Now that the higher-ups' will in Rome was unanimous, the Yuan family soon received an intention for private peace talks, but this intention was just an intention.
As Papinian said, the Yuan family now has the qualifications to negotiate with Rome, but this qualification is just like this. Once the Yuan family weakens, or Rome seizes some opportunity, then Rome will definitely not mind giving it to them.
The Yuan family came to do something cruel.
"Huh, it's barely done." Huangfu Song sighed as he looked at the secret letter sent from Rome, but it was done. Huangfu Song couldn't guarantee that he could control it so well if we fought such a war again. He had to say that the old man
The Yuan family is still very capable.
"Roma is willing to sit down and talk." The judge smiled and felt reassured, "That would be much better. We are also willing to help Roma eliminate hidden dangers, but the premise is that Roma won't be so tough. The previous situation was going to be...
The momentum with which we beat him to death was a little too much."
"Anyway, it's come to an end this time." Huangfusong looked at the secret letter and smiled. Rome gave this letter, even though there was no substance to say how to solve the matter, but they, who knew it well, actually
It's all very clear.
Rome recognized the fighting power of the Yuan family, and then Rome no longer fought for face, but for profit. Of course, if Rome went to war with the Yuan family next time, it would not only be the current strength, but real strength.
Literally, punch the opponent to death.
Now that your position has been improved, when you really fall out, you won't use the tactics of adding fuel to the fire. Instead, you will use the kind of strength you would have to deal with a real opponent, and kill the opponent with a thunderous blow.
"This is really not easy. The Duke of Rome has a very clear mind." Huangfu Song said with a sigh, "Sure enough, it should be said that a person who can climb to this position cannot really understand politics. His temper is temper.
A brain is a brain."
"That's enough. As for trade and other matters, that's all a matter for the rear and has nothing to do with us." Shen Pei said calmly, "But we still need to trouble General Huangfu Song to continue stationing here.
"
"If I leave now, you will definitely be doomed. Anyway, I have nothing to do. I am fine here." Huangfu Song said calmly. The Yuan family's affairs can only be said to have been settled for one stage. It is still early to say that it is truly settled.
Woolen cloth.
In addition to his military ability, Huangfu Song also has good political ability. At least he can see clearly now that Rome's current compromise can only be said to be due to the strength displayed by the Yuan family, the domestic situation, and the Duke's political stance.
Once one day there is a problem with one of these three rings, Rome will inevitably take action.
There will be a big war at that time, a real war, not a petty fight like this one.
[Look, in two years at most, the Romans will not be vegetarians. They are talking very well now, but they will definitely take action at that time.] Huangfu Song said with a sneer in his heart.
As for the trial partner, his expression was completely expressionless at this time. He also knew very well that there should be another time. After that time, the Yuan family could hold on and stand firm. He used it to restrain himself.
Even if his ideal is completed, he will naturally disappear by then, but that's okay.
"Next, if we have nothing to do, we can build some city defenses or something like that." Huangfu Song said casually, "It's freezing cold here, so watering and freezing it into a city wall won't be a problem."
"Well, I'll just organize the manpower." Shen Pei said plainly, and Huangfusong glanced at Shen Pei and didn't say anything. He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he always felt that Shen Pei was different.
Yuan Jiasi's side in Zhaocheng also received the corresponding secret message not long after. Compared to the calm on the front line, this side was obviously excited.
In any case, with this step, the Yuan family has crossed a big hurdle and is one step closer to the wish they made when they built Sizhao City.
"It's done." Xun Chen said with a sigh. Even if he could guess the opponent's thinking mode, Xun Chen couldn't guarantee that his guess was absolutely correct before the results appeared. After all, accidents were inevitable on the battlefield.
"How long can Zhengnan survive?" Xu You asked bluntly.
"There is no turning back." Xun Chen moved his mouth, but his face was no longer as excited as before.
"Was there any room for change in the past?" Xu You asked tentatively. In fact, at this moment, Xu You knew everything and guessed the possibility, but if he didn't ask or tell it from other people's mouths, he would
Really unwilling.
"It is possible for others, but it is probably not possible for us." Xun Chen was silent for a while and said, "I can't do it now, and Zhengnan can't do it either."
Five years ago, Shen Pei was actually saved. After all, Shen Pei was essentially dragged to death by his own spiritual talent. In this case, medical skills are difficult to save, but it does not mean that others cannot be saved. A group of people under Liu Bei had this problem.
, and Guo Jia, who had the most serious problem, was actually rescued with a lot of dragging, but only the trial match took a road of no return.
