The legion commander was suspicious of Hannibal, but there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him,

This is also a normal reaction of the other party.

After all, they had expected this result for a long time.

But in any case, the relationship between the other party's daughter and Huaxia's prince is so close, there must be something wrong!

The reason why he didn't tell the Roman messenger the news immediately was because he was worried about the current turmoil.

Now is the time to prepare for war, Huaxia may attack at any time,

At this time, there was a problem with the commander-in-chief of Rome. Even if the other party did not have real power, it would have a great impact.

The simplest, the five army commanders who come here will probably all compete for the position of commander-in-chief.

But just let it go, if the other party really has a secret connection with Huaxia,

If he lost this war, he was the sinner of the whole of Rome!

For a while, the legion commander was in a dilemma. At this moment, the voice of his companion came from the side,

"Why are you here, the messenger is losing his temper there, it seems that you are not going well in China."

"I told you long ago that we shouldn't go to the peace talks this time. They will definitely not agree, but will show weakness."

"It's time for a fight. It hurts them so they can honestly talk to us."

The legion commander turned his head and saw his companion standing there with some schadenfreude,

So a little helpless, go back,

"Okay, don't say anything more at this time, the messenger should blame us again."

The reason why the opponent is so arrogant has a lot to do with their performance in the first battle.

The consul also already knows the truth, and it is not wise to provoke the messenger now.

At that time, if they were defeated, they would count on the messenger to speak to them.

Hearing this, the companion said with a bit of disdain,

"Do you think we won't have a problem if we don't mess with him?"

"Everything depends on the final result. If we lose, the Senate will definitely make someone responsible, and you and I have already lost once. You said they didn't look for us, who would they look for?"

"So this battle, we cannot lose."

Hearing this, the legion commander suddenly showed a wry smile. At that time, they underestimated the strength of those Huaxia people, and as a result, they almost collapsed directly, giving others a lie.

Of course it's no one's fault.

It's just that he can now fully understand why the opponent has been fighting, because if they don't fight, then all the responsibility will fall on them.

Play a game, if you win it's so natural, there's no problem,

If they lose, although they will take some responsibility, they will also let the people of the Senate see clearly,

It's not that they are incompetent, it's that everyone can't beat them.

Sure enough, his friend still has wisdom.

Thinking of this, the Legion Commander moved in his heart. He was about to find someone to discuss Hannibal's affairs, and now was a good opportunity.

So soon, it said,

"These are all for later, but there is one thing to discuss with you, come with me."

The legion commander glanced at Hannibal who was not far away, and then walked to the side with the other party.

Of course these things cannot be known by the other party.

After the backs of the two disappeared, Hannibal frowned and looked over.

He is neither stupid nor blind, of course he recognized the legionnaire disguised as a follower,

And the two just stood there talking, and he noticed it too.

I didn't want to worry about it at first, but the other party just took a look at him and left after taking a look at him. There will be some problems here.

After thinking about it, Hannibal didn't say anything, and called his confidant, who was also a good player in the army.

ordered.

The confidant followed up covertly.

At this time, the legion commander had brought his companions to a corner,

Looking at each other's appearance, the companion couldn't help but say with a smile,

"How come we are also noble nobles, what shameful words are you going to say?"

The legion commander didn't care about the other party's ridicule at this time,

After looking around, he said bluntly to his companion,

"I saw Hannibal's daughter in Huaxia's military camp today!"

despair!

There was a soft sound, and the companion couldn't help but take a step back, and then reacted with a bit of disbelief and asked,

"how can that be!"

Although he didn't trust Hannibal, he never thought that the other party would link up with Huaxia.

It's not about how much you trust the other person's character.

However, there is not much contact between China and Rome itself.

Yes, and Hannibal was from Carthage, it is even more impossible for the two sides to have contact in advance.

The confrontation between the two armies has not been here for a long time.

