Chapter 470 Caracalla’s helplessness (page 12)



Caracalla had a headache sitting in Severus' seat.

Rome is a mess right now, a particularly bad mess.

Being half-disabled is actually nothing. After all, many legions have become stronger, and the overall strength has not declined much. However, the complete lack of reserves is a thorny problem.

What's more important is that in the previous war, there were too many barbarians who survived, especially the barbarians who followed Xinghan, who had more than 50,000 double talents, and a large army command seed.

Of course, for Rome, these are just hidden dangers and problems. The real trouble is that after the war, a bunch of prisoners were captured and the Xinghan army squatted directly in Jumeng City.

Although it was to capture the escaped Timur, it was obvious that Xinghan didn't want to leave just like that.

Octavian and the others also told Caracalla the previous information. After knowing Xinghan's conditions, Caracalla actually breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not a majestic monarch, he is just a puppet who was temporarily pushed up. He understands this very well, but after sitting in this position, he does not want to leave just like that.

It is a good condition for him to accept Xinghan's conditions and use Xinghan as his backer to stabilize the turbulent situation within Rome.

However, Caracalla did not express his thoughts. He is just a puppet now, and he can only be a puppet. Only when everything is settled, will he become a consul who is not worthy of the name.

"Your Majesty, it's time to talk to Emperor Xinghan!" Afrikasna knocked on the door and walked in.

"Afrikasna, my brother, don't do this when you are alone!"

Seeing Afrikasna, Caracalla finally managed to smile. To a certain extent, the two of them share a destiny.

The emperor and the vice-emperor both died in battle, and now they can be regarded as hugging each other for warmth.

Before his death, Penilence also planned the future for Afrikasna. If Severus did not die, he would be loyal to Severus. If Severus died, then he would be loyal to Caracalla.

Afrikasner complied with Penilens' suicide note. Although he did not deal with Penilens, he knew that his father's talents were not comparable to his own.

"Let's call you Your Majesty. Next, the test we have to face will really begin!" Afrikasner had a bitter look on his face.

All the Roman legions chose neutrality. The imperial dream of Nigel and Arnubis was shattered by Penilens and Severus. Now it is blocked by their sons. The tenth knight cannot help but They may always support Caracalla, but their current status is nothing more than rootless duckweeds.

Although in the face of the Mongol Yuan, under the supervision of the Mandate of Heaven, all the Roman senators broke up their families and defended the country, but when the Mandate of Heaven dissipated and reason returned, the Roman senators had already begun to fight for their own interests.

The Spanish province, originally under the protection of Penilence and commanded by Tacito, has now become the focus of competition for the interests of all parties. A rich province is a piece of fat for all Roman senators.

This is how human beings are. Before catastrophe, ugly struggles for interests are the most common situation.

Caracalla and Afrikasner were just like Liu Xie and Liu Bian in Luoyang back then. They had no say in many things.

"Let's go!" Caracalla was a little sad. His power actually came from Xinghan, a nominal ally. It had to be said to be a kind of sadness.

The two sides met at the agreed venue. With Caracalla as the center, almost everyone came out of Rome. Although the Roman senators competed for interests, they still abided by the principle of one Rome tacitly.

It's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, they all understand this.

At Jia Xu's request, Mu Yi entered the venue early and took his seat.

Except for the generals and counselors who followed Han Xin out to hunt down the remnants of the Meng Yuan army, basically everyone was dispatched, including Lu Xun and Lu Meng. However, they were mostly brought over to watch and had no room to speak.

"The person who came here is evil!" Jia Xu looked at the Roman senators whose whole family was going into battle, with a flash of wonder in his eyes.

"We are the ones here!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Jia Xu speechlessly. How did Jia Xu introduce himself into the identity of the host so smoothly? It was obvious that they were guests.

"hehe!"

Jia Xu chuckled lightly and said nothing to Zhuge Liang. The moral standards of the two parties were not at the same level at all, and he did not want to argue with Zhuge Liang about this.

He couldn't change Zhuge Liang's thinking, and Zhuge Liang couldn't influence him. Arguing was just a meaningless waste of time.

That's why he asked everyone to enter the venue in advance and directly reverse the situation of host and guest. Of course, this is not a clever method, it is just a little trick on his part.

To those old guys, these means are nothing, but...

Jia Xu looked at Caracalla, who was walking in the center and front among everyone.

It's just a little trick, so there's no harm in giving it a try. They are destined to win, but winning more or less is the focus of their meeting this time.

Maximinus felt a little uncomfortable sitting in the Xinghan camp. His obviously huge body seemed inexplicably small at this moment.

At this moment, Maximinus was just a young man. Being able to become the commander of the barbarian army in Rome was already his limit.

After facing the position of Duke of the North promised by Jia Xu, he was unsurprisingly moved, so he appeared here, sitting in Xinghan's camp.

He knew that he was a pawn, but that was the position of a duke, a position that he would never find in his life.

The people in Rome noticed the presence of Maximinus, and their expressions became darker. Using barbarism to control barbarians was a major national policy of Rome, but now that it was used by Xinghan, they were very angry.

"Caracalla has met His Majesty the Emperor..." The awkward Chinese came out of Caracalla's mouth. No matter how strong the situation was, he had to say hello first.

"Your Majesty Caracalla doesn't have to be like this. I have been on good terms with His Majesty Severus for a long time. I just wish I hadn't met each other. Until we reach an agreement, Xinghan and Rome will still be allies!"

As soon as Mu Yi opened his mouth, the face of the Roman senator behind Caracalla changed slightly.

Caracalla cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and then both parties took their seats. The atmosphere in the venue instantly became tense.

Everyone knew that the next meeting would determine the future of an empire. Even for Xinghan, this was a very important meeting.

Jia Xu took a step forward and broke the seriousness.

"The first item on the agenda is about your intention to pay tribute to us and annex Xinghan in the name of a vassal state. This is also the biggest disagreement between us!"

"We will definitely not accept this condition!" Fiscal Pompianus stepped forward and refused directly.

"You must have extracted information about the Meng Yuan Empire from the prisoners. You should understand the situation of the Meng Yuan Empire!" Old God Jia Xu was here, and he did not feel angry at all after being rejected.

In negotiations, you are naturally very decisive at the beginning, but in many cases you cannot refuse if you want to.
