- Yiji was very excited.
He traveled long distances and came to Rome just to unite with Rome and attack the Persian Empire.
Now, the Roman emperor has finally summoned him, which means that Yiji has the opportunity to state his interests to him face to face.
So, Yiji took a guide who was proficient in Roman language, rode a special carriage from the Roman palace, and entered the magnificent Roman Palace.
After passing through the gorgeous stone palaces, Yiji came to the most magnificent Wansheng Temple, which is equivalent to the Golden Palace of Eastern Chu.
When Yi Ji walked into the hall, he saw a Roman nobleman in "revealing" clothing. He looked up and saw two people sitting side by side on the huge throne.
One of the young men, wearing a crown with golden olive branches on his head and holding a scepter symbolizing power, must be the Roman Emperor Alexander.
Next to Alexander, there is a beautiful and noble woman wearing a white skirt, with her calves and arms exposed.
Yi Ji had inquired beforehand and found out that the beautiful woman was the mother of the young emperor, the Empress Dowager Momia.
The reason why Alexander was able to ascend to the throne was largely due to his capable mother, who used all forces to push him to the throne.
Therefore, after Alexander ascended the throne, Momia had been co-ruling the affairs of the Roman Empire as the empress dowager with his son.
In fact, the power of the Roman Empire was more in the hands of Momia. Any decree issued by Alexander must be approved by Momia.
"When a woman is in power in the Roman Empire, the country is inauspicious and there will be chaos for a long time." Yiji sighed secretly, recalling the history of the Han Dynasty in his mind. The history of Lu's reign.
Under Momia and Alexander, there sat a man with white hair and beard. A very wise looking elder.
Yi Ji also knew that that man was Harvey, the most famous senator in the Roman Senate.
¡°The Romans¡¯ way of governing the country is really magical. It¡¯s incredible that the emperor¡¯s decisions need to be approved by the Senate.¡±
With emotion, Yi Ji still behaved like an envoy from a great power. He slightly saluted Momia and Alexander on the throne and said: "I Ji, the envoy of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor. The Queen Mother."
The guide beside him translated Yiji¡¯s words loudly in Roman.
The young emperor Alexander smiled and said: "The emperor welcomes the arrival of the Eastern envoys. I wonder what important matter the Eastern envoys came to our Roman Empire from the far east?"
Yi Ji then sent his greetings to Yan Liang. As well as the proposal to unite with Rome, attack from the east and west, and jointly deal with the Persians, they came out.
"A war has just ended between Rome and Persia, and the two countries have concluded a peace treaty. Does the Eastern Emperor's proposal want us to abandon the peace treaty?" Senator Harvey asked.
Yiji said sternly: "The so-called treaty between Persia and your country is just that Hades has no worries for his eastern invasion. Just imagine, if Hades conquers the east, Persia's national power will be unprecedentedly powerful, far better than Rome. That Will he still abide by the so-called peace treaty with Rome? "
Harvey was speechless, and the Roman nobles present also changed their expressions slightly.
It is well known that the Persians are aggressive. At that time, Rome had no hostility towards Persia, but Hades openly sent troops to invade. Of course, the Romans would not forget this old score.
"What the Eastern Envoy said makes sense, but the Persian Empire is a powerful country, and Rome will have to pay a high price for going to war with it." Empress Dowager Momia also spoke.
Yi Ji smiled and said: "Although Persia is powerful, two-thirds of its military strength is far in the east. There are only less than 100,000 troops left in the country. With the power of the Roman Empire, how can it be afraid of a mere 100,000 troops?" Persian army?"
Momia¡¯s expression moved slightly, as if she was trying to convince Yi Ji.
Yiji continued: "Hades spent a lot of manpower and material resources in the country in order to conquer the east. I passed by and saw with my own eyes that the people in Persia were boiling with resentment and there were many hidden dangers. If your country sends troops at this time, it will be able to march forward and be invincible. ¡±
The senators and nobles began to discuss privately, and warlike emotions were mobilized in Yiji.
"My great Roman Empire sent troops to solve the crisis for you in the East. What benefits can we get?" asked the young emperor Alexander.
"There are so many benefits, why should I use my rank to list them all?"
Yiji smiled and said: "Destroy Persia, and the Roman Empire will have one less powerful enemy. It can concentrate its efforts on dealing with the Germanic barbarians who have repeatedly invaded from the west, and it can also greatly expand the territory of Rome. The wealth and population of Persia will fall into The pockets of the Roman Empire, such huge profits,Isn't it still worth sending troops to try? "
Yi Ji is indeed a seasoned diplomat. During this period of time, he has gained a clear understanding of the details of the Roman Empire. Even the threat of the Germans is well understood.
As soon as these words came out, the Ten Thousand Holy Temples immediately started to boil.
Wealth, land and population, whether in the East or the West, are the goals that all nobles are chasing after. Once given the opportunity, no one will be tempted.
