Chapter 139 It’s Really Difficult to Use Tactics! (Four Thousand Words Chapter)

The legion commander was suspicious of Hannibal, but there was also a voice in his heart that kept telling him,

This is also a normal reaction from the other party.

After all, they had already expected this result.

But no matter what, there must be something wrong with the relationship between the other party's daughter and the prince of China being so close!

The reason why he did not tell the Roman envoy the news immediately was because he was worried about causing the current turmoil.

Now is the time to prepare for war. China may attack at any time.

At this time, something went wrong with the Roman commander. Even if the other party did not have real power, it would have a great impact.

The simplest thing is that the five army commanders who come here will probably compete with each other for the position of commander.

But just leave it alone. If the other party really has secret connections with China,

If he loses this war, he will be the sinner of all Rome!

For a moment, the legion commander was in a dilemma. At this moment, the voice of his companion came from the side,

"Why are you here? The envoy is losing his temper over there. It seems that things are not going well for you in China."

"I have told you before that we should not go to peace talks this time. They will definitely not agree and will show weakness instead."

"We should have a fight. It will hurt them so much that they will talk to us honestly."

The legion commander turned around and saw his companion standing there gloating,

So with some helplessness, I returned,

"Okay, don't say anything else now. Then the envoy will blame us again."

The reason why the opponent is so arrogant has a lot to do with their performance in the first battle.

The consul also knows the truth, and it would be unwise to provoke the envoy now.

If they are defeated then, they can still count on the envoy to speak to them.

Upon hearing this, his companion said with a bit of disdain,

"Do you think there will be no problem if we don't mess with him?"

"Everything depends on the final result. If we lose, the Senate will definitely let someone take responsibility. And you and I have already lost once. If you said they don't look for us, who should they look for?"

"So we cannot lose this battle."

Hearing this, the legion commander suddenly showed a wry smile. At that time, they underestimated the strength of those Chinese people, and they were almost defeated directly, which gave others an excuse.

Of course, it’s no one else’s fault.

But now he can fully understand why the other party has been taking the lead, because if they don't fight, all the responsibilities will fall on them.

If you win a fight, it will be natural and there will be no problem.

If they lose, although they will bear some responsibility, they will also let the people in the Senate see clearly.

It's not that they are incompetent, it's that no one can beat them.

Sure enough, his friend still had some wisdom.

Thinking of this, the legion commander's heart moved.

He was looking for someone to discuss Hannibal's affairs, and now was a good opportunity.

So soon, speaking of,

"These are all things for later, but I have something to discuss with you. Come with me."

The legion commander glanced at Hannibal not far away, and then led him towards the side.

Of course these things cannot be known to the other party.

After the two figures disappeared, Hannibal frowned and looked over.

He was neither stupid nor blind. Of course he recognized the legion commander disguised as a follower.

And he also noticed the two of them just standing there talking.

I didn't want to take any more care at first, but the other party just looked at him with caution and then left. There must be some problems here.

After thinking about it, Hannibal called his confidant, who was also a good soldier in the army, without saying anything.

He ordered.

The confidants followed him covertly.

At this time, the legion commander had already led his companions to a corner.

Looking at each other's appearance, his companion couldn't help but smile and said,

"We are noble nobles after all. What shameful words are you going to say?"

The legion commander ignored the other party’s teasing at this time.

After looking around, he said bluntly to his companions,

"I saw Hannibal's daughter in the Chinese military camp today!"

despair!

There was a soft sound, and the companion couldn't help but take a step back. Then he reacted and asked with a bit of disbelief,

"How can this be!"

Although he didn't trust Hannibal, he never thought that the other party would actually contact China.

It’s not that you have much trust in the other person’s character.

But there is not much contact between China and Rome itself.

Yes, and Hannibal is from Carthage, it is even less likely that the two parties will have contact in advance.

The two armies were facing each other not long after they arrived here.

