After nightfall, the city of Rome gradually calmed down. The people stayed at home anxiously, afraid to fall asleep, for fear that they might not know when the Han army would break in again. For the losing party, war is a very cruel thing. From dignity to life, they have no guarantee. Especially in the middle of the night, it is a good time to kill, rob, and corrupt women.
However, the worrying thing did not happen. Although the Han army would still knock on their homes, they would not rush into them like they did during the day, nor would they forcefully arrest young and strong men, nor would they insult women. They appeared to be more polite, they just asked about the whereabouts of Caracalla and Getta, but did not move.
At this time, the Han army did not know that Caracalla had been crushed to death under the ruins of the southern city wall, so the search work went on all night. Until dawn, news came suddenly and Getta was caught.
When the city of Rome was broken, the tower was guarding the area of the north city. Suddenly there was a loud noise from the south of the city, and then the sky was full of dust, covering almost half of the city. Getta was taken aback, knowing that something big must have happened to the south, and while instructing his men to continue to resist, he hurried back to his residence.
The reason why Caracalla and Getta dared not to surrender was because the city of Rome was tall and strong, the food in the city was like a mountain, and there was capital to stick to. On the other hand, the two brothers believed that the Han army came from afar and it was hard to last . Unexpectedly, in only three days, the city of Rome fell.
Getta is very cunning. He packed up a pile of gold and silver long ago and hid it in an ordinary house near the mansion. This was not because he expected that the Han army would break through Rome, but to prevent the defeat of the battle with Caracalla. Caracalla would kill him, but it came in handy at this time.
However, as the noble Da Qin emperor, Geta is used to having fun on weekdays, but he can't lack women around him. He has an extremely beloved beauty who was taken captive from Parthia, named Turanya. Turanya is not only beautiful, but also obedient to Getta, and she has superb skills. Getta felt that he could not do without her, so he wanted to take her with him.
Geta understood the reason for people's many eyes and mixed eyes. After returning to the mansion, he ordered people to take out the property from the mansion and distribute them to the people in the mansion, letting them go their separate ways, but Turanya was the only one left.
Turanya looked at the empty mansion and couldn't help crying.
Getta repeatedly comforted: "Why don't it matter, as long as you escape this period, there will always be a comeback. Quickly follow me, don't fall into the hands of the Han."
Turanya was helpless, so she had to follow Getta, mixed in the noisy crowd, to the nearby residence. Because this house is very hidden, Getta himself only came twice, and it was covered with cobwebs everywhere, it looked very shabby, and it was incomparable with the magnificent mansion in the past.
Getta felt that he was completely safe when he came here, and he didn't care at all, and fell asleep. Because he was guarding the city for several days, his spirit was also highly nervous, and within a short while, he snored everywhere.
Turanya saw the dirty and dilapidated house, with all four walls, not even a decent bed, and no servants and maidservants, and she felt annoyed for a while. She was also born in a noble family, although she was a slave girl who was taken captive by Getta, she has never gone through hard times. Now hungry, hungry, and frightened, the boss is reluctant.
However, the house was too dilapidated. From the outside, it looked like it was uninhabited for a long time. The Han soldiers who were hunting down the street passed by the door several times, but did not look up, but let Gita sleep peacefully. Had a good night's sleep.
Before you know it, the sky is bright. Getta stretched, Fang felt hungry. Although he prepared a large amount of gold and silver in this house, he only did not prepare dry food. Getta lay on the door and looked for a while, only to find that it was very quiet outside, and no Han soldiers from the battalion passed by. He couldn't help but relax, pointed to Turanya and said, "Go, get some food!"
At this time, Getta dared not go out, thinking that Turanya was just a woman, and should not attract the attention of others.
Turanya stayed up all night, but didn't dare to violate Getta's order, so she walked out with red eyes, but she heard Getta yell: "Come back!"
I saw Getta grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and wiped a few of them on Turanya's face, making her completely unrecognizable. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go!"
Although Turanya loves beauty, she knows that Getta is worried that her beauty will be discovered by the Han soldiers in the city, and take her into captivity. She has no choice but to accept this fact, and she has no choice but to go out of the courtyard.
There were not a few pedestrians on the street, and no shops were open for business. It was just that there were occasional Han soldiers marching past, but no one paid attention to Tulanya. Turanya breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that she was in trouble. She didn't bring any money, and even if a shop opened, she couldn't buy food.
