"Because longing makes people become like animals."
Momia, who still had amorous feelings between her eyebrows, was leaning against the car wall with her forehead supported by one hand. When she thought of Sun Shao's words, she couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh too much, even with the slightest movement. It was also too much for her sore body to bear. She gently covered her clothes to cover her body. Although she trusted the maid sitting across from her holding Philip, she didn't want her to see the marks on her chest that were bitten by Sun Shao.
This is the new dress that Sun Shao just gave her. Her original dress was torn by the beast-like Sun Shao, and she can no longer wear it.
The fine ice silk has a cool feeling when touched in the hand, which brings a very comfortable feeling to people in this sultry summer. Momia sniffed the light fragrance on the silk clothes and was intoxicated by the confusion caused by the madness not long ago. Thinking of this, Momia's body couldn't help but feel a little warm again. She wrapped herself in silk clothes to keep herself awake. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to ensure that no one would see her flaws when she returned to the palace.
"This tireless beast!" Momia muttered in a low voice, and glanced at the maid guiltily. Philip, who was being held by the maid, woke up, yawned with his mouth open, and rolled his eyes in confusion. In a circle, as soon as he saw Momia, he opened his little mouth, stretched out his lotus-like arms towards Momia, and shouted "baaaah" in his mouth. Momia hesitated for a moment, then forced herself to stand up, hugged Philip over, tapped Philip's high nose with her finger, and said silently: "Little thing, I was killed all because of you. Such bullying.¡±
?? Philippe grinned, kicked his legs hard, stood up unsteadily, and hugged Momia's neck. Momia's chest hurt when he pressed her, and she couldn't help moaning softly, then she pursed her lips and kissed Phillip's face, complaining: "Are you coming to bully me too?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to get close to Philip, Momia gradually woke up. When she returned to the palace, she had returned to her usual calmness. Facing the expectant Quintus, she lightly told Sun Shao that he was willing to let Sun Feng and Philip became brothers. She said it very easily, but Quintus was so happy that he could hardly believe his ears. He couldn't help hugging Momia and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Momia, what did you do?" Arrived? You know, this is so important to me. That old dog Gordian will be furious when he hears this news."
Momia frowned, gently pushed Quintus away, and said with a smile: "My Emperor, you can't get carried away, otherwise you will be looked down upon."
"Yes, yes." Quintus was so happy that no matter what Momia said now, it sounded as beautiful as the fairy music in his ears. He turned around a few times excitedly, and then he noticed that Momia's brows were slightly frowning, and she was a little unnatural when walking. He quickly said with concern: "Momia, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired?"
"Well, a little bit." Momia nodded: "I have been teaching Emily and Diana these past few days. I am really tired. However, the big thing is finally settled. Even if I am a little tired, it is worth it. Your Majesty the Emperor , if there is nothing else, I want to take a rest first."
Quintus nodded gratefully: "You can pay attention to your health. I can't live without you now. You can have a good rest. I will discuss it with the ministers and tell them the news to make them feel more at ease."
Momia smiled and raised her hand to signal the maid to send Quintus out. Quintus quickly shook his head and said, "No need to send me off. You should take good care of the queen and don't let her get tired again." After saying that, he went out happily. Momia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down on the chair, waved her hand and said: "Prepare some hot water, I want to take a good bath."
The maid responded with a low eyebrow and went out to make arrangements. Momia sat there alone, a shy smile appeared on her face again, and her eyes were a little dazed. After a while, she couldn't help but laugh softly: "Jiao? Is this what the Han people call their women? It's really embarrassing."
The news that Sun Feng and Philip were brothers suddenly expanded Quintus's advantage to the point where Gordian could not resist. The nobles of the Senate realized this, and they quickly fell to Quintus' side. Seeing that the situation was not favorable to him, Gordian handed over the command of the army to Quintus on the grounds that he was old and physically unable to cope with the expedition, and asked to return to Rome to recuperate. Quintus reciprocated the favor and made Gordian a tribune. Tribune has long been an honorary title with pitifully little real power. Quintus's move was obviously suspected of squeezing out Gordian. However, in order to make Gordian obey his orders, he also appointed young Gordian as general. , commanding the two most elite legions of Gordian's 40,000-strong army.
