Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

After leaving the military camp of the Great Han Kingdom, Ptolemy's envoy returned to Antioch as quickly as possible, and told the great prince of Ptolemy everything.

"What, the emperor of the Han Dynasty actually put forward such harsh conditions?"

After the eldest prince heard the news, he was so angry that he threw the Seleucid beauty in his arms out on the spot and even kicked her.

Beside the eldest prince, the faces of many Ptolemy generals who were enjoying themselves were quite ugly.

It is of course no problem to give up Antioch City. Anyway, after so many days of looting, Antioch City has basically been looted.

However, keeping all the loot is hugely problematic.

To put it bluntly, the brothers finally fought a battle, occupied the city, and took a lot of painstaking efforts to search around for a lot of things. At this time, if anyone says that they can't take these spoils away, they will be torn alive by the soldiers. ?

So this time, almost all the Ptolemy generals adopted the same attitude.

"Your Highness, the city can be handed over to them, but the spoils of war must not be handed over!"

"That's right, if you really hand over all the spoils, then the people below will definitely rebel."

"Perhaps we can consider handing over part of the spoils, but it is absolutely unfeasible to take all the spoils, Your Highness."

After the eldest prince listened to the words of these generals, his whole body was thoughtful, and his heart suddenly moved.

As far as the eldest prince is concerned, he has already thought about a wave of war with the army of the Han Dynasty.

In the eyes of the eldest prince, the army of the Han Kingdom is an expedition after all, and it has fought a battle with the army of the Seleucid Empire. It is already a tired army. Although there are fewer Dolamis , But waiting for work at leisure may not necessarily prevent you from winning.

As for the legendary musket and the like, the eldest prince felt that it might indeed have a certain power, but it couldn't be as mysterious as the legend said.

In other words, the eldest prince felt that the Han army might have a certain advantage in terms of numbers and weapons, but this advantage was not insurmountable to the Ptolemy army. Chance to win this time.

After thinking of this, the eldest prince finally spoke.

"Tell me, all of you. Otherwise, we might as well sneakily ambush the people of the Great Han Kingdom before they come to their senses. What do you think?"

After the voice of the eldest prince fell, all the Ptolemy generals present were taken aback.

"Your Highness, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Your Highness, let's forget about fighting, and His Majesty will not agree."

Don't look at the tone of one or two of these generals when it comes to spoils, but in fact, when it comes to the real war with Han, these generals immediately become resolute opponents.

The reason is actually very simple. In the eyes of these generals, taking away some spoils is actually just a deserved behavior, but if a war starts, it will really be desperate.

After the eldest prince encountered such unanimous opposition, his expression suddenly became quite ugly. The young man couldn't get rid of his face, and said very angrily: "The emperor of the Han Kingdom has said that if you don't hand over all spoils of war, then war will begin.

You are unwilling to hand over the spoils of war, and you are unwilling to start a war. Do you think the emperor of the Han Kingdom will agree with your behavior? "

Still the same gray-haired General Ptolemy stood up and said, "Your Highness doesn't know something. In our opinion, what His Majesty said about calling out all the spoils is probably just to give some explanation to his subordinates." , as long as we can evacuate here quickly enough, then the soldiers and horses of the Han Kingdom should not continue to chase us.

Of course, if we want to give some face to His Majesty the Great Han, we can indeed leave some of the spoils. In this way, both sides will be able to live up to the face, and the next thing should have nothing to do with our Ptolemaic Dynasty related. "

The old general's words immediately received unanimous approval from the other Ptolemy generals present.

After the eldest prince saw this situation, he couldn't help but sighed.

He also knew very well in his heart that after the generals had reached a consensus, if the chief general, the prince, continued to be stubborn, then he would face the fate of being abandoned by the generals.

In the Ptolemaic dynasty, there has never been any prince who was able to inherit the next throne after being abandoned by the generals.

Thinking of this, the Eldest Prince had no choice but to hold back the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Since you have all said so, then do whatever you want.

