Chapter 627 Cooperation

Ying Gao's words should have pointed out Philip V's problem to the point. Ying Gao's heart was very clear. Naturally, the Qin Dynasty could not let Philip V use it as a gun.

"Since the king has seen Philip V's mind, we must not let his plan succeed. Even if our Qin Dynasty does not send troops, they will attack if they should attack. Why don't we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"

Seeing that Ying Gao seemed not to want to send troops to fight with Philip V, Han Xin could only start to follow Ying Gao's words again.

But after hearing Han Xin's statement, Ying Gao waved his hand again and said with a smile: "We and Philip V have signed an alliance. During this period, Rome was our common enemy. Now that the Romans have defeated our allies, if we ignore them, it will not be consistent with our usual style of Qin."

"Mr., this is a trap of Philip V. If we don't send troops, we will put us in such a situation. What should we do?"

Ying Gao's words directly confused Han Xin. Han Xin didn't know whether Ying Gao was going to attack or ignore Philip V's request. If he sent troops, Han Xin must have set off with his troops. If he didn't go, it would have nothing to do with him. Therefore, Han Xin was still very concerned about this matter.

"You can send troops, but it must be done in our way. And I will never directly send my elite troops from Daqin to such a far distance from Daqin because of the request of Philip V. Such a long journey, no matter what Philip V can give us in the end, it will be a loss."

"What does the Lord mean?"

"Because of this matter, our Qin Dynasty will definitely not send more than 50,000 troops. General Meng Tian of this scale can be solved. Moreover, if this matter is to be done, I want to bring Xiang Yu into this matter. I will explain in the letter to Philip V that the Qin and the Huns can send a total of 50,000 troops, our Qin Dynasty and the Huns will send 30,000 troops, and the Huns will send 20,000 troops. If there are more, we will be powerless!"

When Han Xin heard this, he really couldn't understand why Ying Gao would let Xiang Yu participate in this matter. After all, this is something that Philip V will repay you once you have achieved success. If Xiang Yu is also involved in this matter, no matter whether Xiang Yu sends 20,000 or 30,000 troops, Xiang Yu must get benefits in the end. In this case, it will undoubtedly squeeze out the share that Daqin should have.

Seeing Han Xin like this, Ying Gao patiently explained: "Our Qin's appetite seems to be that great. If we don't give these achievements to the Huns, Xiang Yu will have some bad ideas at that time. And if we cannot directly wipe out the Romans this time, we will not know how much the hatred between the Romans and the Qin will increase. If the Romans think that the Qin is easier to deal with than Macedonia, our minds will directly point the finger at the Qin. Only by continuing to unite the Huns, can we advance and retreat with the Huns in the future when facing the attacks of the Romans that may come."

This time Han Xin understood that he knew that this was the decision that Ying Gao would not offend anyone. Didn’t Philip V want me to send troops to help you deal with the Romans? I can indeed send troops, but we have the final say for how many troops sent. 50,000 elite soldiers are not too much, but it is completely a lot less. Even if Philip V thought that Ying Gao should send 100,000 troops, he would want or not have these 50,000 people, which would have a huge impact on the victory or defeat relationship between him and the Romans.

Another point is that Ying Gao did not help Philip V himself, but also brought his ally Xiang Yu. In the battle to guard Seleu, Xiang Yu and his Xiongnu cavalry had already shown their faces in the battle, and their combat effectiveness was obvious to all. Ying Gao believed that the generals under Philip V would definitely inform Philip V of this detail after returning to Macedonia. Now that he had such a powerful comrade, why would Philip V not do it?

In addition, Ying Gao's move was also expressing his position to Philip V and the Romans, that is, the Qin and the Huns are now on the same side as Philip V, and Rome is their common enemy.

Based on these points, even though Philip V may be a little dissatisfied, he would definitely not reject Ying Gao's proposal because of such a little dissatisfaction.

Ying Gao always made decisions when doing things. Once he made a decision, Ying Gao would not think so much. He immediately wrote a letter, one letter was for Meng Tian and the other letter was for Philip V. Han Xin and other generals guarding the territory of the Qin Dynasty did not change at all, and they even had no decent discussions on this matter. In fact, the officials of the Qin Dynasty were already used to such situations. Ying Gao still allowed them to discuss daily affairs in the court, but for such a big thing, Ying Gao thought that he would only discuss with people related to this matter.

When Ying Gao's letter arrived at Seleu, Meng Tian had actually known that Philip V and the Romans had started a war on Egypt's territory. Meng Tian also knew that the Qin Dynasty had signed a covenant with Philip V to deal with the Romans together, but Meng Tian also knew that his task was to guard Seleu's territory here, rather than to care about those unrealistic things.

In Ying Gao's letter, Ying Gao told Meng Tian that if Philip V uses troops to the countries in the Mediterranean region again, Meng Tian would give them some support, but this time the Qin Dynasty only sent two deputy generals and 30,000 cavalry, and these 30,000 cavalry could not be those cavalry proficient in formations, but only cavalry that were slightly worse among the elite soldiers.

Although Ying Gao’s official explanation was to let these people see blood, Meng Tian certainly knew that this was just a way that Ying Gao did not want the true strength of his cavalry to be exposed to the enemy’s nose.

