    The Qin State in the east is rising slowly like a rising sun.  Its light exudes a dazzling brilliance. Under this endless halo, figures who have left their mark on history, such as Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Li Zuoche, and Li Zhongxiang, are showing off with a new look and attitude.  Rewrite their lives.  Among these brilliant names, Li Yuan¡¯s figure is the brightest one among the Big Dipper. Without his guidance, other constellations will lose their goal of catching up.  Looking at Li Yuan who was explaining the situation and geography of various places in the West to the generals of the Qin army, Han Xin looked solemn and felt restless in his heart. From the inside, Han Xin was a very proud man, especially in terms of using troops to fight, and his attitude towards fighter planes.  Capture, analysis of the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and grasp of the mentality of the enemy generals have all reached the level of proficiency.  But facing Li Yuan, Han Xin's self-confidence dropped to a low point. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, these temporary heroes, fell like meteors one by one. Han Xin asked himself, although he was unparalleled in resourcefulness, he would not be able to defeat the Son of Heaven who often staged comebacks.  I'm afraid there won't be any good fruit in front of me.  "King Yan, next, your main goal is to continue to press westward and strive to completely eliminate the Rakshasa people (Slavs) in the Yenisei and Volga rivers in three years, thereby forcing these  The nation has to move west, do you understand?" Li Yuan finished talking about the human geography of Europe and looked at Han Xin with bright eyes.  "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to expel them instead of annihilating them all?" Han Xin asked with confusion on his face.  The result of eviction.  It is very likely that there will be sequelae, what Qin did when it was strong today.  Perhaps after a few years, they will consider other people an excuse for revenge, and if they are physically eliminated, those victims will not be able to crawl out of the underworld even if they gnash their teeth with hatred.  Li Yuan nodded: "The decisive battle between Qin and Rome is not far away. We don't have so much time to pay attention to those backward tribes and peoples. At this time, we hope to concentrate all our strength. Although your troops, King Yan, are in the north. But  Once the war gets serious, they will be mobilized to the southern battlefield at any time. "In history, the great migration movement of northern European peoples that caused the Roman Empire to fall apart took place more than a hundred years later, and the real promoter was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  It is impossible to appear in this time and space, so.  For the future of the people of Qin and to demonstrate the leading position of the Eastern nation, Li Yuan took action.  "The general will always be at your Majesty's command." Han Xin was excited. Li Yuan's words of respect for him greatly satisfied Han Xin's self-esteem.  Decisive battle with Rome¡ª¡ª.  This is not only Li Yuan¡¯s expectation, but also the goal of Han Xin and other Qin army generals.  After completing the domestic unification war, the military generals temporarily lost their goals. It was Li Yuan who once again encouraged their fighting spirit to forge ahead.  With this understanding, Han Xin has maintained a correct posture in recent years. Although he was appointed as King of Yan.  The number of soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction reached 100,000, but after receiving Li Yuan's order to go out again.  Han Xin left everything behind without hesitation and personally led his troops to fight in the ice and snow.  ¡ª¡ª.  Western Balkan Peninsula.  The ancestral holy land of the Macedonians, on the shores of Lake Ohrid, has been covered with snow for seven consecutive days, covering the valleys and hills in this area with a thick layer of white cotton.  Unlike the Romans who started their business by planting olive trees and other oil crops, the Macedonians were better at hunting. The mountainous and rugged terrain, cold and humid weather, and originally unsmooth roads allowed the Macedonian ancestors to freely roam the land.  In this land that belongs to them, they can thrive and multiply.  One hundred and fifty years ago, Alexander the Great led his Macedonian people out of the mountains and occupied the Peloponnese peninsula to the south, allowing the Greek city-states who had always looked down on Macedonia to regard them as barbarians.  Then, the Macedonian army marched eastward and annexed the powerful and declining Persian Empire. At its most glorious time, Alexander even went eastward to South Asia.  If Alexander had not died prematurely, this great empire across Europe and Asia might have really given the Macedonians an opportunity to grow as a nation. However, all this became hopeless after the death of the great hero.  Among the subsequent kings of Macedonia, Philip V was considered a very ambitious one, but now, his situation was extremely difficult. The Romans had already reached the capital city, and Macedonia was about to be destroyed.  In the city of Pella.  King Philip V of Macedonia had a sad face. The sudden war launched by the Qin army in Constantinople had not yet spread to the west coast due to weather and terrain reasons.  