Antioch Protectorate Hall.

Jia Xu and Guan Yu stood in front of the map, discussing the current battle situation.

Guan Yu said: "According to the scout report, the Romans have retreated to Nicosia and do not seem to be planning to retreat just like this. It seems that they have not given up yet."|

Jia Xu frowned slightly and thought, "At this moment, the Romans should have learned the truth about the Byzantine War. Byzantines have not been broken through, and they were defeated by us and suffered heavy damage. Generally speaking, they should retreat, why...?"

Guan Yu said proudly: "The barbarians in the foreign countries must think that their troops are still stronger than ours, so they don't want to give up. It's just right not to retreat, so you can take the opportunity to hurt them again!"

Jia Xu nodded thinking.

At this time, an officer came in quickly and bowed to Jia Xu and Guan Yu, "Master Qiben Protector, Qiben General, Princess Nisya's envoy has arrived."

The two looked happy, and Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's coming so fast! Come and invite me!" The officer shouted and ran down immediately. After a while, he led a dusty Persian officer in.

As soon as the Persian officer saw Jia Xu and Guan Yu, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The villain is paying homage to the Protector, and the General!"

Jia Xu said: "No need to be polite. Where has Your Highness the Princess been?"

The Persian officer stood up and said respectfully: "His princess has led 130,000 troops to the villages and towns thirty miles east of Antioch. The villain was ordered to take the lead and report to the Protector and the General."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness Princess has worked hard all the way."

Guan Yu said to Jia Xu: "Sir, the Persian army is here, so we might as well change the original plan. I don't think there will be any problems with Byzantine. It's better to unite the Persian army with our army to launch a counterattack against Nicosia, and strive to annihilate the Roman army in one fell swoop!"

Jia Xu smiled and said, "What Chief Yun said is exactly what I think!" Then he thought for a moment, raised his head and said to the Persian officer, "Repay Princess Nisya immediately, please don't go to Byzantium, the whole army comes to Antioch, I want to fight back against the Romans."

The officer bowed and walked away quickly.

Thirty miles east of Antioch, the Persian army was temporarily stationed here, preparing to take a break and then march.

It was already late, but Princess Nisya, the commander of the army, had not yet rested. She was still sitting behind the handsome desk, holding a sheepskin map and watching.

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and a very handsome general with green eyes and blonde hair walked in. The man was named Shaq, who was the most star-shining general in the Persian clan in recent years. Now he is following Nisya as a deputy general.

Shaq glanced at Nisya, who was sitting behind the desk and watching the map attentively, and a very explicit desire flashed in his eyes.

Then he returned to his usual appearance, walked to Nisya, saluted and said, "Your Highness the Princess!..."

Nisya looked up and saw Shaq and said in surprise: "It's so late, General Shaq hasn't rest yet?"

Shaq showed a sunny smile and said, "Your Highness the Princess has no rest, so of course I can't rest either..."

Nisya heard that there seemed to be some strange charm in the other person's words, and she was unanimous.

Shaq glanced at the sheepskin map in Nisya's hand and said, "Your Highness, there is one thing I don't understand..."

Nisya looked at Shaq and asked, "What's there to be that I don't understand?"

Shaq frowned and said, "Our Persian tribe is an independent powerful country. Why must we serve the Han people?! Can't we get rid of them?"

Nisya frowned and said unhappily: "Didn't this matter be explained in the court before? Why do you still have this question?"

Shaq sighed and said, "I just don't want to look at our soldiers and our tribesmen, and die in vain on the battlefield for the irrelevant Orientals.

His Highness, according to the report he received not long ago, the Roman army besieged Antioch, and Antioch was in danger. It was sooner or later that the Han Dynasty people were defeated!

At this time, we rushed over to help the Han people. Wouldn't we be alone in the Romans and the three fierce barbarians? Our soldiers really don't know what a painful price they will pay! For the Han people, this is not worth it!

In addition, if this battle is won, the Han people will still gain the greatest benefit from the Han people occupying Antioch. If they are defeated, the Romans and the three major barbarians will definitely not give up, but will provoke our Persian army!

At that time, our hometown was in danger too!”

Nisya said in a deep voice: "I have said so much to my father, why do you have such strange thoughts?

Our relationship with the Han Dynasty is the flock of sheep and shepherds. If the shepherds are killed, will the wolves regard the flock as their own kind? They will only kill the flock more unscrupulously! Because the shepherds who protect the flock are gone.

So if the Han Dynasty loses, we, Persia, will never have a good end! We must stand on the side of the Han Dynasty and fight side by side with the Han Dynasty!"

Shaq frowned and looked resentful, and couldn't help asking: "Is Your Highness the Princess for the future of our Persia, or for the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

Nisya was stunned, her cheeks flushed involuntarily, and she shouted angrily: "What are you talking about?!" Then she waved her hand impatiently: "Okay! I'm going to rest, you go out!"

Shaq was very unwilling to give up, but after all, he didn't say anything else and turned around and left angrily.

Shaq returned to his tent, looking unscathed.

Seeing this, the confidant next to him couldn't help asking: "General, you..."

Shaq couldn't help but curse, "What's the good thing about the Han Dynasty people? The princess was actually fascinated by this! If the Han Dynasty emperor was in front of me, I would slash him with one knife!"

The confidant roughly understood why Shaq was so angry and frowned and said, "It seems that it is impossible to change the princess's attitude! The next thing is not easy to do!..."

Shaq said ruthlessly: "There is nothing wrong with it. When the army arrives at the location, we will do our best as planned."

The confidant nodded and said with some concern: "But there are only two generals who can be trusted. If you really start it, you may not be able to control the situation!"

Shaq waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. She wouldn't have thought that I could control her as soon as possible. If I control her, the entire army would be in my hands. Who would dare to rebel against me?"

The confidant thought Shaq was very reasonable and smiled and said, "The General is right."

Shaq said with a fierce and excited expression: "When the Han army here is destroyed, you can use the power of the Romans to advance eastward and seize the throne in one fell swoop! Persia will truly become an empire under my leadership and dominate the world!"
