    Constantinople, Royal Palace, Eastern Roman Emperor Philip Bix is ??convening ministers for a royal meeting.

    All the ministers sat down, and their servants presented them with fine wine and delicacies. Philip Bix picked up the wine glass, took a nice sip of wine, put down the wine glass, and then said: "According to accurate information, the food has been given to the ancient country from the east.  After being defeated by the Tang Dynasty, their capital Damascus has fallen. Now is a good opportunity to restore the glory of the Roman Empire! We are the great descendants of Rome, and we must restore the supreme glory of the Roman Empire!"

    When he made a fist with his right hand, he was extremely excited, and his face glowed with a unique brilliance.

    "Restore the supreme glory of the Roman Empire!" This is the dream goal of all Byzantines who consider themselves descendants of Rome. All the ministers were in high spirits and shouted loudly, as if they had rebuilt the pride of the Roman Empire.  of.

    "Your Majesty, we know nothing about the Tang Dynasty from the East, how should we deal with it?" Prime Minister Beilu asked with concern.

    "Do you care so much? This opportunity must not be missed, otherwise it will never come back. We should seize this opportunity to send troops to recover the land occupied by Dashi. Otherwise, once these lands fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, we will have no chance."  General Sasi loudly offered his advice.

    Since Justinian depleted the treasury of the Eastern Roman Empire, it was once unable to even pay the military, which caused widespread complaints. The armies of the Eastern Roman Empire had to withdraw from the lands conquered by Justinian and huddled in Constantine.  The fort is relatively safe.  Even so, the Eastern Roman Empire could still retain a large area of ??territory. The Great Eclipse rose up and captured the Eastern Roman Empire's lands of Syria, Egypt, and Asia Minor.

    This was a great shame and humiliation for the Eastern Roman Empire, but it did not have the strength to take it back.  Not only did he not have the strength to take it back, but he was suppressed and beaten by Dashi. At one time, Dashi's troops came to Constantinople and were on the verge of subjugation.  If Constantinople hadn't been strong enough and the Greek fire sharp enough, the Eastern Roman Empire would have been destroyed long ago.

    The Eastern Roman Empire hated Dashi very much and wished that Dashi would perish soon. Now, Dashi was really defeated by the Tang Dynasty. The capital fell and the caliph was captured. Dashi was on the verge of destruction.  It only takes a little time for the Tang army to clear out the remaining forces of Dashi in various places and control the entire territory of Dashi.

    A god-given opportunity suddenly appeared in front of the Eastern Roman Empire, which was to take this opportunity to recover the land captured by Dashi. This was the purpose of Philip Bix convening ministers to discuss.

    Sasse¡¯s proposal immediately received a chorus of echoes: ¡°Yes! Your Majesty, please issue an order, and we will send troops now! Without further ado!¡±

    ?? Philip Bix thought that if he really took this opportunity to take back the land occupied by Dashi, he would be a brilliant emperor who would regain his glory in the history of the Roman Empire and would be praised by future generations.  Of course, it would be perfect if we take this opportunity to gain some benefits besides regaining our inherent territory.

    Thinking of this, Philip Bix felt his heart pounding and his face felt a little hot. He laughed loudly and said: "For so many years, our Roman Empire has been suppressed by the big food. Today, it is our turn  It¡¯s time to feel proud. I decided to send troops to recover Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt!¡±

    "Recover Asia Minor! Recover Syria! Recover Egypt!" The officials shouted loudly and rejoiced.

    Prime Minister Beilu was uneasy: "Your Majesty, it is good to take this opportunity to take back our land. However, what should we do if the Tang Dynasty does not allow it?"

    "Then there's no need to ask? Of course it's a fight! The sword and shield created the glory of Rome, are our swords and shields rusty?" Sass asked loudly, and his words immediately received a response.

    Belu asked again: "General Sass, the Tang Dynasty can defeat Dashi. We don't need to think too much about how powerful they are, right? Even Dashi can't resist it, can we still resist it? If the Tang Dynasty uses this  As an excuse to attack us, the consequences will be disastrous."

    This is the truth, and it is tantamount to pouring cold water on the heads of the elated ministers, which made the dizzy ministers wake up and look at each other.  You're so right, they couldn't even deal with Dashi, so how could they deal with the Tang Dynasty, which defeated Dashi like a whirlwind?

    Seeing that the ministers were stumped, Beilu said: "We don't know much about the Tang Dynasty. We only know that they were the starting point of the Silk Road. The Tang Dynasty was rich in silk, which is our favorite thing. As for how many swords they had,  Sharp, we know nothing about how strong their shields are. We should be friends with such powerful people, not enemies!"

    There was one thing he didn¡¯t say, and that was, ¡°Being an enemy with such a powerful person is tantamount to seeking death!¡±

    Saas swallowed with some difficulty: "Then we can't just watch our land."The passing was naturally reassuring, and Chen Wanrong and the others couldn't help but nod.

    Ge Shuhan looked at Chen Wanrong, shook his head helplessly and said: "The north borders the Eastern Roman Empire. I originally wanted to go there in person, but it seems that it is an advantage for Brother Chen. A lot of the land in Dashi belongs to the Eastern Roman Empire.  , I guess there will be trouble when the Eastern Roman Empire gets the news, maybe they are trying to take back the previous land. Therefore, they need to bring more troops to the north to take back the land, one hundred thousand should be necessary."

    Chen Wanrong shook his head and said: "Brother Geshu, you don't need so much, fifty thousand is enough. The Eastern Roman Empire is not big, and there is little room for maneuver. We should take advantage of this opportunity to go north to reclaim the land and defeat the Eastern Roman Empire.  As soon as Constantinople fell, the Eastern Roman Empire would also be destroyed. It didn't have to be like the Great Eclipse. It would take several years to stabilize the situation.

    "Constantinople is the throat connecting the West. We should build it into a usable base. I would like to ask Master Han to go with me. At that time, we will attack the Western Roman Empire, board the ship from Egypt, and cross the Mediterranean Sea.  , starting from Constantinople by land and attacking from two directions, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

    Ge Shuhan immediately expressed his support: "The idea is good, and Lord Laohan is here."

    Han Xiu said happily: "What an honor it is for Han Xiu to participate in such a grand event!"

    Ge Shuhan frowned and asked: "Brother Chen, are you taking fifty thousand troops a little too small? Although the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire is not as big as it used to be, and there is little room for maneuver, it is still a thousand-year-old country, which should not be underestimated."

    The Eastern Roman Empire was also called the Byzantine Empire. After losing territory repeatedly, it was about the same size as Turkey today. It had no strategic depth and little room for maneuver.  It¡¯s just that the Eastern Roman Empire at that time was descended from the Romans, while today¡¯s Turkey is descended from the Turks.

    After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, a Turkic tribe called the Ottomans were unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and moved westward.  Later, this Turkic tribe established the famous Ottoman Empire.  After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, today's Turkey emerged. It is now recognized that the Turks are descendants of the Turks.

    Since the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, the ancestors of the Turks, Turkey has always been unfriendly to China. This is the reason.

    Chen Wanrong said confidently: "Brother Shu, don't worry, fifty thousand is enough!"

    Brother Shuhan thought for a while and said no more.  Chen Wanrong stood up and said: "Recovering the land cannot be delayed without further delay. Master Han, let's set off now."

    This matter is indeed important. Ge Shuhan and the others did not advise Chen Wanrong to take a rest and sent them off.  With 50,000 troops, Chen Wanrong left Damascus and headed north, with the goal: the Eastern Roman Empire!  (To be continued.