Gordian had no objections. After handing over military affairs, he even held a grand wedding and alliance ceremony.He did not participate and immediately left Damascus. As soon as he left Damascus, Quintus immediately began to reorganize the army. He placed the generals who supported him into the army, took control of the military, and then began to integrate the 80,000 troops, and at the same time began negotiations with Sun Shao. They are already countries of brothers, and the negotiations went smoothly. As soon as the wedding and alliance ceremony were over, the armies of the two countries set off for Ctesiphon.
The army of 150,000 to 60,000 people plus the accompanying merchants and baggage teams, a total of 300,000 people, rushed towards Ctesiphon in a mighty manner. The long procession stretched for more than ten miles, which was extremely spectacular. In the eyes of the Romans, In his memory, this was the grandest expedition in history, and Roman Emperor Quintus suddenly became a hero among the people who restored the power of the Roman military.
Sun Feng followed Sun Shao's order and brought more than a thousand well-equipped Teutonic knights, one person and two horses, traveling day and night. It only took two days to arrive at Cao Zhang's camp.
As soon as he heard that Sun Feng was coming, Cao Zhang had no time to react. Yang Hu and Du Yu, who had just arrived as traveling scholars, jumped up and rushed out of the tent. As soon as they saw them surrounded by Teutonic knights, Sun Feng, who strode over, couldn't help but laugh.
"Prince!"
"Uncle, Yuan Kai, why is it you?" Sun Feng was also overjoyed and stretched out his hands to hold their shoulders, "Why are you here?"
"We were traveling and heard that the army was going to fight the Sassanids here. We didn't want to miss the battle, so we rushed here to serve as assistants to General Chen. We didn't expect to see the prince here. Prince, how are you always?" Yang Hu looked at Sun Feng happily.
"You need to ask? Just look at these Teutonic knights and you will know that the prince is not only good, but also very good." Du Yu pursed his lips and motioned to Yang Hu to look at Nicholas and others who were wearing fine armor and looking fierce. Yang Hu had already heard about Sun Shao's plan to confer thirteen Teutonic warriors as pavilions in one go. He was very happy for Sun Feng from the bottom of his heart. Now that he saw these strong men with his own eyes, he was also speechless: "They all eat it." How can you grow up to be so tall?"
"Of course we eat meat." Sun Feng laughed, turned to Nicholas and others and said, "These are my two good friends. You should get closer to each other in the future."
Nicholas and others were a little nervous when they saw Yang Hu and Du Yu rushing toward Sun Feng. Later, they relaxed when they saw them so affectionate. Now after listening to Sun Fengyi's words, they realized that these two people were often mentioned by the prince. The confidant did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said hello to them in blunt Chinese. After hearing this, Yang and Du couldn't help but want to laugh. While they were joking, they turned and walked towards the big tent.
"The prince is so majestic." Cao Zhang stood outside the tent with his hands behind his back. He glanced at the thirteen knights and said with envy: "The King of Yue is really rich. Even these barbarians are so well equipped?"
After Sun Shaoce made the thirteen Nicholas knights, he specially had a set of fine armor made of fine iron for each of them. More than a thousand Teutonic knights also put on good equipment. They are already a dazzling star group among the tens of thousands of barbarians. They can be recognized at a glance no matter where they go. Especially the thirteen knights, who are the heroes that attract everyone's attention. It can be said that even the tribal leaders may not be able to recognize them at a glance. Those with money could afford such equipment, but the Teutons owned thirteen, which gave Stiliko a lot of face and made the Teutons determined to be loyal to Sun Feng to the end.
"It's all because of my father's love, and I deserve it." Sun Feng smiled faintly and walked into the tent side by side with Cao Zhang. Not long after, Cao Zhi and others came after hearing the news. When they saw the calm Sun Feng and Nicholas and another Teutonic knight standing behind him, they all showed envious expressions.
