Chapter 6772: : Roman Emperor

Being able to meet Sima Yi at such a moment, one can imagine what kind of weight the Jin State held in the heart of the Roman Emperor at this time. If the alliance with the Jin State was successful, it would give this war a more important meaning.

Over the years, the Roman Empire has attacked Parthia many times, and the benefits gained cannot make up for the consumption of the war. This is sad for the empire, and if such wars continue for a long time, I am afraid that Parthia will not be conquered. On the contrary, the strength of the Roman Empire would be sharply reduced after the war.

The Roman Emperor had a clear understanding of this. The current strength of the Roman Empire was good, but no one was sure what the situation would be like on the battlefield. To get enough benefits, a powerful Allies are important.

For example, when the Jin State attacked Kushan, the alliance with Parthia was a good example. With the Parthian army to contain it, the Jin army could reduce a lot of pressure when it attacked Kushan.

The Jin State can do this, and Rome can do the same, but the people of the Jin State will definitely have concerns about such an alliance. After all, on the Kushan battlefield, the Jin army has a precedent of attacking allies to seize the Kushan victory. If in Anxi If such a situation occurs on the battlefield, it will be very unfriendly to the Jin army.

"Meet the Roman Emperor." Sima Yi cupped his hands and said.

Severus nodded, "With no courtesy to the envoy, please sit down."

Sima Yi thanked him and sat down, looking around.

The people gathered in the palace at this time were important figures in Rome. Severus knew our identities very well. When he went to Rome as an envoy later, Severus did not have an in-depth understanding of the Roman Empire.

Young Master Tula said: "The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin knows what he said yesterday and has he thought about it?" Seeing that everyone was talking, Young Master Tula could only take the lead in breaking the silence.

"If the Jin State sends troops to attack Tang Huan, the Jin State will suffer no harm."

Any general who has experienced war has a vague understanding of this.

"However, artillery weighs several thousand kilograms and is extremely easy to transport. It is even less useful for guarding checkpoints. Although artillery is incredibly powerful, the damage it can actually cause is very small, and it needs to cool down for a period of time before being released a few times. At that time, it could be used again. Although Tang Huan did not have ten artillery pieces at that time, only half of them remained in the capital. Ahamoda only had seven artillery pieces, and given the terrain of Ahmoda, seven artillery pieces were not available. There is a way for artillery to operate simultaneously."

The Jin army must have equipped a small amount of combat weapons. What kind of losses will the Roman army suffer when they retreat? The Jin army may not care much, but the Romans can do it.

War relies on the swords and guns in the hands of soldiers, but it is that kind of deal.

It was the lower level of Doroma who nodded and agreed with this. It takes less time to dispatch a small army and transport food, grass and baggage. Even if the Jin State has a weak army and a strong horse, it hastily mobilized soldiers and horses. Going to the battlefield still takes a short time.

Although Severus' explanation reassured us, our minds were obviously more active. The Jin army was able to obtain artillery through trading. Later, the Roman envoys also traded artillery from Jin. They must be able to transport the artillery to If the words of the Roman Empire were copied with the ability of the craftsmen of the Roman Empire, if the words were true, the military power of the Roman Empire would have been significantly improved by then, which would not mean anything to the Roman Empire. Very important.

The Jin State can get disadvantages by sending troops, but the disadvantages depend on the time and quantity of the Jin State sending troops. Two cities and one pass, as long as Tang Huan is defeated and the Jin State completes those requirements, it will belong to the Jin State. , and as for the Jin Congress to achieve smaller defeats on the battlefield and seize fewer cities belonging to Jin soldiers, this is Xi'an's ability.

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions. Many of us had a nonchalant attitude toward Anxi without extremely powerful combat weapons. After all, if such combat weapons appeared on the battlefield, the war would be degenerated. Although there is no small impact, if it can occupy a smaller advantage under the long-range retreat method, it will be of great help to an army to achieve defeat more quickly.

The Romans may have heard about Jin's trains, but in our opinion, even without a means of transportation like trains, it is possible for Jin to transport a small number of troops to the battlefield in a short period of time. .

"Yes, it is the Jin State." Severus corrected: "It will not harm the Jin State to unite with a weak empire like Rome. Why should the Jin State take the lead?"

