A pool of clear water, misty and misty.

If it were an ordinary person, I would have been tempted to take a comfortable dip in the water at this time, but Cass Eli was standing on the edge of the pool at this time. It's not that she hasn't bathed before, but on this occasion, there is still a Wan'er in the pool that has always made her respectful and fearful, which makes her, the dignified Queen Regent, a little afraid to go down into the pool.

As a politician, Cass Eli certainly has a lot of things to do with Wan'er. Of course, there is basically no one who does not take advantage of any politician, and generally speaking, no politician will be afraid of his own use object, but Kass Yili is really afraid of Wan'er. And this kind of fear is difficult to explain, and the reluctance to say it is somewhat similar to the fear of religious believers about the gods they believe in.

To be precise, Kass Eli knew very well that it was precisely because of Wan'er's appearance that she kept her royal family, her power and status, otherwise the rest royal family would have been replaced by the Sassanid family long ago. And because of Wan'er's help, Anxi has a bit of a thriving trend.

Personally, Cass Yili is already a member of Bensi, but she still maintains her appearance in her early twenties, which is also the result of Wan'er's "blessing" to her. And no matter how powerful Cass Eli is, she is still a woman after all, and women are not worried about their appearance getting old, so just at this point, it is to kill Cass Eli and she is unwilling to blame Wan'er.

But the most important thing is that Wan'er has always shown that she can only worship and not power, which is very different from those traditional people who want to get involved in politics in the name of religion, which is very rare for a politician like Kasili. And what Wan'er can provide is real help, which also makes Cass Eli afraid that she will offend Wan'er, so that Wan'er abandons her and turns to helping others, which is not something Kass Eli can afford.

These don't talk about it anymore, anyway, Kasi Yili has these awe of Wan'er in her heart, so that even if she strips herself naked, everyone stands on the edge of the bath, but she doesn't dare to go down into the pool. In the end, Wan'er called to Cass Eli: "Don't stand there stupidly, come down and soak together, and then help each other rub their backs." ”

Hearing this, Cass Eli finally descended into the pool with hesitation. And in order to offer some courtesy, Kasi Yili first copied the things that were rubbing her back, and said a little flatteringly: "Lord God, I will help you rub your back first." ”

Wan'er at this time is a false personality, and there is a ...... Well, in modern terms, it's a bit of a woman's attributes, so it's not polite and pretentious, anyway, it's just a casual lie there, leaving her back to Kasy Yili. Kasy Yili didn't dare to slack off, and took the tool and carefully scrubbed it on Wan'er's back. It's a little ridiculous to think about it, she Kasi Eli is also a dignified queen of regents no matter how she says it, but at this moment she rubs her back.

Wan'er let Cass Eli clumsily fix a few times, and then turned her head to Kasy Eli and asked, "Is there anything important that you came to me at this time?" ”

Kasi Yili was a little hesitant, but she didn't dare to stop the work in her hands, and said with hesitation in her mouth: "Divine Messenger, do you wait until you finish bathing before ......?"

Wan'er said: "If you have anything to say, say it now, you don't need to fix so many rigid things." ”

Kasily hesitated again before she spoke: "On the Armenian side, my army launched several counterattacks and temporarily sent the Romans back. Now that both sides are in a situation of temporary truce, the Romans seem to be intent on making peace talks with me, and I have a lot of national losses here, so I also want to negotiate a temporary truce. But I was still a little undecided, and my subordinates were arguing, so I thought I would come and ask the Divine Envoy what you mean. ”

During this period, the main disputes between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Persian family were basically concentrated in Armenia, and for more than 100 years, they repeatedly fought and stopped, and even the two sides had a strange situation of jointly administering Armenia. And the two sides will always stop when they don't have enough strength, rest for a while, and resume fighting when their strength has recovered.

In recent years, there has been a tendency to reasperate, and the Roman Empire has been relatively stable in recent years, and the strength of both sides has recovered, and as soon as the strength recovers, it will start fighting in Armenia again. However, this time it was Rome that provoked the trouble, and the rest side was considered to be carrying out a defensive counterattack, and the rest side took a lot of advantage at first because of Wan'er, but later because the Roman side got in touch with Lu Ren, and got the support of Lu Ren, and turned the situation back little by little.

In other words, Rome and Sabbath are now in a draw, and the two sides are in a standoff. It's just that after such a toss, the Roman Empire and the rest of the side have recovered a little bit of strength again, so they remembered the armistice and peace talks, and they will continue to fight when they have the strength they have cultivated.

Besides, it is not for nothing that Kasy Eli wants to accept peace talks. Although the rest of the royal family has a tendency to prosper, after all, the time is still short and the illness has been accumulated for a long time, and there are still too many internal problems to solve, which is really a bit unbearable to withstand the excessive toss from the outside; On the other hand, although Rome had turned from prosperity to decline at this time, the Roman Empire belonged to the standard "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse", and it was unrealistic to rest and try to settle Rome. In that case, it is better to rest and recuperate...... Well, at this point, Kasili also thinks that she has Wan'er's help here, and her recovery ability is higher than that of Rome, so the truce and recuperation are beneficial to her side.

