Chapter 538: Destined Departure
"As expected, Hu Hai has been hiding among the three counties of Lingnan. It seems that he is already hiding with Zhao Cheng, who was active in Xianyang City before. This time I don't know if they can really reach the Mauryan Dynasty..."
After reading Liu Wei's letter, Ying Gao sighed to the Zhu family behind him. Hu Hai was the person whom Ying Gao rarely misreaded the mistake after he reached this world.
Originally, he thought that all this was under his control, but Hu Hai played assassination and disappeared. Ying Gaona was indeed quite angry at that time. In his opinion, he was extremely tolerant of Hu Hai, but in the end he still ended up with such a result.
But after Hu Hai disappeared, Ying Gao thought about this matter specifically and felt relieved. If he hadn't been himself, Hu Hai would have almost certainly be the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Although Zhao Gao would probably have undermined him and even killed him in the end, he had never experienced that. Even if Ying Gao had exposed Zhao Gao's face in front of him and the First Emperor, Hu Hai did not think so. People would definitely think that if there was no Ying Gao, even if Zhao Gao had any evil things when he became the emperor, he would definitely be able to tell it.
"Peng Yue and Sima Xin led so many soldiers and made almost complete preparations. They rode the strongest warship in the Qin Dynasty, but in the end they still lost nearly half of their troops. Now Hu Hai and others are not strong soldiers, and they cannot make ships as strong as my Daqin warship. In my opinion, they are just a desperate move, and they should be silent if they can't reach the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty."
The Zhu family naturally gave his own opinions. He often followed Ying Gao's side. Although he didn't talk much on weekdays, he knew a lot of things that others didn't know. It can be said that among Ying Gao's confidants, he knew the most. Therefore, he knew very detailedly how many people Peng Yue and Sima Xin lost from the sea of the Qin Dynasty to the Mauryan Dynasty, but some other officials and the people of the Qin Dynasty did not know so much.
"I don't think so. Since Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng can live well in the territory of the three counties of Lingnan for so long without being discovered by Fusu, Liu Wei, Sun Qian and others, it means that they have a very reliable hidden place. Under such circumstances, they can still obtain external information as soon as possible, which means that there are still people under their command. If they had not sent someone to find out such an important matter as the Mauryan chart, they would never have been discovered by Liu Wei. This means that they just want to go to the Mauryan Dynasty. If they do not have a certain strength, how dare they find out about the Mauryan chart at the risk of being discovered by the people of the Qin Dynasty?"
"That Lord means..."
"Whether they can safely reach the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty depends on the will of heaven, but once they reach the Mauryan Dynasty, the hidden dangers that have been posed to me by the Great Qin will be extremely great. Hu Hai's identity is not a good thing for people from the Mauryan Dynasty who are unknown. Therefore, what I, Daqin, must do without doing."
After Ying Gao sighed, he took out the paper and pen, and naturally told Peng Yue, Sima Xin and others on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty that they had landed from the sea and had a very clear understanding of the time and place of the landing.
For Hu Hai, it must be necessary to use a pre-interception method, but Ying Gao also knew that the others had already set out, and the news had been delayed for a while when it reached him, and then it was passed on to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. They sent troops and horses. It was enough to say whether they could have time.
And there is another difficult thing about this matter, that is, if you don’t find them in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, you won’t know whether they died on the way or have arrived but have been hidden. Once they hide, when they show up again, there will definitely be a big noise.
But although Hu Hai is like a loach that is not sloppy to Ying Gao now, Ying Gao still does not take him seriously. After all, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng have no advantage in the current situation of the Mauryan Dynasty. Moreover, Ying Gao found that the people in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty were not as bloody as the people of the Qin Dynasty. It is obviously not easy to incite them to rebel.
Ying Gao’s focus now is on how capable the Seleucid Dynasty is, and whether the great god Meng Tian will feel the pressure on the Seleucid Dynasty.
If Ying Gao wanted to make the Mauryan army a touchstone for the Qin and Xiongnu army to go to war, the idea that the Mauryan dynasty had failed because the Mauryan dynasty was too incompetent, the Seleuyan dynasty was obviously a good touchstone.
Although Ying Gao had ideas, he was never blindly confident about his situation and Daqin. Once Meng Tian could not rely on the 100,000 army to achieve good results in the Seleu dynasty cavalry, it would not be the case if he wanted to continue the conquest, because Ying Gao knew that in front of an army, the Seleu dynasty should be just a vulnerable attack. If Daqin wanted to truly dominate the world, he would inevitably compete with them. Ying Gao would not do anything that would fail even though he knew that it would fail.
At this time, Meng Tian, who carried Ying Gao's very eager expectations, finally arrived at the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, Fahrenheit.
Because after experiencing the severe weather in the Western Regions, Meng Tian was not very confident about the climate of the Mauryan Dynasty, but after passing a few cities, he found that the climate near Fahrenheit was still very pleasant. He thought no wonder Ying Gao had to take such a dynasty for himself, and this was really another Qin Dynasty!
Meng Tian's fame is very great in the Great Qin and the Huns. He is a totem-like existence in the Great Qin, and in the Huns, Meng Tian, who once captured Maodun Shanyu alive, is a killer god.
But now, the Qin and the Huns were at their best time to cooperate, so when Meng Tian arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty, even Long Qi went outside the city to greet Peng Yue and Sima Xin.
The news that Meng Tian came to the Mauryan Dynasty was just sent by a few days ago. It was as soon as Meng Tian arrived in the Western Regions that Fusu wrote a letter and sent it to Fahrenheit City.
