Chapter 16 Do You Still Know About Guishan?
After getting the loyalty of the system certification, Yingxuan no longer has scruples.
Send Axeto down to leak the news.
Then he ordered the cavalry army to begin to advance deep in the northwest.
Calculate the time, the enemy's support army is almost here!
Axeto did not rush back to the camp where the cavalry nobles were.
He knew that there were only a few of those people left.
What's more, those people have seen the Great Qin cavalry, and it is not suitable to put them back.
When he came to the top of the hill not far from the army of 60,000 captives.
It was found that many slaves were driven to the periphery, sleeping on stones, and eating the leftovers of the soldiers.
In the past, not only did he not resent this, but he would personally humiliate himself in order to show the difference between himself and slaves.
But after experiencing the threat of burning at the stake.
He seemed to have woken up.
No one can deny their origins, and even if they were half slaves, they would be much luckier than these people.
Why hide yourself.
Isn't it better to rise from a half-slave and climb to a high place step by step than to start as a prime minister?
Axetto suddenly let go of the sense of superiority that he had always had, or the shame that his biological mother had brought him.
He exhaled and looked at these miserable slave soldiers, who were also fighting for the country and fighting for the country.
Why is the difference so big?
It suddenly occurred to him that it was not bad that slavery had been outlawed.
The expansion of Great Qin cannot be said to be a good thing for the people at the bottom.
By the way, I remember that he still doesn't know much about Daqin.
While marching towards the camp, the Qin army soldiers who sent help to both sides were also monitoring him.
"Can you two talk about the Great Qin Kingdom and the Eastern World in the next step?"
Axeto had a slight caution on his face.
It seems that he is afraid of the disdain of the Qin army soldiers for him, or looks down on such a general.
But who knew that the two soldiers were very enthusiastic.
It's as if I've long been accustomed to foreign joining.
"Don't be afraid, and don't worry."
"I have many ethnic groups in Daqin,."
"In the south, there are tribes such as Ailao and Jumachi who have voluntarily integrated into Daqin, and in the west, there are dozens of tribes such as Qiang, Wu, Jingjue, and Qiuzi who feel the inspiration of His Majesty."
"There is a powerful Hu tribe in the north, who surrendered after being suppressed strongly!"
"We've seen everything."
"Later, you will know how right your choice is today."
The words of the two made Axeto laugh twice.
Needless to say, he could think of what the so-called inspiration was.
The outspoken Hu clan is afraid that they have experienced the baptism of war.
However, he did not know the exact size of these tribes.
How does it compare to the major ethnic groups in the Mauryan Empire?
In order to judge the approximate strength of Great Qin.
Axeto continued to probe as he walked deeper into the army.
"I see that our warships are extremely powerful and numerous."
"Presumably, most of the Great Qin Territory is close to the sea, right?"
This question made the two soldiers stunned.
Then they glanced at each other and recalled the map of the Great Qin Territory.
Said with some hesitation.
"Hmm~ It's indeed coastal, and half of the surrounding area of Daqin is the sea."
This statement also confirmed Axeto's conjecture.
There was a slight sigh in my heart.
It seems that the size of Great Qin is difficult to compare with the Mauryan Dynasty.
The tribes that have been conquered are all insignificant and small.
Axeto didn't regret his allegiance, but he was a little worried.
In case you can't defeat the Mauryan Dynasty, after passing the news yourself.
The nine tribes are afraid that they will all be cut down by Ashoka.
Thinking of this, he was a little disappointed.
But he continued to ask.
"Then why haven't you heard of Daqin before?"
"I don't mean to insult Daqin, I really haven't heard of the name Dongfang before!"
Speaking of this, the two soldiers glanced at each other and smiled slightly.
"Because all the tribes that know about the existence of Great Qin have all joined!"
This remark made Axeto stunned slightly, if he could conquer all the surrounding tribes, then no matter what his size, Great Qin would definitely be a country full of martial virtues.
No wonder after learning of the strength of the Mauryan Empire, he still wanted to defeat and annex it.
"It's a pity that the territory of the Mauryan Empire is vast."
"The battlefield is a little deeper into the land, and those warships and sailors are useless."
"I'm afraid that it will weaken a large part of Great Qin's strength."
Seeing that Axeto was really worried about Daqin.
The two soldiers laughed.
"Don't worry, the water division is newly built, and now it is still Daqin's shortcomings and weaknesses."
"We haven't used a water master much before."
Axetor was stunned again.
The 30,000 sailors are weak? Those ships were already able to sweep through all the ships along the coast of the Mauryan Empire.
