    Competition between ethnic groups is everywhere.  The abnormal changes among the ethnic groups on the northern border did not alarm Scipio. To the civilized Romans, the tribes in the north, whether they were Gauls, Saxons, or Germans, were all barbarians.  The purpose of conquering them was just to obtain more slaves.  The struggle for hegemony on land has just begun its magnificent chapter.  The battle at sea has shown signs of intensification. Crassus, who had been taught a lesson, impatiently led the main force of the fleet to go to sea to find a fight. However, war at sea is not as good as on land. The vast ocean is full of passages, and it is impossible to fight on land.  Still holding the pass, the enemy is forced to fight.  The Roman fleet returned several times along the Aegean Sea. In addition to disturbing the fishing boats along the coast, it did not even detect the shadow of the Qin fleet. As for blocking the port of Troy to fight, Crassus was not confused and fought far away from home.  , once the fleet's supplies are insufficient, no matter how powerful the Roman fleet is, it can only become a prisoner of the opponent.  ¡ª¡ª.     Time flies.  As the scorching Mediterranean summer comes to an end, the powder keg of the Balkans finally explodes.  The Thracian general Spartacus led seven thousand warriors, crossed the Alps with fearless courage, and appeared on the plateau in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula. If it was just such an attack, the Romans would not take it seriously, and only seven thousand people  The team cannot afford to make any big waves.  But something unexpected happened soon. In the important northern town of Milan, Spartacus rescued slaves from dozens of manors and brought slaves of various nationalities, including Thracians, into these manors.  Get organized.  Almost instantly, an army of 50,000 slaves appeared in the territory of the Roman Republic.  During August.  The slave troops besieged Milan for several days. Spartacus decided to abandon the siege strategy and instead sought a direct route to Rome, the largest city and capital of Rome in the southern Apennine Peninsula.  Regarding his strategic concept, Han Anguo, the staff officer of the Qin Army who accompanied the army, expressed different opinions.  According to Han Anguo's thinking, although the Thracian slave army was large in number, there was a considerable gap between it and the regular army in terms of equipment and personnel quality. When they started the uprising, they did so with a single spirit.  In addition, the Romans were caught off guard, and they began to grow stronger.  But after the Romans discovered the destructive power of this slave army, Scipio's military vision would never allow Spartacus to take advantage of it.  Therefore, the safest strategy should be to return from the original route and cross the northern mountains again.  Return to the Balkans, where the slave army can be supported by the Qin army without falling into the dilemma of fighting alone.  At the same time, the addition of this army can also speed up the unification of the Balkan Peninsula. At this time, Peterius's Gallic Army was suppressed by Cao Xin's Qin army in the Pella area.  It is a pity.  Han Anguo's idea was not adopted. The Thracians were dazzled by the news of successive victories. Under the persuasion of his subordinates, Spartacus became enthusiastic and began to think about establishing a kingdom on the Apennine Peninsula.  The great kingdom of the Thracians.  In desperation, Han Anguo had to separate from Spartacus.  He led the Qin army's staff team to return.  At the end of August, the Roman consul Scipio finally gathered enough troops to deal with the slave revolt.  Under the city of Rome, Spartacus's team was besieged by 150,000 Roman troops. More than 40,000 people were killed in the entire army. Spartacus only led the remnant of less than 10,000 troops to break out.  At this time, if the inertia of history is followed, Spartacus will choose to continue marching south, hoping to use pirate ships to cross the sea and return to his hometown. Later development was due to the rebellion of the pirates, so that they had to embark on the journey again.  On the difficult road northward by land, the entire slave army was eventually wiped out.  Fortunately, the young Spartacus finally came to his senses at this time. Han Anguo's words of persuasion and Li Yuan's warning before leaving for the expedition echoed in his heart. The remaining slave rebels finally decided to follow the  Return to the north along the way south, and then wait for an opportunity to cross back over the Alps.  ????????????????????????????????????  ¡ª¡ª.  The Balkan Peninsula.  Pella, the former capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia, was on the verge of collapse under the siege of the Qin army from three sides.  Petereus, who was trapped in the city, could not have imagined that the majestic Roman general and commander of the Gallic Legion, who once had nearly 20,000 warriors under his command, would be beaten like a turtle and could only rely on city walls and ramparts to protect himself.  What's even more ironic is that these barriers were the basis of Philip IV's stubborn resistance just a few years ago.  The Gallic Legion was once powerful, but it also depends on what they are facing.What kind of opponent, if it was just Cao Xin, the general of the Qin army, Peterius could handle it even if he was at a disadvantage. After all, the strong bodies of the Gauls are not vegetarians, but this time, the Qin army dispatched enough troops.  