Chapter 636 The Enemy’s Enemy Is a Friend(1/2)

Hannibal in history was not sacrificed by the Senate after the defeat of the Zama War.

He lost military power and turned to internal affairs.

Because of previous military failures, Hannibal has been acting low-key.

But the corruption in Carthage's political situation prompted him to rectify it soon. After being elected as an administrator, he restored the prestige of this position and carried out a series of effective reforms, which made Carthage hopelessly less likely to be

In case of increased taxes, pay the war reparations against Rome in installments.

Seven years after the Battle of Zama, the Romans began to worry that the Carthaginians' recovery economy would pose another threat to them, and demanded that the Carthaginian government hand over Hannibal.

For this reason, Hannibal voluntarily exiled himself to Carthage.

The reason why Hannibal is now fast-forwarded to exile directly.

It has to be said that it has the most direct connection with Zhao Kun's appearance.

At this time, Hannibal, like Hannibal's early exile in history, no longer had any hope for the future of Carthage.

As an outstanding military strategist, he knew very well what Rome would do next.

Carthage, which rose in North Africa, actually has a territory that is far less than Rome.

During the more than ten years since Hannibal commanded the army, the two countries have been fighting continuously.

However, Carthage was not affected much.

The reason for this magical situation is entirely due to Hannibal's excellent strategy.

For more than ten years, the army he led has been fighting in the actual controlled area of ​​Rome, leaving Rome exhausted.

Moreover, Hannibal was generous and liked to spend money to hire some small countries and city-states to fight for him, and liked to make a profit.

Those countries have not been very good in the shadow of Rome.

Employers like Carthage are of course very popular with them.

This strategy is naturally good when the battlefield is smooth.

But once Carthage fails, the backlash it will be absolutely ten or a hundred times that of normal wars.

For those small countries that vassal Carthage, the biggest driving force that drove them to participate in the war was the war dividends promised by Hannibal.

This alliance that is completely bonded together by interests is actually very fragile.

Once this kind of benefit disappears, it will naturally lead to a disaster.

As for the country, although the Carthaginians' determination to fight was very strong.

But under Hannibal's leadership, the war has not burned the basic land of Carthage for many years.

This comfortable life has made many Carthaginians never consider the consequences of failure.

Once they face defeat, it is difficult for them to adapt psychologically quickly.

In contrast, Rome.

Compared with Carthage, although Rome won the victory, the anger in the hearts of the Romans was absolutely extremely high.

Even Hannibal himself admitted that the Romans wanted to destroy Carthage directly.

Actually, if you think about it normally, he can understand the Romans' ideas.

It's like two neighbors who have always disliked each other and would fight every now and then.

But when Carthage fights, he will spend money to hire people to fight, and the dead are people who have nothing to do with him.

But the Romans died all their relatives, friends, brothers and brothers.

The battle was defeated by those who paid for the money to hire people, but many people died in the family on the victorious side.

From this perspective, how could Rome give up?

It’s all my fault that I protected Carthage so well.

At this time, Hannibal had such a strange thought in his mind.

Under his command, the Carthaginians rushed into Rome, which could be said to have actually extended the border of Carthaginian.

Although the Romans won, they were also victorious in their own territory.

In fact, the basic land of Cartha was not under much threat.

It is precisely because of this that Rome today can endure Carthage's continued existence.

If the Roman army had invaded Carthage, there would have been no such country as Carthage in the world.

Thinking of this, Hannibal couldn't help but sneer.

Although Carthage was his motherland, he no longer wanted to maintain it at this time.

After all, in Hannibal's mind, Carthage betrayed him first.

It has been nearly half a year since he came to this small fishing village.

The reason I chose this place is because it is the intersection of Rome and the Kingdom of Pontus.

Here, you can receive information about the Kingdom of Hondu and the movements of the Eastern Roman Legion as quickly as possible.

As an excellent strategist, during the escape, Hannibal had roughly determined the next moves of Rome.

After defeating Carthage, huge war reparations and other war bonuses made Rome's strength leap again.

Carthage, who has lost his own, is already a dog without a climax, and it is not worth worrying about.

In the east of the mainland, the powerful country named Daqin, and exposed its fangs, headed westward.

The situation could no longer tolerate the fallen dog.

Hannibal himself could not judge whether the Qin Dynasty would continue to advance westward after destroying the Kingdom of Bendu.

However, as a leader of a country, you must get used to thinking about everything badly.

What's more, even after the Great Qin destroyed Bendu, he had no intention of continuing to advance westward.

Any Romans still have some blood, and they will never let the Qin Dynasty show their power at their doorstep.

Those Romans with muscles in their minds were missing anything, but they would not be ischemic.

Even Hannibal himself did not expect that the things he made casual arrangements and joined forces with the Kingdom of Bendu to do in the Qin Dynasty would develop to this extent.

Now it seems that things have succeeded, which is certainly good.

But it failed, and the result seemed not as bad as I thought.

The consequences that followed may be a good thing for you.

Hannibal's plan is not complicated.

He was preparing to go to the Qin Dynasty to meet with the Emperor Zhao Kun of the Qin Dynasty.

The war between two huge countries is about to begin. I believe that Daqin will not reject himself, who knows Rome well.

After all, the enemy is a friend.

At that time, I will lead the Qin army to complete my revenge on Rome.

As for Carthage, there was no need to continue to exist by that time.

Since they betrayed themselves, then let them end this shame with their own hands.

This morning, Hannibal discovered that there were suddenly many refugees on the sea who fled here.

Through inquiry, he knew that the stupid King Bendu had been killed by the Qin army five days ago.

It's time to show up on your own.

Hannibal couldn't help but smile.

He took out a fish from the wooden barrel and used his fingernails to break it open.

The smooth and tender sea fish kept struggling before dying, but could not escape from Hannibal's palm.

He threw the fish's internal organs aside, tore off a piece of fish meat, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

There is a pasture in the southeast corner of the Black Sea.

This area sandwiched between the large and small Caucasus mountains and the Black Sea is only twenty miles in radius, but the climatic conditions are extremely superior and it is the best natural pasture.

Before, this was the territory of the Antiko family, the founder of the Kingdom of Bendu.

Later, under the coercion of Zhao Kun, King III of Bendu pinched his nose and ceded the place to the Huns.

However, because this place is too small, it is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world.

If you reproduce here, it is definitely an excellent place.

But the Huns had no conditions or intention to recuperate at all, so this place was only handled by the old Shang Shanyu.

At this time, on this small grassland, looking around, there were dense tents and war horses.

In an ordinary military tent near the seaside, Zhang Han looked at the map in front of him and kept pondering.

That's right, the one stationed here is the Daqin Expeditionary Force that has disappeared from people's sight for a long time.
To be continued...
