I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.
Chapter 803 Peacock's Movements
"Your Majesty, the Qin cavalry and slave army have already marched south from the Khyber Pass and entered Gaofu."
Upon hearing the report, King Xingda jumped up as if on cue, and roared madly, "Take him away and behead him!"
"This is impossible!"
"Gao Fu is mine, he must be lying. Drag this bastard who gave false military intelligence out of here and behead him!"
The scout who reported the news looked completely bewildered.
"Your Majesty, what I'm saying is true! The Qin army has indeed entered Gaofu..."
"king……"
The scout was still killed.
Even though they were the Peacock's most elite scouts, they were still mercilessly killed after King Shinta gave the order.
The ministers standing nearby tried to keep their presence as inconspicuous as possible.
Once you kill the scouts who report the news, you can't kill them anymore.
This is really exciting! In just a short while, King Shinda has already killed several people!
The enraged Peacock King vented his anger for a while before turning to one of his guards and saying, "Have you found those rats that entered the territory?!"
The guard forced himself to speak: "N-no, we don't know where he is."
He kept praying to the gods that King Xingda would stop his madness and continue killing people.
King Xingda seemed not to hear any of this and went up to strike with his sword.
The bodyguards were cut down.
"Bastards, they're all trash."
"We haven't even found a few mice in all this time!"
No one dared to refute, since they were not being insulted themselves, they simply pretended not to hear it.
King Shinda vented his anger for a while, but was still unable to calm down.
What a bully!
"I was just heading north to attack the Qin army, but before I even attacked, the Qin army made the first move."
"Damn Qin people, you fools from hell, why do you attack the Peacock Kingdom so recklessly!"
“You should all go back to your hell…”
King Xingda grumbled and cursed for a long time.
I am very uneasy.
"The three men, Shenjian Jue and his men, are to lead troops to guard the north and defend against Gao Fu."
"Send all the slave soldiers to the High Prison!"
"Order all the other nobles and their warriors to obey the military minister's orders and find these rats that have entered the peacock."
"Minister of Military Affairs, I am only giving you half a month. If you cannot accomplish this, then go and apologize to the gods."
The military minister, whose name was called, stood up with dead fish eyes and despair.
King Xingda had always longed for greater military strength, to learn advanced civilization systems, and to change the situation within his territory.
They even imitated Seleucus and established a parliament.
As the Minister of Military Affairs, he was nominally in charge of all the troops, but in reality, he couldn't command even a single soldier.
Peacocks have an extremely strict sense of hierarchy; even a slave they might kick to death on the street has an owner.
The Peacock Army was basically under the command of their master.
Above that are the five territories established by the Peacock King, led by five nobles from the highest bloodlines.
His position as military minister was merely a figurehead.
Now, if we let him lead these people to find the Qin army, who will listen to him?
Moreover, King Xingda has been back for several days, and they have heard a lot about the situation in the north.
Even King Xingda himself was completely outmaneuvered by the Qin army lurking in the darkness.
These rats were clearly not found by King Xingda himself, which is why he let them travel south, causing chaos and entering his territory.
Why should he go?!
This is an impossible mission; isn't this forcing him to die?
However, King Shinta is now issuing orders forcefully, rather than consulting with others.
He had no right to refuse.
"You must be king and find these rats."
After the military minister left, King Shinda waved wearily.
"Get out, all of you..."
He had just woken up when he heard a lot of bad news, and he was in a very bad mood.
After venting my anger and arranging things, I prepared to rest!
……
High-level affiliated high school.
The Qin army camp.
The members of the military observation group watched as the Qin army quickly set up their camps and prepared to rest for the night.
Even though it wasn't the first time I'd witnessed the speed of the Qin army, it was still breathtaking.
"The Qin soldiers are highly mobile and extremely united and cooperative, which may be..."
Some people exclaimed that this might be the best warrior in the world!
You must understand that in their country, if a major war breaks out, it is the nobles who each lead the armies of their own territories to assemble, regardless of efficiency.
When they set out on their campaigns, there wouldn't be the kind of scene that the Qin army has now, where each soldier coordinates and quickly sets up camp.
In less than half an hour, the simple campsite was set up.
Moreover, the Qin army had a clear division of labor.
The soldiers who were cooking had already prepared the food, and after the camp was set up, they immediately began to eat.
Antiochus III said coldly, "The Qin army is strong not only in military strength, but also in every aspect, including strict discipline and obedience!"
He still underestimated the Qin army.
The Qin army seemed to be born warriors, practically perfect soldiers.
Antioch was so envious he was practically drooling.
If Seleucus had ten thousand such warriors, he would have dominated the world long ago.
Even in the Seleucid Empire's centrally administered legions, there was considerable interference from nobles, making it difficult to ensure complete obedience to orders.
Not to mention the treatment during marches.
The different strengths of the various noble families meant that their military treatment varied accordingly.
There was a significant difference in the food and drink of the nobles compared to that of the soldiers.
Qin soldiers, including generals, basically ate the same food.
In fact, if all the food in his Seleucid army was like that of the Qin army, the generals could also eat with the soldiers.
Just then, they heard a 'gurgling' sound behind them.
Turning around, they saw the Parthian messenger drinking something.
The Parthian envoy, seeing the gazes of the crowd, grinned and said, "The Qin army just sent over some mutton soup. Would you all like a bowl? It's truly delicious!"
The Pergamon envoy gritted his teeth in anger: "The Qin army has already entered Gaofu and is about to march south from here to attack Kongque."
"Our envoys sent to the Peacock have yet to send back a single message!"
"You still have the mind to eat the food sent by the Qin people!"
The Parthian envoy calmly said, "If you don't want to drink this mutton soup, I'll take it all with me and let my entourage try it!"
Everyone's eyes widened immediately, and the aroma filled their nostrils, so they couldn't resist sitting down.
Soon, everyone began to eat and drink heartily.
"These are spoils of war obtained by the Qin army that broke into Gaofu earlier. The Qin army said there was no need to keep them, so they slaughtered them all in the past few days. Even the slave soldiers got a lot of mutton soup!"
The Parthian envoy continued speaking, and everyone paused for a moment in surprise.
Some people were disgusted that they were eating the same food as the slave soldiers.
It was also somewhat shocking that the Qin army would even share such delicious food with the slave army.
A bunch of animals, do they deserve such good treatment?
While everyone was still in a daze, they realized that the mutton soup was being consumed rapidly.
For a moment, Qin Jun's mind went blank, leaving only the aroma of mutton soup.
They immediately reached out and grabbed it.
"You Parthian fool, eat slower..."
After a moment of silence, Antiochus III sighed helplessly. "It's come to this now, let's eat first!"
