Su Wu understood it, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of the Roman political system. It turned out that Sulla represented the old aristocratic power such as the Senate, while Marius and Zenna represented the emerging civilian forces such as the Citizens' Assembly. In fact, in the final analysis, it is a contest between emerging forces and established forces.

It's just that at present, Marius and they occupy the position of righteousness, and at the same time control the capital and power institutions of the country, while Sulla is more passive in all aspects.

Su Wu also weighed it in his heart for a while, he actually didn't know what Huo Guang would do if he encountered this situation. Instead of letting Su Wu guess what Huo Guang would do, it would be better to ask Su Wu directly what he would do?

"There are two questions that the Minister would like to ask His Excellency the Governor." It took Su Wu a long time before he said to Sulla.

"Please," Sulla said.

"The first question is, are the soldiers under His Excellency the Governor loyal to you? If an order from Rome, the capital of your country, and an order from you, the governor, appear at the same time, whose order will they carry out first? Su Wu asked the first question, and this first question alone directly addressed the problem that Sura was most unwilling to face.

When the interpreter told Sura about Su Wu's problem, the young commander's face was visibly struggling. In the words of the Han Chinese, Su Wu's problem was to punish the heart, especially in Rome, which was still in the republican period.

"It's ....... Seventy percent of the soldiers will be the first to carry out my orders! Sura was silent for a long time, and he could naturally understand the implicit meaning of Su Wu's words. Sulla had a high prestige in Rome due to his outstanding ability and charisma, and he had been in command of the Eastern Legion for several years, and although he did not dare to say that the entire Eastern Legion could obey his orders, at least seventy percent of the soldiers would choose to be loyal to him without hesitation.

"Then the minister will ask the second question!" Su Wu could see that Sula was still struggling and hesitating in his heart. However, Su Wu understood that his purpose was to contact Sulla, and finally achieve the goal of Sulla's alliance with Huo Guang to deal with the Sabbath Empire. To achieve this, it was necessary to ensure that Sulla had the dominant position in Rome.

"Your Excellency the Governor thinks that a country without an absolute leader can really come together? And your Excellency the Doge, who are you loyal to the nobles of the capital, Rome? Or is it loyal to the country? Su Wu threw out the last question. In this country where there is no monarch and no loyalty to the monarch, in fact, the cohesion is very poor, and Su Wu has already discovered this problem, he feels that maybe now is a good opportunity, rather than let a Western governor form an alliance with the Han to attack the Anxi Empire, it is better to let Sulla become the leader of this country, and Sulla already has all the conditions to become the leader of this country.

"You want me to take my troops back to Rome? Maybe you're right..... Rome should have a real leader! After a long time, Sulla asked with a gloomy face, his own army attacked the capital Rome, this is something that has never happened in history, Sulla does not know how likely this is to happen in the distant Eastern Han Dynasty, but he has accepted Su Wu's suggestion in his heart.

"My Oriental guest, would you be interested in seeing the majestic Rome?" Sura suddenly said to Su Wu with a smile on her face, her eyes as cunning as foxes.

"It is an honor, Your Excellency the Governor!" Su Wu bent down and saluted Sulla, he knew that he had to go to this Rome. Either help Sulla succeed in taking control of Rome, or die with Sulla in this foreign land.

In the next few days, Su Wu and his entourage lived a rare period of stability in Pergamon, the capital of Asia Minor, and this exotic city-state also attracted Su Wu and others, making them excited for half a month. However, in the past half a month, a purge began in the legions under Sulla, many soldiers and generals were secretly executed, and some soldiers were sent to the frontline of the battlefield.

When Sulla's legions suddenly assembled in the port west of Pergamon half a month later, Sulla also returned the weapons that had been kept by the Roman legions to Su Wu, and then Su Wu took more than 300 elite guards and set foot on the battleship bound for Rome with Sulla.

It was a wooden warship with huge sails and huge oars, and there were hundreds of such warships in the entire fleet. When the fleet left the port of Pergamon and Su Wu saw the map of Rome, he understood why this powerful country had only infantry and no cavalry. Originally, the whole of Rome was a powerful country surrounded by the Mediterranean, consisting of many islands, peninsulas, and land along the coastline.

Horses are not produced here, and cavalry is useless, but the real symbol of strength is these huge warships that ride the waves, and with a strong enough fleet, there is capital to establish a foothold in the Mediterranean.

Because of geographical factors and political system reasons. Unhindered, Sulla's fleet came across the majestic city of Rome a few days later. Unlike the Han Dynasty, where the march was not like the Han Dynasty, which had to cross a number of passes and counties, most of the cities only needed a fleet to set sail, and the troops could soon be under the city.

When Sulla's fleet appeared outside Rome, his political rival was also his former boss Marcellius, who discovered that Sulla had besieged Rome with his legions.

Because of the form of government and the fact that no army had ever attacked Rome, the whole city of Rome was unusually poorly defended. In a hurry, Marius could only arm the slaves into an army, and the original Roman guards were able to raise an army of 3,000 men. But how could this stop the siege of Sulla's tens of thousands of troops?

