Chapter 156 to be as smart as us

In the streets and alleys of Rome, people are talking about something,

“I heard that three of the 300,000 people on the front line were defeated by the Chinese, and three cities were lost!”

“How is this possible? This time the Senate has already said it, but there are five elite legions!”

“No amount of elite legions are useless. Those Huaxia people are blessed by gods, and gods have given them flying weapons! And thunder! These are what my nephew said! He escaped from there!”

“What! This, this…”

Countless rumors spread freely in the city of Rome, and many people heard the name of Huaxia for the first time.

I just knew that there is a country in the far east that can provide silk and porcelain,

No one really cares, because Rome itself is the most powerful country,

Other places can only serve them.

But now, they heard that the most proud of Rome’s elite army was beaten and defeated within three days.

They simply cannot imagine.

At this time, the Roman Senate, which used to be very lively in the past, was silent.

The Roman consul stood at the highest point and looked at the elders at the scene, and said coldly,

“It’s been almost a month, hasn’t anyone figured out any way?”

Of course, they had received the news long ago, but their first reaction was to block the news, and then leave the defeated soldiers on the other side of the sea.

Prepare again and build a new defensive front.

Fortunately, they did not continue to attack in the following period of time.

It’s just that now, after so long, the news can no longer be concealed.

They must come up with a way to deal with it, otherwise, the glory and confidence that Rome has built up over the years will be destroyed!

I just heard the consul’s question, but no one answered aloud,

Of course, they knew the details. The five elite legions plus the auxiliary legion amounted to nearly 300,000 troops!

It can be said that Rome has concentrated the most troops in the past few years!

In their opinion, even if the other party had a weapon like Tianlei before,

That will only cause some trouble to them, and even a temporary failure is acceptable.

Rome’s battle to conquer the known world was not all smooth sailing, either.

They can afford to lose, but they will win in the end!

But this time, the development of things completely exceeded their expectations.

An army of 300,000 people, three cities, was officially defeated for three days, and was directly defeated by the Chinese people.

When they first heard it, they thought it was the wrong news.

It should be the collapse of the Huaxia people.

But after more and more news came back, everyone was shocked and speechless,

It was quieter then than it is now.

Even after so long, they didn’t think of any way to deal with it.

In the end, an old veteran returned with a sigh,

“Consul, why don’t we vote… for peace.”

Hearing this, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they all thought so, and it was enough for someone to say it.

Because negotiating peace is their only way out.

The consul said coldly at this time,

“What conditions do we have to make the agreement reconciled?”

Negotiation also requires qualifications. When they conquered the known world,

Those barbarians also thought about making peace with them, but how could they agree?

The same is true now, except that Rome has become the place of the barbarians.

The old elder went on to say at this time,

“We’ll just agree to everything they ask.”

Hearing this, other people’s expressions suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Of course, this is not a negotiation, but a surrender!

A real disgrace to the country!

It is to be reviled for thousands of years!

Especially when Rome was so brilliant not so long ago, such a difference was unacceptable to the citizens of Rome,

It is difficult for them to accept it at this time.

Otherwise, it will not be delayed until now, and a unified opinion has not yet been reached.

But they also know that this is the last resort.

The Roman consul said with a bit of sadness,

“You all think so too?”

In fact, he was not afraid of failure, and the process of Rome’s rise was not smooth.

Just look at the war with Carthage at the beginning, and the army was about to be invaded by the Roman city and took the old nest.

But so what, the final victory belongs to Rome!

But this time he could feel that the crest of Rome was broken.

These people have lost the courage to resist.

The old elder stood up at this time and said,

“Don’t blame them, Rome has no way to resist now!”

“They have weapons that fly in the air, and those sky thunders that are more powerful than thunder!”

“It’s not something that just courage can resist.”

Others nodded again and again, and these are indeed not something that only courage can resist.

The surrender was not their fault either.

But who knows, before the voice of the old senator fell, the Roman consul said angrily,

“Those Huaxia people do have weapons that can fly, like thunder-like thunder!”

“But definitely not irresistible!”

“They mainly attack the big city, we will go to the small city, they will destroy the city, and we will go to the wild!”

“Their thunder is so powerful, we will disperse!”

“Even if they hit Rome, we can even give up Rome, as long as the Romans are there! We must rebuild one day!”

“Just think, how many people can their expedition force have? How many people in Rome!”

“As long as we resist! They must not last long!”

“Victory, in the end, belongs to Rome!”

These days, he has also been studying the other party’s news and thinking about countermeasures.

I also found those, the Chinese people are not irresistible, the number of the other party is small, and it is a long-distance expedition,

It is absolutely impossible to conquer Rome!

As long as Rome has the determination to resist!

With courage and wisdom, we will definitely be able to resist Huaxia’s attack!

Just in the face of the roaring filial encouragement speech of the Roman consul, the Roman elders did not respond to each other as before,

Instead, they whispered,

“My manor is on the east side. What will happen to my family if I give up there?”

“That’s right, although my manor is in the west, if I resist there, how can I make money from farming?”

“It’s better to negotiate. He just said one thing, but there are few Chinese people. They have occupied enough places and won’t ask for too much.”

“Indeed, the three cities in the east have been handed over to them, so it’s better to keep the status quo.”

Of course not everyone chose to surrender, but the voices of the few who were willing to resist were quickly drowned out.

Listening to the noisy discussions in the Senate, the heart of the Roman consul slowly sank.

He didn’t expect that these people were actually cowardly to this point,

So he said coldly,

“You don’t even have the courage to resist? Are you still Romans!”

In the face of the consul’s ridicule, the elders did not answer,

Courage and honor, where is your wealth and family important?

