The Seleucid Dynasty did not have a far-reaching history like the Mauryan Empire, when the soldiers of Great Qin stepped into the territory of the Mauryan Empire, this dynasty was only established for more than a hundred years, but in terms of strength, the Seleucid Dynasty in this period must be stronger than the Mauryan Empire.

The Seleucid Dynasty and the Great Qin, one in the northwest of the Mauryan Empire, and the other in the northeast of the Mauryan Empire, if the Great Qin did not take this large area of the Western Regions as its own, and did not open up the mountains to attack the Mauryan Dynasty, the Great Qin and the Seleucid Dynasty would definitely not meet in this era, let alone know each other's existence.

But because of the Mauryan Dynasty, this delicate balance between the three dynasties was broken.

And Yinggao, who doesn't know much about world history, only knows the name and geographical location of the Seleucid Dynasty, what he doesn't know is that the monarch of the Seleucid Dynasty at this time is less than forty years old, and Antiochus III is in his prime, and this person has been preparing for the Eastern Crusade almost since he ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and once the Eastern Crusade comes to an end, it is a large territory in the Western Regions shared by Great Qin and Xiongnu.

If Great Qin didn't care, let such a large bitter cold land as the Western Regions be empty, Antiochus III would not have any interest in the Western Regions even if he was on the edge of the Western Regions.

But now it is different, the Western Regions has become a golden passage that the Great Qin and the Xiongnu all value very much, once this cold and barren land is occupied and developed, it will naturally have a lot of changes in the fate of several dynasties that were originally divided by it.

Yinggao's actions were like pushing a domino, and many things after that were not something he could easily control.

When the northeast of the Mauryan Dynasty almost fell into the hands of the army of Great Qin, many people of the Peacock Dynasty naturally fled to the west of the dynasty, and the west is a place that has not been touched by the Great for the time being, although the city here also has a lot of defenders, although they also had the idea of wanting to recover the lost territory, but when they heard that the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin army reached a certain level, almost all of them gave up the idea of resistance and shrank in the place where they were not taken.

However, it is not a secret that the capital of the Mauryan Empire has fallen, and the capture of the Mauryan monarch Shelijia, in the remaining lands of the Mauryan Empire, this matter is spreading rapidly.

The Seleucid Dynasty had already signed a peace agreement with the Mauryan Empire many years ago, and their monarch was on an all-out crusade to the east, and under normal circumstances, he would never pay attention to the Mauryan Dynasty behind him, because the Mauryan Dynasty had not taken the initiative to invade them since the establishment of their dynasty.

But as the commotion on the Mauryan Empire became louder and louder, even Antiochus III did not pay attention to the Mauryan Empire, and some news reached his ears through various channels.

At first, he heard that a group of centaurs who didn't know where they came from were invading the northern part of the Mauryan Empire, and at that time he thought that as long as the Peacock Dynasty didn't think that this group of centaurs was sent by him, because he didn't believe that a dynasty that had been standing for an unknown amount of time would be defeated so easily by a team of invading centaurs, and the Peacock Dynasty had always been a big brother in his eyes.

But the next news made him a little unbelievable, the team didn't know what was going on, and directly attacked the capital of the Mauryan Empire.

And when he thought about whether to send an envoy to the Mauryan Empire to see what was going on, the news he received had already turned out that the capital of the Mauryan Empire had been breached by a group of troops from nowhere, and the Mauryan monarch Relic had fled to another city.

After that, the news became that the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty, Relic Lose, was chased to a hiding place and broke through the city gate, and I don't know whether he was dead or captured alive.

Such news was passed on to the Seleucid Dynasty one by one, and their initial thoughts were very shocking, and they were very afraid that if such a heavenly army really attacked the Mauryan Dynasty, then their own dynasty would be implicated in the next step.

But after this initial idea passed, they found that there was no other news after the news that Shelija had been captured, which made Antiochus III decide to send a small force to secretly visit the Mauryan Empire to find out how far the Mauryan Empire was occupied today.

At this time, it was the time when the group returned, and Antiochus III was questioning the team.

"What, those men and horses who attacked the Mauryan Empire did not continue to advance, but occupied the capital of the Mauryan Empire, and the captured relics stopped after losing the Kashal?"

"Yes, I heard the words of the defeated soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty, it was just hundreds of thousands of brave and warlike alien cavalry, but because the Peacock Dynasty had not systematically trained its own soldiers and horses for decades, and even how to manipulate elephants and other techniques did not know when it had been forgotten, so it was attacked by those alien people and horses all the way down a lot of cities, but the alien horses were limited after all, so they didn't dare to stretch the battle line too long, And the remaining soldiers of the Mauryan Empire were afraid of the fighting power of those alien races, so they did not dare to regain the lost territory. ”

As soon as Antiochus III heard such an answer, his eyes lit up at that time, and he slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and said to the officials in front of him: "I knew that the Mauryan Empire had become so weak, why did I still struggle to go east, I am afraid that a large area of the Mauryan Empire has already fallen into my hands, how can such a foreign race that came out of nowhere be the first to take the lead?" ”

Antiochus III is different from Yinggao, he is one of the best warriors in this dynasty, and whenever there is a major battle in the dynasty, he personally wears himself into battle and leads the warriors of the dynasty to battle.

