Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1095 A Long Way
Chapter 1110 A Long Way

"The fifth and last article, the Roman Empire must assure the Great Wei Empire that it will not sign any form of treaty with the Sassanian Empire privately. If the Roman Empire and the Sassanian Empire need to negotiate a peace due to the situation, the Great Wei Empire must be involved. !" Chang Wei gave a special explanation for this article: "Our Great Wei Empire is a peace-loving country. We will not easily start wars, but we don't want any country to provoke the Great Wei Empire. The interests of the Great Wei Empire cannot be violated. Even if the Roman Empire completely defeats the Sasanian Empire in the future, it must not support a puppet regime that is hostile to the Great Wei Empire. Once there is any move to stimulate or invade the Great Wei Empire, the Great Wei Empire will counteract it, and of course this includes war. "

Theodosius and the others nodded in agreement.

Chang Wei said: "If the mission of the Roman Empire has no objection to this, then so be it. After the original treaty is drawn up, two originals, two copies and four copies will be made. Your envoy can sign the copies, and then bring the original back to the Roman Empire. , let His Majesty the Emperor of your country sign it, and the contract will officially become effective!"

"Your Excellency the Marquis, I have a question that I must ask!" Theodosius said, "It took us a full year and four months to reach the Great Wei Empire from the Roman Empire. Your Majesty the Emperor, sign the contract again, and we will come back and forth, and three years will pass, and the Roman Empire may not be able to wait for this time!"

Chang Wei said: "For the situation of the Roman Empire, our Great Wei Empire expresses deep sympathy and understanding. Of course, after your envoy signs, we regard the Roman Empire as having signed a formal contract. The weapons and equipment your country needs will be delivered after signing We will officially start the shipment starting today. Our Great Wei Empire will be responsible for transporting this batch of strategic materials by sea. Our Great Wei Empire will send warships from the Fourth Navy Detachment to escort the entire process. When the transport fleet arrives at the Aegean Bund, our Great Wei Empire will take over immediately. The city of Athens and its affiliated areas and ports, as long as His Majesty the Roman Emperor signs, our Great Wei Empire will deliver this batch of equipment to the Roman Empire."

Theodosius breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, so that the time would not be delayed for too long, and he could easily go back and forth from Athens to Constantinople in a month.

Although the Great Wei Empire already had corresponding strategic plans for the Roman Empire, all of these needed to be arranged and implemented slowly.However, the plan needs to be realized step by step.For now, the Great Wei Empire cannot persecute the Roman Empire too much, because in fact the Roman Empire is not without choice.In fact, the evil consequences of the Wei State's demise of the Heda Empire also began to appear at this time.You must know that there were five super empires in the original world, among which the Heda Empire was hostile to the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire at the same time.

Speaking of which, the Heda people are really kind. They invaded the Sasanian Empire westward, forcing the Sasanian Empire to deploy more than 4000 elite cavalry on the eastern border, and the northern border of the Gupta Empire, which is more than 60.00 miles long, was on the line. There are almost everywhere places where Heda people can speak. There is neither the Great Wall nor steep passes in the north of the Gupta Empire. Therefore, in order to guard against the Heda Empire, the Gupta Empire deployed [-]% of the elite troops of the Gupta Empire in the Gupta Empire. of the north.Now these millions of troops that have been liberated will undoubtedly allow the Gupta Empire to solve the problem of lack of troops.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Once the Wei Empire and the Roman Empire turned against each other, the Roman Empire could instead unite with the Gupta Empire. If the Roman Empire and the Gupta Empire were really united, then Wei would fall into a strategically passive situation.

Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of situation, the first step of the State of Wei was to set up a noose for the Roman Empire. Through a thousand military instructors, a large number of pro-Chinese Roman officers were trained in the Roman Empire, and then the city of Athens was used as the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty. The window of the empire, thus influencing more Romans to admire Chinese culture, and when the pro-Chinese Romans reach a certain number, when the pro-Chinese Roman officers reach a certain strength, let Valens return to the Roman Empire to inherit the throne of the Roman Empire, it should also be It was a matter of course.

