Chapter 606 Counterattack is coming
On the market in Xianyang City, Antioch III hired a merchant from the Mauryan Dynasty with a large sum of money. After asking, this guy's hometown happened to be on the border with Seleu, and he also had a very good understanding of Seleu.
The merchants of the Mauryan Dynasty traveled through a harsh environment like the Western Regions to come to the Qin Dynasty. Needless to say, they were just here to make money. Now they met a guy who was very rich just to learn languages, and they immediately became energetic.
According to the conditions given to him by Antioch III, he had to teach him the language of the Qin Dynasty at Antioch's home until Antioch III had almost learned it. When this person saw that Antioch III was generous, he agreed to his request at that time. The reason why Antioch III chose this person was due to a long period of observation. He found that this person was very greedy for money, and the weakness of those who were greedy for money was also very obvious, that is money. They must be willing to do something slightly out of line for money.
After hiring such a person, Antioch III worked very hard. He almost learned the language of the Qin Dynasty in his mansion every day. Of course, the dialogue between that person and him would lead to a lot of languages from the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleu, because Antioch III had almost no foundation, and he would not be able to speak to him directly about the language of the Qin Dynasty.
In this case, Ying Gao was relieved in the court of Daqin that day, so that Antioch III could occasionally communicate with his teachers in their own language when he was learning the language of Daqin. Otherwise, it would be against Qin's rule to speak other languages openly in Daqin.
The matter of Antioch III will not be described for the time being. Han Xin and Meng Tian went smoothly in Seleu, but there was no news about Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
Because the two of them and the soldiers they brought had only a rough understanding of the forces on this land, it was like finding a needle in a haystack to find which city was controlled by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.
After spending two or three months, the two of them checked almost all the forces around them, and found that there was not even a leader among the Daqin people. During this period, they also understood their ideas very clearly. If it were really a city controlled by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, because they were Daqin people, they would definitely be very conspicuous, so it would not be difficult to find. Unfortunately, this conspicuous feature did not make them successful.
Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng stood in front of the stage with a puppet, and naturally they successfully deceived Han Xin and Meng Tian. The reason was that the two did not have a very good understanding of the complex relationship between the forces and forces.
But there are really some people who will pay attention to every rising or potential force, and the two cities controlled by Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng have undoubtedly been noticed because of their sudden emergence in the past one or two years.
The news reached a person's ears. The man was the monarch of the mysterious dynasty who had wanted to cause some trouble for Han Xin and Meng Tian before.
"I just used the backup plan left by the Seliu monarch before leaving, and I always felt that something was missing. That would only cause some trouble for the Great Qin people who occupied Seliu, and it would not really hurt them. But now it is different. If the actual controller of this force is really the younger brother of the Emperor of the Great Qin and a younger brother who wants to overthrow his, our affairs will be much easier!"
"What the emperor means is...we will cooperate with the younger brother of the Emperor of Daqin?"
"He is not qualified to mention the word "cooperation" with us. We are just giving him something, but we still have the final say on what he does with the little things we give him."
"But this guy is a real brother to the Emperor of Daqin after all. If he surrenders to Daqin again..."
"You have to remember that the brothers born in the homes of the people are the real brothers. The brothers born in the imperial family are just some life-and-death enemies! Since this person has been forced to such an extent by Daqin, I concluded that he and the Emperor of Daqin could only survive in the end. The reason used by Daqin to attack Seliu was him. Now that Seliu has been defeated, he has not been discovered. The generals of Daqin must be looking for him."
After hearing the analysis of his lord, the official nodded repeatedly there, and then asked in fear: "Does the small force we were looking for before still need to attack Seleu?"
"Don't worry, let them make a fuss. If you don't cause any trouble for the generals of the Qin Dynasty, once they get in touch with the younger brother of the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty before us, this matter will be completely solved by us!"
Although Ying Gao still doesn't know what happened here, this is indeed the situation that Ying Gao was most afraid of. The reason why he has been spared no effort to search for Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng is because if Hu Hai's identity is known by a person with real strength, they will definitely want to use Hu Hai's identity to do something to Da Qin. In that case, Hu Hai will become a killer weapon against Da Qin, which is obviously the scene that Ying Gao most reluctant to see.
But if you don’t want to see it, sometimes, the more you don’t want to see it, the more you will appear in your life.
On this day, I had learned that after Han Xin and Meng Tian captured Seliu, they did not choose to lead their troops to retreat and let the Qin Dynasty send officials to govern Seliu. Instead, they stayed in Seliu's territory. From time to time, Hu Hai, who sent soldiers to search around, greeted a mysterious envoy.
The appearance of this messenger is quite different from that of the people around the Mauryan Dynasty, but as soon as he entered the city, he directly pointed out that the city was controlled by Hu Hai, the younger brother of the Emperor of Qin, which scared Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng to death.
But the envoy continued to say that he came to discuss cooperation with Hu Hai. If the cooperation was successful, the entire Seleu territory would belong to Hu Hai in the short term. In the long run, the entire Mauryan Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty might belong to Hu Hai.
