Forty-five-year-old tribune O'Leary, as a Roman envoy, was standing outside the military fortress, waiting for Huo Qu's illness to summon him.

He came on a mission related to the rise and fall of Rome.

Soon after, O'Leary and a group of more than ten people entered the main hall of the military fortress together.

The accompanying guards of the mission were left outside and were not allowed to enter the city.

O'Reary walked into the main hall and looked at the Oriental commander who had been known to everyone in Rome lately.

He was dressed in black armor and sat in the hall, flanked by a charming woman in a cream-white dress.

Under the low seat in front of him, there was a giant tiger lying on his stomach.

On the beam of the roof was a cat squatting, watching the Romans with wary eyes.

"Commander of the East, we represent Rome and are here to talk."

O'Reary looked serious and put on a negotiation stance.

Huo Quzhi said in fluent ancient Roman: "Actually, there is nothing to talk about, you want to seek peace, but you want to delay time, gain a buffer, and strive to rectify the internal chaos." ”

O'Reary remained silent, but there were some people in the attaché whose expressions changed slightly.

Huo Quzhi broke their main purpose in one word, and the hole cards were seen clearly.

"It's okay to make peace, if you can meet my requirements, I'll spare your lives!" Huo Quzhi said lightly.

O'Leary said solemnly: "The commander of the East thinks that the Han army has won?

Your last raid did cause us a lot of damage.

But the strength of my main Roman legions has not been damaged, and the Han and us will fight to the death, and the chances of victory are not high......"

"Even if Han wins, what will be their own losses? Since ancient times, there have been no absolute winners in wars. The joint talks were good for both sides, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han Dynasty were spared from the war. ”

"You've got a bit of a lip in cheek."

Huo Quzhi smiled dumbly: "Since you think Rome still has a chance to win, let's talk about it after the battle." ”

O'Leary was about to speak, but Huo Quzhi continued: "If you want to sue for peace, the condition I can accept is that Rome dismisses the military power and surrenders to my Han.

In the future, the appointment of personnel in Rome, from the consuls to the regional governors, must all be approved by my great Han.

Sixty percent of Rome's annual output, including but not limited to minerals and agricultural products, was paid to the Han Dynasty by the landlords of various places to collect taxes from the common people. ”

O'Reary said angrily: "No way, you are not negotiating, you are plundering and enslaving. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "I agree with you, I am already very sincere, you can take my words back and tell Mario."

Do what I say, and leave a little bit of vitality for Rome.

Otherwise, when I conquer Rome, I will do the same as I have just said. ”

"I'm letting you in, two reasons.

Oureli, when I stormed the royal city of Rome, you hid among the people, thinking that you had escaped our search and escaped death. ”

"Actually, I deliberately spared your life, because you are one of the three candidates I chose to govern Rome after conquering it."

This time, even O'Reary's expression changed slightly.

"You should consider my suggestion carefully, and if you are willing to surrender early, I can appoint you as consul of Rome now, and officially take office after our army has completely defeated Rome." Huo Qu was sick and took a long time.

O'Reary said angrily, "I will never betray Rome." ”

"Neither will die."

Huo Quzhi said: "Ascending to the position of consul and making Rome better, isn't it something you have always wanted to do but have not done?"

In your Rome, it is the nobility who take more than eighty percent of the income, and the people do not get two percent.

I will take the share that belongs to the nobility, and only sixty percent, and the rest will be freely distributed by you, which can improve the current situation in Rome, and do you at least more good than Rome, which is now controlled by the nobility. ”

"If I had sent troops to conquer Rome, it would not be the price it is now. The losses of the Han will be taken back a hundred times from the Romans. ”

Damn it...... O'Reary felt like he had a momentary thrill.

The Han commander's understanding of Rome and his accurate understanding of the situation greatly exceeded his judgment before he came.

O'Reary suddenly found that since he came in, he had been controlled by the other party in the direction of the negotiation, and there was almost no chance to take the initiative to express his will.

"That's all I have to say. Go down, go straight back to Rome, and bring my words to Marius the consul. ”

When Huo Quai's output ended, he didn't give O'Leary and the others a chance to make peace at all, so he made a move.

The pro-soldiers led by Huan Qisheng came in and drove the group out like wolves.

"The prince is really thinking about making this ...... just now The man of O'Lery, as the next consul?

You say there are three candidates, who are the other two? Bai Nanyu said curiously.

"And then there's the current Consul Marius, and their new Ninth Legion, Helena Livi."

"Female Legionnaire?"

"Well, according to the embroidered investigation, this female corps commander knows military affairs and is longer than governance.

The Twelve Councils of Rome had no choice but to make her a legionary commander.

Her orthodox soldiers held the mouth of the sea in the southwest corner of Rome, and had not yet made contact with our Han army. ”

At this time, the pro-army came in again: "Da Sima, there is another Roman mission outside."

He had secretly turned back and wanted to be alone. ”

In the blink of an eye, a man entered the temple from the outside, a middle-aged man.

He was also one of the people who came in with O'Leary just now, and he had been told the name, and his name was Pierce.

He returned alone to ask for a meeting, and said his intentions, but it was the Lego family of the Twelve Councils of Rome, who secretly arranged for people in the mission, and turned back to contact Huo Qubing alone.

This Pierce pointed out that Gaius Marius and Captain Nyssa, the First Legion, wanted to eradicate the Twelve Council families once and for all.

After the Liege family became vigilant, they were willing to ignore their previous suspicions, unite with the Han army, and strike first.

Its purpose was to use the power of the Han army to get rid of the consuls and protect itself.

On behalf of the Lego family, Pierce promised the benefit of once Marius was eliminated, and after they took control of Rome, they would cede land to the Han army, cede the two great provinces west of Thrace to the Han army, and conclude an alliance with the Han to non-aggression.

Huo Quzhi almost laughed out loud, this is the current Rome.

A small mission is also intriguing, secretly playing games and competing with each other, dragging each other back.

The aristocracy and the people of Rome were fundamentally contradictory, irreconcilable, rotten to the bones, and difficult to return.

Marius also saw this, so he wanted to completely eradicate the Twelve Council families and restore Rome.

Huo Quzhi accepted the gift that Pierce used to bribe him and show his sincerity, but was not prepared to do anything.

Roman infighting would only be more beneficial to Han.

His envoys stayed at the fortress that night and came the next day to ask for an audience.

It's a pity that from the second day, Huo Qubing didn't pay attention to them at all.

I can't see my face.

O'Reary spent four days in the military fortress, and only saw Huo Qu's illness on the first day.

He had no choice but to lead the crowd back on the fifth day, and the envoy did not gain anything, but on the way back, O'Reary couldn't help but think of Huo Quai's proposal.

When the Roman envoys left, Huo Qubing was in the military fortress, his eyes slightly closed, pushing the strength in his body.

That godhead was held in his hand, absorbing the majestic divine power in it and stripping away the divine power.

Then use your own practice for your own use.

Huo Quzhi also allocated part of the power of the godhead to the empty samadhi to help him improve his cultivation.

Empty samadhi has great potential for growth.

If he can continue to break through, he will further induce the power of the Buddha's relics and Vedas.

Before reaching the Holy Realm, the further back he goes, the stronger his strength will be.

Time flies.

The attributes of the godhead and the power contained in it are absorbed and extracted, blending with Huo Qubing himself.

This is a war and storm, a dual-attribute godhead, left by the peak level of demigods.

Eventually, only a small piece of Godhead Core remained unabsorbed.

His previous injuries, after this period of recuperation, adjustment, have fully recovered.

Huo Qu finished his practice, meditated on the sea of knowledge, and sent the newly obtained purple luck symbol into the talent soldier beauty plan.

was integrated into the martial arts symbol, and the beauty plan, which was already close to forming, suddenly flowed out of a thick purple halo.

At this moment, Huo Qu's body was shining, and his cultivation and talent were helping each other to increase.

This Upper Strategy Soldier is about to complete its final transformation!

Huo Quzhi opened his eyes, and around the natural military strategy in the sea, the chaos that had wrapped Ji Jian before had completely disappeared.

A purple jade-like soldier slip hangs in the center of the sea of knowledge, shining brightly.

Huo Quzhi judged that in three or five days at most, all changes would be over.

Another superior policy, driven by it, seems to be accelerating its evolution, and the chaos is slowly dispersing.

The four elephant divine talismans in the sea of knowledge are all gathered around Shangshangce, swallowing their breath.

With the transformation of the upper policy, even the cultivation of the military family has also increased, approaching the last realm of the half-saint.

In the sea of knowledge, there is also a spiritual sound that seems to come from the beginning of heaven and earth.

Because of the change in the best policy, there is a newly opened military strategy bitter meat plan, which actually advanced on its own and turned into a good strategy.

Huo Quai's illness was quite unexpected, the upper strategy had not completely finished the change, and the scattered qi machine had led to the improvement of the new recruit's strategy!

Even in the entire book of knowing the sea soldiers, there are words that are disappearing, and the number of soldiers carried has increased by more than one point!

"Your best strategy has finally come, and the one who holds the best strategy is a military official!" Guiguzi's loud and loud voice resounded through the soul.

Sunset at night.

The fiery red sun sank below the horizon.

When Huo Qubing came out of the hall, in the courtyard outside the hall, Xiong San and Song Ran, who had just come back from listening to the news, were sitting.

In order to intensify the offensive, the king of Hun and the chieftain were also transferred from the Parthian border.

In the middle of the courtyard where several people were sitting, there were several whole sheep, which were golden in color and overflowing with grease under the roasting of the flames.

As long as it is sprinkled with simple salt and other ingredients, the lamb is tender and delicious.

Huo Quzhi also joined them, chatting while eating, and assigning follow-up battle plans to the Hun Evil King, the Chief Tu King and others.

Mid-January.

The Macedonian tribes came to join forces with the Han army and marched west into Thrace.

At this time, the front army had already driven straight in, with Zhang Cigong and the evil king as the vanguard of the left and right. The two roads came out together, sweeping across the Balkans.

Rome's current internal chaos has not yet been sorted out, and the forces controlled by some nobles do not want to be consumed, so they have shrunk the defense line several times and ceded the Balkan Peninsula to the Han army.

The royal city of Rome is also engaged in a thrilling battle.

The consul Marius and the commander of the First Legion, Nisa, used the simplest and rude way to directly raise troops into the city, and wiped out several original Twelve Council families such as Lego who still retained their strength, and wanted to uproot them.

At the same time, Alexandria, Egypt.

The new pharaoh, Ptolemy IX, was twenty-three years old.

He wore a white royal robe and sat on the throne: "Mother Concubine, the commander of the Han army, asked me to surrender and meet me." ”

Ptolemy IX succeeded his father in a mutiny with the support of the Romans.

He was born with a handsome face, the son of Cleopatra III, the substitute for the fairy concubine.

He held a bronze mirror in his hand, and the person he spoke to was the fairy concubine.

The ministers were terrified because the Han army had just attacked and routed the Romans. Their commander sent a message saying, "If I don't surrender, the Han army will send troops to sweep away Egypt." ”

"There are many ministers who are persuading me to go to the commander of the Han army."

Ptolemy IX was not sure if his concubine was listening to him on the other side of the mirror.

From before he left Egypt, Ptolemy IX received this small mirror.

He chose to cooperate with Rome before, and it was also the request from the concubine that asked him to cooperate.

In the past, Ptolemy IX contacted him through the mirror, sometimes receiving a response, but most of the time it was silent in the mirror.

At this time, the voice of the fairy concubine came out of the mirror, and said in ancient Egyptian: "Ignore him, he is declaring war on me through you!"

The Han army was dealing with Rome, and the flawless division of troops came to Egypt.

And Han himself is about to encounter a catastrophe, and it is impossible for him to raise troops against Egypt, and he is beyond his strength. ”

Ptolemy IX excitedly exclaimed: "What the concubine said is true, then I will tell him that I will not go to meet a Han commander." ”

The fairy concubine agreed, and then there was no movement.
