Xiang Yu's heart was full of questions, but at the same time, he was also very rational.

From Han Xin's letter, Xiang Yu had already seen that this time to put it bluntly, Daqin didn't want him to intervene in the war, otherwise Han Xin wouldn't have to put forward the concept of borrowing the Tao early at this time.

I don't want the Huns to interfere in the war against the Seleuc, but I have to go from the territory of the Huns, which shows that Han Xin is still very clear, which shows that Daqin reassures the Huns that we are still allies, but this Seleuc, I really have to rely on myself to take him down.

"Shan Yu, if the cavalry of Great Qin really knocks down the Seleuc, the territory of our Xiongnu above the Mauryan Dynasty will be surrounded by the territory of Great Qin, which is not a good thing for my Xiongnu!"

After getting the news, Yu Ziqi, who has always been cautious, couldn't help but remind in a low voice in front of Xiang Yu, because the area of Seleu is really a bit large, once Daqin occupies the territory of Seleuc, and then clears the small country in front of Seleuc, it will almost encircle most of the place that the Huns are now occupied, which is obviously a situation that the Huns do not want to see.

But after Xiang Yu listened to Yu Ziqi's words, a wry smile appeared on his face: "Don't say that our Huns have received a lot of help from Great Qin before, even if there are no such matters, can we still ignore this request of Great Qin?" Could it be that we join forces with Seleucus to see if we can resist Great Qin? ”

As soon as Xiang Yu said this, Yu Ziqi and Long Ji and the others around him looked at each other, obviously there was nothing to refute.

Indeed, since the Xiongnu had already signed an alliance with Daqin, and Daqin had fulfilled it very well by this time, then the Xiongnu, as a relatively weak party, naturally could not destroy this covenant by themselves, in that case, no matter whether Daqin had the intention of breaking with you before, you would be equivalent to jumping into the fire pit by yourself.

Everyone of the Xiongnu knows that there are not many options for the Xiongnu at present, and they can only cooperate according to the situation of Daqin, and besides, Seleuc is a hard bone, Daqin did not let the Xiongnu gnaw this bone together, then an obvious advantage for the Xiongnu is that the Xiongnu saved an unknown number of soldiers and horses at once, according to Xiang Yu's rough estimate, if the Xiongnu sent 100,000 troops in this war, then at least 30,000 or 40,000 horses would be lost, otherwise it would be ironclad to take down the Seleucian.

And if Great Qin sent 300,000 troops, according to Xiang Yu's estimates, they would have to lose at least 100,000 to complete their goal.

This is not to share the superiority with the Seleuks in a battle, but to destroy the people, so the nature is different, but as long as the Seleu monarch still has a little chip in his hand, he has to play with the Great Qin people.

Xiang Yu's reply was sent to Hua's city as Han Xin expected, and the letter not only provided some information about the Seleuc that the Huns knew, but also assured Han Xin of their support for this war, and that no matter how many people there were in Great Qin, the Huns welcomed them very much, which undoubtedly showed the position of the Huns.

After getting Xiang Yu's feedback, Han Xin summoned Meng Tian and Lu Jia and other people who were mainly stationed on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty to him on the same day, as the commander of this attack on Seleuc, Ying Gao had already made it very clear in his letter to Lu Jia and Meng Tian, but all Han Xin's transfer, they had to support it unconditionally.

According to Han Xin's arrangement this time, in addition to the 200,000 horses he personally carried, Meng Tian took 100,000 elite soldiers with him, and the task of guarding Hua's City could only fall on Sima Xin's head temporarily.

This arrangement is basically the same as Meng Tian's imagination before, Yinggao's task to Han Xin is to suffer fewer than 50,000 casualties, which makes Han Xin have to get out all the strongest sergeants and generals, otherwise, there may be 200,000 enemy troops in front of him, and it is almost absolutely impossible to suffer casualties within 50,000.

The size of the 300,000 army is almost the largest number of troops sent by Daqin at one time after Yinggao became the emperor of Daqin.

The 300,000 army set out from Fahrenheit City in a mighty way, and the direction was Seleuc, they did not hide their true purpose, but let almost all the people of the Mauryan Dynasty know that the army of Great Qin was going to attack Seleuc.

Of course, the news reached the ears of Antiochus III for the first time.

Antiochus III already had a bad premonition in his heart at this time, he didn't know why Great Qin didn't choose a more subtle method, but wanted to attack his dynasty with such fanfare, but the more this is the case, doesn't it show the confidence of the Great Qin soldiers?

In this way, Antiochus III even thought about whether he had any weaknesses that could break through Great Qin's army with one blow, which is why they were so bold.

According to the number and speed of the Great Qin army, Antiochus III had even estimated when they would return to the area controlled by the Huns, and how long they would rush to their own territory if they did not stay in the area of the Huns.

But the more this happened, not only Antiochus III, but also the Seleucus generals, who counted the days and waited for the arrival of the enemy, and the tension in their hearts increased day by day.

Great Qin's army obviously has a few days to reach the vicinity here, but many Seleuk generals and sergeants have begun to lose sleep, and Antiochus III finally knew at this time that Great Qin's action was not without purpose, but a strategy!

