——————————
As soon as Hector withdrew the Macedonian army, the Seleucid coalition collapsed.
The reason is that no matter who these teams are, they cannot compete with the Qin army if they face it alone, especially after several previous battles, they understand this.
Therefore, the death of Akevus and Hector's wavering exposed all the selfish motives of all countries... If they leave too late, wouldn't they be left alone to fight against the Qin army from behind and serve as a shield for others?
So when Macedonia withdrew, Rome also withdrew, followed closely by Ptolemy.
However, Ptolemy was a latecomer... Ptolemy was an Egyptian army. Most of them were lightly armed. Whether on foot or on horseback, they were much faster than the heavy infantry of other countries.
The last ones to go were Seleucid's troops.
Firstly, this was because their position was farther away, and secondly, Akevus died in the battle and there was no one to command him. As a result, the troops were in a chaotic mess and were divided into small and small groups.
Of course, Shen Bing would not give up this opportunity, especially since the tens of thousands of troops he led were all cavalry. This was the time to pursue the enemy.
So as soon as the city gate was opened, the army went out in full force to chase and kill him.
For a while, the ground was filled with the corpses of Seleucid soldiers, as well as super long guns, shields and armor discarded by them.
Shen Bing ordered his troops to mainly pursue and kill the Roman army.
The reason is that Shen Bing knew that Rome would rise and become the ruler of Europe in the next few decades. For the strategic consideration of balancing power, of course, he must attack the strong and support the weak.
Shen Bing even sent envoys to contact the Ptolemaic and Macedonian armies, hoping to form an alliance with these two countries.
The reason why these two countries were chosen was that the Qin army had no direct conflict of interest with them, even in this war.
On the other hand, when Rome rises, Macedonia and Egypt will inevitably need to form an alliance with the Qin army... At that time, Seleucid was unable to protect himself from the turmoil in Parthia and other countries. Of course, he was unable to help him resist Rome. He could help The only one who conquered them was Qin.
Therefore, Shen Bing ordered that all Ptolemaic and Macedonian troops be allowed to pass.
This also brought another benefit, that is, both Rome and Seleucid thought they had been betrayed, and Ptolemy and Macedonia had actually already taken refuge in the Silk Kingdom.
Especially in Macedonia, Hector sent the cavalry out of the city, which directly led to the defeat and death of Akevus.
Although Hector did not actually defect to the Qin army, such a thing could not be settled with just a few words of explanation. This directly led to the four European countries being suspicious of each other and unable to form an alliance.
As for the Seleucids, Shen Bing thought that it would be enough to conquer the Parthian and Dawan. The Parthian might even be more dangerous than the Seleucids, because in history it was the growth of the Parthians that led to the demise of the Seleucids.
From this point of view, Shen Bing planned to support the forces of Jalali who was a gladiator in the two cities of Lanshi and Homusan.
Because slaves and gladiators are inherently incompatible with the princes and nobles, their growth may even shake the rule of Parthia and Dawan. This is a bit like the transformation from slavery to feudalism in the Central Plains... wherever there is oppression, there is There was resistance, and at the same time, there were countless slaves in Anxi and Dawan cities who were looking forward to being liberated.
In short, Shen Bing thought that the more chaotic this place would be, the better. It would be best for all countries to work together as one, and the Qin army would finally come to clean up the mess.
However, at this moment, a messenger from Lanshi City hurriedly reported:
"General, sir, please ask the general to go to the Lan family quickly. There are changes in the Central Plains!"
Shen Bing had an ominous premonition.
Has anything changed in China?
What changes can happen to the Central Plains?
However, the Fusu Society's invitation at this time to "changes in the Central Plains" was naturally not a trivial matter.
So Shen Bing didn't think much, took hundreds of personal guards and hurried towards Lan's City.
It was already evening when we arrived at Lan's City. Guilu, the captain of ten thousand defenders of the city, rushed to pick him up. After that, he leaned next to Shen Bing and whispered:
"General, an envoy from Xianyang has come, saying that he has brought an imperial edict to kill Mr. Fusu!"
Shen Bing couldn't help being shocked, and he quickly asked:
"Is the young master still alive?"
Gui Lu cupped her hands and said:
"General, don't worry. My subordinates have convinced the young master that even if he is about to die, we will wait until the general arrives."
Shen Bing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then without saying much, he spurred his horse a little harder and went straight to Fusu's residence.
On the way, Shen Bing thought to himself:
"Since Xianyang has sent people to falsely convey the imperial edict to death Fusu, it means that Ying Zheng is dead."
"But I don't know why it happened so many years early."
Then I thought about it again and secretly thought it was very dangerous.
If Princess Naziyang hadn't tricked Fusu into coming here, this imperial edict would have gone to the Western Region or Dragon City.
At that time, Shen Bing was thousands of miles away from Fusu, so where could he be saved?
Therefore, it is appropriate to support Su Ming and not to deny it.
What Shen Bing didn't know was that Shen Bing also started this incident.
Fusu followed Shen Bing over the years and learned a lot from Shen Bing, such as marching and fighting, industry and agriculture, and even the way of governing the country.
While Shen Bing was busy fighting, Ying Zheng secretly inspected Fusu and decided to make Fusu the crown prince.
When Zhao Gao heard this, he thought it was a good thing and hurriedly went to Li Si to discuss:
"If the emperor makes Fusu the crown prince, the situation will be over and we will have no chance to turn around."
"What should I do now?"
Li Si's face looked uncertain.
He actually considered retiring and returning to his hometown to spend the rest of his life in peace.
But Li Si knew that this was impossible. As the Prime Minister of Qin for so many years, he could be said to have made countless enemies. Once he lost power, someone would definitely take advantage of him and kill him.
Therefore, at this time, Li Si was riding a tiger, unable to get off, and could only keep himself at the pinnacle of power.
That being the case...
Li Si gritted his teeth and whispered to Zhao Gao:
"If you don't do one thing, you won't stop..."
Zhao Gao nodded repeatedly as he listened.
It is not that easy to kill Ying Zheng. There may be no less than a thousand people who want to kill Ying Zheng since he became a child, but Ying Zheng is still alive and well until now.
Although this was a bit of luck, it had something to do with Ying Zheng's caution.
For example, all kinds of food must be tasted by the eunuch before they can be assured, and even the food sent by Zhao Gao was no exception.
But Zhao Gao had his own way.
One day, when Ying Zheng was infected with cold and was in poor health, Zhao Gao hurriedly entered from outside the door holding a brocade box and said:
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
"The general found the elixir of immortality in Dawan and sent it to the emperor at night to invite the emperor to take it."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he sat up from the bed and couldn't wait to take the brocade box and opened it. He saw that there was only a soybean-sized pill inside.
"This is the elixir of life?" Ying Zheng was a little unconvinced.
Zhao Gao submitted another letter and said: "Your Majesty, please read this. This is written by the general himself!"
