Chapter 143 Your Majesty, your wish has come true!

"Pu Wei, you haven't understood a single problem from beginning to end!"

"That is, it is not the Great Qin that needs your Yueshi's surrender now!"

"But if you Da Yuezhi don't want to be wiped out within a year, then you need Da Qin's protection!"

Cui Yuan's voice was like thunder, shocking everyone!
In just an instant, all the civil and military officials in the entire hall were shocked.

No one expected that Cui Yuan would speak the threat so directly and openly, without leaving any room for himself or Da Qin!
But after being surprised, Li Si, Feng Quji and others felt their blood boiling again!

Isn't what Cui Yuan said the deepest wish they have always had?

Over the years, there was not only one Xiongnu who looted the borders of Daqin, but Dayuezhi and Donghu were also accomplices.

Although due to geographical relationship, the destructive power of a single country is not as good as that of the Huns.

But if the two countries were combined, they would be able to escape the Xiongnu by several streets, and their hands would be full of the blood of the Chinese people.

Ever since the Yueshi envoy arrived and publicly expressed their desire to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, more and more ministers have been protesting, saying that blood debts must be paid with blood.

At the beginning, conflicts arose frequently in the Qin Dynasty. They, the aliens from the grasslands, went south to plunder and harm the people, showing no humanity.

Now that the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty has subsided, these grasslands want to escape the revenge of the Qin Dynasty by surrendering. How absurd is this?
Not to mention that they were still hesitant about surrendering. Not only were they asking some ridiculous questions to test the reality of Da Qin and the true identity of Cui Shenxian, but they also wanted to use Da Qin's power to help them control the grassland.

It can be said that Da Yueshi just wants to take advantage of all the benefits!
What kind of surrender is this? He is basically here to be a master.

But after all, this is related to the friendship between the two countries, and Puwei's etiquette is also in place and his attitude is respectful.

Therefore, although Li Si and Feng Quji had similar thoughts, they had been suppressing the voices of the officials.

But now, there is finally no need to suppress it!

"Cui Shenxian said it well! This is how our Great Qin should be!"

"Bullshit Da Yueshi! I, Da Qin, don't need your surrender at all!"

"It is your honor to surrender and let you become the dogs of Great Qin. If you don't surrender, then just wait for my cavalry of Great Qin to flatten your lands!"

The civil and military officials were excited, and the emotions that had been suppressed for so many days finally broke out!

As a celestial country, they don't need to make concessions to a small grassland country!
Xiang Yu was also among the crowd. Since he assisted Wang Bi in successfully capturing Touman Chanyu alive and annihilating the Xiongnu, he was rewarded for his merits and was made a Marquis of Guannei and was titled the champion.

Da Qin’s own champion!

Although he couldn't bring weapons to court, the cold look in his eyes still made Pu Wei feel frightened, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast!
"Come here, take the Da Yueshi envoy down!"

"Let them get out of Xianyang City tonight!"

Ying Zheng was very cooperative. When he saw the angry people, he immediately issued an order to expel the guests without any room for maneuver: "Immediately execute!"

"Your Majesty...ah!"

Poor Pu Wei didn't even have a chance to say a word to refute, before the guards grabbed his throat and dragged him out of the side hall without being able to say a word.

He could only stare blankly at Cui Yuan who was gradually moving away from his sight. Looking at the sneer on the corner of the young man's mouth, he had a very bad feeling in his heart.

Although he was panicking just now, deep down in his heart he still didn't trust Cui Yuan's words.

The Qin Dynasty was indeed very powerful and could even destroy the Xiongnu within half a year.

However, after such a war, the country of Great Qin must be extremely empty. In addition, there are rumors that an unprecedented cold disaster broke out in Great Qin at the beginning of this year.

Under such circumstances, how could Great Qin be able to break through the alliance between Dayue clan and Dong Hu within one year?
But now, he suddenly felt that if the Da Yuezhi really did not surrender, it would really be possible for the country to be destroyed within a year!

This feeling is very strange, but it lingers!
……

The reception ceremony in the side hall ended with a result that satisfied all the people of Great Qin.

After telling Pu Wei and others to get out, Ying Zheng immediately thanked Cui Yuan for calling him to the imperial study room. Li Si and others were also present.

"Cui Yuan, it's really thanks to you this time."

Ying Zheng smiled and thanked him, very sincerely.

