Wu Shun quietly took the warship and stationed in the Mediterranean, as the monarch of Rome, it is no wonder that Diocletian will be in a good mood first.
At this time, he even had some doubts about the Central Plains' intentions to help Persia.
In the heat of the war, the Eastern Powers abandoned the Persians in favor of the Romans, and assisted them in their massacre with artillery.
Judging from the ending, the Persians fled in rout, and Rome won the final victory, a result that Diocletian could accept.
However, in the early days of the war, the Roman soldiers also suffered a large number of casualties because of the Pu Yuan cannon, and judging from the final remaining forces of the Persian and Roman countries, they fought to defeat both sides.
Even, Dongfang Qiang wanted to return from the Mediterranean, and Diocletian did not dare to refuse He was afraid, it was not easy to defeat the Persians, the Roman soldiers were still in a state of extreme excitement, if they refused to be strong in the east, once they started a war with the Central Plains army, with the current state of the Roman army, there was no chance of victory.
I don't feel happy but I can't show it, this banquet, Diocletian set up a grievance.
"I will congratulate Your Majesty again, the Emperor Taishang must have arrived in Rome with great sincerity, a long time ago, the Emperor Taishang and his old man were talking about opening up a sea trade route from the South China Sea to Rome, connecting the East and the West."
Diocletian's expression naturally couldn't hide it from Dongfang Qiang, and now that he was attending a banquet, Dongfang Qiang naturally wanted to pick up something good.
"With sincerity, why did my soldiers tell me that the Central Plains Navy was all the way into the Mediterranean," Diocletian couldn't help but ask.
Dongfang Qiang said that Wu Shun was sincere, and if it was sincere to open the way with cannonballs, then the Central Plains Fleet was really sincere.
Dongfang Qiang's explanation was too far-fetched, and Diocletian was a little angry at first.
"Your Majesty, from the Central Plains to Rome, not to mention the vast sea, pirates are even more prevalent, I think it is my Emperor His Majesty is worried about the safety of the Emperor, so he sent warships to accompany the escort."
Dongfang Qiang explained.
There is some truth in what he says.
What is Wu Shun's identity, how can he go out without escorts Since he takes the sea route, there will naturally be battleship escorts.
Dongfang Qiang said this, Diocletian did not have any reason to continue to refute, if he traveled to the Central Plains, he would definitely take Rome's most powerful naval warship with him, and promote the strength of the Roman Empire along the way.
"The Persians have been routed, the Persian cavalry that invaded my Rome is being besieged, and it won't be long before the Eastern generals will be able to see your emperor."
Diocletian said first.
"I don't know if Your Majesty needs our help, even if the Suzaku Legion lacks the strength to fight cavalry, the general is still willing to provide His Majesty with some help within his ability."
Dongfang is strong.
Only by driving the Persians away completely, Diocletian will return to the army, and their Suzaku army will be able to join Wu Shun as soon as possible.
"It would be great if my army could help, and I thank the Eastern General for his generosity," said Diocletian.
Diocletian had not seen the combat power of the Central Plains army with his own eyes, so he hoped to judge from the process of clearing the Persian cavalry in the east how powerful the long-range legion of the Central Plains army was.
Receiving an affirmative reply, Dongfang Qiang also quickly fulfilled what he said, and sent an army deep into the Roman territory to drive away the Persian cavalry.
Zhang Liao personally led the team, and soon cleared the Persians who were causing trouble on the Roman border, and the Persian cavalry finally only had more than 2,000 horsemen left to flee in panic.
The Central Plains army won a complete victory, and Diocletian also saw the execution ability and strong combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army.
Especially Zhang Liao, a brave and resourceful general, let him appreciate it very much.
It can be said that the Persian cavalry has strong mobility, but under Zhang Liao's various arrangements, the Persian cavalry is often surrounded and killed by the infantry of the Suzaku Legion.
The siege and annihilation battles were fought one after another, and the Persian cavalry was terrified and had to flee in all directions.
Ten days later, ten days after the rout of the Persian army, Diocletian led his troops back to the Roman capital to the cheers of the Roman populace.
Dongfang Qiang naturally followed the Roman army with the Suzaku legion, and their goal was the Mediterranean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea.
In order to ensure safety, the Suzaku Legion was strictly monitored, and every move was carried out under the noses of the Romans.
In order to turn the navy early, Dongfang Qiang didn't say anything.
However, the Romans saw that the Central Plains army was easy to talk to, and they had no defense against them, and at the same time they were very enthusiastic about the Pu Yuan cannon, the big killer weapon in the Central Plains, and a Roman middle-level general couldn't resist the temptation and took his soldiers to steal the artillery of the Central Plains.
The first time he found out that the artillery was stolen, for the sake of the overall situation, Dongfang Qiang did not keep silent.
However, the inaction of the Central Plains army fueled the arrogance of the Roman general, and he even stole again and again.
He was even caught red-handed again, and forcibly let his men drag away a cannon barrel Dongfang Qiang couldn't care about such a thing, because it was really stolen, the artillery of the Central Plains army clashed with the Roman soldiers, and the two sides fought a big fight, and a fight was brought down, and nearly 100 people were injured on both sides.
Things are getting bigger, and as a monarch, Diocletian naturally has to come out first to show his attitude.
He severely punished the troublesome general, and ordered the return of the Puyuan cannon to the Suzaku Legion.
But who wants to take out what has already been eaten in the stomach The general had been delaying the return of the artillery, and it was almost to Constantinople, the capital of Rome, and the Suzaku Legion still did not get the artillery back.
For this reason, Dongfang Qiang personally negotiated with Diocletian first, asking Rome to return the artillery immediately, because it was about to arrive at the place, and no more artillery would be put into storage by the Romans.
Diocletian was also eyed by the artillery of the Suzaku Legion, and he said that he would retreat, but in fact he did not make any moves.
Because of his proximity to the capital, Diocletian was a little complacent, and he was not afraid of the Suzaku Legion making trouble at all.
It was also concluded that Dongfang Qiang did not dare to be tough.

However, Rome miscalculated the form from top to bottom Diocletian, in particular, who had defeated the Persians, now regarded himself as a Roman hero, and no longer had such reverence for the Suzaku Legion.
Because in Rome, he Diocletian was the one who stood on the top.
There is a limit to patience, and Dongfang Qiang blindly let the soldiers be patient.
This was actually for a purpose, and he did it so that the soldiers would suddenly explode when they had endured a certain level.
Diocletian's pride and Dongfang Qiang's deliberateness, the conflict between the Suzaku Legion and the Roman sergeants in the Central Plains eventually led to bloodshed An artillery battalion stormed the Roman camp and beat the Romans who had participated in stealing artillery.
Beaten in triumph, the Roman soldiers rushed out with their weapons as soon as they got angry.
The soldiers of the Suzaku Legion were unable to dodge, and many were slashed.
A brawl eventually turned into a fierce fight, and when the fight really started, the Roman side suffered a loss, because Gao Shun drove the chariot out