The betrayal of the Thracians and the wait-and-see of the Greeks made Philip V feel deep despair. Where are the reinforcements?  Looking around, the army of the ally Ptolemaic Kingdom was far away.?When we can get to the other side of the Mediterranean, it not only depends on the attitude of the other party, but also whether the sea allows it.  At this time, although sea navigation on the east coast of the Mediterranean has become more common, its timeliness and safety cannot be completely guaranteed. Considering the complexity of transporting troops by sea, it is difficult to say whether Ptolemy Pharaoh can agree to support.  As for the Qin people?  Philip V held great hopes at first, and may have made a lot of empty promises, but almost two months later, according to the envoy's report, the Qin people were practicing their army's momentum on the Anatolia Peninsula.  It's quite powerful, but there are almost no substantive actions.  In mid-December, under the strong lobbying of the Macedonian envoys, a small force of less than 3,000 people crossed the sea and landed. But now that the Thracians rebelled, the fate of this small Qin army is probably also destroyed.  This mountain is deep.  ¡ª¡ª.  Trapped in the city and unable to get any information, Philip V was desperate.  The mood of Scipio, the commander of the Roman army who surrounded him, was not much better.  Persistence is victory!  This sentence could not be more appropriate when applied to the 50,000 Roman soldiers who fought in the Eastern Expedition.  At the beginning of the war, the Roman army benefited from Scipio's unexpected tactics and had smooth sailing. However, due to the obstruction of the consul Fabian from behind, the Roman army gradually lost its initial vigor, and the bad weather made it even worse.  The Romans in the outskirts of Pella were miserable.  The Macedonians were trapped in the isolated city.  Philip V did not have the courage to leave the city. He was like a shrunken turtle, making it impossible for the Romans to fight him in a decisive battle.  Sinosefalli.  This fortress is now an important supply place in the rear of the Roman army, and Scipio's central army is located here.  "The damn yellow-skinned monkey, why did you jump out at this time, and those Thracian idiots can't even defend the city. They are so stupid." Roman commander Scipio yelled with a low face.  His expression was just like the weather this month, too thick to melt away. The siege of the Macedonian capital had been going on for two full months. The Macedonian defenders in Pella were dying bit by bit, while in the outer area  , Philip V's so-called allies also began to waver one by one.  Victory is just around the corner.  Just add more strength and push harder.  But at this critical moment, Scipio heard the news that Constantinople had been lost and occupied by the Qin army.  "General, those Thracians reported that the Qin people used a strange weapon that made a loud noise, and the city wall collapsed almost instantly. Does this mean that the Qin people really have something in their hands that we don't know about?  New weapons?" A burly man beside Scipio said.  "Petius, do you know what you are talking about? New weapons? How is this possible? With the wisdom of my great Rome, it is impossible to invent anything that can collapse the bluestone city wall at once. This is clearly those Serei  The barbarians underestimated the enemy and allowed the Qin people to take advantage of it. "Among the Roman generals, the majority were confident.  The strong man named Peterius was obviously in the minority.  "Peterus, in order to confirm your guess, I now order your 10,000 soldiers to withdraw from the city of Pella, and then take a detour around Lake Ohrid to meet the Qin people. How about it?"  Pia's voice rang out, overwhelming the commotion of the Roman generals.  "General, go and gather the soldiers now. I, Peterius, will not let the general down." The strong man's expression tightened and he gave the order loudly.  Scipio nodded, silently watching the figure of Peterius leave.  Scipio had the heart to believe the doubtful voices of the Roman generals, but deep in his heart, it seemed as if a voice was shouting to him that all this was true, and what the Thracians said was true.  .  Peterius was one of his trusted generals. The 10,000 soldiers under his command were composed of Gauls from France. Their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. If the Qin people really had any new weapons, Petereus went to test them out.  This was just enough to make the Roman generals sober up.  ¡ª¡ª.  Rome and Qin.  It's getting closer.  This made the various ethnic groups located in the war vortex panic and uneasy. The Thracians unfortunately became the first victims. This made their old rivals the Greeks feel deeply uneasy while gloating about their misfortune.  ?Ancient civilization.  "Has become a forgotten history, the free and loose loose city-state alliance of the Greeks has no advantage at all in the face of more rigorous and disciplined opponents.  More than 1,500 islands, the League of Crete in the center of the southern Aegean Sea, the Peloponnese Peninsula and SpartaThe overt and covert fighting between the three different forces, the Greek League and the Athenian-Delian League, made the Greeks even more internally strife. After Alexander's conquest, the last glory of the Greeks no longer existed.  Now, they only exist as a vassal of the Kingdom of Macedonia. In front of Philip V, the status of the Greeks is not even as good as that of the Thracians.
