Chapter 639: Scipio who pushes forward(1/2)
Wang Ben's words made Scipio's face change slightly. He didn't know that these were just Wang Ben's excuses.
After thinking for a while, Scipio continued:
"General Wang Ben, you must also know that our Rome has long lived up to its grandeur. Ever since Hannibal led Carthage's 200,000-strong army to attack Rome, Rome has been retreating steadily."
"Our Roman border fortresses and surrounding cities were all taken over by the Carthaginian army. Rome must avenge this!"
"Now that our two countries are related by marriage, with Da Qin here, with the 50,000 Qin troops under General Wang, and with the heavy artillery and firearms invented by His Highness Ying Yu, we will definitely be able to defeat Hannibal and Carthage's 200,000 soldiers.
Even if the army cannot annihilate the Carthaginian army of 200,000 men, it must be able to drive Hannibal and the Carthaginian army of 200,000 men out of Rome."
"As long as Hannibal and Carthage's 200,000 troops are driven out of Rome, the crisis in Rome will be truly resolved. Only then will Rome have the opportunity to recuperate and make a comeback."
"And the alliance between Rome and Great Qin, if Rome becomes stronger, it will be a good thing for Great Qin."
Scipio took a deep breath, stared at Wang Ben, and said calmly.
"Your Majesty the Consul, although I brought this army to reinforce your Rome, I did not receive an order to help Rome defeat the 200,000-strong army of Hannibal and Carthage."
"Therefore, I must not let the soldiers be put in danger. After all, the 200,000 Carthaginian troops in Hannibal's hands are not vegetarian.
With 50,000 fighting against 200,000, even if it is a victory, it will be a tragic victory and the casualties will be heavy.
When the time comes, how do you want me to explain to His Majesty, how to explain to His Highness the Crown Prince, and how to explain to the families of those soldiers who died in battle?"
"Besides, when we come to reinforce Rome this time, the heavy artillery carried by our army does not have many shells and firearms. If the shells and fireballs are used up, then these two weapons will become decorations and have no lethality at all."
"What will happen if Hannibal cannot be eliminated or his army is severely damaged?"
Wang Ben talked about his difficulties with a calm expression.
"this......"
"But now is a good time to destroy Hannibal and the Carthaginian army. If you miss this opportunity, wait until Hannibal leads the army to be fully prepared in the border fortress. If you want to kill Hannibal again then,
I'm afraid it won't be that easy to drive out Rome."
Hearing Wang Ben's words, Scipio frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency, Consul, with the current strength of our Great Qin, Hannibal and Carthage's 200,000 troops are not a problem at all. Although I am not qualified, I can convey your wishes back to Great Qin."
"Presumably His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely send additional reinforcements after hearing the news."
Seeing the flash of displeasure in Scipio's eyes, Wang Ben disagreed and just suggested softly.
"So good."
"Then I'll just wait for the good news."
Having said this, Scipio could not continue to force Wang Ben to send troops, so he had no choice but to agree.
"In this case, I will prepare the book and give it to His Highness the Crown Prince after the meeting."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Our Qin army has traveled thousands of miles to come to support us. Now we are short of men and horses. Please ask the consul to arrange a city for our Qin army to rest and recuperate!"
"In addition, heavy artillery and firearms are too important. I, the general, must be careful. Therefore, the management of this city must be handed over to me, Da Qin. Please forgive me, Lord Consul."
At this time, Wang Ben suddenly stood up and said calmly.
Wang Ben's words immediately made Scipio feel very unhappy and even a little angry.ъìQυGΕtV.℃ǒΜ
Isn't this a clear grab for the right to manage a city?
Although Scipio was angry in his heart, he did not show it.
After all, the 200,000 Carthaginian troops led by Hannibal are still in Rome, and the crisis has not been resolved yet.
Wang Ben and the 50,000 Qin troops under his command were now their only support for Rome, so he could only endure it.
"no problem."
"Then please wait a moment, General Wang, and all the other officers. I will make arrangements right away."
Scipio suppressed the displeasure and anger in his heart, then turned and left.
Half an hour later.
Under Scipio's orders, a small city was prepared.
After Wang Ben led the Qin Dynasty's 50,000 soldiers into the city, he directly took over the city defense and took control of the city.
"As long as we control this city, our Daqin will have a firm foothold in Rome. This will be of great help to His Royal Highness in conquering the Western Region in the future."
"Someone is here to report all the battle conditions in Rome back to our court, and at the same time, convey Scipio's words to His Highness the Prince."
Wang Ben stood on the city wall, looking at the vast land in front of him, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he smiled lightly.
"Yes! General!"
After hearing Wang Ben's words, a deputy general responded and turned to leave.
.........
Two days later.
Qin Dynasty Xianyang City, Qilin Hall court meeting!
"Father, this is what Wang Ben reported about all the wars in Rome and the general situation, as well as Scipio's request."
Ying Yu looked at Ying Zheng on the throne, took out Wang Ben's message from his arms, and handed it over.
"Very good, Wang Ben really did not disappoint me."
"As for Zedea's request, what do you think?"
After reading the contents of the letter, Ying Zheng smiled and then turned his attention to Ying Yu.
"Return to my father."
"The reason why our country Qin sent 50,000 soldiers to reinforce Rome is because I and Sophie have just gotten married, and Rome is a related country by marriage. 50,000 soldiers are already the most benevolent and righteous people!"
"What Sidious means is that he wants me, the Qin Dynasty, to send troops to destroy the 200,000 Carthaginian troops led by Hannibal. This is a bit too much."
"As long as there is a war, no one will die. I, the Qin soldiers, have no obligation to fight for Rome."
"Besides, if he helps Rome annihilate the 200,000-strong Carthaginian army led by Hannibal, then Wang Ben and his 50,000 soldiers will no longer have an excuse to stay in Rome. Such a situation will have a disloyal impact on the future plans of our Qin Dynasty.
unfavorable."
"In my opinion, it would be better to just ignore Scipio's request."
After Ying Yu finished speaking, Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded slightly:
"Scipio wants nothing but nothing."
"When someone comes, please send a message to Wang Ben immediately regarding the prince's wishes."
Regarding Ying Yu's words, Ying Zheng smiled with great satisfaction.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
As Ying Zheng spoke, a chamberlain bowed and clasped his fists, responded respectfully, and then left.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

content.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
