    The Great Qin Fleet sets off!  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The hurricanes in the Mediterranean Sea could not stop the Qin soldiers from fighting the sea with great enthusiasm. The days of the Romans dominating the Mediterranean Sea were coming to an end.  After the Qin fleet left, the sea returned to calm. The once somewhat chaotic fishermen once again focused their attention on the fish under the sea. For them who were busy making a living, every moment was extremely precious.  , a moment of negligence may let the fish run away, and by that time, the old, young, wife and children at home will have no choice but to go hungry.  However, there are exceptions among fishing boats. After watching for a while, the fishermen on one or two boats were obviously absent-minded. They hurriedly picked up the fishing nets and drove away quickly in the empty fishing boats.  Looking towards the sea from the height of the cliff, the three Qin soldiers in charge of the watch stared at the unusual fishing boat for a while, and one of them quickly ran down the mountain towards the Qin camp in Troy Port.  Inside the Troy camp.  Admiral Luan Bu was sipping tea with a middle-aged man in black in the hall. Judging from the seats of both parties, Luan Bu was at the bottom, while the middle-aged man was sitting at the top. Judging from the expressions of both parties, Luan Bu was sitting at the bottom.  Bu was also respectful and carefully answered the other party's questions as a subordinate.  "Mr. Meng, as you expected, there are Roman scouts among the fishing boats. Did we neglect this time?" Luan Bu said anxiously while wiping his sweat.  The news brought back by the three watch soldiers made Luan Bu break into a cold sweat. If the mysterious man in front of him hadn't arrived in time, the whereabouts of the Great Qin fleet would have been exposed.  The dark room and the scouts.  Another secret war between Da Qin and Rome is also quietly starting.  The battlefield for hegemony.  Two armies confront each other.  One is the bloody battle of fighting each other, and the other is the secret battle where gunpowder can't be seen.  This middle-aged man in black is the current head of the Qin State's Military Intelligence Department, the former general of the border army, Meng Hu.  This only descendant of the Meng family who could have grown up to guard one of the princes like Han Xin and Li Zhongxiang, is now willing to silently stay behind Li Yuan and become an important and indispensable chess piece.  The battlefield is like a chess game.  If Han Xin and Li Zhongxiang are chariots, then Meng Hu and Yan Le are the taxis guarding Li Yuan. One of them is in charge of the outside and the other is in charge of the inside.  Responsible for Daqin's domestic and foreign intelligence work.  "General Gan, please give me a report. As for the words of thanks, please leave it to your Majesty to explain. I will send someone to inform you of the situation of the Roman fleet in time. When the time comes, be more ruthless and don't waste the brothers in the Military Intelligence Department.  "My hard work." Meng Hu took a sip of tea and said calmly.  ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sir, I will understand. I will drive away the fishing boats from the port area¡ª¡ª.¡± Luan Bu confessed hastily.  "Well, general, you don't have to be like this. Although the Romans sent scouts, it doesn't matter if we let them see enough. As for what to see clearly, the general will not know it!" Meng Hu frowned slightly and said.  "I didn't think it through well, sir, thank you for reminding me." Luan Bu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized.  Marching and fighting are all about killing one battle based on strength, but the other front in the secret battle is full of tricks and deceit.  Meng Hu's intention was very clear, which was to use his tactics to make the Romans lose their correct judgment in the face of wrong intelligence.  ¡ª¡ª.  Mediterranean summer.  It is the hot season, and all the men and women have nothing on their bodies except a wisp of cloth to cover their shame.  Nothing more.  If there was no important war, the great slave owners of Rome were really unwilling to go to sea to bear the blazing sun. What they yearned for more was to hide in the cool cliff caves and call a few young and innocent female slaves.  Then there was a lot of nonsense.  It is a pity that Crassus, the great slave owner in Naples in the south of Rome, will not be able to enjoy this pleasure this year. As the commander of the Roman fleet, his life has become extremely difficult since the destruction of the Greer fleet.  As soon as Pia took office, he faced the squeeze of the Qin State and its allies. Feeling the pressure, the young consul had nowhere to vent his anger. Naturally, he used Crassus, who had denied Rome's opportunity, as a scapegoat.  Unable to stay in the Apennine Peninsula, Crassus had no choice but to lead his men to wander around the Aegean Sea, hoping that one day he would be lucky and find the Qin Navy to avenge him.  Athens.  The free trade city on the Greek peninsula, with its glorious past, the footprints of many philosophical sages, and its developed economy and trade, has left too many memories for this city.  The main supply port of the Roman fleet in the Aegean Sea was Athens. Although it was not directly adjacent to the ocean, it was?With the existence of a special harbor, Roman warships were able to park their main warships in the outer sea, while the remaining small ships sailed into the inner harbor to enjoy the wonderful pleasure brought by this free city.  