"King Yan, we have just entered Egypt, and someone came to the door. Is there something strange about it?" After the Christian left, Tang Qiang said with some doubts, "Can you set a trap waiting for us?"

"From a common sense analysis, you are right!" Sima Ji nodded, "In fact, I am just trying. If it is really possible, if it is fake, aren't we going to attack the city? It's just based on the original plan. Christians in the Roman Empire have been suppressed by the imperial emperor for a long time. These believers have long been suppressed by the imperial emperors. They are very indifferent to the loyalty to the country and attach great importance to the interests of their own sects. They don't have to look at me like this, believers, especially religions similar to the Monotheistic religion, are the same."

"It's simply a natural rebellion!" Zhou Rong blurted out, "If religion and country conflict, can they still betray their own country?"

"If Christians really help us this time, I believe you will have the answer right away." Sima Ji's heart moved. Isn't this a good opportunity to teach? What a good platform for his students to have a deep understanding of religion and broaden their horizons is the important purpose of his coming out this time.

If they can realize the threat of religion to the court, they will be in the future. This is definitely a good thing for the Jin Dynasty. It is impossible to be hostile to religion and let the emperor do it. It is too easy for a person to make mistakes. If the entire court is vigilant about religion, it will be much easier.

The reason for this situation was that Sima Ji believed that this was inseparable from the suppression of Christianity by Roman emperors of all generations. So far, the belief in the Roman Empire is still polytheistic.

The worship ceremony is based on the family, and parents preside over the sacrifice. Each family worships its own statues and sacrifices to the dead of ancestors. Public sacrifices are presided over by local officials and assisted by priests. The worship ceremony includes prayer, swearing, dancing, running, games, etc. The most important thing is sacrifice, which is different in style. During war, the army commander presided over the ceremony and held a special sacrifice.

After the victory of the war, the emperor would lead his army to the Temple of the Pitt Hills of Gapido and offer the best spoils. During the Empire, priests at all levels and some priests were established in the state power, and the emperor was the head of the priests in the country. There was a special academy to train priests. There were also full-time priestesses, who were specially selected by the emperor for life and served the country's flame goddess Vista.

There are already a large number of Christians in the Roman Empire, but they are still under suppression. Emperors of all generations have discriminated against Christians, but the degree of suppression is quite obvious in Diocletian's generation.

Isn't it a coincidence that Sima Ji came, at this time, the Roman Empire carried out the last and greatest persecution of Christians. In the early period of Diocletian's reign, his deputy, Caesar Galerius, was the main figure in inciting him to persecute Christians. Diocletian was not very eager to persecute Christians in comparison. However, in the late period of Diocletian's reign, Diocletian became a monarch who was eager to persecute Christians and issued the first decree to persecute Christians.

First, Christian soldiers need to leave the army, and then the private property of the Christian church was confiscated and Christian books were burned, which was the Roman version of the book burning and burying scholars. After the palace of Diocletian was set on fire twice, he took tougher measures against Christians: Christians either gave up their faith or were executed.

Until now, the son of Caesar, the Western Roman Empire, and the Great, who is still dormant in the Roman Empire, came to power, the Christian persecution movement ended and achieved equal status. But now? Christians in the Roman Empire should have been the most tragic moment in hundreds of years.

However, Sima Ji not only did not sympathize with the fate of Christians, but instead wanted to laugh. The King of Yan respects all religions so much, treats all religions equally, and is a attitude that should be suppressed. From the heart, Sima Ji strongly agreed with Diocletian's approach. If the two sides had the opportunity to meet, the King of Yan was also preparing to spread a historical event called the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Diocletian.

Christians in Egypt now obviously have Diocletian's attitude, and once Diocletian abdicated, Caesar Galerius would become the Augustus of the East. These two reasons made Eastern Christians unable to see hope. Therefore, they took the risk and saw a strange army killing the power of the Roman Empire in Egypt, and wanted to take the opportunity to do something.

Sima Ji was happy to go with the flow, because he really wanted to control Alexandria at present. However, he would leave sooner or later, and he was not prepared to establish a country in Egypt.

"Isn't it unfair to have something to do with the rain and dew, even the Arabs beat them up, and Isn't it unfair to not stumbling against the other?" Sima Ji had decided to do something to Christians. Anyway, the other party has been persecuted, so rebellion is reasonable. Of course, Diocletian's suppression is also reasonable, and each has its own reasons.

