The sun rises and sets, and night falls.
It is already a November night, but the weather is still as cool as autumn, with no tendency to be cold at all.
Lu Xuan's army was stationed outside the city.
The troops in each department were resting, but most of the soldiers were sleeping in their clothes, ready to fight at any time. Once the drum sounds to mobilize troops, everyone will assemble in the shortest possible time.
In the Chinese army's tent.
Lu Xuan, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were drinking and chatting.
The atmosphere is very relaxed.
For them, Victoria came from the Roman Empire and went to fight in foreign battlefields like Tianzhu, which meant abandoning her home court and fighting away from home, without any advantage. On the contrary, it was Lu Xuan who captured Hua's City and had been operating it for a while, so he had enough advantages.
This is Lu Xuan's confidence.
In addition, Valens surrendered and killed Libius, Lu Xuan felt no more pressure.
Now, just wait and see.
What should be arranged has been arranged, what should be arranged has been laid out, just waiting for Victoria to take the bait.
Guo Jiaxiao said: "Your Majesty, King Qin said he would capture Victoria. I think there is definitely a chance this time. But I have a plan for the next arrangement."
Lu Xuan asked: "What are your plans?"
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "Make full use of Valens, develop this person into our strength, and further destroy the Roman Empire."
Lu Xuan suddenly became interested.
Destroy the Roman Empire.
This is his ambition.
Cao Cao also looked over and said quickly: "What does Military Advisor Guo plan to do?"
At this moment, both Cao Cao and Lu Xuan were very curious about Guo Jia's arrangement, because Valens had submitted before. Now he wanted to take advantage of it further and use Valens to destroy the Roman Empire. This was a big deal.
It depends on how Guo Jia prepares.
Guo Jia had a faint smile on his face and said: "This time, we captured Queen Victoria and captured all the Roman Empire troops. Because we controlled the port and coastline and blocked all Roman armies."
"Next step, let Valens take the people back."
"He went back ready to take power."
"This is my plan."
"The Ming court supports Valens and lets him serve as our agent. First, let our people continue to gain a foothold. As long as our people enter the Roman Empire on a large scale, it will not be difficult to swallow up Rome in the next step."
Guo Jia said: "Supporting Valens is destroying the Roman Empire."
Cao Cao frowned, with a serious look on his face, and said: "It is not easy to support Valens as a filial piety. The most obvious point is that after Valens was out of our control, it was completely fine for him to return to the Roman Empire. Ignore us."
Guo Jia said calmly: "King Qin, Valens betrayed the Roman Empire, betrayed Victoria, and killed many Roman soldiers. These criminal evidences are all certified physical evidence."
"What's more, Queen Victoria is still in our hands. If Valens doesn't cooperate, then use Victoria to go back, or use the Roman army generals under Victoria to lead her back."
"These people will definitely hate Valens."
"In fact, I think that after what happened before, Valens will not refuse. He knows better that without the support of the Ming Dynasty, he is nothing. With the support of the Ming Dynasty, he will have more benefits .”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "I believe that your Majesty will arrange this and it will be completed smoothly."
Lu Xuan suddenly had a smile in his eyes.
Guo Jia's plan is actually feasible.
If they fought on the mainland of the Roman Empire, even if Victoria could be captured alive, more Roman Empire soldiers would inevitably escape. If you want to support Valens, you can't block the news.
Now, the battlefield is in Tianzhu.
Information can naturally be blocked.
This is the opportunity.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I also think Feng Xiao's suggestion is very feasible. Next, I will meet Valens in person and talk to him. This person needs to be won over, but he also needs to be beaten. .”
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Guo Jia smiled and spoke.
Cao Cao said: "I will wait and see."
Lu Xuan nodded. Guo Jia and Cao Cao stood up and left. Lu Xuan arranged for someone to notify Valens to come and see him.
After a while, Valens entered.
The look on Valens' face seemed a little panicked, because today he was forced to go up and curse Victoria and criticize the Queen in front of all the Roman Empire troops.
These things further cut off his options.
At the same time, it also further plunged his family into a desperate situation.
Valens was very angry, desperate, helpless, and even a little depressed. However, he was a weak person and could not make up his mind to commit suicide, so he could only live as a weak and incompetent person.
Valens fell to his knees on the ground and shouted: "Valens pays homage to His Majesty."
Lu Xuan said: "Get up."
Valens stood up and stood respectfully. He was in great awe of Lu Xuan. In his eyes, the emperor's methods far exceeded those of Queen Victoria. It seems that Victoria is very powerful. In fact, compared with the emperor, Victoria is far behind.
Everything about Victoria is calculated.
The emperor is the real ruthless man.
Lu Xuan looked at Valens and did not speak immediately. At this moment, Valens was even more frightened and nervous.
He was worried about being disposed of.
He feared for his life.
After all, the emperor is moody. What if he is angry because he failed to capture Surudha City today?
After a long time, Lu Xuan said: "Valens!"
"exist!"
Valens came to his senses instantly and spoke loudly.
