Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu are two doers, just do what they say.

After deciding, he immediately sent people to transfer troops to the Western Regions.

Then he sent someone to bring Antiochus III, who had been imprisoned for a long time.

When he was imprisoned, Zhang Liang seemed to have picked a local force at random, but he also laid a lot of dark lines.

Because the Seleucid cavalry killed so many Kushans.

Locked up in the camp of the Qin army, eating and drinking is served, which will definitely make the Guishan people dissatisfied.

In addition, Zhang Liang thought that it would be convenient to obtain information, and by the way, he tried to see if he could lead to hidden spies.

But I didn't expect this king to be unusually honest and have been safe and sound.

Zhang Liang was busy with all the things at hand, so he ignored him all the time.

Now bring it to you, good guys.

The dignified Seleucid king, covered in dirt.

The clothes are not covered, and the hair is stuck in a ball.

The eyebrows and eyes are almost indistinguishable.

When he saw everyone's expression, he kept dodging, and he looked frightened.

God knows how much abuse he suffered.

The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth twitched, and he didn't have to think that it must have been done by the Guishan people.

They died so many cavalry soldiers in the north of the city.

hated Antiochus III to the core, if it weren't for Ying Xuan himself saying that this person would still be useful.

I'm afraid I don't know when I'm going to die.

But at this moment, after all, this person is needed.

Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly became sad.

He took two steps forward and angrily scolded the detainees.

"How you treat the king!"

An angry shout did not frighten the leaders of the small forces, but it scared Antiochus III into a tremble.

"Plop" fell to the ground, holding his head with his hands and shaking.

Even Xiang Yu was a little helpless when he watched this scene.

It's okay now, I originally wanted to use it, but it turned out to be so cruel.

If you put it back to let him breathe a sigh of relief, he won't fight to the end with Guishuang.

Xiang Yu sighed.

With a "poof" he drew his sword.

"The king of a country, so embarrassed, it's better to give him a good time."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to finish off Antiochus III.

This scene made the eyes of the people around him widen even more.

This is going to be killed?

Even Zhang Liang hurriedly shouted.

"Dare!"

"Your Majesty said, after all, this person is the king of a country, and he can exchange with Seleucus at the right time."

But Xiang Yu disagreed.

"Look at what kind of torture people have been made by the forces you picked."

"If this is me, if I go back and die, I will bring the soldiers back and die with you!"

"Why don't you kill it, stay and play with us?"

Antiochus III on earth was even more frightened.

Shaking all over, he knelt on the ground with his head in his hands.

Try your best to hide your head in your arms.

"No, don't kill me!"

"I can give you whatever I want, as long as you don't kill me, you can do anything~"

Zhang Liang was alone in front of Antiochus III, stretching out his hands and glaring at everyone.

"This force is stupid and ignorant, and I should punish it severely."

"It's a big deal to let him take a breath, and if he can endure the torture, he will fight back, how can he kill him directly!"

But Xiang Yu couldn't listen.

Ignoring the step-by-step, he looked down at Zhang Liang condescendingly.

"Those who achieve great things must be ruthless."

"This man is a scourge, and must not be left behind."

"Sir, don't make a mistake about yourself."

After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he suddenly glared at the Xiang family disciples around him.

"I said kill him, are you deaf?"

The words fell, and the disciples of the Xiang family, who were stunned all around, looked at each other a few times.

Then he drew his sword as well.

"Poof! Scold! Scold! ”

The successive sound of sharp blades made Antiochus III even more frightened.

Zhang Liang was extremely angry and raised his head and scolded.

"Xiang Yu! Don't think that you can run amok because you have military power in your hands. ”

"Your Majesty said that if you spare his life, you must stay."

"If you have to kill him today, kill me with you!"

"If Your Majesty knows that you disobey his will, the Lingxiang clan will not end well!"

The stern threat made Xiang Yu's eyes squint unconsciously.

looked at Zhang Liang deadly, and said in a deep voice after a long time.

"Sir, remember!"

"Today you forcibly let him go."

"If he comes with his troops again in the future, I will kill you first!"

The last few words are especially heavy.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room was cold.

No one dared to say more.

Then Xiang Yu snorted coldly.

He turned around and left with all the generals.

Only Antiochus III, who was still trembling, and the little leader with his head bowed and panicked.

Until after Xiang Yu left.

Zhang Liang, whose hands were also a little trembling, squatted down.

Carefully lift Antiochus III to his feet.

The leader on his side will be busy moving to the table.

Zhang Liang sat down with Antiochus III.

Said with a slightly lonely expression.

"Makes you laugh."

"When Your Majesty is here, these generals don't dare to talk back to me at all."

"But as soon as Your Majesty leaves, they all become soil emperors with military power in their hands, and no one cares about them."

Antiochus III bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

But after being silent for a few breaths, he still said to Zhang Liang with some gratitude.

"Thank you, if I can go back, I will give you whatever you want!"

Zhang Liang laughed dryly, but shook his head indifferently.

"What can you give?"

"Rich? Right? ”

"Your Majesty has already satisfied me."

