    The relationship between men and women is like a layer of window paper.  As a talented and strategic emperor, Li Yuan's personal life was almost impeccable in the eyes of many Qin people. The three imperial concubines who followed him when he started his career had deep feelings for each other, and it was almost impossible to see the past.  The scene of swords and swords in the palace is truly a model compared to the previous emperors of Qin.  Of course, if the affair between Li Yuan and Yan Feng is exposed, it will immediately cause criticism in the Qin State. No matter what era it is, there will always be a shortage of defenders. The eldest princess of the Qin Dynasty had an affair with her father.  The title is enough to attract attention.  As for whether Li Yuan and Yan Feng are related by blood, it is not important in the eyes of those who defend the Tao. What is important is that the Shenwu Emperor who has always made them feel like a saint finally made a mistake, and they only eat with one mouth.  The guy, after being silent for a long time, has another use.  This is taboo.  It is not allowed by morality, but it often makes people think about it.  Li Yuan didn't pay attention to what the gossips and boring people said. With his identity, he didn't bother to pay attention to these private affairs.  Besides, if Li Yuan doesn't pay attention, Yan Le, a special and cheap father-in-law, will never allow those who throw dirty water at his daughter.  In the city of Chang'an in the east.  The relationship between Li Yuan and Yan Feng will become the focus of discussion.  Xin'an City in the West.  This kind of combination between them will be replaced by another word, that is: love.  Westerners are more open-minded about love than Easterners. In neighboring Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty brothers and sisters, fathers, daughters, and mothers often staged heart-stirring dramas.  Li Yuan's love affair was nothing at all.  ¡ª¡ª.  Dikar and Gemisius arrived in Xin'an City in late February.  When he saw a long black line standing on the ground from a distance, Gemisius looked excited, pointed his hands to his chest, and kept mumbling to himself.  The city of the East!  ?For Greek scholars, it is a mysterious mystery.  This kind of huge circular city wall needs to be built in a beautiful and unified way, and the outer city, inner city, and urn city must be clearly distinguished, and towers, watchtowers, and battlements must be built in different places.  The manpower and hours it took made the Greeks who were just city-states feel horrible just thinking about it.  This is the difference between the power of a country and the power of a city.  The Greeks under the loose city-state alliance system had free personalities and open minds, but because of this, they were afraid of expansion and unification.  After Jia Yi entered the city.  After taking a short rest, he introduced the two Greek scholars to Li Yuan. This was the biggest achievement of his mission to Greece. Whether he came by deception or by Dikar and others on purpose, as long as he came, it was Jia Yi's ability.  .  As for the envy and jealousy of his colleagues who couldn't bear the hardships, Jia Yi didn't take it to heart.  Li Yuan showed enough sincerity for the arrival of the two disciples of Aristotle. From his feelings, Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization and an important node in human progress in the world. It is also important for the history of mankind.  Of course we must respect the great sages.  Dikar and the others did not expect that there would be such a great king in the far east who would be interested in their theoretical works.  While happy.  The Greeks began to tell Li Yuan endlessly about their misfortunes over the years.  After the Macedonians occupied Greece, they adopted a divide-and-rule strategy against the Greeks. Among them, Sparta, representing the Peloponnesian League, received strong support, while Athens, representing the Delian League, was suppressed.  It was precisely because of this relationship that Aristotle was brutally killed at an advanced age.  The Emperor of the East honored the virtuous corporal. This moved Dikar and Gemisius who had been neglected for a long time. Since the death of Alexander, in the Kingdom of Macedonia, one generation of kings has been inferior to the other, and the corresponding emphasis on natural science, history and humanities has also been inferior.  , which made life at Lyceum Academy very difficult.  A little talk.  This made Dikar and Gemisius have a deep interest in Eastern civilization. At Li Yuan's suggestion, these two Western sages prepared to leave for Chang'an, the eastern capital, to experience the Yanhuang culture that was different from the Greek culture.  Civilization, Jia Yi was appointed by Li Yuan as the plenipotentiary accompanying ambassador, and was responsible for the safety and food and daily life of the two Greek scholars along the way.  This mission to Greece gave Jia Yi the first opportunity to show his abilities alone, and Li Yuan also repeatedly warned Jia Yi, suggesting that he would find a way to keep these two great scholars for Qin.  In Xin'an City.  Qin State is building a second comprehensive school with many students. What is lacking now is truly knowledgeable teachers, and Dikar and Gemisius are the best choices.  And through these two?, Li Yuan also hoped to deceive more Western sages from Lyceum Academy.  According to his idea, there is no way out for these people staying in Greece, a lifeless place with constant civil strife. It is better to change places and go to Xin'an City to make use of the remaining heat. This is also of great significance to inheriting and carrying forward the civilization of ancient Greece.  ¡ª¡ª.  The same February.  Constantinople in the eastern Balkans.  