Perseus thought he knew a lot about the Western Regions, after all, Perseus himself was one of the strategists who persuaded Theodotus to find a way to take the Western Regions.

Although the Zhao people are strong, 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 180,000 (which is already a lot in Perseus's opinion) into the Western Regions to attack the Xiongnu, it is impossible for the Zhao people to occupy the Western Regions for a long time after the victory.

As long as the Zhao people retreated, there would naturally be a very large power vacuum in the Western Regions, which had been purged by the Xiongnu and the Zhao people, and Governor Theodotus, the master of Perseus, could take advantage of this gap to complete the occupation and domination of the Western Regions.

As long as he can occupy the Western Regions, then with 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" that he dreams of.

In this way, Perseus, who moved the rescue from the Zhao State, is naturally the first to take the lead.

This is the reason why Perseus is obviously a handful of years, but he still has to venture through the Xiongnu-controlled area to the east, as long as he can succeed, then the future position of the state minister of the Kingdom of Bactria will naturally belong to him.

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

In Perseus's opinion, since this Zhao Empire is also a country as powerful as his own Seleucus, it must be a very polite country.

So he should live in a very large and wide embassy, and then there will be beautiful foreign girls to serve him, although Perseus is fifty-six years old this year, but he is still very confident in his own capital.

After spending a pleasant spring night together, the king of the Zhao Empire would receive him very cordially, and then he and the king of Zhao had a good conversation, and then the king of Zhao rose up after hearing the news of his sworn enemy the Xiongnu, and sent a large army to the west to help his master, the governor of Theodotus, eliminate the Huns.

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

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

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Perseus couldn't help frowning.

As an old fritter who has been immersed in the power field for many years, Perseus can keenly perceive that this seems to be a very special place, with a solemn and murderous smell.

Perseus's face changed, and he hurriedly asked the person next to him, "Ales, have we been sent to prison?" ”

Ales was the only one in the mission who had learned the language.

Ales was obviously also a little puzzled, and said a few words to the black-clothed man of Zhao Guo on the side in Yayu.

At this moment, a man dressed in the costume of an official of the Zhao State walked up and said a few words to Perseus.

Alex translated: "Venerable Perseus, this is Mao Sui, the diplomatic governor of the Zhao State, and he will be responsible for receiving our food, clothing, shelter and transportation these days. ”

The person who came was Mao Sui.

Perseus breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand towards Mao Sui, and said with a smile: "Venerable Chief Mao Sui, Perseus greets you. ”

Mao Sui also smiled and arched his hand towards Perseus, and then said, "This Perseus, Perseus, what documents do you have to prove your identity?" ”

Perseus hurriedly took out the parchment he had shown to Lu Qing that day from his bosom, and said with a smile: "This is a handwritten letter written by our Venerable Antiochus II to the Venerable King of Zhao. ”

Of course, this autograph letter was forged, and anyway, in Perseus's opinion, it was impossible for Zhao to go to Antiochus City, thousands of miles away, to find Antiochus II for verification.

In fact, Perseus felt that it was impossible for Zhao Guoren to even understand the text on it.

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

I saw Mao Sui and said: "That's like Perseus, I have actually obtained information, and some of you are spies from the Huns!" ”

"Spies?" Perseus suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and even couldn't help laughing: "Chief Mao Sui, there must be some misunderstanding here." We, the Bactrians, are the enemies of the Huns, so how can there be spies of the Huns? ”

Mao Sui showed a big smile at Perseus, and then said: "Mr. Perseus, I believe that you, as an envoy, will not betray the motherland, but the people below you, I'm afraid it's not easy to say...... Someone's coming! ”

Under Perseus's frightened gaze, the men in black who had just escorted their group 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 practitioners, and in a few strokes, the warriors under Perseus all lost their combat effectiveness, and then they were all taken away.

Perseus was left with only the translator, Alex.

Perseus's old face turned red, and he said angrily to Mao Sui in front of him: "Chief Mao Sui, our Seleucus is a powerful empire like your Zhao State, and you can't treat a messenger like me with such means. ”

Mao Sui raised his hand with a smile and stopped Perseus's words: "Guest, Mr. Perseus, all right, your house is ready, please." ”

Perseus knew that he had no room for resistance at this moment, so he could only sigh and say to Mao Sui: "Chief Mao Sui, I only hope you don't hurt their lives, they are all rare warriors, who have accompanied me all the way to come here loyally, and they don't deserve a humiliating death." ”

Mao Sui smiled brightly.

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

"My lord, this is a record of the interrogation of the Seleucids, and everything is here."

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

Mao Sui didn't brag, and Hu Yiwei's interrogation methods were not covered, and there was all the information that 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 today, and so on.

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

"This messenger is quite interesting...... Go and call Governor Li Mu. Tell him that his good luck is coming. ”
