"General, can they understand what we've written?"
Watching his soldiers busy carving characters on wooden boards, Zhang Han couldn't help but scratch his head.
The wicked man, without even glancing to the side, sneered, "I refuse to believe that such a large Yuezhi tribe wouldn't have a single person who can understand Qin characters?"
"It's really hard to say." Erniu and Chun Ning also agreed with Zhang Han's words.
"Heh...they'll understand sooner or later!"
"The standardization of writing and the standardization of cart tracks are not limited to the land of China."
"The achievements of the First Emperor should be magnified!"
The wicked husband uttered several phrases that left them completely bewildered.
Later generations have said that in the five thousand years of history, there have been countless people of extraordinary talent, and what they lacked was not ability or strength.
What's missing?
What's missing is that world map!
The first emperor recognized by later generations as capable was the First Emperor, who was said to be a powerful and ruthless ruler who could conquer the world.
He really wanted to see if, with his assistance, he could lead the Qin cavalry to conquer the world after presenting the world map to the First Emperor.
Of course, he was also very averse to the construction of the Great Wall. It seems that only the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang did not build the Great Wall, and he had to nip it in the bud from the source, the First Emperor.
As the saying goes, the strongest defense is a good offense. Instead of wasting a lot of manpower and resources building the Great Wall, we should use it to fight.
"Hey... now there's one less miracle to be had..."
"It seems we'll have one less tourist attraction in the future."
As he thought about it, a mocking smile appeared on the wicked man's face.
"General, the inscription is finished!"
Hearing the voice, the wicked man snapped out of his chaotic thoughts, glanced at the vigorous characters, and smiled with satisfaction. "Not bad handwriting. I didn't expect there to be intellectuals in our Black Dragon Armor Army."
Although he didn't know what "intellectual" meant, he figured it was still a compliment, so the Black Dragon Armored Army soldier immediately said, "I am Zhang Erhe. Thank you for your praise, General."
"My family was relatively well-off for a few years when I was a child, so I learned to read for a few years. Even after my family's fortunes declined, I didn't stop learning."
"Zhang Erhe? What a nice name!" The wicked man's lips twitched, then he patted the man's shoulder. "I'll remember you. Do a good job."
Zhang Erhe was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
The wicked man said no more, looked up at the sky, and said, "The Yuezhi people who escaped last night should have all gone far away. Soon the news will spread throughout the Yuezhi tribe. We should go back and return in triumph."
"yes!"
Zhang Han and the other two understood his meaning and turned to leave to organize the soldiers to assemble.
The wicked man stared at the large characters on the wooden board in front of him: "Those who offend the Great Qin shall be punished!" He felt that something was missing.
"Got it!"
After a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Zhang Erhe, use the blood of the Yuezhi people to dye the wooden board red, otherwise it will feel like it lacks some of its killing intent and sharpness."
Zhang Erhe quickly took action. The wooden planks were soon completely stained red with corpses and pools of blood.
"Alright, let's put this plank in front of the camp gate and let's go!"
The wicked man led the Black Dragon Armored Army towards the Qin Kingdom, leaving behind only a scene of devastation and mounds of corpses.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The wicked man returned to Xianyang City at dawn. He instructed Zhang Han and a few others to lead the soldiers back to Zhushan first, and then he went to the palace alone to meet Ying Zheng and attend the court assembly.
On the other side.
The homeless Yuezhi people could only seek out nearby tribes, and thus spread the news of the Qin army's attack on the Yuezhi.
The Yuezhi royal court.
"Report—!!"
"Your Majesty, the Qin state has sent troops into the territory of my Yuezhi and massacred six of my tribes, including the Niesang tribe, which was completely wiped out."
"And...and..."
The Yuezhi King Tuo Mouhei's hand, holding a wine cup, froze in mid-air. His face was cold and icy. He said in a low voice, "What 'what 'what'? Speak quickly."
The young scout swallowed hard. "They slaughtered all the men, women, and children of the tribe, and piled their heads into a small mountain at the tribe's gate..."
At this point, a loud 'bang' was heard, and Tuo Mouhei overturned the table in front of him, scattering the fruits and roasted meat all over the floor, his chest heaving violently.
"Qin...how dare you!"
Tuo Muhei's eyes flashed with murderous intent; he wished he could lead his men to counterattack Qin right now.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"
The man sitting in the third seat to his right stood up. If Wu Shiluo were here, he would definitely recognize this man; he was the Yuezhi man he had bumped into that day.
This person was named Ezina, and he came from the Ezi branch of the Yuezhi, whose tribe ranked among the top three in the entire Yuezhi.
He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, although the Qin people have had many conflicts with us, they would not suddenly take action. There must be a reason for this."
Tuo Mouhei usually valued Ezina highly and was quite confident in his intelligence. He suppressed his anger and asked, "In your opinion, what is the reason?"
To be honest, he would have to think twice if he wanted revenge. The Central Plains had a strong army and a constant stream of peerless generals.
Not to mention the Qin state, which was one of the most outstanding among them.
Over the years, the Yuezhi, Xiongnu, Donghu, and other ethnic groups have had numerous conflicts with the states of the Central Plains, but they have never dared to wage large-scale warfare because they were simply outmatched...
Otherwise, given his volatile temper, he would have been unable to control his anger and would have already led his troops to seek revenge.
Ezina pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, "Your Majesty, it must be because of the Huanrong matter. How did Qin obtain this information?"
After racking his brains for a long time, he still couldn't figure out where the news had leaked!
Tuo Mouhei's face darkened further upon hearing this. He had no one to blame but himself. He had been envious and wanted a share of the spoils. Now that the Great Qin had come knocking on his door, it was only natural.
