Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 272 Unfavorable
The next day, the Xiqiang envoy showed joy, followed Daqin to say goodbye, and slowly left Zhangtai Palace in a carriage. He would return to Xiqiang Kingdom with a letter of alliance.

However, before the plan failed, Xiqiang and Daqin were still hostile. The envoys knew about the plan, but they could only pretend to be ignorant and bid farewell to Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng's face darkened, and the corner of his mouth showed a smug arc, and he flicked towards the distance from time to time.

Treating its own body in the same way as its own, the Maurya Dynasty will inevitably pay a heavy price for what it has done.

However, except for San Gong, the civil and military officials in the DPRK knew nothing about it. They were still immersed in the fantasy of cooperating with the Maurya Dynasty.
Naturally, they are not as far-sighted as Li Si and others. Once the Western Qiang Kingdom falls, the strength of the Peacock Dynasty will be strong enough to compete with the Great Qin, and it is time for the two countries to meet each other!

If you help the Xiqiang Kingdom to exterminate the Maurya Dynasty, I am afraid that things will develop in another direction. The threat of the West Qiang Kingdom is far less terrifying than the Maurya Dynasty, and it is absolutely not qualified to be an enemy of the Great Qin!
Moreover, I have helped them regain the lost land, and I have won the greatest benefits for them. It is too late for them to thank them, so they will naturally follow Daqin willingly.

Now we need to reorganize our troops and horses to prepare for the next year's battle!
The Maurya Dynasty is my next target to conquer!
Qin Wangzheng issued an edict ordering Han Xin, Zhang Han, and four generals, Feng Linhuo, to enter Zhangtai Palace.

Han Xin's face was tense and his brows were tightly furrowed. A few days ago, they replaced Meng Tian and other generals in charge of guarding the border, while the rest of the generals retired one after another. They took over the burden from Meng Tian!

However, they had not rested for a few days when they were summoned to the palace, fearing that something big might happen.

Qin Wangzheng didn't tell them the plan immediately, but slowly said: "One month ago, Daqin just conquered the Huns, captured King Zuo Xian of the Huns, and forced Mao Dun to commit suicide, but Daqin suffered heavy losses. Right now, it should be recuperating. perfect time! But”

As soon as they heard it, everyone's originally joyful faces darkened instantly, and Han Xin frowned. It seemed that something he didn't dare to think about still happened!

I saw Qin Wangzheng's complexion darkened, and there was a hint of evil in his eyes, and he said slowly: "The decisive battle between the Western Qiang Kingdom and the Peacock Dynasty is imminent, and our country has signed an alliance with the Maurya Dynasty, but the Maurya Dynasty is definitely not simple, and I am afraid there will be another Attempts, we have to be more careful!"

All the soldiers nodded heavily. The Maurya Dynasty is indeed a tricky country, but right now Daqin is recuperating and has agreed to the Maurya Dynasty. If it turns around and attacks the Maurya Dynasty, wouldn't it be a backlash?
The most worrying thing is the true intention of the Maurya Dynasty. There will be no pie in the world. The Maurya Dynasty has given so many benefits to the Qin Dynasty and even handed over national treasure-level cultural relics. It just hopes that the Qin Dynasty will stand still. I am afraid it may have other intentions!

However, Qin Wangzheng said indifferently: "So Daqin has to guard against it. Although the two countries are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, the distance makes it impossible for the two countries to go to war, but they also need to train troops, guard the border, and beware of the actions of foreign countries, especially peacocks. Dynasty's sneak attack!"

Han Xin nodded heavily, and now that Meng Tian pushed him out, he naturally became the general of the empire. Once he belittled Meng Tian, ​​belittled Wang Jian, and blew himself into the sky. Now it's time for him to show his talents!

General Qin Wangzheng glanced at Han Xin, with a joyful expression on his face, and solemnly said: "One hundred thousand soldiers in the blue sky camp, and one hundred thousand soldiers in the border area are at the general's disposal!"

"The training of the soldiers is entrusted to the general, and I hope the general can train an invincible tiger and wolf division again!"

"As for the food and supplies, I will hand it over to General Zhang Han, and the four generals Fenglinhuo will fully cooperate!"

Many generals nodded frequently, with a faint smile on their faces, and the Huns were no problem. Could it be that the mere Maurya Dynasty can defeat the opponent?

Han Xin has investigated the details of the Peacock Dynasty and the past of the Western Qiang Kingdom in advance. The Peacock Dynasty was a dynasty that rose suddenly, and it was only a century before and after. The background of the dynasty is far inferior to that of Daqin.

In addition, the glorious period of the Maurya Dynasty was only the period of King Ashoka. The comprehensive national strength of that period was enough to compete with King Qin Zhaoxiang, and it was no problem to fight against the Six Kingdoms.

And King Ashoka was also a hero of a generation. He led the soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty to conquer the east and the west, conquered most of the territory, and was comparable to Qin Wangzheng!

But since the death of King Ashoka, the Maurya Dynasty has been torn apart, and now that Shari Shuka has inherited the throne, the territory of the empire may not have been much in its infancy!
Because the king of the Maurya Dynasty has supreme power, in order to fight for power, the country has self-injured and murdered brothers and sisters, coupled with the promotion of religion, since the death of King Ashoka, the Maurya Dynasty has fallen into endless internal friction!
This internal conflict has almost exhausted all the financial and material resources of the empire. As a result, the overall background of the Maurya Dynasty may be far inferior to that of the Xiongnu, but it is still more than enough to fight against the Western Qiang Kingdom, and it is even enough to crush the Western Qiang Kingdom.

The Peacock Dynasty did not make too many outstanding achievements, so that Daqin did not hear the prestige of the Maurya Dynasty, and even many people felt a little contemptuous when they heard the Maurya Dynasty. Daqin still did not call itself a dynasty. How dare you come?

When they learned of the alliance between the Maurya Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty, all the officials in the court even felt that there was something to be done. The Peacock Dynasty was a small country with few people, so it was natural to show a certain amount of respect to a celestial kingdom like the Great Qin Dynasty!

Although I don't know that the soldiers of the Great Qin may have underestimated the enemy, the rise of the Peacock soldiers who can conquer the north and south is not an instant thing, and it must be hard work.

In addition, with an emperor like Sari Shuka strategizing in the rear, I am afraid that winning the Maurya Dynasty will be the same as fighting against the Xiongnu, which will seriously damage the vitality of the Great Qin Dynasty!

Moreover, the Maurya Dynasty has natural geographical advantages, and their country has a terrible creature-elephant.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals Ancient Music" records that "merchants serve elephants to abuse Dongyi. Zhou Gong chased them with his teachers. As for Jiangnan, it is "Three Elephants".

This sentence means that the people of the Shang Dynasty domesticated elephants and used them to conquer Dongyi. However, after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, Duke Zhou marched eastward and drove the Shang Dynasty's war elephant troops all the way to the south.

Elephants are majestic, and they can be used in wars after being tamed. They are very sharp, and they are definitely a thorny problem for the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty!
However, after Han Xin left, he still shouldered an important mission, and said lightly: "The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to face it!"