If Cui Yuan hadn't stepped forward at the last moment and made the final say on Great Qin's attitude, then Pu Wei and other Da Yuezhi envoys would have been jumping up and down for a long time.

After all, not everyone has the courage and status to dare to directly turn against Puwei and declare war on Da Yueshi.

Ying Zheng can, but he is the First Emperor, and arguing with an envoy will only degrade his status.

Only Cui Yuan, who didn't care about anything, could point Pu Wei in front of him and scold him, and threaten to destroy Dayuezhi if he didn't surrender within a year.

"Unfortunately, with the current situation of Great Qin, it is impossible to really destroy the Da Yueshi within one year."

Ying Zheng said regretfully: "But it doesn't matter. I am only in my early fifties now, and the days ahead are still long. I will definitely have the opportunity to destroy the Da Yueshi in a few years."

"I just want to wrong you Cui Yuan for a while. When the one-year period is over, Da Yueshi will definitely use this matter to attack your reputation."

"I can only help you clear your name after Da Yuezhi is destroyed later."

Li Si and other officials also nodded and saluted Cui Yuan to express their respect.

Cui Yuan's speech just now is undoubtedly to relieve anger, but it is also unrealistic.

If Da Yueshi is said to be destroyed within five years, judging from Da Qin's current strength, then it is definitely a sure thing.

But if it is said to be within a year, then it is pure fantasy.

However, relieving qi is relieving qi!

"What do you mean?"

Cui Yuan scratched his head and smiled at everyone's doubtful gazes: "Did you all think I was lying just now? It was just a joke to destroy the Donghu and Dayue clan within one year and unify the grassland?"

"No way? Do you think I am a villain who doesn't mean what I say?"

"It's so sad, so sad."

After saying that, the young man sighed with great disappointment, as if his heart was severely hurt.

When Ying Zheng, Li Si, Feng Quji and others saw this, they were all stunned immediately!
Cui Yuan What is this?
Is it...

"Cui Yuan, weren't you joking just now?"

Li Si spoke in disbelief: "Are you really planning to wipe out the Donghu and Dayue clan in one year and unify the grassland?"

Cui Yuan said directly without thinking: "Of course! Otherwise, why would I say it?"

Bang!
The young man's words were shocking and made everyone completely stunned!

He turned out to be really serious!

"Cui Shenxian, although this may be inappropriate, I still want to say it."

Feng Quji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said bravely: "That's the situation in Da Qin now. It really can't support a large-scale war!"

"In other words, our Great Qin's treasury has been extremely tight in the past few years."

"The reason why we were able to attack the Huns last year was because we directly took out all the grain stored in Aocang in Xingyang, and also forced the powerful people in the pass to donate grain through the stone record." "But although there is a lot of grain, after half a year of war against the Huns, , and last year’s cold disaster, they have all been almost consumed.”

"As for the sweet potatoes, although a batch has matured, most of them still have to be used as seed crops for promotion and to prepare for new natural disasters. There is really no leftover!"

What he said was very sincere and realistic, and he wanted to use these reasons to persuade Cui Yuan to give up the idea of ​​​​exterminating the Da Yueshi within a year.

However, Cui Yuan greeted him with a contemptuous eye roll.

"Prime Minister Feng, why are you talking to me with such meaningless nonsense?"

"I am the governor of Great Qin, don't I know what is going on with Great Qin's treasury?"

"Moreover, we have just wiped out a large Yuezhi. Why use a large army? Just send a thousand or hundreds of people. How much food can these people consume?"

Is it enough to just send a thousand or a few hundred people?

Everyone was dumbfounded again!
"Cui Yuan, have you not slept recently? Why are you talking so stupidly?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help complaining: "With this few people, you want them to go to the grassland to destroy Da Yuezhi and Donghu? Even being a missionary is not enough!"

He wasn't kidding at all.

The grassland has been a place of chaos since ancient times. Not only did they often go south to plunder the Qin Dynasty, but the various tribes within also often fought for resources.

If Great Qin wanted to send an envoy to visit Da Yuezhi safely, the escort team alone would require more than 1000 people!
And now, Cui Yuan actually said that he would use these people to destroy two countries! ?

"Your Majesty, this is because your situation is too small."

Cui Yuan didn't have any intention of wavering. He still smiled and said, "And have you forgotten that wish you had?"

"It will be perfect soon!"

Cui Yuan means a lot.

Ying Zheng stared, wish?What wish?
When did I make a wish?
Before he could ask more questions, Cui Yuan said goodbye while saying: "The time is not yet ripe, but it will be soon."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li, and Prime Minister Feng, please prepare for the expedition first and prepare an army of a thousand men."

"In a month at most, I will take them out to the grassland to destroy the Da Yueshi!"

After that, Cui Yuan left happily, leaving only Ying Zheng and others standing there and staring.

Li Si looked at Feng Quji: Old Feng, what should we do now?Do you want to do what Cui Yuan said?
Feng Quji shook his head: Don't ask me, I know your size!

"okay!"

Ying Zheng patted the two of them on the back and said angrily: "You guys, please stop flirting with me here."

"Go back and prepare for my expedition!"

"Since Cui Yuan is so confident, then this time I will obey his arrangements!"

Although he couldn't understand it, Cui Yuan had never let him down, and this time would definitely be no exception.

"only!"

"only!"

Li Si and Feng Quji quickly agreed, feeling relieved in their hearts.

Now that His Majesty has spoken, they will not only be held accountable afterwards.

I just don’t know what’s going on in Cui Yuan’s gourd.

……

Time passed day by day, and soon more than half a month passed. There was no news after Cui Yuan returned to Liucun Fort. On the other side, Puwei and the Dayuezhi envoy rushed back to Dayuezhi from Daqin.

"Meet the king!"

Pu Wei bowed respectfully, and in front of him was a sturdy man in his 30s dressed in traditional prairie clothing, holding a volume of Daqin Law in his hand and reading it carefully.

Pu Wei didn't hear the response and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He could only half-bend and tell all the things that happened during his trip to Daqin.

"Yes, you are indeed a loyal and loyal minister, and you did not lie."

"Your story is similar to the news I got."

"In this case, I won't make things difficult for you. You can find the clan leader later and ask him to help cut off your tongue and ears."

King Dayuezhi put down the bamboo scroll and spoke calmly, as if explaining his family affairs, which made Pu Wei's bent figure tremble even more.

There is no doubt that if he had concealed anything just now, he would probably be executed directly now, instead of simply cutting off his tongue and ears.

Like the Xiongnu, there were constant disputes within the Da Yuezhi, especially among the five major tribes.

Kushan wants to become more powerful and completely become the royal family of Dayue clan, while the other four tribes want to replace Kushan.

The current king of Dayuezhi came to the throne by stepping on the previous kings of other tribes.

The new king killing the old king is a consistent tradition inherited by the prairie kings.

Moreover, the reason why King Yuezhi likes to read the laws of Qin is not because he wants to establish some order, but because he is very interested in the torture recorded there!

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for sparing your life!"

Puwei did not dare to feel the slightest resentment, and directly knelt down to thank King Yuezhi for his great kindness.

"Go back."

King Yuezhi waved his hand as if discarding a piece of trash that was interfering with his reading.

Pu Wei did not dare to hesitate at all, and left the royal court tremblingly, crying and went to the clan leader to be tortured.

It wasn't until Pu Wei walked far away that the Yuezhi King slowly put down the laws of Qin and looked at the herds outside the window with a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Cui Yuan, Gu originally just wanted to know more about you, but in the end you wanted to destroy Gu's Da Yuezhi within a year, right?"

"Since you were unkind in the first place, don't blame Gu Buyi."

"Early death, early birth system, unprecedented flooding of the Yellow River, as long as I can take this opportunity to kill you, I can become the true king of this grassland."

He is very confident, not only because of his confidence in his own strength, but also because he has been guided by the "God of the Prairie" - the early death and early rebirth system!
Although the name of this god was a bit weird and completely inexplicable, it told him a crucial message.

That is, at the beginning of next year, after the snow melts in early spring, a super flood will erupt in the Yellow River, one of the two major rivers in the Central Plains, affecting several counties and causing millions of casualties!
If the Dayeshi took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains at that time, not only would they be able to cross the Great Wall, but they would also have the slightest chance of directly attacking Xianyang and dominating the world!

Of course, getting this news is not without conditions.

That means King Yuezhi must completely kill Cui Yuan within five years!
If you fail to do so, you will be punished with cruel thunder.

Therefore, he sent Pu Wei to Da Qin and secretly arranged spies, just to see what this Qin man who was so hated by the gods was capable of.

"Cui Yuan, you are indeed extraordinary, with insights from after 2000."

King Dayue sneered: "But in the final analysis, you are just an ordinary person who is mortal!"
