Chapter 564: The Bayonet Behind (First Update)
"Yes, you have been investigating this boundary for a long time, but I don't know if there is any progress?"
"Alas, except for those who told you before you came here, there are no new discoveries, I'm afraid that if you don't find those people, it will be difficult to get to the bottom of this matter!"
Because of the control of the plague, Lu Jia was really a little negligent about this matter, and his own idea was that these centaurs would definitely return to their own control with their occupation of those cities that were not occupied, so he did not give too high a priority to this matter.
"I thought that it would be difficult for you to find these centaurs for a while, have you ever thought that since these centaurs can be undetected by you in the place controlled by Great Qin, why will they be reported to you after being seen in the place controlled by the Huns?"
"Oh? Is the king saying that someone did this deliberately? ”
At that moment, Ying Gao re-said the arguments he had told Xiang Yu before in front of Lu Jia, in fact, after Lu Jia listened to it, he really had a feeling that there was another village, but he didn't connect the affairs of these tens of thousands of people with Hu Hai before, but now that he is connected, everything seems to be logical.
"Then we will immediately send men and horses to search for Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng in the periphery of the entire Peacock Dynasty, and we will definitely hand these two over to you!"
People are gone under their noses, because the emperor has come over in person for this matter, this is really not Meng Tian's usual style of doing things, so as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly stood up and promised.
"Don't be anxious, Hu Hai has now become a slippery loach, and you don't even have full control over the Peacock Dynasty, so why not talk about the dynasties around the Peacock Dynasty capturing Hu Hai? Even if you found those tens of thousands of people, Hu Hai would not know where to run for a long time. ”
"How's that to be?"
"The two of you write down this matter first, I have already discussed it with the Hun Shan Yu Xiang Yu, once I find clues, I will inform the two of you, don't startle the snake after you get the news, you must first send it to Xianyang City with a fast horse, and wait for my decision!"
This matter is related to Hu Hai, the prince of Great Qin, and there is naturally nothing wrong with Yinggao's personal decision, and it is not considered to be interfering in their internal affairs in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, so Meng Tian and Lu Jia will not have any temper at that time.
Although Yinggao is quite considerable, most of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng went to a small dynasty that is close to the Peacock Dynasty, but according to his thoughts, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng will definitely be quiet and dare not move, and they will definitely not dare to make any moves at this time and deliberately expose their positions.
But this time things were exactly the opposite of what he imagined, in the capital of the Seleuc Dynasty, Zhao Cheng was interviewing Antiochus III alone, and what Zhao Cheng said out of his mouth was also quite surprising to Antiochus III.
"What? The emperor of Great Qin has reached the realm of the Mauryan Empire? Could it be that he is preparing to move the capital to the Peacock Dynasty, if that is the case, I am afraid that we will all become the souls of the Great Qin Iron Horse! ”
For this news, Antiochus III couldn't sit still, the luxury of the Mauryan Dynasty, he had a number in his heart, no matter which monarch mainly saw what the Mauryan Dynasty was like, he had to weigh what his previous dynasty was like, and the idea of moving the capital was inevitable.
After listening to Antioch's frightened words, Zhao Cheng waved his hand calmly and said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be like this, the emperor of Great Qin will not move the capital to the Peacock Empire, according to the scout report sent to the territory of the Peacock Empire, the emperor of Great Qin is just a meeting with the Xiongnu Shan Yu Xiang Yu, and the other is nothing more than to inspect the progress of the Peacock Dynasty." ”
After hearing these words, Antiochus III breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the ruling center of Great Qin was not in the Mauryan Dynasty, he was not so worried, Seleucus could develop secretly, but it would take time to develop secretly, according to the ability shown by Daqin and the Hun cavalry now, he would definitely not be able to do it.
"But I have come here on the orders of my prince, there is one thing, I don't know if the king can help me and wait, of course, once this matter is completed, it will be very good for Seleuc."
Seeing that Antiochus III had just breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Cheng hurriedly said such a sentence again, obviously, it was not his real purpose to come to report the news, it was his real purpose to come to Antiochus III for help.
"Oh? You have just settled down in the city on my Seleu border, everything is very stable, what else do you need my help with, you must know that it is already very risky to hide you in my Seleu territory, you don't want to inch in! ”
Although Antiochus III was afraid of the emperor of Great Qin, he was not afraid of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, although he got a lot of benefits by letting them station on the border this time, but after all, it was Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng who asked him, so from time to time he still had to knock Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
"That's naturally not, although we have 30,000 mercenaries under our command, but the combat effectiveness of these mercenaries is not very high, it's still good to defend the city, but if you really do something important, it really can't even choose more than a dozen people, so this time I specially borrowed twenty real warriors from Seleuc!"
"Twenty Seleucus warriors? What is the use of your Seleu warriors, if you can't say it well, I naturally can't lend the Seleu elite to you at will. ”
"The monarch calls himself the emperor, naturally he has some ambitions in his heart, although now the Great Qin and the Xiongnu are powerful, but we should naturally find a way to reverse the situation, and now the emperor of the Great Qin has come to the territory of the Peacock Empire, which is not yet fully controlled, doesn't it give me a big opportunity to wait?"
Zhao Cheng said that at this point, Antiochus III naturally understood what they were doing with their own borrowing.
"Are you going to ......," Antiochus III asked, making a very subtle gesture.
