Daqin: Ask Zulong for the crown prince at the beginning

"The siege of the northern border by the western countries this time is indeed unexpected, but I can tell you with certainty that even if the western countries do not have this alliance, within three years, the northern border will look for opportunities Dominate the West!"

Faced with Ying Ziye's bold ambitions, Chongzhen not only did not feel scared, but even felt a little relieved.

"I've expected it!"

Regarding Ying Ziye's hegemony, Chongzhen understands that it is absolutely impossible to stop at a Great Qin, not to mention that according to the thinking of later generations, Daqin will eventually perish even if it does not have Ying Ziye, but it is a waste of the previous efforts of Ying Ziye to make everything eternal for Daqin , now seems to be in vain.

"However, if these Western countries were not impatient under the agitation of the Seleucid Empire, perhaps they could face this crisis a few years later."

Although it is Ying Ziye who is about to come to the city again, but if people who don't know the inside story see this scene, they will think that Ying Ziye is going to attack the city.

"Then this time, I will see what kind of career you can do in the West, and it will be passed down in history in the future."

The 20-strong army marched hard on the narrow forest path, and the crowd passed through the thorns densely. Although the team was huge and the movement was not small, there were no people around. Fortunately, the news would not spread.

"Admiral, we are about to detour into this path."

Under the orders of General Jamie, the generals of Seleucid are going to bypass the Silk Road and go to the north by the small road!

"Very well, first send a team to clear the obstacles, and then - the army is advancing."

Jamie is very satisfied with the efficiency of his lieutenant general. After all, few people set foot on the road from the west to the north before the Silk Road was built. This time, the lieutenant general can find a way to the north so quickly and without The well-traveled trails are excellent.

At this moment, Rutherford sent troops to the front line to search for news, but the Seleucid army had not been seen coming from the Silk Road for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this time the Seleucid army is bound to win the northern border, and they actually took a detour to avoid interference."

Panama is very clear that there is only one explanation for not inquiring about the news, that is, the Seleucid General Army, in order to avoid Rome's revenge on the way, chose a road that does not pass through the Roman Silk Road, but this is indeed more expensive. Take a few days.

"However, the Seleucid Empire has never guessed that if they really dare to pass through Rome and go to the north, then the Seleucid army will definitely suffer the first wave of heavy losses!"

Rutherford had earlier ordered the soldiers to bury explosives on the road they must pass when they saw the troops of the Seleucid Empire stepping on the Silk Road, waiting for the arrival of the army of the Seleucid Empire. Even if hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be severely damaged, it is still possible to form a small-scale panic.

"This time the battle between the Seleucid Empire and the northern border, the Maurya Kingdom has not expressed its position, and it is neutral."

Panama has already grasped the current situation in the West in recent days. Now these countries are still a small part of the Seleucid Empire, and most of the other parts are neutral. They are neither willing to offend the northern border nor send troops to support Seleucid. Ryugu, but even so, the Seleucid Empire has assembled seven countries. Although they are all medium-sized empires, each country can send 10 people. In this way, the northern border will face more than a million people. , although Winning Ziye is powerful, even if it takes more than a million troops, it can be exhausted!

When the time comes to win Ziye, the Northern Territory will no longer have any hole cards!

"Rome was the power of the whole country when it sent troops to the north. Now there should be hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. With the support of Tomil, although it is not as good as the more than one million troops assembled by the Seleucid Empire, it is also worthwhile to deal with it. enough."

Since Rutherford fought against Rome in the Northern Territory, he has understood a truth very deeply. Evenly matched opponents must win the Northern Territory. If there is a huge difference, the Northern Territory can still be a draw just like the battle with the Great Qin.

Now that the two forces are almost the same, it is hard to say who will win and who will win. Those countries are too happy too early!

"Your Majesty means that the war in the northern border will be won?"

Although Panama does not want to admit this, but based on past experience, the North may not lose.

The Seleucid Empire is still unclear about Ying Ziye's true strength.

"I know why Ying Ziye didn't wipe out Rome, but signed an armistice agreement to protect Rome's survival in the West!"

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?????????????????????

This is what Rutherford has been thinking about for a while. After all, when Tomil I came to support, Rome was already very puzzled. Everyone knew who was behind Tomil.

"His Majesty expresses it!"

Panama did not dare to step on its own side. It is hard for anyone to say what the King of the North is thinking at this moment.

"I also thought about it for a long time, and then I realized that what the king of the North wants is nothing more than a reputation with the western countries. To put it bluntly, what he wants is the whole west, so he is not in a hurry for Rome."

Rome is domineering, or it can make a comeback in the future, and it is only a country in the west. If the whole west is in the pocket of Ying Ziye in the future, will it care who is the king of Rome now?

 …  

"His Majesty?!"

