Huo Quzhi led his soldiers and horses to gallop through the night, and on the last day of August, he returned to Ctesiphon.

The dome is deep, and the stars have not yet fully receded.

Outside the east gate of Tai Xifeng, people and horses lined up, led by the chief Tu Wang and Su Jian.

In addition, there was a delegation led by Prince Memnon Lega of Macedon, who had just arrived in Ctesiphon.

Among their ranks was the war priestess Aphti.

Everyone was waiting for Huo Qu's illness.

At this moment, to the east, on the vast plain, a Han army came out of the void.

The moment the team appeared, the troops swept like a storm roared.

The strong pressure and soldiers made everyone at the city gate feel the pain of pins and needles in their skin.

The soldiers and horses came close in a blink of an eye.

A murderous aura pervaded the Macedonians such as Mennon Lega.

In the next moment, the whole army turned from galloping to stationary, and the four hooves of the horses pierced into the ground like sharp cones.

Boom!

The ground shook, thousands of troops turned from galloping to stationary, and the changes presented between movement and stillness formed a special contagion, and the audience was awe-inspired.

"I've seen Da Sima, I'm waiting to welcome Da Sima back to Parthia!"

The waiting soldiers shouted in unison.

The Western Huns, led by the king of the chieftain, and the Parthian soldiers and horses led by Utis, all knelt on one knee.

They were once prisoners of Huo Quai, and after the defeat, they surrendered to the Han Dynasty, so they used the pilgrimage ceremony of kneeling on one knee.

Huo Quai's bright and scorching gaze fell on the Macedonian crowd: "You are also there." ”

"We received news that the commander was about to return, so we set out a few days earlier, and only arrived at Ctesiphon yesterday evening, and we have something to report to the commander." Memnon Legado.

"Let's talk about it when we go into town."

Huo Qu's illness lightly clamped the horse's belly.

Jin'an raised the horse's neck, and the clear horse's eyes looked at everyone, and walked towards the city first with elegant horse steps.

The Hun Evil King, Fulu Branch and others were all on the front line preparing for war, and they were not in Ctesiphon, so they did not appear in the welcoming procession.

The sun is rising.

Clear sunlight pours in from the window, creating beams of light.

The main hall of the royal palace of Ctesiphon.

Memnon Lega stood under the right hand side of Huo Quai, who was in the main seat, and said, "We have received news that the Romans have mobilized many legions to the east this time.

Within the Roman legions, a war order had been launched.

They said that the Han was a demon army from the east, a blasphemer of the gods, and an aggressor, calling the surrounding countries to make enemies of the Han.

In the war orders of the Roman legions, it was also said that this time not only to defeat the Han army and our Macedonians in one fell swoop.

Moreover...... I want to hang my Macedonian lord and the commander of the Han army. ”

Memnon Lega looked worried:

"The Romans sent a fleet to pacify the enemy attacking from abroad to the southwest of their borders, and then drew the 3rd Army of 26,000 men to the east. Yesterday we have reached a position where we can engage with Macedonia and the Han army. ”

"What's so special about the Third Legion in Rome?"

"The Roman legions were ranked in such a way that the more battles they experienced, the more elite their troops were, the more they would be drawn into the higher-ranked legions.

Therefore, the top ten legions in Rome will double their combat effectiveness with each increase in rank. ”

Memnon Lega explains:

"The top three legions, the Templar army that remained in Rome, and the pro-army under the command of the Consul, known as the Shield of Rome. These five teams were the real aces of Rome, ranging in number from 10,000 to 40,000, and they had never been defeated in recent years. ”

Zhang Cigong stood in the first place among the generals of the Han army in the hall, thinking that it was just right, our Han army had never been defeated, and there was a strong enemy to fight, so he couldn't ask for it.

"Let's come here, there's one more thing to tell the commander."

This time it was Avti who spoke.

She was wearing a white robe, her long golden hair was tied up with a crown with a pattern, and her face full of classical beauty was a little dignified, and her sea-blue eyes looked at Huo Quzhidao:

"About six or seven days ago, a divine light rose into the sky in Rome, like a burning flame."

"We Macedonia used the Eye of the Holy Spirit to look at the heaven and earth where the divine light was burning, and the result was that the Holy Eye's Eye was burned and shattered because the divine light we saw was too strong, and it was directly destroyed."

