    Sun Jian frowned slightly, glanced at his eldest son, and said in a deep voice, "The military order we received is to rush to the destination before the designated time. It would be best if there were no enemy troops to block us along the way. How can you be so competitive?  Don't you want to delay the military plane?" "Yes." The young Sun Ce lowered his head hurriedly and said, "I understand." Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to the distant coastline again.  He said aloud, "It's not that these Daqin people don't have navy, it's just that they are afraid of the might of our army and dare not approach to fight." After a pause, he focused his eyes on his eldest son, and said seriously, "In this world, there are only a few brave men.  It has little effect in a real decisive battle. Only strong strength is the foundation of everything. Our army is invincible in the world at the moment. You should study the art of war and strategy in the future and don't think about hunting all day long. Do you understand?  "Yes." Sun Ce bowed respectfully and said, "I understand, I must obey my father's teachings." "Yes." Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to the distant sea and sky.  He said softly, "Since we are all here, it is not far from the place designated by the Taiwei, right?" When Sun Jian's army slowly passed through the Bosporus and reached the shore of the Asia Minor Peninsula, it had already  The Han army waiting here set off a roar of cheers.  "Your Majesty Taiwei!" The mature and steady Jia Xu's voice also became excited, "Our navy has finally arrived!" No wonder these people were so excited.  After sweeping across the entire Asia Minor Peninsula, the huge Han army fell into a vicious circle of invincibility.  There are no enemies that can be directly contacted from all directions.  Either the land they occupy is the surrendered indigenous people.  If you want to continue attacking the Romans, you must cross the vast sea.  It was not until this time that the generals of the Han army understood how important the navy was.  Just like the narrow Dardanelles Strait.  The magnificent Byzantine city on the other side can be seen clearly, but the powerful army cannot get through.  The reason is very simple. A Roman navy with no more than a hundred small boats blocked the strait, and the suppressed Han army did not dare to board the boat to cross the sea!  I can only watch helplessly from the shore.  This clearly occupies an absolute advantage.  But the feeling of being helpless against an enemy so close was really terrible.  Moreover, it also contains huge threats.  Those Romans could go anywhere by sea.  But the Han army could only passively pursue them everywhere.  Often when the army arrived, the Romans had already burned, killed, looted and boarded the ships and left.  This was still a time when the enemy had few soldiers and ships.  If the enemy's main army comes over, wouldn't it be more passive?     fine.  All these worries and worries disappeared with the arrival of Sun Jian's navy.  "Very good." Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction.  With the huge navy, the Roman Empire will lose its last support force!  Mediterranean.  There is no way to stop the Han army from advancing!  "Everyone be prepared." Gao Yang shouted loudly to all the generals around him, "Three days! After the navy rests for three days, we will attack with a large army and cross the sea to capture Byzantium!" How important is the geographical location of Byzantium?  , anyone who can read a map can know it.  This is a real chokepoint.  Being stuck here is equivalent to occupying the junction of Europe and Asia, blocking the connection between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.  Whether by land or sea, this is the center of Eastern Europe.  The Strait Fleet belonging to the Thrace province of the Roman Empire was completely destroyed by the huge Han navy without any accident.  The most powerful warship in the age of sail built with modern industrial technology is completely invincible here.  Not to mention the powerful weapons equipped, even if they are just compared in size, the strong ships of the Han Navy can sink all the Roman warships with just one ram!  After the strait was blocked, the desperate Roman Strait Fleet launched a desperate charge towards the Han Navy.  Unfortunately.  Their ships were too small, their equipment was too poor, and they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.  Unsurprisingly, they were all defeated by the Han navy!  This huge fleet, which has traveled tens of thousands of miles and created an unprecedented glorious voyage, still maintains a high combat level and strong morale.  They are so powerful that they drive their enemies to despair.  The Romans followed the governor in Asia Minor and were completely wiped out before the main army of the Thrace province.  After losing the obstruction of the fleet, the Han army that crossed the sea took Byzantium, this extremely important city, with almost no effort.  After occupying Byzantium and blocking the attack route from the north.  Gao Yang led his army on the navy's warships and sailed toward the Greek Peninsula on the other side of the Aegean Sea!  Greece, the origin of Western civilizationThe place of origin.  An extremely glorious ancient civilization was born on this small peninsula, and the Greeks once traveled all over the world.  Before the Romans they had conquered every known land.  The most typical representative is Alexander's expedition.  The ancient Greeks once created countless brilliance.  Not much to say about those, philosophy, and art.  