Chapter 637: Surrender
As soon as the generals sent by Philip V heard Yinggao's words, they immediately knew that Daqin didn't want to send troops to help them at all, or that they originally wanted to send troops, but seeing that the Macedonian cavalry was repeatedly defeated at the hands of the Romans, Daqin felt that this combat effectiveness was not as good as my own, so he simply prepared to give up Rome.
The general did not dare to delay, and told Yinggao that he would do his best to persuade Philip V when he returned, and then left in a hurry.
Philip V's really bad days have finally come, he has always existed in this vast land as an attacker, but now, his territory has been very seriously threatened, the place where the Romans attacked at the beginning has been attacked by the Romans, once the Romans go further, they will reach Macedonia proper, and once they arrive at the mainland, if they can't stop their attack, it will be like a bamboo, no matter who can control it.
After the general returned to Philip V, although he saw Philip V's eager gaze, he still knew that the sooner he told Philip V about this matter, the better, so he could only tell Philip V directly about his experience in the Seleucid realm.
"What? The emperor of Great Qin actually arrived here? So, am I really going to die? ”
For Philip V, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to think in his heart.
According to the current situation, if the Great Qin had no idea about the place outside the Seleuc, the emperor of Great Qin would never have come here, and the news that the emperor of Great Qin had arrived here naturally did not know the Romans, so they were still attacking the territory of Macedonia regardless of casualties, according to the attack method of the Romans, it would obviously not take much time to take many cities in Macedonia, this is not a question of whether Philip V was determined to defend his territory, But on the frontal battlefield he was no longer able to compete with the Romans, and in the present situation, as long as they saw a battle, it would have been Philip V who had been defeated, and no one else.
If Philip V forcibly came with the Romans and used all his troops, he might still fail, but the Romans would not be good, although they would take a lot of Macedonia's territory, but in the end it would be Daqin who would benefit.
As a result, Philip V himself was finished, and the Romans did not get the benefits they wanted, and in the end, the three great powers could only leave one Great Qin.
But if you don't do this, if you tell the Romans about the plans of the Great Qin people, if the Romans don't believe in themselves, they won't be human on either side.
In this way, the most secure decision for him to be able to give himself the greatest possibility to live well is to follow Yinggao's idea and directly declare his allegiance to Yinggao.
But Philip V is one of the few monarchs of this era, of course, he also wants to save face, and he suddenly made such a huge Macedonia a subordinate of Great Qin, of course he was very reluctant in his heart.
So he didn't immediately agree to Yinggao's request, but led his army to fight the Romans for another day, and in his mind, what if the Romans retreated during this day?
In case he repelled the Romans with his own strength, Daqin, as his ally, would definitely not be able to attack himself at this time, which would have a very bad impact on Daqin's reputation.
But although the Romans didn't know about Daqin's attack on Philip V, they would definitely not act according to Philip V's ideas, not to mention that the Romans had already taken the initiative, and there was no reason to retreat at all, even if they knew that Daqin was behind Macedonia, they must also want to compare with the Daqin people, not run back after knowing about it, after all, after this battle, Rome and Daqin are the two biggest forces in the world, and there will be a war between them sooner or later, so the psychological advantage must be something that no matter who wants to grasp.
Of course, Philip V didn't want to wait until he was completely exhausted to find Yinggao, and at that time, he would have no use value for Great Qin.
Therefore, while continuing to be suppressed by the Romans, Philip V finally decided that in order to avoid the destruction of the Macedonian Empire in his own hands, he was willing to become a subordinate of Great Qin, after all, he had been proven several times to have no advantage in the hands of the Romans.
Of course, he can't leave the battlefield himself, the war is already very strenuous, if he leaves at this time, there will definitely be many people under his command who think that he has escaped from the battle, if that's the case, by the time the soldiers of the Great Qin arrive, I am afraid that a large part of Macedonia's territory has already fallen into the hands of the Romans.
He still sent the person he sent before, after all, he knew what the emperor of Great Qin was like, and he also knew the attitude of the Great Qin Emperor, and then wrote a letter by himself, in which he basically stated that he found that his ability was really not comparable to the Romans after several attacks and defenses, and if this continued, his Macedonia would definitely fall into the hands of the Romans, so in order to protect the people and territory of Macedonia, he was willing to become a subordinate of Great Qin and declared his submission to Yinggao, I only hope that Yinggao can send troops this time, and they will drive the Romans back to their hometown together.
The letter was quickly delivered to Seleuc, and Yinggao was naturally waiting for Philip V's reply, if Philip V's attitude was good, Daqin really wouldn't have much chance to destroy people directly, but if Philip V's attitude was not good, Yinggao would be able to wreak havoc on Macedonia's territory.
After the generals under the command of Philip V arrived, they immediately gave Philip V's letter to Yinggao, Yinggao saw that this matter was the same as he had expected before, Philip V was a person with a certain brain, he would definitely not play tricks with himself at this time, and the result could only be Macedonia perish within a few days.
Since everyone's attitude is so good, Yinggao certainly has to show his strength as a big brother, but this time he definitely doesn't want to show what kind of strength he is in front of the Romans, since the fact that Daqin has stationed ten cavalry in Seleu is a well-known thing, Yinggao naturally sent 100,000 troops to help Philip V solve this trouble.
The 100,000 army was still led by Meng Tian, although the Romans should not know much about the situation of Daqin here, but whether it was Yinggao or Han Xin, Yinggao felt that there was no need to show up in this battle.
"Your Majesty, this time I have to take my men and horses with General Meng Tian, I haven't seen how much ability the Romans have, otherwise, this time it will be in vain!"
After Yinggao was basically arranged, Tian Yan came behind him, Tian Yan came this time, people are basically fighting, and Yinggao also promised her before, and she will definitely let her go to the battlefield.
But now facing the Roman cavalry who are beating the Macedonians with a blue nose and swollen face, if Tian Yan goes at this time, Yinggao's heart is really a little bottomless.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Meng Tian's old and dignified face, and said seriously: "I have already handed over the position of commander of this army to General Meng Tian, if you want to go, then it must be General Meng Tian's approval!" ”
Meng Tian looked at it and said that it had nothing to do with me, but he didn't have any way, who made Jia Yinggao the emperor, since he was the emperor, of course he could throw the pot to whoever he wanted.
But Meng Tian is still very upright, Tian Yan has a habit, that is, to chase after Daqin's generals to test kung fu and discuss tactics, these days in the territory of Seleuc, she and Meng Tian really have a lot of tests, so for Tian Yan's ability, Meng Tian still has a number in his heart.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Mrs. Tian Yan's ability is not below me, this time with Mrs. Tian Yan going with me, my Daqin's cavalry will be like a tiger with wings, and it will definitely be able to beat the Romans to the head!"
Yinggao knew that Meng Tian was not the one who was the one who said nothing, he said that Tian Yan's ability was enough, Tian Yan's ability should definitely be no errand, and since Meng Tian had agreed to this matter, it also showed that he must be confident that he could protect Tian Yan, so Yinggao really put a snack.
"Good! Since General Meng Tian has said so, I will naturally agree, but you have to bring the two hundred guards that you have been carrying to the battlefield, and you can't be separated from the two hundred of them, as for me in Seleuc, it is enough to have General Han Xin. ”
Tian Yan saw that Yinggao finally agreed to send his troops, not to mention how happy he was at that time, he was busy agreeing to the two conditions proposed by Yinggao, for fear that Yinggao would regret it after a while.
Yinggao was actually a little worried in his heart, afraid that Philip V would not withstand the final attack of the Romans and let the main cities of Macedonia fall, in that case, after Meng Tian's army arrived, it would not be to help defend, but to take the lost city of Philip V, which was not ordinary.
On the other hand, Meng Tian's army of 100,000 was prepared early in the morning, so on the day of the arrival of Philip V's envoy, Meng Tian and Tian Yan set off.
For Tian Yan, although Yinggao is also very aware of her strength, but after all, she has not participated in such a tragic war, Yinggao is still very worried in her heart, but for the last battlefield, she didn't even give birth to a child, which is enough to see that this is Tian Yan's pursuit in this life, in this case, if Yinggao doesn't agree again, in case Daqin is really accidentally unified in the future, it will be a bit too much, this regret is too big for Tian Yan.
Philip V knew that with his own letter, which was equivalent to surrender, Yinggao would definitely send troops, as long as Daqin sent troops, it would not be difficult to drive out the Romans who were already a little exhausted, but the real difficult thing was how Daqin would arrange himself after driving the Romans out.
It didn't take long for Philip V to receive the news, which left him with no idea whether he should be happy or depressed, and the Seleuc commander Meng Tian arrived with 100,000 horses.
100,000 Great Qin cavalry, repelling the Romans is certain, and Philip V knows that his task will be completed by this time.
On the other hand, the Roman consuls, he always had a feeling that he would be able to completely defeat Philip V immediately, but Philip V was able to stumble and defuse his offensive every time, he knew that Philip V would definitely not be able to stumble and escape every time, and there would be a time when Philip V would fall under the iron hooves of their Roman army.
But he didn't wait for this day, but waited for an enemy he didn't want to see at this time, the Great Qin cavalry.
Previously, according to the idea of the Roman consuls, it was very likely that the Great Qin people would send troops and horses to rescue when they had just begun to attack Seleuc, if that was the case, they would be finished if they couldn't attack and retreat, and there would not be much loss, but now that the cavalry of Great Qin is coming, isn't it just coming to harvest.
This can only show one problem, that is, Daqin and Philip V are not completely good friends, according to the current result, after defeating the Romans, there may not be any kind of story between Daqin and Macedonia.
But the personality of the Romans is not going to be withdrawn just like that, and the current Macedonia is almost a fat meat that is about to reach their mouths for them, and it is really a bit difficult for them to spit it out like this, isn't it?
Wars often happen under such circumstances, after Daqin's cavalry arrived, they didn't do any sneak attacks at all, and directly began to attack the Romans' camp, which had the meaning of attacking the Romans.
Meng Tian knew that the Romans were already very tired at this time, and the reason why they attacked at this time was because he wanted to see how much advantage Daqin's cavalry could take advantage of the Romans in such a situation, if they couldn't beat it at this time, it would not be a good phenomenon.
