The messenger's warning made the hall completely silent.

Even the guards who suddenly appeared outside the door, some anxious, stood still.

All the ministers of the Mauryan Empire had grim faces.

The rapid demise of the Kingdom of Bactria also surprised them a little.

But it's just surprise.

Compared with a small country, their Peacock Empire is not at the same level in terms of territory, national strength, and military strength.

This person would want to use the sudden appearance of a small nameless country as a reason to threaten them with troops?

It's too naïve to think about it.

A sneer rolled into the corner of the minister's mouth, and he just wanted to continue.

But who knows, Ashoka suddenly spoke.

"Do you think that Guishan can threaten my Peacock Dynasty?"

The sturdy man bent slightly in respect.

Then he spoke.

"It's indeed a threat, and it doesn't seem like much of a force that Antiochus III brought to support."

"But it is formed with the strength of the whole country, and it is where the confidence of its subjugation lies everywhere."

"In the end, it was all lost to Bactria in a matter of days."

"Although I don't know the details of this battle, I can also see that their enemies have the ability to crush."

"Such an ethnic group is not well-known, and it is enough to see that it is very ambitious."

"If we don't stop it now, let him arbitrarily intervene in the war in the west."

"Not only is it difficult for my Parthian kingdom to occupy more territory, but it is even difficult to guard against them."

Such a weak remark made everyone stunned for a moment.

I have never seen anyone who voluntarily admits that his country is weak.

But the man said again.

"With such a strong enemy on the side, it is difficult to make people feel at ease."

"Our country must only defend the city, and watch them expand westward again when the Seshugu completely collapses."

With that, he looked at the crowd.

"When they secure their territory, it will be even more difficult to guess how strong they will be."

"Anyway, my country will not dare to disobey at that time."

The messenger shook his head, as if he was very pessimistic about the future.

The ministers of the Mauryan Empire were puzzled.

These words make sense, but they have nothing to do with them, and they are not enough to send troops.

Then the man suddenly looked up.

"At that time, such a powerful Guishan, there will be only the Peacock Dynasty left around to fight against it."

"But the other party lives in the north, the terrain is condescending, and they are nomads."

"I'm afraid that the Mauryan Empire will continue to be harassed by it."

The solemn words made the powerful ministers and generals of the Mauryan Dynasty all look angry.

"He dares!"

The heavy drinking did not scare the man.

Instead, he continued to tell excitedly.

"Of course, with the strength of the Mauryan Dynasty, it will definitely be able to defeat the other party."

"With the might of Ashoka, he will also be able to deter the enemy."

"But at that time, how much will the Peacock Dynasty have to pay for a stable land of Guishan?"

The man frowned at the crowd, and then the tone of his words changed suddenly.

"But if the Mauryan Dynasty makes a move now."

"The Kushan are just a bunch of poor homeless worms."

"They have just taken over the country, and there are revolts everywhere."

"His Royal Highness Ashoka only needs to send some soldiers to the border, and Guishan will not dare to make the slightest move."

"At that time, I, Parthia, have annexed the territory on the eastern side of Seleucus, and the border is close to it."

"It will be the number one enemy they face."

"If they dare to provoke the Mauryan Empire in the slightest, our country will be enough to drive them back to the East."

"And ~ if Ashoka likes it, it's okay to take Bactria back!"

The last sentence finally made Ashoka's silent expression flash a glimmer of brilliance.

The messenger also gradually held his head high.

"For example, there is Rome in the west, and Carthage is constantly being conquered and expanding everywhere."

"There were three Ptolemaic attacks on Seleucus."

"Macedonia on the east side can't shrink, and in the south, Parthia rises strongly."

"Only the Mauryan Dynasty dominates the East, and its strength is strong but it is in a peaceful corner."

The more the envoy spoke, the more excited he became, pointing to the West.

"Then the Roman Republic attacked Carthage twice."

"The Carthaginian commander Hannibal led only 60,000 troops to dare to cross the Alps and invade Rome back."

"What about your country?"

"The Peacock Dynasty dominates the continent and has a million soldiers, but it only stops there, watching that Guishan gradually grow?"

The messenger took another step forward, and was only a few steps away from Ashoka above.

"In the world of great disputes, the countries are frequently fighting."

"Ashoka is a great talent and a great achievement."

"Do you believe that you are willing to be so dull for the rest of your life?"

"As long as Emperor Ashoka is willing to send troops to contain Kushan, when my Parthian kingdom is stable, I am willing to help him capture Bactria, so that there is no threat to your country."

