Chapter 361 The Response of the City Kingdoms
The Western Regions, the cities and kingdoms.
The kings of Kucha, Loulan and other countries gathered together, their faces were very serious.
"What do you guys think about the recent changes in Wusun Kingdom?"
King Kucha asked slowly.
"What else can I say, I can only say that Daqin's edge is too strong, and Wusun Kingdom can't resist it at all, so I can only succumb to Daqin!"
King Loulan smiled wryly and said:
"The biggest problem now is that once Wusun Kingdom completely surrenders to Daqin, there will be no buffer between us and Daqin, and we will have to face each other head-on."
"At that time, I don't know if all of you here can withstand the domestic pressure to merge into Daqin?"
The faces of the kings of various countries suddenly became 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, and many small states are only tens of miles in size, which is only the level of one or two counties in Daqin.
The reason why they joined together was just to deal with the pressure from the former grassland tribes.
What really allowed the countries to survive was not that the strength of the alliance was enough to make the Eastern Hu and the Xiongnu fearful, but that there was a richer and richer Maurya Dynasty in the west that could be plundered, and Loulan and other countries were temporarily despised.
Before Ying Yu's sudden rise, he swept across the three major tribes of the grassland in succession, shocking the kingdoms of the city and walls, but at the same time feeling extremely fortunate.
After all, compared with the barbaric grassland people, Daqin is a desirable civilized country.
The subsequent changes seemed to confirm their guess. Since the prairie was controlled by Daqin, the surrounding situation has stabilized. Daqin's caravans have also begun to pass through various countries, bringing huge benefits to all countries.
Just eating the passing bonus of the Silk Road is enough to make the royal families of all countries so excited that they can't find North.
Although the Daqin Business Alliance is needed, and it pays tribute to Daqin every year, it is only a part of the profits. As long as the peace can be guaranteed, the countries will still accept it.
As for sending some cavalry to form a coalition army of the Western Regions Protectorate, it is not a big problem for all countries.
Many small countries even simply throw out some disobedient thorns, but feel that it is easier.
However, the subsequent changes were beyond everyone's expectations.
In just two years, Daqin has swept across all directions, hitting all the way to Tianzhu and Persia. Those coalition cavalry who followed Daqin were also subdued by Daqin, and they have been advocating the benefits of following Daqin, which has completely become an internal instability in various countries. factor.
What's even more frightening is that with the continuous flow of loot sent back 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 Seleucus, a formerly powerful empire, merged into the Great Qin with the country as a dowry, the sensation it brought was unprecedented.
And this time the appearance of the Daqin Flying Artifact is a critical point, directly making Daqin the kingdom of gods that the people of all countries yearn for.
They can actually understand King Wusun's thoughts.
And what they are more afraid of is whether the situation of Wusun country will appear in their own country?
This is not just speculation, but a very likely thing.
"My lord, the latest information about Daqin has arrived."
Just when the kings of the cities and kingdoms had different expressions, the intelligence officer of the Kucha Kingdom hurried in and handed over a letter.
The attention of the kings of all countries was instantly attracted.
Daqin's attitude is related to their life and death.
"What's the specific situation?"
King Loulan asked anxiously.
"Daqin has already returned the letter of credence for the surrender of Wusun Kingdom, but agreed to the request of the cavalry of Wusun Kingdom from the Allied Forces of the Protectorate of the Western Regions to return to the country to suppress the rebellion."
King Kucha smiled wryly.
"Does it make a difference?"
The kings of the various countries looked at each other, all speechless.
The cavalry of the Western Regions among these coalition forces have long obeyed Da Qin's words. Is this different from Da Qin's direct intervention?
"Actually, there is still a difference."
"That is, Daqin doesn't like Wusun at all. Wusun's ending is at most the same as Da Yuezhi. He can be an eagle dog. He wants to join Daqin directly like Tuan and Seleucus, and get all kinds of benefits from the people of Daqin. Don’t expect such generous treatment in the short term.”
King Qiang sighed and said: "We are still worrying here for a long time, but the Great Qin doesn't like us at all, small and remote countries!"
"If it weren't for us being on the only way to the Western Regions, I'm afraid Daqin wouldn't bother to talk to us at all!"
The faces of many kings suddenly became uglier
This inference is even more difficult for them to accept than Daqin's attempt to devour them.
It's completely contempt that can't be more straightforward.
But soon, the kings of all countries couldn't help trembling.
Because being ignored by Da Qin, there are only two endings.
One is the same as Da Yuezhi, and the other is completely crushed.
Don't really think how benevolent the people of Daqin are. Daqin has never been lenient in dealing with foreign enemies.
Neither the first emperor Yingzheng nor the crown prince Yingyu were merciful masters.
If Daqin 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 unwillingly.
After Wusun, Loulan is the closest to Daqin.
And Loulan is only a city in general, with a population of less than [-], which is not comparable to Daqin.
Daqin didn't even need to go out in person, Da Yueshi could easily mobilize thousands of cavalry to destroy Loulan.
"What else can I do, prepare more gifts, congratulations on the successful first flight of the Daqin Feitian artifact!"
"Now we can only fight for the opportunity to show our faces in Daqin. Even if we can't be merged into Daqin like Tu'an, we must at least be like Da Yuezhi."
King Kucha smiled wryly and said:
"To be honest, I actually envy King Tu'an very much. I don't know how comfortable it is to be a free and easy prince in Xianyang City."
"Furthermore, it is said that Princess Tu'an, Yushu, also entered the Prince's Mansion smoothly.
Princess Yushu is a first-class beauty, and it is not easy to become Prince Qin's pillow. "
"Then why don't our countries choose a few young and beautiful women and send them to Prince Qin?"
King Loulan asked tentatively.
The kings of other countries thought for a while, and their faces showed emotion.
Since ancient times, there is nothing better than a beautiful woman who can deal with an unworldly hero.
And they don't dare to ask for too much, they just want peace, there should be a chance, right?
Of course, it's not without other thoughts.
For example, when King Qiang lowered his head, there was a chill in his gaze. .
