Chapter 554

Antioke III was a monarch who conquered the world on horseback, so there were not many twists and turns in his heart. When Zhao Cheng, Hu Hai and others entered his capital, he directly found his core figures Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai. Antioke III was still very curious about the arrival of this person who claimed to be the younger brother of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.

Because Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty are adjacent, although their languages ​​are quite different, they are generally in the same language family and are not as rich and colorful as those of later generations more than two thousand years later. Therefore, Zhao Cheng has been much more refined than before during this period, and it is really effective at this point.

"I wonder what happened to you when you come to my Seleu Dynasty?"

Unlike the patriarch of a high caste family in the previous Mauryan Dynasty, Antioch III was also the monarch of the Seleu Dynasty. Those who dared to call themselves the emperor in front of such a powerful neighbor of the Mauryan Dynasty still came alone to the younger brother of the Emperor of the Great Qin, and naturally they would not start to respect themselves. After all, Seleu and Liangzi of the Great Qin Dynasty have already formed a relationship. Before they understood their purpose, Antioch III would definitely not give them a good face.

Although the word "scam" is also different from the previous city of the Mauryan Dynasty. That time, if there is nothing to do, people will not only not bargain with you, but will also keep you here forever.

When Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai looked at each other, their faces were full of solemn expressions. When they saw that Antioch III was not a fool, they had to say all the things they had in their hearts.

"My Prince of Great Qin is here to discuss with the monarch of Seleu and jointly defeat the Great Qin army on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty."

"Defeat the army of Daqin? You are the prince of Daqin and should be my enemy. Why do you want to be an enemy with Daqin with me? I am afraid you will explain this matter carefully."

Antioch III was not a fool. He knew that since the young man in front of him had already brought his family to Seleu alone, he would not use his identity to deceive him. However, why did the younger brother of the Emperor of the Great Qin go against the current Emperor of the Great Qin? It was something he had to understand.

"The emperor of Daqin is incompetent and incompetent. He not only intends to persecute the prince, but also imposes military force and sends the cavalry of Daqin to the distant Mauryan territory, which leads to complaints from the people in Daqin territory. The prince can't stand this situation and has no power in the hands of Daqin. He can only go to the distant Mauryan Dynasty alone to seek to use the Mauryan Dynasty as a breakthrough and control the Qin Dynasty's country in his own hands."

When Antioch III heard this, he basically understood that as an aspiring monarch, he would not easily believe the kind of deception they said. The only thing he could be sure of was that the so-called prince of the Great Qin in front of him should be that the Qin Dynasty had no place to live in the country, so he went to the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleu to try his luck.

After understanding this, the problem left for Antioch III was actually very simple, that is, whether the identity of the Emperor of Qin had any effect on him, and if so, how should he use this point?

"What can you bring to me Seleu this time?"

Sure enough, just like Hu Hai had expected before, no matter what prince you were in Antioch III, such an identity was not attractive to others at all. What they wanted to know was nothing more than what you, the prince, wanted to do here, what you could give to others, and what you wanted to get from others.

Of course they prepared such a question before coming here, but they didn't expect that Antioch III was such a person who went straight to the point. He didn't say anything at the beginning, and he didn't even doubt Hu Hai's identity. He just wanted to see what they could bring.

"Seliu's current strength is definitely inferior to the strength of the Great Qin and the Huns in the Mauryan Dynasty. Therefore, after the Great Qin and the Huns completely controlled the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that they would not continue to conquer. Once the conquest continues, the primary goal is Seliu, who had already had conflicts with the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty. The Lord must have thought of this a long time ago, otherwise, there would not be so many garrisons on the border between Seliu and the Mauryan Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng stopped and looked up at Antioch III. He had to observe and see if Antioch III really recognized this as they imagined.

"Yes, I, Seliu and Daqin are almost in the same situation. This battle is about time and time, but can you, a prince who runs out alone, have a harmonious effect in addition to allowing Daqin to start a war with me, Seliu, earlier?"

Antioch III's words have been quite realistic. Indeed, if Seleu really cooperated with Seleu, once the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty learned the news, he would definitely send troops to attack Antioch III directly.

Although Zhao Cheng said something else Antioch III was still very suspicious, being able to cross such a long distance to attack the Mauryan Dynasty was enough to show that the emperor of the Qin Dynasty must be really a militaristic guy.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that after I arrived at the Mauryan Dynasty, I did not come to Seleu directly, but first went to the city around the southern seaside of the Mauryan Dynasty. Taking advantage of this plague spreading in the Mauryan Dynasty, the Qin cavalry's control over the city deep in the Mauryan Dynasty, we completed a major event!"

"What's done? If it's useful to Seleu, say it quickly and don't waste time in vain."

Obviously, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai understood clearly. The monarchs of the Seleu Dynasty were not eaten by the monarch of the Seleu Dynasty. In this case, the pretentiousness of the situation would only make people feel that they were liars, so they could only tell their plans first. As for the purpose, let’s talk about them.

"We have gathered and conquered many high-caste people who did not want to survive in the Mauryan realm because of dissatisfaction with the laws of the Qin Dynasty. These people, together with the mercenaries who would be cancelled in the Mauryan realm, have already tens of thousands. Not only that, because these people are all high-caste people of the Mauryan realm before, and the resources and wealth they carry are definitely not a small number of."

