In fact, all the Roman staff who understand the celestial phenomena now have twitching eyes. With such a large-scale celestial change, such a drastic change, the Han Dynasty¡¯s control over the celestial phenomena can be called a god. Under this kind of celestial phenomenon, even the Romans There is no way to fight at all! "Your Majesty, set up camp. With this level of wind and snow, even the elite of our army will lose 10 to 20% of their combat effectiveness. More importantly, we need to think about how to prevent the Han army from controlling the celestial phenomena. Otherwise, This kind of illegal force appears in every war, and there is no way we can face the Han army," Piponianus said with a thoughtful look. "This is no longer a loss of 10% to 20% of our combat effectiveness. If we cannot solve this problem, I am afraid our morale will be shaken. The other party has the ability to terminate the war at any time, which means that we basically have no way to fight them! Novelli frowned and said, "Not to mention the snow has become heavier" Most of the Romans in the Mediterranean climate had never seen snow in this era. The climate there was warm and humid. There will be no snowfall at all, and this is the first time for most of them to see strange things falling from the sky. As for the cold, it is not very serious. On the one hand, these people are protected by clouds, and on the other hand, their physical fitness is far beyond the normal level. The mere cold will not have much impact. It is just the first time they see snow. They are very interested in this strange thing. What are these white patches in the sky, but they seem to be getting bigger and bigger, especially the strong wind mixed with ice and snow, which makes the Romans inexplicably unhappy. "Stop the whole army and set up camp on the spot!" Severus' order was soon issued to all legions. In this blizzard weather, Severus had no good solution, so he was inexplicably interested in having this ability to control the celestial phenomena. The Han Dynasty has a lot of worries. At this time, Pipponsianus had already begun to think about which god should be killed so that they could have the ability to solve this celestial phenomenon. It is said that the Romans and the Central Plains people have many similarities in their views on gods. They are both pragmatic. Although the Romans are relatively respectful, but really speaking, compared to the Han Dynasty and other countries, The Romans also belong to the perennial blasphemous series. For example, the series of sending God, sending the Holy Spirit, and sending the Son to heaven For example, the Romans also did such things as canonizing gods, but the Romans were relatively reliable and would not make the original bare bones like the Central Plains. The four emperors of white, green and yellow, plus a black emperor, there is no bottom line. Generally speaking, the Romans gave ancient Roman religion a lot of face. That is to say, at the level of giving face, the gods of Rome are basically copied from ancient Greece. At most, the Romans have their own pursuit of heroism, victory, and war. Therefore, although the God of War in Roman religion is not the supreme god, he is the most popular among the Romans. A valued god. Well, attaching importance to these two words has already shown the attitude. Most of the gods in the Central Plains and Rome were in such a miserable state. After thinking about it, Pipponsnanus decided to make it simple, just go back and kill Forbes. No matter what the weather, the power of the sun can solve the problem. No matter what the weather changes, as long as the sun comes out, the problem can be solved. The problem is that the Mediterranean Sea is too humid, so it¡¯s better to get some sunshine. Guan Hai ran all the way to catch up with the retreating Han troops. In this wave, the Han troops suffered heavy losses. The lightest ones were probably Wei Yan and Guan Hai. There were basically no serious losses. The Yuan family lost about three thousand elites. Of course, this was mainly due to the Scythian Army's seizing the opportunity and the wave of trials. As for the heavy infantry led by Gao Lan, the loss was not too great. It's tragic, after all, Gao Lan's talent is there to support it. The situation on Cao Zhen's side is not very good. Although his warriors are extremely powerful in combat, they are unable to withstand defense and are worse than ordinary infantry. After the Danyang elite and the archers led by Sun Quan suffered heavy losses, the Roman crossbows The first target is Cao Zhen. After all, if nothing else, the combat effectiveness and explosive charge of this legion are too terrifying, especially the explosive charge. Even if there are heavy infantry in front, they may be cut open. Therefore, after culling Sun Quan's archer legion, Cao Zhen's sharp army almost suffered a fatal blow. By the way, when retreating now, Cao Zhen felt extremely distressed when he saw the warriors he led behind him. This was the real backbone of their old Cao family, and nearly three thousand of them were killed in this way. After that, it can be said that things were very miserable for Sun Quan. The elite archer army prepared by Zhou Yu was basically wiped out. The leaders of these archers even followed Sun Jian! There will only be more than 3,000 Danyang elites left. Of course, it¡¯s mainly these bows from Sun Quan¡¯s side.The lethality of the shooters was too terrifying. Although they were only gifted, Jiangnan's bows and arrows were very accurate on the one hand, and they all had piercing talents on the other. The Romans seized the opportunity when Sun Quan was free and almost killed him. Killed them all in one wave. After all, the Wolf Cavalry, even with Zhang Liao's talent, faced Trajan's Legion and the Ninth Spanish Legion, and the two opposing legions were the kind of legions that became more and more ferocious the more they fought. Although there were 2,300 The Yulin Guards were in front, but Zhang Liao's side fell as much as the other side