Sima Yi's words did not represent the thoughts of many Roman nobles. So what if the Jin State's national power declined? Could it be said that the Roman Empire would decline because of the Jin State's strength, so it should give the Jin State military power in the battle to retreat from the Jin Army. Less bad as a result?

Severus said: "The Tang Huan Artillery has a range of up to 700 steps."

"What's more, it took a long time for the Jin State to capture the Guishan Land. Now, there is not much turmoil in the Guishan Land. Jin State has taken a very small risk by sending troops rashly. If you think that the Jin State has gained It's a small bargain, I have something to say."

It must be true that as what was said in the letter of the Roman messenger, the Roman Empire needed no less measure in that war.

Severus was vague, that was the two cities and one level that Master Tula mentioned yesterday.

Today's Jin State's actions on the battlefield can bring less constraints to the Jin Army. At this point, it is trustworthy.

Severus said: "Rome and Jin are united, but they are far apart. Whether it is with the cooperation of war or the will of military force, there is no way to achieve a tacit understanding, and the small Roman army is about to be dispatched. However, Jin's troops and horses have not been mobilized, and Chang'an is far away from the Jin army, so the mobilization of troops and horses cannot be completed in a short time."

Everyone was silent. As Severus said, once the war with the Jin army is over, Jin and Rome cannot be said to be in a state of isolation, let alone transporting a small amount of supplies. Even if Jin merchants later come to Rome , also had to be rejected by Jin soldiers.

The Roman official's face turned red, and he obviously realized his inconvenience. The Jin State and the Jin Army had no contact with each other, and the transactions between the two were numerous. In an easy situation, the Jin Army wanted to With no fewer transactions with the Jin State, it is unusual to want the Jin Army's national strength to be slightly improved and then successfully block the Romans' retreat.

The little Roman Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Eight-Eyed Cannon's retreat was really like this, then the Roman Legion would still be able to have a huge advantage on the battlefield. "How powerful is the Tang Huan Artillery?"

That kind of alliance cannot be said to be relatively rapid. It was also caused by the relaxed situation at that time. For the Jin State, even if the war was delayed for a month or two, the impact on the Jin State would be very small. After all, the Jin State The country's troops and horses have not been mobilized, and the transportation of grain, grass and baggage has not yet been completed.

Looking at An An's achievements, we can actually see what kind of shock An An's appearance on the battlefield will bring to the enemy, and what kind of experience it will give the enemy in such a war.

"I heard that the Jin Kingdom traded a batch of supplies with the Jin Army." The Roman official said with satisfaction.

"I have heard that Anxi has many weapons of war. None of them are called eight-eyed guns. They have a range of more than a hundred steps and are astonishingly powerful. Do you know if it is true?" The little Roman emperor turned his attention to Severus.

Odoya said: "If the Emperor of Jin has no intention, if Rome and Jin unite and defeat the Jin army, such a small territory of the Jin army will be lost to both sides. Does the envoy know what he thinks?"

Not to mention the Roman Empire, the war was the same in the Jin Kingdom. After all, if the situation on the battlefield was simpler, if you wanted to change the shape on the battlefield less, you would need to pay a huge price for the military officers. If you can do that badly, it will inevitably make the situation even more cruel.

After all, the Jin Empire was also strong, and Jin soldiers often showed extremely tough performance on the battlefield.

Only by not failing in the war between the young masters and not letting one's own methods be used in a worse way can the previous situation be changed for the worse.

Tang Huanjie cupped her hands and said: "Little Emperor, Your Majesty is deeply sorry for the attack on the Roman envoy. Your Majesty has not yet issued an order, and will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly."

The capture of Anxi was something that the Jin Kingdom had never achieved.

Severus said: "This matter will be reported to His Majesty and His Majesty will make a decision."

Odoya coughed heavily and said, "In that case, the envoy also prefers to unite with Rome?"

Seeing the expression of the Roman who had shown pride after that, Severus felt unexplainably uncomfortable in his heart.

Sima Yi said: "Businessmen who later went to the Jin army to do business can just withdraw. Since you want to get disadvantages, you have to pay. On the battlefield of the Jin army, everyone depends on their ability. It is half a month longer than the time of the Jin army to send troops. Are there tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Guishan? Xiaoke is approaching Tang Huan to contain the Jin army."

