Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Li Jian stood among the corpses on the ground, watching the smoke and dust splashed by the second prince's soldiers and horses leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If you count the days, Your Majesty's Western Expedition Army should start, right?"

When the Han Dynasty sent troops, the Seleucid Empire happened to be in civil strife. Is there anything more beneficial to the Han Dynasty?

This is the meaning of Nightingale!

Chapter 1223 Goodbye His Majesty the Emperor

After separating from Li Jian, the second prince immediately led his soldiers and horses straight into the palace.

At this time, Antiochus II was discussing the countermeasures nervously with his ministers.

"What did you say?

The second prince actually killed the eldest prince? "

When he heard the news, Antiochus II could hardly believe his ears.

The person who reported the news also said eagerly, "That's the truth, it's absolutely true, Your Majesty.

We must immediately think of a way to see how to deal with the prince. "

After hearing these words, Antiochus II fell into hesitation.

For the Seleucid emperor, he was actually hesitant at this time, because his heart had always been entangled between the two princes.

Sometimes the emperor thinks that the first prince is better. After all, the first prince has the support of many forces behind him, but sometimes he thinks that the second prince is better, because the talent of the second prince is obviously better than that of the first prince.

It is precisely because of this entanglement that everyone in the Seleucid Empire has always felt that the eldest prince or the second prince has a chance to become the next emperor. Betting on the prince's body, the court of the Seleucid Empire was finally divided into two distinct factions.

It was at this time that a governor suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the second prince has clearly started a rebellion. We must immediately summon troops to quell this judgment and punish the second prince."

Just from the governor's tone, it can be heard that the governor is actually a member of the First Prince's faction.

But as soon as his words fell, another governor stood up and immediately refuted: "The following things have not yet been found out. The second prince has always been very low-key and loyal to His Majesty. He has no The reason is to suddenly kill the eldest prince.

As we all know, the eldest prince's personality is relatively violent. Perhaps this time, the eldest prince took the initiative to attack, and then the earring's passive counterattack led to this result. "

It can also be seen from the tone of the second governor that he supports the second prince.

Next, the ministers of the first prince and the second prince also started a very fierce confrontation in the court hall, which caused the emperor himself an extremely headache.

At this moment, a very loud voice suddenly entered everyone's minds.

"Why do you quarrel?

Now that I am standing here, if you have any doubts, please raise them. "

After hearing these words, everyone's eyes subconsciously gathered at the entrance of the main hall, where the blood-soaked Second Prince strode in.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that the blood on the second prince's body was not his blood, but someone else's.

It is worth mentioning that the long sword in the second prince's hand was still dripping down to the ground, dripping with blood.

This scene immediately changed everyone's expression.

Antiochus II couldn't help but said, "What's going on?

Why do you appear in front of me like this? "

When saying this, the emperor himself was very annoyed.

Because in the eyes of the emperor, the behavior of the second prince was simply despising the authority of the emperor.

But what the emperor didn't expect was that the situation today was completely different from before.

The second prince raised his head and smiled at the emperor.

"It's like this, Brother Father didn't know why, but today he ambushed me at the gate of the palace, and he wanted to kill me.

But it's a pity that someone reminded me, so his shameful conspiracy this time can only fail shamefully in the end. "

The emperor's heart skipped a beat after hearing what the second prince said, but he immediately said, "Why didn't I know about this matter?

You should report to me before killing your brother, he should be judged by the law and me, the emperor, not by yourself. "

The second prince shook his head, and said: "Frankly speaking, Father, I actually thought the same way at the beginning, but after so many years, I found that I might have figured out a truth.

The reason is that it is not important who decides the matter itself, but who can obtain the right to make the decision.

Obviously, as the emperor of our Seleucid Empire, the person who sits in the position of emperor will have the right to make such a ruling.

As for me, after so many years, I'm tired of being judged by others, I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of groveling, intrigue, and guessing other people's thoughts every day.

Today is the time to end it all, Father. "

After saying these words, the second prince waved his hand, and a large number of wolf-like soldiers rushed into the hall immediately.

After a brief skirmish, several governors were found dead on the spot.

The other governors knelt in front of the second prince and swore allegiance to him.

Seeing this scene, the second prince suddenly smiled.

He once again set his sights on Antiochus II who was already trembling on the emperor's throne.

"Father, Father, it's all over now, don't you understand what to do next?

Take the initiative to withdraw from the position of emperor, and I can save your life. "

Antiochus II couldn't bear it anymore and let out a roar.

"You are plotting rebellion. It is absolutely impossible for your behavior to be recognized by me. I will have you arrested and judged, and you will be arrested." Antiochus II didn't continue, because At this time, a long sword had pierced through his heart.

The second prince smiled slightly and drew out his long sword.

Then with a bang, Anjok II's body fell heavily to the ground.

The second prince looked at Antiochus II's body on the ground and showed a mocking smile.

"Dear father, you may have been sitting in this position for too long, and you are even so slow in who is in control of the whole situation.

That’s fine, let me succeed you in ruling this country from today on, and create greater glory for our Seleucid Empire. "

After saying this, the second prince stretched his feet like this, stepped over Antiochus II's body, walked all the way to the emperor's throne, then turned around, and sat down slowly facing the crowd.

In front of the second prince, everyone knelt down in unison.

"I have seen His Majesty the Great Emperor!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the second prince's smile gradually became thicker, and finally he laughed very proudly.

From this day on, the former second prince ceased to exist, and was replaced by Antiochus III, the new emperor of the Seleucid Empire!The appointment of every emperor is destined to bring about a change in the power map in the court, and this time is of course no exception.

However, since Antiochus III himself ascended to the throne by killing his imperial brother and father, his purge of the Seleucid Empire will inevitably be more cruel.

There is no way to do this, after all, everyone is fighting each other, so they can only punish each other to death.

It was precisely because of this that the killing in the capital lasted for three days and three nights.

Tens of thousands of people died during these three days and three nights, and more people grew up stepping on their corpses and blood, climbed to a higher position, and gained greater power.

On the fourth day, Antiochus III, who had initially taken control of power, received very bad news.

This is a piece of news reported from the Eastern Governor's District.

"The soldiers and horses of the Great Han Kingdom have invaded our eastern governor of the Seleucid Empire. The number is unknown, but it is definitely more than 5 people.

I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to send reinforcements as soon as possible. We will continue to investigate the number of enemy troops and report to His Majesty the Emperor. "

After reading the news, Antiochus III remained silent for a long time.

In front of Antiochus III, the newly-appointed governors also had a year of panic.

Everyone is not a fool, and everyone can see that the Seleucid Empire happened to be the most turbulent time at this time, but it happened that people from the Han Kingdom came at this time.

This is definitely not good news for the Seleucid Empire, and it can even be said to be extremely bad.

The most powerful enemy was ushered in when it was the weakest, and this powerful enemy hadn't even given the Seleucid Empire any time to react. What should we do now?

The young Antiochus III also had a serious expression on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he finally made a decisive decision.

"Well, you go back to your governor's district immediately, gather all the troops and go to the east of the empire to join me as soon as possible.

This time I want to call all the forces capable of fighting in the empire to have a real contest with the people of the Han Kingdom, and we must stop their footsteps from the Persian region. "

The young emperor made up his mind and planned to fight the Han Kingdom to the death.

In fact, there is no way to do this. After all, Antiochus III had been to the capital of the Han Kingdom, seen the imperial capital, and knew how powerful the entire Han Kingdom was.

So when the news of the war sounded again, Antiochus III knew that this time the Great Han Kingdom came with the absolute goal of destroying the Seleucid Empire.

Since this is the case, then the only way to have a little chance of survival is to gather all the troops in the Seleucid Empire and the Han people to work hard.

Several governors took their orders and left in a hurry. After a long time of contemplation, the emperor said, "Come here, bring me Li Jian."

Two hours later, Li Jian appeared in the hall.

Still wearing the familiar smile of the emperor, Li Jian said with a smile: "I didn't expect that His Majesty, the Emperor, would still have time to summon me. Could it be that something extraordinary happened?"

Antiochus III looked deeply at Li Jian, and then said: "Up to now, the troops of your Great Han Kingdom have entered the territory of our Seleucid Empire, why haven't you escaped yet?"

Li Jian was silent for a while, and then said: "If I said that I want to say goodbye to you before leaving, would you believe me?"

Antiochus III couldn't help laughing: "Don't take me for a fool. Although I don't know how you did it, there is no doubt that the ambush at the gate of the palace a few days ago must be Your people instigated my brother Huang to do it behind his back, didn't he?

The purpose of all this is actually very simple, it is to weaken our Seleucid Empire to the greatest extent, so that the army led by your emperor can destroy our country more smoothly, I am right. "

Li Jian laughed out loud, and even clapped his hands: "That's right, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is indeed talented and intelligent, and our Majesty's judgment and appreciation for you are not in vain."

Antiochus III's face was as usual, and he said calmly: "Of course I know what Brother Zhao is thinking, but I never thought that I would actually meet him on the battlefield one day.

Go ahead and tell him, this time I will gather all the troops I can muster to fight him well. "

Li Jian nodded, and suddenly said: "Actually, I don't want to hit you, but with all due respect, the chance of the Seleucid Empire's victory this time is very slim."

These words did not cause any change in Antiochus III's face. He still said calmly: "There is no abnormality in this world. A war that is sure to win or lose before it starts can only be won or lost in wars." Only after the war is over will we know whose side the goddess of victory is on."

Li Jian continued to nod and walked towards the door of the main hall.

Antiochus III didn't speak any more, just looked at Li Jian's back quietly.

When he reached the gate of the palace, Li Jian suddenly turned his head and said the last sentence to Antiochus III.

"Do you remember what His Majesty told you back then?

In fact, no matter whether they are Orientals or Westerners, everyone can become a Chinese. "

Antiochus III was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Li Jian's words at all.

Li Jian smiled, waved to Antiochus III, and then disappeared from his sight.

After a while, a minister of the Seleucid Empire came out from the side and said softly: "Do you need to kill him?

His Majesty. "

Antiochus III shook his head and said slowly: "Let him go.

Everything he's done has already been done, so it's useless for us to kill him. "

In fact, the young emperor still had a word in his heart that he didn't say.

In this world, the former Second Prince, now Antiochus III has no friends.

It was also for this reason that he really didn't want to kill his friend with his own hands.

Why are all my friends in hostile camps?

The young Antiochus III was actually a little confused at this moment.

But soon he became firm.

Anyway, let us see the truth on the battlefield.

Chapter 1224 Breaking through the Eastern Governorate of the Seleucid Empire

Just when Antiochus III was gearing up for a decisive battle with Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo had already led an army of 20 to run rampant in the eastern governor-general of the Seleucid Empire.

It is really rampant. After all, the entire Eastern Seleucid Governor's District has a total of 8 or [-] troops, and they are not Zhao Kuo's opponents at all.

Although the opponent's soldiers and horses are obviously not opponents, in order to obtain the greatest degree of victory, Zhao Kuo still follows the principle of sudden control.

Under the command of Zhao Kuo, 20 troops raided the northern and southern borders of the Seleucid Empire from the left and right respectively in the form of cavalry, key cities.
