"Seven days later, then our request for help from Daqin will be put after Sophie and Prince Nafusu get married. "

Scipio pondered for a moment and finally made his decision.

"Seven days later, Your Highness Scipio, why don't we ask Daqin for help now? The distance between Daqin and my Rome is far away, and it should take about four or five days for Daqin to send support to arrive in my Rome. "

"And with the strength of the Great Qin army, I am afraid that the Carthaginian army will be able to be directly defeated in less than a day, and it is just at that time that Princess Sophie and His Royal Highness Prince Fusu will be married, and our Rome will not have the worries of Hannibal's Carthaginian army, wouldn't it be better to be able to prepare for the marriage with those Qin troops?"

The consul Hu Cong was puzzled by Scipio's decision.

After all, Hannibal's Carthaginian army had completely occupied the defensive line, and a large area of Rome was threatened, and due to the problem of terrain and its own combat effectiveness, the main Roman army could not solve it for a while.

Although the Carthaginian army has not made any major moves for the time being, it is very likely that they have incurred some attrition and casualties when fighting the Roman garrison, and they need to rest and sort out.

In addition, they have just occupied the defensive line, and they still don't know much about the use and use of various areas of the defensive line, and they need to be familiar with these before they can defend the defensive line.

It stands to reason that this was the best time to attack the Carthaginian army.

As long as Scipio now sends a letter asking for help, the Great Qin army will inevitably arrive.

With the help of the invincible edge of the Great Qin army, the Carthaginian army would definitely not be able to hold out for a day, so they had to surrender to their Rome, and this big trouble was naturally solved.

However, if Scipio had postponed the call for help until seven days later.

I am afraid that the Carthaginian army had already recuperated by that time, and had thoroughly understood the role of various parts of the defensive line, and perhaps had been able to use it to the extent that it was handy.

At that time, the Carthaginian army will be even more tricky!

Even if Great Qin's army is terrifying in combat, but in the face of the Carthaginian army, which occupies a geographical advantage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the number of people who come is not enough, I am afraid that they may not be able to solve them in a short time.

Once the two sides start a tug-of-war, the Great Qin army will inevitably suffer combat wear and tear in the battle, such as wear and tear of weapons, broken armor, and so on.

However, because the standard equipment of the Great Qin army was too sophisticated and advanced, Great Qin's control of this strategic resource was very strict and did not leak out in the slightest.

Therefore, Rome simply did not have the ability to replenish the attrition of the Qin army.

This also meant that if the Qin army did not want to use the shoddy weapons of Rome, they would have to travel thousands of miles to transport their standard equipment from Great Qin to replenish their losses.

However, now that the railway from Daqin to Rome has not yet been completed, and the Suez Canal has not yet been dug successfully, it is extremely inconvenient to send these strategic resources from Daqin to Rome, and there is no doubt that this will be a long process, and the time to fight with the Carthaginian army will be greatly extended.

You know, war is an extremely money-burning activity.

Whether it is the usual food and drink of the soldiers, or the wear and tear of weapons and equipment, including horses, arrows, and special combat tools such as siege vehicles, all of them need the support of large sums of money.

The Great Qin army came from thousands of miles to support Rome, and it was impossible for them to give out this money, so this money naturally fell on the head of Rome's state finances.

However, his own family knew his own affairs, and as an archon, he knew very well that due to Scipio's implementation of the new policy, the country's financial situation was already overwhelmed, and if such a very large amount of military expenditure was added, the country's finances would collapse in a short time!

This is also the reason why the consul Hu Cong was very incomprehensible to Scipio's decision.

