Galerius looked at the messenger who was neither humble nor arrogant in a cold manner and said strangely, "You orientals are very strange. It seems that I am surrounding you now, not the other way around?"

"Caesar led his troops to fight for many years. He should know that Alexandria cannot be surrounded. Caesar may want to explain that Alexandria is just an isolated city, but our King Yan had already said before I came that there were very few cities in Egypt and the land was endless yellow sand. In this case, if we occupy Alexandria, it would be similar to occupying the entire Egypt." The messenger smiled slightly, and did not care about Galerius's questioning, and said softly, "Caesar is a general with rich combat experience, but we are different from your previous enemies. Our Jin people rely on their strength to do not bully the weak, but it does not mean that we are weaker than anyone else. As long as we make up our minds, we can turn the entire Eastern region into a scorched earth. In this way, no matter whether we win or lose, the price paid by Rome is far greater than ours. If you and I fight to the death, the enemy of Rome is the happiest thing."

"Egypt is not the territory of my Great Jin Dynasty. We don't feel sorry for destroying us. However, Egypt is a very important province for Rome. Caesar must be cautious. God has the virtue of living. We are not the Germanic tribe in the north of Rome, and we are not interested in looting Rome."

"You also know the Germans, and they know a lot." Galerius's face was gloomy. If the Jin army came from thousands of miles east of the Persian Empire, how could they be so clear about the environment around the Roman Empire? Have you opened your eyes?

Or did the captured Roman legion soldiers tell all the internal and external situations of the Roman Empire?

But the local Roman legion soldiers in Egypt could not have known the situation in the northern border so much. Just a few words made Galerius feel that the enemy commander in the city was almost like him, born in Illyria.

"We, King Yan, learn from the strengths of the families and have a certain understanding of almost anything. The country is frivolous, the four emperors rule together, the Germans in the north sometimes surrender and rebel, and the influence of Christians in the country is getting bigger and bigger. Why did Caesar use the precious troops in his hands to fight us?" The messenger said with confidence, "The reason why Caesar recruited the Germans should be the idea of ​​using the Germans to consume Christians. I wonder if this is the case?"

"I hate talking nonsense!" Galerius's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he slapped the table, feeling like he was angry and embarrassed by being exposed.

"I don't know whether it is avoidable. The King of Yan wrote a letter to Caesar, but no one in Caesar's barracks should understand our words, and I can read it for my own sake." The messenger was not afraid at all. In front of Galerius, the Roman guards took out a piece of paper and read it with a sting of the knife in front of Galerius.

Around the messenger, there were translations selected from more than 20,000 Roman prisoners of war, and told Galerius, "Dear Caesar, if I don't come, I believe you have already succeeded Diocletian as your wish and became the Augustus of Rome. When I was still in the East, I knew that there were great powers in the West and that civilization was not under the Great Jin Dynasty, but there was a barrier between the Persians and they had never been able to meet each other."

"I haven't been in Rome for a long time, but I don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Roman legion. It's not easy to destroy the Roman legion in Egypt before. The Jin army will not stay here for a long time on the expedition. If Rome is willing to sit down and talk, it will be a good thing for both of us. I am willing to talk to you, but it does not mean that I am afraid of you, on the contrary, it is a kind of respect."

The envoy said a word and asked the Roman translation to translate it. It began to talk about the Great Jin Empire ten years ago. The internal gentry restrained the imperial power and the Hu people moved to the scene, and there were even more powerful chaos outside the Great Wall.

Galerius did not listen carefully until the situation of the Great Jin Empire mentioned in the letter. After hearing a few sentences, he suddenly pricked up his ears. Why did he feel like he is now in the Roman Empire?

The Hu people who moved inwardly were replaced by Christians, the gentry was replaced by Roman Senate, and the Xianbei outside the Great Wall was replaced by Germans. It was definitely the current Roman Empire.

"Several years ago, the situation had reached an inevitable point. A total of several princes in the royal family raised troops to fight. I was the last winner of this round of melee, and my ally was the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall. Recently, I saw Caesar leading the Germans across the sea. We were in similar positions and made consistent considerations."

"But Rome is different from my Great Jin. I have only one emperor. Even if I have already dominated the world, I can only respect the emperor's authority. This is different from Caesar, you have the opportunity to be Augustus. But the road ahead is not smooth. In the melee of the kings a few years ago, we are still descendants of the family, and it has caused millions of casualties to the empire. The current consuls in Rome are not as close as our country. As long as Diocletian abdicates, the civil war will break out sooner or later."

"Now I can choose one Caesar to fight to the death and have a great confidence to win. I wonder if you, Caesar? Or Constantius, who confronted my servants in the west? I believe that the other one after I chose, the entire Roman Empire, who would undoubtedly be Anthony and Octavian, is your choice."

"I actually don't want to fight with the Roman Empire to the death. I recently gave silk to the city of Rome. I believe Caesar has seen it. My army has carried a lot of silk. I heard that the Romans couldn't put it down. I actually came with the original intention of doing business, and the offer was definitely much cheaper than that of the Persians."

"At this point, we have to fight and send the envoy back. We Romans are also civilized people and will not do despicable things." Galerius ordered to the left and right with a frosty face, "Make sure he returns to Alexandria safely to report."

That night, Galerius had not slept for a long time and tossed and turned in his military tent. He was thinking about what Sima Ji said in his letter, and he had to say that the difficulties faced by the Eastern Empire were all the pain points of the current Roman Empire. The battle between the kings of the Eastern Empire, with millions of casualties, was enough to make him look at it.

If nothing unexpected happens, this enemy army will be the last winner of the Eastern Empire. Now it is coming all the way, and its combat power will definitely be extremely strong. The destruction of the Roman legion of Egypt is proof of it.

What really made Galerius hesitate was that, as the other party's army commander said in the letter, the other party can choose to fight to the death with himself or to fight to the death with Constantius. No matter what the final result is, the other one will be Augustus, who will be the undisputed Roman Empire in the future.

"Octavian, Anthony!" Galerius murmured to himself. The completely different fates of these two people made him frown. The Eastern Empire is a family of brothers, and he still wants to live and die? Can the four emperors of Rome really maintain the co-governance of? As a supporter of Diocletian and the supporter of the co-governance of the four emperors, Galerius fell into suspicion for the first time.

In Alexandria, Sima Ji listened to the messenger's return report, interrupted and asked Galerius's reaction from time to time, and finally comforted him with a smile, "Don't blame yourself just because the other party has no guarantee. Is this a naive person? Everything must be backed by the army. Even if he does not agree, the final result will be made to him. Besides, he just doesn't express his opinion, and wait for the Romans to attack the city."