"Yes, but please rest assured, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, we will not let them know where the prince is hiding, let alone let them know that there are Seleu warriors involved. The Emperor can just wait in this city for the result of what I am waiting for! ”
Zhao Cheng said this, obviously they are already fully prepared, you Antiochus III don't have to care about anything, you just have to be out of the people, after you get out of the people, you will stop waiting here, when there is a good result, it will be very good for you Antiochus III, if there is no good result, you will pretend not to know and it will be over.
Antiochus III is not stupid, of course he knows how much it means to his dynasty once this thing is successful, and if he fails, he will lose dozens of elites, such a deal, unless Antiochus III is a big fool, or he will definitely do it.
"In that case, I will give you fifty people, these fifty people, all of them are the most elite warriors of my Seleuc Dynasty, if you fail, I will also pursue you, but once you let the other party know that this matter is related to my Seleuc Dynasty, before they catch you, I will let you not know where you died!"
Soft and hard, this is the consistent style of Antiochus III, don't you want twenty, then good, I'll give you fifty, but if you reveal your identity, it will be a death.
Zhao Cheng is naturally not afraid of Antiochus III's scare, the reason why he came here this time, in fact, borrowing people is really secondary, the main purpose is to let Antiochus III know that this thing is what they are going to do, don't say hello in advance, once it is done successfully, people Antiochus III will not know who did it.
After this matter was done, Zhao Cheng rushed back to the city with the fifty Seleucid warriors who had an unexpected harvest, and in the city lord's mansion, Hu Hai and Zhao Hu were anxiously waiting for him, obviously if he didn't deliver the news, this matter would not start.
Seeing that Zhao Cheng came back with fifty people, Hu Hai and Zhao Hu breathed a sigh of relief, which at least showed that Antiochus III supported this matter, although it was said that it would be a failure and would not let his Seleucid dynasty get involved, but if the situation really changed at that time, some things would not be up to him.
Zhao Hu temporarily tested the abilities of the fifty people and found that it was really good, so he decisively gave up the mercenaries he had selected before, took these Seleu warriors, changed into strange clothes, and set off at night.
After a few days of busy work, Yinggao's main purpose of coming here has been completed, but he has no plans to go back, he can go to the realm of this Peacock Dynasty, it is not just a casual come, all aspects must be arranged before he can move this time, so Yinggao doesn't want to just look at Hua's City and be done, he also wants to find a few places that Daqin just controlled to take a look.
Originally, Meng Tian and Lu Jia were both opposed, but neither of them said anything against it, the reason is very simple, that is, once they don't agree with Yinggao to inspect some cities, doesn't it mean that they don't manage these cities well, and they are afraid that Yinggao will find problems after he goes?
Under such thoughts, Lu Jia and Meng Tian can only let Yinggao choose the city arbitrarily on the map, whichever one you choose, we will go there, so as to save Yinggao from suspecting that Lu Jia and Meng Tian have something to hide from Yinggao.
In this way, with a wave of his hand, Yinggao chose a city that was a little far away from Fahrenheit City, not only wanting to go to this city to have a look, but also wanting to inspect all the cities along the way on the way back.
In fact, Yinggao didn't believe Lu Jia and Meng Tian, but wanted to see what the people of the Peacock Dynasty were towards Daqin as far away from Hua City and the Western Regions.
Meng Tian roughly calculated, this round trip basically took at least half a month, so he decided to personally escort Yinggao, after all, there was no registration of the household registration of the people there in the various cities on the other side of Hua's City, according to their original plan, they did not reach the step of registering the household registration, and they were still not close to that step.
Under such circumstances, there are so many people in and out of these cities every day that if someone sneaks into the city, no one will be able to find out.
For the sake of Yinggao's safety, in addition to the 200 elite guards brought by Tian Yan, Meng Tian also brought almost all his personal soldiers with him, and the group went to the city that Yinggao wanted to go to.
At the stage that these cities are in now, it is the officials and soldiers of Great Qin, and there are some scholars who are translators in the city to publicize the laws of Great Qin to the people there, popularize the knowledge of Great Qin, and teach them the simple language of Great Qin.
This process is definitely long, only when the people of the Peacock Dynasty can at least understand the language of Great Qin, they can truly understand the laws of Great Qin, and then understand what is better about Great Qin compared to the previous Peacock Dynasty, according to Lu Jia and Meng Tian's previous predictions, this process will last at least a year.
Walking on the road between Fahrenheit City and the city he chose, Yinggao once again realized what it means to play a good hand.
Whether it is the size of the city or the condition of the road, the Mauryan Dynasty is definitely much stronger than the Great Qin during the period of the First Emperor, although there is no straight road of uniform size, but their road conditions reflect how prosperous the original place was. But all this, the relics did not grasp.
But Yinggao also understood that it was the high-ranking castes above the Peacock Dynasty that brought such prosperity, and it had nothing to do with the ordinary people of the Peacock Dynasty, and the arrival of Great Qin was to change this.
At the same time, the whereabouts of Yinggao and his party were silently watched by a tall man in black in the distance.
"This guy really went to such a distant city as Gongzi Hu said, did he really think that a Meng Tian would be able to protect him?"
This big man is obviously Zhao Hu, but the fifty Seleucid warriors given to them by Antiochus III are not by his side now, and I don't know where he has arranged them, Zhao Hu looked at Yinggao and their group, and then disappeared into the darkness thoughtfully.
Ying Gao came all the way, and he really didn't find any danger, so after arriving in the city, he still recognized the management of the security of the Mauryan Dynasty by the army led by Meng Tian, and praised Meng Tian a few words on the night he arrived in the city, which made Meng Tian very useful.