If the words that were said before were all temptations, this sentence was really pure and practical. When Antioch III heard this, he did emit a lot of light in his eyes. Not to mention anything else, he had a clear idea of ​​the resources in the hands of the high castes of the Mauryan Dynasty. If tens of thousands of people were really gathered, they would carry at least one-tenth of the wealth of the Mauryan Dynasty before.

"Where are they now?"

"Before we came, we arranged them in a city with the worst plague in the Mauryan territory before, and all this was done in secret, but these people could not stay there for too long. Once the plague was over, it would be difficult to get out of that city."

"What do you mean is that now tens of thousands of high castes and mercenaries in the Mauryan Dynasty are in your hands?"

"Not bad! It's totally in our hands."

"Do you want to take these people to my territory of Seleu to hide?" Hearing this, Antioch III could naturally guess what they meant.

"It's not a question of evasion. We just want to use these resources to talk to the Lord to cooperate with you. After all, if we cannot help each other, Seleu will no longer exist in less than two or three years, and our prince will be killed by his brother. We still understand the strength of the Great Qin. I believe the Lord has already understood the strongest power of the Great Qin. It's far from being sent to the Mauryan Dynasty."

Zhao Cheng's prediction was actually that Antioch III had predicted several times in his mind before, and he was actually thinking that if he had been in the maximum of three years, the Mauryan Dynasty would be completely controlled by the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, his Seleu was in danger, and these days, Antioch III has been worried about this. It can be said that Zhao Cheng's remarks touched the pain points of Antioch III.

"But even if you add the resources of only tens of thousands of people, what can you do?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the Great Qin occupied the Mauryan Dynasty because it did not rely entirely on its own military strength. They also took advantage of the Huns' advantages in cavalry, and at the same time transferred the Huns in the northern part of the Great Qin to the Mauryan Dynasty, greatly reducing the threat from the Great Qin. Now on the other side of the Seleu border, aren't the Huns' cavalry stationed? In other words, the King's neighbor is not the Great Qin, but the Huns."

"The Huns and the Qin cavalry cooperated sincerely on the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, and they were unstoppable along the way, and there was no difference in the distribution of the Mauryan territory. How can we use it?"

When Zhao Cheng talked about the Huns, Antioch III could still think of what he meant. It was nothing more than dividing the Qin and the Huns, allowing the Qin Dynasty to shift the conflict points first, and then they would make profits from it. However, Antioch III thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out how to divide the Qin Dynasty's Huns. In his eyes, the good thing was like wearing a pair of pants.

"There are no differences at the moment, but we can create differences for them, right? If our prince arrives at a place adjacent to the Xiongnu and let the people of the Qin Dynasty know at the appropriate time, wouldn't this difference come naturally?"

Zhao Cheng first pointed to Hu Hai, who looked calm beside him, and then smiled. Although he looked vulgar, this was very useful in the ears of Antioch III.

"What do you mean is that your prince can create a conflict between the Qin and the Huns?"

Although I probably understood what Zhao Cheng's not very fluent Mauryan Dynasty meant, such a big event would definitely not tolerate sand in Antioch III's eyes.

"Yes, the prince fled from the Qin Dynasty. The whole country was searching for it, but the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty never expected that after experiencing a life of death, we would have arrived on the land of the Mauryan Dynasty. If we were at the right time and at the right place, the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty knew that the prince was here, with our understanding of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, it would be extremely easy to drag the Huns into the water."

Antioch III repeatedly thought about Zhao Cheng's point of view, and finally nodded and asked hesitantly: "I wonder what role I, Seleu, can play in this process, and where can we help you?"

What Zhao Cheng said was indeed a scattered thing, but the most critical question was what he needed Antioch III to do. There is no free lunch in the world. While you get some things, you must pay for other things. Antioch III is very familiar with this matter, so at this point, it depends on whether what they asked him to pay for them is appropriate.

"I have indeed borrowed something from the Lord when I come here. With such a thing, we and Seleu will gain a lot in the near future."

"It's okay to just say it."

"What we want is that the Lord will lend us the city at the junction of Seleu and the Mauryan Dynasty and a small piece of land around us for temporary use. After obtaining that land, we will naturally do the task of guarding the invasion of the Huns cavalry. The Lord will use Seleu's cavalry in other places. Not only that, when the property and resources of those high-caste people of the Mauryan Dynasty are transported here, we will leave all the remaining ones needed to maintain it. In addition, after we successfully arouse the war between the Huns and the Qin Dynasty, we will start attacking the Mauryan Dynasty from there. At that time, the city we will recover will always have half of Seleu. These are the greatest sincerity we can bring out. If the Lord agrees, we can sign a covenant as evidence!"

Seeing that Antioch III had such a temper, Zhao Cheng did not keep it a secret anymore, but told all his plans. To put it bluntly, he used the Seleu place to provoke the Qin and the Huns. Hu Hai suddenly appeared in the place adjacent to the Huns, and I don’t know how long it took. If Ying Gao knew about this, he would indeed think about the relationship between the Huns and Hu Hai in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty at the first time. Antioch III knew about this.

After saying that, Zhao Cheng sat there looking at Antioch III, waiting for his answer.

"I want to discuss this with my ministers, and I will wait here."
