Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 687 Reaching an agreement to deceive the Roman army this time (three in one)

After leaving the arena, Xu Ding went to the prison again, and then asked someone to find the list of prisoners in the prison.

Holding the pen, he swept his eyes quickly, and then kept checking and crossing.

Finally, he threw the list to his subordinates and said: "Check with the person in charge of the prison. If the facts are clear, let me release the ticked ones, pull out the crossed ones and kill them, and keep the others locked up unchanged."

"It's the commander-in-chief!" The subordinate who received this order was a little strange and confused, and had no idea what Xu Ding was doing.

If you want to let it go, you will let it go, why do you let it go, kill it at the same time, and still don’t move.

How weird.

Xu Ding didn't care if they understood or not, and then led them out of the prison.

Soon Mengdu's people brought Soros to Xu Ding and reported the situation.

"Very good! Soros, you have done a good job. You should deal with pirates like this. If they don't give you a ship, you can't take a single one away from Naples." Xu Ding said: "Since there is no progress at the dock, so Soros, you can take them away." Let your team monitor the pirates in the city, but you don’t need to confront them, just keep an eye on them, if they dare to break through, you and Mengdu will kill them directly.”

"It's the commander-in-chief!" Soros replied, wondering why Xu Ding entrusted him with such a task. Could it be another test.

Seeing the figure of Soros leaving, Xu Ding said leisurely: "Let me just say that I saw the right person, I hope you can do it, Beidu, Macedonia is a legendary place!"

Half a day later, Xu Ding still hadn't removed the roadblocks and soldiers.

On the contrary, the manpower was strengthened, so that the pirates in the city could not leave the city at all.

The pirates outside the port were also a little anxious. They didn't know anything about the situation in the city. No one could guarantee that Xu Ding would directly eat their people and swallow the money that should have been obtained.

The city of Naples is a big coastal city, and there are many rich people in it, and there is also the emperor's summer palace.

So someone suggested: "Why don't you talk to that Alexander Qin, if you can really let our people out, maybe you can give him some boats?"

Someone immediately agreed with this proposal: "I think it's okay. We can keep the big boats for ourselves and give him some small boats. Anyway, we don't have enough manpower, so we can't take all the boats away."

"Okay, talk to him, but he has to make sure that no one touches us, and he doesn't take our money."

Soon a ship docked and contacted Mengdu, and Mengdu sent someone to inform Xu Ding.

Xu Ding said to Thoros, "What do you think of this?"

Soros said: "Commander, they must be afraid that we will encircle their people in the city and swallow their money, so they became anxious and wanted to talk to us.

But at this point, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage of it. They will definitely take the big boat away and leave the small boat for us. "

Xu Ding said: "You are right, we are still passive when talking to them at this time, so you are responsible for this matter, I don't want all their big ships, but at least half of them, and you tell them, I can not only talk to them about this You can also talk about other things, such as we will capture more cities all the way east.

Money is of no use to us. If they are interested, we can make a deal. If they can send us eastward to Achaia and Sparta, I will pay the full amount of money. I think it will be a good thing. Very pleasant cooperation. "

Soros was a little puzzled. Didn't he mean to go north to Macedonia?

Why do you suddenly want to cross to the east to fight the city of Sparta in the province of Achaia?

This gap is a little far.

But Xu Ding had Xu Ding's intentions, so he had no choice but to take orders to negotiate with the pirates outside the port.

In the end, Soros brought back the news Xu Ding wanted, and the pirates agreed.

They will give half of the boat to Xu Ding and the others, but they will have to pay them [-] gold coins and [-] silver coins.

"Okay! Just follow this, everyone must first establish a preliminary trust before we can proceed with the next cooperation." After listening to Soros' report, Xu Ding agreed immediately.

Soon Soros took people to take over the ship, Mengdu also let the pirates go and gave the money.

The two sides cooperated happily, agreed on a secret sign and found a meeting place, and then the pirates disappeared into the sunset.

"Will the commander of these pirates keep their promises?" Seeing the pirates' ship leaving, Money asked worriedly.

Others are also skeptical.

In front of them, there were people with money in the city, and these pirates had to give in. Now that they have no restrictions, it may be difficult for them to cooperate honestly.

Xu Ding smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, what we want is the support of the ship and not the pirates, we don't need to think too much about whether they keep their promises, just be ourselves, take a rest tonight, and we will leave tomorrow.

When the time comes, I will tell you a story about Spartacus and pirates. "

The story of Spartacus and pirates?
Did anything special happen to the two?
Everyone was looking forward to it for a while.

Especially Soros, who was a pirate.

With the boat, Soros was even more busy. He used all the money promised to support him and moved to the street. silver coins, and thereafter no less than forty silver coins per month."