"What I'm doing now is just for a dream!"

Zhang Liang shook his head.

Instead of going on, he began to appease Antiochus III.

"Don't worry, your life is Your Majesty's."

"With my testimony, they don't dare to move at will."

"When it's a little late, I'll send someone to send you out of the city."

"Before that, unless the Kushan people are collectively tricked into killing you desperately, no one can do anything to you!"

Speaking of this, the little leader on his side also pounced extremely intelligently and knelt on the ground.

"I~ We are also helpless!"

"King, the Kushan people have tried their best to stuff food and money for my men."

"Just to vent my anger for the dead relatives."

"After all, they will govern this place in the future, and if we are too tough, we will not end well!"

"And~ besides, they hate you so much."

"I can't open the pot anymore when I'm hungry, but I still have to take out the money."

"Even a five-year-old girl took out her two days' worth of rations just to punch you."

The leader was about to cry as he spoke.

"I, we really can't refuse."

These words made Antiochus III stunned in place.

"A five-year-old girl?"

"She~Why is she?"

Zhang Liang, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"Her father died on the battlefield of the Western Regions because of the war started by Batkeria."

"Her mother, trying to stop your heavy cavalry, died north of the city of Mardan."

The words fell.

Young Antiochus III fell silent suddenly.

yes, he's still alive anyway.

However, the soldiers and people in the war have changed batch after batch.

The little boss was still afraid of reprisals in the future.

Crying again, he said.

"We really didn't mean to!"

Antiochus III whispered.

"I don't blame you, defeat is defeat."

"I deserve to be beaten, I won't hold a grudge!"

Zhang Liang sighed and didn't say anything more.

Patted Antiochus III on the shoulder.

Several subordinates were arranged to wash and change clothes for him.

Half an hour later, the young and handsome Antiochus III reappeared.

He came out of the side room, first bowed his head and thanked Zhang Liang again.

found that Zhang Liang was in a daze with a piece of sand in the middle of the room.

Antiochus III was slightly curious.

I took two steps forward and happened to see the whole picture of the sand table.

"Sir?"

Zhang Hao seemed to be taken aback.

With a swing of his left hand, he accidentally slapped one of the pieces of sand.

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't have time to pay attention to Antiochus III, so he shouted to the guards in annoyance.

"Alas, call the vice-president, I accidentally photographed Seleucus!"

The words fell, and Antiochus III's whole body tensed again.

What do you mean?

How could Seleucus be gone?

Could it be that this person's attitude just now was fake? Is he warning me?

Or is their real purpose to use me to invade Seleucus?

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Antiochus III's mind.

The gaze that looked at Zhang Liang was no longer as gentle as just now, and was full of vigilance.

Zhang Liang was slightly stunned when he saw his expression.

Then he smiled helplessly.

"Don't care, this is a sand table created by my Great Qin."

"It can be used as a substitute for a map to show the terrain everywhere."

"The piece I accidentally broke up just now is a map of Seleucus."

"Don't think about it!"

The words fell,

An emaciated man ran right after he ran in.

"Sir, why are you messing up again!"

"It's very troublesome to set this sand table once, and it even takes several hours to go into detail."

Listening to the adjutant general's complaints, Zhang Liang smiled helplessly at Antiochus III again.

Antiochus III was also relieved.

But this kind of thing is classified after all, and he doesn't dare to look up and take a closer look.

At this time, the thin man was also in trouble.

"Huh?"

"Hiss~ Is there a lot of horns in this place?"

Zhang Liang saw that he hesitated.

"Won't you open the map and take a look?"

The adjutant general frowned and said.

"The map was taken by General Xiang Yu, and it is not in my hands!"

Zhang Liang was suddenly anxious, how could they ask Xiang Yu for this time as soon as they turned their faces.

"Now the situation on the west side is in chaos, and the border is in chaos."

"The soldiers are anxious about how to resist the enemy, but I can't even read the map!"

"Alas!"

Zhang Liang angrily put his hands behind his back.

The lieutenant general was also a little anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't remember.

Whether this little horn is or not is related to the success or failure of the war and the life and death of the soldiers.

He didn't dare to come blindly.

In his anxiety, he suddenly saw Antiochus III, his head bowed and a little at a loss.

Eyes lit up.

"Alas!"

"Isn't he here?"

"He's been watching all day, he must know!"

Zhang Liang also reacted, and his face was overjoyed.

"Come, come and see the southeast side of Seleucus, is there such a corner?"

Antiochus III's face changed again.

This kind of secrecy, they even let themselves see?

What exactly do they want to do?

Antiochus III's already vigilant vigilance was now intensifying.

Zhang Liang seemed to see Antiochus III's doubts.

Smile slightly.

"Nothing, nothing, this is the map of the world."

"It's relatively rough, and there is no detailed troop layout, so it doesn't matter if you look at it."

Zhang Liang's casual words made Antiochus III's eyes widen suddenly.

World map?

What do you mean?

How dare he say such big things?

The world is too big to be depicted.

Antiochus III's mind was buzzing at the moment.

