Chapter 592
"Some things, I am afraid that the Lord is longer than I think. The Lord’s previous request is because after Seleu, we have stronger enemies, right?"
Ying Gao didn't expect Han Xin to say such words at this time. He did know where the real strong men in this era were, but Han Xin didn't know. It was already very difficult to determine that he would have powerful enemies in the future just by saying that Han Xin must lose 50,000 people.
"Yes, but you don't have to think about this for now. Only by destroying Seliu, a somewhat good enemy, can we be qualified to mention the enemy behind the scenes. If it is very difficult to deal with a mere Seliu, there is no need to talk about the enemy afterwards."
"What the Lord means is that if we really cannot destroy Seliu at a very small price and show the extraordinary strength of our Great Qin soldiers, we will not be able to continue to gain a foothold in that land?"
"In that case, our conquest may have stopped at the Mauryan Dynasty. In addition to the Mauryan Dynasty and Seleu, there are actually a large area of territory that has not been developed. However, if our Qin general flag wants to penetrate the world, we have to face more than enemies at this level."
Ying Gao's words were still vague, but Han Xin's heart further confirmed some of his judgments, that is, Ying Gao was taboo about some forces, but these forces were definitely not Seliu, because the previous attack on the Mauryan Dynasty could not explain any problem, so Seliu was the touchstone of the Qin army. Only when the hard bone was able to be gnawed off smoothly can the Qin Dynasty have the strength to talk about the rest.
The reason why Ying Gao has always maintained an ally with the Huns and has helped the Huns seriously in many aspects now seems not because Ying Gao wants to live in peace with the Huns, but because the Qin Dynasty still needs the Huns' cavalry.
This is enough to show the strength of the enemy that Daqin might encounter in the future. When Han Xin thought of this level, he couldn't help but feel a little more energetic. If there was really a very terrifying force in the distance and also staring at the surroundings of the Mauryan Dynasty, then he could only give Daqin more opportunities for development in this battle.
If your sergeant is just like a child in the eyes of others, then no matter how far away they are from you, they will definitely try their best to destroy you.
Seeing that Han Xin was really in deep thought, Ying Gao was still very satisfied. He nodded slightly and then continued: "As long as Xiang Yu can provide us with some information and paths, even if they are involved, this time my Daqin sent troops, wouldn't it be that Xiang Yu and his life would let me see the level that my Daqin has reached?"
At this time, Han Xin had fully understood what Ying Gao was thinking. In this way, Han Xin was not very nervous about this war with Seleu. He knew that he should have confidence, because if he couldn't even get this step, the only thing waiting for him would be failure.
More than half a year of preparations have made the territory of the Qin Dynasty look forward to this battle, both in the military and the people, because they know that after this war, millions of people will become members of the people of the Qin Dynasty, and a vast territory will become the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, they are proud of being a member of the Qin Dynasty and their country is strong. Since ancient times, they have been the vision of the people of this country, and this era is naturally no exception.
Han Xin led a huge army to the direction of Bashu. If it were the time of Emperor Qin Emperor, so much food and grass needed to send troops would be difficult. But now it is different. Almost all warehouses in Daqin were full of food and grass, and almost every household had surplus food. I don’t know how much more taxes were collected. Under such circumstances, the military ration that was the most problematic in the past is now almost endless.
After the team arrived in the Western Regions, Fusu was also very surprised. Because the Western Regions and Bashu were connected to each other, Fusu also heard some rumors during this period in the Western Regions, but he did not expect that these rumors would actually become reality without his knowledge.
Of course, Ying Gao would not hide anything at this time. Moreover, if something unexpected happened to the Mauryan Dynasty, the Western Regions where Fusu was located was their only way out, so Fusu must understand what the Qin Dynasty was doing.
"The general is carrying these 200,000 troops, and the tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, it should be a sure thing, right?"
In this battle, Fusu was naturally concerned about victory or defeat. He was not as conscientious as Ying Gao, and he didn't know what else was on the other side of the mainland. What he could do was to cooperate well in the Western Regions when the war was a problem, so he had to know how much confidence Han Xin had in this battle.
"Young Master doesn't have to care about this battle. If you can't even take a single Seliu, my soldiers from Daqin might as well return to the territory of Daqin. Don't worry, taking Seliu is just a step in the plan of the emperor. If there is really something wrong with the Mauryan Dynasty, you will definitely let the young master know it as soon as possible."
Han Xin said this, which made Fusu feel like Han Xin at the time, but Fusu still had a good understanding of Ying Gao. He vaguely felt that his younger brother might be holding back something big, and destroying Seliu was just the first step in this big thing.
After staying in the Western Regions for a while, Han Xin did not hide at all. The 200,000 army directly came out of the gate and rushed to the direction of Fahrenheit City.
When they first received the notice from Han Xin Pioneer, Meng Tian and Lu Jia were confused and thought to themselves, what are they doing? Why didn’t they say such a big thing in advance?
But both of them knew that their emperor had such a moral character, so they hurriedly welcomed Han Xin into Fahrenheit City, and a 200,000 army was stationed outside the Fahrenheit City.
"What? Take these 200,000 troops to attack Seleu? But the general is so generous, it will not take long for the Seleu's monarch to learn about this."
