"Feiyu, what do you think about this matter?"
General Ying Zheng told the general situation again and started asking questions.
Before this, he had already discussed it with all six ministers!
But I have never come up with a feasible solution!
Loulan is too far away from Xianyang, a full five thousand miles away. Even if he agrees to send troops to support, Loulan will probably be defeated before reaching the destination, and it will be a waste of food and grass!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very resourceful, and he might be able to come up with a feasible solution, unlike me, who just act recklessly, and after deliberation for a long time, we still got nothing!"
Wang Ben laughed at himself.
"Prince? Are you the prince of Da Qin, the original young master?"
As soon as they heard these two words, the two foreigners who were leaning on the chairs suddenly became energetic, plopped down on their knees on the ground, and kept kowtowing.
"Although our Loulan is far away from Da Qin, we have heard from businessmen who come and go that the young master has become the prince of Da Qin. You must have a way to help us!"
"Yes! After our queen returned to Loulan, she told the ministers about your deeds. We all admire you and hope you can save our Loulan!"
"Whether Loulan can survive or not depends on His Highness the Crown Prince...!"
The two of you said something to each other, using the Chinese language that was sloppy, and they won Feiyu's praise.
When Loulan and King Donghu came to visit, Yingzheng deliberately left them alone for a few days and let them visit various places in Xianyang.
After Ling Si's introduction, all the new gadgets in the city were developed by Ying Feiyu, so Queen Loulan would pay special attention to the deeds of this young master at that time.
Not long after returning to Loulan, she heard that the young master had become the crown prince. The Queen of Loulan was very happy for a while!
Unexpectedly, the spring drought made Yuezhi and Wusun have evil intentions, and they even joined forces to attack Loulan.
According to what the ministers just said, Loulan was hopeless, and they suddenly lost their energy.
Now that I have met this legendary prince, my hope has been rekindled!
"Okay, it's good that you two can make it to Xianyang alive. If you continue to fight, you may lose your life! By then, even if I have a way to save Loulan, you won't be able to see you for a day!"
Ying Feiyu sat on the chair and said with a smile.
"So, His Highness the Crown Prince really has a way to save Lou Lan?"
Their eyes lit up.
"You should go and take a rest first, let's discuss it!"
Ying Feiyu was ready to send the two of them out.
Otherwise, the two of them might get too excited during the discussion later and die!
"Uh...! That's fine!"
The two frowned and nodded with grimaces, "Loulan is a vassal state of Great Qin. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will think of a way to save me, Loulan!"
The two of them were helped by the soldiers at the door to rest. Before leaving, the two of them begged, which shows their patriotism!
"Alas! It's not easy to break out of the siege, be covered in injuries, and have to endure thousands of miles to reach Daqin!"
"If it weren't for the belief in saving the country, they wouldn't have been able to survive until now!"
"Yes! Loulan is really miserable. It has always been remembered by other surrounding countries. They thought that being close to our Great Qin would stop those small countries from thinking about it. Unexpectedly, there was a drought, which gave others an opportunity... !”
After the two left, the ministers started talking, most of them expressing sympathy for the two and Loulan.
In their opinion, no matter whether Da Qin sends troops or not, Loulan will be destroyed!
Because they simply can't survive the arrival of reinforcements!
Even if Great Qin were to hold people accountable, they could only go to Wusun and Yuezhi. Loulan would soon disappear from this era!
"Feiyu! What do you think we should do about this matter?"
Ying Zheng stroked his beard and thought for a long time, and finally laid his eyes on Ying Feiyu.
After some explanations by Jing Fu on the way, and the accounts of the two Loulan soldiers, I believe this kid also understood what was going on.
"What do you mean, father?"
However, Ying Feiyu did not answer the question.
"Loulan is now a county of our Great Qin. Logically speaking, if something like this happens, Great Qin must send reinforcements to support it. Besides, there are many soldiers of our Great Qin there...!"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and continued: "But Loulan and Xianyang are too far apart, and it will take time to raise food and grass for the army. I am afraid that Loulan will be defeated before the army reaches Longxi!"
Daqin has begun planning to build a railway from Jiaodong to Longxi, passing through Xianyang.
But the construction has just begun, and the roadbed has not even been repaired, let alone taking the train.
Without fast transportation, the soldiers could only walk on foot as before.
It takes seven or eight days just to reach Longxi, not to mention that there are more than 4,000 miles ahead, and it will take at least two or three months to get there!
Even if these 100,000 troops dug with bare hands, they should have dug through Loulan City!
"Alas! What a pity for our three thousand soldiers of Great Qin!"
Wang Ben also felt that there was no hope and shook his head helplessly.
Loulan surrendered and agreed to be reduced to a county guard, pay tribute according to the law, and all the soldiers would be replaced by the Qin army.
Fortunately, Loulan had a small population and was willing to surrender, so the court only sent three thousand soldiers to garrison it.
But no matter how small the number of people is, they are all the people of Da Qin, and it is always a pity that they died in vain!
"Our Daqin population is not large, how can we sacrifice these three thousand soldiers...?"
Everyone's attitude was negative, and Ying Feiyu finally couldn't help but say, "Father just said that Loulan is no longer an independent country, but a county of our Great Qin, that is, the land of my Great Qin. If it is our own Great Qin Company, If we can’t protect the land, aren’t we being laughed at? From now on, any cat or dog will be able to sit on our necks and pee!”
"Then...what do you mean...even if you can't save it, you still have to save it?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
"No! Your Highness, it's not cost-effective to do this. A large army goes out and a lot of food and grass are spent, just to keep a good reputation?"
Zhang Han immediately stood up and objected.
The army can only go as far as Longxi before returning, which is simply a waste of people and money!
"Yes, I don't agree with it either!"
Even Wang Ben, who has always been loyal, raised objections.
Because there is no chance of winning this battle.
"If we were to attack Yueshi and Wusun instead, I would definitely support it, but sending troops to save Loulan is really not cost-effective. Loulan is already hopeless!"
Feng Quji nodded slightly, supporting their opinions.
"Who said Loulan is hopeless? I have a solution!"
Ying Feiyu smiled confidently and said firmly.
"Do you have any idea...?"
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly widened and he was quite shocked, but it only took a moment for them to darken again, "Hurry up and pull him down. The biggest problem now is the distance. No matter how powerful you are, you can't reach him within a few days." , then take out something that travels thousands of miles a day, right?"
