Chapter 602: The Choice of the Countries of the Western Regions

Han Xin, who received Lin Ze's instructions, immediately arranged for someone to distribute the announcement with his seal.

The content of the announcement is simple and clear: the army of the Qin State is in Longyou City, and the countries of the Western Regions will come to apologize for their crimes, and if they do not arrive within a month, they will be destroyed.

Under Han Xin's deliberate publicity, this announcement and the news of the defeat of the Byzantine army reached the ears of the countries of the Western Regions at the same time.

When the king of a small country heard the news, he immediately panicked and sent someone to take out all the private treasures in his treasury and prepare to go to Longyou City to apologize.

At this time, the largest kingdom in the Western Regions, the Kingdom of Loulan, came forward and called on the kings of various countries to go to Loulan City to discuss major matters.

The Loulan Kingdom can be regarded as the overlord of the Western Regions, with a population of more than one million and a standing army of tens of thousands.

The countries received an important invitation from the Loulan Kingdom and immediately arranged for people to rush to Loulan City.

Half a month later, the kings or princes of hundreds of small countries came to Loulan City with a team of guards, and under the leadership of the people arranged by the Loulan Kingdom, they came to the Loulan Palace.

In the main hall of the Loulan Palace, the current king of Loulan, Atasha, stood on the steps, clenched his right hand into a fist, put it on his chest, bent slightly, and saluted the rest of the kings: "Welcome to the arrival of the Lord of the Oasis, this king is very honored. ”

Atasha succeeded to the throne a few years ago, the previous king of Loulan was his father, unfortunately died at the hands of Wang Ben, as the eldest son of the previous king, he rightfully inherited the throne, but also because of this grudge against the Qin state.

The king of Basha Kingdom, who was located in the northern part of the Western Regions, was the first to stand up and speak, "King Atasha, what are you summoning us here for this time?"

Atasha said with a resolute face: "For revenge." ”

The kings and princes of the countries sitting in the audience couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

A hateful look appeared in Atasha's eyes, and he said loudly: "Have you ever remembered a few years of money, when the Qin people Wang Ben slaughtered my father's compatriots and insulted my sisters?"

The faces of everyone in the audience were a little ugly.

Wang Ben's unscrupulous bullying of the royal families of various countries back then was an unforgettable pain for them in their lives.

Seeing everyone's faces, Atasha knew that everyone's emotions were mobilized by him, and continued to say loudly: "It's just because the Qin State is strong, and our strength is weak, in the face of such family hatred and national hatred, we can only hold it in our hearts, dare to be angry and dare not speak." ”

"But there is no sun that never sets, and there is no empire that will last forever, the Qin State has suffered from civil strife, and its strength has long been gone, this is our opportunity. ”

"Of course, even so, we still can't defeat the Qin State, so we sent people to invite the warriors of the Byzantine Empire, they can definitely defeat the Qin State and let us never be oppressed again. ”

Hearing this, the kings or princes of the countries in the audience were slightly unnatural on their faces, and they slandered in their hearts: A few days ago, the army of the Byzantine Empire was beaten by the Qin army and fled, where did you get the confidence that the Byzantine Empire could defeat the Qin State?

If it weren't for the fact that the Loulan Kingdom was the overlord of the Western Regions, there would have been people who would have directly refuted it.

Although they couldn't refute it directly, these people still didn't give any good faces, and some even exchanged heads and chatted in a low voice.

Seeing the change in the expressions of everyone in the audience, Atasha didn't know what they were thinking, coughed heavily, and continued to say loudly: "You should be like me, you have received the news of the defeat of the Byzantine Empire, so you have little confidence in whether the Byzantine Empire can win. ”

"I can tell you here unequivocally that it was only a small army of the Byzantine Empire that was defeated, and it did not affect his strength in the slightest. ”

"Next, the Byzantine Empire will have a million-strong army come to the Western Regions to completely defeat the Qin State for us, or even destroy it. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, the number of millions of troops, the number of armies alone, was more than the population of their own kingdom, it was really terrifying.

Atasha was very satisfied with the amazement shown by everyone, and sure enough, everyone was essentially the same, half a month ago, he was also amazed when he first got the news.

Atasha hit the railway while it was hot: "Please don't believe Qin Guo's demagogic words, everyone goes to Longyou City to apologize at this time, and it is nothing to lose a little property." ”

"If you wait for the Byzantine Empire to defeat the Qin State, or even completely destroy it, how will you face the Byzantine Empire at that time? ”

At this time, someone raised a different idea: "But what if the Byzantine Empire loses again? According to the information I have inquired, the Qin State has a peerless powerhouse to attack this time, and this is the reason why the Byzantine Empire was defeated before." ”

It was the king of Marin in the eastern part of the Western Regions who spoke.

Marin is located in the eastern part of the Western Regions, and is under the front of the Qin State all the year round.

The timid and cautious King Marin naturally did not dare to offend the Qin State easily.

Atasha frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said loudly: "King Marin doesn't have to worry, the Byzantine army that is about to arrive is commanded by two peerless powerhouses, and this time, it will definitely not be easily defeated by the Qin State." ”

However, this passage did not impress King Marin, who whispered: "What if we lose? ”

"Isn't it just a tribute? To whom is a tribute not a tribute?"

Atasha's face changed drastically, and he said in a cold voice: "King Marin, have you forgotten the humiliation that the Qin State has brought to you? Our compatriots and brothers were arbitrarily slaughtered by them, and our wives and daughters and sisters were wantonly humiliated by them, is this what you want?"

The king of Marin replied confidently: "Of course not, so this king does not dare to offend the Qin State easily." If the Byzantine Empire is defeated this time and the Qin State is liquidated, will your Loulan Kingdom be able to withstand it?"

Atasha's face froze, and he was speechless for a moment.

The king of Marin took the opportunity to say to the others: "You can think about it, after all, the dead have long since turned to dust, and we should plan for the living." ”

"If you lose a few treasures, you can save your life, why should you lose a big one because of a small one?"

Seeing that the others were about to move, Atasha was furious, pointed at the king of Marin Kingdom and said, "This person is a spy of the Qin State, come and kill him." ”

The face of the king of Marin changed greatly, and he shouted: "This king is not a spy, this king is just for everyone's consideration, please don't be fooled, and there will be no place to die when the time comes." ”

As he said this, the king of Marin beckoned his guards to come and protect him.

But this is the Loulan Palace after all, and the actions of the king of Marin are doomed to be in vain.

A quarter of an hour later, the dead head of the king of Marin was put in a tray and proclaimed to the people.

Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, and they cheered up, not daring to slack off at all.

Atasha snorted coldly: "The Qin State is a spy, and everyone will be punished." ”

After looking around, Atasha said in a cold voice: "There will inevitably be a big war between the Byzantine Empire and the Qin State, if you let the big men of the Byzantine Empire know that you are currying favor with the Qin State, the fate of the king of Marin will be your end." ”

"So this time, none of you are allowed to go to Longyou City to apologize to the Qin State. If you let me know, who broke the rules, waited until the Byzantine Empire came, and was the first to slaughter you, do you hear?"

With the experience of the king of Marin, the kings or princes of various countries did not dare to refute it out loud, but only answered in a low voice.

Atasha was still not satisfied, and looked at everyone one by one with a fierce face, and everyone touched Atasha's fierce gaze and couldn't help but lower their heads.

Atasha nodded in satisfaction.

......

A month passed in a flash, and Han Shin would climb the city wall from time to time to see if anyone came.

However, no one took the risk to come, and some people even thought that Qin Guo had never said that he would slaughter the entire Western Regions, and when the time came, a few unlucky ghosts would be wiped out as an example, and they might be able to survive.

It's just that they don't know that the commander of the Qin army this time is not so easy to speak.

As Lin Ze said, I gave you the opportunity, you can't grasp it yourself, don't regret it in the future.