The high settling allowance and monthly payment shocked the people of Naples for a while.

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, which made the people in the city have a little fear of Xu Ding and other rebels who dared to take down the city of Naples, which was quickly replaced by money.

After all, the promised rebel army is not allowed to engage in adultery and plunder, and is not prepared to commit suicide and harm ordinary people without authorization.

Moreover, the people who raised serious crimes from the prison were directly killed, and some corrupt officials in the local area were also ruthlessly clicked by Xu Ding.

After this series of measures, the word-of-mouth of the rebel army has been widely spread.

Only then did the people in Naples know that this was a special force.

They were dissatisfied with the Roman government, with the Senate, with the government that oppressed them.

Naturally, he became less wary, and felt a little sympathetic to the rebels.

Of course, there were still some people in the rebel army who couldn't control their belts and temper, and still did some illegal things. Xu Ding didn't condone this, and they should be killed and punished.

Military discipline has always been his top priority in building an army.

Whether a large army has combat effectiveness, army discipline is very important.

So with these positive and negative examples, Xu Ding's recruitment work went much smoother.

Soros immediately recruited a navy team of four to 500 people, and the team expanded several times.

The other four centurions under Xu Ding's name also expanded, and many poor families from the local area joined.

The ones that are less have doubled the army, and the ones that have more have tripled.

The entire uprising army exceeded 500 people.

Xu Ding was not polite, and promoted five centurions to captains, and a new centurion was established under each team.

So he had five captains and fifteen centurions.

The number and equipment of each team are also arranged more reasonably, divided into water army, cavalry, archer, shield, sword, and spear.

Except for Soros who alone controls the Navy Department, the Cavalry Department only obeys Xu Ding's command.

The other four captains also control a branch under their names.

For example, Meng controls the bow department, Mengdu controls the shield department, Currency controls the spear department, and Vila Toli controls the sword department.

Such subdivision and refinement can give full play to the advantages of the rebel army in the shortest possible time to gather combat effectiveness.

After all, a collocation like the Roman Legion requires regular running-in and training to form a coordinated and powerful combat effectiveness.

…………

In the city of Rome, in the Executive Yuan, the members of the Senate and the generals of the emperor had a quarrel.

Severus hated this endless and meaningless quarrel very much, and said coldly: "I have sent a legion to search for traces of the rebels, I believe they will be found, and the imperial army will smash them.

Compared with the inconspicuous rebels, I think we should devote more energy to dealing with the rebellion in the west. The British Governor Albinus is even more damned. Our powerful army needs food and grass. Done properly, don't delay the real suppression of bandits and chaos. "

As soon as the new emperor's words came out, the entire hall of the Executive Yuan fell silent.

Although many people were dissatisfied with Severus and did not want to support him, it is undeniable that the new emperor's reputation was soaring at this time, because he defeated the former Syrian governor who proclaimed himself emperor and won the war in the southeastern Mediterranean.

The rebellion on the Syrian side was leveled.

Moreover, the time to wipe out the rebellion is very short, and it is still an enemy to be defeated head-on.

He had to his name the most powerful army in Rome at this time.

"Your Majesty's words, forgive me." The khaki of the Senate was carried in with a bandage. Although he was injured, he still came to the meeting after simple treatment and recovery. With deep hatred said:

"To pacify the external turmoil, we must first resolve the internal turmoil and wipe out all threats on the peninsula, so that we can wholeheartedly fight the rebels on the British Governor's side.

This is also for the sake of His Majesty's reputation. If the slave rebels and Alexander Qin are not eliminated, I am afraid that our people will misunderstand what he said in the Colosseum the day before yesterday.

Therefore, His Majesty should send a few more legions to quickly destroy him. Alexander Qin found a boat, crossed the river and escaped, which would be a stain on His Majesty. "

Knowing that Xu Ding was sowing discord that day, provoking the relationship between the Senate and the new emperor, and provoking trouble, but Kaqila and others resolutely fought back, and were more willing to attribute the cause of the matter to the new emperor Sevilla. on Lu.

After all, the 'femme fatale' had indeed had contact with Alexander I*Qin, and the 'femme fatale' had an inseparable relationship with the military.

All the spearheads have been pointing at the new emperor.

Killing Alexander Qin is the top priority of the Senate. It would be even better if he could be captured alive and implicated in the new emperor.

Severus stared at Khakira for a long time, and the old man stubbornly returned the same gaze. Severus had killed some members of the Senate, but Khakira's reputation and relationship were there, and Severus didn't want to touch it yet. .

Otherwise, if he is moved, more provincial governors will rebel.

So Severus was about to speak, because Alexander Qin was not his man, so if he killed him, he would kill him.

