Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 641 is about to begin
In the early morning, Wang Li walked out of the cabin and walked to the deck.

Although the city of Sibal is now under the control of the Great Qin Navy, Wang Li is still used to living on the boat.

During these months in Sibal, he did only one thing.

That is, use the Sibals who have been reduced to slaves to dig fortifications around the city.

In expeditions abroad, and stationed on the borders of Rome, one cannot be too careful.

The changes in the situation in recent months confirmed Wang Li's guess.

Today, the Great Qin's Western Expeditionary Army is gearing up in Rome, preparing for a battle.

No one knows when this battle will start.

The only thing Wang Li was sure of was that in a real fight, the Great Qin Navy under his command would definitely be under the greatest pressure.

The Daqin Navy is full of plans, with less than 5 people.

Although in the previous conflict with Rome, they all had the upper hand.

But Wang Li knew very well that this was because what he faced before was not the elite of Rome.

If it is against the elite navy of Rome who retired from the Punic War, it will definitely not be so easy to win.

The Daqin Navy is well-equipped, and it is true that the ships are strong and the guns are sharp.

But, everyone knows that this is the sphere of influence of Rome.

Once the war breaks out, Rome will fight the war of attrition ruthlessly, and it will slowly grind the Qin navy to death.

Thinking about it, I really envy Li Xin!
Wang Li sighed.

Li Xin went to the expedition, and the Academy of Sciences accompanied him with the latest weapons of all the Academy of Sciences.

The battle of Kaer Morhen shocked the world.

Even Wang Li, the middle and high-ranking officer of the Great Qin Army, was taken aback when he learned of the results of this battle.

The Qin army killed 60 people in Bendu with little loss.

Although Li Xin learned of this battle later, some luck was attributable to him.

However, Wang Li was still very envious.

When Zhao Kun sent him to train the navy, he promised that the Daqin Academy of Sciences would fully support him.

In the country, it is true.

However, whoever makes himself go to Sibal, which is tens of thousands of miles away, will of course not be able to enjoy the assistance of the scientific research institute.

Of course, it is meaningless to say this now.

During this time, Wang Li did not receive any orders from the country.

Obviously, Zhao Kun didn't intend to let them retreat.

Of course Wang Li is not afraid of war.

However, as time went by, Rome never took any action, which made Wang Li feel a little upset.

If it is said that the initiative to start a war on land is in the hands of Daqin.

On Sibal's side, because the initiative of the war is in the hands of Rome.

Recently, the Southern Governor's Palace in Rome has been unusually quiet.

According to the news sent back by the scouts, Marcus, the governor of the south, did not leave the gate, as if he had completely forgotten the existence of the Great Qin Navy.

This made Wang Li feel very bad.

It is too far away from the mainland of Daqin. Once the two countries are at war, Daqin can use countless forces on the frontal battlefield.

And Wang Li's navy is the Qin army in the most dangerous situation.

As long as the commander-in-chief of Rome is not stupid, he will definitely use the Great Qin Navy as a breakthrough.

It is the best strategy to surround the points and fight for aid and wait for work with ease.

It's ridiculous that the Romans clamored to pass this battle to determine who is the real world hegemon.

But they deliberately ignored that in this upcoming war, what they were facing was not a complete Great Qin at all.

However, Wang Li didn't care.

Based on his understanding of Rome, when this country faces a complete Great Qin, there is only one possibility.

That is, being hanged up and beaten by Daqin.

War is the most consequential activity in the world.

There's no point in pointless complaining at all.

The comparison of power on paper can't explain anything, and the result can only be known after the fight.

If Rome thinks he is a soft persimmon and wants to bite, he will definitely break a few teeth!
The Qin army is best at defeating the strong with the "weak".

Wang Li was thinking about his own arrangement on the Sibal Peninsula, and there were any omissions.

At this time, a guard came over.

"General, please see Zhou Bo."

"Let him come to see me."

Wang Li nodded, turned around and walked into the cabin.

After a while, the personal guard walked in with the tall and strong Zhou Bo.

After this period of self-cultivation, Zhou Bo was no longer the sallow and emaciated look he had just escaped from the water prison.

