Chapter 627: Cooperation
Yinggao's words should have pointed out the problem of Philip V, what he wanted, Yinggao's heart was still very clear, Daqin naturally couldn't let Philip V be called as a gun.
"Now that the monarch has already seen Philip V's thoughts, then we must not let his plan succeed, even if our Great Qin does not send troops, they will attack if they think they should attack, why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
Han Xin saw that Yinggao didn't seem to want to send troops to fight with Philip V, so he could only start to follow Yinggao's words again.
But after listening to Han Xin's words, Yinggao waved his hand again and said with a smile: "We have signed an alliance with Philip V, during this time, Rome is our common enemy, and now the Romans have defeated our allies, if we sit idly by, it will not be in line with our Daqin's consistent style." ”
"Your Majesty, this army has fallen into the tricks of Philip V, and if we don't send troops, we will be in such a situation, what should we do?"
Ying Gao's words directly gave Han Xin to the Ganmeng circle, Han Xin didn't know whether Ying Gao was going to attack or ignore Philip V's request, if he sent troops, it must be Han Xin himself with the soldiers and horses, if he didn't go, it would have nothing to do with him, so Han Xin was still very concerned about this matter.
"It is possible to send troops, but it has to be in our way, and I will never directly send my Great Qin's elite soldiers to a place so far away from Great Qin because of a request from Philip V, such a long journey, no matter what Philip V can give us in the end, it will be worth the loss."
"What does the king mean?"
"Because of this matter, our Great Qin will definitely not send more than 50,000 troops, such a scale of General Meng Tian can be completely solved, and if this matter is to be done, I want to pull Xiang Yu into this matter, I will explain to Philip V in the letter, Great Qin and the Xiongnu can send a total of 50,000 troops, my Great Qin can send 30,000 troops, and the Xiongnu can send 20,000 troops, if there are more, we will be powerless!"
When Han Xingang heard it, he really couldn't understand why Yinggao would involve Xiang Yu in this matter, after all, this is a matter that will give you a reward once you have achievements, if Xiang Yu is also pulled into this matter, no matter whether Xiang Yu sends troops of 20,000 or 30,000, in the end, Xiang Yu must also get benefits, in this case, it will undoubtedly squeeze out the share that Daqin should have gotten.
Seeing Han Xin like this, Ying Gao patiently explained at the moment: "Our Great Qin's appetite, it seems that it really can't be so big at present, if we don't give some of these merits to the Huns, then it will not only make Xiang Yu have some bad thoughts, but also if the Romans can't be directly exterminated this time, the enmity between the Romans and Great Qin doesn't know how much it will increase, in case the Romans think that Great Qin is easier to deal with than Macedonia, their minds will directly target Great Qin, Only by continuing to unite the Huns well, in the face of possible Roman attacks in the future, can we advance and retreat with the Huns. ”
This time Han Xin understood, he knew that this was Yinggao's decision that no one should be offended, didn't you Philip V want me to send troops to help you deal with the Romans, I can indeed send troops, but the number of troops still has to be decided by us, 50,000 elite soldiers, not much, but less is completely a lot, even if Philip V thinks that Yinggao should send 100,000 troops, but whether he wants these 50,000 people or not, has a very great impact on the relationship between him and the Romans.
Another point, Yinggao did not help Philip V by himself, but also brought his ally Xiang Yu, before in the battle to guard Seleuc, Xiang Yu and the Hun cavalry under his command have shown their faces in the battle, and the combat effectiveness is also obvious to all, Yinggao believes that the generals under the command of Philip V will definitely inform Philip V of this detail after returning to Macedonia, and now there is such a strong comrade-in-arms, why not Philip V?
In addition, Yinggao's move was also to make clear to Philip V and the Romans, that is, now Daqin and Xiongnu are on the same side as Philip V, and Rome is their common enemy.
Judging from these points, even though Philip V may be a little dissatisfied in his heart, he will definitely not reject Yinggao's proposal because of such a little dissatisfaction.
Ying Gao's work, has always been a decision is a decision, once a decision is made, Ying Gao will not think so much, he immediately wrote a letter, one letter is to Meng Tian, the other letter is to Philip V, and Han Xin and other generals who are guarding in the territory of Daqin have not changed at all, and even this matter has not experienced any decent discussion in the court, in fact, the officials of Great Qin are used to such situations, Yinggao still allows them to discuss daily affairs in the court, but for such a relatively large matter, Yinggao only discusses with people related to this matter.
When Yinggao's letter arrived in Seleuc, Meng Tian actually knew about Philip V and the Romans going to war on the territory of Egypt, and Meng Tian also knew that Daqin had signed an alliance with Philip V to deal with the Romans, but Meng Tian knew that his task was to defend the territory of Seleuc, not to care about those unrealistic things.
In Yinggao's letter, Yinggao told Meng Tian that once Philip V used troops against the countries in the Mediterranean region again, Meng Tian would give them some support, but Daqin only sent two lieutenants and 30,000 cavalry this time, and these 30,000 cavalry could not be those cavalry who were proficient in formation, but only cavalry that was slightly inferior to those elite soldiers.
Although Yinggao's official explanation was to let these people see blood, of course Meng Tian knew that this was just a way for Yinggao not to want the true strength of his cavalry to be exposed under the noses of the enemy.
