Baishawar, the capital of Kushan, the White Jade Palace.
Pang Jap sent a general to return to the capital and report the news of Wang Qian's assassination to Yingzheng, who had just ascended the throne.
"What, Wang Jian was assassinated by an assassin sent by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty" Qin Xin Shi Huang, who had just ascended the throne for a few days, couldn't help but feel dizzy after getting the bad news, as if he had been hit on the door of his head by a dull stick, his eyes were black, his ears were roaring, and he only felt that the hall was in chaos, and he couldn't hear what the ministers were saying.
The reaction of the full hall of civil and military personnel was not much better, because Ying Zheng wantonly eliminated dissidents and slaughtered the former ministers of Hubi II, at least half of the more than 60 senior civil and military officers in the entire hall were newly promoted, and they were suddenly shocked by the shocking news, and they shook their hands and feet one by one, and they were at a loss to talk about it.
"General Wang Jian is the most outstanding commander of our Great Qin, and the Peacock Kingdom that our Guishan Army can fight can survive, and it can resist peace in the north and shake the barbarians in the east, thanks to the power of General Wang Qian.
I didn't expect to die at the hands of the Assassins, how can this be good?"
"After the two generals Meng Tian and Wang Ben died in battle, General Wang Jian was the pillar of my Great Qin, but I didn't expect to die like this, it was simply the death of Great Qin."
"Alas, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to complain again, General Wang Jian is dead, and he can only pin his hopes on the soldiers.
I hope that General Wu Yuan can turn the tide and block the advance of the Han army on Kyoto."
"Although General Wu Yuan is good, but compared to General Wang Jian is a lot worse, not to mention that it is difficult to defeat the dead hand with two fists, then Wu Qi, Su Lie, and Caesar's ability to use troops is full of tricks, if Wang Qian, Wang Ben and his son or Meng Tian get one of them, my Daqin may still have hope of winning, and I am afraid that there is little hope by relying on the soldiers alone."
The entire hall was noisy, and the civil and military officials exchanged their heads like they knew each other in the summer tree, except for the shock of Wang Qian's death, almost all of them were pessimistic and desperate.
In the midst of the panic and lamentation, a sharp and abrupt laugh suddenly sounded in the hall: "Haha, the Han people have a saying that is too good, the cycle of heavenly retribution is not happy, you are a traitor who deceives the king, I didn't expect your general to die so quickly, you never dreamed that you would be beaten into Peshawar by the Han people before you sat firmly on the emperor's throne."
Everyone looked at it in amazement, and the person who spoke was the Chancellor of the Exchequer Flat, who was laughing and scolding Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng was awakened by Flat's sharp ridicule, and couldn't help but be furious, untied the saber from his waist and threw it, full of strength, hitting Flatt in the chest, spurting blood wildly, covering the wound and scolding: "Ying Zheng, you traitor has betrayed the trust of the first emperor, I can't protect the emperor, I have more than enough to die, but I have no face to see the first emperor under Jiuquan."
Ying Zheng was like a wounded hero, standing on the main hall with his hands on his hips, staring at the civil and military forces under the hall with fierce eyes, and shouted loudly: "Although Wang Jian is dead, but my Daqin's troops are still there, as long as the soldiers fight to the death, it is still unknown who will die from today onwards, who dares to raise the prestige of others and destroy their own ambition, and the end will be like this Flat."
Qin Shi Huang was still angry after killing Flat, and summoned Zhou Panlong to come out of the ranks, ordering him to lead 3,000 armor soldiers to surround Flat's mansion, behead all his people for public display, and confiscate all the slaves and servants in the family.
After Zhou Panlong left, Prime Minister Li Si, who had been silent, came out and said: "Your Majesty, please take a break from the wrath of the thunder, Wang Qian's death is a huge blow to my Great Qin, this is an indisputable fact.
Although General Wu Yuan is also a good general, there is still a big gap compared to Wang Qianlai, not to mention that with the death of Wang Qian's father and son, and Meng Tian, my Daqin has fallen and the talent has withered.
If you want to turn the tide and help the building to fall, you can only ask for help from other countries."
Ying Zheng tried his best to restrain his anger, sat back on the emperor's throne, and said solemnly: "I have already sent Ruan Weng Zhong to contact the Western Han Dynasty, but I have been there for more than a year, and I don't know whether I am alive or dead.
Besides, I heard that the Western Han Dynasty has already crossed the river with mud bodhisattvas, and it is difficult to protect itself, so I am afraid that I will not be able to count on it."
"Your Majesty, don't count on the east, you should borrow troops from the west" Li Si held the wat board in his hand and pointed to the west.
Yingzheng, who was wearing a black dragon robe and wearing the emperor's crown, heard the words like an enlightenment, and stroked his beard and said: "The prime minister is talking about the Rest Empire" Li Si nodded: "Wechen is talking about the Rest Empire, but it doesn't just include the rest of the Empire, if necessary, we can even ask the Roman Empire for help." ” "Roman Empire" Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "Then the Roman Empire is now in addition to Emperor Commodus, and the one who is the most successful is Zai Heng Liu Bang."
