In the main hall.
Lu Xuan came out refreshed.
Olivia's actions remained slightly unchanged, but she was more delicate than flowers, with a slight blush on her face. She looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, are you willing to negotiate peace with Parthia?"
Lu Xuan said: "Whether we want to negotiate peace or not does not depend on me, but on the rest of the country."
Olivia fell silent for a moment.
She still had a trace of hope in her heart and said, "As long as His Majesty the Emperor is generous, nothing will be a problem."
Lu Xuan said: "I am naturally willing to be generous. For your sake, I will not take the initiative to attack An'an. However, if An'an wants to take the initiative to kill, is it difficult for me to give up the country?"
"Obviously, this is impossible."
"Even if I agree, thousands of Ming soldiers will not agree."
"Otherwise, it will be a loss of power and humiliation of the country."
Lu Xuan looked at Olivia in front of him with a calm expression. He is the emperor first and will consider personal interests secondly. Everything must be based on the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, now that the Roman Empire is coming, Lu Xuan's focus should be on fighting Queen Victoria.
The next step is the Parthian Empire.
It would be okay if Parthia took the initiative to give in. If the Parthian Kingdom also wanted to start a war, Lu Xuan would naturally not be afraid.
After listening to Lu Xuan's words, Olivia thought for a while and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a request."
Lu Xuan asked: "What request?"
Olivia quickly said: "I want to go back to Anxi and dissuade my father from starting a war."
Lu Xuan began to think in his heart.
Olivia went back to dissuade her?
Does she really want to dissuade him, or is she taking the opportunity to escape.
However, according to Lu Xuan's opinion, Olivia may have truly believed that the Parthian Empire was defeated by the Ming Dynasty after seeing the Ming Dynasty's combat power. For the time being, it should be impossible to attack the Ming Dynasty.
This is Olivia's political weakness. Going back to dissuade her will actually add fuel to the fire.
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Olivia, let me remind you. Maybe it would be better if you didn't remind you. If you remind and dissuade, the final result may be that the Parthian Kingdom speeds up the war. Have you seriously considered it?"
"Think about it!"
Olivia nodded in reply.
She looked determined and said: "I must go back to dissuade my father. I hope the two countries will have a truce."
Lu Xuan weighed it up and decided that Olivia would leave Fahrenheit City and go north. It would be some time before she could go back. As for the Roman Empire, there was also a period of time when both countries committed suicide, and he was able to deal with it at any time without being unable to deal with it.
Lu Xuan said: "Since you want to go back, I agree. Although there is no relationship between me and you, we are just a husband and wife. But if the Parthian Empire detains you or does something unfavorable to you, I will definitely The one who sent troops to attack the Parthian kingdom."
Olivia was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that the emperor would say such words.
Olivia was slightly moved, but she suppressed it instantly. The emperor was his enemy, and she couldn't have the slightest emotion.
Olivia took a deep breath and said: "I have remembered His Majesty the Emperor's kindness. Time is running out. I will leave today. Please ask His Majesty the Emperor to give me a horse and a spear."
Lu Xuan said: "Can your body be stable now?"
Olivia's face turned red.
Now, I feel a little uncomfortable and I really need to take some rest.
Lu Xuan said: "Have another day's rest and set off to go back tomorrow morning. At that time, I will select a few prisoners from your Parthian Kingdom, and you will go back with them. It would be nice to have someone to take care of you on the way."
After Olivia hesitated for a while, she nodded in agreement.
Lu Xuan left Olivia behind and had someone prepare a sumptuous meal. He ate with Olivia and took Olivia for a walk around Fahrenheit City. In the evening, he took Olivia to stay in the palace, and the next morning, he personally sent Olivia away.
After sending Olivia away, Lu Xuan returned to the main hall. Near noon, Cao Cao came in a hurry.
Cao Cao looked eager and saluted: "Your Majesty, I just heard the news that you released Olivia and allowed her to return to the country?"
"yes!"
Lu Xuan nodded and answered.
Cao Cao's dark face turned red with anger. He couldn't help stamping his feet and said impatiently: "Your Majesty, Olivia is the princess of Parthia. You should make her your concubine now."
