Chapter 639: Sincerity

After Yinggao said this, Philip V could only bow his head without any temper, he didn't know what he should say, because every sentence Yinggao said was very reasonable, and he finally saw that the Roman cavalry had made a lot of progress, but he only improved in his heart, but the combat effectiveness of the sergeants has been stagnant.

Especially after Macedonia has the powerful ally of Daqin, it doesn't know how much lax it is in recruiting and training.

Of course, he who dies will have to bear the consequences, and now is the time for the consequences of Philip V's death.

Seeing that Philip V stopped talking, Yinggao of course knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he said: "The ability of the Romans is now on par with our Great Qin, even if we really fight, we are not sure of victory, and the territory of Macedonia, which can directly attack Egypt and capture the entire Mediterranean, is not much closer to the territory of Rome than the Seleus and the Mauryan Empire, so if we want to destroy Rome, some territories of Macedonia still have to be under the control of our Great Qin." ”

Yinggao's words are quite subtle, but if it is translated, it is your Macedonian land, you should give us some of it, and these must not be small amounts, Yinggao has already made it very clear that Daqin wants to use the Macedonian land as a bridgehead to attack Rome, which requires a large number of garrisons and transportation of materials in the territory that originally belonged to Macedonia.

"Since the whole of Macedonia was rescued by Great Qin from the hands of the Romans, and Great Qin wants the territory of Macedonia, we naturally have no intention of hindering it, and our Macedonia is also willing to attack the Romans together with Great Qin as a subsidiary of Great Qin!"

Philip V had actually basically thought about it before he came, he didn't say anything else this time, even if Daqin wanted all the Macedonian territory, he had to nod and agree, if he wanted to let the rest of his life live normally, he had to agree to Yinggao's conditions, he had already explored almost, whether it was the previous Mauryan monarch Shelijia or the Seleus monarch Antiochus III, it was quite good to live in Xianyang City, the capital of Great Qin, In particular, Antiochus III, who has some real talents, has also become a guest minister in the territory of Great Qin, and if he can't be trusted by Yinggao to continue to stay on the borders of Macedonia, it will be nothing more than a similar situation to Antiochus III.

"Okay, in this case, I will not immediately remove your control over the Macedonians, within a few days, I will ask General Meng Tian to list the several cities that our Great Qin wants to use, and then the Great Qin's army may take over these cities, if there is anything you need your help, General Meng Tian will also inform you, I am here, in fact, to capture Rome, the Romans are not defeated by me, I will never go back."

At this moment, Philip V admired Yinggao and almost threw himself on the ground, and people came to destroy the Romans, so how much confidence must be there to say such things.

Philip V knew that Ying Gao meant that he would let him do a good job of logistics support for Daqin's army in the back, although he didn't say it on the surface, but it made it clear that he had already called you as a little brother, but that's it, in Philip V's opinion, he could at least exist as a Macedonian monarch for a while, and he didn't know how much better than Antiochus III and Sari, so he still had to do this errand obediently, after all, in this situation, if he didn't follow Daqin, There is only one way to be destroyed.

"Although the king commands, it is not only the king's long-cherished wish to destroy Rome, but I am also very supportive, no matter what the king commands, we will do our best to support it!"

Of course, Yinggao also knew that this was just a manifestation of Philip V's people having to bow their heads under the eaves, but what he wanted now was such an effect, although Yinggao's original idea was that Philip V had a bit of backbone, so that he could directly send him to Xianyang like Antiochus III, and then control the territory of Macedonia by his own people.

But the possible result of that is that the Macedonian generals and the people are very resistant to Daqin, in that case, Ying Gao may take a long time to control Macedonia, and in this case, it obviously does not take too long, and it is definitely better to give orders directly to Philip V than to command those Macedonians himself.

After telling Philip V again, Yinggao did not keep Philip V for more, but directly put him back, saying that he was going back to prepare for his life, so that he could react immediately when Daqin was in need.

On the way back, a general who had been following Philip V couldn't help but say by Philip V's side: "How does this Great Qin shout at me Macedonia, why should we listen to their opinions after we go back, once they really want to take our Macedonian territory as their own, why don't we just let them see the strength of our Macedonian cavalry?" ”

Obviously, this general under Philip V was still very dissatisfied with their current situation, and he did not think that Great Qin could be above them.

After hearing his words, Philip V sighed, shook his head and said: "We have been proven to be powerless under the attack of the Roman cavalry, and the cavalry of Great Qin can only be more powerful than the cavalry of the Romans, if we make a promise to Great Qin after we go back, what awaits us will be a stronger enemy than the last time, can we win the battle against an enemy of such strength?" If not, the name Macedonia will never appear in this world again! ”

After Philip V's words, his generals were speechless, he didn't know why, Philip V was an eloquent monarch, they were all good generals, and the Macedonian cavalry had been training step by step, why was it only a short two or three years of hard work, not only could not beat Rome, but even Daqin couldn't beat them, they couldn't accept such a big change for a while, but the result was cruelly presented in front of them.

"Your Majesty, then we ......"