The distance from the Western Regions to Fahrenheit City is actually not far away. This made Meng Tian a little doubt whether the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty was very large. However, when he entered Fahrenheit City and saw the huge territory map of the Mauryan Dynasty hanging on the original Sacred Sousa Palace in Fahrenheit City, Meng Tian finally put his heart in his stomach. If the Mauryan Dynasty was taken down, the Qin Dynasty would have two such large territories, and there is no need to mention the various benefits of it.
"Your war report to the emperor, Mr. Fusu has already informed me that if the cavalry of the Seleu Dynasty really meets on the plains, will it really be evenly matched with the cavalry of the Qin and the Xiongnu?"
"Yes, even if we encountered a raid, these cavalry did not know where our army came from, but they did not panic at all and all fought to the death. Compared with the soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty, they were not sure how much stronger they were. Now, dozens of cities of all sizes on the border between the Mauryan Dynasty and the Seleu Dynasty have been occupied by them. It was not until the last time that they encountered the raid by our two men and lost a general. However, although they did not continue to attack, I observed that they did not intend to withdraw the Seleu Dynasty. If the general wanted to recover those cities, a fierce battle would be inevitable."
Peng Yue introduced to Meng Tian what the situation was like for the soldiers of the Seleu Dynasty. After sending the message, they did not relax their surveillance of the Seleu Dynasty army.
Although they found that they stopped attacking, the occupied cities had no intention of withdrawing, and they also started to deploy defenses on several of the last occupied cities, which shows that they were indeed cautious because of the attack and no longer made any more aggressive moves, but they would not be afraid of a sneak attack and retreat to their dynasty.
The performance of the Seleu Dynasty basically sent out a signal, that is, if you don’t move, then I won’t move. That’s it. If you have to take back all these cities, then I’m sorry, I must have to do it with real swords and guns.
"Hmph, these people are just people who are following behind my Daqin to pick up some leftovers. What a fuss. No need for him to show off. As long as there are their figures in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, I will lead the army to kill them back!"
Meng Tian waved his hand and didn't listen to those things at all. Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of this time that the Seleu dynasty was involved in the Mauryan dynasty to establish his authority. After saying this, Meng Tian directly asked Peng Yue to mark on the map of the Mauryan dynasty which cities were occupied by the Seleu dynasty. Obviously, he was about to start to arrange this matter.
Peng Yue and Long had studied the army of our dynasty quite thoroughly before, so at this time the two described it to Meng Tian on the map, especially the battle between them and the army of the dynasty before, which was even more detailed.
Because it was during that battle that they discovered some characteristics of the Seleuth cavalry in combat, and what was different from the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
Unlike Meng Tian's old opponent, the Hun cavalry, Seleu's cavalry is not famous for its lightweight, aggressive and mobile nature. Their armor is even stronger than the armors transformed by the Great Qin cavalry after being transformed by Zhang Kai. It is precisely this reason that the Great Qin cavalry lost a lot.
Meng Tian's research on cavalry has been going on for a long time. Of course, he knew that if the enemy's armor was strong, it would mean that the enemy's mobility would definitely be worse than that of the Qin Dynasty. After the weapons of the Qin Dynasty were transformed, they would definitely be the most advanced.
Through the introduction of Peng Yue and Long Qi, what he could summarize is that the soldiers on both sides can basically be considered to have rich combat experience and well-trained. It is very likely that due to the differences in races, the cavalry of the Seleu Dynasty was taller than the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. Tall means that they must have an advantage in strength, but at the same time, their flexibility must be worse.
Although he was very bragging before, Meng Tian did not despise the other party at all when studying him. He was indeed confident, but what supported his confidence was his ability.
In this case, whether it was Peng Yue or Long Jie, he had long stopped the idea of annihilation of a lot of troops from the enemy at a very small price, but Meng Tian was different. He took action to exchange the smallest price for the greatest effect, just like the arrogant Maodun Shanyu was captured by him in an instant. Han Xin was indeed a general who was unparalleled and a talent, but when it comes to being experienced, there was still a little difference with Meng Tian.
On this day, Meng Tian politely declined the banquet prepared by the three of them for him, and returned to the mansion prepared for him with a more detailed map of the Mauryan Dynasty. Obviously, this was another sleepless night for Meng Tian, who was just a new arrival.
The next day, when Meng Tian appeared beside Peng Yue and others in a thrilling manner, they knew that this veteran might have had this war with the Seleu Dynasty in his heart.
"The 100,000 troops I have brought this time will rest in this city for five days. After five days, we will set out to drive the cavalry of the Seleuth Dynasty out of the Mauryan Dynasty."
"I wonder what the general has plans for this battle?"
"Since you have fought with the cavalry of the Seleu Dynasty, you should follow me this time and lead 100,000 troops, which is enough."
When Long Qi heard this, he thought that this was not good. If they had gone there, they would have taken advantage of the Huns because of this matter, wouldn’t they become sinners? So he spoke quickly.
"General, our Hun cavalry also fought with the cavalry of the Seleu Dynasty, and neither Shanyu nor the Emperor of Qin had any exact orders. If the general wanted to send troops, he would naturally have to count the Long Qi. Although our Huns had less than 50,000 cavalry here, they were all elite."
Meng Tian looked at Long Qi, thought for a while and said, "If you believe me, you will take 30,000 cavalry with me, and the rest will stay in this Fahrenheit City to help Sima Xin guard Fahrenheit City!"
When Long Qi heard this, he nodded quickly. After all, all he wanted was to participate and not make any soy sauce. It would be better to leave some soldiers in Fahrenheit City. After all, in his opinion, although Meng Tian was a little capable, it was not omnipotent, and it was very possible to defeat a battle.
