Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

"Hey? What's the matter? Why aren't Seleucid soldiers guarding these cities?"

Wang Ben touched his head and returned to the tent, his face full of doubts.

Lao Zhao put down the teacup in his hand and asked softly, "Is this city unguarded?"

Wang Ben nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, just like those cities before, the situation in the city is chaotic, and it is obvious that there has been no army to maintain order for some time.

"And not only were the gates of the city wide open, but anything of value inside was removed.

Hearing Wang Ben's words, Su Yu next to him was also puzzled.

What's up with the Seleucid people?

Such a large area, if you say it is left, it will be left behind?

Although it is said that the Great Qin Western Expedition Army is more powerful than the Seleucid Army, it is somewhat disappointing.

17 But this is a little different from what the wise Antiochus III should have done.

Could there be some conspiracy here?

After thinking for a while, Su Yu said softly: "I suggest that the expedition against Seleucus should come to an end first.

"It's a coincidence, I think so too." Lao Zhao looked at Su Yu with a smile in his eyes.

Wang Ben on the side also nodded.

His thoughts were the same as those of the two.

Today's Daqin Western Expedition Army, after sending troops to garrison each captured city, can only continue to attack westward with only one hundred thousand troops.

Although it is said that these 100,000 troops on the westward expedition can also exert great combat effectiveness.

But in case of any special circumstances, it would definitely not be as confident as an army of more than 200,000 people.

Moreover, the situation of the Selegu Empire's return to the field had to be treated with caution.

Underestimating the enemy is the most taboo thing on the battlefield.

They must not make such a mistake.

And most importantly, the western part of the Seleucid Empire was close to a variety of intricate forces.

Even if they were defeated, it would be difficult for the Western Expedition Army to draw out its strength to attack the Maurya Dynasty, which was not much weaker than Seleucus.

People have not forgotten.

The purpose of this first westward expedition was to finally attack the Peacock Dynasty in two ways.

To pave the way for the second more distant west expedition.

"Wang Ben, order my Daqin Western Expedition Army to turn the offensive into the defensive, collect all useful materials, and withdraw to the east! Lao Zhao ordered.

"Here!"

Under Lao Zhao's order, the 100,000 Qin troops stopped their expedition and turned to head east.

Over there, the eastern region of the Seleucid Empire had now been occupied by the Great Qin.

Among them, because of the main traffic roads and other reasons, there are three cities that are mainly taken care of.

The future Western Expedition Army will rely on these three cities to open up the road connecting with the Mauryan Dynasty.

Let Da Qin have an important road that can quickly rush to the Western Regions.

"What's the matter? How did that army withdraw?"

Antiochus III was stunned.

He couldn't believe his ears after hearing the news from the messenger in front.

This was beating, and the troops suddenly retreated without warning. What about the alliance army they formed?

He spent a lot of effort and a lot of money, and he didn't even want to look for the surrounding dependent countries, even the originally hostile Ptolemaic Kingdom, and only then came up with a huge front.

Now people say that dragging troops will withdraw?

What is the purpose of this army?

Wasn't it to capture their Seleucid Empire?

A series of question marks appeared in Antiochus III's mind.

In the twelve years since he ascended the throne, he has never encountered such a formidable and elusive opponent.

Just when he was wondering, a waiter came to him and whispered a few words in a whisper.

877 "Huh? Finally back? Let him in!" Antiochus III said slightly excitedly.

After a while, a dusty Greek appeared in front of Antiochus III.

"Istel, see His Majesty the King." The man knelt down on one knee and touched his chest with his hand.

Then, he took out a parchment from his chest pocket.

"I have done what Your Majesty has assigned me. This parchment has written everything about the army's origins and all the information I can investigate."

Hearing this, Antiochus III stood up excitedly.

"Okay! Easter, go down and collect your reward.""

The voice fell, and the waiter had already handed the parchment to his hand.

Antiochus III carefully unfolded the scroll.

He wanted to see where this mighty legion of unknown origin came from!