Wang Li learned that he was the leader of the Qin people in the caravan and had military experience.

In particular, after the Qin people in the caravan were captured, Zhou Bo endured the humiliation and led the Qin people to make a plan before moving, and finally saved those people.

Wang Li cherishes talents and makes Zhou Bo the chief of the Daqin Marine Corps.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bo's ability is outstanding, and in less than half a year, relying on his merits, he was promoted to the commander of the Marine Corps.

It can be said that Zhou Bo was Wang Li's biggest surprise for Sibal and his party.

However, his subordinate love general has been taciturn, and usually boards the ship with the young master on his own initiative.

This time he came here, there must be something important.

Sure enough, when Zhou Bo saw Wang Li, he revealed the purpose of coming here.

"General, last night, my people overheard a message because they followed the caravan..."

In addition, I stayed in the peninsula for more than a year.

Many of Zhou Bo's subordinates are proficient in the native language of this place.

Last night, Peng Yue overheard two slaves captured in Sibal City conspiring to escape.

The two were also unlucky. They were small nobles in Rome before, and they were doing business in Sibal when they were arrested.

The Great Qin Navy cleared the field and captured all the aliens as slaves, and they were left behind.

Later, Marcus, the governor of southern Rome, used the detention of these so-called Roman citizens as an excuse to fight against the Qin Navy several times.

Although the two were vague, Peng Yue immediately sensed something was wrong.

After all, the Daqin Navy has too few manpower, and it is impossible to manage slaves in every aspect, and there are inevitably omissions.

It's normal for these slaves to have their own sources.

Peng Yue should tell Zhou Bo this situation.

As a professional soldier, Zhou Bo was far more sensitive than Peng Yue in this kind of matter.

He knew very well that under normal circumstances, the captive would never choose to escape, because that would be death.

Aware of this, he immediately arranged for someone to go to the slave camp to investigate.

Zhou Bo was extremely frightened by the result.

In the slave camp, the few slaves from Rome were all preparing to flee.

If they hadn't encouraged the rest of the slaves to riot in order to create opportunities for themselves to escape, it would have been really not easy to be exposed like this.

In a rage, Zhou Bo tortured those Roman slaves.

In the end, he got a piece of news that made his hair stand on end.

The commander of the Roman Legion, Great Scipio secretly came to the Southern Governor's Palace two days ago.

Along with him, there were two Roman naval regiments that had been moored in the North African waters before.

The meaning of this is self-evident.

Rome, finally ready to do it.

……

Governor's Palace.

Scipio looked at Marcus in front of him and sighed.

As the governor of southern Rome, Marcus is also considered a high position.

However, this person's talent is indeed very ordinary.

It is undeniable that the center of gravity of Rome's development lies in the central and western regions.

The consuls over the years are all from the Midwest.

But this is not the reason for Marcus' incompetence.

The Southern Governor's Mansion has three legions with nearly 20 troops.

But in the face of the Daqin Navy who was on an expedition with Lao Shi, there was nothing they could do.

In the past year, Marcus has been messed up.

Sibal City, a city-state affiliated to Rome, did not even keep it, but watched Sibal City fall.

If Rome hadn't been fighting Carthage in full swing at that time, Marcus would have been punished by the Senate.

Seeing himself coming, Marcus actually had the face to claim credit for himself.

Scipio almost laughed angrily.

However, he has seen a lot of shameless faces of nobles in the country, but he is no stranger to them.

"Dear Your Excellency Scipio, this is the military deployment map of the Great Qin Navy. I guarantee that you will never find such detailed information anywhere else."

Marcus's fat face was full of smiles, and his tone was quite complacent.

It took him half a year to draw this map.

In Marcus' view, this was his great achievement against the Great Qin Navy.

When the Daqin Navy had just captured Sibal, Marcus was really panicked.

However, the Senate did not punish him at that time.

In particular, as time went by, Great Qin went out to conquer the Bendu Kingdom and crushed it with unrivaled force.

Marcus was thoroughly comfortable.

Before, everyone only heard about Daqin's name but not its power, but now they saw the ferocity of Daqin's army in the battle in Bendu.

This is enough to show that it is not that I am not strong enough, but that the enemy is too cruel!

