Daqin: You were asked to build the Great Wall and you destroyed the Huns?

Chapter 381 The Situation in the West

When the Xianyang Forbidden Army moved south.

The 200,000 royal court light cavalry from the north and the 30,000 light cavalry led by Han Xin have also arrived in Bajun.

Next, they only need to walk along Wuchi Road to reach the gathering point set by Ying Xuan.

Further south, Zhang Han, who was quietly waiting for the enemy's counterattack in Mount Noah, also explored the entire mountain thoroughly.

They also set up extremely dense traps in various dangerous passages and ambush sufficient troops.

At this moment, Mount Noah can be regarded as a piece of iron.

At the seaside, Chang Lin's 30,000 soldiers used hundreds of large ships to completely block the coastline.

It can be said that even if a wild boar wants to cross the border, it will have to receive two arrows.

Even if the Maurya Dynasty had an army of one million, they would pay a heavy price if they wanted to take revenge.

……

In the west, the capital of the Mauryan Dynasty, in the Fahrenheit City.

The depths of the tall and gorgeous palace were bustling with activity at the moment.

On both sides of the hall, maids carrying fruits and delicacies filed in.

In the palace, King Ashoka was sitting on the throne, half-lying down, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Completely immersed in the song and dance of the female prostitute.

On either side of him below.

The tables were arranged neatly, and the maids took turns placing fruits and delicacies in front of the table.

Several men in serious clothes, which were extremely inappropriate for this scene, had slightly reserved expressions on their faces.

From time to time, ministers were raising glasses and toasting.

Several men only dared to take a sip.

I don't dare to drink more.

It wasn't until the song ended and the dancer retreated that Ashoka sat up slightly.

"Why don't the envoys drink?"

"Is my Maurya wine not to my liking?"

"Are these dancers just bad-looking?"

Looking at Ashoka who looked slightly confused.

Several men below stood up in a slight panic.

"That's not the case, it's just that we have a heavy responsibility and don't dare to covet good wine and beautiful women before we accomplish the task."

The original intention of several envoys was to draw out the purpose of their coming.

But who knew he had just finished speaking.

Ashoka's erratic and confused look suddenly became sharp.

"Oh?"

"Didn't some of you just say that you are here just to do business with me, the Maurya Dynasty?"

"Why did you get another important task so soon?"

Ashoka's accusing tone made several people look at each other.

He knew that if he didn't explain his purpose, he would probably anger King Ashoka.

The strongest man among them took a step forward.

Get down on one knee.

"Dear Ashoka, under your leadership, the Maurya Dynasty has become stronger than ever."

"Now the entire Western world knows that there is a powerful country in the East."

"Even Alexander the Great stopped here!"

"Your deeds will be remembered for thousands of years."

These words did not make Ashoka stop looking at him.

The strong man could only bite the bullet and say.

"But if that's all, are you willing to do it?"

"You are still so young and you still have more things to do."

"No nation will think that land is enough!"

“As long as there is still opportunity, anyone can continue to expand.”

The man's words made Ashoka narrow his eyes and snorted coldly.

"So, this is the reason why you Anxi (Patria) persuaded me?"

"A small nomadic tribe in the south of the Seleucid Dynasty. They just founded the country and want to find allies to share the Seleucid Dynasty?"

Ashoka leaned back again and said arrogantly.

"You think too highly of yourselves!"

Ashoka's straightforward words made several envoys from Patria look ugly.

But the strong man was not discouraged. Still spoke respectfully.

"The Parthian Dynasty is indeed still in its infancy."

"Compared to the declining Seleucus, there is still a big gap."

"Not to mention compared to the Mauryas under Ashoka."

The muscular man first turned a corner and flattered him again.

Ashoka raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised that they could be so humble.

His curiosity was aroused for a moment, and he sat up straight again.

When the man saw this, he immediately got to the point.

"However~ King Asoka may not know that the current Seleucid dynasty is surrounded by enemies from all directions."

"It's almost time to be eaten!"

"That northern Asia Minor (Türkiye) has just been captured by Macedonia."

"The Thomyl dynasty in the southwest even seized a large territory (losing Palestine)."

"Not to mention the Kingdom of Bactria in the East and the Parthian Dynasty (Patria) in the Southeast, they have long been independent."

"The current Seleucid dynasty is almost in name only."

"At this time, don't you want to get a share of the pie?"

The man's words made Ashoka narrow his eyes.

He really didn't know why Seleucus suddenly became so weak.

"Some time ago, Antiochus III was accumulating strength, didn't he still have the intention to conquer the lost land?"

"It is said that it is powerful and has cavalry that is not weaker than Alexander the Great!"

"Why did it suddenly become like this?"

The muscular man also smiled.

"Now we have to talk about your new neighbor - Kushan!"

"The Kingdom of Bactria was captured by this tribe in a short period of time."

"And Antiochus III, who went to support and wanted to take this opportunity to recover the lost territory, was also defeated and captured alive."

"Seleucus has not been able to replace Antiochus III so far."

"This battle also completely destroyed Seleucid's most powerful cavalry, so when the news leaked."

"Only Western Macedonia and Ptomel were so decisive."

These words made Ashoka frown immediately.

I was unsettled for a while.

The minister beside him hurriedly stepped forward.

He took the words with a sneer.

"The Seleucid dynasty and my Maurya dynasty are not connected to each other."

"Even if it collapses, what does it have to do with us?"

"If you want to get more of Seleucid's inheritance, you can't seek medical treatment in a hurry."

"Can we still send troops across the border through your country?"

But who would have thought that the muscular man shook his head slightly.

"Your Excellency is wrong."

"I, Patria, am not at the point where I need help from someone to divide my body."

The minister was stunned for a moment.

"Oh? You don't need our help? So what's the purpose of coming all the way here and sending a large amount of treasures?"

The muscular man raised his head again, raised his chest and said.

"I'm here not just for Patria's personal gain."

"We want to expand and annex the territory of the Sesugu Dynasty."

"But Guishuang on the east side is watching eagerly."

"Their ability to defeat Antiochus III scares us."

"But fortunately, they have just swallowed Bactria, and now they should have no energy left to expand westward."

"But even so, we don't want to take risks."

"That's why I came here to ask the Maurya Dynasty to send troops to contain it."

At this moment, the messenger's purpose was finally revealed.

"However, this time it's not entirely for us!"

"The origins of this Kushan clan are unknown, and they seem to appear suddenly."

"It is still completely suppressed in the north of the Maurya Dynasty."

"If they grow stronger, I'm afraid the Mauryan Dynasty will also be threatened by them!"
