After Ying Gao informed Xiao He and his others of the letters written by Antioch III and some of his plans, he obtained unanimous support from these people this time. Ying Gao knew that the old officials of the Qin Dynasty had worked under his command for a long time, and that was very cunning. There was no cost plan, and they would definitely support themselves vigorously.

Since they have all obtained unanimous support from their confidants, and according to Han Xin and Meng Tian, ​​there is nothing happening in Seleu's territory at present, and they have found a little clue. If they can get a clue, it is very possible to know more about the enemy. Ying Gao was even more worried and sent out the letter written by Antioch and his instructions to Han Xin and Meng Tian together.

Unlike the plan here, the situation in Rome was not very good. The series of replies received by the consul all showed that his expectations for the Qin Dynasty were a bit weak. In fact, they were quite powerful. I thought that although those miscellaneous armies could not drive out the Qin Dynasty cavalry, they would definitely cause the Qin Dynasty cavalry to be panicked. But now, they are not bloody and killed the 100,000 troops and don’t know where to go.

"The Qin Dynasty is really an unbearable opponent. Could it be that our Roman cavalry really had to go to Seleu to fight them after a long journey?"

It was the Roman official who had been staring at the movements of the Qin Dynasty before. Until now, he still believed that the Roman cavalry was basically invincible. Although the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty was now quite happy to jump on Seleu's land, if the Roman cavalry came out, Seleu would still be Roman. Even Rome, a powerful figure as Hannibal, had to be killed. Not to mention a mere Qin Dynasty in his opinion.

"No, our relationship with Philip V is not harmonious. If we send troops rashly, it will probably attract his attention. If we have a conflict with Philip V at this time, it will be more than worth the loss."

"What's the ability of Philip V? If our Roman cavalry starts war with them at this time, they might be able to destroy Macedonia before destroying the Qin Dynasty."

When it comes to Philip V, the Roman official became even more disdainful. Obviously, the dissonance between Rome and Macedonia had penetrated into the bones of people from these two dynasties.

"If Daqin hadn't taken the lead in this, we would definitely not have interfered in Seliu's affairs. At present, the emperor of Daqin probably did not know the existence of us and Macedonia. The reason why I, Rome, intervened is because once Daqin knew about these things and joined forces with Macedonia in place of Seliu's previous role, our situation would be difficult, especially now, the combat effectiveness of Daqin's cavalry is probably not much weaker than our cavalry."

"Seleu and Macedonia are allies. Now that the Qin Dynasty has destroyed Seleu, how can Philip V unite with them? In my opinion, they might fight before we make any moves."

"With Philip V's nature, if they really wanted to take Seleu back, they would have taken action long ago. If they wanted to solve the Qin Dynasty, they could only rely on ourselves. Once they obtained Seleu's land, Macedonia would be nothing more than our own."

Although he did not expect that the Qin cavalry would have such great ability, the Roman consul still did not believe that the Qin was as powerful as the Roman cavalry under his command. His plan was to first take down the territory of Seleu, which was not very reliable, and then attack Macedonia.

"Then, will we really send troops to Seyreu this time?"

"Yes, but we naturally cannot release all the Roman elite soldiers. We must gather at least 200,000 troops from allies seeking our help, and our elite soldiers will send up at most 100,000 troops. These soldiers are enough to defeat the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty."

"But the 100,000 troops before were vulnerable to Daqin!"

"What kind of soldiers can the younger brother of a pampered Emperor of Qin command? This time, I will send out a general who has really fought a strong battle."

Obviously, the Roman consul put the responsibility for the previous failure and continued to underestimate the strength of the Qin Dynasty. The real rise of the Roman Empire must have been after the Second Macedonian War. If Ying Gao had not emerged, it would have been so close that Philip V and Antioch III would have taken several Mediterranean countries to attack Macedonia.

So Rome still has confidence in its military strength.

But what they didn't know was that Philip V, who they thought would not be involved in this matter, was changing his mind because of a letter.

To be honest, at the beginning, the Roman consuls judged Philip V's idea very correctly. Philip V had been thinking about attacking the Mediterranean region during this period. He always felt that that place was worth attacking himself. Antioch III was an important ally in his plan. If he had the help of 100,000 Seleucavalry, he would not know how much effort he could save.

But at this moment, Seleu was directly defeated by the Great Qin of the Mauryan Dynasty. Moreover, the strong-tempered Antioch III used the result of surrender, which really made Philip V a little difficult to accept.

It is difficult to accept, but this incident cannot change Philip V's intention to take over the Mediterranean. After Antioch III was confirmed to be captured, he was almost always looking for an allies who were better than Antioch III, or at least capable of being similar to Antioch III.

But Antioch III had only one. Although Philip V's allies were comparable to Rome, they were in a position to be able to see him. It was under such circumstances that he received a letter from the distant capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang.

In fact, there were two letters received by Philip V, one of which was written by Antioch III, and the other was written by Antioch III instead of the Emperor Ying Gao of Qin. After all, Ying Gao and Philip V did not understand the language.

When Philip V, who had thought Antioch III had long been killed by the Emperor of Qin, expressed deep doubts about whether it was written by Antioch III himself when he received this letter.

