Chapter 448: The First Face (11)

The Carthaginians looted the city of Rome, and every minute, there was a change in Nenton, and because the P001 plane was completely closed, the accumulated Nenton would eventually be converted into a huge amount of energy, and then forcibly open a plane channel.

As for the other end of the passage, don't care too much, countless planes and countless space-time constitute countless possible 'sex', but they will never reach another closed plane, so as long as they leave P001, Huang Xuan and Mr. Comas can naturally leave through their own plane base.

However, the accumulation of 210,000 tons is obviously not enough.

Hannibal's ambition to take the city of Rome was almost a victory for Carthage, and with this victory, he was almost able to take it, both in Rome and Carthage. However, seeing Huang Xuan coming over by Shi Shiran, Hannibal felt a little uncomfortable.

An invincible commander, the most hated is an invincible enemy, not a powerful enemy.

Huang Xuan looked at Hannibal's beautiful face jealously, this guy has a tendency to be Beckham, even if he doesn't look like it at all, but his figure and face are inevitably reminiscent of other side hustles.

"Mr. Hannibal." Huang Xuan still called it with a smile.

At the same time, Nick translated it into ancient Carthaginian, and Hannibal came over with the reins and said with a smile: "Huang Xuan, this time you have given Carthage great help, and you will be Carthage's friend forever." ”

Huang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I also like a powerful friend like Carthage. ”

If it was Mr. Comas, I am afraid that he would have said his request bluntly at this moment, and a non-academic traveler like Huang Xuan would waste time talking to the aborigines.

Hannibal also smiled when he heard the so-called "powerful" in Huang Xuan's words, and said, "I have sent someone to search the homes of the elders, and in some time, I can give you the remaining 3,000 talants." ”

"There's no hurry." Huang Xuanxuan said insincerely: "Are you going to wipe out the upper echelons of Rome, or do you want to support some people?" ”

"It's not certain yet." Hannibal seems reluctant to talk to Huang about this.

A smile flashed across the corner of Huang Xuan's mouth, and said, "It's better to decide quickly, Cyrus will bring the army back in two days at most." ”

"What?" Hannibal's eyes were almost round, and there was a huge difference between returning with a large army and Carthage's voluntary evacuation of Rome.

"According to our agreement, you should evacuate at that time." Huang Xuan said that, and rode away. Leaving behind a puzzled and angry Hannibal.

Cyrus would return to Rome with his legions as a Roman officer, of course, with the reputation of expelling the Carthaginians, and then, like Marius, he would be able to try to run for dictatorship or consul as a non-nobleman, and with the only Roman legion he had in his hands, and thousands of tarrants, he could do whatever he wanted in this Roman city that was looking forward to victory and revenge.

Hannibal watched in surprise as Huang Xuan slowly walked away, but he was still a sober and knowledgeable politician and military strategist, and after Huang Xuan said all his demands, Hannibal understood Huang Xuan's plan.

Just as Cyrus said to Huang Xuan that day, a Rome without an alliance could not fight against Carthage. And for Huang Xuan, he doesn't need a Carthage who can fight against Rome, a defeated Rome and a Carthage that does not win, which may get more Nengton.

That evening, Hannibal's order was given.

Countless Roman aristocratic families were uprooted, young people were mostly sold into slavery, and mercenaries from Africa and southern Europe looked forward to the day when they could plunder and dominate as they wanted......

Huang Xuan stood in the courtyard of a house in the center of Rome, listening to the shouts outside the courtyard, his face sinking like water.

Mr. Comas handed him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Wine, the Romans like to drink the most." ”

Huang Xuan said "thank you", then took it, looked up at the sky, and fell silent again.

Looking at Huang Xuan's appearance, Comas took a sip of wine, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "My first successful trip was in R130, that time, it was to search for mercenaries, and we had a total of 27 travelers. ”

As if talking to himself, Mr. Comas said slowly: "You know, you can catch mercenaries by yourself, the speed is very slow, they will run into the mountains, dozens of hundreds of people in a group, let you waste energy, that time, our team leader went to find the two largest local chiefs." We gave the chief cow and sheep and asked him to exchange slaves, one sheep for two slaves, and later it was raised to one, and one cow could be exchanged for five slaves, and we used fast-growing sheep and fast-growing oxen, and at that time, a total of more than 20,000 slaves were exchanged. ”

Huang Xuan tilted his head and glanced at Mr. Comas, not knowing why he said this.

Mr. Comas drank the wine in one gulp, shook his head and said with a smile: "Later I learned that in order to catch those slaves, the two tribes fought each other, and more than a hundred thousand people died, almost half of the entire tribe. ”

Huang Xuan squeezed out a smile and said, "There may be more than 100,000 deaths here today." ”

"If Hannibal was like you say, it wouldn't." Mr. Comas said and threw the cup out of the yard, and said with a smile: "The plane that is qualified to participate in the resource allocation will not be allocated as a resource, and the threshold for qualification is constantly rising, without resources, you can only be treated as a resource." ”

Huang Xuan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't want to think about these questions, and instead said with Ai Ai: "Why won't Hannibal." ”

"The eagle that is released must not eat too much, otherwise it will be too lazy to hunt; The eagle that was released must not be too hungry, or it will never come back. Mr. Comas said an R-plane proverb, which Nick carefully translated.

At midnight, the city of Rome really fell silent.

