"Pick...pick grapes?"
Leiter was confused.
Emotions Yingzheng allocated an army of 300,000 to the young prince, and sent Marquis Tongwu and General Mengyi to come to their Huns, just to pick grapes in Dawan in the Western Regions?
"Yes, although Da Qin has a vast territory and rich resources, the climate is not suitable for growing grapes. If the Xiongnu can pay tribute to grapes every year, then we will leave immediately!"
Little Shota was gesticulating in a decent manner, as if they would really withdraw their troops as long as they took out the grapes.
"Pfft..."
This time Han Xin, Wang Ben and others couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Should I say it or not, the young master still knows how to play!
They had seen the Dawan Kingdom on the world map of the other courtyard. It was thousands of miles away from the Xiongnu, and the climate contrast between the two places was very big. Moreover, there were many small countries in the Western Regions in between!
It would be fine to live in harmony with neighboring countries, but this Xiongnu is domineering. Not only does his relationship with Da Qin have a very bad relationship, but his relationship with Donghu and Yuezhi are at a freezing point. If one of them fails, they may start a war.
In this case, can they allow you to take people across their country to Dawan?
He said he was going to pick grapes, but who would believe it?
I'm afraid that as soon as the front foot enters Yuezhi, the back foot will be beaten out!
Although there is no large-scale war between the two countries at the moment, as long as you step into someone else's territory, you will lose if they don't beat the crap out of you!
Even if we try our best to overcome all these obstacles and pick the grapes, it is absolutely impossible to transport them to Daqin due to the long distance!
This is obviously to create problems for him, just for fun!
"Young Master, forgive me. We Xiongnu are determined to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. Young Master, you can drive cattle, sheep and war horses as you please, but these grapes... we really can't do anything about it!"
After thinking for a long time, Leiter reluctantly gave a salute with an extremely respectful attitude, hoping that the boy could change his request.
"No! I want to eat grapes. If you Xiongnu can't get them, then I will just lead my troops to taste them myself. I will inevitably have to borrow some help from the Xiongnu!"
However, Xiao Zhengtai ignored him at all and said nonchalantly.
The meaning is obvious, if you can get grapes through various countries in the Western Region, I won't fight them!
If you can't get it, I will fight from you Xiongnu to Dawan and eat fresh grapes!
Either way, it is not a good thing for the Huns!
Leiter glanced at the other generals in the tent. They all looked like they were watching a good show. No one came out to stop this absurd request!
This is the first time he has seen someone who doesn’t want land, cattle and sheep, but insists on eating some fruit!
If Ying Zheng hadn't allowed him to act recklessly, there would be only one last possibility left.
They are determined to win the Huns, and eating grapes is just an excuse!
Thinking of this, Lei Te suddenly felt excited all over.
In this case, we can only use delaying tactics.
"The young master does not want cattle and sheep, but loves grapes, so I, the Huns, will not disappoint the young master. As long as the young master agrees to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I, the Huns, will do our best to pay tribute to the young master with grapes every year!"
This kid was deliberately making things difficult, and Leiter could only use this to delay time.
Anyway, the conditions were set by them, so they can't go back on their word. Let's delay him for a year and a half first.
This surprised Xiaozhengtai.
The Huns agreed to his request even though they knew they couldn't get the grapes. The Huns were indeed cunning.
This is to deal with the current level first, and then find a reason to delay or even regret it later!
"Hey! I'm really sorry. I just forgot something. I am a quick-tempered person. I can't wait too long. Let's... tomorrow. Tomorrow, the young master will go to the royal city to eat grapes. If not, it's no wonder. Me!"
Xiao Zhengtai stood up with his little hands behind his back and said with a playful smile.
The meaning is obvious, you are just teasing him!
"Young Master, I, the Xiongnu, can swear to the Wolf King that we come here with sincerity and want to shake hands and make peace, but the Young Master deliberately makes things difficult. Doesn't it violate the name of the Qin Dynasty as a country of etiquette?"
After coming to his senses, Lei Te was no longer polite and asked sonorously.
"Hmph! Are you worthy of shaking hands with a barbarian like you? Go away quickly and go back to tell your parricide-turned-chanyu. Quickly build yourself an archway and burn some paper money in advance so that after the Xiongnu destroys the country, in the following days Not having a good time!”
Peng Yue mocked unceremoniously, winked at the soldiers behind him, and led Lei Te and others away.
"You will regret it. I, the Huns, will not be defeated so easily...!"
After being forcibly dragged out of the tent, Leiter was still shouting hysterically.
Several people in the tent rolled their eyes, then looked at each other and smiled.
"I don't know where the Huns got the confidence to think of suing for peace when they were about to attack the city. What did they do earlier?"
"Hmph! Your Xiongnu Chanyu has just killed his own father and ascended to the throne of Chanyu. How can you be willing to give it up until the last moment? He will never give in until the last moment!"
"Now it's the last minute, but what's the use? What kind of cities and war horses are there to tempt us? Do you really think we have never seen the world?"
"Who says it's not the case? We are being fooled. If we take down the Huns, how many horses will we be able to raise?"
"Ha ha……!"
After the envoy left, Wang Bi, Zhang Han, Wang Li, Fan Kuai and others couldn't help laughing.
"Wang Li, do you have enough ammunition?"
After a while, the young lady suppressed her smile, sat on the main seat, and asked sternly with a straight face.
"Don't worry, young master, the craftsmen in the arsenal are working day and night, and there is definitely enough ammunition!"
When it came to business, Wang Li and the others quickly straightened their bodies and reported truthfully.
"Okay, tomorrow morning we will attack the King's City of the Huns. I will use the same tactic as before with a bag to beat the dog. I will surround the King's City with artillery fire from three directions and set up an ambush in the other direction, waiting for them to escape. Who will do it tomorrow? If you kill Mao Dun, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins!"
"yes!"
Everyone accepted the order, as if they had been given blood.
Without the Xiongnu army, the few troops in the royal city alone would not be enough to fill their teeth!
"After taking the royal city, we will divide our troops into ten groups and sweep across the entire Xiongnu!"
"yes!"
…
After discussing the attack route, everyone withdrew from the king's tent, leaving only Wang Wan and Yu Ji.
Wang Wan is still writing furiously, recording the entire process of the envoy's visit just now, plus the route that the young lady will deploy later!
After Yu Ji made a pot of tea, she made the bed for the young lady!
"Hey! Little Short Legs, that thing you just mentioned...the grapes of Dawan, do they really exist?"
After recording everything, Wang Wan raised her head and asked doubtfully.
She had never heard of grapes, and she didn’t even know that the country Dawan existed!
After all, she is still a girl. Even though she has martial arts skills, no man still cares about these important national affairs!
"That's right, grapes are sweet and sour, and they are very delicious. After we deal with the Huns later, when we have time, I will lead my troops to sweep across the Western Regions and pick grapes for you to try!"
"No! This girl likes to eat fresh food! In the Western Region, I, a war reporter, must travel with the army!"
"Haha, okay, it will be good for you to eat more!"
Xiao Zhengtai showed a meaningful smile.
"Why...?"
Wang Wan didn't know why, so she blinked and asked.
Little Shota waved to her, asked her to come over and whispered: "Eat more grapes, and the children you will give birth to will have eyes as bright and big as grapes!"
"you……"
Being teased suddenly, the little girl was ashamed and angry, and subconsciously looked at Yu Ji behind her.
Fortunately, the distance between the two of them was far away, and Shota's voice was very low, otherwise she would really have to find a crack in the ground to get in!
