In the direction of the city of Milan, Julian was listening to the report of his own soldiers, and Julian was very excited about the good news from Constantinople, Constantius II was about to die, and as long as Constantius II died, he Julian would be the only emperor of the entire Roman Empire, and he was about to sit on the entire Roman Empire, so how could he not be excited?

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, Constantius II is finally going to die, and His Majesty the Emperor will officially take control of the entire Roman Empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" said the confidant General Baiobades happily.

Julian grinned and said softly: "Constantius II has done all the bad things, and now he has finally received retribution, after he dies, the entire Roman Empire will be Iurian's, this feeling is really wonderful, haha!" He laughed.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since Constantius II is about to die, there is no need for us to continue waiting in Milan, it is better to lead the troops to Constantinople immediately!" A courtier said.

Julian nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right, there is no need for us to continue to stay in Milan, pass the order, let the Gallic army and the British army guard the west, and the rest of the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses will immediately prepare, and march east early tomorrow morning to Constantinople." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty the Emperor, I'll arrange it." One of the courtiers received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are about to go to Constantinople and inherit the entire Roman Empire, do you have any worries?" Seeing that Julian had a hint of worry between his eyebrows, General Bainobardes asked in a low voice.

Julian smiled, looked at Bainobardes, and said: "General Banobades, you should know that the Germans are very difficult, I am worried that after our main force leaves Milan, the Germans will take advantage of the weakness to attack Milan, and the British army is still far away in the British island, and the remaining Gallic army may not be the opponent of the Germans!" ”

"What His Majesty the Emperor said is that the Germans have always been a big problem for my Roman Empire, and this time the eastward march is to conquer the Jin Kingdom, if the Germans take advantage of the weakness to enter, it is indeed a very troublesome thing, and it must be carefully arranged." Bainobades replied softly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I think it is possible to transfer part of the British army into Milan to cooperate with the Gallic army to defend the city of Milan, so that it can greatly deter the Germanic people and make them dare not act rashly." One of the generals said loudly.

Julian waved his hand lightly and said: "There are not many British troops, if half of them are transferred into Milan, the defense of British Island will be weak, so let's negotiate peace with Germania!" ”

Obviously, at this time, Julian was very worried about the simultaneous war on the eastern and western fronts, so that the national strength of the Roman Empire could not afford it at all, so he had to stabilize the Germans first, and then go back to clean up the Germans after defeating the Jin army.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we and the Germans have long been mortal enemies, how can there be any possibility of peace talks." General Benobardes said helplessly.

Julian nodded, and said: "That's right, we and the Germans have indeed been mortal enemies for a long time, but the strength of the Germans is much weaker than our Roman Empire after all, as long as we use grace and power, I believe that the Germans will agree to negotiate peace." ”

"His Majesty the Emperor already has a specific plan?" Bainobades asked softly.

Julian nodded, "Yes, I already have a plan, we can send envoys to Germania and tell their leaders that we can cede a large piece of land occupied in previous years, and from then on, Rome and Germania will never invade each other." ”

"His Majesty the Emperor is right, I believe that this will definitely dispel the attempts of the Germanic people to go south." One of the courtiers said approvingly.

Benobades shook his head and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Germans are insidious and cunning, I am afraid that they will not be so easily deceived, if they first get the large land we have sent, and then attack us, wouldn't it be bad." ”

Obviously, Bynobardes feared that the Germans would rebel and continue to attack the Roman Empire after gaining the advantage of the Roman Empire.

Julian smiled and said in a dark voice: "I believe that the Germans do not have the courage, if they dare to take advantage of the situation to attack Milan, I will definitely concentrate all the soldiers and horses of the Roman Empire, completely kill all the Germans, and let them disappear from now on, this warning must be told to the Germans, in order to deter them from trying to take advantage of the situation." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, since you have decided, then I will go and arrange it." General Bainobades replied.

Julian nodded in agreement.

Julian's intention is very obvious, that is, to use interests and intimidation to deter the Germans, at the same time, the land he ceded is not very large, it is nothing to the Roman Empire, besides, these ceded lands are only temporary, after they defeat the Jin army, they will turn around and clean up the Germans, recapture the ceded land, in addition, Julian knows very well in his heart that the Germans are a system of tribal alliances, among the Germanic peoples, including the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Franks, Angles and Saxons, etc., there will be some contradictions between these tribes more or less, this time the cession of land, did not clearly state which Germanic tribe it was given to, for this reason, it is very likely to cause many Germanic people to compete with each other, which may lead to the internal struggle of the Germanic peoples, if so, it will be a great thing for the Roman Empire.

Soon, Julian sent emissaries to the inner gathering area of the Germanic peoples and expressed the sincerity of the Roman Empire to the Germanic chieftains of several major tribes, asking them to accept the gifts of the Roman Empire and become permanent friends with the Roman Empire.

The chieftains of the Germanic tribes were wary of seeing the new ruler of the Roman Empire, Julian, suddenly showing goodwill, and they had already known that the Roman emperor had a bloody battle with the Jin army and fled in defeat, so they naturally knew that Julian would lead his troops eastward to confront the Jin army, so that they could not deal with them Germans, and this gave them more options, they could not only reject the good intentions of the Roman Empire, but also accept the good intentions of the Roman Empire, and at the same time, they could also pretend to accept and rebel, Taking advantage of the departure of the main forces of the Roman Empire from the west, he launched an attack on the city of Milan.

After some research, the Frankish chieftains and the Ostrogothic chieftains felt that they should first agree to the gifts of the Roman Empire, and then make plans after the main forces of the western Rome left Milan, and the other chieftains also nodded in agreement, but several chieftains had a dispute about how to distribute the land ceded by the Roman Empire, and they all felt that the land they had been allocated was too little, and they should divide it a little more.