At this time, the ability of the sergeants of the Seleucid Dynasty was not much stronger than that of the Mauryan Dynasty, and what Antiochus III said was not a lie, after all, in his eyes, the alien soldiers who attacked the Mauryan Dynasty must not know which small dynasty was attached to the surrounding of the Mauryan Dynasty before, and after discovering that the Peacock Dynasty was just a strong outsider, he finally couldn't help but send troops.

"Your Majesty, at this time, it is still not too late for us to send troops to the Peacock Dynasty, because of the lack of troops, the alien race only occupied less than half of the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, but it just took Hua City into the bag, at least a large area of land close to our dynasty has become a borderless land, why don't we send troops to take it?"

Antiochus III is not a brave and unscrupulous person, after one of his generals put forward such a proposal, he thought slightly, and then frowned and said silently: "If this is the case, it is equivalent to declaring war with the dynasty that captured the Mauryan Dynasty at this time, should we wait to see the details of that dynasty first, after all, it can send tens of thousands of troops to attack the forces of the Mauryan Dynasty, and the strength must not be underestimated!" ”

"Your Excellency, do you know that if you wait until that dynasty takes the entire Mauryan Dynasty into your pocket, won't we be even more passive? Our dynasty is connected to the Peacock Dynasty, and when the time comes, they are in high morale, how can they not bring the flames of war into our dynasty, it is better to start at this time, and use the large territory of the Peacock Dynasty as a buffer, not to mention that the territory of the Peacock Dynasty is very rich! ”

"That's right, our soldiers are all battle-hardened warriors, not necessarily as brave as those cavalry of foreign races, maybe we will defeat them again when the time comes, and the entire Mauryan Empire will be ours!"

Soon, there were more and more generals who stood up to suggest that Antiochus III send troops, and Antiochus III himself was also very enthusiastic about the land of the Mauryan Empire, so he finally couldn't stand the persuasion of these people, and nodded slightly.

At this time, Peng Yue, Sima Xin and Long He were also guarding and observing around Hua's city in accordance with the instructions of Xiang Yu and Han Xin when they were leaving.

Although a lot of scouts were also sent to observe the situation in the territory of the Mauryan Empire, they really did not observe the cities at the junction of the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleucid Dynasty, so Peng Yue and the others naturally had no way of knowing about Antiochus III's decision.

In such a situation, the first unexpected situation slowly began to appear, what Yinggao didn't know was that the real hell mode since he arrived in this era was slowly coming to him.

The current Yinggao is only a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young man in the next generation, and the successive successes over the years have not yet made him realize that it is impossible for everything to go according to his rhythm before he realizes that the whole world is in his hands, and there are still empires in this world that need to be really strong, not all of them are the type of people who eat and wait for death like the relics.

This time the battle to attack the Peacock Dynasty was actually like a big luck for Daqin, in this world, there is only one such unworthy dynasty in the Peacock Dynasty, and there is no second one.

At this time, Yinggao naturally didn't know anything about the possible changes, and what he was thinking about was to quickly take a look at how many of the more than 100 guys who participated in the second round of the examination in Xianyang Palace were usable talents.

On this first night, Yinggao insisted until the sky was about to dawn in two hours, and then he went to sleep in his dormitory under Lu Jia's persuasion, and Xiao He had already fallen asleep with a candidate's answer at this time.

This situation lasted for two days, and in the early morning of the third day, Yinggao finally read all the answers of more than 100 candidates, even if he didn't care much about whether the writing and handwriting were beautiful, but he was roughly browsing the ideas that these candidates wanted to express, and his energy was almost exhausted in the past three days.

In the end, there were twenty answers that appeared in Yinggao, two of which were placed in front of Yinggao's head, and the other eighteen were behind.

Looking at the name of Sun Yue on the above answer, Yinggao's face couldn't help but show a smile that could only be understood, and said that Sun Yue, a little girl, was really smart and tight, and obviously did not forget the words of encouragement she said in front of her back then.

And another name is Cai Yin.

This person is the only one who Yinggao feels unusual among these people, and the only fly in the ointment is that this guy's age is pressed into the line.

But although he is a little older, Yinggao keenly found that this person must have the ability to run a county, and his control of Yinggao's psychology is also quite in place.

According to Lu Jia's words after reading Cai Yin's answer, this Cai Yin must be stronger than himself when he first entered Xianyang City, which is undoubtedly a very high-level evaluation.

As for the remaining eighteen copies, they are all jade in Yinggao's eyes, and they need to be polished and polished before they can be used, almost all of them are talents, but they have almost no experience, if they are directly asked to manage something, then they have to make jokes.

But what Yinggao needs at this time is such a talent, before these old guys in the current court of Daqin grow old, Yinggao wants to cultivate the descendants of the troops selected by himself.

Three days later, all the candidates appeared on their own deeds, waiting for Xiao He, who was the official in charge of the school this time, to announce the final results.

"Sun Yue, Cai Yin......"

Twenty names were read out of Xiao He's mouth, obviously these twenty people were the final answer to this first imperial examination, and Sun Yue's name appeared in the first place, although everyone didn't know what this order represented, but their eyes almost fell on this beautiful woman, although they vaguely knew that she seemed to be the daughter of the county guard of which county, but no one doubted Yinggao's choice, of course, envy must be there.

"After the above twenty people return to the post house for the time being, they will wait for the summons of the king tomorrow, and the rest will be escorted back to their own county by my Great Qin Guard, and your names have also been recorded by us.

Although the people who were not selected were very disappointed, when Xiao He said this, they suddenly felt that this result seemed to be good.
