Chapter 270 The first meeting between the First Emperor and King Asoka
At first, he wanted to put this thing on the bed crossbow, so that it would be extremely powerful.
But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up the idea. It would be difficult for an ordinary thing like a bed crossbow to bring out its full potential.
"It's really a headache." Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to rub the aching forehead, stepped outside the imperial study room, took a breath of fresh air, and felt extremely troubled.
This thing is too important to Da Qin to tolerate negligence.
Brother Zheng's eyes fell on the city wall inadvertently.
Something moved in my heart.
If the Great Wall had a weapon spirit and evolved into a holy weapon...
As soon as this idea appeared, even Brother Yizheng became a little excited.
The Great Wall was originally built for defense, and its defensive power after evolution must be unprecedented.
After having an idea in his mind, Ying Zheng moved slightly and came to the Great Wall in the distance.
It is worth mentioning that.
As early as before Ying Tian left Da Qin, he had issued an order to merge several Great Walls in Da Qin into one and connect them all together.
Later, when the Blue Star expanded, Qin Shihuang did not forget it and ordered people to repair the Great Wall several times.
This also makes the Great Wall of Qin already a behemoth, stretching for countless miles.
But another essential reason why Qin Shihuang made this choice is that the system had previously rewarded a warship.
He had tested it and found that the battleship's attack power was extremely terrifying, but its defense power was somewhat poor.
If the Great Wall can evolve into a holy weapon with unparalleled defense, coupled with the Great Qin warship, it will surely be invincible.
Brother Zheng took a deep breath and was about to take action, but at this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps behind him.
Zhang Han ran over in a hurry, his face full of solemnity, and said:
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Someone found a group of soldiers on the border between Tochara and our country, Qin. Judging from the clothes on their bodies, those people should be from the Mauryan Dynasty."
"Is this certain?"
Ying Zheng turned his head suddenly, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Although the information network between Da Qin and the Maurya Dynasty was destroyed, Da Qin had already completely controlled the East.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is an extra foreigner in the East, they will be noticed immediately.
After years of development in the East, a new information network has already been formed. He couldn't understand why the Maurya Dynasty could quietly reach into Tocharian territory.
"That's for sure."
Zhang Han said firmly.
"Okay, let me take a look for myself." Ying Zheng glanced at the Zhenguo Artifact Spirit in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said.
The system did not say how long it would take to use this item, so he was cautious and did not rush to use it.
If there is a threat, it is convenient to take it and leave directly.
Ying Zheng tapped his toes, jumped up, and landed on a chariot.
With the rumble of the chariot, everyone left the place.
Shortly after Brother Zheng left, a group of soldiers quickly appeared behind him and followed closely.
This news spread like wildfire as if it had wings and quickly spread throughout the Qin Dynasty. As the news spread, countless old Qin people were shocked.
Ying Zheng and others were very fast. In less than two days, they reached the Great Wall outside the Qiang territory.
Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, you can see that there are black shadows everywhere in the mountains and plains.
Qin Bing has become one with the Mauryan Dynasty.
Ashoka and others were very fast. They arrived in Daqin three days ago, divided into dozens of teams, and launched an attack.
"Ying Zheng!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and looked forward.
On the chariot at the front of the Maurya Dynasty, a middle-aged man stood there with his hands behind his back, his face full of arrogance and arrogance.
With just one glance, Ying Zheng recognized that this person was Ashoka.
The two didn't speak anymore, just stared at each other.
This is the first time the two have met.
King Ashoka stood there, his eyes like torches, staring at Qin Shihuang standing on the city wall in the distance.
He tried to keep himself calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart.
After the time traveler arrived, he brought with him the history of future generations. He already knew the growth history of the person in front of him.
From being a proton at birth, to returning to the Qin Dynasty to take the throne, to finally unifying the six kingdoms, any one of them can be said to be the proud son of heaven, which makes him feel a little unsure.
There was a vacuum between the eyes of the two people, and they turned a deaf ear to the cries of killing around them.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Ying Zheng looked away, his expression full of indifference, and he ignored Ashoka.
Suddenly, a look of anger appeared on Ashoka's face.
"Ying Zheng, I am going to kill you today. God can't save you even if he comes. That's what I said! What a bullshit old Qin man and bullshit emperor. All of you have to die for me."
