The fall of Constantinople marked the rapid demise of the Roman Empire.

When news of the fall of Constantinople reached the city of Rome, the Roman dignitaries finally panicked.

Medses convened the Senate to discuss countermeasures.

After a brief discussion, the senators decided to send envoys to Constantinople again.

This time the Romans no longer had the pride they had not long ago, and they only hoped to appease the Chinese people as soon as possible.

The Senate even issued an order to the Roman envoy to please the Chinese at any cost.

In the eyes of the Romans, as long as the Chinese people's emotions are appeased and as long as the Chinese people are willing to stand on the side of the city of Rome, the crisis Rome is facing can be easily solved.

But it's a pity.

As soon as the envoys sent by the city of Rome arrived in the Balkans, they were discovered by the Parthian cavalry that rushed quickly. In the end, the Roman envoy died in the hands of the Parthian cavalry.

News of the envoy's murder spread back to the city of Rome. While the Senate continued to send envoys, it decided to mobilize all the slaves and most of the wealth of the nobles to build a strong fortress group in Dalmatia.

Use the fortress group to block the enemy troops advancing westward.

At the same time, Medses also ordered the deployment of troops and horses from all over the country to garrison the province of Dalmatia, assuming a decisive battle with the enemy forces advancing westward.

As for the various slave uprisings in Rome, the Romans now pacify them if they can. If they really can't pacify them, they just let them go.

In short, the Romans now concentrated all the forces they could concentrate on Dalmatia.

The city of Constantinople.

Through the efforts of craftsmen.

Not only were the breaches that had been destroyed closed, but the walls of Constantinople became stronger than before.

Standing on the walls of Constantinople, looking west.

Wei Chu said to Lu Bu behind him without looking back: "Constantinople is a very important fortress. If we occupy this place, it will be equivalent to cutting off the middle of Rome."

"At the same time, Constantinople is also a gate. Now we have closed the gate. The Parthians, Kushans and Eastern Romans who entered Western Rome can only fight to the death and continue to consume them according to our previous assumptions. The power of Western Rome.”

"After the Parthians, Kushans and Eastern Romans who entered the Western Roman territory are all dead, we can send troops directly to the city of Rome and end this battle."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Lu Bu nodded gently.

Lu Bu knew Wei Chu's strategy very well.

Wei Chu not only wanted to destroy the Western Roman Empire, but also wanted to use the Western Roman Empire to further consume the strength of Parthia and other countries.

Wei Chu wants to prevent Rome, Parthia and other countries from recovering for at least a hundred years after this battle.

Wei Chu wants China to be at least a hundred years ahead of other countries and always stand above them.

I have to say that this is something that will last forever.

The impact of this incident even surpassed the unification of the six countries by the Qin Dynasty.

Want to effectively control the countries of Rome, Parthia, and Kushan.

It is definitely not possible to garrison troops in every city.

Therefore, the Chinese army's strategy is to occupy rich cities and control the most strategically important cities.

Naturally, the Chinese army would not let go of a fortress like Constantinople.

"By the way, it's been more than a month. Is there any news from the west?"

After hearing what Wei Chu said, Zhang Liao quickly took a step forward and said: "According to the news we received, the Parthian cavalry has been advancing with great success and has now passed through the Thracian province of the Roman Empire."

"The Kushans and Eastern Romans are now in the province of Mercia. The Western Romans have gathered their strength and are preparing to go all out to build defenses in the province of Dalmatia. According to our estimation, the Parthians will first defend themselves in the province of Dalmatia. The province of Matthia engages in decisive battle with the Romans.”

"The Romans took the initiative in defense. The Parthians entered the Dalmatian province in their current state and suffered huge casualties."

Wei Chu nodded gently.

The Parthians fought several victorious battles with the Chinese army, and now they are starting to feel proud again.

And because the Western Roman army was easily defeated by the Chinese army every time.

So the Parthians felt that they were doing well again.

Nowadays, most Parthians do not take the Western Romans seriously.

This kind of pride and underestimation of the enemy will definitely bring huge casualties to the Parthians.

“Where are the Phoenicians and Egyptians now?”

"They are taking the water route, and the fleet is almost reaching Sparta."

The Phoenicians and Egyptians wanted to land near Rome by water.

This idea is good.

But the Egyptians and Phoenicians missed one point.

In Sicily, the Romans also had a powerful fleet.

This fleet, even if it could not completely destroy the Phoenician fleet, could at least severely damage it.

Once the fleet was severely damaged, even if the remaining Egyptians and Phoenicians arrived at the city of Rome, they would basically not pose any threat to the city of Rome.

Unfortunately, the Phoenicians and Egyptians were too jealous of the wealth in the Roman city. At the same time, the Phoenicians also wanted to destroy the Roman city with their own hands, take revenge, and increase the Phoenicians' national self-confidence.

Wei Chu slowly looked back.

Finally, he said to Lu Bu: "Our army will not go to Western Rome for the time being, but it cannot be idle. Send people to Syria, find an excuse to start a war with Syria, and take back all the wealth, craftsmen, and books of the Syrians."

"At the same time, take control of an army of Syrians and let them find an opportunity to invade Egypt."

"Syria and Egypt are bordering each other. They cannot be allowed to stick together. It is best for them to become enemies of each other."