There were 100,000 people, and the leader of this army of Qin's Western Expedition was actually the famous Shenwu Emperor Li Yuan.     correct.  Li Yuan personally recruited the troops.  This news was finally confirmed by several Gallic soldiers who fought back in bloody battles after Peterius paid the price of four thousand soldiers.  After careful preparation, Li Yuan deceived the Romans who were busy quelling the domestic chaos. While the Qin State announced the grand occasion of Emperor Shenwu meeting envoys from various places in Xin'an City, it secretly dispatched troops to form a new expedition to Europe.  Expeditionary Force, this elite division is composed of cavalry from Luo Jia's Army, heavy infantry from Cao Xin's Army, as well as some mechanical crossbowmen and sky thunder soldiers. The generals in the army are also gathered together.  Luo Jia and Cao Xin are Li Yuan's right-hand men, Li Zuoche is his staff officer, Yang Yu, Zhou Ping, and Ji Xin are the elite generals of the younger generation. At the same time, there are also veteran generals such as Zhong Limei and Ji Bu who are unwilling to be lonely.  They traveled thousands of miles from the distant Guanzhong and Guandong areas to Eastern Europe.  The battle of Guan Jian for the Qin Dynasty to unify the Eurasian continent is about to begin.  As an old soldier, there is nothing more proud than seeing the younger generation win on the battlefield. Zhong Limei and Ji Bu now only hope that they can be by Li Yuan's side and use their experience to remind these young people from time to time, so that  They are not proud of small victories and will never forget their success until the last minute.  In the face of such a lineup, Petereus fought alone and was unable to support himself. His Gallic army was beaten from 30,000 to less than 5,000. However, he asked Scipio to send reinforcements to no avail.  Finally, Peterius gave up.  "Grand Consul Scipio, I, Peterius, have fought to the end and I am worthy of you. Now, it is time to find a way out for the Gauls." On September 3, under the persuasion of Gaul to surrender its troops,  , Peterius decided to surrender the city. The remaining approximately 4,000 Gallic soldiers in the city all laid down their weapons, took off their armor and tassels symbolizing Roman soldiers, and neatly walked out of the walls of Pella and marched toward the city.  The Qin army outside surrendered.  It was his old rival Cao Xin who accepted Peterius' letter of surrender.  This time, Cao Xin did not mean to make fun of his old friend in the Constantinople negotiations.  Now that Peterius has surrendered, he will no longer be an enemy, but a comrade who can fight side by side. The Gauls can also become another possible ally of Qin on the French Peninsula, and once they are organized  , can form a restraining force that cannot be ignored in the northwest of Rome.  Of course, the premise of all this is that this guy Peterius must be sensible. If he is determined to serve the Romans, Li Yuan does not mind killing a surrendered general.  ¡ª¡ª.  The Balkan War.  It ended with the destruction of the Gallic Legion.  After being ordered by Scipio, the Crassus fleet, which came to the Adriatic Gulf for reinforcements, circled the outer bay of Pella for seven days, but no Gauls were seen escaping by sea.  "This bastard Peterius actually betrayed us. It's really unforgivable." After finally finding out the news of the surrender of the Gallic Legion, Crassus couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although he cursed Petereus,  But in my heart I was very happy.  The relationship between Crassus and Peterius has always been at odds. It is natural for a country to have conflicts between the navy and the army, because resources and supplies are rationed, and if one party is satisfied, the other party will starve.  Over the years, Crassus's fleet has developed rapidly, while Peterius's Gallic Legion has been repeatedly squeezed and suppressed by the Roman army because of its foreign relations.  The pressure of failing to rescue the Gallic legions ceased to exist due to the surrender of Peterius. Crassus's fleet sailed eastward. For the Roman navy, finding the Qin fleet that defeated Greer was their most important task.  As for other things, they are not important.  The southern foothills of the Alps.  In the city of Milan.  The Roman consul Scipio lay in the arms of his mistress Cleopatra with a tired face, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes. Over the past few days, the fierce battles with the Spartacus slave team had consumed this man.  The Archon has too much energy, which makes it difficult for him to have the energy and physical strength to satisfy the needs of a wolf-like woman.  "Kara, tell me, the people of Qin really look like monkeys. Can they not only climb trees, but also scream like monkeys?" Scipio asked in a slow voice.  For everything about Qin, Scipio went from being interested to having to understand it. The only change in the process was that Qin continued to show aggressive momentum, but even so, Scipio also looked down on the Qin people.??The reason is simply that he is a fervent supporter of racism.  Scipio believed that in this world, only white people are the most superior race. As for yellow people and black people, they are inferior races and are born to be enslaved.