Ashoka stared at Ying Zheng and roared hysterically.
This feeling of being despised made him feel very uncomfortable.
As a king of a country, never have I ever suffered such an insult.
"war."
Ying Zheng's calm gaze fell on the battlefield in the distance, his lips opened slightly, and he uttered a word.
The city gate opened wide, and countless old Qin people poured out.
With the addition of these effective forces, the situation on the battlefield instantly reversed, and the soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty were beaten back.
Since Wang Jian and others did not have a national war monument, their strength gradually declined as compared to the soldiers of the Maurya Dynasty. However, the Qin Dynasty was different. These soldiers brought by Qin Shihuang had been practicing in the monument for a year, and their strength naturally increased. .
Not only was he no weaker than the Maurya soldiers, he even managed to overwhelm them.
"Your Majesty, the situation this time is not optimistic. According to the news from the spies, the Mauryan Dynasty has at least five million people coming this time, or even more. One hundred thousand of them form a team, forming dozens of squads. , launched a thunderous operation against our Great Qin."
Wang Ben ran from a distance with a serious look on his face and said with worry on his face.
It's not that Da Qin is weak, but that this happened too suddenly.
No one thought that the Mauryan Dynasty would suddenly appear, and even cross the Himalayas directly to appear in the Tocharian Kingdom.
This also resulted in Da Qin being caught off guard.
In addition, Da Qin has been fighting sea monsters over the years, and more than half of its troops are on the Langya County side. Naturally, it has neglected its defense.
<divclass="contentadv">The reason why they were able to withstand the attack of the Maurya Dynasty and others was entirely because the county guards in various places responded quickly enough, and the old Qin people spontaneously organized militiamen.
"Your Majesty, in recent days, the young master has reserved some ore, which is enough to activate the Daqin ship. Do you want to give these guys a hard time?"
Zhang Han came from the side, clenched his fists, and spoke viciously.
Although I don’t know how King Ashoka and others crossed hundreds of thousands of miles to appear in Daqin from the Mauryan Dynasty, but with the current strength of Daqin, they are not afraid of a battle at all.
At most, it will just increase some losses.
"It's not as simple as you think,
First, activating the Great Qin Ship consumes a huge amount of resources. With the Shaofu's current reserves, it only takes a few minutes to survive. How can it be possible to kill all the scattered forces of the Maurya Dynasty in a few minutes?
Secondly, the reason why Hydra dare not launch an attack on our Great Qin is mainly because it is afraid of the Great Qin ship. Once it is used now, how will it deal with the tenth-level monsters?
It is not the time to use such a powerful weapon with deterrent effect. No matter how bad it is, you have to wait until you are absolutely sure to kill Ashoka before using it.
Don't forget that Ashoka has the opportunity to teleport directly back to the Mauryan Dynasty once a month. "
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Ashoka in the distance who was protected by three layers of soldiers inside and outside. He shook his head gently and spoke calmly.
Before obtaining the National War Reward System, Hydra's attacks on the Qin Dynasty were quite fierce. It personally launched attacks several times and once killed millions of people in the Qin Dynasty with one blow.
But since Da Qin obtained the Da Qin ship, that monster disappeared.
It is not difficult to deduce that she is afraid of Da Qin's new reward.
Once the resources reserved by the Shaofu are consumed, this kind of monster will definitely appear.
As for the national weapon spirit, it has not been used yet. I don’t know its specific power and cannot take it into consideration.
"With the military strength of Longxi County and Shu County, can they withstand the attack of King Ashoka and others?"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and asked.
His eyes flashed as he thought about what to do about this matter.
The power distribution map of Da Qin gradually emerged in his mind.
"It's hard to say. The battle has just begun. We are still investigating the top combat power of the Maurya Dynasty. However, it is preliminary inferred that it should not be a problem to withstand for a year and a half, but the casualties are hard to say. After all, the number of people in each county Common people don’t have much combat experience.”
Zhang Han took out a few secret letters from his pocket, read them back and forth several times, and then hesitantly spoke.
Since Buddha was killed, the Maurya Dynasty has completely disappeared, and no one knows its specific strength.
"Pass on my order to let the soldiers retreat first and shrink the front line as much as possible. For us now, the most taboo thing is to lengthen the front line."
