"Messenger from Egypt, Armenian, priest of Macedonia."

Gongsun Hong crossed his fingers and counted carefully: "There are also some tribes north of Parthia. Including our Han envoys are also on their way here. ”

The old man took a step forward after speaking, and looked at it with a smile: "The national fortunes of our Han are constantly rising, and I, Dong Zhongshu, Daozun and several others have vaguely felt the door of the half-saint.

But feeling and actually getting into that realm are two different things. ”

"Nineteen-year-old soldier and half-saint, I have been in Shenzhou for thousands of years, and generations of outstanding people have shined in history, but Huo Hou you are also the only one among them...... Even if there are hundreds of princes, there are not many who have reached the half-saint. ”

Several other people looked at Huo Quai, and their eyes became more and more envious and reverent.

The champion Hou, who is less than 20 years old, has stepped into the mythical level of a soldier and a half-saint, illuminating the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty and leaving his name in history.

"Master Hou has broken through the semi-saint in the past few days, the world has changed, and my Han army and the people of the Han Dynasty have benefited a lot.

The news from Chang'an said that His Majesty had added a holy decree to confer the title in addition to the holy decree of the king, which was urgent for thousands of miles and was on the way to come. ”

Gongsun Hong continued: "Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and I should change my words to Hou Ye and call him king in the future." You break through the miracle of the semi-saint, the whole world sees it, everyone feels it, and the surrounding countries regard it as a miracle, so all parties move when they hear the wind.

Of course, there may also be spies from the Romans, such as the Egyptian envoys.

They sent the news in advance asking for a meeting, and the people were still on their way.

Among the families, Macedonia came to ask for reinforcements, and the earliest people came in the city. ”

Just after the afternoon, the sun was just right.

"What did the Romans do when they took possession of Antiochus, the capital of the Seleuces?"

The group walked towards the main hall, and Huo asked while walking.

"Their soldiers and horses advanced four hundred miles east from Antioch, captured four Seleu cities in succession, formed a fan-surface defensive line, and then arranged with Antiochus as the core of the defensive line, but did not continue to advance eastward." Su Jiandao.

Everyone returned to the front hall, and after Huo Quzhi sat down, he glanced at the marching map spread out on the low seat.

There are dense annotations on the map.

Huo Quai's retreat broke through the half-saint, Su Jian and Gongsun He were afraid of leaks, and the main thing was to be diligent and make up for the shortcomings, and repeatedly deduce the marching route of the enemy and us on the marching map.

"The Romans occupied Antioch and did not continue eastward, which is prudent."

Seleuc's borders on Parthia, Armenia, and Macedonia are also bordered.

Macedonia and Armenia, one south and one north, sandwiched the Seleuces in between.

And Seleuc continued to the east, which was Parthia.

The Romans' acquisition of the Seleuces was tantamount to opening the way to the east, which had both advantages and disadvantages for them.

They could attack the Macedonian flank in the south, and attack Armenia by interspersing diagonally to the northeast.

Seleucus was in the land of four battles, and it was a place of contention, and he could use troops flexibly.

But at the same time, if Armenia, Han and Macedonia jointly raise troops, they can surround the Seleucians and make them vulnerable on three sides.

Therefore, the Romans did not settle Macedonia for a day, and did not dare to advance eastward for a day. Otherwise, if a single army and horses were killed from Macedonia, they could cut off their rear and outflank the Romans who continued to advance eastward, leaving them in a dilemma.

Therefore, Rome defeated the Seleuces and did not continue to advance eastward, but had to stabilize first.

They needed to capture Macedonia in order to maintain a balance of power with the Han army and not suffer a loss in the geography of the war.

The Macedonians also saw the key and were afraid that Rome would fight them with all their might, so they couldn't wait to let Huo Quai's troops help.

As an envoy, Avti came day and night to ask for help.

"Go and call the Macedonian envoys in." Huo Quzhi commanded.

Aphti was waiting outside the palace.

She was accompanied by Memnon Lodi, the pearl of Macedonia.

Let two of the most beautiful women of Macedonia come together, Perseus, the lord of Macedonia, obviously knows the truth that men and women are easy to do.

Avti, who was cold and elegant, stood outside the palace with a calm expression.

The sun fell on her, and even the shadows on the ground were undulating and vivid.

Beside her, Lodi tied up her long, romantic blonde hair with a crown of jewels, and a wide white silver envelope tied around her willow waist.

Under the slender and fair neck, the round neckline is slightly open, revealing a delicate collarbone with a shoulder socket.

Hearing the summons of the soldiers and let them in, Lodi was a little nervous.

