"Hey, this is the city of Rome, it's a dream, it's unimaginable."
After Su Qin and his entourage left Sofia, they galloped all the way, traveled more than 300 miles a day, and finally arrived outside the city of Rome in 12 days.
Different from the square city of the Han Dynasty, the Roman city standing in front of Su Qin's eyes is a city that is almost circular, with a city wall of about fifty or sixty miles in circumference, and seven hills such as Palatino and Capitoli stand in the city wall, so the ancient Roman city is also called the city of seven hills.
The Tiber River, with its clear water, flows around the city of Rome at the foot of the city and flows to the sea hundreds of miles away.
As far as the eye can see, all of them are white-skinned, yellow-haired, blue-eyed aliens.
"Hehe, in this place full of Romans, there can be compatriots like me who speak the same language, should Prime Minister Su feel lucky?"
The captain who escorted Su Qin to Rome, Condal, took the reins and walked side by side with Su Qin, and asked smugly while introducing the scenery and history of Rome to Su Qin.
Su Qin hurriedly laughed: "Haha, who said no, we Han people have a saying that the moon is the hometown round, and people are hometown relatives."
In this thousands of miles away in the city of Rome, I am so lucky to have a mulberry with the same skin and the same country accent to lead the way, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to move an inch."
"Hey, Prime Minister Su is wrong, it's us Han people," Kang Da smiled at Su Qin, "I am also a Han Chinese, because I participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising led by the great sage and good teacher, and after the defeat, I was desperate, so I took one hundred and ten brothers to take refuge in the Western Regions."
I heard that Rome Zai Heng was a descendant of Gaozu, so he came to Rome City after hardships and dangers, and won the trust of Lord Zai Heng and was assigned to General Liu Xiu as a captain. ” Su Qin suddenly had an epiphany: "Oh I see, I thought you were a descendant of the soldiers who came to Rome with the ancestors of Zai Heng two hundred years ago, it turned out that you only came to Rome in recent years, it is really disrespectful" A hint of hatred flashed across Kangda's face: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, the court established by Liu Xiu is rotten and dim, and the lives are ruined, so I have to follow the great sage and good master to overthrow it Although the great sage and good teacher failed, but we have found a new lord, he is the great Roman ruler Liu Bang, the direct descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, he is the orthodoxy of the Han family" Su Qin didn't have time to study the rights and wrongs of the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" with a little minion, and said with a smile: "Please let Captain Kang lead the way, let's go into the city to meet Lord Zai Heng."
As long as I facilitate the anti-Liu alliance, I will hopefully overthrow Liu Wei's court and avenge your great sages and good teachers."
"Driving" Kangda nodded, and spurred the horse forward to lead the way, and Su Qin followed closely with his entourage.
After passing through the arched city gates, you will have a panoramic view of the majestic city of Rome, with Western-style houses, tall Colosseum, spectacular churches, squares named after Roman emperors, towering triumphal arches, round memorial columns and other Western-style buildings everywhere, which makes people dazzled to see.
Along the way, passing through the bustling and lively streets of Rome, Su Qin was surprised that it was not uncommon for Han people with yellow skin, long black hair, and long robes and coats to be seen, and most of them spoke in a half-baked tone to communicate with the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Romans.
"Alas, I didn't expect that there were so many Han Chinese in the city of Rome," Su Qin was excited, as if he had discovered a new world.
Kangda said triumphantly: "Isn't it, the decaying Han Dynasty has been nearly twenty years since the Yellow Turban Uprising, and there have been fires everywhere, and there is no war every day, and many people who can not bear the war have traveled thousands of miles to the Roman Empire to seek a way out."
To this day, there are at least 2,000 Han Chinese living in the entire city of Rome, and thanks to the protection of Zaiheng, they all enjoy a high status in the city. ” Su Qin squeezed out a look of admiration: "Alas, I can't imagine that Lord Zai Heng has such energy, so that we Han people are not bullied in a foreign land, but are respected, which is really exciting."
Kangda's eyebrows fluttered and continued to boast: "That is, Lord Zai Heng is simply covering the sky with one hand in the Roman Empire, many people only know the name of Lord Zai Heng, but they don't know the name of the emperor, do you say that Lord Zai Heng is powerful?"
"I heard that there is another powerful person in the Roman Empire in addition to Lord Zaiheng, that is Pope Constantine, may I ask what is the relationship between the two" Su Qin's words changed, both like asking and like sarcasm, didn't you say that Liu Bang covered the sky with one hand, so would Constantine take Liu Bang in his eyes Kangda's face turned red for a while when he heard this, and he squeaked: "Well, because the number of people who believe in the Religion of God in Rome is huge and extremely loyal, and the Pope's followers are afraid that there are no less than 10 million, so Constantine is arrogant and domineering, and it is not too much to give Lord Zai Heng face." ” As he spoke, he came to Liu Bang's Zaiheng Mansion, only to see a forest of armor in front of the mansion, and fifty yellow-haired and blue-eyed men holding shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands.
