As a famous general who could build a huge territory for the Seleucci Empire with 3,000 troops and horses in just ten years, this Seleucci Eastern Governor was certainly not a fool.

It is precisely because of this that the Governor came up with such a solution, which is to use the Wusun people as scapegoats to test the strength of the soldiers and horses of this great Han country.

If the soldiers and horses of the Great Han Kingdom were not strong enough, even weaker than the Wusun people, then the Governor could destroy all the Wusun and the Han Kingdom's army in one go.

In this way, the land occupied by the Wusun people can completely become the territory of the Seleucids.

If the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty could fight against the Wusun people and were even stronger than the Wusun people, then the governor could also formulate corresponding countermeasures based on the strength levels measured by the Wusun people.

So after making up his mind, the governor stopped hesitating and immediately issued an order.

"Now I will send me an order to gather all our Seleucid warriors. When tomorrow dawn, we will set out in the direction of the Wusun people to meet with the stupid Wusun army and see what abilities this so-called great Han country has!"

Three days later, Governor Seleucus led his troops to the capital of Wusun Kingdom in a mighty manner.

This speed was undoubtedly completely beyond the expectations of the Wusun people. The Wusun King appeared at the city gate with a look of panic and nervous look on his face and personally welcomed the arrival of the Seleucid Governor.

Governor Seleucus sat on his specially made Greek chariot, staring at the humble King Wusun before him, and said calmly: "From today on, you are the highest commander of this Wusun city, and the Wusun Kingdom will no longer exist. Do you understand what I mean?"

The King of Wusun certainly understood the meaning of this Seleucid. This meaning was actually from today on that the entire Wusun Kingdom was officially incorporated into the territory of the Seleucid Empire and was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Eastern Governor of the Seleucid Empire.

The gap between going from a king to a city guard is undoubtedly quite huge, but the current Wusun King actually has no better choice, so he can only agree.

After seeing the King Wusun agreed, Governor Seleucus also showed a smile on his face and said, "In the future, you will know how glorious and lucky it is to join our Seleucus Empire.

You will have the opportunity to fight side by side with us, the descendants of Alexander the Great, and accept our guidance and leadership, a dream that countless people can never reach."

While saying this, the face of the governor of the eastern Seleucid Empire showed confidence and pride from the bottom of his heart.

You should know that this governor, his grandfather, followed Alexander the Great to conquer the vast empire territory decades ago.

Later, when Alexander the Great lost, after a very fierce civil war, the grandfather of the governor finally controlled the eastern part of the Alexander Empire and established the Seleucid Empire.

Later, his grandfather died, so the throne of the Seleucid Empire was passed to the governor's father, the current Seleucid Emperor.

In other words, the eastern governor of the Seleucci Empire is actually the second prince of the Seleucci Empire today, and is also the candidate who is recognized as the most promising candidate for the next generation of the Seleucci Empire.

Now the governor prince feels that he is following his grandfather's will and contributing to the expansion of the Seleucid Empire.

What he wanted to do was very simple, that was to defeat all the enemies in front of him, then inherit the throne, and then restore the territory of the Alexander Empire back then.

And all this is in progress. Today, after conquering Wusun, this place will become a new starting point for the glory of the governor.

After all, the area where Wusun is located is a new place that even Alexander the Great had never conquered.

The envoy responsible for persuading the surrender of the Wusun people also appeared, and he saluted the governor respectfully.

"Great Master, is there anything else that the tiny servant can serve you?"

The governor glanced at the envoy, nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have done a very good job. My servant, you have another new task next, that is, to meet the so-called emperor of the Great Han Kingdom for me, to see what kind of background it is, and whether it is qualified to become my opponent!"

As a prince, a prince who is likely to become the future emperor of the Seleucid Empire, this governor is undoubtedly very proud.

This innate pride and confidence even influenced his behavior and combat methods.

For him, he admired the style of Alexander the Great very much. He rarely made any strange plans in wars, but liked to defeat the enemy upright.

The most important thing is that he likes aristocratic opponent who is comparable to his status. In this way, he will feel very happy because everyone is standing on the same level to fight for glory.

But if the opponent is a civilian or slave, the governor often cannot be interested. Even if he is a person like Wusun, who has already called himself a king, the governor actually feels that he is just a tribal leader who calls him a king.

But now a rare opponent has appeared. Are there so-called empires and emperors in the distant East?

This is undoubtedly a very, very attractive thing for the Governor.

After hearing the order of the governor, the messenger immediately responded with great respect.

"Don't worry, the great master, your servant will set out to see what the true faces of those from the East are."

After watching the messenger leave in a carriage, the governor nodded slightly and said to the Wusun King in front of him in a majestic tone: "Now you gather all your troops and horses for me. They will accept my leadership in the next days. Remember not to do any small moves, because it is related to the life and death of your Wusun people."

Just as the governor-general prince from the Seleucid Empire was vigorously implementing his new measures, Zhao Kuo led 150,000 cavalry from the Han Dynasty and moved slowly towards the West.

After crossing Turpan, it is the very wide middle section of the Tianshan Mountains. However, perhaps because of the gift of the Creator, there is a road here to cross the Tianshan Mountains and reach the northern end of the Tianshan Mountains, which is the true northern border.

There are still big differences between northern and southern Xinjiang. The biggest difference is that although there are deserts and the climate is very hot, the oasis here is more suitable for human habitation.

