Chapter 590 exposed
"What the young master means...we will expose our location to the spies sent out by the kings of the ancient temple kings?"
Hu Hai's idea was indeed very bold, but it was definitely something Antioch III could not imagine. When Antioch III knew their secret, he might not have taken care of these things, right?
"We don't have to be so anxious. Wasn't Antioch III assassinating the spies sent by the ancient temple state? We don't have to be so straightforward, just do some articles on it."
The two continued to discuss for a lot of time before going to rest, but what others didn't know was that on this inconspicuous night, the news they discussed played a huge role in the subsequent movements of the land.
In fact, the king of the ancient temple state understood in his heart that many of the secret agents he sent were killed, and the ones who died did not go to a single place. Although this made the king of the ancient temple state not know who did it, he knew that the ability of this force must be quite large, at least it would be much greater than his own. Moreover, there were only a few decent forces on this land, which made the king of the ancient temple state very embarrassed. The Qin did give him land, but it did not give them any manpower. Originally, the ancient temple state lost a lot of people during the battle with the White Tiger Dynasty. Now, although the king has started to recruit troops again and the effect is good, the organization of the secret agent is still difficult.
After losing a lot of spies, although the king of the ancient temple country complained, he did not change his plan. When Han Xin left, he did not ask him for anything else, just asked him to find these two people. If he didn't play with his life, it would be a bit different.
In the next search, he concentrated all the spies onto some large forces, and as expected, some spies lost their traces.
Just as he had fewer spies at his hands, a piece of news appeared in front of him on that day.
A spy suffered a lot of injuries, but he didn't know why he ran back. When the monarch of the ancient temple country saw this situation, he felt that there should be a way to do this.
"Who was you hurt? But what useful did you find?"
"Your Majesty, I was injured in Seleu, but I didn't find anything useful. I think it was because I was suspicious and had poor academic skills, so the Seleu people seized the opportunity. However, those who hurt me were all people wearing ordinary clothes, but there was nothing special about it. If it weren't for the great luck, I would have died in Seleu's territory."
After hearing the secret agent's words, the monarch of the ancient temple nodded slightly, and then asked him to go out to rest, while picking up the pen and paper, writing a letter in detail, and then carefully sent someone to Fahrenheit City.
The king of the ancient temple country is still very good at being a human being. He has no guesses in the letters. He just told the situation he encountered when Han Xin investigated Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng after he left. As for the decision, he knew that he was not qualified yet, and all he could do was report the news.
Without too long, the letter came to Lu Jia and Meng Tian in Huashi City. It had told them about the role of Han Xin before he left, and he told them that once they had news from Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, the monarch of the ancient temple would tell them that the news was coming, but it had a problem for them.
If we talk about the force they least want to move outside the border, it is Seleu. Any other dynasty can definitely take down a hundred thousand soldiers, but you can't even get down a place like Seleu.
When the Mauryan Dynasty was dominant in this family, people never thought of destroying Seleu and signing a friendly treaty with Seleu. It must be because Seleu is a tough guy. The scale of the people is not small and it is a warlike dynasty. If anyone wants to destroy it, they have to think carefully.
"Will this matter be the king of the ancient temple country provoke the relationship between us and Seleu, and thus want to provoke a war?"
After seeing this letter, Meng Tian's first reaction was that the king of the ancient temple was not a honest person and wanted to make something bad.
Lu Jia frowned his eyebrows for a long time, then shook his head and said, "The monarch of this ancient temple country just had the right to speak on that land because of us, and almost no one dared to move. At this time, they would definitely not deceive us for no reason. This matter is probably true. However, based on this matter, it is impossible to conclude that Hu Hai and Zhao Chengzhen are hidden in the Seleu Dynasty. It is better to send this letter back to Xianyang City and let the lord read it before making a decision!"
Lu Jia was still very clear about the people they could use on this land. If it were a small dynasty, he and Meng Tian could make a decision. However, a guy as big as Seliu would have to make the decision by Ying Gao himself no matter what. Although they also knew that this would waste a lot of time, it was a helpless move.
In the end, the letter was indeed in Ying Gao's hands. Looking at the letter from the king of the ancient temple, Ying Gao's brows also frowned tightly.
Although Ying Gao himself was not sure about the specific cause and effect of the matter, he knew that the matter must have something to do with Seliu. Moreover, Ying Gao had always suspected that only one Seliu was dared to hide Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng and had the ability to hide Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng. Other dynasties are basically nothing but a big place. How could he keep hiding Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng without being discovered?
In the end, Ying Gao summoned Han Xin and confirmed with Han Xin again whether the monarch of the ancient temple country was reliable. When he learned that this guy was an old man with no idea, Ying Gao was even more sure that the monarch of the ancient temple country would never dare to lie in this matter.
"In your opinion, should we attack Seleu?"
When Han Xin heard the words "Seliu", a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "I'm afraid that the matter of Seliu has been determined in the heart of the Lord. What I can't be sure of is just the time to attack Seliu."
"Yes, this time you have arrived on that land. I believe you have a very deep understanding of Seleu. When do you think the war against Seleu should be launched?"
After hearing this question, Han Xin didn't even pause. Obviously, he didn't know how long he had been preparing for this question.
"In my opinion, the emperor has made enough achievements in the internal affairs of the Great Qin in the past two years. The people of the Great Qin and the people of the Mauryan Dynasty have already highly praised the emperor. The same is true for the previous recruitment. The 30,000 soldiers have already been recruited without spending their efforts. This time, the emperor cannot recruit such scattered recruitment. In the territory of the Great Qin and the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, there must be at least 200,000 troops. After a little training, you can station in various cities and replace the defenders from all over the country, which is enough to destroy Seliu!"
When Han Xin said this, his confidence was still very strong, as if Seleu had become the treasure of the Qin Dynasty. However, just by saying that Han Xin had conscripted at least 200,000, he had already attached great importance to Seleu. Otherwise, what he said would be to bring 100,000 troops and get the matter.
Han Xin's statement was actually a coincidence with what Ying Gao thought. What Ying Gao imagined was recruiting soldiers, then replacing mature people, and finally heading to the Mauryan Dynasty to do this. Obviously, according to Han Xin's statement, the time was ripe at this time.
"Yes, this letter gave us a chance. Seleu's big trouble is sooner or later, and it's time to fight. However, I have a requirement for this battle. If you can achieve it, you will be the head coach of this war!"
Of course, Ying Gao knew what Han Xin was most concerned about. For Han Xin, the position of coach in this battle was almost determined to win. Ying Gao originally planned to give him this position, but he could give it to him. Ying Gao wanted a follow-up because he knew what kind of situation would be facing after killing Seliu.
"Your Majesty, it's okay!"
"In this battle with Seleu, no matter how many troops Seleu sent in the end, I don't care what the battle was like. The loss of our Qin army cannot exceed 50,000. If you can accomplish this, you can immediately start preparing for the recruitment. If you cannot, this matter will have to be delayed for a while."
"The loss is less than fifty thousand!"
When Han Xin heard this, he thought about it. Obviously, this was not a simple thing for him. Seliu's troops must be much more than 100,000, or even 200,000. If they want to destroy Seliu, they will definitely resist to death. In this case, the loss will be less than 50,000. Han Xin knew that even Meng Tian could not guarantee it.
Han Xin did not answer immediately, Ying Gao was not in a hurry. He also knew that this was not something that could make a decision after a hot head. Han Xin had to practice in his heart and think about the plan before he could make a guarantee. Otherwise, such a guarantee would be invalid.
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Han Xin raised his head again. This time, the expression on his face changed from solemnity to confidence, and he said, "Just leave this matter to me. The loss in this battle will definitely be less than 50,000!"
What Ying Gao was waiting for was Han Xin's words. After Han Xin's words were finished, Ying Gao smiled slightly and said, "From the beginning of the recruitment, you will be responsible for this matter. I will write a letter to Lu Jia and Meng Tian to tell them not to pay attention to this matter for the time being. When do you think the time is ripe? You can bring troops to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty to inform them of this matter, Meng Tian, Peng Yue, Sima Xin and others. You can dispatch it at will. What I want is the result of this battle, and within a year, I will see the result of this matter."
Obviously, only the two of them knew about this. It was not until Han Xin brought the army to the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty that Lu Jia, Meng Tian and others could not know about it.
This gave Han Xin a lot of freedom, and the conscription was also handed over to him, which meant that Han Xin could control the source of the troops himself. In the history of the Qin Dynasty, no one had such great power. Of course, the pressure on him was as heavy as his power.
Ying Gao's letter was sent back to the Mauryan Dynasty on the same day. Lu Jia and Meng Tian received the message that they asked them to add some people to focus on the actions of the Seleu people, and there was nothing else except that.
Although this made Meng Tian a little angry, and he felt that he could not catch Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng on Seliu's land, Ying Gao's order was Ying Gao's order. Ying Gao's order had been times when Ying Gao's order could not be understood before, but in the end everything proved that the decision Ying Gao said was the most correct decision. Of course, they also had reason to believe that this time was no exception.
At the same time, the person under his command let a spy from the ancient temple country was also known by Antioch III. However, the reward he received was just because the spy didn't know what was going on and had an extremely sensitive reaction, so he avoided their pursuit. They could only confirm that the spy escaped with injuries, but they could not determine whether the spy could return to the ancient temple country safely to report the news.
After learning about this, Antioch III was almost furious. In his opinion, the elite soldiers and powerful generals he sent out would actually let a small spy from the ancient temple country run away. This was a very shameful humiliation. Although he did not kill the person who made a mistake under his command, Antioch III's anger was almost seen by all the generals of all sizes and big names under his command.
Although he was angry, Antioch III had no way to take the initiative to take the initiative to deal with the current situation of himself and the Seleu Dynasty. While he ordered his men to keep a close eye on the situation in the Mauryan Dynasty, he stepped up the recruitment and training of troops. Obviously, Antioch III was fully prepared to fight against the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty at this time.
After all these arrangements, Antioch III summoned Zhao Cheng again to his Seleu Dynasty.
"You may have been suspected by the Qin Dynasty when you are in the Seleu Dynasty. The spies from the ancient temples frequently entered and exited the territory of our Seleu. Although most of them were cleared by us, one of them was still let go under the secrets."