Carthage fought half-truths with the returning Roman soldiers, Huang Xuan sat in the house in Rome, looking at the Carthaginian soldiers on the energy screen, and Hannibal's arrangement, he absolutely believed that if Cyrus "revealed" a little mentally retarded tendency, Hannibal would not hesitate to annihilate this army again.

Fortunately, Cyrus is also an experienced old ginger.

In the evening of the same day, Carthage slowly left behind the crumbling walls with their slaves and booty, and the history has a great habit, and they will stay in Italy for a long time in the future, and continue to bully the children of the Roman League.

And Cyrus, sitting on a tall horse, slowly drove into the city of Rome.

No flowers, no applause, only the numb inhabitants of Rome remained.

Seeing this scene, Huang Xuan was extremely uncomfortable - what made him really uncomfortable was that it reminded him of Mr. Comas's words, the plane that is not qualified to allocate resources can only be allocated as resources. The current P112 may still be an undeveloped virgin band, but who knows, one day a man will come.

Cyrus led his Roman soldiers with loud shouts and slogans that Huang Xuan could not hear, as if they were still in the prisoner camp.

Huang Xuan turned around and glanced at the courtyard, where there were 3,500 talantes of gold, almost 100 tons. Even Huang Xuan saw so much "present" gold for the first time, but he was still a little disappointed, 100 tons of gold was only more than 5 cubic meters, which was too little. Of course, in terms of wealth, it was enormous, and without Huang Xuan's participation, this time the Punic War ended, and Carthage could barely scrape together 10,000 tarrants for Rome.

"23 Magnum." Mr. Comas stood behind Huang Xuan and said, "If Cyrus can become an archon as he wishes, we should be able to scrape together 250,000 dons, which is almost enough." ”

Huang Xuan said abruptly: "Hannibal's trip should still cause the loss of Nengton, plus the subsequent loss of Nengton, we will stay for another month, it should be enough." ”

"There are already signs of loosening in the plane channel, it's really not good, we are going all out to output energy, plus the accumulation of these energy tons, it should be enough."

As the two men were talking, there was a loud shout in the city—it was Cyrus giving a speech.

The Romans embraced Greek culture in its entirety, including their oratorical culture, which Cyrus was not good at, but when what he said could stimulate the Romans, the interest of the masses was stirred.

Huang Xuan opened the energy screen and re-released Cyrus's speech, and saw that his first sentence was: "We still have more than 100,000 soldiers overseas in Rome......

In the city of Rome, which had reduced one-third of its population, there was nothing more powerful than the desire for revenge. Cyrus immediately captured the psychology of the Romans.

As if he had expected it, Mr. Comas said, "He's good at it." "He's Cyrus, of course.

Huang Xuan silently returned to the house, he can still contact his home and other planes, according to the time exchange, he has been away for 4 days, plus the 3 days and 7 days of waiting for Cyrus's election, it is necessary to sort out the affairs well.

Mr. Comas returned to the room, his face was fine, but if you looked at it, he also had a lot of worry on his face. As soon as he obtained the rights to the R series plane, he left suddenly, and it is not surprising that something went wrong.

……

The power of the Roman consuls was so great that they could be compared to dictatorial monarchs, and the Romans certainly saw this. They chose two consuls and limited their term of office to one year, effectively extending the life of the republic.

However, the historical Rome was a victorious Rome, and they almost never encountered a real enemy, not Macedonia, not Carthage, not Egypt, and the enemy of Rome was always the Romans themselves, and the dispute between the imperial and the republican system was the mainstream.

The Romans have always been clever in their choice of consuls – most of them are smart, they elect two consuls a year, two good consuls, both nobles, and the aristocracy is so keen on politics that they don't go to cinema, they don't play golf, they don't run companies, they don't play teams, they don't have teams, so the Romans have so many choices.

Originally, the junior officers whose comrades-in-arms died played by Cyrus should have no chance, and it would be nice that they were not "deprived of political rights for life" because of their captives.

But in the face of life and death, the choice of the Romans suddenly narrowed, and Huang Xuan deliberately dealt with some prestigious politicians, Rome in ruins naturally tended to be a "petty officer" who held the military power of 30,000 people, and he was able to give a sense of security to Rome, which had lost a lot of wealth and population. Under the deterrence of the army, the newly elected Senate also failed to show the strength to fight. They lost their last chance.

With an asset of 3,500 tarrants, the city of Rome was immediately rebuilt smoothly - Rome has always had a tradition of nobles giving money to subsidize citizens and finances, and it intensified in the time of Caesar - interestingly, people rarely ask where the money of the consuls came from, and usually, such as the Caesars, regarded the private treasury as the treasury, and the treasury as the private treasury. Although Cyrus did not understand the propaganda policy of later generations, he still understood the direction of controlling public opinion and using money to propagandize.

Soon, Roman soldiers, including those recalled from overseas, were dressed up as the backbone of Roman society, and the so-called defeated or fugitives were forgotten by the choice of "sex".

Republican Rome, inadvertently, stood at the crossroads of tyrant politics and democratic politics.

As soon as Huang Xuan finished his daily conversation with Jiao Sun, Li Shenggang and others, and tasted the taste of video conference, Mr. Comas walked in and said, "Cyrus has been elected." ”

"Now?" As soon as Huang Xuan asked a question, he heard a mountain shout from outside the house.

"252,000 Magniton has accumulated." Mr. Comas said quietly.

Huang Xuan also became nervous, and both of them sat in the room, waiting for the moment when the plane passage could not stand the huge loss of Nengdun and was forcibly penetrated.