Memnon Lega continued:

"The Eye of the Holy Spirit is an artifact that I have inherited for many years in Macedonia, and it is close to the artifact level.

Such an artifact is shattered from a distance, and we suspect ...... The divine light that burned in Rome was a terrifying force at the level of the gods.

They probably used something on the plane of a god! ”

Avti: "We want to remind the commander that after the past few contacts, the Romans have learned about the Han army, and they already have a way to deal with the Han army, otherwise they will not raise troops again."

As far as we know, the Grand Senate of Rome never did anything that he was not sure of. ”

"Since they raise troops again, they should have the certainty of suppressing the Han army."

Huo Quzhi said indifferently: "Is there anything else?" ”

"We have also brought some information on the Third Roman Legion to the commander-in-chief, please take a look at it." Memnon Legado.

Huo Quzhi snorted, and then turned his gaze to Su Jian, a veteran of the Han army.

He had been staying in Parthia and was most familiar with the current situation.

Su Jiandao: "Since half a month ago, the situation began to change, and the Romans mobilized many troops and horses to advance eastward.

By this morning, the Fifth Roman Army and the evil division of our Han army had engaged in a small battle. ”

"Is there any movement in Egypt?"

Su Jiandao: "It is difficult for us to fully develop the intelligence acquisition here.

I sent men to keep an eye on Egypt to the south, but I did not have the opportunity to probe deeply, and found no sign of a movement of troops and horses in Egypt. ”

On the way to Huo Qu's illness, he had a lot of contact with the Evil King and others, and he was no stranger to the battle situation.

After a few brief questions, he gave orders to take over the battle situation in an all-round way.

The Han army of Tessiphon immediately moved.

Before Huo Qubing left Chang'an, the two soldiers and horses who set off from the Western Regions and the body poison had just passed through the Dayue clan at this time and were still on the way to Parthia.

After Huo Qubing gave the order, the various departments acted according to the order.

Zhang Cigong rested a little in the city, and left the camp with 15,000 men in the afternoon and headed west.

The palace of Ctesiphon, the main hall.

After the short seat, Huo Quzhi was looking at the topographic map of Parthia.

The topography of Parthia resembles a lying gourd, with the mouth of the gourd facing west and the bottom facing east, lying horizontally on the fertile land of the two river basins.

To the west was Asia Minor, a battleground for the Romans to the east.

Han and Rome are now facing each other in this region.

Ctesiphon is located in the upper half of this gourd, close to the central position.

From Parthia, you will travel south along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, and further west on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, the city of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt.

In other words, advancing northeast from Egypt could approach the southwest corner of Parthia's borders.

"The prince thinks that the Egyptians will go to war and fight against us together with Rome?" Su Jian's eyes were also on the map.

It is not surprising that Egypt, in the war between Han and Rome, bet on Rome, which they knew better and was gradually becoming the hegemon of the Mediterranean.

The two sides are about to join forces to deal with the Han on the labor expedition.

Previously, Huo Qubing had sent the captured Egyptian captives back to warn the current king of Egypt, Ptolemy VIII.

But such warnings will not be an actual deterrent.

The Pharaoh of Egypt clearly took the warning on deaf ears.

The war has reached the stage where it is about to break out.

On the first day of Huo Qu's return to Parthia, he made adjustments to the battle situation.

Before he came back, the Han army was as immobile as a mountain, but at this moment it became aggressive, with Tai Xifeng as the strategic core, from the south and north respectively, by Zhang Cigong and Zhao Ponu, each leading the team to advance to the west, like two spears piercing out, full of murderous aura.

In Rome, in the evening, the Grand Elder received information about the changes in the movements of the Han army.

"That commander of the Han army has returned...... "The elder squinted, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Night fell quickly.

The palace hall of Ctesiphon is brightly lit.

Huo Quai's desk was stamped on a warrant for the transfer of troops and horses, and asked the soldiers to pass the order.

"Got news?"

A man was coming in from outside the temple.

It was Song Ran: "Luo Xiu and I came back from Chang'an half a month ahead of schedule according to Da Sima's order. He led people west, and this was the news he had just returned.

