Chapter 644 Undercurrent

A seed has not been long in recent years, but it is not short. Zhao Hu knew that the people of the Qin Dynasty are very supportive of Ying Gao now, but there is a place that may be slightly worse. Needless to say, this place is exactly Pei County.

Liu Bang and Zhao Cheng were originally two people who could not even fight each other, but because Liu Bang and many of his men were ordered to be executed by Ying Gao himself, Zhao Cheng secretly had some research on Liu Bang. Of course, both inside and outside the city were through the hands of Zhao Hu and Zhao Gang.

Zhao Cheng knew that Liu Bang and his generals, including those soldiers who had been following him, were almost all the people who rose up in Pei County and surrounding areas. In other words, while Ying Gao wiped out Liu Bang, he had to kill tens of thousands of people in Pei County.

Of course there will be deaths in wars, and these deaths are of course normal, but this is the same as Hu Hai's mind before. Although the people of Pei County have become a little indifferent to the fact that many of their relatives lost their lives because they followed Liu Bang's rebellion against Qin, it would not be very difficult for someone to expose this matter within the scope of Pei County at this time and carry out some processing to ignite the anger of a county.

Zhao Hu didn't know if this would cause some trouble in the territory of the Qin Dynasty, but trying it is always better than not trying it. However, with the current distance between Rome and Daqin, the period of getting news will still be a bit long.

Fortunately, Zhao Hu knew the secret contact information between Zhao Cheng and Zhao Gang. If Zhao Gang was still alive, no matter how far he went there, Zhao Hu could still contact him.

One of the things that was a little unreliable in Zhao Hu's heart was that at this time Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng must have been executed in some unknown place in Xianyang City. If such a big thing happened in the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gang would definitely know if he had been paying attention to the trends of Xianyang City. Once Zhao Gang knew that Zhao Cheng was dead and did not want to respond to Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Hu's wishful thinking would be vain. Regardless of whether Liu Bang's child exists or not, Zhao Hu was beyond the reach.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hu finally decided to reveal this to the Roman consul. After all, once he became a miracle, it could be regarded as a surprise weapon. If he failed, it would not have any impact on the situation at this time. Moreover, if Zhao Hu wanted to contact Zhao Gang, it would be basically impossible to rely on himself. He had to rely on the Roman intelligence network to send his letters to the Mauryan Dynasty, and then send it to the territory of the Qin Dynasty through the Mauryan Dynasty, so that he could reach Zhao Gang's hands.

When Zhao Hu told the Roman consuls, what unexpectedly happened was that the Roman consuls were very interested in this matter.

"If you really have the son of the enemy you mentioned who was executed by the Emperor of Daqin, you must do your best to deal with this matter. Once you can finally mobilize the Emperor of Daqin from the land of Seleu, back to the territory of Daqin. Our plan will be successful. We can use this time to launch an offensive against Macedonia. If this matter is handled well, even Seleu can be defeated by us. Whether the Emperor of Daqin is present or not will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the warriors of Daqin."

The Roman consul was very supportive of his plan, and Zhao Hu was naturally happy. Not to mention anything else, he was sure that Zhao Gang should still be alive. However, according to his age, he was not sure whether Liu Bang's child who had just understood something could survive so old. After all, even if a child without parents in this era had some basic care, the probability of growing up was very small.

The matter was decided by the Roman consul and Zhao Hu on the same day. Zhao Hu wrote a rich letter, which had already expressed his current situation and his requirements for Zhao Gang. Zhao Hu believed that Zhao Gang could only live an incognito life in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. If he knew that he could get rid of such a life, he would definitely spare no effort.

In fact, the Roman consuls before did not have so many thoughts, but through the important events of the Qin Dynasty that he knew from Zhao Hu, he found that a very different thing between the Qin people and the Romans was that the Qin people were very focused on strategy in doing things. Their many battles that won the more with less were actually based on strategy.

The Romans were different. The Romans had always used pure force to solve problems. Their cavalry expanded their territory to the current level, and if they continued to expand, they still needed their cavalry.

This time, the matter of dealing with the Senate was almost the first time that the Roman consul used conspiracy to solve the problem. He had almost never used conspiracy before. This time, he had no choice but to use Zhao Hu because he was eager to gain control of Rome, and used conspiracy to wipe out the entire Senate.

After using this conspiracy, the Roman consul knew one thing, that is, what is done in secret is easier than it is on the surface. Although sometimes the risks may be greater, the cost is very small.

For example, when the consul asked Zhao Hu to assassinate those veterans before, once things failed, as long as the consul killed Zhao Hu who had been in contact with him, there would naturally be nothing left, and he would almost never pay any other price.

For example, the matter raised by Zhao Hu this time is that Zhao Hu himself stayed in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. If he took advantage of this matter, even if he failed, it would still have no impact on him. It was just that Zhao Hu's internal force who stayed in the territory of the Qin Dynasty might be in trouble.

For Ying Gao, the first thing he could not have imagined was that Zhao Hu and Qi Yi, two fish that were missing, went directly to Rome, and were also valued. Moreover, he could not have imagined that Zhao Cheng would have such a skill in the territory of the Qin Dynasty.