Sun Feng gave a summary of what happened in Damascus, and finally said to Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Li Yan: "My father and His Majesty the Roman Emperor Quintus are marching towards Ctesiphon with an army of 150,000 people. With their speed, It will take about a month to arrive. He asked me to come and inform you of the news and ask you to prepare for the march to Ctesiphon. At the same time, he also wanted me to tell you, please rest assured that as long as Ctesiphon is captured, I will conquer Ctesiphon. The conditions promised to you by the state will be fulfilled. I just ask you to put aside the distinction between Wei, Shu and Yue for the time being and regard yourself as just a Han people. We are all Han people now."
Cao Zhang and others looked at each other and expressed their opinions one after another, but their expressions were somewhat perfunctory. Sun Feng had already expected it. He glanced at everyone, and then said solemnly: "Everyone, my father has a question that I don't understand, and I would like to ask you for advice."
"Does the King of Yue have any questions for us to ask?" Cao Zhi laughed sarcastically.
Sun Feng smiled slightly: "My father is not a saint who is born with knowledge, so of course there will be some puzzlements. General Cao is very smart and knows all the schools of thought. He will definitely be able to give the answer after thinking about it."
"I don't dare." CaoZhi laughed, which was both modest and arrogant. He was already very talented. He had nothing to do in Guanzhong these years, and he had enough time to be exposed to a large amount of external information. His horizons were broadened, and he claimed to be making great progress with each passing day. Now that he heard that Sun Shao was puzzled, he couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous.
"My father said that Rome has an army of 80,000 this time, and they are fighting on the mainland. Although our Han Expeditionary Army has a total strength of nearly 100,000, there are more than 30,000 Tianzhu mercenaries and more than 10,000 Bedouins, nearly half of them. The remaining Han troops were also divided into the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Yue, and they were thousands of miles away from the country. Why were they able to lead this war and become the unspoken leader of the alliance between Rome, Kushan and the Han Dynasty?"
Cao Zhi opened his mouth, but no words came out. This is actually not a problem, it's just that Sun Shao wants to remind them of the importance of unity. If they can unite as one, they can continue to dominate this war, but if they all have their own ideas, they will inevitably fall into internal strife like the Romans, and in the end they will have to rely on the power of outsiders to hand over their interests to others.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue reminds me that I, Li Yan, understand." Li Yan took the lead and said, "I hereby promise to the prince that I will obey the command and not put personal gain first."
"Prince, don't worry, we have been cooperating well." Cao Zhang also nodded in agreement: "General Chen is also here, he can testify."
Chen Hai nodded quickly. Sun Feng laughed: "My father must believe in you, otherwise he wouldn't have invited you here. Just to be on the safe side, he only asked me to talk in front of you once. I am a younger generation, and I guess you don't either. The accountant must be rude to me."
Everyone laughed. Just kidding, who dares to say he is rude?
Sun Feng and Cao Zhang immediately met with Guishang King Bo Diao. Bo Tiao was not in a good mood these days, and his energy was dampened in the first battle. He was very worried that his efforts were in vain and he would become a supporting role working for others, making sacrifices but not receiving corresponding benefits. Sun Feng first expressed condolences to him, and then conveyed Sun Shao's words of reaffirmation of the original agreement, assuring Bo Diao that he would never let the Kushan people suffer, and hoped that Bo Diao could cheer up and fight hard. When Bo Diao saw that the prince of Yue had personally assured him, he relaxed and happily agreed to go with Sun Feng to siege Taixi Feng City. At the same time, he agreed to order people to return to the country to recruit troops again, putting pressure on the Sasanians from another direction.
After these key things were successfully completed, Sun Feng and Cao Zhang discussed the deployment of troops. Sun Shao asked him to come here because he hoped that he could learn how to ride with Cao Zhang. Sun Feng has a foundation in the art of war, and has been tested on the battlefield in the past two years, and has made considerable progress. However, neither Sun Shao nor Lu Xun are good at riding. Among the generals who participated in the expedition this time, In terms of cavalry use, Cao Zhang is the best, and I am afraid Xia Hourong is slightly inferior. Sun Feng will stay in the Ctesiphon area from now on. His main strength will also be those barbarians. The cavalry will be an indispensable part of his strength. Whether he can use the cavalry well will determine whether he can stand firm on this land. heel.