Therefore, there were naturally more settlements and cities Zhao Kuo encountered along the way, but this time Zhao Kuo did not divide his troops here to garrison.

Because Zhao Kuo knew very well that this place was actually the territory of the enemy country. If he divided his troops rashly, it would be very likely that these troops would be eaten by the already concentrated enemy in one bite.

Wang Jian put forward a new suggestion: "Perhaps we can set up a relatively large stronghold nearby, concentrate our troops in this large stronghold, and then remotely control other small strongholds."

After hearing Wang Jian's words, Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "This method is actually feasible, but it will be officially implemented after we completely defeat the Wusun Kingdom."

Why do you say so?

The main reason is that in Zhao Kuo's view, Wang Jian's idea is still relatively conservative after all, and it is a defensive suggestion.

But for Zhao Kuo now, he led so many troops here, not for defense, but for formally incorporating this land under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

So from Zhao Kuo's perspective, of course, he prefers the offensive strategy, which should be to completely solve the enemy's main force once and for all, and then consider how to garrison.

Just like at this time Mao Sui brought about a new situation.

"There is a man who claims to be an envoy of the Seleucid Empire outside, waiting for your summons."

After hearing the news about Mao Xue, Zhao Guo was not surprised. Instead, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.

"It seems that these Seiucus are still unwilling to give up this land, but this is good. Let me see if the descendants of Alexander can really be as outstanding as their ancestors!"

From Zhao Kuo's own heart, he certainly respected the Emperor Alexander. It's a pity that this Emperor Alexander died young after his lifetime. Otherwise, Zhao Kuo might have a little chance to fight with Emperor Alexander in person.

Soon, the envoy of the Eastern Governor came to Zhao Kuo and saluted Zhao Kuo.

"The envoy of the Governor of Seleucid greeted the emperor of the Han Kingdom."

Zhao Kuo looked at the Eastern Poisoned Envoy carefully. He could see that the Eastern Governor's envoy's skin was not so fair, and he didn't look like a very pure Viking or Germanic.

However, this is relatively easy to understand. After all, Greece actually belongs to the southern European region. The people here are not as white as Western Europe, and they are more similar to those of Latin race.

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "You descendants of Alexander the Great have been fighting for so many years. Is there a good result now?"

The words of both sides do not understand, so this kind of speech must be performed through translation.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the messenger's face showed a look of surprise and said, "I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor had heard of our Alexander the Great."

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he burst into laughter and said, "I'm going to tell you, if I could have been born decades earlier, I would definitely take the initiative to lead the troops of our Han Kingdom to advance westward and compete with your Emperor Alexander."

The messenger spoke without any hesitation and replied: "If you really want to do this, then there is nothing you can gain except failure."

For these Alexander descendants, they were obviously full of unparalleled confidence in the Great Emperor.

Zhao Kuo laughed. He did not intend to argue with such an ordinary messenger on such an occasion, as it would be a loss of identity.

"So what news did you want to tell me if the Governor of the Eastern Seleucid Empire sent you to?"

The messenger's eyes flashed slightly and said, "Our great Governor sent me here, in fact, to tell the Emperor that the tall mountains between our two countries can be used as the boundary.

To the north of the mountains, all of them are the territory of our Seleucid Empire, and to the south of the mountains, you are the emperor. I wonder how your Majesty the Emperor judges this proposal of our governor?"

Zhao Kuo looked at the messenger clearly and clearly put the other party's expression into his eyes, and also knew what medicine was selling in the other party's gourd.

This was not because the Seleucids really wanted to score the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains with the Han Dynasty, but just a tentative means.

They want to test out how much confidence Zhao Kuo has to start a war through this question.

If Zhao Kuo quickly agreed to this proposal, it would mean that Zhao Kuo actually had no confidence in defeating the Seleucid Empire.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Let me say that, no matter whether it is south of the Tianshan Mountains or north of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as the land I can see, it will belong to my great Han Kingdom.

As for your Seleucid Empire, I would like to advise you that it is best to withdraw my troops now and not to provoke us, otherwise you will not have any other end except for destruction.”

Of course, Zhao Kuo could not agree to this condition. You must know Zhao Kuo’s goal, but how could he stop before he even arrived in Central Asia at this time?

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, the Seleucid Empire envoy also showed a surprised expression on his face.

For this envoy, he felt that the most powerful country in the world was undoubtedly the more countries that emerged after the decomposition of the Alexander Empire, and the Seleucid Empire was one of them.

As for this great Han country that popped up from somewhere, how could it be comparable to the Seleucid Empire?

So the envoy immediately made a judgment on Zhao Kuo in his heart - this was a reckless, brave but not resourceful emperor.

The envoy stood up, saluted Zhao Kuo again, and then spoke, "Since you said such arrogant words by Your Majesty, then our Seleucid Empire can only respond accordingly. I hope that by that time, when Your Majesty truly ushered in the end, you will not regret today's arrogance."

After hearing the envoy's words, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing.

It has been many years since Zhao Kuo has not felt such obvious disdain and contempt in others.

Do these Westerners really like to be proud and arrogant?

After a moment, Zhao Kuo curled his smile and said to the envoy in front of him: "Maybe you don't know. After you said this today, the demise of the Seleucid Empire is already destined!"