The Great Wei Empire is a country that emphasizes integrity. When Theodosius signed the "Wei Luo Friendship Treaty" on behalf of the Roman Empire, boxes of Mingguang armors, horizontal knives, and bundles of crossbows were all moved out. Warehouses are loaded onto trains from warehouses in various places and transported to Buqigang.Although there are arsenals in various parts of the Wei Kingdom, the largest arsenal is actually in Yecheng, where there is always a stock of equipment capable of arming 20 horses at a time, followed by Luoyang and Chang'an, each capable of arming 10 horses, and the equipment of other states and counties. Not too many, tens of thousands of sets, sounds like a lot, in fact, this is not a weapon reserve, but a warehouse used to replenish war losses at any time.

When these equipment began to be sealed in front of the members of the Roman mission, loaded and shipped, the Roman Empire mission also formally made a request to return.Regardless of the cold weather and the monsoon, they were determined to return to the Roman Empire.

Regarding this matter, Ran Ming did not interfere, but only proposed that he would bring the imperial concubine Helena and the prince Valens to a banquet for all the members of the Roman Empire mission, as well as the Roman representatives of the State of Wei.

The war between the Roman Empire and the Sasanian Empire has aroused the close attention of the court of the State of Wei. With the signing of the treaty of friendship between the State of Wei and the Roman Empire, a large number of royal secret agents began to flock to the Roman Empire under the guise of various identities.The Wei court hoped that the war between the Sasanian Empire and the Roman Empire would turn into a quagmire.Let the Sasanian Empire and the Roman Empire be deeply involved, so that neither the Roman Empire nor the Sasanian Empire will be able to threaten the Great Wei Empire.Even if the two countries still pose a threat to Wei, this threat will be further weakened and reduced as the quagmire deepens.

Just after the signing of the friendship agreement between the Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire, the Wei State and the Sassanian Empire Mission also launched secret contacts. After a preliminary meeting, the representative of the Wei State expressed to the representative of the Sassanian Empire Mission implicitly that the Princess Helena of the Roman Empire The imperial concubine blew the pillow wind to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire. His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor loved beauties and did not love the country. He actually sold more than [-]% of Wei's military equipment to the Roman Empire at a half-buy, half-free price.

Hearing this news, the representative of the Sassanian Empire Mission broke out in a cold sweat. If the Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire unite to attack the Sasanian Empire from east to west, then it will really kill the Sasanian Empire.The messenger of the Sassanid Empire was named Artaxerxenubhir.Anyone who is familiar with Persian history knows that the surname Adaxerxes was once the royal surname of the Persian Empire, a serious senior nobleman.Although they were the royal family of the Persian Empire 800 years ago, people dare not underestimate them just because they were the royal family 800 years ago.The surname of Zhou Tianzi 800 years ago in China was Ji, one of the eight ancient surnames in ancient China, from which 411 surnames such as Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang, Lu, Cao, and Wei were derived[3] It accounts for 504% of the total 82 surnames in "Hundred Family Surnames", and there are countless surnames derived from these 411 surnames. The Ji surname is truly the "ancestor of all surnames".

Similarly, Adaxerxes is also an ancient surname of the Persian Empire, a veteran nobleman, with dozens of surnames derived from Adaxerxes. However, the Adaxerxes surname not only has a large number of people in Persia, but also has a very wide influence.As a veteran nobleman of the Persian Empire, Artaxerxenubhir also loved his country very much.Adaxerxen Nubi Hill immediately convened an emergency meeting with only one core topic: "If the Roman Empire signs an unfriendly treaty with the Great Wei Empire, what should the Sasanian Empire do? How should the Sasanian Empire contain the Great Wei Empire?" The Wei Empire, protecting the safety and interests of their Sasanian Empire.

