Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

"Okay! That's all for today. Tell me if you have any difficulties or have ideas. The female students outside are waiting. I will encourage them a few words, hoping to carry forward our medical science and serve me among the Han people. Build a good foundation for good health." Xu Ding stood up and said goodbye to Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji.

Chapter 690 After Meng Yu was broken, he went all the way eastward (three in one)

Handing over the headache to the Senate, Severus immediately dispatched troops to the west to deal with the rebellious British Governor Albanus.

He first led the cavalry to the Germanic province, and at this time the messenger came after him, delivering the letter from the emperor.

After taking it apart, Severus frowned slightly.

The general under his command asked, "Your Majesty, it's the news from Crotonne. Could it be that those old fellows in the Senate failed to capture Alexander Qin?"

The people below were also talking about it, but they failed to catch Alexander Qin, and now the Senate was embarrassed again.

Severus sighed and said: "It turned out to be in the worst direction. Alexander Qin didn't go to Crotone at all, and he didn't intend to attack Achaia. Instead, he attacked Brindisi and went north. The Adriatic."

"What? Alexander Qin actually crossed the north. He crossed the mountains in the middle. His real goal was the other provinces north of the Adriatic Sea."

Severus's subordinates were stunned for a moment, and the discussion became louder, and many of them found the exclamation of tsk tsk.

What a genius Alexander Qin, there is only one Achaia to fight in the east.

Going north, you can land in three provinces at will. Not only are the traces more difficult to catch, but also the range of movement can be unlimited.

Now the empire is in big trouble.

If Alexander Qin went to fight Achaia, even if the Roman army failed to stop it in Crotone, it could re-block the southern peninsula near Athens and block Alexander Qin in the province of Achaia.

Now that the rebels have gone to the hinterland in the north, their destructive power will be even greater, and if they fail, Alexander Qin will be allowed to flee to the barbarian area north of the Danube River. At that time, it will be difficult to encircle and wipe out the rebels.

"Your Majesty, do we need to send troops to pursue Alexander Qin?" asked one of his subordinates.

Severus shook his head and said: "No, our goal is always Albinus. Just when Alexander Qin attracted the attention of the old guys in the Senate to the northeast, we killed Albinus and regained Gao Lou and Great Britain."

Now that the Senate has no time or energy to provide support to Albinus, it is time to smooth out the west and stabilize the western border.

Severus knew that Alexander Qin would be a difficult opponent, but he was convinced that the only threats to the Roman Empire, or the empire he ruled, were the Senate and these rebellious nobles.

As an upper class person, he didn't think that Alexander Qin could subvert the empire with a group of mud legs and a group of slaves.

The leaders of the change of power in Rome in the past will only be those nobles and big slave owners.

The slaves may be able to set off a wave for a while, but not for long.

Their origin and limitations have greatly restricted their own development and growth.

Spartacus more than 400 years ago was indeed a great slave hero, but he was not suppressed in the end.

………………

Durrakium is an ancient seaport city built by the Greeks, and it is now the largest and most prosperous city in the Macedonian province on the Adriatic Sea.

A large number of trade goods are shipped to the Apennine Peninsula through here.

So in the face of the sudden war, everything was at a loss and hasty, and I was a little at a loss.

When the envoys entered the harbor, the army, flying the flag of the Roman army and wearing the clothes of Roman soldiers, rushed into the city immediately, and took control of the city gates, government agencies, warehouses and places where ordnance was stored.

Take Durrakium, do the same thing as in the peninsula on the other side, execute serious criminals, free slaves, then recruit poor peasants, and confiscate bad noble landowners.

Xu Ding's troops doubled in size.

It is a good thing that the army has grown stronger, but Xu Ding is not very happy.

He was studying the geography of the Macedonian province.

After collecting map information about the Macedonian Province, and sending people to ask the merchants in the city for descriptions of various places, they must have known the geographical conditions of the Macedonian Province.

Generally speaking, it is high in the north and low in the south.

The north is a mountainous area, and the south is a plain, because its rivers generally face southeast.

Therefore, there are several alluvial plains mainly on both sides of the river near the Aegean Sea.

The population is also mainly distributed there.

What is even more troublesome is that the Macedonian province is relatively closed, and there are only a few passes leading to other provinces.

Once these passes are blocked, it is easy to be locked up in the Macedonian province.

This is somewhat different from his original idea of ​​crossing Macedonia.

"It's just a good thing that I let Soros go directly to the Aegean Sea. With his navy, even if I can't break through the northern and eastern passes, I can still leave in the south." Xu Ding touched it with a deep look in his eyes. Then, he murmured again:

"The question is whether Soros will be loyal, and whether he can reach the Aegean Sea safely. There is a Roman navy in that area, and this is also a big question."

When Xu Ding was thinking about this issue, Meng Yu came over and said, "My lord, everyone is here. Just now we were discussing whether we should defend the capital of Lagium, use this as the basic base to fight against the Roman army, and then attack the surrounding troops." Province to expand its power."

Xu Ding came back from the matter of Soros, and then walked out to the hall. At this time, Meng Duo, Huobi, and Vila Toli were all watching Xu Ding with anticipation on their faces, hoping for what Xu Ding would say next. can fit them.

Xu Ding sat down, and then said: "I know, you want to use Durrakium to stop the Roman army from the opposite coast from chasing, as long as you use the city defense advantage of this seaport to repel the Roman army, you can get development. opportunity.

But let me ask you, after the Roman army was defeated, did they really have nothing to do with us?

You must know that we are still in the land of the Roman Empire, and it is a relatively early border, and they will not allow us to develop freely here.

The Romans would send troops from other nearby provinces and come and besiege us and trap us here. "

Everyone was silent and did not speak, Xu Ding continued: "Secondly, if the Roman army knows that we have not withdrawn from Durrakium, they may chase and land in the province of Pirus, and then go north along the mainland to attack Durrakium. umm.

So we can't stay in Durrakium for a long time. At the same time, here is a seaport city, mostly for trade. Our soldiers and food sources are not stable, so we can't stay here for a long time, and we have to go deep into the hinterland of the Macedonian province as soon as possible. "

"The commander-in-chief is right, we can't stay here for a long time, our strength is still too weak, we should fight all the way to Thrace, gather civilians and free gladiators and slaves all the way.

At that time, we will have the initiative no matter whether we go south or north, and we don't have to be afraid of the Romans anymore. "Villa Toli first stood up and echoed.

Meng Yu also raised his hand and said: "I agree with the commander in chief!"

Mengdu looked at the shopper and then raised his hand in agreement.

It is true that there is no time to fight head-on with the Roman Legion right now, even with a strong city in hand.

After solving the problem of whereabouts, Xu Ding continued: "However, I don't intend to let the Roman army take back Durrakium easily, and I can't let him catch up with us easily, so I hope someone can take back Durrakium. To stop the Roman army a bit and buy time for most of the eastward advance."

After speaking, Xu Ding glanced at the four of them.

Everyone hesitated, staying behind and providing cover for the army, this is a very dangerous thing.

Whoever stays is likely to be entangled, then break away from the main force, and eventually lose the core.
