The war in the southwest of the Han Empire, under the command of Wang Yuanyou, was like a bamboo, first the Qiong State was destroyed, and then the Di State only lasted a few days before it was completely captured. On the other hand, the contemporary Dian King Zhuang Qi still respected the Han Dynasty as the suzerain, and at the same time sent troops to exterminate the small barbarian countries on the Silk Tea Ancient Road. For a time, the entire southwest was full of wars, and one by one the weak barbarians completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Su Wu redefined the southwest territory as the Great Han Dynasty, part of which was incorporated into Shu County, part of which was placed under the jurisdiction of Dian State, and a new part of Yueshan County, together with Shu County and Dian State, became another border county under the direct jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, a large number of caravans of the Zhuo family were also sent to find the place called Hyderabad. The caravan was accompanied by a contingent of dozens of men, whose target was not poison, but more distant Rome. After a lapse of two years, Su Wu again sent envoys to Rome.

In the distant province of Asia Minor, without the restraint of the Sabbatarian Empire, Sulla, the great commander of Rome, also gained the upper hand in the war with Mithridates VI. The province of Asia Minor had once again returned to Sulla's control, and his legions were advancing northward, defeating Mithridates VI.

"Your Excellency, the King of Pontus has sent a messenger to make peace with Your Excellency!" Caesar, Sula's lieutenant, said respectfully beside him. Today's Caesar has grown into a handsome young man, and with the baptism of war in the past few years, he has both heroic spirit. This young Roman youth is now an important figure under Sulla, and an important figure in the entire Roman Republic.

"Since the capital country is no longer to worry, then it is time for me to go back to Rome, in the words of the Orientals, 'the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and the hatred of gnashing teeth should be redoubled', I should really listen to Su Wu's opinion back then" Sula slowly stood up from the throne, his eyes looking in the direction of Rome.

More than half a year earlier, Sulla's political rivals, Marius and Chinna, had returned to Rome, and the two men had made a coup d'état, regained control of Rome, and unilaterally dismissed Sulla from all positions. However, at that time, Sulla did not care about this, and continued to lead his army to fight against the kingdom of Pontus, and these loyal supporters of Sulla did not turn their backs on their commander Sulla because of the Roman coup.

"Your Excellency is going back to Rome again? This time you really want to do the so-called weeding and eradication like the Orientals? Caesar looked at Sulla with some fear, he was also a supporter of Sulla, and he also knew that Marius, who relied only on intrigue and subterfuge, was no match for Sulla, who had a heavy army.

It's just that the values that go deep into the soul, in Caesar's heart, still can't agree with the Oriental practice of cutting grass and eradicating roots.

Su Wu once clearly advised Sulla that he must cut down the grass and eradicate political enemies like Marius at that time, and at that time, Sulla also had the deep-rooted ideas of the Romans, and in their eyes, the most he exiled the enemy, which not only showed his benevolence, but also the influence of Western culture deep into the soul.

However, this time Sula changed his way of choosing the same method as Huo Guang, and his enemies and all those related to the enemy would completely disappear from this world

"I'm going to go on a crusade as soon as possible, and I don't have much time to deal with these clowns. Caesar: Our stage should be the whole world, not the endless entanglement on this Mediterranean coast. Sura opened her arms as if to take the whole world into her arms.

Young Caesar looked at the high-spirited Sura, and for the first time he had a more ambitious ideal in his heart, and he felt that his life should be like the man in front of him, to be a conqueror of the world. What kind of example shapes what kind of character, and Sulla is the example of young Caesar!

"Then, can my Caesar Wu hand over the Northern Front to you with peace of mind, and the negotiations with the capital country will be at your disposal." Sula withdrew her arms, looked at Caesar with a serious expression, and asked word by word.

Caesar also became solemn when he heard this, and then bowed respectfully to Sula, knelt down on one knee at Sula's side, bowed his head and said solemnly: "Caesar will be your most loyal follower, and your will will will be carried out most perfectly!" ”

The way Westerners speak is very different from the East, but Caesar's meaning is already obvious. Sulla is like his life coach, and the two may have differed in their attitudes towards political opponents, but Caesar is undoubtedly loyal to him.

"There are two bottom lines, first, the army of the capital must retreat beyond the original border. Second, all the fleets of the capital must belong to us. If Mithridates does not agree to these two terms, you will continue to attack them until he accepts them, or destroy him completely! Sulla turned to look at Caesar on his knees, and he drew his short sword from his waist. He placed the blade flat on Caesar's shoulder and said to Caesar as if he were reading the will of the gods.

"Caesar will obey your will!" Caesar bowed his head heavily, and when he looked up again, he saw only Sulla's back as he walked out of the palace.

Sulla once again set out on his journey back to Rome, still with his most elite legion and large fleet. This is a truly baptized army of blood and fire.

When Sulla returned to Rome, it was already a year after he had been dismissed, meaning that Marius and China had been in control of the city for a year. Perhaps because of the experience of the first Sulla counterattack on Rome, this time Qin Na prepared nearly 50,000 soldiers in Rome in advance. And Sura's old boss, his mentor in the first half of his life, and his political enemy in the second half of his life, Marius, had died a few months ago.

This time, Chinna was also prepared, and Sulla was not able to take the city of Rome as easily as the last time. But his legion is the real elite, while Qin Na's tens of thousands of soldiers are improvised patchwork, and the gap between the two sides in terms of morale and soldier quality is too great. It was a war that was doomed, and three days later the city of Rome fell again, once again in the hands of Sulla.

This time, however, the entire city of Rome was stained with blood, and the nobles who supported him initially thought that Sulla would still exile them as he had done the last time. However, the moment Sulla stepped into the city of Rome, he was faced with a butcher's knife raised high in the face of Qin Na and other nobles.

This time, Sulla did not hesitate to put Qin Na and the nobles who followed him to death, along with their families, wives and children, and even the servants of the palace. Even the deceased Marius, as long as he was close to him, did not escape Sulla's purge. The massacre in Rome lasted for a day and a night, killing more than 700 nobles and implicating more than 10,000 people.

The city of Rome has become a hellish city of terror, and Sulla has become the most terrifying demon king in the world.

Sulla looked at the piles of corpses at his feet, and the trickle of blood flowing through every corner of the city of Rome, and his mood was unwavering.

In the Senate, all the Roman nobles prostrate at the feet of Sulla, who is now the uncrowned king of the republic.

"From this day on, I am the dictator for life" Sulla stood like a god at the top of the Senate, his voice proclaiming his supremacy to the whole city of Rome.

Soon after Sulla had purged Rome, Caesar had good news of him. King Mithridates VI of Pontus fully agreed to Sulla's two conditions, and led the remnants of his defeated army to retreat beyond the original borders, and all the Pontic fleets that had entered the Mediterranean were handed over to Sulla's legions as compensation for the war.

Half a year later, Sulla reorganized the legion again, led 100,000 elite legions, and began the road he had been looking forward to for a lifetime
