The consuls' words were not alarmist. After hearing this, the Senate looked at each other. They all knew that after the war with Macedonia, the Roman cavalry did not gain any advantage in the hands of the Qin cavalry, but instead suffered a lot of losses. It was in this situation that the consuls made the decision to return to Rome in the dark that day.

Although these elders believed that the decision was definitely a bit hasty, there was no doubt that the strength of the Qin Dynasty was. They knew in their hearts that the consul wanted to take Macedonia, of course, as well. After all, if he took down Macedonia, the Romans' old enemy for many years, it would be a huge contribution. Perhaps he could directly get rid of the control of the Senate in this era. Such benefits, even if there was only a slight chance, the consul would definitely try it, so there was no possibility that he deliberately wanted.

"Since that's the case, Macedonia has fallen into the hands of the Qin Dynasty. Wouldn't we be very passive? If the combat effectiveness of the Qin soldiers is really much higher than that of our Roman soldiers, how should we deal with it once they come to attack us?"

After asking this question, the consul breathed a little relieved, believing that the people in the Senate were not so unreasonable.

"It is precisely because of this that we did not fight the second battle with the Qin Dynasty. If we continue to fight with the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty will obviously understand all our characteristics and combat effectiveness, which is not a good thing for the upcoming war between us and the Qin Dynasty in the future."

"Will there be wars between us and Daqin?"

"Yes, this time the Qin Dynasty can calculate so accurately, and it directly crossed the Macedonians and attacked us Romans directly, which means that the Qin Dynasty is fully prepared for the offensive. After this battle, the one who did not fall will be the overlord of this world. The reason why I retreated is because wherever the battle is fought, which side attacks and which side defends it doesn't matter. If we want to be the final winner, we must prepare in the early stage."

The consul had obviously seen the intentions of the Qin Dynasty and the essence of the current situation in the world. After saying this, the old guys who had always believed in the fact that Rome was the number one force in the world took a breath, because they had already heard it in the consul's words. At least he was not sure that he could win the war with the Qin Dynasty.

"You mean...we can only wait here for the Qin Dynasty to attack us, and we cannot organize a considerable number of troops to attack Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty?"

"If I guess correctly, after I left this time, Philip V had only two ways, either completely became a vassal of the Qin Dynasty or a dead end. No matter which situation happened to him, Macedonia's territory would be occupied or ruled by the Qin Dynasty. In this way, Macedonia became an isolation belt between the Seleujiner Mauryan Dynasty. We cannot directly conquer the Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty after conquering Macedonia, so we can only serve as the defense side. This is exactly the goal that the Qin Dynasty deliberately wanted to achieve. Now it seems that when the Qin general Meng Tian brought 50,000 troops to attack the city of a small force under our command, it must have been counted as of today. It has to be said that the power of the Qin Dynasty is indeed a talent."

The guys in the Senate didn't have any leisure to listen to the consul's analysis and sigh. After roughly understanding what situation they were going to face, they had only one problem.

"If the cavalry of Daqin really attacked, how sure are you?"

Yes, whether the Romans attacked the Qin Dynasty or the Qin Dynasty attacked Rome, the people who eventually led their troops to attack were all the consuls of Rome. The consuls were a little sure of it, which obviously became the most critical factor that concerns whether the Romans could truly stand at the peak of this world.

Although the guys in the Senate had discovered that the Roman consuls had not taken what they said seriously for a long time, they could not make any more stringent demands on the consuls at such an occasion. If they suddenly said that they would not do anything, they obviously could not find a more suitable person.

The consul glanced at the guys who were already gray-haired and could not make any contribution to Rome but were still obsessed with the power in their hands. Then he sneered and said, "I am sure that in the end, not only one winner is there. I am the consul of Rome, so I will do my best. As for the others, if you cannot help me kill the enemy in front of the battlefield, I have no choice."

After saying that, the consul waved his sleeves and walked out of the huge hall quickly. There was no other sound except his footsteps.

When he turned around and left, he made a decision in his heart. He had been thinking about this matter in his heart for a long time. Finally, at this moment, he decided to take this step. After all, a powerful enemy was right in front of him. If he wanted to concentrate on dealing with Da Qin, he had to get rid of the tail that might drag him down around him.

After leaving from these people in the Senate, the consul returned to his residence, where two people had been waiting for a long time.

One of them is the appearance of a Roman scholar, and the other is the appearance of a great Qin man. If Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were still alive at this time, they would be shocked to see this man's face, because this man was Zhao Hu who was missing when they were captured by the Qin soldiers led by Han Xin and Meng Tian.

It was obviously something that no one expected to see Zhao Hu's appearance in front of the Roman consul, but after thinking about it carefully, this was another inevitable thing. Zhao Hu had already made a name for himself in the land around Seliu. If the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty occupied Seliu, he could not quickly escape from the previous land, he knew that he would be taken down by the people of the Qin Dynasty. So after thinking about it, he simply made up his mind to come to the land of Rome.