The words of the messenger were finally understood by all the ministers.

He was exchanging the future Bactria for the current Mauryan Empire to send troops to contain Kushan.

The scene fell silent.

Ashoka finally raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"How many troops do you think Guishan needs to contain it?"

The messenger's face was overjoyed.

His right hand clenched suddenly, and he said excitedly.

"It doesn't take much, as long as we send 50,000 troops to Bactria, our country can safely march into Seleucus."

"Of course, if Ashoka is willing to send more troops and at the same time deter the Western countries."

"I, Parthia, will also be rewarded abundantly in the future."

"With the power of the Mauryan Empire, with the prestige of Ashoka."

"As long as troops are sent forward, not only Guishan, but also the Western countries will be very afraid."

"Who dares to stop what Ashoka is referring to?"

"Who dares to touch it?"

"This is where Alexander the Great stopped!"

The envoy's excited words made all the ministers in the palace feel a little proud.

Even Ashoka nodded in satisfaction.

"That's a good point."

"As the world's largest country, no one in my Peacock Dynasty has dared to disagree with what Bing Feng is referring to."

"Then send 80,000 troops!"

But the voice just fell.

Outside the temple gate, a man in ragged clothes ignored the guards and drew his sword to stop him.

Shouting in grief.

"Eighty thousand is not enough!"

"God-King! (Ashoka calls himself a favored person or friend of God, which is too awkward to refer to the god-king here.) ）”

"In the eastern Qin country, the number of troops that invaded our coastal tribes alone is more than 80,000."

"If you add its big ship, I'm afraid it's only a hundred thousand!"

The patriarch of Zhiti shouted desperately.

I don't care about the long knife that sits around my neck at my side.

The miserable words also succeeded in changing the faces of everyone in the hall.

The smile on Ashoka's face, which had just been touted by the messenger, turned into rage and murderous intent in an instant.

The patriarch of the Zhiti clan at the door was still shouting.

"I am a coastal tribe, and the other party suddenly invades without preparation."

"Not only did they forcibly occupy Mount Noa, but they also asked us to evacuate the seashore."

"We and the other small clan hurriedly sent someone to inform them that they had returned to the Peacock Dynasty."

"Already under the command of Emperor Ashoka!"

"But the Qin people didn't care about it, and after hearing it, they spoke even more viciously."

"If I haven't heard of your name, it's useless even if you go in person!"

"I'll tell them later, the Mauryan Empire is the largest country in the world."

"But they laughed and said that we were ignorant, and that Great Qin was the strongest dynasty in the world."

"God-King!"

"You're going to call the shots for us."

"You promised us and other tribes that there will be no more worries about war!"

"No more worries about being attacked by foreign tribes."

"But now, the Qin people are going to fight the entire coast."

"You only send 80,000 men, I'm afraid it's not enough to drive the enemy!"

The hysterical cry of the Zhiti patriarch made everyone in the temple look at him in shock.

"Qin?"

"Which country is Qin?"

Even the messenger's eyes widened for a moment.

Ashoka was already on his feet at this moment.

The envoy just said that no one in the Mauryan Dynasty dared to mess with him.

It didn't take a few breaths to be slapped in the face like this.

Ashoka's current expression was full of murderous intent.

And he made promises when he took over these small coastal states.

Tell them that the land has been completely occupied by the Mauryan Empire, and there will be no more wars in the future.

But how long has it been, and a small country that has never heard of it dares to invade the territory of the dynasty.

This is simply shaking the foundations of the dynasty.

At this moment, even the messengers were looking at each other.

For a while, he hesitated to stay or not.

The Mauryan Empire also seems to be taking care of itself.

Ashoka's face changed from cold to angry.

"Let him in!"

The words fell, and the guards finally put the Zhiti patriarch into the main hall.

Before he could get to the front, the patriarch of the Zhiti told all about the fiascos in the East.

However, the reason for the war became the active invasion of Great Qin.

Ashoka knew that there must be something wrong with this.

For example, the source of the big ship is unknown.

But even so, he can't question the other party about this now.

In any case, the Qin people really invaded the territory of the dynasty.

And it's a gesture of no informing, no respect.

If he doesn't go to war with him, it will be hard to unify the entire continent.

I'm afraid it will fall apart again.

Ashoka's face was hideous.

"Someone!"

"Take 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry."

"Take back Mount Noa."

"Destroy the Qin State!"
