Although it is a joint column of the four countries, because it is only a cavalry, like the Wei State with only 2,000 cavalry, it is better to announce nothing when it is announced that it will attack Qin, so as not to leak the news. Cheng Jie was already the prime minister of Wei, and the transfer of the Wei army only required the consent of Wei Zeng, the king of Wei. Even if Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, was afraid of the Qin people and sent 2,000 cavalry to attack Qin under the banner of the Zhao army, he would agree.

Everyone in the world looks forward to peace, but to say that the Qin State destroyed the Six Kingdoms for the sake of peace in the world is a joke. After the five kingdoms conquered, the Qin state was already a dominant state, and the battle of Yan Ying captured the old Ying of the Chu state, which had an overwhelming advantage over the six countries of Kwantung. If the Qin State is really for the peace of the world, it can ally with the six countries of the Kwantung region and no longer attack, and whoever attacks will lead the countries to crusade against whom, and the world will be peaceful.

But why did Qin do this? What the king of Qin wants is land and merit, and what the generals want is heads and titles, what good is peace? For forty or fifty years, it has been the Qin State that has frequently provoked wars, conquered cities, and killed people. As long as the King of Qin can be killed, the Sanjin who bears the brunt of the battle will definitely cry with joy, and the two countries of Chu and Qi will also celebrate each other, so that the world can achieve a short period of peace.

Wei was afraid of annoying Qin, so he could let Zhao take the blame; The State of Qi was afraid of the State of Qin and could fight with the banner of the Zhao army; If the state of Chu is in the dynasty and will not allow it, the knights of each county can act privately; And Zhao State, if he kills the King of Qin, the Qin State will definitely retaliate in the future, but if he does not kill the King of Qin and disrupt the internal affairs of Qin, the Zhao State will be destroyed.

The Kwantung countries, which were deceitful and deceitful, were miraculously united because they were not retaliated by the Qin State because they sent troops and because they sent only a few thousand troops. This is naturally Xiong Jing's credit, if it weren't for his threat to attack the Wei State, if he hadn't pulled out Linzi and killed or expelled the pro-Qin forces of the Qi State, if it weren't for the fact that he missed a woman, things wouldn't have developed to this point.

Of course, even Xiang Yan didn't know the last point, only the clear-minded Lu Gao knew the king's thoughts. And the reason why Lu Gao accepted the king's order, in addition to planning to attack Qin, the rest was to remember Qi Qian.

He is more sober than Lu Qian, even if Lu Qian heard that Mi Qian gave birth to Fusu, the eldest son of the King of Qin, he still wanted to 'save' Mi Qian back to Chu. But the reality is always cruel, the two people who entered Xianyang City as Di people didn't even see a corner of their clothes except for seeing the Xianyang Royal City and the temple maid who saw the Qin Palace. As for offering treasures to see King Qin, perhaps it was the will of heaven, and that panfeng Linglong was broken before it reached Xianyang.

"Coming to Yanmen?" The vast grassland stretches to the end of the sky, and the terrain is not completely flat, with many small hills under the thick meadows. Seeing that there was a shepherd grazing in the distance, Lu Gao couldn't help but ask the guide.

"Your nobleman, you are indeed going to Yanmen." Last year, the guide assigned by Li Mu was an annoying building, with a bracket collar and full of beard.

"Alas!" Seeing that Lu Chan was still looking like he was not giving up, Lu Gao shouted at him, and Lu Chan, who had lost hope, just looked at him, turned his head randomly, and looked at the two black dots in the distance.

"Qin people?!" With Lu Xuan's gaze, Lu Gao was slightly surprised in his heart. A month ago, they had planned to enter the fortress from the clouds, but they didn't expect that the Qin army had pulled out Yunzhong County, and the Qin army scouts chased them for dozens of miles before finally retreating.

"Alert!" Sensing the danger, Lu Chan shouted at the armor behind him, and the sound of 'choking' and drawing the knife continued.

"It's Zhao Jun." In Lu Lijing's vision, Lu Gao saw that it was Zhao Jun who was coming. The armor of the Qin army and the Zhao army were different, and the weapons were also different. The cavalry of the Qin army mostly used crossbows, and the cavalry of the Zhao army used bows. Specific to the arrows are also different, the Qin army's arrows are cast in bronze, which resembles three edges, which are incomparable; The Zhao army's arrowhead is also cast in bronze, but the arrow is two-winged, and the collar behind the arrow is made of iron, which is lighter than the Qin army's three-edged arrowhead, so the range is longer and the armor-piercing ability is weaker.

Lu Gao said that it was Zhao Jun, and although Lu Xun heard it, he kept holding a knife in his hand, waiting for the Zhao Jun knight who was coming. The knights circled around them for half a circle, and finally a man who looked like a horse general stepped forward and saluted, and asked, "The last general is the horse guard under the command of the Marquis of Wu'an, dare to ask if it is Lu and Lu?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Gao came back and bowed, signaling Lu Qian to put away the knife. "I don't know what General Ma is doing to welcome me from afar?"

