How should he view the Bai Yue?
Hearing Qin Shi Huang's question, Ying Yu was stunned!
He had never thought that the First Emperor would ask about such a national matter!
In the historical records of his previous life.
The Baiyue Land had been invaded by the Nanman for generations, and they had the advantage of the terrain. Even after the First Emperor unified the world and sent out tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, it took a few years before it was incorporated into Great Qin's territory!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Baiyue region was a tough bone, and it was a threat that was not inferior to the Xiongnu in the north. It was like a thorn in the southern corner of Great Qin's territory!
What should they think of this kind of tough bones?
The more he thought about this question, the more he felt that something was wrong!
Even though he had already known the outcome of the Bai Yue through the historical memories of his previous life, it was not difficult for him to answer this question because he had obtained the inheritance of many famous people and knew military strategy and governance.
However, it was too surprising for the First Emperor to ask him this question.
No matter how he thought about it.
There was no logic in Qin Shi Huang's actions.
For such a difficult question, even if important officials like Li Si and Meng Tian were to answer it, they would not be able to come up with any good ideas.
Not to mention, to let a well-known silkpants prince say the truth…
If it were anyone else, they would never ask Ying Yu about such a thing!
Not long ago, the First Emperor had asked about the old people of the six countries. Not long after, he asked about the difficult problem of Baiyue.
How was this chatting with his silkpants son?
He was clearly discussing matters with the important ministers of the country, right?!
This matter was really strange!
After a few breaths of silence, Ying Yu sensed something unusual, and his expression became slightly nervous.
Looking at the slight surprise on his face, the First Emperor laughed in his heart.
This sly fox was clearly shocked.
He would never have thought that I already knew what he would do in the future. Now that I'm personally asking about the Land of Baiyue, let's see how he can continue pretending!
Shi Huang was secretly pleased with himself, and he had a bit of confidence that he was in control. However, his expression was normal, and it was difficult for others to tell what he was thinking.
Ying Yu was stunned.
Qin Shi Huang continued to smile, feigning doubt, and began to provoke him.
"This question is indeed a little difficult. It's normal that you can't answer it.”
"However, Yu 'er, if you can't answer a single question, I can't bestow your maidservant with imperial wine. That was the princess of the former Han Dynasty, and the royal wine was also aged for ten years.”
"You really won't regret giving up so easily?”
Ying Yu gnashed his teeth in anger when he heard those words!
In front of others, the First Emperor was always dignified and looked down on the world. However, in front of him, the First Emperor always revealed his father's craftiness and shrewdness.
Although it made people feel a lot closer, it made people feel even more depressed!
Just now, he inexplicably asked about the Land of the Hundred Yue, and in the blink of an eye, he was being sarcastic again!
That faint smile on his face seemed as if he was going to eat her up. His starry eyes flickered with a faint light as if he was going to see through everything.
Ying Yu felt that it was even more strange, and he was even more suspicious of the Emperor's question.
However, Ying Yu knew very well that he had to answer this question no matter what!
Think about it.
How could a silkpants give up beautiful women and good wine so easily?
If he didn't answer this question, his character would be ruined.
No matter what the First Emperor's intentions were, he had to bite the bullet and say a few words before adapting to the situation.
After pondering for a while, Ying Yu revealed a troubled expression and bowed.
"Father."
"Since that's the case, your son will speak nonsense!”
"In your son's opinion, the world belongs to Great Qin, and the Hundred Yue should naturally be included in Great Qin's territory!”
Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly.
This clever girl finally couldn't help but reveal her talent!
With anticipation, Qin Shi Huang stopped smiling and stared at the question.
"That's right."
"However, how do you think we can take down the Bai Yue? In the future, how should he govern this place?”
Attack?
Govern?
The two seemingly casual questions, which included military and political matters, instantly increased the difficulty!
The land of the Bai Yue had the advantage of the core of the earth. The forest was crisscrossed and the roads were rugged. There were also many poisonous insects and miasma. Other than the Nanman tribes who had lived here for a long time, it was not easy for outsiders to pass through safely!
That was why the Nanman tribes were able to stay away from the other countries for hundreds of years and not suffer from the scourge of war!
Even in the historical records, Great Qin had spent several years investing tens of thousands of soldiers and digging canals to transport military supplies before successfully conquering the Baiyue and establishing a County.
