"Withdraw! Withdraw to the city and say more! ”

After the red in his eyes gradually faded, Antiochus III finally gave a normal order, which was equivalent to slapping his face, but there was no way that the cavalry of the Great Qin had indeed regained their previous ability, and if they did not withdraw it, they would lose a lot of manpower.

In the face of such a Great Qin cavalry, the Seleucian army no longer has the momentum to die with them before, because even if they want to die with others now, they won't give them such a chance, right?

A retreat made everyone's hearts breathe a sigh of relief, in their opinion, Daqin's army didn't know why, it was full of evil, how could a cavalry team be powerful for a while, and then it would be reduced to mediocrity, but it was also this evil nature that made them regain their confidence and fall into the abyss again.

"This time, the Seleucians lost their blood, they didn't even look for our trebuchets, and when they saw that they were invincible, they immediately withdrew, which is not very consistent with their style all along!"

Seeing that the Seleucians suddenly withdrew like a tide regardless of their own casualties, Han Xin was very puzzled by this, he thought that this was not the same as the Seleucians he had known before, before he and Meng Tian were counting on the Great Qin under their command to consume some more enemy lives because of the Seleuc's spirit of not being afraid of death, but now it seems that their wish cannot be realized.

If Daqin's cavalry had followed the enemy all the way to their hinterland, it was very likely that they would have directly destroyed the city, but they did not do so.

Because on the other side of the river, it must be full of traps, although the Seleucians can pass unharmed, but Han Xin and Meng Tian almost dare to guarantee that if their own men and horses want to go over like that, the casualties will definitely not be small.

As a result, Daqin's cavalry only pursued to the side of the moat, and did not continue the pursuit under the orders of Han Xin and Meng Tian, allowing the enemy to retreat after leaving a lot of corpses.

After successfully returning to the city, Antiochus III did not have the pain of the city being destroyed, but a contemplative face.

"Your Majesty, our army is not the enemy's opponent, if they really keep attacking our city gate with that damn trebuchet, the city gate will be breached sooner or later, and once the city gate is broken, we will not be able to defend this city!"

Seeing that Antiochus III no longer had the same enthusiasm as before, his cronies hurriedly told him about the current situation, wanting his king to make a decision favorable to Seleucus as soon as possible.

"Yes, now we are afraid that we really can't defend this city, Your Majesty, it is better for us to organize the people in the city to flee to other cities from now on to defend it, rather than losing all my elite cavalry of Seleus here!"

At this time, even the generals who had been persuading Antiochus III to attack Great Qin began to persuade him to retreat, because this situation was already visible to everyone.

After being silent for a long time, Antiochus III finally looked up at the generals under his command, with a painful look on his face, and then said: "In addition to blindly retreating and escaping, and finally being wiped out by the cavalry of Great Qin little by little, we have another way. ”

"What's the solution?"

As soon as they heard Antiochus III say that he still had a way, several people under his command quickly got up and asked Antiochus III together, after all, they were now in a proper desperate situation.

"Open the city gates and surrender to Great Qin."

In just eight words, almost squeezed out of Antiochus III's teeth, surrender, these two words were never thought of by the Seleucian generals, and they always thought that even if they wanted to surrender, a monarch like Antiochus III would not surrender, but today, these words were the first to come out of Antiochus III's mouth, which made the people under his command very uncomfortable.

For a while, the court of Seleuc was silent, and everyone didn't know how to say it for a while, and when their monarch said such a thing, didn't it make everyone lose the strength to fight anymore, and they didn't know how to deal with such a situation for a while.

At this time, a man stepped forward, the same guard who had warned Antiochus III about the letter on the battlefield.

He kept a few generals who were usually involved in decision-making, and dismissed some less important generals, and he knew that there were some things, if Antiochus III really thought so in his heart, it must be that the fewer people who knew it, the better.

When there were only a few of Antiochus III's cronies left in the room, Antiochus III finally spoke again.

"Our Seleuc has reached this point, if we forcibly fight with Great Qin again, I am afraid that not only will our army be lost, but also our people will suffer! So the time has come when we have to make a decision. ”

After hearing this, everyone was still silent for a while, they all knew that Antiochus III's statement was correct, but such a result was really not acceptable to them.

"Now the only way to save the remaining army and people of my Seleu is to surrender to Great Qin, but after surrendering Great Qin, Great Qin will definitely adopt the same strategy as when I was on the territory of the Mauryan Empire, but it will take a long process for them to completely occupy our territory and control our people, and in this process, this is where our opportunity lies!"

At this time, Antiochus III could be regarded as having finished his words, and as soon as he said this, everyone under his command understood, to put it bluntly, this surrender was just a last resort, and after surrendering, Antiochus III must still have a lot of follow-ups.

"Do you remember that my Seleuc once came to me with an envoy who claimed to be an envoy of a very powerful dynasty......

In the face of his cronies, Antiochus III also had no thoughts to hide, and told some of his thoughts to his cronies as soon as possible, after all, these are generals who have followed him several times from birth to death, and some of his follow-up things also need to be done by people who are really trustworthy.

After all, after surrendering, I don't know where I want to go, and there are some things that must be explained clearly now.