"Prime Minister Su wait, let the villain go in and pass it on" Kangda turned over and dismounted, told Su Qin to wait for a while, and then strode into the mansion to ask Liu Bang for instructions.
After a cup of tea, an eight-foot-tall, dignified-looking Han general went out to greet him under the leadership of Kangda: "This general is under the command of Lord Zai Heng, Zhou Bo, and I heard that it is Su and Su Cheng of the Luoyang Imperial Court of the Han Kingdom."
Su Qin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It is Su Zhu of the Luoyang Imperial Court below, who came all the way to Rome to ask to see Lord Zai Heng, and if he has something important to tell him, he also hopes that General Zhou will lead the way." ” When Zhou Bo led the way, Su Qin followed closely behind, strode into Zaiheng Mansion, and went straight to the lobby.
Liu Bang, who was sitting in the center of the lobby, looked like he was about forty-five or sixteen years old, seven feet five inches tall, with a smile on his face, with a lingering atmosphere of market hooligans.
"Not only is the name the same as Gaozu, but even this appearance and behavior are simply Liu Ji's reincarnation" Su Qin muttered to himself in his heart, and then stepped forward to make a salute: "Presumably the above is Lord Zai Heng, Su Yu, the prime minister of the Lower Luoyang Imperial Court, is polite."
"Haha" Liu Bang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said in a weird way, "What kind of court is Luoyang, the pseudo-imperial court that usurped the emperor, it is not only Liu Hong and Liu Wei that the throne of their father and son is illegal, but Liu Xiu is also a transgressor, I am the direct descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, I am the orthodox successor of the Han Dynasty, and I am the true dragon son who is ordered by heaven."
Su Qin came to ask Liu Bang to form an alliance, so naturally he would not argue with him, he could say whatever he wanted, listen to him, and continue to bend down silently at the moment, letting Liu Bang splash.
"I once had a dream that I was cutting the white snake outside the city of Rome, so I am the reincarnation of Emperor Gaozu Xiao, and I am the ancestor of Liu Hong and Liu Bian, so I changed my name to Liu Bang My son is also the ancestor of Liu Bian, so I named him Liu Xiu" Liu Bang pinched his toothpick and scolded with foam, like a shrew scolding the street.
He is strong by him, and the breeze blows on the hills.
He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river Su Qin continued to listen with a smile on his face, Liu Bang scolded Liu Bian, he claimed to be Liu Bian's ancestor, and he had nothing to do with him, so let him scold him happily Seeing that Su Qin ignored him, Liu Bang sneezed: "Ah, it's okay, let's get down to business."
I received a flying pigeon message from Liu Xiu, saying that you traveled all the way from Luoyang to Rome to promote the anti-Liu alliance."
"Exactly" Su Qin slowly raised his head, and replied sonorously and forcefully.
Liu Bang stroked the eight-character Hu Yangtian on his lips and laughed: "Why should I ally with Alexander and Xiang Yu, these local chickens and dogs?"
"Just because Lord Zai Heng came uninvited and took the initiative to send troops to rest in peace, I believe that Zai Heng will definitely agree to form an alliance" Su Qin bowed to Liu Bang again, his eyes full of confidence.
Liu Bangwei laughed: "Hmph, don't tell lies in front of real people, and I'm not afraid to tell you, this time I sent Liu Xiu to rest in peace with two purposes, one is to force Babylon and Daxia to submit to Rome, I will help them repel the Han army."
If you can't, you will fall into the well, attack the Han army from east to west, and take the opportunity to divide up the rest."
Su Qin also laughed: "If Zai Heng does this, it will be easy to carve up and rest, but how can Zai Heng regain the lost Han dynasty and re-set foot on the land of Chang'an, and when he dies in peace, Liu Wei has swept away the country, annihilated Li Tang, and millions of Han troops are pouring out to attack, just like Mount Tai pressing the top, how can Lord Zai Heng resist such a super empire when the time comes" Liu Bang rolled his eyes, and said simply: "Sure enough, it is a sword with iron teeth and copper teeth, I was persuaded by you and agreed to form an alliance."
"Thank you, Lord Zaiheng" Su Qin was overjoyed and bowed.
Liu Bang waved his hand: "Don't thank you so early, I haven't finished my words yet, I'm afraid you can't be the master" "Su has reached an agreement with King Alexander when he came, King Xiang's side has basically settled, Li Tang and Cao Wei are even more eager, as long as Lord Zai Heng nods, the alliance will be reached" Su Qin Chang shook his head to the ground, and his words were sincere.
Liu Bang was not in a hurry, his face was leisurely, and he said lazily: "It's not difficult for me to nod and agree, I have only one condition for Alexander and Xiang Yu, as long as the two of them agree, the alliance will be established, and everyone can work together to deal with the Han army and counterattack Liu Wei's country." ” "I don't know what conditions Lord Zai Heng has," Su Qin asked with a wary frown. t1706231537:
