Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

Seeing Xu Shu's self-confidence, Severus said, "Since the big man is so powerful, why are there only a few envoys?"

"Every time Rome goes on an envoy to another country, there are at least a thousand people in the guard of honor."

The implication is that the big man is not as good as Rome.

Xu Shu put down his wine glass, smiled slightly,

"Only a weak and weak country needs to be bold enough to send a mission to other countries. A strong country, even if there is only one person, has a strong deterrent effect. Don't you think so?"

Severus smiled awkwardly.

Upon seeing this, a Roman official immediately said,

"If the big man is really as powerful as Mr. You said, why didn't he come to our Rome until today? Is it because he is afraid of Parthia and the Kushan Empire (Guishuang Empire)?"

These words were tinged with sarcasm.

Because they are in Rome, they are attacking the Anxi and Guishuang alliances.

Xu Shu smiled lightly, "It's not Anxi and Guishuang that stop us from coming to Rome, but poverty."

He ridiculed that Rome was too poor to be worthy of a big man's merchants.

Severus was a little angry, but he didn't get angry because of his identity.

of course,

He had no reason to get angry.

The news brought back by many Roman businessmen who have been to Dahan is that Dahan is indeed richer than Rome!

Not to mention trains and steam battleships.

That is, what the common people eat, wear, and use is centuries better than dumping them!

Seeing that there was no way to get cheap from Xu Shu, Severus had no choice but to lower his figure, and took the initiative to ask, "Dare to ask Mr. Xu, why did the Emperor of Han send you here?"

Xu Shudao,

"Naturally to help Rome."

Severus was taken aback, "What do you mean, how can you help us?"

Xu Shudao,

"Open up the bridge of communication between Han and Rome, and eliminate all enemies that hinder the development of friendly exchanges between the two countries."

"May I ask, do you want to get all the territory and people of the Parthian Empire?"

Anxi and Rome are also considered feuds. Wars often break out between the two countries, and both sides have their own winners and losers.

Since Severus ascended the throne, what he most wanted to conquer was the Parthian Empire.

To accomplish what the greatest emperor Trajan in the history of the Roman Empire did not accomplish.

Then, he will become a hero of the Roman Empire, an idol in everyone's mind.

His Severus dynasty will also become stronger and last longer!

Xu Shu's words touched his heart.

But he didn't show it, but asked calmly, "I still don't understand what you mean."

Xu Shu didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile,

"It's very simple. The big man annexed Guishuang, and Rome annexed Anxi. You get what you want, and the big man gets what the big man wants. In this way, there will be no barriers between our two countries! Trade exchanges between Rome and the big man, It will also become easier."

Then,

He talked in detail with Severus about his plan to jointly send troops to attack the two countries.

Xu Shu speaks very skillfully,

Not only was Severus irritated by what he said, but even the Roman generals around him were very excited, wishing to immediately dispatch troops from the country to take down the Parthian Empire in one fell swoop!

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have a big man to help!

……

Chapter 517 Withdrawal is Impossible for You to Withdraw

Hatra, the capital city resting in peace, was placed in Guishuang Empire's eyeliner. After the news came, King Vologis V immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, because the big man wiped out the Huns and Wusun people, the Guishan people are afraid and want to withdraw the army fighting in Mesopotamia!"

Vologis V informed his subordinates of the information he had obtained.

of course,

These people are his most trusted, and there are no spies from the Guishuang Empire.

After hearing this, Su Linmeier, the chief supervisor, sneered, "It's really ridiculous for people from Guishuang to backtrack on their promises."

"When they came to ask for peace, they signed an agreement that the two sides supported each other unconditionally. Now the Romans have not driven away, they want to withdraw their army. Isn't this putting us in a difficult situation!"

"Your Majesty the King, absolutely cannot agree to their request to withdraw troops!"

The chief executive of the Anxi Empire is the head of all officials, with one person under ten thousand, and the status of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the regent of the Guishuang Empire is similar.

Moreover, his family is also one of the four major families in the empire, with extremely high rights and prestige.

