Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 710 You should have had an idea at the beginning
The strait resists the Chinese people, and everyone attaches great importance to this strategy, but in the end it needs Severus to make a decision.

Severus asked, "Is there any news about the envoy sent by the empire to Qin Zijin?"

"No news yet." Caesar replied hastily.

Severus frowned, and tapped his fingers on the table, "calculating the time, the imperial envoy should have arrived at Qin Feng's place long ago, and there should have been news back. If there is no news, it is very likely that Qin Zijin killed him."

"Why did the commander-in-chief say that?" Pompey asked puzzled.

Severus glanced at the bloodlines of Glory. In his opinion, these descendants of Glory have military capabilities, but their political quality is too poor, and there is still a big gap compared with their ancestors.

"This is because Qin Zijin knew the threat of their Majesty in our hands. He simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, and ignored their Majesty. It was just fighting. He wanted to force us to release their Majesty back by fighting. .”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Severus naturally knew that guarding the strait was the easiest, but he had other ideas. He said: "If we retreat to the strait, all of Asia will fall to the Chinese. If we lose our outpost, the situation will be extremely passive. Huaxia Although people can’t get in, it’s also hard for us to get out.”

Octavian and the others finally understood what Severus was thinking. It turned out that Severus didn't even think about how to defend at this moment. He was still thinking about defeating the Chinese.However, inexplicably, Octavian and the others cheered up.

Severus immediately made a decision, "Take defense as offense, and crucify him at Ephesus. After all, the strength of the Chinese people is limited. As long as we are here, Qin Feng will not dare to step into the core circle of Europe."

"Old man, how do we deal with the supplies?" Tiberius asked.

"This requires the help of the Imperial Navy." Severus motioned to Catullus, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, and said: "The enemy has no navy, and our warships will continuously send supplies."

Catullus beat his chest and saluted, "Please rest assured, Elder Severus."

Therefore, Severus formulated a strategy of replacing offense with defense, and began to use the "Kiste River" injected into the Aegean Sea to build the "Ephesus Defense Line".The Imperial Navy continuously sent supplies to escort the Imperial Army.

late June.

Qin Feng, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei joined forces in the city of 'Izmir' in the south of 'Ephesus'.

The Huaxia army is 25, and the foreign legion composed of 35 liberated slaves has a total strength of [-].

'Izmir' was later the third largest city in Turkey. It is located on the Aegean Sea at the western end of the Anatolian Plateau. It is one of the important industrial, commercial, foreign trade and shipping centers. military fortress.The city has been the center of the agricultural area along the Aegean Sea since ancient times.

Qin Feng chose to join forces here, one is to look down on 'Ephesus' from the north to the south, and the other is that this is an agricultural area where more supplies can be obtained.The third is to block the route of Severus to reach the Black Sea Strait through land, and make a good first-hand layout in order to wipe out the Severus Army on land.

The city of Izmir is already under the control of the alliance of princes. In the Roman Empire, the number of slaves is several times that of the Romans.Qin Feng freed the slaves. With these slaves, there is no need to worry about the resistance of the Romans in the controlled area.

Now in the Roman area controlled by Qin Feng and the others, the situation has completely reversed. The slaves are the masters of the house, but all the Romans have become slaves.

It should be said that the quality of Roman slaves was extremely high, and they continuously produced various material and military necessities for the alliance of princes.Of course, the overseers of the former slaves were also indispensable.

In the Council Hall of Izmir City, Qin Feng held the biggest banquet after the expedition. On the one hand, he celebrated the capture of Asia Minor, and on the other hand, he welcomed Cao Cao's return.

Cao Cao's achievements in Europe are indelible and should be great achievements.He led all walks of life in Europe and completed the most successful uprising against Rome in 200 years.People of all nationalities in Europe gathered under the banner of Cao Cao, and drove the Romans to the south bank of the Rhine in one go.

"Everyone, let's respect General Cao, the President of the European Union." Qin Feng laughed.He felt very strange that the European Union came out, and Cao Cao became the speaker.He then said: "The Europeans want to build a country for Meng De. Meng De is worthy of being my good boy in China. He came back even though he didn't agree to such conditions."

Speaking of it, whether it is Qin Feng or other princes, they sincerely admire Cao Cao.

Everyone drank it down, Cao Cao's dark face was rarely flushed, and he said, "It's all thanks to Zijin's strategy of launching a 'slave war'." Human hatred. Although these slaves lacked training, their fighting spirit made the Romans no match at all.”

In fact, Cao Cao did not fight any tough battles in Europe.This is due to his sudden appearance, and the combat power obtained after liberating the slaves and gathering fighters from all ethnic groups. In addition, Qin Feng also restrained the absolute main force of the Roman Empire in the east.

However, Cao Cao's achievements in Europe are great.At this moment, all ethnic groups in central and northern Europe united to fight the Romans, but instead restrained too many armed forces in Rome.

Now, Qin Feng's European strategy and African strategy have begun to play a follow-up effect, which makes Qin Feng's alliance army only need to face one-third of the Roman army.The rest of the Roman army had to go to north-central Europe and Africa to suppress the rebellion.

"When we successfully annihilate Severus' army, Rome will definitely be under pressure to release our emperor, and we can return home triumphantly." Qin Feng said with a toast.

Afterwards, the princes celebrated enthusiastically, and it was rare to relax without mentioning the war.

However, Yuan Shao was unhappy.He has always been the center of Yuan Shao's family background and power, no matter where it is.But now, Qin Feng, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei all have meritorious deeds and are admired by others, while Yuan Shao is instead forgotten in a corner.

Yuan Shao hated Qin Feng, and he felt that Qin Feng was targeting him, "I am no worse than Cao Mengde in the thesis, and I am no worse than Cao Mengde. As for the rheumatism, I can win if I get lost. I can do what they can do. Why don't you let me go?"

Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction in his eyes, slapped his big ears, and an idea sprouted in his heart.

In the middle of the night, the banquet dispersed.

Liu Bei arrived at Yuan Shao's residence.

"There are many ringworms, what's the matter with you?" Yuan Shao stared at Liu Bei with scarlet drunken eyes, not hiding his malice.

Liu Bei fanned his ears and said, "Brother Benchu, the Romans are no match for us at all. It seems that Qin Zijin's fighting power against Rome was exaggerated. This time, the final victory is coming. Don’t you have any ideas, first brother?”

"Thoughts? What ideas can I have?" Yuan Shao said with an aggrieved and helpless look, breathing out alcohol.

Liu Bei immediately showed that you should have an idea.
