Destiny Only Han

"Are you still sick?"

Flaminin frowned, because the face of Scipio standing in front of him was gloomy, his cheeks were blushing, and he was panting heavily.

Scipio looked solemn: "I have killed a sheep to sacrifice to the gods, and the gods will bless me."

Flaminin froze for a moment, nodded and said, "I hope, but I suggest that you should make sacrifices to other gods."

After all, Rome is polytheistic. Flaminin's implication is to let Scipio worship at every temple, burn incense when he meets Buddha, and spread the net widely. If a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, he will be cured. ...

Scipio took it for granted. He fell ill after being exposed to the rain once. After so many days, he not only felt a little dizzy from time to time, but also sweated all over the body. !

Especially those Athenians who claimed to be students of Hippocrates said that his body fluids were out of balance, but after some enema and vomiting, he felt that his illness seemed to be getting worse...

So he didn't wait for those swindlers to bleed him, he asked the guards to drag them out to bleed him first...

After feeling a chill again, Scipio hurriedly asked someone to bring over a silk quilt with exquisite stripes and put it on his body: "The things from the Han Dynasty are just good, and they feel slippery to the touch, just like the skin of a young girl..."

Flaminin shook his head and said:

"That's why I came to you."

"Two Athens merchants said that many Han people appeared in the city of Antigonus, and there are rumors that Antiochus III bought a lot of weapons and armor from the Han people, and now they are on the way to be shipped quickly!"

Scipio raised his head and asked with a pendulum: "And then?"

Flaminin said solemnly: "The Han people should not be underestimated. They were able to defeat the barbarians in the north, relying on their indestructible armor..."

"Hahaha." Scipio laughed out loud:
"How strong is the armor of the Han people? It's not that I haven't seen the armor of the Han people trafficked by merchants from the East. It is said that it is made of cowhide. It is thin and short, and it can't even cover the arms. It is also the armor of the Macedonians. !"

"In my opinion, either Antiochus III was deceived by a few Chinese profiteers, or you were deceived by those businessmen!"

"There is nothing wrong with being careful." Flaminin shook his head: "I think..."

"Don't you think so." Scipio interrupted him again, and said coldly: "Could it be that you want to persuade me to retreat? It's really what they said. You just took money from Antiochus III, so from now on I was helping him speak from the beginning!"

"Remember, you can only retreat safely when facing a dog, but when facing a wolf, if you retreat, you will only be killed by it!"

"Antiochus III is undoubtedly a wolf. Only when I beat him into a dog will the Roman legions withdraw from Asia Minor!"

"And, Hannibal, the great enemy of the Romans, is still alive!"

"I ask you, can you sleep?"

Flaminin calmed down, shook his head again and said:
"Actually, I'm not here to persuade you to retreat. What I want to say is that you must not underestimate the enemy. You must fight Seleucus decisively as soon as possible before more Han people come and their weapons and armor arrive. The third withdraws from the Asia Minor peninsula, allowing the Greek city-states occupied by him to become independent as soon as possible!"

Scipio was taken aback for a moment, coughed a few times and said:
"I really didn't expect you to say such a thing... Well, let's not talk about that."

"This year, there has been a lot of rain. The previous rain just stopped, and it started to rain again in less than half a day. Now Antiochus III has become a turtle. His army is hiding in the city and never comes out to fight with the legion. How can we carry out siege warfare in this kind of weather?"

"So, we can only wait until the rain stops and the ground is dry!"

Flaminin nodded: "It seems that this is the only way to go."

He can also be regarded as a person who has led troops to fight, so he naturally knows the difference between field warfare and siege warfare.

However, the Roman Legion was dominated by citizen soldiers. These guys were engaged in various activities, especially good at civil engineering. Since the Seleucids, who had a large number of cavalry, were unwilling to go out of the city to fight with the legion, it was just in line with their wishes.

When the Roman legion was fighting in Europe, facing the enemy hidden in the city or fortress, they could even build another wall around the enemy's wall, which not only completely trapped the enemy in the city, but also stood at a high place to face the enemy. Attack!

Therefore, the formation of heavy infantry to attack the city is what the Roman legion is best at!
So Flaminin looked at Scipio, who was swaying and coughing constantly, and said, "You must cure your illness as soon as possible, and the Legion cannot do without you!"

