Ganassis was completely confused at this moment. What was happening in the Mesopotamia was enough to drive him crazy. But something like this happened to Media. Do you want him to die?
"Usnafaso!" Ganassis greeted to the side immediately, and soon his adjutant appeared in front of him.
"Organize a team of elites and go to Media Trading City as quickly as possible to investigate." Ganassis handed the secret report to Usna Faso, and then directly ordered.
Usnafaso was confused after hearing the words, so he took the secret letter and took a look. At that moment, Ganassis could clearly see that the other person's eyes were bulging, and then his temperament became much gloomier.
"What are the Han Dynasty doing?" Usna Faso naturally considered whether the Han Dynasty was behind this matter. After all, it was the Trading City of Media, and even if Rome took action, it would take some effort.
At this stage, only the Han Dynasty can be captured without their own intelligence personnel knowing what happened, because after Ma Chao submitted an application to go to Northern Europe last year, only the Han Dynasty was in charge of Media.
.
"Do you think it's a Han Dynasty?" Ganassis asked looking at his adjutant.
"Except for the Han Dynasty, there is no other enemy that can capture Media Trading City before we receive the news." Usna Faso said coldly, "To capture the Han Dynasty garrison, there are several Han Dynasty garrisons.
It is impossible to defeat a large city with nobles wandering around the periphery without a large-scale elite enemy force."
It is impossible to hide traces with a large-scale enemy army, and the Romans are not blind. Although they do not care about the Han Dynasty enfeoffing Central Asia, a basic intelligence organization still needs to be established!
As long as such large-scale elites who can quickly capture the trading city of Media appear in Central Asia, the Romans will receive the news.
"There is no point for the Han Dynasty to do this." Ganassis thought for a while and said. Compared to his adjutant, a general who did not understand politics, he had a more accurate view of the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Rome.
"But..." Usna Faso's face turned livid when he heard this. If this is the case, then the opponent must be at least the level of the 10th Legion. They can rely on day and night to deceive others, and after arriving at the city, they can take down Media in one go.
.
The problem is that there are only four such legions in the whole world now, three of them are still in Northern Europe, and the only one left is Aldashir. Now the question is, how can Aldashir do it without the acquiescence of the Han Dynasty?
Can we reach Media?
"Send someone to determine the situation, and then organize the elite backbone and prepare to bring the Duke's Guard to retake Media." Ganassis interrupted Usnafaso's unnecessary words.
After hearing this, Usnafaso didn't say much and turned to leave, while Ganassis looked at the secret report with an uncertain expression on his face.
In Chang'an, Zhen Yan took the transfer order signed by Chen Xi and came to look for Weiwei Ruan Gong. When he came, he found that Ruan Gong was giving lectures to his daughter. There was no way, the Ruan family's daughter was too ugly.
As I grew older, I became even uglier. I went to a girls' school with girls of the same age, and it was said that I was bullied continuously.
Ruan's daughter herself did not suffer any blow. She just studied what she should and ignored it indifferently. But she had nothing to do and went to the girls' school to see how her only daughter was living. Ruan Gong suffered a critical blow. Mom
Yes, I am also a minister, how about Wei Wei! You actually bully my daughter.
He didn't beat the girls who were bullying his daughter, he just called the parents.
The female students in Chang'an know everything about everything. Their families are either rich or noble, so who is afraid of whom? The other party is not easy to mess with. He said that he could apologize, but Ruan Cong believed that an apology would not solve the problem.
This has angered the other party. I am from a noble family, and my legitimate daughter goes to school here. I met a classmate who is very ugly. Isn’t it okay to tell the truth? Damn it, a gentleman treats others with sincerity, but you don’t even acknowledge the facts?
The two sides started a duel.
After all, Ruan Gong is a guard. In the past few years, he has specially trained to strengthen his actual combat ability, and secretly refined his elite talents. He won the battle and defeated everyone.
The problem is that beating people to the ground is useless. The Ruan girl is really ugly, and the Ruan Communist Party's force is not enough to reverse the fact. In desperation, they can only suspend school, and they also suspended their school. I go home and do it myself.
To teach my daughter, fuck, I really think I am uneducated.
When Zhen Yan came, it was Ruan's daughter who was asking questions, and Ruan Gong was doubting life.
Ruan Gong is really talented and learned, but he can't stand the fact that Ruan's daughter is extremely talented and ugly, but she is really smart, especially when she was a teenager. Some of the questions asked by Ruan Gong really made it impossible for Ruan Gong to answer.
