Antiochus III was a man who liked to go straight, and since he decided to tell Yinggao about it, he told it directly.

But to Yinggao's great regret, even Antiochus III had only met the envoy of the so-called dynasty, and he did not know anything about other information about that dynasty, and he only made decisions based on his own judgment.

"Since you don't know their strength, how can you believe that they will be my Great Qin's enemies?" Yinggao knew that Antiochus III would not lie about this, so he did not question what he said, but continued to ask in a deep voice.

"That's just my guess, and if they don't come, I, Seleuc, can't do anything."

"It's all here, why don't you understand? You may already have some images of the other party in your heart, but you can't admit it, you must know that although we from the east are not merciless in fighting with the enemy, but we are very tolerant of the enemy's people, will your so-called ally be like this, I'm afraid you don't even have confidence in your heart, right? ”

After another period of terrible silence, Antiochus III finally changed his previous resolute expression, sighed silently, and then opened his mouth again.

"Those who can compete with your Great Qin, now there are two forces in the world that I know, one is the Macedonian Dynasty, and the other is the Roman State."

That's right!

Yinggao heard Antiochus III say these two names, his face was very excited, these two forces are indeed the two giants of this era, Yinggao doesn't know if he can have any decent gains in the battle with them with the current situation of Daqin, so it is Yinggao's current top priority to understand the situation of these two forces from Antiochus III's mouth.

In addition to Yinggao, the faces of Cao Shen and Xiao He, who were also present, did not change, they did not come from later generations, of course, they didn't know what kind of power composition the world was in this period, in their ears, the names Rome and Macedonia were similar to Seleucus, and there would not be much difference in their hearts.

Yinggao's thoughts, Antiochus III naturally didn't know, he always thought that Yinggao must not know anything about what Seleucus was going to the west, so he continued to say it after saying these two names.

"The current king of Macedonia is Philip V, he has an alliance with me, but this covenant is a covenant between us to conquer the dynasty in the west, and this time Great Qin came suddenly, I didn't have time to get in touch with him, so I had to rush to meet the enemy, when he knew about it, my Seleuc had been occupied by you, and Philip V had no interest in the eastern crusade, and now without me as an ally, he naturally didn't want to be an enemy of Great Qin, otherwise he would only end up with a situation of being attacked on his back, So in my opinion, most of the mysterious envoys from the previous time were from Rome, but they were afraid that there were Macedonian people under my command, so they did not identify themselves, and Rome has many allies, even if they don't go out in person this time, it is very easy to gather more than 100,000 troops, if they can take my Seleucian territory as their own, they will naturally have the upper hand in the battle with Macedonia. ”

This time, Antiochus III told everything he knew, and when he finished speaking, he sighed deeply, obviously feeling that his life should finally come to an end.

But after Ying Gao heard these words, his face fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, not to mention whether what this guy said is true or false, then the Roman Empire is still quite far away from Seleuc, and it is very likely to be even farther away than my Great Qin's distance from Seleus, we have Han Xin, Meng Tian and my Great Qin's 300,000 elite soldiers to guard, what are we afraid of?"

At this time, Meng Yi, who had not spoken, spoke, in fact, although Xiao He, Cao Shen and others were not military generals, but the thoughts in their hearts were the same as Meng Yi, the previous Peacock Dynasty looked strong or not, and the current Seleu was not strong, but to put it bluntly, it can't be compared with Great Qin, in this case, it naturally doesn't matter what Macedonia, what Rome, just do it.

Although Yinggao does not know much about world history, he also knows about the Macedonian War, and if he does not come, in the next few years, Rome and Macedonia will have a very grand war.

And there are many prerequisites for this war, for example, Rome has defeated Hannibal in North Africa in the Second Boucher War, for example, Philip V and Antiochus III sent troops together to divide the entire Mediterranean region, which caused many dynasties to send a request for help to Rome, which was not a matter of the situation in the Mediterranean, and Philip V did not hang the ancient Roman consuls, which led to the Second Macedonian War.

And because the First Macedonian War ended in a dead end, both sides felt that they could achieve a final victory before the Second Macedonian War.

Now, with the fall of the Seleucus Dynasty and the capture of Antiochus III, Macedonia has lost a powerful ally, and their plans will definitely be greatly affected, so whether the Second Macedonian War will happen or not, Yinggao's heart is gone.

But now, according to Antiochus III, Macedonia has little desire for the Eastward Crusade, and what they want is the vast territory of the Mediterranean region, and it is not Rome that really has the heart of the Eastward Crusade?

"Taiwei doesn't know, these two empires have also heard of it, they are not the same size as Seleuc, the population of Rome is probably as large as the population of my Great Qin and the Mauryan Dynasty combined!"

"Huh? Is there such a powerful dynasty in this world? ”

"Yes, I thought about it just now, this Antiochus III is not the time to kill now, after conquering Seleucus, my Great Qin may have broken the balance between the many forces west of Seleucus, and the covenant between Antiochus III and Philip V of Macedon is still very strong, so keeping him may be useful for us in the future."

Ying Gao said such a thing, Meng Yi and Xiao He and the others were all silent, leaving one Antiochus III not to kill a small matter, the key is that they all saw from this matter Ying Gao's fear of Rome and Macedonia.