Great Scipio said with a smile: "I am not the only one who can fight in the Scipio family. My younger brother, Lucius Cornelius Scipio, is also good at fighting. Now he replaces me in Asia Minor. Peninsula Command Legion."

Flaminin recalled it for a while and nodded. He didn't have a deep impression of Lucius. He knew that the other party was a bit rigid, but he did things rigorously and meticulously.

The Seleucids were mainly cavalry, and their main style of play was to be surprised and look for opportunities in the movement, and Lucius's tactics of forming an formation and fighting tough battles just restrained the tactics of the Seleucids!
"That's right, then I'm relieved." After Flaminin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

But after Flaminin turned around, Scipio stopped him uncharacteristically:

"Don't be in a hurry, I also have good things from Athens merchants here. It is said that they transported white sugar all the way from Han, but it cost me a lot of money. We each eat a can!"

..............................

Chang'an City.

As night fell, the electric lights on both sides of the central street in Chang'an City were lit up one after another.

But the most eye-catching thing is that some big family in Lifang blows up the fireworks.

Colorful and gorgeous.

But the endless stream of people on the street just stopped to watch a few times, and didn't stay too long.

Today is the New Year's Eve. According to the usual practice, the government will hold a lantern viewing ceremony in Chang'an City, and a fireworks show in the early morning!

Therefore, they have to grab a good position first!

It's just that they are only flooding into the city now, and most of them are foreigners, or not local people in Chang'an City.

After all, there are only so many good seats, and many people in Chang'an City start to occupy seats at dawn, and the people who are rushing to watch the lanterns and fireworks now are at most just to join in the fun.

So, Liu Ying, who is very familiar with all these things, suddenly complained:

"Father, what do you like to dress up as a big man? Trying on clothes on the left and the right, this doesn't work and that doesn't work, it's okay now, going to the Lantern Festival has become looking at the back of people's heads, and you don't It must be able to squeeze in!"

Liu Bang looked away a little guilty, but Lu Wan, who was standing beside him, jumped out and waved his fists: "The brat is not big or small! Liu Ji, whether you beat him or not, I will beat him! "

After all, those traveling with Liu Bang in micro-services today include not only Lu Zhi, Liu Le, Zhang Buyi, but also Lu Wan's family, and Liu Ying, the queen and third wife...

So, Lu Wan was waiting for this opportunity!
Hearing Lu Wan's words, Lu Yu immediately took two steps forward, and said seriously: "Although my father is the imperial captain, the emperor's brother is the emperor. If you dare to fight the emperor, it is a crime of disrespect!"

What is a black-hearted little padded jacket... Liu Ying was stunned, but quietly put her arms around Lu Yu's slender waist.

The married daughter is indeed the water that was thrown out... Liu Bang looked at Lu Wan with a bit of sympathy and sadness that hurt others.

After all, that black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket in his family is no different!
Lu Wan was also stunned, a few heartbroken voices came from her ears, she was silent for a long time, and slowly retreated to Yu Ji's side like a blond defeated dog.

Well, it's just his one-sided tears, while Yu Ji has a smile on her face.

Yes, that’s the way to treat him. It’s been a few months and he hasn’t recovered yet... Yuji smiled back, but still gave Lu Yu a sneaky look, indicating that she is visiting privately in a micro-service today, so she can’t call everyone by their names or official positions. .

Lu Yu stuck out his tongue, and while the bustling crowd was looking around, he slowly moved away from Liu Ying, and stood with Dou Yifang and the others.

In fact, they were completely overwhelmed, Liu Yingsu always cherished herself and never did things like white dragon fish suits.

Therefore, the bustling crowd around them seemed to be ordinary people having fun, but they were actually his carefully selected sons from six counties, as well as servants with powdered faces and women's clothes...

They squeezed forward for a while, and amidst the swearing, they couldn't squeeze past the people who really came to see the excitement.

So Liu Bang, who delayed everyone to come out to play because of his stinky beauty, once again became the target of public criticism.

This time, it was his own black-hearted little padded jacket who fired at him first.

Liu Le put one hand on his waist, like a big teapot: "At such an old age, why do you still dress up? Why, are you going to find some more young mothers for Liu Ying and me?"

At today's Lantern Festival, it is said that there are handmade marshmallows for sale. She has been thinking about it for a long time, and she must not be able to eat them now!
So, it's all the old man's fault!

But obviously, Lu Zhi won't spoil her: "What's the point of not being big or small? Go back today and copy your brother's poetry collection twenty times. When will you finish writing and when will you go back to your own home!"