Pass on my order, and from today onwards, all troops will evacuate Antioch City as quickly as possible, and take away all the loot that can be taken away, and those who cannot be taken away will be placed in the city for guarding Get up, and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom when the time comes. "

The main reason why the eldest prince led the army to stay in Antioch City for so long was to collect the spoils.

Over the past few days, they have successively transported a batch of trophies back, and now it is time to return with other trophies.

It was said that it was that night, but in order to rush to transport a batch of spoils as much as possible, the generals dragged the time until the next day.

On the morning of the second day, countless horse-drawn carriages left the city of Antioch, and began to slowly return to the Ptolemaic dynasty's homeland of Egypt under the guard of the army gate.

As the chief general, the eldest prince naturally left in the first batch.

Sitting on his chariot, the eldest prince glanced back, and sighed in his heart at the still majestic and majestic city of Antioch.

"After leaving this time, I don't know how long it will take to return to this place next time.

But one day I will definitely conquer this place and let everyone know that our Ptolemy Egyptian dynasty is the most powerful country in the world. "

The eldest prince had just made up his mind when suddenly there was a cry of panic.

"There are enemies, everyone, look, there are enemy troops coming from the east."

The eldest prince was taken aback, and subconsciously cast his gaze to the east, and sure enough, he saw countless billows of dust and smoke splashing on the eastern horizon.

Amidst the dust and smoke, a large number of cavalry figures loomed, and anyone with experience in war could tell that this was a huge cavalry approaching.

The eldest prince's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "This is the army of the Han Dynasty, how did they come so fast?"

According to the previous intelligence, the army of the Great Han Kingdom should not be able to arrive at Antioch until at least tomorrow evening, and by that time Ptolemy's army had already left.

But now, the army of the Great Han Kingdom arrived so much earlier, everything will be different.

The eldest prince gave the order decisively.

"All the troops immediately assembled and formed a combat formation to guard against a sudden attack by the Han army."

Things have come to this point, it is impossible to go. After all, the Ptolemaic army has a huge number of carriages. These carriages are full of all kinds of spoils. The speed is very slow, and it is impossible to get rid of them. The cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

The atmosphere became tense, and many Ptolemaic troops began to organize and defend.

But it can be clearly seen that the soldiers who came to the Ptolemaic army all had confused expressions on their faces, and they didn't look very tall.

This is mainly because they already feel that they have returned home victorious, and the carriages are full of trophies.

When a person is on his way home triumphantly, and his spoils are beside him, he thinks more about going home to share the spoils, rather than risking his life to fight another battle.

But no matter whether Ptolemy's soldiers are willing or not, the next confrontation is inevitable.

About half an hour later, a large number of Han cavalry arrived, directly blocking the way of the Ptolemaic army.

Under the watchful eyes of the eldest prince, he found that after the cavalrymen of the Great Han Kingdom jumped off their horses, they took out a strange-looking stick made of steel from behind, and then pointed these sticks at the Ptolemaic army.

"So this is a musket?"

The eldest prince thought to himself, he was somewhat disdainful of these muskets.

Because in the eyes of the eldest prince, the so-called muskets seemed to be just something to scare people. These muskets didn't even have blades, so how could they kill the enemy?

The general who led the cavalry arrived was Wang Jian.

Wang Jian looked up, and after the long chariot formation in the Ptolemaic army, which was almost endless, he also showed a smile.

"Fortunately, these guys were not let go."

For the soldiers of Ptolemy, these were trophies, and for the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, these were also trophies.

Wang Jian glanced at a guide beside him, and said calmly, "Go and tell that eldest prince to leave all the carriages for me, otherwise we will go to war now."

The reason why Wang Jian dared to be so bold is of course for a reason, because Wang Jian brought a full 2 Musketeers this time.

In Wang Jian's view, this amount is definitely more than enough to deal with the 10,000+ Ptolemaic army in front of him.

After the eldest prince heard Wang Jian's words, his face flushed with anger.

"Are these big Han people really so arrogant?

Pass on the order and send 5000 pioneers to move forward. I want to see if they really dare to fight us? "

As soon as the eldest prince's order was conveyed, the situation immediately became extremely tense.

A Ptolemaic vanguard began to advance slowly.

Watching this scene, Wang Jian gave the order almost without thinking.

"shot!"

The next moment, the sound of bang bang muskets filled the entire battlefield.

The sudden musket sound startled the eldest prince.

When the eldest prince came back to his senses, he was shocked to discover the fact that the 5000 vanguard troops he had just ordered to advance were wiped out by more than half after a few minutes of musket salvo.

That's the power of guns.

Wang Jian spoke again.

"Go and tell the big prince who doesn't know what to do or what to do, this time it's just a little lesson for him. If he doesn't learn the lesson, then none of the Ptolemys will be able to leave here today."

Wang Jian's words were very blunt, because Wang Jian would never allow any trophies belonging to the Han Kingdom to leave here.

After hearing Wang Jian's words, the eldest prince's face became extremely ugly.

Not only the prince, but the Ptolemaic generals beside the prince also looked ugly.

Of course, they have all heard of the magic weapon of the Dahan Kingdom's musket, but they never imagined that the musket is so powerful.

The eldest prince swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with great difficulty: "Otherwise, our entire army will press down and fight them."

But this suggestion was once again met with opposition from everyone.

The old general said: "Your Highness now sees that their Han army is indeed stronger than ours.

That being the case, then we might as well back down once and hand over the spoils.

After returning to Egypt, we will continue to make new plans. The Han Kingdom may be rampant, but they cannot continue to be rampant. "

Regarding the old general's words, the other generals nodded again and again.

Because they can also see that there is a steady stream of Han cavalry coming from the rear and joining the battlefield.

Obviously, the main forces of the Han Dynasty are constantly arriving. After the 20 main forces of the Han Dynasty have all arrived, it is really not that simple for the Ptolemys to leave.

The eldest prince glanced at all the generals present, and said calmly: "This suggestion was made by you, after you return to the country, you can explain it to your father.

Come on, send an order to leave all the spoils, and leave the rest of the people. "

After the order of the great prince was issued, all the Ptolemy soldiers, whether they were willing or unwilling, were forced to give up the spoils of war under the order of their own generals and began to move on.

Wang Jian also smiled after seeing this scene, and led his soldiers to open a road immediately.

The two sides disengaged in such an atmosphere.

A whole day passed, and all the troops of Ptolemy, leaving almost all the spoils behind, left the place.

After watching the departure of the last Ptolemaic army, Wang Jian also let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, okay, go tell the rest of the brothers to stop running around in circles. Let's gather all the spoils and wait for His Majesty's arrival."

Chapter 1231 Restoring Seleucid Order

Although he has gone a long way, the eldest prince of Ptolemy still feels very humiliated.

"These damn Han people, sooner or later, I will crush them to ashes!"

The eldest prince swore angrily.

Ptolemy's soldiers didn't care about the prince's oath.

But all the soldiers knew that their spoils were gone.

It is true that some bold people have hidden some privately, but for most soldiers, it is gone if it is gone.

This fact filled the hearts of the soldiers with resentment.

The target of their hatred is not only the army of the Han Kingdom, but also the eldest prince who led the army.

There are many reasons to hate the eldest prince, such as why the eldest prince didn't leave earlier, why he didn't just fight with the army of the Han Kingdom, and so on.

In short, the eldest prince will find that he will face great trouble.

What Wang Jian faced was great happiness.

Under the watchful eyes of the Han army, the Ptolemys did not take away any carriages, even those carrying grain.

Wang Jian jumped off his horse, stood still in front of a carriage, and then opened a box of the carriage on the spot.

A golden light shot out from the box immediately, causing the breathing around Wang Jian to become rapid.

Wang Jian smiled, took out a gold ingot from the box, and loudly announced to the surrounding soldiers of the Han Kingdom: "This is our gold!"

The next moment, deafening cheers rang out.

Zhao Kuo's army did not arrive until three days later.