Su Wu stood beside Sula and looked at the majestic Roman city, a huge city that was completely different from the style of the Han Dynasty, the overall tone was white, and the architectural form was mostly circular or domed.

"My soldiers have already begun to siege the city, and as a commander-in-chief I have no reason to hide behind them. Then friends of the East, I am waiting for you in the city of Rome. Sula also changed into a metal armor, and after saying a few words to Su Wu, he joined the siege with the guards.

Seeing that this young man who was like a lion actually rushed to kill with a big sword in his hand, Su Wu really realized why this young commander was called 'half lion and half fox'. The difference between Eastern and Western cultures made Su Wu believe that a qualified commander should not personally go into battle to kill the enemy unless he had to. But under the personal charge of Sulla, the combat strength of his legion simply soared in a straight line, and it didn't take long for Sulla's close attendants to come and invite Su Wu into the city.

Walking into the city of Rome, there was no killing and bloodshed as Su Wu imagined. It seems that the Roman defenders knew they could not fight Sulla, and after the initial resistance, most of the defenders chose to surrender. And Sulla did not take any revenge on these surrenderers, and even Su Wu heard that even Sulla's political enemies Marius and Qin Na were still alive and well.

When Sulla took control of the city of Rome, the first thing he did was to summon Su Wu.

"I will have the Senate appoint me consul, and in less than three years I will begin the crusade with the strength of the nation. When the time comes, please ask Hou Huoguang of Anyang to echo me on the east line of rest. Sula found Su Wu and looked very excited and happy. He was the first to seize power by force in the Roman Republic, and even became the de facto head of Rome.

"The Governor will be happy with the Governor's decision, and you and the Governor will become the closest comrades-in-arms!" Su Wu is worthy of being a natural diplomatic talent, in just over a month, he has mastered some simple Roman language, and now even without a translator accompanying him, Su Wu can barely communicate directly with Sulla.

"This is an extremely precious ruby, friend of the East, please give him as a gift to my closest comrade-in-arms, Hou Huoguang of Anyang." Sula took a cork box from the waiter behind her, and opened it to reveal a crystal clear ruby the size of an egg, reflecting the dazzling brilliance. Sula gave Huo Guang this largest and most beautiful ruby from the Mediterranean Sea as a gift.

"The Grand Governor will love this treasure very much." Su Wu bowed down to take the ruby and said words of thanks in his mouth.

"But the foreign minister has something unclear, and I ask Your Excellency the Archon to listen to me!" Su Wu put the priceless ruby away and spoke directly to Sula in his Roman language, which he was not fluent in.

"Wu ...... Please say something. Sula said politely that he had learned a lot of different things from Su Wu and had a clearer understanding of the world.

Su Wu arched his hand at Sura and then said solemnly: "There is a saying in our country, which is called 'If you fight a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it'. Wu didn't know what His Excellency the Archon was going to do, but if it were in our country, Marius and Qin Na would have to be executed, and even their families, as well as those loyal to them, could not stay. If it were the Grand Duke, he would do the same, so please consider it carefully......."

Su Wu had learned that Sulla had no intention of executing Marius and Qinna, and that he had only banished them from Rome in the end, and that the nobles who followed Marius had not been punished in any way. Su Wu couldn't understand this in any way, and as Huo Guang's ally in the West, Su Wu felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to dissuade Sura from doing such stupid things before leaving.

Yes, in Su Wu's opinion, this young commander, who is known as half lion and half fox, is doing an extremely stupid thing. He had the courage to attack the capital of his country with his legions, and he was not afraid of gossip and forced the Senate to appoint him as consul by force. But the traditional ideas in his blood made him let his political enemies leave. From the perspective of an Oriental, Su La's doing this is tantamount to burying a bitter fruit for himself, and if he really does this, he will one day reap the consequences!

"Thank you very much for the reminder, but this is Rome, and this is already under my control!" Sulla replied with some domineering, in his opinion, Marius and Qinna were already old beasts with teeth pulled out and claws cut off, and in Rome Sulla was confident that he was in control.

"Now that Your Excellency the Consul has made up my mind, I will say no more. Wu looks forward to meeting with His Excellency the Archon in the near future on the land of rest! Su Wu bowed for a long time, as a foreign minister, he could only say this, and then made a final farewell to Sula.

When Su Wu left Rome and embarked on the long journey back. Sulla also began his dictatorial rule in the republic, and in the years following Suvu's departure, Sulla began to reorganize his army, a large 130,000-strong crusade army was established under Sulla's leadership, and his former political enemies Marius and Chinna were exiled to the westernmost point of Rome.

When Sulla began his ambitious and high-spirited war to expand his armaments, it was discovered that a teenage child began to appear next to Sulla, who was said to be a descendant of Sulla's opponents, but this child, who was originally only Sulla's attendant, was gradually appreciated by Sulla in the following years, and slowly became Sulla's most relied on assistant. And his name was Gaius. Julius. Caesar.