However, as a comrade-in-arms of the ruling class in all countries in the world, King Yan naturally had to stand on the side of order in the end. Not to mention that he was an atheist and had no good impression of any religion.

"What do you think the ordnance that I have collected the Roman legion will be left with Christians at that time?" Sima Ji looked at the two confidants beside Changban and expressed his thoughts with great amusement. "If we leave then, the Christians will have a bloody battle with Diocletian, and of course the outcome should not be too good."

"The King of Yan made a decision, we have no objection." Tang Qiang and Zhou Rong spoke at the same time. This was the business of the Roman Empire. However, it seemed that the King of Yan was preparing to provoke civil strife in Rome.

This cannot be blamed on Sima Ji. He really came over to talk about friendship with Diocletian and met consumers as a producer. It was your own internal rebellion who came to you.

People take the initiative to surrender to the city, can't Sima Ji refuse? Let's see what the final result is. The preparations for the siege are still in progress. Regardless of whether the Christian is sincere or not, his preparations cannot be stopped. The King of Yan has always been trying to win over the Allies to fight together, but in terms of preparations, they always use independent combat as a preparation. It is best to have allies, but if they don't join me, I will do things by myself.

The residents of Alexandria never dreamed that the first attack was not from the Jin army outside the city, but the Christians hiding beside them. Of course, they could not imagine that Christians had concealed their faith because they saved their lives.

These Christians who were hidden among the crowd and even ignored the executioners, showed their fangs for the first time in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As if they wanted to vent all the anger that the Roman legion suppressed themselves, the Christians who were in charge of the late night attacked fiercely and bloody.

The entire city of Alexandria was filled with shouts of killing, and the Roman army in the city immediately began to suppress it when they heard the news. Now that the enemy is in front of them, the fate will be destined to be tragic.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!" Although the rebel Christians looked nervous, they all roared in anger in the face of this scene. The Roman legion, which had always been pressing against their hearts like a huge rock, was at the weakest stage of their lives. If they could not control their destiny at this time, then they would miss the opportunity and would not be able to control their destiny in the future.

But a Roman soldier was killed, and the Roman soldier behind immediately filled in, blocked the spear stabbed by the Christians with a shield, and stabbed the Christians through the gap. The Christians were pierced in the chest, screamed, fell to the sky, and another soldier immediately filled in, roared, and smashed the Romans with a single hammer in his hand...

Behind these Roman soldiers was the city wall, standing seven or eight fierce Roman soldiers, wearing iron armor, holding spears in their hands, and their faces were as ferocious as wild beasts, so they did not allow these Christians to control the city gate.

These Christians who usually don’t know where dormant seem to be suddenly radiating the fanaticism in their hearts by religion. The Roman soldiers who usually dare not look at them can no longer be the ones that stop them. Both sides are trapped in a desperate battle, and people are constantly falling to the ground at every moment.

As for Sima Ji who was leading the army to attack the city, it was not that he was deliberately trying to consume the other party. The King of Yan swore to the sand that he had absolutely no intention, but was just controlling nearby towns. You should know that Alexander was actually a harbor and there were quite a few nearby towns. As a heavenly soldier of the country, I always had to write a notice from Zhang Anmin. Even if this was just a psychological effect, how could it be the same as the rebellion of rebellion?

Sima Ji didn't know about the situation in Alexandria, but he wouldn't be surprised if he knew it. After all, for any country, civil war must be done. People who kill their own talents are truly without any scruples. Although it is not nice to say it, it is the truth.

When the army began to attack the city, countless sulphur bombs were ignited, drawing beautiful arcs to push the atmosphere in the city to a new stage. The sound of shocking drums accompanied by the charge of the Jin army, and Alexander's time in the hands of the Romans had entered the countdown.

The two sides who were fighting on the city wall were in a state of great excitement and shouted wildly, their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed to the Roman soldiers around them, causing the Roman soldiers to fall into chaos. Christians seized the opportunity. In a short period of time, many Christians rushed to the city from the inside, and the city was suddenly filled with danger and the city was inevitably lost.

When the Jin army soldiers appeared outside, the entire city of Alexandria had quietly changed its owner. This most important port city in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea has become Sima Ji's latest spoil.