The Roman consul took a deep breath at this time and said in one breath,

“As long as I’m here, Rome, it’s impossible to surrender!”

“Pass my order…”

It’s just that before he finished speaking, an elder stood up and interrupted him and said,

“Your Excellency Archon, I think you are no longer suitable for this position!”

“I’m voting now, and I hope you will resign from the position of the consul. Now I think this Your Excellency is more suitable than you!”

As he spoke, he pointed to the old elder who stood up just now,

The other party took the initiative to take the blame, which is a good choice for them.

Seeing this scene, the other elders also returned one after another.

“I agree!”

“Agree!”

“Let’s vote!”

Soon, when the consul barely recovered, a new consul was born in the Senate!

The original consul said almost tremblingly,

“This is betrayal!”

The elder who stood up nodded and said,

“This is indeed a betrayal! You betrayed us all!”

“Now that you are no longer a consul, please give your seat to our new consul at once.”

Looking at this scene like a child’s play in front of me,

The original consul opened his mouth, but said nothing.

The Roman Senate was actually a union of nobles, who used votes to conduct elections.

It seems perfectly fair.

But in fact, it is a comparison of financial resources and military. Whoever is stronger can become the consul.

And now he touched the interests of most of the elders,

It was also abandoned.

Even if he resists, it is impossible for him to fight against most of the nobles.

In the end he could only say angrily,

“Coward! Coward!”

It’s just words like this, it doesn’t hurt the other elders.

They usually scold more than this.

The old new consul, with a complicated look, came to the front at this time,

He can actually understand the original consul’s thoughts, but surrendering now is indeed the best way out for Rome.

He also knew that he would definitely be reviled by future generations, he sighed slightly, and quickly said,

“Then contact the Huaxia people as soon as possible and prepare for peace talks.”

The other elders all nodded and voted, and this resolution was passed quickly.

At this moment, a Roman sexist walked in in a hurry and announced loudly,

“A letter from the Chinese messenger!”

Suddenly the entire nursing home was quiet, and then everyone looked at the new consul.

At this time, the consul took the letter from the messenger steadily,

After opening it, they found that it was their own writing.

Looks like someone wrote this for them,

So looking at the letter, he said slowly,

“The Huaxia people demanded that we open a business road and let us trade directly with them.”

“We have to send people to communicate with us, we can’t stop it.”

“Let us be responsible for the loss of their army this time, and recognize the land they occupied.”

“That’s what they’re asking for temporarily.”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a while, and soon, an elder said with a bit of disbelief,

“That’s all?”

Others are also a little puzzled, because these conditions are too loose!

There is absolutely no problem in opening a business channel. They originally wanted to trade directly with each other. When there were middlemen before, they had to pay more money.

As for communication, then there is no problem. The other party is so powerful, how could they not be willing?

And those lands, apart from the three cities they lost, had no other losses at all.

Lose it and lose it.

It’s not a big problem with the money for compensation, and it’s just a matter of everyone joining together.

What makes them uncomfortable is that the other party almost broke down in their hearts because of this matter!

You want these things, show those weapons at the time, and say it sooner!

Isn’t it over for you!

As for how it is now! ?

For a time, the elders felt a little aggrieved.

At this time, only the original consul was frowning tightly, and he always felt that there was a lot of wrong in it.

But can’t tell.

It’s just that no one cares about his thoughts now, and others have agreed to these conditions almost at a very fast speed.

Then have people reply!

As for now, why are Chinese people able to communicate with them so smoothly?

They actually knew about Hannibal’s betrayal,

Originally, there was still the intention of revenge on the other party,

But now, Hannibal is already from China, and revenge on the other party will only anger China,

All of them directly and selectively ignored each other.

Soon, the messenger left here quickly with a reply, heading towards Huaxia.

A few days later, the three cities of Rome had already been replaced with the flags of various countries in China.

In the main city, Qin Jun is busy, they are going to go back,

At this time, in the original city lord’s mansion, Han Xin was with Zhao Hao with a smile on his face? talking,

“His Royal Highness, now that this side is stable, we can go back only after the reply from Rome and the rules are set.”

Zhao Hao was still a little reluctant. This time he came out by himself, but he didn’t do anything big like his father did.

Can only nodded listlessly, but quickly thought of something and asked,

“General Han, we gave this main city to Hannibal, and the other two cities were given to Dahan and Dachu respectively, but brother Ying Li didn’t get them, so there won’t be any problems.”

Their allocation has also been completed, and the main city of Hannibal is to leave a nail,

But Ying Li will suffer some grievances.

Han Xin returned with a smile at this time,

“His Royal Highness Ying Li is also a royal family. It will be no problem to make some sacrifices for Da Qin, and he has no objection.”

Zhao Hao just nodded and was about to say something when a messenger hurriedly walked in and said,

“Your Highness, General, the Romans replied.”

Soon the translation will tell all the news,

The Romans fully complied with their demands.

Neither of them were surprised by this result. Their request did not seem excessive, and the other party would definitely agree.

Even Han Xin himself felt that these requirements were too loose.

It’s just that this matter was ordered by His Majesty a long time ago, so he naturally won’t interfere much.

Zhao Hao was full of smiles at this time. He was all too familiar with these conditions.

Dad often taught him to use these methods, and now he can try it himself, so he said with a smile,

“Since they have agreed to communicate, let our caravan bring a word in.”

“Let’s just say that their defeat this time is because their words are too simple, so they are not as smart as us.”

“Only by learning our writing and language can we be as smart as we are.”

Hearing this, Han Xin showed a puzzled look.
