Chapter 551: Rift (Second Update)

In Yinggao's opinion, it is very good that Lu Jia can deal with the plague like this this time, first of all, the occurrence of this plague is something that none of them expected, and Lu Jia found it in a very timely manner, and after discovering it, he not only informed Yinggao of the situation as soon as possible, but he did not wait for death in Hua's City, but risked himself to be infected to the front line, and finally took people all the way to the beach of the Peacock Dynasty to completely solve the problem.

Lu Jia's series of operations, Yinggao also greatly appreciated it in his letters. Not to mention anything else, even his strength that is not afraid of death is also worthy of Yinggao's praise, after all, the bubonic plague will definitely not spread to the Western Regions, Yinggao can also breathe a sigh of relief, he can't let the hero shed blood and tears, right?

Indeed, Lu Jia handled this matter quite well, if it weren't for Lu Jia, the Peacock Dynasty would have been wasted by estimating the entire wave.

But Yinggao didn't know, and what Lu Jia didn't take care of was that they still ignored something in a hurry about this matter.

In the northwest of the Peacock Dynasty, Xiang Yu has set a city with the largest scale and not very far from Hua's City as the core city of the Xiongnu in the Peacock Dynasty, although it is not said that this is the second Xiongnu royal court, but people with a discerning eye know that it is a matter of time before the capital is moved.

During this time, Xiang Yu had just been properly settled here, and seeing that the Seleucid Dynasty bordering the territory under his jurisdiction had not moved at all, it should have been completely subdued, Xiang Yu hurriedly took Yu Ji and Yu Ziqi and others who were temporarily left in the Western Regions by him here.

Xiang Yu and Yu Ji are both from the Central Plains, whether from the perspective of climate or lifestyle, it is better to live in such a city than to live in the big tent of the Xiongnu.

Xiang Yu is also a human being, and he also wants to live in a way that he feels more comfortable with, which is why he chose to mobilize most of the main elite of the Xiongnu to the Peacock Dynasty.

But Yu Ji had just arrived in the Peacock Dynasty for less than a month, and when the two were enjoying a rare reunion, Xiang Yu suddenly received a message, which made his heart tremble a few times.

What Xiang Yu received was the news that the epidemic was spreading in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty. And when he received this news, the Huns had already found out that Lu Jia had stopped continuing to occupy the city of the Mauryan Empire, and obviously knew about it.

"That Lu Jia was sent by the emperor of Great Qin to take full charge of the affairs of the Peacock Dynasty, and now he has such a big matter and does not inform me about the Huns, which shows that this guy is wary of my Huns."

Such a big thing, although it has not yet been introduced to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu, but once it comes, it is not certain how many people will die.

The hot-tempered Long He was a little angry at the time, although he still felt good with Meng Tian, Peng Yue and others in the war before, but Meng Tian After all, what they controlled was just the soldiers of Great Qin, and the real power was still in the hands of Lu Jia.

Although Xiang Yu only waved his hand to suppress Long Ji's words at that time, the decision he made next made several relatives under his command begin to ponder.

According to Xiang Yu's instructions, since Daqin did not tell the Xiongnu about this matter, then the Xiongnu naturally did not need to pay attention to Daqin's actions in resisting this epidemic, they only needed to send Xiongnu healers to strictly guard against the junction of Xiongnu and Daqin.

This kind of approach, that is, a person sweeping the snow in front of the door, Xiang Yu is obviously not ready to take care of the predicament encountered by his neighbor Daqin.

Although he signed an alliance with Daqin, it was only promoted by Xiang Yu, and the Huns have never had a great impression of Daqin, so this time Xiang Yu did not help, not only did not cause any criticism within the Huns, but was secretly praised by many Hun tribal leaders.

That night, Xiang Yu, who lived in the original city lord's mansion in this city, sat in the study that had been arranged according to his habits when he was in Jiangdong, and he was not sleepy for a long time, obviously, he had a lot of things in his heart.

"Shan Yu is still worried about this epidemic epidemic in the Mauryan Empire?"

At this time, behind Xiang Yu, Yu Ji in a long white dress came, looking at her makeup and clothes, she was obviously ready to go to bed, but she didn't want to stay alone in the empty room, so let's see what Xiang Yu was doing.

Xiang Yu looked back at Yu Ji's concerned face, took it into his arms, and then sighed slightly, and said: "If this epidemic can spread in such a huge territory as the Peacock Dynasty, it must be a big deal, if the Great Qin people can't eliminate this epidemic, it will be a matter of time before it is introduced to my Xiongnu territory." ”

"But didn't the scout come back and report that this time the epidemic can rarely spread to the Qin and Xiongnu, and only those who originally lived in the Mauryan Dynasty are very susceptible to it?"

"Having said that, but these people of the Peacock Dynasty are too important to me the Huns, the Huns are not good at farming, and only by relying on the land cultivated by these Mauryan people can we make the warehouses on this land rich and fruitful. For this reason, I have dispelled the idea that those Xiongnu tribes will levy these people of the Mauryan Dynasty as slaves, which really makes many Xiongnu tribes feel a little dissatisfied with me, so this time the epidemic matter, it is just an expedient measure to properly transfer their emotions to the Great Qin people. ”

Xiang Yu said this, in fact, Yu Ji understood, I saw that she seemed to have something to say to Xiang Yu, but after opening her mouth, what she said was to let Xiang Yu rest earlier, not because these epidemics that had not yet spread to the territory where they were located affected her body.

Xiang Yu has always cherished Yu Ji's empathy, so when Yu Ji persuaded her, Xiang Yu did not hesitate, temporarily put aside all the bad things in his heart, and then picked up Yu Ji and walked to their bedroom as if there was nothing.

But at this time, Xiang Yu didn't realize that his mentality, who had obtained one-third of the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, had changed a little compared to before, and for Daqin, he thought that his role with the Xiongnu had undergone some changes, but obviously neither Lu Jia nor Ying Gao realized this problem.

If the paper covenant between Great Qin and the Xiongnu was like a strong city wall during the entire attack on the Mauryan Empire, then by this time, there was obviously a crack on this city wall, and whether this crack would affect the relationship between Great Qin and the Xiongnu would depend on the future.

During this critical period of controlling the Mauryan Empire, Great Qin was busy eliminating epidemics, the Xiongnu were busy controlling the cities of the Mauryan Empire and letting the people of the Mauryan Empire master their language, and Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were doing the same thing as the Huns at this time.

Zhao Hu did things, that has always been able to make Zhao Cheng very satisfied, this time, although Zhao Hu went for three days to come back, and did not come back in a few days as he said before, but the people he brought back still made Zhao Cheng very satisfied.

The women in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty have very dark complexions, even darker than the women of South Vietnam, but in Zhao Cheng's opinion, the women here don't know how much stronger than the women of South Vietnam.

The women of South Vietnam are very thin, even compared with the women of Daqin, they are much thinner, but the women of the Peacock Dynasty are indeed a lot taller, and they have rich breasts and fat buttocks, which naturally has a unique charm.

What Zhao Hu brought back this time was such a woman, and at least in terms of the aesthetics of the Great Qin people, this woman must be much stronger than the appearance of the women they saw when they walked by before.

According to Zhao Hu, he was afraid that the women in the ordinary villages would not know a lot about the territory of the Mauryan Empire, and they might be very stupid, so he took some more roads and arrived in a city where no epidemic was found, and caught such a woman in a high-ranking family in the city.

Because of the rush of time, Zhao Hu picked a younger one and grabbed one better, and he didn't understand whether this woman was someone's daughter or a wife, anyway, he also knew that asking this woman was nothing more than letting them learn the language, and the other was to relieve Zhao Hu's boredom, so these details were not important.

Facts have proved that the role played by this woman is extremely huge, in the process of studying the language of the Peacock Dynasty with Zhao Cheng day and night, Zhao Cheng's language is a leap and bound. He almost became a translator, informing Zhao Hu and Hu Hai every day that he and the woman had learned something new.

Through the deepening of all-round communication with the woman, it was obvious that the woman also realized that she estimated that she would not be able to return to her home, so she resigned herself to her fate and told Zhao Cheng everything she knew about the Peacock Dynasty.

Zhao Hu's efforts were not in vain, this woman was the daughter of a high-ranking caste in the previous Peacock Dynasty, so the education she received since childhood was still very rich, she knew that the Peacock Dynasty had been occupied by Great Qin, to what extent, and she also knew what other dynasties were adjacent to him besides the Peacock Dynasty.

"The Seleucid Dynasty actually had such a big conflict with Great Qin?"

On this day, Zhao Cheng finally heard some dry goods from the woman's mouth, and he learned from the casual conversation with the woman that Great Qin seemed to have clashed with a dynasty on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty some time ago, and then ended with that dynasty being beaten by Great Qin's army and retreating into his previous territory.

Zhao Chengcheng talked to this woman for a day, and then he barely understood the cause and effect of this matter, and excitedly informed Hu Hai, Zhao Hu and others about this matter.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this woman's family was a high-ranking caste, she might not have been able to know about it, because Daqin directly declared that once they ruled the Mauryan Dynasty, the caste system would be completely abolished.

Therefore, although many people from the lower castes welcomed the arrival of Great Qin, there is one point, the Mauryan Dynasty is not only people from the lower castes, although there are few people from the upper castes, they can still be seen everywhere.

They were very repulsive to Great Qin, so when the Seleuks came to attack the Mauryan Dynasty, many people from the upper castes were very much looking forward to letting the Seleucians directly occupy the Mauryan Dynasty, and the reason was that they knew that the system of the Seleucians and the Mauryan Dynasty was similar, and they would definitely not shout to cancel the caste system as soon as they arrived in this land like Great Qin.

"Yes, the Seleucid Dynasty should have had to retreat to their territory after losing tens of thousands of cavalry under the blow of Meng Tian, so they must hate Daqin and Xiongnu at this time, and not only that, but even within this Mauryan Dynasty, we also have people who can fight for it."

"How so?"

"The system of this Peacock Dynasty is quite different from that of my Great Qin, the nobles on their territory are one level higher since they were born, and the low-level people cannot be promoted to high-level nobles no matter what you do, but after the Great Qin attacked the dynasty of the people, he directly announced ......"

At that moment, Zhao Chengcheng told Hu Hai and Zhao Hu everything he had understood from that woman.

"What does Sir mean is that we can first win over the high-ranking castes in this Mauryan Empire, and when we have a certain strength, even if it is discovered by Daqin or the Xiongnu, we can also go to the territory of Seleu to cooperate with the Seleuc people?"

"Yes, although we have no one in our hands, we have an advantage, that is, the identity of the prince is the younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor, the son of the First Emperor, as long as this identity is revealed, and to those high-ranking castes in the Peacock Dynasty to assure us that once we can overthrow the current emperor of Great Qin and set up another portal, they will definitely let them be the same as before, and they will definitely cooperate with our door when they are cornered."

After Hu Hai listened to Zhao Cheng's suggestion, he also felt quite reliable, he didn't have anything to do with his group before, and the only thing he had was such an identity. If you don't make good use of it, it's too late.

"Sir, this matter is still quite feasible, but we need to recruit as many high-ranking castes as possible before Daqin can deal with this epidemic!"