However, after thinking about it for a while, compared with the 200,000 cavalry of Great Qin, it seemed that it was indeed relatively weak.
Thinking of this, he understood.
As he returned to the outside of the captive camp, he saw the loyal guards again.
The two Great Qin soldiers also turned around and left.
The rest depends on his own performance!
Axeto approached with grief on his face and gathered his two-handed guards together.
Shen Sheng told them that the cavalry had also encountered an ambush.
Now all of them are taken prisoner, if they don't want to be used as a rebel by Ashoka.
We have to find a way to send back an important piece of news.
"The Great Qin defense line is extremely tight, and it is difficult to break through."
"And the only weakness is fire attack."
"They were disgusted by the last time they beat the Chiti with fire."
"It wasn't worth the huge amount of manpower that went into extinguishing that wildfire."
"If it is the main army, which can be attacked mainly by fire, the defense line of the Qin people can be easily broken."
Axetor glanced at all the soldiers in front of him.
"Only by desperately sending this important news back will Ashoka not be ruthless in beating us as rebels."
"We will not make our loved ones slaves."
's words did not make the guards suspicious.
After all, it is impossible for a blood relative of a prime minister to be willing to become a prisoner in Qin Ying.
Those soldiers who were not slaves became anxious one by one.
Yes, people were easily captured by the enemy, and the fearful Ashoka was likely to become suspicious and implicate their families.
In particular, some generals said with eagerness on their faces.
"But how do you send the message back!"
"The Qin army is well defended."
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers around him suddenly spoke.
"Shhhh Hush! Hush! ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and after a while, a small group of soldiers of the Qin Army walked by their side with sharp weapons in their hands.
His eyes scanned each of them fiercely.
The camp was also surrounded by Qin soldiers.
It wasn't until they were far away that the guards spoke again.
"With such protection, we have no chance to escape."
Axeto, however, narrowed his eyes and whispered.
"I've already planned it."
"When the night comes, I'll lead the slaves to make a noise and get their attention."
"And if you want to flee quickly, you must pass the news to the main army."
"We are the generals who atone for their sins!"
The guards nodded vigorously.
They couldn't have been more willing to have a chance to escape from here.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of scolding in the distance.
"What are you doing together?"
"Come over to me!"
The Qin soldiers pointed to Axeto and wanted to take him to the side alone.
The guards were in a hurry, and the next moment Axeto turned around.
Cover a short dagger slipped from the cuff.
Konoe quickly lay on the ground and took it into his arms.
At this time, the soldier also came to him.
Axeto hurried away.
Until night, it was dark.
Axeto crept to the edge of the camp.
The two Qin soldiers also came to their side again.
With a few shouts and noises, a burst of fire suddenly ignited the surrounding tents.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the Qin army on the periphery of the camp quickly gathered to one side.
Until after a cup of tea.
The camp was calm again.
Axeto stood on the top of a hill and watched the dozens of people burrowing into the forest in the dark.
Suddenly, he said a word.
"Actually, the Qin people don't have to fight to the death with the Peacock Dynasty."
"With Great Qin's current strength, it is also completely a hegemon."
"Even if you invade a part of the territory of the Mauryan Empire, it is only close to the size of it."
"It's better to develop and develop the sailor, and then make a plot when it is stronger."
Axeto was still a little unoptimistic about Daqin.
After all, for him, the Mauryan Dynasty was too vast and the population was too much.
Even if you have 200,000 cavalry, you don't know how much loss you will bear if you want to completely defeat the Mauryan Empire.
In the end, it is likely to be a lose-lose situation.
But the words just fell.
"Flutter"
The two stunned soldiers beside him actually laughed.
"Territory close to it? Who? Mauryan Empire? ”
"You're going against Tiangang!"
Axeto blinked, thinking that this was the pride in the heart of the Great Qin soldiers, so he didn't say anything more.
But the next moment the soldiers dragged him back and got into a tent.
Point to the map above.
Said into a palm-sized area.
"This is the Mauryan Dynasty."
Without waiting for Axeto to react, they pointed to the vast area on the right.
Swing hard.
"This, it's Daqin!"
Axeto's whole body froze instantly.
His eyes widened, and he looked at the map in front of him over and over again.
Compared to the inverted triangle the size of the Mauryan Dynasty's palm, the behemoth on the right, which was dozens of times the size and suppressed above their heads like a giant, made Axeto's hairs stand on end.
"This~ This is by no means true, this is what you used to lie to me."
"It's so secret, how can you see it anywhere."