What's wrong with crimes other than war?

Thinking of this, Marcus completely let go of his psychological burden.

Showing the picture to Scipio is not for atonement, but for credit.

The implication is that the Daqin army is so ferocious, and I overcame all difficulties and sent someone to take the risk to inquire about their deployment plan.

Even if there is no credit, at least it is hard work.

He hoped that this would make Scipioga look at him, and it would be even better if he could gain his appreciation.

Although Marcus is among the ordinary nobles, he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person.

However, in front of Scipio, he is a complete little person.

After the Punic Wars, Scipio returned home in triumph.

The city of Rome prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him.

Even the Senate, which has always had its eyes on top of its head, couldn't wait to award him the title of "Conqueror of Africa".

Among the Senate, some supporters of Scipio even proposed to grant him the post of consul or dictator for life.

Moreover, the voice was extremely high at the time.

As long as Scipio nodded and agreed, he would most likely become the first dictator of the Roman Republic.

Scipio, however, categorically refused the requests of these men, and instead acted as consul.

Scipio's refusal not only did not disappoint his supporters.

Even, his prestige in Rome is even higher.

Obviously, Scipio, who is only in his early thirties this year, has achieved unprecedented great achievements.

Great nobles including Marcus firmly believed that as long as Scipio was willing, he would be able to become the unprecedented dictator of Rome.

Now Scipio refuses such honor, I am afraid it is only because he feels

She is fledgling and needs to continue to be looked after.

This is the best opportunity to hug Scipio's thigh.

Looking at the flattering Marcus, Scipio couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Although he was born in the military, his father had served as the consul of Rome. Of course, he was no stranger to the dirty thoughts in Marcus' mind.

In fact, in the past six months, Marcus is not the first nobleman who intends to serve him.

But Scipio rejected them all.

This has a direct relationship with Scipio's character.

Although Scipio was the commander-in-chief of Rome, he was a literary youth at heart.

He has loved Greek culture since he was a child, and has a soft spot for the stories described in Greek mythology.

It is precisely because of this that he became obsessed with the culture of the land of Zhuxia, and studied hard behind closed doors for half a year.

He was an extremely emotional man, with an unrealistic vision of the Roman republic in his bones.

Because of this, he would resolutely reject the proposal of the Council of Elders and the idea of ​​these great nobles taking refuge.

At this time, Scipio didn't know that it was because of his decision that his old age was unknown.

After another 20 years, the nobles of Rome have gradually realized that Scipio really has no intention of being a dictator.

They decisively abandoned Scipio!
Because of Scipio, it was inconvenient for them to do many things.

Therefore, in Scipio's later years, the nobles initiated his trial several times.

Although every time, Scipio used his huge reputation and outstanding speech ability to avoid it.

But he is a delicate and sensitive person after all. This feeling similar to being betrayed made him mentally tortured, and he died of worry when he was only in his 50s.

Until his death, Scipio was still so capricious.

He refused to bury himself in the ancestral tomb of the Scipio family in Rome, for which he left a famous saying.

"My ungrateful motherland, how are you entitled to possess my remains."

It can be said that although the Punic War was won.

However, the two opponents, Scipio and Hannibal, ended up surprisingly similar.

All of them betrayed their relatives and died in depression.

It's just that Scipio is now in his prime, and he doesn't realize the inappropriateness of his actions at all.

He took the map from Marcus and put it aside.

"I came to the south this time and mobilized the combat power of five legions, including two naval legions. The strength is already enough to crush those arrogant Daqin people."

Scipio said lightly, although he didn't say it clearly, but his disdain for the picture presented by Marcus was very obvious.

This is not Scipio's arrogance.

In fact, he will go all out in every war he faces.

In the eyes of Scipio, the deployment map of the Great Qin Navy that Marcus presented as a treasure was simply rough.

He has a more detailed map in his hand.

Moreover, he also sent people to instigate the slaves who were building fortifications on Sibal.

The preparations he made were much more detailed than Marcus.

Just like Marcus, he just drew a picture and rushed forward regardless, that's a no-brainer performance.

Faced with Scipio's obvious dislike, Marcus' face changed slightly, but he could only swallow his anger and dare not speak out.
