Chapter 349: Scheme to lure the enemy

Civil strife of the Qin army—.

To make Antioch III believe that all this is true, there must be a suitable candidate.

After thinking about it, this rebellious general was Ying Bu.

Among them, it is not only because of Ying Bu's qualifications, but more importantly, only he can make the enemy believe and not suspicious. Others, such as Li Lie, Chen Shen, etc., have followed Fu Ge for many years, and they have no reason to rebel.

The grand strategy of seliusi troops has been decided, and what needs to be assigned is the tasks undertaken by each army. In addition to Ying Bu and Chen Ping, the puppets who commanded the troops such as Li Lie, Li Guang, Xiao He, Chen Shen and even the Ceylon colonial army also had their own clear goals.

"Okay, the details of this operation and the arrangement of enemy troops. Chen Ping, let me tell you again. Remember, you must be detailed and not miss any link, especially the situation of Hannibal. You must be as detailed as possible."

"Everyone, I believe many of you here have heard of the name Hannibal-!"

The information collected by Chen Ping can be said to be quite detailed. Just like Fu Ge's feelings about the Western war history in later generations, the young Qin generals listened with relish, and even generals like Li Lie who had experienced many great battles looked solemn in front of Hannibal's glory.

After all, Hannibal's experience itself is a heroic epic. For the Qin generals who have experienced the baptism of war, what else can attract them more than such a story!

By the time Chen Ping finished his narration, the eyes of the Qin generals had changed, and they became full of desire for battle, making people feel both intimate and familiar.

Once upon a time, the Qin generals who swept across the country no longer thought about their opponents in front of them. In their opinion, victory was a breeze.

Those who underestimate the enemy will be defeated-.

A proud and complacent army will one day lead to a failure. Even if the opponent is not at the same level as you, they do not know that in later generations, Western colonists have hot weapons, but they have repeatedly suffered big fights in front of backward nations.

Fu Ge doesn't want this to happen, especially if he doesn't want it to happen to Qin Jun.

At this time, Hannibal's experience as a lone hero was like a sober medicine, allowing the guy who was overly tall and could see that there were powerful characters outside the Qin State, and now this person is in the enemy camp.

"Hey, our Qin army will never lose to that Hannibal, please be optimistic."

"That's more, our Expeditionary Army soldiers are all heroes who can defeat ten, so let Antioch III come."

On the first day of the October 1st year of the Tianqi period of the Qin Dynasty.

Seleucid Central Army.

An explosive shock news came to Antioch III, who was leading his army to stay in the city of Ashul. Upon hearing this news, Antioch III's plump and round body suddenly swelled.

"What did you say? The Qin army is infighting, and the Qin emperor is seriously injured and his life and death are uncertain. How is this possible?"

Antioch III waved his big hand excitedly and lifted the intelligence official who reported the news into the air.

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, this news is a true and is a secret return from his subordinates sent to Babylon City. This civil strife in the Qin army was initiated by General Ying Bu. It is said that there are a large number of young and strong officers participating. These people are quite dissatisfied with their current status, so they intend to launch a mutiny-!"

It has to be admitted that the level of the Seleucid intelligence officials is really not very good. If Chen Ping did this, the reasons that can be expressed can be at least ten. For example, one: Fu Ge and Ying Bu have turned against each other in public several times, two: Ying Bu's Jiujiang King Jue Ren was stolen; for example, three: two people have their own grudges for a beautiful woman.

"The mutiny is great, but have you carefully confirmed whether that guy named Fu Ge died?" After suffering a loss, Antioch III was indeed much more steady, no longer as before, and he hurriedly cheered when he heard good news.

"Yes, don't worry, the emperor! How dare I report the military information in the subordinates? Before reporting, I have confirmed that the cavalry of Qin had retreated from the halfway to reinforce Ashur, and looked very anxious, as if to fight for something. The city of Babylon is now in panic. The army reportedly loyal to the Qin emperor and the army supporting Ying Bu's rebellion have been formed into a group-!"

If you want to create a false image, no one is more skillful than the two old foxes Ying Bu and Chen Ping. After a series of careful planning, the scam started, and the first audience was the interlude of the Seleucids lurking in the city of Babylon.