To put it bluntly, even if Hannibal really wanted to betray them, he didn't have the time or opportunity.

So no one would suspect this aspect.

Hearing this, the legion commander also showed a wry smile and said,

"I was thinking the same thing you were thinking, but that's actually where I saw his daughter."

"And he even talked and laughed with the prince of China."

The legion commander quickly explained clearly what he saw.

There is no exaggeration, no hiding, this is related to the entire war situation.

After listening to this, his companion's expression slowly became serious, and then he said,

"I just remembered one thing. Do you still remember the first time we sent a messenger there, and what the messenger told us when he came back?"

The legion commander thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Can't remember clearly."

The first time I sent a messenger there was just to make sure that both parties were willing to talk.

There was no substantial news, so he naturally didn't pay attention to too many details.

At this time, my companion said seriously,

"I remember clearly that when the messenger came back, he said that he had met a general from China, and when he left, he also met the prince of China."

"The prince was receiving a distinguished guest at that time."

"Do you think that distinguished guest is his daughter?"

Hearing this, the legion commander couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Were they already in contact at that time?"

"Actually, using a caravan to gather information is just an excuse!"

"He wants to contact China!"

For a moment, the legion commander felt that everything was right.

No wonder Hannibal was not surprised at all by China's reaction.

No wonder there are so many Chinese books at home.

No wonder he let his daughter leave with the caravan,

No wonder he agreed to use his own men to attack China!

Thinking of this, the legion commander quickly asked,

"Where are his people?"

The companion thought for a moment and immediately understood what the other party meant and said quickly,

"After we agreed yesterday, when you set off today, I saw that their people had also set off."

Upon hearing this, the legion commander's brows furrowed even deeper.

"So anxious?"

Logically speaking, this matter is not a good thing. He can understand if the other party finds an opportunity to delay it.

But I didn't expect that the other party would move so fast!

It was as if there was a rush to finalize things before they came back.

When the companion on the side heard this, he originally wanted to say that time was indeed urgent now, and it was normal to be anxious.

And it is also beneficial to the progress of the battle.

But now something like this has happened, everything has to be reconsidered.

After thinking for a while, his companion quickly said with a solemn expression,

"Do you suspect that he has other thoughts?"

The legion commander hesitated for a moment, then nodded and returned,

"Do you remember his request?

He wants a piece of land to support himself, which shows that he has already had this intention. "

"This time we forced him to send all the people out. It can be said that the result will be death. So what does he want so much land for?

! "

"If I were him, I might as well cooperate with Huaxia. With his daughter as a bridge, Huaxia will definitely agree!"

After listening to the legion commander's words, his companion's expression suddenly changed, and then he asked,

"Are you sure?"

In fact, he had disliked Hannibal for a long time. If it had been before, he would have told the envoy the news directly and then fought for the position of commander himself.

But last time the opponent proved his strength with command, and now that the battle was going on, he knew the consequences of chaos at this time.

Roma was most likely going to lose, and he couldn't afford to lose now.

The legion commander smiled bitterly and shook his head and said,

"Who can be absolutely sure about this kind of thing?"

Both of them were silent for a while,

After a while, the legion commander couldn't help but said,

"How about we keep this matter a secret for the time being and send someone to monitor him closely."

"As long as he is still here, people outside will not be able to cause trouble."

My companion thought for a moment and nodded.

Nowadays, all aristocratic families have similar models. The master of the family is the backbone.

When the master dies, all the position, glory, etc. disappear. Without cohesion, the family will fall apart.

So as long as they keep an eye on Hannibal, they still have the initiative.

Of course, there is another point. Even if they can send people to call all these people back,

But then what?

Who will be assigned the task of raiding?

Who is willing to take someone to die?

Therefore, they cannot make decisions without absolute certainty.

The two reached an agreement and quickly left here without staying any longer.

Just after the two people left, a figure came out of the darkness and glanced at the direction the two people left with a complicated expression.

Then he walked towards Hannibal's camp.

