"It depends on what they mean, they don't have much support for us."

"It's okay, sir, just follow what we have agreed before, I want to see what other choice they have when they have already arrived at this field."

Hu Hai was already calm and relaxed at this time, without any nervousness, holding the peacock dynasty's unique water that he didn't know what to use to take a sip, and said slowly.

Seeing Hu Hai's confidence, Zhao Cheng naturally let go of all his burdens, and worked hard to organize a speech in the language he had learned and sold, and then cleared his throat and said it in front of the two principals in the city.

"Now if it weren't for this epidemic, I'm afraid that your small city would have already become the territory of Daqin, where would you be able to enjoy it here, but now this time the epidemic is about to pass, after the epidemic passes, Daqin's cavalry will definitely start to occupy the remaining cities again, as far as you mercenaries who don't know how much combat power are concerned, they can't hold out for even an hour, I can't wait, you can only wait for death!"

Zhao Cheng's words were deafening in the ears of the two patriarchs, and the two of them glanced at each other, although they both knew that what Zhao Cheng said was the truth, but they were never willing to admit it.

"Huh? I wonder if this prince has any solution? ”

Now that people have taken off your underwear, these two nobles of the Peacock Dynasty have nothing to hold, and now it is obvious to see if Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng can come up with a method, as long as there is a way, in fact, they are still willing to give it a try.

"In the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, the number of high-level castes is far inferior to that of low-level castes, so Daqin is making such a fuss, according to common sense, it is naturally difficult for you to toss any tricks, but there is one point, a lot of the wealth and resources of the Peacock Dynasty are in your hands, otherwise, I am afraid it is impossible for you to buck the trend in such a situation and drive out the low-level castes in the original city out of the city, if you don't have the resources and ability, I'm afraid your own money has been snatched away by people from the lower castes, right? ”

"What Mr. said is very true, it is true, we have hired a lot of mercenaries to protect before, and some mercenaries only recognize money, so after Daqin attacked and defeated the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, we spent a lot of money to hire a thousand mercenaries, which temporarily kept the peace of this city, but once Daqin's army arrived, I am afraid that these mercenaries will not fight hard for us."

"Hmph, you don't dare to rise up in this land, but because there is no one among you who can stand out, if you keep quiet, it's a big deal to become an ordinary person at that time, if you rise up, I'm afraid that you will lose your life at that time, but now, it's not you who come out, but our prince of Daqin, as long as you take out your resources and appease your mercenaries, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Zhao Cheng was still so confident when he said it, but after the two patriarchs glanced at each other, they were obviously a little puzzled.

"Even in the name of the prince of Great Qin, I'm afraid I won't be able to defend this lonely city at that time."

"It is true that one lonely city cannot be defended, but what if there are ten? As far as I know, there are still bad cities that Great Qin has not occupied, and there are not a few nobles like you who hire mercenaries to disperse the people in the city, if you integrate them all, how powerful will it be? ”

"This ...... It is indeed a bit large, but in today's situation, who dares to pick this head? Besides, even if all the high-ranking castes in this realm were united, they would still not be able to compete with the cavalry of Great Qin. ”

Zhao Cheng said that obviously everyone has thought about it, but after thinking about it for a while, they decided that they couldn't make it, knowing that it wouldn't work, these people naturally wouldn't be stupid to try.

"Why are you fighting against Daqin's cavalry now, in the current situation, what you are thinking about in your heart should be how to escape from this place of right and wrong, and then slowly develop and look for opportunities. Now that your monarch has been exterminated by the cavalry of Great Qin, our prince wants to take over this Mauryan Dynasty in a few years, and then exterminate all the generals and officials and Huns of Great Qin, how about your high-ranking caste or high-ranking caste, low-level caste or low-level caste? ”

Now these people of the high caste are unacceptable, and it is natural that the Great Qin has done a one-size-fits-all approach among the people of the Mauryan Empire, confiscating all of his resources, and suddenly doing it to the point where he doesn't know how to go hundreds of years ago, which is naturally difficult for those people of the high caste who have not suffered anything since they were young.

"Then I don't know what the prince can do now when Daqin's cavalry is about to roll in?"

"You need to do something for us, and if you do it well, you will have a place to live."

"Oh? I wonder what kind of place this place is? Now it can be said that the last thing these people know what to do is that they have nowhere to go, and they don't know where to run, and now Zhao Cheng suddenly said that there is a place, and this matter can be wrapped up in him, which naturally greatly attracted the attention of these two noble patriarchs.

"We still need to keep this matter a secret, as long as you can gather 30,000 people around here within a month, whether it is you or plus mercenaries, after a month, we can come and pick you up, let you stay away from Great Qin's iron cavalry for a while, and then slowly contact the people in the territory of the Peacock Empire who are dissatisfied with Great Qin's rule, and there will be a chance to defeat them after all."

Zhao Cheng said it mysteriously, and he didn't reveal his details to the two patriarchs, but such a vague statement made the two patriarchs even less suspicious of their words.

"30,000 people, although it is a bit difficult, but if the two of us can tell some other high-ranking castes about the matter of this Great Qin Prince, there is still some hope."

"Okay, if you can do this, when the January period comes, we will send someone to take away the men and horses you have gathered, but remember, everyone must bring resources to this city to assemble, if the movement is too big and is discovered by the generals of Great Qin, we will not be able to do anything!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai got up and were about to leave, as if their itinerary was very full and very anxious.

"Now that you've arrived in this city, it's natural to have a meal before leaving!"

At this time, these two patriarchs have already regarded a few of them as their saviors, and what they are thinking in their hearts is to take advantage of this opportunity to follow a few big names to get close, so that there will be more people gathered here in the future, and the status of the two of them will not be good.

As the liaison and convener of this operation, and Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were also appointed, it was finally gathered here at them, if the two of them didn't take advantage of this good opportunity, it would be a pity.

"It's okay, since you're so enthusiastic, I'll be disrespectful."

In fact, where is it disrespectful, a few of them have already made up their minds before they came, they haven't eaten well at all during this time, they just want to eat here today, everything before, that's just a routine, if Yinggao saw these two characters who managed a city in the Peacock Dynasty at the scene at this time being fooled by Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai like this, I'm afraid I really have to sigh: I can't keep the true feelings since ancient times, and I always have a routine to win people's hearts.

Whether it was Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng, or Zhao Hu, they were all real powerful figures in the Great Qin Realm before, and the top nobles in the Great Qin Realm, so although this meal was not less, it did not let the two nobles of the Peacock Dynasty see any flaws.

After eating, in the midst of the congratulations of the two patriarchs, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai and their party went out of the city.

With Zhao Hu here, they were naturally not afraid that they would send someone to follow them, and after going around a few times, they returned to the mountain forest where they stayed before.

"Childe, these people of the Peacock Dynasty really don't know much about my Great Qin, so in their hearts, Childe, as a prince, although he has broken with the emperor of Great Qin, his strength should not be underestimated, and in the next action, we can also take advantage of this, after all, these aliens are currently afraid of Great Qin, and they will definitely not delve into it."

"Sir, you mean, when the next step comes to the Seleucids, we can be more daring?"

"Yes, I think the monarch of Seleu will not be an idle person, I will wait to go, that is if I don't succeed, I will become benevolent, if I don't set my horizons a little higher, I'm afraid I won't be able to make him believe it!"

"Sir, rest assured, we now know that the place at the junction with the Seleuc was divided by the Great Qin to the Xiongnu, we still know what kind of virtue the Huns are, and dealing with the Xiongnu is much simpler than dealing with the Great Qin's Meng Tian, so it is no problem to fool the Seleu monarch with these things, and when our idea is realized, as long as we can hide from the Great Qin and the Xiongnu for a period of time, and then wait quietly to watch the play, after the big drama is over, we may not be able to make a profit."

What Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai discussed at this time was their next plan after they had finished the previous matter.

According to their plan, when they gained the trust of the two patriarchs and determined that they would really use their influence to recruit people to their city, they would immediately take advantage of the fact that the plague chaos had not yet dispersed in the territory of the Mauryan Empire and rush to Seleuc.

After they returned, Zhao Hu turned over and returned to the previous city, he wanted to see if the two patriarchs did what Zhao Cheng said, if they didn't dare to do it, everything would be in vain, even if they went to Seleuc, they would definitely be seen through by others in the end.

According to Zhao Hu's observation for a few days, after a few of them left, the two patriarchs really took action, sending many people to the surrounding cities that were not occupied by Great Qin, obviously to contact other high-ranking castes.

With such news, they were relieved, and on a moonlit night, the group rode Zhao Hu's horse fart from nowhere, and followed the direction pointed by the noble woman of the Peacock Dynasty, all the way to the direction of Seleuc.

Because many places have not yet been occupied by Daqin, and the territory allocated to the Xiongnu has not yet been spread out, so it is quite simple to ride a horse to Peacock Seleuc.

After running non-stop for more than ten days, they entered the territory assigned to the Xiongnu, and after another two days, they reached the border of the Seleucians and the Mauryan Empire.

In fact, the opposite side is Seleuc, which is still very easy to distinguish, because in the nearest city to the border, there are 30,000 or 40,000 Hun cavalry, obviously Xiang Yu still attaches great importance to the threat of this Seleuc.

And in the territory of Seleuc, there are also barracks from a distance, and you can see how tense both sides are.

At this time, Antiochus III was still very concerned about the situation in the territory of the Mauryan Empire, he had heard that the territory of the Mauryan Empire was directly divided into two by the Great Qin and the Xiongnu, and he also heard that the high-ranking castes of the Mauryan Empire were to be abolished.

As a neighbor and younger brother of the Mauryan Dynasty for many years, the Seleucus and the Mauryan Dynasty under the leadership of Antiochus III still have a lot of similarities, and now his big brother the Mauryan Dynasty has suffered such a thing, which really makes Antiochus III have a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

"Your Majesty, there are a few Great Qin people within the border between my Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty, claiming to be the younger brother of the current Great Qin Emperor, I have something to discuss directly with the Emperor, this group of people has now been controlled by my Seleuc's cavalry, how to deal with it, please also ask the Emperor for instructions."

Suddenly, one day, Antiochus III received such a message, he thought for a while, and directly ordered: "Bring these people to my palace, in that case, what does it matter if you see them?" ”

Antiochus III's psychology has long been in the hearts of Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, in this situation that has offended Daqin, suddenly there is a figure with the identity of Hu Hai, whether it is with the current Emperor of Daqin or not, seeing it is only good for Seleucus and no harm.

So they were taken to the capital of Seleuc.

Compared with the size of the Seleucid Empire, it was still more than twice as small, but what they saw along the way was also a rich scene, so Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai were more confident in the purpose of their trip.