After a little hesitation, Turanya gritted her teeth and took off a gold bracelet from her wrist. This is her most beloved piece of jewelry, and she can't care about it at this time. Just when Turanya was about to knock on a shop on the street, she suddenly heard someone behind her shout in a blunt Daqin dialect: "You, who? What do you do!"
Turanya didn't dare to turn around, and said shiveringly, "I, I'll buy something to eat."
In fact, the shouting soldier only saw a pedestrian in front of him, and did not pay attention to Turanya, who was dressed in women's clothing. But Turanya had a guilty conscience and took the initiative to answer, but it attracted the attention of the soldiers on the street.
A few soldiers quickly gathered around, and the head of the school lieutenant took a closer look, only to see that Lanya was in good shape, but her face was dirty, and she couldn't help but smile: "Brothers, go get some water here. A girl washes it."
Turanya waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no need..."
The captain sank his face and sternly shouted: "Then tell me honestly, who is it!"
Turanya's legs weakened and she almost fell to the ground.
Turanya was even more flustered at the thought that this time, even if he concealed the past, but in the future, he could only follow Getta to live the penniless and poor life. She didn't have much integrity, otherwise she would not please Getta in every possible way. Now that Getta loses power, she can't help but use her brain, and suddenly said loudly: "I will explain, I will explain, Getta is hidden in the house over there! "
Turanya had already thought that even if she became a captive of the Han people, she would be rewarded to a certain general for her beauty, and she would still be able to live a life of fine clothes and food. She didn't know that Getta also prepared a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, as long as he escaped this catastrophe, it was more than enough to be a rich man. More importantly, these Han soldiers didn't want to arrest her. As long as she responded properly, she would let her walk. On the contrary, she messed up her position and got Getta accidentally captured.
Captured by Geta, the matter did not end, because Caracalla is still missing. No one knew that Caracalla had been crushed into meatloaf under the city wall, because everyone around Caracalla was also dead. No one can tell the whereabouts of Caracalla, which has also become an unsolved case in history. Later in Daqin, people pretended to be Karacalla or his descendants to launch rebellions on many occasions.
The Han army searched the city of Rome for a few days, but there was still no result. After the initial panic, the people of Rome found that the Han army was not as abhorrent as they had imagined, and their lives gradually became normal. As more and more people took to the streets, it became more difficult to search for Caracalla. Liu Xin finally ordered to abandon this task and began to prepare to receive the kings of various countries who successively declared independence.
After learning that the city of Rome was captured, except for a few provinces that refused to be independent and was annihilated by the Han army, other provinces successively announced their separation from the Qin Dynasty and became an independent country. According to Liu Xin's order, the kings of these newly independent countries must come to Rome and sign an agreement to join the Declaration of Alexandria.
Within a few days, kings of various countries arrived in Rome. Liu Xin set a banquet in the imperial palace of Rome to entertain these people who came from afar. Drumming in the hall, a large group of young and beautiful girls are dancing.
At this time, Ju Xie, the emcee of ceremonies, pointed at the dancing girl and introduced to the kings that this is a lady of a certain nobleman, that is the wife of a certain official, and there are also relatives of these kings. It's just that these kings watched these relatives' female relatives suffer humiliation, but they couldn't help. In fact, Liu Xin did this to demonstrate to these kings, telling them that if anyone does not listen to the greetings of the Han Dynasty, their families will one day end up as slaves.
The kings were trembling, and some of the hands of the wine glasses were shaking quietly, and the wine was spilled on the table.
At this moment, Zhang Fei strode in and said loudly, "Big Brother, these noble lords in Rome have been taken outside. Should they be guillotined or lighted on the sky lantern? Brother, please tell me!"
Before Liu Xin could speak, Xu Huang stood up and said, "Your Majesty Enlightenment, that year Putimius slaughtered foreign businessmen wantonly and forced them to act as gladiators, causing many people to die tragically. There will be an idea at the end. It’s better to send these people into the arena and let them do it with a real sword. Only one of them can survive. I wonder what your Majesty’s intention is?"
The other generals have already clapped their hands and cheered, and said in unison: "This is a good idea! Just send them into the arena. I heard that there are many beasts in the arena, so let these humans and beasts have a melee to see who is more Great!"
Gladiators are the favorite entertainment of Daqin people. The kings and the captured noble lords are no exception. They have visited the arena for many times to watch performances. But they are usually just as spectators. No nobleman is stupid enough to become a gladiator, not only because gladiators are always in danger, but also because gladiators are slaves, and no one is willing to surrender their status.
However, Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "My big man is a nation of benevolence and righteousness, and I have to do it this time. For these prisoners, I think that I should punish the first evil and not offend the rest!"