While preparing various methods, and on the other hand, appeasing the generals who were getting more and more nervous day by day, Antiochus III thought in his heart that it was better to let Daqin's army come quickly, whether it was victory or defeat, so as to give himself a good time.

In addition, Antiochus III has always been concerned about Xiang Yu's movements, in his opinion, the Hun cavalry to join or not to join, the impact on the outcome of the battle between them and Daqin will be very large, if the Huns do not join, the team of 300,000 people will definitely have the strength to fight, if the Huns join, they will be enough.

It wasn't until Daqin's army was about to reach the territory controlled by the Huns, and the news that Antiochus III got was that the Huns didn't mean to gather a large army at all, and he finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Through this period of time and the Huns as neighbors, Antiochus III already has a lot of understanding of the Huns, he knows that the Huns' army is not assembled on a large scale outside the city on weekdays, but many of them are in their own tribes, once there is a big war, the Huns' elite soldiers will be regrouped together, and this situation at this time, it is obvious that they have no war.

"The Huns will not participate in this war, our enemy is the 300,000 army of Great Qin, if we can annihilate the 300,000 army of Great Qin here this time, we can protect the territory of our Seleu for decades!"

In the mobilization of his soldiers before the battle, Antiochus III said something very incendiary, 200,000 against 300,000, although the number was a disadvantage, but they occupied the advantage of defending the city, as well as the food and equipment in the city that almost never had to be worried.

After such a flicker by Antiochus III, the generals under his command did have a lot of spirit, and they added a lot of confidence that they could keep their dynasty under the iron hooves of Great Qin.

At this time, there were two people who were even more nervous than Antiochus III, and they were naturally Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.

In the previous period of time, even they themselves once thought that the secret agents of the ancient temple country had never returned to the ancient temple country at all, so Daqin must still know nothing about the relationship between Seleuc and them, under the influence of such thoughts, they all relaxed their vigilance, but it was precisely when their vigilance was almost gone, that Daqin's army came, and it was overwhelming.

Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai both knew that once the army of Great Qin arrived, the city where they were located would bear the brunt, and the army was a full 300,000 troops, and they did not know where Antiochus III wanted to put the place where he wanted to fight with the army of Great Qin, of course, they did not know whether the city they were in would be strategically abandoned.

If Seleuc has nothing to do, and if he still wants to have some ideas about the land of the Mauryan Empire in the future, Hu Hai's identity does have a lot of use, but now it is obviously not the case, 300,000 troops are pressing, and even how long Seleucus can hold out is not certain, and Antiochus III has no leisure to care about Hu Hai's identity.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if Great Qin came to attack Seleu because he knew that Antiochus III hid Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng in his own city, this matter would definitely not be a situation where Antiochus III handed over Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai and his Seleu would be fine.

Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng are just a reason now, and this reason is useless now.

At this time, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were nervously discussing what they should do next, seeing that Daqin's army was about to enter the city, if it was really time for them to be under the city, even if they wanted to, they might not be able to run.

"Childe, the monarch of Seleu should not give up this city, this city is the first gateway of Seleuc, if you give up so easily, the Seleuks will lose the opportunity in this battle!"

Obviously, Zhao Cheng meant to wait here a little longer, he had always believed that Antiochus III would not give up this city, and would send people to help them defend it.

But at this time, the expression in Hu Hai's eyes was quite serious, and after listening to Zhao Cheng's words, he shook his head slightly, obviously disagreeing with Zhao Cheng's statement.

"If Antiochus III didn't want to give up this city, his soldiers and horses would have come to set up defenses, and now Daqin's 300,000 troops have arrived in the territory of the Xiongnu, even if the defenders of Seleucus come over today, it is also in a hurry, Antiochus III must have already known the movements of Daqin's army, and there is only one reason why he still doesn't send troops over, that is, he has given up our city, but he wants to use our tens of thousands of horses to block Daqin's army a little, and he will arrange a defensive line behind, This city has become an outcast! ”

"Huh? This...... What should we do? ”

As soon as Zhao Cheng heard that a city they had been operating in for so long was about to be destroyed again, he turned into a bitter gourd face.

"This matter has not yet reached the point of exhaustion for us, which is why I asked Zhao Hu to develop another city earlier, once such a situation comes, our foundation can still be preserved."

"But now, if we directly abandon the city and flee, I'm afraid that the Seleuks will know about the secret city before us, and once Great Qin doesn't destroy the Seleuc, our life will be difficult." The cautious Zhao Cheng still has a lot of worries about this matter.

"Of course we won't withdraw at this time, we will withdraw when the army of Great Qin is about to arrive, so that the Seleuks think that they are unkind and unjust, and we have no choice but to leave, we can take our soldiers and wealth, quietly go to our city to watch the fight between these two forces, after they fight, maybe we will have other opportunities, it is always better to live under the nose of Seleuc!"

In Zhao Cheng's eyes, it was originally a very desperate thing, but when they arrived at Hu Hai, it became an opportunity for them to get rid of the status quo.

In fact, Antiochus III's thoughts on this matter were really the same as Hu Hai's, because he knew that even if he sent 100,000 troops, it would be impossible to successfully block Daqin's 300,000 horses in the city where Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were, the scale of that city was a little too small, and it was impossible to build reliable fortifications in it, even if he didn't give up, it would be a waste of time.
