Since Ardashir couldn't make up his mind, Lu Xun helped him make up his mind.
Rome had little interest in this area, and Lu Xun knew it very well, but Rome was aware of the chaos in Central Asia and would definitely need to intervene in order to avoid affecting trade. Based on Lu Xun's judgment, Ganassis must have ordered Ardashir to make corrections.
However, Lu Xun clearly misjudged Rome's determination for silk and sugar, so when Lu Xun saw Ganassis reply that the Roman Seventh Legion had intervened, three legions in the eastern border counties were to maintain stability, and then determine whether to send more troops based on the situation.
The powerful army was a little confused.
If Lu Xun hadn't known very well that Rome had no territorial claims to the east of the Zagros Mountains, he would have been secretly planning how to fight Rome when he saw Rome's words.
After all, the strength of the Roman Empire was too strong. Even if it did have short legs and other problems, if it was ruthless, Central Asia combined would not be enough to defeat Rome alone.
Therefore, after Lu Xun was sure that Ganassis was not joking, he quickly sent someone to find out the situation. Originally, Lu Xun could not detect this matter, at least for now.
The veteran Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's current position in Rome is as follows: Senator of the Roman Senate, Prince of Armenia, Commander of the Seventh Eagle Banner Legion, and the highest military governor of the Media region.
Theoretically speaking, Ma Chao needs to stay in the trading city of Media. However, Ma Chao is a powerful boundary-breaker and has a divine horse. In addition, the area beyond Media is a Roman-controlled area. It is unlikely that Ma Chao will encounter the suppression of a large army.
So Ma Chao runs in both directions from Media to Rome.
Of course, this is a fake two-way race. Ma Chao Lai is in Rome and will not go to Media at all.
If other army commanders wanted to save face after being beaten by Virgilio, then Ma Chao belongs to him. I was beaten by you and you didn't let me hug the thigh of Caesar one more time.
With this idea in mind, Ma Chao and Virgilio began a half-year-long struggle.
"Your Majesty, I want to defeat these bastards of the Tenth Knight." Ma Chao was the first legion commander to speak out so bluntly in front of others, "You have to teach me! Virgilio is guarding you, I will do it."
It’s not an easy trip either, so you can’t favor one thing over another!”
Caesar drank black tea with honey and looked at Ma Chao with great emotion. After more than two hundred years, there was finally a legion commander who dared to say such a thing in front of a group of people.
Although in the next moment, Virgilio locked his neck with Virgilio with a kind smile, and then a group of soldiers of the Tenth Knight dragged Ma Chao out on the grounds that Ma Chao was disrespectful to Caesar, but Ma Chao said everything
The voice of the Legion.
What does the harmony of the Roman legion depend on? Of course it depends on the tenth!
Before the Tenth, there were conflicts of one kind or another between any two legions, but after the Tenth appeared, the conflicts between the other legions became internal conflicts between citizens, while all other legions and the Tenth Knight had conflicts.
This time it became a class conflict between citizens and knights.
Therefore, after Virgilio dragged Ma Chao away, he did not solve the problem. Ma Chao is a very perseverant and very shameless person. In Ma Chao's words, I have been beaten several times by you. The final goal
If you don't reach it, wouldn't it be a loss?
Coupled with Ma Chao's sincere desire, Caesar was very tempted.
Being unable to defeat the Tenth Knight was a normal situation in Caesar's opinion. In fact, Caesar felt that the Tenth Knight was very problematic. He was able to defy the will of the Roman Empire in the city of Rome. He was cursed for two hundred years, but he still managed to survive.
This picture looks abnormal no matter how you look at it.
In fact, Caesar himself knew very well that even if he tried his best to research and train, it was basically impossible to create such a powerful legion. To be rational, Caesar felt that he might not even be able to create the first assistant.
Although on the battlefield, if you push too hard and fight like crazy, you will definitely be able to produce top-notch strong soldiers, but there are many other reasons why they are so strong.
The level of the Praetorian Guard is the limit that top commanders like Caesar can control. Legions that have crossed this line have some other factors in it. Even if Caesar wants to do it, he needs to pay attention to the right time, place and people, and the Tenth Knight
, forget it, it’s a one-of-a-kind wonder.
After confirming that the Ninth Spain was suppressed by his own plan for two hundred years, Caesar knew that the Tenth Knight should be a unique talent that cannot be copied.
But the Roman Legion, except for Alessandro who was too lazy to deal with the Tenth Knight, and Luciano who basically didn't show up, the other legions felt that they didn't want to face the Tenth Knight.
This is very bad for Caesar. If a legion has the idea that the other party cannot defeat it, then unless the former's hard power far exceeds that of the latter, there is no hope of defeating the other party.
This aspect of Ma Chao seemed very good to Caesar. Even if he was dragged away by Virgilio several times, Ma Chao would never give up and dared to challenge the authority of the Tenth Knight.
