The Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement, and said, "The news just came that the main force of the Augustus Army suddenly withdrew to the south!"

"southward?"

Hearing this, Pan Feng couldn't help being a little surprised: "Going south should be heading in the direction of the Euphatela River?"

"Hmm!" Zhuge Liang said, "I guess they want to cross the river and withdraw their troops from the south to return to the Roman Empire!"

The southern part of Mesopotamia, apart from the Persian Gulf, is the province of Egypt heading southwest.

The province of Egypt is very large, and it is in contact with the province of Syria and Mesopotamia. If they retreat into the province of Egypt, it will be difficult for the Wu army to pursue them.

Although there was a battle with the Roman army in the provinces of Mesopotamia and Armenia, the Wu army has not yet reached the capital of the Roman Empire.

"withdraw troops?"

Pan Feng thought for a while: "Is it so easy for the Roman army to withdraw?"

"The casualties of the Augustus Legion are so terrible. Although their main force is still there, it is absolutely impossible for them to block our rear. Because of the shortage of troops, and they don't know the situation ahead, they are not afraid of our sudden concentration of troops. Kill a carbine? Once we kill the back, they won't even have a place to hide!"

Zhuge Liang analyzed: "If I were the commander of the Augustus Legion, for the sake of conservatism, I would retreat to the south first, cross the Euphadera River, and enter the territory of the Roman Empire in the south. Back off!"

"Your analysis is correct!"

Pan Feng nodded, sat up from the bed, his face became solemn, and said: "In this way, we have cleared up the troubles behind us now, but there is no news from the offensive and defensive battle in Uruk, which proves that The fierceness of this battle prevented them from even dispatching scouts!"

"I'm worried too!"

Zhuge Liang looked worried, and said: "I'm not worried about Zhang Yun's Guanzhong Army in the north fighting against the two routs of the Roman Army. Increase the number of Uruk city-states!"

"How many troops are dispatched?" Pan Feng asked.

"fifty thousand!"

Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while: "In order to prevent the Augustus Legion from killing a carbine, after they cross the Euphrates River, we are sending troops to the city-state of Uruk. You are injured. I will leave [-] soldiers in the headquarters. Enough for the commander-in-chief to stabilize the overall situation in the rear!"

"Ok!"

Pan Feng nodded in approval of Zhuge Liang's deployment of troops: "I agree with you to increase your troops personally, but I think you should send troops immediately. In the current situation of the Augustus Legion, even if you kill a carbine and fight us desperately, it is impossible to fight against us. There is no need to wait for them to cross the river if you can find something cheap in front of you, the situation in Uruk is more critical now!"

"Report!" A loud voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in!"

"Report to the Chief of the General Staff, an imperial decree has been sent from the country. The imperial decree is passed on to the second theater in the west, and the rubbings are given to us!"

"Holy decree?"

Pan Feng and Zhuge Liang's eyes trembled slightly, and Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Bring it here!"

"Yes!"

The guards brought over the rubbings of the imperial decree.

"Is Lu Fengxian the king?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at it, and his eyes widened immediately. The content of the imperial decree made the corners of his mouth twitch.

In the Great Wu Dynasty, since the establishment of the dynasty, there are as many as twelve second-rank dukes, but none of the first-rank princes. Even Sun Quan's elder brother, Sun Ce, who has made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty, has not been crowned king.

Zhuge Liang was a little taken aback when a prince appeared suddenly.

"Fuck, we have been fighting in the west for several years, and in the end, Lu Bu has picked up a big bargain. If Sun Bofu is the king, I will bear it. He is a child of the royal family, but why does Lu Fengxian become the king? , Your Majesty, this is eccentricity, big eccentricity, I am not reconciled!"

Pan Feng was irritated by the position of the prince, and suddenly he couldn't choose what to say, and yelled in displeasure.

"You all go down!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he quickly pushed back all the people in the tent.

"promise!"

The military doctors and guards quickly withdrew from the camp.

"Commander-in-Chief, if you are not reconciled, you can be reconciled in your heart, but you must not say it!" Zhuge Liang looked at Pan Feng, and said calmly: "Nowadays, how many guards in Jinyi are watching your every move. It is not a good thing for you and us to take a bite in the court council!"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Feng calmed down, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

They are people with military power and high positions, and they are far away from the Central Plains. They have too much power and power, and they are basically within the sight of Jin Yiwei. This is an inevitable thing, and it does not mean that Sun Quan does not trust them. , but the duty of Jin Yiwei is not to trust them.

As the emperor's minion, in fact, many people don't like Jin Yiwei, but it is undeniable that the existence of Jin Yiwei is justified.

"Confer the king!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the imperial decree, pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Commander-in-Chief, in fact, this may not be a bad thing!"

"Is this still a good thing?" Pan Feng frowned.

"Commander-in-chief, why do you think Lu Bu was crowned king?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"It's nothing more than the fact that he took Armenia before me!" Pan Feng said with a sneer, "If it wasn't for my first war zone to pull most of the main force of the Roman army, would he have picked up this bargain?"

The fact that the second war zone was able to capture Armenia was indeed a big advantage. The first war zone attracted the main force of the Roman army to the Mesopotamian battlefield, allowing them to easily win Armenia.

"wrong!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Lu Bu will be crowned king. Maybe there is a reason why he captured Armenia, but this credit is not enough for him to be crowned king. If he can be crowned king in this way, he will not be the first to be crowned king, and even more so. It may be Tai Shici who defeated the Anxi Empire back then. The reason why he became king should be more because His Majesty is planning to start the feudal feudal system in the western Roman territory. He is just an introduction. Of course, luck is also strength. We are good, he has seized Armenia, the nominally first province of the Roman Empire!"

"Princes enfeoffment system?"

Hearing this, Pan Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little unbelievable: "No way, this system has been completely abandoned since the Qin Dynasty ruled the world. When the Han Dynasty was first established and the kings were divided into feudal titles, in the end it was not given by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty." Once regained, our Great Wu Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no need to be forced to entrust the positions of princes to stabilize the generals of all parties like the Han Gaozu stabilized the country, and your majesty will not be stupid to use the uncontrollable system of princes' enfeoffment system Let's divide the territory of Great Wu!"

"Commander-in-Chief, you are talking about the Central Plains!"

Zhuge Liang said: "In the Central Plains, it is inevitable and impossible to adopt the feudal feudal system, and we are now in the distant Western Regions, the Western Regions, the Central Plains is difficult to control, even if they send ministers, sometimes it takes several months to go back and forth. Yao, how can we control this vast territory and divide it up? On the contrary, it is the best choice for the court. The princes can pay tribute, and in name, this is still the territory of Great Wu. Jean will make all of us desperately attack the Roman Empire, everyone wants a fief, but only if we fight will there be a fief!"

"So, we also have a chance to become a king and establish a country?" Pan Feng's eyes became hot.

"Probably!"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and said: "If the commander-in-chief can take down the Syrian province, then you will be the second person to be crowned king!"

"Why not Mesopotamia, but Syria!"

Pan Feng asked suspiciously.

"It is basically impossible for Mesopotamia to be awarded. The geographical location here is very important. Even if the princes are entrusted, it is impossible for His Majesty to let the west out of the control of the imperial court. Mesopotamia is the one that connects the entire Western Region. Damia!"