It is said that he is a direct descendant of Liu Bang, whose ancestor fled to the Roman Empire with his retinue because of Wang Mang's rebellion, and gradually controlled the power of the Roman Empire after more than 200 years of development.
And we are the descendants of Great Qin, but you let me ask Liu Bang's descendants for help, isn't it ridiculous to seek skin with the tiger?"
Li Si held the wat board in his hand and shook his head with great ambition: "It's not ridiculous at all, Liu Bang's ultimate goal is to enter the Han Empire and regain the world from Liu Xiu's descendants, so Liu Bang's biggest enemy is Liu Bian."
And Liu Wei is the enemy of our Great Qin, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so Weichen thinks that Liu Bang sent troops to rescue our Great Qin, which is not a fantasy."
After listening to Li Si's analysis, all the civil and military officers in the hall gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still the prime minister's foresight, according to the prime minister's analysis, the Roman army is even more likely to come to the rescue than Anxi, and I am a great Qin."
Li Si continued to analyze: "The current state of rest is not much better than that of our Kushan, whose predicament is that it has been invaded by foreign races.
And the biggest hidden danger of rest is the melee of the princes.
At present, Xiang Yu of Great Xia has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the great battle between Alexander, the king of Babylon, who also has 200,000 soldiers and horses, is about to break out.
Therefore, compared with the two, the army of the Roman Empire has a greater possibility of sending troops to rescue our Great Qin."
The high-ranking Yingzheng mood has completely calmed down, and he stroked his beard and muttered: "The prime minister is reasonable, the population of the entire Anshan Empire is 9.5 million, which is much worse than our Guishan heyday.
Expecting them to withstand the invasion of the Han army is not very hopeful.
If Xiang Yu and Alexander fight to defeat both, it may allow the Han army to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
If you want to stop the Han Chinese, you have to count on the mighty Roman Empire."
During the same period, the Han Empire, one of the world's four major empires, had a population of 64 million at its peak, and after two decades of turmoil, it fell to more than 40 million.
In comparison, the current political situation of the Roman Empire is quite stable, and it can even be called a golden age, under the efforts of the "Five Wise Emperors" of the Roman Empire, Rome's economy and population have reached their peak, with the highest population record of 45 million, which is almost on par with the current Han Empire.
The Five Wise Emperors of Rome began with Nerva and Trajan and passed to the hands of Marcus Aurelius, and after more than 100 years of development, the Roman Empire was in the most powerful golden age.
But twenty-four years ago, almost at the same time as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Aurelius, the last of the Five Wise Emperors of Rome, died and was taken over by his adopted son, Mark Commodus.
God was indeed fair, and when the Han Empire, Kushan, and Anxi were in dire straits, Rome did not leave Rome alone.
The newly succeeded Commodus was slightly worse than his father Ollie, and he was not much better than the Ling Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Hubi Sega of the Kushan.
During these twenty years, the Roman Empire gradually declined, domestic contradictions began to become prominent, conflicts between various ethnic groups from time to time, various princes began to cultivate private troops, and the military generals of the imperial court began to divide military power, and the contradictions between the Roman pope became increasingly acute.
Especially under the mediation of Liu Bang, a self-proclaimed minister with a rogue personality, the regime in Rome became even more turbulent.
Fortunately, the foundation laid by the five wise emperors of Rome is still there, although the ministers and princes from all walks of life are intrigued and self-respecting, they still have to respect the monarch Mark Commodus on the surface, so that Rome has not yet broken out a large-scale war, the population is still about 40 million, and the army controlled by the princes and the court in the whole territory is nearly 1.5 million.

After the meeting, Ying Zheng made a final decision to appoint Pang Japu to replace Wang Jian in charge of the army, guarding Hua's city against Wu Qi's attack.
At the same time, a number of ministers who were able to speak well and carried heavy money went to Rome to lobby the Roman Emperor Commodus, Zai Heng Liu Bang, and Pope Constantine, hoping to persuade Rome to send troops to rescue Daqin.
After sending an envoy to Rome, Yingzheng sent an envoy to Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sabbath country, with heavy gifts, to ask for help from Emperor Vologis V.
Moreover, he also sent envoys to meet with Alexander, the king of Babylon, and Xiang Yu, the monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom, hoping that the two sides could turn hostility into jade silk and jointly send troops to rescue Great Qin.
Between the vast world and the world, there was an endless stream of fast horses leaving the city from Peshawar, raising smoke and dust all the way, as if a world war was coming.
In the Han army camp thirty miles west of Hua's city, Wu Qi couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh after getting the news of Wang Qian's assassination: "Haha, this Nie Zhengcheng didn't deceive me, I didn't expect to really slaughter Wang Qian, it's really amazing, Wang Jian is dead, and the rest of the Guishan generals are not worried, and the soldiers are ready to fight to the death, and strive to capture Peshawar before Yue Fei and Huo Quji take Luoyang and Chang'an."
General Jiang Song clenched his fists and encouraged the army's heart and said: "What the governor said is extremely true, although we are far away from the country, we must not lose to the soldiers under Yue Zhengxi, and vow to take Peshawar first and capture Yingzheng, a guy who deceives the world and steals fame." t1706231537:
