Province of Gaul.
When the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater of Operations, Hezi, received the news of a request for help from the Italian provinces, it was already July.
At this time, the Wu army was making a final fight to storm the city of Rome.
He Qi immediately gathered all the generals under his command, and even summoned back the Yellow Gai troops stationed in the southern part of Gaul Province.
"Commander-in-chief, what the hell is going on" Huang Gai was encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Gallic governor in the jungle where the southern and western teeth converged, and suddenly asked He Qi to send him back with an order, and he was a little puzzled in his heart.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but we have to change our combat strategy in the third theater next."
He Qi faced the generals and said calmly.
"What" When the generals heard this, they felt a little strange.
"Listen, now I declare in the name of the commander-in-chief that we are going to change the strategy of the third theater of operations."
He Qi did not talk about the war situation in Italy, at this time he could not damage his morale, he just used the power of the commander-in-chief of the generals to concentrate his troops to march to Italy, and dared to form a rescue before Sun Quan's army was defeated, and received them from the Italian province.
"From now on, the Flame Legion and the Koto Legion will advance with all their might towards the Italian provinces" He Qi said categorically.
"Why" "It's too dangerous" "We don't even have a firm foothold in Gaul now, and it's easy for the Romans to fight back" "A little too rushed" When the generals heard this, most of them were puzzled and disagreed.
But He Qi's opinion was very firm, and he was not affected by their opinion in the slightest, and said very strongly: "I have already decided on this matter, and no one shall have any objections, and I will give you five days, within five days, so the troops in Gaul must advance to the southeast, and if anyone disrespects the military orders of the general headquarters, there will be no forgiveness."
"What about the cities we occupy?"
"Waiver" "What if the Roman army in Gaul made a comeback" "Avoid" He Qi answered these questions of the generals neatly, and his firmness was unquestionable, which made the faces of the generals become much more solemn.
"Now, go and prepare at once, gather your troops in the shortest possible time, and march to the Italian provinces of the Roman Empire in the fastest possible time," He Qi said in a deep voice.
From Gaul to Italy, the distance is not far, but it also has to pass through Narbang, and if an army of hundreds of thousands marches, it will take at least half a month.
He didn't know how long the main force of the Wu army, which had fallen into the trap of Rome, could hold out, and he had to quickly pull out the camp.
Because the main force of the trapped Wu army was too important for the imperial court.
Even if the whole army is wiped out, the Wu army will only be seriously injured at most, and the Great Wu Dynasty, which has a population of 80 million, will not be overwhelmed, but if Sun Quan in the army is captured and killed, then the Great Wu court will be in a state of disintegration.
"Obedience" The majesty of He Qi in the Third War Zone was too heavy, and although the generals were a little puzzled about the reason for the temporary change of strategy, they did not dare to disobey the military order.
The commander-in-chief of the theater has the power to draw up a strategy for advancing troops on an ad hoc basis.
If you disobey military orders, you will be subject to the military trial of the Judge Advocate General's Department.
The generals went to prepare, and Huang Gai and the general Zang Ba stayed.
"Commander-in-chief, what is going on" In Huang Gai's eyes, He Qi is a calm and cautious, cautious, and always a confident general, but this time's impatient change strategy does not conform to his usual style.
"Severus is not dead" He Qi did not hide from Huang Gai and Zang Ba: "The city of Rome is a trap, Your Majesty is now in danger, the closest to Italy is our soldiers and horses, after all, the soldiers and horses in the fourth theater are still in the south, and they can't come up at all."
"The Roman Emperor Severus actually pretended to be dead" "Your Majesty is in danger" Huang Zhong and Zang Ba's faces changed greatly.
"So we must rush to the Italian province as soon as possible to meet His Majesty's main force," He Qi said categorically.
"Yes" The two understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded hurriedly.
"Zang Ba" "In" "If you want to gather an army, it will take time, you immediately lead an army now, as a vanguard army, one step ahead, and open the way forward" "No" Zang Ba nodded.
"Your Majesty, you must hold on" He Qi stood up, and there was a hint of melancholy behind his eyes.
Jinyiwei's operation in the Roman Empire for many years has still been somewhat effective, although the main force was surrounded, but the news still spread, and the Sea Eagle Legion in the Greek sea also received a signal for help.
"Damn, how can this be" Commander Zhou Tai had a gloomy face, standing on the deck, looking at the flying pigeon biography from the unique mark of the brocade guard.
"Commander, what's wrong?"
One-armed Ling Cao asked.
"Your Majesty has something wrong" Zhou Tai didn't hide it from Ling Cao, and handed him Jin Yiwei's distress letter.
"How is it possible" Ling Cao couldn't believe it.
"I also think it's impossible, but Jinyiwei even sent a distress signal, I'd rather believe it than believe it, after all, Your Majesty is now in the army of the Western Expedition" Zhou Tai said.
"But we are far away in Greece, how to rescue" "Greece is also a road to the East for Italy, whether Your Majesty can rush out or not, we can't reach it, but now, we must take this retreat" Zhou Tai immediately gathered all the fleets.
"Sons, we're going to have a tough battle next" Zhou Tai knew that he couldn't save the fire from far away, so he could only rescue from the curve, sit firmly in Greece, and take over the main force, so he gave a death order: "Within ten days, I will take Greece" "Ten days, it's too urgent."
"This Italian legion of the Roman army is not easy to deal with" "It's a hard bone, we've all been gnawing for months and we've not been able to break them, and now it's even harder to deal with" The generals were unclear, and they were a little surprised by Zhou Tai's impatience.
"This is the military order, there is no room for bargaining" Zhou Tai said toughly.
"Yes" The generals immediately had serious faces and responded loudly.
As the first admiral of the navy, Zhou Tai has been in control of the Sea Eagle Legion for too long, and in this legion, he is full of words and does not allow anyone to refute it. \ The outcome of a war is not only victory, but also defeat.
In this battle, the Wu army suffered a big defeat that it had not eaten for many years.

Sun Quan knew that he had to bear the consequences of this defeat, and the worst result was that he, the Great Wu Monarch, would be broken here, and once he was broken here, the vast territory of the Great Wu Dynasty would face a collapse.
The snake has no head and does not walk.
The Great Wu Dynasty was very powerful, with a population of more than 80 million, and its vast territory included the entire Southeast Asia and the American continent.
After all, it didn't take many years for the Great Wu Dynasty to pacify the troubled times.
The background of the imperial court is insufficient, and the people's recognition of the imperial court is insufficient.
Once there is a big change.
Those who are ambitious are bound to change.
Sun Quan would not allow such a thing to happen.
So he chose to let Li Ru return to the court first, and escorted Sun Dong and Cao Chong back, this is a trick for him, not only to suppress Sun Bofu, but also an arrangement for the future, I just hope it will not be used.
After Sun Quan explained everything, and then let Li Ru leave quietly, he tidied up his robe, and did not go straight to the Chinese army camp to discuss the breakthrough situation.
He first went to a makeshift medical camp.
"Pain" "Legs, can I keep my legs?"
"Doctor, I can't stand it anymore, you give me a good time" "I don't want to die, you must save me, military doctor" "Intercept it, military doctor, I know that this arm can't be saved, and it's in the way to keep it, so I'd better sawn him off, at least I can save my life" “” There were only a few tents in a makeshift medical camp, and most of the wounded soldiers were exposed in the wilderness, and wailing everywhere.
The battle was too tragic, and there were too many wounded soldiers.
Sun Quan took Zhuge Jin and walked in, looking at the wounded soldiers lying on the wooden bed or on the ground with a happy look of not wanting to live, and there was a touch of sadness and helplessness in his expression.
"Your Majesty" It was Hua Tuo who walked up on the front.
Hua Tuo was the first doctor of external injuries in the Great Wu Dynasty, so he said to the people who were marching and fighting, he was the best military doctor, and this time Sun Quan was ready to go west, so he was specially recruited by Sun Quan to enlist in the army, and in the name of the chief general of the military doctor, he controlled the entire military medical battalion.
"Yuanhua, how is the condition of the wounded soldiers?"
asked Sun Quan.
"Your Majesty, it's not that our military doctors are incompetent, but that we have too many wounded soldiers and too little medicine" Hua Tuo looked at Sun Quan and smiled bitterly: "Many soldiers can't be saved when they are brought in, and some of the rescued ones are not suitable for long-distance travel, I'm afraid it's useless to save them."
"The most important thing is that there are too many wounded soldiers, I'm afraid it will be a big problem for you to break through" Hua Tuo paused and added.
Once there are too many wounded soldiers, it will inevitably bring great trouble to the rapid march, and even drag down the breakthrough battle of the whole army.
"I will deal with this aspect, your responsibility is to save them, as long as you can save them, you must do your best, don't give up" Sun Quan said.
"Obedience" Hua Tuo nodded.
He is a healer, and the surrender of Eastern Wu from Cao Wei has little impact on him, and even changes to a bigger stage, so that he can exchange medical skills with Zhang Zhongjing and others, so that his medical skills can grow even more.
So he didn't have too much rejection of Sun Quan, but was a little grateful.
Sun Quan turned around before leaving the medical camp, and his mood became very heavy at this moment.
"Ziyu" "Your Majesty" Zhuge Jin walked up quickly.
"Arrange the strength of an army to escort these wounded soldiers, so that they must keep up with the speed of the breakthrough," Sun Quan instructed.
"Understood" Zhuge Jin nodded.
These wounded soldiers have become their greatest burden today.
But it's a burden that can't be thrown away.
Whether out of responsibility or not to affect the morale of the army, these wounded soldiers must not be left behind, even if they drag down the whole army, they must be taken away, after all, these are all lives.
However, when Sun Quan walked into the camp of the Chinese army, his expression was very relaxed, at this time he could not let these generals feel the slightest lack of self-confidence, losing self-confidence, it was equivalent to them losing their will to fight, without the will to fight, the soldiers would have no morale.
This is fatal for the battlefield.
Especially in the current situation, all of them are trapped in Roman territory, and if they have a little less morale, they will be surrounded and suppressed here and cannot be rushed.
Therefore, no matter what the situation, he, Sun Zhongmou, the emperor of the Great Wu Imperial Court, and the spiritual pillar of millions of soldiers of the Great Wu, must maintain the most prosperous self-confidence attitude.
"Your Majesty" "Meet Your Majesty" The generals hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"Sit" Sun Quan walked to the top and sat down, his green and transparent eyes with a hint of sharpness, swept over, and got straight to the point: "Is there a result?"
He asked about the breakout plan.
The situation is still very serious, and sophisticated planning can help break through.
"Your Majesty, we have some differences of opinion at the moment" "Time is running out for us, and opinions are divided" Sun Quan frowned, there was a hint of coldness between his expressions, and said.
They must not have stayed in this town for long, and must break through the first pass of the Italian encirclement before the Romans can pursue them.
"Your Majesty, at present, we have different opinions, whether to divide our troops to break through the siege, or concentrate the main force and go back the way we came," Lu Bu reported in a low voice.
"Division of Troops" When Sun Quan heard this, he asked: "How to divide the troops?"

"One of the troops and horses attracts the main force, and the other way, to the west, converges with the Third War Zone of the Gallic Province, and then returns to the Central Plains from the British Province," Zhou Yu replied.
"It means to die all the way, to struggle all the way to survive" Sun Quan understood, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, but there was a trace of helpless bitterness, and he asked again: "Who will send death, who will survive?"
"Anyone can die, but His Majesty must live" Zhuge Liang said categorically: "Your Majesty is the supreme of Great Wu, the king of 80 million people, and the pillar of the Great Wu court, so Your Majesty must not die here, the reason why we propose to divide our troops to break through is to let the Roman army not understand where Your Majesty's main force is, so that Your Majesty can break through smoothly."
Everyone in the generals present understands this truth, but the person who can say it cheekily is a loyal minister, and Zhuge Liang is now the perfect embodiment of his loyal subordinate temperament after he died with all his might.
"If we gather the main force and kill all the way out, is there still a chance to kill out" Sun Quan pondered for a while and asked.
"I'm afraid it's hard" Lu Bu sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's easy for us to get in, it's hard to get out, how many soldiers and horses are intercepting us in front, I don't know, but if we assume that the cities we pass by are closed and blocked out of the city, we will not be able to move an inch here, and when the main force of the Roman army behind pursues it, it will be a bloody battle, and even the whole army will be annihilated, it is also possible."
"What the Lord said was even true" "Dividing the army is the only way to do it now" The generals looked at each other, their expressions were not very comfortable, and even this basic self-confidence had been defeated by the Roman army.
Sun Quan was also a little helpless.
Although the Wu army won a hundred battles and was invincible, the soldiers of the Wu army were human beings and not gods after all, and after suffering several defeats in a row, in the face of the withering lives of their comrades-in-arms, they would also become depressed and lose their self-confidence and morale in battle.
"Then divide the troops" Sun Quan said in a deep voice.
Up to now, he can't be a compassionate saint, he can only be a ruthless battlefield commander, giving up the lives of some soldiers to save the lives of the main soldiers.
Without sacrifice, there can be no victory.
I don't know who said this, Sun Quan is deeply embodied in the bone marrow at this moment.
It's a tough choice.
But it was a choice that Sun Quan had to make.
Because he is the monarch of Great Wu.
"Have you figured out how to divide the troops?"
asked Sun Quanhuan, sweeping the faces of these generals with his eyes.
"This" When the generals heard this, they immediately fell silent.
There will be people who will survive with difficulty, and there will be people who will have to die generously. t1706231537:
