Chapter 606: The Counterattack Is Coming (First Update)
In the market of Xianyang City, Antiochus III hired a merchant from the Mauryan Dynasty with a lot of money, and when asked, this guy's hometown happened to be on the border with Seleuc, and he knew Seleuc very well.
The merchants of the Peacock Dynasty came to Daqin through the harsh environment of the Western Regions, and needless to say anything else, they came to make money.
According to the conditions prescribed to him by Antiochus III, he would teach him the language of Daqin at Antiochus's home until Antiochus III had almost learned, and this person saw that Antiochus III had a generous hand, and agreed to his request at that time, and the reason why Antiochus III chose this person was also after a long period of observation, he found that this person was very greedy for money, and the weakness of people who were greedy for money was also very obvious, that is, money, for money to let them do something a little out of bounds, they must also be willing to do it.
Antiochus III worked very hard after hiring such a person, and almost every day he learned the language of Daqin in his own mansion, of course, the conversation between that person and him will emerge a lot of language from the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleuc, because Antiochus III is almost zero-based, and he will not know the language of Daqin if you tell him directly.
In this case, Yinggao was relieved that day in the court of Great Qin, so that Antiochus III could occasionally communicate with his teacher in their own language when learning the Great Qin language, otherwise, it would be a violation of Qin law to speak other languages openly in Great Qin.
The affairs of Antiochus III are not listed for the time being, and everything is going smoothly between Han Xin and Meng Tian in Seleucus, but there is no news of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
Because the two of them and the sergeants they brought with them only had a general understanding of the forces in this land, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find which city was controlled by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
After taking advantage of two or three months, the two of them almost checked all the forces around them, and found that there was not even a leader who was from Daqin, and their thoughts during this period were also very clear, if it was really a city controlled by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, because they were from Daqin, it would definitely be very conspicuous, so it would not be difficult to find, but unfortunately, this conspicuous feature did not make them successful.
Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng stood in front of the stage with a puppet, and naturally successfully deceived Han Xin and Meng Tian, and the reason for this was only because the two of them did not know much about the intricacies of the forces and the relationship between the forces.
But there are really a number of people who will pay attention to every force that has risen or has the possibility of rising, and the two cities controlled by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng have undoubtedly been noticed because of the emergence of the past one or two years.
The news reached the ears of one person, and that person was the monarch of the mysterious dynasty who had wanted to cause a little trouble for Han Xin and Meng Tian before.
"Before, I just used the back hand left by the Seleu monarch before leaving, I really always felt that something was missing, which could only create a little trouble for the Great Qin people who occupied the Seleuc, and it couldn't really hurt them, but now it's different, if the actual controller of this force is really the younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor, and it is a younger brother who wants to overthrow him, our affairs will be much easier!"
"What does the king mean...... We work with the younger brother of the emperor of Great Qin? ”
"He is not qualified to mention the word cooperation to us, we are just giving him something, but we still have to decide what he does with the little thing we give him."
"But this guy is a brother to the emperor of Great Qin after all, in case he submits to Great Qin again......"
"You have to remember that the brothers born in the people's homes are the real brothers, and the brothers born in the emperor's family are just some enemies of life and death! Since this person has been persecuted to such an extent by Great Qin, I conclude that he and the emperor of Great Qin can only survive one person in the end, and the reason used by Great Qin to attack Seleu is him, and now that Seleu has been defeated, he has not been discovered, and the generals of Great Qin must be looking for him. ”
The official listened to the words analyzed by his lord, and nodded again and again there, and then asked a little stunned: "Then the small force we looked for before still needs to do something against Seleuc?" ”
"Don't worry about it, just let them make a fuss as they like, if we don't make a little trouble for the generals of Great Qin, once they get in touch with the younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor before us, this matter will be completely solved by ourselves!"
Although Yinggao still doesn't know what happened here, but this is indeed the situation that Yinggao is most afraid of in his heart, the reason why he has been sparing no effort to search for the location of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng is because once Hu Hai's identity is known by people with real strength, they will definitely want to use Hu Hai's identity to do something to Daqin, in that way, Hu Hai will become a big killer of Daqin, which is obviously the scene that Yinggao is most unwilling to see.
But if you don't want to see it, you don't want to see it, and sometimes, the more you don't want to see it, the more it will appear in your life.
On this day, it had long been learned that Han Xin and Meng Tian did not choose to retreat with their troops after capturing Seleuc, and let Daqin send officials to govern Seleuc, but stayed in the territory of Seleuc, and from time to time sent sergeants to the surrounding area to search for Hu Hai, who greeted a mysterious messenger.
There are still many differences between the appearance of this envoy and the people around the Peacock Dynasty, but as soon as he entered the city, he directly pointed out that this city was controlled by Hu Hai, the younger brother of Emperor Daqin, which made Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng scared half to death.
But the envoy went on to say that they came to talk about cooperation with Hu Hai, and if the cooperation was successful, the entire territory of Seleu would be Hu Hai's in the short term, and if it was in the long run, the entire Mauryan Dynasty and Great Qin might be Hu Hai's.
Hu Hai has been baptized for such a long time, and his knowledge can be regarded as increasing day by day, as soon as he heard the tone of this messenger, he knew that this guy must be from a place where the ability of Daqin is equivalent or even more powerful than Daqin, otherwise, they would not know the existence of Daqin but still have such an attitude, which made Hu Hai very excited, because he had escaped from Daqin for so many years, what he needed was such an opportunity.
The envoy stayed in Hu Hai's city for a short time, and there was not much time to help Hu Hai arrange how to deal with Great Qin, and most of the time was spent on understanding what kind of country Great Qin was.
Knowing Daqin almost, the envoy left on his own, and Hu Hai was very excited, he had been hiding in Tibet all these years, but he had never given up, because he knew that as long as he lived, one day his identity would shine, and today, this is this time.
"Childe, that person didn't even say what dynasty he came from, is his words really credible?"
After the messenger left, Zhao Cheng expressed his doubts about the identity of this person, after all, that guy let them wait for news after dancing Xuanxuan for a while, and left by himself.
"No, Han Xin and Meng Tian of Great Qin didn't know where we were after spending so much effort, but let them know quietly, this is definitely not something that a deceiver can do, if this person is a liar, if he informs Han Xin and Meng Tian of our news here, he doesn't know how much benefit he can get from Daqin, but he didn't do it, it is enough to show that they don't care about Daqin's benefits, but how to make Daqin uncomfortable."
"But even if they can really provide us with tens of thousands of horses, it will be absolutely difficult for us to resist Han Xin and Meng Tian's 300,000 army, don't they want us to consume Great Qin's troops first, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
"So far, we have no way out, if we can't cooperate with them again, I'm afraid that sooner or later the Great Qin people will find a place to stay, success or not, it's all up to us how to operate, the army they give us, left and right are not with us, it will be more unscrupulous to use, but it is also a good thing."
As far as Hu Hai's ability to think very openly no matter what kind of situation he faces, Zhao Chengna is really quite admired, but after thinking about it, he feels that what Hu Hai said is also quite reasonable.
Moreover, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng knew that according to the envoy, after a while, some situations would occur in the territory of Seleuc, so Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng should pay attention to it, and if those situations happened, they could send troops.
In the eyes of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, this should not be a lie, after all, people want to send them troops first, if the troops are all there by then, but there is no wind and grass on the territory of Seleuc, then these troops are not lost in vain?
They believed that if the other party was really a force stronger than Great Qin, they would not have done such a thing.
This wait is still very long, so Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng have been preparing their manpower, they know that the reason why the mysterious dynasty is willing to help them is only because of his special identity, Hu Hai knows very well that if he really thinks that this mysterious dynasty is his savior, he will only become the puppet of the mysterious dynasty in the end, and die together after they kill Daqin.
In Hu Hai's life, he had almost become a puppet once, and he would never allow such a situation to happen to him again. All he thought about in his head was to take advantage of the sergeants provided by the other party, and as for really letting himself manage the affairs after Seleuc, of course Hu Hai had his own plans in his heart.
Han Xin and Meng Tian received another letter from Yinggao, but instead of waiting for instructions for them to return to the Mauryan Empire or the Seleuc, they were told to continue to stay here with an army of 300,000.
"The general thinks, what does the king mean by this, when I set out from Xianyang City before, the king once said that once I captured Seleucus, I can return, why do you let the two of you again, even if you find the whereabouts of Hu Hai, you don't need to say that the two of us and the army of 300,000 are all placed here, right?"
For this matter, Han Xin is obviously a little incomprehensible, in fact, he has already realized something in his heart, and now he is saying this, he is just looking at Meng Tian's tone, after all, there are some things that Yinggao did not explicitly say in the letter, Han Xin didn't know if this was another test for Yinggao for them.
"Having said that, but if the king does this, then there must be his reason, especially since we have sent Antiochus III back to Xianyang City before, it is likely that the king has seen some problems from this person, so let's continue to wait here!"
Meng Tian's words coincided with Han Xin's thoughts in his heart before, so he no longer concealed the thoughts in his heart, and said directly: "In my opinion, Seleu should not be peaceful during this time, we should pay attention to the movements in Seleu while looking for Hu Hai, so as not to capsize in this gutter!" ”
The emperor gave an order, and the two of them thought about going back from time to time, strengthening the guards in Seleuc, and using more manpower to find Huhai's location.
At the same time, in Xianyang City, Antiochus III has been learning the Great Qin language for nearly two months, with Antiochus III's mind, these two months have allowed him to roughly master how to communicate with the Great Qin people, and the merchant he hired from the Mauryan Dynasty is also time to leave, for these two months, this person has been living in Antiochus III's mansion in Daqin, almost an inch.
"Your Majesty, that Peacock merchant in Antiochus III's Mansion should be leaving in the next two days." Of course, their actions will not be hidden from Yinggao's eyes, Cao Shen has basically not done anything else in the past two months, just staring at the actions of these two people.
"Have they been out of the ordinary these days?"
"It doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, but they often speak in a Seleucian language we don't understand, and if Antiochus III really had some bad words, we don't know!" Cao Shen was also very helpless about the language he didn't understand, which was why Yinggao didn't allow people in Daqin to speak other languages publicly.