According to previous rumors, the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty, Relic Loser, has been imprisoned in Xianyang City, the capital of Great Qin, by the monarch of Great Qin, Yinggao, and Antiochus III doesn't know if he will end up being the same as Relic Loser, but after experiencing the soldiers under his command being killed by the warriors of Great Qin, Antiochus III doesn't pay much attention to his ending.

Han Xin and Meng Tian didn't care how the Seleuces communicated in their city, they had been attacking each other's city gates with trebuchets after the enemy had retreated, and they knew that as long as they could break the city gates, the last confidence of the Seleucians would be completely shattered, and at that time, it would be time for them to fight in one go.

But a few hours later, Han Xin and Meng Tian received the news that surprised them very much, a Seleucian cavalry ran out of the side gate of their city, and informed Han Xin and Meng Tian of something.

That is, the monarch of Seleucus, Antiochus III, already knew that the soldiers under his command would definitely not be able to defeat the cavalry of Great Qin, so he had no choice but to surrender to Great Qin, and his only requirement was that the Great Qin people could not kill their soldiers at will after occupying Seleucus, let alone implement the strategy of slaughtering the city to the people.

These two conditions were very easy for Han Xin and Meng Tian to meet, after all, they had not carried out any indiscriminate killing of innocents when they attacked the Peacock Dynasty before.

In this way, even if Han Xin's task was completed very satisfactorily ahead of schedule, such an ending was a way that neither he nor Meng Tian expected. It was as if their punch had suddenly landed on the soft cotton.

One day after March, a very important news came from Xianyang City, which was directly sent to Yinggao, and it was the most urgent news sent by Han Xin.

When Yinggao opened the news, his hands were still a little trembling, because he didn't know if Han Xin would be able to complete his entrustment, once Han Xin didn't complete it, he would still give Han Xinyuan this matter, after all, he couldn't abandon him, right?

But after opening this letter, Yinggao's expression suddenly became very rich, but after reading this letter, he also fell into deep thought.

This is, of course, a letter from Han Xin and Meng Tian reporting the situation, which explains in detail the whole process of their attack on Seleucus, and of course includes the sudden surrender of Antiochus III after an unsuccessful raid out of the city.

Although if the Seleucus did not surrender, it would almost certainly be lost in the end, but this battle was still fought, and it was impossible for the army of Great Qin to take the Seleus with such a small loss, after all, there were still more than 100,000 elite soldiers under Antiochus who had not been used.

Han Xin's letter has also made it very clear that this time, according to Antiochus III's own words, he surrendered Daqin in order to save the Seleucian army and the people from suffering, and his conditions are also very tough, that is, you Daqin cannot take the lives of the Seleucian army and the people at will.

Now that several important cities in Seleucus have been controlled by Great Qin, Great Qin is still very hesitant to deal with Antiochus III and Seleuc's sergeants, so he will inform Yinggao of this matter as quickly as possible, after all, a figure like Antiochus III should still be decided by Yinggao himself.

After reading the letter, Ying Gao stayed in the main hall for a long time, and he did not inform his cronies of the good news, but first called his own guard to the front, and after giving some words in his ear, the guard went on his own.

This is the third year that Relic Yijia has lived in Xianyang City in Daqin, he has fully adapted to the life of Daqin, and he has married two Daqin women who are both very good-looking.

And as he learned about Daqin's culture and some other things, he knew that these two women were actually selected by Yinggao to marry him because they couldn't have children.

Of course, Yinggao really didn't hide these things from him, and the relics were very understandable, after all, if he was Yinggao, he himself might have become a pile of bones and scum.

In the past few years, the relics have witnessed the tolerance of Daqin, and now they have found that many people of the Peacock Dynasty with the same face as him have come to live in the territory of Daqin, which was absolutely unimaginable before, but now, the emperor of Daqin has accepted them, and the people of Daqin have also accepted them, they can freely trade goods with the people of Daqin, they can rest in the post house of Daqin, and they can also eat in the restaurants of Daqin.

This kind of change makes the relics themselves very comfortable, after all, he will no longer be regarded as an outlier by the people of Great Qin, and now that he has learned the language of Great Qin, in such a city, he can already rely on himself to support himself.

At this point, the only regret that Shili Yijia has is that he will probably not have his own children, which is an absolute taboo for the emperor of Daqin, although even if he has a child, he will not be a purebred Peacock Dynasty, he dares to let the emperor of Daqin give him another wife, but he wants to have a child, he will never dare to mention it to Yinggao, after all, he is also a monarch, and he understands these things in his heart.

But on this day, all of a sudden, there was a guard in the Xianyang Palace of Great Qin outside his door, not to mention anything else, he said that the emperor of Great Qin was invited, and then he stood outside the door without moving.

As soon as he heard that Yinggao was fine, he was looking for himself, his legs trembled, and his heart said that this is not that he is no longer interested now, so the emperor of Daqin is ready to kill himself directly, and at this time, such an ordinary person will not attract anyone's attention.

But if you don't go, then you will directly violate Daqin's Qin law, and people will be able to kill themselves on the spot.