Despite this, Axeto's eyes did not take his eyes off the map.
The generals on his side turned up the corners of their mouths.
"Those who hold positions above the thousand generals of Great Qin, all of them have a map of the territory of Great Qin in their tents."
He patted Axetto on the shoulder again.
"Your Majesty has never kept this picture a secret."
"I, the Qin people, have never cared, because no one can use this to attack my Great Qin!"
Axeto only felt that the saliva in his mouth was very dry, and it was difficult to swallow it into his throat after swallowing it a few times.
"But you all said that half of the territory of Great Qin is coastal?"
Before he could finish speaking, Axeto suddenly understood.
That's right, it's coastal!
It occupies nearly half of the entire continent, and how can it not be half of the coast?
Axeto burst into tears, but he laughed again as he cried.
Great Qin is so vast!
It turns out that there is such a terrifying existence in the East.
The boundless Mauryan Dynasty turned out to be just a few provinces for it.
It turns out that the so-called first country in the East of the Mauryan Dynasty is a joke.
It turned out that they were just a bunch of children fighting around in front of giants.
Everything makes sense.
Build such a huge harbor, such a powerful warship.
Easily send 200,000 cavalry.
It all made so much sense that Axeto suddenly woke up.
20,000 miscellaneous soldiers, really miscellaneous soldiers!
An army of 80,000 is really like tofu.
He jerked his head up at the two soldiers.
"How many troops does Great Qin have?"
The two looked at each other, slightly hesitant.
"It's not that we can't tell you, but we don't know."
"Anyway, when attacking the Hu tribe in the north, the number of troops has exceeded one million."
"As for the subsequent conquest of the Western Regions and Bactria, it is unknown how much!"
Axeto's eyes widened again.
"Wait?"
"Bactria was conquered by Great Qin?"
"Who is that Kushan?"
This remark made the soldiers' eyes light up.
"You still know about Guishan!"
As if he had found a confidant, the soldier continued.
"Guishuang's original name was the Yue Clan, and the clan land was on the east side of the Western Regions."
"After provoking my Great Qin, he was beaten and ran away."
"Later, I felt that it was difficult for me to live, so I pledged my allegiance to Daqin again."
"So your majesty gave them the name of the frost, and then beat bactria and gave it to them."
"How do you know about this clan?"
Axetto was completely silent.
He didn't want to ask anymore.
Kushan, who was regarded as a great enemy by the Parthian kingdom.
It's just a marginal clan in a remote corner of Great Qin!
Axeto's world is in collapse at the moment.
The heart is chaotic.
He was already able to deduce the end of the Mauryan Dynasty in his head.
He looked at the map again.
"Every Thousand Generals is in the camp?"
"What is the purpose?"
"Don't you just want the soldiers to see with their own eyes how Great Qin occupies the entire continent step by step!"
Axeto's smile grew more and more miserable and bitter.
An army of millions? It's just the early strength of Great Qin.
With such a boundless territory, no one knows how much strength the current Great Qin has.
But the million-strong army that the Peacock Dynasty has always been proud of may be in front of Great Qin.
There is no right to resist in the slightest.
But then, Axeto suddenly began to rejoice.
Shouldn't you be happy?
His allegiance was not to a small country, not even an empire of similar strength to the Mauryan Empire.
This is a terrifying giant that has long stood on top of the world, and has been hidden in the darkness and never revealed.
And now he is going to show his true power to all the young children of the West.
Where will the Mauryan Empire go?
If they are conquered by Great Qin, how will the leaders of the local ethnic groups choose?
Taking the lead in allegiance is definitely His Majesty's first choice.
Can you reach the level of prime minister?
Thoughts popped into Axeto's mind.
He reacted suddenly.
Looking at the two soldiers, Axeto asked hesitantly.
"Am I a blessing in disguise?"
"Are you going to turn over?"
The two soldiers did sigh slightly at this moment.
"I envy you!"
"To be able to directly owe allegiance to His Majesty, you need to know the last person to do so."
"Now he is the king of the northern royal court, ruling all the nomads in the entire north!"
Axeto's eyes lit up suddenly.
Yes, he no longer has to think about climbing up step by step by relying on his military exploits.
There is no longer a need to hold up the head of the clan and be regarded as a mongrel by everyone.
As long as he wholeheartedly follows in His Majesty's footsteps, he will subdue all the territory of the Mauryan Empire little by little.
Not to mention the Prime Minister, it is even possible to reach the level of Ashoka himself.
Axeto trembled again, but this time he was agitated.
