Sun Quan came day and night all the way, and since he knew that the Eastern Theater took the initiative to fight, he was a little uneasy, so he was in a hurry.
For him, a person who has been in the center all the year round, even if he has some martial arts, he can't withstand such a long march, and when he arrives in Byzantium, he is somewhat tired, so after entering the Byzantine city-state, he spent three days to recuperate.
Three days later, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, restored his former spirited appearance, and began to think about the next battle with the Roman army.
At this time, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Tai, who had rushed back from the Greek battlefield, had also entered the Byzantine city-state.
And Zhou Yu, chief of the general staff of the Southern Theater, and Huang Gai, commander of the Jiangdong Army Corps, the representative of the Western Theater, have also come to the Byzantine city-state and waited for Sun Quan's summons.
The three major theaters of war are considered to be gathered in a sense, and the pre-war general conference of the Great Wu Dynasty against the Roman Empire is about to be held.
But before the pre-war meeting, Sun Quan summoned Zhuge Liang alone.
He is now more and more important to Zhuge Liang, and now Zhuge Kongming has fully exerted his wisdom to the peak, and in military strategy, he is becoming more and more outstanding, especially the battle in Greece, which is completely an unexpected surprise for Sun Quan.
He thought that Zhuge Liang would be able to escape.
But Zhuge Liang struck a backhand, with the strength of two armies and a cavalry regiment, he challenged the three Roman legions, played with them and applauded, and finally disabled the entire Greek legion, this battle was too beautiful.
"The last general Zhuge Liang, meet His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
In a large hall, Zhuge Liang walked in and bowed to Sun Quan who was sitting cross-legged.
"Sit" Sun Quan raised his head, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, you have surprised me, I am very satisfied with your battle in Greece, so I think I should give you some rewards to boost the hearts of the army, what reward do you want, I can afford it."
In fact, this battle was only a local battle.
However, the outcome of this battle was crucial to the opening of the Roman battlefield, Zhuge Liang sat firmly in southern Greece, and the route of Wu's army would not be limited to the front, and it could attack from the flank, and the two lines would be doubled with half the effort.
The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang used very few troops to fight this battle, and in addition to involving the main force to create fighters for Pan Feng, he also won more with less and seized southern Greece strongly, which can be described as a classic, and it is definitely a good weight that can enhance the morale of the army.
"Your Majesty, the last general is just doing his duty, being loyal to the imperial court, and strategizing for the Eastern Theater, which is the duty of the Chief of General Staff of the Eastern Theater, and does not ask for His Majesty's reward."
"Haha" When Sun Quan heard this, he pointed at Zhuge Liang and laughed: "Talking to a person like you, I also have to learn to write crepe, I have always had clear rewards and punishments, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be punished, this is the rule of the imperial court, no one can be an exception, you refuse me, it won't be because I want me to give you three rewards and three refusals."
"The Last General Never Meant That" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "If Your Majesty insists on rewarding the last general, the last general will have something to ask for."
"Say" "The end of this life is frank, never have a loss, the only regret, serve the two masters and the world, this is fate, the end will not dare to complain, the end of the general since entering Wu, for Wu and the battle, the battlefield self-questioning, never sorry for the court half a point, the only heart loss, sorry for the trust of the first lord Liu Bei, the last general of the Nanyang village, the first lord of the care, the world is famous, so the end of the general today courageous, pray to Your Majesty, for the Xichuan Gong to get a land, blessing the descendants" Xichuan Duke Liu Chan Liu Adou was only the Marquis of Xichuan, but over the years, the establishment of Xichuan generals has made a lot of contributions, and he is also quite indebted, especially Zhuge Liang and Chen Zhi, two fierce generals, thinking about him in everything, so the merits are piled up, and there is a three-rank Duke Xichuan Gong.
"Kong Ming, you think about his Liu Bei's son, why don't you think about your own son, Zhuge Zhan is also starting to grow up, don't you want to find a background for him?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he was not surprised, a playful smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile and asked.
The two sons of the Zhuge family began to emerge.
Zhuge Jin's eldest son Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Liang's eldest son Zhuge Zhan, are all quite talented people among the young generation, as long as they go through the imperial examination, it is a matter of time before they become officials in the court.
"Your Majesty, I'm Zhuge Yimen, and now I'm a nobleman of Great Wu, if he has this platform, he can't dance the world, it's his own ability," Zhuge Liang said calmly.