"No, why do we Anglos get the least amount of land, it's unreasonable, I don't agree." The Anglo chieftain shouted.

"We in Franks are the closest to this place, this was originally our Frankish territory, it was seized by the Romans a few years ago, and now it is returned, it should all belong to us Franks." Chief Frank said loudly.

"No, this land was given to us by the Romans to the entire Germanic people, not to your Frankish family, and should be divided equally." Said the Ostrogothic chieftain.

"It's also unfair to divide equally, it should be distributed according to the number of people in the tribe to which it belongs, and the tribe with a large number should naturally divide more." The Visigothic chief said loudly.

"Okay, okay, everyone don't quarrel, now this land has not yet arrived, we all quarrel like this, if it is in hand, then we must not fight!" The Saxon chieftain shouted.

When the Germanic chieftains heard this, they all stopped quarreling and thought of their own countermeasures.

"Well, I think we should give an answer to the Roman envoys first, so as to get this land as soon as possible, and after we get this land, we will discuss how to distribute it!" The Saxon chieftain whispered.

"Yes, yes, take this land first." The Germanic chieftains nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, in the presence of the envoys sent by Julian, the Germanic chieftains expressed their willingness to accept Julian's overtures and make peace with the Roman Empire forever and never invade each other.

The Roman envoys were naturally very pleased when they heard this, and told Julian the warning to the Germanic chieftains, telling them to keep their promises, and if they invaded the Roman Empire without reason, they would be retaliated against by the power of the Roman Empire.

The Germanic chieftains nodded their heads and said again that they would keep their promise and would never invade the Roman Empire for no reason.

After receiving the promise of the Germanic chieftains, the Roman envoys happily left the Germanic settlement and quickly returned to Milan to inform Julian of the favorable news.

Just after the Roman envoys left the Germanic settlement, the envoys sent by Huaan also arrived at the Germanic settlement, and immediately asked to see the Germanic chieftains.

The time for the gathering of the Germanic chieftains had not yet passed, so they still gathered together to eat meat and drink wine, and they were all slightly surprised to hear that the commander of the Jin army had sent envoys to come, but there was no loss in seeing them, so they soon received the envoys of the Jin Kingdom.

The envoys of the Jin army walked into the tent of the Germanic chieftains, and saw that all the Germanic chieftains were drinking wine and eating meat, and none of the chiefs were looking at him, so they naturally felt a little uncomfortable, but after all, these Germanic chieftains were rude barbarians, and it was normal to be rude, so there was nothing strange about it.

"Say it! What are you here for? The Frankish chieftain asked casually, chewing on the venison.

The envoy of the Jin army smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, let's wait until the kings finish eating!" I'm afraid I'll spoil your appetite. ”

"Oh, what a big breath." When the Germanic chieftains heard this, they all immediately put down the wine and food in their hands and looked at the envoys of the Jin army.

"Okay, you can say it now." Chief Frank said loudly.

The envoy of the Jin army grinned and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom will attack Constantinople and attack the Roman Empire in the near future, and when the time comes, the Roman Emperor Julian will mobilize most of the soldiers and horses to fight with our army. Then he looked at the Germanic chiefs.

When the Germanic chieftains heard this, they all laughed, and laughed merrily.

Seeing that the Germanic chieftains were smiling and leaning forward, the envoys of the Jin army were very surprised, and asked very incomprehensibly: "Why are you laughing when you come to form an alliance with the kings in Xia Chengcheng?" ”

"Hahaha!" When the Germanic chieftains heard this, they laughed even harder.

The Saxon chieftain looked the Jin army envoys up and down, and said: "The commander of the Jin army wants to form an alliance with us, but he only sent you here, but he didn't bring us any gifts, isn't it too insincere." ”

The Ostrogothic chieftain continued: "The Roman emperor has just sent men, and they have not only brought us a large number of gifts, but also ceded a large territory to us, and you are only one man. ”

"Haha! Look at the wine we drank and ate the meat, all of them were sent by the Romans, come, and give a taste to the envoys of the Jin army. The Visigothic chief said rudely.

The envoy of the Jin army smiled, waved his hand and said, "No need, you Germanic people have been hostile to Rome for hundreds of years, aren't you afraid that these wines and dishes are poisonous?" ”

"What, the food and drinks are poisonous." The Germanic people were taken aback and subconsciously looked at the food and wine on the table.

The envoy of the Jin army smiled and said: "Don't worry, the kings don't worry, it's just a joke, there should be no poison in the wine and food, otherwise, you can't sit here and talk for a long time, but the Romans' wine and food contain poisonous schemes, I don't know if the kings have come out." ”

"Poison plan, then you can talk about it and see what poison plan there is." Frankish Chief Masase said.

The envoy of the Jin army immediately said: "Do you think that the Romans gave you wine and food and ceded land to you really to make peace with you?" Absolutely impossible, Julian is a villain, he is trying to confuse you with wine and food, and then use troops to the east wholeheartedly, after the problem in the east is solved, Julian will not be so polite to you, Julian will concentrate the army of Rome to exterminate all your Germanic tribes, so that you will disappear forever. ”

"Really? How can you know what Julian thinks. Ostrogothic Chief Masase said.

The envoy of the Jin army smiled and said: "You have been fighting with Julian for many years, do you still not know Julian?" You should know very well what kind of person Julian is, so I don't need to say more about this! ”

"Haha! Maybe you're right, but your Jin army seems to be very unconfident! If Julian loses to your Jin army, he won't be able to turn back against us, will he? Chief Frank said with a smile.

"That's right, isn't it true that your Jin commanders feel that they can't defeat Julian, so they have to ask us to help? What about sincerity? What about gifts? The Anglo chief said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