There are also all kinds of information obtained from my embroidered clothes to explore Egypt, which I have preliminarily sorted out, and Da Sima has seen it. ”

Song Ran presented the sorted information.

Huo Quzhi buried his head in reading: "You go, you don't have to wait here, there will be no more things tonight." You're about to break through the realm of heaven and man, and your qualifications are good. ”

Song Ran subconsciously pouted, the qualification is good, this sentence belongs to Huo Quai, and he is the most unqualified to say.

It felt strange to hear the words praising other people's qualifications from his mouth.

Song Ran is a little older than Huo Quai, he is half a saint, and he even praised me for my good qualifications?

With the improvement of the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty, the cultivation of the Han people is entering a stage of development by leaps and bounds.

In the future, the number of cultivators in the Heavenly and Human Realms will continue to increase.

The night is getting darker.

Huo Qu returned to the back house and saw that the palace where he settled had been cleaned and cleaned.

Even the bed was replaced with a silk brocade quilt and a jade pillow.

At a glance, I knew that it was prepared by Bai Nanyu.

This calamity has often teased him lately, and he will come up when he has nothing to do. It was not very convenient when I was in Chang'an, and it was not appropriate to share a room with her when I first came to the Parthian front.

However, the peaches are ripe, so it's time to eat them.

After Huo Qu returned to the dormitory, he contacted his uncle Wei Qing and asked each other about the battle situation at both ends.

The moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are like washing.

He closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation, and the power in his body instantly sympathized with heaven and earth.

The yang god derived from the soldier talisman is separated from the body and wanders outside the world.

At the current stage of Huo Qu's illness, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of increasing cultivation by absorbing the qi of heaven and earth in ordinary times.

Even decades of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi were not enough to push the Half-Saint forward and continue to improve in level.

But the situation of Huo Qu's disease is somewhat special.

He has six military talismans, a yin body, and the five dragons of the Sheng Shen Law can be divided into five, and together gather the qi of heaven and earth.

Compared with an ordinary soldier, one soldier talisman and one yin body, the speed at which he gathers vitality when he cultivates is several times exceeding.

After he entered the half-saint level, he was able to pull the vitality of a hundred miles in a radius and sink and converge at one time.

And the affected area continues to expand, and the weather is amazing.

And Huo Quai's cultivation this time also used the National Fortune Purple Pill given by the emperor.

It was the Han Dynasty's national fortune that was too thick and heavy, and it formed an almost solid crystalline substance.

The majesty of the national fortune contained in it surprised even Huo Quai.

The National Fortune Zidan hung in front of him, and with his breath, there was a breath like the Yangtze River, pouring into his body.

Huo Quzhi could feel the 100,000 pores around his body, all of which were accepting the aura of heaven and earth and the fortune of the country into his body.

After the strong breath of national fortune enters the body, it is quickly transformed into the power of cultivation.

Absorb the Zidan of National Fortune and practice for an hour, which is worth more than ten months in normal times.

It is dozens of times faster than the regular cultivation speed.

It's no wonder that so many people secretly calculate, plot to seize the fortunes of the country, and improve their cultivation.

The results are amazing.

And when Huo Qu was immersed in cultivation, he suddenly felt a kind of calling from the spiritual level.

Looking for its source, it is an ancient well in the sea.

Huo Qu was so sick that he sank into his heart and entered the ancient well.

On the wall of the ancient well, there are symbols flickering, turning into a small hole in the consciousness of one side.

There were two thatched huts and bamboo fences, green as jade.

There is a bamboo forest behind the thatched hut, and the environment is quiet, and the mist is shrouded, and the spring water meanders through the forest.

There is a stone platform in the bamboo forest, and there is an old man sitting behind the stage, and there are four flesh moles on his broad forehead, which is the appearance of ghosts.

This person is the Guiguzi who has seen once in the spiritual conception of the well wall after Huo Quai's breakthrough to the semi-saint, the great sage of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the originator of vertical and horizontal in the spiritual conception of the well wall!

He saw Huo Quai, looked at it carefully, and slowly spoke: "Ling's military practice, the best strategy has been obtained?" ”

Seeing Huo Qubing nodded, he said again: "Do you know that the number of military qi that can be accumulated for every ten top policies can be cultivated into a top policy?" ”

Huo Qu was sick and shook up, and the best policy!
