Chapter 695 In the name of God
Sima Ji felt that what he did was fine. Not only did he open a corner of the surviving Roman soldiers, but he was just taking care of them. Even the weapons and armor of the dead Roman soldiers were gathered up, allowing the soldiers to march with them. What was this all, what was Marcus thinking?
"I seem to thank you!" Marcus, who was blocked by a rag, glared at Sima Ji. The shameful invader was so embarrassed to ridicule him? Is there any mistake in his defense when an invader attacked Rome?
It's like a fight against Mien? Sima Ji looked at the other party who regarded him as an enemy and directly tore off his hypocritical face, and threatened him with a hint of threat, "If you have such an attitude, I will go to your Governor's Mansion and sleep with your wife first. If you have a daughter, you will sleep with your daughter, and you will kill your son. I have been cultivating my character for many days. Do you really think I can't move the butcher knife? Also, save some energy first and live. I may not be able to save Diocletian? "
"These uncivilized bastards always make me angry. I will be honest if I have to open my mouth and curse a few words." Sima Ji cursed and asked someone to take down Marcus, who was tied up in a large number of eight legions in Egypt, and now all seven legions have been destroyed. If it weren't for the seven eagle flags in his hands and nearly 20,000 prisoners, his greatest defeat since Crassu would have been for sure.
While marching, he used a tiny time to interrogate the prisoners. Because there were many prisoners, as long as he used some small means, he could always ask about the current situation in Egypt. Naturally, there was no need to mention the strategic position, because of the destruction of the Roman Legion of Egypt. Sima Ji was not strong enough to deal with the enemy now, and the only one Roman Legion that guarded his family was left was not in his eyes.
The first thing is to recover the cost. After all, the pension for soldiers who died in a battle just now must be obtained by someone. The territory of the Roman Empire is much richer than that of Persia, especially Diocletian's territory. The economic center of the Roman Empire had long turned to the East. Diocletian was just the first Augustus to admit this. Later, Constantine the Great officially built Constantinople and clarified this matter.
"The troops were divided into two groups. Murong Han took the four feudals and the army of servants to Cairo, and I went to Alexandria. After controlling these two cities, the whole of Egypt could be settled." Sima Ji told a sketch of Egypt that only Egypt was valuable along the Nile River, and the rest of the place had nothing but sand, even in later generations. There was oil under the sand in many Arab countries, and there was still sand under the sand in Egypt.
"Just conquering Cairo, other places are desolate and not worth the effort." Sima Ji also emphasized this point. Don't let Murong Han run too far, and added another sentence, "There are a group of black people in southern Egypt, so we should not have too much contact with them. Zhao Shen will go with you."
Sure enough, Murong Han suddenly looked like he lacked interest when he said this sentence. Sima Ji looked like I knew it. He remembered that when Murong Yun met the natives of Zhanzhou, he looked very despised the local dark skin. Sure enough, this is the family.
"Murong Han accepts the order!" Murong Han stretched out his hand and clasped his fists, then slapped his horse away from the army traveling west, mobilizing his troops to prepare for a step ahead.
Knowing that there were no powerful enemies ahead, Sima Ji instantly switched to Chang Gong's move forward like a tiger. He changed his slow marching speed before and urged the troops advancing westward, "Now we should go quickly. When we get to the place, we may not have to fight, we just need to harvest. If we slow down, we might organize a wave of resistance. This is the reason. Now we sweat a little, we will not have to bleeding. Tell the entire army to endure it, and we will not stop day and night. Let the Alexander first, and give it double when we share the money."
After learning of the King of Yan's military order, the morale of all troops was greatly boosted, especially the Jin army units that did not participate in the war. Sima Ji felt that this was actually a kind of quenching thirst.
"We must let Sima accompany the army record the glorious and majestic image of my king today. At that time, I will check it myself." Sima Ji ordered to the left and right with shameless words, "I won a few small battles since I traveled west, although it is not worth mentioning, but it can be considered as a move."
Although he was a little overly modest and even became hypocritical, Sima Ji was in a good mood. At least Lin Yi was able to take action than him to deal with the same level of empire, and he had always been his dream, and his intention was more than one step ahead.
Sima Ji led most of the troops to attack Alexandria, almost running and marching continuously. Before the news of the defeat of the Roman legion reached this point, he had already arrived at the place.
I thought it would be a sure win, but I didn't expect that the Roman residents here would not cooperate and would not welcome the King of Yan who came from afar. They even wanted to resist stubbornly?
This made Sima Ji very angry. He had already raised his butcher knife, but the other party didn't obediently stick out his head and let him chop it? This was simply outrageous.
"Send people to persuade me to surrender. I have 20,000 Roman prisoners in my hands. I surrender obediently. I promise not to massacre the city. If I don't cooperate, anything may happen. Everyone is civilized. Don't let me use barbarian means to do things. After all, I am not inferior to the Hu people in this regard, and I have no choice but to do it!" The robber in front of the safe threatened the security guards shamelessly.
Sima Ji not only did not feel that he was wrong, but was also quite reasonable. I won again by chance. What's wrong with all the winners? On the other hand, I directly dismounted the army and prepared the siege bombs to attack the city. Fortunately, I had some expectations for this and made complete preparations.
As a result, early the next morning, the soldiers of the Jin army captured a sneaky middle-aged man and reported to him layer by layer. In the end, the captured man was escorted to Sima Ji. Because this man claimed to be willing to serve the Jin army.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was ordinary and wrapped in a robe, Sima Ji didn't find anything special, and asked through the translator, "I came from afar and had no idea about this place. You actually said that you would help us outsiders break the city? Do you think I am very good at deceiving? I think it is feasible to kill you and sacrifice the flag..."
"King! The villain is absolutely willing to help you capture Alexandria!" The middle-aged man quickly knelt down tremblingly and said.
"Give me a reason. If you think someone suddenly appears to say this, how can I believe me?" Sima Ji reached out and put his finger on the cup. He felt that the temperature was right, so he slowly drank the boiling water, and looked at the person who came suspiciously.
"I am a Christian!" the middle-aged man spoke to Sima Ji through the translator.
Sima Ji slowly put down the cup and looked at the person with a strange expression. Is this the reason why the tutoring is not a country? Today I have seen that the gay church seems to be in a stage of suppression in this era.