From the Xiongnu at the beginning, to the later Mauryan Dynasty, and then to the Seleucians who had just been attacked, Yinggao almost really didn't take them seriously, but now these two names from the mouth of Antiochus III made Yinggao jealous, how powerful these two dynasties were, they all had their own judgments in their hearts.

"Tell me how the strength of the Macedonian dynasty is compared to your Seleucus?"

"The Macedonian dynasty has a long history, and its population is several times that of Seleuc, and Seleucia is not as good as it!"

Antiochus III did not hide the strength of the Macedonian dynasty, after all, he had already said so much, and it was not so bad, was it? But what Yinggao said next still surprised him.

"This news you said makes me very interested, since you know so much, I am not in a hurry to kill you, you will continue to live in the mansion I gave you, but one thing, without my consent, you will definitely not be able to leave the mansion for half a step."

Immediately afterwards, as soon as Yinggao waved his hand, Cao Shen led someone to take Antiochus III down, after all, the next thing Yinggao was going to discuss with them was not suitable for Antiochus III to listen to here, although his Daqin language was still commonplace, but it was not good for Yinggao to understand some things.

Seeing that Antiochus III was taken away, Xiao He hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, is there a bit of a crisis in the situation of the two generals, Han Xin and Meng Tian?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Yi also widened his eyes, after all, Meng Tian was his family, obviously the two of them were in the distant Seleuc with a large army, if the family really attacked from both sides at once, they could only be out of reach.

"No matter how strong the enemy is, the distance is also far away, he will not personally send two or three hundred thousand troops to fight us, what I am worried about is that they will use some forces to make Han Xin and Meng Tian unable to occupy Seleu steadily, once this time Seleu does not fall into our hands but is controlled by other forces, it must be difficult for us to break through from the Peacock Dynasty again!"

"How's that to be? The two generals, Han Xin and Meng Tian, obviously didn't know the plan of this Seleuc and other forces, and now remind them, I'm afraid it's too late! ”

"It's not too late! Since Antiochus III wanted to alert his men through a merchant, it means that he felt that this had not happened yet, and that there was still some time before it happened, and that it should be too late for us to inform them of this as quickly as possible. ”

Although Yinggao's head is a little messy now, and it is a little difficult to sort out what he should do at this time, one thing is certain, that is, Han Xin and Meng Tian's situation in Seleu is still very passive now, once they are really joined by the family, it is certain that they will lose a lot of people, and then even if they can keep Seleuc, Daqin's reputation will plummet because they killed a lot of Seleu people.

On the same day, a fast horse from Xianyang City went to the direction of the Western Regions along the straight road of Daqin, in fact, Yinggao didn't know what kind of scene Han Xin and Meng Tian would be like after his news was transmitted to Seleuc, but when things came to this point, it was definitely useless to be in a hurry, and what should be done still had to be done.

In fact, Antiochus III's guess on this matter is still very accurate, and it is none other than Flaminius, the consul of the Roman Kingdom of this generation, who has been hiding behind the scenes and secretly observing Daqin.

Rome of this era was not a dynasty like the Great Qin and Seleuc, and the fact that Flamminius was chosen by almost all the Roman nobles who stood at the top of the pyramid speaks volumes.

In the Roman kingdom, the consul was the king of the country, but if he was chosen, the fate of the country was already in his hands, and as long as he could always enjoy the support of the Roman senate, he would have power like an emperor.

At this time, Rome had just finished the war with Hannibal, and they had no intention of continuing to wage a huge war, because from the current situation, their old rival, the Macedonian dynasty, did not seem to have any bad moves.

However, the birth of Great Qin made him feel faintly uneasy, so he used his forces and envoys to clear the soldiers of Great Qin from the land of Seleucus without making a move.

But because if he wants to influence the affairs of the Seleuc realm, he must let Philip V know nothing, so their cycle is also very long, and these joints Antiochus III can think of, so he will not forget to let a merchant report to him when he arrives in Daqin, the reason for this is because he knows that it may take a lot of time for Rome to affect his territory.

And there is another point that Antiochus III did not tell Yinggao, that is, although Philip V and himself are allies, but they have already spoken before signing the covenant, it must be no problem to attack together, but if they encounter difficulties, they still have to solve them themselves, Philip V is a very arrogant monarch, because his dynasty still has a certain advantage over the Romans in the first Macedonian war, so he is not afraid of Rome, but he has been thinking about how to expand.

Moreover, Antiochus III also knew that in the eyes of Philip V, there was nothing to attack in the east, and it was not appropriate to waste so much effort for a Mauryan Empire, that is, Great Qin had already taken down the Mauryan Dynasty, and Philip V still treated Great Qin as a barbarian race.

This time the Romans' wishful thinking was still very loud, once they occupied the place of Seleuc, it would be equivalent to giving Philip V a draw, and the territory of a good ally became a mortal enemy, and it was naturally impossible to think about attacking the Mediterranean.

But all this is at the expense of sacrificing the interests of Great Qin first, this is not what Yinggao can endure, what Rome or Macedonia, although Yinggao didn't want to have any contact with them so early, but it was just a matter of time or time, if it comes, it will be safe, no matter who it is facing, Yinggao believes that the 300,000 horses of Han Xin and Meng Tian are not vegetarians, but there may be some losses.
