Chapter 716 The customer is God

"Our army captured nearly 50,000 Romans and Germans, and the light cavalry had stopped to repay Galerius. But I don't know if he would surrender." Zhou Rong strode and stood behind Sima Ji and whispered, "King Yan, I don't know what will happen next."

"He is Caesar of the Roman Empire. Don't say whether to surrender or not, it is called taking into account the overall situation. Love the soldiers and think about the people." Sima Ji raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and started running the train lane, "We have suffered heavy losses this time, by the way, how many casualties?"

"Because we refused to defend the city, our army's casualties totaled less than 3,000." Zhou Rong was stunned for a moment and didn't know what the King of Yan meant, so he replied strangely.

"Our army was killed 30,000. Isn't this a pound of 40,000?" Sima Ji nodded, and casually changed two words in the report to whitewash the peace for the Roman Empire. He changed the subject and said, "The most urgent task now is to have equal benefits. Galerius was defeated. Isn't there another Caesar? Tell Murong Han not to advance and retreat again. He brought 20,000 troops to clean up the other Caesar."

Everything has its own balance. The King of Yan is not a person who kills and kills, and then slapps his butt and leaves. Although killing is the basic way to fight, the opponents are different, and the strategy needs to be adjusted. If you catch Galerius and beat him up, regardless of Constantius, this balance will be lost in the Roman Empire.

The King of Yan Jing Luo thoughts, all for the good future of the Roman Empire. In addition, Galerius' attitude towards Christians is particularly towards his appetite. With mutual appreciation, Galerius' defeat cannot be made so prominent. If both Caesars were defeated, this would be balanced.

Christians? What, Sima Ji did not distinguish between these religious elements at all. It is okay to use it, how could he really support them? Materialists and idealists are not the same type of people. However, if you deal with Christian affairs, you have to solve them by the people of the Roman Empire.

At least now, as long as the Roman Empire exists for one day, Christians open their doors to meet the enemy and stabbing the Roman legion will never be emptied. Therefore, he does not want to weaken the Roman Empire too much. Besides, his original intention of traveling west was to come with kindness. If the Persians and Romans were not malicious and always blocked the way, they would not have to have to solve the problem on the battlefield.

"Thirty thousand?" Zhou Rong instantly petrified. If he had said some methods of getting a job for nothing, he had learned from Yanshan Daying. However, the King of Yan didn't seem to have to do this, why did he falsely report his losses?

"We have won, and we don't need these false reputations to increase morale. On the contrary, the Romans need to save face. I am happy to give them a favor." Sima Ji looked at Zhou Rong's puzzled expression and said with a serious expression, "From the moment we entered Egypt, we have already won half of our victory. Our territory was stepped on by the army of other forces. Whether the final counterattack was won or not, it was unreasonable. The victory of the counterattack can only be regarded as a sum, not a victory. Of course, if the barbarians in the country rebelled, that would be another problem."

Once the defensive counterattack collapses, the consequences will be very serious, so the Central Plains dynasty actually have a difference in quality. The Han and Tang dynasties took the initiative to attack, which was one level higher than the later dynasties. The general direction of defense is wrong when closing the door and living a life. Ming, who was behind the Song and Tumu Fort, was not advisable to be conservative.

But the idol of King Yan, like the Emperor, was divided into 24 groups of millions of troops. That kind of operation was indeed too much. Not to mention the foundation was very good, but it was also good. There was no need to fight for the purpose of sending troops to fight for the purpose of sprinting.

"I entered the city and waited for the guests to arrive. Our own soldiers would have to bring their ashes back. As for the enemy's corpses, throw them into the river. The temperature is too high, so don't have any disease." Sima Ji turned around and waved, "The weather in this ghost place is getting hotter and hotter."

Sima Ji thought that the temple was a good place to escape the summer heat. The basic function of architecture was that the larger the building, the better the heat relief effect. King Yan felt that the reason why Western religions originated from the desert environment of the West Asia region was related to the local temperature. When it was so hot in summer that they could not stand it, they gathered together to find a place to escape the summer heat and brag every day.

Fortunately, this temple is solemn and grand. Of course, in the eyes of Sima Ji, who has no artistic cells, the word solemn and grand is only important. After brewing a cup of herbal tea, Sima Ji was concentrating on waiting for Galerius's arrival, and the waiting time was not long.

After Galerius and Sima Ji met, they watched each other for a long time. In Sima Ji's eyes, Caesar was just an ordinary old man, but he was not like this in Galerius' eyes. He was too young and was commanding the army to expedition at this age? Galerius naturally didn't know that Sima Ji had come to this day based on his background. He had become a poor family in the Jin Dynasty and reached the stage of a sixth-rank official. At this age, he was already a genius.