"As you said, Great Qin's army is too powerful, whether it is their superb military strategy or sophisticated and advanced armament, it is completely unmatched by our Rome. "

"Moreover, we were more energetic than the Qin army in the battle to capture the Seleucid kingdom, and later because of the territory, we fought with the Carthaginian army for many years, and our Roman army has long since lost its glory. "

"In addition, our Roman garrison has been raided by Hannibal's Carthaginian army recently, and it has been completely annihilated, so it can be said that although the main force of our Roman army is now, it is extremely poor in terms of morale and combat ability. "

"If the army of Great Qin is allowed to enter the territory of my Rome without hindrance, I am really worried that something will happen that we cannot predict, and at that time, our Roman army will not be able to stop the advance of the Qin army, so we can only let them do something in my Rome. "

Scipio said in a deep voice.

"Sir Scipio, do you mean that you are worried that the Qin State will take the opportunity to occupy my Rome in the name of supporting my Rome in sweeping away the Carthaginian army?"

The eyes of the consul's servants were full of horror.

He had always only thought about the marriage between Rome and Great Qin, and he was a powerful and incomparable backer, so when the Roman garrison was completely wiped out and the Roman defense line was occupied, his first thought was to ask for help from Great Qin, and with their strength, Hannibal's Carthaginian army was wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, they ignore that if Great Qin has the idea of annexing Rome to them, then with Rome being so close to Great Qin, the danger it is looking for will undoubtedly be even more deadly!

Thinking of this, Archon Hu couldn't help but stand upside down, and a cold chill was born in his heart.

"Your Excellency Scipio, you are thoughtful, I only think about using the power of Great Qin to solve the big trouble of the Carthaginian army for us, and I have completely forgotten the major hidden dangers contained in letting the Qin army enter Rome!"

"And what you just said, Your Excellency, also made Your Majesty suddenly realize one point, that is, since Daqin has become stronger step by step under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Prince of Fusu, it seems that his external expansion has never stopped, and it has been going on. "

"The first step was to destroy the Xiongnu, a powerful enemy in the north, and then to the collapse of the once prosperous Mauryan Empire, and then to annex a series of small states around the country, including the Seleucid kingdom, by various means. "

"Daqin's territory has begun to gradually approach our Rome unconsciously, coupled with the newly built Daqin railway to Rome, as well as the vigorous excavation of the Suez Canal, I'm afraid Daqin's mind is really not pure!"

After analyzing it in this way, the consul Hu couldn't help but feel a feeling of extreme fear when thinking about it.

Unconsciously, they Rome seemed to have become the next target of Great Qin. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He even began to suspect that the reason why Daqin would agree to marry them Rome was precisely to facilitate his entry into Rome in the future!

"What you just mentioned is exactly what I've been thinking about. "

"For this reason, although Hannibal's Carthaginian army is a great threat to our Rome, even to the point where I must deal with them immediately, I still decided to wait until Sophie and the Fusu prince are officially married, and then ask for help from Daqin. "

"Because only Sophie and the Prince of Fusu are really married, my Rome and Daqin are the real in-laws, and at this time to ask Daqin for help, Sophie and Prince Fusu are still in the newlywed period, according to the traditional customs of Daqin, at this time, it will cause nameless trouble. "

"Therefore, even if Great Qin is for the sake of his own great power, he is absolutely embarrassed to attack my Rome at this time, and after the Qin army helps us sweep away Hannibal's Carthaginian army, they have no reason to stay in our Rome anymore, so they naturally have to leave, and the crisis in our Rome can be resolved. "

Scipio explained.

"I see, no wonder Your Excellency Scipio, you must submit a letter requesting support to Daqin after Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie and Her Royal Highness Prince Nafusu have completed your marriage, it turns out that you have this deep meaning!"

After listening to Scipio's explanation, the consul Hu suddenly realized.

"My deep meaning is more than that, I remember that Daqin has a saying that the fragrant wind on the pillow is the most ecstasy, no matter how unparalleled the prince of Fusu is, no matter how amazing the talent is, he is still at a young and romantic age after all. "

"As long as Sophie can firmly grasp the heart of the Fusu prince after getting married, and make more suggestions in his ear, persuading him to give up the idea of attacking Rome, in order to help the prestige of the prince's position in Daqin, as long as he says that he will not attack Rome, Daqin will definitely not make any big moves against my Rome, so that at least I can protect Rome for a few years. "

Scipio said with a sigh.