To put it badly, even if Hannibal really wanted to betray them, he didn't have the time and opportunity.

So no one will doubt that.

Hearing this, the legion commander also showed a wry smile and said,

"I think the same as you, but in fact I saw his daughter there."

"And he also talked and laughed with the prince of Huaxia."

The legion commander quickly explained what he saw clearly.

There is no exaggeration, and there is no concealment, which is related to the entire war situation.

After listening to the companion, his expression slowly became solemn, and then said,

"I just remembered one thing. Do you remember the first time we sent a messenger there and what the messenger told us after he came back?"

The legion commander thought for a while, then shook his head,

"I can't remember exactly."

The first time I sent a messenger, it was just to make sure that both parties had the will to talk.

There was no substantive news, and he naturally didn't care about too many details.

At this time, the companion said very seriously,

"I remember clearly. After the messenger came back, he said that he saw a general of Huaxia, and he also met the prince of Huaxia when he left."

"The prince was receiving a distinguished guest at that time."

"Do you think that distinguished guest is his daughter?"

Hearing this, the legion commander could not help but take a breath.

"Have they been in contact at that time?"

"Actually, using a caravan to get news is just an excuse!"

"He wants to get in touch with Huaxia!"

For a moment, the legion commander only felt that everything was right,

No wonder Hannibal was not surprised by Huaxia's reaction.

No wonder there are so many Chinese books at home,

No wonder the daughter left with the caravan,

No wonder he agreed to attack China with his own hands!

Thinking of this, the legion commander quickly asked,

"Where are his men?"

The companion thought for a while, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party and quickly said,

"After we agreed yesterday, when you set off today, I saw their people have already set off."

Hearing this, the legion commander frowned even more deeply.

"So anxious?"

It stands to reason that this matter is not a good thing. He can understand that the other party finds an opportunity to delay for a while.

But I didn't expect that the other party actually acted so fast!

It's like trying to get things done before they get back.

When the companions on the side heard this, they originally wanted to say that the time was indeed urgent, and it was normal to be anxious.

And it is also beneficial to the progress of the war.

But now that this has happened, everything has to be reconsidered.

After thinking about it for a while, the companion quickly said with a solemn expression,

"You suspect he has other thoughts?"

The legion commander hesitated for a moment, then nodded and returned,

"Do you remember his request? He wants a piece of land to stand on his own, which shows that he has such a mind."

"This time we forced him to send all the people out, which can be said to be the result of death, so what does he need so much land for?!"

"If I were him, I might as well cooperate with Huaxia. With his daughter as a bridge, Huaxia will definitely agree!"

After listening to the commander's words, the companion's expression suddenly changed, and then asked,

"Are you sure?"

In fact, he didn't like Hannibal for a long time. If it was before, he would definitely tell the messenger the news directly, and then fight for the position of commander himself.

But the last time the opponent used the command to prove his strength, and at the moment of the war, he knew the consequences of chaos at this time.

Roma will most likely lose, and he can't afford to lose now.

The legion commander shook his head with a wry smile and said,

"Who can have absolute certainty about this kind of thing."

Both of them were silent for a while.

After a while, the legion commander said involuntarily,

"Why don't we keep this matter a secret for the time being and send someone to monitor him closely."

"As long as he is still here, people outside can't make waves."

The companion thought about it and nodded.

All the noble families today are similar in pattern. The owner of the family is the backbone.

When the master dies, all the honors and positions will be dissipated. Without cohesion, the family will also be disintegrated.

So as long as they keep their eyes on Hannibal, they still have the initiative.

Of course, there is another point, even if they can send people to call them back now,

But then what?

Who is the task of raiding?

Who wants to take someone to die?

Therefore, without absolute certainty, it is impossible for them to decide on their own.

The two reached an agreement and quickly left here without staying any longer.

Just after the two left, a figure came out from the dark, and looked at the direction where the two left with a complicated look.

Then he walked towards Hannibal's tent.

