I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Let's talk about the camp of the Roman legions.

Dianian was also very puzzled about what happened during the day.

He also summoned all the officers to discuss military affairs.

"What do you think of today's events?"

Dianian frowned and looked at the crowd, and asked softly.

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, with puzzled expressions.

"Could it be that those Orientals are afraid of us, so they ran away?"

One officer said tentatively.

"how is this possible."

Another objected immediately.

"If it's impossible, why do you say?"

No. 1 asked.

"This one……"

The man hesitated.

Apart from this possibility, everyone thought about it and couldn't think of any other reasonable reasons.

Officer No.1 smiled authentically,

"My lord, it must be that after those Easterners arrived, they saw that our Roman legion was in order, so they didn't dare to fight, so they immediately chose to retreat!"

Such a statement is too far-fetched.

Dianian couldn't believe it at all, but there was no other explanation at the moment.

"My lord, how about this, let's pursue the Eastern Allied Forces tomorrow and see if they will retreat, how about?"

The officer said with a smile,
"If they continue to retreat, it will prove that the Easterners are afraid of us!"

"You are right, so do what you say!"

Dianian's eyes lit up!
……

the next morning.

Dianian called up the army again, and chased in the direction where the Eastern Allied Forces were retreating.

He sent out scouts early on, knowing that the coalition forces of the Easterners were stationed fifty miles away.

However, after the Roman legion had traveled no more than [-] miles, a scout hurried back.
"My lord, those Orientals are backing away again!"

Although he had already guessed in his heart, Dyanian was still a little dazed after hearing the scout's answer.

what is happening?
Is it true that as the officer said, the Orientals are afraid of themselves?
"My lord, this is enough to prove that the people of Long Kingdom are afraid of us!"

The previous officer said excitedly,

"We can just chase them and take advantage of the trend to recover the land occupied by the Orientals!"

"In this way, His Majesty will definitely reward us heavily!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Dianian pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily,
"Okay, just do as you say!"

……

In the next few days, Dianian led the Roman legion and continued to advance eastward.

And the Eastern Allied Forces seemed to be really afraid of the Romans, and had no intention of fighting Dianian at all.

As long as the Romans advance, they choose to retreat!

Soon the Roman Legion will regain all the territory occupied by the Orientals!
Seeing this situation, Diyanian, who was still worried in his heart, was completely relieved, and even wrote a letter to Emperor Caracalla.

Dianian touted his achievements in his heart, and asked Caracalla to reward himself and the soldiers of the legion!

……

Night falls.

In the camp of the entire Roman legion, it seemed extraordinarily relaxed.

The Roman soldiers gathered around the bonfire, eating barbecue and drinking wine, so pleasant!

They originally thought that after encountering the Eastern Allied Forces, there would be a hard fight.

But I didn't expect that the Eastern Allied Forces would be so vulnerable that they didn't dare to fight them head-on!

In the camp, Dianian and his officers also looked relaxed.

"My lord, shall we continue to pursue the Eastern Allied Forces tomorrow?"

An officer smiled authentically.

"Of course we will continue to pursue!"

Dianian, who was a little drunk, laughed and said,

"We have regained the territory these few days, but tomorrow will be different!"

After several days of retreat and pursuit, the Eastern Allied Forces have withdrawn to the Tigris River.

If they continued to retreat tomorrow, Nadianian decided to cross the Tigris River and continue the pursuit.

In that case, he would be equal to expanding the territory of the Roman Empire!
Compared with regaining lost ground, his contribution is also more prominent!

"Counting it all together, His Majesty's reply should arrive in a few days, right?"

Dianian put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled triumphantly,
"I don't know how His Majesty will reward us?"

"Maybe he will be promoted to the Senate."

Someone laughed and agreed.

While they were talking, a follower lifted the tent curtain and walked in with a solemn expression.

"Sir, something happened!"

Dianian squinted at him and said indifferently,

"What happened?"

"A messenger has rushed over from Kalai!"

"A messenger from Calle?"

Dianian was taken aback, then suddenly said,
"That must be the messenger sent by His Majesty!"

According to Caracalla's previous letter, he set off from Edessa and will soon arrive in Kale.

Therefore, Dianian subconsciously thought that this was the messenger sent by Caracalla from Kalai!
"No... not really."

The attendant didn't dare to neglect, and quickly called the messenger outside.

The messenger stepped into the tent, and when he saw Dianian, he yelled in grief,
"My lord, His Majesty was assassinated by a villain, you must avenge him!"

"what?!"

Dianian jumped up from his seat, he couldn't believe his ears,

"You...you say it again!"

"Your Majesty arrived in Kale a few days ago, and was assassinated by that despicable man, Julius Matthias, on his way to the temple to worship!"

The messenger said angrily,

"We suspect that the chief of the Praetorian Guards, Makrinus, planned this!"

"And now that he is in charge of the military, he has sent someone to inform Rome that he is going to persuade the Senate to make him emperor!"

"You must avenge His Majesty!"

Cold sweat rolled down Diani'an's forehead, and the original drunkenness quickly disappeared without a trace!

joke.

To avenge Caracalla?
Now I can't protect myself!

Why did Dianian have the confidence to chase the Orientals all the way east?It is relying on the emperor Caracalla in the rear as a reinforcement!
Now Caracalla was assassinated, and the army fell into the hands of the chief of the Praetorian Guards, Macrinus.

For Macrinus, the most urgent task is to convince the Senate, make him emperor, and then take control of power.

It is impossible for him to care about Dianian's army.

Moreover, Dianian was a direct descendant of Caracalla, and Macrinus was an opponent of Caracalla.

The two are inherently at odds.

Once Dianian goes to war with the Easterners and gets into a bitter battle, let alone send troops to support him, as long as Max Krisnus does not hold back, he will be thankful!
"Sir, what should we do now?"

A Roman officer asked tremblingly.

After knowing such a big event that the emperor was assassinated, everyone was a little uneasy!

Dianian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"Don't panic, block this matter first, and don't tell others!"
