Antiochus III is a monarch who fights the world on a horse, so there are not many twists and turns in his heart, when Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai and others entered his capital, he directly found his palace with Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, the core of which he said, for the arrival of this person who claimed to be the younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor, Antiochus III still had a very curious feeling.

Because the Seleucus and the Mauryan Dynasty are adjacent to each other, although their languages are quite different, they are generally still a language family, and they are not as colorful as the languages of the later generations more than 2,000 years later, so Zhao Cheng has improved a lot of the Mauryan Empire language during this time, and it is really very useful to get here.

"I don't know what happened when you came to my Seleuc?"

Unlike the patriarch of a high-ranking caste family in the Mauryan Dynasty before, Antiochus III was also the monarch of the Seleuc Dynasty, and those who dared to call themselves the emperor in front of such a strong neighbor of the Mauryan Dynasty would naturally not come up and start to be respectful to a younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor, after all, now that the Liang Zi of Seleuk and Great Qin has been settled, before they understand their purpose here, Antiochus III will definitely not give them a good face.

Although it is the same two words, but this is different from the previous city in the Mauryan Dynasty, that flicker is a simple flicker, and this time, if there is no dry goods, not only will people not bargain with you, but will leave you here forever.

Seeing the posture of Antiochus III, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai glanced at each other, with a solemn look on their faces, and at a glance, Antiochus III was not a guy who was easy to fool, so that the little dry goods in their hearts had to be said.

"I, the prince of Great Qin, are here to discuss with the monarch of Seleucus and jointly defeat the Great Qin army on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty."

"Defeat Great Qin's army? You are the prince of Great Qin, and you should be my enemy, why do you want to be the enemy of Great Qin with me, I am afraid that you will have to explain this matter well. ”

Antiochus III was not a fool, he knew that since the young man in front of him had arrived in Seleu alone with his family, he should not use his identity to deceive, but the younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor, why did he have to go against the current Emperor of Great Qin, it was something he had to understand.

"Today's emperor of Great Qin is mediocre, not only intending to persecute the prince, but also using military force, sending the cavalry of Great Qin to the territory of this distant Peacock Dynasty, causing the people in Great Qin to complain, the prince can't stand such a situation, and has no power in the hands of Great Qin, so he can only go to this distant Peacock Dynasty alone to seek to use the Peacock Dynasty as a breakthrough and control the country of Great Qin in his own hands."

As soon as Antiochus III heard this, he basically understood that as an aspiring monarch, he really wouldn't easily believe the kind of foolish words that a few of them said, the only thing he was sure of was that the so-called prince of Great Qin in front of him should have no place for him in the country of Great Qin, so he went to the Mauryan Dynasty to try his luck.

After figuring this out, the question left for Antiochus III is actually very simple, that is, whether the identity of this prince of Great Qin has any effect on him, and if so, how should he use this.

"What can you bring to me Seleucus this time?"

Sure enough, as Hu Hai expected before, no matter what kind of prince you are under Antiochus III, this kind of identity is not attractive to people at all, what people want to know is nothing more than what you, the prince, want to do here, what you can give others, and what you want to get from others.

Of course, they had prepared for such a question before they came, but they didn't expect Antiochus III to be such a straightforward person, and they didn't say anything when they came up, and they didn't even raise any doubts about Hu Hai's identity, they just wanted to see what the two of them could bring.

"Seleuc's current strength is definitely inferior to the strength of Great Qin and Xiongnu in the Mauryan Empire, so after Daqin and Xiongnu completely control the territory of the Mauryan Empire, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not continue to conquer, and once the expedition continues, the primary target is Seleuc, who has clashed with Daqin's cavalry before, and the king should have thought of this a long time ago, otherwise, there would not be so many garrisons on the border between Seleu and the Mauryan Empire."

Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng paused and looked up at Antiochus III, he had to observe it to see if Antiochus III really approved of this matter as they imagined.

"Yes, my Seleu and Da Qin are almost on the same footing, and this battle will be a matter of time, but you are a prince who runs out alone, in addition to allowing Da Qin to start a war with my Seleu earlier, can it have a peaceful effect?"

Antiochus III's words have been quite true, indeed, if he really cooperates with Seleucus when he arrives at Seleucus, once the emperor of Great Qin knows the news, he will definitely send troops to attack Antiochus III directly.

Although Zhao Cheng said other things, Antiochus III was still very skeptical, but being able to cross such a long distance to attack the Peacock Dynasty was enough to show that the emperor of Great Qin must really be a reckless guy.

"Your Excellency doesn't know, after I waited for the Peacock Dynasty, I didn't come to Seleuc directly, but first went to the cities around the southern sea of the Mauryan Dynasty, and took advantage of the plague spreading in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty this time to slow down the control of the Great Qin cavalry over the cities in the depths of the Peacock Dynasty, and we have completed a big thing!"

"If anything has been accomplished, if it is useful to Seleus, you should speak quickly, and do not waste time."

Obviously, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai can see that the Seleucid monarchs who sell Guanzi don't eat it, and in such a situation, then making a fool of themselves can only make the family think they are liars more and more, so they can only tell their plan first, and as for the purpose, let's talk about it.

"We have gathered and subdued a lot of high-ranking castes who don't want to survive on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty because they are dissatisfied with the laws of Great Qin, and these people plus the mercenaries who will be canceled immediately on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty already have tens of thousands, not only that, because these people are all high-ranking castes of the Peacock Dynasty before, and the resources and wealth they carry in their hands are definitely not a small amount."

If it is said that what was said before is a temptation, this sentence is really pure dry goods, Antiochus III heard this, and there was indeed a lot of light in his eyes, not to mention anything else, how many resources the high castes of the Mauryan Dynasty had in their hands, if they really gathered tens of thousands of people, they carried at least one-tenth of the wealth of the previous Peacock Dynasty in their hands.

"Where are they now?"

"Before we came, we arranged them in a city where the plague was the worst in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty before, and all this was done in secret, but these people can't stay there for too long, once the plague is over, it will be difficult to get out of that city."

"You mean that now the tens of thousands of high-ranking castes and mercenaries of the Mauryan Empire are in your hands?"

"Not bad! It's all in our hands. ”

"Do you want to take these people to my Seleucid territory to take refuge?" Hearing this, Antiochus III was naturally able to guess what they meant.

"It's said that it's dodging, but it's not enough, we just want to use these resources to talk about cooperation with the king, after all, if we can't help each other, it won't take two or three years, Seleuc will cease to exist, and our prince will also be killed by his brother, the strength of Great Qin, we still understand, presumably the king has already understood, the strongest force of Great Qin is far from being sent to the Peacock Dynasty."

Zhao Cheng's prediction, in fact, Antiochus III had already predicted in his heart several times before, and he really thought that if it was another three years at most, the Peacock Dynasty would be completely in the hands of Great Qin.

At that time, his Seleucus was in danger, and these days, Antiochus III has been worried about this matter, it can be said that Zhao Cheng's remarks hit the pain point of Antiochus III.

"But even if you add in the resources of your tens of thousands of people, what can you do?"

"Don't forget, the Great Qin occupied the Mauryan Empire not entirely relying on its own troops, they also took advantage of the advantage of the Huns in cavalry, and at the same time transferred the Huns in the north of Great Qin to the Mauryan Empire, which greatly reduced the threat of Great Qin itself. Now on the other side of the Seleucid border, aren't the cavalry of the Huns stationed? In other words, the king's neighbor was not the Great Qin, but the Xiongnu. ”

"Then the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Great Qin cooperated sincerely on the territory of the Mauryan Empire, and they were like bamboos along the way, and there were no differences in the distribution of the territory of the Mauryan Empire, how can we take advantage of it?"

When Zhao Cheng talked about the Xiongnu, Antiochus III could still think of what he meant, which was nothing more than dividing Daqin and Xiongnu, so that the contradictions of Daqin would be transferred first, and then they would profit from it, but Antiochus III thought left and right, and didn't understand how to divide the Xiongnu of Daqin, in his eyes, people are as good as wearing a pair of pants.

"There are no disagreements at the moment, but I can create disagreements for them, can't we? If our prince goes to a place adjacent to the Xiongnu, and then lets the Great Qin people know at the right time, won't this disagreement come naturally? ”

Zhao Cheng first pointed to Hu Hai, who was indifferent to him, and then smiled, although that look was obscene, but this was very useful in the ears of Antiochus III.

"Do you mean that this prince of yours can create a contradiction between the Great Qin and the Xiongnu?"

Although I probably understood what Zhao Cheng's words of the Peacock Dynasty meant, but for such a big event, Antiochus III's eyes definitely couldn't tolerate sand.

"Yes, the prince fled from Daqin, and the whole country of Daqin is searching, but the emperor of Daqin never imagined that I would go to the land of the Peacock Dynasty after nine deaths, if at the right time and in the right place, let the emperor of Daqin know that the prince is here, with our understanding of the Emperor of Daqin, it is extremely easy to drag the Huns into the water."

Antiochus III thought about Zhao Cheng's point of view repeatedly, and finally nodded and asked with some hesitation: "Then I don't know what role my Seleu can play in this process, and what can we do that can be helpful to you?" ”

What Zhao Cheng said is indeed out of the blue, but the most critical question is what he needs Antiochus III to do, there is no free lunch in the world, you get something at the same time, you have to give something else, Antiochus III knows this matter very well, so at this point, it depends on whether what they ask him to pay is what he thinks is appropriate.

"I have waited here to borrow something from the king, and with such a thing, we and Seleuc will be fully rewarded in the near future."

"It doesn't hurt to be straight."

"What we want is that the king will lend us the city on the border between the Seleucians and the Mauryan Empire and a small piece of land around it for temporary use, and after we get that piece of land, we will naturally do the task of guarding the invasion of the Hun cavalry, and the king can use the Seleucian cavalry in other places, not only that, but when the property and resources of those high-ranking castes of the Mauryan Dynasty are transported here, we will keep what is needed for maintenance, and give most of the rest to the king, in addition, After we successfully aroused the war between the Xiongnu and the Great Qin, we will start to attack the Mauryan Empire from there, and when the recovered city will always have half of the Seleuc, these are the greatest sincerity we can come up with, if the king agrees, we can sign an alliance to prove it! ”

Seeing that Antiochus III was such a temper, Zhao Cheng did not sell Guanzi again, but told all his plans in one go, to put it bluntly, it was to use the place of Seleucus to sow discord between Daqin and the Xiongnu, Hu Hai suddenly appeared in the place adjacent to the Xiongnu, and I don't know how long it has been, if this matter is known by Yinggao, it is indeed the first time to think of what kind of relationship between the Xiongnu and Huhai in the territory of the Mauryan Empire, which Antiochus III knows.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Cheng sat there and looked at Antiochus III, waiting for his answer.

"I'm going to discuss this with my ministers, and I'll have to wait here."