How rich Persia is, and how many people can serve as slaves for the nobles, this is something that the Roman nobles know best.
¡°Moreover, in recent years, internal disputes in Rome have continued, and social conflicts have become increasingly intensified. An expansionary war to plunder wealth and slaves from the outside may also be the best way to divert domestic conflicts.
Yiji could see that the Romans were deeply tempted, and all he had to do was add some fire.
He looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Now Hades's 300,000-strong army is contained in the far east by our great Chu Kingdom. Persia is empty and its people are scattered. This is an excellent opportunity given by God to you to annex Persia." , please think carefully about whether you dare to seize this God-given opportunity."
Yi Ji¡¯s words were like a fuse, igniting the passion of all the Roman nobles in the hall.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, please send troops to destroy Persia."
"Persia has a population of tens of millions and countless wealth. If Persia is destroyed, our Rome will surely reach its peak."
¡¡
For a time, all the Roman nobles clamored in favor of sending troops to attack Persia.
Momia looked around at the ministers and raised her hand. Everyone in the Ten Thousand Halls immediately fell silent.
Momia turned her attention to the senator Harvey and asked, "Harvey, do you think we, the Roman Empire, are somewhat sure of victory if we send troops to Persia?"
Harvey coughed a few times and said slowly: "I heard that the three great generals of Persia all followed Hades to the east, but our great Rome has twelve generals, who can mobilize at least 400,000 troops. With such strength, In comparison, I think that if nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to capture the Persian state.¡±
As the chief senator of the Senate, Harvey also expressed his agreement to send troops and was very confident, which meant that the entire Senate would also agree to send troops.
Momia nodded slightly, her blue eyes already shining with confidence.
She turned her gaze to Alexander, nodded to him, and signaled.
Alexander understood, and then he said to Yiji: "Messenger from the East, I accept your proposal and am willing to form an alliance with your Eastern Emperor to attack from the east and west and destroy the evil and warlike Persian Empire."
Alexander, the nominal emperor of the Roman Empire, made the final decision and agreed to join forces to destroy Persia.
Yiji was overjoyed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He only smiled happily and said: "His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager Shengming, the Great Roman Empire has sent troops, and the demise of Persia is a foregone conclusion. I would like to congratulate your Majesty in advance for opening up the territory for Rome." The unparalleled achievements of Tutu."
Hearing Yiji's "flattery", Alexander felt a little proud and couldn't help laughing loudly.
In the Ten Thousand Temples, the Roman nobles laughed loudly, and everyone was full of fighting spirit and blood boiling.
In their eyes, they seemed to have seen countless wealth and slaves rushing toward them.
Amid the excitement, an imperceptible sneer appeared on Yi Ji's lips.
¡¡
Thousands of miles away, Yumen Pass.
The entire Western Region has been covered with thousands of miles of snow and thousands of miles of ice.
Outside Yumen Pass, the Gobi Desert has been covered by heavy snow. What was once yellow sand has now turned into an endless snowfield.
The 260,000-strong Persian army was huddled in their tents, shivering.
¡°They are asking for trouble.
Hades was confident that he could destroy Chu within three months before the cold winter arrived, so he did not bring enough winter clothes with the army since the expedition.
Now that winter has arrived, Hades's iron hooves can't even pass the Jade Gate Pass. A large number of winter clothes are still on the way to be transported. Thousands of Persian soldiers can only huddle in their tents and warm themselves around the fire, not even daring to go out to urinate. .
The coming of cold winter also made supply transportation more and more difficult, and Hades had to order food rationing to reduce the daily supply of soldiers.
While the Persians were suffering from cold and starvation, Yan Liang and his Chu soldiers were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, drinking hot liquor, eating delicious mutton, and enjoying themselves around a roaring fire. The comfort of winter.
With the help of Da Chu, Yan Liang has inexhaustible resources.He is well-prepared to fight locally and will not be tortured by the cold winter.
The more than 200,000 Dachu soldiers were accumulating strength in the winter, waiting for the day of counterattack.
In the royal tent made of sheepskin, the roaring fire made the tent as warm as early summer.
Yan Liang was among them, so he didn¡¯t need to wear cotton-padded clothes at all. He only wore a thin shirt, lying carelessly on the couch, drinking fine wine and eating good meat.
In front of the tent, four mothers and daughters, Fu Hong, Baozhu, Shi Lan and Sha Zhen, dressed in translucent gauze, were shaking their bellies and dancing in a Western-style dance amidst the melodious music of Hu.
Beside him, the two daughters Yue Sha and Dai Qisi were kneeling beside him, serving wine and meat all the time, and serving Yan Liang diligently.
It¡¯s freezing cold outside, but it¡¯s warm as spring inside the tent.
The wine and wine are entrance, holding the left and right, and the beauty in front of him dances graceful. What else is more painful than this. - Didn't finish reading?
