Chapter 643 A Seed
Although Xiang Yu was very curious about Ying Gao's next move, without Ying Gao's notification, he did not dare to act rashly, but could only continue to develop his internal affairs on his own territory.
Xiang Yu at least had one thing more reassuring, that is, when Ying Gao's forces reached this time, Ying Gao did not simply take a one-size-fits-all approach to many large and small forces around him, but most of the forces that did not oppose the Qin Dynasty were retained.
Ying Gaoshang was so tolerant to those strange forces. Xiang Yu believed that Ying Gao would not have a fight at this time for the Huns who attacked this place. What's more, the Huns still had a standing army of 200,000 for the Qin Dynasty to dispatch. This number of elite soldiers could still play a huge role in the battle with Rome.
Facts proved that Xiang Yu's idea was completely correct. When Ying Gao finished all the matters in Seliu, Xiang Yu received a letter from Ying Gao. The content of the letter was naturally to invite Xiang Yu to Seliu to discuss the plan.
Ying Gao did not say anything directly when discussing what was going on, but Xiang Yu knew that at this stage, there was only one thing worth discussing with Ying Gao with him, which was the war with the Romans.
Xiang Yu naturally arrived at Seliu immediately. In fact, according to Xiang Yu's idea, he was really not willing to participate in the war between the Qin Dynasty and the great Qin Dynasty. His knowledge after rushing out of the Western Regions over the years made Xiang Yu know how short-sighted his previous vision was. Almost all of his life had been spent on helping the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty and helping the Chu State restore the country.
When he saw the world outside the Central Plains, Xiang Yu finally realized how insignificant his previous dream was. At the same time, the current strength of the Qin Dynasty also made him realize that there was no end to the process of pursuing strength. In this era, there was Daqin, Macedonia, and Rome. His greatest achievement in his life was to stand with them, and I don’t know how much blood needed for this process.
The number of times Xiang Yu and Ying Gao met can actually be counted with one hand, but Xiang Yu didn't know why. Every time he saw Ying Gao, he was like meeting an old friend of his for many years. Ying Gao seemed to know what he was thinking and could provide what he needed most at the moment. This is a very critical reason why Xiang Yu had never had a fight with Ying Gao.
Of course, Xiang Yu didn't know what kind of temperament he had. Ying Gao knew very well. Ying Gao said every decision and every meeting of Xiang Yu were tailor-made for Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was a person who Ying Gao focused on studying Chinese history in his previous life, which became a key reason why Xiang Yu was able to survive until this time. If Ying Gao had not thought that Xiang Yu's previous life was a very tragic person, he had not made good use of the resources in his hands and had not obtained any good results, Ying Gao would not have tried to bring Xiang Yu's life back to the right track in this era.
"Shanyu must have known what I meant to let you come here this time, right?"
After Xiang Yu arrived in Seliu City, he still saw Ying Gao with a smile on his face. Ying Gao prepared a table of wine and food for Xiang Yu alone, and then he only brought Tian Yan to accompany Xiang Yu. After three rounds of wine, Ying Gao asked this question.
"That's natural. The Lord has staged a scene of watching the tiger fight before, which directly forced the Macedonians to withdraw from the ranks of hegemony. After losing tens of thousands of people, the Romans would not be as strong as before. Since the Lord has arrived here at this time, of course, there is only one purpose, which is to destroy Rome and let the Qin stand in this world."
After hearing Xiang Yu's words, Ying Gao nodded repeatedly. Indeed, Xiang Yu was right. Moreover, not only Xiang Yu could see this situation, but even Philip V and the Romans must have seen it. So now there are famous brands between the Qin Dynasty and the Romans. Ying Gao clearly wanted to hit you, but when to fight and how to fight, the Romans need to control it themselves.
"Not bad, but the Roman cavalry seems to be stronger than ours. If the king wants to attack Rome, he must not only have an advantage in military strength, but also have a full grasp of strategy. He will attack with all his strength. If he fails, he will be very likely to be counterattacked by the opponent!"
Although I knew that since Ying Gao decided to attack, he must have been fully confident, but since Xiang Yu came, he naturally had to express all his thoughts.
"There is no fixed number of wars, and I naturally don't want to be the side of the attack, but now the situation has reached this point. If we let the Romans ignore them, their development will definitely be very rapid. Once the Romans attack us, I will be out of reach in Xianyang. So we might as well take advantage of the fact that the Romans had just lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers and could not recover their vitality within a year or two. It is also very beneficial to our Qin."
Xiang Yu knew as soon as he heard this, Ying Gao was obviously the most important thing. The Qin Dynasty had never stopped making progress, and the Romans were the same. Moreover, the difference between the Qin Dynasty and the Romans was that Ying Gao would not easily leave the Xianyang City where he had lived, while the Roman consuls could lead troops to fight in person. Whether it was Macedonia, Seleuth or the Mauryan Dynasty, he could attack with his own troops.
If the Romans sent troops, Meng Tian might not be able to withstand it with 100,000 and 200,000 people. Moreover, the reinforcements of the Qin Dynasty took a long time to know the news, and it would take a long time to get the cavalry in the Qin Dynasty to support Seleu's territory.
The result is that if the Romans went very well in the first battle, they would defeat the defenders and reinforcements of the Qin Dynasty one by one. Although the Qin Dynasty had the last pass in the Western Regions, the huge territory of the Mauryan Dynasty had been in operation for a long time. There were many people and generals and officials there, especially the young people who stood out through the imperial examinations in the past two years. Ying Gao must preserve this large area of the Mauryan Dynasty. Instead, Seleu can be used as a buffer for entering the Qin Dynasty.