He's telling the truth.
Zhuge is a family, Zhuge Jin has been ranked among the thirteen courtiers of the imperial court, a very popular minister, he Zhuge Liang is the minister of military aircraft, based on the military, as long as this battle does not die, it will inevitably be one of the military giants in the future, and Zhuge Jun, the youngest of the Zhuge family, has also become Sun Quan's confidant, and he has become one of the cabinet ministers, which can be described as the most prosperous.
His son Zhuge Zhan can't come out if he has such a stage, what can he say.
"What a Zhuge Kongming, he Liu Xuande has your assistance, what an honor" Sun Quan sighed, in history, Zhuge Liang was able to assist Liu Bei to achieve great causes, it was really not a fluke, Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was desperate for Liu Bei, this is the biggest root.
"Row" Sun Quan agreed: "You have defeated the southern part of Greece, I will be in charge today, and I will be the territory of Xichuan Kingdom, as long as he Liu Chan has passed the crown ceremony, I will allow him to establish Xichuan."
"The last general on behalf of the Duke of Xichuan, thank Your Majesty for the reward, may my emperor live long live long live" Zhuge Liang bowed his head and bowed sincerely.
A big stone in his heart can be regarded as completely let go, and since then, he no longer owes anyone anything.
"Zhuge Kongming, I have a knot in my heart today, but in the future, I don't want you to be in front of me for Liu Chan again, you can't trample on my bottom line, and I can't have other people's loyal ministers under my command, understand?"
Sun Quan still knocked this smart man.
"The last general will remember His Majesty's teachings, and dare not violate them in this life," Zhuge Liang said with a solemn expression.
"Very good" Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction, he didn't feel sorry for sending southern Greece out, anyway, he would reward the western land, if his hands were too long and his heart was insufficient, it would make the imperial court collapse, and this place would make Zhuge Liang die for him It was a big gain.
"Get Up" Sun Quan personally went to help Zhuge Liang up, and then the two walked to the front of the case, he pointed to the strategic deployment map on the screen, and said: "I personally summoned you before the pre-war meeting of the three major theaters, you are not here to reward you, I hope you can give me a peace of mind pill" "Your Majesty already has the strategic deployment of this battle in mind, why do you mean to ask the last general?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at the strategy map, pondered for a while, and asked.
"You can see my caution in this battle" "It can also be regarded as His Majesty's lack of confidence in this battle, right" Zhuge Liang squinted at Sun Quan, and his voice was faint.
"I hate talking to smart people, and I can't hide that little bit of caution."
Sun Quan glared at him.
Zhuge Liang was not wrong, the defeat in the past left a little shadow in his heart, so even if he had already made a strategic plan to attack Rome in his heart, he was still a little worried, and asked one adviser after another, hoping that they could give him confidence.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, and he doesn't punish ministers for his anger and anger, otherwise he wouldn't dare to speak at the end of today," Zhuge Liang said in a low voice.
"It's useless to flatter me, I'm also a cautious person, you sarcastically mocked me, I wrote it down, be careful that I put on small shoes for you in the future" Sun Quan said with a little snort.
"Your Majesty, the last general will approve Your Majesty's battle plan" Zhuge Liang said with a straight face: "In the past, we were too anxious to fail, with the national strength of the imperial court, with our troops, and with the combat effectiveness of our army, as long as this battle is stable enough, we will win."

"But you also know that people above the court don't think like this, if they delay for a year or two, they can afford it for two or three years, but what about three or five years, or ten or eight years, do you think the court meeting will let me fight?"
Sun Quan crossed his hands, the fingers of his right hand gently tapped the back of his left and right hands, and his eyes flashed in thought.
"Your Majesty, if you don't fight, how do you know that they will disagree" "Why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty only saw that the war would consume the national strength of Great Wu, but Your Majesty forgot that if we seize the territory of Rome and seize the population of Rome, we will not support the development of the imperial court at all."
Zhuge Liang said: "There is no one to support a war without interests, but as long as you see the interests, whether it is the ministers in the court or the public opinion of the representatives of the people, you will unconditionally support any decision of Your Majesty."
