"Messenger from Egypt, Armenian, priest Aphti of Macedonia."
Gongsun Hong counted them with his fingers: "There are also some tribes from Parthia to the north. Including our Han envoys are also on their way."
After the old man finished speaking, he took a step forward and looked at it with a smile: "Our country's fortunes are constantly rising. I, Dong Zhongshu, Dao Zun and others all have a vague sense of the path to the semi-saint.
But feeling it and actually entering it are two different things. "
"A nineteen-year-old military strategist and semi-saint. In our country for thousands of years, generations of outstanding people have shone in the long history, but you, Huo Hou, are the only one among them... Even among hundreds of schools of thought, there are not many who have reached semi-saint status. "
Several other people looked at Huo Qubing, their eyes filled with admiration and admiration.
The champion, who was less than twenty years old, had already entered the mythical level of a military strategist and a semi-saint, lighting up the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty and leaving his name in history.
"The Marquis has broken through to the semi-saint level in the past few days, and the world has been transformed. Our Han army and the people of the Han Dynasty have benefited a lot.
News came from Chang'an that His Majesty had added an imperial edict to grant a title to the king, and was on his way. "
Gongsun Hong continued: "Your Majesty's imperial edict has been issued. It is time for us to change our words and declare ourselves king in the future. You have broken through the miraculous power of the semi-saint, and everyone in the world has seen and felt it. The surrounding countries regard it as a miracle, so all parties heard the news and took action." .
Of course, the visitors might also be Roman spies, such as envoys from Egypt.
They sent the message in advance to ask for a meeting, and the person was still on his way.
Among all the families, Macedonia came to ask for reinforcements, and they were the first to arrive, right in the city. "
It was just after afternoon and the sun was just right.
"What did the Romans do after they captured Antioch, the Seleucid capital?"
The group of people walked towards the main hall, Huo Qubing asked as they walked.
“Their troops advanced four hundred miles eastward from Antioch, captured four cities in Seleucus, and formed a fan-shaped defense line. They then deployed Antioch as the core of the defense line, but did not continue to advance eastward. "Su Jiandao.
Everyone returned to the front hall. After Huo Qubing took his seat, he glanced at the march map spread out on the low mat.
There are dense annotations on the picture.
Huo Quezhi's retreat broke through the half saints. Su Jian and Gongsun He was afraid of leaks. The main thing was that he could replenish the enemy's marching line repeatedly on the marching map.
"The Romans took Antioch and were prudent not to continue eastward."
The position of Syride is at the same time to borders Pattia, Armenia, and Macedonia.
Macedonia and Armenia, one to the south and one to the north, sandwiched Seleucus in the middle.
And Seleucid continued to the east, which was Parthia.
The Romans have Sylug, which is equivalent to opening the road of eastward, which is good for them.
They can attack the Macedonian flank by going south, and they can attack Armenia by crossing diagonally to the northeast.
Syluma is in the place of four wars, which is a must -have, and can be used flexibly.
But at the same time, if Armenia, the Han Army, and Macedonia raised their troops, they could be surrounded by Sylum, causing them to be enemy on three sides.
Therefore, the Romans would not dare to advance eastward until they solved Macedonia. Otherwise, if Macedonia kills a soldier and horse, you can break the rear, so that the Romans who continue eastward will be copied and dilemma.
Therefore, Rome captured Seleucus and did not continue to advance eastward, but wanted to stabilize its hand first.
They need to capture Macedonia to maintain their balance with the Han Army, and they do not suffer in the geographical situation.
The Macedonian people also saw the key, afraid that Rome would fight them all, so they couldn't wait to let Huo get sick to help.
As an ambassador, Afuti came to see each other day and night, and he asked for help.
"Go and ask the Macedonian envoy to come in." Huo Qubing ordered.
Afti was waiting outside the palace.
Also with her is the Macedonian Pearl Mennon Ruby.
Let two of the most beautiful women in Macedonia come with them. Perseus, the leader of Macedonia, obviously knows how to work well with men and women.
The deserted and elegant Afti stood outside the palace with a calm expression.
The sun fell on her body, and even the shadows on the ground were undulating and graceful.
Rhodie on her side, the freehand golden long hair was tied with a gem crown, and the willow waist was covered with a white and silver -mosaic width seal.
Under the long and white neck, the round neck opened a bit, revealing the exquisite collarbone with shoulder nests.
Luo Di was a little nervous when he heard the soldiers summoning them to go in.
