First - after capturing all the towns of the small country at lightning speed, he would have his soldiers wear the uniforms of that small country, take the enemy's defeated troops with them, or even get in front of them first, and attack the Romans, making the Romans mistakenly believe that a small country was planning to enter the territory in disguise and wreak havoc, thereby lowering their vigilance.
After all, when faced with an invasion by the Great Khan, they would fight with all their might, but when faced with a possible invasion by a small country, they would just be lazy.
At that time, they will still disperse their troops to other places, and in order to prevent the troops from small countries from coming and not being enough to resist the attack of the Khutot Khanate, it can make the Romans feel "at ease".
The "peace of mind" gained after being deceived is the most dangerous. The Khan knows this, so he must have his warriors disguise themselves conscientiously, and it would be best if he could completely make the Romans believe that "that small country actually wants to let us let their warriors in by spreading rumors."
Second - while spreading rumors one after another, the Great Khan must also be prepared to accept the people of that small country.
After all, he couldn't reduce everyone to slaves. The families of those warriors had to be entertained and persuaded well, and capable people had to be treated with the utmost courtesy and leniency, not to mention a series of technical talents such as mages and blacksmiths.
Only by continuously expanding the country's reserve of technical talent can the Great Khan gain more advantages in future wars against Roman.
The Great Khan is only a human being after all, and it is impossible for him to take care of everything. Therefore, he must ensure that there are enough technical forces in the country and allow these forces to develop freely.
Third, and most importantly, the Great Khan must sign a non-aggression treaty with the elven kingdom in the forest and strive to obtain permission to advance into the forest.
After all, the elves are a powerful nation, and the Great Khan's army is not very good at fighting in the forest...
They must avoid war with the elves, but also gain access to the forest in order to catch the Romans off guard.
The above three points are the plans for the future that the Great Khan thought of before he got drunk.
He was sure that as long as he completed these three plans, Roman would be his.
"Then, boys! Let's get drunk tonight and celebrate our victory in a few days!"
He was the first to drink the hot milk wine. As the wine took over, the Great Khan laughed loudly, and he could already feel his ambition turning into a raging fire, burning fiercely in his body.
…
On the other side, in Bayer Johannes in the evening.
After returning from Caparia, Yang Hao was walking with Theresa, who was dressed in casual clothes, in Constantinople, which had begun to be decorated with lights and looked brand new. While inspecting the current situation of their people, they were also preparing for the upcoming celebration.
"On February 5th, our country will have a new beginning." Yang Hao said this while holding Theresa's hand. He has grown a lot of white hair on his head recently, and even wrinkles appeared when he was young.
"Then on the 6th... we can hold the wedding. Then, I won't be so busy anymore."
"That's why I told you long ago that you don't have to be so busy. I can handle things on my own now... Hey, come here and sit down."
Theresa, dressed as a nun again, took Yang Hao to sit on a bench in the square in Constantinople. She patted her thigh, and a soft silver-white light appeared on her hand.
She said there was no pillow here, so he could just rest his head on her thighs. She said she had to cast some magic on Yang Hao, otherwise, seeing how exhausted he was, even if Theresa was very clear about the distinction between public and private, she would eventually give up her political affairs and choose to take care of him who might fall ill at any time.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health..." Theresa complained and pressed Yang Hao on her thigh.
Under the astonished gazes of the residents passing by, she released the magic that only Basilisa could release in public, while gently stroking the wrinkles on the face of her future husband.
"So you have to give me a day off after the celebration, understand? Then bring Naruga and the others over to rest... and I also need to rest for a while. Now that the citizens can live better on their own, it's okay for us to be lazy for a few days."
"But..."
"Don't say buts to me! Your work intensity can make "Light" feel ashamed. I really want to wake up "Light", the pig who has been sleeping soundly until now, to see how hard-working you are and make that pig reflect on how depraved he is."
"Hey, is it really okay for you to insult your own God in front of your own people?"
"If I had the magic to make the Light come, I would definitely beat Him up."
“Can God come down on his own?”
Yang Hao was curious, and the angry nun shrugged and gave a positive answer while relieving Yang Hao's fatigue:
"Of course. But the incarnation of God changes according to belief... If people think it is a man, then the incarnation will show a male posture accordingly."
"I see... I don't really understand this, but we are all taking a break, so let's not talk about such serious things."
"Hehe, you finally got it. Just lie down and close your eyes to rest. I'll have to clean your ears for you later. Look how dirty they are..."
The two of them enjoyed the hard-earned peace.
I am looking forward to the celebration on the 5th.
Chapter 5: Celebrations, Polygamy, and the Northern Invasion 8K
February 5, 006 of the Imperial Calendar.
The entire Roman Empire was plunged into civil strife. Some people were fighting, some were hiding, and many people even betrayed each other, creating a lively drama.