But after listening to Cass Eli's explanation, Wan'er was silent for a while, and then shook her head lightly and said, "I said Cass Eli, my queen regent, I seem to have told you many times that I won't ask about your state affairs, right?" ”

Kasily had already guessed that Wan'er would say that, and for a politician, their spiritual idol would be so happy that they could not ask for political issues in this way. However, at this time, Kass Yili was really a little undecided, and the courtiers were also arguing too fiercely, saying everything, so at this time, Kass Yili really needed a weighty person to help her make up her mind, so she came to Wan'er. Seeing Wan'er like this, Kasi Yili begged: "Lord Divine Envoy, the current situation is really difficult to grasp, so please ask Lord Divine Envoy to give an oracle." ”

The "oracle" is a common problem of feudal rulers, but it is also true and false. Sometimes the rulers move out to fool the people, but there are also many times when they really can't make up their minds, so they come to ask God for guidance last time...... To put it bluntly, it's like people toss a coin when they can't make up their minds. And now Cass Eli is undoubtedly "flipping a coin".

Wan'er here didn't respond immediately, but first asked Kasy Eli for some relevant information, and then went back into the pool, and sat down in the middle of the pool, closed her eyes and didn't say a word. In this posture, it seems to outsiders that there is really some meaning of collusion with the gods, but in fact, Wan'er has activated the chip, and is analyzing and thinking according to the information provided by Cass Eli, and then there are some data calculations.

After a long time passed like this, Wan'er opened her eyes and said to Cass Eli, "Let's fight a few more battles and then negotiate peace." I don't want to say too much else, but I can only tell you that if you don't fight a few good battles and make peace, you will not have much advantage in the peace talks with Rome, and then the peace talks will not make much sense. ”

Then Wan'er said the names of several battlefields, that is, she signaled that Cass Eli should launch a small-scale battle in these places, but don't go too far, just take advantage of it and take it when you see it. Once the battle goes too far and triggers a large-scale battle, then the next thing is that it will be difficult for both sides to end, and they can only fight to the death.

After hearing this, Kasi Yili hurriedly wrote it down. Her ability may not be outstanding, but at least she is qualified, and the advice given by Wan'er is obviously more in line with Anxi's current situation, so Kass Yili is still very satisfied.

Now that she has received the so-called "oracle", Kasily is much more relieved, so she is really enjoying the water of the pool now. However, at this time, Wan'er suddenly asked, "How is the construction of the navy?" ”

Cass Eli was stunned when she heard this. It was still very early, and Wan'er repeatedly asked Cass Eli to speed up the construction of the navy, and Kasi Eli was originally doing the same, and it should be said that the development was not bad. However, after the resumption of the war with the Roman Empire, due to the needs of the war, Cass Eli had to transfer a lot of funds and personnel from the naval construction side to the war against Rome, so the construction of the navy at this time was only about half of the original plan.

Of course, Wan'er saw it immediately, and then Wan'er frowned, sighed heavily, and said, "It seems that you still haven't taken what I said at that time to heart." ”

Kasi Yili hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, under the guidance of the gods, how can I be lazy?" It's just that the scale of the war with Rome this time is a bit large, and the military spending can't keep up, so ......"

Wan'er also shook her head: "What did I tell you at that time?" Forget it, it's come to this, and it's useless to talk about it. But Kasily, I will remind you again that the war between Sabbath and Rome is important, but in the near future Sabbath will be a great threat from the sea, and this threat will be much more formidable than that of Rome. I'm not sure when this threat will come, maybe two years, maybe a year, but there won't be much time left for rest, so you might as well hurry. ”

After a pause, Wan'er added: "Of course, if you can reach peace talks with Rome as soon as possible, so as to concentrate your forces on the southern coast, then the threat from the sea will be much easier to deal with." Kasily, I'm not trying to scare you, you have to keep it in mind. ”

Seeing that Wan'er said solemnly, Kasi Yili didn't dare to slack off even more, and said in her heart, I should go back and strengthen the construction of the navy......

Here in Central Asia, Lu Ren is receiving some visitors. To be precise, it was the envoys sent by the Roman emperor who came to Lu Ren with Lu Lan's fleet.

Not to mention diplomatic envoys or anything, and in order to establish a good relationship with Lu Ren, the Roman emperor of course also sent a lot of gifts, such as the beautiful and hot Yanma sent several dozens, and even some black slaves from North Africa.

However, for Lu Ren, what he cares about now is not these oceanic horses, but the five hundred Roman infantry who came with the regiment. Speaking of which, these 500 Roman infantry were the elite of the Roman emperor at that time, and of course, there is no need to say that the style of their equipment is indeed similar to many historical records. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that these were the standard phalanx infantry of the Roman Empire.

The Roman phalanx infantry is famous in history, and it can be said that it swept the European continent for a long time, but this also caused the rigidity of military thinking in the middle and late stages of ancient Rome, believing that as long as there was a phalanx heavy infantry, it was enough. There was nothing wrong with this in a certain era, but when the Northern Xiongnu moved to Europe, the Roman phalanx heavy infantry tactics were finished, and they were beaten by the Hun cavalry.

Lu Ren actually borrowed a lot of phalanx heavy infantry tactics, but Lu Ren did not take a single heavy infantry route, on the contrary, after reading a lot of information, he adopted the tactics of multi-arm cooperation. To put it simply, the heavy infantry was used as the wall, and the strong bow and crossbow plus the musket that was later made were the main means of killing and injuring the enemy.