"The king of Chu has instructed the Marquis of Wu Anhou to send someone to greet the two of them in person." Ma Wei squeezed out some smiles, very stiff.

"Oh?" Lu Gao was a little surprised in his heart. There will be no more than four people who know about the reconnaissance plan in the whole Chu country, but I didn't expect Li Mu to know about it too. "What about you? Did the Qin army retreat? ”

"Never." A trace of bitterness flashed in Ma Wei's eyes, Zhao Guo was in danger.

When he received the order to go north, the Qin generals Meng Wu and Yang Duanhe had already led their troops to pull out Yi'an and confront the northern Zhao army led by Wu'an Hou on the south bank of Hutuo River. However, although the Zhao army crossed the Hutuo water, it did not save Yi'an, and when the Qin army attacked Yi'an, 150,000 Zhao troops stepped up their fortifications, and the Zhao army barrier was also built after Yi'an was pulled. The decisive battle was what the Qin army wanted, but the Zhao army could not hold out and did not fight a decisive battle. More than 200,000 Qin troops were immediately pinned down by the Zhao army.

"The Qin people are vicious!" Lu Gao scolded. I heard from the merchant travelers of the Sai that the Qin army began to attack Zhao in the middle of last year, and is still attacking Zhao. In such a fierce battle, it is no longer the courage of the soldiers, but the national strength of the entire country. Compared with the Qin State, the Kwantung States are like counties and counties, and they can't consume the Qin State in such a way, and they will be dragged down one day.

Lu Gao's curse made Ma Wei and these Zhao knights feel a trace of warmth in their hearts, and they naturally guarded the sides of the caravan. Ma Wei said: "This is still two hundred miles away from Fuyang, please go with me quickly." ”

"Frustrated?" Lu Gao knew that Fuyang was there, and it was no longer Yanmen County, but the old Yandi. In the past, Fuyang turned over Juyongsai, which was the Jicheng Plain contained in Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom.

"Yes." Ma Wei nodded heavily, "The big boat of Chu is about to arrive in Xiangzhou, and you can board the boat and return to Chu." ”

"Is that so?" Lu Gao and Lu Qian glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that the sea boat of Chu State could also sail to Yandi.

It was also a last resort for the sea boat of Chu to sail to Yandi. After the May Mountain Ghost left Fahrenheit, it waited at the port of Arakan Kuran for the Gluttony to go west to Persia until August, when it was too late.

Of course, the captain of the ship cannot be blamed for the lack of hooks, but only the capital of the Seleucid Empire is in Antioch, which is located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea on the border between present-day Turkey and Syria. From the Persian Gulf to Antioch, the distance is more than 1,300 kilometers. Such a long distance, if it were other countries, it would be estimated that it would take half a year or even a year, and then the Persian Empire was the Persian Empire after all. In order to transport seafood from the Aegean Sea to the capital Susa (present-day Khuzestan Province in Iran) within three days, the empire built 2,400 kilometers of imperial roads with more than 100 post stations along the route.

From the port of Wublay in the Persian Gulf (al-Ubulla; That is, the so-called Black Thorn State after the Tang Dynasty) landed, Wugou Chang revealed his identity (mainly giving a rich gift), that is, he was sent to Antioch by officials.

At this time, the Seleucid Empire had just ended three wars. The first is the Third Syrian War. On the other side of the war was Ptolemy III of Egypt. His sister Bellenici was the wife of Antiochus II, whose son was about to ascend the throne after the death of Antiochus II, but before Ptolemy III left for Antiochus, the mother and son were assassinated and succeeded by Seleucus II;

The second was a civil war. Seleucus II ascended the throne under the auspices of his mother, Laurith I, but Laurius I wanted his son to give his brother Antioch Ieras co-regency and the right to govern Anatolia in the Seleucid realm. Seleucus II refused, and a civil war broke out.

The third was with the leader of the nomadic tribe of Pani, Arshak I. Andragoras, the governor of the Parthian region of the Empire, was killed, and the Empire had to make peace with Arshak I in order to deal with the civil war with all its might.

Silk was a luxury, and Seleucus II did not approach the envoys of Chu at first, until he discovered the value of the armor brought by Wu Gouchang, and he was not interviewed by Seleucus II. Soon Seleucus II made the decision to send envoys to the easternmost state of Chu. And as a gift in return, at the request of the unhooked chief, more than a dozen stallions were sent out of the stables of the empire.

Arriving at Arakan Kuram in August, and hastily replenishing fresh water and fresh vegetables, the reunited Red Ocean fleet set anchor. Unlike when I left, I returned to the Sea of Bengal during the storm season. Relying on the barometer and accurate judgment of the pattern of tropical hurricanes, the fleet entered the Strait of Malacca without danger and arrived at the port of Panyu in early September.

The fleet was loaded with four envoys, and the belly of the Tao Tao was filled with gold and silver coins obtained from trade, which were to be transported to Zhao to stabilize the price of Zhao according to the agreement of the four countries, so the fleet did not stop at the port of Panyu, but went north again.
