Chapter 1180: Waiting for the thief to come
The envoys of the Jin army were forced to be speechless, and if they admitted that the Jin army could not defeat Julian, it would seem that the Jin army was too incompetent, and it would be laughed at by the Germanic chieftains, but if it was said that the Jin army would definitely be able to defeat Julian, then why should the Germanic tribes help? Isn't that redundant?
After thinking for a while, the envoy of the Jin army spoke: "My king naturally has the confidence to defeat Julian, but in order to increase the chances of our army's victory, my king still sent me to form an alliance with you, besides, it is also very beneficial for you to form an alliance with us, and besides, my king has a generous gift for you."

"Oh, there's a generous gift, let's talk about it." The Frankish chieftain was immediately interested, and asked loudly.
The envoy of the Jin army said with a smile: "As long as we defeat Julian and destroy the main force of the Roman legions, all the land of the entire western Rome will belong to you Germans, and you can distribute it as much as you want, how about it, how about this generous gift?" Then he looked at the Germanic chiefs.
When all the Germanic chieftains heard this, their eyes widened, the generous gift that the envoys of the Jin army said was actually the entire western Rome, but this generous gift still needed to be fought for by themselves, and they could not expect the Jin army to give it to them.
"The entire western Rome, the commander of the Jin army has a big breath, but we need to capture it ourselves, how can it be considered that you gave it to us?" Chief Frank said with a smile.
"Yes! There were tens of thousands of elite Gallic troops in western Rome, and if we were to capture the whole of western Rome, we would have to pay a lot of losses. Said the Ostrogothic chief.
The envoy of the Jin army smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you should know very well that there is no free lunch in the world, since you want to get the land of the entire western Rome, you naturally have to pay some price, with our Jin army to attract the main force of the Roman Empire, you are fully capable of dealing with the Gallic army in the west, aren't you?" ā
When the Germanic chieftains heard this, they all nodded approvingly, and agreed with the words of the Jin envoys, indeed, how could the Jin army give them the great western Rome for nothing for no reason, and if there was no Jin army to attack Constantinople, then their Germanic tribes would never be able to obtain an inch of land in western Rome, and only by cooperating with the Jin army could they get the land they wanted.
Seeing that the Germanic chieftains were already a little moved, the envoy of the Jin army continued: "Our Great Jin Empire is still thousands of miles away, and we are not very interested in the land of Rome in the west, and the reason why we want to go to war with the Roman Empire is because the Roman Empire attacked Mulu City for no reason and was the enemy of our Great Jin Empire, otherwise, we would not attack the Roman Empire, and if our Jin army returns to our hometown thousands of miles away, there will be no one to help you Germans, and when the time comes, the crazy Julian will definitely concentrate all the forces of Rome, Encircle and suppress you, and when the time comes, you may not be able to escape this catastrophe! ā
When the Germanic chieftains heard this, they immediately looked at each other, indeed, they Germanic people have been oppressed by the Roman Empire for hundreds of years, and now, the Jin army's westward expedition is a good time for them to be ashamed, if they miss the good opportunity to cooperate with the Jin army, they will never have a chance to get rid of the control of the Roman Empire.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate with the Jin army and jointly attack the Roman Empire." The Frankish chieftain was the first to speak.
The Saxon chieftain raised his hand and said, "I also agree, but we are not the opponent of Julian's main army, so we must wait until Julian's main force arrives in the direction of Constantinople and fights with your Jin soldiers and horses before we can attack in the direction of Milan City." ā
"Yes, we have enough strength to deal with the Gallic army, but we must evade Julian's main force." Visigothic Chief Masase said.
"Yes, yes, that's it." All the Germanic chiefs nodded in approval.
The envoy of the Jin army smiled happily: "Okay, very good, as long as you Germans are willing to cooperate with our Great Jin army, the Great Jin court will not treat you badly in the future." ā
"Then thank you Dajin Tianzi, may we cooperate happily." Chief Frank said happily.
"Hahaha! In the future, we will be friends with the Jin people, which is great. All the Germanic chiefs said happily.
The Jin envoys smiled happily and discussed with them the details of the specific operation, as for how to distribute the land after conquering the entire western Rome, it was the Germanic people's own business, and the Jin envoys could not interfere.
In the direction of Milan City, in order to wait for news from the north, Julian deliberately asked his more than 100,000 main soldiers and horses to wait for an extra day in the camp outside the city.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the chieftains of the Germanic tribes have promised to make peace with us and are willing to accept the gifts of our Roman Empire." Julian's envoys returned to Milan and immediately informed Julian of his achievements.
When Julian heard this, he was very happy and praised the envoy.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, now that the Germanic problem has been solved, should we go to Constantinople immediately, after all, Constantius II will not live for a few days, we must hurry forward to stabilize the situation there!" General Bainobades said.
Julian nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, order all legions to set off immediately and march to Constantinople." ā
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor." Bynobardes replied, and then led his men and horses in the direction of Constantinople.
Julian led his soldiers and horses to run in the direction of Constantinople, and in the direction of Constantinople, Constantius II was already dying and could die at any time.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, news has just come from the direction of Milan City, Julian himself is leading more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to Constantinople, it seems that he is planning to gather soldiers and horses to fight with the Jin army!" Cavalry General Marcellus said softly.
Constantius II frowned and complained weakly: "Didn't you warn Julian not to be an enemy of the Jin army? Why didn't you do what I said? ā
Marcellus said helplessly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we have done what you said, however, Julian did not follow our advice, it seems that he is sure of an absolute victory over the Jin army." ā
"No, no, no, the Jin army is very powerful, even I have been defeated, how can Julian defeat the Jin army? This is absolutely impossible, and Julian must be stopped from ruining my Roman Empire. Constantius II said anxiously.
