The combat effectiveness of this legion is a mystery, but both this legion and the 30th legion stationed in North Africa are very special.

Simply put, the 20th Legion stationed in Great Britain is not a Governor of Great Britain, and the 30th Legion is not a Governor of North Africa. These two legions are always like fathers working. Don’t worry about fathers, don’t ask why, but fathers are beating people.

More importantly, in the official history, since the Twentieth Eagle Flag Legion stationed at Hadrian's Wall, the Celtics have never broken through the past from where they were stationed. Moreover, this situation not only refers to the current situation in the second century, but also refers to the situation after Karakara died after a long crisis in the third century.

However, at present, this legion is relatively fascinating. At least judging from the information obtained by Shen Pei, this legion is indeed very strange.

As an Eagle Flag Legion, it’s fine if it’s stationed in Great Britain, which has no enemies at all. It’s not like that, but I haven’t returned to Italy for many years to report my work. I feel like I’m using Britain as my nest. The problem is that this is an Eagle Flag Legion.

Theoretically speaking, the Eagle Flag Legion organized by Rome was basically not too weak, and this should not happen anyway. But in fact, the Twentieth Legion has been staying in Great Britain and has no idea of ​​participating in Roman internal affairs.

"This legion may not be easy to deal with." Shen Pei sighed and said. Nowadays, for the Roman Empire, it is definitely not easy to deal with a legion with such great autonomy. After all, only strength is the best pass these days.

"We were prepared for this. In fact, when we were traveling from the Arctic Ocean to Great Britain, we were mentally prepared. After all, the mistress also said that there was always a legion stationed there." Chunyu Qiong said calmly. He was indeed here to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

After all, I have known Shen Pei for so many years, and I have experienced Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan in this life. I have suffered so much that the friendship between these acquaintances is much deeper than before, so Chunyu Qiong decided to send Shen Pei for a journey.

"We try our best to bypass the 20th Legion and not fight with the other party." Shen Pei thought for a while and said, "Britain is not small. It is just one 20th Legion and two barbarian legions. As long as we are careful, we can actually avoid it."

"I think so too, just be careful then." Chunyu Qiong nodded, but that's what he said, but what happened next determines the fate of the Yuan family. How could he say that he would just be able to get out of the way? The war horses must be snatched back.

"Then let's clean up the supplies and go there. Thanks to the winter in the north for being long enough to give us more time to go to Great Britain." Shen Pei looked like a prayer, even the most determined wise man would pray with a little extravagant hope at this time.

"According to the attack on him unexpectedly, they probably wouldn't have thought that we would go to the Arctic Ocean." Chunyu Qiong nodded and said.

At first, Yuan's plan was similar to the idea of ​​the former Celtic patriarch. He took a boat and came by, but Yuan's problem was that a fully organized legion required a large number of ships, and there was no shipyard in the Yong family.

At that time, Celtic had only a few dozen or hundreds of people, so it could float along the current with a small boat on the spot. But how could a legion of the Yuan family be able to float over? So in the end, Shen Pei decided to take advantage of the winter to walk directly from the ice.

Not to mention that this era is in the Little Ice Age, even in later generations, the Arctic Ocean in winter is frozen solid, and this peripheral ice surface will last for several months. This time is enough for Shen Pei. Of course, it has a big flaw to do this. Once the climate warms up earlier at the beginning of next year, Shen Pei and others will be trapped in Great Britain.

The possibility of this is not small, because the Han Dynasty currently does not have climate and hydrological data in Great Britain. All they can use is experience, and no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes in experience.

But Chunyu Qiong finally agreed to this plan. Even though it was very dangerous, under the current situation, they would not have many choices. If they could get those war horses one day in advance, the Yuan family would be able to accumulate their own combat effectiveness one day in advance.

In the Eastern Europe battle, the Yuan family was already very tired. So far, the Yuan family has more than 25,000 soldiers killed in Eastern Europe. Even though most of them are Slavs, this is enough to be called a loss of great damage to the Yuan family.

As for Rome, although the barbarians suffered greater losses and the citizens suffered a lot of losses, the huge size of Rome was placed there, and such a small loss could still be sustained. This is also the reason why Huangfu Song was forced to retreat, because of Niger's endless scout war, it was really disgusting.

