Qiang Qin

Chapter 470

15 years.

Just at the flick of a finger.

Among the people who followed Li Yuan all the way, some fell behind and left the team that had won countless honors to enjoy a comfortable life; Changing, improving one's abilities, and writing a new chapter of one's own.

Cao Xin has changed.

The always reckless and impulsive man, under the hammering of the years, gradually faded the glitz on the surface, revealing the inner quality of the metal inside.

The young Qin general's risky gamble, and the deputy general Ji Xin's calm remonstrance, repeated back and forth in Cao's confidence. This time, he had to judge the situation by himself. This time, he could not rely on anyone.

——.

No sleep for one night.

On the next morning, Cao Xin, who had been thinking hard all night, finally made a decision to come and not to be indecent.Now that the Romans are here.Then give them a good "entertainment" and leave a deep impression on them.As for whether to tear your face into a big fight, or negotiate peacefully, it depends on the outcome of the talks.

However, the peace talks are not about making concessions. A mere [-] enemy soldiers is nothing in Cao Xin's eyes. However, it is always inappropriate to slash and kill every time. Cao Xin decided to change it. Not only did he bring Adlicia, a Thrace general, but he also drew up an agreement signed by Thrace to transfer fifty miles of land around Constantinople to Qin.

As for the Qin Army troops protecting the negotiations, they have also been carefully selected. Cao Xin wants to show the strength of the Great Qin Army, and let the Western powers know that Great Qin is not easy to mess with.

The Tianlei Army is a secret weapon, and naturally it cannot be exposed rashly. As for the powerful long-range weapon machine crossbow of the Qin Army, it can be shown. In addition, it can be compared with the Romans who are still using bronze weapons.The iron armor, weapons, and elite cavalry uniformly equipped by the Qin army are the left arm and right arm that the soldiers rely on most.

The power of the Romans and the leading technology of the Qin army!Which one is more powerful? Cao Xin has full confidence. You must know that the strength of the little Yuezhi people under his command is not much worse than that of the Romans. Even they are full of praise for the advanced and sharpness of iron weapons , the Romans were also unable to please.

As for the secrets of wrought iron technology, Daqin Bingzao's secrecy work in this area is impeccable. Sima Yin, the master craftsman of Bingzao, pays attention to technology.

Among the three major military systems, Jinyang military system has unique advantages.He is in a leading position in ironmaking technology, and Sima Yin has been stationed in Jinyang for a long time. In his words, every batch of weapons produced is his child, and his name is engraved on him as a master craftsman. You have to watch them go out with your own eyes and show the infinite power of the Daqin standard weapons on the battlefield in a foreign land.

As for cavalry, Qin State, which has vast pastures in the north, is rich in war horses of different excellent breeds.Whether it is Mobei horse, Hetao horse, Hexi horse or sweat horse, they all have establishments in the Qin army.

The cavalry under Cao Xin's command came from the foot of Qilian Mountain, and the horses were provided to him by the Baiyang tribe.He has quite a lot of experience in horse herding.

——.

The Roman general Peetus was very excited.

The messenger brought back the news that the Qin people agreed to negotiate, which was an unexpected surprise. To the Romans, the mysterious country in the east was like a cloud of fog.It's very frustrating and frustrating.

How did those slippery and cool clothing materials come out? Is it really made of silk spit out by some insects?How can this be?

If you can subdue the Qin people in the negotiation.Perhaps more can be obtained from the road of wealth leading to the East. Thinking of this, Peterus only felt his blood boil.

The Gauls are really poor.

Among the provinces of the Roman Republic, Gaul is a remote and poor village. The wealthy manors on the Apennine Peninsula have nothing to do with them, and the fleets of sailing caravans in the Mediterranean have nothing to do with them.

It made him very confident in the outcome of the negotiation, and the people of Qin were obviously afraid. Otherwise, they would not have agreed to the negotiation for the first time.

have to say.

There is a world of difference between the thinking of Westerners and Easterners.And it was this difference that made Peterus have a problem with his judgment.

Since it was a negotiation, there were naturally still many procedures to go. After the back and forth between the messengers of both parties, the two parties finally agreed to choose the Golden Horn Bay, ten miles north of Constantinople, as the location.The distance from here to the two sides is about the same, and more importantly, it is close to the coastline, and the surroundings are unobstructed, so there is no possibility for any party to cheat.

——.

Golden Horn.

The cold current from the Black Sea and the warm current from the Mediterranean meet here, making the fishery here very rich in aquatic resources. The sea breeze at the end of February blows grains of yellow sand, and the seagulls in mid-air are looking for food and flying around. In the past, they had to compete with color Fishermen in Reyes fight for their game together, and this year they don't have to.

