The Defeat of Philip V
Chapter 628:The Defeat of Philip V
In the time of Philip V's decision to attack some of the forces in the Mediterranean, and in preparing, the Roman consul was trying to do the work of the Senate, admitting that the previous defeat was because he did not deeply understand how strong the Dqin had been, and that the two generals he sent had nothing to do with him, so he was completely opposed to the death of the two generals who attacked the big Qin.
Even the Roman consul had said that if the Senate had decided to lay off the two generals, his consul would have done so.
Because the people in the Senate are still very recognized for his ability, so this threat is still very effective, he and the Senate for a long time, although the people of the Senate did not relax, but this matter is so delayed here, for the punishment of the two generals is not delayed.
The consuls knew how hard it was to let the old and stubbornness in the seward house, but now that they were no longer so insistent on putting their two generals to death, they had a chance.
Although it was ostensibly a Roman consul who wanted to preserve his two cronies, it was in fact a war without smoke from the Roman Senate for more power.
The Senate has been firmly in the control of some core power, the consul can be said to be just their spokesman, but this time, the consul is tired of being anyone's spokesman, he only wants to have his own final say, only wants to have his own great freedom, whether in the military or in the internal affairs, when the people he sent out have succeeded or failed, it is obviously up to himself to decide whether it is a reward or punishment, rather than the Senate in the death of these life and killing power.
And the serenade naturally did not want to be so easy to follow, they thought for a while, until the consul's temper and idea had passed, and then negotiate with him.
But this, there is not very good news for the Senate or for the whole of Rome.
Egypt is half an ally of the Romans, the reason why it is half, because Rome did not cover them like their own brothers, their area has always been stable, and there is still a little distance from the Romans, so the Romans have not been much care.
But this time the Egyptians came with tears in their snot, and the reason for their coming was very simple, and Philip V suddenly began to attack them, and they could not stand the Macedonian cavalry, so that in times of great danger they could only pinned their hopes on the Romans, which were basically like the fire in Macedonia.
To go to the Mediterranean region, not only can Egypt be rescued from the iron hooves of Macedonia, but also obviously so that the Mediterranean region will not fall into the hands of the Romans.
After receiving the news, the Senate of the Romans was very much in mind, and they immediately found the consul in front of them, and offered to bring him or send a soldier to Philip V.
After all, this time Philip V was personally out, so according to the meaning of the Senate, it must also be wanted to let the consul go out in person, after all, the Romans had just lost the battle under Philip V, and if this time it could be recovered, it would be quite timely.
But at this time the consuls were able to make their own demands, and nothing more was to go with the two generals who had sent themselves before, on the grounds that they were familiar with the battle routines of the Macedonian cavalry.
Such a reason is really the Roman Senate can not refute, after all these old fellows can not take soldiers to war, and now they are on the table of such things, they are really a little way out of the way, who let the consul's time to hurry?
In the end, the Senate agreed to all his demands, that he should take his own soldiers to teach Philip V a lesson.
At this time, Philip V was crying wolf down the Egyptian people in the territory of Egypt, and the Egyptians really needed the help of the Romans.
This time, the Roman consul really came with his two cronies, and with a lot of large armies, such a scene was thought of by Philip V, because he had just won a small victory in the battle with the Romans, so for this battle, he was afraid of the idea that there was no idea that he was afraid of it, in his view, this was only a replica of the previous battle, he had thought that the Romans would insert a cylinder in this battle, and knew that if they could solve them independently this time, they would have no chance.
But what Philip V did not expect was that the fallen consul at this time had no other choice, and that the reason why he had been able to get the old men in the Senate to agree to his request was that the old fellows believed that he could defeat Philip V, and that if he had not been able to defeat Philip V, it would have been a matter of time when Rome had come to this step.
This was a broken battle, and the idea of no way out would basically improve his combat effectiveness, but Philip V knew nothing about such a thing, and he thought that these people had only come because they had received the Egyptian's call for help.
In contrast to these two completely different states of mind, Philip V had been defeated two or three times, which annoyed him so much that Philip V had thought that he had already taken a complete advantage over the Romans, but now it seemed that this was entirely a little more in his own mind.
Although the successive failures did not completely lose confidence in Philip V, but it made a lot of changes in his mentality, and at this time, he thought of DQin, who should have thought of DQin and himself.
But it occurred to me that DQin was a little too far away from where he was, and Philip V had already known through several events before he had passed, and the government of DQin was completely controlled in the hands of Emperor Qin, even if it was in the hands of the Mongolian hand of Selu, there were 100,000 horses in the mantle, unless there was life and death, otherwise he would not have any action without the high will.