Compared with Albinus before, Niger was a real famous general. Even if he was one level away from Huangfu Song, he would definitely not be able to beat Huangfu Song when he fought head-on. However, after the round-rotation battles, the new Second Parthian Legion and the Fourth Lucky Arrival, after the war changes again and again, Huangfu Song was somewhat dragged into the rhythm.

This is helpless. Huangfu Song is not weak. On the contrary, Huangfu Song can hold up this group of people in a year when his troops are not in advantage. However, he cannot hold up the continuous elite legion of Rome.

The Yuan family has no extra legions to rotate. If there weren't a legion like Super Heavy Step, who could still get up and become stronger after death, the Yuan family might have been dragged to death.

The Yuan family is very strong, but like all top kingdoms, the Yuan family cannot afford to lose when facing the empire. As long as you lose one game, you will be in danger of losing the country.

So far, Huangfu Song, the battlefield in Eastern Europe, has voluntarily retreated for more than 70 miles and is approaching the tributary of the Volga River. As for retreating again, it is impossible. After all, the distance between the Don River and the Volga River is only more than 100 kilometers.

If you retreat, the Volga River will be exposed. The Romans had the technology to build this canal, and Rome was not very interested in Eastern Europe, but because it was far away from the local area and could not be controlled. But if this canal could be penetrated, Rome would be able to take a boat from the Mediterranean to most parts of Eastern Europe, so it was impossible to continue to retreat.

Huangfu Song and Yuan Tan also understand this, so the former is looking for tactics to get into the battle and gain room for maneuver, while the latter is trying hard to accumulate national strength, stabilize the situation in his own country as much as possible, and wait for the opportunity to come.

But whether it was Huangfu Song or Yuan Tan, the pressure was very high. In addition, Cao Cao had recalled Xiahou Dun, and a new vacancy appeared in Eastern Europe. Even though Yuan Tan was ready early in the morning and quickly replaced Xiahou Dun's position with the Yuyang Cavalry led by Guo Yuan.

But it was only part of the change in the war situation. What is the future situation? With the analysis of Xun Chen, Xu You and others, Yuan Tan also knew that the Han and Guizhou Wars were fought to this extent, and Rome would definitely want this war to continue, which had huge benefits for the Roman Empire.

Every day the war lasted, Rome could squeeze out gold coins from Kushan for one more day.

Under this premise, Xu You and Xun Chen both explained the situation that Yuan would face in detail to Yuan Tan. The Roman Empire would continue to test pressure in Eastern Europe, allowing the Han Dynasty to allocate part of its power to Eastern Europe. The Yuan Dynasty had two choices. One was to provide a large amount of support from the Han Dynasty and act according to Rome's intentions, and the other was to find a way to hold on.

Yuan Tan chose the latter. When the Han Dynasty attacked the Kushans as a whole, he did not help himself. If he still had to borrow troops to maintain the situation in Eastern Europe, it was almost completely equivalent to following the intentions of Rome and dragging the Han Dynasty back.

Since this is the case, it is better to say nothing and do your best to resist Rome. If you really can't beat it, you should retreat to the east of the Ural Mountains, admit that you are weak, and admit that you are not qualified to occupy Eastern Europe.

This is why Yuan Tan didn't have any extra words, but just asked Yuan Shu to concentrate all the power of his family, but did not speak with the Han Dynasty. This guy was ready to continue the stalemate with Rome by relying solely on his own strength.

In Yuan Tan's words, if the destiny was in Yuan's family, then the Yuan family would naturally delay the most difficult period. If the destiny was not in Yuan's family, even if reinforcements were borrowed, Eastern Europe would still not be the territory of Yuan's family. If that's the case, then do what we think is right - our Yuan family has no spare energy to help the Han family attack the Kushans, but at least we will not give up the energy of the Han family.

As for Zhang Ren and his headquarters, this is actually an unexpected surprise for Yuan. However, Zhang Ren is still on the way and it will take quite a while to arrive here. Even if he marched rapidly, he may not arrive until next year.

On the ice cap of the Arctic Ocean, Li Jue and a group of people were moving forward bravely in the blizzard. It was the most dangerous some time ago. When they encountered an Arctic storm, Li Jue and others met the Eskimos, and then learned the igloo skills from these people and were able to escape the disaster.

After that, the group of people began to plan to march south again. With their steel body and amazing will, the group of people crossed the Arctic blizzard. As for the ten guards of the Kou family, they were too lazy to say anything at this time. They also followed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry all the way. Although it was very embarrassed, their talent mastery had reached a higher level.
