"Actually, Your Majesty don't need to be so cautious, the Yue clan is actually a frightened bird at the moment, and they are all vigilant and precautionary against my Great Qin's wind and grass, so it is not impossible to send envoys with the intention of Li Xiang and Feng Xiang, and bring me the momentum of the Great Qin to destroy the Hun Hu to negotiate with you, there will inevitably be panic within the Yue clan, the Yue clan and the Hun Hu are generally not tightly united, but there are many tribes, but they are only condensed by the suppression of the Yue clan royal tribe, in fact, it is the same as the original Great Zhou royal family, there is nothing to see, Sending a powerful iron cavalry as an escort, the soldiers entering the Yue Clan will inevitably be panicked, and maybe it will split into several tribes......" Chen Xu thought for a moment and said.

"Aiqing is supporting the strategy of the two prime ministers?" Qin Shi Huang nodded.

But Chen Xu shook his head slightly and said: "What Fang Caichen said is only the best result, but because I don't know anything about the situation inside the Yue Clan, if the King of the Yue Clan is strong enough, he will inevitably suppress the panic within the clan, then the outcome may be the result that General Meng said, he will gather a large army to guard against the surprise attack of my Great Qin, so that there will be a head-on conflict, and then the result is what His Majesty just said, it may be a bloody battle, resulting in huge casualties among my Great Qin soldiers, and the art of war is cloudy: know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Therefore, when neither the enemy nor the enemy is clear about the strength of the other party, rash conquest is not the best strategy, so the minister thinks that the best way is to salute first and then soldier. ”

"Salute before soldiers?!" Several people looked at Chen Xu at the same time, and their faces were all puzzled.

The Central Plains countries uphold the Zhou rites, of course, they are all reasonable people, up to the emperor down to the commoners, they still know to be reasonable, although Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six countries seems not to be very reasonable, but in fact, it is also the biggest truth, because the fist is the last word, not to mention that Qin Shi Huang has already made the reason for the destruction of the six countries clear, the reason for the destruction of the six countries is 'the princes are fighting, and the people are poor', so he wants to end this situation of the princes fighting, so with the help of Li Si and Wei Yi and other advisers, he formulated the 'destroy the princes, become the emperor's industry, The strategy of unifying the world'.

But the idea is beautiful, and the process is brutal.

Qin Shi Huang's great cause of conquest is just like the new China in later generations to defeat imperialism and the exploiting class to liberate all mankind, no prince is willing to be defeated, and no people are willing to be liberated, they all feel that their country is very good, so Qin Shi Huang had to roll up his sleeves and wave his iron fist to begin to reason with these princes one by one.

But being reasonable and polite is also divided into groups, the princes of the Central Plains used to be polite, even if they didn't like each other, but at the banquet meeting of the King of Zhou, they would still fight each other and drink, but for those barbarians in the southeast and northwest, the princes of the Central Plains are not eye-catching, and they will definitely not sit together to drink and punch their sisters, generally they just roll up their sleeves and go up to fuck him, if they are bullied, other princes will also help.

At the beginning, Zhao was attacked by the Xiongnu, and the king of Zhao wanted to mobilize a large army to fight back, but he was afraid that Qin would stab his chrysanthemum in the back, so he wrote to the Empress Dowager Xuan to state the pros and cons, and the Empress Dowager Xuan replied that "the brothers are insulted by the wall, Qin and Zhao are all from the surname Ji, it is a state of brothers, the Huns are barbarians, you can rest assured to fight the Huns, if there is a lack of troops Qin can also Chen Bingbei County defend the rear for you", and later Qin sent 100,000 troops to defend Beijun, Zhao gathered a large army and the Xiongnu A big battle, directly defeated the Xiongnu.

Therefore, since ancient times, the Central Plains and Qiangrong Human have never talked about etiquette, and they have never been reasonable.

But Chen Xu now proposed to salute first and then soldier, naturally, including the emperor, they all felt a little incredible and even unacceptable.

"Qinghe Marquis, the Yue clan is a mixed state of Rong and Hu, and if you don't obey Wang Hua and don't understand etiquette, how can you salute them first and then soldiers?" Even Meng Tian, who did not recommend sending a large army to escort the envoys at the beginning, was very puzzled.