At the same time, Xiang Yu also received news that Ying Gao did not conceal the news of his alliance with Philip V against the Romans with Xiang Yu, and explained that this time was directly invited by Philip V. Ying Gao wanted to advance and retreat with Xiang Yu, and proposed that he would send 30,000 troops and 20,000 troops from the Huns. It also showed that if Philip V, who sent troops this time after defeating the Romans, would be beneficial to them, these benefits would definitely be equal to the Huns.

Xiang Yu actually had no reason to refuse such a proposal. He is not afraid of Ying Gao and him sending troops together, but he is afraid that he will go out with Philip V to play, but he will not take him with him. If that happens, it means that the Qin Dynasty annexed the Huns.

The last person who received the letter was Philip V. After reading Ying Gao's letter, he always felt unsatisfied. Ying Gao's guess was correct. Originally, Philip V thought that he would send 100,000 troops and the Qin Dynasty also sent 100,000 troops so that he could attack Egypt.

But now people are only willing to send 50,000 troops, and it is a coalition force between the Qin and the Huns, which is a little bit of ambition.

It was almost meaningless, and the 50,000 elite soldiers were already quite a helping hand to Philip V. After all, he heard from his generals that the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry was almost the same as that of the Qin cavalry.

After thinking about it for a while, Philip V could only acknowledge this fact. He knew that Daqin had only 100,000 troops here. It was absolutely impossible for him to let Daqin use all the 100,000 troops on him. From this perspective, there was no greater difference between Daqin sending 50,000 troops and 50,000 troops with the Huns.

"Now we have the help of the Great Qin and the Huns, and the attack on Egypt is just around the corner. You set off tomorrow and meet the Great Qin general Meng Tian in the Seleu camp to see how powerful the troops he sent us have."

The day after receiving the letter from Ying Gao, Philip V issued such an order in his court. Although the last battle had not been long, the failure made Philip V very unhappy. Although Philip V fought hard in the last battle, he might not have failed. However, from the current results, if he lost, he would have lost. The people of Macedonia and the people of Rome did not think so, so Philip V had to quickly recall the venue.

When the envoy of Philip V arrived in Selemontian's camp, he found that the person had prepared as promised to give Philip V 5, and the 20,000 elite Huns had arrived.

After being warmly entertained by Meng Tian, ​​Meng Tian informed the envoy sent by Philip V that the 50,000 army, generals, and the Xiongnu Shanyu Xiang Yu were all ready. What he is waiting for now is to let him take the army over.

Of course, Meng Tian also asked this general to bring a message to Philip V, that is, if Philip V regarded the Qin and the Huns' army as a suicide squad, Meng Tian would definitely not be able to spare them.

As a result, it was not enough for three days that the Macedonian general returned to Macedonia with 50,000 troops. Even he himself did not expect that the Qin Dynasty and the Huns trusted Philip V so much, and even a master general was sent out, so that the 50,000 elite soldiers would come out with him without sending him out.

In fact, to some extent, the 50,000 people did not substantially improve the strength of Philip V, but in public opinion, the pressure these 50,000 people brought to the Romans was very great.

As soon as the 50,000 troops were in place, Philip V immediately issued a manifesto to the Egyptians and the Romans.

In the manifesto, Philip V claimed that it was a normal war to attack Egypt, but the Romans came out to insert a jar regardless of their own relationship with Egypt. It was a violation of the rules. Under such circumstances, the Qin and the Huns from the distant East could no longer bear it. They sent troops in great anger to help Philip V rectify the arrogance of the Romans.

If you say this, let alone the others, the Romans suddenly became a force that everyone called for fighting in the mouth of Philip V. The rise of the Qin Dynasty has attracted a lot of attention throughout the world. Not to mention, the Qin people have developed to this day. Although others are very unaware of the history of the Qin Dynasty, there is one thing that the Qin Dynasty has almost never suffered any defeat. People say that they took the Mauryan Dynasty and took it directly, and people say that they took Seleu, and that they would capture Antioch III.

And because of Seleu's incident, the Qin Dynasty really made enemies with the Romans, and it was no secret that it would kill the Romans, which was known as 300,000, and abandon their armor.

Before, the Romans had only one enemy, Macedonia, and in the eyes of many people, the Romans still had a lot of advantages over Macedonia. However, if the Qin Dynasty was added to the Macedonian camp, everything would not be necessary.

Before the war came, public opinion came first, and the news soon passed to the ears of the Romans. At this time, the Roman consul had just seized most of the power from the Roman Senate. In the process of fighting for power, neither the consul nor the Senate paid much attention to Philip V and the Qin and others.

According to their previous ideas, such a whole thing should be enough to make Philip V honest for a long time, but they really didn't expect that after so long, Philip V would make such a big noise.

In fact, Philip V was also scaring Rome, and he said everything in the manifesto, but he did not say how many troops the Qin and the Huns sent in order to cooperate with Philip V. Although it was only 50,000 troops, after the Romans saw it, they didn't know how many. One hundred thousand is possible, and more so with the strength of the Qin Dynasty, it was also completely possible.

After receiving this news, the consul knew that it was time for him to make a decision. Philip V called out before he started sending troops. With his understanding of Philip V, if he was not sure, he would definitely not do this.

In such a situation, Egypt would definitely come to ask for help, but if he sent troops like the last time, he would definitely face the battle between the three armies of Macedonia, the Qin and the Huns. He had no idea what kind of situation he would face this time.
