The reason why Yinggao is so bold and dares to let Meng Tian take 100,000 horses, of which tens of thousands are the men and horses under the command of Philip V waiting here to deal with the main force of the Romans, it is precisely because he still has a strong force in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, those men and horses are now practicing and building warships in the coastal areas of the Mauryan Dynasty under the leadership of Peng Yue, most of them have participated in the previous campaign of Great Qin against the Mauryan Dynasty, and there is no problem at all in terms of combat effectiveness.

Ying Gao had already given Peng Yue an order when he saw Zhao Gang and learned about the Romans and Zhao Hu's scheme, he had to temporarily stop what he was doing, and then go to the place between the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleuc to respond, once Ying Gao really failed in Seleuc, they had to escort Ying Gao all the way back and resist the Roman cavalry by the way.

And Yinggao also knows that there is another point, that is, the Hun cavalry under Xiang Yu must have been more than 200,000, and these 200,000 are the elite of the Hun cavalry, and there are many warriors in various tribes who have not entered the 200,000.

Before Xiang Yu set off, Yinggao had already told Xiang Yu that under Xiang Yu's arrangement, Ji Bu would be left on the territory controlled by the Huns.

Under the coordination of many parties, Yinggao was not afraid of the arrival of the Romans, and even he was looking forward to the arrival of the Romans, because once the Roman consuls attacked here with their main forces, it means that they sent Han Xin and Xiang Yu They must not have been known by the Romans, in that case, no matter what kind of battle they are in, the Romans on the Roman soil will definitely not have good fruit to eat, and when the Roman consuls come to their senses, their strong backing will basically not be there anymore.

After telling Tian Yan about her arrangements, Tian Yan's originally slightly nervous face also relaxed, of course she knew that Yinggao would definitely not fight an unprepared battle, but after relaxing, Tian Yan still sighed slightly.

"I don't know if there will be other big forces behind the Romans after the war with the Romans is over this time, if that is the case, the king will not be able to get a life for a few years, the king knows, Sister Feng Qing has always hoped that the king will not ask about those fights and killings, our Great Qin country is rich and strong, and no force dares to invade the territory, isn't it the king's long-cherished wish?"

Such words suddenly came out of Tian Yan's mouth, which really made Ying Gao pause, Ying Gao knew that Tian Yan would definitely not have such an idea before, because the biggest purpose of following Ying Gao this time was not to lead the troops to the expedition once?

What Yinggao thought was indeed right, even when Tian Yan and Feng Qing were chatting before, Feng Qing expressed that he didn't want Yinggao to focus all his attention on fighting, killing, and killing, Tian Yan didn't agree very much.

But this time after Tian Yan followed Meng Tian to the battlefield, her thoughts were completely changed, on the battlefield, she suddenly knew a truth, no matter what you were before, when you arrived on the battlefield, you were a weapon, a weapon to kill the enemy, and no longer a fresh life.

No matter which side has strong combat effectiveness and which side has weak combat effectiveness, it is just the difference between more or less, dead people are the main theme on the battlefield, even if you capture the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleucus all the way from Daqin, or continue to capture Rome, the casualties of Daqin soldiers are actually a lot.

Tian Yan didn't know when such a cruel war would come to an end, and she didn't know how many empires were waiting for Yinggao to conquer after Rome, and in her opinion, such a war might last Yinggao's life.

After listening to Tian Yan's words, Ying Gao smiled slightly, and first asked like a joke: "Didn't Madam always want to kill more enemies for my Great Qin on the battlefield?" Why did this change my mind? ”

"What is the significance of my Great Qin conquering so much land, and how has it changed the lives of the people in Great Qin? Have these gentlemen thought about it? ”

Seeing that Tian Yan was really not joking this time, but really thinking so, Yinggao also put away his smile and said: "From the day when Daqin walked out of the Western Regions and captured the Mauryan Dynasty, Daqin's way forward has been determined, if we stop after seizing the Mauryan Dynasty, Rome and Macedonia will think that we have no strength to move forward, they will definitely launch a series of fierce attacks on the Mauryan Dynasty we occupy in the near future, and they want not to fall into passivity. We must destroy them all. ”

"That ......" Hearing Yinggao say this, Tian Yan was obviously a little disappointed, she opened her mouth to say something more, but there was nothing more to say.

"But what Madame thinks in her heart, I naturally know, and I don't want the lives of my Great Qin's soldiers to be lost in such an endless war, and I don't dare to guarantee other things, but Rome is indeed the only force in the world that is worthy of such a big move by my Great Qin, and when the battle with Rome is over this time, we will not need to use swords for a long time, and our stable days are not far away."

Of course, Yinggao can't tell Tian Yan because he has crossed over from his previous life, so he knows how well he knows the history of this time, here are these forces, and they will be gone after they are all cleaned up.

Tian Yan looked at Yinggao and felt that what he said really didn't look like he was lying, so he could only nod his head suspiciously for the time being.

In fact, Yinggao's thoughts are not the same as Tian Yan's, Feng Qing doesn't like war, Tian Yan doesn't like war, Yinggao actually doesn't like war even more, but he doesn't recruit either, he lives in such a cannibalistic era, if you don't like it, you can like it, only after killing them all, you will really be qualified to say that you don't like war, this truth may not be known by Feng Qing and Tian Yan for the time being, but Yinggao must know.

Han Xin took Xiang Yu and Philip V, as well as the army behind him, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, to go in one direction, but this direction was not a straight direction to Rome, but a route they had carefully designed before.

