Chapter 392: Establishing Friendship with All Nations
In the past few years, they were very cautious at sea, for fear of being wiped out by ships from some country.
However, this concern basically disappeared two years ago.
Because by chance, they got a forged certificate of credence!
This letter of credence can almost be mistaken for the real thing.
After having their credentials, they used the banner of Huns envoys to deceive and sail around the seas unscrupulously, and were even entertained by some Western countries.
Thinking of this, his subordinates quickly took out the credentials that had not been seen for a long time, and waved the flag to attract the Qin army's attention.
"Young Master, those Huns started waving flags, they seem to have something to say!"
Zhang Liang has been standing on the deck observing the situation.
I found that the other party was not only waving flags, but also several people were waving at them!
"Oh? Do you have something to say...?"
Xiao Zhengtai sneered: "Then play with them!"
Sailing is boring anyway, so these people might as well have some fun!
"Stop the boat first!"
Understanding Ying Feiyu's intention, Xin Sheng issued the order.
"The other side sent a small boat out!"
Han Xin reported the situation on the other side.
The Huns sat in the small boat and paddled hard towards them.
"Buck, why do I see that the Qin army's ships are made of steel?"
"You must be dazzled. If a sword is dropped into the water, it will sink. How can it cause a ship?"
There were six people in the boat, and the leader was a handsome young man with a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance, also known as Buck.
There is no other way, the boss Cangmu is tall and round, with a beard and many scars on his face.
If you pretend to be a Huns envoy, no one will believe you!
Besides, Buck is very smart and has learned the languages of many countries, so it is most suitable for him to come forward to communicate!
When the six people boarded the ship and were brought to the deck by the navy officers, Ying Feiyu was sitting on a carved chair with his legs crossed, with a playful look on his face.
Han Xin and Xin Sheng served on the left and right, very powerful!
"Bake, the envoy of the Huns, pays homage to General Qin!"
Although the envoy did not know Ying Feiyu's identity, seeing that the two armored generals were only qualified to stand on both sides, it must be that the identity of the child in the middle must not be simple.
Before you figure out your identity, you can’t go wrong with calling yourself General!
"Hongnu envoys? Are you envoys sent by the Huns?"
Little Shota, who was still absent-minded at first, suddenly sat upright and exclaimed in surprise.
Han Xin and Xin Sheng behind him were also stunned.
"Exactly!"
Buck, the handsome young man at the head, nodded pretending to be calm.
But I was very confused.
Is there anything wrong with them being envoys?
The Huns were adjacent to the Qin Dynasty, so wasn't it normal for them to send envoys on envoys?
But then I thought about it, the Xiongnu often invaded the borders of the Qin Dynasty when winter came, but the Qin Dynasty always tolerated it, obviously because it was afraid of them.
That’s why you’re so surprised!
"Since he is an envoy from the Huns, why are he here?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, Xiao Zhengtai suppressed his smile and asked seriously.
"Return to the general, we, the Xiongnu Chanyu, have sent us as envoys to other countries to establish friendship with them!"
Buck said after saluting.
"Build friendships with other countries? Did that include me, Great Qin?"
"That's natural!"
Buck nodded firmly.
As a result, everyone on the boat couldn't bear it anymore and burst into laughter.
"It is said that Great Qin is a country of etiquette, but why are you laughing suddenly? We are here for peace between the two countries. Is it possible that... Great Qin does not need peace?"
Buck grimaced, pretending to be angry.
"Hahaha! I am laughing so hard. When did you set out from the Huns?"
Little Shota sat on the chair, laughing until she burst into laughter.
"The Chan sent us as envoys a few months ago...!"
Buck raised his chin, pretended to be very arrogant, and continued: "I wonder why the general asked?"
"months ago?"
"Isn't your ship too slow? How many months did it take to get here? How long will it take to visit all the countries?"
"By the way, just a friendly reminder, there is no need to go to Chen Kingdom and Jizi Kingdom!"
Han Xin, Peng Yue, Xin Sheng and others sneered.
"Why is this?"
"Because Chen State and Jizi State have now been included in our Great Qin's territory!"
Xin Sheng smiled with a proud look on his face.
"What...? Has it been included in the territory of Great Qin? Could it be...?"
Buck was beyond shocked.
Two good countries were destroyed by the Qin Dynasty?
"General, why are you talking to these fake envoys? Just kill them!"
Fan Kuai couldn't bear his impatience anymore and pointed at Buck's nose.
"Fake? We have the credentials in hand. If the general doesn't believe it, you can open it and have a look!"
Buck took out the things he had prepared long ago from his arms.
Fan Kuai snatched it up, turned it over several times, and said angrily: "Damn it, what the hell is it written on? I can't even read the small seal script, let alone those gibbering things like you!"
The text above is written in the Xiongnu language, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Zhang Liang took it, looked at it for a long time, and smiled lightly, "It looks like the real thing!"
"Well, most people can't understand this kind of writing, and there's a seal stamped on it, so it can indeed be confused with the real thing!"
The letter of credence was passed to Ying Feiyu's hand, and he nodded after reading it.
"General, we are envoys sent by the Great Chanyu. Why do you think we are fake?"
Buck was very calm, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
This letter of credence has been deceived by many countries, and no one has ever questioned it!
Even if these Qin people had suspicions, it was impossible to get Yuna, the Great Chan of the Huns, to confirm it!
"Han Xin, tell him why we said they are fake!"
Xiao Zhengtai stepped on the chair with one calf, handed the forged credentials to Han Xin beside him, and sneered.
"I would like to hear why?"
Buck was very confident.
He believed that no one would be able to see the flaw in this letter of credence except when it was actually presented to the Grand Chanyu.
"You just seemed to say that it only took a few months to set off from the Huns?"
Han Xin took the letter of credence, looked at the crooked words on it, and raised his head with a sneer.
"Yes, it's true that we just set out a few months ago...!"
Buck nodded firmly and continued: "For the sake of friendship, the Great Chanyu specially sent us on a boat trip to go to the Western Regions and other places!"
The Huns were closest to the Qin Dynasty, so the fastest way was to go overland.
He thought that the reason why the Qin army said they were fake was because they chose to take the water route instead of the land route.
So I quickly explained that the reason why I took the boat was to make it easier to travel to the Western Regions and other places!
"According to my general opinion, you have not just set out for a few months, but you have not been back to the Huns for at least a year!"
Han Xin shook his head and smiled.
"These are just your guesses. You can't conclude that we are fake just based on your guesses! We are heading to Daqin to meet your Emperor. If we are delayed, I'm afraid you won't be able to offend us!"