What he is saying now is crappy Ming Dynasty language. This is something he has been learning every day since he was captured. Because he was forced by the pressure of survival and wanted to survive, he learned quickly.
Although lame, he can still talk fluently.
Lu Xuan said: "Now that Victoria is staying in Suratu City, Libius has been killed. It can be said that Victoria is a trapped beast, and defeat will happen sooner or later. Do you think that is right?"
Valens said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, this woman Victoria will definitely fail."
Lu Xuan said: "Tianzhu is far away from the Roman Empire, and this time, Victoria got into the city of Sutra and lost the port. This means that after his defeat, he has no way to retreat. I want to capture Victoria alive, but , I also hope to support an obedient person to return to the Roman Empire again."
call! !
Valens' breathing suddenly became urgent.
He looked extremely anxious.
Go back home!
This is what he dreams of.
After becoming a prisoner, he dreamed back countless times at midnight, dreaming about his family and the children at home. Now, Lu Xuan said in front of him that he wanted to support someone to return to the country, and he said it specifically to him.
Obviously, to support him.
Valens licked his chapped lips and said quickly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I, Valens, swear to be loyal to you to the death. In my eyes, you are the king of kings, the most powerful, wise and wise in the world. A big-hearted person.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Are you really willing to swear allegiance to the death?"
"willing!"
Valens answered again.
Lu Xuan said: "I will let you join the Roman Empire. Are you willing to continue to be loyal?"
"I am willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor resolutely."
Valens answered without thinking.
He was not a fool. He had seen the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army and knew that the Ming army was invincible. The most important point is that he once slandered Victoria in front of countless people, and even betrayed the Roman Empire early on.
Although he can go back, people like Victoria will not be killed and will definitely be controlled by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan controls these people and can threaten him at any time.
As long as he disobeys, Lu Xuan letting a few people go back will be enough to deal a fatal blow to him. Therefore, if he follows Lu Xuan honestly, he may be able to gain greater rights in the future.
Lu Xuan looked at Valens' appearance and chuckled: "I thought you were going to pretend to be perfunctory and betray me when you return to the Roman Empire and continue to be enemies of my Ming Dynasty? Oh, what a pity. You don’t have the guts.”
Valens knelt on the ground again.
He looked serious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I will never be perfunctory and swear to be loyal to you to the death. I know my abilities very well, and I know even more clearly that I can only have a future by relying on His Majesty the Emperor."
"His Majesty the Emperor is an unprecedented emperor. He will definitely make further conquests and attack the Roman Empire."
"I know His Majesty the Emperor's ability and will definitely capture Rome."
"I know that the future Rome will definitely be an area under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Why should I go back to commit any betrayal and become an enemy of His Majesty the Emperor? This is not something a wise man is willing to do."
Valens said loudly: "Therefore, I will stand by your side unswervingly and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Hahaha……"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
Valens is an interesting guy.
Know the current affairs.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "I don't care whether you betrayed me or not, because if you betrayed me, I will take over the Roman Empire in the future and kill your Valens family. Besides, if you betrayed me, I can put Victoria back."
"For me, and for the Ming Dynasty, a weakened Roman Empire is what I want to see."
"If you are obedient and cooperate, the Roman Empire will decline and achieve my goal. If you are disobedient and do not cooperate, I will eventually put the people of Victoria's family back, and you will still fight."
"Eventually, it would lead to the decline of the Roman Empire."
"No matter what, the result is the same."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "So, I don't care what you think. I don't care. Of course, if you cooperate honestly and obey my instructions, your Valens family will be even better in the future." Prosperity. You are just a grand duke now. Although you have some power, you are too weak. In the future, if you make great achievements, you will definitely go one step further and become my confidant, becoming one of the very few people who hold power in the Roman Empire."
Valens' breathing quickened.
Even more looking forward to it.
On his own, he could not go any further in this life.
With Lu Xuan's support, he has a chance.
If he had a way out, he might not rely on Lu Xuan because he was being controlled. However, he had no way out, and people like Victoria wanted to eat him and kill him.
Breaking up with Lu Xuan now would be self-destruction.
Valens said loudly: "Please rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor, if I can return to the Roman Empire, I will definitely split the Roman Empire. Moreover, I will definitely prepare for the landing of His Majesty the Emperor's troops."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I'll wait and see."
He waved his hand and said: "Okay, go down and wait for my news."
"As you command!"
Valens kowtowed to Lu Xuan and left in a hurry. But when he left, he felt a little high-spirited, because the rights he had lost were about to come back.
Lu Xuan looked at Valens' leaving back, smiled softly, and waited quietly.
Time passes little by little.
The night was getting darker and darker. When Lu Xuan was preparing to rest in the camp, Xu Chu suddenly entered in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, Military Advisor Guo and the King of Qin have asked for a meeting, saying that there is news of Queen Victoria sending troops."
"Please come in quickly."
Lu Xuan immediately gave an order.
His eyes were also looking forward to it. Victoria finally made some movement, and he was afraid that Victoria wouldn't move. As long as Victoria sends troops, everything will be easy.
