Chapter 436
Mediterranean, Carthaginian Roman front.
"Your Excellency General, the recent news from Great Qin has arrived. "
The arrival of the adjutant finally brought the Carthaginian commander Hannibal, who was staring at the map in a daze, to his senses and took a thick stack of papers.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to get a good rest, if you continue like this, you will be exhausted. "
Looking at Hannibal's thick dark circles, the adjutant couldn't help but speak.
"I'll take notice. "
"By the way, what is going on on the side of the Romans during this time? "
Hannibal waved his hand.
"During this time, due to the fact that Rome wanted to build a railway for the Great Qin people, there was a lot of dispute in the Senate, and Scipio sold several small tribes around him in order to appease everyone. "
"Now the Romans are busy plundering the Gauls and Germans while the weather is getting warmer, and they don't have time for another big war with us. "
"Even if they had arrived, and with the wise command of your Excellency, the General, we would have made the Romans suffer. "
The adjutant said with a confident face.
"Don't be careless, this Scipio is not a simple character, if he can spend such a large amount of money to paralyze the people of Daqin with a huge amount of money, it is impossible not to prepare in advance. "
"Even if those nobles are not small, it is impossible for Scipio to be unable to deal with it for so long, and now this move, I am afraid that it is deliberately shown, there must be some reason for it, it is likely to be a decisive battle with my Carthage. "
Hannibal said with a solemn face.
The whole Mediterranean is amazed by Hannibal's ability to lead the army into battle, but few people know that Hannibal's domestic talents are not much inferior to the military.
For Scipio's opponent, Hannibal conducted a comprehensive study, and knew that he was no less than himself, especially in domestic affairs.
It is impossible that after promising such a lot of oil and water, it is impossible to deal with the group of people in the Roman Senate.
"But the spies sent by our army recently have indeed not received any news of the assembly of the Roman army!"
"On the contrary, there is a part of the main Roman army that has been stationed on the front line for a long time, and it is gradually retreating and repairing, and the current number of people on the front line is not enough to launch an absolute battle!"
The adjutant couldn't help but wonder.
"Don't you think it's strange that the Romans are so bold in repairing it, aren't they afraid that I, Carthage, will take the opportunity to press it and defeat it in one fell swoop?"
"According to the words of the Great Qin people, this is called if things are abnormal, there must be demons, and the Romans must have deliberately made these methods to show us, in order to let us relax our vigilance in order to succeed in one fell swoop. "
"When the order goes on, be sure to be vigilant at all times, send three times more spies, and be sure to find out the true movements of the Romans. "
Hannibal commanded with a frown, and continued to look at the recent situation of Daqin in his hand.
At this glance, Hannibal's face suddenly became more solemn.
Before the Roman enemy was lifted, an even more terrifying tiger came outside, which was really a headache.
Even more troubling was the chaos within Carthage.
The nobles of the Roman Senate are already enough.
However, compared to the Carthaginian aristocracy, these Roman nobles were nothing short of exemplary.
At least when Rome was facing a threat of life and death, the Roman aristocracy repeatedly dispatched private troops to turn the tide and pull Rome back from the line of life and death several times.
And the Carthaginian nobles only cared about their own interests.
After Hannibal gained the advantage in a series of battles, he sent a report to return to China to ask for reinforcements, but he did not receive a response, and even a letter from the senator reprimanded Hannibal for his reckless military force, asking Hannibal to accept it when he saw it, and not to continue to consume Carthage's already insufficient national strength.
At that time, Hannibal was so angry that he almost didn't draw his sword and cut down the noble retainer who was in charge of delivering the letter.
But after calming down, Hannibal had no choice but to give up.
After all, he has more than 100,000 troops, which has made many Carthaginian nobles very jealous, if this noble retainer is really cut down, these nobles will definitely not mind the charge of rebellion directly on Hannibal. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The Carthaginian aristocracy has always had a fine tradition of being an insider in civil wars and outsiders in foreign wars.
Many Carthaginian nobles preferred to cede land to the Romans rather than want Hannibal to continue to win.
The fact that the Romans dared to withdraw their troops so unscrupulously and look for war planes must have been the information given by the magnates in Carthage.0
Hannibal had the urge to return to the court and raid the nobles first.
But it's all about it. []
After all, the whole family is in the capital.
Hannibal couldn't help but admire His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin.
It is said that just a few years ago, although Great Qin was powerful, it was far from being as unsurpassable as it is now.
And due to many reasons, Daqin is also facing the situation of traitors in the court, the emperor is old, and he is in danger.
Even His Royal Highness, who was only a prince at the time, was sent to the frontier.
As a result, His Royal Highness only had a few months, and he figured out the reality of the Huns in the steppe, personally led 10,000 iron horses, equipped with the new equipment invented by His Highness, and it took less than a month to capture two generations of Huns in a row.
It was a possession of more than 100,000 cavalry, which was more terrible than the Gauls and Germans combined, and both Rome and Carthage were afraid of a three-point enemy.
His Royal Highness also returned to the imperial capital with great military merits, became the crown prince, and swept away traitorous ministers, which soon turned Great Qin into a safe place, and entered a magical leap forward.
Hannibal thought it was a nonsense story.
However, according to the information transmitted from many sources, all this is a real reality.
This made Hannibal, for those His Royal Highness the Great Qin Prince, have to admire it a lot. 2.2
How nice it would be if such a person were born in Carthage!
But why, born in Daqin?
Even if he was lucky enough to defeat the Romans, and faced the Great Qin people, who were ten times more terrifying than the Romans, how should they deal with it like this?
Especially the group of nobles in the country who have already been intimidated and bought by Great Qin, I'm afraid that they will surrender before they fight, right?
Hannibal's heart couldn't help but feel infinitely melancholy.
The future of Carthage is really confused!
Even he didn't know how to continue.
Suddenly, Hannibal wondered what Scipio was thinking about the other side.
You must know that once the Suez Grand Canal is opened, the first to come into contact with the Great Qin soldiers is the Romans.
