Chapter 495: The Virgin's Man
Women fight.
In the end, it is up to men to decide who is the winner.
Of course, this man must be as powerful a hero as Li Yuan.
Cleopatra hopes to meet Li Yuan, and then use her charm, her body, and her scheming to win back everything she lost. And Maria, a young Jewish girl, also has her own little thoughts.
Li Yuan listened quietly to the news he got from Cleopatra. His silence made Maria feel uneasy. It was the first time for her to participate in such a complicated situation between countries, and she was confused in her heart.
His body was beating, and he looked at the man in front of him who was as serious as a mountain from time to time.
Without the trip to the East, Li Yuan would have been just like Alexander the Great in Maria's heart, a bloodthirsty king and a great commander. But after arriving in Chang'an, Xingyang, Pengcheng and other places in Guandong,
Maria discovered that her understanding was not sufficient.
At the end of Qin, there was turmoil, the princes attacked Qin, the capital fell, and the country was about to be destroyed.
After this series of drastic changes, Li Yuan suddenly appeared. He was like the brightest star among the Big Dipper, leading thousands of Qin soldiers to rise from the darkness and gradually lighting up the entire night sky. Let Mary
Ya was not only interested in these, Li Yuan's grassroots status made her feel even more sympathetic.
"Would princes, generals, and ministers rather be born?" This is a slogan that Maria heard when she was in the East. It is said that the person who uttered this sentence was a hero named Chen Sheng who led a group of peasants to rise up a few years ago. This man
Although it has been lost in the dust of history, his words are deafening.
Li Yuan started out as a military prince in Yongqiu City, and relied on his own abilities to reach the pinnacle of power step by step. Although there was help from Li Si, the real reason was his outstanding ability.
The Jewish nation has lived in the Dead Sea area on the east coast of the Mediterranean for thousands of years. During these thousands of years, this nation has been accompanied by too much suffering. However, the hero that the Jewish people expected has never appeared.
Although the current Jewish King David has shown a shrewd side in choosing to form an alliance with the Qin State, this king who was a big businessman and a nobleman obviously cannot represent the interests of all Jews. To put it more clearly, David is just a Jew.
The aristocracy suppresses a spokesman for the common people. He will not and cannot bring the Jews out of their misery.
Maria and her partners have been searching hard, and there is no mistake, partners——. More than a hundred years ago, a mysterious organization gradually developed and expanded among the Jewish poor. Its name was Judaism, and in Mary
In Leah's mind, Li Yuan's impression was already the same as that of the Jewish saint Moses.
"Exodus" is a story regarded as sacred by the Jews. The saint Moses was ordered by God Jehovah to lead the enslaved Hebrews to escape from ancient Egypt and go to a rich promised land. After more than 40 years of arduous journey,
He died just before reaching his destination.
Under the guidance of Moses' courageous and sacrificial spirit, the Hebrews got rid of the miserable life of slavery, learned to abide by the Jewish Ten Commandments, and became the first nation in history to worship a single god.
Li Yuan knew a little about the Jewish girl Mary's obsession, but replacing Moses as a Jewish saint. Li Yuan had not considered that a yellow man from the East became a saint from the white race in the West. This was really disappointing.
I feel incredible.
——.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.
Sun Wu, the ancestor of Chinese art of war, described the war in this way in his book. Li Yuan thought hard. The Qin army, which had been going smoothly since the Western Expedition, faced the most powerful opponent.
Bravery also requires a little wisdom.
Qin and Rome.
The two ancient powerful countries of the East and the West, which have always been fancied by future generations as to which one is more powerful, would never have met in the same place. But now, because of Li Yuan's emergence, who is more powerful has become the focus of the competition. In the arena,
Before this unprecedented battle for supremacy in Asia and Europe begins, it is very necessary to sort out each other's trump cards.
Regarding the Qin State.
