Chapter 136 What if I negotiated his throne?(1/2)
Chapter 136 What will happen to his throne after peace talks?
Hannibal did have an army of his own, but Carthage knew that without his family,
There is no way to control him anymore and keep these people here.
On the contrary, it is a disaster. It is better to send them all away, and there is still the possibility of being consumed.
Because Rome has always let the auxiliary legions die first, and only after the enemy's troops have been exhausted, the elite Roman legions will come forward.
Hannibal also knew that these people would definitely look for opportunities to consume his strength, but he could always save some people, but he did not expect that these Romans actually wanted the entire army to die.
But can he say no now?
Looking at the two legion commanders with fierce looks in front of him, Hannibal could only say in the end,
"Okay, I will have my people in this raid."
The two legion commanders suddenly showed a hint of joy. This was a surprise mission, which was naturally extremely dangerous.
Even if they succeed, those in the rear will be besieged to death by the Chinese cavalry who return to defend.
Now there is such an army with experience in raids, and it is not one of our own people to do this.
Of course it's a good thing.
But Hannibal quickly continued,
"But I also have requirements."
After hearing this, the two army commanders immediately looked over and said,
"If you have any requests, just ask."
Hannibal pointed at the map at this time and said,
"After the peace talks, I need a piece of land."
He knew that after this time, his foundation in Carthage no longer existed.
It is also impossible to surrender to Rome,
So it’s better to have a piece of your own land,
Give your subordinates and family a place to live.
The two legion commanders frowned. No matter how great the other's contribution was, Rome didn't have an inch of land.
is redundant.
Even if they agreed, it was impossible for the Roman Senate to agree to this request.
They were about to refuse directly, but when they saw where Hannibal was pointing, they quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the place the other party pointed to was the grassland of the barbarians, this was not a big problem.
After the two sides fight, no matter who wins or loses, those barbarians are definitely gone.
There is a large area of land there, and it is conceivable that most of it will be taken away by China.
There is no problem in giving Hannibal a piece of land, and it can also be used as a buffer zone for both sides.
Thinking of this, the slightly calm legion commander quickly said,
"I personally have no problem with that."
“But ultimately it still needs to be decided by the Senate.
.”
"I can convey it to you."
Hannibal nodded in agreement, because he knew the other party would agree.
Time passed quickly, and more than ten days later, in this small Roman city, two Roman legion commanders and their guards were standing in front of the city gate.
Hannibal also looked into the distance with a somewhat solemn expression.
There, an army with almost no end in sight is coming slowly,
Those were Roman reinforcements,
Calm speed, strong body, resolute look,
All of them prove that this is an extremely powerful army!
Even just marching gives people a strong sense of oppression.
Even if Hannibal felt a little against them, he had to admit that this was a powerful army.
In fact, it was with this army that Rome conquered the world.
If we hadn't met this time, Hua Xia suddenly appeared,
I'm afraid it won't be long before the sea around him will become the inland sea of Rome.
The two legion commanders were already so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
This is the strength of Rome!
Soon, the envoy from the Roman Senate arrived in front of several people.
Naturally, both parties praised each other and expressed respect. After an intimate ceremony,
Just returned to the city,
The army will have other arrangements, and it is impossible for all of these hundreds of thousands of people to be in this small city.
They will be scattered around so that they can support each other.
Otherwise, being trapped in an isolated city by the enemy is a real dead end.
Just returned to the palace in the city,
The envoy from the Roman Senate changed his smiling face just outside,
He questioned several people with a straight face and said,
"What's going on with you!"
"The news sent back sounds nice, but the consul already knows the truth,"
"Fifty thousand people were almost defeated by less than 10,000 people from the opposite side!"
"This is an insult to Rome!"
Hearing this, the faces of the two legion commanders suddenly became ugly.
They did not expect that the consul would actually arrange manpower in their army.
The somewhat calm legion commander quickly explained,
"Messenger, those Chinese weapons are too powerful."
The Senate envoy suddenly frowned,
"Is that weapon really what you say it is?"
Of course they had already received the news, but deep down they still couldn't believe it.
China actually mastered the power of thunder.
The two legion commanders naturally nodded with certainty.
Seeing this scene, the Senate envoy sighed directly,
"Okay, I already know it, and the consul also knows it."
"So this time, I'm here to negotiate peace with China."
"But the consul said that although there will be peace talks, there will definitely be a war, and you must be prepared."
Hearing this, several people couldn't help but fell silent for a moment, not expecting that the consul had already planned this.
It seems that the Senate is not full of trash.
Since they all have the same idea, it saves a lot of time for persuasion.
The two army commanders directly told Hannibal's plan and put forward the other party's requirements.
The Senate envoy glanced at Hannibal and said quickly,
"As long as you can complete that task, I can agree to your request on behalf of the Senate."
It's not Roman land anyway, so I wouldn't feel any pain at all if I gave it away.
Hannibal nodded calmly, and then said,
"make a deal."
The Senate envoy temporarily smiled and was about to say something,
Suddenly a Roman soldier hurried in and said,
"General! Our people have discovered a large number of enemy reinforcements and have arrived at the enemy camp."