Before she came, Perseus IV personally spoke to her, including Avti, and told them that this trip was very important, and that they should use all means to ask the Han army to send troops.

It is about the lives of millions of Macedonians, and even the rise and fall of the country's fortunes.

As for what exactly is meant by exhausting all means, sending the two of them together is already very revealing in itself.

Luo Di took a deep breath, patted the peaks and mountains, and lowered his head to his chest, which would obstruct his vision, and followed his soldiers into the palace.

"This is Ctesiphon's earthly shrine?"

Lodi looked at the Parthian palace, with its white towering stone columns and imposing court buildings.

The capital of Parthia used to be Nisa, but Ctesiphon's earthly temple, famous in the Mediterranean, is known as the abode of gods on earth.

After the Parthians moved their capital to Ctesiphon, Mithridates moved into the shrine.

It is hard to imagine that with Parthia's national strength and military strength, this majestic royal city in front of him was actually broken by the Han army in one night.

"Avti, are you nervous?" Lodi asked in a whisper.

Avti hummed softly, noncommittal.

As they spoke, they passed through the extravagant corridor paved with pale blue gemstones, and the two entered the palace hall through the main entrance.

On the throne at the end of the hall, there sat Huo Quai, who was dressed in military uniform, silver armor and red robes.

Behind him is Bai Nanyu, who is dressed in light armor and is charming.

The lower heads on the left and right sides are Su Jian, Gongsun Hong and other civil and military forces.

Lodi, Avti, under the guidance of her own soldiers, stepped forward to salute.

Huo Quzhi said bluntly: "You want to come and ask my Han army to send troops? ”

"Honorable Commander."

Avti spoke in Chinese and bowed again.

This time, she used the ancient salute of kneeling on one knee and touching her chest with her right hand.

It was not easy to get the proud priestess to perform the rituals, especially if she had a clear faith.

"On the way we came, we sensed and saw the vision of heaven and earth brought by you as the commander broke through the rank, and the range of thousands of miles was covered by your divine power.

As a priest who serves the gods, I also feel the fluctuations in the power that you spread during your cultivation, and even the stars will be affected by you.

The depth of your divine power is amazing, even Alexander the Great, at your age, is not as far as you have been on the throne.

Unbelievable, you're a living demigod! ”

The names of the gods in Western countries, such as demigods, and gods who have entered the world, correspond to the demi-saints of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty Perseus IV, let me bring my most sincere and reverent greetings."

Avti's voice was clear, and she said eloquently: "Your Majesty said that he is willing to follow the commander's previous advice, and it is an honor to become a vassal of a demigod. I hope you can assign an invincible army to help us defeat our arch-rivals, the Romans.

For this reason, we are willing to sacrifice everything for you to become a vassal of the Great Han, provided that you can maintain self-control.

The lord also asked me to bring two gifts for the commander-in-chief. ”

In terms of being an envoy, Aphti did a very bad job, but at the same time she was very good.

It's bad because no envoy exposes his bottom as soon as he comes up, doesn't leave any hole cards, and makes his intentions and minimum demands all clear, leaving no room for bargaining at all.

It's so stupid that it makes you blush.

But she did well because she showed a frank enough attitude as soon as she came up, putting herself on the weak side and letting others slaughter her.

Because she's a god, she knows exactly what it means to play tricks in front of a demigod.

She was stupid and clever to put out the hole cards, and waited for Huo to get sick and get her wool, and she didn't bargain casually.

Huo Quzhi smiled dumbly: "You are very smart." ”

Then he instructed his own soldiers:

"Go and give an order to Zhang Cigong, who is leading the troops outside, and let him move from the northwest of Parthia, the border in the southwest corner of Armenia to the west, and press the troops and horses forward."

Everyone looked thoughtful when they heard this.

After a while, several people reacted one after another.

Avti said happily: "Thank you for your help, commander. ”

Luo Di, who couldn't understand Chinese, had a puzzled face, not knowing what they were talking about, so Afuti explained to her what they had just said, and said, "The Han army sent troops from Armenia to the west.

Rome's troops and horses on the front line of Antioch, if they dare to attack our Macedonia, then the position of the Han army can go south, hit the rear of the Roman army, and let them suffer the enemy in both directions. ”

Luo Di suddenly realized that the slightest movement of the Han army could greatly reduce the Roman threat to Macedonia.

Lodi peeked at Huo Quai.

This is actually a legendary god who entered the world......

"Will the commander send troops to help me Macedonia fight against Rome?" Afuti asked.

Huo Quai: "I sent troops to suppress Rome from the northern front, so that they did not dare to attack Macedonia in the south, which is to fulfill our covenant."

