Chapter 633: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

The enmity between Daqin and the Romans is the situation that Philip V wants to see the most at this time, and it is the most perfect thing in Philip V's heart to get the land he has always wanted through the enmity between Daqin and the Romans.

When he received this letter from Yinggao, Philip V was most fortunate that he had summoned all the people who had been planted in the various cities of Seleuc, otherwise if his behavior was also known by Daqin, he would definitely have classified himself into the group of Daqin's enemies.

What Philip V didn't know was that he had obviously fallen into the trap of Great Qin by doing so, and the reason why he had such an idea was that Great Qin would take the lead in sending troops, and once there was an army in such a thing, it would obviously make it very easy for the other party to gain trust.

And Daqin is not anything else, but directly to attack the younger brother of the Romans, before Philip V went to attack Egypt, Egypt was not the younger brother of the Romans at that time, but the Romans still sent troops in order to prevent Philip V from entering the Mediterranean region, or the Roman consul personally led the troops to kill Philip V.

Now, if Daqin goes to directly attack other people's younger brothers, but the Romans don't come to the rescue, it will obviously affect the trust of the Romans' younger brothers in Rome, in case the younger brother of Rome directly turns to Daqin, then Rome doesn't have to play, the reason why they can eat and drink spicy food on the Roman mainland is because their younger brothers block a lot of damage to them on the periphery of Roman territory.

The reason why Yinggao set this strategy is obviously because he has studied the psychology of the Romans and Philip V, and what he wants to play is this time difference, because Philip V will not send people to stare at the extent to which he attacks the Romans' younger brother, and the scale of this is actually controlled by Meng Tian and Fusu themselves.

After the people sent by Philip V went to the top of the Seleuc territory, they received a very accurate reply from Meng Tian, and the cavalry of Great Qin would definitely send the real elite to attack the younger brother of the Romans according to what Yinggao and Philip V said before.

And at that time, Meng Tian also pointed out in detail to Philip V's subordinates which force he was going to attack, and after Philip V's people received Meng Tian's assurance, they happily returned to Philip V's territory and reported what they saw to Philip V, which naturally made Philip V more relieved.

When it came to the day set by Yinggao and Philip V to attack the younger brother of the Romans, Meng Tian really set out from Seleuc with an army of 50,000.

Such a big move, both Philip V and the Romans had already received the news when Seleu's men and horses set off, but the reactions of the two sides were different, Philip V knew what Daqin's men and horses were doing, so he went back directly to prepare for his own attack on Egypt, and the Roman consuls thought a lot more after receiving this news.

He didn't have the same preconceived ideas as Philip V, after all, they had never had any communication with Great Qin.

"Did Great Qin really only send 50,000 men and horses?"

"That's right, and the Great Qin people seem to have executed a few of our Roman fine sacrificial flags in Great Qin before they set off."

"Oh? From this point of view, this seems to be an irrational move made by Great Qin in anger, and now the emperor of Great Qin is not in Seleu, and Seleu only has 100,000 cavalry, so even if half of the troops are dispatched, if they come directly to attack our Rome, Great Qin is too self-sufficient, have you ever asked, is there a shadow of the Huns or Philip V in this. ”

"That's not true, only Daqin's 50,000 cavalry are coming in our direction."

The Roman consuls had obviously known that Daqin was not a force that would attack casually through several previous actions of Daqin, but this time, it seemed to be a bit of a moth to the fire, and the posture did make him not know what Daqin wanted to do.

Because the periphery of Rome is full of his younger brother's forces, the Roman consuls are not worried about what kind of waves can be made on his territory by the 50,000 people of Great Qin, but the feeling in his heart is that the 50,000 horses of Great Qin are very likely to be a bait, and the real purpose is not these 50,000 people.

After thinking of this layer, he did not directly send out the elite soldiers of Rome, but directly told the forces in front of them that they must block Daqin's men and horses for a period of time, because he believed that once Daqin's men and horses attacked a place relatively close to Rome, their horses and feet would basically leak out.

What he thought of was actually exactly what Yinggao wanted him to think of, because only when he thought of this, Yinggao's plan could be regarded as a real success, Yinggao of course also made preparations with both hands, he had even told Meng Tian a long time ago, if he was facing a real Roman elite soldier after he arrived, then there was no need to say anything, just run back and be done, this time Yinggao's goal can be achieved, but if his goal cannot be achieved, it can't be at the expense of the lives of any Great Qin soldiers, right?

This is Yinggao's cleverness, before he wants to do anything, he must first throw himself out, so that the enemy will naturally not have any great suspicion.

At the same time, when Meng Tian's army set off, Yinggao had already begun to make preparations in Xianyang City, and in another three or four months, Meng Tian would definitely come back with news, once this plan was successful, if the Romans and Philip V fought again on the borders of Egypt, he would rush to Seleuc, and follow the last group of men and horses he sent to Seleuc, accompanied by Han Xin and a group of young generals of Daqin, as well as Tian Yan.

On this day, Yinggao and Han Xin, Tian Yan and the three of them were in a negotiation, they were determining some of the final details of this war, although there is still a lot of time with this war, but what to do first, what to do later must be prepared, Yinggao knows that Seleu is very far away from Daqin, once he goes, then he will definitely not be able to stay for two or three years and then come back, so there will definitely be a lot of changes in the territory of Daqin, Therefore, Yinggao set the time for himself to stay in the territory of Seleu within one year, in other words, half a year from Yinggao to Seleuc, once there is a large-scale war, at least Yinggao must see a great chance of victory, otherwise, he will go in vain this time.

A year seems to be a long time, but in this era, there are no cars and no airplanes, and the fastest means of transportation is war horses, so there is a lot of time wasted on the road, and the same is true of war.

"Does the king really want to finish his work in one battle, and wipe out both Macedonia and Rome in one fell swoop? The risk of doing so is very high, and if a bad one is found, and they join forces, it is still unknown whether we can resist it. ”

This is not the first time that Han Xin has questioned Yinggao's plan. He always felt that Yinggao was a little too hasty if he wanted to eat a fat man in one breath at this time.

"So we have to break them one by one, the most important thing is to cause the main force of their two sides in Egypt again, if Philip V falls in the same place three times, he will not want to defeat the Romans again in his life, so this time, he will definitely go all out, what we have to do is when he goes all out to a certain extent, lightly stab him in the back, so that our enemy is left with only one Rome, one-on-one situation, Naturally, our Great Qin is not afraid of the Romans. ”

By this time, Yinggao's plan was already very obvious, this time fooling Philip V to fight Egypt, in fact, the ultimate goal was to create an internal emptiness in Macedonia, and at a certain time, Yinggao would drive straight into Macedonia, so that Macedonia as a whole would become the defeated general of Daqin's subordinates, and the Romans would only win a tragic victory after Philip V's fight to the death, and after that they would have to face hundreds of thousands of troops of Daqin and the Huns, Of course, the results are all very beneficial to Great Qin.

This plan sounds not difficult, but it is very difficult to operate, no matter which step is wrong, it will not be able to get the result that Yinggao wants.

Seeing that Yinggao's mind had been decided, Han Xin didn't want to say anything, so he had been acting according to Yinggao's command since he became the general under Yinggao's command, and it turned out that Yinggao did not make a mistake.

Daqin is not like the Macedonia of Rome, their homeland has to rely on their own little brothers to protect, but Daqin's territory is relying on their own army, for Daqin, the worst result is that their plan completely failed, and was discovered by the Romans and Macedonians, in this case, the big deal Daqin will not want the Seleucians, nor the Mauryan Dynasty, all retreat to the boundaries within the Western Regions, and block the opening between the Western Regions and the Mauryan Empire, and it will be a hundred. If the enemy wants to attack the Western Regions, he still has to open the mountain, as long as Daqin stationes a team of men and horses on the edge of the mountain range in the Western Regions, it will definitely ensure that they will never break through the Western Regions.

It is precisely because of such a fact that Yinggao has no scruples, he knows that he has caught up with a very good era, if there is no such a mediocre monarch as Relic Yijia, he will definitely not be able to achieve such results today, the Mauryan Dynasty gave Yinggao a soil, a foundation, with this foundation, Yinggao can solve the not so weak Antiochus III, and solve the Antiochus III and weaken Philip V to a great extent, Philip V had to join forces with Ingau, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat his old enemy, Rome.

This series of chain reactions has caused both Philip V and Rome to be in a very awkward position, but they themselves cannot choose because of years of grudges, which is the source of this series of plans of Winco.

"Your Majesty, if we really stab Philip V in the back, as you said, wouldn't our Great Qin become a traitor?"

In this way, only the chivalrous Tian Yan can ask, Tian Yan has been approved by Yinggao before, and can participate in this war, so these few times Yinggao and Han Xin discussed countermeasures with her, before she rarely spoke because she didn't know much about this war, but this time, Tian Yan seemed to be a little unbearable, so she opened her mouth.

After listening to Tian Yan's words, Ying Gao also sighed slightly, and said: "If I were not the emperor of Great Qin, but a ranger in the realm of Great Qin, I would definitely be jealous and hateful, and I would not do such a thing, but now that I am the emperor of Great Qin, it should be for the sake of the people of Great Qin, for the sake of Great Qin's hegemony, although we are allies with Philip V, but once we expose our weaknesses, Philip V will also definitely stab us in the back at the first time, this is a war between dynasties and dynasties, there is only victory and defeat, there is no morality to talk about. ”

Tian Yan felt that this was the most serious time that Yinggao had spoken to herself in recent years, and she could naturally understand the meaning of Yinggao's words, so even though she felt a little unacceptable in her heart, she still nodded vigorously.

After the three of them discussed the matter of sending troops again, they dispersed, after all, it would take a short time for the news to be transmitted to the territory of Great Qin, and during this time, Yinggao still had to wait for news.

What happened before, almost the same as Yinggao's plan, when Meng Tian led his men to a small city attached to the Romans, he did not find any Roman elite soldiers, which made Meng Tian gradually begin to feel at ease, he did not blindly storm this city, but began to attack like grinding foreign workers, how to cause less damage to their side, how to come, anyway, it is just time here.

The news soon reached the ears of the Romans, and the Roman consuls felt more and more that it was a trap.