It's not that Panama didn't think this way, but he never thought that his ambition to win Ziye would be so great. In this way, even if the countries don't send troops to the northern border today, they will be defeated one by one by the northern border in the future. A war has put the ambition of winning Ziye on the agenda.

"It's really unpredictable. I don't know if the countries will find out that what they did today is to make wedding dresses for others!"

I couldn't help but sigh, now that the troops of the Seleucid Empire had already marched towards the forest path, but none of the two troops were seen on the Silk Road. This phenomenon made everyone in the north very anxious.

"What did you say? The army of the Seleucid Empire disappeared before the Silk Road?"

"Yes, General, the troops of the Seleucid Empire did not set foot on the Silk Road!"

Zhang Han was very puzzled by this. The Silk Road is the fastest shortcut to reach the northern border. It is really rare for the army of the Seleucid Empire to look far away.

"Presumably they are afraid that Rome will start with it."

Wen Bo saw the clues at a glance. At this time, troops are about to be dispatched. Naturally, one more thing is worse than one less thing. It can make the army of the Seleucid Empire willing to travel two days longer. Rome is also worthy of being the former Western hegemon. It is not as good as before, but the heroism of Roman soldiers imprinted in the hearts of soldiers from all over the world is still undiminished, and it is still awe-inspiring.

Chapter 760

"I don't know where Your Majesty and the army of the Ming Dynasty have arrived. In this way, the army of the Seleucid Empire must be later than the army of the Ming Dynasty."

It is indeed a good thing for the northern border, after all, there are two more days to prepare for the battle.

"His Majesty's army also detoured into that section of the path."

Zhang Han looked at the secret letter sent back in front of his hand. Just as everyone was celebrating the fact that the Seleucid Empire took part in the detour due to fear of Rome, he did not expect that this kind of news greeted everyone.

"What did you say?"

"Zhang Han, are you right? Why did His Majesty go to that path?"

Billy and Ying Ju couldn't believe it, Ying Ziye had no reason to take that path.

"It seems that His Majesty wanted to hide the presence of the Ming army, so he led them into the small road to hide the whereabouts of "Mo Hong"."

"There is no need to panic about this matter. Your Majesty and the army of the Seleucid Empire are in two directions. Even if you take a small road, you will not meet them. However, General Billy, now you need to lead a team to meet them as soon as possible. Your Majesty, otherwise the two armies meet near the northern border, and His Majesty's original intention of taking this road will be exposed."

Chunzi just knew that Ying Ziye had chosen this path for a reason, and if he met the Seleucid army there now, all his previous efforts would be wasted.

"I'm going right now!"

Seeing this, Billy turned around and left the hall, leading a group of people to the small road to report.

On the inaccessible road, Chongzhen and Ying Ziye are leading the army to advance at a high speed. The northern border is about to face the coalition forces of various countries. This scene may only be faced by the Great Qin before its hegemony. The vertical and horizontal alliance was finally broken by the first emperor. To win Ziye this time is to prove to the world that what the first emperor can do, he can also do.

"what sound?"

Ying Ziye, who was marching, heard a slight vibration, which was different from the army behind. The vibration was obviously coming from the opposite direction.

"Someone?"

Ying Ziye looked at the opposite side, although he couldn't see the figure, his insensitive reconnaissance ability told him that there were people running towards him from the opposite direction.

"ambush!"

Ying Ziye waved his hand and ordered the army behind him to hide among the trees. This road is not open to sight and is rugged, so even if someone from the other side has a chance to ambush before approaching.

"Why is there no sign of His Majesty after such a long journey?"

Billy led a team of people, and rushed to inform Ying Ziye as much as possible before the Ming Dynasty army arrived. Who knew that after walking for so long, Ying Ziye and the Ming Dynasty army never appeared, but Zhang Han How could the information be wrong? It was the news that Ying Ziye personally sent people to the northern border.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly an arrow shot at Billy, he turned over and quickly avoided the arrow's attack!

"His Majesty!?"

Billy turned pale with fright. There should be no one else on this road except Ying Ziye, but the situation just now really shocked Billy.

"stop!"

Hearing Billy's voice, Ying Ziye waved his hand and ordered the archers behind him to stop shooting. The trees were lush, and he didn't see who was coming. He didn't expect it to be Billy.

After the attack stopped, Ying Ziye and his party came out slowly behind the tree, and the true face of Lushan Mountain, the 20 Ming army, was in sight.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that it was indeed Ying Ziye and his party, Billy hurried forward to salute.

"Why did you come here? But what happened to the northern border?"

As the general of the northern border, Billy naturally had no choice but to leave without permission. If he came to report at this time, there was no guarantee that the northern border had not been attacked.

"The northern border is not there, but the Prime Minister asked me to come here to inform His Majesty. The Seleucid army is also taking this path. Although Your Majesty is not afraid of confronting them, His Majesty's intentions will be seen through, so the Prime Minister ordered me to come forward." Come and report the news to His Majesty, so that we can make plans as soon as possible."

Billy brought Chun Zigang's meaning to it. Although the two armies are on this road, they will naturally not meet in different directions. The greatest possibility is that they will meet when they reach the northern border, but as long as they meet, they will meet. Destroy Ying Ziye's original intention.

"Chongzhen, it seems that this time we have to step up our actions and reach the northern border ahead of the army of the Seleucid Empire!"

"There is no problem. Our army of the Ming Dynasty is not inferior to any country in terms of marching!"

Chongzhen said proudly!

The 20 troops began to march rapidly, and the sound of horseshoes resounded through the sky...  

"Admiral, there is still more than a day's journey to reach the city of the northern border, the news sent by His Majesty the King."

The general handed the news in his hands to General Jamie, and saw the current status of the countries on the letter. It seemed that even if he took this path, he would fall behind other countries for a long time. The country still has a day or two to go.His 50 army alone did not pose any threat to the northern border, but it made Seleucus lose his confidence.

Jamie frowned as he read the contents of the letter.

"Tell the soldiers not to hurry, but to slow down and march normally."

"What's wrong with the general?"

The general looked at Admiral Jamie in front of him with a worried look on his face. It seemed that there was a mistake in slowing down the marching speed at this time.

"The armies of other countries have just set out. When we reach the northern border, I'm afraid they will take two days to arrive. If the northern border fights with us within these two days, we must not be the enemy. Other countries will definitely hear about it on the way. The wind retreats."

What Jamie said is true. In the past, Rome's 60 troops were no match for Ziye. How could Seleucid's 50 troops pose any danger to the northern border, not to mention the cooperation with other countries this time? This is an exchange of interests. If there is a fight in advance, other countries will naturally not send troops to support the Seleucid Empire when they see that the Seleucid Empire has been defeated. Therefore, the best way is to bind the countries to the Seleucid Empire. Together, we will become the enemy of the northern border together. Even if they want to retreat, it will be too late!

"The subordinate understands, so I will order the army to go up and down!"

The letter from King Seleucid to Jamie was also to slow down his progress. Now he is not in a hurry to fight the northern border. This time, Seleucus has made up his mind to destroy the northern border, so he is not in a hurry.

It is already early winter, but the first snow has not yet ushered in. The climate around the northern border is already very cold. The fierce cold wind hangs on the cheeks of the soldiers, and it is even more difficult for the soldiers in the west. Come on Jamie. The order to slow down the march will undoubtedly make it more difficult for the soldiers.

Chapter 761 Rome's Choice

Facing the severe cold breath, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were also hard to resist.

"Billy, is the equipment prepared for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty complete?"

"It is fully equipped according to the order of the princess."

"it is good!"

Chongzhen couldn't help showing a meaningful smile on his face when he heard the words.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"I don't dare, I just think it's important to have a good wife. Haha"

Sure enough, Ying Ziye knew that Chongzhen hadn't thought of anything good.

"This time, not only will you meet a good wife, but you will also meet the little princess!"

In front of Chongzhen, Ying Ziye can show off not only the versatile women in his harem, but this time Ying Ziye is also a father. Compared with Chongzhen who still has nothing to do, he doesn't know how proud he is.

"You mean you have children?"

With unbelievable small eyes, Chongzhen tentatively asked Ying Ziye in front of him!

"Exactly!"

29 One of the two armies is speeding up, the other is slowing down.

Everyone has their own calculations.

"Your Majesty, the elite of Rome have been assembled."

Timothy was ordered to assemble 20 elite troops in Rome. Now that Rome, which has suffered heavy damage from the northern border, has only [-] troops left, [-] of them need to stay in Rome.

"Your Majesty, you are sure to support the northern border. The Peacock Kingdom has not made a statement yet, and is still neutral. Isn't Rome also?"

Panama was very surprised by Rutherford's decision. Leaving aside the fact that Rome is now beholden to whom, as far as the northern border and the Seleucid Empire are concerned, both are Rome's enemies, and now the two are naturally fighting each other. Scenes seen.

"I have decided that you have to see the situation clearly. In the future, the northern border is destined to be the overlord of the West. Even if Rome does not send troops to support this time, the northern border will never be defeated by the Seleucid Alliance. On the contrary, this time it will be even faster. If the speed of the rise of the northern border is reduced, after this battle, the alliance of the eight countries will be repelled, and then most of the forces in the west will be vulnerable, and then the northern border will be able to dominate most of the west!"

"But!"

What else would Panama want to say? After all, the Northern Territory is at odds with Rome. Now that Rutherford publicly supports the Northern Territory, it is indeed a bit unbelievable.