fell. ¡° Including the more than 2,700 people killed by the Fifth Skylark¡¯s sneak attack, the Wolf Cavalry, which had a total of 7,000 people when they arrived, now has less than 2,500 people including being trapped in the battle, which is a heavy loss. However, after fighting such a crazy war, the Wolf Cavalry led by Zhang Liao, on this tragic battlefield where they were injured, recovered, fought, injured, recovered, and continued to fight, still fought against the three-talented Trajan Army. The quality that is extremely close to the limit of dual talents, along with the will to dare to compete with stronger people, has made some progress. As for the cavalry, it was the most miserable legion among all the legions. When it went into battle, there were almost only 2,300 people left in the 7,000-strong team, and everyone, including Li Jue and the other three, was injured, but after his return , the momentum is so strong that everyone can't help but look at it. On the other side, the Romans who were cleaning the battlefield received new news. Severus ordered that funerals be prepared for all soldiers from both sides. Roman funerals were relatively simple. They cremated them first, then held a ceremony, then moved the ashes into earthen jars and sealed them for burial. "How do we distinguish between the soldiers of the Han Dynasty and seal them?" Fabio asked with a slight headache. "They have nameplates and put their nameplates on the pots." Novelli said coldly, then pointed to his head, "Such a powerful country, but there are some problems here." "Fighters of the empire, no You should die for other countries, even if you die, you should fight for your own country." Barulo took over Novelli's words and said. "I'm afraid they also have their own considerations. After all, we are far more powerful than Anxi. If the Han Dynasty is really powerful, then we will become their neighbors in the future. This is very important. They also need to understand our strength in advance. to determine their future policies," Piponianus suddenly interrupted to explain. "After all, for most empires, having a powerful neighbor is not a good thing. Even if we really have no ill intentions and talk to each other as empires, we are still bad neighbors." Raklilek said with integrity. , "Speaking of which, I've always been curious, shouldn't your Excellency the Treasurer be sitting in Rome?" Piponianus glanced at Lakli Lake, "Young man, you have to remember that the dividends in the war are very important to finance. It is of great significance. In the rear, we have a complete taxation and management system, which can operate even without me, but in the front, this is a wasteland of systems. How to manage finances here is related to the future of the Roman Empire. " In fact, to put it simply, there is no money. Anyway, Italy's fiscal budget will definitely be in deficit this year, and it will be a big deficit. Even if I go to adjust taxes specifically and check for leaks and fill the gaps, there is no point. On the contrary, it may destroy the existing system. In this case, I might as well leave it alone and let the people below follow the procedures according to the previous rules and regulations. He followed Severus out to see if there was any place where he could make money to supplement the finances, such as these armors and weapons this time. The equipment is all good. Just pick it up and repair it. This can save you some money. Save some money. For another example, when I go back and see the huge fiscal deficit, I will get angry, lay off a group of redundant officials, and then make a fuss in the Senate, and collect the local rich people who are rich and unkind, as well as those who are extremely rich but don't. Kill a bunch of stingy elders who know how to donate to the country. Two times, the war bonus obtained by the Foreign War this year should be counted as the income. As for the huge deficit, it has been filled in Pippenus's small book. There is indeed no shortage of upright people and capable people in the Roman Senate, but there are also a lot of scum in it. According to Pipponsianus' idea, kill a group of local tycoons to fill the country's shortfall. Besides, for the country, it's time for you, the corrupt and bribed senators, to devote your lives. Besides, wasn't it agreed back then that for the sake of the Roman Empire, We are committed to death, so it¡¯s time for you to sacrifice yourself. In short, this guy is not a good guy. Although he is a very upright person and loves this country very much, but if you really want to say it, when this guy raises the big flag for the country, he will not attack anyone. questionable. Don¡¯t talk about killing corruptionWell, even if he is a truly glorious person in the Roman Senate, if the country really has no money and the other party has money, I guess this guy will dare to kill him and subsidize the national treasury, but then again, this guy is not six or seven Have a great year. Otherwise, if we really let this guy live another twenty years, when Severus dies thirteen years later and the Roman Empire really starts to run out of money, this guy will most likely raise a butcher knife and start killing the wealthy knights of the Roman Empire. class and aristocracy. ¡°If we really did that, maybe the Roman Empire could survive for a few more years. However, none of the financial officials after this guy had such courage. But having said that, as a financial officer of the Roman Empire, and he has been a financial officer since the late period of Marcus Aurelius, the last of the Five Wise Emperors, and he was so poor that he let his son ride in an ox-cart, Pippens Annus can also be regarded as a strange species among financial officers. Raklilek was stunned for a moment after being fooled by Pipponsianus, and could only nod his head indifferently, thinking that what the other party said made sense. "When the time comes, put nameplates on the pots of the Han army and send them back. I heard from Mr. Jian that they pay attention to returning their souls to