Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 636
During the Warring States period, the Seven Kingdoms competed in the Central Plains, mainly for hegemony.

At that time, the strength of the Seven Kingdoms was extremely strong.

After hundreds of years of civil war, every country has a great ability to heal itself.

Therefore, during the period of the Qixiong struggle for hegemony, every war tried to annihilate the other party's vital forces.

Under this concept of family and country, the existence of captives is simply not tolerated.

It is precisely because of this that Bai Qi's name of killing the god can be achieved.

In fact, it's not just Bai Qi, a titan like Wang Ben who was killed during the Warring States period has no psychological burden at all for things like massacres.

Wang Ben didn't know what Zhao Kun was thinking before, so he kept besieging instead of attacking.

Now that Zhao Kun's order has come, Wang Ben has already regarded the people and goods in the city as Daqin's assets.

If it can be done without bloodshed, of course it would be best.

Of course, to let the king of Bendu be captured without a fight, there is a high probability that it will be a formality.

No one will surrender obediently when they know they must die.

Therefore, Wang Ben only gave the other party three quarters of an hour to think.

As soon as the time came, the Qin army immediately began to attack the city.

This small city was not a military city in the first place, and its defenses were like paper.

Before the Qin army's round of attack was over, the city wall collapsed.

Subsequently, the vanguard quickly entered the city.

Facing the wolves and tigers of the Qin army, the army of the Bendu Kingdom, who had no fighting spirit, voluntarily put down their weapons and surrendered.

At this time, Li Xin was not in the attacking team.

He was in the camp, discussing matters with Wang Ben.

In Li Xin's eyes, the King of Bendu could not be called an opponent at all.

He is not even interested in seeing the other party's final fate with his own eyes!
Among the handsome tents, there are only Wang Ben and Li Xin.

At this time, a huge map was placed on the table in front of the two of them.

What is depicted above is a topographic map of the border between Rome and the Kingdom of Pontus.

"Wang Li sent back news from Sibal that after Carthage's defeat, the Romans stepped up their pressure on him. Moreover, at the beginning of the year, the old Shang Shanyu saw the gathering of Roman legions on the coast of the Black Sea."

"Reliable news came from the Black Ice Terrace. There are signs of Rome's eastward advance. The four legions that came down from the battlefield have been mobilized eastward."

Li Xin frowned and said to Wang Ben.

Wang Ben clicked on the map and sneered.

"Last night, I received a secret order from His Majesty. The battle is over, and the Western Expeditionary Army is on standby. Your Majesty also wants to fight Rome!"

With the battle ahead, both of them had a look of anticipation on their faces.

I thought that after the unification of China, there would be no major wars in Great Qin.

In particular, after Fusu supervised the country, Zhao Kun made arrangements in secret, and the national power of Daqin was improving by leaps and bounds.

This made the Great Qin generals who looked down on the world even more arrogant.

According to the thinking of normal people, who would provoke such a Daqin, who would dare to provoke?!
Unexpectedly, there is really someone who is not afraid of death.

The two thought that leading the army to the west this time should be the last battle of their lives.

Unexpectedly, the surprise is yet to come!
The Roman Republic, this country is not unfamiliar at all in today's Great Qin.

As the most powerful country in Europe, this country, like Great Qin, has unparalleled influence in the westernmost part of the mainland.

At this time, Rome had just defeated Carthage in the Second Punic War and annexed most of the power of another country whose hard power was not weaker than it.

Today's Rome can be said to be the most powerful time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

However, as a real soldier, you will encounter such a country.

Wang Ben and Li Xin didn't have the slightest timidity, but were very eager to fight each other.

Not that they are arrogant.

On the contrary, the two attach great importance to this opponent.

Although the two countries have never fought against each other before, judging from some information collected by Daqin, this country is really strong enough.

Born in a wild place like Europe, Roman martial arts flourished.

Their professional army will receive extremely rigorous training.

Moreover, since the founding of the country, wars between Rome and other countries have never stopped.

During these wars, they worked out an extremely efficient military system.

Powerful infantry tactics make their combat coordination extremely reasonable.

The highly organized personnel ratio can also greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

The grand army combat mode is also one of the characteristics of the Roman army.

