The east of Eurasia is in the final battle of unification, which is the last pain experienced before the rise of a glorious empire in the East, at the same time, the West is also in the midst of war, the power struggle between the Roman Emperor and the Senate in the Roman Empire is still ongoing, on the other hand, the army led by Caracalla, the second prince of the Roman Empire, finally broke through the most important fortress in the west of Abella, and then broke the defense line of the combined army of Anxi and Harazm in Orsays, more than two hundred miles east of Abella, Attack the most important pass in the middle of the rest, under the city of Caspan.

In this series of battles, the Spartan army that Caracalla had high hopes for was particularly eye-catching, in the battle of the Ossaith Plain to break the combined army of Sabbator and Flower Thornzim, a Spartan warrior of 5,000 people actually tore through the opponent's defense line of 30,000 people head-on, which was also the turning point of this battle, although I don't want to admit it, but these Spartan warriors are indeed extremely strong and good at fighting, in addition, all kinds of new weapons in the Caracalla army also played a great role in the war, especially as a weapon of divine fire, with it, that kind of wooden walled city is no longer an advantage for the defender.

By the time Caracalla's 300,000-strong army reached Caspan, it was exhausted and the logistical front was a great burden, so the leading general, Seth, decided to scatter his army back to Ossaith to rest and consolidate his gains.

This Seth's identity is somewhat complicated, that is, he is a genius general, and he is also the in-law of Caracalla, so he is extremely sincere to Caracalla, but Caracalla does not seem to fully trust him, although Seth has the command of 300,000 elites, but this is only temporary.

Caracalla has developed a system. It is stipulated that generals above the rank of corps commander are permanently stationed in the capital, and only have temporary wielding power. In peacetime, there is no command, and the command is in the hands of the commanders of the corps at all levels. Even so, Caracalla still had the priest constantly emphasize loyalty in the army.

And the one who taught Caracalla all this was an Oriental who fled from the East, as for whether it was a Han Chinese, or a Huns, or someone of other races, I don't know, but for Caracalla, this Oriental can be described as a wise man!

Caracalla's army consisted of ten legions. 500,000 men, about 50,000 per legion, two of which had no commanders, more precisely, the commander of these two legions was Caracalla himself, and these two legions were Caracalla's Guards, stationed in the barracks outside the capital all year round.

Turn your gaze back to the Central Plains.

After Cao Cao annihilated Sun Ce, he returned to Wu County and immediately informed Chibi and Niu of the incident. At the same time, Hu Zhao, who had accompanied Zhang Liao, to send people to persuade Sun Jian to give up resistance.

After finishing his business, Cao Cao came to the wing room in the backyard, and Sun Ce, who was seriously injured, was lying motionless on the bed, already bandaged. Beside him stood two middle-aged medical craftsmen, both of whom were proud disciples of Hua Tuo and were good at treating external injuries.

Cao Cao stepped forward. glanced at Sun Ce on the bed and asked, "How is he?" ”

One of them replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured! No big deal! Rest for a few days and you'll be able to wake up! ”

Cao Cao nodded. Then he asked, "Did you give him an anesthetic?" ”

"Used! These anesthetics not only alleviate his pain, but also make him powerless to use force! ”

Cao Cao explained some things again. And he left.

In the hall at this time, all the generals were again, and after Cao Cao arrived, he asked Gao Shun in the left column: "General Gao, how is the situation of the Wu army?" ”

Gao Shun replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the Wu army is quite stable, but they want to see Sun Ce, and the last general has already pacified them for the time being." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Well done!" ”

Cao Cao turned his head to Gao Ran and said, "Gao Ran, the army is temporarily stationed here, you go and do the relevant things!" ”

"No!"

Cao Cao's gaze moved to Zhu Rong's face, and he smiled and said to Zhu Rong: "Zhu Rong, you led the barbarian army back to Jianye, the troops in that area are relatively empty, and there are several bandit armies and barbarian armies that have not surrendered to it in the south!" ”

"I personally led the army to reinforce Meng Qi, Fengxiao and Yuan Rang, and the two of you also went with me." Cao Cao said.

"The last general (Weichen) takes the order!" The two promised.

"Gao Lan, Gao Shun, after I leave, the matter here in Wu County will be handed over to the two of you! Don't let me down! Cao Cao admonished.

Gao Ran and Gao Shun bowed together: "Follow Your Majesty's orders!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said: "Gao Ran is in charge of military affairs, and Gao Shun is in charge of internal affairs!" Your main responsibility now is to pacify the people here! By the way, when the rebels come, you will be responsible for adapting them! ”

"Your Majesty, what if the other party does not obey our adaptation?" Gao Ran asked.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "You guys can do it yourself!" Remember, though, minimize killings! ”

"The last will be ordered!"

"Send a message to the Xuanjia cavalry flying pigeons, and make them turn around and go straight to Niufu!" Cao Cao said to the herald.

"No."

Early the next morning, just as Cao Cao was about to leave Niu Fu, he suddenly received an urgent flying pigeon from Shicheng.

After Cao Cao read the handbook, a look of surprise flashed on his face.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Guo Jia couldn't help but ask urgently.

Cao Cao said: "Before yesterday evening, the scouts showed the traces of Liu's army in the hills east of Shicheng, Meng Qi immediately led a team of Hun cavalry to attack, a drum to defeat the other party, Meng Qi led 20,000 Hun cavalry to pursue, but in Shicheng dozens of miles east of the ambush of Liu's army, 20,000 Hun cavalry basically wiped out, only more than 1,000 horsemen escaped, and Meng Qi was seriously wounded! ”

"What about the situation in Stone City? What is Liu Jun doing now? Guo Jia asked two questions in a row, and he didn't seem to care about Ma Chao's life and death at all.

Cao Cao said: "The situation in Shicheng is not bad! Zhuge Liang scattered after his attack on Shicheng was frustrated! ”

Cao Cao then sneered, "Does this Zhuge Kongming think that our army is the same as the ordinary army?" The elite of our army will not collapse even if all the officers are killed! Tell the order to go down and go now! ”

"No!" The herald answered and hurried out.

At the same time that Cao Cao led 5,000 Imperial Forest troops to Shicheng, Zhuge Liang had already led his army to retreat to Shenting Forest.

Zhuge Liang ordered Huang Zhong and Huo Jun to stay in the Shenting Forest, and put all the troops except the Yulin Army on the Shenting Forest.

Zhuge Liang's current total strength is less than 50,000 people, except for the consumption of the previous ambush horse overtime, there are only more than 40,000 left, of which the most effective is the 8,000 Yulin Iron Cavalry, and a considerable number of the rest of the army are newly recruited new troops.