Before she came, Perseus IV personally talked to her, including Afti, and told them that this trip was crucial and that they should use all means to request the Han army to send troops.
It is related to thousands of lives in Macedonia, and even the rise and fall of the country.
As for what exactly it means to use all means, sending the two of them together already speaks volumes.
Luo Di took a deep breath, patted his chest where the mountains and hills would block his sight when he lowered his head, and followed the soldiers into the palace.
"Is this the human palace of Ctesiphon?"
Ruddy looked at the white and towering stone pillars and spectacular palace architecture of the Patia Palace.
Patia's country was formerly Nisa, but the Palace of the world in Taixi, famous in the Central Sea, is known as the residence of God in the world.
After Patiam moved to the Caspiene of the country, Mitrida ladder stayed in the Palace of the Palace.
It is hard to imagine that with Parthia's national and military power, this majestic royal city in front of them was captured by the Han army in one night.
"Afti, are you nervous?" Luo Di asked softly.
Afti gave a loud noise, no.
While talking, they walked through the extremely luxurious corridor paved with light blue gems and entered the palace hall from the main entrance.
Sitting on the throne at the end of the hall was Huo Qubing, who was dressed in military uniform, silver armor and red robe.
Behind his side wings, he was wearing light armor and charming Bai Nanyu.
The leaders on the left and right sides are Su Jian, Gongsun Hong and other civil and military officials.
Under the leadership of his relatives, Aphris stepped forward to salute.
Huo Qubing said straightforwardly: "Do you want to ask for the Han army to send troops?"
"Dear Commander."
Avti spoke in Chinese and performed the ceremony again.
This time she used the ancient ritual of kneeling down on one knee and touching her chest with her right hand.
It was not easy to get this proud priestess to meet the gods, especially when she had a clear faith.
"On our way here, we sensed and saw the visions of heaven and earth caused by your breakthrough in rank, Commander-in-Chief, and the entire area thousands of miles away was covered by your divine power.
As a priest serving the gods, I can also feel the power fluctuations spread by you during your practice. Even the stars will be affected by you.
The depth of your divine power is astonishing. Even Alexander the Great, at your age, could not advance as far as you in the divine throne.
Unbelievable, you are a world of world! "
The titles of divine power cultivation, demigods, worldly gods, etc. in Western countries correspond to the demigods of Han Dynasty.
"His Majesty Pelusi IV, let me bring the most sincere and respectful greetings."
Avti's voice was clear and she said eloquently: "Your Majesty said that he is willing to follow the commander's previous suggestion and is honored to become a vassal of a demigod. I hope you can assign an invincible army under your command to help us defeat our old enemy. Roman.
For this reason, we are willing to dedicate everything to you, commander-in-chief, and become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, as long as we can maintain self-control.
The owner also brought me two gifts and presented to the commander. "
From the perspective of the envoy, Afti did very badly, but at the same time very good.
What's bad is that no envoy will reveal all his or her background as soon as they come up, leaving no trump card behind. They will make their intentions and minimum demands clear and clear, leaving no room for bargaining.
Blushingly stupid.
But what she did well was also because she showed a candid attitude from the beginning, putting herself on the weak side and allowing others to slaughter her.
Because she is a favored one by God, she knows very well what it means to play tricks in front of a demigod.
She was both stupid and smart, and she revealed her trump card, waiting for Huo Qubing to take advantage of her without any hesitation.
Huo Qubing laughed dumbly: "You are very smart."
Then he ordered his soldiers:
"Go and send an order to Zhang Cigong, who is leading the troops abroad, and ask him to move from the northwest of Parthia to the southwest corner of Armenia and move westward, and press forward with troops."
Everyone looked thoughtful when they heard this.
After a while, several people reacted one after another.
Avti said happily: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief, for your help."
Luo Di, who couldn't understand Chinese, had a face full of confusion and didn't know what they were talking about. Afti explained the conversation just now to her and said: "The Han army sent troops from Armenia to the west.
If the Roman troops and horses on the front line in Antioch dare to attack Macedonia, the Han army will be able to move south and attack the Roman army's rear, leaving them vulnerable to enemies from both directions. "
Luo Di suddenly realized that a slight mobilization of the Han army's troops and horses could significantly reduce Rome's threat to Macedonia.
Luo Di glanced at Huo Qubing.
This is actually a legendary god who entered the world...
"Will the commander-in-chief send troops to help Macedonia fight against Rome?" Afti asked.
Huo Qubing: “I am fulfilling our covenant by sending troops to suppress Rome from the north and prevent them from attacking Macedonia from the south.