"This is the charm of plunder" Sun Quan understood, narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
In the Sino-Japanese War in later generations, Japan was just a small country, if it was with their national strength, they would not be able to afford the attrition on the Chinese battlefield, but with plunder, they could increase their troops year by year, and by virtue of plunder, they could make those families and ministers in Japan agree with the war.
"Your Majesty is for the unification of the world, for the sake of the world, this is a feat that no one has done, for the luck of the world, not for the despicability of plunder," Zhuge Liang said righteously.
"It doesn't matter what the purpose is, no one will explore if it is great or not, what matters is that what we do is indeed plunder" Sun Quan smiled: "It doesn't matter, I just care, there is only one purpose, to conquer Rome" He got an affirmation from Zhuge Liang, and it can be regarded as a little sorrow in his heart.
Following.
Midday.
The pre-war meeting was held in a church in the Byzantine city, which is a circular building, which is considered a more representative building in the Byzantine city, and was later requisitioned by the Wu army, and a military flag was planted in the place where the cross was placed in the past, and it became a military command center.
"I am fighting this battle with all the strength of Great Wu" Sun Quan bowed his head to the generals on the circular stone table, and his voice was resolute and unquestionable: "I have set an overall strategy for this battle, four words, step by step."
He had tried, wanting to conquer the Roman Empire in a war.
But as it turned out, he couldn't.
The battle of Rome was a shame for him, and it was also a sorrow for the Wu court, because this battle made the Wu army greatly injured and unable to continue the war.
He made a mistake once, and he won't make it a second time.
The Roman Empire cannot be underestimated, this empire that has dominated Europe for centuries can be described as a vast territory and a large population, and the Wu army came from an expedition, which originally lacked geographical advantages, and it must not be swallowed in one breath, so he needs to eat it bit by bit.
Even if this battle would take three or five years, seven or eight years, or ten years for the Great Wu Imperial Court, he didn't care.
"Step by step" "It means let's play slowly" "It's a bit not in line with the momentum of Your Majesty's army this time."
"Shouldn't we go straight to the city of Rome in one go?"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and many generals had doubts in their hearts.
"Eastern Battlefield, this year's goal, eat the Greek province and the Thracian province, before the winter, complete the strategy, can it be done" Sun Quan didn't give them a chance to react, made an arbitrary decision, and directly began to arrange tasks.
"The Last General Commands" Pan Feng stood up and arched his hand.
"What if you can't do it?"
"See you here" "Okay, I've got this head of yours written down."
Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Zhou Yu, who came to participate in the pre-war meeting on behalf of the Southern Theater, and continued: "The Southern Theater, from Egypt to the past, I want the entire southern part of Rome, Cyrenaica, the province of Africa, Mauritania, I want it, you must push the line of troops to the gate of the Spanish province before winter."
"The last general represents the Southern Theater of Operations and guarantees the completion of His Majesty's mission" Zhou Yu's calm voice had a hint of decisiveness.
"If you can't complete the task, it means that you can't afford the heavy responsibility of the Southern Theater, he Ju Yi went back to find a martial arts hall for the rest of his life, you Zhou Yu also took off this cloak" Sun Quan was very unreasonable and said very domineeringly.
"Obedience" Zhou Yu's face was expressionless, and he responded very confidently.
"Western Theater" Sun Quan's eyes fell on Huang Gai.
At this time, the Western Theater of Operations had already begun to mobilize troops.
He Qi and Guo Jia couldn't leave, so it was the commander of the Jiangdong Army who came from thousands of miles to participate in the meeting, Dawu Lao Jiang Huang Gai.
"There is only one mission, to regain lost territory" Sun Quan has some needs for the Western Theater, after all, the soldiers and horses in the Western Theater have just finished clearing up the rebellion in the Americas and Indians, and it is estimated that a lot of vitality has been consumed, and he also has to give them time to recover.
Therefore, the task he gave was to break through Hadrian's Wall, recover the southern part of Britain that had been lost, occupy the whole of Britain, and stabilize the bridgehead of Britain, so that the rear would be more stable when he conquered the northwest of Rome in the future.
"On behalf of the Western Theater of Operations, the last general will promise to complete His Majesty's tasks and never let His Majesty and the imperial court down."
Huang Gai stood up, his voice was like thunder, and he said confidently.
During the two-day meeting, Sun Quan laid out the battles that each theater needed to be responsible for, and also explained to them in detail the overall strategy he had set for this battle, and then asked them to put forward their needs to the imperial court Two days later, the representatives of the Western and Southern theaters departed one after another, preparing to return to their respective theaters and begin to draw camps and march into the army, which was the prelude to the all-out conquest of Rome.