But when he finished reading the letter that Antioch III wrote to him in his tone, this feeling completely disappeared because before, he and Antioch III had frequent correspondences, and some of the habits could not be imitated.

In the letter, Antioch III first explained that he had become a prisoner of the Qin Dynasty and lived in the capital of Xianyang, the Qin Dynasty. Later, he explained that the reason why he surrendered was that he could not defeat the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty no matter how he did it.

In fact, Philip V knew about these, because when the Qin cavalry was about to attack Seleuth, Antioch III sent people to tell Philip V. Although Antioch III did not say it clearly at that time, the meaning of it was to ask Philip V for help.

At that time, Philip V thought that Antioch III could not solve this problem, so he didn't take it seriously at all. Unexpectedly, when he received news from Seleu, Seleu had become the Great Qin.

After explaining these two things, Antioch III introduced the power of the Great Qin cavalry. Of course, he didn't say how powerful he was. However, Antioch III told Philip V that if he fought with the Great Qin cavalry to the end, his cavalry would be wiped out, and the Great Qin would just lose 350,000 more.

How capable are the cavalry under Antioch III? Others don’t know that Philip V also knows, after all, they have been partners for many years, right? From this, Philip V inferred that the combat effectiveness of the Qin cavalry should be no less than that of the soldiers under his command.

As for whether Antioch III was fooling him, Philip V never even thought about it, because he absolutely knew Antioch III's temperament. If he could say such words, it was that the Qin Dynasty really beat him up.

Later, Antioch III actually explained to Philip V that after learning about the relationship between Macedonia and Rome, the Emperor Ying Gao of the Qin Dynasty wanted to temporarily form an alliance with Philip V.

Because Rome is currently about to attack Seleu, once Rome really wants to take Seleu and really repel the Qin Dynasty, Macedonia is not very suitable from a geographical point of view. Therefore, Antioch III asked Philip V to consider the Qin Dynasty's proposal in his letter. After all, if he can seize this opportunity to destroy the giant Rome, there will be no opponent in this vast world.

In fact, if this letter had not been mentioned, Philip V's attitude towards Qin was exactly the same as that of the Roman consuls. However, with Antioch III's eyes, Philip V would no longer think so. If there was such an ally, it would be impossible to know how much it had been upgraded to Seleu.

Immediately afterwards, Philip V opened Ying Gao's letter. Although it was written by Antioch for three generations, its tone had completely changed.

Ying Gao did not hide it from Philip V, and directly informed him that Seleu had been attacked by 100,000 people. Although the 100,000 people were just a group of mobs, he successfully found out the strength of the Qin cavalry. Ying Gao suspected that it was a forefront sent by the Romans, and the Romans behind him would definitely show their true strength. In this case, if the Qin Dynasty could unite with Macedonia without the Romans knowing it, Rome would be very uncomfortable.

Ying Gao's letter would say that one of the most unconvincing points of Philip V before was that Qin placed himself in the same position as Macedonia and Rome, but now Philip V believes it.

This letter made him make a decision without much time. It was very difficult to find a reliable partner by himself. Then it would be fine if Daqin wanted to cooperate with him. Moreover, Philip V was not like the Romans. He was really not interested in the territory of the Seleuth and the Mauryan Dynasty. He even thought that if Rome could be killed by him and Daqin, the territory there would be Daqin, as long as the place he wanted was his own, it would be fine.

Philip V was a man who was right, otherwise he would not have become a real ally with Antioch III. After considering it for two or three days and weighing the pros and cons, he directly sent a confidant to Seleuth's territory according to the way in Ying Gao's letter.

At this time, Han Xin and Meng Tian had already received news from Ying Gao. What Ying Gao told them was that in order to ensure the control of the Qin Dynasty over Seleu, the Qin Dynasty's troops would not lose too much. Therefore, Ying Gao decided to take the initiative to form an alliance with Philip V. If they could wait for Philip V's envoy before the arrival of the Roman cavalry, then their allies would have settled. At that time, let Han Xin and Philip V discuss a plan to attack on both sides, and Seleu's crisis would be solved.

Of course, Han Xin and Meng Tian were a little dissatisfied with Ying Gao's idea. After all, according to their ideas, no matter who comes, they will do whatever they want.

Ying Gao was also confident in the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, but Ying Gao was a stingy emperor in this regard. Since he could find an ally to share the losses with you, what would you do if Ying Gao didn't do it.

If he only guards Seleu, then the isolated Philip V repeats his mistakes in his previous life and lets Rome kill him. When Rome truly develops, it will be very troublesome to defeat him.

With the help of Philip V, the Qin Dynasty could not only ensure that it could kill the cavalry that the Romans might have sent, but also, after waiting to destroy Rome, Philip V would definitely not immediately rebel against the Qin Dynasty. These are very important news that Ying Gao got from Antioch III.

The messengers of Philip V arrived at Seleuth soon, and they brought Philip V's intention, that is, the two sides wanted to sign a real covenant. After signing, whenever there was news from the Romans, both sides would let the other party know about this matter as soon as possible. If one party went to war with the Romans, the other party would spare no effort to join the battle until the Romans were defeated. It would be considered as the content of the covenant.
