After listening to Antiochus III's words, Zhao Cheng made a very surprised expression, and then hurriedly walked three steps and two steps in front of Antiochus III, and asked in a low voice: "If Daqin really knows that the two of us are here, I'm afraid that there will be a big war in Seleucus!" Your Excellency might as well let the two of us go at this time, we will let Daqin know that we are somewhere else, and then Seleu may be safe!" The king has been so helpful to us for so long, and my son and I are already content! ”

Zhao Cheng's words were so emotional that he almost cried out loud, but Antiochus III, who had a strong personality, was really very fond of this.

In the eyes of Antiochus III, if he took the initiative to say that he would get Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai out, it would be fine, but now this matter has been brought up by the family himself, if he does it again, then he will become an out-and-out ruthless and unrighteous person, so he can't.

"You don't have to say that, don't say that now Daqin doesn't necessarily know that the two of you are in my Seleu land, even if you know, what can you do? To tell you the truth, there will be a war between Great Qin and Seleuc sooner or later, maybe a small country like the Gusha Kingdom will not give Great Qin any sense of crisis, but my Seleuc has at least hundreds of thousands of cavalry and millions of people, and a dynasty like ours will not be allowed by Great Qin to exist around the Peacock Dynasty for a long time, and it has little to do with the two of you. ”

"The king's meaning is ......"

Zhao Cheng made a look of disbelief and asked tremblingly.

"You are in that city, but you have to send more people to keep an eye on the movements in the territory of the Mauryan Empire, once there are any signs of sending troops, you must let me know as soon as possible, after all, the territory of Great Qin is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for them to rely on those garrisons on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty to make us surrender, the Seleucians were born to fight, and they are not afraid of the cavalry of Great Qin."

"I thank you on behalf of my son-in-law, your kindness, as long as my son-in-law and I don't die, I will definitely repay you with a good life!"

After throwing down such a sentence that made Antiochus III also very grateful, Zhao Cheng left the capital of Seleucus on the grounds that he would go back to train with his son and investigate the movements in the territory of the Mauryan Empire.

After returning to the city where Hu Hai was located, Zhao Cheng hurriedly informed Hu Hai of the situation of Antiochus III, and it was obvious that this was exactly the result they wanted to achieve.

Antiochus III had a lot of trust in them, which naturally stemmed from inertial thinking, after all, in the eyes of the monarchs of these fighting nations, a disagreement should be positive, but of course you should be your enemy, not yourself.

"In this case, our secret city still has to develop steadily, and we must choose a guy we can firmly control to show up for us, so that even if Seleucus is killed by the army of Great Qin, we will not accompany Antiochus III to be martyred, and when the time comes, we will hide in the city that is actually controlled by us, and it will be difficult for Meng Tian and others to find out."

Hu Hai had already thought about the way back for the two of them before Zhao Cheng came back, if Antiochus III had already suspected them, they could run away now, and then hide in the small city where they had developed a little, if Antiochus III hadn't suspected them, they could still wait here, and if there was any change in the territory of the Mauryan Empire, they would definitely be able to know it for the first time.

"Okay, in that case, it's enough for us to observe the movements of Great Qin and the Xiongnu, but does Childe really think that Seleu doesn't have the strength to fight in front of Great Qin? After all, Daqin's cavalry all traveled long distances to get here, and Seleuc was quite familiar with everything here, once Daqin's army suffered a defeat, I am afraid that it would be very difficult to destroy Seleuc. ”

Zhao Cheng didn't have any opinion on Hu Hai's words, but thinking of Antiochus III's self-confidence, he suddenly had the idea that Seleucus didn't seem to be able to be destroyed so easily.

"Sir, listen to me, even if there is a dynasty that can defeat Great Qin, it will definitely not be a mere Seleuc, Seleucus is indeed more difficult to deal with than the original Peacock Dynasty, but if my brother can't even win such a dynasty, how can he dare to show off his might in the realm of such a big Peacock Dynasty?"

Although he hated Yinggao very much in his heart, Hu Hai still recognized Yinggao and Daqin's ability, he had not stayed in Xianyang Palace for several years in vain, and he probably knew what kind of state Yinggao was in every day.

Before, he didn't understand that Yinggao had almost become an emperor who was more successful than the First Emperor, but why did he still work so hard, and now he finally knew, obviously Yinggao had long known that there was not only one Great Qin in the world, and the enemy was not only enemies like the Xiongnu and Nanyue, and he had been preparing for Great Qin to come to this point all these years.

Therefore, the background of Daqin is definitely not what Zhao Cheng estimated, although Zhao Cheng has also been ambushed in Xianyang City for several years, but after all, he can only watch the information that Zhao Hu collected for him in the dark, what Yinggao is doing, he will definitely not know.

After this letter from the king of the ancient temple country, the situation between the Seleucians and the Great Qin suddenly became tense, at least in the eyes of the Seleucians, they were carrying out a large-scale conscription that had never been done before, and the construction of weapons and armor was also in full swing.

Any Seleucian people could feel that the Seleucians might be about to have a big war, but they were not very afraid, because as one of the seven or eight million Seleucians, they felt that their dynasty was still very strong, and if the Seleucians went crazy, almost all the small countries around them could be destroyed, but they didn't bother to do so.

