Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 695 Cao Cao is in Europe

When Liu Bei was captured by three local natives in Africa, Cao Cao led his European front army to approach the Thrace area controlled by the Romans, which is the territory of the later Ukraine.

From Qin Feng, Cao Cao learned.There are three major ethnic groups in Europe that resisted Rome most fiercely, Gauls, Germans, and Thracians.

The Thracians fought valiantly, making them very popular mercenaries.Their hymn to war is especially impressive, which the Greeks likened to the roar of a titan.

The Thracians had a hero, Spartacus.When Rome invaded, he was captured and became a slave.Later, Spartacus launched a riot in the gladiator school and fled to Mount Vesuvius to launch an uprising.

The revolutionary teacher Marx called Spartacus "the great commander, the true representative of the ancient proletariat", and Lenin also praised him as "the most outstanding hero in the largest slave uprising".

The Gauls never gave up resistance.

Later French territory is composed of the Gauls.From the 1st century BC to the 5th century BC, Rome ruled almost the entire Gaul region.

The external rule of the Romans was the rule of slavery and colonial rule, which made the Gauls constantly resist.

For the rule of Rome, the head of the Gaul tribe at this time 'Wesengatorix' led the Gaul uprising.

In the age of Caesar, the Germanic people had settled west of the Rhine, and had reached the area of ​​the Danube in the south.The first major battle between them and the Romans took place at the end of the 2nd century BC.

In the end, the Roman Empire occupied the vast inhabited area of ​​Germanic tribes up to the Elbe River, and included it in the territory of the empire, forming the Roman province - Germania Greater.

In the following decades, the Roman Empire and the Germans continued to fight. In the 1st century AD, the Roman Empire gradually pushed the border to the east bank of the Rhine, thus strengthening the Roman Rhine-Danube border system.

After the second half of the 1st century AD, the Romans began to build a boundary wall on the east bank of the Rhine.This means that the Roman Empire finally ended its wars of conquest.The Roman Empire officially included the upper reaches of the Rhine and the Danube into the territory of the empire, and established two provinces: Upper Germanic Province and Lower Germanic Province.The capital of the former is Mainz and the latter is Cologne.

But the Roman Empire failed to conquer the entire Germanic region.

Among the Germanic peoples there was no trace of patriotic rule.The leaders of each clan group are only responsible for mediating disputes between clansmen, and this function of resolving disputes is limited to the exercise within the same clan and cannot go beyond the scope.

There does not appear to be any such organization as an arbitral society at the time.In fact, in peacetime, they do not have a centralized authority that can issue orders and exercise authority to manage the affairs of all clans.During the war, according to the records in Caesar's writings, the Germanic nations had to elect a number of joint commanders, who were collective leaders, and their power was limited to wartime.

This made it impossible for the Germanic people to use their entire national strength to fight against Rome.

As Cao Cao's European army marched all the way along the northern coast of the Black Sea, the news that the mysterious Eastern Chinese Empire and the descendants of the dragon were attacking the Roman Empire spread in Europe like wind.

In order to allow Boss Cao to work smoothly in Europe, Mr. Qin specially gave Boss Cao a book "Roman Language", which was actually written by Qin Feng.The book is a comparison table between Chinese and Roman.The words may not be complete, but the daily vocabulary is enough.It is obviously not enough to have books, but fortunately there are translations from Anxi, Guishuang and Western Regions.

Several languages ​​can learn from each other by converting each other. This is also the only way to learn a foreign language in the early stage.

Boss Cao was a master of learning, and he couldn't learn it for a while, but time waited for no one, so he handed over the books to Guo Jia.An ordinary person would not be able to learn Roman in a short period of time, but Guo Jia is not an ordinary person. With the wisdom of a ghost, he has mastered a large amount of Roman vocabulary within a month.Although he may not be able to say a complete sentence, but a few simple words can definitely be connected in series.

For Cao Cao, this is enough communication.

