"Does the general really want to fight with the regent of the Great Qin State in order to protect Egypt?"
In the camp of the Han army in Alexandria, Wu Zaihan, who participated in the meeting with Brutus, was a little worried, there was a sentence he didn't know whether to talk about it or not, this expedition was the general's insistence, Chen Tang and others were initially opposed, and after knowing that the general's real goal was knowledge, Wu Zaihan barely understood.But this expedition, because of the epidemic strain and fighting, has hundreds of soldiers left on the land of Egypt forever, the battle a few days ago made Wu Zaihan quite shocked, the Roman army is indeed very strong, if it is not for the help of firearms, it is really difficult to say who will win or lose."
General, Egypt is a stone's throw from Rome, and I have heard that its navy is huge, and tens of thousands of troops can be transported here at any time.But the Han army had to travel thousands of miles from the poison, and they had to wait for the monsoon. ”To put it mildly, on this expedition, the hussar general has already brought half of the Han soldiers who are poisoned, and it is not enough to wrestle with Rome in Egypt."
Of course we want to know ourselves, but the enemy doesn't know me."
Ren Hong said with a smile: "In the eyes of the Romans, how mysterious the Han is, they only know the vastness of our country, and they see that our soldiers are good at war, and the skills and utensils are irresistible. ”Tell Caesar the Great to cover Egypt, that is Ren Hong's strategy, the opposite kind of experienced politician, once you show weakness, he will see that your strength is not good, it is difficult to say that immediately dispatch troops to kill a horse pistol.There were many factors for the success of the first battle, and if Caesar ordered another legion to go south to Egypt, Ren Hong would be overwhelmed.To make Caesar think that the Han army was going to be stationed in Egypt for a long time, and the soldiers continued to come west, so that after he weighed it, he felt that this battle was not worth fighting.Sure enough, within a few days, the Great Lighthouse reported the news of Caesar's fleet heading west.Maybe it's going to Sicily, maybe it's Cyrenaica."
It seems that Caesar is still bent on defeating Pompey, but it's a pity that Pompey is going to Syria in the East!"
It was Ren Hong who urged Pompey to go east, to Syria and Judea, Pompey was the hero of the completion of the "Eastern Strategy", and had a great influence in the East.Pompey and his sons went west to the provinces of Cyrene and Africa, in what would become Libya-Tunisia, the last stronghold of the Roman republicans.This east and west were enough for Caesar to fight for a year or two, and Ren Hong's goal was to prolong the civil war in Rome as long as possible, so that Caesar would have no time to take care of Egypt before he could calmly withdraw.And when he met Brutus, Ren Hong even deliberately called Caesar "King of Rome" and verbally gave him a crown, but I don't know how Brutus, who was bent on the republican system, felt?
Caesar certainly wouldn't be willing to give up Egypt forever, but when he came back to take revenge, Ren Hongding was no longer here.Ren Hong smiled secretly in his heart: "What should I do after pretending to be forced?"
”"Of course it slipped away!"
Alexander's mausoleum is located south of the city's main road, adjacent to the royal palace, and the surface structure has been built in the shape of a temple, and the circular building is supported by many marble columns, topped by shrines and green vegetation, and looks like a hanging garden from a distance.After the remnants of Pompey withdrew, and the Roman fleet left the Great Green Sea to pursue westward, the crisis in Egypt was temporarily lifted.In order to thank Ren Hong for driving away the Romans, she took off her pharaoh's costume today, wore a Greek dress, and took General Ren to pay homage to the conqueror three hundred years ago.As soon as you enter the mausoleum gate, you can see the sculpture of the Emperor in his youth, and on the left and right are Ptolemy I and Aristotle, the closest comrades-in-arms and mentors."
When Alexander died, his body was buried in Memphis."
As for why a Macedonian did not bury himself in his capital city of Babylon and did not return to his homeland, but ran to Egypt, perhaps because Alexander embraced the Egyptian religion and considered himself the son of Raamun."
Later, he was moved to Alexandria by the Savior Ptolemy I for a proper burial.""
Oh, holy relics."
Ren Hong said that he understood that he had heard a rumor that Alexander's body was stolen by Ptolemy, and whoever got him was the Diadochi!"
If I die suddenly, who will be my successors?
Wife, three sons, Zhao Han'er, Chen Tang?
”Ren Hong suddenly had such a thought, he was about to be 47 years old, he had just completed the craziest adventure of his life, and after the tension against the Romans, he was thinking about something further.The queen noticed Ren Hong's contemplation, and vaguely guessed that he seemed to be thinking about what was going on after his death, so she said: "When the Savior brought Alexander's body, it was in a large solid golden coffin, which was loaded on a specially made and ornate cart studded with precious stones, and General Ren, a mule with 64 heads wearing a golden crown, what are you laughing at?"
”The mule wearing the golden crown, Ren Hong just couldn't hold back, are you sure this is not satirizing Yadi?
Sure enough, no matter how great the conquerors were during their lifetimes, they would always become a farce after death, and they would be used by others.The door of the mausoleum was jammed because of an earthquake last year, and the queen's bodyguard, Aya, and a mysterious hooded man went to the inside to open the mausoleum.The pharaohs of the Ptolemaic dynasty stood in turn on either side of the corridor, but there were no female co-rulers."
