Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 198 The Prisoner's Dilemma
Chen Yu and his wife have been taken into two rooms respectively.

Although the ancients did not know the principle of the prisoner's dilemma, Fan Zeng knew how to use the prisoner's dilemma to interrogate prisoners.

Fan Zeng first stepped into his wife's room and interrogated, "You have been farming for generations, why doesn't the government hear from you?"

The wife replied: "Maybe it's the baptism of war!"

Fan Zeng pressed on step by step: "Chendi took the initiative to surrender, and the county government records have not been destroyed, how can there be a baptism of war?"

The wife shook her head one after another, saying that she was just a grassroots citizen and didn't know how the county government would deal with her native place status. Her guilty conscience prevented her from looking directly into Fan Zeng's eyes.

Fan Zeng was relentless, looking straight into his wife's eyes, trying to expose his wife's lies: "I have asked the county government about this matter. Ten years ago, Wei Di was destroyed and Chen Yu fled. Why did Chen Di have two more people after three months?" Come alone? Isn't it strange?"

The wife was sweating nervously, and he hesitated and said: "What's wrong with migrating from other places? The King of Qin conquered the Wei State by force, causing the people of the Wei State to be displaced. We had no choice but to migrate?"

Fan Zeng smiled coldly: "Didn't you just say that you have been farming in Chendi?"

His wife was a commoner, and he was completely confused when facing the flaws. Without professional training, he was quickly exposed by Fan Zeng's continuous questions.

Migration routes, identities, and early experiences are inconsistent.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Zeng pointed out Chen Yu's true identity and the inferred approximate migration route. His wife was flustered, and her back seemed to be filled with the smell of sweat.

Finally, Fan Zeng said, "You are Chen Yu's wife!"

"To be honest, your tricks are not worth mentioning in the government."

"But if you confess, I can give you a chance to commit crimes!"

The wife's last line of defense was broken, and she finally said everything.

Chen Yu was indeed a knight in Wei. Many years ago when Waihuang County fell, Zhang Er Chen Yu was forced to leave his hometown and came to Chen.

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Fan Zeng's mouth. He originally wanted to serve her with a stick, but after making her suffer a bit, he was forced to confess helplessly. He didn't expect Chen Yu's wife to recruit him so quickly, which saved him a lot of effort.

Immediately, Fan Zeng came to Chen Yu's room and spoke the confession of Chen Yu's wife loudly.

Chen Yu was astonished, and when he learned that his wife had betrayed him, his expression suddenly changed, and his face was full of disbelief.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yu explained everything and was willing to submit to all the crimes of the government, but in order to repay Zhang Er's kindness, he asked the government to spare Zhang Er's life.

Fan Zeng Dao explained the purpose of his visit: "Your Majesty is well-known and knows the prestige and kindness of Chen Yu Zhang Er, so he sent ministers here to give you a chance to perform crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

Chen Yu's eyes were tightly fixed together, hesitating for a few seconds, as if thinking.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Fan Zeng continued: "The Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun Mingdi killed his father, and successively annexed the grassland tribes, intending to dye the guide, and command the Central Plains."

"As His Majesty's confidant, the Xiongnu must be eliminated. However, eradicating the Huns is not an easy task. Your Majesty has decided to join forces with the Da Yuezhi to attack the Xiongnu!"

"However, it takes extraordinary courage and courage to go to the Great Yuezhi as an envoy. It is even more difficult to convince the Yuezhi King by walking in the court hall, watching the words and demeanors!"

Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, it was not easy to persuade King Yueshi.

But Fan Zeng warned: "The translators, guards, food and grass are all funded by the government, don't worry, sir!"

"Right now, Mr. Wang persuades Zhang Er to go to the Yuezhi Kingdom together!"

Chen Yu actually didn't want Zhang Er to take risks, but unfortunately Zhang Er would be beheaded if he didn't.

In desperation, Chen Yu persuaded Zhang Er to allow Fan Zeng to face the saint.

Zhangtai Palace.

Witnessing the majesty of the palace complex for the first time, Chen Yu and Zhang Er were attracted by the solemn atmosphere.

When I came to the front of the hall, I saw Zhonglang's guard standing proudly in the wind despite the severe cold, and he didn't complain even though his hands were frozen.

Chen Yu Zhang Er couldn't help feeling that the guards of Zhonglang were tenacious, and it was reasonable for such a tiger and wolf army to annex the six countries.

In front of them was the floor tiles paved with apricot wood, which was soft but soft, and the two stepped into the palace tremblingly.

Looking at the 120 pillars of the negative building, the [-] rafters of the beams made by Mulan, and the six pieces of Lantian jade pendants hanging on the door, the two of them were completely stunned.

The two lived in Wei for a long time. They thought that the palace of King Wei was magnificent enough, but they didn't expect that the palace of Qin was even more magnificent.

But what really made them break out in cold sweat was Qin Wangzheng sitting on the emperor's roof.

A terrible sense of oppression was pressing on the chests of the two of them like a giant mountain, and it took a lot of effort to even breathe.

Seeing the two being brought into the hall, Qin Wangzheng glanced at them from the corner of his eye and nodded slightly.

Qin Wangzheng already knew about the deeds of the two of them. They had perseverance, open-mindedness, and good qualities of treating others with faith. They were the perfect candidates for this operation.

After reviewing the memorial, Qin Wangzheng slowly opened his mouth and said, "Riding for thousands of miles, we have traveled through thousands of mountains and traveled thousands of rivers to the Yuezhi Kingdom."

"Use a three-inch tongue and two sharp teeth to lobby the Yuezhi King, and cooperate with the Great Qin to attack the Xiongnu."

"The difficulties and obstacles are self-evident, are you willing?"

Chen Yu and Zhang Er knelt down on the ground with serious expressions, and said in unison: "Your servants will definitely fulfill their mission!"

The two of them had no way out, and their hidden identities had been revealed by Fan Zeng. If they refused, they would be the most wanted criminals in the empire, and even gods couldn't save them.

If they complete their mission, they will have the opportunity to redeem their crimes, and their wives and children will be saved!

The Xiongnu tribe doesn't think about making progress, and they rely on plundering other people's wealth to fill their own pockets, and they will definitely be targeted by everyone.

Although the tribal countries he conquered complimented the Huns, they wanted to kill them. Sooner or later, the Huns would arouse the anger of the people and all the countries he conquered, expelled, and harassed.

And the Yuezhi Kingdom hated the Xiongnu even more. Mao Dun personally led [-] cavalry to march into the Yuezhi Kingdom, massacred the people of the Yuezhi Kingdom, forced women to be their slaves, and took all the jewels in the royal court as their own.

It's a pity that the Yuezhi Kingdom is alone and helpless, and he can't vent his anger. He can only watch his territory and subjects being bullied, and he can only take his clansmen and be forced to move eastward.

The Da Yue clan was invaded by the Xiongnu and driven out of their homeland. The Yue clan king even vowed to stand against the Huns, and one day he would step on his horse to avenge his hatred.

This coincides with Qin!

Therefore, the Da Yuezhi would probably join forces with the Da Yuezhi to attack the Huns, which is why Chen Yu and Zhang Er dared to send the Yuezhi as envoys.

Chen Yu and Zhang Er discussed dividing their troops into two groups, each leading a hundred light cavalry, quickly bypassing the Xiongnu and meeting at the border of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

A few days later, Zhang Er led a hundred cavalry and galloped from Longxi at night. During the day they turned into civilians and roamed on the grassland.

But when Chen Yu was about to cross the grassland of Helan Mountain, a dense crowd of thousands of Hun cavalry appeared in front of him
