Chapter 416 Continue to fight Zhao!
The Yuezhi King was very angry, very angry.
He said coldly to the Qin envoy in front of him: "I have all the troops in the country to support you Qin. As a result, you Qin people have retreated just now, just arrived at the battlefield. Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
The Qin envoy obviously understood Yue Shi's words. He hurriedly said, "The king misunderstood. It was because some unexpected changes suddenly occurred in our country, which led to the withdrawal of troops. Of course, our country also knew that the king must be dissatisfied with this, so he prepared a hundred carts of gifts in the rear, and the king would see them later."
After hearing this, the dissatisfaction on King Yuezhi's face eased a little, but he still said in a very unhappy tone: "I also know that Zhao State is powerful, but where do you withdraw your troops like this place?"
In fact, it was precisely because of the power of Zhao that the Yuezhi King hesitated for a while, which led to Bai Qi fighting with Le Yi for so long that the Yuezhi Cavalry was barely approaching Guanzhong. Of course, it was impossible for the Yuezhi King to admit such a thing.
The reason for sending troops in the end was, on the one hand, because the promises made by the Qin people were indeed very touching, such as handing over the territory of Lin Hu and Yiqu to the Yuezhi. In this way, the territory of Yuezhi was greatly expanded, and the space for survival and national strength could be reached to a great level.
On the other hand, the Yuezhi King felt that if something happens in the future, Zhao State would definitely attack Qin State first. Yuezhi could act according to the opportunity, and it was amazing that he would return to the Hexi Corridor.
In the end, Qiu Ju's persuasion to King Yuezhi was actually not a decisive factor. At best, it was an excuse for King Yuezhi to send troops.
King Yuezhi is not a fool, so how could he send troops to you casually just by saying this? It’s not uncommon for King Yuezhi to be destroyed by Lin Hu and Yiqu.
But now that Qin State withdrew its troops, the King of Yuezhi knew in his heart that his previous plan must have been wasted, so he was so angry.
Fortunately, this Yuezhi King is still a conscientious person. If it were someone else, the Qin envoy's head would fall to the ground and the body would be cold.
The Qin envoy hurriedly said, "Please don't worry, your king. Although our army has to retreat, Zhao's troops in Guanzhong have actually been crippled by our army. If the king is willing, he can still take the former land of Lin Hu and Yiqiu as planned. Yuezhi's interests have not been affected at all."
"Is that true?" King Yuezhi looked at the Qin envoy in front of him suspiciously. At this time, King Yuezhi's trust in Qin had dropped to freezing point, and the suspicious expression on his face was unconcealed.
After thinking about it, the King of Yuezhi suddenly sneered: "Come, send someone to get his gift! Also, since you said that you used your life to guarantee that the people of Zhao no longer had the ability to resist, then from today on, you should follow my army to continue to fight against Guanzhong!"
When the Qin envoy was stunned when he heard this, he then laughed calmly: "Everything is as the king said."
Qiu Kuo's eyes were dripping around the Qin envoy and the Yuezhi King, without saying a word.
The Qin envoy was quickly taken down. The Yuezhi King was obviously greatly affected by this change and directly ordered camping on the spot.
A little later that day, King Yuezhi summoned the four troops in the army to discuss the situation.
King Yuezhi took the lead in speaking: "You all tell me, is the Qin envoy telling a lie or the truth?"
The other Xu Hou looked at each other and understood the thoughts of the Yuezhi King.
The Yuezhi King was actually a little moved and wanted to continue attacking, otherwise he would just go back to the army. Why raise such a question?
Xiumi Xihou is a person who looks extremely mature in terms of age and appearance. The Xiumi tribe is also the largest tribe in the Yuezhi. Xiumi Xihou’s official position in the Yuezhi is equivalent to a prime minister, so it is also the first one to speak: "King, the old minister thinks we can try to plunder and then withdraw our troops. After all, Zhao is a powerful country, and we cannot easily defeat it."
As soon as Xiumi Xihou said this, another Xihou, the second-ranked Shuangmi Xihou, who was ranked second in the Yuezhi Kingdom, sneered and said, "Robbery? We have dispatched most of the cavalry in the country. If we just robbed and went back, we may not even be able to provide the supplies for this time, right? How did you ask Ben Xihou to go back and explain to the warriors in the clan who screamed and wanted to obtain more prey and supplies?"
As you can see from the tone of your speech alone, Xiumi and Shuangmi Xihou are obviously not right, and in fact, these two are indeed the biggest political enemies.
After hearing Shuangmi Xihou’s rebuttal, Xumi Xihou was furious and said, “What, can’t you even control the soldiers in your clan? No wonder you Shuangmi’s tribe is just that, hey!”
Where could Shuangmi Xihou bear this anger? He immediately slapped his head and shouted, "You're talking about the immortal thing again?"
Xiumi Xu also stood up and said without giving in: "Why, if you don't accept it, let your Shuangmi tribe and my Xiumi tribe compete?"
"Enough!" King Yuezhi slapped the table and shouted: "If you quarrel, don't bring personal grudges to such military and national affairs! Let me sit down!"
Xiumi Xihou and Shuangmi Xihou had their eyes facing each other, and sparks seemed to shine in the air. Frightened by the majesty of the Yuezhi King, the two finally gave up the quarrel and sat down.
Seeing these two thorns surrender, the Yuezhi King also snorted and said unhappily: "People should express their opinions too."
Kushan Xihouqiu observed his expression and immediately spoke: "King, I think I should continue to march. At least I should give the warriors some explanation, and by the way, I should also explore the reality of the people of Zhao."
The Yuezhi King nodded slightly. Considering that Qiu Ju played the role in this military dispatch, it was not surprising that he said such words.
The last one, Xihou, the fourth-ranked prince Dun Xihou, said: "The king, I also think that I should test Zhao. If Qin is defeated, Yuezhi will also be neighbors with Zhao in the future. And if it is victorious, it will be of great benefit to Yuezhi."
Four Xihou made statements one after another, and three supported the continued invasion.
Seeing this, the King of Yuezhi stopped hesitating and said happily: "Okay, then continue to attack Zhao State! The Qin people's words may not be reliable, so if we don't attack Guanzhong, the Zhao people will definitely be defending heavily. We will attack the territory of Linhu people and Yiqu people. As long as we can defeat each tribe, we will do it like this!"
