Therefore, Hannibal also calculated correctly that the Tang army's ability to maintain was extremely poor, so he chose to stay put!
However... just after January passed, I received a letter from Tang Jun.
When the soldiers reported that there was a letter from the enemy, Hannibal almost fainted with excitement.
Does the other party want to surrender?
This may be a bit too small when you think about it.
However, Hannibal also had other reasons for being happy and excited.
Since the cost of stationing the Tang Army is extremely high, it is impossible for them to stay idle and do nothing.
Whether it is a monarch of a country or a general commanding soldiers, Du Wu is undoubtedly committing suicide.
But since the other party really didn't do anything... I guess the other party is also afraid of his own legion.
Then, they must have a chance, an opportunity that can determine the outcome.
With such an opportunity, they can launch a large army and launch an attack without annihilating the entire army - with such a long supply line, what is the failure of the attack but not the annihilation of the entire army?
And this kind of opportunity... Hehe, thanks to Hannibal I's secret blessing and reminder, he did not do anything.
There are many disadvantages to not moving, but there is only one advantage, and that is that you will not give your opponent a chance.
At this time, the competition is about whose supply line is shorter and more stable! And I undoubtedly have an advantage in this aspect, so...
Where are the tens of thousands of people in Tang's army? It's impossible to stand still and do nothing at the same time. It must be... at least the investigation is definitely being done.
Then, the Tang army will also understand its disadvantage in supply speed.
My Roman legion's food transportation cycle only lasted two weeks, while the Tang army's took two months!
For such a long time, Tang Jun must not be able to keep glaring at his own legions. Then, if he can't wait for the opportunity...
Tang Jun, does he have to try to actively create opportunities?
That's why Hannibal wants to laugh.
Want to expose yourself with just one letter? That’s ridiculous!
How could he be fooled by such a mere trick?
Without opening the letter, he could guess what was on it.
Even if he couldn't guess it, it didn't matter, because Hannibal knew that the envelope was probably meant to lure him into mobilizing his legion for action.
As long as the legion takes action, the opponent will have a chance when he originally had no chance...
That’s the one who sees through everything!
Hannibal opened the letter with a sneer, and shook his head with a sneer in his heart.
The Eastern Empire, that’s it?
However, when the letter was actually opened, Hannibal was stunned.
"etc……"
…
Because there is a Tatar next to me.
Hannibal, on the other hand, relied heavily on the Tatar's wisdom and built many things that he had never seen before and that Rome did not have at all.
For example, cement firing kilns, new blacksmithing technology, and papermaking...
This thing called paper is incredibly easy to use, much more powerful than parchment paper.
Because of these things, Hannibal also slowly learned the writing of the Tang Dynasty on the road of building a beautiful new Rome - strangely enough, the writing of the Tang Dynasty was called "Han" by the Tatar King, and this "
"Han" is said to be an empire that existed long ago in the Tang Dynasty.
Hannibal also asked a question specifically, and this question really felt like... there was a sense of fate in it.
The Han Empire at that time, its ancestors Hannibal, and Caesar...these Roman heroes were actually from the same era as the Han Empire at that time, and it seemed...
There have been messengers and letters coming and going!
But Rome has gradually declined since the death of Caesar and Hannibal. Today, little Hannibal can only reminisce and daydream.
Of course, the important point at this moment is that Hannibal himself can read the letters sent by the Tang Dynasty.
and……
It made him faint immediately.
"...There is no intention to fight, just to protect the trade routes and suppress bandits...Do you mean bandit? To fight against bandits?"
"Wish to have friendly exchanges and exchanges with Rome...Business travel???"
As soon as the letter was opened.
Directly, it made Hannibal confused!
this……
I had thought that the Tang army might use various means to fight with me, induce me to take action, and find out the flaws of the Roman legion.
But what happened to this letter?
The other party seemed to have no such idea at all, and did not mention any military issues in the whole article, but just asked for trade!
this……
It’s so weird!
Bringing tens of thousands of troops all the way out, how much rations will be consumed? Not to mention transporting rations, a large amount of rations will be consumed on the road!
Everything in the world depends on one material, and Hannibal knew this clearly - it was precisely because he had various materials that were far more powerful than other forces that he stood out from the chaotic world of Eastern Europe and fought his way back to Rome.
And the Tang Army's garrison, which cost a lot of money, was just for business and trade?
Hannibal had a question mark on his face!
…
The thing was so incredible that Hannibal read it several times after opening the envelope, but still...
Didn't find anything suspicious.
First of all, the person who delivered the letter was a Tatar soldier, whose facial features Hannibal himself had seen personally - he was of the same bloodline as his Tatar friend Wang.
Eastern Europe is a strange place, and I haven't seen much of it.
As for the letter itself, it is undoubtedly paper - this thing is a good thing that I have only recently made...
It is much more comfortable and easier to write on than sheepskin.
And the extremely clear ink marks on it are even more pleasing to the eye——
I have not been able to achieve such an effect so far. Because the paper produced by my papermaking workshop is always...
No matter how much I ordered the craftsmen to be smart and not to be cunning, the quality of the paper was not as good as the paper used for this letter.
Once the ink is stained, there will always be slight smudge marks - it doesn't look clear enough.
As for the letter this time, the font looks quite small, but the ends of many "strokes" and the details of the corners are not blurry at all.
This also makes the entire letter extremely clean and clear on paper.
It’s a pleasure to look at! It’s like a work of art…
So the question is, how did Hannibal see today's letter before and compare it with the paper he made?
...The reason is very simple. At that time, Hannibal had a manual written by his good brother King of the Tatars. That manual...
The fonts above are exactly the same as the letters I saw this time!
In short, Hannibal has never seen Apple's electronic products. If he had seen it... he would definitely use the smell of apple to describe the feeling.
Because of Li Sheng’s appearance...
The quality and reputation of today's Made in Tang Dynasty are almost equivalent to those of Li Sheng's apples in his previous life...
