Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Fusu's voice fell, and there was a burst of discussion in the court.

They naturally knew who General Zhengxi was. After all, Ying Zheng was bestowed upon Wu Zhiluo in front of all civil and military officials.

As for Wu Zhiluo's responsibility, everyone present also knew that it was to open up the Silk Road for Daqin.

But the news of Wu Zhiluo's return hadn't spread widely, so they didn't know much about it.

What made everyone curious the most was the Peacock Empire, which came out of nowhere and dared to attack Daqin's caravan with an army of [-].

This is simply provoking the majesty of Daqin. I don't know what decision Yingzheng will make!
"The Peacock Empire?"

Hearing this news, Zhao Che straightened up instantly.

"My dear friends, how do you think this matter should be handled by the widow?"

Before Zhao Che could say anything, after Fusu finished speaking, Ying Zheng looked at the ministers below and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that the Peacock Empire dared to attack our Great Qin caravan. This is a provocation to the majesty of our Great Qin, and we must fight back. I suggest that Your Majesty directly send a large army to destroy the Laoshizi Peacock Empire. !"

The violent general stood up and said.

"No, since the Peacock Empire dares to call itself an empire, its strength must not be underestimated. Besides, we don't know much about them, so it's really inappropriate to send troops rashly!"

There were also calmer courtiers who stood up and analyzed a few words.

"Hmph, no one can stop my great Qin cavalry. The six countries that were so powerful back then were all wiped out by my great Qin. A mere Peacock Empire, a small country that doesn't know what kind of barbarian land it is, what is there to be afraid of?"

Facing the quarrel among the audience, Ying Zheng just looked at them indifferently.

After half a day, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Che.

"Che'er, what do you know about the Peacock Empire?"

After Ying Zheng's words fell, everyone turned their eyes to Zhao Che.

Zhao Che briefly recalled the records about the Peacock Empire in his mind.

The Peacock Empire was a huge empire in the same period as the Great Qin Empire.

Moreover, the Peacock Empire was comparable to the Great Qin Empire in terms of land area and population.

The Peacock Empire was also at the peak of the Great Qin Dynasty, and at the same time it reached its peak under the leadership of King Ashoka.

However, Ashoka only lived until 232 BC and has been dead for more than 20 years now.

After the death of King Ashoka, the Maurya Empire fell into a situation of splitting. The Maurya Empire, which had declined royal power, was divided into many countries again.

However, after all, the three generations of the Peacock Empire from the founding of the country to Ashoka's succession can be regarded as laying a lot of foundation for the Peacock Empire, so the military strength and background of the Peacock Empire are still good.

After tidying up his language a bit, Zhao Che began to popularize science with everyone.

"Father, in its heyday, the Peacock Empire was indeed not much weaker than our Great Qin Dynasty, but the current Peacock Empire is in the process of splitting up, the royal power is declining, and each is fighting against each other. It is not a threat to us."

"However, the military strength of the Peacock Empire should not be underestimated. At their peak, they had 60 cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] war elephants. In terms of numbers alone, they were enough to compete with Great Qin."

"The armies of the Peacock Empire are mainly infantry, cavalry, chariot soldiers, elephant soldiers, engineers, and supply soldiers. For us, the greatest threat to the Maurya Empire is the elephant soldiers!"

"Although the number of elephant soldiers in the Peacock Empire is not large, they are enough to be called their ace army. Their elephant soldiers are trained to capture wild elephants and use war elephants as the main means of attack. Once they charge , even my Great Qin's iron cavalry have to stay away."

……

After listening to Zhao Che's narration, everyone, including Ying Zheng, had a cloud of gloom on their faces.

"I really can't imagine that besides my Great Qin Empire, there is such a powerful empire in this world?"

"Fortunately, His Majesty did not agree to our request to send troops hastily. Otherwise, without knowing the true strength of the Peacock Empire, if we rashly send out a large army, I'm afraid we will suffer a disastrous defeat!"

"However, although the Peacock Empire is powerful, we can't let them challenge the majesty of our Great Qin Empire, right? The revenge of attacking and robbing our Great Qin Caravan must be avenged!"

……

Everyone talked a lot, but it was obviously not as impulsive as before.

According to Zhao Che's description, the military strength of the Peacock Empire did make them feel a little threatened.

"Cher, how do you think we should handle this matter?"

Ying Zheng pondered for a while, but decided to listen to Zhao Che's opinion.

After all, Zhao Che was the one who knew the Peacock Empire best among the people present.

"My lords, there is no need to worry. What I just said was only the combat power of the Peacock Empire at its peak. Now they have fallen into divisions and are fighting on their own. They can't achieve anything at all."

"Besides, although my Great Qin has no elephant soldiers, our Great Qin's army can form a crushing force against the Peacock Empire in terms of numbers and equipment. What's more, our Great Qin's army has now upgraded its military equipment several times. There is no need to pay attention to a mere Peacock Empire."

"However, I think we should make full preparations for the expedition to the Peacock Empire. After all, the biggest difficulty for us to conquer the Peacock Empire at present is mainly the route of conquest."

"Compared to General Zhengxi's return, he has basically talked about the situation in the Western Regions. There are deserts everywhere, and the weather and geography are extremely bad. Difficult things."

……

Fu Su stood up and responded.

"That's right. General Zhengxi has already reported the situation in the Western Regions after he came back. On the way to the Western Regions, a large part of their team died in the harsh desert."

However, Zhao Che and Fusu's answers somewhat dissatisfied Ying Zheng.

A mere Peacock Empire, although it sounds a little bluffing, but Daqin is not a vegetarian.

This time, the Peacock Empire took the initiative to provoke him. If he didn't take the opportunity to return, then Yingzheng would not be the first emperor of all ages to unify the six kingdoms.

"Che'er, the Peacock Empire provoked our Great Qin Dynasty first. This incident not only affected the opening of the Great Qin Silk Road, but also greatly damaged the prestige of our Great Qin Empire among the countries in the Western Regions, so this revenge It must be reported, I believe you have a solution!"
