"Harry, what should we do now? For a banquet, not only will we stay in Xianyang for half a month longer, but we will also catch up with three tribes. Shan Yu will have to skin us after we return!"

After watching the artillery, returning to the official post in Xianyang City, Gus paced back and forth in the room impatiently, saying anxiously.

That guy is such a thief, even if a verbal agreement is not enough, he actually made them write a written agreement!

That old guy Ying Zheng will have to ask for it from their Shanyu!

Even if they were the emperor, they would never let go of such a good thing that could increase their territory!

"What else can I do? As I just said at the banquet, if you want to save your life, you can only find an excuse and say that Da Qin forced me to sign the contract. Even if I die, I can't admit that I lost the bet.

Tribe, unless you want your whole family to suffer!"

Harry raised his head and poured the tea in the cup into his stomach.

"If you say that, wouldn't it provoke a war between the two countries?"

Gus stopped, thought for a moment, and said with a solemn expression.

They had always talked about the Huns' cavalry before, but now after seeing the power of artillery, what did their cavalry mean?

They were destroyed in just a few shots!

The purpose of their visit this time was to take advantage of the drought that Da Qin had just suffered, but they didn't expect that they would be involved in it!

"Hmph! Do you think that if we don't say this, the two countries will not go to war? Do you think that the emperor who can unify the six countries is so easy to bully? If you fail to ask for it, you will definitely use a large army to suppress the border, and war will begin sooner or later.

matter!"

Harry had thought about these things several times on the carriage ride back and forth.

Apart from cheating, there really is no other feasible way!

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Anyway, the Qin Dynasty will come to ask for the city sooner or later, so why not we take a preemptive strike and file a complaint to Shan Yu when we get back, saying that the Qin Dynasty bullied us and forced us to sign the contract!"

"But...but everyone has seen the power of their artillery. If they fight, we won't be able to take advantage!"

Another envoy frowned and said worriedly.

"Yes, we really stole the chicken but lost the rice this time. We didn't take advantage of it at all, and we even let the old guy Ying Zheng scheme to join three tribes!"

The other envoys were all downcast and unable to cheer up.

If they had not seen the power of artillery, they could still stand up and support this war.

Even if the Xiongnu couldn't win a complete victory, they could still get a piece of meat from the rich land of Da Qin!

But now, they really have no confidence at all!

They always say in front of others that they have millions of cavalry, but they know very well that this is just bragging.

In fact, there are only more than 300,000 cavalry, plus more than 200,000 infantry!

"You just saw the power of the artillery, didn't you realize that it is very bulky and difficult to move?"

Harry squinted his eyes and reminded softly.

"That's true!"

The envoys recalled and nodded.

That heavy iron lump, pushed by more than a dozen people, could only move forward slowly!

"Artillery is very powerful, and it is indeed a sharp weapon when used to attack cities. However, most of our Huns live in grasslands and mostly have cavalry. Facing such heavy artillery, we still have a good chance of winning...!"

Harry continued to do the big guys' ideological work, "We don't have a fixed city. Most of us live as nomads. It's not easy for their artillery to attack!"

"Well, what Harry said makes sense!"

Gus sat on a chair, stroking the thick stubble on his face, and nodded in agreement.

The Xiongnu were good at fighting guerrilla warfare. If Da Qin really sent out artillery, they would just have to fight guerrilla warfare well!

"Harry, tell me, what should we do to save this life? We all listen to you!"

Too many things happened in one day, and the other envoys' brains seemed to be blocked by paste at this time, and they could not think normally at all, so they could only rely on Harry.

"It's still what I said before. We need to have a unified voice. We can't admit that we lost the bet. When the time comes, Shan Yu can only blame us for not doing things well and just give us a little punishment. He will never lose his head!"

Harry sat up straight and explained the method to everyone in a clear-headed manner.

"Okay, then let's do this!"

Everyone nodded and agreed on the same tone.

"I don't know what the Emperor of Qin was thinking, why he had to keep us in Xianyang for half a month!"

Gus kicked the table in the room with some irritation, and the teacups on it began to shake slightly.

"I don't know this, and I can't guess their purpose. If they mean to start a war, they definitely won't be so polite to us. We should have taken action as early as when we first arrived in Daqin!"

Harry's face was also full of question marks, and he hadn't figured it out until now.

"Who says it's not the case? It can't be that they are so hospitable and sincerely invite us to be guests in Xianyang, right?"

"You think so, there are several pairs of eyes watching our every move, and there are guards from Great Qin following us when we go out. Could this be the way Great Qin treats guests?"

"But no, we are not allowed to bring soldiers with us when we go out, as if we are afraid that we will run away, so we have to leave a few people here to suppress us!"

…

Speaking of this, the envoys started to complain one after another.

"These are all trivial matters. As soon as the half-month period comes, the Emperor of Qin will have no excuse to keep us...!"

Compared with the major national affairs and how to save his own head, Harry really didn't want to waste his brain on such a trivial matter. "The first thing now is to write a letter and send it to Shan Yu to report the situation here!"

"

"We are now, at best, envoys, living in this official post. At worst, it is no different from house arrest. Those soldiers of the Qin Dynasty will definitely not let our soldiers send letters out!"

Thinking of this, Gus became even more angry and slapped the table.

"Don't we have a lot of informants in Xianyang? You can ask them to deliver messages!"

"Yes, yes, before departure, Shanyu specially told us the location of his spy, so that we can have more helpers when we are in trouble. Isn't now the time?"

"Well, the informants have been in Da Qin for many years. It shouldn't be a big problem to hand over the letters to them and take them out of the city...!"

The other envoys expressed their opinions and helped Harry find a solution.

"It won't work. Everyone we meet in Da Qin will be reported to the Emperor of Da Qin. When we leave, that person will be under strict supervision. Not only will the letter not be sent out, but if it is not kept intact, the informants who have been cultivated for many years will have to be replaced.

Get in!"

Harry shook his head, disapproving of this.

"Then what should we do? We can't not send any news back, right?"

Several envoys were a little impatient.
Chapter completed!
