This news was quickly announced by Cheng Yaojin to his soldiers, and all the men were relieved. Although we are not afraid of death in battle, it is naturally better to live. The other party is so obedient... Then why should we risk our lives indiscriminately?
Just settle down and cultivate.
But Cheng Yaojin was a general after all, and he had some communication with Li Er.
The ports and trade may seem neutral, but in fact they are means of attracting gold arranged by His Majesty for Datang. The purpose is to continuously absorb gold and silver from foreign countries in order to prepare for bigger and more important strategies in the future. But now...
Datang’s new goal is naturally Rome!
After all, Rome was also a "court". It was different from ordinary tribes, local tyrants, and native chiefs. It had much more brains, and its population and land size were much larger.
For such a goal, not to mention Li Er and Wei Zheng, but also Li Sheng and the others, Cheng Yaojin also knew that the same work... had to be done more carefully and delicately.
Only when things are done delicately will they look clean and tidy.
It is precisely because of this that when sending the letter this time, Cheng Yaojin used his lifelong skills to write a rare and beautiful font.
And the content is even rarer, if it is not such a big thing...
With Cheng Yaojin's temper, how often would he be so polite to others?
But this is a conspiracy after all, and Rome is obviously not a lamb to be slaughtered.
But now...
As for the Romans, they actually sent a reply, and... they agreed directly to that!
This process was so smooth that it even made people feel so silky! Cheng Yaojin couldn't believe it for a moment.
Damn it... is there really such a good thing in the world?
Just give it to me for free?
What about Rome?... In this way, Rome will directly become the dumping ground for Datang in the future, as well as a provider of resources, gold and silver...
Isn't this exciting?
But that’s exactly what the letter says…
In an instant, the word "false surrender" popped up in Cheng Yaojin's mind.
The arrest of Moses Cassie...could it be said that it was a scam?
Taking advantage of Tang Jun's relaxation, he suddenly flashed forward and attacked instantly?
But that’s not right either…
It doesn’t make sense!
Cheng Yaojin immediately waved his hand and summoned the messenger.
"No? Are you sure? If there is even half a word that is untrue, military law will be dealt with!"
"General, there is absolutely no lie in what I say!"
I left the camp last night and went out to survey the surroundings. The spy who just came back today is a young man in his twenties.
When he spoke, his eyes were intense and his gaze was steady and unmoving. At first glance, he looked like a typical man from the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty.
And Cheng Yaojin observes words and expressions...
This young man not only has upright eyes, but also has an indescribable arrogance between his eyebrows, as well as a trace of... anger!
Obviously you are angry, what's wrong with you being a general? I risked my own skills to conduct repeated reconnaissance at different locations in strange places. Why don't you believe me? You don't respect me!
Such a look was obviously a bit disobedient to the superior officer, but Cheng Yaojin felt relieved for a moment... It seems that these young boys did not say how good they were at the investigation, but they did investigate with care.
There are indeed no traces of unusual military activities nearby!
So, what's going on...
Fake surrender is not "one" operation, it can only be "a set" of operations, a combination of punches.
The Roman army did not reach the necessary position to complete the false surrender. Is this a false accusation?...
To feign surrender, you first need to show weakness to the enemy. In addition to surrendering verbally and in writing, you also need to make the enemy feel that you are indeed unable to fight.
Of course, there is still evidence in this regard. For example, the Roman primary school who came to deliver the letter... looked like a bird that would die at the speed of light with its hands.
But...that's it?
In addition to showing weakness to the enemy, the real main force of the army must enter a certain position, right?
Fake surrender is effective only if the other party "thinks you have surrendered" at that moment, which will significantly lower their vigilance.
By seizing this time window, you can achieve a military effect similar to a dimensionality reduction strike, because the party being feigned surrender will be out of combat status in terms of consciousness and military arrangements.
And the length of this time window varies depending on the target of the fake surrender. It is very useful to treat the garbage army, because the Hanhan army can easily relax its vigilance. At this time, if you pretend to surrender realistically, it will just lie flat and spread out.
But if it is a relatively powerful regular army, this time window will be very short. In many cases, it will be almost no time. If you want to attack with a psychologically blind vision like that, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. At this time, for the main force,
The degree of concealment and proximity must be even higher - because you must be within a certain range of the target army before you can unleash an explosion in the fleeting time window.
It's just like in a game, pretending to be offline to induce the enemy to move randomly and use skills, and then suddenly hit him back. At low levels, pretending to be offline can make people relax for about three seconds, but at high levels it may
It takes just a second to react. As for the top player in the king's category, it doesn't matter how you pretend to be offline. They are simply unmoved and will not let down their guard even for a tenth of a second.
And at this moment...
Cheng Yaojin wondered, does the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty look a lot like an army of gangsters and are easy to deceive?
Not really...then why are there no military deployments nearby? Could it be that...could it be that the Romans had special concealment skills that allowed them to hide under their noses a super-large force capable of killing tens of thousands of troops in an instant?
Is this a bit...
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but subconsciously look at the telescope in his hand.
If this is the case, then you might as well start over again!
When the other party is so strong, it not only makes him look stupid, he looks like a fool.
but,
Based on truly rational considerations, if no trace is detected, it means that it has not been detected.
No matter how fierce the Roman army was, it was impossible for them to defeat the 50,000 imperial troops in their hands with a small number of troops.
No matter how cunning the Roman generals were, they could not hide a large number of troops nearby.
Then...after eliminating all impossibilities, what remains is the truth!
Cheng Yaojin inexplicably remembered what Li Sheng had said. Although it had been several years, he could not remember when Li Sheng said it... He vaguely remembered that Li Sheng seemed to have said that this was a man named Lu Xun.
Words of sages.
But none of this is important. There is only one important thing, and that is the conclusion.
Rome did not intend to take military action and agreed to Datang's request.
Of course, Cheng Yaojin was not a saint, and he would also feel nervous. As a general, he could not be completely at ease at any time, so Cheng Yaojin was still vigilant, and... he wrote a reply letter in very polite terms and handed it in.
I gave it to the Roman primary school, and verbally added my greetings to Rome.