Although Caesar doesn't like others to bother him, if a motivated legion leader comes to ask for advice, Caesar will not refuse. As for Virgilio's behavior of beating the opponent, Caesar has always been non-committal about this, treating it as a testing device.
.
Therefore, Ma Chao hugged Caesar's leg ten times. On the tenth time, Ma Chao finally learned Cao Zhang's skills without any teacher. He hugged Caesar's leg and refused to let go. No matter how hard Virgilio pulled him, Ma Chao refused to let go. In the Senate,
A super embarrassing scene was staged.
"Chao, if you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!" Virgilio didn't dare to use too much force. After all, the emperor was still sitting drinking tea. If Ma Chao, a bastard, didn't let go and used his own strength, he might be able to do it today.
Drag the emperor from the Senate seat.
If such a scene happened, where would the emperor's majesty remain?
"You just let go quickly. What does stubbornness mean? This means perseverance. I Chao do what he says and I have been beaten by you so many times. If I don't learn something, I will never be able to do it!" Ma Chao angrily told Weir.
Giglio confronts Caesar in front of him.
Caesar watched these two things playing around with interest. After drinking the tea, he said that starting from tomorrow, Ma Chao could learn from him.
Needless to say later, Caesar taught Ma Chao a lot of practical things, and Ma Chao had a lot of fantastic ideas. Well, these fantastic ideas mainly came from Han Xin, although Ma Chao heard a lot from Han Xin.
Among them, no nutrients were absorbed at all, but Caesar understood.
Every time Caesar saw Ma Chao's cute expression, he fell into self-doubt. Ma Chao, who had many fantastic ideas, was worse than Virgilio in terms of military talent.
However, Caesar finally crushed a lot of knowledge points for Ma Chao, so that Ma Chao could at least develop his own power combined with the power of the legion to the limit, reaching the starting level of a Roman single-digit legion, that is, the Praetorian Guard.
During this period, Ma Chao and Virgilio fought frequently, fighting almost every day. Every day, Ma Chao singled out Virgilio and many of his subordinates. Thanks to Ma Chao, he was a boundary breaker, otherwise he would not have been able to survive.
Under such a tragic reality, Virgilio finally agreed with Ma Chao.
"Chao, I agree with your love for the emperor. Come to our Tenth Knight to report tomorrow. It just so happens that our Tenth Knight is missing a camp leader." Virgilio looked at Ma Chao, his eyes filled with enthusiasm, because Ma Chao was so determined.
Virgilio's unswerving performance convinced Virgilio that if his hard skills are not enough to be practiced, and if his love is not perverted enough, how can he become a miracle!
Ma Chao said that he was a little confused. If he became the commander of the Tenth Knight's camp, then after Virgilio retired, he would be the stable commander of the army. As for Vincenzo, who was fighting in Eastern Europe, these two things would be regarded as each other.
It's the former camp leader.
But in the end, Ma Chao still refused. Ma Chao still had some human consciousness. Although he felt that he had no moral integrity, it did not mean that he was a pervert. Virgilio was really a pervert, and Ma Chao did not want to be infected by him.
Virgilio felt deeply sorry for this and took his younger brother to beat Ma Chao again.
Ma Chao has strange senses about Virgilio. On the one hand, he thinks that Virgilio is a pervert, but on the other hand, Ma Chao naturally respects the strong. Although Virgilio is a pervert, Virgilio is worthy of a powerful legion commander. With this kind of sense,
Next, even if he was beaten many times by the opponent, Ma Chao didn't feel any grudge.
Virgilio admires Ma Chao very much for this reason. It is not a joke to invite Ma Chao to join the Tenth Knights. Recruiting new members is also a very important task for the Tenth Knights.
After all, in order to find the perverted love for Caesar, in addition to recommending one's own family within the Tenth Knight, one also needs to absorb new and unique love.
In Virgilio's opinion, Ma Chao was a very unique absorbable person, but it was a pity that Ma Chao rejected this group of perverts.
After Pompianus messed up, Ma Chao was ordered to go to Media. After all, the official headquarters of the Seventh Loyalist was Media. Ma Chao himself always stayed in Rome, and he only arrived when there was nothing wrong in the past.
, for such a big thing this time, Ma Chao must go and see it in person.
Pompianus' blame cannot be made public, but members of the Senate listened to Pompianus' statement. It was precisely because of this undisguised statement that Rome was so fast and efficient. As a senator, Ma Chao naturally also
Listened to the entire presentation.
Because of this, Lu Xun knew how much fun Rome was having. Three million citizens might not get anything or get a refund after paying money. There were only six million citizens in Rome, and half of them were offended.
, this government in Rome is afraid that it will fall.
After understanding this, Lu Xun did not dare to delay. The war between the Central Asian bandits and the aristocratic families could be put aside for now. Anyway, these people could not tell the difference for a while, and besides, these people were always talking nonsense.
The back leg, it seems, will not die in the short term. Let’s solve the imperial trade problem first.
