Chapter 191 takes time
"Father, with the strength of our Great Qin, it is no problem to attack the Huns, but my son also recommends not to be impulsive first..."
The morning court was over, and at lunch, Ying Zheng called Xiao Zheng over again and asked him to tell him what he thought.
After all, there are many ministers in the court, so some words may not be easy to say!
"Why is this?"
Ying Zheng's hand was slightly stuck and he asked in confusion.
Seeing that this kid's attitude in the court was obviously an advocate for fighting, he said he should not be impulsive, which really made him confused!
"Father, although the cannon will be developed successfully soon, it will definitely not work with just one. After the test is passed, the production volume will begin to increase. This will take time. Before this, try not to cause war. Only when the cannons are fully produced can you take down the Huns with minimal casualties!"
Xiao Zhengta said seriously, holding the chopsticks.
When the two countries are at war, if the Qin Dynasty gathers the national troops, it will not be impossible to take down the Huns, but the cost of doing so is too high.
Since the artillery is about to be developed successfully, why not bear it for a few days and wait until the thermal weapons are almost produced before advancing towards the Huns!
The power of the ground bud has been shown in the Battle of Lingnan. Now it has been improved, the power of the ground bud is even greater than before!
With the addition of cannons, he will definitely take down the Huns with the least casualties. This is what he wants to see!
After hearing his words, Ying Zheng nodded in agreement and then said, "These Xiongnu envoys have been rejected by me. If they are allowed to go back, they will arrive at the Xiongnu within half a month. If they intend to start a war, the Qin Dynasty will still have to deal with it!"
"It is not easy to produce a cannon, and it may not be possible in half a month!" Xiao Zhengtai shook her head.
"If the envoys are killed directly, the meticulous works hidden in Xianyang City will also spread the news. What should I do?"
Li Si and others were right. The huge Xianyang City must be hidden in the detailed works of various countries.
The Hun envoys came to Xianyang in a mighty way, which must have attracted their attention. If they suddenly disappeared, those detailed works would also send news back to the Huns, and the war would be launched earlier!
These envoys are neither killed nor released, which is really a big deal!
"Since you can't kill or release them, then let's leave them in Xianyang City first and then you'll get married?"
As if he saw his embarrassment, Xiao Zhengtai smiled relaxedly.
"Stay in Xianyang City? How to stay? We rejected the request from the Huns, and I'm afraid they will report to leave in the next two days!"
Ying Zheng frowned and felt a little embarrassed.
"This is not simple? In a few days it will be the birthday of the son minister. Wouldn't the father have to hold a banquet for the son minister? Then I will send invitations to those envoys, and they will definitely not refute the father's face!"
"Your birthday? Do I remember your birthday was not in autumn?"
Ying Zheng was puzzled and even suspected that he had remembered it wrong.
"Father, when does the birthday of the son minister do not matter, what is important is the excuse to delay their time!"
Xiao Zhengta shook her head helplessly.
Can't this old guy turn his mind around?
"Hmm? You guy...haha..."
Seeing Xiao Zhengtai's helpless look, Ying Zheng immediately understood.
Yes, what they miss now is an excuse. As for who celebrates his birthday and when to celebrate his birthday, it doesn’t matter at all!
As long as it can delay time, it can give the arsenal enough time to produce cannons!
"I will send someone to the official office to pass on the message. The young master will come to the banquet for his birthday in five days!"
"Um!"
Xiao Zhengta nodded, swung his chopsticks, picked up his favorite cuisine and started eating it beautifully.
...
"The Emperor of Central Plains was moody and said he wanted to pull us out and chop us up. Now he wants to invite us to a banquet five days later?"
Upon receiving the news, the six envoys gathered in the same room and muttered quietly.
There are people from the court everywhere here, and even the waiter who serves tea and water may leak the news, so they are extremely careful.
The soldiers they brought were also arranged to guard the door!
"They didn't agree to our request. They asked me to tell me that we would just leave. If we dare to stop us, we would just go out!"
One of the envoys was a general from the Huns, named Gus, who was strong and reckless.
"No, this is Xianyang, the territory of the Qin Dynasty. If we rush out rashly, we will inevitably be blocked. With our hundreds of people, it is absolutely impossible to resist the garrison in Xianyang!"
The civil minister Harry immediately shook his head and rejected his impulsive idea.
It would be fine if they were killed in the court just now, but their Khan could just attack the Central Plains with the envoy being killed.
But if they fled and were killed without permission, they deserved it. I may not be able to bite back and falsely accused them of doing something dirty in the Qin Dynasty.
"Can we really go to the appointment?"
The general seemed a little impatient, put his hands on his hips and said anxiously.
"Yes, who knows if they will do anything at the banquet?"
Another envoy said with concern.
"No, if the Emperor of Qin wants to kill us, there are many opportunities to attack, so there is no need to make excuses. Besides, I heard that the young man is the emperor's favorite prince, and he will not kill us on his birthday!"
"The young master's birthday is coming, all officials gather together. Maybe we can fight for the tasks given to us by Shanyu!"
Harry sat on the chair inside the room, thought for a while, and spoke.
After the development of the past six months, almost every household in Daqin has changed the habit of sitting on the ground and used a chair!
If you are a little poor, you can build a few wooden stools!
What is most lacking in this era is wood. There are too many thick trees that one person can’t hold on the mountain, so you can cut them down at will!
Even if the creations of ordinary people are not as exquisite as carpenters, it is enough to use them at home!
"According to the attitude of the Central Plains emperor today, I have no chance to see it!"
Gus shook his head.
"So I said we should fight for it. In the time being, we can coerce and induce it to see if we can achieve our goals. Even if we only achieve one of them, it will have endless benefits for us, the Huns!"
The land of the Huns was barren and the climate was cold, so they were not suitable for farming.
But the aquatic plants are plump and are especially suitable for grazing!
Therefore, the Huns were not short of cattle, sheep and horses, but food was short of food. If they could trade with each other, they could use cattle and sheep to replace the food in the Central Plains at any time to solve the problem of food and clothing for the Huns.
If Ying Zheng could marry the princess to their Great Chanyu, the benefits would be even more!
Not only can it stabilize the position of the Shanyu in the Huns, but it can also make the Donghu and Yuezhi afraid!
"Okay, then we will fight for it at the banquet, so it's easy to explain when we meet Shanyu!"