In the tavern on the pier.  It was crowded. Sailors, rowers, and businessmen from all over the place gathered here, talking to each other, and making fun of what they had seen and heard a while ago.  "What did you say, the Qin fleet appeared?" In a corner of the tavern, Crassus, the commander of the Roman fleet, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, grabbed the scout who reported the news and asked.  "General, this is definitely not wrong. My subordinates personally saw more than 30 large ships leaving the Dardanelles on a fishing boat." The Roman scout who was caught by his shirt blushed.  , argued hurriedly.  Crassus was obviously half drunk, and he couldn't control the strength of his hands. If he used any more force, the unlucky scout would die.  "Thirty ships, it seems that the big fish has finally come out. Brothers, let's go!" Crassus was stunned for a long time before he shouted and threw the wine vessel to the ground.  ¡°My lord, please stay a few more days, and then some fresh young ones will come¡ª¡ª!¡± Seeing a large group of drinkers about to leave, the tavern owner who was unwilling to let his big customers run away couldn¡¯t help but stop him at the door.  "Get away, fat pig!" Crassus shouted angrily.  The news of the Qin fleet's departure from the port made the Roman fleet commander who was struggling to find an opponent be ecstatic. At this time, not to mention the chubby tavern owner, even the most coquettish woman could not move Crassus's determined heart.  Heart.  Outside the Port of Athens.  The Roman fleet set sail, and in their haste to attack, they only kept ten days' worth of food and water in the cabin. Although these supplies were a little short, Crassus didn't care. There were many islands in the Aegean Sea, although not every island was large.  There are sufficient supply areas on the island, but as long as the Qin fleet can be found within ten days, enduring it for a few days is nothing.  Fat pig!  The tavern owner's nose turned red after being scolded, and he stared blankly at Crassus and others. After a while, he suddenly ran into the tavern quickly, and then rushed to a thin man sitting in the corner.  The tall man spoke.  "Sir, only ten of the Roman drinking barrels are drinkable. The remaining five are filled with sea water. If not for time and for fear of being discovered, my subordinates can fill more. And those  The dried meat brought on board is almost inedible. If the Romans ate it, getting sick would be a trivial matter, but poisoning would be a serious matter¡ª" the owner of the Red Nose Tavern said cautiously.  "Saidi, you did a good job in this matter. There will be a reward after a while there. Remember, as long as you do good things for the Qin Dynasty, we orientals are trustworthy and will never forget our old friends." The tall and thin man  As the man spoke, he stood up, with a black cloak draped around him, making him look like a ghost.  "Don't worry, sir. If there is any trouble in the villain's tavern, we will inform you immediately." Saidi, the red-nosed boss, was excited and rubbed his hands vigorously.  Saidi is a native of Athens, and his ancestors were all honest businessmen. This tavern was passed down from his grandparents, and it has been in business for more than a hundred years.  However, living is not easy.  Especially opening a tavern in a complex place like the Freeport Terminal is impossible without some background and strong support.  A year ago, Saidi's business went bankrupt. Just as he was standing on the streets of Athens in a daze, about to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea, the oriental man who didn't even leave his name saved him and gave him a batch of food that was enough to resume business.  Not only that, after the business resumed, Sadie was surprised to find that the gangsters who used to come to the pub to cause trouble were all gone.  Then, Saidi willingly became an intelligence station set up by Qin in Athens. How many such places did Qin have on the Greek Peninsula? Saidi didn¡¯t know, and he didn¡¯t want to know, from the words of the guests who came and went from the tavern.  , Saidi has only one feeling, that is, the mysterious big country in the East is showing more and more deterrent power in the Mediterranean area.  Egypt fell, and the Ptolemaic Kingdom, once famous for the marriage of fathers and daughters, brother and sister, also ceased to exist with the disappearance of Ptolemy V.  The Kingdom of Macedonia no longer existed. Although the Romans briefly occupied Pella, it was Qin who finally gained the Balkan Peninsula.  The situation on the Greek peninsula was also turbulent at this time. The power of the Romans, the independent forces of various city-states, and unknown ambitious elements were all eyeing this land where an ancient and splendid civilization was born. Among these forces,  The Qin people were the last to enter, but they were the most tenacious force.  Among the upper-class Greek figures, most of the disciples of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle at the Lyceum Academy in Athens had already turned their hearts to Qin.Among them, Dikal, Gemisius and others even took their students to the occupied areas of Qin; while ordinary civilians like Saidi compared the importance of taxation between Qin and Rome.  While hesitating whether to obey the eastern invaders of different skin colors or choose to surrender to the neighboring Romans who were of similar origins.  PS: Brothers, please code on a single machine, please vote, give me comfort and support!