It can be said that the people of Arese were accustomed to the bottom line of Roman during this period - first there was Prince Gasson who was immersed in a comfortable life without any ambition and courage, then there was a strange servant who kept tempting people, and then there was the civil war between the towns where the killings were even more miserable than the civil war between the cuckolded husband and the yellow-haired man, or those great nobles who let their peasant soldiers eat people while they themselves ate fish and meat, and the rebels who burned, killed, looted and had no justice at all.
The people of Alese thought that if their country encountered such bad news, it would be destroyed immediately.
But more Alesse people believed that their king and nobles would never allow things to develop to this point.
They really couldn't understand what the Romans were thinking, but they knew that the more chaotic the Romans were, the better!
At Prince Gasson's request, the reinforcements sent by the Arese people increased day by day.
There are now more than 8,000 Arese troops active in the Roman Empire. Newly launched ironclad ships are patrolling the waters between Arese and Rome. Arese's supplies are also being secretly transported within the Roman Empire. With the tacit approval of Prince Gasson, Arese's infantry has even begun digging trenches along the coastal areas in preparation for subsequent wars.
General Dreshuka didn't quite understand the purpose of those intricate trenches that did not block the main roads, but he could see the hostility of the Alesse people.
He hoped that Prince Gasson could reduce the number of Arese people settling in, but Prince Gasson had completely fallen.
In his own palace he enjoyed the sense of security brought by the Aresians, the excitement and pleasure brought by his servants, and the flattery of the head maid and other greasy-haired and big-eared nobles.
He no longer considered sitting on the throne, because he knew very well that as long as he did not sit on it, he would be safe.
In order to make himself feel safer, Prince Gasson secretly signed a secret agreement with the envoy of Alesse.
In the secret agreement, more than 60% of the Roman Empire's resources were promised to be handed over to Arese for 50 years. As long as the people of Arese can help the Roman Empire deal with the rebellion, the people of Arese can get everything they want!
The Emperor of Arese was overjoyed, and while he cheered, "Roman is in my pocket," he personally guaranteed Prince Gasson's future safety and independence.
But by now, the Arese people's butcher knives have been sharpened to a shine.
With just one thousand more men, the Aresians could recover the "lost land" of the Roman Empire while continuing their own secret operations...
But coming back to the point.
Now, the diocese of the Roman Empire seems unusually peaceful.
Saint Cecilia received help from her friend Priscilla, but even so, their combined administrative abilities were barely "qualified" enough to fully manage the land in the western part of the diocese.
They were so overwhelmed that they had no time to organize militia training to prepare for the next "test" - and the situation on the part of Patriarch Peter was no less terrible.
Although if we use a 100-point system, Cecilia and Priscilla together can get a maximum of 20 points, then Patriarch Peter would have a score of 80.
But the hedonistic bishop under him lowered his administrative rating by 25 fen.
Although he still has some advantages now, the total amount of food and supplies is always inexplicably reduced by 80% every time he assembles troops, which still makes Patriarch Peter very anxious.
In today's situation where the number of believers is important, Pope Peter does not dare to follow Bishop Stephen's example and fill the believers' stomachs with human flesh - in desperation, he can only prepare for spring plowing.
After all, it seems that this war cannot be fought anytime soon, so it is better to plant some crops and make sure we can survive until the winter to fight.
In this way, the parish fell into a strange peace, which in turn attracted many disaster victims who could not make a living in other places to join in.
Although the strange angels in the Holy City were still hovering in the sky, at least they had not shown any interest in places outside the Holy City for the time being. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Only vaguely, the believers kneeling in front of the holy city could always smell a foul odor coming from the sky from time to time.
What is going on? The believers feel extremely confused, but their confusion is destined not to be heard by the "God of Light" they believe in.
…
Today is February 5th, an important celebration for the official establishment of Bayerjans and Japaria as a country. It is also a good day for the Bayerjans to truly realize that they have returned to the ground and have a perfect new life.
Since yesterday, the whole city has been preparing for the celebration. They put up lights and decorations in Constantinople and put up makeshift colorful flags.
The streets were filled with the aroma of crude snacks and delicacies, and the elves generously sent over their own delicacies and chefs.
Taking into account the special nature of the brother countries and the special nature of the common regent of both sides, although the celebration is taking place in both countries, the host venue is still only Constantinople.
All the important people came, including Finn. Except for Arthur who couldn't get away from his girlfriend, even Dr. Joseph, who was beaten up by the elves for logistical problems, came here refreshed.
It is said that he came up with more things that drove the elves in charge of logistics crazy. He even tried to use enchantment to design a new shell, and then the elf in charge of enchantment saw that it took 20 hours of man-hours to produce a shell, so Dr. Joseph naturally had to beat him up.
