In the country of barbarians, in the capital, Augustus was sulking.
Since the war with the Qin people, bad news has come one after another, and there has been no good news at all.
Antony is known as a talented general, but he keeps losing battles, which is really annoying.
Augustus didn't remember how many things he had thrown, and his temper had become increasingly grumpy recently.
The only person who could give Augustus spiritual comfort was David.
David was a close friend of Augustus. He understood Augustus's thoughts, and Augustus also understood his thoughts.
The two people cherish each other and have a close heart.
When Augustus was depressed, David came in with wine.
Augustus, who was originally depressed, suddenly brightened up after seeing him.
David said softly: "It's useless to worry about this kind of thing. It's better to calm down and think about a solution."
Augustus nodded with deep understanding.
He took the wine glass passed by David, and you drank one glass at a time.
After drinking, Augustus couldn't help himself and hugged David.
Augustus said to David, "You will be the next Augustus."
David was overjoyed, but he refused firmly: "No, you are the great Augustus, and you will always be the great Augustus."
Augustus chuckled: "How can we talk about eternity?"
People are always going to die. Mortals are not gods after all.
What really worries Augustus is not the distant death, but the recent disaster.
It's those Qin people.
Judging from the battle reports ahead, it seems that the Qin people have begun to encroach on this land.
They occupied high mountains and ridges, places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. And it confused many poor people.
Those civilians, slaves... mixed with the Qin people, committed evil acts, and were enemies of the ruler of this land.
Damn it, really damn it.
They obviously deserved to die, but Augustus had nothing to do but watch them do evil here.
Shame, really shame.
David felt Augustus's emotions.
He said softly: "I have a suggestion."
Augustus asked, "What do you suggest?"
David said: "This group of Qin people who have come from afar are very cunning. It is not easy to destroy them because they always run away. Even if you want to find them, it is difficult to find them."
Augustus nodded with deep understanding.
David then said, "If that's the case, why should we arrest them again?"
"Now the Qin people are pressing closer and closer to our country. We might as well send people to attack their country directly. Their own country has been attacked, do they still have the intention to stay here?"
"In this case, they will naturally withdraw."
Augustus said happily: "Great idea, great idea."
David was very happy to be praised by Augustus and couldn't help but grin.
However, after Augustus said the clever plan, he did not send an order to do so.
David looked at Augustus with some confusion.
Augustus sighed and said: "Your plan is indeed very good, and I have thought of it before. We really have the same mind."
"It's just that the troops sent failed."
"The Qin people have a strong castle and the defense is airtight. We can't attack at all. We lost our troops and pushed back all the way. In the end, the Qin people overtook us and suffered heavy losses."
David was surprised: "Qin people, are they so powerful?"
Augustus nodded slowly: "It's not that they are powerful. They are very evil. They have many weird weapons. They can attract thunder. When those thunders sound, all our horses will be frightened."
David was silent: "It's almost witchcraft to be able to attract thunder from the sky."
Suddenly, he suddenly realized and said to Augustus: "Those Qin people talk about banishing immortals. Does this so-called banishing immortals mean gods? Are there gods in their country?"
Augustus said nothing, he had also thought about this possibility. And the more he thought about it, the more it seemed true.
Augustus was under great pressure these days, but he never showed it to others.
David brought another drink and said to Augustus: "Drink, drink, you won't know anything when you're drunk."
Augustus nodded slowly: "Yes, you don't know anything when you are drunk."
So, the two of them drank the wine glasses in one gulp.
When the two of them were drunk and wanted to take a bath together, a guard suddenly ran in in a hurry.
David's eyes were solemn and he looked at the guard with some displeasure.
Everyone knows about his relationship with Augustus, but he doesn't want to make it public now.
After all, he was going to be the next Augustus.
However...the guard's words moved David's heart, and he had no intention of holding the guard accountable.
The guard said: "I found a group of Qin people, about ten people. They all rode fast horses, coming and going like the wind."
Augustus was too drunk to react.
And David woke up instantly.
He immediately stood up and said: "Catch them quickly, catch them quickly."
As long as the Qin people are captured, they can ask about the Qin people's situation. You can prescribe the right medicine, and you can...
Then Augustus' sorrow would cease to exist. Then you can have this impregnable country.
So, David was happy and excited...
So, he kept trying to catch these Qin people.
The guard said with some embarrassment: "Those craftsmen are very cunning. They come and go without a trace. Occasionally they pop up and disappear again. It is really difficult to catch them."
David sneered and said, "Can't catch anyone? Then send more people. The surrounding area is impenetrable. Not only do you need to send people to arrest, but you also need to arrange detailed operations and collect information along the way."
"Once you find their traces, report them immediately, and then the entire army will gather there. These people don't have wings. How can they escape?"
The guard responded and hurried away.
Now that David has given the order, the army can be mobilized.
As a result, the entire barbarian country took action.
The pressure on the two base areas of Feng Quili and Lishui was suddenly reduced a lot. They took the opportunity to develop vigorously and connected several surrounding base areas into one...
They even took the opportunity to occupy a city that was completely surrounded.
If this development continues, in another year and a half, more than half of the barbarian country will be eaten away.
As for the barbarian country, they no longer care about Li Shui and others. They are all busy arresting the Qin people.
This group of so-called meticulous workers is the team led by Zhao Tuo.
They came to rescue Wang Wu.