"For the first time we met, respected Caesar. We have been fighting for many days, and this is the first time we met. I admire Caesar's name very much. You have made great contributions to breaking the Persian Empire back then, which is impressive." Sima Ji's tone was very serious. Everyone knew that the King of Yan had always respected his opponents. The Thousand Miles of Passing the Head is also a kind of respect, and most people do not have this qualification.

"I'm just a loser now!" A bitter smile appeared on Galerius's face, but he did not refuse to push the herbal tea in front of him. Anyway, he had already reached this point. Are you still afraid that the other party would poison it?

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Moreover, for you Roman Persians, it seems that the life you have left will have a chance to make a comeback. What a big deal? If our country is in the past, it would be necessary to commit suicide. As for the previous dynasty, there would be a whole family to be killed." Sima Ji calmly spread salt in Galerius's heart. "Now the surrendered soldiers in my hands are enough to have ten Roman legions. This is not a battle that has not ended in the west, and this number may increase. Caesar's ability to stop the soldiers' lives is very admirable, and I would not have done it."

"Your honesty is simply scary." Galerius looked at Sima Ji deeply. How could someone like this be willing to fight for it?

"It depends on what it means. The same honesty is called true nature, and ordinary people are called incompetence and fury. This is different. Caesar was born as a civilian and should also know the appearance of the Roman Senate. Don't misunderstand it. My hometown is thousands of miles away from here, but you can take it in and guess it." Sima Ji said a little unbearable when he saw Galerius when he saw him, "I have come into contact with many people in that class before, but now? There are not many such people in China, and they are all following my opponents."

"Back to the point, I did not come with malice, and the words in the letter are true. But from your perspective, it is not wrong to prevent strange troops from entering your own territory." Sima Ji, who once again showed frankness in front of Galerius, took a sip of herbal tea, "The current Roman Empire is very similar to the Great Jin Dynasty ten years ago. After Diocletian abdicated, or as soon as he died, I feel that the civil war in the Roman Empire would break out."

"Don't deny this. As long as someone destroys Diocletian's arrangement, others will flock to it. Maybe as Diocletian's subordinate, adopted son, and the trained Caesar will maintain the common rule of the four emperors, but can you guarantee that you will be like this? You are not young, right?"

Sima Ji seized Galerius's heart pain points and kept attacking. Regardless of the other party's reaction, he went from the Roman frontier to the domestic Christians, and then to the Senate, and finally mentioned the four emperors' co-governance. One thing and one thing analysis showed that the Roman Empire was not as good as Galerius thought.

This is how things were. Sima Ji dared not say that the ancient Central Plains dynasty was leading the world for hundreds or thousands of years, but the first camp never ran away, and all dynasties were in the first camp. Even now, the Jin Dynasty before the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Wei Kingdom before it were also no less than Roman and Persia.

This comparison does not mean how strong one is, but how weak the opponent is. The crisis of the third century in the Roman Empire, and the rebellions in the Persian Empire broke out one after another, so it was difficult to compare the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Eastern Han Dynasty happened to be during the Five Sages of Rome, and the eunuchs and relatives of the Eastern Han Dynasty were having fun fighting with each other.

"Whether it is Christians, Germanic, or the four emperors are in charge of the rule, the army needs to be solved. I am not brave enough to win. Now I have 50,000 surrendered troops from the Roman legion. If German captives are included, there will be more." Sima Ji lowered his voice, "Caiser, we are not enemies. You should know that silk originated in our country. You Romans like this kind of thing, and we can provide it. We are thousands of miles apart and do not threaten each other. We should be natural partners."

"I don't know what you are going to do. Anyway, I'm just a prisoner now and I can't seem to make a decision." Galerius couldn't understand what Sima Ji's gourd was selling, but it seemed that the commander of the Jin army did not mean to humiliate himself.

"I never think that Caesar was a prisoner, just like I blackmailed the other party without defeating Persia. I even did not have to redeem the tradition of Rome again. Although I was a winner, I did not need this. We can talk about this more fairly. For example, I can sell you silk, and you can pay for it. As for the captured Roman soldiers, they can be used as gifts. If you say this, you will not lose the face of the Roman Empire, isn't that great?"

"Hmm?" Galerius nodded expressionlessly, and finally drank the herbal tea in one sip and said, "I need to think about it."

"Of course, but Constantius may be with you to consider it." Sima Ji spread his hands and the King of Yan was not in a hurry, but he added, "Whether it is a Christian or other problem, I can actually help you solve it. Consumers are my best friends."
