Chapter 968 Ross Army Retreat
In 195 AD, we came to the end without realizing it. The first spring festival ceremony after the Qin Dynasty unified the world was held as scheduled. That morning, when the bright sun in winter rose from the east, the spring festival officially began. As the Emperor of Qin, Chen Chu was riding in a dragon chariot in the middle of the team, which was particularly eye-catching; followed by the chariots of the empress and the imperial concubines, followed by cabinet ministers and important officials of various departments; envoys from various countries followed closely behind the ministers, many of them were shocked by the grand occasion in front of them; the imperial guards and iron wall guards who were responsible for the warning were majestic and warriors along the way. The entire Luoyang City was empty, and hundreds of thousands of people were crowded on both sides of the streets and cheering excitedly, many of them came to Luoyang from other places to see the spring festival.
The winding team continued to reach the "Tao of Heaven" that was only completed in the north of Luoyang City. Here, Chen Chu conducted a long ceremony to worship the sky according to tradition. During the whole process, the audience was silent, and hundreds of thousands of subjects seemed to be bound by a solemn atmosphere. Envoys from various countries could not help but feel this atmosphere and all kinds of thoughts arose in their hearts.
The Spring Festival ceremony lasted until after noon. Although several hours had passed, the people and the ministers were still not tired at all. Maybe they were all in extreme excitement now.
The ceremony of the Spring Festival finally came to an end with Chen Chu's sacrifice to the gods for all the Qin soldiers who died in battle.
After the Spring Festival Ceremony, all the people of the Central Plains clearly saw a new dynasty in the Han Dynasty. Even many people who were unwilling to recognize the Qin Dynasty also felt that the Han Dynasty had become a thing of the past, and the world now is the Qin Dynasty.
Shortly after the Spring Festival ceremony, envoys from various countries left Luoyang one after another, and of course there were also Ross' envoys. In order to further negotiate relevant agreements with Ross, Chen Chu also sent an envoys. The envoys would return to the capital of Ross, which was located in the depths of the northern ice field with Ross' envoys.
There were a few uninvited guests in Ross's messengers. They were wearing Ross' clothes and stayed in the carriage. "Young Master, we~~" an elderly man wanted to speak but stopped. The young man in front of him frowned and said, "Gongda, don't think about it anymore! With the help of Ross's power, our only hope!" It turned out that Cao Pi and Xun You were actually in Ross' messengers. Xun You sighed and said with some emotion: "I am just worried that I will not be able to return to my hometown in my lifetime!" The two were silent for a moment, and Cao Pi said with great firmness: "I believe we will definitely come soon afterwards."
Will be back!" His eyes turned to the car, and he looked at the familiar scenery gradually fading away and said ruthlessly: "Since Chen Chu did not kill me, I must destroy his Great Qin Dynasty with my own hands!" Cao Pi's cold and resentful tone made Xun You shudder. Xun You thought, "Young Master, although I also agree with you to do this, I hope you don't have too much hope for this matter! After all, the whole world has returned, and the people of Ross can't compete with the Qin army!" Cao Pi frowned and nodded, and said cautiously: "I know what I know, Gongda doesn't have to worry."
Time came unconsciously in the summer of 196 AD. A year has passed since the war in the Central Plains. However, there are still forces against the Qin Dynasty in the southern Jiaozhou, and its components are mainly local barbarians. However, this situation should not last long, because the hostess of the Zhurong clan, who has a lofty prestige among the barbarians.
At about this time, on the northeastern border of the Roman Empire, thousands of miles away to the west, the Ross army unexpectedly announced the conclusion of the alliance of the Senate and no longer participated in the civil war of the Roman Empire. Then the Ross army withdrew from the province of Lissia in the Roman Empire, and then announced that the Gentorat of the province of Lissia was dedicated to the Senate. Gentorat was a small country established by a tribe of the Germans. It was one of the vassal states of the Roman Empire and was recently captured by the Ross army. Here we need to briefly talk about the current situation of the Germans. The current Germans actually include
The ancestors of later Germans and French people; they lived in the vast land of the present Germany to Eastern Europe; there was no clear form of state, except for the small Germanic countries close to the Roman Empire that surrendered to Rome; these Germanic tribes were typical barbarians at this time. Although they were brave and good at fighting, they were a mess and had almost no higher civilization. The 200,000 troops of the Ross people launched a raid on Gentorat through the areas where the Germans lived. In order to achieve this, the Ross people promised generous rewards to several most powerful Germanic tribes.
The Ross carried a large amount of trophy to evacuate Gentorat. Then the Ross army met with representatives of the Germanic tribes in the hinterland of the Germanic tribes, and the Ross army handed over most of the trophy to them, which made these barbarians who had never seen any world very happy. Before leaving the Germanic settlement, the Ross people secretly reached an alliance agreement with two of the largest Germanic tribes.
Ross' army continued to return east, and their destination was the city of Kiev in later generations. However, Kiev was not called Kiev at this time, but was named Peter the Great Castle. In fact, Peter the Great Castle was just a castle that had been completed less than five years ago. Five years ago, it was just a wasteland. After ten years of struggle, the current Ross Emperor Peter Kai finally unified most of the barbarians in the northern ice field, he announced the establishment of the Ross Empire. He then decided to build a new imperial capital at the current Peter the Great Castle. Three years later, the imperial capital was completed, and Peter Kai named it Peter the Great Castle.

Linde Hall of Luoyang Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the west!" Jia Xu held a letter in his hands to report. At this time, Zhou Yu, Xu Shu and Lu Su were also in Linde Hall.
"read."
Jia Xu immediately spread the letter and said, "This is the information sent by our spies from Guishuang King Capital. At present, Guishuang's main force is still quelling the rebellion among the thirteen provinces in the west! The prices in the royal capital are 50% higher than this time last year!"
"It's over," Chen Chu asked in surprise.
Jia Xu nodded, clasped his fists and said, "There are only so many!"
Chen Chu touched his chin and thought, "What does this mean? It means that Gui Shuang's progress in quelling the chaos is very bad, and it has also dragged down the people's livelihood in the country!"
"Your Majesty said so much!" Jia Xu agreed.
"By the way, we were damaged in Guishuang's intelligence department some time ago. What's the situation now?" Chen Chu asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Intelligence Agency's base in Guishuang has been rebuilt. Due to some previous reasons and the need to collect intelligence, the intelligence department in Guishuang is still in close contact with Fengqi Jewelry Pavilion!"
"It's great to do this! But tell the head of the intelligence department that Fengqi Jewelry Pavilion cannot be exposed no matter what!" Chen Chu reminded.
The people present were stunned and then understood Chen Chu's intentions. "Yes! Xu understands!" Jia Xu clasped his fists and said.
Chen Chu thought for a moment and said to the four people very seriously: "Although the world is calm at present, I have a premonition that this peace will never last long! Our army must be prepared to go to war at any time and must not slacken!" After a pause, he said to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, later you will order the generals guarding everywhere to return to Luoyang to report their duties! I have to explain some things in person!" "Yes." Xu Shu clasped his fists and agreed.
"Zijing, what is the current situation of military rations?" Chen Chu asked.
Lu Su replied with a happy look: "At present, the granaries around Luoyang have stockpiled more than two million dans of grain, and the total reserve warehouses have nearly ten million dans of grain!"