The reason why he said that it was only a few years was because Scipio knew very well in his heart that with Great Qin's current strength and the economic and military strength that was still developing rapidly, even if all the countries in the Western Regions were united, they might not necessarily be Great Qin's opponents.

What's more, now that a large area of territory in the Western Regions has been annexed by Great Qin, many small countries in the Western Regions have also attached themselves to Great Qin early, and even many have become vassals of Great Qin.

Nowadays, in the Western Regions, the great powers that still have a little military strength can be counted on one hand, and they are none other than Rome, Carthage and other countries.

Therefore, under the crushing of absolute military power, the unification of the Western Regions by Great Qin is almost an inevitable trend. []

In addition, almost half a year later, the railway from Daqin to Rome is estimated to have been completed, and it will take a little time to be able to put into real-time traffic, and the Suez Canal, the passage on the sea route, may have been successfully navigated.

With these two things, the distance between Daqin and Rome will be greatly shortened, and without the natural shackles from distance, Rome will no longer be able to stop the footsteps from Daqin!

In such a situation, the delay of several years for Rome is almost the limit.

On this point, Your Excellency Scipio, you can rest assured that Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie is unparalleled in the world, and she has been called the flower of the empire when she was still in Rome, which has attracted countless princes and nobles. "

"Now that I have gone to Daqin, I believe that with the charm of Her Royal Highness Princess Sophie, she must be outstanding, enough to overwhelm ten thousand people, as long as you use a little heart, you will definitely be able to fascinate the Prince of Fusu. "

Archon Hu Cong said with a smile, his words containing confidence in Sophie.

After all, he was an old subordinate who had followed Scipio for decades, and he had almost watched Sophie grow from a newborn baby to a slim girl, and he naturally believed in her beauty.

"This is really not necessarily, although Sophie is beautiful and moving, she can be called the first beauty in our Rome, but as far as I know, the women around Prince Fusu are basically all beautiful and beautiful. "

"For example, the crown princess and concubine (how good) Yushu, when she was still in Tu'an Kingdom, she had already moved all over the world with her beauty, and the lords of many countries were fascinated by her, and took out countless treasures just to capture her heart, and even several countries expressed their willingness to use a city in exchange, which can really be said to be a country and a city!"

And because of her gentleness and generosity, she was deeply loved by Prince Fusu, not to mention that she gave birth to a lovely daughter later, which made Prince Fusu very favored, and after Sophie joined the prince's mansion, this Yushu prince concubine must be her strong opponent. "

"The princess of the small jasper, the elegant and noble Princess Thea, and Yu Ji, who gets along with Fusu almost every day, almost all of them are beautiful and fragrant, each has its own beauty characteristics, and the relationship with the prince of Fusu is also quite deep. "

"Even the few female guests who live in the Prince's Mansion who study with Yushu, called Lu Pheasant and Lu Su, are extremely good-looking, even compared to Sophie, they are definitely not much inferior!"

"Not to mention that there are many small countries in the Western Regions who do not hesitate to send their beautiful and moving princesses into the prince's mansion as maids in order to tie up with Great Qin and His Royal Highness the Prince of Fusu, just looking forward to one day flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes. "

"I heard that there are too many beauties in the prince's mansion in Daqin, and there is even a saying that all the beauties in the world are in the prince's mansion, although this is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to show that the Fusu prince's mansion is indeed fat and thin, and the beauties are like clouds. "

"Therefore, although Sophie is beautiful and moving, and she can be called the first beauty in my Rome, if she is placed in the prince's mansion surrounded by beauty, not to mention the crowd, I am afraid that she will definitely not be so prominent. "

Scipio shook his head and said.