According to the judgment of the Great Qin Academy of Social Sciences, Rome's combat power is no less than the sum of the previous six countries except Qin, and even exceeds it.

Before Qin destroyed the six countries, it also experienced a long period of cooperation, not always with one against six at the same time.

From this perspective, before defeating Carthage, Rome was more powerful than Qin during the Warring States period.

Over the years, Daqin has of course continued to develop.

But Rome is not standing still.

Don't look at the fact that this country has been at war all these years.

But the rules of war in Europe are like gambling.

The winner wins it all!
Today, Rome, which is no longer invincible in Europe, has completely grown into a world power.

One cannot be too careful in the face of its army.

Of course, Wang Ben and Li Xin would not think that Rome is the same just because the Pontus Kingdom is vulnerable.

You know, today's Rome, if it takes action against the Pontus Kingdom.

Perhaps because of equipment problems, their casualties will be greater than those of the Western Expeditionary Army, but the result is absolutely the same.

Not to mention, the Western Expeditionary Army is an expeditionary army, and at this time it is already thousands of miles away from the mainland of Daqin.

They face Rome here, and it is still unclear who will win.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ben and Li Xin are so excited.

For famous generals like them, beating the Ponto Kingdom is completely beating up a child.

Although it is very cool to do this kind of thing, but if you do too much, it will be a bit boring.

The two are discussing how to deal with Rome, which is about to move, after resolving the matter of Pontus.

At this time, a man in black walked in quickly.

"General Qi, the army broke through the city half an hour ago. The vanguard found the capital country in the city lord's mansion."

This man in black is the leader of the Black Ice Terrace who went out with the army.

Today, the black ice platform that has been "strengthened" by the Academy of Sciences is very capable.

They completely replaced the role of scouts in the Western Expeditionary Army.

Inquiry, pass the message, the ability is extremely strong.

Wang Ben and Li Xin looked at each other, then turned to look at each other.

"Facing the army, the king of Pondu completely fell into madness. He set his house on fire and was about to set himself on fire, but was hacked to death by members of the Academy of Sciences who followed the vanguard army into the city"

"The army captured 930 members of the nobles of the Bendu Kingdom in the city, and all of them were taken into prison cars. In addition, nearly [-] members of the Bendu royal family were beheaded on the spot."

The eyelids of the man in black lifted slightly, his eyes were much whiter and less dark, matching the meaning of his words, they were a little permeable.

Although he said to report, but in fact, it was as if he was telling, and he spoke without emotion.

Zhao Kun has a very high reputation in the Great Qin Dynasty. Both ordinary people and civil and military officials all admire Zhao Kun very much.

However, if Daqin is said to be the most loyal person to Zhao Kun, it is definitely Heibingtai.

The Black Ice Platform monitors the world, but their power is ultimately given by the royal family.

So far, the Black Ice Platform is not a state institution in the orthodox sense. Strictly speaking, all members of this department are retainers of the royal family.

The royal family gave them great power, and they were naturally loyal to the royal family.

This institution is one of the few important institutions that has not changed its nature after Zhao Kun ascended the throne.

Zhao Kun has far-reaching thoughts for Daqin, but the only backup for the royal family is the net and the black ice platform.

If there is a change in the Qin Dynasty in the future, and those who die for the royal family, the Black Ice Terrace and the Luowang will definitely bear the brunt of the existence.

Every member of the Black Ice Platform has this awareness.

This kind of concept is exposed, that is, when the people of the Black Ice Platform face other people except the royal family, they will not pretend to speak.

In their eyes, whether you are a high-ranking minister in the court or a general with hundreds of thousands of troops, you are just a cloud.

Wang Ben and Li Xin were already used to the behavior of the black ice platform, so they didn't care much about the attitude of the man in black.

In addition to the role of scout in the army, the Black Ice Platform also serves as a supervisor and law enforcement team.

Obviously, they were the ones who were executed in the city just now.

The man in black in front of him had a strong smell of blood, obviously he killed quite a few people with his own hands.

Coupled with this expressionless look, if it were someone else, just seeing him like this would make his legs weak.

"All matters can be handled according to His Majesty's decree!"

Wang Ben waved his hand and waved the man in black back.