Immediately afterwards, Pan Feng also began to lead the troops of the Eastern Theater to return to the fortress of Severus on the west bank of the strait to discuss the next military matters.
The main army led by Sun Quan still did not move.
He also has a prependum to do.
"Yuan Zhi, the cabinet is ready" On this day, Sun Quan was wearing a battle robe, standing on the city wall, looking at the west with both hands, but what he said was asking the cabinet minister Xu Shu behind him.
"Report to Your Majesty, the cabinet has begun to prepare talents" Xu Shu bowed and said: "But Your Majesty also knows that the cabinet has not been able to reserve many talents over the years, and the bachelors who enter the Hanlin Academy through the imperial examination every year have been enabled in less than half a year, and the imperial examination has not failed every year, and the officials of all sizes needed by the fifty-eight states of the imperial court are allocated from the imperial court, which is good and bad, that is, the imperial court only grasps the place, and the disobedient can be changed, so that the place is not out of the control of the imperial court, but at the same time, it is also consuming the talents reserved by the imperial court, and it is very difficult for us to suddenly take out a large number of talents."
"Yuan Zhi, look, is this river and mountain magnificent" Sun Quan suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed to the waves in the magnificent waves ahead, and pointed to the outline of the mountains and rivers that had faintly emerged on the coast in the past, and asked.
"Magnificent" "It's going to be ours" Sun Quan said categorically: "There is no doubt that I want to eat the entire Roman Empire, but this is not just a battle of army competition, it is a battle between the entire Roman Empire and our Great Wu Court, our soldiers are fighting bloodily in front, and the territory they have seized with their lives needs someone to straighten out."

His voice became colder and more resolute: "So I can't control the difficulties of your cabinet, I only need a promise, the territory that the military has beaten down is handed over to the cabinet, then the cabinet must digest them" The so-called digestion is not listed as the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but the dispatch of officials to temporarily station, straighten out the public opinion, not to mention let the Roman people submit to the will of the people of the Great Wu court, but at least in the process of conquest, those people cannot be allowed to participate in the war.
This is the most supportive of the military.
After their defeat in the battle against Rome in the past and the encounter of escaping all the way back, if he could not digest the territory that had been eaten, he really did not dare to lead his troops deep into the hinterland of Rome.
A few inconspicuous people, two or three poor women, sometimes ruthless can exchange the lives of a few well-trained and elite soldiers.
This is the pressure brought to the Wu army by the so-called national campaign.
Among the Wu army, the main force of the Western Expedition, the three major theaters, the legions left behind, millions of soldiers and horses, plus advanced weapons, well-equipped, and fierce combat effectiveness, absolutely far surpassed the Roman army.
But if you go deep into the heart of Rome, you will inevitably face the Roman people.
The Roman Empire is a giant empire comparable to the East, but tens of millions of people, once everyone resists, one person and one spit is enough to drown them all.
"Your Majesty" Xu Shu is really a little embarrassed, he doesn't dare to bear this package on behalf of the cabinet.
"Can you do it?"
Sun Quan glanced at Xu Shu, Xu Shu suddenly felt cold, and his calm and cold voice made Xu Shu even more cold.
"Yes" Xu Shu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, gritting his teeth and spitting out a word.
He's been pushed to this point, can he still say he can't If he dares to say no, Sun Quan will dare to say that he will be replaced.
The Great Wu Imperial Court has never lacked capable people, and Sun Quan really had the confidence to warn the top of the cabinet.
Even if he is hard-headed, he can only represent that the cabinet should come down.
"Very good" A satisfied smile appeared on Sun Quan's handsome and mature face, and he patted Xu Shu on the shoulder: "This matter is a little difficult for the cabinet, but don't blame me, I can't afford to lose."
"The End Will Understand" Xu Shu could only smile bitterly in an urn.
"Hahaha" Sun Quan was in a good mood, and said with high spirits: "Gao Shun, Lu Meng" "In" "Pass on my order, the main force will cross the sea and go straight to the battlefield, I will personally go to meet Chax for a while" "Obedience" The commanders of the two legions bowed to their commanders.
The second watch, the third watch, the two more in one t1706231537:
