"Sir, let's withdraw." The deputy general looked at Anthony with distress.

Anthony gritted his teeth and pulled the sword out of his feet and threw it in the corner.

He grinned and said, "Retreat the troops? Where to retreat? This is the land where our ancestors live for generations, how should we retreat?"

The deputy general laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer.

Anthony looked at the messenger: "Tell me what the Qin people said, so that you can surrender."

The messenger hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you really want to say it?"

Anthony nodded: "Seriously."

The messenger coughed dryly and said, "The scholar said that he was the descendant of the banished immortal and learned the banished immortal's ability. The banished immortal is the first-class talented person who goes to heaven and earth..."

Anthony was impatient: "What do you always brag about for the exiled immortals?"

The messenger smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that villain boasted about the exiled immortal, but that scholar said that. He seemed to worship the exiled immortal like a god."

Anthony nodded and said, "Stay on."

The messenger said carefully: "There are still many things to say about the banished immortal. Do you still need to continue?"

Anthony nodded: "Continue."

Who knows that the sentence is more critical? Who knows that the sentence is the real reason for the surrender of the barbarian generals? Of course, I have to say it all.

So the messenger began to repeat it again.

After praising the exiled immortal for a while, the envoy said, "At that time, the scholar said that we were provoking first, so they had to fight back in self-defense."

Anthony blurted out: “Isn’t this nonsense?”

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this statement seemed to make some sense.

At the beginning, it seemed that Augustus sent out an envoy to threaten the Qin people, and the Qin people sent troops to attack.

As of this, I was in the wrong hands?

No, no, even if Augustus threatened the Qin people, the Qin people's reaction was too fierce, right?

It is too much to go deep into the city and conquer the land alone.

Anthony persuaded himself and finally put himself on the justice side again.

Then he said to the messenger, "What happened? What else did he say?"

The messenger coughed dryly and said, "He also said that we soldiers led our troops to fight, not to fight for ourselves, but to fight for the powerful and powerful who have no worries about food, drink, fun and happiness."

"We charge forward, bleeding and sweating, but the powerful people who really enjoy the benefits."

Anthony was stunned and thought to himself: Is there any problem with this? Isn’t this the case since ancient times?

He said to the envoy: "Aren't they Qin people?"

The envoy shook his head: "No, the Qin people have been awarded military merits."

Anthony pondered for a while, nodded slowly, and asked again, "What else? What else did they say?"

The envoy said: "The scholar also said that if there is an imperial examination in the Qin Dynasty, as long as you study hard, you can become an official. Regardless of whether your ancestors are officials or civilians, you should treat everyone equally and speak according to your skills."

Anthony: "Isn't this a traitor? Aristocrats are nobles, and civilians are civilians. How can they be confused?"

The messenger coughed dryly: "Yes, what the lord said is right, but our soldiers don't think so."

"Although they are not slaves, and although they can be soldiers, they also have certain honors. However, compared with the Qin people, it is a bit too much to see."

"Later, this scholar said that as long as they surrender, they would become Qin people. In the future, whether they conquer our territory or send them to Qin people, they would have the opportunity to be the best."

Anthony's eyes widened: "So, they surrendered?"

The messenger nodded.

Anthony said angrily: "Aren't they afraid of being cheated?"

The messenger sighed and said to Anthony: "At first, everyone had such doubts, but the scholar asked everyone to look at the calluses on his hands."

"This scholar was originally a child of a poor family, and there was no doubt about this. However, he spoke extraordinaryly and had a sense of confidence in his bones. He was obviously a top-notch person who made friends with the powerful."

"So... everyone believed it. What this person said was true. He did pass the imperial examination."

The scholars seemed to be worried that we would not believe it, and they called many similar people.

Anthony said quietly: "Does the noble and the humble are not distinguished, are they not confused by the Qin people?"

The envoy said: "Not only is there no chaos, but it is very stable. It is said that after this decree was released, everyone in the whole country was happy and inspiring. People with insight entered the court one after another, and those who have served as officials for generations had to restrain themselves."

"Their emperor, therefore, has great power, and those struggles are almost gone."

Anthony frowned and said to the envoy: "However, we have different languages ​​and different writings from the Qin people. What's the use of those who surrender to the Qin people? How to study? How to go to the imperial examination?"

The messenger said: "This generation has most likely no hope. But the next generation still has hope."

"More importantly, the Qin Dynasty does not only have the imperial examination. It is said that there are opportunities in it. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and have a brain, you can often get rich overnight."

"It is said that there is a man named Liu Ji in Xianyang City. He was originally poor, but because he looked pretty, he immediately became famous and endorsed people everywhere."

Anthony interrupted the messenger: "What is endorsement?"

The messenger thought for a while and said, "The endorsement is...it seems to be to help people sell things."

Anthony: "…"

He was a little puzzled: Are these Qin people sick? Of course, they have to look at whether the goods are good or not. The price is fair and unfair. What does it have to do with the face of the seller?

The messenger said: "There is another small vendor named Damai. He was originally a pastry, but he was also poor. However, he lost all his money and sponsored a sports meeting of Exiled Immortals. He became popular all of a sudden. Now he is the largest pastry merchant in Xianyang City."

Anthony asked puzzledly: "What did you say? What is sponsorship? What is sports meet?"

The messenger said: "The sports meet is a group of people competing together. They test for force."

Anthony said oh, "Similar to the Colosseum."

The messenger was slightly stunned and said, "It's a bit similar, but it's more civilized, standardized, fair, and ornamental than the Colosseum."

Anthony felt a little unhappy: This guy kept saying the good of the Qin people. What does it mean? Could it be that he was convinced?
