The twenty-first year of Qin II.

The morning in Xianyang is still so peaceful and clear.

Sixteen years ago, the rebellions in various parts of the eastern counties were put down one after another. The empire mobilized the main force to quell the rebellions in the eastern counties to the Great Wall in the north and the Western Region in the west.

It has been sixteen years, and the war between the empire and the Yuezhi Xiongnu has fallen into a long war of attrition. However, most of the time, the empire was on the defensive.

The empire's border has thousands of miles of Great Wall and 400,000 cloud troops, led by the empire's two generals, Meng Tian and Zhang Han. Most of the time, the Huns had no way to get any benefits.

The stretching city wall is like a deep shackle, standing tall and tall in the north, making the prairie wolf deeply afraid.

Over the years, there have been several large-scale battles between the empire and the Xiongnu. Most of them resulted in peace, and a few suffered small victories.

The most important reason why the empire was unable to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Xiongnu was that the elite cavalry troops from Guanzhong were gradually mobilized to the Western Region Protectorate to fight against the Da Yuezhi's attack.

One defense and one offense, the empire's strategy is very clear, which is to completely resolve the threat in the western region before turning to the northern grasslands.

With the passage of ten years, the economic strength of the eastern counties has gradually recovered, and the empire's offensive against the Da Yueshi has gradually entered a winning trend.

Just a few months ago, General Han Xin completely wiped out the main force of Yuezhi's cavalry on the side of Qilian Mountain.

The Yuezhi's troops are a mixed coalition of Yuezhi and multinational forces. They have lost the intimidation of the Yuezhi's main force, and there are already signs of instability in the Yuezhi country.

As the sun rose, on the street, Qian Shou slowly walked out of the door, but heard a loud voice.

A sergeant on a horse galloped through the streets, singing loudly.

Our army has traveled thousands of miles from Yumen and won all three battles. The Yuezhi please make peace!

Our army has traveled thousands of miles from Yumen and won all three battles. The Yuezhi please make peace!

Our army has traveled thousands of miles from Yumen and won all three battles. The Yuezhi please make peace!

………

The sergeant's voice spread from far to near, and then from near to far, reaching the ears of every Guizhou leader in the imperial capital.

The prosperity of the empire's martial arts brought not only great fame, but also the awe of distant countries.

Neighboring countries paid tribute to Da Qin one after another. Even Rome, which was far to the west, sent envoys to Xianyang to show their goodwill and brought many rare items.

For the head of Guizhou in Xianyang, the Yuezhi's request for peace was really a great thing. Although the people of Lao Qin are not afraid of war, the years of war have caused separation between mother and son, and father and son cannot see each other.

Yuezhi's request for peace means that hundreds of thousands of old Qin people in the Western Regions can return to Guanzhong, return to their homes, and reunite with their parents, wives and children.

……..

Qin Palace.

Although it was daytime, the door to the emperor's palace was closed tightly, and there were waves of scolding sounds.

Ying Ziyi, you are a fool, a lecher, a bastard, and shameless. You actually want me and Xiaoyu to... Ji Ru's voice came faintly from the palace, filled with shyness and anger. But in the end, the sound was inaudible.

What! We are an old married couple, why are you still... Hey! Why did you bite me?

In the bedroom, Ying Ziyi's voice sounded painful.

Not long after, Ying Ziyi walked out of the palace in embarrassment with his clothes half off, while Xiaohe half-knelt outside and bowed.

The three girls of the Mirage Clan have strange skills. If their true power is not fully activated, they will always maintain the figure of a young girl.

Your Majesty, the letter of credence for the Yuezhi's request for peace has arrived. The courtiers are also waiting for Your Majesty in the Chancery!

Oh? Have you finally sued for peace? How many more years did I think the two queens of the Yuezhi would last? Ying Ziyi bit a shoe and got dressed outside the palace. Fortunately, Xiaohe The palace attendants around the palace have already been dismissed, otherwise the emperor's majesty would be completely lost if Ying Ziyi looked like this in the eyes of these people!

Your Majesty, after General Han Xin destroyed the main force of the Yuezhi on the side of the Qilian Mountains, the Yuezhi domestic rebellion has continued. Although King Arthur quelled several secret rebellions in the country, the rifts among the various clans within the Kushan have deepened. They If we don't seek peace, it will only be a matter of time before Kushan splits.

….

In Shangshu Taichung, several important officials from the empire were already waiting.

See Your Majesty!

Seeing Ying Ziyi walking in, all the courtiers saluted.

Get back on your feet! Ying Ziyi said, sitting on the dragon chair, waving his hands casually.

Have you heard about the Yuezhi's request for peace?

The ministers looked at each other, and Prime Minister Chen Ping walked out and said: The Yuezhi country has not been peaceful in the past few years. The successive military defeats have also caused the prestige of the two queens of the Yuezhi to decline. This time, we are suing for peace. Their sincerity is extremely high and should not be a delaying strategy.”

I think so too. Ying Ziyi nodded and said, It's just that in your opinion, the empire is at war or at peace.

Your Majesty, I think you should respond!

From the palace, a young general named Ying Guang, with a face like a crown jewel, walked out.

He is the son of Princess Yingluo. But this princess Yingluo has never been married. Who is Yingguang's father? Nobles all over Xianyang are speculating, and there are various opinions.

For a princess who was pregnant out of wedlock, gossip was inevitable. However, the current emperor, Ying Ziyi, was very kind to the mother and son. He often called them into the palace and rewarded them generously.

Ying Guang was recruited into the palace at a young age, was granted the title of Langwei, and often accompanied the emperor.

Ying Ziyi thought highly of him and said, Tell me what you think.

Yes, Your Majesty! Ying Guangzhuangyong, but with a mother's elegance in his face, said: I thought that the war in the west has been dragged on for too long, and the supply line has been stretched for thousands of miles. If it weren't for General Han Xin If we move our troops well and win repeated battles, the empire's war in the west may fall into a militaristic situation.

Yingguang was young and energetic, and he expressed his admiration for Han Xin repeatedly in his words.

Chen Ping smiled secretly. This means that Ying Guang dared to say it in front of the emperor. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to please him.

Ying Ziyi nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue.

Ying Guang took the affirmation and plucked up the courage to continue, The empire's great enemy has always been the Xiongnu in the north. Even if the empire's army crossed the Congling Mountains and destroyed the Yueshi, they still could not carry out effective attacks on the land there. Management. In this case, it is better to gain an advantage in the peace talks with the Yuezhi, and then transfer the main force from the Western Regions back to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Xiongnu.

Ying Ziyi looked at Chen Ping and asked, What do you think, Prime Minister?

Chen Ping cupped his hands and said: I think Lang Wei is right. Sima Fa said: Although a country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish. If we want to completely wipe out the Yueshi, it will take at least several years. It is cold in the Congling Mountains, and our army If the main force crosses into the hinterland of Kushan, there will be heavy casualties on the way, and the food road runs thousands of miles, making support difficult. Although the imperial soldiers and civilians are not afraid of battle, they will be in danger if they fight for a long time. The enemy in the north has not been eliminated, and the Xiongnu's rangers often Spying on the border. At this time, conducting a war to destroy the country may not be beneficial to the empire.

I understand, then I will agree to Yuezhi's request for peace.

Your Majesty, Holy Might!

But I want the Queen of the Yuezhi to come to Xianyang in person to discuss the specific matters of peace before I stop the army! Ying Ziyi changed the topic, but the meaning behind his words shocked all the ministers present.