After such a long time of baptism, Hu Hai's knowledge was increasing day by day. When he heard the tone of the envoy, he knew that this guy must have come from a place that is comparable to the ability of Daqin and even more powerful than Daqin. Otherwise, they would not have known that Daqin existed but still had the same attitude. This made Hu Hai very excited, because he needed such an opportunity for so many years after he escaped from Daqin.
The envoy stayed in Hu Hai's city for quite some time, and there was not much time to help Hu Hai arrange how to deal with Da Qin. Most of the time was spent understanding what kind of country Da Qin was.
After almost knowing Daqin, the envoy left on his own, while Hu Hai was very excited. He had been hiding in and out for many years, but he never gave up because he knew that as long as he lived, his identity would shine one day, and today, this is the time.
"Young Master, that man didn't even say what dynasty he came from. Is his words really credible?"
After the messenger left, Zhao Cheng expressed his suspicion of this person's identity. After all, the guy let them wait for the news for a while and left on his own.
"No, Han Xin and Meng Tian of Daqin have spent so much effort but they didn't know where we are, but they quietly knew that this is definitely not something that a scam person can do. If this person is a scam person, if he informs Han Xin and Meng Tian about our news here, he will not know how much benefits he can get from Daqin, but he did not do so, which is enough to show that they don't care about the benefits of Daqin, but how to make Daqin uncomfortable."
"But even if they can really provide us with tens of thousands of troops, we will definitely find it difficult to resist Han Xin and Meng Tian's 300,000 troops. Do they want us to consume the Qin army first and then reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
"At this point, we have no way out. If we can't cooperate with them, we will probably find a place to stay sooner or later by the people of the Qin Dynasty. Whether it will succeed or not, it will be based on how we operate. The army they gave us is not the same as us. They will use it more without any scruples, which is a good thing."
Zhao Cheng was really impressed by Hu Hai's ability to think very well in any situation, but when he thought about it, he felt that what Hu Hai said was quite reasonable.
Moreover, Hu Hai and Zhao Chengdu knew that according to the envoy, some situations would happen in Seliu's territory in the last period of time, so that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng would pay more attention. If those situations happened, they would just send troops.
In the eyes of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, these words should not be lying. After all, they have to send their troops to them first. If all the troops arrive, but there is no slightest movement in the territory of Seliu, then these troops will be lost in vain?
They believed that if the other party was really a force stronger than the Qin Dynasty, they would not have done such a thing.
The wait was still very long, so Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were always preparing their men. They knew that the reason why the mysterious dynasty was willing to help them was just because of his special identity. Hu Hai understood very well that if he really thought that this mysterious dynasty was his savior, he would only become a puppet of that mysterious dynasty and die together after they killed the Qin Dynasty.
In Hu Hai's life, he had already had the fact that he almost became a puppet once, and he would never allow such a situation to happen to him again. All he thought about was to use the soldiers provided by the other party. As for really letting himself manage Seleu's affairs, Hu Hai had his own plans in his heart.
Han Xin and Meng Tian received another letter from Ying Gao, but they did not wait until they could return to the Mauryan Dynasty or Seleu, but asked them to continue to take charge here with an army of 300,000.
"The general thinks, what is the intention of the Lord? When I set out from Xianyang City before, the Lord said that once Seliu was captured, you can return. Why do you ask me and the two of you again? Even if you look for Hu Hai's whereabouts, there is no need to say that we and the army of 300,000 are all placed here, right?"
Han Xin obviously couldn't understand this matter. In fact, he had already realized something in his heart. Now he was just looking at Meng Tian's words. After all, some things Ying Gao did not say explicitly in the letter. Han Xin didn't know if this was another test for Ying Gao for them.
"With that being said, the Lord of the Lord must have his reason for doing this, especially since we had sent Antioch III back to Xianyang City before. It is very likely that the Lord of the Lord of the Lord of the Lord had seen some problems from this person, so we will continue to wait here!"
Meng Tian's words coincided with Han Xin's thoughts before, so he no longer concealed his thoughts and said directly: "In my opinion, Seliu should not be peaceful during this period. We should pay attention to the movements in Seliu while searching for Hu Hai, so as not to overturn the ship in this gutter!"
Since they came, they were at peace. The emperor gave the order. The two of them didn't think about going back at all times. While strengthening the guards in Seleu, they also used more manpower to find Hu Hai's place.
At the same time, in Xianyang City, Antioke III had learned the language of the Great Qin for nearly two months. With Antioke III's mind, these two months had already allowed him to master how to communicate with the people of the Great Qin. The merchant he hired from the Mauryan Dynasty was also time to leave. In the past two months, this person had been living in Antioke III's mansion in the Great Qin, almost inseparable from it.
"Your Majesty, the Mauryan merchant in Antioch III's mansion should have left in the past two days." Of course, their actions would not be hidden from Ying Gao's eyes. Cao Shen has basically done nothing else in the past two months, just staring at the actions of these two people.
"Does their time have any abnormalities?"
"It seems that there is nothing unusual, but they often talk in Seleu language that we don't understand. If Antioch III really had some bad words, we would have no way to know!" Cao Shen was also very helpless about the language he couldn't understand. This was the reason why Ying Gao did not allow people in the Qin Dynasty to speak other languages publicly.