The arrival of Zhen Yan gave Ruan Gong a chance to breathe.
"Marquis of Ancheng." Ruan Gong was worried that he would be doomed if he continued to ask questions from his daughter. When Zhen Yan appeared in his eyes, he quickly stood up and saluted first.
"I've seen Weiwei." Zhen Yan quickly returned the greeting, and before she could say anything, she saw Ruan Gong leading her away. Although she didn't know why, she didn't resist. As for Ruan's daughter, she had a thoughtful expression on her face. She could feel it.
To his father’s confusion when faced with his own questions.
After bringing Zhen Yan out, Ruan Gong realized that Zhen Yan looked wrong, and his temperament did not have the suave and free feeling before. Instead, he felt a little more confused and melancholy.
"Brother Zhen, what's wrong with you?" Ruan Gong asked with a bit of weirdness, "This situation is not right today."
"Hey, something happened at home. I just came from Marquis Chen. This is a transfer order. I need to mobilize five hundred imperial guards." Zhen Yan didn't want to say what happened to her family. She just took out the transfer order printed by Chen Xi and handed it to him.
Ruan Gong.
Chang'an generally does not allow guest troops to enter the city. There are also clear limits on the number of private soldiers and guards of each family. As for the mobilization of imperial guards, five hundred people is considered the maximum size.
After receiving the seal, Ruan Gong compared it, and after confirming it was correct, he looked at Zhen Yan, consciously understanding why the other party acted like this.
"Follow me to the Forbidden Army. Do you want me to choose for you?" Ruan Gong asked with some tentativeness. In his opinion, this situation probably meant that there was a thief in the Zhen family, and Chen Xi discovered it, so Zhen Yan was asked
Dispose first before the state handles it.
Ruan Gong didn't have any deep feelings about this. He just felt that Chen Xi was always kind.
"We need some strong ones." After Zhen Yan handed the transfer order to Ruan Cong, he no longer looked confused. He opened the bow without turning back. He knew this, and there wasn't much reason. He just didn't want to die.
.
"There are several top veterans recovering here who have not left recently." Ruan Gong said with a smile.
"Is the armor complete?" Zhen Yan asked calmly.
"Normal palace guards don't wear heavy armor like those on the battlefield. After all, they have to balance image and combat effectiveness." Ruan Gong did not answer directly, but the reason he gave was enough.
"Can the equipment from the imperial guard treasury be worn by these imperial guards?" Zhen Yan asked expressionlessly. Ruan Gong couldn't help but pause for a moment and turned to look at Zhen Yan, whose eyes were extremely calm.
"I remember that there should be some etched Yuanrong crossbows in Chang'an's treasury, and they have also been assembled." Zhen Yan looked at Ruan Gong calmly.
Zhen Yan has thought it through. There is no special reason for him. From a small sect to a large sect, he can inherit the position of the head of the family, inherit the title of Marquis of Chengyang, and then reward the Marquis of Ancheng. He has not enjoyed enough. He wants to continue this kind of life.
, he doesn’t want to die.
"This transfer order only asks me to mobilize five hundred imperial guards for you. If you call the etched Yuan Rong crossbow, the loss of materials needs to be filled in by me." Ruan Gong looked at Zhen Yan and said, "Besides, in Chang'an City, the five hundred imperial guards
The Guards are enough."
"All the losses will be borne by our Zhen family." Zhen Yan calmly took out a stack of golden exchange notes from his sleeve. These were large-amount exchange notes issued by Chang'an Bank and would only be used for large transactions.
"It may use up a lot of etched crossbow arrows, secret medicine, and some consumable materials." Zhen Yan stuffed a stack of gold tickets into Ruan Gong's hand, "If these are not enough, the Zhen family still has more. In this world, there are more.
There are no more than three wealthy families in my Zhen family."
"The Imperial Guard's treasury cannot be touched at will." Ruan Gong looked at this stack of large gold tickets, at least 100 million yuan, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"But the imperial guards can draw from it. It's just that the Zhen family's consumption is larger this time, so we can compensate." Zhen Yan took out another stack and gave it to Ruan Gong, "If this is not enough, I will make up for it next time."
"It's too much, I don't dare to ask for it." Ruan Gong refused. For the first time, he had a clear understanding of the wealth of the Zhen family. He, Ruan Gong, had accumulated so much over the years, and Zhen Yan could only afford so much now.