At the same time, Xiang Yu also received the news that Yinggao did not hide the news of his alliance with Philip V against the Romans from Xiang Yu, and explained that this time it was directly invited by Philip V, Yinggao wanted to advance and retreat together with Xiang Yu, and put forward a proposal that he would send 30,000 troops and the Xiongnu send 20,000 troops, and explained that if Philip V, who sent troops this time after defeating the Romans, would be beneficial to them, these benefits would definitely be shared equally with the Xiongnu.
In fact, Xiang Yu has no reason to refuse such a proposal, he is not afraid of Yinggao and himself to send troops together, what he is afraid of is that people will go to play with Philip V, but they will not take themselves with him, if that situation occurs, it means that the time for Great Qin to annex the Xiongnu is not far away.
The last person to receive the letter was Philip V, after he read Yinggao's letter, there was always a feeling of unfinished, Yinggao's guess was not wrong at all, originally Philip V thought that he would send 100,000 troops, and Daqin would also send 100,000 troops, so that he could attack Egypt.
But now people are only willing to send 50,000 troops, and it is a coalition of Great Qin and Xiongnu, which is a little bit less interesting.
Fifty thousand elite soldiers is already a big help for Philip V, after all, he heard the generals under his command say that the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry is even a little worse than that of Daqin's cavalry, it is about the same.
After thinking about it for a while, Philip V could only acquiesce to this fact, he knew that there were only 100,000 men and horses guarding in this place in Daqin, and he wanted Daqin to use these 100,000 men and horses on him, it was absolutely impossible, so looking at it, there was no greater difference between Daqin sending 50,000 troops by himself and sending 50,000 troops with the Xiongnu.
"Now that we have the help of Great Qin and the Xiongnu, and attacking Egypt again is just around the corner, you can set off tomorrow to meet Great Qin's general Meng Tian in the Seleu camp, and see how much combat power he sent to us is there."
The day after receiving Yinggao's letter, Philip V issued such an order in his court, although the last battle has not been long, but the experience of failure made Philip V very unhappy, although the last battle if Philip V fought hard, he would not necessarily lose, but from the current result, defeat is defeat, the people of Macedonia and the people of Rome do not think so, so Philip V must quickly recall the field.
When Philip V's envoy arrived at Seleucon's camp, he found that the 50,000 troops had been prepared as promised to Philip V, and the 20,000 Hun soldiers had also arrived.
After receiving a warm reception from Meng Tian, Meng Tian informed the messenger sent by Philip V that the 50,000 troops and generals he and the Xiongnu's Shan Yu Xiang Yu were ready, and now what he was waiting for was to let him bring the army over.
Of course, Meng Tian also asked this general to bring a message to Philip V, that is, if Philip V used the army of Daqin and the Xiongnu as a death squad, Meng Tian would never be able to spare them.
As a result, it didn't take three days, the Macedonian general returned to Macedonia with 50,000 horses, and even he himself didn't expect that Daqin and the Xiongnu trusted Philip V so much that they didn't even send a main general to let these 50,000 elite soldiers follow him.
50,000 horses, in fact, to a certain extent, does not make Philip V's strength have any substantial improvement, but in terms of public opinion, the pressure brought by these 50,000 people to the Romans is very great.
As soon as the 50,000 men arrived, Philip V sent a message to the Egyptians and Romans.
In the text, Philip V claimed that his attack on Egypt was a normal war, but the Romans came out to insert a vat despite the fact that they had nothing to do with Egypt, which was really a violation of the rules, and in this case, the Great Qin and the Xiongnu from the far east could not stand it, and they sent troops in great anger to help Philip V rectify the arrogance of the Romans.
In this way, not to mention the others, the Romans suddenly became a force that everyone shouted in the mouth of Philip V, and the rise of Daqin has aroused great concern in the whole world, not to say goodbye, the people of Daqin have been developing until now, although others are very ignorant of the history of Daqin, but there is one, Daqin has almost never suffered any defeat, people say that they took the Peacock Dynasty, and they took it directly, and they said that they took Seleucus, and then they also caught Antiochus III.
And just because of Seleuc's incident, Daqin really made an enmity with the Romans, and it is no secret that the Romans' army of 300,000 was killed and their armor was abandoned.
In the past, there was only one Macedonian enemy of the Romans, and in the eyes of many people, the Romans still had a lot of advantages over Macedonia, but now if you add Daqin to the Macedonian camp, everything is not certain.
Before the war came, public opinion came first, and the news quickly reached the ears of the Romans, and at this time, it was the time when the Roman consuls had just taken over most of the power from the hands of the Roman Senate, and in the process of fighting for power, whether it was the consuls or the Senate, they did not pay much attention to Philip V and Daqin.
According to their previous assumptions, this should be enough for Philip V to be honest for a long time, but they really didn't expect that after such a long time, Philip V would make such a big move.
In fact, Philip V is also scaring the Romans, he said everything in the text, but only did not say how many troops Daqin and Xiongnu sent in order to cooperate with Philip V, although it was actually only 50,000 horses, but after the Romans saw it, they didn't know how many, 100,000 is possible, and it is completely possible with the strength of Daqin.
After receiving the news, the consul knew that it was time for him to make a decision again, and that Philip V had not yet begun to send troops, and that he would not have done so if he had not been completely sure of what he knew about Philip V.
In such a situation, Egypt will definitely come to ask for help, but if he sends troops like last time, he will definitely face the fight of the armies of Macedonia, Daqin and Xiongnu, and what kind of situation he will face this time, he has nothing to count in his heart.
