Chapter 639
Wang Ben's words made Scipio's face change slightly, he didn't know that these were just Wang Ben's excuses.
After thinking about it, Scipio continued to speak:
"General Wang Ben, you must know that Rome has long lived up to the grand occasion of the past. Since Hannibal led an army of 20 from Carthage to attack Rome, Rome has been retreating steadily."
"Our border fortress in Rome, as well as the surrounding cities, were captured by the Carthaginian army. Rome must avenge this hatred!"
"Now our two countries are countries of in-laws, with Great Qin, the 20 Great Qin army under General Wang's command, and the heavy artillery and firearms invented by His Royal Highness Ying Yu, we are sure to be able to defeat Hannibal and Carthage's 20 troops , even if the 20 army of Carthage cannot be wiped out, it must be possible to drive Hannibal and the [-] army of Carthage out of Rome."
"As long as Hannibal and Carthage's 20 troops are driven out of Rome, then the crisis in Rome will be truly resolved. Only then will Rome have the opportunity to cultivate and recover, and make a comeback."
"And the alliance between Rome and Great Qin, if Rome becomes stronger, it will be a good thing for Great Qin."
Scipio took a deep breath, stared at Wang Ben, and said calmly.
"Your Excellency the Consul, although I have brought troops here to reinforce your Rome, I have not received an order to help Rome defeat Hannibal and Carthage's 20 troops."
"Therefore, the general will never put the soldiers in danger, after all, the 20 Carthaginian troops in Hannibal's hands are not vegetarian.
With 20 against [-], even if it is a victory, it is a tragic victory, and the casualties must be heavy.
When the time comes, how will you ask Ben to explain to His Majesty, how to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and how to explain to the families of those soldiers who died in battle? "
"Besides, when we came to reinforce Rome this time, the heavy artillery shells and firearms carried by our army are not many. If the shells and fireballs are exhausted, then these two weapons will become decorations and have no lethality at all."
"At that time, if Hannibal cannot be eliminated, or his army is seriously injured, what should we do?"
Wang Ben calmly talked about his difficulties.
"This......"
"But now is a good time to eliminate Hannibal and the Carthaginian army. If you miss this opportunity, wait until Hannibal leads the army to make full preparations in the border fortress. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to drive out of Rome."
Hearing Wang Ben's words, Scipio frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency the Consul, with the current strength of our Great Qin, Hannibal and Carthage's 20 troops are no problem at all. Although this general is not qualified, this general can pass your wishes back to Great Qin."
"Presumably His Royal Highness will definitely send reinforcements after hearing the news."
Seeing the flash of displeasure in Scipio's eyes, Wang Ben didn't take it seriously, but suggested softly.
"So good."
"Then I'll wait for the good news."
Having said all this, Scipio couldn't continue to force Wang Ben to send troops, so he could only agree.
"In that case, the book will be revised later and given to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Our Qin army has traveled thousands of miles to come to support us. Now that we are out of people and horses, please ask the consul to arrange a city for my Qin army to rest!"
"In addition, heavy artillery and firearms are too important. This general must be careful. Therefore, the management of this city must be handed over to Daqin. Please forgive me, Your Excellency the Consul."
At this time, Wang Ben suddenly got up and said lightly.
Wang Ben's words immediately made Scipio very unhappy, even a little angry.
Isn't it an obvious grab for the management right of a city?
Although Scipio was angry in his heart, he didn't show it.
After all, the 20 Carthaginian army led by Hannibal is still in Rome, and the crisis has not yet been lifted.
Wang Ben and his [-] Qin army are now their only reliance on Rome, so he can only endure.
"no problem."
"Then please wait a moment, General Wang and all the officers and men, and I will arrange it right away."
Scipio forcibly suppressed the displeasure and anger in his heart, then turned and left.
After half an hour.
Under Scipio's order, a moderately large city was prepared.
After Wang Ben led [-] Great Qin soldiers into the city, he directly took over the city defense and took control of the city.
"As long as we have this city in our hands, then my Great Qin will have a firm foothold in Rome. This will be of great help to His Royal Highness in conquering the Western Regions in the future."
"Come here, report all the battles in Rome to our dynasty, and at the same time convey Scipio's words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Standing on the city wall, Wang Ben looked at the vast expanse of land in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Yes! General!"
Hearing Wang Ben's words, a lieutenant responded, then turned and left.
.........
Two days later.
Great Qin Xianyang City, Qilin Palace court meeting!
"Father, this is Wang Ben's report about all the wars in Rome and the general situation, as well as Scipio's request."
Ying Yu looked at Ying Zheng on the throne, took out Wang Ben's letter from his bosom, and handed it over.
"Very well, Wang Ben did not disappoint me."
"As for Sidiot's request, what do you think?"
After reading the contents of the letter, Ying Zheng smiled, and then set his eyes on Ying Yu.
"Return to the words of the emperor."
"The reason why my Daqin sent 5 soldiers to reinforce Rome is because my minister and Sophie just got married, and Rome is a country of in-laws. [-] people are already benevolent!"
"The meaning of this Sidio is that I want Daqin to send troops to destroy the 20 Carthaginian army led by Hannibal. This is a little bit of an inch."
"As long as it's a war, there are no immortals. I, the Great Qin soldiers, have no obligation to help Rome desperately."
"Besides, if we help Rome annihilate the 20 Carthaginian army led by Hannibal, then Wang Ben and his [-] soldiers will have no excuse to stay in Rome. .”
"All, from my son's point of view, just ignore Scipio's request."
After Ying Yu finished speaking, Ying Zheng pondered for a while, then nodded slightly:
"Scipio wants to be an empty-handed white wolf."
"Come here, immediately convey the prince's intentions to Wang Ben."
Ying Zheng smiled very satisfied with Ying Yu's words.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
As Ying Zheng spoke, a servant bowed and clasped his fists, and after a respectful reply, he left.
