Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"However, Your Majesty, I have heard that although the regular government army of Rome has been heavily damaged by Hannibal's Carthaginian army, looking at the whole of Rome, the private armies raised by the Roman nobles are still in a state of immobility, and have not spent a single soldier. "

"Moreover, those nobles attached great importance to the cultivation of their own armies, and tried to do their best in all aspects, and did not skimp on their money at all, so that their private armies still maintained good combat power, and were completely able to confront the Carthaginian army. "

"In that case, it is clear that there is such a powerful army in his own country, so why didn't Scipio ask those Roman nobles for help first, but instead submitted a letter asking for help to my Great Qin as soon as possible?"

"There may be some traps in this, Your Majesty must be guarded against. "

Chen Ping reminded beside him.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers in the court became a little unnatural, and they began to have doubts about Scipio's request for help from Daqin.

And Yingzheng and Fusu had slightly gloomy faces, as if they were a little unhappy.

"Doctor Chen Ping, you don't know about this. "

"Although the soldiers of the Roman aristocracy said that their military literacy was very good and their combat effectiveness was extremely good, it was basically difficult to unite because they all belonged to the major nobles. "

After all, there were not and there were all kinds of suspicion and even hatred between the nobility and the nobility, let alone with Scipio's Roman government army, which had always been at odds with the nobility. "

"In this way, even if they are barely twisted together, they actually look powerful, but in fact, they are distant, and when they fight, they are simply scattered soldiers, and it is difficult to form real combat effectiveness. "

"Besides, Doctor Chen Ping, do you think you can think of anything that Scipio, as the supreme consul of Rome, can't think of?"

"If the noble private army could come to the rescue, even if it was difficult to integrate with each other, Scipio would have done so a long time ago. "

It's just that his own family knows his own affairs, and with the selfish character of the Roman nobles, they have long been happy to see Scipio's government army defeated by the Carthaginian army, and they all wish that Scipio would fall because of this, so that they can regain the rights and interests of their nobles, how can they send their own private army to support. "

Meng Tian came out and explained.

If it was in the past, Scipio did have unfavorable thoughts about Great Qin.

At the beginning, Scipio wanted to first eliminate Daqin's wariness of Rome through marriage with Daqin, and at the same time use Daqin's prestige to implement his new policy in Rome to make Rome strong again, and then turn around to deal with Daqin and complete the goal of realizing the great revival of Rome.

However, since Scipio knew the power of Great Qin in the letters between Little Scipio and Princess Sophie, and recognized the gap between Rome and Great Qin in all aspects, Scipio's heart immediately broke off the idea of being unfavorable to Great Qin.

Even what he is thinking about now is how to make Rome have a good relationship with Great Qin, how to preserve it as much as possible in the future Great Qin's invasion and annexation of Rome, or to protect all the subjects of Rome.

And now Rome is under the fierce attack of Hannibal's Carthaginian army, more than a dozen cities are in danger, and even the capital of Rome is at risk of being destroyed.

In such a critical situation, Scipio did not dare to calculate Daqin, after all, he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to rely on the remaining remnants of the defeated generals and those cities that had not paid much attention for many years, it would be absolutely impossible to stop the pace of the Carthaginian army.

The only way Scipio could preserve himself and the Roman state was to ask for assistance from Great Qin.

Now let alone set a trap for Great Qin, Scipio is just looking forward to the early arrival of Great Qin's reinforcements and let Rome out of the current crisis.

"What General Meng Tian said is that I didn't think about things carefully enough and said wrong things, and I asked Your Majesty to be guilty. "

A look of shame appeared on Chen Ping's face, and he hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty.

"Chen Ping, you often mingle in the court, and the positions you manage are also civilian officials, so it is normal to have misunderstandings about this kind of military matter. "

"This time I forgive you not guilty, but you have to remember that the next time you speak, you have to think carefully in your mind before speaking, since Fusu has married the Sufi princess of Rome into the door, then Scipio is no longer just the supreme consul of Rome, but also Fusu's father-in-law, my in-laws, and Daqin's relatives. "

"Don't speculate as baselessly as today without evidence, otherwise the consequences could be serious!"

Ying Zheng's face was calm at first, and when he said the next sentence, he suddenly became serious, and his words contained a thick warning.

After all, Chen Ping's conspiracy theory just now, although the ministers of the court and the central government did not clearly state their attitude, it was obvious that they had wavered in their hearts about whether Great Qin would lead an army to aid Rome at Scipio's request. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If all the ministers really believed that Scipio asked for help from Daqin in order to design a trap to deal with Daqin, and wrote to Yingzheng to persuade him to give up the rescue operation against Rome, that was not what Yingzheng wanted to see.

After all, only if Rome asked for help from Great Qin, Yingzheng could justifiably send the Great Qin army to Rome, and use this to expand Qin's influence in Rome and let Great Qin take root in Rome.

The reason why Yingzheng kept helping Su to marry Sophie was not only because of his father's purpose of wanting to help Su pass on his ancestry, but also because he wanted to use this to bring the relationship between Daqin and Rome closer, and prepare for Daqin's annexation and capture of Rome in the future.

In the face of the advice of the ministers, Ying Zheng, as the supreme emperor, can certainly resist public opinion and continue to adhere to his own views, but this will inevitably damage the image of Ying Zheng's wise and wise advice. []

However, if their advice was adopted, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity to promote the integration of Great Qin with Rome.

No matter which side is chosen, it will cause losses to Ying Zheng and Great Qin, which is also the reason why Ying Zheng and Fusu's faces are not very good-looking after hearing Chen Ping's conspiracy theory speculation about Scipio.

Chen Ping is also an old man in the court, and after hearing the second half of Ying Zheng's words, he didn't know that his previous words had angered Ying Zheng.