We arrived soon, and there were familiar greetings all the way outside the camp.

After all, the only people who can guard outside Hannibal's camp are the personal guards who have been following him all these years.

In fact, our relationship is no different from that of family members.

When they arrived at the entrance of the camp, the guard captain smiled and said,

"Why are you so grim today? Who made you unhappy?"

Before he could answer, a guard on the other side said listlessly,

"His brother also went to prepare for the swamp raid, who is happy."

When they heard this, the expressions of several people around them darkened. The people who came with Hannibal this time,

They were all sent over for a raid.

, they have done this kind of thing once, and they know how difficult it is, especially this time the enemy is a Chinese who has never encountered them before.

They had already known the opponent's strength. With less than 10,000 men, they almost defeated two Roman legions to the point of collapse.

Even if these people can successfully raid the opponent's rear, the final result will not be much better.

Hearing this, the guard chief's smile froze on his face.

But he didn't rebuke,

He knew that everyone felt extremely aggrieved, so why didn't he?

His brother is also in there,

This time only a few remained.

But he didn't continue this topic, lest everyone's mood get worse, so he said,

"The general is waiting for you inside, hurry in."

After hearing this, he did not act immediately, but asked the guard captain,

"Chief Guard, why do you want our people to die this time?

? "

Others couldn't help but look over. In fact, everyone already had such doubts in their hearts.

But due to Hannibal's majesty, no one raised it.

The captain of the guard was silent for a moment, and then quickly said,

"This time we are dealing with the threat from China. If we fail, our entire known world will be enslaved."

"So Rome will also put aside its hatred and let its generals be its commanders."

"This is a war between civilizations."

This is what the general told him before. As for why he didn't explain it to everyone,

Because even he doesn't really understand what a war between civilizations is.

Sure enough, after hearing his explanation, the doubts on everyone's faces did not dissipate. On the contrary, someone said,

"Then even if it loses, it is Rome's failure. What does it have to do with us?"

"Rome is our enemy!"

"That's right! Why should we sacrifice ourselves for the enemy?"

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, the guard captain said with a straight face,

"What's the fuss about? The general has his own reasons for doing this!"

"You can't trust Rome, and you can't trust the generals!"

Everyone suddenly stopped talking. At this moment, Hannibal's voice came from the camp,

"Come in when you're back!"

Soon, the confidant walked in with a complicated expression.

Hannibal looked at his confidants and asked, without mentioning the quarrel that had just occurred outside.

"Did you hear what those two legion commanders said?"

The confidant’s eyes changed for a while, and then he said,

"General, I heard them say that they saw your daughter in the Chinese camp!"

Hearing this, Hannibal was stunned for a moment, then walked forward eagerly and asked,

"What did you say?"

The confidant seemed to have made up his mind at this time and said,

"They found your daughter in the Chinese camp, but they didn't want to tell you.

. "

"They said it would affect your attack. They also said how could a woman's life and death compare to the glory of Rome."

Hannibal's eyes gradually turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"How dare they treat me like this!"

He never imagined that he risked everyone's lives, but got such a result.

At this moment, the confidant said again,

"General, I heard the location they said, I can go find your daughter!"

Hannibal regained some consciousness, nodded quickly, and said with great sincerity,

"Then it's up to you. Make good preparations and set off at night. I'll write you a letter and you can take it with you."

If the other party's rescue is unsuccessful, this letter will be a bargaining chip in negotiations.

Soon night fell, and Hannibal had already made preparations and handed the letter to his confidant.

The confidants didn’t hesitate at all and prepared to leave, but when they arrived at the door,

suddenly said,

"General, I will bring your daughter back, can you bring my brother back?"

Then without waiting for the other party to answer, he left here directly.

Hannibal froze on the spot, waiting for him to come to his senses.

The other party has disappeared.

In the Chinese camp,

Zhao Haozheng sighed with some boredom,

"It's really difficult to use tactics!"