Although he fought against the Bendu Kingdom for half a year, Wang Ben, like Li Xin, was not interested in taking a look at the loser at all.

To say that they are his opponents is to exalt them.

Early in the morning, outside Dacia's unassuming small fishing village near the Black Sea.

A middle-aged man with dark skin and beards, with a fishing net on his shoulders and a wooden bucket full of fish in his hand, walked towards the village.

"Good morning, Mr. Nika, is this what you got last night?"

Several children playing at the entrance of the village saw him and ran towards him bouncing around.

The man touched their heads one by one, and stuffed a fish in each of their pockets.

The children immediately cheered, then turned and ran towards the house.

In their ecstasy, Mr. Nika was portrayed as the best man in the world.

The middle-aged man walked into his hut alone.

Putting the barrel by his feet, he didn't light a fire, and sat quietly beside the bed amidst the splashing noises of fish swimming in the barrel.

The seaside wooden house in the early morning is naturally cold and humid.

But with his bare chest, he didn't seem to feel the cold at all.

This person is Hannibal, the hero who came here in exile from Carthage.

The Carthaginian Senate lost confidence in his military capabilities late last year because of his complete defeat in the Zama War.

They sought to surrender to Rome, and to give him to Rome as a spoil of war.

Every time Hannibal thinks about it, instead of being angry, Hannibal finds it funny.

Those idiots in the Senate, their ancestors left enough wealth to squander, so that at this time, those people have completely degenerated into maggots lying on the glory left by their ancestors, eating and waiting to die.

For them, the brain is simply a decoration.

It was just a defeat, and in their eyes, it was like the sky had fallen.

Before the Romans made any movement, they had already decided to surrender to each other, even at the expense of sacrificing themselves to protect their own interests.

From that moment on, Hannibal knew that Carthage was doomed.

As a country that considers itself as famous as Rome, they even lost the fighting spirit of Rome's repeated defeats.

Such Carthage has no future at all.

Sure enough, after he went into exile, Carthage surrendered to Rome as quickly as possible.

But what did those self-righteous old guys get?
The Carthaginian navy that I worked so hard to build was directly knocked into the dust.

In a huge coastal country, there are only ten warships left.

Moreover, Rome also proposed huge war reparations.

According to the pissing nature of the old fellow Anbang in the Senate, they will never use their property to pay compensation.

In the end, it was only the lower classes of Carthage who suffered.

Hannibal had expected that the Senate would throw all the blame on himself.

After that, they will increase taxation wildly in Carthage to compensate for the war reparations paid to Rome.

Hannibal knew the Carthaginians well.

He is very sure that once this extreme high-pressure policy continues to a certain stage, it will definitely usher in crazy revenge from the lower class civilians.

By that time, Carthage would have taken revenge on Rome, not to mention recuperating, and I am afraid that it would not even have the basic ability to maintain the country.

However, he didn't think it mattered.

They are just asking for their own death.

When the ruler of a country, when dealing with a problem, only thinks about how to protect his own interests, then the country is destined to not go far.

What happened to Carthage, Hannibal no longer thought about it, and now he had other plans.

That is, go to the huge empire far in the east to have a look.

Although he was in remote North Africa before, Hannibal has heard too many legends about the country of Daqin.

After he fled from Carthage, he originally wanted to go to the Seleucid Empire, which had nothing to do with Rome, and use their power to avenge himself.

However, the military strength demonstrated by the Great Qin's Western Expedition changed Hannibal's mind.

He couldn't wait to find out whether the rumored military power that didn't belong to the world was really that powerful.

If possible, he even wants to form an alliance with Daqin.

As for the previous incident, in Hannibal's view, it was not a big deal.

Although he was in exile, Hannibal was still very confident in his own value.

He believed that as long as he met the Great Qin Emperor, he would be able to make him agree to his alliance request.

What Hannibal didn't know was that the world had changed too much because of the birth of Daqin.

Because the Great Qin destroyed the Pontus Kingdom with a destructive attitude, which aroused the fear of Rome.

Therefore, in terms of dealing with Carthage, Rome, which originally wanted to give the other party some "last decency of the nobility", finally decided to kill.

It is precisely because of this pressure that the Carthaginian Senate decided to abandon Hannibal.
