Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The Huns who had just emerged from the vast desert were actually very embarrassed. They had few troops and lacked horses and rations. Many people even had nothing but a wooden bow in their hands.

In addition, the Huns also replaced a new Chanyu, whose name is Uwe Chanyu.

Under the leadership of Uwe Chanyu, the Huns swept across most of the Western Regions in just one year and conquered many countries in the Western Regions.

Faced with such a situation, Diodotus finally couldn't sit still.

So after some preparations, Diodotus led an army of [-] to the east, and had a great battle with the [-] cavalry of the Huns.

The result of the war was obviously completely beyond Diodotus' expectations. Although his army barely repelled the Huns' attack in this battle, they suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, no matter what, Diodotus still kept a small piece of land in the westernmost part of the Western Regions near Bactria.

From the captured Hun soldiers, Diodotus learned that the Huns came from the northeast, were defeated by a very powerful country called "Zhao", and then had to retreat westward and appeared in the Western Regions.

So a counselor gave Diodotus an idea. In this case, why not send an envoy to the east to contact the powerful Zhao Empire?If Zhao Guo knew that the mortal enemy Huns were here, he might be willing to send troops to attack the Western Regions and attack the Huns together with Diodotus.

Therefore, the so-called Seleucid Kingdom mission was actually sent by Diodotus, the governor of Bactria in the eastern part of the Seleucid Kingdom.

That's why Perseus is here.

Perseus was not lucky. He was about to cross the Western Regions and enter Zhao's territory, but he was captured on the border of Zhao.

Fortunately, although the one who captured Perseus was also a Hun, it was a Hun catcher group.

Unlike the Huns who attacked the Western Regions, these groups of slave arresters had in fact abandoned their identity as Huns and called themselves Huns.

After such twists and turns, Perseus was finally discovered and sent to Handan.

The elderly Perseus took a deep breath, and solemnly told the people around him: "My dear friends, after seeing and hearing this journey, I believe you all know that those rumors are not wrong. This is indeed a property. It is rich, with a vast territory, and a powerful empire that is not under our Seleucus. I hope you all maintain enough humility and don't arouse the anger of the emperor of this empire, understand?"

With the sound of Perseus' instructions, their carriage stopped slowly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Perseus thought he knew the Western Regions very well. After all, Perseus himself was one of the counselors who urged Diodotus to find a way to win the Western Regions.

Although the Zhao people are powerful, the barrenness of the Western Regions is actually not enough to support a huge army stationed for a long time, so even if the Zhao people can send an army of [-] to [-], it seems to Perseus that it is very much In order to enter the Western Regions to attack the Xiongnu, it is impossible for the Zhao people to occupy the Western Regions for a long time after victory.

As long as the Zhao people retreat, there will naturally be a very large power vacuum in the Western Regions that have been cleaned by the Huns and Zhao people successively, and Perseus' master Theodotus Governor can take advantage of this gap to complete Occupation and rule of the Western Regions.

As long as he can occupy the Western Regions, then relying on the resources and population of the Western Regions, Diodotus will be able to have enough strength to become independent from the Seleucid Empire and create the "Kingdom of Bactria" he dreamed of.

In this way, Perseus, who moved the rescuers from Zhao Guo, is naturally the first contributor.

This is the reason why Perseus, despite his age, still wants to venture east through the area controlled by the Huns. As long as he succeeds, he will naturally be the prime minister of the Kingdom of Bactria in the future. up.

Perseus was brought back to Handan City by a group of men in black who claimed to be palace guards.

In Perseus' view, since this Zhao Empire is as powerful as his own Seleucus, it must be a very well-mannered country.

So I should live in a large and wide embassy, ​​and then there will be beautiful foreign girls to serve him. Although Perseus is 56 years old this year, he is still very confident about his capital .

After a happy Spring Festival together, the King of the Zhao Empire will receive him very cordially, and then he and King Zhao will have a good talk. A large army marched west to help his master, governor Theodotus, destroy the Huns.

But Perseus soon discovered that although he had written the script, the direction of the whole thing did not follow the script.

Led by the people in black, Perseus and his party soon came to a courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Perseus frowned involuntarily.

As an old fritter who has been immersed in the power field for many years, Perseus can keenly detect that this place seems to be a very special place, with a sense of solemnity and killing.

Perseus' expression changed, and he hurriedly asked the person next to him, "Ales, are we being sent to prison?"

Ales is the only person in this mission who has learned the elegant language.

Ales was obviously also a little puzzled, and said a few words to the man in black from Zhao Guo in elegant language.

At this moment, a person dressed in Zhao's official costume came up and said a few words to Perseus.

Ales translated: "Honorable Perseus, this is Mao Sui, Zhao Guo's chief foreign affairs officer. He will be responsible for receiving our basic necessities for these days."

It was Mao Sui who came.

Perseus breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands towards Mao Sui, and said with a smile, "Honorable Chief Mao Sui, Perseus greets you."

Mao Sui also smiled and bowed to Perseus, and then said, "This Pei, Perseus, do you have any identification documents?"

Perseus hastily took out the parchment he had shown Lu Qing that day from his pocket, and said with a smile, "This is a personal letter written by our honorable Antiochus II to the respected King Zhao."

This autograph letter is of course a forgery. Anyway, in Perseus' view, it is impossible for the Zhao people to go to Antioch City, thousands of miles away, to seek proof from Antioch II.

In fact, Perseus felt that Zhao Guoren could not even understand the words above.

Mao Sui laughed, took the parchment, and stuffed it into his sleeve without even looking at it. The degree of casualness surprised Perseus.

Mao Sui said again: "It's Perseus like this, I actually got the information that some of you are spies from the Huns!"

"Spies?" Perseus suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and even couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Mao Sui, there must be some misunderstanding here. We Bactrians are the enemies of the Huns. Why? Could there be spies from the Huns?"

Mao Sui showed a big smile at Perseus, and then said: "Mr. Perseus, I believe that you, as an envoy, will not commit any act of betraying the motherland, but the people here, I'm afraid that's not the case. Come on, come on!"

Under Perseus' horrified gaze, the men in black who had escorted their group just now took away all of Perseus's subordinates.

It's not that there are no people who want to resist, but these men in black are obviously Lianjiazi, who made the warriors under Perseus lose their fighting power in a few strokes, and then took them all away.

Perseus was left with only the translator Ales.

In the first chapter of Perseus, his old face was flushed, and he said angrily to Mao Sui in front of him: "Master Mao Sui, our Seleucus is a powerful empire like your Zhao country, you can't treat me like this Such an emissary."

Mao Sui raised his hand with a smile, and stopped Perseus's words: "Your guest is welcome, Mr. Perseus, well, your building is ready, please."

Perseus knew that he had no room to resist at this moment, so he could only sigh, and said to Mao Sui: "Mr. Mao Sui, I just hope you don't hurt their lives. They are rare warriors. Accompanying me all the way to come here loyally, should not end up in a humiliating death.”

Mao Sui smiled brightly.

Three days later, Mao Sui came to Zhao Dan with a thick file.

"Your Majesty, this is the record of the interrogation of the Seleucids. Everything is here."

Zhao Dan nodded, took the file and flipped through it.

Mao Sui wasn't bragging, and Hu Yiwei's interrogation methods were not fabricated, and there was everything Zhao Dan wanted to know.For example, the true identity of Perseus, the details of the battle between the governor of Bactria and the Huns, the general situation of the Western Regions, and so on.

Zhao Dan looked at it with a smile on his face.

"This emissary, it's quite interesting to go. He called Li Mu Dadu and told him that his good luck has come."