Macedonia has been fighting against Rome for many years, and this time I will lend you the twelve temple pillars to strengthen its defense.
If we can't withstand the Roman offensive and are defeated by them in a short time, then what use do I need allies like you? "
Avti's face turned slightly pale.
When Huo Qubing saw the blood, the meaning was clear.
Even though Macedonia still has some strength left, it wants to use the Han army's front to save itself money and deal with Rome, but there is no way.
Now is the time for Macedonia to work hard, work for the big man, and show its own value.
If they cannot show their due value, Huo Qubing will sit back and watch Macedonia be killed by the Romans, and then take over the battle himself, instead of sending troops to help now and let the Macedonians save consumption.
You need to figure out who works for whom.
"If there is nothing else, you can go back and convey my message to Perseus IV."
"We can send the news back through the Book of God's Favor. The Lord of the Kingdom said that after our visit, we can stay by the commander's side to serve, if... the commander-in-chief is willing."
After Afti finished speaking, she suddenly felt a line of sight falling on her. It was the overly beautiful Han woman next to Huo Qubing.
Bai Nanyu looked at the two Western women and thought: It seems that I have to find an opportunity to let Qingke pass the message to Her Royal Highness the Princess. These Westerners want to seduce the Marquis with their beauty. It makes no sense for Her Royal Highness the Princess to be on guard against me every day, but for them to get close to the Marquis for no reason.
Bai Huoshui felt that since he had no reputation and no status, it would be inconvenient for him to directly engage in jealousy. He immediately thought of killing someone with a borrowed knife, so that Her Royal Highness, the principal wife, could get rid of the coquettish people who wanted to get close to the Marquis.
Bai Nanyu pursed her soft lips and thought: Another advantage of leaking the news to the princess is that it can divert her attention from me to other people, so that we can all communicate to the outside world...
Huo Qubing said: "You two go back to Macedonia first and convey my wishes to Perseus."
Afti hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and she and Luo Di stood up, saluted, and walked out.
…
Huo Qubing broke through to semi-sainthood, and a few close people gathered together to have a roasted whole lamb meal, which was considered a simple celebration.
The glow of the setting sun illuminates the sky.
In the bedroom, Bai Nanyu was dressed in a Chinese skirt and middle coat, and was making Huo Qubing's bed.
Huo Qubing went to take a bath and came out, watching the troops and horses sent from various places and the current situation in Parthia.
Bai Nanyu made the bed, came behind him, and helped him tie his hair and crown.
Suddenly, Huo Qubing felt soft and comfortable behind his back, and a refreshing aroma lingered in his nose.
Bai Nanyu put her arms around his waist from behind.
"Master Hou..."
Bai Nanyu's thick and straight eyelashes drooped slightly, and the side of her face was pressed against Huo Qubing's back.
But then she was brought to him by Huo Qubing.
The calves and bare feet that poked out from under her skirt seemed to be more delicate and fairer than the white tunic, and the shape of her feet was even more graceful and delicate. Huo Qubing played with them, and they felt as delicate as brocade.
Bai Nanyu adjusted her position and looked resigned.
"Master Hou, are you going out tonight?"
Huo Qubing nodded, and Bai Nanyu said, "I also want to join the Marquis."
Huo Qubing smiled and his eyes fell on Bai Nanyu's face.
She leaned forward, raised her face, and closed her eyes lightly.
We should find an opportunity to eat this trouble...
Soon night fell.
Huo Qubing started practicing and took Bai Nanyu with him, and disappeared out of thin air in a flash.
I said before that I wanted to explore the details of Rome.
Huo Qubing was newly promoted to semi-saint, and with the shadow of Han Xin, even if the gods gathered in Rome, the two of them were sure they could come and go safely.
Huo Qubing's current practice is to support military strategies and move at an unbelievable speed.
An undercurrent passed through the void.
Nearing the early hours of the morning, the three of them had crossed the long road, and in front of them appeared the outline of a huge city built on continuous low hills.
That is Rome, known as the City of Miracles, the City of Seven Hills!
In the city, the broad main street is lined with the Senate, temples dedicated to the gods, and the consul's residence, as well as the majestic Palace of Justice, gorgeous squares, and lush vegetation.
The three of them easily avoided the city defenses and entered the city.
Bai Nanyu didn't know that there was a shadow following him secretly. She reached out and hooked Huo Qubing as if it was a date, and walked forward leisurely.
Huo Qubing released his spiritual thoughts, sensed the epic poems of the gods, and arrived at the central area of the city.
