Chapter 1181: Gentleman's Revenge [Please subscribe*Please vote]

When Bingzhou moved, the whole world was shocked.

It is easy to raise an army but difficult to stop it. This is a truth that everyone knows.

It is easy to raise an army, but various problems will follow.

If we win, everything will be fine, but there are still many problems in the aftermath such as taking over the territory.

If we lose, there will be more problems, although no one thinks we will lose.

The most feared thing is to succeed in a protracted and stalemate war, in which case Bingzhou will be dragged into the abyss of war.

"Isn't it coming for us?"

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng and the Qin high-ranking officials became nervous.

The army raised in the western part of Bingzhou corresponds to the northwest of Qin State.

The Qin army was all outside, and there were not too many troops stationed in the northwest.

If Bingzhou really wants to go to war with Qin, then Qin can only move its capital.

King Wuling of Zhao's plan is still useful today.

Li Yao hid behind the pillar of the hall, not daring to say a word.

He was afraid that this was Bingzhou's revenge on him for dumping the gold.

"Most likely not!"

Wang Jian, who was urgently recalled, and Wei Liaozi, who was about to escape, came to the same conclusion.

Although Bingzhou has a vast territory, it is also a fact that its population is small, and the Qin army is only outside, not dead.

Once Qin moved its capital and recalled its army, the Qin-Bing War would drag both countries into the abyss of war, which was not in the interests of Bingzhou.

"If we go to war with our Great Qin, Li Ren should lead the troops, not Luo Bing."

"What's more, Bingzhou has no legitimate reason to attack!" Wang Jian continued.

As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Yao.

The teacher is unknown?

Bingzhou really has a legitimate reason for its rule.

"Not really, not really!" Li Yao said hurriedly.

"Let's contact the Foreign Minister's Office of Bingzhou and find out what Bingzhou's intentions are!" Ying Zheng thought about it and decided to ask directly.

"Don't we need to prepare for war?" Everyone else looked at Wang Jian and Wei Liaozi.

"If Bingzhou really wants to go to war with us, unless we recall all the troops from all over the country, we will not be able to stop the invasion of Bingzhou with the troops from Longxi and the north, so there is no need at all!" Wei Liaozi shook his head.

This battle also exposed the weakness of Qin's weak military forces in the northwest.

Longxi was once known as a barren land with hundreds of thousands of mountains. If one wanted to attack the Qin State from Longxi, the first thing one would have to face was not the obstruction of the Qin army, but the endless deep mountains and forests and rugged roads.

But it is different now. With the opening of the Hexi Corridor, exchanges between the Western Regions and Qin have become frequent, and roads have been repaired in places like Longxi, allowing the army to march straight in.

"However, after the war is over, we must also pay attention to the northwest border defense equipment!" Wei Liaozi put forward his own suggestions and plans for the renovation of the northwest border defense post of Qin.

Ying Zheng nodded, not every era is like the one between him and Yan Yan.

It has nothing to do with their personal relationship, but the fact that both Daqin and Bingzhou cannot withstand any major disturbance, and no one dares to attack the other easily.

But in the future, no one can say for sure whether Bingzhou will have problems first or Qin will have problems first.

As long as one side has a problem, the other side will directly raise the banner of attack. The phrase "how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside your bed" is enough reason to start a war.

Therefore, Wang Jian and others had no objection to Wei Liaozi's proposal to rectify the northwestern border defense.

"Your Majesty, the foreign minister of Bingzhou requests to see you!" Zhang Han also appeared in the Qinian Palace and said loudly.

"Here comes the army to hold you accountable!" Ying Zheng gave Li Yao an unpleasant look.

This is the true meaning of raising an army to hold someone accountable.

The army has been mobilized, and now the Foreign Minister has come in person. If this is not an investigation into the crime, what is it?
"Please!" Ying Zheng did not refuse.

Soon, Gongsun Linglong walked into Qinian Palace with the scepter and saw that everyone was there.

"You're all here, just right!" After paying her respects, Gongsun Linglong looked at Wang Jian and the others with a smile.

"Here it comes..." Everyone's heart trembled, fearing that Gongsun Linglong was really here to call for punishment.

"I have come to meet His Majesty the First Emperor on the order of the Emperor. I have two purposes. First, I hope that the State of Qin will increase its gold exports to Bingzhou!" Gongsun Linglong said in a serious voice.

"Not really, not really. My Great Qin had no choice but to do this. That's because we believe in Bingzhou and trust Emperor Xuanwu!" Xiong Qi started to make a joke.

"This is a unanimous decision made by everyone in Bingzhou. I am not being sarcastic. Bingzhou has a great demand for gold. If Qin cannot import a large amount of gold into Bingzhou, it will be a disaster for Bingzhou!" Gongsun Linglong knew very well that Qin had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.

“???” Li Yao and others were confused.

Gold is pouring out, prices are rising, and you want to increase the extent of the price increase?
"Alas..." Gongsun Linglong was helpless and explained in detail the incident of the people of Bingzhou snatching gold.

"..."The entire Qinian Palace fell into deathly silence, and one could hear a pin drop.

"Damn, Bingzhou is so rich?" Wang Jian couldn't help but swear and broke the silence.

That's not tens, hundreds, or even thousands of gold, but it's calculated by stones, and it's not just dozens of stones!
As a result, the Bingzhou government didn't take any action, and the common people just divided it up among themselves?

Everyone looked at Li Yao at the same time. If they had known it was so easy to solve, wouldn't they have just sold it to the Qin people?

The people of Bingzhou, who have just emerged from being barefoot, can afford to collect gold, so the people of Qin are so bad?

"I don't know!" Li Yao said in a low voice.

He also didn't expect that the people would have such a great demand for gold.

As long as gold is not circulating in the market, it will not have much impact on prices.

But who could have imagined that ordinary people had such a hobby of collecting gold and such a huge purchasing power.

"But my Great Qin doesn't have any extra gold!" Ying Zheng spoke up and interrupted the internal quarrel.

Even if you have internal conflicts, you should keep them behind closed doors and wait until the outsiders leave.

"Your Majesty also guessed that Qin has none, so he did not force it. He just hoped that Qin could try its best to allocate some." Gongsun Linglong also knew that it was impossible for Qin to give all its gold reserves to Bingzhou.

"Please continue with the second thing, Special Envoy!" Ying Zheng motioned Gongsun Linglong to continue.

"The second thing is that when Bingzhou was first established, it was invaded by grassland tribes such as the Dayuezhi, Xiongnu, and Donghu. Bingzhou has already annihilated the Xiongnu and Donghu, leaving only the Dayuezhi as the enemy. For this reason, my emperor is restless, and the people of Bingzhou are also resentful."

"Therefore, we, the Bingzhou, have decided to announce to the world that we will conquer the Dayuezhi. A gentleman's revenge can be avenged nine generations later!"

Gongsun Linglong continued.

"Conquering the Dayuezhi, isn't that an attack on our Qin State?" No one expected that Bingzhou would go to such great lengths to conquer the Dayuezhi.

But is Dayuezhi still worthy of Bingzhou's attention?

"I told you it wasn't because of me!" Li Yao continued to whisper.