So this wave of attack, Philip V did not continue after losing some horses, and he chose to retreat rather than play a real battle with the Roman consuls on the Mediterranean territory.
Of course, Philip V was not really trying to give up, he just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pull the Dqin into the water, after all, if he attacked himself, he did not know how much he could lose, and if he let the elite soldiers of DQin also participate in this battle, then the Romans would almost be defeated, and at that time, Philip V felt that he would give DQ a little bit of a bad land.
But whatever the thoughts in Philip V's heart, it was a fact that his army had been withdrawn, in other words, that the Roman consul and the two generals he wanted to preserve had completed their task in a satisfactory manner.
Egypt was saved, other forces in the Mediterranean were preserved, their relations with the Romans were more intimate, and these became bargaining chips for the Roman consuls and the serenators.
As soon as Philip V was called back, it did not take long before and after, and this achievement still made Rome very convinced.
Upon his return to Rome, the consul found the fellows of the Senate and asked them directly whether they could have the right to appoint generals, and decided to take the charge and the magistrate's reward.
Most of these rights were decided before the ruling power in the hands of the Senate, and he could not execute it at all without the consent of the Senate, and the decision of the Senate could be directly implemented.
Now, evidently he wanted to take such power into his own hands by his great victory, and compared with the Senate himself, he himself was not afraid of wearing shoes, and in this case the Senate was bound to count on him against Philip V and Dhic, but he was already very serious with the patriarch, and if he could not achieve his own purpose, he would be a commoner in Rome, and the consul, and let the patriarch, and let the patriarch.
Although there are too many people who want to be consuls in Rome, willing to be consuls under the command of the Senate, there is nothing really powerful among these individuals, and the patriuses are shrewd, and they know that at this stage it is not possible for Rome to change a consul.
So after several rounds of tug-meeting battles, the Senate finally retreated a little, reluctantly agreeing to the demands of the consul, and the management of Rome was temporarily stabilized.
But what they did not know was that, during the time of their own grinding, a letter from the hand of Philip V had reached the boundary of the great Qin, into the hand of the high.
Philip V was defeated by the Romans in Egypt.I think his cavalry is also a small fighting force, and the cavalry of Rome is almost the same, why was suddenly defeated by the Romans, and also asked us so far to cooperate?"
When Higtao received this letter, Han Xin was with Ben Gao, and after Bengao read this letter to Han Xin, Han Xin was very surprised that Philip V had defeated the hands of the Romans under such circumstances.
In Hanson's view, if the force of the force is not much different, Philip V's cavalry must have been able to at least tie the cavalry with the Roman cavalry, but this is not the case from the description of Philip V.
After listening to Han Xin's words, he was slightly silent for a while, he himself did not experience these wars, but Han Xin experienced it, and Han Xin was a general who had been a hundred battles, and he would never have wronged the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Philip V for any reason, even if Han Xin's judgment was wrong, it must have underestimated the strength of the Macedonian cavalry for the reasons of Philip V.
After the silence, the high face showed a smile, and then looked to Han Xin: "That is right, Macedonia and the Romans would have been enemies, if there had been no sudden rise of ours, they would have fought a war around Egypt, but now because Philip V knew of our rise, he would have worried that if he had lost in the war with the Romans, we would have finally taken advantage of the fishermen behind us, so they wanted to put our Qin into this war."
Han Xin carefully thought about what he had said, and combined with the ability of the Macedonian cavalry that he had seen when he was in Sedule, he could not help but nod her head slightly.
"It is true that the Macedonian cavalry, if it is really enough to fight the Romans once, it will certainly not fail in this succession, and I think that their series of failures will also be deliberate, but if we really join forces with Philip V, we can really blow the Romans this time, and we can take the opportunity to know the true strength of the Macedonian cavalry."
Although Han Xin agreed with the high words, but Han Xin's meaning is also very clear, that is, still inclined to send troops, to say that the truth is still close together, now Rome and Macedonia will certainly not unite, then the big Qin is better than to unite one of them, if you can destroy the other side, it is naturally a very good thing.
Bian Gao looked at Han Xin, obviously Han Xin knew that the ultimate purpose of Higong was to make Ding Qin achieve great unity between heaven and earth, but according to the plan before the high, it still had to wait for a period of time before the army.
“This time, if we were really invited to go out with Macedonia to attack Egypt and other places, then we would be the second Sedule, and the city above the border and the territory we occupy are not adjacent to each other, and even if Philip V can divide us into a great deal of territory, we will not be able to connect these territories with ours, which is not of any good to us.On the contrary, Philip V would be able to pocket large areas of the Mediterranean region without any effort.”
