Although Antioch did not say how many people he could lose, according to his statement, if the Romans sent 300,000 troops, it would be a loss-making effect.

Moreover, what Antioch III didn't know from beginning to end was that the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty did not all know the formations, and there were only 100,000 people with such combat power.

This secret is a very important means for Ying Gao to confuse the enemy, and the remaining 200,000 troops were also practicing the formation. It won’t take long for Ying Gao to believe that the nearly 300,000 troops could all use the formation skillfully. In this way, their combat effectiveness could be improved a lot.

"In your opinion, the Romans could not send so many troops?"

"Roman and Macedonia have one thing in common, that is, there are many forces around them who are attached to them. Once they encounter any difficult war, they will definitely send a large number of troops to these forces that depend on them. Their role is to restrain the other party. The previous 100,000 troops may also be sent by their forces. This time is no exception. If they send 300,000 people, at least half will be attached to their forces. There will be no more than 200,000 Romans who are truly capable of fighting."

If Antioch III hadn't told Ying Gao, Ying Gao wouldn't have known this possibility. Now, it is obvious that this is quite possible, but this is definitely a good thing for the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, because the Romans did this and even despised the Qin army. Ying Gao believed that Han Xin and Meng Tian would definitely make them pay the price.

Antioch III's understanding of these forces was just to Macedonia. After all, he had not really sent troops with Philip V to attack any great ability, nor had he ever fought head-on with the Romans. Therefore, his speculation on the ability of Roman cavalry was based on Macedonian standards. Ying Gao was still very cautious in such a situation. Not to mention anything else, Ying Gao believed that Macedonia's ability was definitely not as good as that of Rome.

Looking at Antioch III's eyes, which was obviously without desire, a smile appeared on Ying Gao's face. Then he looked at Antioch III and said in another tone: "You have told me a lot about Macedonia and Rome these days. If you imprison you again, I will be unhappy. From today on, you will be my guest minister of the Qin Dynasty. Except as now, if you have any questions, I will summon you to Xianyang Palace. You can also walk freely in Xianyang City, but if you intend to have any evil actions with the people of the Mauryan Dynasty, your life will really not be saved."

Antioch III was still very surprised when he heard this. He always thought that after Ying Gao had used what he knew in his head, he would still find an opportunity to kill him. After all, he was considered the will of the people in the Seleu realm before, and keeping it would definitely be an obstacle for the Qin rule on the Seleu realm.

But Ying Gao was named his guest official, which was different. Through such a long time of understanding of the Qin Dynasty, Antioch III knew that the matter of being named a guest official required the official personnel of the Qin Dynasty to be registered and announced in the Qin Dynasty's court.

This is equivalent to Ying Gao recognizing his efforts during this period. If he still wants to kill himself directly in the future, Ying Gao actually doesn't have to worry about it. In other words, as long as he stops thinking about those unrealistic things, his life in the territory of Daqin will definitely be better than Salishuga.

"Thank you, I will tell you if you have any questions in the future!"

Seeing that Antioch III really put down his burden, Ying Gao was still relatively at ease. In this case, either kill him or not, he would play a very important role in himself. Otherwise, if something happened in the future, he would not know how it happened.

Ying Gaoyi received the news and quickly passed it to Seliu. At this moment, Han Xin and Meng Tian were not idle either. Han Xin asked Meng Tian to wait in Seliu's territory, and he was in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. Of course, his purpose was to meet another ally of his, Xiang Yu.

In fact, during the period when the Qin Dynasty attacked Seliu, Xiang Yu was still very concerned about the situation in Seliu. He repeatedly sent scouts to inquire about Seliu. When he learned that Seliu's monarch Antioch III had surrendered to Daqin directly, he was quite surprised. Seliu's cavalry thought that he had faced it before, but now he was so defeated in the hands of the people of the Qin Dynasty. He couldn't help but wonder if the Qin Dynasty had always hidden its true strength before.

According to the people under Xiang Yu crawled out to observe, the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty used a method that had never been seen before. They formed a small battle formation, and they were both attacking and defensive.

Under such circumstances, even though the Seleu people had good combat capabilities, they were still unable to resist. In the two wars with heavy casualties, the Seleu people were facing the battle formation of the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Yu knew that this theory of battle formation did not exist when he and Han Xin attacked the Mauryan Dynasty. Although it has been two years now, the Qin Dynasty has mastered such powerful means in such a short time, which is really not something that ordinary forces can achieve.

Xiang Yu knew that if it was really as what his generals said, then his cavalry would definitely be the same as theirs if they faced the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty.

The significant improvement of the ability of the Great Qin cavalry made Xiang Yu feel a deep sense of uneasiness. He didn't know if the ability of the Great Qin army still needed allies like them after undergoing a significant improvement. If the Great Qin really didn't need the cooperation of the Huns now, it would be that the 300,000 army would be able to destroy the Huns in just a moment.

This idea did not exist in Xiang Yu's head for too long. The people he sent out brought back another news. A team of 100,000 people arrived on the territory of Seleu, but was soon repelled by the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty.

There was no force that could produce so many people. Xiang Yu didn't expect it for a while, but Xiang Yu could see that the Qin Dynasty had a new enemy. Before Xiang Yu could figure out what was going on, Ying Gao's letter had already arrived in Xiang Yu's city.