Why did Dr. Joseph become like this? Actually, no one knows clearly...
But seeing that Dr. Joseph had almost given up his job and chosen something that he enjoyed, it was hard for anyone to say anything.
All in all, for this celebration, all the people gathered in the Purple Palace which was being rebuilt.
It was on this occasion that Yang Hao introduced Anna and Natalia to Theresa for the first time.
"Hello - little Anna, and Miss Natalia." Theresa, who was dressed neatly but still looked like a nun, smiled and greeted the two girls who were extremely important to Yang Hao and whom she met for the first time.
"Ms. Natalia, thank you for taking care of Yang Hao at that time - otherwise he really would not have survived, and we would not have been able to meet in this occasion."
"It's my job." The president of the court, who seemed listless for some reason, curled his lips and gently stroked the hair of little Anna, who was looking curiously at the interior of the palace.
"So... Miss Theresa? Or should I call you Madam? What is your current status?"
"Basilisa of Bayerjans, you can understand it as the Queen." Theresa nodded with a smile, then took Yang Hao's arm in front of them.
"And he will be my Caesar and Basilius—or simply put, my husband."
"Congratulations."
Although she had prepared herself mentally, Natalia still felt very complicated when she really encountered such a thing.
On the one hand, although Natalia's feelings for Yang Hao were born in a strange way, they have become very stable after two years of thinking about her day and night. In addition, Yang Hao's divine soldiers and personal rescue... In a sense, Natalia's feelings for Yang Hao will only become deeper, not shallower.
As a result, now, even though she had finally mustered up the courage to confess her love, she learned from him that they were about to get married... This was a huge blow to Natalia.
On the other hand, Natalia's care for Anna also made her want to become Anna's real mother.
After all, during this period of time, Natalia can be said to have taken good care of Anna until now. To this extent, even if the other party is a mouse, Natalia will have deep feelings for her...not to mention the poor child.
In this case, Natalia naturally felt Anna's expectations...
But, your new father has already found a new mother for you. It would definitely be bad if I continue to interfere, right
…
If Natalia is given a chance, she will pursue the man she likes endlessly in her own way - but the problem is...
Natalia, but she is the president of the court.
Although this title has to be added with the word "former"... But as the presiding judge, Natalia can be said to be the person who abides by the law the most.
According to the laws of the Roman Empire, the Roman Empire had an iron monogamous system. Even the previous emperor only married one queen and had Anna with her, and that was all.
Although she is not sure about the laws of the elves and Bayerjans, from what Natalia knows, this is definitely a country with a "monogamy system".
In other words, Yang Hao and Teresa's marriage is legal, but after they get married, Natalia's pursuit will be against the law and morality...
This made Natalia even more miserable.
On the one hand, there is the savior whom she wants to pursue no matter what, and the happiness she wants to pursue.
On the other hand, it is the "law" she swore to abide by.
Natalia was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. And just when she was stunned, it seemed that Her Majesty Theresa wanted to touch Anna's little head
As a result, amid Yang Hao's awkward laughter, little Anna simply retracted her head and ran behind Natalia, grabbing Natalia's clothes and timidly looking at the white-haired nun who stretched out her claws.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Little Anna can basically only be close to you and me now... Maybe we need to give her more time to adapt." Natalia reluctantly took Anna's little hand to comfort her.
"So... can you give her some time to adjust? I'll take her around. Of course, it would be even better if you could come along."
"I have to go on stage with Theresa to give a speech later... I can only ask you, Natalia."
Yang Hao shook his head helplessly, walked up to Anna, squatted in front of her and gently pinched her little face. Then, the man who had finally relaxed smiled and took out a small piece of candy. After unwrapping it himself, he put the small candy in front of Anna's mouth.
Anna happily opened her mouth and took the candy in. Her tongue had grown back completely, but she needed a long time to adapt and experience all kinds of tastes again. At the same time, she slowly started to speak again with the help of Natalia.
Now Anna can only utter a few simple words, but it is enough to comfort Yang Hao.
He touched Anna's head, then left with the nun, who seemed frustrated by being rejected by the child.
And it was after they left that Anna bit the candy, hugged Natalia's dress and whispered:
"Mama Natalia... I don't like that mother." Little Anna pouted. "I want Mama Natalia to be my mother..."
"But that's Dad's favorite person. If it weren't for her, His Majesty wouldn't be able to save us."
"I know... but I still don't want to be separated from Mom Natalia..."
Natalia was naturally happy to receive Anna's recognition and plea.
But this also made Natalia realize that Anna no longer wanted to be a "queen" or a "princess". At least she didn't have this idea now.
After all, she has suffered too much because of this identity... So after thinking about it, I decided to try to educate her like an ordinary girl during this period of time.