For a secret agent, there are actually very few opportunities to get rewards from the superiors. This time, he finally had the opportunity to show off, so he naturally added fuel to the fire and said it carefully.

They made sure it was okay to slap their chests. The intelligence officials who were listening to the news from behind also came in a hurry, so they reported it layer by layer. Things that had not seen with their own eyes immediately became a foregone conclusion.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Fu Thief would follow in Alexander's footsteps. He is really a God-protected!" Antioch III laughed out loud, and the sip of turbid air that had been defeated by the Qin army one after another finally came out.

Hearing the encouragement, the intelligence officer breathed a sigh of relief and left Antioch III's luxurious camp with a smug smile. After he left, the ecstatic Antioch III immediately asked his personal soldiers to invite Hannibal over.

"Emperor, this must be the conspiracy of the Qin people. The war is imminent, but the Qin people play this trick of exploring bad things. This is probably because they have no choice but to have no choice in the siege of Ashuer City, so they came up with such a ridiculous idea."

After listening to the emotional narrative of Antioch III, Hannibal's resolute face was filled with a hint of ridicule. After fighting with the Romans for so many years, he had never seen any plan. Who did he deceive such a mere trick?

"You said it was the Qin people's trick, but our people saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears. Is it all fake? How is this possible?"

Hearing that Hannibal had denied the good news of the Qin army's internal strife, Antioch III couldn't help but feel a little unhappy and retorted itchyly.

"Emperor, some things may not be true even if they have heard of them with their own eyes. This time we took advantage of the flood to siege Ashur City and caught the Qin army off guard. If they were to ask for help, the Emperor could just order General Gusrishah to lead a side division to attack the weak rear of the Qin army. If they did not save them, then we would simply attack and take down Ashur and wipe out the defenders in the city in one fell swoop. In this way, even if they could not defeat the previous defeat, it would be enough to shave the Qin army."

Compared with the excitement of Antioch III, Hannibal's analysis was calm. Unlike the Seleucids, as an outsider, his position can be said to be completely neutral, so the truth he could see was even more unique.

"But the Qin army is now in chaos. If we miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy for us to regain the vast territory we lost."

Although Hannibal's words were very organized, Antioch III was still in conflict with the huge temptation of taking advantage of the Qin army's internal strife.

"Since the Qin people have seen through our Mingwei Ashur and are really thinking about the strategy of the lower reaches of the two rivers, we may move the Qin army step by step toward the city. The eastern capital Persepolis has fallen into the hands of the Qin people, and it is unrealistic to retake it in a short time. Your Majesty the Emperor, if you are patient, maybe in the next five years, you may be able to drive the Qin people back east of the Pamir Mountains."

Seeing Antioch III's face of reluctance and perhaps not wanting to let his old friend take in, Hannibal encouraged, but his words were better than not.

Compared with the arrogant and arrogant Antioch III, Hannibal had undoubtedly a much deeper understanding of Qin. Even though the Carthaginians were not good at sailing from ocean, they were also an excellent group of merchants. Through the introduction of merchants who had been to the East, Hannibal had a strong interest in Qin, the mysterious and powerful Eastern country.

The silk that the Romans, Carthaginians, Gauls and other Westerners coveted was also produced in the Qin State.

Of course, not just silk, there are many objects in this country that open the eyes of the Westerners, and an invincible army. It is said that it was this Qin army that defeated the Xiongnu tribes in the north and fled in a panic.

For these reasons, Hannibal set the time for regaining lost land for five years, which was the boldest guess he made to comfort Toutiao III.

However, Hannibal's confession did not arouse any passion of Antioch III. In five years, he only drove the Qin people out of the lost territory. This goal is too low!

Five years later, Antioch III did not know whether he was still on the throne. Now, his territory has been reduced to the only Syrian Plateau and Asia Minor, and there is no room for maneuver at this little place. If the wealthy Mesopotamian Plain and Eastern Capital cannot be recaptured in a short time, what will Antioch III fight against the Romans who are eyeing the West?

While Antioch III and Hannibal were hesitating that they should continue to siege the city or launch a rapid attack on the city of Babylon, a soldier who reported the news ran over in a panic expression.

"Jiuda, the Great Emperor, Prince Gusrishah took ten thousand soldiers out of the barracks and headed towards the city of Babylon!"

"What?"