My sculptures will stand here in the future."
Cleopatra VII proudly claimed that although she had appointed another brother as a co-ruler, called "Ptolemy XIV", it was only a puppet in her hands."
As long as General Ren is willing, he can still become the pharaoh of Egypt."
The queen was tempting Ren Hong to stay, if she was in Memphis, she just wanted to temporarily use the power of the Seris, but after the Han army repelled the Romans with artillery, the queen began to believe that as long as Seris and General Ren were willing, Egypt's independence could be fully guaranteed, and if he could stay here, Egypt would be protected from Roman encroachment for twenty years.Ren Hong smiled but didn't answer, they had already entered the tomb, which was very large, a mix of Greek and Egyptian styles, with bizarre beast-headed gods and Greek-style murals.Ren Hong walked to the first mural on the right, which showed a boy standing in a bathtub bathing, probably talking about Alexander's birth, and next to her mother."
The father of the conqueror was not the king of Macedon, but Amun Zeus."
Wait, when did Amun of Egypt and Zeus of Greece become one god?
Oh got it, the Ptolemaic mythology is characteristic, right?
In the second painting, the young Alexander and a wise old man with a long beard are his mentor Aristotle.Ren Hong always felt that the old man's eyes had been staring at him, perhaps because he had already packed hundreds of thousands of rolls of papyrus from the Great Library on the ship after the end of the battle.The treasures of the Ptolemaic dynasty for several years are now cheaper, and Aristotle's dream of a great collection of world knowledge will be realized in the East.Walking around to the other side, there are also two murals.The first is that Alexander appointed Ptolemy as the heir, which is the orthodox basis of the Ptolemaic family, well, anyway, now that the Ptolemaic dynasty has become the only successor state, whatever you say, you can say anything.But on the merits, the Ptolemaic dynasty was indeed the culmination of Hellenism.The last one is Alexander's conquest of the known world, and the easternmost point under his feet happens to be Ren Hong's basic India."
I really have some fate with him."
If fate is a Buddhist, Ren Hong, who is already considered by Theravada to be the "Holy King of the Wheel", said."
His Far East city of Khujand in Alexandria was the starting point of my conquest ten years ago.""
My route into India is exactly the same as his.""
Now, I'm at his end again."
This is probably the farthest place Ren Hong can go west."
The general was the greatest conqueror after Alexander."
The queen flattered."
What am I?"
Ren Hong didn't think so, he was at most at the same level as Caesar.But when he stood in front of Alexander's transparent coffin, he couldn't help but want to laugh again."
What about the golden coffin?
How is this a glass coffin?
”The queen was a little embarrassed, saying that it was replaced by Ptolemy X, when Egypt was in turmoil and the royal family was in financial crisis, so she hit the idea on Alexander's golden coffin.It's like the Han Dynasty is in financial difficulties and melts the sacrificial vessels of the Gaozu Temple!"
But that's fine, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see Alexander's mummy."
An ornate mummy was the place where Alexander was left after his death, with Greek and Egyptian characters and various motifs painted on it."
I'll give Alexander back a golden coffin."
Seeing Ren Hong's sarcastic face, the queen promised very seriously."

When I make Egypt rich and strong again!
The golden coffin will definitely be returned, bigger than the original!
”"You can do it."
General Ren, who has always been strict with her, suddenly praised the queen."
Queen Cleopatra."
Ren Hong said earnestly to the queen in front of Alexander's coffin: "There will always be people who will underestimate you, but in fact, you are very intelligent and resourceful.Your charisma has made you an unbreakable alliance with the most powerful leader in the world," he compared to himself: "After I am gone, keep your friends and you will find yourself so unattainable, and with the glory of Egypt, be ready to win the praise of the whole world!"
”The queen was flattered by the sudden high hat, but it was also very useful.Indeed, Egypt's strength was not strong, and if it wanted to gain independence from Rome, it had to establish good relations with Pontus and Parthia while relying on Seris as a general, so as to restore domestic stability before Rome ended the civil war.Ren Hong knew that the covenant between him and the queen was fragile, and she could betray it at any time because of the situation.After all, every kitten grows up, looks harmless at first, young, quiet, licks milk from a shallow dish.But when the claws grow long enough, the cat will hurt people, and sometimes even scratch the hands of the cat owner.Just get in before she scratches her hand, and let her be a self-reliant wildcat.After reading it in a circle, Ren Hong and the queen walked out of Alexander's mausoleum, and when asked by the queen how he felt, Ren Hong thought about it and replied: "The feeling is" "No one can take this country away!"
”It is not a temporary empire and territory that can stay in this world for a long time, it is enough to open up, and in his later years, he needs to prepare for how to consolidate what he has created in the past twenty or thirty years.When he walked out to the vicinity of the palace, Wu Zaihan hurriedly delivered a book, a familiar paper book, which came from India and was sent by Yang Yun."
It was issued more than two months ago, and the body poison capital has received an edict from the imperial court!"
When it was sent out from Dahan, it was already half a year ago?
Ren Hong took it and looked at it, Yang Yun described the general content of the edict, and after reading it, Ren Hong couldn't help but sigh in his heart."
I'm sick.""
Is this finally the day?"