Ying Zheng glanced back and forth to observe the battlefield. After pondering for a moment, he whispered an order.
Theoretically speaking, Great Qin should not worry about these problems when fighting on its own territory, but now Great Qin is fighting on two sides. In addition, Wang Jian and Li Xin also lead more than two million troops. This also leads to the fact that Great Qin's strength is not at the level of Peak state.
It is not suitable to fight with the Maurya Dynasty now.
"Today, our real threat is the water monster that exceeds the tenth level. We must first find a way to kill him, and then turn around and deal with Ashoka."
Ying Zheng looked away from the front and turned his head towards the sea in the distance.
The hydra had already given birth to Lingzhi and did not give the Qin people a chance to attack him.
He didn't have any good methods to deal with this kind of secret enemy.
"Your Majesty said so."
Zhang Han said respectfully.
They were sitting in different positions than Qin Shihuang, and naturally they were looking at different things.
I just thought about killing Ashoka as soon as possible, and didn't think too much.
"Your Majesty, although the Maurya Dynasty has a large population, the number of elite soldiers is only eight to nine million at most. More than half of them are here at the moment, which means they have directly abandoned their base camp! This is something I can't understand."
Zhang Han nodded slightly, took a piece of paper and pen, passed down the order from the First Emperor, and then asked with some hesitation.
If you think about it from another person’s perspective, if Da Qin now had the opportunity to appear in the Maurya Dynasty in an instant, they would definitely not be able to show up in full force.
Once the entire army is mobilized, the remaining soldiers will definitely be plotted by the other side.
Judging from the news received half a year ago, although Wang Jian and others were defeated, once King Ashoka leaves with an army of more than 7 million, they will definitely be able to breathe and fight back.
"Your Majesty, this is something I can't understand. I took a look and found that almost all the generals who can be named in the Maurya Dynasty are here."
Wang Ben scratched his head and said next to him.
It is absolutely impossible for Ashoka and others to kill Wang Jian and others in such a short period of time. Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and Li Xin must still be alive. In this case, Ashoka still dares to move in full force...
"If I remember correctly, the spies sent out a few days ago were basically wiped out, right?"
Ying Zheng spoke meaningfully.
"Yes."
Zhang Han answered truthfully.
"With the help of the Mauryan Dynasty people, it is impossible to pull out all our spies. Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, the monsters take action. I guess that the Mauryan Dynasty should have the support of those monsters.
However, theoretically speaking,
Whether it is the Maurya Dynasty or our Great Qin, their interests are in conflict with the monsters, and there is no sense in joining forces at all.
I guess the monster is taking advantage of Ashoka, but I don’t know the reason. "
Ying Zheng whispered thoughtfully.
It's a pity that Ashoka is not here, otherwise he would be scared to death if he heard these words.
It is unimaginable that Ying Zheng could almost completely deduce the truth just from the spy being killed.
"Now, the best way is to stop with silence, preserve as much strength as possible, pass on my orders, find ways to send people to assassinate King Asoka as much as possible, and then reduce the head-on conflict with the opponent and focus on defense."
Ying Zheng commanded calmly.
When many people face unknown things, they will panic if they cannot make a choice. In fact, there is no need at all. The best way is to stop with silence.
In this case, the other party should be the one panicking.
In addition, you can also buy yourself enough buffer time.
"As ordered."
After Zhang Han and Wang Ben responded, they quickly turned away and went to mobilize their troops.
Da Qin's reaction speed was not unsatisfactory. In just half a day, nearly two million militiamen were mobilized from each county and began to defend themselves with the Great Wall of Longxi County as the defense line.
Seeing this scene, Ashoka was stunned for a moment.
I thought that what awaited me would be a hard battle, but who would have thought that Da Qin would actually retreat.
"Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy here. Qin Shihuang must be harboring some bad ideas. No one named Ying is a good person."
Ashoka squinted his eyes slightly, his brain spinning rapidly, wondering whether it was a trap.
This meeting with the First Emperor was completely different from what he had imagined.
In his original guess, the First Emperor would be furious, unleash all his anger on him, and then lead an army to fight him.
In fact, Qin Shihuang not only did not send troops, but instead withdrew all the soldiers outside.