Macedonia has been fighting against Rome for many years, and this time I have lent you twelve temple pillars to strengthen our defenses.

If you can't withstand the Romans' offensive and are defeated by them in a short time, then what use do I want allies like yours to have? ”

Avti's face turned pale.

Huo Qu's words hit the nail on the head and the meaning was clear.

It's that Macedonia still has the strength to spare, but it wants to use the Han army's troops to save consumption for itself and deal with Rome, but there is no door.

Now is the time for Macedonia to work hard, work for the big man, and show its own value.

If they don't show their due value, Huo Qubing will sit back and watch Macedonia be killed by the Romans, and then take over the battle himself, instead of sending troops to help the war now, so that the Macedonians can save consumption.

Who works for whom has to be figured out.

"If nothing else, you can go back and convey my intention to Perseus IV."

"We can send the news back through the Book of Divine Dependents, and the lord of the kingdom says that after we come to visit, we can stay with the commander and serve, if ...... If the commander-in-chief wishes. ”

Avti's voice fell, and suddenly he felt that a gaze fell on him, it was the beautiful and excessive Han woman beside Huo Quai.

Bai Nanyu looked at the two Western women and thought: It seems that I have to find an opportunity to let Qingke pass the word to Her Royal Highness the princess, these Westerners want to charm the Hou Ye with their beauty. There is no reason for Her Royal Highness the princess to guard against me every day, but let them approach the Hou Ye plainly.

Bai Yushui felt that he had no name and no points, and it was not convenient to go directly to the scene and be jealous, so he immediately thought of borrowing a knife to kill people, and asked Her Royal Highness the princess to clean up the bewitching goods that planned to get close to the Hou Ye.

Bai Nanyu pursed her elastic lips, and thought: Another advantage of leaking the news to the princess is that you can transfer her attention to me to other people and ......

Huo Quzhi said: "You two go back to Macedonia first and convey my meaning to Perseus." ”

After a moment's hesitation, Avti agreed, got up with Lodi, and walked out.

……

Huo Qu's illness broke through the half-saint, and several close people got together to eat a roast whole sheep, which was a simple celebration.

The halo of the setting sun reflects the sky.

In the dormitory, Bai Nanyu was wearing a Han skirt and a middle coat, making the bed for Huo Quai.

Huo Qu went to bathe and came out, and watched the summary of soldiers and horses sent from various places and the current situation in Parthia.

Bai Nanyu made the bed, came behind him, and helped him tie his hair and wear a crown.

Suddenly, Huo Quzhi felt soft and comfortable behind him, and a refreshing aroma lingered on the tip of his nose.

Bai Nanyu reached out from behind and grabbed his waist and abdomen.

"Lord Hou......"

Bai Nanyu's thick and straight eyelashes drooped slightly, and her side face was against Huo Quzhi's back.

But she was picked up by Huo Quai.

The calves and bare feet protruding from under her skirt seem to be more delicate and white than the white middle coat, and the shape of her feet is even more graceful and exquisite.

Bai Nanyu adjusted her position and let it go.

"Is Master Hou going out at night?"

Huo Quzhi nodded, and Bai Nanyu said, "I also want to go with Hou Ye." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled, and his eyes fell on Bai Nanyu's face.

She leaned forward, her face raised, her eyes shut.

This scourge should have found a chance to eat it......

Soon night fell.

Huo Quai's illness began to practice, and with Bai Nanyu, he disappeared out of thin air with a flicker.

I said I wanted to explore the details of Rome.

Huo Quai's new half-saint, and the shadow Han Xin's yin body together, even if the gods gather in Rome, the two of them are sure that they can enter and exit safely.

Huo Quai's current practice, blessing the military strategy to go up, the speed is incredible.

An undercurrent swept through the void.

As the hours of the morning approached, the three of them had crossed a long road, and in front of them appeared the outline of a large city built on a rolling plateau of low hills.

That is Rome, known as the City of Miracles, the City of the Seven Hills!

Inside the city, the wide main street is lined with senators, temples dedicated to the gods and consuls' residences, as well as the majestic Palace of Justice, splendid squares, and lush vegetation.

The three of them easily avoided the city defenses and entered the city.

Bai Nanyu didn't know that there was a shadow secretly following her, so she stretched out her hand to hook Huo Quai's illness as if she were dating, and walked forward leisurely.

Huo Quzhi let go of his divine thoughts, sensed the epic of the gods, and came to the central area of the city between the ups and downs.

Ps: After posting the chapter last night, it seems that the mother collapsed for a while...... This chapter is still more than 4,000, ask for votes, thank you