"General Meng, the current situation in the world, not when the princes fought in the past, although the Qiangrong Hu Barbarians were still barbaric, but they also gradually began to end the scattered clan and tribal state, and began to have a unified royal court, and also imitated the rudiments of some of the court system in my Zhongyuan, the destruction of the Yue clan is actually a war to destroy the country, but the land of the Western Regions is so vast, just like we conquered Hun Hu but could not incorporate all the places where they live into the territory of Great Qin, it is really too much to handle, the arm can't stretch so long, and can't manage so far, If we forcibly conquer the Yue Clan, not to mention how many soldiers are sacrificed, how to rule such a large territory after defeating the Yue Clan is the biggest problem, and if we kill it inexhaustibly, it will inevitably come back, and what we need is the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions, so we must subdue the moral barrier, let the Western Regions all know that my Great Qin is reasonable, and the best outcome is that they are convinced to submit to Great Qin, and then my Great Qin will slowly educate them, let them read the book of the Central Plains, speak the language of the Central Plains, and completely abandon the barbaric stateAfter decades and a hundred years, the Western Regions can be completely naturalized, and the soldiers can also let the Western Regions understand the attitude and policy of our Great Qin towards them, as long as the Yue clan is subdued, the other small state tribes will naturally fall to the wind and go to the army to fight, this is a bloodless battle......"

"But what if the Yue clan kills the envoy Chen Bing?" Li Si asked suddenly.

"Hehe, salute first and then soldier, that is naturally the sword and soldier meet, at this time there must be different voices and ideas within the Yue Clan, when the time comes, the general will use the strategy of destroying Zhao, and use countermeasures, and arrange for the people who collude with the Yue clan and do not want to conflict with my Great Qin, as long as there is a slight chaos within the Yue clan, General Meng can naturally instigate the army to take advantage of the situation, if it is supplemented by someone within the Yue clan to rebel, the Yue clan will collapse and collapse in an instant......"

"Hmph, give the king of the Yue clan ten guts, he will definitely not dare to kill my Great Qin envoy, blood debt and blood repayment, if he dares to do it, I will kill the entire Yue clan!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting on the central chair, snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, even if the king of the Yue clan is strong, he will definitely not dare to kill my envoy of Great Qin, so the first salute is to arrange for an envoy to go with the interpreter of the pawn office and one hundred and ten soldiers, and pass on the edict of His Majesty to show his courtesy, if the king of the Yue clan shows weakness, he will definitely hand over the Mao Dun ......"

"If the Yue Clan hands over Mao Dun, then how should my Great Qin follow?" Lees continued to ask.

"If the Yue clan hands over Mao Dun, then naturally my Great Qin will show mercy, send an ambassador to bring gold beads and beautiful jade, silk porcelain, red wine, tea, glassware, etc. to the Yue clan again to reward, and at the same time carry an edict to reward the king of the Yue clan and many Yue nobles, and ask for trade with them, so that my Great Qin merchants can begin to infiltrate the Western Regions, and take the opportunity of trade to secretly send spies to explore the situation of the Yue clan and the entire Western Regions, and everywhere to publicize the attitude of our Great Qin towards the states of the Western Regions, show courtesy, and declare kindness, In a year, the Yue clan will inevitably relax its vigilance, and when the army attacking the Western Regions and the supply of grain and grass are complete, they can plan the opportunity to suddenly attack the Yue clan in a battle, so that my Great Qin soldiers will inevitably shed less blood and sacrifice......"

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qinghe thinks this is the safest way!" Meng Tian stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thought that the Marquis of Qinghe's strategy was feasible, and rashly led the army to negotiate with the Yue clan, which has changed a lot, since ancient times, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and constantly send envoys and gifts to confuse their eyes, confuse their hearts, and the king of the Yue clan must be negligent in preparing for war!" Meng Yi, who had not spoken, also stood up and saluted.

"What do the two prime ministers think?" The Emperor turned his head to look at Li Si and Feng Quji.

"The old minister thinks that the plan of the Marquis of Qinghe is feasible, and the Yue clan will bear the brunt of the attack on the Western Regions, as long as the Pingyue clan, the Western Regions will almost be at your fingertips!" Feng Qujian also stood up and replied.

"The old minister also agrees with this policy!" Li Si was silent for a long time and then nodded.

Seeing that the four humerus ministers all agreed with Chen Xu's point of view, Qin Shi Huang nodded with a relaxed smile on his face, "Okay, then I will follow the young master's policy, and send envoys to negotiate with the Yue clan for a period of one year, and after a year, no matter how the Yue clan responds, I will conquer it, General Meng, this matter will be discussed with you and the six departments of the three provinces as appropriate, and any news must be reported to me as soon as possible!" ”

"Obey the order!" Meng Tian clenched his fists with a serious face.

The next morning, the emperor immediately issued an edict to send an envoy to the Yueshi, but on the envoy candidates, the Manchu civil and military ministers were silent, and no one was willing to ask for help.

Sending ministers to deal with barbarians has never been done in the Central Plains.

The language is not spoken, and the main thing is that I heard that this envoy can only bring more than 100 soldiers to guard, what can more than 100 people do, and they are used to fighting a random battle on the scale of tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, this little strength is not enough to feed the wild wolves, because the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, all of them are grassland deserts, wild wolves are infested in groups, plus some small tribes are disturbed and the environment is unfamiliar, maybe they will never go back.

All the ministers are very entangled and depressed, and finally conquered the six countries, now is the time to enjoy comfort, no one wants to be this may have no return to the broken envoys, there is no benefit to go, but if you don't go, you are afraid that the emperor will point troops to yourself, the officials above the third grade are okay, as the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries, they will definitely not be sent to be envoys, but those officials of the four, five, six or seven grades are all frightened, and can only bow their heads and pray in their hearts that the emperor has forgotten his existence.

And the most feared of them were a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Pawn Bureau, because this kind of errand has been their task since ancient times.

Looking at the silent court and the civil and military officials who were all silent, the emperor's face was slightly ugly, and his fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the dragon chair, and the sound of dada dada shook many people like machine guns.

Li Si hesitated for a moment and was about to stand up, but Chen Xu stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person to be the envoy!" ”

Daqin has reached the point where it is now, and almost all civil and military officials have begun to enjoy themselves comfortably, and they have slowly lost their original enthusiasm and fighting spirit.

But this kind of task, which is not too dangerous in Chen Xu's opinion, is actually the best opportunity to become an official and become a knight.

If Li Si opened his mouth, the emperor would inevitably agree, he had made such a good peach, how could he let Li Si gently pick it and take advantage of it, because once he returned from a successful mission, he would definitely be promoted and reused.

Seeing Chen Xu speak first, Li Si's face instantly became gloomy, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked up at Chen Xu almost at the same time.

"Who does the young master recommend?" Qin Shi Huang's face instantly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Li Shun of the newspaper hall to serve as the envoy of the Yue clan this time!"

"Li Shun, well, I remember that it was the military reporter who raided the Xiongnu royal court in Hebei, who was brave, resourceful and courageous." The emperor's eyes lit up, and the Manchu civil and military forces breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

"Yes, Li Shun was named the next secretary by His Majesty last time, whether it is an official position or courage, he is the best choice for this visit to the Yue Clan!" Chen Xu replied.

"What do the two prime ministers think?" Qin Shi Huang looked at Li Si and Feng Quji.

"I think it's possible!" Feng Quji stood up and bowed.

"The minister also thinks that the person recommended by the Marquis of Qinghe is competent!" Li Si stood up with a sinking face.

Dongfang Dao gambled and admitted defeat, and then became seriously ill for more than a month, although Li Si's status in the emperor's heart has not diminished, but his momentum above the court has weakened a lot, at this time, under the premise that Feng Quji has obviously expressed his support, even if he proposes a different candidate again, there is no chance, because many ministers will choose to support Chen Xu.

"Okay, Li Shun is brave, resourceful and courageous, I will appoint Li Shun as the chief envoy of the Yue clan this time, pass on my edict, and announce that Li Shun will listen to the court tomorrow and officially send the Yue clan!"

"Honorable Order!" The Manchu civil and military forces bowed and saluted at the same time. (https:)
