Chapter 633
The Qin and the Romans made enemies were the situation that Philip V wanted to see most at this time. The fact that he had always wanted to get the land he had always wanted was the most perfect thing in Philip V's heart.
When he received this letter from Ying Gao, Philip V's most glad thing was that he had summoned all the people who had been placed in the Seleu city. Otherwise, if Daqin knew about his behavior, he would have beaten someone with his disagreement, and he would definitely have included himself in the group of enemies of Daqin.
What Philip V didn't know was that he had obviously fallen into the trap of the Qin Dynasty. The reason why he had such an idea was that the Qin Dynasty would take the lead in sending troops. Once such a thing appeared, it would obviously make it easy for the other party to gain trust.
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty was nothing else, but directly attacked the Roman younger brother. Before, Philip V went to attack Egypt. Egypt was not the Roman younger brother at that time. However, the Romans still sent troops to prevent Philip V from entering the Mediterranean region, and the Roman consul himself led the troops to kill Philip V.
Now, if the Qin Dynasty directly attacked other people's younger brothers but the Romans did not go to rescue them, it would obviously affect the Romans' trust in Rome. If the Roman brothers turned against the Qin Dynasty, then Rome would not have to play. The reason why they could eat and drink delicious food on the land of Rome was because their younger brothers blocked a lot of harm to them on the periphery of Roman territory.
The reason why Ying Gao made this plan was obviously because he had studied the psychology of the Romans and Philip V. What he wanted to play was this time difference, because Philip V would not send people to stare at how far his younger brothers attacked the Romans had attacked. The scale of this actually depends on Meng Tian and Fusu himself to control it.
After the people sent by Philip V arrived at Seleuth's territory, Meng Tian received a very accurate reply. The cavalry of the Qin Dynasty would definitely send real elite troops to attack the Romans as what Ying Gao and Philip V said before.
At that time, Meng Tian also pointed out in detail to Philip V's subordinates about which force he was going to attack. After receiving Meng Tian's guarantee, the people under Philip V returned happily to the land of Philip V and reported what he saw to Philip V, which naturally made Philip V more relieved.
When it was time for Ying Gao and Philip V to attack the Romans, Meng Tian really set out from Seleu with an army of 50,000.
With such a big move, both Philip V and the Romans had already received the news when Seleu's men set off, but the reactions of both sides were different. Philip V knew what the Qin people were doing, so he went back to prepare for his own attack on Egypt. After receiving the news, the Roman consul thought a lot more in his mind.
He did not have the preconceived idea of Philip V, after all, they had no communication with Daqin.
"Daqin really only sent 50,000 troops?"
"Yes, and before the Great Qin people set out, they seemed to have executed a few of our Roman miniature sacrifice flags in Da Qin, and then they set out."
"Oh? It seems that this is like an irrational act made by the Qin Dynasty in a rage. Moreover, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty is not in Seleu now, and Seleu only has 100,000 cavalry. In this way, even if half of the troops were sent, if they came directly to attack our Rome, the Qin Dynasty would be too overestimated. Have you ever asked if there is any shadow of the Huns or Philip V in this way?"
"That's not the case. Only the 50,000 cavalry of Daqin came in our direction."
Through the previous several actions of Daqin, the Roman consul obviously knew that Daqin was not a force that would attack casually, but this time, it seemed that it was a bit abnormal and moths to the flames, which really made him not know what Daqin wanted to do.
Because the power of his younger brother was everywhere in Rome, the Roman consul was not worried that the 50,000 people from Daqin could make any waves on his territory. Instead, his heart felt that the 50,000 people from Daqin were very likely to be a bait, and the real purpose was not to these 50,000 people.
After thinking of this, he did not directly send out the elite Roman soldiers, but directly informed the forces standing in front of them, and must block the Qin people for a period of time, because he believed that once the Qin people attacked a relatively close place to Rome, their feet would basically leak out.
What he thought of was actually exactly what Ying Gao wanted him to think of, because only when he thought of this could Ying Gao's plan be considered a real success. Of course, Ying Gao also made preparations. He had even told Meng Tian that if he faced a real Roman elite soldier after he arrived, there was no need to say anything, just run back quickly and it would be done. This time, Ying Gao's goal could be achieved, but if his goal could not be achieved, it would not be at the cost of sacrificing the lives of any Qin soldiers, right?
This is Ying Gao's cleverness. Before he wants to do anything, he must throw himself out first, so that the enemy will naturally not have any too much suspicion.
At the same time, when Meng Tian's army set out, Ying Gao had already started to prepare in Xianyang City. In another three or four months, Meng Tian would definitely send back news. If the plan was successful this time, the Romans and Philip V fought again on the Egyptian territory, he would rush to Seleu. Following him, the last group of troops sent to Seleu will be Han Xin and a group of young generals from the Qin Dynasty, as well as Tian Yan.
On this day, Ying Gao, Han Xin and Tian Yan were having a negotiation. They were determining the final details of this war. Although there was still a lot of time with this war, what to do first and what to do later must be prepared. Ying Gao knew that Seliu was very far away from Daqin. If he went there, he would definitely not be able to stay for two or three years before returning. In that case, there would definitely be many changes in the territory of Daqin. Therefore, Ying Gao set the time for him to stay in Seliu within one year. In other words, from half a year to Ying Gao to Seliu, once a large-scale war broke out, at least Ying Gao would have to see a great chance of victory, otherwise, he would have gone in vain this time.