When Cao Zhang heard that Sun Shao valued him so much, he was in a good mood. He said generously: "I am very honored to be able to learn from the experience of riding with the prince. If the prince is willing, he can stay in the army for a while. Before arriving at Ctesi Feng , you can get closer to the generals in the army, and you will be more confident when you compete with the Sasanians in the future."
He immediately called several Hu generals in the army, including Adiguai and Ameigai, who were mixed between Hu and Han, as well as Louban from Wuhuan, Budugen and Xieguini from Xianbei, and introduced them one by one. Sun Feng, ask them to get closer to Sun Feng. As soon as they saw Sun Feng, Bu Dugen and Xie Guini opened their mouths in surprise, glanced at each other, and shouted in unison: "So it's him?"
Cao Zhang was puzzled and his face darkened in displeasure: "What are you talking about?"
"He" Bu Dugen swallowed and smiled bitterly: "General Qi, the prince is the assassin who captured Kirby Neng alive."
Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Sun Feng again suspiciously: "Have you been to the grassland?"
Sun Feng smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said lightly: "It's just a handy job. Is it good that Kirby can be a handsome man?"
"What a ghost." Bu Dugen shook his head, dumbfounded, and pointed at Brother Adiguai: "Ask them."
Brother Adiguai stepped forward, looked at Sun Feng for a while, and then bowed and said: "My benefactor, I finally found you." They were killed because of Kirby, and Bu Dugen and other 30,000 Xianbei people surrendered. Only then did he achieve great success and became a general of the Han Dynasty. Later, they learned from Bu Dugen that the reason why Bu Dugen surrendered to their brothers was because of the request of the mysterious assassin, so they have been looking for this mysterious benefactor. Unfortunately, they have not found any information. Unexpectedly, they left Sassanid, who was thousands of miles away, saw it.
"Hehehe" Sun Feng helped them up and comforted them a few words.Yang Hu, who was standing behind him, suddenly understood. He said to Adiguai: "It's not difficult for you to thank the prince. Just tell him your Huns' riding tips. The prince needs this."
"That's nothing to say. We have absolutely no reservations about what the prince wants to know." Brother Adiguai's chests clapped loudly.
With such an unexpected episode, the relationship between Sun Feng and these Hu generals suddenly became closer. Cao Zhang was also very happy, and immediately arranged a banquet to promote feelings for everyone. While drinking, everyone discussed the arrangements for entering Ctesiphon. He originally tried to ask Sun Feng to be the commander, but Sun Feng refused. Sun Feng said, although I have some skills in martial arts, I lack the ability to command an army. My father asked me to come here this time to learn from you. If the general thinks I am still useful, then appoint me as a partial general or a general. Captain, more than a thousand Teutonic knights under my command have also been integrated into the general's troops and obey the general's command.
Cao Zhang laughed. He didn't want to give up the command of the army, but he didn't dare to let Sun Feng be his subordinate. Since Sun Feng was so understanding, he felt relieved and immediately proposed that Sun Feng be the supervisor of the army. If necessary, You can take some people and horses to act alone. Everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy, so there is no objection.
After the banquet, brother Adiguai was still not satisfied. He followed Sun Shao to his tent, put out some wine and continued drinking. The Huns were bold and had a large drinking capacity, but Sun Shao had been among the barbarians for two years and had a very large drinking capacity. He would come and go with them without letting him have a drink. Yang Hu and Du Yu soon couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to drink tea instead of wine and watch the three people compete for wine. At the end of the drink, Brother Adiguai was also drunk. Ameikai opened his tongue, patted Sun Feng's shoulder hard, and said with a silly smile: "Prince, II justnowunderstand why At that time, Imy cousin seemed toguessguessed something. It turns outit turns out she knewknows yourwhereabouts."
Sun Feng glanced at Yang Hu awkwardly, but Yang Hu smiled faintly and turned a blind eye.