There is absolutely no way for Shen Pei to identify with Liu Bei. Even if Shen Pei examines himself and Liu Bei, he will understand that Liu Bei's path is correct, and Liu Bei is indeed a strong man. But to Shen Pei, is that important?
It doesn't matter, Yuan Shao died, it's that simple. The moment Yuan Shao died, it meant that Shen Pei would never be able to agree with Liu Bei in his life, so Shen Pei was dragged to death by his spiritual talent.
Shen Pei once thought that he had to survive for the foundation of the Yuan family, and tried hard to imagine that he could accept Liu Bei and identify with Liu Bei. However, in the end, it was difficult to go against his true feelings and he could not agree with him, no matter what.
It's not because of whether Liu Bei is right or wrong, it's just because he is a trial matchmaker.
"The point of no return." Xu You didn't know what to say. In fact, among the three people, Xu You and Xun Chen more or less agreed with Liu Bei. To be precise, most of the generals in the Central Plains actually agreed with Liu Bei to some extent.
I agree with Liu Bei, but I just can't do it.
"Let's do business. You could send someone to Rome to talk. There are also many anti-war forces in Rome. Let's communicate more with Pompianus, Herodian and others." Xun Chen didn't want to mention that matter, so he turned around.
And changed the topic.
Speaking of which, as a classical anti-Japanese era with rampant imperialism, it’s a wonder that many people in Rome are anti-war.
To be precise, if other people had resisted the war, they would have been defeated by Severus and others. But the leader of the anti-war was Pompianus, and Severus would have turned a blind eye. Do whatever you want.
Say, you can say whatever you like, anyway, just give me the money when I need it.
"I don't think those guys are really anti-war, they just think the cost is too high, but when it comes to the empire's own hidden dangers and financial issues, they will definitely choose to eliminate the former. After all, the latter seems to be useless under the current situation.
What a big problem." Xu You said unhappily.
This is the most unhappy thing about the Yuan family. Even though the Yuan family has money, it is difficult to exchange for supplies. However, Pompianus has a steady supply of supplies. This is too much.
"Economically, we are far behind Pompianus, and Pompianus is far behind Chen Zichuan." Xun Chen sighed and said, "But no matter how close they are, it would be really uncomfortable for us to be caught in this position.
.”
"Take a step and look at it. I always feel that in addition to helping Rome eliminate the barbarians and suppressing each other to temper the legions, there will probably be a big war." Xu You looked at Xun Chen and said, even if he has not experienced the previous war, just
Looking at the current situation, Xu You had the feeling that the Romans could not be trusted.
"Let's talk about something happy. In addition to bringing us a large population, the large and small families who have joined us have also brought us a lot of scholars. The problem of some official vacancies has been alleviated, and to a large extent, it has also brought us a lot of people.
The big and small families who have taken refuge in us are closer to us." Xun Chen said with a smile, this is very important and good news.
"I hate aristocratic families." After Xu You was silent for a while, he looked depressed. Xu You's family is not big or small, but being able to hang out with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was young is enough to illustrate the family power behind Xu You. However,
The higher he stood, the more he understood what a noble family was.
"What's your point of view when you say this?" Xun Chen asked softly.
"So I just talk about it, but don't dare to actually do it. So the higher I stand, the more I understand Chen Zichuan, and the more I admire that guy. He is really holding the banner of the family to fight against the family. Others are not only
I have no choice but to follow him. At least when he was rebelling against the Aristocratic Family, the Aristocratic Family's proportion of the main body of the country was getting smaller, but its own body was much stronger than before." Xu You had a helpless expression.
"Yes, even if they know that half of the opponent's wisdom is to deceive them, being deceived by Chen Zichuan is actually more effective than them racking their brains to develop." Xun Chen smiled bitterly, "The closer we are, the closer we are.
The more terrifying it becomes.”
"What a pity, he is not the same as us. When we hate the noble family, he probably hates us too." Xu You said with a smile, this world is such a cycle.
"At least in some aspects our interests are consistent. Otherwise, he would not indulge us in doing this. What he asks for accommodates all the desires of us people, so he is the most just and fair, but he is also the most fair.
The most unfair, the most unjust." Xun Chen echoed Xu You's words, and now they all see it clearly.
But what's the use of seeing it clearly? At this point, it's impossible for anyone to stand in front of Chen Xi and stop Chen Xi. Even if the major families know that Chen Xi is actually suppressing them, they are still happy to do so.
After all, Chen Xi's suppression of them also gave them the opportunity to break up the soil and divide the grass. The aristocratic family is also a human being, and they also need to eat!