"If Olivia is left behind, the rulers and ministers of the Parthian Empire will not be able to ignore her. They will definitely send troops to attack. Now, your Majesty has released Olivia, which is equivalent to sending her back, and the Parthian Empire can stop sending troops."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."
Cao Cao said: "I suggest that we immediately arrange for people to capture Olivia to prevent her from escaping."
"unnecessary!"
Lu Xuan shook his head and explained: "My father-in-law's plan is actually my plan. However, we don't need to worry at all. The Parthian Empire will definitely send troops."
Cao Cao asked: "Why?"
Lu Xuanyan said concisely and comprehensively: "The reason is very simple, Olivia has become my woman." I got in touch with Olivia and found that she was quite good at marching and fighting and had some good insights. "
"But this woman is politically weak."
"No strategic vision."
"It's too simple."
"She has seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty and believes that the Parthian Empire is no match for our Ming Dynasty. She is going back now to dissuade the king of the Parthian Empire from fighting us."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently and said: "If she really did it, it would add fuel to the fire and further encourage the rest of the Parthian Empire to go to war with us. After all, she is my woman, but she thinks that the Parthian Empire cannot win. , is to encourage others’ ambition and destroy one’s own prestige.”
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, there is such a relationship, and the emperor's considerations do make sense.
Cao Cao said solemnly: "What if she deceived His Majesty?"
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if she cheated. No matter what, she is my woman now. For the Parthian Empire, Olivia lost all his troops and became my woman. , now that she has gone back, won’t the rest of the Anxi Empire want to start a war? The monarchs and ministers will definitely mobilize troops. This arrangement is also beneficial to us. "
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he praised: "Your Majesty is wise, this old minister was confused for a while and didn't understand it, let alone think it through."
Lu Xuan said: "We are currently engaged in many wars. First, the Parthian Empire is very likely to go to war with us. The time of the war is uncertain, and it should be later than the Roman Empire."
"After all, Olivia has just started her return journey."
"The Roman Empire is most likely to be the first to attack. It has been some time since we came back from Suratra City. Furthermore, Valens sent a letter back to the Roman Empire before. .”
Lu Xuan smiled softly and said: "So generally speaking, the army of the Roman Empire should arrive earlier."
Cao Cao's eyes brightened even more after hearing this.
There was a fiery light shining in his eyes.
There is war!
This is the opportunity!
When Cao Cao returned to Huashi City, his life was relaxed and very comfortable, but after a while, he felt a little bored. There still has to be war to have fun and to arouse his fighting spirit.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and said quickly: "Your Majesty, since the Roman Empire's army may be coming, we should make arrangements now. I believe that we must make a response plan. When the Roman Empire's army comes, we will It’s good to start a war.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Father-in-law is right. You are here today, and I also plan to talk about this matter. Regarding the war with the Roman Empire, should we adopt a strategy of direct interception at sea, or should we allow the other party to land on the shore? , a strategy for further encirclement and suppression?”
Cao Cao said without thinking: "The easiest way is to block them first and weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness. This time, we will directly block them at sea and prevent them from landing."
Lu Xuan said: "What if the Roman Empire loses and evacuates directly?"
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.
This is really the case, this is very likely to happen.
Cao Cao thought about it carefully and said: "Your Majesty, I think Rome will definitely attack fiercely no matter what. Therefore, I think they will not retreat after encountering a slight setback, but will continue to attack."
"After all, Your Majesty specially sent back more than a thousand Roman soldiers."
"That would surely irritate the queen of Rome."
"We first use the port to hold off for a while, preventing the Roman army from landing. We first weaken the opponent's morale, and then we give the opponent a slight chance to allow the opponent to land, and then we will annihilate the opponent on land."
Cao Cao's eyes were very bright and he said: "As long as the opponent's army is weakened first, our subsequent battles will be easier."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "My father-in-law's arrangement is indeed feasible, so it's settled. Send an order to Guan Yu, who is in charge of Suratto City, and ask him to pay close attention. When the Roman Empire's army arrives, we will go to the front line in person."
"I obey your Majesty's instructions."
Cao Cao happily agreed.
Fighting with the Roman Empire, and then fighting with the Parthian Empire after the fight, this is interesting.
