The people of Baiyue completely surrendered their hearts.

After receiving the news from the Nanhai County Sheriff, Ying Yu showed a smile on his face.

Sure enough, since ancient times, what people want is simple.

They don't care who becomes emperor.

Whoever can make the people live a good life will be the one they are willing to follow.

Anyone who attempts to destroy their already stable life will become the enemy of all people.

Taking it from the people and using it for the people seems simple, but it is the foundation of whether an empire can truly be stable for a long time.

Because the people are actually not stupid, they know who is good to them and who is not good to them.

Now even the people of Baiyue truly regard themselves as Qin people, and the internal stability of Da Qin has been as stable as Mount Tai.

"It seems it's time to focus our energy on external development!"

At this moment, Xiao He suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing the weird smile on Xiao He's face, Ying Yu asked doubtfully:

"What are you so happy about?"

"Your Highness, the princess of the Seleucid Kingdom has arrived!"

"So fast?"

Ying Yu was slightly startled when he heard this. Xiao He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he could only continue:

"It is said that Seleucus IV had notified His Majesty of his departure long before his expedition to Fuso Island. Now he has arrived in Songhai City and handed over his credentials and dowry to His Majesty.

Moreover, His Majesty has arranged for female officials to teach the Seleucid princess court etiquette."

When Ying Yu heard this, he slapped his forehead.

At first Seleucus IV agreed to all the conditions he proposed, but he made one request.

That is, Ying Yu wants to marry the Seleucid Kingdom and marry the Seleucid Kingdom's princess.

Ying Yu said it didn't matter. By marrying a Seleucid princess, he could exchange for the leadership of the Seleucid military. This deal was absolutely cost-effective.

The civil and military officials of the DPRK and China also strongly agreed with this.

After all, it was only a matter of time before the Seleucid Kingdom integrated into the Qin Dynasty.

Having the relationship of marriage would make it easier for the Seleucid people to accept the rule of Qin.

As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Yu will become the emperor of the Qin Dynasty in the future. It will not matter how many people come to the harem.

What he opposed was only foreign marriage.

As for other countries paying tribute to Da Qin and his relatives, that is naturally not a problem.

Marrying a beautiful princess and getting a kingdom as a dowry was something that Ying Yu wouldn't mind if it happened several times.

Moreover, this princess of the Seleucid Kingdom is said to be a rare beauty.

As long as the princess of the Seleucid Kingdom can clarify her identity, Ying Yu doesn't mind having one more woman.

Thinking of this, Ying Yu suddenly had a strange idea:

"My prince, does this count as 'sacrifice' for the country?"

This seems to feel pretty good.

...

Seleucus, Great Qin Expeditionary Army.

"General, Rome has indeed fallen into the trap. Their main army has penetrated deep into Asia Minor. According to the itinerary, they will enter our ambush area tomorrow!"

Xia Houying took a piece of information and rushed into the Chinese army's tent with excitement on his face.

Today, he is an ordinary staff officer under Meng Tian's account, training with Meng Tian in the expeditionary army.

"Very good, pass on the order and let all the soldiers recharge their batteries for a decisive battle with the Romans tomorrow!"

Meng Tian thought for a moment, then said solemnly.

Seleucid IV next to him heard this, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.

At the beginning, there was great resistance within the Seleucid Kingdom to the transfer of military command to Qin.

Even the king Seleucus IV was questioned a lot.

Antiochus III actually had the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse and wanted to give it a try.

After all, the Great Qin Expeditionary Army was mainly composed of cavalry.

If the cavalry can deal with the infantry legion on the plains, even if it cannot defeat it, it can still outrun it, right?

Even if it loses, Da Qin will definitely continue to send reinforcements out of dignity.

At least it can help their Seleucid Kingdom stabilize its defense line.

After Meng Tian took over the command, he also made a series of arrangements.

Originally, Seleucus IV did not take it seriously, but now the movements of the Roman army were all within Meng Tian's expectations.

"The general is really clever!"

Seleucus IV showed admiration on his face and spoke respectfully.

"What a wonderful plan? Compared with His Highness the Crown Prince, this general's ability is nothing more than the light of a firefly!"

Meng Tian smiled and shook his head.

In the Central Plains Dynasty, famous generals from the Seven Kingdoms competed for supremacy. Various military techniques, strategies, and tactics have been used to the extreme.

Compared with an old man like Meng Tian, ​​these countries in the Western Regions couldn't be simpler.

In the previous battle between the Seleucid Kingdom and the Romans, it was completely an army versus an army versus a general, with no strategy at all.

Seleucid's Macedonian phalanx, in Meng Tian's opinion, still has merit.

But the general in charge was terrible.

The Roman army only added long-range projectile weapons such as spears and throwing axes, and easily cracked the Seleucid Macedonian phalanx.

Meng Tian, ​​Xia Houying and others were stunned when they saw this.

Anyone who has read a few Da Qin military books will not end up fighting like this!

Not to mention the elite cavalry brought by Meng Tian, ​​even the most common infantry phalanx in the Qin Dynasty, in Xia Houying's view, could crush the Roman army.

With the power of the Qin crossbow, dealing with this group of infantry who lack mobility is simply shooting at a living target.

"General, the Romans have gathered 200,000 elite men and are coming with great momentum. Should we temporarily avoid their attack?"

Seleucus IV reminded.

This time, the expeditionary force led by Meng Tian only had 50,000 people, of which only 10,000 were the elite of the Qin army.

The difference in the number of people on both sides is really too big.

As for the local army of the Seleucid Kingdom, he, the prince, has no shame to mention it.

Because they had been scared out of their wits by the Romans, they had no fighting power at all.

"When two armies are fighting, the number of troops cannot play a decisive role."

"In the past, the Japanese generals followed His Highness the Crown Prince and defeated the Xiongnu, Da Yuezhi and Donghu. The enemy cavalry numbered more than 100,000, while we, the Qin Dynasty, only had 10,000 or 20,000 elite troops.

As a result, today's Nuhe and Donghu no longer exist.

Da Yuezhi also became a vassal state of our Great Qin, and attacked foreign lands for our Great Qin."

Meng Tian glanced at the panic-stricken Seleucid generals, feeling speechless in his heart.

No wonder they were defeated by the Romans even though they had all kinds of favorable conditions. These Seleucid generals were completely useless.

But for Da Qin, this is good news.

The less effective the Seleucid generals were, the more dependent they would be on Great Qin.

It will be much smoother for Great Qin to annex the Seleucid Kingdom in the future.

As the Protector of the Western Regions Protectorate, Meng Tian's duty, in addition to fighting, is to help Great Qin better control these vassal states.

"That's what the general said!"

Seleucus IV quickly took the lead in responding, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.

This was not the first time he had heard of Ying Yu's achievements.

This is why he firmly believes that Qin can defeat Rome.

Seleucus IV has decided to wait until the Great Qin Expeditionary Army wins.

You must apply to Antiochus III to tribute another batch of treasures to Qin to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

It would be perfect if his sister and His Highness the Crown Prince could get married as soon as possible.

Today's Seleucus IV has unknowingly lost his desire to dominate.
