Chapter 605: They Broke the Rules of the Game (Second Update)
After these months of fermentation, Seleucus was taken by Great Qin, and the news of Antiochus III's surrender to Great Qin was transmitted to a very far place, to the territory of the dynasty that had previously paid great attention to the occupation of the Mauryan Empire by Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, Great Qin has just occupied the Mauryan Empire for less than three years, and now he has incorporated the land of Seleuc into his territory, the speed of expansion is really a bit too fast, right?"
is still the official who is in charge of Daqin's news, almost every time he reports Daqin's news to his monarch, Daqin will have some performances that surprise them very much, and the hidden meaning of his words is also very obvious, that is, if it is not controlled, Daqin is very likely to continue to expand, and once such a situation appears, sooner or later it will have a great impact on them.
"Daqin, if they knew that it was enough, we wouldn't mind their development, but if their greed was never satisfied, they would have broken the rules of the game, and it would be time for us to make a move."
The monarch didn't show any confusion about the fact that Daqin occupied Seleuc, but he just said such a sentence lightly, and the official under his command was also a little confused, and he didn't know how to take it.
"Then you think, is it time for us to make a move?"
"Let's observe for the time being, if there is any opportunity that can make the people of Daqin uncomfortable, you can also give it a try, after all, things are far from being able to be critical to us, don't worry."
Less than a month has passed since this conversation, and a guy with a slightly different appearance from them suddenly appeared directly on the territory of this dynasty, and this guy claimed to be from Seleucus, who had just been attacked by Great Qin, and was ordered by Antiochus III, who had surrendered to Seleucus.
Immediately afterwards, a letter was placed in front of the monarch, originally for such envoys, he did not care very much, with their strength, almost every day to get close to them, all kinds of letters are always placed on his desk.
But this time, he decided to take a look, there was no other reason, it was because this matter involved Daqin, who he had been paying attention to all along.
After reading this letter, a rare smile appeared on his face, and then he called the official who reported the news of Daqin to him from time to time in front of him again and showed him the letter.
"I just said it a few days ago, if we really have the opportunity to cause some trouble to Daqin, we still have to do it, and today we will send such an opportunity to the door by ourselves, and it is indeed time to let Daqin know that there is a sky outside the sky!"
That official's attitude towards Daqin has always been more radical, and as soon as he heard this, his eyes let out some essence and said: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to Seleucus and bring some people with me." ”
But after hearing this, the monarch still shook his head and said: "It's not the time for us to come forward, just find a small dynasty that is loyal to us, and tell them to go on our behalf, if we can really cooperate with the Seleuks to drive Great Qin away, the Seleuks will belong to them!" But don't let Daqin know of our existence. ”
Obviously, what this monarch wants to play is the trick of killing people with a knife, he doesn't want to use his own people at all, he just wants to involve others in this turmoil, on the one hand, he obviously doesn't want his dynasty to be exposed prematurely, on the other hand, he doesn't pay attention to Daqin, although Daqin's development is rapid, but in his eyes, hard power is still not enough.
Although it was a bit unpleasant to do this in the eyes of this official, he was not very easy to disobey his sovereign's orders, so he personally went out of the city at that time, and went to find an obedient force according to what the monarch said.
This kind of thing is difficult to operate, and it also takes time, because the distance from here to Seleucus is not closer than that of Great Qin, and there is no Mauryan Empire as a buffer in the middle.
Of course, Han Xin and Meng Tian don't know what happened here, and Ying Gao doesn't know either, and Ying Gao now has a headache of how to deal with this Antiochus III.
Antiochus III is a monarch who is much older than himself, but he is still in his prime, and the difference between the relics and the relics is that he threw the relics on the streets of Daqin, he is basically the same as the combat power of an ordinary Daqin common people, and the damage to the security of Xianyang City is very small.
But Antiochus III is different, although this guy is a monarch, but in Yinggao's eyes he is more like a general, although the figure is not very tall, but a body of tendon meat, if you really fight with someone, a dozen or so people should not be close.
In addition, this time Han Xin and Meng Tian sent over with him There are also more than a dozen cronies, if these people are placed in Xianyang City, Yinggao doesn't believe that they will honestly enjoy life here like relics.
Especially now there are a lot of people from the Mauryan Dynasty in Daqin, and the languages of the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleuks are basically incomprehensible, once he buys the people of the Mauryan Dynasty who come to Daqin to do business and pass the news between Daqin and Seleuc, the consequences are unimaginable.
But it is a person like Antiochus III, because the people surrendered on their own initiative, and whether it is in the territory of Seleucus or in the territory of Great Qin, the attitude is very good, so it is impossible for Yinggao to lock up people, because what happened to such a big figure as Antiochus III in the territory of Great Qin, it will be transmitted to the territory of Seleu sooner or later, and Yinggao wants to let the Seleucians support Daqin like the people of the Mauryan Dynasty, and he must have a reputation for treating Antiochus III well.
In the end, after several rounds of deliberation, Yinggao sent those of Antiochus III's cronies to different counties, and all of them were appointed as some low-level officials, seemingly to let them live a good life in Daqin and have no worries about food and clothing, but in fact, they were always under the surveillance of their cronies.
As for Antiochus III, Yinggao left him in Xianyang City, Antiochus III was the monarch of the previous Seleucus after all, Yinggao should also be given housing to housing, and should be given to maids to maids, but Antiochus III's residence is different from that of Sarishiga, his residence is in a very remote place, Yinggao did not restrict his freedom or anything else, but once Antiochus III was active in Xianyang City, Yinggao's guards would definitely be able to know.