their homeland. Send them back and give them a hero's status." Pipponsianus waved his hand to signal everyone to go. Work. After driving everyone away, the guy breathed a sigh of relief. He was also under great pressure. The financial deficit was Rome's biggest problem at the moment. During this period, the Roman Empire had the strongest military power in history, and it also had He has a strong aggressiveness that he didn't have before. However, the biggest problem at the moment is that there is no money, so much so that as a financial officer, he does not need to keep an eye on the finance. He can roughly guess how big the deficit will be this year by just looking at the army. ¡¾I have to find a way. Speaking of which, Mr. Jian is indeed a wise man. The wisdom he revealed in many aspects makes my eyes shine. Should I say that the Han Empire is indeed an empire with a profound cultural heritage? ] Pipponsianus decided to chat with Jian Yong again. He gained a lot of nutrition from different civilizations' ways of thinking. ¡¾How to make money? This is really a headache. Where are the silver mines? Let us Romans dig them. ] Pipponsianus shook his head and walked to Jian Yong's side as if taking a walk. He knew that Jian Yong must be recording the power displayed by their Romans. But it¡¯s nothing. Pipponsianus not only doesn¡¯t mind this kind of thing, but is also working hard to promote it. Even Jian Yong¡¯s papyrus was given by Pipponsianus. Of course, Pipponsianus was also a little interested in the rice paper that came with the Han Dynasty, but his interest was not too great. They had papyrus, which was natural and basically did not need to be processed. On the other side, all the legions of the Han Dynasty gathered and began to evacuate eastward. As early as these six days, they, together with Fars and others, had transferred most of the food and grass to the east in advance, so they did not need to worry too much about the food and grass problem. "Huh?" Sima Yi looked at Gao Lan and was speechless. "Let's put it this way, half of what he said was to fool you. He led the same soldiers as you and was able to defeat the heavy infantry army on the opposite side. The reason is very simple. He dares to fight and charge, and he takes the lead, and the soldiers are willing to fight for it! " "But the gap is really too big. The gap in combat effectiveness between the elite soldiers of the Yuan family led by me and the elite soldiers led by Zhengli is too big! , and also only has one talent" Gao Lan explained while being shocked by Ju Yi's previous performance. "You are overthinking. The legion you are leading now has two talents." Sima Yi explained expressionlessly, "I'm afraid he didn't have time to explain too much, so he did it like this." "Double talents?" Gao Lan looked at Sima Yi with a puzzled expression, "But as far as I'm concerned, it's obviously a talent." "The so-called talent is actually an external manifestation. Your soldiers are very good in terms of quality. To be precise, There are no soldiers here who are not outstanding. At least in terms of quality, they have definitely reached the level of what the Parthians, Kushans, and Romans call dual talents. The reason why they did not show the second talent can only be said to be the will to fight. gap." Sima Yi said coldly. Everyone nodded after hearing this. Sima Yi was right. All the soldiers who came here came to the small town built by Li Jue and others. There was no dual talent in that place. Without relying on medicine, there was no way. Live there for a long time. "None of the soldiers we brought are below this level. In this term, they all have the quality of double-talented elites." Shen Pei also said, "Zhengli probably doesn't have time to explain it to you in detail, so I just demonstrated it directly. " "The so-called talent, okay, there is no problem, but how to put it, Ju Yi's so-called talent is the essence, but what about external manifestations? External manifestations are two different talents, haven't you noticed?" Sima Yi looked at Gao Lan speechlessly and said. "But Ju Yi is really powerful. In the little time left, he actually forcibly cultivated elite talents to this extent." Chen Gong also said with a look of admiration. "It's not shaping. I probably understand. He should use this to show all of us that the quality of the soldiers led by all of us is no less than the double-talented super elite, but the headquarters of such as Chang Wen and General Gao are only A natural effect." Zhuge Liang said slowly. "A will that matches the quality?" Lu Meng glanced back at the Danyang elites he led and the few remaining elite archers. "That should be the case. When the quality meets the requirements, the competition is actually their fighting will. As for the first talent, it is called differently in different regions. If you really want to say that the elites in the Han Dynasty are really It's a very big span." Shen Pei said slowly, and then remembered Ju Yi's words and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. "Starting from the possession of elite talents, no matter how many talents are displayed, there is still only one talent in essence. If the Han Dynasty really wants to say it, one elite probably covers the entire process from one talent to three talents." Sima Yi also had convulsions, and suddenly realized that the division of military services in the Han Dynasty in the era before Ju Yi was really rough. "Let's just follow what they call them here. If we divide them like that" Chen Gong glanced back at the fierce cavalry. They were simply called elites. "Then it is basically clear. The first is the quality of the soldiers. In addition to the physical fitness of the three-talented decisive battle troops completely exceeding the normal level, in fact, the physical fitness of the double-talented elite can actually be obtained with the first talent. After experiencing a lot of tragic The physical quality of the battle can definitely be achieved." Zhuge Liang combed his mind and said slowly.
