Meng Tian did not take such a small problem seriously, but immediately sent a team of people to the city to see what it was like. After that, he did not pay attention to this matter, but focused his attention on the final work of dealing with this epidemic.

But after a while, the feedback made Meng Tian and Lu Jia pay some attention.

According to the feedback from the people they sent, when they arrived there, they found that the people who were supposed to gather in the city had already left, and the entire city became an empty city. The generals they sent originally thought that the people who had fooled them before, but after inquiring around, they realized that there were indeed many people stationed here, but they suddenly left a while ago. Although many people saw their departure, they could not tell where they went.

The person sent to inquire all the way, but finally found that 40,000 or 50,000 of their group had disappeared from the Huns.

After finding this, the man naturally couldn't continue to investigate, so he returned to Fahrenheit City and told Lu Jia and Meng Tian about this.

"After entering the territory under the jurisdiction of the Huns, we will send someone to ask the Huns to see if they have discovered anything. Such a team of people cannot be underestimated!"

Because at least 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers appeared in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, Lu Jia and Meng Tian were still very concerned, so they sent people again. Lu Jia also wrote a letter and sent it to the territory where the Huns were located.

However, Xiang Yu, who received the letter, was also confused. Because he had no idea that so many people had come to his territory. Because it was written by Lu Jia, Xiang Yu still attached great importance to it. He sent people alone to check the places he had not had time to occupy, and finally concluded that he had not found such a large-scale army at all.

"Is this because Daqin wants to test me, the Huns?"

With such a question, Xiang Yu personally wrote a letter to Lu Jia, saying that he had not seen such a brigade of troops in the territory.

In fact, Xiang Yu did not see the large group of people led by Hu Hai and the others. Although many Hun tribes had already arrived on this land, the management of the Huns was very loose. They suddenly gained a lot of cities and many tribes had entered the city. The novelty was not passed yet, so no one cared about the vast empty space outside the city.

It was precisely because Hu Hai and the others saw this opportunity that they sent people to fight Qianzhan first, determined a road from the territory occupied by the Huns to Seliu, and then took advantage of the night to rush over. After that, they ordered a team of people to clean the places they passed by to prevent Xiang Yu and the others from seeing any traces. As it turned out, these actions played a very important role.

"The Huns didn't know that there was anything wrong? Forty or fifty thousand people entered the territory under the jurisdiction of the Huns. How could the Huns not know at all? In my opinion, they must have concealed something from us!"

"Yes, I'm afraid that Xiang Yu has a connection with the forces from somewhere. Their territory is connected to the Seleu dynasty that had attacked the Mauryan Dynasty before. Could it be that there is any connection between them?"

As soon as Xiang Yu's reply arrived at Huafa City, some officials from the Qin Dynasty disagreed with this matter. They all guessed for a while, but basically they didn't guess the Huns in the right place.

In fact, a discerning person can see at a glance that when working together to do things that are beneficial to both sides, the Qin and the Huns will not find fault with each other. However, once they enter a peaceful day and the common enemy of both sides is gone, their suspicion will definitely be reflected.

But Meng Tian and Lu Jia, who are in the situation now, obviously did not realize this problem. After hearing the suspicion of many officials, Lu Jia cleared his throat and said, "Although this matter may indeed appear in the territory controlled by the Huns, it is also because our Qin Dynasty has not occupied those places. Now, the plan is to quickly send troops to occupy those places. If every city of the Mauryan Dynasty can be stationed with officials and soldiers from our Qin Dynasty, only in this way can such things be prevented from happening!"

Although Lu Jia's attitude was not wrong, it was reflected in the hearts of his generals and officials. That is, Lu Jia also believed that this matter was related to the Huns, but the Qin Dynasty should not pursue it now.

The relationship between the Qin and the Huns was a little unaware of it. Both sides broke out from the previous honeymoon period little by little. Of course, this was also a matter of intentional Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.

This time, under the discussion and planning of Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, they completed the plan of three birds with one stone in just a few months after arriving at the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. Not only did they gain command of more than 30,000 mercenaries in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, but they gathered many high-ranking Mauryan castes families with resources and wealth, and obtained a place that temporarily allowed them to take a breath and develop, but also set up a considerable trap in the relationship between the Qin and the Huns.

Of course, both the Huns and the Qin Dynasty did not know all this. According to Lu Jia and Meng Tian’s discussion, searching for Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai should be carried out after completing the impact of the epidemic. After all, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were just two people. Even after reaching the Mauryan Dynasty, they could not even understand the language, so they naturally could not do anything.

But what they didn't know was that it was their underestimation of Hu Hai again and again that led him to this level step by step.

While the Qin and the Huns were suspicious of each other, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng had already led their team to the territory of the Seleu Dynasty without any danger. After stationing the team outside the city, the two rode their horses to the capital of Seleu to meet Antioch III, because whether they could finally get what they had talked to before depends on Antioch III.

