Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 288 The Legend of the East

The city of Rome, the Senate, and the Congress are being held intensely.

The ring-shaped stepped meeting room was full of embarrassing-looking elders.And at the bottom center, Pompey is kneeling.

On the highest point in the south, Emperor Lucius Aurelius Commodus Antoninus rose.

This man also has the Chinese name Kang Maode. He inherited the most prosperous period of the Roman Empire during the period of the Five Sage Emperors, but he was very tired of the emperor's ruling work, indulged in hunting and recreation, and was quite enthusiastic about gladiatorial activities.

He declared that he was the son of Hercules, the son of Hercules, and often went down to the arena himself to fight gladiators or wild beasts.

The gazes of the elders focused on their emperor, His Majesty.

Commodus carried a crown made of a lion's head. This huge lion king was one of his trophies.Why doesn't he wear a real crown, but a lion's head?That's because he is the son of God Hercules.

Hercules, or translated as Hercules, Hercules, is the greatest hero in Greek mythology, that is, Hercules in Roman mythology.This god is the son of Zeus. There are twelve heroic feats in the mortal period, one of the greatest feats is the invulnerable Nemean lion.

Because of his twelve great achievements, he was recognized by Zeus and returned to Mount Olympus.

Hercules wears a lion's head hat without a jaw.The lower jaw was torn off by his hand, so there is nothing left.

And Commodus is his son, so he also wears a lion head hat.

Commodus firmly believed that he was the son of God, and the elders, as well as the people of the empire, also believed deeply.

Commodus stood up, pointed to the mountainous voices outside the conference hall, and said: "Listen, the people of Rome are already angry. Pompey has shamed the empire. He is unforgivable."

Pompey was frightened and bald at the time. He crawled and hugged the Roman veteran Severus who was sitting on the seat.

Severus, as the elder of the real power faction of the Senate, and as the triumphant emperor of later generations, has huge ambitions.If he sat and watched Pompey be executed, who would lead the army and work for him in the future?

So Severus stood up and said to Commodus and all the elders: "Pompey's starting point is good. He wants to bring huge wealth back to Rome and give it to His Majesty and the Senate. If he is executed, The soldiers will definitely be chilled. Who will fight for Rome in the future? Will they fight for the interests of Rome?"

When the elders heard the words, they felt that what Severus said made sense.

Pompey ended up like this because he wanted to grab the treasure for Rome.In other words, Pompey ended up like this for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor to grab wealth.But now, Commodus is going to execute him.Whether it is human relations or other aspects, it is indeed unreasonable.

Commodus looked distressed, and he reminded: "Senior Severus, how to calm the anger of the people of the empire?"

Severus kicked Pompey, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "At that time, was it really God's punishment?"

Pompey hastened to explain everything, and once again described the process of God's punishment in detail. Of course, in order to reduce crimes, he also instinctively simplified some things that happened before God's punishment.

Although this is the second time for the elders to hear about it, they still look shocked and terrified.

"The doomsday reappearance of Pompeii?"

"This is real?"

"It's better to believe what is there than to believe what is not...."

Severus said at this time: "All the soldiers who came back said the same thing, they must be real."

Commodus firmly believed that he was the son of God Hercules, and he also firmly believed in this matter.

Since Pompey was Severus's general, Severus knew every detail of the whole process very well. His eyes were erratic and evil flashed, and he said to Pompey: "It's the priest who accompanied the army. He questioned Qin Feng, an oriental man. The miracle of the clearing of the well water was shown, so the god was questioned. The priest questioned the god, so the god of thunder was furious and sent down the punishment, didn't he?"

Pompey rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, that's it, that's it..."

The elders looked inquiringly, and the Roman Emperor Commodus asked, "Senior Severus, what is going on?"

Severus bowed and said reverently, "This must be the king of the gods who chose an oriental to show his miracle. The king of gods chose an oriental, and he is also telling the world that he not only rules the west, but also Rule the East."

When Severus said this, his pious expression towards God disappeared, and he became angry, "However, the priest accompanying the army was stupid. He questioned the possibility of the Eastern people showing miracles, and he thought it was his prayer that made the well water clear. He therefore questioned his allies, questioned the God-King, and at the same time questioned the rule of the God-King over the East."

"How could the God King not be angry? When Thunder God got angry, he burned the city with fire. This was not Pompey's sin, but the stupidity of the priests accompanying the army. And this ally in the east did not do anything to the empire. Everything was because of God. The king punished the foolish priests, and Pompey and the others were affected."

Severus said to himself: "Your Majesty, elders, we have made this clear to the people, and I think the people will understand."

If the allies do not act, then the war will have no object.

Suddenly, Elder Crassus Hini said: "Old Severus, how do you explain to the high priests?"

Severus sneered and said: "Even on Mount Olympus, there are gods who are stupid and punished by the king of gods. It is not surprising that there is a stupid person among the priests."

"That makes sense." The elders nodded one after another.

Another respected veteran Marcy Antonik said at this time: "In the eastern country, someone was chosen by Thor and was called Thor's Hammer. But we can't contact him and his country. If the people ask, Unable to explain."

The elders felt that Antonick was careful, and this was indeed a "loophole".

At this time, Emperor Commodus said, "The country in the east has risen and has Thor's Hammer. I plan to send envoys to establish diplomatic relations." He said passionately: "Since Thor's Hammer appeared in the East, It is the kingdom ruled by the gods. We join hands with the East and the West to destroy the kingdom of pagans occupying the center."

