didn't know anything about Chinese at all, but from Su Wu's performance at this time, Sula probably understood some Han etiquette. When I saw Su Wu bowing slightly, Su La also put one hand on his chest and bowed his head slightly to Su Wu. Although it was just a simple action, it meant that the simplest and most primitive communication had begun between him and Su Wu.

Next, Su Wu began to tell Su La about Huo Guang's past in this hall, starting from his first entry into the court as Chang'an Ling, and until he went to Hexi to begin to conquer the Western Regions. Fortunately, Huo Guang's deeds are not a secret, and because everything Huo Guang did is known to the world, Su Wu told Huo Guang's past like a storyteller.

Even Su Wu didn't expect that he had spent more than a year, gone through countless hardships and obstacles, and traveled thousands of miles to come to this Great Qin, and on the first day he saw his envoy, he would tell a story to the governor of a foreign country like a storyteller. Su Wu estimated that he was the only one among the envoys throughout the ages, but he didn't know what his evaluation would be if this incident was recorded in the annals of history?

Sulla listened intently, only occasionally asking some doubts. When he heard Su Wu say that Huo Guang would wipe out the three southern kingdoms within a year, Su La's face also showed admiration. Then when he heard that Huo Guang had permanently driven the entire Qiang people to the snowy plateau with extremely harsh conditions with only 30,000 people, he thought of the plague that swept thousands of miles, the scene that was more terrifying than the purgatory on earth, and Su La's face also showed a deep shock.

"Your Excellency, the letter has been translated!" When Su Wu told most of Huo Guang's story, nearly two hours passed quietly. At this time, Sulla's attendant respectfully presented a parchment scroll.

Su stretched his hand to take the parchment roll, and after spreading his hands, he couldn't wait to look at it. This time it was not Huo Guang's small seal, but the Roman script that Sura was familiar with. And this time, Su Wu found that Sula's expression was even richer.

At first, Sula was just looking at it seriously, but in the end, his expression suddenly changed violently, and even in the end, he walked back and forth in the hall with the parchment scroll as if no one was around, and finally even if Sula had finished reading the contents of the parchment scroll, he had already closed the parchment roll, but he still kept walking around tightly with the parchment scroll, as if he was thinking about the content of Huo Guangxin.

"If one day...... I really want to go to this Anyang Hou Huoguang to take a look....... It's a pity......." Sura sighed heavily after a long time, Huo Guang expressed his admiration for Sula in his letter, of course, the most important point was to put forward a plan to share the territory of the Resting Empire with Sulla, and it also provided some very feasible analysis. When Sulla saw this, he had already determined that the commander who was far away in the East was a far-sighted and eloquent figure, and at this moment Sulla was actually moved. But when he thought of his own country, and of the political enemies in Rome who opposed him, Sulla felt a little overwhelmed.

"Keep telling me his story! You said earlier that Hou Huoguang of Anyang has become the third person in your empire, and with his ability, he should play a greater role in the capital of the empire, why was he sent to your Western Regions Province as a governor? Sula also didn't know much about the political system of the Han Dynasty, and in his understanding, Huo Guang's former Great General Sima Pingnan was the third person in the empire after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing, and the Governorship of the Western Regions was no different from the provinces of the Roman Republic, and Huo Guang's current position as the Governor was the same as his own governor.

Huo Guang's experience and current situation made Sula feel of heroic sympathy, and even he felt that the situation of the two of them was exactly the same.

Next, Su Wu continued to talk about how Huo Guang built Hexi and conquered the Western Regions, and Su La still listened carefully, nodding or showing a thoughtful look from time to time. When Su Wu basically finished speaking, it was already late at night, and finally Sula was still unsatisfied and ordered someone to arrange for Su Wu and his party to rest.

Because Su La has accepted Huo Guang from the heart, he is naturally courteous to Su Wu's party, and so far the effect of Su Wu's mission is still very good, which also makes Su Wu's heart slightly relaxed.

When Su Wu and the others left, Sula did not rest, as a provincial governor, he had a corps commander with tens of thousands of troops, and Sula also had a group of confidant generals and advisers. At this moment, Sulla is deliberating with these henchmen about how to deal with the threat from the capital city of Rome.

"Your Excellency the Governor, Marius and Chinner have united, and they are trying to remove your rights and strip you of your military power." One of the young generals under Sulla bowed his head and said that Rome was still in the Republic period at this time, and all power came from the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly. And this Marius and Chinner have already mastered the Citizens' Assembly, and even under their operation, they can bypass the Senate and directly deprive Sulla of the governorship and military power.

Under the republican system, Rome seemed to have such a legal constraint that once the citizens' assembly passed, Sulla would have to surrender his military power and even face exile. And all the institutions and moral constraints that have been formed in Rome have made it impossible for the Roman army to wage war internally, and even a legion commander like Sulla cannot lead the army back to Rome to eliminate dissidents, and neither Sulla nor his followers have ever had such thoughts.

"Now that we have guests from the East, why don't we ask these guests from the East and see how they will deal with such a situation with the wisdom of the East?" Sula was also depressed in his heart, he had long been moved by Huo Guang's proposal, but now that there was a fire in his backyard here, he was already too busy to take care of himself!

On the second day, Sula personally visited Su Wu early, which made Su Wu a little flattered. And Sula doesn't like to beat around the bush, as soon as he saw Su Wu, he directly explained his intentions, and then briefly explained his situation and the situation of his political opponent Marochinna.

"I would also like to cooperate with your Grand Governor, but I am too busy to take care of myself. I'm curious, if your Grand Governor were in such a situation, how would he choose and how he would do it? Sulla wondered how the people of the East would deal with the situation he encountered, or how a commander who was thousands of miles away and had a similar experience and situation would choose.