But what Antiochus III didn't expect was that two months had passed, four months had passed, and half a year had passed, and there was not even the slightest movement in the territory of the Mauryan Empire.

If Great Qin had sent troops from the territory of the Mauryan Empire, he would have already entered the vicinity of Seleuc for such a long time, but the scouts of Seleu did not notice this at all.

Even Antiochus III had some scouts who had penetrated into the territory of the Mauryan Empire, and the news they passed back showed that Great Qin had not increased his troops at all in the military camps around Hua's City during this time, and their soldiers had no intention of sending troops at all.

This kind of news made Antiochus III's heart that was already ready for a decisive battle cool down a little, although he didn't understand why Daqin didn't seem to get this news, but in his own judgment, if Daqin's generals really came to attack him with more than 100,000 cavalry, it was indeed a bit insufficient.

He has now gathered 200,000 elite cavalry, and there are tens of thousands in training, these people are enough to hold Seleu's own territory, although he has always been good at attacking other places, but when it comes to defense, Antiochus III is not afraid, the other party is also a cavalry, cavalry is not good at attacking cities, if he retreats in the city at a critical moment, he naturally believes that Daqin's cavalry should have nothing to do with him.

It is impossible for people's nerves to be tense all the time, and there has been no news for half a year, which has made Antiochus III's spirit relax a little bit, and he even thought that the secret agent of the ancient temple country who was not killed by him did not know where he died, and this news was not passed on at all.

What Antiochus III didn't know was that Han Xin and Yinggao were not bad at all in their analysis of his mental state, and there was indeed no movement in the Mauryan Dynasty in the past six months.

But this is not the case in the territory of Great Qin, the previous conscription, which was carried out under the condition of selecting the best among Han Xinyou, most of the young people of Great Qin who signed up were not selected, at that time they thought that there was no war in either Daqin itself or the Peacock Dynasty, and they would not become a member of the Great Qin warriors anymore.

But this situation lasted for less than a year, and a powerful news spread throughout the territory of Great Qin, and Great Qin was ready to take action against the Seleux around the Mauryan Empire, recruiting troops for this matter, and less than 200,000 would not stop!

Great Qin hasn't had any serious wars for a few days, wasn't the last time it was a war against the Mauryan Empire?

, The absence of war did not make the young people of Daqin afraid of war, but made them yearn for war even more, because Daqin would not lose too many men and horses in every war, but soldiers who became nobles because of their exploits sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Once someone has made war exploits in a distant place and has the title of Great Qin, then no matter where his home is, the officials of Great Qin will find his family and add servants and houses and land to his family.

Whenever there is such a family in a village, other families will cast very envious eyes, and some young people who are idle at home often think about whether they will be able to let their family get such treatment one day.

This conscription, and it was for the war, gave these young people the opportunity to realize their long-cherished wishes, so they joined it almost without any hesitation.

200,000, this number seems to be a bit much at this time, but in fact it is not much, during the Warring States period, just one Zhao State was able to send four or five hundred thousand soldiers in the Battle of Changping, which is enough to show that the proportion of people who join the army under certain conditions is still very high.

Half a year later, Han Xin not only gathered the 200,000 men and horses according to his own requirements, but also selected 100,000 of the 200,000 people, and the remaining 100,000 changed guards with the defenders of various counties and the Great Wall, and then, it was time to take them out of Great Qin.

This day is the time when Han Xin told Yinggao that he was ready for this war.

In fact, the vast majority of those newly recruited warriors will not directly participate in the war with the Seleuc, and after arriving in the Western Regions and the Mauryan Dynasty, they will experience another change of defense, and the 200,000 soldiers they finally get are almost all bloody.

"When are you going to leave for the Mauryan Empire?"

"After three days, you can leave, thinking that after half a year of precipitation, the monarch of Seleuc could not have imagined that we had been preparing for this battle at this time, so this is the right time."

"Okay, if you don't say this, I am about to remind you that you are already one move ahead of the Seleu monarch before you fight, but you must know that once you bring the army to Fahrenheit City, I am afraid that the Seleu monarch will know about it through the details he has planted in the Mauryan Dynasty, and he still has time to prepare, after all, the Mauryan Dynasty is vast, and if you want to raid, it will be impossible this time."

Obviously, Ying Gao said that he handed over everything to Han Xin, but he still didn't worry about it, now the territory of Daqin is happy and peaceful, and the place he can worry about is the surrounding area of the Peacock Dynasty.

Yinggao is an idle person, and even thought about whether he could follow Han Xin as well, but after thinking about it, he didn't follow such a big thing as attacking the Peacock Dynasty before, and now if he goes to a mere Seleuc, wouldn't it invisibly make the soldiers of Great Qin feel that the Seleu is very strong, giving them undue pressure? Thinking about it like this, Yinggao still had to dispel this idea.

"Your Excellency, Han Xin thinks that this may not be, so there is one thing, Han Xin still has to confirm with your lord."

"What's the matter?"

"This expedition to the Seleuc, it is bound to pass through the place controlled by the Huns, I don't know if the king has thought about it, this war, whether we need the help of the Huns, or let them watch us fight with the Seleucians in their own territory."

Han Xin's question made Yinggao silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "What do you think this matter should be?" ”

"Han Xin thinks that we still have to pull the Huns into the water, but we may not let them send troops to help, but in this war, the shadow of the Huns is indispensable."

"What do you mean by that?"