A year seems to be very long, but in this era, without cars or planes, the fastest means of transportation is war horses, so a lot of time wasted on the road, and the same is true for wars. Once a war between major forces begins, it is not something that can be decided by a battle. It will be one battle after another, and it will not be stopped until one of them has run out of ammunition and food.
"Your Highness really wants to achieve his merits and eliminate Macedonia and Rome in one go? The risk of doing so is very great. If it is not good, they discover and join forces, whether we can resist it is still an unknown."
This is not the first time Han Xin has questioned Ying Gao's plan. He always feels that Ying Gao is a little too hasty if he wants to eat a fat man in one go.
"So we have to defeat them one by one. The most important thing is to cause a great melee between the main troops of both of them in Egypt again. If Philip V fell three times in the same place, he would never want to defeat the Romans in his life. So this time, he will definitely do his best. What we have to do is to stab him gently behind him when he goes to a certain level. In this way, our enemy will only be one Rome left. In one-on-one situation, our Qin Dynasty is naturally not afraid of the Romans."
At this time, Ying Gao's plan was already very obvious. This time, he fooled Philip V to fight Egypt. In fact, the ultimate goal was to create an empty space within Macedonia. At a certain time, Ying Gao would advance directly to Macedonia. In this way, Macedonia would become the defeated general of the Qin Dynasty. After Philip V fought to the death, the Romans would only win a tragic victory. After that, they would face the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty and the Huns. Of course, they would be very beneficial to the Qin Dynasty.
This plan sounds not difficult, but it is very difficult to operate. No matter which step is wrong, you will not get the result that Ying Gao wants.
Seeing that Ying Gao had made up his mind, Han Xin didn't want to say anything else. He has been following Ying Gao's command since he became a general under Ying Gao's command. The facts proved that Ying Gao had no mistakes either.
The Qin Dynasty is not like the Macedonia in Rome. Their land still has to rely on their own little brothers to protect it, but the Qin Dynasty's territory relies on its own army. For the Qin Dynasty, the worst result is that their plan was completely failed and discovered by the Romans and Macedonians. In this case, the Qin Dynasty would not be as good as the Mauryan Dynasty, nor the Mauryan Dynasty. They all retreated to the boundaries within the Western Regions and blocked the opening between the Western Regions and the Mauryan Dynasty, and it would be a complete end. If the enemy wants to attack the Western Regions, they still have to open up mountains. As long as the Qin Dynasty stationed a team of people on the edge of the mountains in the Western Regions, it would definitely ensure that they would never break through the natural dangers of the Western Regions.
Because of this fact, Ying Gao had no scruples. He knew that he had caught up with a very good era. If he had not had a foolish monarch like Shari Saga, he would not have achieved the current results. The Mauryan Dynasty gave Ying Gao a soil and a foundation. With this foundation, Ying Gao could solve the not-so-weak Antioch III. The solution to Antioch III weakened Philip V to a great extent, forcing Philip V to unite with Ying Gao, otherwise he would definitely not be able to defeat his old enemy Rome.
This series of chain reactions caused both Philip V and Rome to be in a very embarrassing position, but they themselves were unable to choose due to years of grudges. This is the source of Ying Gao's series of plans.
"Your Majesty, if we stabbed Philip V in the back as you said, wouldn't our Qin Dynasty become a disgraceful person?"
In this case, only Tian Yan, who is full of chivalrous spirit, can ask. Because Tian Yan had already obtained Ying Gao's permission to participate in this war, the discussions between Ying Gao and Han Xin were all with her in the past few times. She had rarely spoken because she did not know much about this war. However, this time, Tian Yan finally couldn't help it and then spoke.
After hearing Tian Yan's words, Ying Gao also sighed slightly and said, "If I were not the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, but a raid in the Qin Dynasty, I would definitely hate evil and would not do such a thing. But now I am the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, then it should be for the sake of the people of the Qin Dynasty and the dominance of the Qin Dynasty. Although we are allies with Philip V, once we expose our weaknesses, Philip V will definitely stab us in the back as soon as possible. This is a war between dynasties and dynasties. There is only victory or defeat, and there is no morality to talk about."
Tian Yan felt that this was the most serious time Ying Gao had spoken to him in recent years, and she could naturally understand what Ying Gao said, so even though she felt that she was a little unacceptable, she still nodded vigorously.
After the three of them discussed the issue of sending troops, they dispersed. After all, it took a long time for the news to be transmitted to the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and during this period, Ying Gao still had to wait for the news.
What happened before was almost the same as Ying Gao planned. When Meng Tian brought his men to a city with a small Roman force, he did not find any Roman elite soldiers, which made Meng Tian feel relieved. He did not attack the city blindly, but began an attack like a moor. The smaller the damage it caused to their side, he would do whatever he could. Anyway, it was just here to rely on time.
Such news was soon passed into the ears of the Romans, and the Roman consuls felt more and more that it seemed like a trap.
