Moreover, if the Arabs were causing trouble, it would be impossible for Chai Shao, who was in charge of the Nanyang Navy, to be alerted.
Then it can only be Rome...
But Li Er was still very surprised, because he had not stopped collecting news from Rome since the eighth and half of the year of Zhenguan, but hadn't Rome been suppressing pirates recently?
Li Er was not an idiot. Of course, he knew that Rome must have other intentions in suppressing the pirates, such as occupying some strategic points to pose a military threat to a larger area... But these were not a big deal.
What can happen?
Then Li Er opened the memorial and knew what was going on.
...As if in the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Snapped!
With a crisp explosion, Li Er threw the memorial onto the imperial case.
His whole face turned a little blue.
At this moment, Li Er's chest rose and fell violently, and his face became extremely gloomy.
But after a moment... Li Er still just sighed!
"Alas... alas!"
Then half an hour passed, and Wei Zheng and other advisors from the Tiance Mansion also arrived and entered the Ganlu Hall!
And it didn't take long... this time it was really fast.
Wei Zheng and others also figured out what happened, and after they figured it out... Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji... their faces turned pale, and they all lowered their eyebrows.
It's pleasing to the eye, I bury my head and don't dare to look at Li Er's eyes...
Li Er's face turned dark, and he obviously looked like he was really going to get angry.
However, after an awkward silence between the monarchs and ministers in the palace, Li Er snorted angrily, and then spoke, "Okay, why are you pretending to be honest here? I haven't said what I want to do. Who hasn't?"
…”
Li Ergang wanted to say, "No one has time to make mistakes yet," but thinking about this matter is just too...
So in the end, it turned into a cold snort!
Then he said unhappily,
"Forget it, this has already happened, you should just... tell us what to do."
Li Er didn't mean much dissatisfaction, but in his opinion...this fact was a bit aggrieved. Originally, these guys were supposed to be able to predict and get it done. But now it is, but it is
…
Wei Zheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, which he could not tell whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
This is ridiculous...who would have imagined it.
The Romans simply sent out a few small groups of about 200 men and captured several pirate strongholds in Africa.
The Arab couldn't bear his violent temper and actually dispatched regular troops from the country on the spot.
Normally, this is not a problem... For example, when the Tang Dynasty wiped out the Turks, they were wiped out. There is nothing to say about this. But…
The opponents of the Arabs are not the "street thugs" like robbers and pirates, but Rome!
This is a huge thing. In other words...kill a group of pirates and leave the rest alone.
But destroying the Roman army...the remaining problems would be huge!
After the Romans' direct test, the Arabs actually fell into the trap and sent out a large number of regular troops, and what happened next was as expected...
The Romans were prepared from the beginning. It was only in the morning that the Arab army defeated the small group of Roman troops occupying the pirate camp. In the evening... no, not even in the afternoon, they were taken over by the Romans at noon.
The main force of the regular army swept directly.
Now that Arabia has lost troops and territory, the entire country has become precarious almost overnight!
And for Rome to be able to pull off such an action, there is no doubt that it was premeditated.
And this is what made Li Er feel crazy and Wei Zheng and other ministers thought it was outrageous.
Such a simple trick to lure the enemy, but the Arabs actually fell for it!
The most interesting thing this time is that the Arabs sent out to eat the Romans' 200-man squads were all about 5,000-man legions - you have to admit that the Arabs did this.
The matter is quite serious, because people try their best to fight the lion and the rabbit.
But this wave is very funny even if you try your best, because five thousand people seems to be a lot, but since the Romans are secretly planning to trick you, how can they use the same size of troops? The hidden strength is naturally calculated in tens of thousands.
Already.
If Wei Zheng had made such a mistake, he probably would have committed suicide without Li Er being punished. After all, it would be too embarrassing.
But Arabia really suffered from this disease this time, it is really...
However, at this awkward moment, Sun Wuji, the professional peacemaker on the side, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, this is also unthinkable... After all, I have been using overseas travels over the years to observe the situation in overseas countries.
Judging from China's standards, China is a place..."
"People in different regions sometimes have completely different temperaments... Looking at the Arabs' behavior, they are irritable and fierce, with a Jingchu style... But in China, this style must be controlled by the king, but the Arabs seem to be up and down.
This is the case everywhere..."
Saying this, Changsun Wuji raised his head and glanced at Li Er a little cautiously, fearing that he would make Li Er angry if he said something wrong.
However, as soon as he said these words, the atmosphere in the Manna Palace relaxed a lot. Fang Xuanling on the side even looked at Changsun Wuji with a secret smile on his face. His eyes were clearly...
Brother Zhangsun responded quickly enough, I give you a thumbs up!...
Changsun Wuji’s words have two meanings. The first is the situation in foreign countries. I, the Tang Dynasty, do not know enough about it. Many times, I judge others by myself... This rule seems reasonable, but it is within China.
It makes sense for an individual to travel around the world, but not necessarily for going out. Many times, people's way of looking at problems and even the underlying logic are different from yours.
And the current situation is like this, people in Arabia... people are like this, how can you speculate?
Of course, the Romans guessed the Arabs' methods...
But Rome and Arabia are neighbors, so it is natural to know more about it. It is even said that in the ancient times of Europe, the Persians fought with them during the Athenian dynasty - do you not understand this? I, the Tang Dynasty, can
There is no such opportunity.
Another meaning is that although things have already happened.
Now that the Romans are conquering cities in Arabia, they have gained great momentum and national prestige, but... our Tang Dynasty's heritage is no joke. What kind of talents do we not have? So your Majesty's mood... there is no need to be too anxious!
When these two meanings were spoken, as soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Fang Xuanling, who had always had a high emotional intelligence, naturally gave a secret thumbs up, and Li Er's mentality did become calmer.