With just a few words, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Daoming to conquer the Hundred Yue Lands.
As for governance, it was even more of a headache!
The land of Baiyue had been inhabited by the Nanman tribes for generations. They had not been civilized and did not care about morality and etiquette. They only valued martial arts and took advantage of the geographical advantage of their respective territories to do whatever they wanted.
It seemed to be only a few hundred miles in radius, but there were many small and large tribes. It was almost impossible to subdue and govern them one by one.
Throughout the long river of history, there were not many examples of successfully subduing and governing Nanman.
Even someone as resourceful as Zhuge Wolong had to go through several bitter battles and capture Meng Huo seven times before he could convince the Nanman.
If one wanted to talk about governing this kind of barbarian territory with many local tyrants, one had to be an unparalleled talent who was proficient in the way of governing the country. Even if it took a few days and nights, they might not be able to finish the essence!
There were only a handful of people in the world who could answer these two questions perfectly!
Qin Shi Huang asked this question on purpose to force Ying Yu to reveal his talent and make this cunning man reveal his cards!
Ying Yu naturally sensed the abnormality as well. He knew how difficult it was to answer this question. Even if he had all the memories of history and the inheritance of a talented person, it was still impossible for him to answer it almost perfectly in a few seconds.
However…
He had long thought of how to deal with it!
In just a few breaths of time, he smiled and started to make up nonsense!
"Reporting to Imperial Father."
"Your son doesn't understand military strategy, nor does he know anything about governance. However, your son believes that as long as you send enough soldiers, it won't be difficult to conquer the Bai Yue.”
"As for future governance, it will be even simpler. If anyone dared to be unconvinced, they could continue to send troops to attack until they were convinced. Then, they would naturally be able to govern!”
As the laughter faded, the surroundings suddenly became strangely quiet.
An awkward atmosphere suddenly spread in the air.
The First Emperor was filled with anticipation, but he did not expect such an answer!
If you're not convinced, then beat him up?
Can you govern by beating them until they are convinced?
Boor!
What a boorish man!
If he didn't know how smart Ying Yu would be in the future, the First Emperor would have cursed out loud just by hearing these words!
How troublesome was the Land of the Bai Yue? How could it be subdued by brute force?
His expectations were dashed, and Shi Huang felt as if his breath was stuck in his throat!
After a few breaths, he quietly exhaled the anger in his heart.
"Phew…"
At this moment, looking at Ying Yu's fake smile, Qin Shi Huang felt more and more angry.
Thinking back to what this kid said, it made him even more depressed!
You know nothing about governance?
Haha.
A person who would be able to skillfully use the Lianheng Strategy in the future actually said that he knew nothing about it?
He was clearly talking nonsense!
What was even more ridiculous was that he even pretended to be confused and gave the stupidest answer, turning into a complete boor and threatening to conquer the Land of the Hundred Yue?
This kid was clearly answering randomly on purpose!
If he didn't know how to govern the country, 99% of the civil and military officials in the court would be useless!
Pretending!
Even now, this cunning fox was still pretending!
Looking at Ying Yu's smile and pretending to be ignorant, Qin Shi Huang was so angry that he laughed. He stared at Ying Yu for a few breaths, but did not ask any more questions.
He had already seen it clearly.
Ying Yu was obviously going to pretend to the end, but he couldn't find out anything even if he tried again.
Unless they found the best opportunity, it was impossible to force this kid to reveal his cards!
Moreover, although the answer just now was unpleasant to hear, but after thinking about it, he could hear some clues!
Until he was beaten into submission!
The boldness contained in these four words was already domineering enough and had the demeanor of an emperor!
After seeing Fu Su's cowardice and pedantry, the First Emperor felt a little relieved when he heard this answer. His depression and anger dissipated quite a bit.
It was a pity.
He still didn't ask Ying Yu to reveal his cards, nor did he find out why Ying Yu had no ambition.
Seeing that this kid was as slippery as a loach, Shi Huang could only give up.
"Good, good answer."
After forcing a smile and nodding his head, Emperor Shi rewarded the beauty with wine on the spot.
Ying Yu thanked him with a smile and left with satisfaction.
Looking at his son's departing figure, the First Emperor revealed a regretful expression as he muttered,"
"Yu 'er, oh Yu' er, how long are you going to pretend?”
"He's clearly so domineering, so why does he have no intention of becoming emperor?”
