After completely driving the Seleucid cavalry out of the territory of the Mauryan Empire, Meng Tian did not rush to bring the army back to Hua's city, but temporarily garrisoned the city closest to the Seleucians.

On the one hand, the Great Qin soldiers, who had already been exhausted from the repeated battles, rested for a while, and on the other hand, they sent scouts and ordered them to reconnoiter this area in the northwest of the Peacock Empire, which Great Qin did not know very well before.

"General, why don't we go back to Fahrenheit? Since this Seleucid Dynasty has been repelled once by the cavalry of our Great Qin, I don't think they will send troops to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty for the second time. ”

Because it borders several dynasties, including Seleuc, and the frequent wars during this time, the cities on these borders are all lifeless, and in Peng Yue's opinion, there is really no need to waste time here.

"Do you know why the Seleucid Dynasty dared to send 100,000 troops to attack the land of the Mauryan Empire, and with 100,000 cavalry, it has been attacking the territory of the Mauryan Empire?"

"Oh? That's naturally because Seleu doesn't know my Great Qin, and I don't know what kind of existence my Great Qin and the Huns' cavalry is! But now, we have already let them know the power of my Great Qin and the Xiongnu! Thinking about it, their monarch was also very remorseful for their previous actions. ”

"Regret is not enough, although the language barrier, but the purpose of my visit is to let these forces like the Seleucid Dynasty know that my Great Qin is an existence that they cannot touch, and the monarch has his own ambitions in his heart, and he will never stop at a small Peacock Dynasty, so since I am here, I will lay the foundation on the border of the Mauryan Empire, and leave room for the orders that the monarch may give in the future, rather than just ensuring that other forces dare not attack the Peacock Dynasty."

"Oh? What the general means is that once the king firmly controls the Mauryan Dynasty in the hands of my Great Qin, even this Seleucid Dynasty will ......"

Peng Yue was halfway through speaking, glanced at Long He, who was also showing a somewhat shocked look next to him, and did not continue.

"Since my Great Qin has formed an alliance with the Xiongnu, it doesn't hurt to inform the Long and General about these things, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Xiang Yu must know the king's plan better than me in his heart, if the Xiongnu can always follow my Great Qin, in the end, there may only be two remaining forces in the world......"

Meng Tian was directly appointed by Ying Gao, and he was one of the best generals in Great Qin, so before he came here, Ying Gao, as the Emperor of Great Qin, must have revealed some details of Great Qin to him, plus Meng Tian adopted such a radical strategy as soon as he arrived in Great Qin, and directly defeated the Seleuk cavalry, who was not bad, back to their dynasty, what he said was still very credible in Long Ji's opinion.

"Just entrust me with 50,000 Hun cavalry, I naturally have some power to act cheaply here, if the general is of any use for my Hun cavalry, but it doesn't matter."

Although Long Ji sometimes has a little impulse to fight, but to be able to become the first person under Xiang Yu's command, his mind is still not bad, he vaguely heard some implicit meaning from Meng Tian's words, so he immediately assured Meng Tian.

Seeing Long He so upright, Meng Tian's originally serious face gradually relaxed, when he came before, Yinggao did secretly propose some things to him, and it was something that only the two of them knew, which naturally also involved some matters of the division of interests between Daqin and the Xiongnu.

"According to the agreement between the king and the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the territory bordering the Seleuc Dynasty and the part west of this territory belong to the Xiongnu, so the city we are shrinking in now should belong to the Xiongnu, and my next plan naturally needs the opinion of the dragon general."

"The general said that it doesn't matter, the current Peacock Dynasty, although my Xiongnu and Great Qin have been divided, but they have not really taken over these lands. Under such circumstances, Shan Yu is not here, so it is natural that I need to unite sincerely with the general. ”

With the previous efforts of Meng Tian and the Great Qin cavalry under his leadership, Long He was naturally very supportive of Meng Tian's proposal.

"Although this city is not large, it is the closest city to Seleuc, and the strength of Seleu should be the strongest among the forces near the Mauryan Empire, if the Seleucid Dynasty can be deterred, let them break the idea of capturing the city on the land of the Mauryan Empire, let alone other forces."

The meaning of Meng Tian's words is already very obvious, that is, to station troops in this city, in this case, the troops stationed must be mainly based on the cavalry of Great Qin, so Meng Tian's words appeared.

It is one thing to get the support of Long Ji, if Meng Tian directly goes forward and stationed the cavalry of Great Qin here, it will be another matter, and when Xiang Yu arrives at the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, it may be able to cause some kind of misunderstanding, which is also one thing that Yinggao repeatedly emphasized to Meng Tian before leaving.

With Long Ji's approval, Meng Tian directly began to say how he wanted to operate the garrison when it expired.

This time to the Peacock Dynasty, Meng Tian brought 100,000 troops, originally put all the 100,000 troops around Hua's City to station, it would be a great waste of troops, so Meng Tian combined the results of this period of reconnaissance, and prepared to garrison 60,000 troops in this city and a larger city not far from this city.

At the same time, building the Great Qin's fortifications on the periphery of the city closest to the Seleucid Dynasty would not build the Great Wall as in Shangjun, but it would also let the Seleuks know that they would never have the same easy chance of taking the city as before.

While building the fortifications, the official translators of Great Qin brought this time will also actively communicate with the people of the Peacock Empire who are still sticking to these two cities, expressing to them Great Qin's determination to take root in the Peacock Empire, making them realize that they have become the subjects of Great Qin, so as to give the garrison of Great Qin a lot of convenient conditions.