Masselous and other generals were silent when they heard this, in their opinion, Constantius II's military command ability was not as good as Julian's at all, but Constantius II hated Julian, so he stubbornly thought that he was better than Julian, in fact, it was just self-deception.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, we may not really be able to defeat the Jin army, the last defeat was because we underestimated the enemy, if we didn't go too far into the territory of Persia and were trapped in the desert, we may not necessarily lose to the Jin army." General Orleans spoke.
When Constantius II heard this, he was very dissatisfied, he trembled, and said inarticulately: "Have you forgotten the fire bull formation of the Jin army? How powerful is this kind of fire ox array, a group of ploughing cattle rushed over and caused us a loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, if the Jin army collects more ploughing cattle and organizes a larger-scale fire ox array, will we not be wiped out globally, have you come up with a solution to solve it? Ahem, ahem. After saying that, he coughed violently.
When the Roman generals heard this, they didn't speak, obviously, they didn't come up with a solution to it, but they were indeed unwilling to admit defeat to the Jin army, after all, they were all the best generals in the Roman Empire, let them bow their heads and admit defeat to the Jin army, they couldn't stand this humiliation, and although they couldn't think of how to deal with the Jin army's fire bull array, Julian might have a way to say it, at least there was this hope.
"Why, do you all think Julian can defeat the Jin army? You all think Julian is better than me, don't you? Constantius II said angrily.
When the Roman generals heard this, they remained silent and looked at each other a few times.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, Julian has been running the western part of the Roman Empire over the years, and the results he has achieved are also visible, he is still very capable, and we all believe that Julian will lead us to defeat the Jin army." General Severus said softly.
Constantius II was about to go crazy, and the generals under his command dared to praise Julian in front of him, although he was about to let Julian inherit the throne, but no matter what, he just couldn't see others say that Julian was good, because he still hated Julian from the bottom of his heart, and hated it from the bottom of his heart.
"You guys, you're so quick to start currying favor with Julian, you're so angry with me, you're so angry with me." Constantius II said weakly.
When the Roman generals heard this, they were all silent, they didn't know what to say, now, Emperor Constantius II is about to die, Julian is about to inherit the throne, they will naturally start to curry favor with Julian for their own future, and they believe that Julian's ability is also a choice they must choose.
"Uh......" Constantius II stunned for a moment, and slowly closed his eyes.
"His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor." When the courtiers saw Constantius II closing his eyes, they hurriedly called out loudly.
Severus gently put his finger on the tip of Constantius II's nose, paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and said softly: "His Majesty the Emperor has no breath left, he is dead." ā
When everyone heard this, they all immediately showed sad expressions, after all, they had followed Constantius II for decades, and they had feelings for Constantius II, and their Emperor His Majesty was dead, how could they not be sad?
Orleans looked at everyone and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has passed away, and we should take care of the aftermath immediately." ā
Everyone nodded, and began to divide up, and immediately informed Julian, who was coming, so that Julian could arrive in Constantinople as soon as possible to inherit the Roman Empire.

In the direction of Ctesiphon, Hua An and his generals are training their soldiers, and they must be fully prepared to defeat the Roman Empire when the Roman army is about to move.
"Good news, Your Majesty! The envoys sent to the Germanic regions have sent back the news that the Germanic chieftains have joined forces with us in attacking Rome in the west to relieve the pressure on our army. Wang San walked to Hua'an's side and said happily.
Hua An was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "Really? It is very good that there is such a good thing, and if the Germanic tribes attack the western part of Rome, the probability of our victory will be greatly increased, and the losses of our army will be much smaller. ā
"Yes! Your Majesty, now that the pressure on our army has been greatly reduced, can we immediately launch an attack in the direction of Constantinople? Wang San asked impatiently.
Obviously, after many days of understanding, Wang San has developed an extremely strong interest in the Roman capital city of Constantinople, and he feels that Constantinople is a very important strategic location, as long as he captures Constantinople, he can control the land within a radius of several hundred miles, and will completely block the attacks of the tribes in the west of Constantinople, so as to ensure the safety of the Persian Governorate of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Hua An shook his head with a smile and said softly: "Julian is full of confidence and wants to fight a decisive battle with our army, why should we follow his wishes?" Besides, a decisive battle in Constantinople would not be beneficial to our army, and in the direction of Ctesiphon, we would have a great advantage, so why not? ā
"The king's intention is to sit back and wait for Julian to come and attack us." Wang San asked softly.
Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, this king wants Julian to take the initiative to find us for a decisive battle, so that we will have the initiative, and when the time comes, we will definitely defeat Julian's soldiers and horses in Ctesiphon, so that Julian will suffer heavy losses, so that the Roman Empire will no longer pose a threat to the Persian capital of our Great Jin Dynasty for decades." ā
"The king is really thoughtful, and the last general is really far from it!" Wang San smiled and sighed.
Hua An smiled indifferently, looked at Wang San, and asked softly, "Have the Roman prisoners been at peace recently, and have they caused trouble again?" ā
"Back to the king, since the last Spartan rebellion, our army has strengthened its supervision, and at present, all the Roman prisoners are working hard, and they have not caused any more trouble, and they seem to be much more honest."
Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Okay, it's really good, this king wants this kind of effect, there are 60,000 Roman prisoners who are building day and night, and the dilapidated Ctesiphon will soon become a new look, and when the time comes, the seat of my Great Jin Persian Governor's Mansion will be built in the city of Ctesiphon." ā
"What the king said is that Ctesiphon is the capital of the Persian Empire, and it is the most suitable place to govern the Persian capital of my Great Jin Dynasty." Wang San's approval of the answer. (To be continued.) )