When the two countries fight, each rely on their own abilities. Ying Gao's current ability is to unite all the forces that can be united in the world, thus forming a force that is much stronger than he does alone, and then find a path that the Romans could not imagine and give them a fatal blow.

The Rome consul's current ability is to prepare for defense while trying to use some conspiracies behind it to weaken Ying Gao's power.

In fact, the consul of Rome did not realize this. The reason why Ying Gao used some strategies to win the battle before was not that Ying Gao was born to use strategies to win the battle. Ying Gao also liked the players who were head-on, but in the process of consolidating the Qin Dynasty, all the opponents he faced were stronger than him. This was not something he could choose. If he really had the strength, who would be willing to use a roundabout way to deal with the enemy?

In other words, when the Roman consuls changed his usual frontal strategy when facing Ying Gao, he adopted the so-called strategy. In the final analysis, it was because the Roman consuls did not have any confidence in winning when facing Ying Gao head-on. He was afraid that once Ying Gao's Qin cavalry attacked his territory with their allies under his command, it would create a very passive situation for him, and even shake the Roman dynasty's rule over this area.

The war is indeed cruel and cannot be lost, but Ying Gao has never been afraid of anyone. Whether it was Zhao Gao and Yan Le who were always trying to kill him in the Qin court at the beginning, or he had never brought his troops to quell the rebellion later, Ying Gao has always been attacking, no matter whether he had more or fewer people under his command, he had never been passive.

Because Ying Gao knew that once passive became a habit, the only thing waiting for him was to perish. From destroying Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, to defeating the Huns, the Mauryan Dynasty, Seliu, and the Qin Dynasty, the territory of the Qin Dynasty had never been violated by any large and small forces. If Ying Gao had been guarding the one-acre and three-point land of the Qin Dynasty without doing any moves, then forces like the Huns and Nanyue would always covet the Qin Dynasty's territory.

It is precisely because Ying Gao knows this, and he has seen too much history in later generations that he knows one truth, that is, if the enemy dares not attack you, the only way is to destroy them.

This is the only criterion that Ying Gao believed in this era. It is precisely through this criterion that Ying Gao's men were unstoppable in these few years. Although it seemed that they had just taken over a Mauryan Dynasty and Seliu, which was next to the Mauryan Dynasty, there were still hundreds of forces in between, but the real remaining one was Rome.

At this point, Ying Gao was even more unlikely to stop his steps. He knew that what he was doing was something that no one had accomplished in later generations until more than two thousand years later. If the descendants of Yan and Huang became the master of this world in this era, Ying Gao believed that although their rule might not last for a long time, it would definitely last for a long time.

Han Xin's progress was far lower than Ying Gao's expectations. Seeing that he might not be able to return to the territory of the Qin Dynasty on time, Ying Gao also felt relieved and had come to peace. If Ying Gao returned to Xianyang City at this time, he would have to give the soldiers here who were preparing to fight with the Romans. The emperor might not attach great importance to us very much.

Once these soldiers felt this way, Ying Gao knew that this battle would be difficult to fight. After all, they were teams led by the consul himself, and the level of leadership itself was different.

Just when Ying Gao was a little anxious, a news from Rome made his brows tightly lock.

Meng Tian has been in Seleu for a long time. In addition to his good ally Philip V, Ying Gao was very relaxed to know some major events in the Roman realm. Since Ying Gao reached Seleu's realm, news from the Qin and Rome will be given to him regularly. Only through the news of his rear and the enemy can Ying Gao decide whether he should continue to stay here with peace of mind.

The news came from this was that the five senators in the Senate, which had the main authority in the Roman court, all died suddenly in various places within a month. This directly led to the collapse of the Senate. None of the Roman nobles were willing to be the position of this senate, because they did not know when death would come after they became.

"This must be the work of the Roman consul. At this time, he understood the Senate and obviously wanted to concentrate all the Roman power in his own hands. Only in this way can he make all the Roman nobles and army obey his command, and in this way can he exert the greatest energy in the war with us."

After Ying Gao received the news, he immediately summoned Meng Tian and Xiang Yu to his side. This has to be said to be a big deal. Before, Ying Gao had always been counting on the conflict between the Roman Senate and the generals who led the troops to make his offensive path smoother.

It is obvious that the consul of Rome realized this, so he chose to do it at this time, and did it neatly.

Ying Gao knew that his opponent must be very difficult, because the Senate had existed in Rome for a long time. The Senate represented the best among the Roman nobles. He was able to kill the Senate without revealing any flaws within a month. This was not something that an ordinary person could do. In addition, the Roman consul was able to win several consecutive battles with the elite Macedonian cavalry led by Philip V himself, which shows that this guy is one of the few talents in the world.

"Your Majesty, since the enemy has already taken action, should we lead the army to attack while the Roman consuls has not fully controlled the nobles in their territory? Otherwise, if we wait for two months, and when he completely controls everything in Rome, we will attack again, it will not be so simple."

Meng Tian gave his own opinions at that time. He always thought that with their current military strength, it would be enough to attack. After all, they still have the support of the Huns and Philip V. It was basically a matter of sure to fight three to one.

"No, all we can rely on in this battle is our own cavalry."
