I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Severus looked at the excited crowd coldly. After a long time, when everyone gradually calmed down, Severus whispered: "It is a strategic arrangement to temporarily abandon places like Syria and Egypt."

"With the current strength we have, we simply cannot take care of places such as Syria and Egypt. Firstly, the newly formed legions still need training. Secondly, what Rome has done in Syria and Egypt over the years is very unpopular."

After glancing at everyone, Severus continued: "Thirdly, behind this matter, there is the shadow of the Chinese people. If we do not gather our forces and continue to invest our troops in Syria and Egypt, we will fall into the Chinese people's scheme. "

"At that time, our troops will be scattered and our logistics will be difficult to supply. We only need to annihilate a few more legions by the Chinese. The situation in Rome will become even worse than it is now!"

"We will give up Syria and Egypt for the time being. When we defeat the Chinese in the future, we will take Syria and Egypt back."

"Just remember, what we need now is time. Trading space for time is actually a good idea."

After listening to Severus' words, Gervas looked around and saw no one answered. Gervas couldn't help but stood up and said: "Giving up Syria and Egypt is equivalent to giving up Egypt and Syria to the Chinese. The Chinese have gained By conquering Egypt and Syria, they were effectively occupying the bridgehead for the attack on Rome."

"The Chinese have gained Syria and Egypt, and we will be passive everywhere."

Severus waved his hand to Gervase.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to cause trouble for the Chinese people. Remember, when it comes to conspiracy, the Chinese people are definitely not our opponents. I have predicted all the actions of the Chinese people. Next, those who are passive will They will be Chinese,"

Severus said this and stood up with a smile.

"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. That's how it's decided."

"Although Syria and Egypt have been temporarily abandoned, the empire's finances will face challenges, but I promise that I will not give you a penny less for the benefits you deserve in the Senate."

"Of course, the premise is that you support my decision."

Severus glanced at the people in the hall again, and then walked out of the Senate with dozens of soldiers of the Guards.

As soon as he walked out of the Senate House, the smile on Severus' face quickly disappeared.

He waved to the soldiers behind him, and when the soldiers behind him respectfully walked up to Severus, Severus lowered his voice and said: "Gvas's son is dead. The senators headed by him must You won’t agree to the decision I make easily.”

"In addition, there are many people who don't like me being the emperor of the empire. Therefore, there is a high probability that these old stubborns will learn the tricks of others to play a coup."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Gervas. If there is any change in the Gervas family, I will kill them all for betraying Rome and rob them of all the wealth accumulated by their family."

"The empire is in financial difficulty today, but the nobles' wealth is still substantial. If I can clear out half of the nobles' wealth, I can arm fifty more legions."

The Parthian Empire, the city of Ctesi.

Wei Chu held a battle report and read it for a moment, then handed it to Gouzi beside him.

"This is a war report sent back from Syria. See if you can analyze some valuable intelligence from this war report."

Gouzi respectfully took the battle report from Lin Chu's hand. After only studying it for a moment, Gouzi said to Lin Chu: "Your Majesty, if I am not wrong in my estimation, the Romans plan to give up Syria and Egypt."

When Wei Chu nodded slightly, Gouzi continued: "The Romans want to shrink their power, but they will not let us easily occupy Syria and Egypt."

"So there is a high probability that after the Romans withdraw, they will start some small conspiracies in Syria and Egypt to disgust us."

Wei Chu strongly agreed with Gouzi's analysis.

But Wei Chu is not too worried about this.

After the Roman forces withdrew from Syria and Egypt, Weichuhui directly announced its support for Syria and Egypt to become independent countries.

China does not interfere in the internal affairs of Syria and Egypt.

At that time, all the conspiracies laid by the Romans in Syria and Egypt can be solved by the Syrians and Egyptians.

In short, Wei Chu holds many cards.

The Romans had one card and one less card.

"The Romans' withdrawal from Syria and Egypt was a very correct and wise decision. We cannot let the Romans achieve their goals. In addition, I don't like to be too passive in doing things."

After Wei Chu finished speaking, Gouzi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements next. The Romans are good at playing some small conspiracies at best. Next, I will let the Romans see what a big strategy is." ."

"Well, if you have any ideas, feel free to do it."

Gouzi nodded heavily, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but leaned in front of Wei Chu and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"whats the matter?"

"Not long ago, Divine Doctor Hua extracted a poison from dozens of sick mice. Put this poison on the mice, and as the mice move and die, the poison will quickly float into the air, which will cause More rats die.”

"And as the rats die, this poison can also spread to people, causing widespread death of people like rats."

"If we want to take down Rome at the minimum cost, we can spread this poison to Rome's territory."

Having said this, Gouzi quietly looked at Wei Chu. Seeing that Wei Chu's expression did not change, Gouzi continued: "Just doing this will cause many innocent people to die, which is a bit harmful to Yin De."

After hearing Gouzi's words, Wei Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Isn't the poison Gouzi talked about the plague?

Hua Tuo actually came up with this thing.

Is this guy a doctor or a devil?

Under Gouzi's piercing gaze, Wei Chu was silent for a moment and said: "Since this matter hurts morality, let the Parthians do it. Rome is our next big enemy. If this method can weaken the Romans, Naturally, the strength cannot be better.”

"Understood!"

Gouzi grinned and continued: "I will ask Vorogasis V to send someone to do this immediately. Among his men, there are businessmen from Anxi who have been to Rome. They can send the poison directly to Rome."

"Ok!"

Wei Chu reached out and patted Gouzi on the shoulder, "Don't talk too much about this kind of thing to Vologasis V. After all, it's a bit disgraceful!"