Ying Gao clearly stated in the letter that Seliu was basically under control of the Qin Dynasty, and Seliu's monarch Antioch III had been imprisoned by him in Xianyang City of the Qin Dynasty. However, after conquering Seliu, Ying Gao found that there were countless enemies in the distance that were stronger than Seliu.

So Ying Gao told Xiang Yu that he would be prepared at any time, and said that Han Xin would contact him at the right time. In this case, Ying Gao did not ask him to prepare many troops, but just asked him to prepare the most elite troops of the 100,000 Huns.

Ying Gao wrote the letter himself, so Xiang Yu naturally did not dare to neglect it. Moreover, 100,000 people and horses were not very difficult for Xiang Yu. However, Xiang Yu was very curious about what kind of enemy Ying Gao faced outside Seliu under such circumstances. If he sent 100,000 troops, plus the 300,000 troops Han Xin and Meng Tian were there, it would be nearly 400,000 troops. Xiang Yu never knew what kind of enemy could consume so much.

Now that Han Xin has come in person, Xiang Yu’s doubts will naturally be solved.

The reason Han Xin came here in person was because he and Meng Tian felt that if the Romans really came to attack Seleu, then with the Romans' little understanding of the Qin Dynasty, they would definitely not know the alliance between the Qin Dynasty and Philip V, nor would they know that the Qin Dynasty and the Huns were the powerful opponent.

According to Ying Gao's request, this war with the Romans must not hide their weaknesses. In other words, fighting the Romans requires as much strength as they are. So Han Xin came here to recruit Xiang Yu's 100,000 cavalry.

The alliance with Xiang Yu was different to Philip V. Philip V himself regarded Rome as his main enemy. Now there is a force that actively wants to be an enemy with Rome. Philip V wants to help, and helping others is to be good to himself. Therefore, Philip V accepts Ying Gao's suggestion to form an alliance without any extra motivation, and he will not care about the benefits of Daqin, the little brother he sees.

But Xiang Yu is different. Xiang Yu is equivalent to dependent on the existence of the Qin Dynasty. Now he has clearly seen that he is not as good as the Qin Dynasty, and the gap has been further and further. In this case, no matter who Xiang Yu is, the task is to preserve his own strength to the greatest extent. If there is anything wrong, let the Qin army stand in front as much as possible.

If you want to use someone else’s 100,000 elite soldiers and face such a powerful enemy, then no matter what the final result is, you have to express it to others, otherwise it would not be in line with Ying Gao’s usual style, right?

Han Xin came with a mission, but the first thing he did after arriving was that Xiang Yu asked countless questions in a row, and directly told Xiang Yu about the old truths of Rome and Macedonia.

Han Xin originally thought that what Xiang Yu cared most was what he could get from sending troops. Now it seems that Xiang Yu is still the general who is eager to fight against the strong, because when Xiang Yu learned the power of the Roman cavalry, the light flashing in his eyes must not be faked.

"In this way, it is possible for the Romans to gather an army of 300,000 or even more?"

"That is, they don't have so many people, but they have as many as ten thousand allies and affiliated countries. According to the Macedonian monarch, even if they send a million troops, it is possible. But even if they send a million troops, most of them are vulnerable, just like the 100,000 people who came to our Seleu territory before, they were just coming to die."

Han Xin's words reflected deep disdain for the 100,000 people, and also the Romans' disdain for not treating the lives of these people as their lives.

"How many people can Seleu use now?"

Xiang Yu was an expert after all. He knew that although the Qin Dynasty had 300,000 troops in Seliu's territory, Seliu's guards and various major cities had to divide troops. In this way, there were not as many people who could truly leave the city to meet the enemy.

"Around 200,000, of which 100,000 are very powerful in combat, and the other 100,000 are just the same as the cavalry of the Huns."

Han Xin obviously had nothing to hide from Xiang Yu, which made Xiang Yu feel much more comfortable.

"If this is the case, we really need the assistance of 100,000 people."

"No, the 100,000 troops of the Huns are all surprises for the enemy. Only when the war is tense, will your appearance make the enemy panic. We have also formed an alliance with the Macedonian monarch Philip V, but only aimed at dealing with the Romans. This time, all three of us are defensive, and I think we can make them lose a battle."

Immediately afterwards, Han Xin told Xiang Yu about his and Meng Tian’s plan in detail. What Xiang Yu didn’t know was that the Qin Dynasty had also formed an alliance with Philip V.

Such a formation is completely a net of heaven and earth waiting for the Romans to jump into it. Through this incident, Xiang Yu had already seen that Ying Gao would not be satisfied with a mere Mauryan dynasty, nor with Seleu. He prepared such a large formation for the Romans this time, and as the defender, he would definitely not destroy Rome, so a reasonable explanation is that Ying Gao wanted to wipe out the army sent by the Romans this time.

If that were true, Ying Gao's final action would definitely be not just to let the Romans know their power, because there was no need for Ying Gao to form an alliance with Philip V in that way.

If this plan is really successful, the biggest loss will not be others, but aren’t the allies around the Romans?

Most of Rome's allies were not because of other things, but because his allies thought that Rome was powerful. The first thing that was powerful was that they could not defeat the war. Now that the Romans began to defeat the war, it means that they were no longer powerful. If they were no longer powerful, their allies could only gradually leave them.
