"Imperial Father, did you release the Xiongnu envoys?”The moment Ying Chu heard that the Xiongnu messenger had left, he immediately rushed to the front of the First Emperor.
"What's wrong? Haven't you had enough fun?"
Qin Shi Huang's words made Ying Chu lose all his energy.
He had spent so much time thinking about Great Qin's future, but in Shi Huang's eyes, it was just a game?
At this moment, he had obviously forgotten about the system's mission.
"Imperial Father, I have a reason for treating the Xiongnu like this!”
Hearing these words, Qin Shi Huang only wanted to laugh.
"Oh?"
He put the memorial aside and looked at the other party seriously."Then tell me, why did you treat the messenger of the Xiongnu like that?”
"In the near future, the Xiongnu will become a great disaster for our Qin country!”
" Next year, the Xiongnu Crown Prince, Mao Dun, will kill his father and succeed to the throne. Then, he-"
"Kill your father and succeed to the throne?"
"Didn't the Mao Dun you mentioned already become the Crown Prince? Why did you kill your father?"
Looking at Qin Shi Huang who was staring at him with a serious expression, Ying Chu had the urge to facepalm.
As expected of the emperor, he was especially concerned about such sensitive issues.
" Because his father married a stepwife and gave birth to a younger son. Chief Touman plans to make his younger son the Crown Prince, so he took advantage of the time when Mao Dun went to the Yue clan to attack the Yue clan…"
"In the end, Mao Dun came back alive, and his father, Chief Touman, changed his opinion of him and gave him a ten-thousand-man cavalry.”
"But what Tou Man didn't know was that Mao Dun already knew that he wanted to kill him and bore a grudge against him.”
" Later, Mao Dun made a gong gong, and then, in the name of training, he ordered the tens of thousands of cavalrymen to shoot Old Eagle, his beloved horse, and even his wife to death…"
"In the end, after confirming that the cavalry would only listen to his orders, he shot the arrow at Touman without hesitation. The result is self-evident. Mao Dun successfully stood on his own!”
"From the looks of it, this child can barely be considered an ambitious person. However, I definitely don't care about people who kill their parents and wives!”
"That's true. According to the previous situation, you really couldn't see him!”
Ying Chu looked at the other party in annoyance and continued.
" That's not all. After Mao Dun took the throne, he worked hard to govern the country. He strictly governed the army, strengthened the internal organization, established a military and political system, and developed the grassland economy. His power was very strong..."
"Not only did they defeat Donghu, Yue Zhi, Ding Ling, Lou Fan, and Bai Yang, they even invaded the Hetao region of Great Qin and expanded their forces to the south of the Great Wall.”
"In 201 B.C., Mao Dun led his army south to attack Jinyang (present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi). The next year, he was besieged by the emperor of the Central Plains for seven days and seven nights without success.”
" From then on, the rulers of the Central Plains could only adopt a marriage policy, but Mao Dun still led the Xiongnu army to invade the south from time to time-"
"Ridiculous!"
Hearing this, the First Emperor finally couldn't take it anymore.
He crushed the bamboo slip in his hand into pieces."What did the rulers of the Central Plains do at that time? You're actually weak-"
Something's not right!
Wasn't the ruler of the Central Plains Great Qin?
Ying Chu knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.
"You'll have to ask your good son, Huhai!”
This light sentence successfully choked the other party.
At this moment, the First Emperor remembered what Chu 'er had heard from his master on his way out-the death of Qin II!
All of a sudden, he felt that he was being a little merciful to Huhai.
The First Emperor knew that if it wasn't for Chu 'er, he would have died on this trip.
In that case, there was no doubt that Mao Dun would unify the entire grassland after he ascended the throne!
With deep thoughts, Shi Huang looked at Ying Chu again."And then?"
"And then?"
"Then, Mao Dun dominated the north and south of the desert, directly threatening the Central Plains and establishing the powerful Xiongnu Empire.”
"The territory of the Xiongnu Empire is very vast. The easternmost part of the territory reaches the Liao River basin, the westernmost part reaches the Cong Mountains (now the Pamir Plateau), the southern part reaches the Great Wall of Qin, and the northern part reaches Lake Baikal. This was also the strongest period in the history of the Xiongnu Empire.”
"At that time, the Emperor of the Central Plains was deeply troubled by this. It was not until he finally implemented the policy of marriage that Mao Dun slightly stopped his harassment.”
"So, Father, you should know why I treated the Xiongnu emissary like that now, right?”
Ying Chu pouted, looking as if he had been misunderstood.
"Haha, what's there to be wronged about? Didn't your master say that?"
The First Emperor patted Ying Chu's head, not minding it.
However, Ying Chu's heart subconsciously tightened.
He was too careless.
Why did he speak too quickly and forget about Master?
"Of course. I've been dreaming about Master every day these past few days.”
"He kept telling me about Mao Dun. My ears are getting calluses!”
While the First Emperor wasn't paying attention, he quickly added a few words.
Hearing this, Shi Huang secretly swore to treat Ying Chu better.
In fact, he had never doubted Ying Chu from the start.
After all, he had already witnessed the power of Chu 'er's master on the way out.
Not only could it predict the future, but it could also snatch him back from the hands of the King of Hell and increase his lifespan.
And now, he had told Chu 'er about an enemy that had yet to develop.
After receiving such a favor, he naturally had to do the corresponding thing.
Moreover, he still hoped that one day, he would be able to meet that mighty figure through Chu 'er.
"Imperial Father? What are you thinking?"
"Father, are you thinking of a way to deal with the Xiongnu?”Seeing that Qin Shi Huang was ignoring him, Ying Chu stretched out his little arm and waved it in front of his eyes.
When the First Emperor came back to his senses, he heard this sentence and laughed,""Haha, do we even need to think about dealing with them?”
"If the Xiongnu want to become the overlord of the grasslands and the greatest threat to the Central Plains, we still have to see if Mao Dun can survive until then!”
After saying that, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Ying Chu instantly understood." Father, you mean…to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the Xiongnu before they develop?"”
"Hahaha, Chu 'er is not the only one who knows me!”
Qin Shi Huang laughed heartily but didn't nod.
He had his own considerations.
With Meng Tian and Fu Su leading the army to guard the Great Wall, the Xiongnu would not dare to attack.
Even though Great Qin had a strong army, they were not as skilled in riding and archery as the Xiongnu.
Other than that, the national treasury and granary had not been abundant in the past few years.
If they wanted to fight a war, they could not do without both!
If it had been him last year, he would have had a headache after learning about this.
But this year was different.
The sweet potatoes had been successfully planted, and the results were indeed gratifying.
In just three Mu of land, they had harvested over a hundred stones of grain!
Even though he already knew that its yield per mu was very high, when he really saw it, he was still shocked.
At present, he had already ordered people to plant a large number of sweet potatoes.
Once it matured, Great Qin's treasury and granary would once again be filled.
That would be the best time to send troops!