Lu Zhi's anger was because Liu Le sent Zhang Dan and Zhang Wuji to Zhang Liang, but he and Zhang Buyi came to this family outing together!
Doesn't her big grievance daughter know how much she misses her two beautiful and outrageous grandsons and granddaughters?
Well, Zhang Wuji is the name given to that son of Liu Le.

Zhang Liang took it.

Liu Ying was not in Guanzhong at that time, and she regretted it when she found out.

After all, the name Zhang Wuji was made too famous by Uncle Jin, so it can be called a household name...

But the crux of the problem is that the people of the Han Dynasty at this time did not know.

The name Wuji, since Liu Bang put his idol Xinling Lord Wei Wuji on the altar, immediately became no less common names than the common folk names such as no doubt, Qubing, Quji, Shiqi...

On the other side, Liu Ying coughed softly after receiving the signal from Liu Le that "sisters and brothers love each other deeply, help those in distress" and smiled while pulling Lu Zhi and said:

"My elder sister's fingers are as thick as radishes. If mother asked her to copy my poetry collection, it would take more than ten or twenty years to copy it. Dead flies... ouch, who hit me?"

Behind him, Liu Le put his hands on his waist and glared angrily: "Brother stinky, please piss me off!"

I'm helping you, you're so wise... Liu Ying clutched the back of her head, her kind face looked like a donkey's liver and lungs.

Lu Zhi acted like a loving mother, and while Liu Bang and Lu Wan were frowning, she stood on tiptoe and rubbed Liu Ying's head: "Good girl, rub it, it doesn't hurt..."

Liu Ying cooperated with Lu Fei for a while, and in the disgusted eyes of Liu Bang, Lu Wan and Liu Le, she raised her finger: "Do you know why I always succeed? That is because I always have a backup plan!"

Lu Zhi looked surprised: "What backup plan?"

Mother, please be more serious... The corners of Liu Ying's mouth drooped:
"That's why I set the square of the Lantern Festival in front of the Mingguang Palace! That is to say, we enter from the south gate of the Ming Palace, then walk around the palace wall to the west gate, and then walk out through the corner gate, just entering the best place to watch the lanterns. And the place with fireworks!"

At this time, the palace ban was actually a fortress, and below the city wall was a restricted area for the common people. If someone approached without authorization, the soldiers patrolling the palace city could shoot directly!
After all, the feudal dynasty.

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Le immediately gave a thumbs up: "Treacherous! As expected of you, stinky brother!"

Well, I'll take you as a compliment... Liu Ying turned her head silently, and immediately saw a white-haired but angry face.

Liu Bang's face.

"So, you, Li Zi, obviously have a direct way to go there, but you still want Naigong to squeeze around in the crowd? What kind of heart is there?"

"Huh? Naigong is talking to you, do you dare to turn around and leave?"

..............................

Weiyang Palace is like a palace.

The lights here are brightly lit, but unlike the hustle and bustle outside, there are only whispers in the huge front hall.

This is the dormitory where Qi Ji lives. This year's New Year's Eve, Liu Ruyi, who has just been married and has been in the feudal domain for two months, returns from the fief. Congratulations and gold for half of this year's income...

"Hey, I don't know if I don't leave Chang'an City. Compared with Chang'an City, Handan, the former metropolis, is like a small county town in the countryside..."

Liu Ruyi looked left and right, his face full of emotion.

After all, it was a consensus of the Han Dynasty that the feudal states would not develop industries. Therefore, among other things, the lack of electricity and running water made Liu Ruyi uncomfortable for a while.

Qi Ji heard the words, and said with some distress: "Then you didn't listen to your mother at the beginning, and you insisted on rushing to the feudal clan? If your father didn't urge you to leave, who would drive you away from Chang'an City?"

Liu Ruyi shook her head: "I just want to go over and see if the huge state of Zhao can only collect less than 100 million yuan in taxes every year?"

Qi Ji asked: "The result?"

Liu Ruyi was full of frustration: "It's true...but my son thinks that someone must be obstructing it!"

The reference for watching the Lantern Festival is to see the flag raising. When I went to play, I found that many people were waiting there from nine to ten o'clock the first day. You must know that it was winter, and the flag raising time was about six or seven o'clock...

When I arrived at about twelve o'clock, basically only the corners were left...
