For the Yuan family, which has already prepared various measures to deal with this kind of thing, and has even brought in small and medium-sized families from Guandong and Guanxi, and is preparing to practice with Rome, they do not hesitate to waste their own potential to prepare, but the opponent retreats halfway.
The news is really too embarrassing.
Just like a bad student preparing for an exam, he finally settled down to prepare and was well prepared for the exam. As a result, the exam was postponed. How can the bad student continue to settle down and study? How is it possible? Of course he is going to play.
Went.
"First send this news back to Sizhao City and summon all the ministries to strengthen the alert. Even if the Romans retreat, there can be no carelessness." Guo Yuan suppressed the irritability in his heart and ordered decisively.
"Yes, General!" The scout clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.
"The Romans just retreated like this?" Guo Yuan felt uncomfortable. He knew very well that the reinforcements sent by the Han Dynasty were about to arrive in Sizhao City. However, the enemy Roman legions actually retreated. In this case, all their previous actions would be in vain.
Lost value.
"The Romans withdrew." About two days later, the Yuan family, who relied on snow eagles to deliver news, quickly received the news from the Eastern European border. Yuan Tan, who was in the core palace complex of Sizhao City, was a little embarrassed.
said.
"The Romans retreated?" Yuan Wenshi was not much surprised, but the Pope who was wandering in the palace jumped up immediately. Compared to the Yuan family, the Celts really hated Rome deeply, but they did not
It's useless. Just a few people from Rome are enough to defeat the Celtics. Even a world-breaking Pope is of no use.
Yuan Tan glanced at the Pope, who decisively pretended to be dead. Yuan Tan had no intention of dealing with him. After being married for such a long time, Yuan Tan had become accustomed to this Celtic female Pope who was often in an outrageous state. As for political marriage,
Yes, it seems that the Wen family daughter's marriage to Yuan Tan was not a political marriage. In this Han Empire, there were not many people who jumped out of the political marriage circle.
Seeing that Yuan Tan just glanced at it, the female pope pretended to be dead for a while and then sneaked out. Compared with the Wen family girl, there was no Celtic restraint, or it could be said that she found a way out for the Celtics.
The female pope was very happy.
The food in Great Britain has been so outrageous since ancient times. In addition, in the past, we were burdened with the blood feud of the Celtics. Every day, we had to think about how to develop and how to join forces. Now with the support of the old Yuan family, the Celtics only need to
Yuan Tan was still willing to provide shelter despite obeying his obligations as a subject. Naturally, the female pope completely liberated her nature.
"Military Commander Xun has judged that Rome will come again in the spring of next year." Yuan Tan gave some warnings after a while. This woman is going crazy. It is very likely that she will not be able to find a real top boundary-breaking master, and the opponent has gradually changed recently.
It's pleasing to the eye.
To put it simply, the originally purple hair and eyes have begun to turn black, and have become less conspicuous recently. They already look like one of their own. With such an appearance, Yuan Tan feels that when Huangfu Song comes in half a month,
If you take her to greet you, you can still accept it.
"You're still here." After the female pope suddenly appeared, she said with resentment.
"Rome is an empire after all. Although you can be shameless at certain times, you must practice what you say on certain things, so they will definitely come to teach us a lesson." Yuan Tan said majestically, completely unmoved.
"Humph." The female pope snorted and said nothing. The Roman Empire was indeed powerful.
"Your hair and eyes will be transformed into normal within half a month. Then I will take you to pick someone up." Yuan Tan glanced at the female pope and warned, even though he knew that the female pope was actually trying to please himself.
, but this approach of doing what you like is obviously effective.
After that, Yuan Tan sent the female pope away. For such a big person, he has world-breaking strength, and there will be no danger in his main city. As for making public appearances, he doesn't care about it at this time.
These.
"The Roman Empire!" Yuan Tan whispered to himself, then suppressed the irritability in his heart and began to read the official documents handed over by Xun Chen and others. Now he is indeed moving towards the road of hegemony. Compared with what he had done in the Central Plains
Compared with the childishness that took shelter under Yuan Shao's wings when he was young, compared with the irritability when Yuan Shao just died in battle and faced Wen Chou, Yuan Tan now indeed has a bit of Yuan Shao's style.
"Husband, we are east of the Ural Mountains and Rome is on the Mediterranean. Even if we leave him alone, the Romans will not be able to kill him." Perhaps seeing Yuan Tan's irritability, the Wen family woman asked in a rare move.
"Eastern Europe is the foundation of the empire. Even if we can't use it to achieve the empire, with that place in hand, we can advance and retreat freely in the future." Yuan Tan said softly, that area of Eastern Europe can really build an empire.
.