Outside the Thrace region, in central Ukraine, before a huge city ruin, Cao Cao saw tens of thousands of Thracians wearing animal skins with hostile eyes.I met the leader of the Thracians who was committed to regaining his homeland, a powerful middle-aged man.

With Guo Jia as an interpreter, the two parties were able to communicate.

"Spartacus? Isn't he already dead?" This was the first time an Easterner came into contact with a Thracian, and Cao Cao was full of doubts.

"I inherited the will of my ancestors and led my people to fight against the Romans forever." Spartacus said.

Cao Cao also understood that this was in the endless struggle, in order to find hope, he changed his name.

"Are you descendants of the dragon who came from the east and attacked Rome?" Spartacus asked.

"Yes, come with us. We have common enemies, common goals, and we are friends." Cao Cao said.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of Eastern troops behind Cao Cao, Spartacus said, "Although you have a mighty army, the Romans are as powerful as you can imagine. Once upon a time, we also had such an army..."

Cao Cao didn't care about Spartacus' doubts. Instead, he said more firmly: "Friends, as long as we are united, we will be able to defeat the Romans. Unite all forces that can be united. Europe is the people of all ethnic groups in Europe." Europe. As long as the Thracians are willing to become friends in the East, tomorrow, our coalition forces will enter your hometown. The flag of Thrace will once again fly in your hometown.”

Spartacus was quite moved, and his people talked a lot.

A leader of the Thracian tribe came out and said loudly: "Oriental people, please forgive me for telling the truth. You will not be the opponents of the Romans. We cannot bet on the lives of the last tribe."

"I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks this way? Every nation has invincible power." Cao Cao said coldly.

"You can't get approval if you just talk about it." The leader looked at the army behind Cao Cao and said tit for tat: "The best sword needs to be tempered a lot before it can be sharp."

Cao Cao said indifferently: "However, no matter how tender the thorns are, they can hurt people, how can this be explained?"

"This..." The leader was at a loss before Cao Cao's words full of meaning, but the Thracian was moved.

"Never doubt the wisdom and strength of the Chinese nation, as well as our sharp sword. They can beat you at any time." Cao Cao said proudly.

The Thracian let out an exclamation.

Cao Cao took a step forward, faced all the Thracians, and said loudly and passionately: "I, Cao Cao, the descendant of Huaxia and the descendant of the dragon, will help you and take back your homeland."

Thracians, everyone is moved.

After a while, Spartacus discussed with the respected leaders of the clans.Fifty steps away from Cao Cao, he gathered a pile of soil and stuck a peacock feather on top of the pile. "Please shoot this peacock feather in half with one arrow, and use your weapon to prove your wisdom."

"Let us witness the wisdom and strength of the Eastern people." The leaders of all ethnic groups said in unison.

The Thracians wait and see.

Guo Jia frowned.Xia Houyuan, who was good at shooting beside him, said: "This is not as good as piercing the sun with a hundred steps, it will not trouble the lord."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Look at the stems of the feathers are hard, but compared with wooden arrows, they are in loose soil. An arrow can only knock it down, but it can't break it."

"Huh?" Xia Houyuan realized the extremely high difficulty hidden in it, and said in surprise: "The branches of poplars are easy to break, and this is just a hundred steps through the poplar, but I never thought of this. The Thracian deliberately inserted this feather on the loose mound. , is making things difficult for us!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and when he opened them, he showed determination.He stretched out his hand, and Xia Houyuan hurriedly handed over his Luoyue Bow, and said worriedly: "My lord, the Thracian made things difficult on purpose, why don't you let the subordinates come down."

Cao Cao signaled no need, he took the bow and arrow, and the moment he bent the bow and set the arrow, everyone held their breath.

Phew~, an arrow rushes like a shooting star.

Everyone looked around, and with a pop, the arrow shot out from the mound under the feather, without even touching the feather above it.

The tens of thousands of people watching were in an uproar, and everyone exclaimed with disappointment.