"Sooner or later, this world will be the Great Qin or the Romans, if we don't want to perish here, we can only temporarily attach ourselves to one of them, become a king or defeat a villain, our warriors will not be able to achieve victory in the station, and we will never be the master in this world."

Philip V is also a figure who has stood in the clouds for a long time, he sees all this very clearly, the competition between the various forces is one point to put it bluntly, that is, the competition for troops, if the sergeants under your command can beat others, you will naturally be able to stand on the top of the clouds, if the sergeants under your command can not beat others, there are only two roads left for you, one is to become a subsidiary force of others. The other is to go to total destruction.

Now if Macedonia is completely destroyed, it must be unacceptable in the hearts of these people, so Philip V can only choose the first way, he knows that it is not easy to let his generals, soldiers and Macedonian people agree with this matter, but only himself, as long as the name Macedonia is still there, then there will always be people who remember the glorious history of Macedonia.

"Then the monarch thinks that Daqin and Rome, which side can dominate the world, and now that the monarch has chosen Daqin, in my opinion, it is a last resort, because even if the Romans are soft, they will definitely kill the monarch and our Macedonian generals, but once Daqin can't win the battle with the Romans in the end, what awaits us will still be the end of destruction."

"Yes, in this world, if there is our Macedonia, there will be no Rome in the end, if there are Romans, there will be no Macedonia in the end, but what I was given before is not only Daqin a choice, the reason why we chose Daqin is because I see a potential in the generals and sergeants of Daqin that the Romans do not have, and the Daqin people now undoubtedly have a very strong emperor, who can command the soldiers of Daqin behind the scenes to capture the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleuc, It is enough to show the loyalty of the Great Qin soldiers to this emperor and the foresight of this emperor, and he is a unique existence in the realm of Great Qin, no one can influence his decisions, let alone shake his dignity, and most importantly, he is not yet thirty years old. ”

Philip V's head is obviously not in vain, his analysis of Daqin is still very thorough, although today he is only the first time to see Yinggao himself, but as soon as he looks at Yinggao's words and behaviors, he knows what kind of person Yinggao is when he is also a monarch.

"The Roman consuls of this generation are also rumored to be very strong, if it weren't for his repeated obstructions, we wouldn't have all failed these times, no matter how powerful the emperor of Great Qin is, it seems that he can't personally lead the troops to the battle, but the Roman consuls can personally command on the front line."

"No matter how powerful the Roman consul is, he is not the monarch of Rome, nor the emperor of Rome, there is also the Roman Senate behind him, once the Romans encounter a major event, the Senate will not necessarily always be with the Roman consuls, if he has been winning the war, it is good to say, once one day the battle is lost, the Senate will be replaced with another face. Unfortunately, we in Macedonia are not the power that can defeat the Romans. ”

After expressing such an emotion, Philip V stopped talking, he knew that in his life, there should be no chance, and to be able to finally keep the name of Macedonia is already the greatest achievement he can do.

When Philip V returned to Macedonia from Seleucia, the Roman consuls also returned to Rome from Macedonia, and he was still very angry about this experience of his failure, if Daqin had not joined at that time, he had every chance to include most of Macedonia's territory under his command.

But it was at this time that the Great Qin people joined in, and they grasped the timing and strength so accurately that they finally succeeded in picking peaches.

This battle was still very heavy for the Romans, they harvested the lives of Philip V at a cost of nearly 150,000 elite cavalry, otherwise Philip V would not have directly surrendered to Great Qin, in this world, in this era, no matter what kind of force, it is difficult to maintain the combat effectiveness of the most powerful forces under the condition of losing 150,000 of the most elite army.

The purpose of the Romans was very clear, that is, to attack Macedonia, and in this purpose, this operation was obviously a failure, so the Roman consuls did not receive much support after returning to Rome.

In particular, the Senate in Rome, because when he set out, he had sworn that he was confident that he could destroy Philip V, but now he returned with a feather, and it was obviously impossible to satisfy the people of the Senate.

"Why did our army rout directly as soon as Great Qin's army appeared, why didn't we also defeat Great Qin's cavalry like we did with the Macedonians?"

When the Roman consuls faced the Roman Senate, the first question of the senators was what they really couldn't understand, why the Roman cavalry was able to beat the people under Philip V to the ground, but after a battle with the Great Qin cavalry, they withdrew directly, although the Roman army did suffer heavy losses in the battle with the warriors under Philip V, but at that time it was not without the strength of a battle.

Faced with such a retarded question, the Roman consul had an urge in his heart to directly cut off the old man who asked the question, and he knew that there must be people from the Senate in the army he led.

Moreover, the people sent by the Senate would not have informed the Senate of the war with any personal feelings, they would only state the facts, but after hearing the facts, they had no idea why the consuls had made the decision at that time, so they would question his decision with what they had imagined in their heads, which was undoubtedly a very stupid act.

"Because our cavalry can't completely defeat Daqin's cavalry in terms of strength, we have been improving over the years, and Daqin is also improving, plus we are a tired army, and if we continue to fight hard, we can only achieve the same result."