The elders generally felt that His Majesty the Emperor had a strategy. They were all descendants of the Roman gods, and they couldn't reconcile any true god with the people of the Buddha.

Outside, the angry voices of the mountain-like people demanded that His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate send heavy troops to destroy the Eastern Han Dynasty and maintain the glory of Rome.Such an expedition would go through the Anxi Empire and the Guishuang Empire. This is really an extremely nonsense expedition plan.

So, the elders nodded for a while, and they all agreed with the proposals of Commodus and Severus.

Commodus said at this time: "Pompey is also at fault, and he must be punished."

Pompey was so frightened that he instinctively hugged Severus' thick legs.

After Severus kicked him away, he said: "Going to the east to establish diplomatic relations is a long journey and full of hardships. Pompey can lead the team to the east to complete the mission, so as to atone for his sins. At the same time, he has dealt with the east , can be regarded as familiar."

The elders nodded one after another, and they couldn't help but feel that Severus was indeed a capable and wise elder with an overall view, and he was someone the empire could rely on.

But when the elders thought about it again, after traveling thousands of miles, they had to go through Anxi and Guishuang, two hostile countries full of pagans, and they felt numb all over.No one is willing to send anyone who wants to go, so why not just let Pompey go?

Ever since, the elders agreed for a while.

After Connard nodded, the matter was settled, and he said again: "Senior Severus, then, you will come forward to appease the people of the empire."

To appease the people of the empire, Severus couldn't wish for it, and he agreed at that time.

Pompey breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt that the Severus he followed was the wisest and wisest among the elders, and his future was boundless.

Before Severus went out to appease the people, he said to Pompey: "Go and prepare immediately, and leave for the East immediately. This time, there must be no more mistakes."

Pompeo burst into tears of gratitude.

Soon, God's will calmed down the anger of the Roman people.

Only then did the Romans know that the imperial army did not fail, but was affected by God's punishment.The Roman people cursed the priests for their depravity for a while, and they couldn't even see miracles.The priests took the blame, and the high priests were very angry, but they had no witnesses or physical evidence to refute, so they could only eat Coptis chinensis dumb.

At the same time, on the land of 600 million square kilometers in Rome, with a population of 5000 million, a new legend of heroic feats began to spread.

Western bards, ordinary people, and nobles passed on this legend in opera houses, taverns, and streets and alleys.

The protagonist of this legend is an oriental man with black hair and yellow skin.Legend has it that he has the ability to communicate with the king of the gods, that is, Thor. He is the messenger chosen by Thor to walk in the mortal world. He has an epic title "Thor's Hammer".

"Thor's Hammer", he represents the god of thunder and the gods, using his sledgehammer to rain down thunder and fire to punish disobedience in the world.Zhizhi City, which was burned by thunder and fire, is the iron proof of his existence.

……

On the other hand, the Romans were buzzing about passing on the legend.

In the third year of Zhongping, in November 186 AD, Qin Feng returned to the Xiongnu prairie in the north of Bingzhou. He and his army once again entered the base camp at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain.

Qin Feng won!

Thousands of miles of pursuit, brilliant victory!
Qiang Qu granted the headship, while Qin Feng pardoned the other Huns and brought them back to their ancestral lands who were far away from their homes.

After the news spread in the grassland, the tribes were shocked.The prairie people's worship of Qin Feng has reached a new height.Waves of tribal leaders came to pay homage to Qin Feng, swear allegiance to him, to the Han Dynasty, and never return from generation to generation.

And Qin Feng enthusiastically received the people who came to swear allegiance.His benevolence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Huns.But in private, the Huns only talk about and recognize Qin Feng, and don't mention the Han Dynasty.

This day, the third day of November.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the new King of the Huns, Saisang, Qin Feng's old father-in-law, said: "Son-in-law, the king has prepared the dowry. When do you think the ceremony will be held? Is it in the king's court, or in the king's court?" where?"

Qin Feng can't wait to have every one of his wives in his mouth and hold them in his hands.He said with a smile: "My father-in-law, the imperial court has the will to confine Langjuxu. I plan to hold a wedding ceremony at the same time that Langjuxu is sealed up, on Mount Langjuxu. What do you think?"

"My daughter got married at the time of Fengtian!" Saisang immediately felt a sense of pride, "Son-in-law, what can I say to this king, what a good son-in-law... This is the glory of the family." He immediately patted He said excitedly, "Good son-in-law, you are the son-in-law of our Xiongnu. From now on, wherever we can use our family, it doesn't matter. As long as I, Saisang, is here, the Xiongnu will be my son-in-law's firm backing."

Qin Feng was also very happy, and felt that it was the right thing to support Saisang as the king of the Huns.

At this time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei happily entered the account.

"Zijin, the court's envoy is here!" Cao Cao's black face glowed with joy.

Yuan Shao laughed happily, "We've waited until this day, and I don't know if the reward is the same as what we said before the expedition!"

Liu Bei's big ears trembled with excitement. Although Qin Feng never took him to "play" at critical times, he still felt that following Qin Feng's footsteps closely was the only way to get promoted.He also felt that whenever he had the opportunity in the future, he would follow Qin Feng, "Whenever there is something in the court, where Qin Feng goes, he won't take me, so I will go to His Majesty to recommend myself and follow."

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also had similar thoughts. They had more brotherhood and friendship in battle. They were very grateful to Qin Feng for taking care of them at critical moments.

The three young masters in the capital are really united in spirit, advancing together and retreating together.