The Thracians were severely injured by the Qin army. After losing Constantinople, they had to flee to the northern Black Sea fishing grounds, where the Slavs, who were more fierce than them, would not be merciful and wait for the Thracians. What is more brutal is the competition for national survival.

Two hours ahead of schedule, Peterus led five hundred Roman warriors to the Golden Horn. 500 people is the number agreed upon by the two parties, no more, no less, exactly 1000 soldiers from both sides, the formation on the beach of the Golden Horn Bay will not appear too crowded.

Behind Peterus, all Gaul warriors wore bronze breastplates and held oval shields in their hands. In their hands, they each held a short spear with a sharp tip. Spears are called "javelins" in the West. Its penetration is more powerful than bows and arrows. In terms of shooting range, due to the strong arm strength of the Romans, the throwing trajectory of the javelins is not much shorter than that of Qin's machine crossbows. In terms of strength, once the javelin is pierced, it will be seriously injured even if it is not dead.

Shortly after the arrival of the Romans, the Qin army oppressed them with a dense momentum.Compared with the bright red armor of the Romans, the uniform black of the Qin army feels really depressing.

From a distance, Peterus saw a black figure coming towards the front of the team, and was about to shout out a question, but he saw a big man with a black tower staring at him with a pair of ring eyes.

Great Qin and Rome.

Races and languages ​​vary.

This kind of negotiation, if there is no interpreter in the middle, it will be a chicken talking with a duck, and there is no way to talk together.Fortunately, the Roman merchants who traveled to and from Qin could find a few, and with their translations, this conversation between the two fierce generals could continue.

However, due to various objective reasons, this meeting between the two parties can only be like the foreign guests meeting we saw on TV. Basically, we can only feel the emotions of both parties. As for what to say, it is really not so important.

As soon as Peterus came up, he opened his mouth wide and said: "Constantinople is the territory of the Thracians, and the Great Rome led the army to come this time because of the invitation of the Thracians, and it was taken back by the Qin Dynasty." The territory illegally occupied by China, so if Qin is sensible, immediately withdraw the army to the east bank of the strait, otherwise——!"

Regarding this statement, Cao Xin laughed a few times unceremoniously: "The invitation from the Thracian, hehe, here is the general, but there is a personal promise from the chief of Thracian, and there is also a signed transfer agreement, Constant Now Dingbao is rightfully my land in Great Qin, and no one can cheat and leave."

"The land of Great Qin? When did the Thracians agree to—" Peterus heard the hesitant message from the Roman translator, and the veins on his forehead immediately protruded.

The expansion strategy of the Roman Republic has long been decided. The entire eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea will be the territory of the Romans in the future. Whether it is Macedonia or Ptolemy, they will all become slaves of the Romans.Peterus has even been thinking about whether it is better to take the area of ​​Egypt or the area of ​​the Balkans as his territory.But in this sensitive period, the Qin people suddenly stepped in, making the wishful thinking of the Romans come to nothing.

Just as Peterus was in a rage, Adhelia, a Thracian general, was dragged out from the middle of the ranks by soldiers of the Qin army, but Adesire's face was bruised and purple. One piece, obviously the people of Qin didn't give him good fruit to eat.

"This is Adhelia, the chieftain of Constantinople in Thrace. If you have anything to say, you Romans can just ask him to see if what this general said is true or not?" Cao Xin's face darkened. , shouted.

Hearing Cao Xin's shout and question, Adhelia's body trembled. Last night, he spent a good night with the Qin general. The "shamelessness" of the Qin people made him deeply understand again. Not only the visible trauma on his face, but also an invisible deep scar on his buttocks.

"What General Cao said is true. I, the Adheria Tribe of Thrace, are willing to accept Daqin as the new lord. From then on, I will never betray you." Adlicia nodded repeatedly and promised, forced by the situation , on his back, two sharp knives were stuck in his waist. If he didn't answer the Qin people satisfactorily, he would be killed immediately.

"Huh! You are so intimidating, what kind of a hero are you? If you have the ability, dare to fight with my great Roman warrior. If you lose, I, Peterus, will withdraw my troops immediately without saying a word. If we win, then It’s a big deal, and I ask the general to give up the city of Constantine.” Peterus rolled his eyes and said anxiously.General Qin on the other side looked like a reckless warrior, if he could not negotiate peacefully, then try threatening with force.

Cao Xin was furious, and said: "Why should we give up the city if we lose? If you lose, you can retreat back comfortably. Then leave the weapons and armor for me, and then run back with bare buttocks. Do you think so?” (To be continued..)
