I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 263 Luntai Kingdom

Shen Lian's voice fell.

Zhao Tuo on the side suddenly changed his face.

He understood that this was Ying Zheng's temptation to him.

For a moment, his heart was full of regrets, but unfortunately the only thing that didn't exist in this world was regret medicine.

At this moment, no matter how regretful he is, he has nothing to do, because at this moment he has already revealed his true thoughts, under such circumstances.

He must be, and it is not only him who must die, but even the generals who follow him.

And his family members, including the families of these generals, will all die without a place to bury them.

A thought here.

Zhao Tuo regretted it in his heart.

Unfortunately, no matter how regretful.

He has nothing to do...

When Zhao Tuo was successfully captured.

Then Shen Lian personally escorted them to Xianyang City.

Located in the vast desert of the Western Regions, the [-] army led by Li Xin finally reached the border of a small country in the Western Regions.

The place where Li Xin arrived was called Luntai Kingdom.

Luntai Kingdom is a small country, but it can be regarded as an overlord in the Western Regions.

In the past, this small country had conquered many countries in the Western Regions.

Oppressed many countries.

But in the moment.

Facing the invincible army of the Great Qin Empire.

This small country in the Western Regions is Luntai.

Perhaps the national strength is slightly stronger in the Western Regions.

At this moment, when Li Xin led the army to the vicinity of Luntai country and asked the tire country to provide food and grass, the king of this small country was falling into hesitation at the moment.

"The State of Qin asked us to provide 20 kilograms of grain for their army. What do you think?"

The voice of the king of Luntai Kingdom resounded through the court, and the ministers of Luntai Kingdom above the court frowned slightly.

For such a small country, 20 kilograms of grain is already a large number.

So much grain.

For Luntai Country.

They are offered willingly and unwillingly, naturally.

In such a situation at this moment.

After the king's voice came down, the ministers all opened their mouths to speak.

"King, the people of Qin State have asked for so much food. If we provide them with so much food, we will definitely have to save money this year, so in my opinion, we should not give them at all!"

"If you don't give them food, it's a direct excuse. We don't have any food. They ask other countries for 20 catties of grain, but they ask us for [-] catties. We absolutely can't pay that much!"

"But if you don't give so much food, what will the people of Qin do if they get angry?"

The king frowned and opened his mouth to speak.

After hearing this.

For a while, the minister above the court.

Can't help frowning.

At this time, a minister stood up with a smile.

"There is no need to worry about this. Our country is powerful with more than 2000 soldiers. It is considered rich and powerful in the Western Regions. Judging from the troops that the Qin people can provide, they can only send [-] troops here at one time. Although the number is still less than We need more troops!”

"But we can use all the people as soldiers, and then recruit civilians to fight. In this way, our army will be equal to the number of people in the country."

"When the numbers are equal, we have city walls to rely on, and we have terrain to rely on, and the army of the Qin people traveled long distances to arrive here, without food and fresh water. In this way, how can they attack us in turn? ah?"

"So, in my opinion, we don't need to be afraid of Qin people at all. Back then, the Dawan Kingdom killed Qin's envoy and hung the Qin's envoy on the city wall. Today, Qin people have nothing to do with the Great Kingdom. Any punishment? Why should our Luntai nation be afraid of them?"

"But my son..."

The king frowned.

his son.

Now he is being held as a hostage in Xianyang City.

It's inevitable now.

The king would frown.

After hearing this, the ministers looked calm and opened their mouths.

"Your honorable king, it's nothing more than a prince, but you have more than a dozen princes..."

Well, a prince isn't much to a big shot.

Because like them, with their status, it is impossible for them to.

It is impossible to care about a son.

Because of the women around them.

There are too many, so many children can be born.

In this situation.

Naturally.

Neither the king nor the ministers cared about such a child as a hostage.

After hearing what the ministers said at this moment.

For a moment, the king couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Then he opened his mouth and said.

"That's true. Compared with 20 catties of grain, that child is really not that important. What's more, we can't agree to the unreasonable demands of the people of Qin. If they ask for 20 catties of grain this time, they may ask for 30 catties next time." Thousands of catties of grain, we must be prepared..."

The voice of the king of Luntai Kingdom fell.

a time.

All the ministers nodded.

In this situation.

They naturally rejected Qin's request.

when the envoy returns.

Li Xin and them outside the city.

The moment he realized that the messenger did not bring back food.

All of a sudden, his expression changed.

I only saw Li Xin showing displeasure on his face.

Then he asked the messenger.

"Where is the grain sent by the king of Luntai Kingdom? Where is the grain he sent? Where did he put Master Liang? When did he send it?"

As a messenger, the officer sent to the city explained with a wry smile.

"My lord general, the king of the Luntai Kingdom is not willing to be rebellious. He is willing to provide food and grass for my Daqin!"

"what?"

After hearing this, Li Xin frowned.

He never imagined it.

Unexpectedly, this Luntai would dare to refuse the Qin Empire's request.

To know.

Passing through more than a dozen countries in the Western Regions.

Li Xin had never encountered such treatment.

Never have all the small nations arrived facing their armies.

All honestly.

Hand in the food.

And they are all delivered in sufficient quantity and quality.

now.

Li Xin's face was filled with anger.

He frowned and couldn't help muttering.

"Who gave this king the confidence to refuse my Daqin's request? Could it be that he thinks that I dare not deal with him?"

"Yes, we must teach him a certain lesson, otherwise no one will be willing to provide us with food in the future!"

After hearing this, the officers on the side nodded one after another.

In fact, they didn't lack food and compressed biscuits along the way, and the beef jerky was enough for them to eat.

But the problem is to be prepared.

In addition, eating those compressed biscuits all the time is really a big burden on the stomach.

So along the way, they will temporarily collect food.

When passing through a small country, according to the population of the country, strive for a certain amount of food.

The quantities are all within the acceptable range.