"But is the current situation suitable?" The family that can marry into the Yuan family is not a small family, and this is not an era where a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Talent, learning, and wisdom are also one of the assets of a woman's marriage.
"It's not appropriate, but even if it's not for us, it still needs to be taken down for the sake of future generations. It's a fact that the Romans have short legs, but the Romans can occupy Eastern Europe." Yuan Tan said softly, "Xu You sent someone to investigate
After understanding the terrain, we found the top consultants, and finally came to the conclusion that if Rome really determines the value of Eastern Europe, Rome can rule."
The daughter of the Wen family was stunned when she heard this and looked at Yuan Tan with an unbelievable look. It was well known that Romans had short legs. It was precisely because of this prerequisite that the Yuan family could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. But now Yuan Tan told him,
Rome could rule this place, how could she not be shocked? After all, as the mistress of the Yuan family, she knew very well how much territory her husband controlled.
More than four million square kilometers, it can compete with the Han Dynasty in those days. What's more important is that these places are all plains. Even if you can only plant one crop a year, the land that does not need to be left fallow is enough to illustrate its value.
.
"The Roman army was indeed short-legged, but its navy was very powerful. There is a river called the Don River, which is in the Eastern European plains, and there is a river called the Volga River, which is the vein of the Eastern European plains. These two rivers are not connected, but in the
A suitable location, about a hundred kilometers away, can be penetrated and passed through." Yuan Tan said softly.
This was the conclusion drawn by the top consultants sent by the Yuan family when Xu You was drawing the map of the entire Eastern Europe. After communicating with each other over a distance of one hundred kilometers, one could sail directly from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. More importantly, the Don River and the
After the Volga River was connected, the Romans could reach most places in Eastern Europe along the Volga River.
After all, Kanyu and Feng Shui masters came to the conclusion that the Volga River basin covers an area of more than one-third of Eastern Europe. In other words, if the canal was built, the Romans could almost cover Eastern Europe by sending troops from the Mediterranean.
This conclusion was the reason why the Yuan family had to get serious, because the Romans could give up their interests because they were too far away, or they could give up their interests because they were too thin or too difficult, but they would never give up such easily accessible benefits.
Even though the excavation of this canal is difficult and the construction cost is high, after it is completed, it will directly connect the Mediterranean Sea to the Caspian Sea, and it will also control half of the Eastern European plains. With the current strength of the Romans, they will definitely do this, even if
It will take two to three years to repair it.
"So the Ural Mountains are not safe. As long as Rome determines its value, they will not mind competing with us for this inheritance. And with this inheritance in hand, Rome can live for many years." Yuan Tan said softly, and Wen Wen said softly.
Only now does my daughter know why the Yuan family would rather go to war in Eastern Europe than huddle east of the Ural Mountains.
The latter is safe, but it will cut off the future and may allow Rome to take off. If Rome really dredges the Volga-Don Canal, then they who send troops from the Caspian Sea will be able to reach Sizhao City and the original resting land.
, the current vassal states of the Han Dynasty are all under the military front of Rome, and even Rome can touch Congling if it is willing.
At that point, Rome would no longer be a regional empire, but a super empire that spanned several time zones, and the Han Dynasty as a whole would be very passive.
"So our Eastern Europe must fall into our hands and not into the hands of Rome. Even if they can't discover the quality of Eastern Europe's soil, they must have the feeling that Eastern Europe is far away and the logistics are too long. Our Yuan family will never retreat.
." Yuan Tan said aggressively.
After saying this, Yuan Tan was suddenly stunned, smiled and said to Wen's daughter, "I'm stupid, I shouldn't have told you this."
Wen's daughter didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. She just picked up the boiled tea from the small stove nearby and poured a cup for Yuan Tan. Then she sat there quietly and said nothing.
After a while, Yuan Tan read through the official documents. A gust of wind swept by, the door curtain was blown open, and the Pope flew back against the snow. At this time, Yuan Tan saw that the heavy snow had accumulated outside.
It's almost a foot thick.
"Tomorrow the official organization will organize manpower to clear the snow, and come with me to see the soldiers and civilians." Yuan Tan just glanced at the female pope, whose skirt was fluttering and covered in snow, and then turned to his wife and said, "This is a world-class strong man."
If you are not affected by the cold and heat, and if you are a bit embarrassed, the maid will take care of it, so you don't need to control it too much.
"Have I prepared gifts before?" Yuan Wenshi nodded, then looked at the female pope who was being taken care of by a maid, and asked, "Does my sister need to go with me?"
"No." The natural answer was that except for the Celtic tribes, the female pope would not accompany Yuan Tan to condolences any people. Even if she did not know these things, even Yuan Wenshi hinted that she did not care, but
Why make things difficult for others in front of others.