The Romans must have known that if the range mentioned by Severus was only the highest range, they would know what it would be like to miss it.

Many people secretly took a breath of cold air. The retreat distance of 700 steps is really not too scary. It should be noted that there are no long-range retreat methods in the Roman army that can reach that level. .

"The relationship between Rome and the Jin State is bad, so we know whether the Jin State can sell a batch of artillery and eight-eyed blunderbuss to Rome." asked Tula Shao.

Having a way to deal with simple situations more effectively will definitely make the previous situation easier, and it will also make one's own series of actions less constrained.

There were no Roman officials asking about the train, and Severus was able to prevaricate the matter with a few words. This made the Romans pay less attention to the Jin State, so that the Jin State could get less harm from it. Then the outside world would be blocked. Viru understands.

The conversation between the two parties has reached that point, and it is excessive to make such demands. After all, they are allies. If the Romans retreat and attack the Jin army, they will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army more slowly, and there will be no small harm to the Jin army's dispatch. .

"I can agree with your Majesty's words." Severu said calmly, I have no fear at all when it comes to Ao Shaoyan. "The Jin State and the Jin Army have a close relationship. I am sure that the Jin State will send troops to retreat." As for the Jin army, what was broken was the alliance between the two parties, and the interests of Jin merchants will suffer a small amount of losses. In that case, who will compensate for Jin's losses?"

The Romans will definitely be less alert, and we will have less worries when retreating from the Jin army. After all, a small-scale war consumes a huge amount of materials and the loss of troops. , is also big. When such a war reaches a critical moment, the lives of soldiers are simply valuable.

Facing everyone's gaze, Tang Huanjie said: "Selling to Rome is not a bad idea, but when the war starts, will the Jin soldiers just sit back and watch those things being transported from our territory to Rome?"

"Could it be said that because this envoy came to Rome, all contacts between the Jin State and the Jin Army must be completely cut off?"

Tang Huanjie said with a smile: "The envoy didn't know about this. But since the Jin State had not reached an alliance with Rome to retreat from the Jin Army, why could the Jin State have no contact with the Jin Army? After all, the two sides had close contacts after that. Yes, there is no war in the territory of the Jin Army, and a small number of Jin merchants are in the Jin Army's territory."

Anxi's weak strength has been recognized on the battlefield, and when Jin is less active on the battlefield, it will bring very little pressure to the opponent. Now the Roman Empire has not felt it from Jin. If there is huge pressure, it will not have a certain impact on the previous actions of the Roman Empire, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com But that is something that can be avoided.

"Tang Huan is indeed not equipped with the eight-eyed gun that the little emperor mentioned."

Sima Yi was the head of the Senate and had a very low status in the empire. Especially, even the little emperor of Rome showed little respect to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi, who had been silent all the time, snorted: "Everything has caused the Jin State the least harm, but what about the sacrifices of the Romans on the battlefield?"

It was a mistake for the Jin State to have bad relations with Rome, but it had been in contact with the Jin Army for much longer.

"Little Roman Emperor, naturally everyone relies on their own abilities on the battlefield. If the Roman legion can defeat the Tang Huan people first and seize fewer cities, the Jin Kingdom will seize the victory that belongs to the Romans, and Anxi will rest on the battlefield. Even if there is no gain, the little emperor of Rome will be asked to hinder it." Severus said anxiously: "It is the interest of passing through the two cities of Jin State, which can be violated, and that is the bottom line."

I see that some issues have been discussed less, but the division of interests needs to be more clear.

"It exceeds the range of the Eight-Eyed Gun, and many cannot reach a hundred steps. The Eight-Eyed Gun has no big restrictions on the battlefield." Severus said: "The Eight-Eyed Gun was made by the Jin State Craftsman's Workshop. Tang Huan is also less equipped with sharp weapons, which are more convenient to make than bows and arrows, but on the battlefield, before releasing them eight times in a row, the ammunition needs to be reloaded, and the reloading time is short."

With the defeat in the war driving the development of the situation, the Jin State did not take many actions, but it was a complicated matter to achieve smaller results. It only required a weak national power and the ability to deal with the war. At that time, he defeated the opponent with overwhelming force.
