Chapter 361 The Response of the Cities and Kingdoms
The Western Regions, the kingdoms with city walls.
The kings of Qiuci, Loulan and other countries gathered together, their faces very serious.
"What do you think about the recent changes in Wusun Kingdom?"
King Qiuci slowly asked.
"What else can I say? I can only say that the Qin Dynasty is too powerful. The Wusun Kingdom can no longer resist it, so it can only surrender to the Qin Dynasty!"
King Loulan smiled bitterly and said:
"The biggest problem now is that once the Wusun Kingdom completely surrenders to Great Qin, we will lose the buffer zone between us and Great Qin, and we will have to face it head-on."
"When the time comes, I wonder if all of you here will be able to withstand the domestic pressure to merge with Da Qin?"
The faces of the kings of various countries suddenly became even more ugly. After looking at each other for a long time, they turned into sighs.
The city-states, to put it nicely, are actually loose city-states. Many small countries are only a few dozen miles in diameter, which is the level of one or two counties in the Qin Dynasty.
The reason for joining together was just to cope with the pressure from the previous grassland tribes.
What really allowed each country to survive was not that the alliance was powerful enough to scare the East Hu and the Xiongnu, but that the Mauryan Dynasty in the west was richer and more profitable and could plunder, and it was not as good as Loulan and other countries for the time being.
Previously, Ying Yu suddenly rose to prominence and swept through the three major tribes in the grasslands. The kingdoms in the city were shocked and at the same time felt extremely lucky.
After all, compared with the barbaric grassland people, Da Qin is a desirable civilized country.
The subsequent changes seemed to confirm their suspicions. Since the prairie was controlled by Great Qin, the surrounding situation has stabilized, and Great Qin's caravans have also begun to travel to various countries, bringing huge benefits to all countries.
Just enjoying the passing bonus of the Silk Road is enough to make the royal families of various countries so excited that they can't find North.
Although the Great Qin Business Alliance is needed and tribute is paid to Great Qin every year, it is just a partial share of the profits. As long as peace can be guaranteed, all countries will still happily accept it.
As for sending some cavalry to form the Western Region Protectorate Coalition Army, it is not a big problem for various countries.
Many small countries even simply throw out some disobedient thorns, which makes them feel less troublesome.
However, the changes that followed were beyond everyone's expectations.
In just two years, Great Qin actually swung across all directions, all the way to Tianzhu and Persia. The allied cavalry who followed Great Qin were also subdued by Great Qin. They kept advocating the benefits of following Great Qin, which completely caused instability within each country.
factor.
What's even more frightening is that with the continuous flow of loot being returned to the country by the coalition cavalry and the continuous publicity of the wealth of the Great Qin Dynasty, the people in various countries began to yearn for the Great Qin more and more.
Especially after Seleucid, a once powerful empire, merged into the Qin Dynasty with the country as a dowry, the sensation it caused was unprecedented.
The emergence of Great Qin's flying artifact this time was a critical point, directly turning Great Qin into the kingdom of gods that people from all over the world longed for.
They can actually understand King Wusun's thoughts.
What they are even more afraid of is whether Wusun's attack will happen in their own country?
This is not just speculation, it is very possible.
"Your Majesty, the latest information from Da Qin has been sent."
Just when the kings of the kingdoms in the city had different expressions, the intelligence officer of Kucha Kingdom hurried in and handed over a letter.
The attention of the kings of various countries was instantly attracted.
Da Qin's attitude is related to their life and death.
"What's the specific situation?"
King Loulan asked with a worried look on his face.
"Great Qin has returned the letter of credence of the Wusun Kingdom to surrender, but it has agreed to the request of the Wusun Kingdom's cavalry from the Western Region Protectorate's coalition forces to return to the country to quell the rebellion."
King Qiuci smiled bitterly and said.
"Does it make a difference?"
The kings of all the countries looked at each other and were speechless.
The cavalry from the Western Regions among these coalition forces have long been obedient to Da Qin's advice. Is this any different from Da Qin's direct interference?
"Actually there is a difference."
"That is, Great Qin doesn't look down on Wusun at all. Wusun's ending is, at most, the same as that of Da Yueshi. He can be an eagle dog. If he wants to join Great Qin directly like Tu'an and Seleucus, he will gain all the benefits of the people of Great Qin.
Don’t expect generous benefits in the short term.”
King Qiang sighed and said: "We have been worrying here for a long time, but it turns out that Da Qin doesn't look down on us small and remote countries at all!"
"If we weren't on the road that must pass through the Western Regions, Da Qin wouldn't even bother to pay attention to us!"
The faces of many kings suddenly became even more ugly.
This inference was even more difficult for them to accept than the fact that Da Qin wanted to devour them.
It's completely straightforward and can't be more straightforward contempt.
However, soon, the kings of various countries could not help but tremble.
Because he was ignored by Da Qin, there were only two endings.
One is the same as Da Yuezhi, and the other is completely crushed.
Don't really think that the people of Great Qin are so kind. Great Qin has never been soft on foreign enemies.
Neither the First Emperor Ying Zheng nor the Crown Prince Ying Yu were merciful masters.
If Da Qin felt that their existence was an eyesore, he could easily destroy them.
"What are we going to do now?"
After a long time, King Loulan asked with an unwilling expression.
After Wusun, Loulan is the closest to the Qin Dynasty.
Loulan, on the other hand, is only one city with a population of only more than 100,000, which is incomparable to Da Qin.
Da Qin didn't even need to go out personally, Da Yuezhi could easily mobilize thousands of cavalry to destroy Loulan.
"What else can we do? Prepare more gifts and congratulate the Great Qin Feitian Artifact on its successful first flight!"
"Now we can only fight for the opportunity to show our face in the Great Qin. Even if we cannot merge into the Great Qin like Tu'an, we must at least be like the Great Yueshi."
King Qiuci smiled bitterly and said:
"To be honest, I actually envy King Tu'an. Now he is a Xiaoyao Hou in Xianyang City. I don't know how comfortable it is."
"And it is said that Princess Tu'an Yushu also successfully entered the Prince's Mansion.
Princess Yushu is a first-class beauty, it is not easy to become the pillow of the Prince of Qin."
"How about we select a few young and beautiful women from each country and send them to the Crown Prince of Qin?"
King Loulan asked tentatively.
The other kings thought for a moment, and their faces showed expressions of excitement.
Since ancient times, the only thing that can deal with immortal heroes is beauty.
And they don’t dare to ask for too much, they just want peace, so they should have a chance, right?
Of course, it's not that I didn't have other thoughts.