"Your Majesty, now we have successfully brought the people we had gathered together before. There are more than 30,000 soldiers, more than 20,000 high-caste families, and nearly a thousand cars in finance. I wonder how you think about the settlement of ours?"

At this time, they knew that they would never be tough with Antioch III. You have already taken all the people and things to their territory. If they want to swallow your little things, it will basically be a matter of minutes.

Although according to their previous observations, Antioch III should not be such a short-sighted person, they still did not have any sloppy before things were settled.

"Since that's the case, we naturally agreed on before, and the guards of the city adjacent to the Mauryan Dynasty were left to you. But there is one thing that once it is attacked by the Huns or the Qin Dynasty, I will not directly send troops to support you. Your 30,000 soldiers will at least play some of the roles they should play."

"Oh? The Lord means that we can really sign a covenant with Seleu?"

"That's natural, but don't forget what you promised before. If you can't make the Huns and the Qin Dynasty have a dispute within a few years, you can't control my land for a long time."

The warnings made by Antioch III were reasonable in Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng's opinion. After all, if they regarded this city as a place for their enjoyment and retirement, Seleu would have nothing to do. Although the wealth brought by those high castes of the Mauryan Dynasty is not a small amount now, it would not play a very important role in the long run.

“That’s nature, that’s nature.”

Facts have proved that Antioch III was still very committed to his promise, or he felt that such a mere Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng and the few people under them were not worthy of his care.

On that day, Antioch III represented that his dynasty and Hu Hai signed the agreement they had discussed before. With this agreement, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng immediately cheered up. At this moment, they finally felt that their efforts over the years were not in vain. The days they had been in the dark underground or in the dense forest where there was no sign of a figure at all were finally gone.

When they rushed back to the city, they found that the soldiers and many people who were originally stationed in the city had begun to evacuate. Obviously, this was leaving a place for them to do what they should do on this land.

Of course, when Hu Hai handed over to the guards in the previous city, he took away all the wealth brought by 600% of the people of the high caste, which made these people of the high caste feel a little painful.

However, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were both nobles and were very good at appeasement. They went to the city to look at it and found that the scale of the city would be quite good. Moreover, the Seleu people with advantageous status had all retreated with the defenders, leaving only some civilians.

Under such circumstances, Hu Hai divided all the houses, large and small, according to the number of people in those families and the amount of wealth they brought, at least ensuring that each family of high-end castes still has its own courtyard and a considerable number of rooms.

After that, Hu Hai used a small part of his wealth to hire many poor people who remained in the city, making them servants in those high-ranking castes families. Such an operation would be to stabilize the city under his jurisdiction.

In this way, although those people of high castes do not have the same favorable conditions as before, they are still much stronger than those who are transformed into ordinary people by the Qin Dynasty after staying in the Mauryan Dynasty. In this way, these people are still grateful to Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng.

No one can see the changes in this small city outside the Seleu area, but they didn't know that the party had changed, and no one knew that the two people in charge were the two people Ying Gao wanted to catch the most.

After this plague, one of Lu Jia's letters was sent back to Xianyang City almost ten days later. The purpose was naturally to let Ying Gao know what the plague this time had reached.

Finally, after waiting for three or four months, Ying Gao's latest letter from Lu Jia finally stated that this incident was basically over. Although it basically caused at least hundreds of thousands of deaths of the Mauryan people, fortunately, it did not cause any more serious consequences.

"Hu Hai still didn't find it?"

In almost every reply to Lu Jia, Ying Gao would ask later if there was any news about Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, but what puzzled Ying Gao was that since Lu Jia discovered the ship, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng seemed to have lost traces from the Mauryan Dynasty.

Of course, it is basically certain that they did not die in this plague, because according to Lu Jia's order, almost all the corpses were found and burned by the Qin army wherever they were. Not far from the place where the ship was discovered, twenty or thirty corpses of the Nanyue people who died of the plague were found. These corpses mean that they were people who came to the Mauryan Dynasty with Hu Hai and Lu Jia, but they were just infected with the plague. If Hu Hai and Zhao Chenghe were both infected with the plague, their corpses would definitely be easily distinguished.

According to Ying Gaoyuan's original vision, because Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were both rare faces of the Qin people in the Mauryan Dynasty, the people in the places they appeared must have a very deep impression of them. Therefore, as long as they are still in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, it is very easy to find them.

But now several months have passed, and such an easy thing has not been completed under the organization of two great talents, Lu Jia and Meng Tian. This made Ying Gao think about a bad place.

"Can it be that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng escaped to some place where Lu Jia and Meng Tian could not go?"

As soon as this idea came out of Ying Gao's head, a person immediately appeared in Ying Gao's head. After thinking about it for a while, Ying Gao stood up and walked around for a few times, obviously making up some decisions.

That night, Ying Gao called Han Xin and Xiao He to him, and told them something he had just settled in his heart in front of these two confidants.

"What? The emperor is going to go to the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty? This is absolutely impossible. It's fine if it's in my Great Qin territory, but the Mauryan Dynasty, I, the Great Qin, have not completely controlled it!"