But one of the subordinates who came in suddenly whispered something in his ear, and Severus suddenly stood up straight, with an incredible light in his eyes.

But it quickly disappeared, and his face became serious.

After his subordinate finished speaking, he waved his hand to make him stand aside, and Khakira, who had been watching him, showed a suspicious look.

What the hell is Severus doing, where is something big happening.

There seemed to be something wrong with his expression.

"Everyone, I appreciate the opinions of the Senate. Alexander Qin has indeed brought huge losses and bad influence to the empire. They must disappear physically and spiritually.

Therefore, I will add half a legion to carry out the encirclement and extermination. In other respects, the Senate will dispatch local troops to carry out the encirclement and suppression, and the command of this encirclement will be handed over to the Senate from now on. I hope that everyone can shoulder the responsibility of eliminating the influence of the Colosseum incident. big responsibility. "

It was really surprising to see Severus agreeing so readily, and handing over the power of chasing the enemy bandits to the Senate.

All the members of the Senate immediately congratulated the new emperor for his wisdom and wisdom.

After discussing the matter, Severus left immediately with the generals.

When they left, the subordinates were very puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly compromise with those old guys? We can handle Alexander Qin's affairs well. If the Senate can do this, it will be a big deal to Your Majesty." It is very unfavorable, especially if Alexander Qin is captured alive, this lunatic may bite His Majesty."

Severus stopped suddenly, because a member of the Council of Elders hurried over, Severus pointed at him and said, "See, the latest news from Alexander Qin has arrived, that damn madman has captured Naples He also got a lot of ships, and it is said that he still wants to sail eastward to Achaia.”

Speaking of which, Severus suddenly laughed.

Everyone was taken aback.

What!
Alexander Qin attacked Naples, the largest city in the south of the peninsula.

This was the first real appearance of Alexander Qin with the gladiator slaves, and the result was big news as soon as it came up.

Just like fighting out from the city of Rome, there was a big fight.

Only then did everyone understand why the new emperor suddenly agreed to the request of the Senate and gave them the initiative in this matter.

The city of Naples is a harbor city. Alexander Qin, they only have about 500 people. They captured the city and seized the ships. hide.

Since then, there may have been more pirates in the Mediterranean.

If the Senate can't catch up and capture Alexander Qin, they will have to face the anger of the people and be spurned and criticized by everyone.

My new emperor is amazing, this move of Qiankun Great Teleportation is very powerful.

As for whether Alexander Qin will continue to attack Achaia crazily, it can only wait for the test of time.

There is a province to which the Senate is affiliated. If Alexander Qin Zhen goes there, it will be a struggle with the strength of the Senate.

So it's a good idea for the new emperor to play a few hands.

Khakira, who was supposed to be happy in the hall, couldn't be happy anyway. The behavior of the new emperor is too strange.

Suddenly agreeing so happily, and also giving up the initiative, it feels like there is a conspiracy.

It's just that their Senate has to accept the move, otherwise they won't be able to compete with the new emperor in the future.

After all, if you don't even want the opportunity, you will have an excuse to say it later.

"The elders are in trouble. The city of Naples was captured by Alexander Qin, and the city of Naples fell..."

The atmosphere of joy in the hall suddenly froze and turned cold.

…………

Before dawn, Xu Ding quietly withdrew out of Naples with his people, and disappeared on the path.

However, Soros' navy did not leave, but waited until after noon to eat, and then pulled the banner of Alexander Qin and drove out of the pier, using the port and entering the sea.

Those who didn't know the details thought that Xu Ding and the others had all escaped by sea by boat.

So the Roman army that was killed in the evening got very confused answers.

Whether Alexander Qin escaped by sea, where did they go, and how to chase the enemy next are big questions.

After leaving the city of Naples, Xu Ding led the people into the main mountain range on the Apennine Peninsula, and then led the people over the south side of the mountain range to the north side.

Needless to say, this process was very hard.

In order to cross the mountains, they basically ran out of food to eat and had to throw away some heavy equipment.

Fortunately, they successfully got rid of the Roman army again.

"Commander! Good news, all the Roman troops who came to block us on the north coast have been transferred eastward, and there is no organized Roman army nearby." Those who went out to inquire about the news came back happily to report.

No one would have guessed that they deliberately let the navy go east to lead the Romans to chase east, and mobilized the troops that were originally blocked on the north coast.

Xu Ding said: "Where is the largest city in the north, and how long will we have to walk to get there?"

"Returning to the commander, the largest city is Brindisi in the northeast. It is still a day away from us. This is also a seaport city, mainly for Macedonian provinces in the Balkan Peninsula, Epirus provinces, and Dalma. Trade in the province of Tia." The spies replied.

Xu Ding nodded, then took out the map seized from the city of Naples, looked at it again and again, and finally said: "Let's go, first lurk outside the city, check the situation, take it here if you have the opportunity, and then raise ships, wait Follow Soros and they sail north together."

City of Naples!
Soon after Xu Ding and others left, they were taken over by the people of the Senate, and the person in charge of this matter was a younger member of the Senate, Lao Chuan.

Chuan compiled the information reported by the various troops, and then asked the dispatched navy general: "So, Alexander Qin wants to go east all the way, wants to attack Crotone, and then jumps to attack Achaia. "

"That's right, Elder Chuan, that's what the pirates said. He said that Alexander Qin was willing to pay a large sum of money to cooperate with them. When the time comes to take down Achaia, the pirates will earn money, and the people and supplies will go to the rebels.

That Soros went east ahead of schedule and headed for the east coast. "The navy general returned.

Chuan thought for a while and said, "Is it possible that Alexander Qin took people over the mountains and went north, didn't he say at the beginning that he wanted to go north? From the previous action, Alexander Qin is very good at avoiding the truth , is a guy with a very strategic vision, you can't underestimate him!"

"Old Chuanyuan has this possibility, but it is very small. If Alexander Qin wants to cross the mountains and go north, then he doesn't need to offend those pirates, and there is no need to get so many ships.

Now his army has more than doubled in size, and the number is much larger. It is extremely difficult to completely avoid our sight.

Only by disembarking with the owner of the ship can you take advantage of the advantages, and flee to the sea if you don't have the advantages. This is the perfect strategy. "The navy officer said with eloquence.

Reasonable and well-founded, Elder Chuan nodded slightly and sighed: "Yes, this is an extremely cunning guy, then we will continue to shrink our troops eastward and increase our search efforts. If Alexander Qin really went to Crotone, Then we'll kill him right there.

Also, his ridiculous navy army will also be killed together. If possible, I really hope that those pirates will really help Alexander Qin. "

The navy general smiled: "This may disappoint the elders, these pirates know how capable they are, they dare not help Alexander Qin, otherwise they would not secretly disclose the news to our navy.

Besides, Xu Ding even took their ship, these pirates are very vengeful. "

Soros went east all the way, landed and fought when he saw a place where he could go ashore. If he couldn't, he avoided it from a distance.

Now he wants money and money, food and food, fame and the banner of Xu Ding's avatar.

The whole team suddenly swelled up.

If it was before, he could have taken the opportunity to stand on his own and become a big bandit, but in the end he chose to follow Xu Ding.

As a big bandit himself, it is obvious from the scriptures that he will be beaten by the Roman army and will eventually be defeated, but he will be able to fight vigorously with Xu Ding.

Even if he died, he was worthy of the name of Soros.

In this way, he went all the way east, firmly attracting the attention of the Romans.

Soon his ship reached the southeast corner. For this reason, he also specially sent people to attack some towns in the Sicilian province, and he also gained some gains.

However, when the city of Messina was attacked, it was met with a fierce counterattack from the province of Sicily.

So he resolutely gave up the invasion, and then turned the rudder to go north.

"Damn it, those pirates are right. The rebels are going to attack Crotone. Fortunately, we are prepared here, otherwise the province of Sicily will be finished first." The military commander of the province of Sicily was in Messina. After looking at the Soros troops who turned the rudder to the north on the city wall, the opponent immediately said:
"Inform the elders immediately and tell them that the rebels are heading to Crotone."

Soon Chuan and others stepped up the siege of Crotone.

However, the defense of the city was not strengthened.

They just want Xu Ding to fight, and when Xu Ding is defeated, they are surrounding them.

You have to give Xu Ding enough reason to fight, and you have to make him feel that he can come down and dare to bite the bait.

However, after a few days, no sign of the rebel army was found, and even Soros' navy had not yet reached the vicinity of Crotone.

This navy seems to have suddenly disappeared.

In fact, Soros went east into the depths of the sea, and then went east and went east.

Because his goal is not Crotone, nor the north, but the Aegean Sea.

"Old Chuan, those pirates contacted us just now, but Soros did not contact them according to the original code, and they may have gone directly to fight Achaia." The Roman navy has been chasing Soros, trying to It was blocked on the sea, but it has not caught up.

After all, Soros' navy had to leave a few days earlier.

"Leave the Pirate Alliance aside and go directly to Achaia." Elder Chuanyuan touched it, suddenly realized something, and shouted:

"Not good! The rebels are going to attack Brindisi. Alexander Qin actually wants to go north. Hurry up and send troops to the north to pursue them. They will flee to the Balkans when it's too late..."
