Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Father-in-law, what news is there from the Kangaroo Kingdom?"
Cao Cao looked serious and explained: "On the way here, I got news from the Kangaroo Kingdom. It was said that merchants landed in the Kangaroo Kingdom and discovered the lives of many indigenous people. It's just that the lives of these people are still very primitive. Most of them The place is deep in the mountains and old forests, and most of them still practice slash-and-burn farming.”
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that so?"
"That's right!"
Cao Cao answered firmly.
With helplessness written all over his face, he said: "Judging from the merchants' words, the Kangaroo Country is very vast and rich in materials. However, the development of the Kangaroo Country is so poor that it can be said to have no foundation. Therefore, I have an idea."
Lu Xuan asked: "Father-in-law, tell me?"
Cao Cao solemnly said: "I am willing to follow your Majesty to further conquer the Parthian and Roman Empires, and even sweep away the American Federation on the east side of the ocean. As for the Kangaroo Kingdom, it is too primitive and needs enough time to govern."
"I ask your Majesty's permission to let my son go to Kangaroo Country to run the business."
"At the very least, take a team of soldiers to land and clear up wasteland, continue to cut down forests, build cities, and attract people to live there. According to my judgment, even if you arrange it early, it won't be effective within a few decades."
"Your Majesty, please give me permission."
Cao Cao looked pitiful.
He admitted that the territory promised to him by the emperor was indeed very large and vast. The problem is that Kangaroo Country is too desolate and there is nothing to look forward to. It needs enough craftsmen to run it.
Cao Cao didn't have the patience to do so.
He was already old, and it would be more interesting to conquer Rome with Lu Xuan and conquer a large territory. It would be most appropriate to leave the management of Kangaroo Country to his son.
After all, Cao Pi worked very vigorously in Japan.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection to my father-in-law's request. But, who do you plan to arrange to go to the Kangaroo Country?"
"Cao Pi!"
Cao Cao answered without thinking.
He explained: "Cao Ang was used to being pampered in Nanjing. He had no experience in the outside world and could not bear the loneliness of the Kangaroo Kingdom. He had no choice but to send his second son Cao Pi. He served as a county magistrate in the Japanese Kingdom and was used to such an environment, so he went to the Kangaroo Kingdom. Can do things well.”
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "That's right!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Cao Cao was excited.
No matter what, it can be regarded as a step taken. Although Kangaroo Country is primitive, the Cao family can finally go to their own territory. With Cao Pi going south to run the Kangaroo Country first, cutting down more trees, cultivating more fields, and developing more people, the future will be better.
Lu Xuan said: "Father-in-law, I will draft an edict and send it back to China to inform Zhang Zhao, who will then inform the Japanese people. I'm afraid it will take a long time to get the news back and forth."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I have no objection. Thank you for your kindness."
Lu Xuan said: "We are all members of our own family. To say this is too foreign. To be honest, we have expanded so far and have captured Xizhou and Xiangzhou. Now that we have to further annex Anxi, our talent reserves are stretched thin. "
"Cao Pi going to Kangaroo Country is a good thing."
"I support it."
"But we have already started the conquest, so we cannot stop. We must keep this tone, annex Parthia, capture Rome, and sweep across the American Federation. Only by capturing these places can the war end."
“How can we withdraw our troops without attacking Roman Constantinople?”
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright and he said: "So no matter what, we must kill him."
Cao Cao said: "I will follow you to the death."
He also has ambitions in his heart.
Go to Rome.
The overall strength of the Parthian Kingdom and the Roman Empire is still a little bit behind. After taking Ctesiphon, the next step is to go to Constantinople, the imperial capital of Rome, and capture Rome. This life will be worth it.
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier entered, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, a letter from General Manager Xun has been sent."
"Send it up."
Lu Xuan ordered.
He took the letter presented by the soldier and browsed it quickly. The expression on Lu Xuan's face became more and more serious, and his eyes were extremely solemn.
Cao Cao asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Lu Xuan handed the letter over and said: "The letter sent back by Xun Yu said that Feng Xiao and Zhang Liao failed to take Valens to Rome. The reason for the failure was that Valens was discovered by the Holy See in Rome and was Immediately execute him.”
"Feng Xiao and Zhang Liao reacted quickly and fortunately escaped. Currently, there is no news about them. Maybe they hid their whereabouts."
"I only know that the two of them are still in the Roman Empire."
"Businessmen stationed in Rome said that the Roman Christian pope was very angry and had appointed a new emperor to succeed him, named Caracalla. It's just that this emperor is very weak and is a puppet of the pope."
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Originally, Christianity did not have any rights. Because of Victoria's previous operations, the church had more rights. This time, Victoria became a prisoner. After Valens returned, and because the news was sent back in advance, the church's The Pope has the power."
Cao Cao read the letter and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Roman Pope Sepuus is the coronator of Victoria. Sepuus mobilized Roman believers extensively and even united with the power of the American Federation to come over."
"It's equal to all the power coming against us."
"Their target is domestic."
"Based on the current situation, there will definitely be another war in the country."
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Should we adjust our troops and return to the country? Although there are many troops stationed in the country, it will be very disadvantageous for us if we are attacked on a large scale."
Lu Xuan was thinking in his heart.
According to the information Xun Yu learned, after Victoria was captured alive this time, and Valens returned to plot and failed, Pope Sepuus in Rome took the opportunity to take power and start an unprecedented war with Lu Xuan.
It's just that Sepuus has united with the American Federation on the east side of the ocean to attack with Washington.
A cold light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.
The enemy is coming, there is nothing to be afraid of, just take this opportunity to catch them all.
After the war with Victoria and the war with Vologasis V of Parthia, Lu Xuan understood that the general environment of the world structure had changed. Due to technological reasons, at least there are no hot weapons, and cold weapons are still the mainstay.
Under this premise, there is nothing to worry about even if the US federal government comes to Washington.
It's best to come together.
Solve them together.
Lu Xuan said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, we are still going to Ctesiphon. First we will capture Ctesiphon, the imperial capital of Parthia. After taking Ctesiphon, we will completely destroy Parthia, and then we will deal with the offensives of Rome and the American Federation. I am not worried about the domestic war. , with Zhang Zhao sitting in charge and Zhou Yu commanding, they are enough to deal with any chaos. However, I arranged for someone to send a message back quickly to inform Zhang Zhao of the arrangements and be prepared."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Under the current situation, the country needs to prepare.
If you are not prepared and are suddenly attacked, you may be caught off guard.
Lu Xuan wrote the letter and had it sent back quickly. After the letter was sent back, Lu Xuan quickly asked Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and others to reorganize the army. The army must complete the reorganization in the shortest possible time, deal with the captured Anxi prisoners, and send all the prisoners back to the rear.
After Lu Xuan made all arrangements, he took his people and set off along Ma Chao's road to Ctesiphon, aiming to capture Ctesiphon, the imperial capital of Parthia.