For a while, I couldn't tell if it was a trap or not.

But the unstoppable curiosity in his heart still made him take a step forward.

But the huge wooden table in front of him made him stunned for a moment.

The terrain and landforms that he had never seen before made him unable to tell where was where.

The adjutant general saw that he could not find his own country.

He picked up the polished and rounded wooden stick on the side and pointed it to him.

In the center of the expansive tabletop, a palm-sized space finally gave Antiochus III a sense of familiarity.

But it also made his whole person stiffen a few breaths in an instant.

Is this Seleucus?

The incomparably vast territory of Seleucus, which is not as large as two hands in the map of these people?

A huge cognitive impact made his whole person seem to fall into a blank.

I can't think of any thoughts in my head.

Until Zhang Liang on his side urged.

"It's getting dark, hurry up, is there any? Say it and you'll be sent away! ”

Zhang Liang's urging and the opportunity to survive finally made him sober up a little.

Looking at a corner where the lieutenant was pointing steadily.

Antiochus III nodded stiffly.

"There is indeed a mountain there, which is part of our territory."

The lieutenant immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is not mistaken.

Immediately, he carefully pushed the sand below up little by little, and then the entire sand table was restored.

But at this time, Antiochus III's eyes were already fixed on the east of the sand table.

There, there is the black territory that occupies nearly half of the entire continent.

It was full of Qin flags.

Antiochus III was once again incredulous.

The body even subconsciously took a step back.

Don't wait for him to ask more.

Zhang Liang also seemed to realize something.

Suddenly there was a shout.

"Come, follow me to send the Seleucid king out of the country!"

As the words fell, the soldiers outside the door stepped forward and took Antiochus III out without saying a word.

On the way west.

Antiochus III has always been a bit of a lost soul.

Even Zhang Liang was in a trance for a while when he talked to him.

"You might have some trouble when you get back."

"If that doesn't work, you can ask us for help."

"After all, we still want a stable western border now!"

Antiochus III nodded a little dumbfounded.

didn't understand the subtext of Zhang Liang's words at all.

Seeing that he was not in his mind, Zhang Liang had no choice but to tell him bluntly.

"To tell you the truth, the Seleucid royal family has now broken its head because of your capture."

"All kinds of methods of various forces have emerged one after another, and three of your brothers alone have died."

"If it weren't for external pressure, the current new king wouldn't be able to sit for a few days."

"If you go back now, if you're not careful, I'm afraid you won't live longer than in Guishuang."

Such harsh words finally brought Antiochus III back to his senses.

He nodded silently, not surprised.

He also knew in his heart what the situation was in the country, and he was lucky that he didn't collapse immediately.

The crowd ran silently all night.

It was close to the early morning before rushing to the northwest junction.

Antiochus III looked at the familiar city in the distance.

It was finally determined that Zhang Liang really wanted to let him go back.

Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to say goodbye.

Antiochus III stared at him deadly.

"Is that true?"

Zhang Liang knew what he was asking, and said with a slight smile.

"What you think is true, that's true."

"It doesn't matter if you think it's not true."

Antiochus III was silent again.

Instead of rushing to freedom, he asked again.

"You said you were here to fulfill a dream."

"What's that dream?"

The moisture of the morning breeze swept between the two of them.

Zhang Liang paused, his face slightly serious.

He looked far away, like a great man standing arrogantly between heaven and earth.

"Let the world be free of war!"

Antiochus III was not surprised this time.

He laughed miserably.

Yes, as long as there is a country, how can there be a large-scale war?

Great Qin, Great Qin!

A giant that occupies nearly half of the world's territory is quietly opening its fangs to the west at this moment.

And these people, these ignorant and ignorant small countries, are still fighting to the death for some territory.

Antiochus III was very sad at this moment.

No wonder Great Qin had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, no wonder they had the strength to destroy the ancient and crush themselves.

Such a terrorist empire, I don't know how many tragic wars it has gone through in the East to get to this point.

In the face of them, can these countries that are fighting each other really be stopped?

When I think of the terrifying army of the mountains and tsunamis, the almost invincible silver heavy horsemen.

Antiochus III was filled with despair.

And now he is even more sure.

Those were only a small part of Great Qin's troops.

What if you succeed in going back? What else can be done to regain the throne?

Won't it be a ready Daqin to be flattened in a few years?

Antiochus III walked lonely to the western frontier city.

And in the rear, on the border hill.

Xiang Yu rode his horse to Zhang Liang's side.

"You say, will he go the way you want?"

Zhang Liang smiled.

"It's up to him whether he wants to or not."

"The decline of Seleucus is inevitable, and the internal forces are even more chaotic."

"If he doesn't want to perish, he can only choose a strong one to rely on."

"And Da Qin is the strongest person he can imagine!"

"This seed will sprout in his heart sooner or later."

After the words were finished, Zhang Liang turned around.

Looking at the tens of thousands of prepared troops behind Xiang Yu.

"Leaving 20,000 people to pretend to be on guard, waiting for the king to leave and come to help."

"Let's start too!"