The advantageous trump card is that through a series of vertical and horizontal alliances, Li Yuan successfully ran a large network around the Apennine Peninsula. At the same time, on the Balkan Peninsula, a hundred thousand Qin troops repelled the Roman Gallic Army.
At sea, the newly established Great Qin Mediterranean Fleet also began to show its prowess.
As for the disadvantages, the Romans fought on the inside, and Scipio could choose a direction to break through at any time after the violent attack. This was incomparable to the Qin State, which had a long territory.
The vast Siberian steppes, the yellow sands of Central Asia, and the large rivers of North Africa. These very different natural scenery attracted the Qin soldiers to go on expeditions again and again. At the same time, they also gradually dispersed the Qin's combat power. Although Li Yuan successively
The number of domestic soldiers recruited was nearly 400,000.
But the number that can really be used on the European battlefield will not exceed the limit of 150,000 people. Of course, allied dependent forces such as Carthage, Thrace, Egypt, Judea, and Gaul will also send troops to participate in this effort.
In this huge battle, it is unrealistic to expect them to exert much strength.
There are only eternal interests between countries. As a commander with a clear mind, Li Yuan has always maintained a high degree of vigilance towards Western nations. Different skin colors determine the different positions of the two sides. This is like the Carthaginians and the Han people.
Nibbal was now forced to choose to unite with Qin because of his downfall, and when he discovered one day that the Romans were no longer the factor hindering Carthage's strength, but Qin was the one, Hannibal might fall out at any time and choose to ally with the West.
Pia cooperates.
Believe in yourself.
You can take advantage of other people, but you can't rely on other people.
Li Yuan's faith has never been so firm. The hard-working, brave and fearless soldiers of the Qin Dynasty gave him the confidence to face the challenge head-on.
——.
The better the situation is, the more we need to be sober.
This is the answer given by countless historical lessons. Li Yuan forced himself to calm down and tried to see clearly the most suitable one for Qin among the complicated clues. After taking Carthage, Gaul, Thrace, and Egypt,
After a round of calculations among the nominal allies of Judea, Li Yuan called in the counselors.
Military relies on generals and talents, and literature relies on counselors.
Li Yuan came from a fighting background, so it was natural that he would be surrounded by stars. However, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the relatively weak civil service system became divided. Especially after the Western Expedition, a large number of talented people such as Jia Yi and Zhang Shizhi
, Feng Tang and other young people joined the Western Expedition team, and they took on the important tasks of advising military aircraft, political affairs, and making suggestions.
The victory in the Battle of Crete made this group of staff members overjoyed. This was a scam they carefully planned to use Greek merchant ships to trap pirates. Unfortunately, Greer, the big pirate leader, fell into the trap.
"Everyone, now we have a mission to Carthage. Your purpose is to go to Carthage city quickly, meet with Commander Hannibal, and tell him that if you want to take revenge, you should take a moment.
The specific time for dispatching troops will be based on our Great Qin Army launching an offensive on the eastern front——." As he spoke, Li Yuan glanced at the faces of Jia Yi and others.
"Your Majesty, I would like to go to the city of Carthage. However, the Carthaginians and the Romans have been enmity for generations. This time they finally found an opportunity. I am afraid they will not give up. And based on my knowledge, Hanni
In a favorable situation, it is inevitable to take action first." Jia Yi, with a dark face, stood up and said in a buzzing voice.
If you give, you will get.
Jia Yi's dark face is the result of being baked under the heat waves of northern Africa for a long time. Even yellow people are almost as tanned as black people. When Lu Jia gradually retreated to the second line due to physical reasons, Jia Yi, Zhang Shizhi and other batches of
Young counselors emerged, which made Li Yuan most gratified.
"If Hannibal insists, give him this letter." Li Yuan said as he handed the silk letter he had just drawn up into Jia Yi's hand.
In the letter, Li Yuan did not hide anything, and told Hannibal, his ally, Qin's recent strategic intentions in detail, and pointed out that the confrontation with Rome should not be rushed, and that it would gradually erode Rome's national power and eliminate the Romans' power.