What Zhao Hu didn't expect was that he had just expressed his identity and intentions, and wanted to see if he could use his understanding of the Qin Dynasty to have a place in the Roman territory. But before he could do anything, the Roman consul took the lead in finding him, hoping that he could become a figure similar to the Roman consul's aide.

Zhao Hu knew that the Roman consul did this because of his understanding of the Great Qin. At least before the Great Qin was destroyed, he was very useful to the Roman consul. In this process, whether he could become a very useful figure under the Roman consul depends on his performance.

Not long after Zhao Hu arrived under the Roman consul, there was the previous incident of Philip V leading troops to attack Egypt. At that time, Zhao Hu also asked to follow the Roman army, but the consul refused his request, because although Zhao Hu was strong himself, he did not know the characteristics and fighting methods of the Roman cavalry, so he was not suitable to fight against a strong enemy like Philip V.

Of course, when Zhao Hu was left on the Roman territory, the consul once said that this period was an excellent period for Zhao Hu to be familiar with the Romans and with Roman warriors.

When Zhao Hu returned from Macedonia, Zhao Hu was indeed different from before. Although he was born with the appearance of a great Qin man, he was almost unique in the Roman territory. Such appearance caused him a lot of trouble, but Zhao Hu did not let anyone bully him through his years of experience in exile in Da Qin and everywhere. Instead, he studied the various situations in Rome very deeply.

Through this period of investigation, Zhao Hu also discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the Roman system is very different from other dynasties. Although the consuls managed the daily system of Rome, they had at most constraints on major events, and these constraints mainly came from the Senate.

Zhao Hu knew that the person he came to surrender was the consul of Rome, not the Senate, and he keenly felt a point, that is, the relationship between the consul and the Senate was not harmonious, and the Senate had the power to change the consul. Zhao Hu believed that the Senate was like a sharp sword hanging above the consul's head. In the end, either the sharp sword fell down, or the consul would take the sword away himself.

This time, the consul had already ordered before going to the Senate to secretly summon Zhao Hu to his mansion. At this time, Zhao Hu, because he had been hanging in this area for many years, was already familiar with the language of Rome, Macedonia and other places. This allowed him to communicate face to face with the consul, which was undoubtedly very safe for himself and the consul.

After seeing the consul come back, the person in charge of leading Zhao Hu here slowly retreated. For a moment, only Zhao Hu and the consul were left in the room. Zhao Hu's heart involuntarily beating slightly faster, because he knew clearly that such a meeting was very likely to be a sign that the consul needs to reuse himself, and what he had to do was to seize the opportunity he was about to provide him.

"Do you know, what is the purpose of I'll find you here this time?"

It goes without saying that Zhao Hu's martial power is worth. After he arrived in Rome, the consul had already tried him openly and secretly many times. He was indeed the kind of good player who was considered in the world of Rome, but the consul had not really understood the wisdom. What he wanted to know now was whether Zhao Hu was just a rash man or a general who was willing to be civil and military.

"I am stupid and dare not secretly guess what the consul is thinking, but this time I summoned someone here, there should be no escape."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hu looked up at the consul of Rome and cast a questioning look, obviously asking whether he should say the next words.

"It's okay, no matter what you say, I won't blame you." The consul waved his hand lightly and signaled him to continue.

"First of all, Macedonia must have begun to decline after this war. The only forces in this world are Rome and Daqin. However, no matter whether they are Romans or Daqin, they will never be able to stay in peace. Rome and Daqin will have a war sooner or later. I am a Daqin. In my early years, I stayed in Xianyang City for a long time. So in the Roman realm, no one knows more about Daqin than me.

2. I have been in Rome for a short time, and I have hardly ever officially appeared in the city. Except for some consuls, there are almost no nobles who know my existence. Therefore, the consul is afraid that I will do something that your people are inconvenient to come forward. I am good at fighting and killing, so the consul is afraid that I will let me kill people. In this huge Rome, the consuls can make the consuls afraid to this extent, probably the Senate is the only one who can make the consuls afraid of this."

After saying that, Zhao Hu looked at the Rome consul with bright eyes, waiting for his reaction.

The consul was still very surprised that Zhao Hu could say so much. He was sure now that Zhao Hu was not a rash man, and his head was quite intelligent.

The consul knew that since he had found Zhao Hu, and his plan had already been formed, but the last piece of puzzle was missing. Now the last piece of puzzle has appeared in front of him, and it was Zhao Hu.

"This time I call you up, there is indeed something shameful that needs you to do, and it may not be very difficult for your ability. If this is done well, you will become my confidant. When you attack Daqin in the future, you will also become a very important part. However, if this matter fails or is exposed during the process, I will not rescue you at all. In other words, if it fails, no one will know that I asked you to do this. Of course, you can choose to refuse now, but it would be too late to refuse when I say what it is."

The Roman consuls were still very organized in their work. If Zhao Hu refused at this time, he would obviously not be embarrassed, but he would not become the true confidant of the Roman consuls in the future.
