Chapter 588: The Result of Killing Two Birds with One Stone (First Update)
It's still Xiang Yu and Han Xin, and they're still drinking under the moon, but this time Han Xin's mood is different from the last time, originally he thought that it would take a month to kill the White Tiger Dynasty with 100,000 people, but now, it was completed in seven days, and the head of the monarch of the White Tiger Dynasty was in his team, which made Han Xin feel very good.
"If there is no Shan Yu's guidance this time, I'm afraid that Han Xin is still fighting with the army of the White Tiger Dynasty at this time, this matter, after Han Xin returns to Xianyang City, he will definitely inform the monarch that this power, Daqin naturally can't let the Huns come out in vain!"
After finishing speaking, Han Xin picked up the wine in his hand, raised his neck and drank it all, he did not say that this matter was a personal relationship between Xiang Yu and himself, but rose to the level of Great Qin and the Xiongnu, which made Xiang Yu also feel very useful.
Because the Xiongnu have just transitioned from grazing to planting, they actually need the help of Daqin very much, and Yinggao has already helped the Xiongnu a lot when he arrived in the Peacock Dynasty earlier, so in this case, Xiang Yu is really embarrassed to open his mouth again, and now there is this matter of helping Han Xin, if Han Xin can help him again, then Yinggao's temperament will definitely return this favor elsewhere.
Of course, Xiang Yu helped Han Xin, the first thing that came to mind was not this, but he happened to know about it, and Han Xin also happened to have this need, first of all, Han Xin was able to go to Xiang Yu's city as soon as he arrived here to catch up with the past, which means that Daqin and the Xiongnu showed goodwill, otherwise, the matter of attacking the White Tiger Dynasty may not be a problem.
Therefore, Lu Jia and Meng Tian may not have seen it, but Ying Gao and Han Xin have already seen that the Xiongnu, an ally, should never be given up by Great Qin during this time period.
Because all aspects that Great Qin is about to face are very complicated, sometimes they can't be taken care of at a glance, and the consequences may be serious, but the role of the Xiongnu staying in one-third of the territory of the Mauryan Empire is undoubtedly huge.
This drink, Han Xin has let go of the burden in his heart, and drank with Xiang Yu for almost a night, this night, the two did not talk about anything about the relationship between Daqin and the Xiongnu, but kept recalling the time when the two were in Jiangdong.
Although they knew that Yinggao might not be too happy if they knew what the two of them were talking about at this time, the two still chatted with relish, because they both knew that Yinggao was a person who could see things and should not attach much importance to the past.
After staying on the border of the Xiongnu for two days, Han Xin took his soldiers and horses to Hua's City, of course he had to inform Lu Jia and Meng Tian, after all, according to his previous plan, the territory of the White Tiger Dynasty was not said to be given to the Gusha Kingdom, and even before they went, they didn't know what the Gusha Kingdom was.
In the past two days, although Han Xin had eaten and drunk in Xiang Yu's city quite well, in the realm outside the Peacock Dynasty, the news that the White Tiger Dynasty had suddenly been killed spread like a whirlwind, which surprised many surrounding forces.
In the courts of one dynasty after another, almost identical conversations broke out at this time.
"What, the White Tiger Dynasty was destroyed by Great Qin? Didn't you just send back the news a few days ago, saying that the White Tiger Dynasty was about to destroy the ancient temple country? Could this news be true? ”
"The White Tiger Dynasty has finally been destroyed! Wait, where is Daqin's army now, will it directly wipe out all our surrounding forces? ”
"All the territory of the White Tiger Dynasty has been divided into the Gusha Kingdom? Which place is Daqin playing, what kind of ecstasy did the monarch of the ancient temple country pour into the generals of Daqin, they are just a small country, if Daqin wants to find a puppet here, it is better to find us to come! ”
For a while, all kinds of news were transmitted on this land, but after many forces knew about it, most of them first clapped their hands and applauded, and then thought about it again, and breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest was basically jealousy of the ancient temple country, they now obviously knew that the ancient temple country was very empty, even if they got the land of the White Tiger Dynasty before, but the troops were not enough.
But there is one point, the land obtained by the ancient temple country was given by Han Xin, the general of Great Qin, which is equivalent to establishing a position for the ancient temple country in this land, even if there is not a single sergeant, many forces dare not step into their territory, otherwise who can guarantee that they are not the end of the next White Tiger Dynasty.
Of course, the news also reached Seleuc, Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng, and Antiochus III, almost all of whom knew the news.
Antiochus III knew in his heart that this attack of Great Qin seemed to have no purpose, or that the White Tiger Dynasty had made people angry and resentful in this land, so they came to punish them, but the real purpose was just to show the forces in this area, including them, that Great Qin's strength was like this, if any of the forces were not honest, then Great Qin could only say sorry to him, and then let him end up like the White Tiger Dynasty.
This is not just like the Mauryan Empire, just asking for your city and land, but cutting off the monarch's head and taking it away, destroying the country and destroying the species, nothing more than that.
"Childe, Daqin sent Han Xin this time, didn't he find us?"
"No, if they really found us, it wouldn't be the White Tiger Dynasty who was unlucky, with the strength of Great Qin and the Xiongnu, although it was a little hard to deal with a Seleuc, but there was no need to take down the White Tiger Dynasty first to achieve the goal of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. This is undoubtedly an extra move, and it will also give Seleu enough time to prepare, so they must not know that we are in Seleuc, but after this incident, our actions will be more secretive, especially not to let the people of the ancient temple country know about our situation, otherwise, we will not be able to hide it. ”
Hu Hai's analysis of the purpose of the Great Qin army this time was also very clear, of course he knew that this must be a decision made by his brother, otherwise no one would be able to let Han Xin run such a long way with a mere 30,000 horses just to destroy a White Tiger Dynasty.
But doing so will definitely make Seleu vigilant, he doesn't believe that Yinggao will not think of it, so he still knows about Yinggao's purpose, and for Hu Hai, what he doesn't fully know is undoubtedly the most terrifying, so he knows that he and Zhao Cheng must be cautious.
In the court of Seleucus, Antiochus III was also gathering his cronies to discuss this matter, but his perspective was very different from that of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
"With 30,000 of our Seleucian's most elite warriors, can we wipe out a White Tiger Dynasty?"
Antiochus III looked at his cronies and asked through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, if there are eighty or ninety thousand people, plus our weapons and equipment are indeed stronger than the White Tiger Dynasty, it is still very possible, but with only 30,000 people, how can we destroy a White Tiger Dynasty?"
"Just 30,000 people? Just a few days ago, Han Xin, the general of Great Qin, led a mere 30,000 people to destroy the White Tiger Dynasty! ”
After listening to the words of his general, Antiochus III was so angry that he slapped the table fiercely, and he was undoubtedly very angry that the ability of his army was not comparable to that of Daqin's cavalry.
You must know that the Seleucian's army is experienced in a hundred battles, and if such an army can't win the White Tiger Dynasty with 30,000 troops, how strong will Daqin's cavalry be?
If this is really the case, there will be a big war with Great Qin and Seleu in the near future, and there is no need to fight at all, wouldn't it be better for Antiochus III to kneel down and submit to Great Qin now?
However, Antiochus III was the self-proclaimed emperor, and of course the emperor would not kneel down casually, and he wanted all the ideas of how to defeat the cavalry of the Great Qin, not anything else.
"Your Majesty, the reason why these 30,000 people were able to destroy the entire White Tiger Dynasty was because they had reached an agreement with the Gusi Kingdom before, and they took advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp of the White Tiger Dynasty, which laid the victory in one fell swoop!"
"If it were you, would you be able to do it?"
"This ...... But I can't guarantee it! ”
As soon as Antiochus III heard this, he had the idea of beheading this general in his heart at that time, but there must be nothing wrong with what people said, this time there was basically no progress in this discussion, of course, Antiochus III did not kill any generals, he knew, because the ancient temple country had become an out-and-out lackey of Great Qin, which caused his situation to become more and more bad, especially when Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng had been hiding in his kingdom for a long time.
Of course, Antiochus III also thought that he could quickly contact those other forces, and then form an alliance on this land, with his own ability, it is obviously quite easy to obtain the position of the leader of this alliance, and the strength of this alliance will definitely be able to surpass the strength of Great Qin on the territory of the Peacock Empire.
But this idea was not spoken, and it ran aground in the heart of Antiochus III, because with the battle of Great Qin against the White Tiger Dynasty, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of these small dynasties could already be seen.
And the improvised alliance must be a group of people with their own agendas, once they find that Daqin's cavalry is brave, they don't have to really hurt them, it must be a situation where the trees are falling and scattered, and then the other forces don't know where to go, and there is only one Seleuc Dynasty left, and he still has to carry everything himself? It's better to continue to pretend that you don't know what to do here, right?
So Antiochus III made up his mind, at least in the current situation, he still didn't make any kind of movement, although he didn't know why, but after making the movement, he obviously didn't have any good fruit to eat, so he naturally didn't want to make any movement.
After Han Xin informed Meng Tian and Lu Jia of their own results, he hurried back to Xianyang City, of course, the 30,000 cavalry were left here for Meng Tian, which is also a major purpose for Han Xin's here, isn't it?
After less than a month, Han Xin appeared in Xianyang City on time, and the time taken to go back and forth was nearly two months faster than Yinggao's prediction, Yinggao knew that there was only one reason for coming back so soon, that is, this matter was completed too smoothly.
"What? You actually bought a small dynasty directly this time? In this way, it can be regarded as the completion of the first two steps of my previous plan, very good, very good! ”
Yinggao really didn't expect that Han Xin could subdue an ancient temple country by the way after conquering the White Tiger Dynasty, and a piece of land in the White Tiger Dynasty was basically of no use to Great Qin at this stage, and it was really cost-effective to use it to buy a dynasty.
Previously, in that chaotic land outside the borders of the Mauryan Empire, the rule of Great Qin was completely blank, and no matter what happened there, the Great Qin people did not know the details.
But now it's different, the current situation is that the Gusha Council will tell Daqin almost everything that happened there, and finally let Yinggao know.
Yinggao knew that after Han Xin directly completed these two things, it may be getting closer and closer to the day when he dug Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng out, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, these two people, will definitely not stay on that land honestly during this time, Yinggao knows that they must be planning something, if they continue to be so laissez-faire, maybe they will really bring a big surprise to Daqin, of course, this surprise is not the surprise that Yinggao wants to see.
"It's a long story, when I originally got there, I didn't know that the White Tiger Dynasty was attacking the ancient temple country, and the ancient temple country was almost to the extent of destroying the country, I was able to learn about the situation in time, thanks to the Xiongnu's Shan Yu Xiang Yu!"
Speaking of which, when Han Xin visited him in Xiang Yu's land, Xiang Yu told him the details of this incident and told Yinggao.
"In this way, Xiang Yu is not very disgusted with me waiting for Liwei on the border of the Peacock Dynasty?"
"According to Han Xin's opinion, Xiang Yu's focus now is not on guarding against my Great Qin, but on how to adapt the people of the Xiongnu to farming in the city, and in this regard, Xiang Yu seems to be encountering a lot of difficulties."
Han Xin's hint is very clear about what Yinggao wants to express, of course, there are some things that cannot be said by Han Xin, and Yinggao himself must say it.
"Good! Since the Xiongnu are so friendly to my Great Qin, I immediately sent a team of officials in charge of agricultural affairs to help a group of Xiongnu allies in the next planting cycle to Xiang Yu's territory! ”
