Chapter 344 Don't stop returning to the teacher

When Marclus' eagerly expectant eyes swept over, Fu Ge knew that he had steadily gained the upper hand in this battle.

"Ha, although Hannibal is outstanding enough, what can he do without Carthage's homeland? Isn't it clear to the consul as smart as Scipio?"

Fu Ge smiled and said. Since the prey has taken the bait, there is no need to start a negotiation of conditions in a hurry. At this time, the more calm you are and the more you remain unmoved, the more anxious your opponent will be.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. You may be able to say this to others. For Hannibal, if you cannot capture him alive with your own hands, I, Marclus, hope to see his body. I think the conscience of Scipio, is the same as mine." As if hearing the contempt in Fugo's words, Marclus cheered up and replied loudly.

The Romans' deep hatred and deep fear of Hannibal was just like the Qin people who were facing the Huns. No matter how long it took, no matter whether the opponent had the strength to fight back or not, the alertness would never be eliminated.

"Well, since that's the case, please ask General Marclus to go back and report to the consul Scipio, saying that the Seleucids are the enemy of our Qin people and we will definitely attack. As for Hannibal, I hope that the consul Scipio can show true sincerity, otherwise, even if we get Hannibal, we will not hand him over to your country."

Strange goods are a place to live.

Since Hannibal is so popular and the Romans value it so much, how can this transaction be worthy of the difficult years when I was studying hard in middle school?

When Fu Ge finished speaking, Marclus's face turned red. He never expected that the Qin emperor, who was still close to him just now, would become so heartless in the blink of an eye.

"His Majesty the Emperor, my Roman military power was fought on the battlefield, not by blowing it with a mouth. I, Marclus, sincerely considers His Majesty the Emperor, and hope you can take back what you said just now."

"General Marclus is very correct. I have also heard of your great achievements in fighting the Syraguans in Sicily. However, one thing I want to be clear is that the prestige of my Great Qin was also fought by soldiers. In front of my loyal and brave soldiers of the Great Qin, no army can block their way. Therefore, if your country wants to get Hannibal from us in the future, it must pay the corresponding price. This is just a transaction."

Fu Ge completely ignored Marclus' threat. The first thing to do in negotiations is strength. Without strength as a backing, all ideas are empty talk.

Now, the Qin army encircled and annihilated the main force of the Seleuxi Army in Persepolis. Although Antioch III could still retain a considerable part of the territory of Syria and Egypt, the decline was irreversible. Under such a situation, it was only a matter of time before the Qin army launched a general attack on Antioch City.

"Well, I will explain all this to the consul Scipio, but, His Majesty, there is a saying that I would like to remind your country that the Mediterranean is the inland sea of ​​the Roman Republic, and I sincerely hope that your army will not step in there, otherwise, I, Marclus and the Roman fleet, will regard you as unwelcome people."

A helpless expression hung on Marclus's face. Although he was still tough on his lips, Fu Ge knew that the Roman general in front of him had already made concessions.

I believe that after Marclus returns, he will definitely explain the interests of it clearly to Scipio. In this way, the possibility of reaching a deal will be quite high. Of course, Scipio is just the consul of the Roman Republic, and his opinions need to be implemented with the consent of the Senate. After all, Rome is not the era of supreme imperial power established by Octavian, and Scipio is not Emperor Caesar.

What can I get with Hannibal?

The whole of Egypt is not sure whether it can be done. If possible, take part of Syria, the Dead Sea, Asia Minor, and Greece on the east coast of the Mediterranean. In that case, Qin will become a major country spanning Asia, Europe and Africa.

"General Marclus, thank you for coming from afar. Please accept gifts from the ancient Eastern Kingdoms. For us, the Qin people, Rome is our most honorable guest and the most honorable friend. If our two countries can live in peace, I can guarantee that the silk fabrics that the consuls, congressmen and nobles of your country will be continuously transported from the East, and they will become the most beautiful scenery that embellishes the banquets in the Roman city."

It is natural to say a few good things when you get a cheaper trip, and it is natural to give a little gift. Due to the long journey and huge risks, the price of the Qin silk and other objects arrived in Rome was numerous times. More importantly, the Roman Republic, from the consuls to ordinary civilians, was deeply obsessed with silk from the East. Therefore, when Fu Ge ordered the trusted guards to present a batch of high-quality silk fabrics, Marclus' pair of angry eyes immediately shone brightly.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is so generous. I'm not polite to this!"