In fact, these are basically the meaning of Meng Tian before he came here, and some Meng Tian didn't agree with it at first.

Because Meng Tian is a general, in his heart, you don't have to deal with such an opponent at all, there are no other enemies on the territory of the Great Qin, the Xiongnu and the Mauryan Dynasty, you can mobilize an army of 200,000 and go directly to the Seleucian, and by the way, you will destroy them and it will be over.

But such a statement was resolutely opposed by Yinggao when he was in Xianyang City, and Yinggao just said in a serious tone You don't know what the other side of the Seleucid Dynasty is, if you continue to fight like this, once you are defeated, it will be the day when the evil wolf will be introduced into Daqin.

What Ying Gao said didn't seem like a lie at all, so Meng Tian naturally couldn't go against Ying Gao's request, and after driving the Seleuc cavalry out of the Mauryan Dynasty, he didn't put forward any proposal to attack, but honestly organized a guard force on the border, so as to give Seleu the illusion that Great Qin only wanted the Mauryan Dynasty, and didn't want places other than the Mauryan Dynasty.

But the delusion is not good, and when the main general of the Seleucus expedition returned to the Seleucid capital with the remaining four lieutenants and the generals of fifty or sixty thousand soldiers, what awaited them was the wrath of Antiochus III.

The reason why Antiochus III called himself the Great is because in the large and small battles that he personally went out to this time from his accession to the throne, although there were also failures, but there were almost no such complete defeats, and there were more victories and fewer defeats, and in the face of the current war, his own dazzling can only further set off the incompetence of the generals who went out this time.

"Your Majesty, this time I failed, because my command was unfavorable, and I asked you to punish me!"

This main general is still quite responsible, and for him, this battle is also a rare defeat in recent years, so as soon as he sees his monarch, he naturally has nothing to say, admit his mistake first.

"What kind of existence is that alien race, so that you can be defeated so badly?"

Angry to angry, what kind of ability his subordinates have, Antiochus III still knows in his heart, what kind of person is the enemy, and he can let a few of his capable generals and 100,000 elite cavalry return home, which makes him extremely curious.

"In my opinion, that alien race is definitely not the small dynasty attached to the surrounding of the Peacock Dynasty that we knew before, they only stationed 100,000 horses around Hua's City before and did not occupy other cities because of other reasons, not a lack of troops, when I waited for the Fifth Route Army to march east first, they showed their true strength!"

So, with a sad face, the general wept and wiped out his team from the beginning of the attack and was attacked all the way, and then the enemy suddenly increased, so much that the cavalry alone exceeded 100,000, and took advantage of his underestimation of the enemy to drive himself back to the Seleucid Dynasty in a battle, and told his monarch all the process.

After listening to his words, Antiochus III was also a little silent, because he was good at war, especially good at attacking, he was deducing from the beginning, how would he deal with it if he went this time.

But in the end, once the strategy of the Great Qin general he discovered was implemented, under the condition that his side did not know the exact strength of the other party, it might not be much better if he replaced himself.

In such a passive situation, the main general he sent out had almost reduced the losses in this battle to a minimum. If you blam, it's really a bit impersonal.

"Such a strong enemy, since you dare to send troops to defeat the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty and take down the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty, it is natural that you have plans for the large territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, and I have not thought about it if you allow you to send troops rashly this time, since you have already had a confrontation with the enemy army, I will monitor them on the border to see what kind of plans they have on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, and will it affect me Seleuc?"

Antiochus III because of his predecessors lost a large area of territory in the east of the empire, so the sense of distress is still very strong, he saw that the Great Qin soldiers are many generals and not good, the first thing that comes to mind is whether they will take down the Mauryan Dynasty and then reorganize the soldiers and horses to take down their dynasty and some small forces around it, if that is the case, even if he feels that he has developed the Seleucid Dynasty quite well, but it is still very dangerous, the previous battle has been able to explain a lot of problems.

Seeing that the monarch who was not very good-tempered did not punish himself, the lord was still very grateful, and after thanking Antiochus III, he took a team of men and horses to the border of the Seleucus and the Mauryan Empire.

So far, Meng Tian's trip to the Western Regions has been very smooth, of course, he didn't regard this matter as a big credit, after arranging the guarding of the city on the Seleu border, Meng Tian left 60,000 horses and his two lieutenants in those two cities, and he still returned to Hua's City with Peng Yue and Longhei.

He wants to study the structure of the Mauryan Dynasty and what potential enemies are around it, and at the same time wait for Yinggao's next instructions, he always feels that it is too troublesome for him to do internal affairs, which is done by a guy like Xiao He, what he can do is when Yinggao gives an order, take Daqin's iron cavalry to trample through every place he can see.

Meng Tian knew that this was the whole meaning of his remaining time, the first half of his life was almost focused on guarding the stability of Great Qin, and in the second half of his life, he wanted to change his identity, from the strongest shield to the sharpest spear.

Meng Tian's journey was smooth, but some people were not so smooth, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng and the others took the already quite accurate sea chart and sailed nearly two-thirds of the distance, just when they thought that they had adapted to the navigation on the sea, and would arrive at the boundary of the Mauryan Dynasty very quickly to create a new world, a huge trouble slowly approached them.

Because the ship they built was much smaller than the cabin of the warship on the right track, and most of the space in the inner compartment was allocated to Zhao Cheng, Hu Hai and Zhao Hu, so some sailors and the South Vietnamese warriors they recruited could only stay crowded on the deck.

As a result, the changeable climate at sea has caused these people to have some situations that they did not expect before.