After the Great Wei Empire fell to the Heda Empire, the only enemy around it was eliminated. From then on, the powerful Great Wei Empire could concentrate its strength on external expansion, and even become the struggle for world hegemony.This is undoubtedly a great threat to the Sasanian Empire.Once the Great Wei Empire really did that, the consequences would be very serious.

The Sasanian Empire has huge interests in Central Asia.The Sasanian Empire has long been coveted for these benefits.Since the Sasanian Empire solved the threat of the Heda Empire, it has set its sights on the Mesopotamia near the mouth.Although the Great Wei Empire and the Sasanian Empire did not declare war, the Sasanian Empire was completely surrounded by the Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire.

This is absolutely unacceptable for the Sasanian Empire.However, as a mission, the resources available are very limited.Therefore, facing the threat of the Great Wei Empire, the Sasanian Empire should and should find an ally.The Gupta Empire is the best choice.You must know that the relationship between the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire is actually not good.The royal family of the Gupta Empire, the Gupta family, was originally a small duke of the Guishuang Empire.However, as the Sasanian Empire replaced the Parthian Empire and gained control of the Persian Empire, a war against the Kushan Empire was launched.Under the attack of the Sassanian Empire, the powerful Guishuang Empire, which was listed as the world's four major powers along with Han, Rome, and Parthia, began to perish.The Guishuang nobles who were exiled to the Gupta Empire became the Guishuang of the Gupta Empire. They had a hatred for the subjugation of the Sasanian Empire. Therefore, although the two countries have become world-class powers, they have very big contradictions.Even in the face of the common enemy, the aggression of the Heda Empire, the two countries have not united.It can be seen that the contradictions between the two countries are different.

However, the State of Wei did not deliberately hide the arms sales and the signing of the friendship treaty with the Roman Empire, so it was easy for Adaxerxenubhir to find out the news of the alliance between the State of Wei and the Roman Empire.

Artaxerxenubhir couldn't sit still anymore, he decided to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Sasanian Empire, and must put aside the past with the Gupta Empire and unanimously speak out, otherwise the Sasanian Empire will be in danger of collapse.

These two countries, which originally had considerable conflicts, had to let go of their prejudices and come together for the time being.This is normal between countries.As long as it is for profit, even enemies can become friends.The Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire posed a serious threat to the Sasanian Empire, so it is understandable that they came together.

Of course, this is definitely not a good thing for the Great Wei Empire.Dealing with one of the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire, the Great Wei Empire may have no problem.However, if the Sasanian Empire and the Gupta Empire join hands, the problem will be more troublesome.

The military strength of the Gupta Empire is not strong, especially the cavalry, which has always been the shortcoming of the Gupta Empire. However, the Sasanian Empire is just the opposite. Their most powerful is the Persian cavalry of their Sasanian Empire. The Persian Sasanian Empire can use An army of no more than 20 elite cavalry has beaten the Roman Empire for more than 200 years, which shows how powerful the cavalry of the Sasanian Empire is.If the cavalry of the Persian Empire and the infantry of the Gupta Empire are allowed to fight together, and then cooperate with the war elephant troops of the Gupta Empire, it will be a very big trouble for Wei Guo.

Fortunately, there is still a long way to go for the Sasanian Empire to unite with the Gupta Empire.Writing to the emperor to change the national policy of the Sassanian Empire, Adaxerxenubhir actually had no idea. It would take a long time to return to the Sasanian Empire, at least two years. If His Majesty accepts his opinion, then It will take at least five or six years to see the effect, but after five or six years, the combined forces of the Wei State and the Roman Empire will be able to kill the Sasanian Empire.The top priority is to destroy the treaty of friendship between Wei and the Roman Empire.A trick came to Adaxerxenubhir's mind.

As an envoy, especially an envoy of a world superpower, it is the basic skill to be knowledgeable and multi-talented.Artaxerxenubhir had read "Book of Han", and he remembered a plot very clearly.That was Ban Gu's envoy to Shanshan. It happened that the Huns' envoys also arrived in Shanshan.

How similar was Ban Gu's situation to what he encountered today?So Artaxerxenubhir soon had the idea of ​​imitating Ban Gu.You must know that the Sasanian Empire mission led by Adaxerxenubhir was much stronger than Bangu's mission. It not only had more than 1000 elite guard soldiers, but also included entourage and slaves, and the number was close to [-].As for the situation of the Roman mission, Adaxerxenubhir knew a little bit about it.The Roman mission is not only small in number, but also has less than a hundred guards. With five to one, the Roman mission can definitely be easily cleaned up.As long as the members of the Roman mission are killed, the Roman Empire will no longer be able to form an alliance with the Great Wei Empire.

But the ideal is very full, but the reality is too cruel.Artaxerxenubhir is destined to be just wishful thinking. The Great Wei Empire is not Shanshan, a small country in the Western Regions, and it does not need to be like Shanshan. The country's foreign policy is to stand on eggs and dance.The Great Wei Empire is also a world superpower, and its strong national strength is the solid backing of the Great Wei Empire. Even if Adaxerxenubhir really had the chance to kill all the members of the Roman mission, the Great Wei Empire would explain the situation to the Roman Empire. Even if the Wei Empire did not have any evidence, saying that the Roman mission immediately died of madness, or was struck by lightning, no matter how absurd the reason was, the Roman Empire would hold its nose and admit it.

This is major country diplomacy, and it is because of necessity.

What's more, after careful analysis of Artaxerxenubhir, he found sadly that he could not attack the Roman Empire mission at all.All foreign armed personnel who entered the territory of Wei State were all enforced by Wei State's border defense policy. Under such circumstances, opening the seal means that they will be severely punished by the laws of the State of Wei, and the State of Wei does not have any diplomatic immunity for other countries.

It’s okay to be unable to use your own weapons and weapons. Wei State does not restrict weapons, and it is easy to buy weapons in Wei State. However, Wei State is not a small country in the Western Regions, and any missions are strictly protected in Wei State. .Outside the Roman garrison was a company of heavily armed Janissaries, while the Sasanian mission was surrounded by a Battalion of Janissaries.It is impossible for them to walk out of the station without anyone noticing.

Artaxerxenubhir sadly found that he could not imitate Ban Gu at all. Wei Guo neither gave him a loophole to take advantage of, nor did he have the opportunity to implement this action.The garrison of an armed infantry battalion is on the outskirts of the garrison. Once the sentry calls for support, there is a cavalry regiment about ten miles away from Honglu Temple. Once they receive the news, they can travel within the time of a stick of incense and surround Honglu Temple at most a quarter of an hour .Moreover, these Persian cavalry did not have war horses in the Honglu Temple, and it was impossible for them to break through the encirclement of a battalion of the imperial guards of Wei.

"I didn't expect that the Wei people's defense is so tight!" Adaxerxenubhir said a little depressed: "I originally wanted to follow the example of Ban Gu, but it seems that there is no chance to implement this at all!"

Alsace Gambireta, deputy envoy of the Sasanian Empire mission, said: "After all, Ban Gu is a Han Chinese, and it is normal for them to guard against us imitating Ban Gu, but although we cannot imitate Ban Gu, it does not mean that we have to sit back and watch the Great Wei Empire and the Great Wei Empire. The Roman Empire forms an alliance. Once the Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire formally form an alliance, and the Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire learn from each other, the two countries will develop very quickly in the military field. In the future, the Great Wei Empire will become even stronger. It will undoubtedly be more difficult for us to defeat the Great Wei Empire. Count Artaxerxes, we cannot just sit back and watch the friendship between the Great Wei Empire and the Roman Empire continue to develop. We must find a way to curb their development. Especially the Roman Empire, they got 30 sets of Mingguang armor and 20 crossbows from the Great Wei Empire. As long as these equipments reach the Roman Empire and are equipped on the Roman army, then the advantage of our Persian cavalry will be Being offset can even reverse our battle with the Roman Empire. Even if we can mobilize nearly 20 elite cavalry from the Sassanid Empire to go west, I am afraid that we will not be the opponent of the Romans!"
