It seems that the remaining prisoners of war must be squeezed out, otherwise all the prisoners of war will be exposed and the water conservancy project in Shangyang County will not be completed.

At noon, Imperial Study Room!

On the imperial case, there are three meats and two vegetables, and a pot of fine wine. Ying Chang was alone holding a jade bowl and holding a jade chopstick and eating and drinking. Although the national treasury is not rich, Ying Chang never treats his stomach unfairly. Faced with these delicacies, Ying Chang has never resisted.

Step...

A sound of light footsteps came, Ying Chang subconsciously looked up and saw Tang Hua stepping carefully. When Tang Hua walked to the front of the imperial desk three steps, he stopped and squatted with respect and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister and Shangshu Jia are waiting outside the hall!"

Ying Chang put down the jade bowl and jade chopsticks, picked up the wipes to wipe the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and then spoke, "Let them come in!"

Tang Hua nodded and understood, turned around and walked out of the hall. After a while, Jaro and Chang Zifei walked in with great strides.

"I am Chang Zifei (Jaro) to pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor!" Chang Zifei and Jaro bent down respectfully and bowed.

"Have you ever had lunch?" Ying Chang asked.

"Never!"

"Never!"

Chang Zifei and Jaro replied respectfully.

"Tang Hua, add two pieces of food utensils!" Ying Chang said to Tang Hua.

"As for your order!" Tang Hua nodded, then gave a look to the palace maid beside him, who nodded to understand.

After a while, the palace maid came over with a wooden plate, which contained two silver bowls and silver chopsticks. Chang Zifei and Jaro bent over and took the food utensils and came to the imperial case to enjoy the imperial meal together. They were not polite at all and regarded this place as their own home.

"How about it, the food in the palace is consistent with the tastes of the two dear ministers?"

"This taste should only be found in heaven. If you can eat a bite of imperial meal, you will have been blessed for eight lifetimes!"

"It's all about color, fragrance and taste, and it's worthy of being a royal meal!"

The three of them ate and drank together, talking and laughing, and the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of the Great Qin Empire was clear at a glance. The monarch and the ministers were harmonious, just like relatives. In this way, how could the Qin Dynasty not be strong?

After a while of eating and drinking, Ying Changming Tang Hua removed the food.

Ying Chang picked up the wipes and wiped the corners of his mouth again. After wiping, he looked at Jaro and said, "What's the situation in the Qiang people now?"

Jaro and Chang Zifei took three steps back and kept a distance from Ying Chang. Then Jaro bent down with a solemn expression and replied: "Your Majesty, the Kama tribe is content with our great Qin iron tools, and its strength has increased greatly. It took two years to finally destroy the White Wolf Tribe, the overlord of the southern grassland, and occupied the entire territory of the Tomuqi grassland in the south. Now the Kama tribe has occupied two major grasslands and is the strongest overlord of the Qiang tribe who deserves!"

"The Kama tribe has achieved unprecedented strength, which has made the two prairie overlords in the west and the north afraid of it. The two prairie overlords in the west have formed an alliance to jointly resist the Kama tribe. Even if one fights two, the Kama tribe has the upper hand. According to my calculations, the Kama tribe can destroy the west and the northern overlords in just two years, and complete the great cause of Qiang unification!"

After hearing these words, Ying Chang and Chang Zifei fell silent, and their expressions involuntarily appeared solemn.

"When the Qiang tribe is unified, it will build a country and covet Jiuzhou. At that time, the Qiang tribe will attack Qin Qi. Whether the Qiang tribe attacks Qin or Qi, it will be greatly detrimental to our Great Qin. First, Qin Qi signed an alliance to be an allied country. The alliance agreement is clear. If Qi requests support, Qin will rush to support unconditionally. Although our Great Qin can tear up the alliance, with our current strength, it is not enough to support us to break the contract!"

"Second, the Qiang tribe holds our handle in their hands. If they attack Qi, they will definitely use this to threaten our Qin Dynasty and force us not to send troops. Whether it is one or two, our Qin Dynasty will fall into a passive position. At that time, our great situation will disappear like a bubble!" Ying Chang said with a hint of solemn expression.

"Your Majesty said very well, so we must suppress the development speed of the Kama tribe and never allow the Qiang tribe to be unified!" Chang Zifei frowned, and his face looked worried.

"But how do we suppress the Kama tribe? Stop exporting iron tools? Or secretly transporting iron tools to the overlords of the two northwest grasslands?" Jaro said helplessly.

Whether it is the former or the latter, it is not feasible. If you choose the former, the Qiang tribe will inevitably release the news that the Qin Empire colluded with the Kama tribe and lead the troops of Jiuzhou to attack Qin. If you choose the latter, it is even more impossible. The Qin only borders the Kama tribe and cannot be transported at all. Moreover, the Kama tribe is not blind. When he saw the enemy on the opposite side, he guessed it all at once.

"Does Jia Aiqing know the population and strength of the Kama tribe?" Ying Chang looked at Jaro with a solemn face and asked.

Jaro fell into a brief silence. After thinking about it, he replied: "Two years ago, the population of the Kama tribe was about 50,000 to 60,000. In addition, the population of the large and small tribes on the Malfur prairie was about 130,000. The Qiang men were all soldiers, and the Kama tribe should have 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry."

"The Kama tribe has been fighting for two consecutive years and annexed the White Wolf tribe. The population and force have increased instead of decreasing, but the Kama tribe cannot rise anyway. The population should be around 180,000, and the force should be between 80,000 or 90,000!"

After hearing these words, Ying Chang couldn't help but remain silent. After a while, he asked in a deep voice: "If I send troops to destroy Qiang, will I have a chance of winning?"

Chang Zifei and Jaro looked at each other, and they could see the look of horror flashing in each other's eyes.

Send troops to destroy Qiang, what a big tone!

The Qiang people have existed for more than 800 years. In more than 800 years, many Jiuzhou empires have sent troops to attack Qiang, but they all ended in failure. As a result, in the past three hundred years, no country has dared to send troops to attack Qiang, and they are passive defenses.

Nothing else, the Qiang tribe's craftsmanship is really superb. The Qiang tribe never attacks head-on when dealing with the Jiuzhou army. They always choose to pull kites. What is the kites? The kites are the tactics. He deliberately leads you to chase him, and then he runs and shoots arrows. You chase and get caught. There are two final results, but you have no choice but to withdraw the troops or eliminate them all.

The only way to deal with the Qiang tribe is to train a cavalry that is more elite than the Qiang cavalry. It depends on who has the best storm skills. However, the countries of the Jiuzhou are all farming countries. No matter how much they train, they cannot compare to the Qiang tribe who grew up on horseback.

No solution!

"Your Majesty, it's not that I am rude to myself, nor that I am the minister who is the master of others to destroy my power. With the current national strength of our Great Qin, there is no chance of defeating the Qiang. Not to mention our Great Qin, even if the Great Wei Empire sends troops to attack the Qiang, there is still a possibility of defeating the war. It's not that the Qiang is too strong, but that I Great Qin does not have the right people and geographical advantages!" Chang Zifei replied helplessly.
