Chapter 230 Liu Che: This Rome is like China
The scene changes.
In a city flying the Carthaginian flag, a group of Roman soldiers arrived by ship.
They escorted a Roman envoy and entered the city hall aggressively.
In the town hall.
The young Hannibal has grown into a majestic leader.
The same as the Roman Senate that appeared on the sky curtain in the previous paragraph.
At this time, the Carthage Hall was also noisy and noisy.
Carthaginian nobles and officials with various opinions were all clamoring for their ideas.
Among the large group of Carthaginians were envoys from Rome.
Although the Roman envoys were fighting away from home.
But his arrogance is very arrogant!
Every gesture and movement showed the power and pressure of the Celestial Empire and the envoys of a great country.
The ambassador was alone, standing among countless Carthaginian officials, nobles and generals.
He waved his hands domineeringly and shouted loudly to the people around him.
【Your actions have insulted Rome! 】
[You have violated and profaned the peace treaty between Carthage and Rome! ]
[Carthaginian elder: But that is an unequal treaty! ]
I heard someone dared to question it.
The Roman ambassador turned around instantly!
He pointed domineeringly at the Carthaginian elder who spoke.
Just point at his head and start scolding him!
【I must remind you of the last war between Carthage and Rome. 】
[Your fathers have become lonely ghosts who died tragically in the wilderness of Sicily! ]
[Your fathers died tragically! ]
[Those remnants of the defeated army that managed to escape from Sicily were eventually annihilated by our powerful Roman navy in a naval battle.]
[Both the body and the person were sacrificed to the sea god.]
【The Mediterranean Sea belongs to Rome! 】
[Not from you Carthage! ]
[You Carthaginian barbarians deserve to stand aside! ]
While the Roman envoy was arrogant and domineering, he scolded hundreds of Carthaginians in the audience.
Many in-game scenes also switched on the sky screen.
You can see this in these game screens.
The Roman soldiers easily crushed the Carthaginian soldiers.
The Carthaginian elephant army collapsed in the face of the Roman targeted spears and arrow rain.
The large ship loaded with Carthaginian soldiers was easily broken in half by the sturdy Roman warships.
The Carthaginian warships that were lucky enough not to be rammed had their throats cut by Roman soldiers in the subsequent boarding battle.
One by one, their bodies sank into the sea and became food for the fish.
We are clearly in the city of Carthage.
The Roman ambassador is so arrogant!
Even directly insulting their parents!
Such a genius in negotiation naturally caused a burst of exclamations from the barrage.
Everyone expressed it.
This guy is definitely a genius negotiator! He is totally willing to sacrifice his life.
But it’s different from the exclamations in the barrage.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he nodded slightly approvingly.
I feel that this Roman envoy indeed possesses the confidence and strength that a civilized country should have.
"Yes, this Roman envoy is worthy of my appreciation for Rome just now."
"The attitude of the envoy is related to the strength of the country."
"The stronger the country, the more powerful its envoys will naturally be."
"It can be seen that this country called Rome must be as powerful as our Great Qin in their Mediterranean world!"
……
Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, looked at the Roman envoys on the sky curtain.
Also smiling from ear to ear.
"Good...good! Good! This Roman envoy has quite a bit of Chinese style!"
"Since Rome was a powerful country in Europe at the time, it should have the demeanor of a powerful country."
"You are on someone else's territory, pointing at him and scolding his father!"
"Yes, these Roman envoys, and the Rome behind them, are very much to my liking."
"At least from a diplomatic perspective."
“This Rome is like China.”
"No wonder Rome is called Daqin, it has the style of the Daqin that dominated the world back then."
……
And the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Gou frowned.
"Oh my, how can a diplomatic envoy be so arrogant?"
"To engage in diplomacy like this is just plainly looking for trouble, isn't it?"
"If only every country practiced diplomacy like the Romans did."
"I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!"
"Speaking of Rome, I have heard of it. It is the country called Daqin, also known as Rome."
"I remember that history books said Rome was similar to China." "Now it seems to be just a barbarian country, isn't it?"
"Humph, you are so arrogant just because you rely on your strong military strength. What are you so proud of?"
Ancient people of all generations have different ideas based on the times and countries they lived in.
There are different views on the brutality of the Roman envoys on the sky curtain.
But basically, most of the ancient people in the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty generally appreciated the arrogance of the Roman envoys.
And on the sky.
The Roman envoy also continued to speak.
[When the war ended, you Carthage fled back to Africa with the remaining mercenaries.]
[When you escape back to your barbaric and dilapidated fishing village. ]
[You have already lost all your chips! You are no longer qualified to play with us Romans.]
But after a series of strong attacks.
The Roman envoy's tone softened a little.
He took a deep breath and asked Hannibal, who was looking stern in the crowd.
【But even so. 】
[I still have to come to this broken place to ask for your decision. ]
[Carthage, do you want peace or war? ]
[Of course, I must remind you. ]
[You don't think Carthage really has a choice! ]
Right now.
The background music on the sky curtain reached the most exciting moment.
And accompanied by the sudden increase in background music.
Hannibal also drew his sword.
Swing it out in a handsome and cool way!
He swung his hand back and put it directly on the neck of the Roman envoy.
Hannibal looked at the other person with a stern gaze.
Like a hunter examining his prey.
I choose war.
……
The sky video ends.
The ancient people also thought that this video was very well made and created a great atmosphere!
Finally, amid the arrogance of the Roman envoys, Hannibal drew his sword and declared in a domineering manner that this was the moment he chose war.
It’s really exciting!
Qin Dynasty.
Ying Zheng enjoyed watching it very much.
Cheers to Hannibal's courage!
Because Ying Zheng could see it.
Carthage and Rome may not even be opponents of the same level.
If we compare it with our own Qin Dynasty.
Rome may be the Qin Dynasty of that time.
Carthage was the Zhao State which had already lost the Battle of Changping.
When the opponent is obviously not of the same level.
Hannibal still dared to draw his sword!
It's hard not to appreciate!
And you can know it by combining it with the previous video.
Hannibal also took an incredible journey through the snowy Alps.
The sword is aimed at mainland Italy.
This made Ying Zheng admire him even more.
……
And who was the ancient emperor who admired Hannibal the most?
It has to be Li Cunxu.
Because Li Cunxu saw the first scene of this sky curtain.
It was the young Hannibal who swore an oath to his father in front of the temple.
Li Cunxu couldn't help but think of the past.
He took the three arrows in front of his father and vowed to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish.
To do this, I really dared to fight and finally fulfilled my vow of three arrows.
Three arrows determine the fate of the country!
Li Cunxu said in surprise:
"Hannibal, it turns out that this oath was made in front of your father!"
"Oh my god! Hannibal is so me!"
“It’s easy to be overwhelmed by this burden.”
"But Hannibal clearly held up."
Li Cunxu instantly felt a special sense of closeness to Hannibal.
"Hannibal must have been a very capable commander, but it's clear that Rome was also a very powerful country."
"Since Hannibal chose to cross the Alps."
"So how much does it cost to lead the army to complete such a military adventure?"
“I’m very curious.”
Ancient people were basically very curious.
Because two consecutive videos about Hannibal have completely raised the atmosphere.
The ancients could all guess it.
Hannibal must have successfully crossed the Alps.
I just don’t know what the price was.
Perhaps you can refer to it if you are in a war?