Yinggao and Han Xin, Meng Tian once analyzed, if the Romans wanted to take advantage of Yinggao's departure to attack Seleuc, then they would definitely take the nearest route, in order to avoid encountering their enemies on the way, so that the Roman consuls could react that their plans had been recognized, so Han Xin and they had to make a detour.

They did not take the gateway to Rome directly, but wanted to attack from the flank, which required them to spend more time on the march, although this might make the soldiers of Daqin's expedition very tired, but Yinggao thought that the advantages of doing this outweighed the disadvantages, especially in case the Romans were still very well guarded.

At this time, the Roman consuls and Zhao Hu were already ready to go, and their target this time was none other than Seleuc.

But Yinggao has one thing that he didn't expect, that is, the Roman consuls discussed with Zhao Hu, in order to prevent Yinggao's strategy from falling for Yinggao's strategy this time, they did not plan to take the territory of Seleuca directly, but first took down several strategic points in Macedonia, and then after occupying the city, they went to attack Seleucus steadily, left and right In their opinion, since Yinggao returned to Daqin, it was not a moment and a half to be able to come back, so they were not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, a hundred secrets are sparse and a hundred secrets are sparse, and it can't be regarded as negligence that Yinggao didn't think of this, but just like that, although it has no impact on Han Xin's team, it is a very big test for Meng Tian and Yinggao and their sergeants stationed in Seleuc.

According to the idea of the Roman consuls, after they sent troops from Rome, they captured a city in Macedonia as quickly as possible, if they were determined enough, Daqin's cavalry should not have time to rescue, so that they could encroach on Macedonia's territory in a short period of time, if the Daqin cavalry didn't care, Macedonia would destroy them first, Daqin couldn't even protect his allies, and his reputation in this territory was naturally not good.

And once Daqin wanted to take care of this matter, it would be in the hands of the Roman consuls, the reason why they were beaten enough by the Daqin people when they attacked Macedonia before was that they had been consumed a lot by Philip V at the beginning, and the other is that they didn't expect the Daqin people to participate in that battle at all.

But this time it was different, this time they had made all the preparations, and the idea of taking Macedonia first and then Seleucus was very mature, so the confidence of the Roman consuls was also very strong.

In fact, this war has been carried out to this extent, both sides have actions that the other side did not expect, and the difference in the strength of the two sides is not large, it can be said that each side has the possibility of victory, and how the follow-up situation will develop depends on the on-the-spot adaptability of both sides.

Yinggao is in the city of Seleuc, and his heart is also slightly turbulent, this time since he came, Yinggao also wants to put some pressure on himself, and the Roman consul has just come face to face, although he doesn't have to go to the battlefield in person, but this series of battles are not all arranged by himself behind his back, he is the one who is in charge of the banner of Daqin, so there are some things that he still needs to face.

Originally, Yinggao really didn't think that the Romans could attack Seleuc, but this strategy was obviously Zhao Hu's plan, and now it has succeeded, Zhao Hu, as a native of Daqin, must have a lot of say in the follow-up of this matter, combined with Zhao Gang's previous quite firm guess about Zhao Hu's behavior, Yinggao himself gradually favored that the Romans might really target Seleucus.

After all, once the Seleucus is captured, the Mauryan Dynasty is equivalent to a wide open door, and the Roman cavalry will drive straight into the Mauryan Dynasty to take down, for what kind of existence Daqin is, Yinggao believes that the Romans are also very curious, and they will even think about whether they can take this attack as an opportunity to directly touch the edge of Daqin.

Combined with the huge benefits that this will bring once it succeeds, Ying Gao also judged that Zhao Hu would definitely try his best to persuade the Roman consuls to attack Seleuc, so after Han Xin and they left, Ying Gao asked Meng Tian to send a very large number of scouts, wanting to get the news as soon as the Romans came to attack, after all, the Romans came from a long journey, and Meng Tian was also in danger to defend, and this kind of battle was not the most difficult to fight.

The days of waiting are always long, and what Yinggao wants to wait for first is the good news that Han Xin has sent back from Rome, but he also knows that this is basically impossible, and he always has to face it.

On this day, the bored Yinggao came to Zhao Gang's house again, although Zhao Gang was under house arrest, but the daily routine was still very regular, when Yinggao went, Zhao Gang was meditating with his eyes closed, looking at his state, obviously he had put his life and death out of the way.

"I followed your advice, and I am waiting here for Zhao Hu to bring the Romans to attack Seleuc, if he doesn't come, your bet will be lost."

Zhao Gang opened his eyes and saw it, slowly stood up and saluted Yinggao, and then said slowly: "With my understanding of Zhao Hu, if this matter is something he can say, he will definitely come, since I want to return to the village of Yanguo's hometown, naturally I will not talk nonsense, Zhao Hu is indeed a powerful person, and now that Zhao Gao and Zhao Chengdu are dead, he will naturally use his ability to do what he wants to do in his heart." ”

Yinggao doesn't know Zhao Hu, but through Zhao Gang's description, Yinggao didn't take this Zhao Hu lightly, the reason why Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were able to escape the pursuit of the Great Qin people again and again before, now Yinggao has a little analysis, and feels that it should be Zhao Hu's role in this, Zhao Hu should not only have a very strong force, but Yinggao's mind will definitely not be very bad.

"Okay, then you can wait with me in this Seleu city for the good news!"