After arranging Antiochus III, Yinggao knew that Han Xin and Meng Tian had wasted so much effort to send such a soldier this time, but their task was only half completed, Seleuc was destroyed, and the Seleucian monarch was successfully sent back, but Hu Hai had not caught it, so it could not be regarded as a success.
Hu Hai was able to secretly develop tens of thousands of warriors in this short period of time, and under the pursuit of the Great Qin people, and according to Yinggao's analysis, it is very likely that this is not their full strength, which is enough to explain their means.
Ying Gao knew that if Han Xin and Meng Tian could find Hu Hai within a year and a half, with Daqin's army of two or three hundred thousand, they would still be able to wipe them out without much effort, and then capture Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
But if he waited a few more years, with Hu Hai's ability, he didn't know how much stronger he would be, and if he gathered 100,000 200,000 men and horses under his command, it would be very difficult to destroy their power in the chaotic land outside the Mauryan Dynasty.
After a short period of analysis, Yinggao almost concluded that Hu Hai must have a very stable foothold in addition to the Seleuc in that territory, which may be the cooperation of other small forces, or it may be that he directly destroyed a small force.
In short, it is very likely that they will have their own cities and lands by this time, otherwise they would not have taken the people they brought from the Mauryan Empire with them.
In this way, Yinggao had a direction, and in the letter he sent back to Han Xin and Meng Tian, he instructed them to carefully investigate the small forces within a certain range that had made a fortune before they attacked Seleuc, and Hu Hai was likely to control one or two cities.
And Ying Gao said, if you really find that there are uncooperative forces, they will be destroyed, their first priority is to find out Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, and Ying Gao also said, even if Zhao Cheng is not found, it doesn't matter, Hu Hai has a special identity, and he has clearly opposed Daqin, if he has been active over there, once it is used by someone with a heart, it will be a great hidden danger that will affect Daqin's control of the Seleu and the Peacock Dynasty.
In addition, Yinggao also specially instructed Lu Jia, who was in charge of the Mauryan Dynasty, because the Mauryan Dynasty has nothing to do now, so it is necessary to send some officials who have no problems in terms of language and ability to Seleucus to speed up Daqin's control over Seleuc, after all, to control a dynasty, it is not enough to have soldiers and generals, but also officials.
After all these news were sent, Yinggao's heart was still not very supportive, and he didn't know why, he just felt that there seemed to be something missing in the war against Seleuche this time, and it seemed that there was something more.
In fact, according to Yinggao's previous estimates, once Daqin completely controls Seleuc, there is actually no need for Han Xin and Meng Tian to continue there, the name of the shadow man of the tree, your Daqin has destroyed the Peacock Dynasty and Seleucus one after another, if I provoke you Daqin again, won't it automatically become Daqin's third target?
And now, Ying Gao has always had a bad premonition in his heart, although the timing of his attack on Seleu is very ripe, and the process is very smooth, but he always feels that Han Xin and Meng Tian should not be allowed to come back so quickly, he can't tell where this feeling came from, but he knows that if you have this feeling and don't do what this feeling tells you, the consequences will definitely make you pay a very painful price.
This night, Cao Shen, who does not often come to Xianyang Palace, appeared in front of Yinggao, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, Cao Shen has been involved since the day of the incident, and Cao Shen certainly knows how Hu Hai walked out of Xianyang Palace step by step and became the first person to oppose Qin.
"I'm watching that Antiochus III, if I expect it to be right, this guy must have something hidden in his heart, he surrendered directly to Han Xin and Meng Tian this time, and it is likely that this matter is not so simple."
"Oh? Did you ever think that since he didn't have any aversion to being escorted back to Daqin, I was afraid that even if he had any thoughts in his heart, it was arranged before surrendering, and if others were not in Seleuc, Seleu would naturally have someone to do it instead of him, so for his performance in Daqin, I am afraid that no amount of surveillance will have much effect! ”
Cao Shen's head is as flexible as ever, although this is a different opinion, but it can also be regarded as a reminder of Yinggao.
"Having said that, but Antiochus III, as the monarch of Seleucus, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to accept his fate, I think so, you should also ...... while monitoring this person's movements"
Yinggao said a lot of things in Cao Shen's ear, Cao Shen nodded again and again after listening, for Yinggao, he only admired in his heart, nothing else.
A few days later, Antiochus III approached Yinggao because of the language barrier in Daqin, and wanted Yinggao to equip him with someone who could speak their language, until he learned the words of Daqin.
As for Ying Gao, he said that he didn't bother to care about such trivial things at all, and directly gave Antiochus III a lot of money, and asked him to spend his own money to hire, whether it was a person from the Great Qin Dynasty or a person from the Peacock Dynasty, in this Xianyang City, it could be hired.
Antiochus III did not shirk when he saw this situation, after he took the money out of the palace gate of Xianyang Palace, he really went to the most prosperous market in Xianyang City, and with a subtle smile on his face, but what he didn't know was that looking at his back when he left Xianyang Palace, Ying Gao and Cao Shen also gave out a smile after looking at each other, this smile is the same as the person's smile, there is a trace of other meaning.
Ying Gao found out after this incident that the Peacock Dynasty may really be that he has missed it in vain, and none of the real big dynasties will be easy to deal with, he is in Daqin, and the road is long and obstructive.