Speaking of military aspects alone, the powerful ancient Greek federation had already achieved a glorious victory in the Trojan War as early as the mythical age more than a thousand years ago.  The civilization of Asia Minor was burned to the ground.  They also defeated the extremely powerful ancient Persian Empire and dragged this huge empire spanning three continents to death.  The ancient Greek army was extremely powerful, especially the world-famous Spartan warriors who were the chosen warriors.  only.  All this glory is already gone by now.  After the rise of the Roman Empire, the collapse of the Greeks became unstoppable.  When all of Greece was occupied, the birthplace of Europe's oldest civilization completely declined.  Everything disappeared, leaving only the magnificent and huge temple ruins everywhere still telling the world about their former glory and glory.  "Do you know the reason for the decline of the Greeks?" Outside the city of Athens, in the magnificent temple.  Gao Yang raised his hand and caressed the stone pillars bearing the traces of endless time, and asked softly.  ¡°Isn¡¯t it because of the rise of the Romans?¡± Yuan Dian asked curiously.  "Haha." Gao Yang smiled and shook his head.  He raised his head and looked at this magnificent temple built on a high mountain. He walked towards the temple gate and looked down at the magnificent city at the foot of the mountain, which still had thick smoke rising from many places.  Gao Yang felt the coolness and fishy smell of the sea breeze and said, "When the Spartans occupied this city during the Peloponnesian War, the future of the Greeks was completely cut off. Even  The Spartan warriors, whose brains were full of muscles, only knew how to govern a country. When the city of Athens, the only source of civilization in the Greek world, fell, the Greeks lost their civilization.  . Entering the Age of Ignorance. " "You mean the decline of the Greeks was due to the civil war?" Yuan Dian asked softly.  Gao Yang smiled, staring at the city at the foot of the mountain that carried thousands of years of glorious history, and said with a smile, "With the passage of time, the unification of various Greek city-states is inevitable. But the unification of Greece by the Spartans is inevitable.  A disaster. In fact, the strength of the Greeks is really very strong, even if they can be integrated with the strength of Hannibal and Carthage at their peak.  , then there will be nothing wrong with the Romans." "What a pity," Yuan Dian said softly.  "There is nothing pity about this." Gao Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "Everyone must be responsible for everything they have done. This is a choice of fate. The Greeks themselves chose this path, then they have to bear the responsibility  This consequence. It¡¯s a pity that this word doesn¡¯t exist.¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless to talk about it now, right?¡± Yuandian asked curiously. ¡°Everything here belongs to you.¡± Gao Yang looked up at this building that represents the glory of the Greeks.  Past the temple, he smiled and said, "Everything in the world belongs to the victor." The Romans encountered a similar situation in Greece as in Egypt.  After the Greeks, who had been enslaved for many years, saw how powerful the foreign armies came from afar, rebel forces everywhere suddenly surged.  The Greeks had longed to be free from Roman rule for too long.  The arrival of the Han Legion gave them the long-awaited hope!  Gao Yang¡¯s army was unequivocal. After landing on the Marathon seaside, more than 40 kilometers northeast of Athens, it quickly defeated the Roman legions stationed here.  Then the army marched towards the city of Athens.  After the huge army surrounded the city of Athens, it carried out fierce attacks without interruption for three days.  They all used heavy siege equipment such as catapults and crossbows to violently destroy the defenses on the city walls.  Of course, with the accuracy of the instruments of this era, many stones and other things fell into the city of Athens.  Living in a peaceful and tranquil environment all year round, the Athenians have long forgotten the cruelty of war.  They were terrified of the attack by such a huge foreign army and that the entire city would be destroyed in the flames of war.  Therefore, after their persuasion failed, they launched a large-scale rebellion against the Roman garrison, which had been greatly reduced in strength after the failure of the Battle of Marathon.  The Athenians successfully seized control of the entire city and arrested all the Roman governors and nobles.  Then, these Athenians opened the city gate and chose to surrender to Gao Yang.  Gao Yang successfully took over the slightly damaged city of Athens and agreed to the Athenians' request that they would not plunder on a large scale.    The successful occupation of the city of Athens was an earthquake-like shake for the entire Greek Peninsula.  With the fall of Athens and the destruction of the main garrison of the Roman Empire, Roman rule on the Greek peninsula quickly declined.  Rebellious forces are surging everywhere, and almost every day someone calls himself a king.  Gao Yang had no sympathy for these careerists and fools who took advantage of the chaos.  However, he did not choose to eliminate these people immediately.  When these people took the initiative to send letters of surrender, Gao Yang accepted them with a smile.  For Gao Yang, the most important enemy at this moment is still the powerful Romans.  As for these small fish and shrimps, that is a matter for Cao Cao, the future governor of Western Europe.  (To be continued)
