Chapter 538: Rome News Update!
Great Qin Empire?
Cao Cao's heart moved, and he asked, "Your so-called Great Qin Empire is an empire that claims to turn the sea into an inner lake?" ”
After thinking for a moment, the Dawan envoy nodded, and then opened the conversation as if he had found the object to talk to, and the Dawan envoy said to Cao Cao: "I heard that this Daqin Emperor is a soldier, and he is very brutal in his arbitrariness, and he has defeated the rebellious Syrian governor and had a war with an empire called Rest before attacking our country, as for the victory or defeat, I don't know!" ”
Cao Cao frowned, so it seems that this Daqin is indeed Rome, but I didn't expect that Rome is still a little powerful at this time, but maybe it is a return to the light, just like the Han in the past, before 180 AD, the Han was able to dispatch a three-way army and march out of the fortress, at that time, who could see that the Han was about to go to the west.
However, there is a person who knows the information about Rome here, Cao Cao thought for a while, and said to Cui Yingying on the side: "Go and call a recorder over!" ”
Cui Yingying promised and immediately left the Qianqing Palace.
After a while, Cui Yingying led a recorder back to the Qianqing Palace, experienced the official salute to Cao Cao, and then sat down behind the desk on one side of the hall, ready to stop.
Cao Cao said to the Dawan envoy: "Just bother the noble envoy to talk about this Great Qin Empire in detail!" ”
The Dawan envoy thought to himself: "Saying that the specific situation of this Great Qin has no impact on the battle situation between Wusun and the Western Regions at all!" As soon as he thought of this, he began to talk about internal affairs and military affairs, and from population to local customs. Pretty much everything.
Although many of them were hearsay, they also made Cao Cao update his understanding of Rome.
It's even more different from what the white barbarian said before. In the mouth of this great messenger, the Roman Empire of this era can be said to be the most powerful period in the history of the Roman Empire. Severus has a strong desire for power, holding all power in his hands, and can be said to have the most powerful emperor in the history of the Roman Empire!
Severus was a soldier, warlike and brutal, and he rewarded his army with such a good reputation that he expanded the Roman Empire's army to an unprecedented size, with nearly a million troops under his direct control, as well as servant armies in various places.
Cao Cao can be said to be confused by two different statements, in fact. If Cao Cao's history is good enough, it will be clear that both of these statements are true, and the Roman Empire did break out in civil strife in 192 AD, but in 193 AD, due to the killing of Commodus and his successor Petinax, Severus was proclaimed emperor by his troops.
He then selected 15,000 elite men from the Danube Army to reorganize the Janissaries, and in 194 he defeated his opponent, the Syrian governor Nigel.
Then he returned to the west and conquered Arnubis, who had already become emperor. In 197, Arnubis committed suicide after his defeat.
When Severus returned to Rome, he executed more than thirty senators who had supported Arnubis.
In 197, he repelled the invasion of Mesopotamia by the Sabbatarians, and two years later incorporated Mesopotamia into the empire, with the power of a gun backing it. Extensive judicial reform has also been undertaken.
In 208 A.D., he led an army to conquer the non-Roman regions of Britain, but died of illness at Ebolacon.
In fact, this period can be described as the last return to the Roman Empire, since the death of the emperor. It was in the midst of civil strife that the Roman Empire fell into the following decades. The Roman Empire fell into a situation similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with frequent changes of imperial thrones. This eventually led to the official destruction of the Roman Empire at the hands of the barbarians, Germanic peoples of Central Europe!
In other words, if Cao Cao had sent troops to the west at that time or now, he would not only have a rest that was developing at its peak, but also a Roman Empire that was in the final recuperation!
The Dawan envoy said this for about half an hour, and finally the Dawan envoy said to Cao Cao with a dry mouth: "Your Majesty, the Great Qin Empire is really terrifying!" ”
Cao Cao, who came back to his senses, couldn't remember the chaotic thoughts in your mind, but glanced at the recorder, who put down the brush in his hand and arched his hand at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled, turned his head and said to the Dawan envoy: "Then let's ask the envoy to tell me about the situation of Guishuang!" ”
Dawan's eyes lit up, and he immediately searched the memories in his mind and told Cao Cao in detail.
Nearly an hour later, the dry-mouthed Dawan envoy gulped down the tea sent by the palace maid, and the recorder twisted his sour wrist and arched his hand towards Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Sending troops is a big deal, I need to discuss it with the ministers!" Your Excellency, please rest in the hall first! ”
Although the Dawan envoy was very anxious, he also knew that what Cao Cao said was reasonable, so he stood up and saluted Chen Chu and said, "Luo Na retreats, I hope to hear the news of the army sent by the kingdom as soon as possible!" ”
Cao Cao smiled noncommittally and said to a royal forest soldier: "Send the envoy out of the palace gate on behalf of me!" ”
The Imperial Forest Army made a promise and led the Dawan envoy out of the Qianqing Palace.
Cao Cao got up and came to the recorder's desk, who quickly stood up and saluted, and presented the manuscript he had just recorded.
Cao Cao casually flipped through a few pages, then handed it to Jia Xu and instructed: "Wenhe, put this manuscript in Liu Ye's hands, and order someone to print a hundred copies of it immediately!" Remember, don't lose it! ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry!" ”
"Your Majesty, how are you going to reply to this Dawan?" Jia Xu asked.
Cao Cao walked to the door with his hands behind his back: "Just find a reason to prevaricate!" Our focus now is on unifying the Central Plains! ”
Jia Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
Cao Cao turned around and said, "Order the generals of the Tun army in various places to step up their training and be ready to fight at any time!" ”
"Yes!" Jia Xu promised.
After Jia Xu left, Cao Cao reviewed the chapters in the Qianqing Palace until late at night.
After the Dawan envoy returned to the hall, the deputy envoy immediately greeted him.
"My lord, what did the Great Wei Emperor say?" The deputy envoy asked.
The Dawan envoy frowned slightly and replied, "He said to think about it!" ”
"My lord, I don't think we need to ask Great Wei to send troops! Although the Great Wei has a certain leadership position in the Western Regions, the countries of the Western Regions may not agree to the large-scale troops of the Great Wei to move on their territory at will! ”
The Dawan envoy nodded and said, "What you said has some truth! But as long as tens of thousands of cavalry like the one a few days ago appeared to the east of Wusun, we would be able to achieve our goal! ”
The deputy envoy couldn't help but think of the scene a few days ago, the iron-blooded cavalry left an extremely deep impression on him, and he couldn't help but nod! (To be continued......)