It arrived soon, and there were familiar hellos all the way outside the tent.

After all, those who can stay outside Hannibal's camp are all these years, who have been following his personal escort

In fact, the relationship between everyone has long been no different from that of the family.

At the entrance of the tent, the captain of the guard said with a smile,

"Why are you so sullen today, who made you unhappy again?"

Before he could answer, a guard on the other side said listlessly,

"His brother also went to prepare for the swamp raid, who would be happy."

Hearing this, the expressions of the surrounding people darkened. This time, the people who followed Hannibal,

All were sent for raids.

, They have done such a thing once, and know how difficult it is, especially this time the enemy is a Chinese person who has never met.

They have long known the strength of the other party. With less than 10,000 people, they almost collapsed the two Roman legions.

These people, even if they can successfully raid the rear of the other party, the final result will not be much better.

Hearing this, the captain of the guard's smile also stiffened on his face,

But he did not rebuke,

He knows that everyone feels extremely aggrieved, so why is he not?

His brother was in there too,

This time only a few remained.

It's just that he didn't continue this topic, lest everyone's mood get worse and worse, so he said,

"The general is waiting for you inside, you hurry in."

Hearing this, he did not act immediately, but asked the chief guard,

"Captain of the Guard, why do you want our people to die this time??"

Others couldn't help but look over. In fact, everyone already had such doubts in their hearts.

It's just that because of Hannibal's majesty, no one brought it up.

The captain of the guard was silent for a while, and then quickly said,

"This time is to deal with the threat of China. If it fails, our entire known world will be enslaved."

"So Rome will also let go of hatred and let the general be the commander-in-chief."

"It's a war between civilizations."

This is what the general told him before. As for why he didn't explain it to everyone,

Because even he is actually not very able to understand what is a war between civilizations.

Sure enough, after hearing his explanation, the doubts on everyone's face did not dissipate. Instead, someone said,

"Even if we lose, it is also Rome's failure. What does it have to do with us?"

"Rome is our enemy!"

"That's right! Why should we sacrifice for the enemy!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions were getting more and more excited, the captain of the guard said with a stern face at this time,

"What are you arguing about, the general has his reasons for doing this!"

"You can't believe in Rome, and you can't believe in generals!"

Suddenly everyone stopped talking, and at this moment, Hannibal's voice came from inside the tent,

"Come in when you come back!"

Soon, the confidant walked in with a complicated look,

Hannibal looked at his confidant and did not mention the quarrel that had just happened outside, but asked,

"Did you hear what the two commanders said?"

The confidant's eyes changed for a while, and then he said,

"General, I heard them say that they saw your daughter in the Huaxia camp!"

Hearing this, Hannibal was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward eagerly and asked,

"What did you say?"

At this time, the confidant seemed to have made up his mind and said,

"They found your daughter in the Huaxia camp, but they don't want to tell you."

"It's said that it will affect your attack, and they also say that the life and death of a woman can be compared to the glory of Rome."

Hannibal's eyes gradually turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"How dare they treat me like this!"

He never imagined that he would risk everyone's life in exchange for such a result.

At this moment, the confidant said again,

"General, I heard the location they said, I can go to your daughter!"

Hannibal regained some consciousness, nodded quickly, and said very sincerely,

"Then it's up to you. Get ready to set off at night. I will write you a letter and you will bring it there."

If the other party's rescue is unsuccessful, this letter is a bargaining chip.

Soon night fell, and Hannibal had already prepared and handed the letter to his confidant.

The confidant did not hesitate and was about to leave, but when he reached the door,

suddenly said,

"General, I will bring your daughter back, can you bring my brother back?"

Then, without waiting for the other party to answer, he left here directly.

Hannibal froze in place, waiting for him to come back to his senses,

The other party has disappeared.

Inside the Huaxia camp,

Zhao Haozheng sighed with some boredom,

"It's really hard to use a trick!"