"It's okay, just think of it as the deposit I paid to the imperial guard's treasury. It may cost more, and I will have to make up for it at that time." Zhen Yan said calmly, "The etched weapons and equipment, the special secret medicine, this time
I need them all, and if I have more, I can just treat the guard to a drink with the remaining money."
Ruan Gong was persuaded by Zhen Yan. After filing the transfer order, he selected 500 elite veterans who were armed to the teeth for Zhen Yan.
"Next, I need you all to go to my Zhen family to counter the rebellion. Unfortunately, some evil things have happened to our family. If I bother you, my Zhen family will make compensation afterwards." Zhen Yan bowed to a group of guards who were armed to the teeth.
At the same time, the Zhen family's clan elders in Chang'an also received news from Midea. In the messy house, several clan elders looked at the others present with ferocious expressions.
"Who is eating the inside out?" Zhen An looked at the other clan elders with a ferocious expression.
Unlike Zhen Yan, who knew nothing, these clan elders knew the situation of the Zhen family very well. Because of their knowledge, they knew how much trouble the fall of Media would cause.
Not to mention the fast-growing rice seeds that Rome deposited in Media, nor the tribute-level silks, just the prohibited materials, various steel ingots, armors, and weapons in Media were enough to expose these guys present.
It's time to drink a pot.
It is true that selling armor and weapons abroad is not a fatal weakness. Yuan Yang, Er Cui and Wang San said with conscience, who has never done this before, when there is no money, no supplies, and it is particularly chaotic, weapons and equipment are
hard currency.
No one has done this secretly when each family is short of supplies. This kind of thing is nothing to the Zhen family, let alone selling weapons to European barbarians.
But with the fall of Media, these problems would be really fatal if they were put under the sun.
"How could it suddenly fall? We have many guards in Media, and there are many top veterans we poached at a high price." Faced with the accusations from clan elders from other branches, Zhen Ming retorted unceremoniously.
"Yes, we have more than 2,400 guards in Media! And they are all carefully selected by us and hired from all over the country at high prices. How could this be possible?" Zhen Yan's younger brother Zhen Yao also looked at it crazily.
Said to others.
Compared with Zhen Yan, Zhen Yao was unable to become the head of the family due to the difference in age. Keqin Ge became the head of the family, and his status also increased. And unlike Zhen Yan who only wanted to live a life of debauchery, Zhen Yao was more
Ambition, many matters in the Zhen family are actually handled by Zhen Yao, and Zhen Yao also enjoys this kind of powerful life.
Especially after Zhen Yan completely delegated power and allowed Zhen Yao to handle everything in the clan, Zhen Yao became more actively involved in this struggle and took the Zhen family to a higher level.
But one thing is very important, that is, Zhen Yao has never had any idea of overthrowing his brother and ascending to the throne on his own. Zhen Yan didn't know anything about it. It was purely because Zhen Yao felt that his brother didn't like vulgar things and he could handle it himself, so
Didn't say anything.
The fact that Zhen Yan could take out hundreds of millions of dollars worth of exchange notes from his sleeves is enough to illustrate the problem. The puppet may not have to worry about food and clothing, but it is impossible to just take out a sum of money that can be used to build a power.
Liu Tong was not considered a puppet. A very important point was that the money in Liu Tong's hands was enough for Liu Tong to form a political gang, and even enough to build a fiefdom in advance, but Liu Tong didn't do it.
"The fact is that it has fallen!" Zhen An looked at Zhen Yao indifferently, "What should we do now?"
"At least we need to know how it fell before we can consider recapturing Media." Zhen Ming looked at the others with cold eyes.
"Dang, dong, dong, dong." At this moment, a heavy ringing of the bell came from outside the door. This was a signal from the Zhen family, and a signal from the head of the family to summon all the clan members.
"Why is the head of the family summoning us at this time?" Zhen An had a gloomy expression on his face. "Let Zhen Ling attend on my behalf. Let's discuss how to solve the Midea issue first."
"Go to the meeting first." Zhen Yao said coldly. It is impossible to discuss anything now. We have to wait for the second round of reports to know exactly what happened. There is no point in discussing it here in a vacuum. Moreover, such a major matter must be
Report to the owner of the house.
After Zhen Yao left, Zhen An looked at Zhen Yao's back, and then looked at the people present with a gloomy look, "Have Midea's guards been transferred to Kandahar?"
"Cao Mengde compensated Kandahar to us. We also need to take over and build some signs, and indeed mobilized part of the guards to go to Kandahar." Zhen Ming replied with a gloomy look.
I got an Apple 15 in the lottery and I was shocked.