So even if he spoke at the noble meeting, he was very tough.

Someone retorted,

"What the chief executive said is wrong. The agreement we signed at the beginning is that if one party is in trouble, the other party must support it unconditionally."

"It is true that we are being attacked by the Romans, but the Guishuang people are also threatened by the big man. Reasonably, they all have the right to withdraw their troops, and even have the right to ask for our help."

According to the agreement, Guishuang people can indeed make this request.

But Parthians also have the right to refuse.

Vologis V sneered, "Please report in the newspaper that they really have this plan."

"The Guishuang people sent two teams to our country. One team went straight to the Mesopotamian camp, and the other team came to our imperial capital."

help you?

Are you serious?

I am being attacked by the Roman Empire!

The noble who refuted the chief executive spread his hands helplessly, "The Guishuang people are really thick-skinned. We can refuse to send troops to support, but there is no way to refuse them to withdraw."

"Absolutely cannot withdraw troops!"

Before the words were finished, the chief executive of Mesopotamia retorted sharply, "The army of Guishuang is of great significance in the battle against the invasion of the Roman Empire. If this will withdraw him, we will have a great deal of respect for the Roman Empire." There will be visible flaws in the defensive line. If the Romans seize this opportunity, it will be fatal to our Parthian Empire."

He is the officer in full charge of this battle, and he knows the weight of Guishuang's 5 people in his heart.

Even if another army is deployed to replace them in a short period of time, the effect will definitely not be as good as that of the Guishuang people.

There are two reasons:

First, this is the first time that the Guishan people fought head-on with the Roman Empire. The Romans did not understand the fighting habits of the Guishan people, so in the battle, they can often achieve unexpected results.

Second, the most powerful army of the Parthians is heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, suitable for encounters.And this time it was defending Mesopotamia, and the Guishuang people were stronger than them in defensive warfare.

For these two reasons, Edessa Morgan, the administrator of Mesopotamia, could never let go.

"But that's their army."

The objector said helplessly.

People's army, people have the right to dispatch.

"If it is forcibly detained, I'm afraid it will backfire."

If you don't let them go back, what if they get angry and abandon the city or even seek refuge in Rome?

If you think about it carefully, the relationship between the Anxi people and the Guishan people is not strong, and all this is possible!

In one sentence, Edsa Morgan fell into deep thought.

Yes,

Precisely because the Guishuang people play such a big role, once they rebel, the consequences will be disastrous.

Not only Mesopotamia will be lost, but the entire Parthian Empire may even be captured by the Roman Empire.

The Romans were extremely possessive, and it was absolutely impossible to give up this good opportunity.

At this moment, a very unpopular noble member suddenly proposed,

"What if the Balayaka Legion didn't know that the Guishuang people wanted them to go back? We didn't know that the Guishuang people came to ask for help?"

This sentence awakened everyone present.

After a while, Edsa Morgan slapped her thigh excitedly, "Good idea!"

"If the envoys of the Guishan people are killed by sand bandits, we have enough reasons to prevaricate."

Just do what he said, Vologis V immediately sent a killer, pretending to be a sand bandit, to ambush on the road ahead of the Guishuang envoy.

……

Greater Armenia, the military tent of the Roman Empire.

After the banquet, Severus arranged for Xu Shu, Li Cunxiao and others to rest, and sent some beautiful female slaves to serve.

Xu Shu and Li Cunxiao were not interested in these female slaves, even though they were first-rate in figure and appearance.

Therefore, nothing happened to them.

Xu Shu wanted to learn more about the slavery system in the Roman Empire, so he chatted with the slave girl.

During the conversation, he learned that the female slave was a Thracian named Sura.

A year earlier, they had lost a battle helping the Romans fight.So the Romans vented their anger on the Thracian, not only killed many of their villagers, but also captured her and his husband.

That night was her and her husband's wedding night.Before the two of them had time for something good to happen, they entered a nightmare.

She didn't know where her husband was sent, but because of her youth and beauty, she was considered a top-quality slave and sent to the royal family.

After a period of enslavement training, Sura went out with the royal family for the first time.
