The capital of the ghost tribe, Yaer City.
Although this city is not majestic, it still covers a huge area.
The buildings in the city are very different from those in the Central Plains, with most of them having round roofs.
In the ancient castle located in the center of Yar, the Ghost King was changing his clothes, with his hands stretched out, while the maid dressed him in gorgeous clothes.
He is the son of the old ghost king. His father was defeated in the Central Plains and was killed by Qin Wang Xiao Yuan. When the news came back, the ghost clan was shocked. In order to stabilize the situation, the elders of the Congress quickly pushed him to the throne, and he has been holding on to the throne. The slogan of revenge for the father.
In the past few years, we have worked hard and recruited warriors, but recovery is not that simple.
Because the defeat of the old ghost king was not only a simple loss of 600,000 troops, but also an invasion that gathered the strength and wealth of the whole country.
You can imagine how much gold, silver, and strategic resources it would cost to build so many armored heavy cavalry.
Although the new Ghost King is still a wise king, he will not be able to fill this hole in a short time, let alone regain the strength he once had.
In the morning, the proceedings began.
The elders of the Congress and the noble generals entered the castle.
This palace is magnificent, and there are also many jade objects from the Central Plains, which were obviously plundered in the past, or were compensated for peace during the Shang Dynasty.
The ghost clan invades not just once or twice. When they are strong, they will come again when they think of it, and they always come back with a full load. Otherwise, they would not have formed the concept of wolf and sheep in their hearts.
The cowardly dynasty is easy to bully, and it also likes to pay compensation to support its enemies.
At this time, directly above, the Ghost King was already sitting on the throne.
Everyone participating in the discussion below put their hands on their chests and knelt down to salute.
After the etiquette of the scene, the Ghost King didn't talk too much. He directly raised the question and explained the letter from Yurilo of Seth City.
In a word, the Qin cavalry is frequently dispatched and raging on our borders. How to deal with it.
This piece of information was like a boulder dropped into a pool, causing countless waves.
Everyone immediately exploded, and a noble general said: "This is impossible! The Central Plains have always been cowardly! They should have begged us not to attack them, how could they dare to violate the territory!"
"But this is a fact. Qin's cavalry has burned several villages."
"Urilo has the responsibility of guarding the border in Seth City, and he doesn't dare to pass on military information indiscriminately."
"The Qin army is different from those Central Plains armies in the past. Haven't we realized this a long time ago?"
"But I still can't believe that the people of the Central Plains have such courage. Cowardly sheep dare to enter the pack of wolves."
"General Laisen, if you still hold such thoughts, then the defeat of Huandi will happen again!"
"Nonsense!" The noble general's blood surged: "The people of the Central Plains have always been our slaves! The defeat of Huandi was just an accident!"
The place was noisy and noisy.
"Okay!" The Ghost King couldn't bear it anymore.
The scene fell silent.
He also said seriously: "We have to admit the fact that the Qin army is not afraid of us at all, and the Emperor of Qin has unified the Central Plains and is stronger than us in terms of military strength."
"But His Majesty the King, this is purely a military provocation, and we absolutely cannot tolerate it." A general said.
The noble general named Laisen spoke even more fiercely: "That's right! We have always bullied the Central Plains, how could we allow them to attack the border! Please ask for orders from my subordinates to lead the warriors to break through the Northeast Pass! Massacre their people and capture their girls. , when the time comes, they will know who is the master and who is the slave! And they will definitely kneel down and surrender to us!"
An elder of the Congress shook his head and said: "Your Majesty the King, in my opinion, the current Central Plains is no longer the chaotic war situation among the countries in the past. The fact that Emperor Qin can wipe out these princes shows that the Qin army is not easy to mess with. You can also see something of this in Yurilo’s letters.”
"Then what do you mean?"
"I think we shouldn't start a national war with Emperor Qin rashly. We can send envoys to question him first. The effect will be better."
"Absurd!" The noble general was furious again: "Sending envoys to ask about such things has always been done to us by the Central Plains! When will it be our turn!"
"General Laisen! Please face the situation between us and the enemy squarely. Arrogance will lead to failure!" The elder of the Congress said: "Sending envoys to the Central Plains is also asking them to apologize and explain this border conflict. Maybe we can get something done. Let’s pay some compensation, right?”
"Humph!" The noble general tilted his head, but said nothing.
The Ghost King pondered for a moment, looked at the elders of the Congress and said: "This border conflict happened unexpectedly. Are you sure it will be useful to send an envoy?"
The latter said: "No matter what, we still have to ask Emperor Qin what he means and give us an explanation."
"Yes." The Ghost King nodded and was about to agree when Laisen suddenly said: "Your Majesty the King! Have you forgotten the revenge of the late king? The death of the late king was because of the Qin Emperor and the Qin Army. This revenge must be avenged. ah!"
"I have not forgotten it!" The Ghost King's face turned cold: "It's just that our country has not yet recovered the strength to invade the Central Plains, and the Northeast Pass is not as easy to break as imagined!"
"Give me some more time. When the time comes, I will kill all the people in the Central Plains and sacrifice them with blood!"
"Okay! I have no objection to sending the envoy first." What Laisen wanted was the attitude of the Ghost King. If it meant surrendering to the Central Plains, he would not accept it even to his death.
"Okay, just follow what the elders of the Congress said." The Ghost King looked around and fixed his eyes on a middle-aged man: "Iles, you will represent our country as an envoy to the Central Plains."
"Yes, I take your orders." The man put his hand on his chest and bowed respectfully.
After intense discussions at the Ghost Tribe Congress, the Ghost King finally decided to send an advance envoy to question Qin.
Iles was a talented person in diplomacy and was familiar with some Central Plains languages. After accepting the order, he immediately selected some guards and several civilian officials to form an envoy group of about a hundred people.
The next day, the envoys set out from Yal Castle, and many people greeted them:
"Hi, Lord Iles."
"I heard that our border was invaded by the Central Plains people. You must vent your anger for us this time."
"Yes, we must ask Emperor Qin what he means and ask the Central Plains to compensate us for the gold and silver slaves!"
"Don't worry, I will fulfill His Majesty the King's instructions."
Iles patted his chest confidently.
In his heart, he didn't think that Emperor Qin dared to really launch a national war. It would be okay to take advantage of the border issues to question him and then ask for some benefits and compensation.
To be honest, the ghost tribe is used to invading the Central Plains, and it is difficult to change this deep-rooted mentality in a short period of time.
Well, how would Emperor Qin explain his sharp questioning?
Iles rode out of the city still thinking.