With a satisfied smile, General Marclus proudly stepped out of the majestic Babylonian Town Hall. Behind him, several followers bent over and carried the bags on their backs with difficulty, but the expression on their faces was particularly joyful. There was nothing else to explain. The superior would leave some soup for the servants to drink when eating meat.

Not to mention how Marclus explained the negotiations with Consul Scipio and the Senate after he returned, he turned around and talked about the war on the Eastern Front.

Just as Fuge was talking to the Roman envoy, a three thousand expeditionary army search unit led by Luan Bu met the remaining soldiers of the fleeing Gusrishah in the middle of the Tigris River. Faced with such a great gift, Luan Bu was ecstatic, who had never had a big battle. On the one hand, he urgently ordered his personal soldiers to return to Babylon to report, and on the other hand, he set up a blocking formation along the river valley, preparing to annihilate the remaining troops of Seleucid in one fell swoop.

Tigris Valley, Ashul City (that is, today's Mosul).

This ancient city has a history of more than a thousand years. It was once the capital of the ancient Assyrian dynasty. Of course, this method of calculating the age is based on Qin. If calculated based on the era when Fu Ge came, it would last for more than three thousand years.

In addition to the long history of civilization, Ashuer City is also an important connection point on the ancient Silk Road. It is precisely because of its existence that goods from the East can successfully reach Asia Minor, Eastern Europe and even the more distant Apennines.

Based on the important position of the city of Ashul, shortly after conquering the city of Babylon, Fu Ge, who realized that the Seleucids might also contact the city through Ashul and other places, quickly ordered Luan Bu to lead a partial army to occupy the city. As he expected, Gusrishah, the evil wolf trapped in the cage, ran into Ashul in a panic.

Standing in the tall and majestic temple of Ashur City, Luan Bu looked serious and murderous.

"The warriors of the Expeditionary Force, let me tell you good news. Ten days ago, the main force of our Great Qin and the Western Regions Alliance defeated the Seleuth Western Army in Gaofucheng. The enemy was buried in the wild and blood flowed into a river. Now, our Daqin Battle Flag, our Invincible Iron Cavalry of the Great Qin are already rushing westward. I believe that in the near future, our two armies will meet together!"

"The Qin Dynasty is invincible, the Qin Dynasty is powerful and powerful!"

"Long live Fu Shuai!"

"Long live the fourth emperor!"

News of victory will always be exciting, especially for wanderers who are on the expedition. Although the soldiers who joined this foreign army in the southern expedition are all voluntary and have a considerable number of veterans with combat experience, they are still humans after all, and they are still flesh and blood people.

So, it is no wonder that a message from his hometown, a potential meeting with thousands of compatriots in a foreign land, made the soldiers shout so excited.

"Quiet!"

When all the soldiers calmed their breath and focused their eyes on Luan Bu, they heard even more excited news: "Warriors, under the pursuit of our Qin army, the Seleusian eastern capital Persepolis has been captured by us. Gusrishah, the executioner who launched a crime war, is now fleeing to the city of Ashuer with his defeated generals. Everyone said, what should we treat these bitches with?"

After being with Ying Bu for a long time, Luan Bu learned to swear words without realizing it. If it were normal, these scoldings would be nothing, but today, in the ears of the soldiers, Luan Bu's words were particularly pleasant.

"General, please give orders. I promise to make that guy Gusrishah a floating corpse in the Tigris River!"

"The floating corpse is so cheap, this mess. I want to capture this kid alive, remove him from a huge amount, and then let the arrogant kids of the cavalry see that our expeditionary army is not a good meal."

"General, we all listen to you on how you play this battle."

When they heard the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, the captains, captains and military marquis under Luan Bu were ready to fight for their first achievements. The soldiers lined up all showed ecstasy. They were already planning how many heads they could cut when they went into battle later.

"Hmph, you all listen. The Seleucids rushed towards Ashul so anxiously, because if they could not cross the Tigris River, they would only have the path of death. Therefore, although the enemy was already a group of defeated soldiers, they were still a group of evil wolves. We must not be careless. We must fight Gusrishah, our goal is to destroy the Seleucids as much as possible. Therefore, we must let them see hope and pay a huge price. Do you understand?"