As for the various forces outside Seleu, including Macedonia, Ying Gao was not interested in managing himself at this time, otherwise Philip V would not be able to return to his original place. The reason why Ying Gao did not manage these places was not because he was not interested in these places, but because the population, officials, generals, and soldiers of the Qin Dynasty could not support Ying Gao's control of such a large area.
For Ying Gao and Daqin, defeating the Romans does not mean that they can fully control the world, but that there is no force that can compete with them at this time. This is enough for Daqin. As long as they are smart enough, no force can appear and threaten them.
"Since that's the case, I have more than the Huns, and the 200,000 elite soldiers have never been easily disbanded. These soldiers are still trained like they were in the old place of the Huns. Their combat effectiveness is only stronger than before. With our 200,000 elite soldiers, I think it can make the king easier in the battle with the Romans."
Although Xiang Yu did not say too much, he was also very proud. Xiang Yu had already seen through this period of observation that if the small forces around Seliu were dispatched with 100,000 cavalry from the Huns, he would basically be able to destroy each other.
But Xiang Yu never did that. He did not destroy any forces outside his territory. Of course, it was not because those forces became cowardly after seeing the style of the Hun cavalry, but because he wanted Ying Gao to see that he had no ambition to dominate. Since one-third of the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty and part of the Seleuth territory could fully meet the various requirements of the Huns, he did not think about anything else.
However, Xiang Yu still wanted Ying Gao to take a look at it himself. The cavalry under his command were still very powerful. It was not that he had stopped making progress without any wars over the years.
"If there were no Shanyu's 200,000 elite soldiers, I would not dare to challenge Rome directly. At that time, I hope Shanyu will personally lead his army to go to war with our Great Qin cavalry."
In fact, this is really one of Ying Gao's main purpose. The Hun cavalry is indeed powerful. Long Qi and Ji Bu are also good generals under Xiang Yu's command, but it is definitely different from Xiang Yu's personal leadership of the army. Ying Gao dares to say that the team that Xiang Yu personally led the army must be several times higher than that of Long Qi and their troops.
After hearing this, Xiang Yu looked at Ying Gao, then smiled slightly and said, "Since you have personally arrived in a deserted place like Seleu in order to attack Rome, I naturally cannot watch in the Mauryan territory. General Han Xin and I have joined forces to send troops once, so there should be no problem in cooperation. You can wait for good news in this Seleuyan land at that time."
Xiang Yu agreed to this matter without much effort, which made Ying Gao breathe a sigh of relief. The coaches on his side were basically Han Xin and Meng Tian. With Xiang Yu, Ying Gao was sure to surpass the consuls of Rome in terms of the configuration of the general.
The Romans sent troops differently from the Qin Dynasty. The consul was the only commander, and the remaining generals would obey his orders. This naturally had great benefits. The soldiers' execution ability would be first-class, but at the same time there were also some disadvantages. That is, once the consul of the Romans gave a wrong order, it would be difficult for anyone to correct him. In such a war, a small mistake is often fatal.
On the side of Daqin, Han Xin, Meng Tian and Xiang Yu are equivalent to a triple insurance. Ying Gao doesn't believe that if the three of them lead troops to the same time, they will make mistakes together. If such a thing really happens, Daqin will fail in this battle, it can only be said that the Roman consuls have crushed them in any aspect. You can't win such a war, you can only retreat quickly to ensure safety.
After Xiang Yu agreed to Ying Gao's conditions, it seemed that Ying Gao had all the conditions he had thought about before. Now he was waiting for when Han Xin could send news and open up a road to attack Rome.
But what Ying Gao didn't expect was that when he was about to fight with him, the Romans began to play some fun things.
After Zhao Hu turned over, he spent about a month discovering that the Roman consuls really trusted him, and he really wanted to know as many things as possible about the Qin Dynasty, including the Qin Dynasty's military training methods and some things about Ying Gao.
On this day, the Roman consul was asking Zhao Hu how Ying Gao annihilated his enemies in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, a light of inspiration suddenly flashed through Zhao Hu's head.
Zhao Hu thought of someone, what Zhao Cheng said to him at the beginning.
Before Zhao Gao died, he did entrust Zhao Cheng's safety in Xianyang City to Zhao Hu, but in addition to Zhao Hu, there was also Zhao Gao's confidant who also survived in this world. Like Zhao Hu, he also followed Zhao Cheng's command based on Zhao Gao's last wishes.
Because both this person and Zhao Hu were rescued by Zhao Gao, they always called each other brothers, Zhao Hu as their brother, and this person was also given the surname Zhao by Zhao Gao, named Zhao Gang.
Zhao Hu knew that Zhao Gang was also a capable person, and his kung fu might be a little worse than himself, but unlike Zhao Hu who was so shocking that he could stand in the crowd. Zhao Gang was the kind of person who had a look of ordinary people who brought him. He was much better at hiding than Zhao Hu, so he was sent by Zhao Cheng to find out the news in many places outside Xianyang City.
It was Zhao Cheng's plan that was successful. When they walked from Xianyang City to other places, Zhao Hu learned that Zhao Cheng had sent Zhao Gang to do something, but Zhao Cheng did not tell Zhao Hu what the matter was.