A confrontation occurred between the Roman army and the Qin army. After more than 20 days of arduous trekking in the ice and snow, 10,000 Gauls led by Roman General Peterius finally reached the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula from the west.  Along the way, Peterius could occasionally encounter Thracians who had been defeated from Constantinople, and the accounts of these defeated troops shocked him.  "The Qin people really took just one night to capture Constantinople, which is known as the undefeatable city. How is this possible? You must know that there are still 5,000 Thracian soldiers in the city. According to Peterius's imagination,  Under the protection of five thousand troops, if the siege troops want to capture the city, they must have at least five times more troops. Moreover, it will not take three or two days to fall, but at least half a month -!  ¡± With doubts, Peterius led his troops to Constantinople.  The easternmost city on the European continent that appeared in front of him was built on a high hill near the sea. Its terrain was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was quite impressive. There was a black flag with a gold edge flying on top of the city.  , which made him feel an invisible pressure.  "Come here, send a messenger into the city and say that General Peterius of Rome will have a meeting with the Qin commander, no later than noon tomorrow -!" Although he was surprised by the appearance of the Qin people, Peterius still  Full of confidence, this time he did not come alone. He was followed by ten thousand Gallic warriors fighting in Europe. These Roman soldiers were all equipped with copper armor to protect their chests, heads and other vital parts, and the weapons in their hands  Javelins, daggers and shields were sophisticated combat tools in the Roman army. With these backings, Peterius was convinced that the Qin commanders guarding the city were under more pressure than he was.  News of the arrival of the Roman army.  A day and a half ago, they were sent back by the Qin army scouts who came out. The Qin army's chief general Cao Xin and deputy general Ji Xin, who were guarding Constantinople, immediately gathered all their generals and staff to discuss countermeasures.  Unlike in the past when there were reinforcements, before the Qin navy was established, the Qin army standing alone on the west bank of the strait needed to face all possible enemies independently.  "General, our staff's plan is to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with the Roman generals tomorrow to deploy an ambush consisting of thunder troops, crossbowmen and spearmen at a suitable location. If there is a change at that time, we can take advantage of the opportunity.  Fight out and capture the enemy general in one fell swoop. As long as you succeed, the Roman crowd will be leaderless and will collapse without a fight." Among the generals, a young captain who looked like a military commander said loudly.  "His!" This proposal was said, and all the generals who listened took a deep breath.  The young man's idea of ??capturing the thief and the king is really bold. If successful, it will indeed be able to relieve the current crisis in Constantinople in one fell swoop. However, if this plan fails, it will undoubtedly trigger a fierce battle between the Qin army and the Roman army.  If the situation expands, it may even lead to several times the enemy's attack.  "This plan is inappropriate. Our sea route still lacks fleet protection. If we are besieged by the enemy for a long time, we will fall into a difficult and protracted war. This is not suitable for your Majesty's strategy. Since the Romans want to negotiate,  Then just promise him once and listen to what suggestions they have." Ji Xin thought about it and advised Cao Xin.  Cao Xin was generous and generous, and Ji Xin cooperated with him very well. Ji Xin did not dare to hide the slightest hint of a strategy involving the overall situation. His advice was very different from the idea of ??the young staff officer just now.  , this different point of view also plunged the Qin army generals into a debate.  Cao Xin kept a straight face and remained silent for a long time. The generals below were talking about each other, which made him a little uneasy. To be honest, he really didn't like the task of negotiation. According to his past temperament, Cao Xin wanted to  If you want to fight for benefits, you have to fight desperately on the battlefield with real swords and guns.  But now, he is no longer just a vanguard general receiving orders, but the commander-in-chief of a city. The safety of the more than 20,000 generals in the city is tied to him.  "General Cao Xin, if you can be selected as the general to defend the city, what I value is your ability and your wisdom, not how many enemy heads you have killed on the battlefield. Do you understand this?  " "Constantinople is an important support point for our Great Qin to base on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait. Its existence is related to the future development and survival of our Great Qin, and is related to the rise and fall of our strength with the foreign countries in the West. So, what are you doing?  When making any decision, first think about these words of mine -??!  " Li Yuan's words of advice echoed in Cao Xin's ears. They were what Li Yuan said when he left Cao Xin alone during the meeting in Xiyong City. Cao Xin might still be conflicted by what others said, but he kept Li Yuan's words in mind.  "General Ji, please go and make arrangements. I will lead my troops out of the city to hold talks with the Romans at noon tomorrow. As for what to talk about and how to talk about it, it depends on the sincerity of the Romans. Our Qin generals are never afraid of any threats.  We welcome those who want to negotiate, and we are not afraid of those who want to fight.  "Cao Xin said loudly.