After hearing what Han Xin came here to do this time, Lu Jia was a little dissatisfied with Han Xin's recklessness. In his opinion, there were many marching routes that could avoid Seliu's detailed work, but Han Xin went directly to Fahrenheit City. There might be nothing else to do, but when this comes, Seliu people will almost certainly know.
"The Lord has an order. This time, we want the monarch of Seleu to know that our cavalry of the Qin Dynasty is going to attack Seleu. Moreover, in this war, the Lord has already given me an order to destroy Seleu. The losses of our Great Qin soldiers must not exceed 50,000. Moreover, from this time, within five months, Seleu will disappear from this world. From then on, there will be only the Great Qin and no Seleu!"
"The loss cannot exceed 50,000. Why did the Lord make such a request? I have fought with Seleu's cavalry. Their combat power is very strong, not comparable to those of the Mauryan dynasty who were negligent in training warriors before. The loss of 50,000 people is really difficult to achieve!"
Even Meng Tian said this, which obviously proved the strength of the Seleu cavalry on the other hand. Moreover, the 200,000 troops of the Qin Dynasty have entered the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty in a bold manner, which is almost equivalent to telling the Seleu people that we are here to attack you. In this way, you must face a very strict defense when you go over. It is undoubtedly very difficult to win such a large Seleu with a loss of only 50,000 people, and it is even more difficult than the war to destroy the six kingdoms before the Qin Dynasty.
"That's true, but the emperor has an order. Since I have taken over the position of commander of Seleu this time, I will naturally follow the emperor's words. However, this time, General Meng Tian will cooperate with me!"
Meng Tian certainly knew what Han Xin said about cooperation one or two. He came with Han Xin and the edict written by Ying Gao himself. In the edict, he had already issued an order to Lu Jia and Meng Tian. That is, Han Xin was the commander of this battle. They must cooperate well what Han Xin asked for. Moreover, Ying Gao specifically informed Meng Tian that Meng Tian was also under Han Xin's commander for this battle.
In other words, Meng Tian also needs to listen to what Han Xin said. Meng Tian had no resistance to this matter. After all, he still recognized Han Xin's ability very much, and even if the order that lost 50,000 people was given to him, he might not be able to complete it.
This task is really too difficult. No one can say anything about the battlefield. Once the loss exceeds 50,000, Han Xin is the one who is mainly responsible. Faced with such a situation, Meng Tian must do his best to cooperate with Han Xin. He can't grasp the things he can't do, of course he can't ruin his job, right?
Besides, whether it is him or Han Xin, they are all for the Qin Dynasty. Their goal is the same, that is, to let the Qin Dynasty move forward in this world and finally achieve the long-cherished wish that they all know in Ying Gao's heart, that is, domination.
The first thing Han Xin did when he arrived here was not to send troops directly to Seliu, but to write a letter to Xiang Yu, and then sent a quick horse to the city where Xiang Yu was. As for the content of the letter, neither Lu Jia nor Meng Tian revealed it.
After the letter was sent, Han Xin did not rush to set off, but rested the army around Fahrenheit City for a while. Obviously, he was waiting for Xiang Yu's reply, but he seemed to have no concern at all about whether Seliu had already known about his arrival.
Indeed, just like what Lu Jia and Meng Tian were worried about, Antioch III's detailed work hurriedly informed Antioch III of this matter after the 200,000 army arrived in Fahrenheit City.
"Hiss...it was actually at this time. It seems that the Emperor of Qin really respected our Seleu's cavalry, with a 200,000 army, plus the tens of thousands of cavalry that had been in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty before, the Qin Dynasty could send 300,000 troops, which was far more than the number of our Seleu's army."
After hearing the news, Antioch III said, although his tone was calm, he was almost nervous. He didn't know what kind of situation this was. Anyway, he had never encountered such a situation since he became the monarch of Seleu.
Antioch III knew that he must be calm. If he no longer calmed down, Seleu would have been defeated before the battle.
"How many warriors do we have in total?"
"Your Majesty, with the newly recruited soldiers, there are more than 200,000 troops. If the army guarding the border is included, there will be about 250,000."
"Twenty-five thousand! OK! The Qin Dynasty can only send an army of 300,000 at most, and they can only attack us from the direction of the Mauryan Dynasty. We still have great hope in this battle!"
Antioch III said this, but his heart was still trembling, because he knew that the combat effectiveness of his soldiers seemed to be inferior to that of the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, and at his doorstep, there were also the Huns, an ally of the Qin Dynasty. Without saying much, the Huns even sent 100,000 troops, which would be enough for him.
Now Antioch III can only build fortifications in hastily while hoping that the Huns will not participate in this battle, otherwise they will really lose their power to resist.
Antioch III thought in his heart, because just as he knew that Han Xin brought his army to the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, Xiang Yu also received a letter from Han Xin on the territory of the Huns not far from Seleu.
In the letter, Han Xin explained his plan to Xiang Yu, and as an ally, he made a request to Xiang Yu, not to borrow troops or generals, but to borrow roads.
If you want to attack Seliu from the territory controlled by the Qin Dynasty, you must go through the territory controlled by the Huns. Therefore, Han Xin proposed to Xiang Yu that the 200,000 to 300,000 troops of the Qin Dynasty might set up camps on the territory controlled by the Huns. Han Xin's meaning is very obvious, but he just informed this matter in advance.
